I just saw Disturbed this weekend and David performed this song. He absolutely exceeded my expectations not only with this song, but the entire concert! Such an amazing vocalist! If anyone ever has the opportunity to see them live, I would recommend without reservation!
I have seen hundreds of reactions to this. Yours is my fav so far. You are articulate, calm, clear and interesting to listen too. I know nothing about singing, vocal technique etc (not that interested really), but your video was a joy to listen too. Subbed.
David’s voice obviously is what makes this song. But can we give it up for the timpani player. This song would be completely different without it. Such a powerful compliment to David’s vocals
Actually I watched an interview he gave, and what he had is a growth on his vocal chords during this performance. He had it operated on after this, and couldn't talk for 3 months. He said nothing about being sick.
The band decided to do a stripped-down version and when Paul Simon heard this version it's the best cover he's ever heard of this song and he was going to put it down on his playlist on he was amazed
I’ve never seen anything from you before and I have to say that I’m in love with not just your beautiful voice, but your educated and experienced knowledge of your art. I’m a fan now.
David and Myles Kennedy get a cover of The sound of silence when they were in Houston Texas live I can't remember the date it's hell when you're getting old😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He sang this with a temp of 102° was almost about to cancel. David trained as a Cantor, holds 3 degrees and decided being Jewish in a troubled world to get his messages across .In the vid a boat full of musicians come TOGETHER with the writers to END the silence.What hope there is.
OK we’re at the 1238 point and so far I have really enjoyed your reaction and you were on point as to his comfort zone at tenor the transition was so smooth, especially because he was sick
Both versions are good, but I believe this one is better than the original. The lyrics aren't "light" like Simon and Garfunkle sang it. To me, Disturbed hits the nail on the head with this cover. He sings it with more passion and emotion.
I was teen when Simon & Garfunkel came out, & their style is completely different. When I heard this one (a year ago) it also blew me away and I also like it more than the Simon & Garfunkel version. It is a very touching delivery!
He’s a classically trained Cantor by his Jewish Cantor grandfather- best Cantor ever ❤ Also how do you put a vibrato on a distortion ? He’s phenomenal ❤
Indeed...He had the flue when he performed this. The original music video of the cover is still one of the most moving pieces ever. David D is a amazing human. His compassion and support for mental health is like none other.
* Flu -It's short for the name "Influenza". * A flue is a duct, pipe, or opening in a chimney for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, water heater, boiler, or generator to the outdoors.
@@danieldaponte1819This isn’t the place to correct someone. I’m saying this as a language teacher. What you are doing is showing your superior language/spelling skills. We all knew what he meant.
In an interview on The Charismatic Voice he said that during this performance he actually had a lesion on his vocal chord that he was working around, which he had surgery for a couple of years ago.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, Disturbed does not use autotune, ever! Draiman was really upset when he found out his performance on Conan had been autotuned! I guess the producers of the show use it for all live performances. The band had no clue ahead of time. Still love the original video more!
Yeah, I'd heard he was quite angry about it being there, at all. And yet? I only heard it a couple of times, and only used barely. I'm not sure if his performance would have been as solid without it honestly. But as Peter pointed out, it's just stunning to hear the amount of control over his sound in this for him having a triple digit fever.
Your comment about leaning on character when not up to par was spot on, and has produced some of the best performances. Freddie Mercury's famous LiveAid performance was not advised by his doctor (throat infection; do not sing). LOL "The Show Must Go On".
SERIOUSLY??? HE KILLED IT ON THIS " LIVE " version whether sick or not!!! It gave me goosebumps... brought tears to my eyes and felt it in my HEART AND SOUL!!! THAT'S POWERFUL!!! GOD BLESSED HIM WITH THAT VOICE!!! DON'T YOU HOPEFULLY CAN DO THAT SOME DAY??? IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULLY MIND BLOWING TO ME!
This was a fantastic performance by this metal artist. I think he trained as a Cantor. It is so complex. It sounds so different from the fast, folk style song sung by Simon and Garfunkel in 1964, and different from the Pentatonix version. You, as a professionally trained opera singer, hear very differently than I do, and have the language to describe it. Very educational. Thanks. This viewing on Conan has 139 million views. I think I have watched it 10 times.
David Draiman ...amazing vocals! I really don't know anyone that could sing that well "live" and "sick"! The man can sing... man, he can even put vibrato on distortion! ....which is incredibly difficult to do. Only know a very few that can do that... and they don't do it as well or as frequently. Well done DD!
There is actually another person who can perform life whilst sick, Floor Jansen from Nightwish. She was sick during a tour in South America, but still managed to belt out the high notes of Ghost Love Score. ( if you are not familiar with this number, look up the “Wacken 2013 rendition”) Again another (symphonic)metal band. These people just know how to sing! My dream duet ( probably never going to happen) is David Draiman with Floor Jansen, 2 power vocalists.
I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and this blows them out of the water. It's my favorite version ever. The video is fabulous and i cry every time i see it. Very moving
I went to their concert, (I am in my fifties,) I took my daughter, she wasn't familiar with them. When this song first came out, I had to find out who the band was. When I found out it who it was, I took my daughter, Breaking Ben, she loves so I surprised her with the tickets! SHE LOVED THEM, I think more than Breaking Ben. All I can say is, DISTURBED IS AMAZING!!!! They are one of my FAVORITE bands!!!!
Thanks Peter! I’d love to see you react to Australia’s legendary Voice, John Farnham (Elisabeth has also looked at a couple of his songs and swooned 😜). Always do his live versions, never his recorded performances, and if you want a hot tip, start with his performances with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - notably his cover of the Beatles “Help” and “You’re the Voice”. If you enjoy his stuff, he’s known as the man who can sing anything, and even dabbles with opera ‘just for fun’ sometimes and freakin’ nails it! And no matter how much he moves, he hits nearly every note with perfection. See what you make of him 🙂
Please react to Chris Cornell at some point, preferably either "Nothing Compares 2 U" or "Fell on Black Days". They are part of a radio broadcast and done with an acoustic setup. Would love to see your take on one of the best vocalists of his generation.
I've heard performers talk about "stage health" before. Where beforehand and after, you are all but dead, but when its time to take the stage, you somehow muster the ability to nail the performance.
Love it! I think you would also enjoy the band Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson is one of the best metal vocalist ever. Hallowed Be Thy Name would be a great song to check out.
I’m an older (57) patent attorney that loves music. I describe for a living. When I saw your picture with the ball cap and tank, I was expecting a reaction along the lines of “Dude, sick!” Instead I learned more about singing than I ever thought possible. Kudos to you. Liked and subscribed.
David is an absolutely phenomenal performer and human being. All of Disturbed is! I was lucky enough to see them in concert about a month ago, and it was an experience I'll never forget. If you ever get the chance to go to see them live, please do, it will be something you've never experienced before. My one gripe for this performance is that they autotuned him a few times. It's barely noticeable, but I can hear it on a couple of transitions. Even sick as he was, he didn't need the help. He sounded amazing. At any rate, thank you for the excellent analysis and video, Peter! Hugs and love from California!
Thank you Peter for a wonderful analysis. My ears opened up to a few more things. When I first saw this, I was impressed at how much it sounded like the studio version.....then I learned that he was sick during this, and I had even more respect for him....My respect and admiration for him grew even more after watching his interview with Elizabeth. He is such a wonderful person, and great entertainer.
I've loved this song since I first heard Simon and Garfunkel's dreamlike despair of reaching people. The Disturbed version reminds me of frustrated anger that people are blocked from hearing. Both are favorites of mine for different reasons.
I saw panic at the disco a few years back in Portland Oregon. Brendon Urie performed that night with a 103 degree fever cause he had the flu. He even did a backflip off the top platform. His poor voice was really hoarse. Needless to say the next few shows were canceled because he was so ill. The fact that he even tried being that sick was wild.
I have listened to many, many different trainers.... but you.... we're the best to listen to. Your just so perfect with you words and what is happening. Thank you
try to react to the 70s rock singers,they were the best... to Rainbow 'stargazer' a live video in 1976 with Ronnie James DIO the best singer ever in rock history (the master of the vowels, a lot of variations, stamina, color, tone , timbre, this man had all...and he never had a lesson of singing....stunning) th-cam.com/video/rVXy1OhaERY/w-d-xo.html
I usually skip through all the chat and talking just to see people's facial reactions, just to see the joy and surprise. I just listened through all 31 minutes. Thank you for this reaction. Thank you for your knowledge. God speed sir.
I have a question if you didn’t read or hear that he was sick would you have picked it up? I asked this because he was so outstanding that he got a standing ovation, so are you just riding that ferry out because somebody told you or would you have really pick it up Not bashing you I just want an honest answer
Interesting comments.. would love to see you do the same or better (ha).... even well. I know you are educated.. lets hear you do this song vs David Draiman.. rock god!! much love!
Another amazing and full of vocal knowledge video! Thank you so much brother! This is a banger of a song for a non studio version performance and given the circumstances, this was literally phenomenal beyond belief! Thank you once again! I'm gonna be waiting for your next one! Hopefully after Czechia TBG stuff!!! Ayyy!!
According to David in his interview with Elizabeth, this was actually recorded in a single session (three hours, the longest of his career) at the _end_ of an already full day of recording, so no frog-voice tricks; he just normally does have access to that E2. This wasn't just the flu, either. At this time, he was dealing with a chronic lesion on one of his vocal folds. He'd been dealing with it for years, and was used to working around it, but it was flaring up badly. Hospital badly. This performance took a _ton_ of steroids, both ingested and injected, and IIRC he wound up having surgery to fix the lesion not long after.
I got no idea what you are reacting to! I forgot what video it was as you talk so much!! Maybe you could talk more after the video has ended!!!!!!! But pausing every 10 seconds ruins the whole point!
The point is to analyze it, there are plenty other videos from other people that are more reaction if you want that, but me and many people enjoy his analysis so if you don't like it then don't watch it
You might considder checking the version henk poort did for floor jansen on the dutch tv show ' beste zangers' henk is an opera tenor singer and goes totaly out of his comfortzone to add growling or grid to it like david did. Ofcourse he is no david d. But nevertheless it is outstanding.
Yes, I agree. Floor was evidently very fond of David's version with Disturbed, so Henk decided to sing this arrangement for her on the week when the Dutch Beste Zangers 2019 TV show featured songs dedicated to Floor. This version of the performance includes before and after discussions among the cast members with English subtitles added: th-cam.com/video/IT7cYMDDCFQ/w-d-xo.html
Speaking of live performances, I noticed that you haven't done a breakdown of Rammstein. I recommend their performance of "Du Hast" live in Paris. He definitely does a lot of movement, and has a rather deep voice as well.
The point of a reaction is to hear someone's thoughts about something. Him not talking takes away the whole point of that. If you don't like it then don't watch it
Even those of us that grew up with the Simon and Garfunkle version are moved by this version. I cry whenever I hear this
I just saw Disturbed this weekend and David performed this song. He absolutely exceeded my expectations not only with this song, but the entire concert! Such an amazing vocalist! If anyone ever has the opportunity to see them live, I would recommend without reservation!
Total bucket list for me, but catching him in Houston when I have the money is almost impossible
I’m seeing them at Knotfest in Sydney in 2 months and I am LEVITATING with excitement
Better yet, they are one of the few bands that always perform live, never anything but their instruments, including his voice. That's amazing.
Davids cover of this song gives me goosebumps every time. Magnificent. Great analysis as always Peter.
I have seen hundreds of reactions to this. Yours is my fav so far.
You are articulate, calm, clear and interesting to listen too.
I know nothing about singing, vocal technique etc (not that interested really), but your video was a joy to listen too.
Subbed.
Thanks for the walk through of this song! David's voice serves the delivery of each section beautifully. This is truly my favorite version.
My favourite comment about this is that Simon and Garfunkel gave the warning and this is the rage that we didn’t listen.
David’s voice obviously is what makes this song. But can we give it up for the timpani player. This song would be completely different without it. Such a powerful compliment to David’s vocals
Especially considering he only has two drums and has to constantly tune them on the fly.
And how about David singing with the mallets pounding away RIGHT over his shoulder lol
Actually I watched an interview he gave, and what he had is a growth on his vocal chords during this performance. He had it operated on after this, and couldn't talk for 3 months. He said nothing about being sick.
The band decided to do a stripped-down version and when Paul Simon heard this version it's the best cover he's ever heard of this song and he was going to put it down on his playlist on he was amazed

First time seeing one of your videos, and your voice is WOW! do you sing Barry White songs because that is a seriously deep voice!
I'll take it either way -- Studio or LIVE ... Still chilling!!! Don't know that I'd hear a better version ever tbh!!!! Be Safe
This is the best cover ever performed by anyone else. Have always loved this Conan episode
I'm super excited to see/hear your interview with Elizabeth!
Awesome review!
OK we’re at the 1238 point and so far I have really enjoyed your reaction and you were on point as to his comfort zone at tenor the transition was so smooth, especially because he was sick
it's really hard to concentrate on the reaction because of your voice man. i can listen to your voice for..ever.
Both versions are good, but I believe this one is better than the original. The lyrics aren't "light" like Simon and Garfunkle sang it. To me, Disturbed hits the nail on the head with this cover. He sings it with more passion and emotion.
Always my favorite version
yeah he was sick when he did the show
Your voice is KILLER !!!!!!❤
The original is the meditation -- This one is the awakening.
all those ladies in the patron list, i see how this is my guy. hoarder!
I lobe your reactions because i learn a lot but i wish there was less pausing every 2 to 10 seconds and then replaying of the same part 3 to 6 times.
Do you prefer him or Tom Ball singing it?
I was teen when Simon & Garfunkel came out, & their style is completely different. When I heard this one (a year ago) it also blew me away and I also like it more than the Simon & Garfunkel version. It is a very touching delivery!
Same here. I loved the Simon & Garfunkel version. And still do, but I like this one better because he brings so much passion to the song.
Old head here, absolutely agree.@@debbieholoquist2059
He’s a classically trained Cantor by his Jewish Cantor grandfather- best Cantor ever ❤
Also how do you put a vibrato on a distortion ? He’s phenomenal ❤

@HerriCaine Thank you for the correction Karen.
@@johndandrea8034Petty are we. Be thankful for the correction you might have embarrassed yourself elsewhere.
@johnandrea8034 no need to get defensive and call names. Be appreciative that he respectfully educated you. Or tried to.
@@danieldaponte1819This isn’t the place to correct someone. I’m saying this as a language teacher. What you are doing is showing your superior language/spelling skills. We all knew what he meant.
In an interview, he said this song was the hardest thing he had ever performed vocally due to the high tenor cleans. Amazing even while ill.
What is a high tenor cleans?
Doing the high notes without his usual distortion so it's "clean" it isn't distorted in any way
He can sing high tenor cleans
In an interview on The Charismatic Voice he said that during this performance he actually had a lesion on his vocal chord that he was working around, which he had surgery for a couple of years ago.

But as Peter pointed out, it's just stunning to hear the amount of control over his sound in this for him having a triple digit fever.
The impressive fact is that he didn't have the flue.
He admitted in an interview that he had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cords.
Mindblowing.
Your comment about leaning on character when not up to par was spot on, and has produced some of the best performances. Freddie Mercury's famous LiveAid performance was not advised by his doctor (throat infection; do not sing). LOL "The Show Must Go On".
Love, Love, Love Disturbed's version of this sick or not. Love your analysis/reactions. Thanks Peter ❤😊

Best cover of anything... EVER!! :D
It's crazy that his "Flu voice" is better than I've ever dreamt of singing... as a vocalist myself, he just blows me away.
I went to their concert, (I am in my fifties,) I took my daughter, she wasn't familiar with them. When this song first came out, I had to find out who the band was.

🖖🏼🇦🇺
This absolutely elevated David to Rock Divinity Status...and one of the few covers that is unQUESTIONably superior to the original.👌💯💪
Please react to Chris Cornell at some point, preferably either "Nothing Compares 2 U" or "Fell on Black Days". They are part of a radio broadcast and done with an acoustic setup. Would love to see your take on one of the best vocalists of his generation.
David really got "Down with the Sickness" lol
Davids voice is so beautiful. wild to be this good while sick
No matter how often I listen to this song I get goosebumps every single time
Same... doesn't matter how many times. Its just musical deliciousness! So many goosebumps!
I've heard performers talk about "stage health" before. Where beforehand and after, you are all but dead, but when its time to take the stage, you somehow muster the ability to nail the performance.
of course him being sick didn't affect him, he's down with the sickness!
Speaking of singing with choreography. Pink might just be the goat when it comes to that stuff
QUESTION....Peter, do you have the gift of Perfect Pitch. I am always amazed how you can hear a note and tell what it is and the key it is in.
Admit it! HE'S GOT IT MASTERED!!! HE'S FREAKING AWESOME!!! 😲👍HE'S IN TUNE!!! OF SILENCE!!!
Love it! I think you would also enjoy the band Iron Maiden. Bruce Dickinson is one of the best metal vocalist ever. Hallowed Be Thy Name would be a great song to check out.
An especially good suggestion considering how Bruce sings while running and jumping all over the place. "Vocal stability" with a twist.
My best explanation is that Disturbed's version speaks to the modern culture, whereas Simon & Garfunkel spoke to their generation.
I’m an older (57) patent attorney that loves music. I describe for a living. When I saw your picture with the ball cap and tank, I was expecting a reaction along the lines of “Dude, sick!” Instead I learned more about singing than I ever thought possible. Kudos to you. Liked and subscribed.

I read a few times from people that he wasn’t happy that they added auto tune, he didn’t ask for it but they did it anyway he was fuming.
@@sharonclark4002 I don't blame him, he has been doing this for decades without auto tune I'd be fuming too

Can you not stop every 10 seconds to what he did wrong, FML, listen to a decent chunk before talking
When he says at the start we might not get the best performance because he was sick 🤣🤣🤣 oh my sweet Summer child
😂😂😂
God: Do you want to sound like a demon or an angel.
David: yes

I asked this because he was so outstanding that he got a standing ovation, so are you just riding that ferry out because somebody told you or would you have really pick it up Not bashing you I just want an honest answer
Perhaps listen to a verse instead of pausing every 5!seconds?
You may already be aware that David was trained to be a cantor so his mid to low range is pretty developed. Thanks, Peter!
"... People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening..."
Interesting comments.. would love to see you do the same or better (ha).... even well. I know you are educated.. lets hear you do this song vs David Draiman.. rock god!! much love!
I grew up with the Simon and Garfunkel version, but David's powerful performance has me loving both.
Too many interruptions. SHUT UP!
Look up his duet with Myles Kennedy - live in Dallas, I believe. I’d love to hear that review.
It is heavenly! Didn’t think this could be improved on, but the two of them 🤯
Extremely emotional version. Love it.
I think you need to hear before critiquing 🤯😡
I think this is better than the recorded version

Yes, I love the original video of this. Very powerful. In a way I have not heard “Sound of Silence” performed before.
Just listen to the official video. The visuals are amazing
he studied classical and opera
For those of us who did grow up with the original, many love this version better.
just found this version... you didnt wait didya? wait a fuging minute
He is classically trained and started singing as a young boy in synagogue as a cantor.
