Jinjer - perennial live at Wacken please!
Would love to hear your reaction(s) to Post Modern Jukebox ‘Creep’, or ‘Dream On’. On a side note I thoroughly enjoy your breakdowns! Thank you so much!
Ahh Maggie - well I wonder what I should promote this week? :-) Lets see - how about Diana Ankudanova singing Rachenka! Gee, I wonder why I haven't asked for this before? If you do react to it, make sure that Grandad and Grandma get to see it - it is an old Russian fairy tale - they will love it. As will you. I am going to hunt up the description of the piece that I saw on another reactor's channel - it adds to the meaning - I will load it here for you. Cheers and safe travels - Rosco

Doctor: can you cough for me?
Patient: oooooh wah ah ah ah
Doctor: it seems you have come down with the sickness.
Lol!😀
Ded
Old joke but still funny 😂😂
I hate you!...........but I love you as well.........so take that!
liked this... then took my like away cause... 420, nice bro!
When I saw the title I immediately thought "someone has been tricked by the sound of silence" :)
Lol... True true..🤘
Yasss
Hahaha true
Yup
Same
"Oh this is the meme song."
........ No....... This song was huge long before memes were a thing.
I guess I understand how our parents generation feels ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm thirty six... So yes I've been around since the internet and cell phones became regular.
I'm old enough to remember when Ghost Love Score was the "epic maneuver" song, and thus, was a meme song 😂
I discovered I like it better when people say "Oh, this is the meme song" rather than if they say, "Oh, this is the Tik Tok song."
@@dominitrov Okay, I can agree with that man, as long as you can admit it was still bad. Also I want to see the part of the song she cut out and her reaction to it.
Draimman has stated in interviews that the “Mother” he’s cursing at is a metaphor for today’s society.
The Sound of Silence is a gateway drug for suddenly being a metal fan.
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Did you like my other video reactions to metal bands?
Pantera, cemetery gates... Will make any fan of music a fan of metal!!
Too old for that. Still Classic, Country, Rock... and a small bit of soul.
Guilty
I have been a metal fan for a long time, but had never heard of Disturbed till Sound of Silence, and had to check out that voice, and now I am hooked. Love all of Evolution.
I man, I am 31 and your initial reaction that this is a "meme song" makes me feel old as shit.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my other reactions to metal bands?
I’m 21 and it made me feel old
i know what you mean, but i experience very similar moments with other kinds of songs that i again arent familiar with.
for example that technical comparison with MJ struck me as very interesting, because i dont now much of his music, apart from what one of my older brothers listened to in the 90s
Thought the same 😅 I'm getting old..
She should watch the movie 'queen of the damned' where this song and similar takes a huge part..
How do you think I feel at 49 :P
I could not believe when you compared it to Michael Jackson...then thought for what song it was...and you absolutely nailed it right on the head. The comparison is completely spot on. Totally unexpected comparison.

I’m 67 years old and I grew up with the old sounds of silence and I loved it until I heard it by disturbed! I’m in love with the song! Way better than the original!
Thanks for your comment. 🤘🥰 Hope to see you on my DISTURBED LIVE REACTIONS Livestream tonight czcams.com/video/ozasDbEVD4I/video.html and then on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
David: OOOH WAH AH AH AH!
Maggie: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH
Disturbed fans: HAHAHAHAHA
LOL! Love it! 😍
@@maggiereneemusic please do a react to the studio version of cemetery gates by Pantera. Phil Anselmo's vocals are legendary
I started dying when that happened. You could almost hear the connection being made in her head.
I think I heard gears clicking...
She is adorable
Disturbed getting compared to Michael jackson. Well that’s new 😂
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Did you also like my other reactions to metal bands?
Maggie Reneé sure did. Watched couple of your reactions and I loved them.
That kinda made me sad
like how men and women are similar, as they are both humans, those two parts were similar as they where kinda sharp, with a deliberate short pause
But now it's going to be hard to forget it 😂
Thing you have to remember about his singing is he doesn't use a effects or Auto-Tune. When you listen to him you're listening to him exactly how he sings it. He's also a music producer.
I think David Draiman has more natural control over his voice than any metal singer I’ve ever seen. Been here two decades really and he hasn’t hurt his chords, sounds great still, and can still just switch at his will how he wants to sing. Shame he doesn’t get more credit.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my LIVE stream today in less than 1 hour?
I don't know if its been mentioned yet, but when these guys first came out I remember reading an interview in a metal magazine (yeah, Im that old.. shut up) where David actually said one of his biggest influences is Michael Jackson. So kudos to you for picking that out!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you tonight for my Premiere of a new reaction video to Falling in Reverse?
Wow I did not know that. The comparison still icks 😝 me out tho lol
Fun fact: the intro where he says "can you feel that?" Was because when they were recording this song, the music was shaking the recording studio.
Lol! Thanks.😍
He does it in the live show as well and is the best way to get the crowd going.
Once she crosses over to being a metalhead, there is no going back. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! 10,000 FISTS IN THE AIR!!
Welcome to the family. Different band but also a great song :D
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the Alice in Chains reaction I just posted?
@@Zedificationanator if she hasn’t done A7X yet, A Little Piece of Heaven might be an interesting place to start (if she was worried about this song demonetizing her…..)
“10,000 fists in the air”…..best possible comment lol. So good
@@ilovetacos6092 So little people still listen to ManOwaR, it so sad.
He is such a powerful performer , I remember seeing him on Conan and when he started that raspy fry towards the end it gave me chills .
For a metal singer he has a beautiful seamless register that has a surprisingly broad range.
Some people are just very powerful like Vitas in Opera 2 when he hits that one note that curls your toes
this song is the antithesis of the sound of silence it just show Davids musical background and range
Thank you! 😍
The deal with David is that, like Buddhist monks, he actually activates his 'secondary' vocal chords while singing. There's actually a strangely peer reviewed paper about his singing concerning the fact that he's shown, live, in various interviews that he can harmonize with himself and it's detectable via audio recording equipment that can separate out two entirely different tones at once. Editing and computer programs are not required for that near creepy sound behind his voice.
Thanks for the info. Did you like my other video reactions to metal bands?
@@maggiereneemusic I did! I even subscribed after hearing a few
So glad!😍
Two tones at the same time? My BS is in Bio, and I didn’t know it was possible- “creepy” is the right term! 😮
@edwinjdunn and others nah not creepy at all. You should check it out. It really cool actually being able to hear it. I think you could probably find it on you tube about the monks mmm meditating?? Can't quite remember, sorry but it is really fascinating. Oo oo there was a guy on one of the voice global auditions; my Lord the things this man did with his voice. Y'all should check it out. If I find out which one I'll let you know
"I dont feel comfortable reading these lyrics" ... so you're saying they're too disturbed for you?
as we all then realized she was listening to the radio edit so this section wasnt even in the song, i missed it quit a bit, spills so much anger and rage that you can really feel it.
@@grasgruen84 If she doesn't feel comfortable reading those lyrics, she should try reading some lyrics from Cannibal Corpse 😂😂
@@tattooedman42 Or Carcass.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new Disturbed reaction video I just posted?
Me either, I read the lyrics. So evil, so satanic, it makes me want to projectile vomit
Watching Disturbed live is INSANE!!! Their concerts are always full of energy from the start of the music until they leave the stage!
Agreed, I saw them a few years ago, it was insane!
"In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary.Feb 25, 2019"
Thanks for the info! 😁
That's cool. not to many know this about him. I was going to post and thought i would check first
That's really interesting....
@@frankalfar yeah like holy shit
Hahaha!! Yaiks 😆😂🙈
Supposedly, he isn’t talking to his actual mother but to society, which acts as an abusive mother.
I took it to be he was calling someone a motherfucker, he just used the song's structure to break the word up into two lines.
Actually he his talking about his mother. He was abuse as a kid
That's correct, he's referring to society as mother
@@Jeremy-sw5mp - are you thinking about Jonathon Davis from Korn? I'm fairly sure Draiman had a good upbringing
@mary the sun This is his mothers favorite song and I believe she had some input. She is their biggest fan.
He's actually a trained opera singer

@@maggiereneemusic in truth, David Draiman is a trained Cantor.
This.
Holy shit, I know I'm old when someone refers to this as "the meme song". What young people don't understand was truly how big this song was when it came out. It was freaking everywhere!
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new video I posted today?
I'm not young, this came out when I was int he correct age group for picking it up, but I first heard of it today.
@@politereminder6284 then you had your head buried on the sand this played like 100 times a day on rock radio. The Sickness was a huge album, and one of the best debut albums of that era.
@@jbelisle1986 I guess I had my head buried under the sand 😅.
I don't listen to rock radio. I came across this in a drum tutorial and it really got my attention, so I looked for more.
That "Ohhhhh" moment. Ok. Now if you want some more Disturbed, you can do Inside the Fire 🔥
Warning: The video is very intense.
🔥 🔥 🔥
I was gunna suggest Perfect Insanity
Defintely fore and can relate to David having an ex who had committed suicide back in highschool
Agreed! I love Inside the fire.
Thank you for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it. 😁❤🔥
You can hear his classically trained voice mixed with that heavy metal sound!! This is what sets David Draiman apart from all the rest!!! ❤❤❤
😍
Ha ha ha.. check out Nightwish
Same with Serj Tankien from System of a down
Oh my gosh! Everyone doesn’t know about this because it’s a meme. People know this from it being one of the greatest metal songs of the past 20 years.
Well metal isn't big anymore in the mainstream eyes so most people have never heard the actual song but they definitely heard that part of the song from all the memes. It's all Rap and Pop now. Hell Rock music isn't even a thing anymore. And most bands who do "Rock" mix it with a ton of pop so I don't even consider them Rock Bands.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the Alice in Chains reaction I just posted?
I guess I am old, I didn't even know it was a meme, and I am a computer tech. I've seen Disturbed a couple of times in concert though. They always try to bring their shows with other bands and charge minimum price for tickets. I took my son, and his stepbrother, we saw Disturbed, KillSwitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, Chimaera for $20.
I love the band DISTURBED. David's vocals are phenomenal.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new Disturbed reaction video I just posted?
Anyone else lose it when she came to the "mommy" monologue part of the lyrics
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Did you also like my other video reactions to metal bands?
with her reaction, I'm not surprised the mommy monologue was skipped. honestly, that part was one I don't mind skipping.
Funny trivia. There was a radio station in Fort Smith, AR two (maybe 3) years ago that played this song on continuous loop for several days straight, clipped perfectly so that it looped around and done in such a way you wouldn't notice unless specifically listening for it. Probably caught about 3 hours of it while I was in town for a week long training.
@@craigf6277 They used the clean radio edit for the official music video. I don't think I've heard the full version on the radio before haha. Somehow this song (the full version) aways made it onto my mix CDs. I remember driving to a family event with my aunt in the car when it came on. She mentioned she liked the beat and all I could think of is I need to find a way to skip it.
@@craigf6277 to be honest... That monologue is what sold me to this song. It's so primal and uncomfortable but yet so real. Sadly. Abusive mothers are a sad reality we shouldn't shy about
@@KatherinaBathory to each, his own. Personally, I think it's unnecessary and a bit to far over the top for my tastes, but that's me. You do you 🙂
Yeah this was definitely a millennial song because I didn't even know it was a meme. When I was a teenager, man, this song played like EVERY DAY its perfect. 😌
Thank you for your lovely comment. 😍 Will you be joining me for the Premiere of Home Free tomorrow?
Great breakdown of Disturbed by an opera singer. Glad you enjoyed Dave's voice. I am a over 20 year fan of his. He can growl and sing. It's proven now.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you tonight for my Premiere of a new reaction video to Falling in Reverse?
I have to say, that while I enjoyed the reaction overall, it was your reaction to a certain section of the lyrics that truly made me smile. Reminded me of the first time I heard the unedited version of this song.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my Twitch LIVE stream tonight @10pm EDT? It's FREE for you to 'follow' me and to watch my stream and you can request your favorite song for me to sing for you: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic
This song was a jam most of us head banged to back in the early 2000s, really glad you enjoyed it 😂
LOL! Thank you!😁
Growing up, this was one of the tunes I blast to piss off the adults around me.
I like how you wrote that this video is getting "demonized" instead od "demonetized." Still fits and makes total sense. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
LOL! YAASS! Thank you for your fun comment! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
You reading the lyrics I knew were coming brought tears of joy. My wife was looking at me like I was crazy.
Just found your channel, and I LOVE this! As a life long theater kid, I adore the musicality of Disturbed and David's voice. I'm so excited you reviewed this after seeing Song of Silence ❤️

This band has sold over 17 million records and i believe 5 debuts at number one on the charts...not a new band at all...they have been at this for years! Im very happy that you reacted to this song...opening the minds of people that may never experience this type of music is what this is all about! Cheers! Well done!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁😍 Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope you will join me for my Christmas Eve Livestream at 6pm EST?
You should hear the uncensored version......where he’s screaming at “mommy”
Lol!😀
Totally though.
Yup, just look for lyrics video of the song and you'll see/hear/feel the difference .
The Uncensored version is the only version I acknowledge
Maggie: cool fact. David Draiman had to develop his rasp style to get around his deviated septum making his high notes sound all stuffed up. After he had it fixed, he just kept singing that way because people reacted well to the raspy style :D
Fell in love with Disturbed over a couple of decades ago. When I first heard this song, I fully believed it was at least three singers in this song.
Thanks for your comment. Hope to see you at tonight's Disturbed Premiere on my channel?
So sad we didn't get her full reaction to the 'when I dream' verse
LOL!😁
Yeah the official video sucks
Actually, the best part of the video for me was when she was reading the lyrics and got to that part. Her reaction to that was pure gold, and I'd have expected nothing less from such a sweet soul.
no, mommy, don't...
don't skip this part 🤘
True, that is the best part, both musically and emotionally speaking
Nothing that comes out of his mouth, no matter how bizarre the sounds forced. It is just effortless, powerful and moving. I have been amazed by his voice for decades.
Thank you for your comment! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
This song is about how society treats people who are "different." A lot of people think they are "sick" and "wrong" and want nothing to do with them.
In the middle of the song, lead singer David Draiman acts out a skit where he is being abused by his mother (not in the radio version). Finally, he builds up enough courage and hits her right back. This is used to symbolize how "mother society" abuses "her" children for not being the way "she" thinks they should. "She" keeps doing it until "her" children get sick of it and are so angry with her and themselves they go out and get revenge for it, most likely by killing the people that hurt them ("here it comes, get ready to die!") A good example of this would be the school shootings that go on around the country.
Getting "Down With The Sickness" means accepting people for who they are so we can all function better.
This song changed everyone’s lives back in 2001 the first time it was heard…..and at the same exact time SOAD chop suey came out and we surrendered to the metal!!
I am really glad you decided to continue on with this band. You're probably the second vocal coach I can think of who has done that.
Thanks for your kind comment! 😊
Now you know why the metalheads (myself included) couldn't wait to see you react to this one. 🔥
Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it. 😁❤🔥
I do believe she just found her new “ angry music” playlist!
LOL! Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my Valentine's Day Live Streams today? 💖😊
David Draiman gives a shout out to The Warning and Plush, two young bands that give him hope for the future of rock:
"Young powerful women playing real instruments and writing and playing songs the entire rock genre can be proud of."
At 7:00 I think the term you are looking for is “vocal fry”, which is something he is known for. Other metal/screamo enthusiasts might refer to this as “shredding” (the voice). I use it as a catalyst to growl 1st octave notes.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you tonight for my Premiere of a new reaction video to Falling in Reverse?
Omg, I was just watching that. Love Ronnie and Paige, both of them talented and fun characters. Can’t wait to see it!
😍
YASS!!! The drummer is fantastic. I definitely agree about the capabilities that the singer has regarding the bounce back and forth between the regular and raspy singing. A highly underrated song by Disturbed is "Overburdened". Definitely recommend that one. I would insert the fire emoji here, but this computer doesn't have it, so rock on with all of your endeavors.
LOL! I got you! Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it. 😁❤🔥
hearing sound of silence then down with the sickness shows how versatile he is 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I've been a fan of Disturbed since their debut and this is ALWAYS FUN!
Disturbed - "Remember" This is David's best vocal performance. Lots of clean, melodic singing.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new Disturbed reaction video I just posted?
The technique he's using for the uh uh part is called a fry scream but he did glottal stops. A fry scream is when your vocal cords are closed and you push air through them. The way I learned them was by taking a pencil, putting them in between your teeth, then doing a vocal fry ( the grudge voice), and visualize it going up and above the pencil. I would love to see you doing a reaction to some scream tutorials and try them out. Careful though, it's addicting lol.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my LIVE stream later today?
I'm going to Disturbed next week in Auckland and I can't wait. I quit smoking yesterday in order to go to the concert
I am a huge disturbed fan and have seen them many of times and the stage proformance is always amazing. In one of the shows I went to a guy was in a wheelchair and was crowd surfing and David noticed and they brought him on stage and he got to be on stage for the show!
heavy metal singers can't sing they said... David Draiman: "Here, hold my WHAH-AH-AH-AH!"
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Did you like my other video reactions to metal bands?
Some amazing "metal" singers out there, just didn't fit the norm of their time.
@@maggiereneemusic are you thinking about doing another Disturbed song? My I humbly request Prayer again? It's about having a conversation with God. It was released right after 9-11
When you need to be fully alert in the morning but there is NO COFFEE: Disturbed - Down with the sickness (And crank it up to 11!)
🤟😝🤟
I agree but "The game" REALLY gets the blood going in the morning
really? I suggest UTA - Awakening. 😛
Your showing your age "cranking it to eleven"
@@Darkhalfcustoms You too by understanding the reference ;)
Should we request a reaction to Big Bottom? Asking for a friend...
Nothing better then watching you guys hear sounds, and then hear down... I have not been disappointed yet...
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my other video reactions to metal bands?
@@maggiereneemusic absaloutly... and I'm pretty stingy up votes..... You seem to put the work in with enjoyable content/reactions.../clap
So glad!😍
The entire Immortalize album is phenomenal. This the album that includes Sound of Silence. Every single song on that album is amazing. Their latest material is pretty amazing too. Ten Thousand Fists is also a pretty amazing album. Become a Disturbed fan. You won't regret it. David Draiman's voice is second to none.
Another option from Disturbed would be "The Light" - sort of a middle-ground between the 2 you've reacted to
Then you also need to listen to "The Night" to complete the picture that is painted by Disturbed.
Agreed, The Light is an amazing song..but seriously so is the entire Sickness album. Most bands come something and there are a few good songs on it..but that one is just beginning to end great.
@@dblaska I've always leaned toward their second and third albumns more...but The sickness is still amazing from them
I agree.
Thanks for your comment. Hope to see you at tonight's Disturbed Premiere on my channel?
They cut out the "uncomfortable" section in the middle because you couldn't really put something like that on the radio/mtv/etc.
It's only in the album version of the song.
They play it in full on the radio nowadays
In my market they play that song in its entirety. I am in the bible belt. That said it isn't a particularly impressive piece of music.
I personally think, while it's not the most impressive set of lyrics I've ever heard, you can take this song as an explanation using sickness as a metaphor for the anger and guiltless feeling welling deep inside from an abusive relationship with his mother. Without the uncomfortable part, the song loses context, really. Art can be provocative, but it is not passionless. To censor a song to water down their art. We can all be adults and enjoy the song for exactly what it is: an expression of emotion.
the part they cut out is probably bringing the whole song down, not just in lyrics, it sounded like a monologue more than singing.
thats the fun thing with not living in an english speaking country. you can suddenly catch the uncut versions of songs playing inmidst a mall
I wish I could do the raspy sound without hurting my throat. I have no training, but absolutely love singing. What I love about him as a singer is the purity of his voice that can then be transformed into that heavy raspy throat sound, back and forth, all while still sounding amazing!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my LIVE stream Saturday?
David is classically trained, everything he does is purposely done, that's why some people get confused by his vocals
When you read the lyrics,... that just cracked me up.
LOL! Thank you for your comment! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
“This is the meme song”
(Cries in old man)
I really love how she just picks his voice apart like it's science. It really is incredible how she view vocals and voice. I've never watched anything like this before. 😍

Mother or mommy in this case is not actually talking about his mother. Rather it's a metaphor for society or the system which controls "insert an idea or example"
Without that though you still have a very powerful literal interpretation of the impact of child abuse. The mother pouring the hatred into the child, giving them the gift of madness, and draining the humanity from them.
@@quzar That's how I interpreted it as a teenager hearing it for the first time, it was particularly poignant with my home life at the time.
Thanks for the info! 😍
Disturbed is one of the best metal bands in being able to go from clean vocals to metal rasping and including both in one song. We all adore David's voice of course. But Dan on piano/guitar, Mike on drums and John on bass guitar truly make the band amazing! Mike's drumming has me mesmerized in some of their songs! They have some many great songs I recommend listening to all of them, a personal favorite Reason to Fight. I'm sure you've seen in other notes how this Down with Sickness is the official and clean version so no scene of abuse screaming. Which way too many people misunderstand anyway. Thinking this is about child abuse when David has stated again and again it "Speaks about the eternal struggle of the individual against the mother culture of society that is constantly trying to beat the child struggling for independence and individuality into submission." As to the famous sound he makes at the beginning it originally wasn't part of the song. "That noise just kind of came one day. The song originally was written and it just had a pause. Mike, his beat is just so tribal, and it just kind of made me feel like an animal."
Thank you for your comment! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
@@maggiereneemusic I posted on that one too. lol I adore the Hu and loved that you took the time to look up the translation and even clarify things you didn't know. The pursuit of knowledge is never-ending!!
I think I commented on this once before but Maggie, I love the look on your face when you heard this for the first time. I also love the fact that you still have the presence not to repeat offensive lyrics. They don't bother me but I'm sure someone would be offended by them. I just started listening to your reactions so I have some catching up to do but I am addicted to your channel. Thanks for doing this! Rock on!
The album SICKNESS which features this song is certified 5 times platinum as of 2018. Sales are up since then
And now that you've heard actual Disturbed
I suggest Perfect Insanity, Asylum, Who Taught You How to Hate, and Prayer
And if you want more slower Disturbed songs though...
Darkness, The Light, Save Our Last Goodbyes, and A Reason to Fight
Thank you for your suggestions!😁
Try reacting to Disturbed "Hold on to Memories" and "The Light," Both are amazing and a vastly different side of the band.
Thank you for your requests. Did you like my other video reactions to metal bands?
@@maggiereneemusic y0u should react to HELLYEAH and their songs 'moth' and 'demons in the dirt' and 'drink drank drunk'
I also highly recommend "The Light". It's vastly different from their norm. But so good. And the video is a tear jerker.
I laughed so hard when she started to read the lyrics...when she got to the mom portion was hilarious.
Oh God. I recoiled at this being called the meme song. I'd not realised that I'm fucking old
LOL! You are not old. Thank you for your lovely comment. If you would like to connect more closely, please join my Patreon Family: www.patreon.com/MaggieRenee Also hope to see you on my LIVE stream today in less than 2 hours?
I've never heard of "The Meme Song" before watching this.
Commenting instead of liking so I don't ruin the 69
@@louisianagator95 haha!
I realised I was old when I was not aware there were memes of this. And I used to be so in touch with the early memes of the 80s and 90s XD
The Hu - "Wolf Totem" ... Mongolian throat singing.
Yes! Sugaan Essena, Yuve Yuve Yu and Song of Women are other amazing ones from them.
Yes, more this. I want to see her face as a Mongolian Metal band conquers her ear drums.
Yes
That's using the word singing very loosely, I knew it was throat , but I was thinking deep.
Definitely the Hu. The way Alberich would have sung had Wagner known of this kind of singing. In "Sugaan Essena" you get to see the whole band at work.
You was exactly right about his live performance of the sound of silence, in one interview he mentions that prior to performing he was struggling with a cold and was concerned about his ability to sing but did it anyway.
Thanks for the info! 😀
I have to admit I laughed at the look on your face when you were reading the lyrics. :) Great song.
seeing disturbed live is one of the two best live performances i have ever experienced. it is disturbed and rush on a shared first place. they are just insane to watch live and I absolutely loved every second of it!
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you in 2 hours for my LIVE?
@@maggiereneemusic sorry but my time zone doesn't allow that, have to go to bed now but I will definately be checking back if you post the stream as a video.
good luck going live! love from sweden =)
Gotcha. Sweet dreams! 😍
I loved how the penny dropped the moment you heard “Oh-wa-ah-ah-ah." 😂
Nice reaction, subbed,
Thanks for subbing! Welcome to my channel and I appreciate your lovely comment and sharing my videos. Did you also like my other video reactions to metal bands?
My first Disturbed song experience was Stupify back when it came out. Definitely one to look into. Love the versatility of his voice. So much power & control.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new Disturbed reaction video I just posted?
This is one of my favorite songs. And great video Maggie.
Thank you for your lovely comment! 💖 Hope you are having a lovely weekend! 😊 Can't wait to see you tomorrow on my livestream: czcams.com/video/wqnYJzLorBk/video.html
I enjoyed how you broke it down vocally. You had me LMAO, when you were talking about the beginning meme vocal intro. It's great to hear anything rock/metal appreciated musically, by the elite from Julliard. It's very difficult to get into that school. I love and enjoy your CZcams channel. You are such a stupendous stunning beauty!!🌹🤟🌹🤟🌹🌹🌹✌️✌️💋💋🤟
Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you tomorrow at my new Premiere?
Not to be rude, but the memes are not the reason everyone knows this song. Disturbed was probably the most influential band in the genre of heavy metal, including Slipknot, Skillet, and Avenged Sevenfold
In America maybe
Not just America. I've followed Disturbed long before memes were thing.
The most influental bands in the genre of heavy metal:
- Black Sabbath
- Iron Maiden
- Metallica
- Slayer
- Judas Priest
- Pantera
- Slipknot
Certainly not Disturbed, Skillet or A7X.
@@diceymaan -megadeth
@@diceymaan Black sabbath was hard rock, Iron maiden ditto, metallica... rock. Slayer Thrash metal. Judas priest heavy metal, Pantera ditto. Disturbed Alt Rock or Alt metal.
I loved that face, that reaction, with the lyrics.
I literally almost choked when you said that you were going to bring up the lyrics.
I assumed the video'd just skip that bit, as it usually does, but it's intense as heck.
And "The Night" is *MASTERFUL* by them. 🔥
Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it. 😁❤🔥
Maggie Renee' after watching this video you are now and forever my favorite Opera singer
Very sweet! Thank you! 🌺🤗💖
You are very welcome 😉⚘
I just saw your reaction to Sound of Silence, which was great. So glad so many people suggested this. Rock on!
Thanks so much. Hope to see you on my LIVE in about 4 hours?
There she is lol. Also on another note I'd thought I'd never hearr a Michael Jackson and Disturbed comparison and on another another note the "mother" being portrayed in this song is that you read in the lyrics is society and the way society kinda picks on people who are different. A basic summarization but it's used as a metaphor
Thanks for the info! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
It's fun watching you bravely venture outside your musical comfort zone and broaden your horizons musically and, I suppose, societally?
LOL! Thank you for your comment! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
The Uncensored version is the only version I acknowledge. The cut out middle part is what makes the song.
I was in my 20's when this song came out and my mother locked herself in her room the first I played it. I had to clarify a few things about the song before she'd see me in person.
🤣 lmao!
Love it, here for it ALL DAY!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Classic song.. Cant believe this song is 20 years old.
Thank you for your comment! Did you like my new reaction video to a folk metal band from Mongolia I just posted?
It can't be 20 years old I was 30 when it came out ??? ..........oh am I really 50🤯
I feel old now.....
Just imagine Dave moonwalking during down with the sickness without telling the band before going on
Enjoy the rest of your day : )
LOL! 😍
I shouted oh wah ah ah ah in music class and the kid on guitar actually started playing down with the sickness
I love how SO many people commented on being old because this song came out before memes! Heck I didn't even know who Disturbed was until they did The Sound of Silence. I have been checking out Disturbed ever since and a few others.
Thank you for your comment. Metal is next on my channel! 🤘 Set your reminders and 'ring the bell for notifications'! Will you be there tomorrow early in the chats for a fun metal premiere?
I love Disturbed's music, and Dave Draiman, but until watching this Reaction Video, I had no clue about all of the memes made. CRAZY!
Lol! Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like my other reaction videos to metal bands?
@@maggiereneemusic Hello! This is the first video of your's that I've listened to. I've been listening to a bunch of "reaction" videos over this last week, and many look "staged". But Your's feel genuine, and I will continue to check your reactions.
So glad! Thank you! 😍
his voice is breathtaking
😍
I saw Disturbed for the first time, back in July at Upheaval. Great concert!
I’ve met David Draiman once when he was on tour with STP. He was very nice and believe it or not, very soft spoken.
Ack.
Just listen to his Tea Time interview with Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice.
