Before I jumped into hard rock / heavy metal and branching out to deathcore and visual kei and whatnot, I was a huge pop head. I used to listen to Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Sean Paul, I was in it for that and R&B and dance. The first metal song I got into was 'Wait and Bleed' by Slipknot. From there alongside Mudvayne, Three Days Grace, and Korn, from 3rd Grade and now I was hooked. I jumped down my own rabbit hole around 6th - 8th Grade when I discovered metalcore and deathcore (Miss May I, The Amity Affliction, Attack Attack!, Thy Art is Murder, Whitechapel, etc.). I'm still pretty much scavenging the rabbit hole a bit more as if now and in 8th Grade is when I had my introduction to visual kei (Dir en grey, KILLANETH, D'espairsRay, the GazettE), then came Deviloof and some other modern bands about two / three years later...
I basically went from singing 'Firework' to my 1st Grade class to screaming, growling, singing, and just making noises in the shower-
Super similar story here! The only difference is that I was jumping around singing songs by C+C Music Factory, Montell Jordan, La Bouche, oh god I'm feeling old......I gotta stop....
@@KardavoxAcademy what, no Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch? No INXS? Just trying to fan that fire
@5555Thecrow You're right. The only way most of these vocal coaches could actually be legitimate and have suddenly appeared seemingly out of nowhere would be if they'd had a career in private for years that we never knew about because how would we find out?
Then, something really drastic would have had to have occurred, such as a pandemic that had everyone locked down in their homes for weeks and non-essential business to close or move their business online for MONTHS. ComPLETEly implausible, I know.
THEN, in order for all of these so-called "Vocal Coaches" to suddenly have channels and subscribers, we would have had to have had something called CZcams and web cameras and something else called Amazon to help everyone buy video recording gadgets during said pandemic.
So yeah... totally fake.
No way could all of them be legitimately trying to take their experience and combine it into a video production. That would be BONKERS.
Not only that, but for these "so-called" videos to just suddenly show up in your suggestions or search criteria, there would have to be some sort of so-called "search algorithms" that CZcams created that actually work.
You totally stumbled upon the conspiracy of the DECADE. Good for you.
@5555Thecrow I've been watching this dude's videos for about a year now and he has a good understanding of vocal anatomy, but clearly I should go back in time and tell past me not to bother, cos someone on the internet told me it's all lies, without any form of evidence, knowledge or charisma to back up their words.
@@KardavoxAcademy La Bouche is legendary - No shame!
David Draimon is the most talented active vocalist alive in my opinion. His range, his use of fry, and his ability to switch between fry and pure along with his breath control is amazing. The fact that this performance was done while he was ill speaks volumes about his abilities. I've listened to this song thousands of times and it never fails to give me goosebumps
Wow wee .. a fukn amazing .. but beautiful and hits my soul
Shivers and the odd tear or two
My favorites are David Draimon and Ronnie Radke.
No freakng way. Draimon is really good, but there are TONS of vocalist out there who so COMPLETELY SURPASS HIM, that is not even funny... Like Jorn Lande (to name just one).
Same here mate
I saw disturbed last year and they did this song. It was absolutely amazing. This song really needs to be heard live with your own ears. This man is talented beyond belief.
I adore this band I saw them several times
I was astounded at how on point he was when I saw them.
I hope I can experience this live at some point in my life
Totally yes !!!!!!!!!
What is Spectacular about David’s live performance is he was suffering from 102 temperature because of a bad head and chest cold, it is the reason why he was having to sit while singing, but being a professional not wanting to disappoint the audience he didn’t cancel and went on to sing live!
I love the way he draws out his consonants..All of it is just exquisite I also love a deep baritone voice..."shivers"
My brother passed away in April of last year. He wanted me to listen this this version since it came out. I thought it would be a dishonor to S&G but eventually I gave in. From David's first word I was hooked. I must have listened to Disturbed's version over 100 times and never tire of it. We played it at my brother's funeral. I miss him so much. This song connects me back to all the good in my brother. Thank you.
very sorry about your brother. his voice is so powerful it brings tears, cant imagine the tears at a funeral? most people have no clue to this band and it goes straight to your soul imo.
Totally get it …. I felt the same …
"Now, it does sound like there might be a little live processing on his voice... I'm just gonna say that I don't care"
Oh, but David did. He HATED being autotuned despite being so sick he could barely stand.
If you pause it in the right place, you can see him giving stink-eye to someone off camera when he hears it the first time...
I am really bad at noticing auditory details like the live processing on the voice. I have tried to hear it out but couldn't spot it. Is it throughout the entire thing (which would explain why I can't find a difference between one section and another) or is it really just in a couple of occasions? I'd like to learn a bit^^
Barely stand? Dude he was sitting that entire performance if you look closely. His breath control while sitting is insanity.
@@dananaw The secret is the way he's sitting.
If you have a stool of the proper height (and you sit on the edge as he's doing) the posture of your torso is the same as if you were standing, and the sacrum can still freely move as you breathe.
Singing while sitting gets a bum rap a lot of times because people either slouch, trap their sacrum in the seat, or curl around a guitar and compress their diaphragm, but it's totally doable if you know the physiology behind it.
lol....I was just going to coment that.... besides....a sick David, is still better than most singers.
Finally a vocal coach that has actually heard of disturbed who can appreciate the amazing rage and capacity for different style David has!
He was sick the night of this performance. He was upset that they did in a spot or two had corrected his voice. He was not happy about it at all. His voice is so trained that even sick he blows you away.
David is one of the most unique singers I've ever heard, seeing him live was awesome!
Ooowawawawa
@@michaelhayes8989 Yeeees! 😅
Liar. Stop lying to me.
I've seen them twice and by far, my favorite live performers. They really sound like that live! Life changing
Disturbed Oslo last year 😍
His vibrato paired with the distortion is what is so impressive. It’s just so powerful and controlled with incredible range.
I love when he holds those high notes with a mostly straight tone. It's like hitting a bell, so warm and smooth.
Finally a vocal coach for metal that knows what the hell he's talking about I'm glad I found this video because I've watcher a lot of these reactions and this is the first time I found one for a vocal coach for metal music
Thanks Tony, glad you liked it. Look forward to seeing you on more of our videos!
Shame he cannot even get close to as clean as David he cannot teach him a single thing he hasn't got the bare TALLENT. When he adds in his pretentious additions it shows he isn't even close
@@gowdsake7103 A vocal coach does not need to sing as well as the student to be able to teach the student. I have had coaches that do not have my voice quality but that I have learned plenty from. I appreciated the analysis on this reaction, although I don't agree with the take on the end as I love that closed consonant on "silence." All a matter of personal preference. David's voice is perfection in my opinion.
@@gowdsake7103 Since when do coaches need to sing “better”?
They just need to know technique and be able to teach it to do their job.
Adam Levine on the Voice coaching tons of people with better voices comes to mind.
David Draiman is classically trained and also a cantor singer. He was sick the night he performed live on Conan, so pretty awesome considering!
Only one vocal coach reacting to this song noticed that. Kudos to her!
@@arctic_haze Yes, I saw on another video that he had been ill, and that the studio had insisted on some live processing, which David didn't really want.
so, he was...down with the sickness?
He does sound a bit nasal.
Makes this performance all the more amazing
For being sick he sounded amazing, even if he was not sick here he would sound just as awesome. Just the type of guy he is !!
I was gonna say I thought he had a sinus issue during this performance.
honestly he didn't sound that much different lol
would you say.... he was down with the sickness?
Actually he has a disease that causes acid to spill on to your vocal cords and makes it harder to sing clean vocals, but easier to add more grit and distortion to your voice.
My daughter introduced me to metal by playing me this song after a Disturbed concert. David Draimon had said your parents will know this one. I was blown away, and have been a big Disturbed fan since
David Draiman sounds just as good live as he does on album. Saw him my first day of high school back in 2008 and it was incredible. Dude's incredibly talented.
Seeing Disturbed live at least once is on my bucket list. If I do not manage to somehow make it work (I came so close this year but damn covid ruined it!), I will certainly come back as a ghost with unfinished business and haunt rock and metal concerts.
The thing with the vowels like 'silennnnnnnnnnnnce' rather than sileeeeeeence I think is the focus on the emotion he's conveying. The N is closed, quieter, which fits with the theme of the song there. 2 words earlier he does the opposite with sOOUUnd... Same with the distortion vs clean vocals a little earlier in tenement halls, etc. To me it feels intuitive, like one of those things that I'd do better on a first try than after rehearsing and practicing for a long time. And I think that's why the song brings chills every time I hear it.
David has always hated vowels, it's in his singing style
@@ItsNotaPhaze he must like thnks fr th mmrs
You are so right! And as a rock singer, it gives less "classical sound and more contemporary sound", to singing silennnnnnnnnce.. A choice by David, for sure.
I started reading the comments after that bit. I thought it was a deliberate choice to keep the song darker. The "e" would have made it too "bright" and it would have completely changed the emotions he was trying to convey and maybe the entire mood of the song. I think closing it like that would have made it sound much less solemn (and... ominous, I'd say).
I am NOT into metal/hard rock or anything close......but this rendition of The Sound of Silence has me mesmerized. I have listened to this dozens of times. I’m a country fan, the acapella group Home Free is amazing, and I love the music of the late 50’s & 60’s......i was born in 1961. Again.....I love this song!
Wow, you are one of the first "vocal coach reacts" who actually seems to be a competent vocal coach who actually knows what they are taking about.
Shame he cannot even get close to David's skill
I know virtually nothing about music, but absolutely love how it sounds when he holds on the n in silence, and absolutely hate how it sounds every time I hear a vocal coach talking about holding on the e.
Exactly they all gob off but not a one even gets get close
"im interested to hear him live"
David: a Vocal god.
This is one of those covers that transcends the original, a “Johnny Cash - Hurt” moment.
5555Thecrow lmao you need a hobby. mark is great and I’ve even taken a lesson with him.
Also I agree Abhais to an extent, still prefer the original in this case though.
Nah. David killed this. Even the original band bowed down to this version.
The holding on the "n" on "silence" at the end is actually something Paul Simon also does. It is something done often in poetry and songwriting to use certain consonants to convey certain emotions. Edgar Allen Poe, for example, uses "r" over and over again in his poems to convey despair and building anxiety. In the same way Paul Simon uses "n" in this song to convey the desperate silence, and stays on the "n" to almost actually imitate "the sound of silence." The first verse all ends in words that fit this.
"Hello darkness my old frieNd, I've come to talk with you agaiN.
Because a vision softly speakiNg, left its seeds while I was dreamiNg.
And the vision that was planted in my braiN, still remaiNs
Within the souNd of SileNce."
And even though David doesn't to it in his version, Paul Simon always hold the note on the "n", drawing attention to the consonance. This was sort of my Master's paper.
Perfectly put! Yes!
This is FASCINATING!! What a cool topic to write about!
He is vocally trained as a cantor during his childhood. Amazing control.
Mark: hits f sharp twice on the keyboard 3x...
*Michael Myers enters the chat*
what have I done.............................
@5555Thecrow are you drunk?
@5555Thecrow Definitely not fake haha
@5555Thecrow this man picked random comments to copy paste this on. Real turbo virgin vibes right there
Oh it wasn't meant as an insult iwas pointing out the obvious. You're arguement is not only pointless its retarded, of course there are going to be fake vocal coaches however, you'd have to be the definition of stupidity to suggest this is whats going on here.
Consistently the only 'vocalist reacts' video that actually brings insight and knowledge into what makes the song special.
I've watched so many of these videos now and nothing compares that face Mark makes when Devin Townsend hits those pitched fry screams in Dead Head
Haha thanks for the kind words. And man.....that whole song is a moment of its own.
@@KardavoxAcademy i wanted to write same, i have looked so much reaction but you are the first to do pause for a good reason, with a full analysis of what, why and how the singer play his instrument. Thank you Sir for this very interesting analysis.
It's really awesome to see someone get as excited as I do about David Draiman's way of switching on and off the grit in his voice at will and so quickly.
It's awesome how hyped you get when he starts getting raspy. David Draiman has one of the best voices in metal. Such a massive range.
The thing that I discovered first and that ultimately led me to liking all kinds of metal was Nickelback...
And I'm not ashamed.
Nickelback fans represent! They really don't deserve the internet hate. I think it just became a meme, cuz more than half the people who say Nickelback is garbage or mom-rock don't really have any opinions to back up why they think that. They just repeat what someone else said.
You should be ashamed of yourself
So what you’re saying is you were a fan of Nicklenack when it was socially acceptable to like whatever music you liked? Same. But, for me it was breaking Benjamin, System of a Down, and Chevelle.
Ha ha, that’s ok, bruh.
I'm 39. In 1994(13yo) I loved music, but, listened to mainly pop(Paula Abdul, Ace of Base, Vanilla Ice, etc.)
My best friend always made fun of me. So we went on a camping trip and he had The Crow soundtrack, which just came out.
The Badge by Pantera came on and something came over me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had heard metal before, but, this....this was a breakthrough for me. I listened to it over and over. It filled my body with so much power, like a drug.
We went to a mall and I got the new Pantera(Far Beyond Driven) and White Zombie's - La Sexoristo.
This is when it took me over, and changed me, molded me to what I am today. FBD is still my favorite album to this very day.
I never knew music could you be such a powerful force. I never understood how some people have no interest in it.
So damn true, I can relate. The first taste of metal snags ya deep, man.
He was also running 103 fever with the flu this night. Makes David draiman all the more incredible
I think they way he sung silence and the sound was very intentional and careful placed. He definately knows how to place each word to tell a story and make you feel what he is singing
Not a bad performance for someone who was actually ill during his appearance. Best cover EVER.
The really remarkable thing about that performance was that David was quite sick the day they recorded this. It produced a quieter yet powerful version of the song. He sounds that good sick as a dog. Watch the official video if you want to hear him singing it with full power and even smoother transitions.
Born in 1968 so the 80's were my teenage years, and some of the best music ever made.
David: flips the distortion switch.
Kardavox: looks like a little kid opening his Christmas presents.
I got into Asking Alexandria. I was trying to impress this goth/emo girl in middle school and I asked what she was listening to. She played me Morte Et Dabo by AA and I was kinda confused as to why she liked it. Later on that week I looked into them some more and found A Prophecy and the Final Episode which had more singing and electronic parts that were more familiar. Then I kinda started digging it and got more into Metalcore. Eventually it developed in High School and College into liking Black metal and Prog Metal.
And now you only listen to blackened deathcore??
@@blakeshults9850 hah. That's me but I wouldn't say only. I love lots of doom and dark euro bands
Morte et Dabo is so awesome that’s so cool!
As much as screams are my thing, there is something about almost operatic singing can move you. I felt myself almost tearing up i was so touched. Perhaps one day I'll figure out how to sing. That was beautiful.
Disturbed were one of the very first bands that made my shift to heavy music. I used to listen to rap on cassettes, 50 cent, eminem etc. Then i found a linkin park cd - minutes to midnight and the aggression blew my mind. I loved it. My auntie is a massive muso and heard i liked it and did some research for me and bought me indestructible by disturbed. That album changed my life. ❤️❤️
David Draiman is classically trained and also a Cantor singer!
The "screams" as you call it is a actually called " fry vocals!"
Lisa Kraft I was talking all distorted vocals.
I am actually a fry scream vocalist, but there’s also false chord as well, and anything else in between
He was quite sick that night with the flu that night and his voice was still amazing!
I love David so much for his talent. Wouldn’t it be amazing to meet him.
His singing, his voice is simply unbelievable. I’m sitting here waiting for my husband to arrive. If he doesn’t hurry up I might swop him for our very special David. I wish, giggle.
Awesome reaction video man. I loved your explanation between the parts. Amazing voice you have as well!
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed!
The first metal song I heard was Enter Sandman.......and I was never the same again 😁 I was 12
Hell yes
I am a Classic Rock Fan, I grew up in to 70's now a Grand father and at 60 I heard Disturbed "Sound of Silence" version and It has turned me on to listening to other disturbed songs, what I learned was that Metal had more to offer than just noise. I have added Disturbed to my play lists and what I like about them is their messages in their songs, it's positive from a negative, overcoming Adversity, addiction, depression, sickness and to fight.
I grew up with just the Simon and Garfunkel version. His performance gives this song the power and meaning I believe it truly needed to be effective. He sings as if a tremendous injustice has taken place and he seeks to make sure everyone knows it. I’m blown away every time I hear it. When Metallica released their Black album in 1991, it was my gateway. Prior to that, I listened to all the rock my dad listened to like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Bad Company, and the rest of them from that era. I’m 45 now and crank it up higher than ever. My wife hates it… lol
Ooh, what got me into the harsher genres... 5 Finger Death Punch’s Bad Company for sure!
What got me into metal was the soundtrack to Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Hearing Mastodon, Bullet for my Valentine, and Avenged Sevenfold over and over again in that soundtrack definitely built the base for me getting into metal
Goosebumpy and so wondrously doing things to my mind and emotions … what a song ..what a singer .. reckon it was made to be sung by him … as an oldie and growing up with S &G singing this ( and loving it ) … I balked at hearing David’s rendition , … boy, am I so glad I caved … I love the song even more and he gives it such a powerful impetus of where we’re at now as a human species .. he’s translated the message to our modern existence … great stuff 🍒
I really love how you explain everything in detail and show examples. Love the reaction/review. ❤️❤️
I had always liked the sound of rock music as a child, but I was never allowed to listen to it. In middle school I began to get more freedom and started listening to new music on the music channels on cable. Came across BFMV and loved it. Became addicted to rock music pretty quickly and listened to nothing but it for a few years before moving into heavier stuff (started out with Cradle of Filth in 9th grade).
When I was about 10 years old I listened to a lot of punk rock, this was right about the time of American Idiot. One day, my father asked me to come into his studio, he was a painter, and very disorganized. He told me he tried to sort his old cassette tapes. He found a bootleg of Manowar's Battle Hymns, which he acquired in the mid eighties in East-Berlin's black markets. He played it to me and I was fucking in. In the following years, I moved on to Dio, Hammerfall, that kind of stuff. I found my way into Power Metal, and Blind Guardian became my favorite band. When I discovered Judicator's At the Expense of Humanity, I got really into long songs and harsh vocals. I branched out into prog metal after that.
I don't listen to Manowar anymore, I have solidified myself in the realm of Power Metal, Prog Metal and Melodeath, but that is where my journey started.
My first real intro to rock/metal was Linkin Park’s “Somewhere I Belong”. The guitars in that song still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. RIP Chester. You are missed.
we love Mark, you can tell he truly enjoys helping others improve their vocal abilities
Absolutely! Thanks for the kind words!
Ironically what got me into rock the most was marching band. We played a lot of rock and pop tunes, mixes of Green Day, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. and our band teacher would play the original songs so we had a better idea of what we were trying to emulate. Some of them grabbed my attention, so I started looking them up on CZcams, then CZcams started feeding me more and more bands. Next thing I know I've got Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed albums on my mp3 player. That was about half a decade ago. I've fallen more into the heavy metal side of things in the last couple of years after I started listening to Slipknot. It's a good bridge between genres because of the mix of clean vocals and heavy distortion. Now I've discovered Jinjer and death metal seems much more approachable. It's been a step by step process, but I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Check out tool. Maynard has a very distinctive voice.
When i was 12 or 13 i was in Texas with some family. A friend of the family brought her daughter to hang out. She started playing Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory album. The whole album drug me in and that was my turning point!
At the time of this recording he was running a 101 temp and was sick as a dog. They wanted to re-schedule the performance but he wouldn't have it and as we all can see knocked it out of the park.
I grew up on AC/DC and Metallica...... but the first time hearing Du Hast from Rammstein was what got me hooked to metal.
Here is something interesting... I am not a big Metal fan. I love Disturbed. David having been classically trained as a Cantor is evident in his flawless singing.
So glad I found this channel! Nothing against all the opera singer reaction channels, but now it’s time get rocking! Time to start digging through these videos! Cant wait! 🤘
Hearing Chop suey by system of a down for the first time is what made me love metal as a kid. The likes of disturbed, Metallica and others deepened that love.
The Diary of Jane was the one that got me into modern rock/metal. Wish I could see a timeline chart of how I got from there to IA now. LOL
The first death metal song I heard was “‘Master’s Apprentices” by Opeth. And after that I never looked back. Love this this channel! Such an amazing, in depth, analysis of metal vocals!
Really enjoyed your reaction. I've watched a lot of them and I loved the "educational" part you included throughout. Obviously you know what you are talking about. You caught some of the same subtleties that the opera coaches pointed out. Plus I loved your personality - the facial expressions and your vibrant energy through this. Not a heavy metal fan, but just happened to catch this one. Really fun - I'll look at more. Thanks for the vocal hints.
Awesome, thanks so much for watching, glad you dug it!
Best vocal analysis channel. Keep the good stuff comin' man, much respect from Greece.
Thanks bro!
As is well known and stated, David was rather ill, so they auto tuned him... Without his knowledge... He was rather disturbed by it
I see what you did there. lol
But yeah, that was a garbage move to do that without his knowledge.
iirc though, they only auto tuned a couple of the high notes not trusting he’d hit them. But still, yeah, he was disturbed.
Some people say, he was even down with the sickness.
Many stated it even made him “Shout 2000” times
@@THEOGMBWWRESTLING And now USA has turned into a «Land of confusion».
Avenged Sevenfold Unholy Confessions is what got me into harsher music. Thats when I discovered Lamb of God and was hooked. Entered the rabbit hole and still havent returned lol
David turned my sights to Disturbed when I heard this song for the first time. Because of the vocals, accompanied by an excellent melody (thanks to S&G), my heart was captured and I can still see the storyline in my mind being played out. I love this version and I respect and am enchanted with the lyrics - all because of David's rendition of the classic song.
I have an older brother that would blast White Zombie in the morning while we were getting ready to go to school so that played a role in my choice of music. I also played in a Misfits cover band for a couple of years but the one song that really got me hooked, and it's still one of my favorite songs to this day, would be Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name. I constantly played it over and over...and over again.
“Enter The Sandman” in the 7th grade. I was definitely on the path to pop music when Metallica and then Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” made it into the pop charts with regular air play on 93Q. It’s why I never criticize metal and hard rock bands that get a popular hit. Somewhere, an adolescent child is hearing that heavy music on their pop channel, and discovering better music!
When I was 6 I snuck into my older brothers room(14 years older) and borrowed some of his cds. In the pile I grabbed was Disturbed The Sickness album. I thought ewww this looks weird. So I put it in my CD player and when Voices first came on I wasn’t into it. However I decided to skip a few songs and ended up on Down With The Sickness. That was the first metal song I actually liked, so I went to my brother and asked for more music like that. That’s when he gave me Korn Issues and Avenged Sevenfold Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, and with that my metal journey had begun.
When I was a young child I was into pop music but when I was Boy Scouts I was introduced into Metallica Ride The Lightning album and SOAD. But in High School my friend introduced me into Angelmaker and all of that blasting beauty
"A little to the party" - Me too! Well, your review, anyhow! 🙂 I enjoy how you explain the finer details in what David is doing while he is singing. It helps me appreciate the song and style even more. Thank you for taking the time to do this review!
“Let the notes out. Don’t force them out, don’t reach for them - they’re already there.” - Mark Garrett
Also listening to Pantera and Lamb of God is how I discovered I’m a metal head
So you just went head first into the genre.
Hell yeah.
This is a powerful cover of a song written in 1965!! This group has never done a song like this before as they are a Hard Rock/Metal group!!
This is my favorite song recorded in the past 5 years!! Wondrously and remarkably this is so far removed from Disturbed's typical music that anyone (EVERYONE?) is taken aback and or blown away!!
Not until this was released (12/2015) did anyone feel these lyrics so intensely!! This is way more dominant and dynamic than the 1965 original; not necessarily better!!
This song SHOULD be listened to by anyone who likes music; all genre listeners should experience this song!!
IMO, 2 more magical songs, check out Heart paying tribute to Led Zeppelin (2012) in front of the boyz!! Beautiful/Powerful/Incredible Version!! = czcams.com/video/8e2fJfiddx4/video.html and then listen to Johnny Cash remake a Nine Inch Nail song (Grunge)... and own it!! = czcams.com/video/8AHCfZTRGiI/video.html and extra special... please listen to the video for this song (it was very well done) \m/
*if you feel like seeing/hearing something so extraordinary that I'm not sure this could be improved upon = czcams.com/video/b5nRY4qa1C4/video.html
Good taste!!!! Love Ann Wilson’s Stairway to Heaven version. I’ve see her sing it live twice with her Ann Wilson of Heart band. She’s incredible! Also I’m a huge Trent Reznor fan and a Johnny Cash fan!!! I had tears when I first heard this. Still listen to that CD Cash released after June died.
May 2024 and am still listing to this amazing song! ❤❤
When I played Down with the Sickness for my 5 year old grandson I was amused when I turned and saw him saw him doing the classic head banger motion. He absolutely loves that song.
dragging out the vowel instead of the consonant is more of a "pop" sound IMO - also, it makes a warmer sound, bringing the song full circle
The song that got me into metal music was "Engel" by Rammstein. I was 8 years old. My mother still hates my brother for showing me that 😂😂
Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein!
Damn...fuck yes! "Engel" still gets me every fucking time! Same with "sonne" and I'm not a huge metal head and my best friend is sti introducing me XD
I love rock and metal because the music affects my body and the lyrics tend to reach a deeper part of me than other genres.
Glad you reacted to this song. I love it and it gives the lyrics more justice than the original.
Hail brother just stumbled across your channel on your Parasite eve reaction loving the content and got to say props on rocking the hammer and wolf arm band
When I was wrestling in elementary school, my dad turned me on to Disturbed - Ten Thousand Fists album, and Evanescence - Fallen album, and I've only gotten heavier from there. Still recall playing Metallica on the piano, in my highschool classical piano class. Definitely get some strange looks thrashing Master of Puppets on a grand piano. Now I'm teaching myself guitar, as well as metal vocals. I've got the False Chord technique down, still perfecting it, while also trying to navigate my muscles through learning the fry technique.

When did Zach Galifianakis get into reacting to metal songs? Kidding..
The first time I heard any sort of metal was actually Down With The Sickness in the back of my uncle's truck. From that moment forward; instantly fell in love. Now I try my best to mimic Ben Duerr's infamous sound, almost daily.
Hahah I get that all the time! And honestly, the resemblance is DEFINITELY there
1st " Metal" song, was a LITTLE pre-metal, but just the same laid the ground work for the rest of my LIFE!!! And it was AC/DC Hells Bells. I was 5 years old when I 1st heard it, and for my 6th birthday I saved my $ from my cards and the next time me and my Dad went to a place called Murphys Mart, I bought it! I'll never forget the look on my dad's face as he read through some of the names of the songs and he asked me, "are you sure you want THIS record?". Yes, Dad, I really like it!!! Changed my life. Love ya Dad, miss you, 2 years now. Thank you for letting me get that Record WITHOUT Mom seeing it!!!
my introduction to metal was Metallica... I was eased into it by listening to Nothing else matters and the Unforgiven I and II when I was about 9... Then one day I heard Enter Sandman and Whisky in a jar and from then on out I was hooked...
when he sang this live he actually had the flu and they did do a bit of processing which made him mad.
my buddy alec had metallica's live shit binge n purge. we watched that everyday after school. not a specific sound but metallica got me into harsh music. got into iced earth and dimmu borgir and now im resting in the periphery phase of the spectrum
Live Shit was soooooo good. Lots of good memories.
@@KardavoxAcademy oh yeah! it started everything for me
I thoroughly enjoyed vocal class with you Sir, and I am thankful I landed on this critique of David Draiman's mastery of the cover for Simon & Garfunkle's "Sound of Silence". I am just days from releasing my first vocal composition, at 55, amazed I'm doing this, but learning from you in just this one critique, will be put to use in about 30 minutes. Thank you
Superb reaction and review. Loved it!
When I heard Jonathan Davis making wild noises.
Metallica's black album was my first real exposure to metal. I didn't properly get into metal until a co-worker introduced me to Motorhead at age 16.
good glob the black album was so damn good. I listened to pretty much exclusively Metallica for a few years. Great memories.
Found your channel today and subscribed to it today and love disturbed version of sounds of silence ❤👍
My parents were 80s metalheads so I was born in 93 into a life of metal 🤘🏼
Almost every concert(dozens) has been with my parents, you can 100% catch me and my dad front of a pit headbanging or sneaking backstage to meet bands. We've made tons of connections with bands, my parents birthed me into a life of metal rolling around in our 69 chevelle blasting Metallica, maiden and such 🤘🏼
Still remember the first metal song that got me into the genre was the “Wait and Bleed” music video by Slipknot. Before that, I just assumed all heavy metal was distorted screaming. Then heard that and thought, damn, this dude can actually sing.
that's what all people unfamiliar with such music think)))) that it's just screaming. but it's not very far from opera or classical, because it is also such great art, beautiful voices and melodies.
You gotta do a breakdown of the infamous "Iowa" scream! I'd like to hear from a professional if it is as bad for you as everyone else always say.
I like the way you do your "reaction". Don't apologize for stopping and reacting. That's what we're here for! Too many people just listen sedately and give a brief opinion afterward.
Thanks for the kind words, dude. Glad you liked it!
Disturbed Prayer was my first when I was a kid. They have been my favorite band since
Just subbed one of the best reacts to this song I've seen, and I love coach and professional reactions. Please please please could you do a reaction to skunk anansie either of there tracks weep, weak or hedonism. The lead vocal is in my opinion one of the UK's best female vocals since and including Annie lennox. I've asked innumerous others and as yet no reaction :( I really do think you'll love it and have a lot to positively critique
Thanks for the kind words, Alan. Skunk Anansie is a great shout, and I bet Mark hasn't heard them before! - Alex
They did use some auto tune due to David being sick during this performance. He, BTW, didn't really like them doing that.
Yeah, you can actually see the dirty look he throws to the audio engineer when it's turned on. Then you can see him focus really hard, and I always imagine him thinking "screw that, I'm gonna sing so perfectly that it never activates again!" XD
LOVED your expression when David transitioned from scrachy to normal 'halls' part....shows how enthusiastic and dedicated you are to teaching...👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words!
You enjoy music more than a lot of people!! Your face shows it all !! Awesome videos !! Great explanations ! Fun to watch and learn 🤩, please dont shut up !!! 😂😂😂 , Hugs from Argentina
