Absolutely ! I think both versions give a different but yet powerful message! Visually in the Original video and more the instruments and his voice in both! David sounds amazing sick or not!
David draiman Was raised as an orthodox Jew. He went on to school to become a Cantor. In the Jewish faith the cantor sings back what the rabbi has just read from the torah in Hebrew. Cantors have very deep Rich Voices with many Tones. Canteors Often times have to hold low notes for a period Of time. It is really beautiful to hear even if you don't understand it Of what I don't But it is beautiful. I would Love for you to do a second reaction to the studio version. The Video Is like another member of the band. it really Adds Another layer to the song. And to see David take it From the opening being so mellow to the rage at the end of the video Is breathtaking. When Paul Simon heard David draiman sing sound of silence He said David was meant to sing sound of silence. Disturbed is a heavy metal band. You may have heard the opening of down with the sickness somewhere. Apparently there are a lot of memes with it. Inside the fire is a really great song. It does deal with the sensitive topic of suicide. When David was younger he came upon his girlfriend who had committed suicide.David Does a PSA At the beginning Discussing why this song is so personal to him. And the opening8 seconds Will just leave you With chills. They have also covered stings if I ever lose my faith in you. There is also a reason to fight
He also went to school to be a lawyer but decided not to because he didn't want to represent people that he knew was guilty and that's why he decided to go into heavy metal
This dude is mad talented and Disturbed is an incredible band. Tons of great tracks. I'd highly recommend checking out more, but they don't really sound like this does.
I have been listening to these reaction videos of this song for a couple hours straight, and each time I hear Disturbeds version of Sound of Music I get goose bumps head to toe, throughout the whole piece. NO song NO voice has ever affected me like this one does.
He was indeed sick on that day. i still prefer the Conan liove version over the studio video, although the video is amazing for its visuals - peace and love
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/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction TeeVee and your take on the performance. Try "Deceiver", "The Night", "The Game", "Indestructible", "Stupify", "The Light", "Enough", "Violence Fetish", "Stricken" by Disturbed too. They're a bit heavier than what you just heard....lol....umm....some a lot heavier...lol...
This is one of THE best covers ever. "Down With The Sickness" is maybe their best known original song and you've heard the hook in wrestling, etc I'm sure.
My interpretation of this song revised: This song is written with two separate people or consciousnesses singing it. Those that are waking up and those that have been awake for a very long time. The first, third and fifth verse is sung from the perspective of the unawakened and the second and forth verse are sung from the perspective of the awakened. Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence Hello, darkness, my old friend is about people that have been kept in the dark and they're telling the darkness that they are experiencing something new in their vision. They (the awakened/aware ones) planted the seeds of truth/Light, and they are just starting to become aware. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence There are fewer of the awakened, and they feel as if they are alone under the Light of truth, because they refused to by into the lies the dark has been trying to feed them. Then one day they saw a crack in the armor of dark, they saw a opportunity to break the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence And in that moment they saw all of the light workers/star seeds (awakened Ones) telling those that were still asleep the truth/Light, through telepathy those that were sleeping heard and saw the truth/Light in a very subtle way, but yet they couldn't share this Light/truths with anyone for fear of being attacked by those that controlled the sound of silence. They wrote the truth in songs, the truth had to be give covertly as not to disturb the sound of silence (the dark). And when the people became aware of the Light/truth and realized that they had been in darkness the whole time, it really pissed them off. "Fools," said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence They reached out to those still in slumber, trying to give them Light/truths, but they wouldn't open their minds to new truths, instead remained in the sound of silence. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence." The people were so caught up in working hard to pay for all of the things, the boats, cars, electronics, all of the toys that they covet. They couldn't see or hear the truth, they were too distracted by consumerism. The awakened/prophets have been trying to tell them through their songs and poems, and that whisper of Light/truth awakened the people from their slumber and they became ONE. Did you notice the ship sailing into the Light at the end of the studio version?
Paul Simon wrote this song in the 1960s. His lyrics were accurately prophetic! He and Art Garfunkel sang it beautifully then, and the 'little old lady' that is me now grew up in this golden era of great musical development - Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc. S&Gs version was always one of my number one favorites. But now this is my absolute fave track. Disturbed's arrangement is superb, and David's singing surpasses anything I have ever heard outside the classical genre.
Disturbed's earlier music is heavy metal, they branched out over the years. :) a song they did you should listen to, It's cover, a Phil Collins song called "land of confusion" It's awesome!
Really envious of you hearing this for the first time. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and this song has been on my playlist since digital music became a thing. This version has replaced that. Not only a great cover of a classic song, but possibly the finest cover of all time.
Just subscribed today... binge watched half a dozen reactions, LOL. Stopping for the evening with this one. It was one of my favorites songs growing up... the original by Simon & Garfunkel of course. This cover has given me chills from the first time I heard it.
Thanks to my 26 yr old, this was the first of Disturbed I heard. They are his favorite. Ohhhhh, the video is a must see!!!! I truly hope you have since been able to see the video for this. He was sick when this was done... his voice is actually better, more chilling at the right moments.
They are a heavy metal band. Big known song is Down with the Sickness. David (lead singer) is classically trained. This cover of Simon and Garfunkel is better than the original version by S&G. So much do that after seeing this live performance Paul Simon contacted David and said that he made the song his and that was an outstanding performance. So much do that Paul put the link to this version on his social media pages. Can’t get a better compliment than that!
this is their cover of a Simon and Garfunkle song, very contrasting to typical disturbed. This is probably one of the better done covers ive seen of any song
cool reaction video! just like Metallica performed 'Nothing Else Matters' on the album and also with an orchestra, some heavy metal/metal/hard rock/rock bands/singers have many dimensions to their musicality...Disturbed is showing the world that they can play with orchestras or on their own with style and musicianship at a really high level...Kudos to David Draiman for singing his tail off while being under the weather...I like this version better than the album version as his voice cuts through nicely (in my opinion).
Disturbed has been around since 1994. Listen to 10,000 fists. Classic Disturbed. The Simon and Garfunkel version was in the 60's. They sang it more or less as a warning. We are not communicating with each other, the neon god is reference to the TV. Disturbs version is more felt like why did you not listen to the warning. We have moved away from personal interaction. Listen to the Evolution Album. David and the group are doing more singing then the growling. No matter what they do, they are just amazing!
Listen to Down with The Sickness, Srupify. To hear a completely different side of DIsturbed, listen to "Hold on to Memories", that is a very emotional song. David Draiman has such a phenomenal voice.
He was so sick. But he was also PISSED that they through auto tune over him because they were worried about the performance. You can see him at 2:16 totally glancing at the sound guys.
Check out some songs like reason to fight, stupify, down with the sickness, the light, or some more covers like if I ever lose my faith in you, land of Confusion, man he has so many. Very wide range but also the songs and videos go a lot deeper than you'd expect
If you want to see/hear typical disturbed,you gotta react to prayer, indestructible, inside the fire (real graphic video, just warning ya) stupify, down with the sickness, stricken. David draiman is amazeballs, can sing anything 🤘🎸🔥🎶🤘🎸🔥🎶
This is a great version but David Draiman (the singer) was autotuned against his will and knowledge here. Not a lot, but it's there. When the Conan show found out he was sick with a fever of 102 and unable to stand (hence why he is seated the whole time), they decided to go ahead and autotune him. Understandably he was not happy when he found out later. If you want to hear an excellent one where he isn't autotuned and it's still live, I recommend the one where Myles Kennedy harmonizes with him on stage. They duet and become a beautiful 'Simon and Garfunkel' team. It's amazing.
"I haven't heard anything by disturbed unless it's in WWE" 😅 ever heard of a little-known guy by the name of Steve Austin and his classic entrance track glass shatters? 😉👍
And...he was sik. But pls before doing a reaction google it to see if It's a cover or an original song. Then, if you understand it's a cover, listen to the original so you can compare the versions. This one is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel. Stay safe and healthy Italy
Dude, you need to check out the original video and not the one on Conan. This is nothing compared to the original video. You’re really missing out if you don’t check it out!
Let us all PLEASE refrain from the overused and rehashed comments that have been posted THOUSANDS of times on the other reaction videos. It got old already.

he was sick when he performed on Conan. You should see the studio version of this, the visuals make it even more intense
100% the visuals of there vid hits different and he kills it every time sick or not but yeah he was sick at this point in time .
Absolutely ! I think both versions give a different but yet powerful message! Visually in the Original video and more the instruments and his voice in both! David sounds amazing sick or not!
I was gonna say the same thing Please watch the studio version
Disturbed is a metal band, which is why he is able to use that rasp/distortion on his vocal.
To see the other side of disturbed, try Down With The Sickness
David draiman Was raised as an orthodox Jew. He went on to school to become a Cantor. In the Jewish faith the cantor sings back what the rabbi has just read from the torah in Hebrew. Cantors have very deep Rich Voices with many Tones. Canteors Often times have to hold low notes for a period Of time. It is really beautiful to hear even if you don't understand it Of what I don't But it is beautiful. I would Love for you to do a second reaction to the studio version.

Disturbed is a heavy metal band. You may have heard the opening of down with the sickness somewhere. Apparently there are a lot of memes with it. Inside the fire is a really great song. It does deal with the sensitive topic of suicide. When David was younger he came upon his girlfriend who had committed suicide.David Does a PSA At the beginning Discussing why this song is so personal to him. And the opening8 seconds Will just leave you With chills. They have also covered stings if I ever lose my faith in you. There is also a reason to fight
He also went to school to be a lawyer but decided not to because he didn't want to represent people that he knew was guilty and that's why he decided to go into heavy metal
This dude is mad talented and Disturbed is an incredible band. Tons of great tracks. I'd highly recommend checking out more, but they don't really sound like this does.
I have been listening to these reaction videos of this song for a couple hours straight, and each time I hear Disturbeds version of Sound of Music I get goose bumps head to toe, throughout the whole piece. NO song NO voice has ever affected me like this one does.
Me too! During covid shut down I must have listened to over 100 reaction videos, can you say no life?
He was indeed sick on that day. i still prefer the Conan liove version over the studio video, although the video is amazing for its visuals - peace and love
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/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do and he makes it look so damn easy! He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before........just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! An awesome talent. Loved your reaction TeeVee and your take on the performance. Try "Deceiver", "The Night", "The Game", "Indestructible", "Stupify", "The Light", "Enough", "Violence Fetish", "Stricken" by Disturbed too. They're a bit heavier than what you just heard....lol....umm....some a lot heavier...lol...
The song “The Sound of Silence” is legendary. Great cover… 🙌🏽💯💜
Music video versions of “down with the sickness” , “stricken” and “inside the fire”
This is one of THE best covers ever.
"Down With The Sickness" is maybe their best known original song and you've heard the hook in wrestling, etc I'm sure.
Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
My interpretation of this song revised:
This song is written with two separate people or consciousnesses singing
it. Those that are waking up and those that have been awake for a very
long time. The first, third and fifth verse is sung from the perspective
of the unawakened and the second and forth verse are sung from the
perspective of the awakened.
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
Hello, darkness, my old friend is about people that have been kept in
the dark and they're telling the darkness that they are experiencing
something new in their vision. They (the awakened/aware ones) planted
the seeds of truth/Light, and they are just starting to become aware.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
There are fewer of the awakened, and they feel as if they are alone
under the Light of truth, because they refused to by into the lies the
dark has been trying to feed them. Then one day they saw a crack in
the armor of dark, they saw a opportunity to break the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
And in that moment they saw all of the light workers/star seeds
(awakened Ones) telling
those that were still asleep the truth/Light, through telepathy
those that were sleeping heard and saw the truth/Light in a very subtle
way,
but yet they couldn't share this Light/truths with anyone for fear of
being attacked
by those that controlled the sound of silence.
They wrote the truth in songs, the truth had to be give covertly as not
to disturb the sound of silence (the dark). And when the people became
aware of the
Light/truth and realized that they had been in darkness the whole time,
it really pissed them off.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
They reached out to those still in slumber, trying to give them
Light/truths, but they wouldn't open their minds to new truths, instead
remained in the sound of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
The people were so caught up in working hard to pay for all of the
things, the boats, cars, electronics, all of the toys that they covet.
They couldn't see or hear the truth, they were too distracted by
consumerism. The awakened/prophets have been trying to tell them through
their songs and poems, and that whisper of Light/truth awakened the
people from their slumber and they became ONE. Did you notice the ship
sailing into the Light at the end of the studio version?
They are normally very heavy metal. Listen to "Down With the Sickness" to get a feel for their typical sound. David Draiman is an amazing vocalist!
Paul Simon wrote this song in the 1960s. His lyrics were accurately prophetic!
He and Art Garfunkel sang it beautifully then, and the 'little old lady' that is me now grew up in this golden era of great musical development - Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc.

Simon and Garfunkel have said his cover of their song is their favorite. He has a highly trained voice with incredible range: it shows.
It is a metal/rock band. So they created this song in response to critics saying that rock musicians do not know how to sing.
Really envious of you hearing this for the first time. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and this song has been on my playlist since digital music became a thing. This version has replaced that. Not only a great cover of a classic song, but possibly the finest cover of all time.
Great reaction! I love PTX version of this song but Disturbed’s version will always be my favorite

You need to watch their video. It adds to the effectiveness of the singer and the song.
They are a heavy metal band.

Heart wrenching. So beautiful they are normally head bangers. You should listen to the 1960s original by Simon & Garfunkel. Very different.
Yo I thought you already checked out the PTX version.. if you didn't, it's a MUST!!
He was sick during this performance also I believe and still killed it
this is their cover of a Simon and Garfunkle song, very contrasting to typical disturbed. This is probably one of the better done covers ive seen of any song

Thank you Karen! Def checking it out, I appreciate you leaving this suggestion!
Listen to Down with The Sickness, Srupify. To hear a completely different side of DIsturbed, listen to "Hold on to Memories", that is a very emotional song. David Draiman has such a phenomenal voice.
Hold on to memories is another moving song from them.
Stricken , PRAYER Down with the Sickness (Official vid)and
The Light
Check out Prayer by Disturbed.
Try listening to Inside The Fire, The Light, If Ever I Lose My Faith In You, Hold On To Memories. And there’s so many more....Great Reaction !! ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Enjoyed ur reaction, they are a hard rock band, check out Stricken, the light and if I ever lose my faith in you, good mix of heavy and lighter music.
This is my favourite version of this song!
He was so sick. But he was also PISSED that they through auto tune over him because they were worried about the performance. You can see him at 2:16 totally glancing at the sound guys.
Check out some songs like reason to fight, stupify, down with the sickness, the light, or some more covers like if I ever lose my faith in you, land of Confusion, man he has so many. Very wide range but also the songs and videos go a lot deeper than you'd expect
This song and Father's eyes by Steps are the best cover versions ever in my opinion. Goosebumps!!! 👌🔥❤️
My favorite cover of this song. Listen to the original NY Simon & Garfunkel for contrast. You will be amazed how different this is to the original.
Now you need to react to the PTX version!!!
Check out Pentatonix cover of this song..
They are a heavy metal band
😍😍 Lovely xmas song too!
The duet version he did of this with myles Kennedy was amazing!
you have to watch the video, it adds a lot to the lyrics. the live is not the same.
If you want to see/hear typical disturbed,you gotta react to prayer, indestructible, inside the fire (real graphic video, just warning ya) stupify, down with the sickness, stricken. David draiman is amazeballs, can sing anything 🤘🎸🔥🎶🤘🎸🔥🎶
I like this guy's comments. He is fun.
This is my favorite cover song ever!
If you haven't already check out The Vengeful One.
I'm not into the metal type stuff but I found another Disturbed song that I absolutely love, it's beautiful... HOLD ON TO MEMORIES
You should watch the official video for SOUND OF SILENCE too. It's got a cool message
Studio version is better,...This man is amazing, glad you enjoyed it.
You gotta play the official video also!!!! He had the flu while performing in the live performance ❤️David Draiman/Disturbed heavy metal!
'Down with the sickness' to see the rock side of Disturbed x
They are a heavy metal band but David had professional training.
Now you need to react to the Pentatonix version of this song!
It's a Simon and Garfunkel cover. They are a rock band. One of the illest
They are very much a rock band, my guy just had legit pipes on him ❤🤘
My favorite tracks from disturbed are The Light, Stricken, Into the Fire, and Prayer.
This is a great version but David Draiman (the singer) was autotuned against his will and knowledge here. Not a lot, but it's there. When the Conan show found out he was sick with a fever of 102 and unable to stand (hence why he is seated the whole time), they decided to go ahead and autotune him.

They duet and become a beautiful 'Simon and Garfunkel' team. It's amazing.
He almost always sits for this song. Watch some of the live videos.
@@unknownrider3071 I have, but he also gets up near the end of it in the other live shows. He was too sick in this one to do that.
He was sick on this and was still on point, but you have to react to the official video. It gives you chills and is perfect
It's a metal band
Heavy Metal Band
Primarily metal, but also classical trained in the "deep arts" of music.
sounds like its time for Down With the Sickness
One of the greatest versions of the song. Check out PTX's version of it, you will love it knowing how you like their style and bass singer.
"I haven't heard anything by disturbed unless it's in WWE" 😅 ever heard of a little-known guy by the name of Steve Austin and his classic entrance track glass shatters? 😉👍
There it is! Haha
Heavy metal or hard rock is what they do
Rammstein. Did hast Paris live won't be disappointed
Try falling in reverse, popular monster
Great Disturbed TSOS reaction. It is a classic. The cover has been covered by a bunch of artists.
Typically they sing Metal.
you don't need to react to the video version, but you do yourself a dis service if you never see it.
Love this version. can you recommend a pair of headphones under 100$?
Depends on what youre gonna use them for bro
Would you please review Disturbed's "The Game"
I'd like to see you do Civil War by Guns n Roses
Down with the sickness. Next lol 🤘
Down With The Sickness 😁😁😁
he aint done yet,
Why do you put on a picture of the official video when that's not what you react to?
W@atch the original video
Pentatonix’s version is also really good!!
Its like the microphone cant carry the power of his voice.
Bro you should do a reaction to the new Jackass Forever trailer
And...he was sik. But pls before doing a reaction google it to see if It's a cover or an original song. Then, if you understand it's a cover, listen to the original so you can compare the versions. This one is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel.
Stay safe and healthy
Italy
This is a cover, very different from the original.
Dude, you need to check out the original video and not the one on Conan. This is nothing compared to the original video. You’re really missing out if you don’t check it out!
