“I want to motivate and inspire others to follow their dreams…corny? Well, maybe but it’s true. So what’s motivating me?? I had a huge tumour removed summer 2016. However, despite not being able to walk for a few weeks, and feeling generally awful…. It has made me create and do what I love! It wasn’t an easy time but I won’t let fear dictate my life. I didn’t think ‘why me’, there are plenty of horrific issues people have to deal with…it’s not always smooth sailing. It’s true when you hear, ‘Life is short’, the crazy thing is, I am glad it happened…I appreciate life even more and try to practice gratitude everyday…It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things…and I do sometimes, but look at the bigger picture, will it matter in a year or two…we are all specks of dust…Also, thank you for all your support. It means a lot. I have suffered from anxiety from the past and self-confidence, (yeah hard to see now right) didn’t think I was ‘good, or worthy enough’ but I feel I have a new lease of life, don’t really care as much and want to show you guys what I have! : ) You are all awesome and without you, there would be no channel. - Hudba

....
If you insist?
Im an asshole.. and this guy sucks.
Lol. Well played.
Below
New people: this guy is great. such a calming voice. *googles Disturbed* "oooooooh wah ah ah ah!"
Exactly 😂😂😂
Totally 🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES haha
Wouldnt describe him in this performance as having a "calming voice"😂
Lol
" it feel likes he's a heavy metal"...oh dear, if you only knew...
awww honey LOL
@Wes Takahashi you dont think she googled him? ofc she knew. its an act
Rebecca: He has a heavy metal voice.
Me: spitting Coca Cola from my nose laughing.
I love you Rebecca. So adorable and innocent lol
Oh wah ah ah ah
@@dougmcguire9809 It's not being self absorbed, you asshole. She likes to have an objective view of the vocalists, so she does not investigate them until after. Heavy Metal isn't her type of music, so she doesn't know a lot about these types of bands. I know who Justin Bieber is, but I could not tell you the name of one of his songs, or how good a singer he is. It's not like Disturbed gets the kind of advertising outside of metal channels that someone like Justin Bieber gets, so, if you're not into metal, it's very easy to know nothing about the bands.
Paul Simon himself actually praised the song. He even called David Draeman after the live performance to congratulate him. Paul said the Simon and Garfunkel version was the whisper of a warning. Paul then said that Disturbed’s version was the anger that the warning was not heeded
BET
That's a really awesome piece of information
best comment
That's beautiful
He emailed him, not called. David did sit down and talk with him awhile before he had heard it though. Also there is no evidence Paul Simon actually said that.
Don’t forget, he is actually a classically trained Opera singer. He just happens to be in a metal band. He’s amazing.
He’s just amazing. Disturbed forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Julie Goodrich i was gonna say, that's where that closed off almost nasally sound on "might reach you" comes from and why some people think they hear autotune in this performance
@Julie Goodrich Close enough, stfu sloot.
@@umphreak9999 well, specifically in this performance he did use it, but ONLY because he had a cold. If he isn't sick, he doesn't use it at all, ever. He still needed to be convinced for this performance
The best metal singers have roots in classical/opera 👍🏻 Take Bruce Dickinson as an example. Come to think of it, metal in general has classical roots and influences. Great music is great music, and timeless. Not that I'm in to classical much, unless it is in its electronic form, but I guess that is musical evolution.
Doctor: can you cough for me?
Patient: oooooh wah ah ah ah
Doctor: it seems you have come down with the sickness.
You win the internet - congrats!
Best comment ever
😂🤣
lmfao
Completely underrated comment
Had this song played at my wifes funeral last September. She absolutely loved this. Every time I hear it it brings a lump to my throat, and a tear to my eye. Beautiful 😢❤️
god bless you, stay strong
My Condolences and Prayers for you 🙏..
May your Wife rest in Peace !!
So sorry mate ❤️
Am so sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences.
Simon And Garfunkle : A warning.
Disturbed : A call to arms because the warning was ignored.
Paul Simon has actually said that this is his favorite cover of his song.
its the greatest cover of this song hands down its not even close its better then the original
You are welcome to your opinion with regard to this song. I think that it is an excellent cover that updates the original for the new, younger audience. Not better than the original and not worse, just different.
@@LeeCarlson I'd argue it's how the song was meant to be sung. I think Simon actually has been quoted as saying as such. It's definitely ok to enjoy the original more, though the message is far more effective in this version.
Also, you're the first person in thousands of comments who says the original is better, even comments from older folks who grew up on the song (like my parents).
@@Real28 everybody is welcome to their own opinions.
Paul Simon referred to this performance as Garfunkel’s best ever.
Did you notice how he can change his voice from clean to growl and back to clean without even a pause. I think that's amazing
@Az Lean sadly no, but from what i hear he is more amazing at live performance than recording.
If she noticed, that she did not, she would have mentioned it. But she is a vocal coach ya know
@@craigrobertson5030 maybe she find it doesn't necessary to mention, but i find it fascinating bro. I've seen my cousin taking vocal lesson and he always have a little coughs before switching voices. To me this is just proved how talented and skilled david draiman is, sorry for bad english :)
@@craigrobertson5030 she did, she referred to it as his "metal voice"
Anouk one of the Netherlands top singers, has this ability. She can also flawlessly switch from Alto to Soprano (perhaps she's a Mezzo-soprano ?)
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters is another singer able to switch voices. I think it's a combination of vocal training and just being wired that way.
Paul Simon was quite pleased with this cover and contacted David Draiman to tell him so. And that raspy growl is well known to Disturbed fans.
I didn't know that.... what a great thing.
When I first heard this I didn’t even know it was DD until that part. Then I was like “holy SHIT that’s Disturbded”
@@jdb3160 When he puts that growl in, you know its him. No one else sounds quite like it. :) Disturbed was my favorite band for a long time, still love them.
I didn't know that! That's the best thing I've heard today!
JD B ....same. first time I was floored. no fricking way. = )
Why am i watching a vocal coach talking about other singers?
I dont even sing....
95% of the famous artists today too... but with a little computer everybody can it... or you think, that grande, gaga, swift, cyrus and all the other novoicebitches could really sing...?
Vocal coach is not a real profession.
@@stevanoutdoor either is wearing a cowboy hat and making stupid comments
@@isMike999 So where's the vocal coach university?
@@stevanoutdoor I think next to the plumbers university and right down the street from the carpenters university.....
I'm watching some of your older reactions and this is one of my personal favorites. The singer David Draiman of Disturbed shocked many with this cover. Hell he shocked me and that is NOT easy to do. I get shivers every single time I listen to it. And yes, his voice is INCREDIBLY sexy. When he sings the line "to the neon god they made" with such force and passion my body physically reacts. I may be biased as I love Disturbed but I feel that no one walking this earth could cover this masterpiece better than them.
So many reaction videos this is their first time hearing Disturbed and then they go find "Down With the Sickness" or the like and are shocked (or horrified, idk lol). But when I heard him singing like this, all operatic and ballady, had to pick my jaw up the floor. Still get chills every time.
My personal feelings are that the original recording of the song by Simon and Garfunkel was a cry for help for humanity and Disturbed's version is an angry cry because we are failing or have failed to listen and respond to it the the first time.
We can cry as loud as we can, unfortunately no one can hear us or just few can. Things did not change since 50 years ago, or 100 years ago. We are all in this cruel world and the world is not getting better. I was born in 60's and raise in 70's and 80's and the music have always been a cry for help, love, passion and understanding.Rare people can understand what this song is all about, and keep trying to put it some special genre. But this song is not in any special genre it is just a masterpiece that time cannot harm and move. Also older generations are now old enough to understand and share the meaning of the words, newer generations simply go for the rhythm not many can understand lyrics that have deeper meaning. Original song sounds like a fine wine, this version however is more angry, realistic and sad at the same time. Where have we been and what we have changed.......noting, we just get more angry!
@@spacejockey4746 First of all i am not that young as you think i am 53 years old and i as well lived back in the 70's. Saying that original is subtle i will agree, but the world have been changed since than. And it changed for the worst not for the better. Also the words in this song are strong and very meaningful for the all that are searching for the truth. Also i never said that original song is bad it was just a different era when it was written and sang,. Different times brings different sound, how days we need to shout as loud as we can so that someone can hear us, back in the sixties it was enough to almost whisper but even then no one who is in the power is listening.
@@spacejockey4746 Idk what "production" you're talking about on a live version of a song but ok.
Powerful interpretation
Well said Sir
Simon and Garfunkel left you desolate. This version adds rage to the desolation.
S&G left you melancholy but hopeful, this one is just depressing.
@@NefariousPorpoise I really like it. I was thinking of the words.
We didn't listen.
Paul Simon himself said Disturbed version gave him goosebumps. And he loved it.
And gayness
Best cover around. I grew up listening to Disturbed, David is actually a VERY kind person despite most of what his music sounds like. I saw Disturbed live on my birthday last year. He spoke after this song about all of the people going through tough times. Those who feel suicidal, that there's always hope and someone out there to help. He mentioned how his misses one if his great friends Chester (Lead singer of Lincoln Park who sadly ended his life). I'll go a Disturbed concert any time they come to town from this point forward. So please don't judge this man by the way he looks, he's actually a VERY humble person.
This, Johnny Cash doing Hurt, and Whitney doing I Will Always Love You are, for me, the Big 3 of cover songs. Everyone else can only aspire to them. They took songs that were already good, and made them absolutely legendary.
Dude I talked to this guy at the airport about bullshit for 30 minutes on my lunch and didn't know who he was until I got back to work and my coworkers were saying he was there so I googled him lol.
He seems like he would be really cool to talk to even with the more intense music they make
I can believe it, he seems a lovely sincere guy. He and his band are very misunderstood
This is the saddest thing I've read in awhile. Such a shame.
blablablubb... i spoke yesterday to god and didnt know who he was... he said to me: humans are only the most worst idea of the evolution ever... and deserve to get washed away from the earth... nothing else...
You spoke to a LEGEND! You lucky dog!
I am a 48 year old firefighter seen too many terrible sights. When I hear this song I love it and it rips my heart out all at the same time. She is correct one of the best songs ever written.
There is a video out there of the Wauldbaum Fire in the late 70s were many of our FDNY brothers were killed, they made a video with the original version of S&G Sound of Silence.
Brothers!
Amen 🙏 please stay safe and god bless you all out there helping others - seriously
Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for what you do. My dad put in 40 years. It takes a brave person..
"It's like a metal, a Heavy Metal voice coming through" - god, this was cute, in all honesty.
💓
Here i’ll fix it: “Its like opera, He has a nice opera voice coming through.” Lol
@@rva you shoud check one of the other Disturbed songs, 1000 Fists f.e. you wont belive its the same guy ;)
@@dickesMomo YES PLZ THIS, MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I wanna know how she'll react if she hasn't heard it already
Understatement of the year.
4:30 that was the most genuine "shit." I've ever heard
Music Lovers: Simon and Garfunkels Sound of Silence could NEVER be redone.
Disturbed: Hold my beer.
Every time I have seen Disturbed perform this, I get emotional. David Draiman can SING
@@leilei5693 i totally agree with you
Horrific.
Hold my beer such a dumb stupid saying. And u think it's funny. Just plain goofy.
Killed It‼️
After hearing the Disturbed version, Paul Simon, one of original cowriters, stated "it's no longer my song"
Similarly, Bob Dylan, after hearing Jimi Hendrix sing "All Along the Watchtower" said, "That's his song now."
You are mixing up Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.
That is what NiN said about Johnny cash.
I'm sure they where compensated as weel
@@MrUpphew Actually, all three examples are true. It seems to be a common sentiment when an artist hears someone else perform their song in a way that impresses them beyond their own interpretation.
This guy makes people cry hes that good
If you say so,
Also the memories of that era.
ummm we have heard the rest of his songs so .... nope. Yes he's talented but come on....
Cry with laughter?
This one brings tears everytime
I remember when I heard the disturbed version of sound of silence, I was driving home from work and I had to pull over, I had to cry and smile at the same time. I never heard something so beautiful before
I was on vacation abroad and i also had to stop my car to listen to this song. Very strange hearing disturbed on mainstream radio. Amazing cover
Omg i saw the video 30 mins after it was posted and i was at home crying my eyes out with sourround sound.
Disturbed's version of this song is so strong... so imminent and fraught with warning... so dire for action and yet so sad and what could be with failure to heed the warnings... S&G's original was almost like "reading" a history book and the emotion conveyed was "Oh well...". Yes. As a gen X guy, and a Marine of the 90's, THIS is the version I feel in my soul. THIS is the version it always should have been.
His voice with this song gives me chills. I love it so much omg.
"His voice with this song gives me chills"
It gives my the runs.
Always get chills with his version
I think this song transcends generations. The older generation likes the melodic version but they younger folks relate to the raw power of his voice. This is what makes music great. Even if you dont enjoy this version you have to at least respect the power in his voice.
I like the original version, but I love and prefer this version bt Disturbed...
I have to disagree on that. I'm 61 and grew up with the original Simon and Garfunkel Song. This version is unbelievable and strike such a chord in my heart that I did not feel with the original song. This singer is magnificent and this cover is absolutely amazing. I never heard of the band Disturbed but now that I know I cannot stop listening to the song. Great job and the best cover ever!!!!!!!!!
Len Rog5 I’m from the old generation 70. I like this version the best!!
@S J yep someone has to appoint this
My gramps loves this version.
I saw this performed live and it was probably the single best song I've ever heard sung. I've seen hundreds of concerts, even met David, by far the best performance I've ever witnessed. This man is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.
"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
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"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
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"
Written in the early 60's. But does this song not perfectly describe the world we've built since then? A world in which no one talks to anyone, a world in which people barely know even their closest neighbours, a world in which every pair of eyes is looking down and engaged only with one electronic device or another. A world in which social media dominates and which people are talking without speaking, listening without hearing. We think we're free, we're not, we're all imprisoned within our own walls of silence! I don't suppose for a minute that Paul Simon was writing it as a commentary on anything he saw coming, but it certainly has become a very apt metaphor.
Well said
SMS?
@@gordonpeden6234 It says Simon and Garfunkel. Tom & Jerry is the compilation known since very longtime ago and Hanna-Barbera cartoon says "are we a joke to you". Whatever they says.
The lead singer (David Draiman) is classically trained. There's a video of him explaining the process of choosing the video and what when into making that cover. Was pretty interesting you should check it out.
When Simon and Garfunkle recorded this, it was like a whispered warning. When Disturbed recorded it, it was the rage of knowing the warning not being heeded.
The words were prophetic when it was written. They are now the words of stark reality. We now bow to the Gods of electronics and the silence is deafening.
Never thought of it ike that, love the idea as its suits the cover so much
I agree w You. The Neon gods we make etc. People wake UP. .
People wake up. Listen to the words!
Well said.
We may never find the true originator of this comment. It is all over the place. Some people even say it’s their “personal opinion.” It’s hilarious. Nothing but pirates.
What we're basically discussing is his general vibrato ....He's a natural, it's not forced; at any octave.
He actually could have gone bigger. He delivered that strong a performance while in the midst of a bout of the flu.
Excuse me? He was sick during this? That's it, I'm not speaking ever again 🤣
@@knxcholx yes. We was... Down With the Sickness
@@Romanowski129 noice
Facts!
yes heard he also had a ACL tear and broken neck but still did it wow
Your reaction to him cutting loose (around 4:15) is just a joy to watch. I'm fond of the singer and right here is a great reminder, when you combine a good vocalist with a good song.
Bara Robber Baron I went back to that about four times as I watched this. 😂 Her reaction was awesome at several points in the song. And her motioning for the drum in time, and her almost sort of proud fond grin. Love her!
I've heard this version a thousand times, and I still get chills every time it plays.
Having seen Disturbed live in Sheffield, they did this and it was breathtaking.
No, YOU'RE breathtaking!
When the composer of this song says this is his favorite version i'd say you nailed it!! That's like the highest form of compliment one could ever get!!
That song by Disturbed gives me chills to hear it. I thought the original was strong, and it was for its time, but this.........wow.
The music video for this song is absolutely beautiful.
4:51 onwards “and whispered, in the sound, of silence”. Wow that gave me chills. So ethereal and melodic. And that final note! Love love love!
This version gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. The last time he sings the word “sound” and it echos through you is pure perfection in arrangement. His voice and emotion could easily make you cry. Hats off to Disturbed for this take on a classic beautiful song!
I have both these versions but I find myself listening the Disturbed a lot more. Oh my, I cried the moment he started singing. Thank you for this.
Peter Hollens and Tim Foust from Home Free has done an A Cappella version of this and it's really good also. I love listening to both those men when they come together and collaborate. You should check them out. They've done many songs together.
Disturbed's arrangement captures the sombre tone of the song far better than the original.
Disturbed sang it much better. Sometimes the original isn't always the best.
My son likes disturbed so got the cd with this song on it but now its my cd, totally awesome version of the song that gjves me chills up my spine and makes my hair stand on end, brilliant
I like the live version with him and Myles Kennedy!
I saw Disturbed live, and I was blown away by incredible David was live, if possible, better than their recordings.
I've heard this about his voice.
In 2015 when Disturbed finally got back together they were part of the line up that year to Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville Fla. I've always been amazed at his recordings since being a kid. Hearing David Draiman sing all his old songs and the. Ewer ones including sound of silence it's brings you to a whole new appreciation. The whole band is fantastic and Mike the bass gutatist can sing too but obviously they know David is just the best. Even his heavier songs like stupify at the end holding his note saying "darling don't you be afraaaaaaaaaaaid" just insane in person.
@@bumiboka They just released a new album Evolution not long ago a d are planning a world tour again starting in Germany in 2019. I know it's after April because that's when they will be back at Welcome to Rockville. Look into it you won't be disappointed
Yes!! I’ve seen well over 100 live shows in all genres, and Disturbed was by far THE best. Just amazing. Every song was better than the album version. Amazing.
@@bumiboka they had a europe tour in 2017 with avenged sevenfold, saw them in Vienna, amazing both of them
Oh my god, she is such an artist. Jumping between thoughtsand emotions. I love her.
I love this cover by David Draiman of Disturbed, I also love watching voice coaches listening to this song, the expressions on their faces just goes to show this is something special. I drive my family nuts sometimes, as I just have this on repeat and happily play it five or six times out loud, it just empowers me for the next few hours and very very few songs do that for me.
Hey this is the 75 year old grandma, He was opera trained, so has great voice control. The S&G Version was written in as a folk song type protest song, as were most protest songs of the day, Such as Where have all the Flowers gone, and many more, were written in a passive aggressive music movement. Disturbed sang it to today's type of protest song would be, in your face and very aggressive. I love both versions but prefer the Disturbed best.
Very well said grandma, well said. ✌🏽✌🏽😊😊
Good health to you and your family
Hell yeah, you go grandma!
Love that you're in your 70s and like Disturbs version of this 😁
Im almost 50 and this isnt really my kind of music, but i really love several of Disturbs songs.
" The Light " is one of my favorites. If you get the chance, you should look it up.
In fact, here it is, enjoy.

@@justincase1919 Thank you so much, yes I did like that the music was great and the message even greater. I really am some what of a metal freak lol, also have played all the Final Fantasay games through 12, after that they changed the fighting and I had trouble with it, not as quick as I used to be. Thanks again.I am also a fan of Breaking Benjamin.
I was SO scared when I saw it have been covered, but WOW. I listen to this once a day...my battle cry 👌🏽
Not Witty Mc WittyFace I guess you meant to say you was so "disturbed" to hear this song was covered! But you have to admit, both versions are awesome!!
This is one of my favorite Disturbed cover songs. David Draiman has such a magical voice. That has the power to draw your attention and take you on a journey.
I never thought Sound of Silence as operatic, but this rendition changes it from a moody atmospheric piece to an impassioned aria.
S and G: the warning
D: the judgement
It’s like an anthem
He and Myles Kennedy sang this song together live, wonderful.
Yes, it is absolutely sublime!
This man is a literal legend. Not a DROP OF DOCTORING IN ANY SENSE OF THE WORD. NO AUTOTUNE. NOTHING. JUST HIS VOICE. WHAT A VOCALIST.
There is actually a bit of autotune
@@robinv1482 it's not autotune. It's something else, but i forget what it's called.
@@EterPuralis she cut the autotune part out of this vid btw ;)
@@robinv1482 Wat, why
@@EterPuralis well she doesnt show the whole vid if you look carefully. A lot of cutting and skipping..
I seen a review by another vocal coach and she said he used autotuned and focused on his lip piercing. She clearly had no idea what she is talking about. she completely missed the songs overwhelming power of emotions because she was trying to find bs to talk about.
You! You didn't miss the power in this song or his voice. Thank you for truly listening to it. 💜🧚♀️
Ok whoever said this is auto tuned is stupid, auto tune nowadays means playing the song and fake singing, this is not fake I can tell... I've been in band, not orchestra but I still know they're playing all those instruments live and not faking it... It's easy to air, which isn't really playing btw, but it's not easy to fake playing a instrument. He's holding those mallets right and playing the Timpini right
It actually was autotuned in some parts against David's will, he was pissed when he found out
It was autotune in a few parts. The original recording isnt auto tuned but they did for this performance.
@@lunamiddleton2662 It was really autotuned, David even said it himself. And he also said that it was not his choice, it was the choice of the producers of that TV show. He, of course, usually does not use autotune, and he doesn't even like autotune
I am the Walking Dead who ever said that is a freaking idiot his voice is so powerful, that videos and songs played on the radio do him no justice!! They are amazing live!!
I've listened to this so many times, and I still get chills every time. The whole arrangement is clearly so well thought out, both the orchestration and his vocals (which are just masterful).
I absolutely loved the resonance of his voice, which was grounding, in all that space of lonely silence setting. He opened with a deep voice, carried it monotonously, as this lonely silence is monotonous, and downs you. But then! He broke open, at the word "flash", -just like a flash of light breaks darkness, his vocal opened, and made SPACE. So masterful! Singing, "You do not know" carried so much pleading outcry, and something of a master teaching, as he held the tone strongly, assertively. Progressively, he broke out from the darkness by switching to a higher voice, like wings, like an observer out of body, high above, observing himself below - so beautiful! Unreal! Then came his raspy voice, switching to metal voice, which expressed the ANGER, the DEFIANCE, and the UPRISING, THE FIGHT against the lonely silence. it was masterful! And he waved his fist, the determination, the conviction, expressing a STANDOFF, energy, elan! -The ANGRY FIGHT, and the metal voice was the best to express this with. - He ended the song with slumping downward again, folding back into the darkness, with his last word sung "silence", softly, defeated, but his vibrato expressed the silence reverberating. I was speechless. And found myself holding a fist.
This is such a beautiful, insightful analysis. Thank you for writing this, it really touched me
Not many song hit me like this version has. Unbelievable tone and power to his voice, one of my all time favourite versions EVER
I've watched about 6 different reaction videos to this performance and I get chills everytime. What they did to this song is nothing short of amazing
Makes my hair stand up everytime I hear it.. even 5 times in a row still get the shivers... That performance is magnificent
Incredible reaction....my God he nailed the vocals so perfectly... hits my heart every time I hear it! Thanks for your reaction!
This version of Sound of Silence is like Johnny Cash's version of Hurt (in that is is brilliant but stands ENTIRELY separate from the original somehow).
edit: Or Regina Spektor's version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the Kubo soundtrack, that is EXCESSIVE.
Agree
It's weird that you mention both this and Johnny Cash Hurt, because these are the only 2 songs where I like the cover as much as or more than the original. They bring so much more emotion and power to the songs than the original writers. I don't wish to detract from the original bands, because they made amazing music, but the covers are somehow more impactful.
@@reliantncc1864 I agree 110% 2 more songs u can add to that list In this moment covering In the air tonight (GOOSEBUMPS) Shinedown covering Simple man check em out ASAP. My darkest day with Come undone you should try out as well
Or Jeff Healey band did an awesome job of while my guitar gently weeps too good they didn't ruin the originals
I'd have to agree. Another song that to me belongs in the same category is the Bad Wolves cover of "Zombie" by The Cranberries.
This singer has the most range out of any other band out there I cry every time I here this cover
You’re way off on that observation, but he is a fantastic singer! Look up Devin Townsend.
One of the reasons why I also like David Draiman as a performer is because of the versatility of his voice.
Since David is the singer for a Metal band,yes,he does have that growl in his voice.It's a choice on his part to use it here in this performance.
Yeah, it's his signature distortion :)
Now Google Down with the sickness.....would love to see your reaction to that one lol.

I first heard Sound of Silence when I was 8 and was hooked to Simon and Garfunkel,,,played and sang it myself as a busker,then I heard Disturbeds version...and it brought me to tears...the Shear Strength,Power,Beauty...it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it!!!
This version of this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Stunning.
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken! I think you'll like the vocals
+Modnar621 OMG yes! The concert where Nightwish officially introduced Floor as their new lead vocalist...and in Ghost Love Score she had 100K people eating out of her hands. It's soooo damn beautiful and POWERFUL!!!! Rebecca, you *have* to review & react to it. Trust us, you'll love it!
YES
I second this notion.
My god yes.
Nightwish, Floor Jansen, perfection.
Wacken is good but Buenos Aires 2012 is better.
I like watching reactions to this song, you can always see the moment when your soul is touched..
He has a voice that is demanding it makes you wanna listen to him and then when he hits those angry notes it just really takes you win he has a beautiful voice. I’m so glad I have found him I listen to him almost every night I just love the way he sounds. God bless him and the rest of the family.
this song got nominated for Grammy but David Bowie won it posthumously for the last song he ever recorded RIP David Bowie .. I truly believe that this song will go down in history as the best version of the song ... the studio version is more of a cleaner less raw cover but still able to knock our socks off so to speak ... I will see you next time
It definitely ranks on the list of all-time greatest covers, right up there with (for me) Cash's 'Hurt' and Hendrix's 'All Along the Watchtower'.
Well that fucking sucks. Got a Grammy yanked from him because of a dead guy. I don't care if the dead guy was a legend or whatever they think he was. He's dead. Let's try honoring musical talent being done now by live people, not posthumously to people who aren't even around to get it. Jeez.
The moment he opened his voice such chills I nearly dropped my glass of wine 🍷....never heard this live before.... then I stated vocalizing when you did....on Pitch too woot!!!
Chills every time I watch this performance. I don't always get them when I hear this version on my playlist but something about seeing him absolutely crush this song gives me the chills. It's amazing they were able to do redo this iconic song and somehow make it even better.
This popped up in my recommended years down the line here for some reason, but it's reminded me of another song I'd LOVE to see you react to. Much like S&G's Sound of Silence was considered one of those "untouchable" songs untill Disturbed covered it, Mastodon did a cover of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven (arguably the most untouchable song of all time) and actually KILLED it. A must listen. Stellar vocals from Brann (the drummer) of all people, and a composition and tone that is somehow both distinctly Mastodon AND Zeppelin. Amazing, really.
Thank you for sharing this! I love it!
"I have to pause this, or I'll cry"
So?
Cry!
There is nothing wrong with emotional release when it is warranted.
The song gives me goosebumps all over, and I relish each and every one of them.
Disturbed made an amazing cover of a great song.
One of many great covers, most of songs about society, like Land of Confusion
If you want to hear him “scream” listen to Down with the Sickness 😉 Ohh Wa ah ah ah!!! 😆😆😆
Yeah, baby.
Love. That. Song.
Oh hell yah! In that song he uses about 90% of his vocals
I prefer 10.000 fists, but yeah!!!!!
BlackMoridin I love that one too. My favorite is Sound of Silence, but I am quite partial to Prayer! My favorite video is Voices!
@@amberelliott-hassell3343 I like you more and more :D
You can physically feel that song. The emotion hits you right in the chest.
I love watching your reviews of each song! It really brings out awareness to the songs. I am not a singer, I just stumbled on your reviews & am drawn in by your personality & character! Love it!
I was hoping you would do this one. It gives me goosebumps every time. Thanks
I keep listening over and over again. I'm at a loss for words.
I've been a fan of David and Disturbed since the 90s. I've seen them live and they are fantastic. A true artist that will excell outside his genre, everytime. Got his Rock on at the end too.. Remembering his roots. Greeeaaaat RVA review, powerful song!
This performance is jaw-dropping.!
I could tell you were trying very hard not to cry. Completely blown away...
Simon and Garfunkel are fkn legendary 😭 a lot of people hated this cover but i was honestly down with it
Hoseok's Fannypack I think all the people who hated it was the rock/ heavy metal fans of disturbed seeing how they are a heavy metal band not this type of genre
down with the sickness huh
Well, Paul Simon himself sent David an email expressing his satisfaction with this very performance. I'm with Paul.
Disturbed did their own interpretation of it which makes it beautiful in it own way that's different than simon and garfunkel's original. The original will always be legendary but this is by far the only cover of this song that I haven't gotten sick of or hated outright.
My son tried to get me to listen to this for WEEKS before I finally relented and listened. It's better than the original. The original was happy and up-beat. Disturbed turned it into a dirge, which is what it should have been in the first place.
I'm so glad you did this. I love this cover so much.
Please react to "Female Metal Singers: Expectation vs Reality (Studio vs Live)". I would love to hear your thoughts on these female metal singers.
I love how it builds and then his Disturbed voice starts peeking through a bit here and there.... and then it just busts out.
This version by Disturbed gets me every time. It's like someone punches me in the gut. Tears start dripping and I can't stop it. This video is also my favorite with you Rebecca. It's perfect.
David Draiman is a wizard, Best Metal/Hard Rock vocalist of my generation ♥️🔥
I love when an artist takes ownership on a cover, which is what you generally do whenever sing a cover. This one kinda reminded me of the Bad Wolves doing Zombie. By the way Bex, let me get it out early ... CONGRATULATIONS on 200K subs this week, and 30MILLION! views next week. I love you!
Omg what if I don't reach it! Jinx me lol. Eek. Yeah me and my covers. Next video I got 4/5 different intros I made up...but have to choose one. Creative brain kicks in. 30 mill? So strange bizzare and crazy. My OG and constant fanboy 💓 you so much.
@@rva Bwahaha, not reach those milestones? Gravity would more likely stop working first. I'm already seeing a GOLD PLAY BUTTON in the distance, as this world discovers your ... DELIGHTFUL, POSITIVE, & UNIQUE PERSONALITY!
@@RPRosen-ki2fk my go to on CZcams xx
This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon & Garfunkel sang to alarm us, he sang to give us a final warning. You should watch their music video version. It is as beautiful as it is haunting.
I'm in tears everytime I hear this song and his voice.
The video version is very gripping, very well done. His vocal transitions are amazing.
Man, just listening makes tears come up again....
That song made me cry in an even tougher time, by Disturbed, as it digs deep in my feelings.
Every single time it happens, these tears, haha!
As meme: and they don't stop coming 100x
I like how this singer takes on a journey from despair and frustration to full blown anger and range, perfectly fits the emotion of our world today. So much injustice, unfairness and suffering.
His voice is incredible. I love this whole contrast - there's this young man with such an impressive, strong and deep voice and there's this huge orchestra in the back. Like, wow.
I clicked on this so fast, I LOVE this cover. I love that you reacted to this! 😭
I really love it. Since it came out, it came on the radio many times, and I never get tired of it. It's beautiful and sad, but because of his powerful, raspy voice it also feels kind of angry (?) and strong.
I'm literally wearing a shirt of the same colour right now 😄 ly ❤
Loved you sharing the raw emotion with this video... When I saw you close your eyes at the beginning, I knew you felt the song deep inside!! 💕
Always a pleasure to check in with Rebecca even though I viewed it multiple times. You are a joy to hear. Thanks.
I first heard this song during the gorgeous figure skating routine Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres did in 2016 and was absolutely blown away. your insights and thoughts on this was fun to watch
I get chills every time I hear this.
omg knowing that you didnt know where this was going made watching this sooooo much amazing! this is my all time favourite song and version!
