David Draiman...a voice to die for. A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion and back on a dime. He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful tonal properties to it! An awesome talent and obvious training to deliver what he does!! Can sing like an angel or the devil ! Loved your reaction and your take on David's performance. Good job Birdman! Try "Deceiver", "The Night", "Indestructible", "Violence Fetish" and "The Light" by Disturbed too.
@@TheLoneWolf-wu8lp lol...well thank you, my friend. I appreciate that a lot. I try to be. My motto is "Be Kind...for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." I try to live my life like that. And yeah...I do usually stay pretty calm. Takes a lot to anger me..lol. But if someone messes with my family...that's my line. They'll see a new side of me.
I am so glad you know Simon and Garfunkel's original from 1964. I loved your reactions to this cover, I am a child of the 60's and S&G came out when I was in high school. this cover by Disturbed along with this video is the BEST it touches your soul and really gets S&G message to the core of my being goosebumps and chills and tears, for many others too. Neon God in the 60's television/movies... advances in technology... cell phones.... computers.... still TV
I saw DISTURBED in October of 2019 here in st.louis at chafitz arena. Home of st.louis billiken's. I can vouch that it is his voice. Because some people think it's not all him. And the live version on Conan O'Brien show also proves it's his voice. If you get the chance to see them live, I highly suggest it.
Great reaction. You did your homework prior to your video; and after seeing hundreds of reactions, it was cool to see one with the actual meaning explained in concession with the verses. Bravo. Liking and subscribing. ✌️🇺🇸
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate the kind words. I felt I needed to do this song justice, as it's absolutely amazing, so yes...I did my research. Thank you for the subscribe and the support. Much love to ya.
Nice reaction. There are many covers of this song, beautiful and technically perfect but in my view Disturbed 'is the best. The mix between Simon & Garfunkel's lyric, David's voice and the band's interpretation made something extraordinary and touching. Someone thinks this version is sad. Instead I feel it as a profound message and I find very hopeful the last scene in which the ship with the musicians reaches people without a voice. Music has always been a powerful means of communication.
Man, I love how much you get out of these songs. I’ve been trying to really understand this song since this version came out and you just made it make sense. I completely agree with you on 2 points. I really, really wish people knew how to actually listen and I also think that the Simon and Garfunkel version was way too lighthearted. This version is honestly one of my favorite songs to blare when I’m anger. David’s tone, the percussion and even some of the instrumentation can be really cathartic. Definitely going back to find some of your other disturbed reactions. For some reason I thought you’d already done this one. Glad I was wrong. Thanks for the amazing reaction as always brother. Much love.
Thank you so much as always for the kind words, and as always for the support you continue to give me. It means a lot. I appreciate it. :) Much love to you as well. :)
I agree with you completely my friend! As a millennial, it frustrates me so much that we aren't listening to or hearing each other. Everyone's told they can have an opinion but if it goes against someone else's it's considered wrong so those people are silenced and the sound of silence drones on. I'd absolutely love to see Dave Draiman and Geoff Castellucci collab
We are all guilty of this at some point. We have made a world too busy to take time and sit down and have a conversation with our family, neighbors, etc. Most people don't even know their neighbors names these days. I miss the days of my childhood, the days of front porch sitting conversations.
Such a beautiful song with such a powerful meaning,… but watching it while Birdman Reacts to it. Priceless. Phenomenal job My Friend. Keep them coming bud and stay safe.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Yeah...this song is absolutely phenomenal and blows me away every time I hear it. It's almost like hearing it for the first time every time. Much love to ya.
I totally agree. I heard the original version my whole life and never cared for it. Kinda laughed at Disturbed covering it. Then I heard it and saw the song totally different. Simon and Garfunkel was way too up beat for what they were saying.
I've grown up with Simon & Garfunkel's original, but only really listened to the lyrics when I've first heard the Disturbed's version. Great lyrics plus great (and right) voice equals masterpiece (IMO). Great and true reaction, loved it! 💗
Please Please please listen to Falling In Reverse Start off with the songs Popular Monster Then do I'm Not A Vampire from a decade ago then watch their Revamped version of the song. They recreated the song to a modern sound and its incredible You need to see the music videos for these. And also Ronnie Radke the singer watches youtubers reacting to his music on twitch so you might get a shoutout from the singer. Falling In Reverse is one of the best bands right now and Ronnie has the best vocal abilities of any singer today. Its epic
I agree with u! I read somewhere Paul Simon wrote this song after dreaming it back all those years ago. Not sure if it’s true. Scary how it matches today’s society. New Draiman fan 🔥🔥🔥
It's the one on one that is Lost! With the Cell phone and Texting, No one talks anymore. They just send Memes and don't get me started on the Internet. Paul Simon was way before his time and maybe saw this coming in 1964, And In 1964 it was a Warning, Davids's Version is Yell it out that People have not Heeded the WARNING!!!!
Yesssss man I've been waiting for this one for a while!! Being such a kind soul and being touched by music easily like I am I'd love to see your reaction to Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby
You should react to Pentatonix cover of this song, or any Pentatonix song really. You'll probably become a pentaholic, as we fans of that group affectionately call ourselves
DISTURBED has alot of great songs. Iam 63 years old. I thought the original version was BORING. I grew up in DETROIT and i was hearing music very early age. Simon and Garfunkel sang the song kind of folky. DAVID DRAIMAN SINGS IT WITH SO MUCH MORE FEELING AND MORE POWERFULLY THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION. I Have been listening to this band for a little over 3 and a half years now. And every month i hear something new that i like. Most people think that if your old than you can't like newer groups. Well i am anold hippie and I love all kinds of music. I am willing to at least try and see if i like it. People need to keep an open mind. You never know what you might be missing out on.
First I don't think you could find a music lover that doesn't get chills listening to this version. You also asked about people listening but not hearing? How many congressmen and senators do we have in DC?
I grew up hearing the original by S&G. It was...eh. ok? But like you, I didn't really like it. In my opinion, the song had such powerful words that were presented to us with soft, passive voices. I felt they did the song a disservice (yes, I know Simon wrote it...) they weren't the right voices for this song. NO ONE listened to the song, they heard it but didn't listen, because they lacked the power this song needed to get the point across. This song was made for David. His voice, his anger, his passion is what the song had been lacking for ... half a century. People are finally listening. So many reactions to this song and many (not all, but many) are actually pondering the meaning which is what is needed.
What you just said in this comment is EXACTLY my feelings on the subject. Voices were way too passive. What they were saying was factual back then...and now it's too late...Disturbed is the version we needed back then.
Awesome reaction to a great band... I stumbled upon a band called Liliac, they did a Joan Jett cover... I Hate muse for loving you... i Think you would enjoy it
Hey Birdman please keep my family in your prayers My wife has a lump growing on the back of her leg and the doctors said it's possible Ewing cancer we have appointments coming up for her! Thank you birdman love your video as always
Great song and such an Honest and Beautiful Reaction. Keep it up Buddy. Great Job. Stay safe. React to Ledger "My Arms and Not Dead Yet". Please and Thank You.
Please react to Disturbs official videos for Prayer, Stricken, Inside the Fire and Stupify!!! You won't be disappointed I promise!! Prayer is perfection! David is beyond amazing!!! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
I think I'm one of the few who prefer Simon and Garfunkel's. Lol. It is one of the songs at first that wasn't my most favorite. But after listening to it a few different times.
REaction follows action It seems like you were not listening You talked over this beautiful song, cutting it mid flow I'm all the wrong places just because you thought you were more important than the message itself. Worst most irritating reaction video I have seen and I have watched many
If you watched what I said you would have heard that I had heard the song, and was breaking things down. I know every line and note of this song. And if you would like to hear the song itself, feel free. I do what's called a reaction. Meaning when you have a reaction, you stop it and speak about it. That's a true reaction. If you don't like them, then don't watch. God Bless.

Ain't this guy like the calmest and most kind hearted bruh in the world?!?!?
Who's that? David or me? lol
@@BirdmansPlace You for sure!

Love him!
I always enjoyed Simon & Garfunkel's rendition but the first time I heard Disturbs rendition, I LOVED IT! It actually brings tears to my eyes!
David has a natural ability to draw us in, to feel what he feels and to see what he sees! We can't help but pay attention and to listen.
I am so glad you know Simon and Garfunkel's original from 1964.

You don't hear this song...you feel it with every fiber of your being.
I have heard somewhere that the original was a gentle warning....this version is the anger that the warning was ignored.
And the Pentatonix version is hopeful there is still time to change is a common sentiment.

It’s October 2021 and this song is truer today than when it was written!
Amen.

You need to check out his live concert on CONAN O’BRIAN
You must watch the one at Conan show

@@BirdmansPlace You’re very welcome My Friend. Yes,… every time I hear this song,.. it feels like the first time. Love the reactions.
@@dionicioadame4801 Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
The people on one side had the instruments, the other side had the songs they wrote. Waiting to be sung.
I really enjoyed your reaction to this video. You are spot on. I was 10 years old when this was released
Thank you for the kind words. Love this song...and they have the best version, in my opinion.
Yes and I cried like a baby when I first saw video. There I admit it.
I totally agree. I heard the original version my whole life and never cared for it. Kinda laughed at Disturbed covering it. Then I heard it and saw the song totally different. Simon and Garfunkel was way too up beat for what they were saying.

Best reaction to this yet!
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. Much love to ya.
I'm with you on the S&G version. It sounded like a kid's song. Once Paul Simon heard David's live version on Conan he said the song was now theirs.
I agree 100%. Disturbed just totally changed it. In a good way.
I feel this deep
Please Please please listen to Falling In Reverse
Start off with the songs Popular Monster
Then do
I'm Not A Vampire from a decade ago then watch their Revamped version of the song.

Awesome reaction to a great band... I stumbled upon a band called Liliac, they did a Joan Jett cover... I Hate muse for loving you... i Think you would enjoy it
Love to see it
Yas! Finally!!!!
Oh yeah...you had wanted me to do this one, didn't you?
Want to blow your mind?
Marcelito Pomay- the prayer
Oh I've already done that one..and yes..it did. You can find it on my channel. :)
@@BirdmansPlace thank you for responding back. I enjoy your channel. God Bless
Hey Birdman please keep my family in your prayers
My wife has a lump growing on the back of her leg and the doctors said it's possible Ewing cancer we have appointments coming up for her! Thank you birdman love your video as always
Best to you and your wife. I hope all is well.
@@psychokitty7268 thank you the lump got bigger and no doctor knows what it is even with all the test it shows nothing
React to the live version in conan if you haven't yet.
React to Darryl Worley's Have You Forgotten
Great song and such an Honest and Beautiful Reaction. Keep it up Buddy. Great Job. Stay safe. React to Ledger "My Arms and Not Dead Yet". Please and Thank You.
You might try the Pentatonix version of Sounds of Silence.
Have you ever heard dear Mr Jesus by powersource
Please react to Disturbs official videos for Prayer, Stricken, Inside the Fire and Stupify!!! You won't be disappointed I promise!! Prayer is perfection! David is beyond amazing!!! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
I think I'm one of the few who prefer Simon and Garfunkel's. Lol. It is one of the songs at first that wasn't my most favorite. But after listening to it a few different times.
Get ready for a religious experience. It's a thing of beauty! Moves me to my very soul!
I really wish that you got to hear the version on Conan, believe it or not, his vocals were much better live
Is there anyway you vould react to Coming Down by Five Finger Death Punch? The song has a great meaning
And some people say the Pentatonix version is hopeful that there is still time to change things is what I've heard.
I never liked or could finish other versions of this song because the words didn’t match the music.
Upchurch "Holler Boys" or Upchurch "Dirty South"
REaction follows action
It seems like you were not listening
You talked over this beautiful song, cutting it mid flow I'm all the wrong places just because you thought you were more important than the message itself. Worst most irritating reaction video I have seen and I have watched many
If you watched what I said you would have heard that I had heard the song, and was breaking things down. I know every line and note of this song. And if you would like to hear the song itself, feel free. I do what's called a reaction. Meaning when you have a reaction, you stop it and speak about it. That's a true reaction. If you don't like them, then don't watch. God Bless.
