Honestly, the original was a warning to us all. I am almost 60. This version made me cry as I realize that we didnt heed it. Disturbed brings an anger that we should all feel.
Simple man... Buy Shinedown. (Lynyrd Skynyrd original) And then hands down this is # 2 on the all time covers of all time!
I'm 76. This is the best cover of a song I've ever heard.
David was classically trained as a Cantor. He comes from generations of them. To this day he has no tattoos in deference to his respect for his grandfather and his heritage. He even removes his piercings.
Not only is he a master of his vocal instrument but is an honorable man. Mad respect to him. I hear his band mates are good men as well...
Also, Simon, the original songwriter said it was as much David's now as his. Many say that Simon's was a warning, where David's was angry that no one listened.
Well said. Simon and Garfunkel was the warning and future prediction. Disturbed laid it down to what the world has become. It's not just a song it is life as we know it. Paul Simon said himself this song now belongs to Disturbed.
Y’all need to listen to Ghetto Gospel. Elton John and Tupac
That's exactly what I heard too.
One was a warning
And one waste result of a warning not headed.
Both are epic in their own way
I had to look up what that meant. Now the suggestion I got from the video makes sense!! Xx
I could tell it was about speaking to people and bringing them together through music.
Though I saw it more as everyone, despite background, could come together theough music, a way of sharing experience without words even.
( think thats just my dream of an ideal world of course)
But yes, I love his voice, the video and the message.
There is NO OTHER COVER OF A RE~MAKE THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD of any song that is so beautiful, the respect, the message. Just goosebumps!!!
Shine down did a great job with simple man
Listen to A Perfect Circles Imagine.
Their sound is usually much harder, more screamy/growly and aggressive; but David is a trained cantor with a beautiful vocal range and he made gorgeous art with this cover.
Beautifully written
I totally agree
An amazing Artist
He's also operaticaly trained
His voice range is actually very diverse despite the genre he general does, he could do way more than that sound. I think a lot of metal singers can they just chose to have a style for certain songs. Singing raspy and on tone like he does take talent even with his usual singing. You could tell his voice is very strong.
The live version is freaking fire too
I prefer that over the studio version.
I agree the live on Conan is on another level!
It’s auto-tuned
He was sick during the live performance. It is fire.
@@elainejones2092 Yup that live performance was autotuned. He was forced against his will whilst ill (financial penalties) to perform and immediately regretted it. Please don't listen to or download that version, people. Even if you're curious, listening to it gives it an extra hit, which is not what we want on the internet. That bastard version should be deleted everywhere.
Simon & Garfunkel recorded this in 1964 and the song is about the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly intentionally, but especially emotionally. So, what you see are people not being able to love each other. Sadly, I believe this was foreshadowing current events, and is most relevant to the times we are living today. And I have to agree "Disturbed" made this song his own and with his delivery being sung so "threateningly" it's as if he is screaming trying to wake people up to this fact.
His lower chest voice is warm and resonant but damn, his tenor voice just SOARS the higher he goes. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
I get full body goosebumps every time.
Same it is exquisite. So beautiful you just want to hear it over and over
At the tender age of 58 years old, THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL song I've ever heard...
You’re not alone!
David Draiman knocks the ball out of the friggin' park here! Different than his heavy metal genre, and SO PHENOMENAL!
absolutely transforms you to another place. we are so blessed to hear😇
If you don't feel this song, you are not human. This song is one of those that you just end the night on. You sit, and you reflect. I love this song. Good choice.
I've known this song most of my life. I HEARD the song with my soul when David did this ... chills, tears.
Funny how you said it was his song. Paul Simon (from Simon and Garfunkel) wrote and performed this song. He watched Disturbed perform this version on the Conan o'Brien show and immediately contacted the group and told David that the song is theirs now. He was verily impressed with their cover. When you have a legend tell you something like that it makes your art complete.
I cannot hear this song without crying.
I love it so much. Better than the original. And from a heavy metal band????? It goes to the soul.
All I have to say is " BREATHTAKING "
Like others have said, Hurt by Johnny Cash is another great example of a killer cover, and accompanied by the video makes for a great first reaction if you haven't seen it!
Would be great to see a reaction video to first the original and then the cover. 👌🏼
If this song doesn't hit you in mind, heart and soul you are dead!!! This is the BEST COVER OF ANY songs in the history of music!!!!
I hope you will welcome a new subscriber even if I am an old hippie. I came of age with Simon and Garfunkel..... Their original song was meant as a warning of where the world was going to since we weren't communicating with each other.. some of us were and saw that warning. However I found that Disturbed's cover began with sadness that the masses did not heed the warning and it ended in veiled anger and frustration that the prophets words were not listened to.
Thank you for reading this and my next suggestion is "Hold on to memories" by Disturbed.
Perfect description of both! This version fits the current times so well.
I still can't listen to, or watch the video for, Hold on to Memories without tearing up. Such a beautiful and affecting song. From Down with the Sickness (bomb-ass song, btw) to Sound of Silence to The Vengeful One to Hold on to Memories, I am so impressed with the the bands willingness and David's ABILITY to successfully venture into to so many different sounds. Brilliant. Down with the Sickness, however, will always hold a special place in my heart and it is so very classicaly Disturbed that it gets me pumped every time.
"Open Your Eyes" by Disturbed 🔥🔥🔥
Is there any reaction on the entirety of youtube, to Disturbeds cover of this song that does NOT have this comment copy-pasted into it?
I mean this part:
"Their original song was meant as a warning of where the world was going to since we weren't communicating with each other.. some of us were and saw that warning. However I found that Disturbed's cover began with sadness that the masses did not heed the warning and it ended in veiled anger and frustration that the prophets words were not listened to."
One part really pissed me off though:
"However I found that Disturbed's cover began with sadness that the masses did not heed the warning"
"However I found"
"I found"
Dude, this is written on EVERY reaction video of this song. Yet you write as if you came up with this.
@@Terrible_fate I was not aware that this was a thing. Perhaps more of my people survived Viet Nam. Nixon, Kent State.. interesting 🤔
I believe it was George Santayana who said ...
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
I postulate... If we do not remember, if we do not learn..... We're just condemned.
Read the Desiterata by Max Ehrmann. That's who we were, who I still am. And darned proud of it. I never lost my yearning for peace.
David is classically trained and has so much control and range. I love this version. So powerful. 💞 thank you for sharing with us!
Like you said, sometimes covers become the defacto version. 'I Will Always Love You' Whitney Houston*, 'Hurt' Johnny Cash, and 'Sound of Silence' Disturbed. No diminishing the originals, but there's a new magic there that just... takes you away
Careless Whisper by Seether is dang good too
Completely disagree
Houston 😊
@@pandasanding7036 ty, autocorrect and I didn’t catch it
'All Along the Watchtower' Jimi Hendrix! Originally written by Bob Dylan
The live version on Conan's late night show brings chills every time! Love this song! Thank you for reacting!
I was just thinking the same thing about David Draiman singing the Star Spangled Banner at the World Series or Super Bowl! You should listen to the live version on Conan Obrien. It still gives me goose bumps and I’ve heard it 100’s of times.
First time I heard this song a single tear fell from my eye when he got to the “people talking without speaking” and so on. And I have no answer to why.
Disturbed is known by “everyone” for their song “down with the sickness” especially the “ooo-Wah-ah-ah-ah” part 💀😅
To me the original is a warning of things to come and this version is a confirmation. With the way it's delivered it's quite melancholy to think about.
@ttv "Land of Confusion" is another cover Disturbed does in case you haven't seen it. It's a song from the 80's performed by the band Genesis which included Phil Collins.
Original - czcams.com/video/Yq7FKO5DlV0/video.html
Disturbed - czcams.com/video/YV4oYkIeGJc/video.html
Paul Simon wrote this from Simon and Garfunkel. I believe he said this was the best he's ever heard
David Draiman nailed it. ❤
I love how with each verse his intensity grows. From a gentle tone to a pure growl by the final verse. So subtle, so very well defined and controlled. This is my favourite version of this song, a vocal masterpiece.
David asked his band to do this cover. They finally agreed when David said he would never ask them to another cover. Probably their biggest hit ever. The song is from Simon and Garfunkel
David had just become a father to his son as they were recording this in the studio, the band has a great history of doing covers, one worth checking out is there cover genesis-land of confusion..great job as always guys
This masterpiece is not a song, it's an experience.
One of my all time favorite covers ever 🖤
David Draiman - the frontman for Disturbed has lobbied often to be able to sing the Star Spangled Banner (a/k/a The National Anthem) before the SuperBowl. The NFL is too conservative, I guess. But you're right he would totally kill it. They powers-that-be in the the NFL are not geniuses, to put it kindly.
For these two to like this song shows how good he is.
The live performance on the Conan show was fire!!!!!! 🔥
I totally agree. In my heart and soul, he owns it! ♥
You should check out the original, as well as Disturbed's original works, for contrast. Also, Disturbed teamed up with Anne Wilson (absolute queen of a vocalist for Heart) on a track recently called Don't Tell Me. Very Very Worthwhile collaboration to check out!
Hello all. The first time I heard this song I waited for the sound and music to change. It never did. Blew me away because I listened to this band a lot and didn't expect this!I remember the original and Disturbed did an AWESOME JOB on it. Keep listening 🎶
Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel who wrote it says it belongs to David now. High praise
This song reaches your soul. Please listen to his live version on Conan. It is amazing!!! I literally get goosebumps when I hear this cover.
He was classically trained and extremely talented even when he sing heavy
I just stumbled on your channel because of this song. Great reaction fellas and good analysis as well. But I have to tell you, every time De spoke, all I could hear is The Ladies Man 🤣🤣. Anyone else ever mention that? Anyway, I’ve got to go check some of your other reactions now. #theladiesman #timmeadows
Thanks Guys! Great reaction video and your feedback was on point. Awesome.
Not only is this one of the best cover songs EVER made, it was also my alarm clock every morning!!! If you want a truly nice way to wake up every day, try it!!!👍👍👍
Although atypical from their usual sound it still shows the emotion that they put into everything. Definitely worth going through their catalog.🤘🔥🤘
Definitely listen to the live version of this song on the Conan O'Brian show.
Absolutely incredible. He even sounds excellent when singing heavy music.
I don’t necessarily say it’s Disturbed’s song but it’s the version that the current generation of young people need to hear it. Simon and Garfunkel will always be the kings of this song. David Draiman is a vocal beast!
The song to me speaks of how many people have been stopped by the silence of people not speaking up. Put it in context of of the oppressed and the masses accepting it but there are whispers of outrage and dissent - written on walls as graffiti etc and slowly the world changes and the quiet whispers become roars.
I love his voice. I firmly believe that his training as a cantor contributes to his range & breath control. I adore his voice but I know David’s voice from his own music. I was introduced to his voice when I was 15 through his song “Down With the Sickness” so when you said he’s got a pretty voice I straight cackled. Check out that song & you’ll see why. 😂 Y’all have an awesome day: loved the reaction.
“He layed the crust.”
I love that!🤯
I became a Disturbed fan after hearing David sing this on the Conan show. ✌️
A very intelligent analysis, but from the heart. Excellent. Paul Simon, who wrote this song in the early 1960s,said that this is his favorite cover for the song.
Simon & Garfunkel are the Original Artists ;!!
His Controlled Pitch & Tones are Fantastic !!!
"Sound of Silence" was composed and performed by the duo Simon & Garfunkel - the composer is Paul Simon, and the other singer is Art Garfunkel. The next great cover is by the Acapella group called "Pentatonix," who are magnificent. This performance, however, actually Makes you Listen to the words and what is being said, that came from the turbulent '60s (1966).
I love at the near end of the song, how both of the guys did not move, just watching Disturbed sing,
"This dude is SANGIN' this song" is possibly the most fitting comment I've ever heard in any reaction to this song. Truer words were never spoken!
My fave song by my fave band! David is classically trained. He can hit any note! Mostly Disturbed is a heavy metal band. But they do a few songs along these lines. Saw them in concert a few months ago. If anyone is wondering, their newly released album is the bomb!!!
Even one of the original artist (Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel) after hearing David's version stated that the song belongs to him now.
Great music video! Ends with the musicians crossing the channel towards the song writers... as the dawn breaks. The video creator deserves some recognition as well in my opinion.
Excellent reaction my friends. I like how enthusiastic you guys are when experiencing good music. Rock on and peace out.
✌🏻😎👍🏻
Simon and Garfunkel had this very powerful song,but they didn't really give it it's just due, but this band gave it life
As others have said the live version is absolutely amazing. However, this video resonates so deeply with me when you consider our current world and the lack of communication within it. Especially, the visual at the end of the song. People on one side carry sheets of music, but no instruments to play it. People on the other side have instruments, but no music to play. It’s only by coming together, is the real beauty seen and heard. Powerful imagery when you think of it in the context of our current society. Just found you guys and your reactions are wonderful to watch and to hear your thoughts. Keep doing what you’re doing. Blessings.
That is still my favorite song(their cover) after years now. I Also have great memories of listening to it with my mom before she passed. She loved many types of music, including metal(Her children's counting 3 of us out of 5 all have the same fav band: Metallica. She loved them) ❤ your reaction!
I had the privilege of hearing them live in Salt Lake and what urheard there is exactly how he sounds live absolutely awesome vocals
This song, in this version, is an absolute emotional thunderclap.
Great reaction to an even greater singer. 💥🤘🏽
I can tell you guys have an appreciation for David’s talent! Loved your reaction!
Met David at Ozzfest 2001 . He made me wait for an autograph till after Marilyn Manson finished performing.
Goosebumps all over. Beautiful. Simon and Garfunkel did it originally. New subscriber ❤
I've been watching this song for 6 hours straight today
My all time favorite
I loved your reaction to this cover, so much symbolism in this cover, I am a child of the 60's when Simon & Garfunkel released the original in 1964 I was in high school, back then I considered it kind of country-ish, I liked it but the message didn't pierce the soul. This cover by Disturbed along with the video is the BEST it touches your soul and really gets S&G message to the core of my being and many others too, goosebumps and tears every time. "Neon God" in the 60's TV the advancement of technology NOW there is so many more especially cell phones. "Neon light that split the night", I remember when neon light would turn on there would be a crackling sound thus touched the sound of silence.
Suggestion = The official video by Disturbed “Hold On To Memories” was released Jan 23rd 2020. “Hold on to Memories" is about not only honoring those we’ve lost, but also making the most of our time with those we still have.
He is actually a heavy metal band leader.
Most, will never be able to sing with this depth of feeling but we can listen with the needed depth!
You don't hear this, you feel it!
Nice reaction 👌
I LOVE that so much....... I've heard it a thousand times and it always makes me think of the end times! Pentatonix did a great version and made it more up beat and of course Simon and Garfunkel had a very hippie feel to it. All WONDERFUL but Disturbed takes the cake! Have you ever reacted to Home Free? Sorry, just stumbled upon this reaction video but if you haven't seen Home Free their cover of When a Man Loves a Woman made it theirs :)
Thanks guys! You have Givin him much respect.this is what I feel at 73. Hair standing eyes crying! I had to take my oxygen off! Couldn't get 02 with the teats! Thanks!
Mr Sir Disturbed. Brilliant reaction guys
This should be blasted all over the country. Words so fitting for today!❤❤❤😢😮😅
What a great reaction video…Y’all didn’t hit the pause every minute, and I so appreciate the clean language…Bravo!
🦋Lily🦋
Thank you so much 😁 -Dre
@@De.Dre.Universe new subscriber & Please would you please do a reaction video of Geoff Castallucci's cover of Sounds Of Silence that he just released a few days ago. His cover is totally different from any other. From somber to tug at your heart strings to emotional to the pain of it all & deep sounds to silence he has it all.
It was a pleasure watching you two react to this song. Thank you!
First time watching you guys and you both seem like solid down to earth dudes. A reaction from you guys on the "Star spangled banner how you have never heard it before" would be awesome video. So many in the US have no clue about the story that birthed the song.
I was 54 before I heard that version and the history in that way about our flag. I just bawled...
ya'll may not have hear this before.... but you get it.... on emotional and technical levels
I love your takes on this song. Keep up the good work!
David Draiman... one of the best male vocalist's on the planet imho. His voice is so rich and full. If you listen, he can actually put vibrato on distortion, which is extremely difficult to do... the man has unbelievable power and control of that beautiful voice! Loved your reaction and commentary De & Dre
Sir David Draiman! I love it. Great reaction guys
I think he deserves it after this performance lol. Thanks for the love bro!
-De
@@De.Dre.Universe absolutely! You’re welcome. God bless you guys
He is my fav and I LOVE HIS CAPES HE WEARS THEM WELL!! Can’t wait to see him here in ATLANTA GA2023”
Incredible and beautiful. We have all been there in the sound of silence
Love the reaction! The song is a cover, the original was written by Paul Simon in 1964 and performed by Simon and Garfunkel. A classic, though after hearing this cover I understand Paul Simon told David Dramain this is his song now. You should also check out Disturbed doing this Live on Conan (most reactors do). As for the National Anthem, I would love to see your reaction to the "Star Spangled Banner As You've Never Heard It Before." Brings many to tears!
Paul SIMON & Art GARFUNKEL are the original artists. I agree, this is now David Draimons song. I am 63 years old & have always loved this song. However, I never heard the meaning behind it until hearing it covered by Disturbed. Goosebumps and tears... still, everytime I hear it. I love watching people react to him owning this song.
I love listening to this song....CHILLS!!!
You said you don’t know this band, haven’t heard this guys voice before… ❤ I respectfully direct your attention to your video with the Godmother of drumming….. she was drumming to Down With The Sickness by Disturbed. That’s the same band you’re listening to now…😊
This is how to deliver a very important message imho.
I've never listened to the lyrics (grew up with S and G version) because the original melody was so boring. Until Disturbed covered it.
Oh my, David made me listen!
I only could cry 😢 😭 and still, I cry or have goosebumps all over my body.
HUGE MESSAGE TO US ALL.
His voice, the so true message and this video, pure perfection.
Communication, face to face, sooooooo VERY important.
In the 60's, TV was bad for communication.
Coming home, couch hanging/TV watching is deadly for Communication.
But nowadays, internet and SM...........MORE DEADLY!
Ppl are nothing more than keyboard / SM monkeys nowadays imo.
Talking without speaking and definitely hearing without listening. REALLY listening to eachother, really communicating with eachother, face to face and listen, really listen to what the other has to tell you.
SM is definitely NOT social at all.
Thanks for your reaction video, liked it.
The best cover of any song I've ever heard. People cry when hearing this version.
you should watch the live version on Conan, it is amazing and the singer was sick as heck when they performed and still nailed it!
This guy can sing anything. Thats what I hear.
That pie analogy makes so much sense.
You guys might also want to check out Queensryche "Take Hold off the Flame" live in Tokyo. You will love the power, range and clarity of Geoff Tate's voice
The crust, the pie filling, and the whipped topping!!!!
If you haven't heard Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen I would love to watch you listen to that. You will know you have the one to listen to because it has over 1.6 billion views. The studio version. Normally I like the live versions best but this song is one that you have to watch the studio version to get the full effect since there are some things they couldn't do on a stage. I didn't see that you had done any Queen songs. Queen has a huge following and would draw people to your channel in droves. Freddie Mercury was the best front man/singer that ever lived. You could feel the peoples love for him and he truly loved them back. One example to really see him in action with his crowd is to watch his song Love of my Life in his Rock in Rio concert it was the largest paying audience in history at that time. Also his Live Aid concert should be watched which is still said to be the best concert of any and all concerts still today. I also didn't see any Led Zeppelin and the live version to Stairway to Heaven would be one that will get you hooked on them. I am subscribing to your channel because I do like this song and have never seen you before. I liked the reaction so I looked up to see if you did other songs I like. There are a couple but I will look forward to seeing you do the awesome bands of the 60's and 70's that so many young people are getting hooked on which is what I grew up with and love to watch the faces hearing true talent with no technological fixes like they do today.
This song was a revelation to those of us that grew up listening to the Simon n Garfunkel version. David Draiman is unreal. Now react to the video of them doing Down with the Sickness. Heavy metal but excellent!
Most of metal singers are just great singers all around
The only way to listen to this song and his voice is as loud as possible. Just an amazing job on Simon and Garfunkel song! Great reaction guys!
