Yes , we can listen to the music any time , uninterrupted and nobody talking over it . But , we would miss Doug's insight and analysis , which is the purpose of this channel . I think it's worth a bit of sacrilege at the least .
The awareness to acknowledge one’s maturity/ “different opinions “, in a review of who we are and who we “where “ is insightful and intelligent. Love this Doug, Rock on my guy!!!!
I remember you reviewing this , also your first Maiden and Devin Townsend. Hadn't realised it's been that long , how time flies when you listen to good music. Doug thank you .
Always loved David Draiman's voice since Disturbed's first album dropped, and they all really are incredible musicians. Can't wait to see them live again, and hope they play this song.
There is another live version out there from a concert where he duets this song with Miles Kennedy. They sound great together and you get some of the classic harmonies with the new style.
Super congrats on 2 million views on SoS. i have been here for the majority of your journey. Love your reactions and insight to the music. Keep up the excellent reactions.
The TH-cam channel The Charismatic Voice did an interview with David Draiman years ago, and he said he had a lesion on his vocal cord but didn’t want to cancel their performance on Conan. David was disappointed in his performance that night. I must say, he’s the only one disappointed by that performance. He was amazing!!
I watched that reaction back in February 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed it, around the time I subscribed to the channel. I also very much enjoyed this reaction to that reaction. I also joined your Patreon later in 2021. So, Doug, thanks for all that you do, and thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Such a fabulous presentation of that song either way. David's voice is extraordinary. I have a particular fondness for those lower voices. Thanks for visiting these 2 versions.
One of the problems with the live performance is that the TV show producers insisted he was autotuned. Even if it's not heavily processed, it colours the timbre. He was pissed about it but didn't have any say in the matter.
David Draiman stands out as a great vocalist because of the nuances of his NATURAL voice. Autotune and Pitch Correction brings singers like David Draiman down to the level of lesser singers.
Looking forward to THIS video getting a Doug reaction when it hits 2 million, so Doug can react to himself reacting to himself reacting to this song. 😂
I know the performance from Conan is very popular but I think their performance with Myles Kennedy is even better. Definitely worth checking out, maybe when your original reaction hits 3 million!
It’s interesting to hear from Simon and Garfunkel their reaction to this cover. They actually wanted their version to sound closer to what Disturbed did instead of the version we got which is what their label wanted.
I laughed when you were freaking out about stopping the music. I feel that way every time a person who is doing reactions videos, does that! It's like "Stop interrupting the music and listen. It will tell you the story!" I love this version of the song more than Simon and Garfunkel's version. I think David showed the frustration that people didn't get the message from the first performance by S&G.
Doug you should listen to the band White Lion. The guitarist Vito Bratta in his melodic phrasing and his memerable solos and I think you would really enjoy them
One song I'd love to hear your take on is "Underground" by Cody Fry. It's one of the first songs I ever listened to that truly left an impact on me and was actually what inspired me to get into composing myself. I think it's truly a beautiful track and, as I said, I'd love to hear you react to it and discuss it. Anyways, thanks for all the great content! You're probably my favorite music reaction/analysis channels
Sorry I had to drop, power cut. Doug please check out Corvyx’s cover of Sound of Silence . Please I have asked before and I know you’re busy but it’s worth a watch I promise you that. ❤
My only issue with this song isn't actually the singing, its the instrumentation. The Sound of Silence really effectively uses its soundscape- it almost stands equal to the singing itself. Honestly the production in general is a driving force behind what elevates the song. The studio version for DISTURBED was, in my opinion, trying to be a bit too grande in its instrumentation and didn't use space as well. I think that flattened the song out for me. However, I had never heard the live version. Now I wish there was a version that was half way inbetween the two (and with studio production) because I think I'd actually really like that version of the song.
He stopped it way too often back then but at least he didn't insist on inserting a box of rice into everything. The herb is perfectly acceptable but I have often left a post due to the cereal.
Please react to "Sogno di Volare" by Christopher Tin from Civilization IV, it's a classical composed masterpiece for the most famous 4x-game from Sid Meier. ❤❤❤
I love this cover but he blew one word, substitutes "on" for "of", a little liberty taken but you should not change perfection. Other than that, its great! Congratulation on 2 million views Doug! PS he fixes it in the live version!
I must say, truly, that music saved my life. I love sitting and listening to music with others who appreciate it and get the emotions and feelings that I experience when hearing great tunes. I am really appreciative of this channel, Doug. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with us all. Blessings.
I don't quite remember when I started regularly following your channel -- must be some time in 2021. This is the oldest reaction by you that I watched according to my TH-cam history.
Hello Doug! I have a suggestion,old song, very progessiv. Pekka Pohjola th-cam.com/video/I1qrakmvXcg/w-d-xo.html. He turned down Frank Zappa with the line "to much bullshit", I think he wrote this one together with Mike Oldfield. A Masterpiece. Brilliant bassplayer.
I LOVED that! I'd forgotten how hearing the original (for the first time) several years ago just blew me away. One of the best examples, surely, of how if you are going to cover a loved and popular track, do it YOUR way. We had another GREAT example the other day with Nazareth's superb cover of "This Flight Tonight". And tonight's live version was at least as good as the studio one. Thanks Doug!!
Pardon me if this has already been pointed out, but in the interview with Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charasmatic Voice) and David Draiman of Disturbed .... David stated that during the live performance of The Sound Of Silence on Conan O'Brian .... he had a lesion on one of his vocal cords - hence the notable difference from the studio version vs the live performance .... Of course this would explain the differences between the two recordings. I still think the live performance is unequivocally the best live version of any song in existence.
I actually don't mind the stops as you need time to analyze what you're hearing and share it. Anyway, you're already talking on top of it so the song has to be spoiled. You can't have both a thorough analysis AND the song
@@Doug.Helvering I never knew that before. And so, that must make the amazing success of your online channels all the more uplifting - and justifiably so - for you and Meg? Doug, you are one of several creators I subscribe to and admire who, in recent weeks have said something very similar about themselves. It's really refreshing to see how online and social media can prove such a power for really great, positive outcomes, not just the too widely-publicised problem outcomes? Especially after hearing such a wonderful interpretation of that song just now.
I do like this new style of letting the music play all the way through. It's funny, the videos on The Charismatic voice are about the same length, and the way she does it with the pauses, I think you lose a bit of something from it - the vibes, though maybe that's better for in-the-moment vocal analysis. Anyway, like I say, I prefer it this way with the backstory at the start and the summary at the end. Also, great song, despite what I think of David.
I hate that SoS was autotuned on Conan Show. Totally unnecessary and it loses the real feeling of David Draiman's voice. Of course it was "lighter". If he was ill he could have mimed to original Disturbed recording or cancelled the performance. His voice is too good to be autotuned.
Ugh. The Conan performance is so difficult to watch. David Draiman was sick with a fever, so the producers auto-tuned it. It's like listening to nails on a chalkboard, it sounds so mechanical and artificial.
No doubt that David has a great voice. But: The original is pure magic: sad, yet happy, light and easy but deep all at the sime time - wonderful! Compared to the original song, this cover sounds just pathetic to me. 🤷♂️

Big thanks 🙏
Yes , we can listen to the music any time , uninterrupted and nobody talking over it .
But , we would miss Doug's insight and analysis , which is the purpose of this channel .
I think it's worth a bit of sacrilege at the least .
"He stopped it again!" lol. Doug is great. Both of them! 🤣
"He stopped it again" 🤣🤣
When you criticize yourself 🤣
Now it a certain other classically-trained reactor would also stop stopping the videos. 😂
@@WayneKitching yes lol
Seeing you come around on the distortion warms my heart.
I legit burst out laughing at your own reaction to yourself stopping the video at around the 12min mark! This is fun.
Thanks Doug. Another great example of why I so enjoy your channels. And of how the internet and social media can be such a power for good
Thank you so much, Adrian! I am truly thankful for your support. I agree, the internet and social media can indeed be a power for good ❤️
Beer money and a joyous celebration of 2 million views!
This is amazing Kellie, thank you so much! We appreciate you so much and are so thankful for your support ❤️
The awareness to acknowledge one’s maturity/ “different opinions “, in a review of who we are and who we “where “ is insightful and intelligent. Love this Doug, Rock on my guy!!!!
I remember you reviewing this , also your first Maiden and Devin Townsend. Hadn't realised it's been that long , how time flies when you listen to good music. Doug thank you .
I think the thing that impresses me the most about David Draiman and Disturbed as a whole is they seem to just get better over time.
Congratulations! Well deserved 🙂
Always loved David Draiman's voice since Disturbed's first album dropped, and they all really are incredible musicians. Can't wait to see them live again, and hope they play this song.
There is another live version out there from a concert where he duets this song with Miles Kennedy. They sound great together and you get some of the classic harmonies with the new style.
yeah, the duet version is awesome.
The live version is phenomenal ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I think I prefer it because it’s so authentic, and powerful ❤️🔥
This was so funny 😂 your reactions to yourself are priceless

Yeah I thought you can just catch it in the quieter high bit but it’s still a stellar performance.
David Draiman stands out as a great vocalist because of the nuances of his NATURAL voice. Autotune and Pitch Correction brings singers like David Draiman down to the level of lesser singers.
How dose it feel to see you in the past and how much you changed and how much better you got at reacting
Another 2m views and I want to see you reacting to you reacting to you reacting to Disturbed.

funky headphones design
I've seen "Disturbed" in concert at least 3 or 4 times , WOW ! 😲
More reactors should do this. It's all about growth.
Love Love Love this re-reaction. So dang funny. Made me laugh and smile :)

Doug, you should check out their version with Myles Kennedy as special guest.
gotta do sabbaths master of reality album !!
Two million? That's a nation, mate.
Hi from the deep south....of England. 😁
Such a good live version, they also do a decent version of Land of confusion by Genesis
Can't wait until he reacts to his reaction of his reaction
Can't wait for the Re-Re-Reacting to DISTURBED at 3 million.
😆😆
congats to the 2 millions ;D greetings from bavaria
Hey Doug, please react to "Galneryus - Angel of Salvation" They're a Japanese Neo-Classical Power Metal band from Japan!!
Doug you should listen to the band White Lion. The guitarist Vito Bratta in his melodic phrasing and his memerable solos and I think you would really enjoy them
Liked the correction
The official video has had over 1 BILLION views.😮
Hey Doug! You should really check out the Soundtrack of a video game called "Metaphor: ReFantazio" !
Nice to see 7th son of the 7th son album on the wall
You stopped it just when it was getting good, now you know how we feel :)

Not to bad, better than i expected, thanks for tip😁
I recently watched your reaction to Dance of Eternity, another early reaction video. I’d be interested to see your reaction to your original reaction!
Nice re-reaction.
I am more partial to the Conan show live version. Even if he was a bit sick while performing.
My only issue with this song isn't actually the singing, its the instrumentation. The Sound of Silence really effectively uses its soundscape- it almost stands equal to the singing itself. Honestly the production in general is a driving force behind what elevates the song.

6:30 For reaction
Running tracks
He stopped it way too often back then but at least he didn't insist on inserting a box of rice into everything. The herb is perfectly acceptable but I have often left a post due to the cereal.
If you like live performances try Stephen Stills Manassas. I like “Jet Set”. But you pick one. I like them all.
Please please have a listen to Nick Drake Doug. His story and music will break your heart. Love from the U.K. x
Re-reactions? Is this the new meta? If so, I'm going to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-react to Dua Lipa's video for "Physical."
Should I come back for the reaction to the reaction of the reactin video?
All in due time I'm sure
Please react to "Sogno di Volare" by Christopher Tin from Civilization IV, it's a classical composed masterpiece for the most famous 4x-game from Sid Meier. ❤❤❤
My take on the "Sound of Silence" - th-cam.com/video/BvT6zwjC-0A/w-d-xo.html
Whoa
Should do the same wit Holy Wars by Megadeth, i felt SO sad by your reaction
It's validating for you to acknowledge how annoying the stops are.
You should really check out Wintersun
I love this cover but he blew one word, substitutes "on" for "of", a little liberty taken but you should not change perfection. Other than that, its great! Congratulation on 2 million views Doug! PS he fixes it in the live version!
Is that double-Doug, or Doug squared? 😂
I must say, truly, that music saved my life. I love sitting and listening to music with others who appreciate it and get the emotions and feelings that I experience when hearing great tunes. I am really appreciative of this channel, Doug. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with us all. Blessings.
Can you react to Grausamkeit - krâtze? İt contains many beatiful parts that im sure you would like.
I love all of Doug’s videos, even when I can’t stand the music, this being a perfect example.

Doug, I tried to send a Tweet to you, but you deleted your account?!?! Anyway, try "The Light" by Disturbed, found it very uplifting.
Somehow you look younger now
I was coming out of some major emotional and professional trauma. The Daily Doug was my own path out of that.

He isn't that good of a singer. He is autotuned. Matter of fact, the autotuning is so tight there is zero natural pitch wavering of the voice.
I really dislike the cover.
