    ‘Disturbed’ won a Grammy for this performance. David Draiman had extensive background training as a child in a synagogue where his dad was a cantor. Then he had operatic training in college. And I agree. He’s one of the best singers out there. Paul Simon wrote this in 1964. He loves ‘Disturbed’s rendition!

      I wasn't expecting him to be this good to be honest.

And he originaly wanted to make it more heavy and up beat like the other covers they made before, but the band convinced him to go on the oposite direction he mention he had to use habilities that he havn't used since the church chorus, everyone was surprised on how good it came out.

      I am 66 yrs young and could listen to this song over and over again.

    He's a natural high Baritone, with good top notes. With age, (and some help from substances) the low notes come out on their own from relaxation. His clean tone is well refined from good practice and technique. When it comes to Rasp, most singers have their own technique to add that in. David seems to up the pressure on his high notes, push with the false vocal folds a bit and bam, good sounding rasp, (after years of practice of course).

      I agree. The backing was very well done. Love the kettle drums! But Draiman's voice is the epitome of vocal mastery, and takes center place!

    Thank you, Marco and Ali. I've been waiting for this reaction! And I didn't know that you were already familiar with the recording, but I'm not surprised. I remember when the original Simon & Garfunkel song was first released, and the impact it had on me back then. I felt the same way all over again the first time I heard Disturbed's version (this very video, the Conan performance).

    The first time I heard this song on the radio I had to pull my car over on the side of a highway just to take it in. Such a powerful rendition, and the message applies today just as it did when S&G recorded it

    Guys, first time I heard this amazing version I could hardly say anything for a few moments. Almost moved to tears. I remember thinking WTF have I just watched? It's like a gift direct from God almighty. David's incredible voice backed up by the incredible orchestral arrangement are a match made in heaven and to think he's singing this live is almost beyond belief. I've watched this hundreds of times now and every time, although I know what's coming, I still get goosebumps. WOW.

      I didn't even start watching the reaction to this video before coming straight down here to make the exact same comment. 😁 Myles Kennedy has such a beautiful voice, he sings highs like no other. It's so unique that you recognize it as him immediately when you hear it.

    David Draiman was very ill with a cold or flu during this performance, running a fever. There might be a bit more nasal tone a few times, but really, he killed it. Astounding.

    You should watch "David Draiman Warm Up" It's a video of him singing Unchained Melody while warming up. It's only a one minute video so I don't think it would be very good for a reaction. Just watch it by yourselves. It's truly amazing.

    I absolutely love your reaction, I have watched this waayyyy too many times, but I don't care I will continue to do so...So funny though, I got goosebumps the exact same time that you did. My Dad used to play Simon and Garfunkel when I was a child (yes I'm old) so that's all I knew of this song. They brought out the wine, David brought the whiskey. And apparently this version brought Simon to tears, you can't get a better stamp of approval then that! :) thanks guys

    Goose bumps. David Draiman's voice restores my faith that not all 21st Century "singers" are half assed, bubble-gum brats who feud with each other when they jump to the charts via a t.v. talent show. Draiman's talent is authentic, hard earned and flawless; he and others like him pay their dues.

    An undeniably powerful performance full of grit and emotion but I think I like the original Simon and Garfunkel style a little better and that includes the Peter Hollens/Tim Foust version. This one would have to rank just barely behind those though.
    There is a Tori Kelly video that you need to react to and that is her "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing". Absolutely fantastic but there might be a copywright problem. You need to figure out some way to do a reaction to it though. Even if you have to do it like you did with the PTX "Perfect" video.
