*Disturb the Sound of Silence* ...
This song was basically tailored for this band. 'nuff said
4:48 - 4:51 David has an injury to his vocal cords that he had repaired and that repair ruptured, he gets acid that agitates the injury. Just before this performance The band had to cancel a few performances so he can rest his voice. If I remember correctly this was none of the first if not the first performance after that break. He sounds amazing but David is very hard on himself.
@@lalacorn5138 thanks for explaining that.. must have been hard to start singing again, but to come back like this is epic
@@HofTheStage Oh yea..David Draiman is a badass...Quick question, can you help people with absolutely 0 vocal expirence?
@@lalacorn5138 sure, if you have the time and will to practice
They took the song a made it theirs.. It's perfect.. Not to mention that the way they did it fits the context of the lyrics.. And I love that Simon and Garfunkel endorse this version as well.. Disturbed did it so tastefully to honor the original and make it their own.. I cannot get enough of this song.. It's so powerful and moving..
I cannot imagine doing this with a high grade fever. David is THE man
102° temperature with bronchitis.
😳💕
This man is amazingly talented.
Host: This guy has the voice of an angel and a demon at the same time
Lifelong Disturbed Fan: Bruh... INSTANT SUBSCRIBE
Hehe, glad you liked that! Thanks for subscribing!
Like the 5th reaction to this song I've watched today because I like hearing it praised.
Probably my 20th today. It's interesting the different interpretations. Some analyze the singing itself. Others get into the meaning of the lyrics. One video had a really interesting religious interpretation of it.
I fall into, what I call CZcams Hell, so much listening reaction videos to this song. I love the reaction at the last verse. So many almost loose their complete shit!
I’m the same way. Have you noticed the official video of this has been viewed almost 67 million times?
@@sheilalong3827 The official video of what?
The music video made by disturbed of Sound of Silence. Not the one on Conan.
"Dragonslaying voice". Best turn of phrase I have ever heard in my life, and 100% accurate.
David Draiman has described himself as "sick as a dog" the night he performed this on Conan.
102° temperature and bronchitis to boot.
Yes. He was down with the sickness.
David Draiman: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right."
Good reaction, brother. A dark voice that can explode and illuminate everywhere. That voice is on loan from God.
Singing this song for him is genius!!! Perfect!!!! This song brought me to Disturbed. This was filmed on "Conan". I was amazed! And I grew up with Simon AND Garfunkel. I am now a 62 year old woman that loves this group!!!!!!
Just shows you the power of great music and an awesome cover!
Snap I heard this at 63 & now love this man & disturbed. 💕
I "feel" this version more than the original.
He was very sick when he did this, was not sure if he could do the show. He was trained as a cantor
David Draiman’s voice = angelic/demonic! And, yes, he was trained to be a cantor, actually. 💜💜💜
Which is what he is. The perfect balance of light and dark.
Wouah Excellent je kifffff grave
I can't listen to this version without getting goosebumps and chills down my spine. I love it.
He was sick that night. David is a classicly trained singer. You should go listen to the live concert version with Myles Kennedy. This is my favorite band ever.
Now that's a good version, I haven't found a bad version of this cover yet
@@emmaroma4523 he was "down with the sickness" *hides*
Yeah, he was sick and they put autotune on the recording, wich peed him off...
David is versed in cantorial studies, he was sick that night and he found out post production they used some autotune and he was livid.
@@bekkatheman Yeah, I heard that they didn't even tell him they were going to use it, they just did it without his permission. He didn't find out until post, and he didn't even find out from them, he heard it in the track and confronted them with it. Man, was he ever pissed. From what I hear he *hates* auto-tune, 'cause he feels like it's cheating.
He's not only classically trained, he's also operatically trained as well as cantorial, so for them to use auto-tune on any of his tracks, sick or not, is kind've an insult to the guy.
You got it right. He has the flu or something when this was done. The fact that he sounds like this when he is sick is just amazing. Superlatives just aren't made to describe a performance like this.
This song gives me chills every time I hear it!
Thank you so much for going over this song! Ive loved the Simon & Garfunkel version of this song for years. I too was skeptical when my brother told me Disturbed had covered this, but I fell in love with this song all over again when I heard Disturbed perform this song. Who could have guessed David Draiman had such a beautiful voice! He displays so much talent here - the clear beautiful high notes, the raspy intense part at the end - and performs this cover as a cover should be done. Again, thanks for going over this song. ;)
I remember an Interview with the Band after this: Draiman was still sick with the flu this evening. Imagine his Performance when he would have been totally healthy...he is an amazing singer.
He has bronchitis and he was so sick he couldn’t even stand for the performance.
David was sick with the flu and running a fever. The band made him sit orlean on a stool because they were afraid he would pass out. He is classically trained and it's amazing how he controls his voice.
God: Would you like to sing like an angel or a demon?
David: Yes
2nd most stolen comment on CZcams
@@crosisofborg5524 yes, but worthy of repeating cuz its a good comment..Love David,,
You know your stuff. He was sick doing this performance. He may sound nasily but now imagine his nasal passages filled with snot and he still pulled off one of the most amazing performances ever.
I've watched hundreds of reactions to this cover. I chuckle when watching reactors faces when they watch this for the first time. And it never fails I am reduced to tears by the time he hits the final lyrics. Hauntingly beautiful and powerful.
his voice was nasally in this performance because he had the flu. Imagine this song when he was healthy.
He always sounds nasaly, especially on their heavy songs.
He has bronchitis, they have the same symptoms though
You're the first person on earth who noticed the moment at 14:02. You're absolutely right. This went from raspy to clean happened even before I thought it did.
No one mentions it, but it definitely stuck out to me... probably because it's something I've been working on myself and he just nails it.
6:10 Shuddering "This guy has the voice of an angel and a demon at the same timel" I've watched many reactions to this song, and that comment is the most insightful one I've heard. Great reaction overall, and that moment was the highlight.
-Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive.
-Disturbed had been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance for their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" while appearing on Conan.
-David Draiman: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right."

Oh no. Listen to "Hold on to Memories". I want that one played at my funeral. I hope you give that one a go. He's an amazing vocalist.
I've never heard that one...I'll be back
@@aliteralfawkinghorse4149 Hey Cog brother. They played it at Rock USA on the Anniversary of Chester's death. On the back screen the shower collages of photos of them with artists who have passed. Chester, Vinnie......
That song is as emotional, if not more, than this song. David is amazing live.
Hold on to Memories is my favorite!
@@aliteralfawkinghorse4149 Same.....
If you watch the set closely, the golden lights only highlight the instruments and David. No one else. It's awesome.
David Draiman's voice is AWESOME!! Unbelievable amazing CONTROL! The best there is!!
Hi Coach, this is my favourite version of this song. The recorded version is the same and it gives me chills each time i listen to it. I love love love David’s voice! Angelic and Devilish! Powerful! Thanks for your reaction! 💕🇵🇭 By the way thanks for the trivia. 😉
Glad you like the video :) Help me grow my channel to 100K subs by sharing!
I’m sure others will have mentioned this already but on the day he gave this performance he had flu and the show producers wanted to use auto tune which he absolutely refused to do, but apparently they did switch it on briefly which he reportedly was super pissed about it. I can’t detect it, to me it’s perfection 😊
I have seen them perform this song live twice. Once right after it had come out, and last year in the anniversary of Chester's death. It is an experience every time. I agree with Mary, Hold on to Memories is another stunning song. Also check out A Reason to Fight.
Someone somewhere said that the original sounded like a surrender to "the darkness" - whereas this one sounds like a call to arms. In my opinion, this one is the superior version. By a lot.
I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis ... Excellent ........ David Draiman's voice is epic. Regarding the lyrics, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning.
The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.
I love your reaction with so many details and commentary. I watched all the way to the end. I'm inn Music City 🇺🇸 Nashville. I've been to Disturbed Concerts three occasions. It is mind blowing. I will get my tickets as soon as they announce. We aren't just about Country Music here. We have great variety and it is a great place. Y'all should all visit and we will fix y'all some sweet tea the wine of the South.
I agree with you about not messing with the original 😁. Having said said that I can still admire Some covers
He has a beautiful instrument; his voice.
Excellent overview! thank you. The elongated tone of the letter "n" is something I have noted before... I loved it. It is beautiful. You are very good at calling out the details!
He actually had a cold that day and still nailed it!!!
Bronchitis and a high fever
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?
Have you watched the Pentatonix version of this song? It was really amazing.
Also Paul Simon contacted them after hearing this version and he loved it so much he put it on his channel.
I've been in loved with his voice the second I heard it nearly 5 years ago.
David Draiman is such a phenomenal singer; he had the flu when they put on this performance!
Thank you for your reaction, you have the best evaluation of this performance than any others I’ve watched
David did have a cold or flu at the time of this performance. He still nailed it. Best cover I've ever heard.
I really love your reactions. Such a nice mix of emotional reaction and musical voice knowledge.
Thanks a lot, that's what I'm going for! Like, subscribe and share the video so we can get to 100K subs
"I notice that this is a little bit lower than the original"
You've got a fine ear, man.
To sing sick, best version EVER!!
The true power of music my friend. To the people in the audience it wasn't a performance I hope it was a moment for them. Because with 760 million views I hope the true words and lyrics reach all of their hearts and that no voices are silent. Music has no boundaries. Great breakdown and I learned a lot from you.
I've watched 100 reactions of this song, yours might be the best. Knowledgeable and respectful
I love to watch reactions just to see a reaction to something I love.
You didn't comment on how he hit all those notes while seated. Between the Conan & studio versions, the views on this song number well over ONE BILLION!
Just Beautiful!!! EPIC voice and EPIC song!!
The original version (Simon & Garfunkel · 1967) was a warning against the rise of technology (Television / now 'social media') which was causing less and less 'human interaction'. Think about how people brag they have 6,000 'friends' on Facebook but may never have actually met them, or how much time you look at your phone instead of the world around you (like when they are driving and end up getting into a car wreck killing someone) or how people will 'text' someone whom is literately sitting next to them, rather than just 'talk' to them.
Disturbed's version is equated to the 'rage' of someone because those warnings were not listened to - and how now its becoming so 'uncomfortable' to even just 'talk' to someone without someone getting offending or being offensive, because we are now, more and more, creating this warped sense of reality - and it just feels easier just to use 'social media' instead of our own voices, which further creates that disparity.
The short version is its a warning about humanity losing what makes us 'human' - and instead embracing the 'neon god' (tech/social media) which lets us 'communicate' but also leaves us in silence - as we've forgotten HOW to communicate with each other simply as human beings... like we did for thousands of years till now...
Having seen disturbed live several times this song moved me every time and brings tears to my eyes
David was a bit under the weather in this performance, and so the sound technician decided to add a bit of auto-tune in parts of the song, which (quite understandable) made David absolutely livid. I wouldn't want to be in that sound technician's shoes when meeting a furious David Draiman after the performance.
Listen to Disturbed 'Hold on to Memories' no vocal distortion.. but make sure you have your tissues at hand. He goes 'Dad Rock' and still goes straight to your soul
Best reaction I've seen for this cover.
the guy was sick as hell at that recording....you vocal coaches are so wicked...What's 'your' big moment? He's been on top of his game for 20 years......
I love this SO much. I liked the Simon and Garfunkel version when I was young, mainly due to the meaning of the lyrics. In the interim, I have studied and sing vocal music - in an acapella choir - for more than 40 years. I have a low contralto voice. Between the interpretive technique of David's voice and its expressiveness, I must say "I get it" - totally. Bravo!!!
This is amazing cover, WOW! I been watching your channel for so long but I didn't see any Sarah Geronimo reaction. I hope you react to her performances like Creep, Reflection, Don't Let Me Down, Tala, Kilometro and more. Thanks and God bless you more.
The nasal sound David has here is because he had the flue at this time.
There is actually a bit of autotune on this version. However, this was done by the broadcast studio. Disturbed didn't know this was being done. David said that he was angry when he found out about this.
Excellent review
I'm .37 secs in and you MUST understand these were different times in history. S/G's time was a warning of what would come. We promised you our children we would fix. How'd. That worked out??? Never mind Disturbed answered that with their version.. Proud of it
Freaking amazing!! I love the big drum things
Disturbed fan here from Philippines,,i love them sooo much....
Two of the standout moments for me are we he ends a rasp phrase with a clean line. True artistry.
I loved this review. I am subbing after many months of checking you out.
David Draiman has some great pipes! The musicians of Disturbed have Transcended this song into a Prayer.
I like those deep voice.. epic, legendary voice
David is trained as a Cantor for his synagogue when he was a child by is father.. he has shown to be a Vocal master
great reflection for the musical therms and some historical about it on top. very nice.
Try to listen to Uninvited guest from the Evolution album. That is my fav song from the album and another song that shows how amazing David's voice is.
Davids Voice Is Angelic...A Dark Angel
He was also very upset bc the Conan sound engineers turned on auto tune for the performance and he didn’t want it. Because of this , David said he will never perform on that show again lol
If you pay attention at the VERY beginning when he starts singing, he hears the auto tune and he does a slight grimace at it.
Fabulous version!
This song was so ahead of its time
You can always recognize David Draiman's voice.....like no other...has a warm timber to it that NO ONE else has....can go from octave to octave no problem.....or if he's singing clear as a bell or with grit. Awesome singer!!
Its heading to a billion plays now.
I like that you included the story behind the original version.
What a voice YOU have.
He was ill with cold/flu and fever for this stellar performance!!!
This is one of my favorite covers ever 🥰
It's amazing! The Pentatonix reaction is coming soon ;)
Great review!!!
Best reaction to this song ever! 👍
Fantastic performance!!!! Great reaction.👍🏼🤗🎼
Amazing performance! Thanks, share and subscribe!
you explained this greatly
And God said to David, "Do you want the voice of a demon, or an angel?"
David: "Yes."
The drums are the Exclamation Points To the statements made in the song! David Draiman’s vocal version is emotional. Love it.
Ive bene listening to thousans Los and a plenty of dingers
I can saybthat thisbguybiscenfowrd with one of the modt colorful, emozional, versatile voices ever .
Please react to "Hold on to Memories" and "The Light," Both are amazing and a vastly different side of the band.
It's still amazing how he pulled this off so beautifully while having the flu with a fever. And to be praised by Paul Simon, no higher honor.
"I believe his every word. " Yes.
he had the flu and a bleeding leision on a vocal cord which makes it even more impressive
He was sick during this performance. And no auto tuner was used. He had traing for Cantor with classical techniques
If you think his is low listen to geoff castellucci. You will not be disappointed his range is beyond amazing. He is also in VoicePlay if you have not heard them listen to oogie bogie it shows his range well.
You NEED to check out Voiceplay. All of them have crazy ranges but their bass has the craziest at no less than a five octave range. He can go from the pits of hell to angelic in seconds. For a great showcase listen to their cover of Oogie boogie’s song from the nightmare before Christmas
Great reaction. Just subscribed
Gosh, I heard this song yesterday! And Striken ❤🤘
The guitar was played by Miles Kennedy.
The voice kids philippines has sang this song too in the battle rounds
I believe every word as well.
I love it!
Thanks, like and share!
