FUN FACT: David Draiman was a healthcare facility administrator for 5 years before he answered an ad Disturbed placed in a local music publication in Chicago looking for a vocalist.
I'm an 80 year old grandma... soon 81 ... big fan of disturbed ...just watched full video of a concert they had here a while back in Pennsylvania... David has such good control over his voice... if he didn't he wouldn't have been singing all these years... he would have ruined his vocal chords ... glad you appreciate him thank you for for your reaction th this video
Bethany, are you becoming...a METALHEAD? I can see signs of it happening. And, believe me, you wouldn't be the first classically trained vocalist to go down that rabbit hole.
To do that, wouldn't she have to listen to actual metal? No, this is a big step for her and I hope she is sincere in her enjoyment...she could be opening up a different world, okay, a somewhat different world, from her more mainstream stuff...
I like the way you said this even more, knowing that one example of a classically trained vocalist who got into this genre of music is the guy she's reacting to right now.
Mosh pit etiquette dictates that you help anyone up who falls. If someone goes down, you pick their ass up. Yes, that's right. Etiquette. In mosh pits. ;)
I love Disturbed live because David is classically trained. He knows how to project over an audience with or without a mic. He stays grounded and dirty like a metal artist but uses that training when it works for him.
Man, the first time I heard THE RANT and OHH WAH AH AH AH in my car in 2000 when the album came out and I bought it at 19 years old, I laughed my ass off for a solid 5 minutes and just kept replaying it. 😂😂😂
I find it noteworthy that a Jewish man got a whole field of Germans to raise one hand.!!! How times change??!!!! On a side note, did you know that David was trained to be a Cantor. YES the man can SING!!!! I SO enjoy your channel. So thank you and have a great New Year!!!!!
As a former classical singer myself I'll tell you there's tons of amazing metal singers. It's actually what drew me to the genre as some have more classical type of methods. Check out Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. The song Hallowed Be Thy Name is a good one. I like Live in Rio. Also Geoff Tate from Queensryche especially in the 80s and early 90s. Check out Take Hold of the Flame or Queen of the Reich..both live in Tokyo 1984
I would also say she needs to hear Eyes of a Stranger and I Don't Believe in Love (2 of my personal favorites). In fact, I'd recommend the entirety of Operation Mindcrime.
They don't call 'em "professionals" for nothing! Him and Maynard James Keenan are amazing! The subtle nuances embellished with such power is amazing! How do they exude sooo much energy for hours, nite after nite?!? Incredible!
Great reaction. Another legendary metal vocalist to check out is Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. One of the best songs to hear his range is Hallowed Be Thy Name.
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!! yeah Hallowed be thy Name is a perfect song to start with. Do the live flight 666 tour. Iron Maiden is better live than studio. Great reaction.
I like how you (and other vocal coaches) all note how you're not trained in this style of singing, but still appreciate the talent and skill and training that is involved in it. As a kid I remember parents saying rock/heavy metal was just screaming/noise. You're breaking down that "noise" to the singing techniques involved. I think you'd LOVE Brent Smith of Shinedown. My personal favorite of his is Lynard Skynard cover of "Simple Man" Although "45" and "Second Chance" are to excellent songs to react to.
Great reaction! Like you, I've not had a lot of exposure to Disturbed, but they are a TIGHT band, and Draiman's voice is so unique. I just love your reactions. :)
Mosh pits - if you fall over in the mosh pit, within a couple of seconds you'll have 2 or 3 people grab you and pull you up. IMO it's a lot safer than it looks. The edge of the mosh pit is a good place to stand because the clear space means that you get a much better view of the stage. Disturbed is one of my favourite bands, I've seen them live and it's amazing.
I'm always hipnotized by your facial expressions - you can feel and see the different colors of singers voice. I really love that in your reaction videos
I just found your channel 4 videos ago and have just watched back to back Disturbed reactions and I'm not sure how or why your channel came up but am so soooooooo very glad it did. As a former drummer, violist, cellist, percussionist, bassist and vocalist it earns my hearty too see people experience new things, give expert opinion about what is being seen heard,and most importantly respecting the talent displayed. You are amazing at this and I'm looking forward to experiencing more musical performances with your beautiful insight. Thank you
"Ten Thousand Fists" is a great showcase of David's range IMO. Sounds like it also might be time to delve into Ronnie James Dio - I would suggest starting with "The Last in Line" and "Holy Diver" from his solo work, and then "Heaven and Hell" and "Children of the Sea" from his time in Black Sabbath (he replaced Ozzy Osbourne).
You should really check out his live concert performing Sound of Silence with Myles Kennedy. It's a great performance. Disturbed has such a huge catalog of great songs, including some great covers. But one I would definitely recommend would be "The Light". Then from there "Hold on to the Memories", "The Vengeful One", "Stricken", "Indestructible", "Land of Confusion", " Inside the Fire", "Stupify", "The Night", "Ten Thousand Fists", "Prayer", "Asylum", "The Infection", "The Game", "Another Way to Die", "Haunted ", "Voices", "Decadence", "The Animal". And many, many more. They are a great band!
I love that you’ve taken this on, and I’m happy that you are really appreciating what this band puts into their stuff- congratulations on making the transition!
I've been to a few Disturbed concerts. They put on one heck of a show. You can hear David's voice nicely over the instruments and crowd. They do a wonderful job of keeping the crowd entertained as well. You have been bitten by the sickness, welcome to being a part of Disturbed. Keep going down the heavy metal genre of music. There are many great singers and bands to listen to. Maynard from Tool will surprise you. Geoff Tate from Queensryche is amazing. Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust is inspiring. Enjoy
Chris Cornell, live with 'Nothing Compares to You' also is a performance to react to. His voice I think one of the greatest rock voices ever .. saw him perform live years ago. Amazing! Definitely another one to react to. Please and thank you!
Some 10 or 12 years ago, Disturbs concerts had to be postponed, becaus Davids vocal cords were damaged. I think it took almost a year until the tour could be continued. After that he concentrated more on his voice, as far as I know. Its a long time ago :) Great reaction and seeing your joy watching it!
Awesome reaction. You definitely know Disturbed songs from the 1st Lyrics, David's voice is unlike any other, immediate recognition. Other songs I think you may want to listen to Stricken, may all time Fav from them. The Light, Who Taught you how to hate, they have so many good ones you can't go wrong, Enjoy. They do Sound of Silence in the middle of every concert and end with DWTS. So he does both and they just as good live, seen many of the concerts.
🤘🤘Totally IMPOSSIBLE to headbang or at least bop your head to this one.....🤘🤘 And YES, I love LoVe LOVE David Draimans voice. I have a favorite cover of theirs; LAND OF CONFUSION - the official video. (animated) And a fairly new one; ARE YOU READY? - also official video (short movie.... ish) I never stop being amazed of how well DISTURBED use their platform, and there is no BS from this group, that's for sure😘 Thnx yet again, thnx for a wonderful reaction❣ Have a wonderful weekend all you lovely beings out there❣👋✨✨
He's trained as a Jewish cantor - I so completely hear that influence in this song! Especially this performance, even more than the studio version. He's sooo good!
@@LinguisticSugar You know, I don't know. I've heard both and the styles sound different to my ear, but maybe the training and techniques are the same? I had the impression that cantors in the Jewish faith are more rigorously trained in the ability to hold notes for extended periods of time and use extensive range. But my other limited experience hearing cantoring comes from interactions with a few small local Catholic churches where that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't know enough to know what I don't know, though. So maybe?
Great song...great lyrics...unbelievable voice (and band). Thanks for the reaction! This is on my "cardio" playlist...just turn it up to 11, put my head down and let it eat!
"Remember" by Disturbed is an interesting one where he "flexes" more on his voice than in the album you just heard. Have you heard Linkin Park's "Crawling"? Chester had quite the pipes. "Given up" is also popular, not so much to hear his range but his power.
Just saw them live in August and yes they did The Sound of Silence and it was amazing! David has a voice and a range that is unparalleled. He is also a master at working the audience and pulling you in emotionally.
Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice had a video where they put a camera down metal singer Will Ramos' throat. You might find it an interesting watch on what goes on inside some metal singers to have the abilities they do.
Your reactions are great, and I can visually see you feeling the emotions expressed in this song. Hopefully someone watching your videos has some connection to David, because I'd love to see the both of you sit down together and have him answer the questions you're asking. I've seen Disturbed live a few times, and fortunately one of which was at a smaller venue in Atlantic City... it was an amazing experience!
I am going to see them this summer. I only know this song and the Sound of Silence. It was amazing to find out he was a classically trained cantor. Do you have some favorites that I should check out?
They do perform Sound of Silence at their gigs. There's a video of Myles Kennedy coming on to duet with David at one. A friend went to their show, he said that when they played it the crowd was silent. But Bethany, methinks your inner metalhead is breaking free. Which means Metallica is in your future. Master of Puppets is of course the natural launchpad into the world of the most commercially successful and influential metal band alive. James has a great metal voice. Heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, who have been mentioned in the comments. You will love Bruce if you haven't already heard him. Hallowed be Thy Name from the Beast over Hammersmith show 1982 is a real vocal treat.
Elizabeth from the charismatic voice had an1.5 hour interview with David Draiman and they talked about how he does that without damaging his vocal cords
Ive watched a few of your videos analyzing Disturbed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing them in concert if you EVER get the chance to see the electricity and hear them come alive. He takes TOTAL CONTROL of the show !!! I would not steer you the wrong way, Ive seen them 7 times, they ROCK !!!!!
Love your reaction on this, and also the sound of silence, gives me goosebumps every time listening to them. Since you have tried metal, might as well react on Snuff by Corey Taylor (the lead singer of slipknot), promise that won't disappoint ya😉
I've always loved Draiman's use of his voice almost like a percussion instrument. His work in "Voices" is just wild. It almost doesn't sound like vocals at times. And yet his diction is so impeccable you can still hear the lyrics crystal clear.
I know you like to watch the actual singing, but the video that goes with "the vengeful one" is amazing. The song is great too, but the video is like a miniature film. Definitely worth checking out.
Just found your channel with you reviewing "Sound of Silence" and clicked on this one next. You're by far the best reactor I've watched yet for Disturbed. So genuine and cute. With all due respect of course. Your little laugh and jiggle is great! Of course your knowledge of vocals is amazing too. Keep up the great work!
Land Of Confusion, The Animal, The Light, Indestructible and Another Way To Die are some of Disturbeds best tracks and the official videos are pretty good too 🤘😀
I love your reactions! This will propably show my age now, but you remind me of a mix of a young Annette Benning and Ashley Judd. You're adorable and my daughters both love singing and also love watching your videos. Much love from South Africa
Your enthusiasm to go down the metal rabbit hole is infectious! I've been a metal head for 50 years and might be able to answer your mosh pit questions. There are still mosh pits, they're still called mosh pits (or just "pits"). They're going strong and not going away anytime soon. There are different types of pits, circle pits, walls of death, etc. Believe or not there's pit etiquette too. There's even been legislators that have tried to outlaw mosh pits. If you plan on going to a metal concert or festival and you don't want to be in a pit, I would recommend that you try to keep your head on a swivel because a pit can break out anytime or anywhere. Hope this helps a little. Love your channel!

@@juantimer If not THE top rule! The uninformed see a pit and thinks 'thugs' but there is an over-riding principle of caring for each other - while bouncing off each other at the same time. Having said that, my mate is still missing his glasses from pit back in 1990! LOL!
I paused this video a minute in just to type out that I noticed you already swaying to the drums at the beginning. It's SOOO catchy! I loved seeing you already moving to the beats. Later you talk about the opening instrumentals and how they're intense and exciting. To me they feel very primal and add to that excitement! I do find this version of the song difficult to hear his true vocals during the song though. There's a lot of texture to his voice in this song. Especially in the first verse (Without talking about how clear he sings, which is amazing).
As far as the technicalities of voice distortion are concerned, you may look for Operation: Throat Camera here on YT. Once you see whats happening inside the throat while making these distortions, it becomes apparent why that doesn't nagtively effect your true vocal folds.
The first time I heard their cover of the Sound of Silence I started laughing……. I knew so many pop fans were going to say “ooooo, that’s so beautiful, I want to check out some more Disturbed songs…….” and you know this was probably the first one they found……. aaaggghhhhh!!!
I was there, i have seen this performance, the Crowd was awsome, they have taken all of them from the Sleep. one of the First bands playing on that day.

I am a 57 year old metalhead. When my son was younger, he called this “The Monkey Song” We will make a metalhead out of you, yet!! 🤘
i'm always surprised how vocal coaches are when they hear just how good metal singers are at there craft guess it's because i've known all my listening life.
After seeing your reaction to Sound of Silence, I was REALLY hoping you'd do this one and you didn't disappoint! Great reaction. Where the concert experience is next level, to feel the power of this song, crank up the studio version (kudos to you for understanding some people might be sensitive to the lyrics). They also do a version of If I Ever Lose My Faith in You by Sting. Another vocalist of similar contrasts you might want to give a listen to is Corey Taylor. He's the lead singer for Slipknot (warning: they're pretty intense and the videos can be a bit distracting) as well as Stone Sour. I'd suggest Before I Forget by Slipknot and contrast that with Bother by Stone Sour or the live, acoustic version of Snuff that he does solo. Here's hoping you keep enjoying your journey!
Love David’s voice and have been listening to Disturbed since like 2000. He actually did an interview on how he’s able to sing. I honestly don’t remember who did the interview but it out there.
I saw your review of Sound of Silence and wanted to see how you reacted to this one (I love this song too). It was neat seeing you (who i gather do not generally like metal) start with the metal head bobbing. David Draiman is truly talented and elevates his metal in my opinion. Like James Hetfield (Metallica)... He can SING with that growling and power.
David is an amazing lead vocalist... I love the band... "Inside the Fire" is definitely a song to check out... though watch your heart strings on that... the subject is dark. But the song is amazing. They have so many wonderful songs.
I've seen them live and this is one of only a couple bands I've ever seen that sound almost exactly the same live as they do on a recorded track. David's voice is tremendous.
Still remember seeing them at ozzfest in like 99, 2000 or 2001 i forgot. When they sang droppin plates they threw 1000s of paper plates in the crowd with a distubed logo drawn on them with magic marker
watching you react to sound of silence as your intro to Disturbed and then seeing you go directly to Sickness is amazing and doing a full version of the song too....most i have seen do the edited version of the song and it really takes away from the song in a whole.....a few songs....Dropping Plate, The Game, Vocies
I just ran across your reaction video of disturbeds sound of silence cover, and really enjoyed it! You should do one for TOOL sober live!!!! Please please please please
He has done Sound of Silence in concert. There is actually a great interview with him on TH-cam under the name Tea time interviews. Where he goes into a great deal of detail about his training (he is a classically trained cantor).
The first time I ever listened to Disturbed was at that exact same festival in Germany a few years later, just went to a festival because my friends did not knowing anything about the music, so the first time I ever listened to both Disturbed and SOAD was live in concert 😂 and I was just blown away. Been a fan ever since! There's music that's not for everyone and then there's music that is just-GOOD.
I went to a Disturbed concert that was in a House of Blues, so it was a super small venue, basically standing room only. I stayed near the back to try to not end up in the mosh pit, but it ended up forming directly in front of me. One of the guys ended up getting shoved into me pretty hard and his elbow hit EXTREAMLY hard right against my shoulder. It hurt so bad I'm pretty sure it temp popped out of place...anyways, what I mean to say is it was an AMAZING show and Disturbed was so fucking good, def worth the hurt shoulder and the pain I had afterwards XD.
FUN FACT: David Draiman was a healthcare facility administrator for 5 years before he answered an ad Disturbed placed in a local music publication in Chicago looking for a vocalist.
I read that and said "Yeah, that's a funny joke." Looked it up and actually IT'S FUCKIN TRUE! Like what!? He trained as a Lawyer too! Like what!
I'm an 80 year old grandma... soon 81 ... big fan of disturbed ...just watched full video of a concert they had here a while back in Pennsylvania... David has such good control over his voice... if he didn't he wouldn't have been singing all these years... he would have ruined his vocal chords ... glad you appreciate him thank you for for your reaction th this video
I think I groped ya in the mosh pit. My bad head banging granny. 🤙
Come into the mosh pit
You could be my momma, 66 here, let's go see them!!
was there in hershey in 2019!!!! incredable!!!!! this song means alot to me as i lived through the rough choras!!!!
Granny You Rock, Fricken Awesome!
It's so fascinating to watch someone become a metal fan in real time
Bethany, are you becoming...a METALHEAD? I can see signs of it happening. And, believe me, you wouldn't be the first classically trained vocalist to go down that rabbit hole.
I was thinking the same ahah!
To do that, wouldn't she have to listen to actual metal? No, this is a big step for her and I hope she is sincere in her enjoyment...she could be opening up a different world, okay, a somewhat different world, from her more mainstream stuff...
Ohhhhh she is DEFINITELY on her way down that hole.... eheheh
I like the way you said this even more, knowing that one example of a classically trained vocalist who got into this genre of music is the guy she's reacting to right now.
Watch her head closely, there were the first soft and slight signs of headbanging. I'm sure it's more soon...
Mosh pit etiquette dictates that you help anyone up who falls. If someone goes down, you pick their ass up. Yes, that's right. Etiquette. In mosh pits. ;)
Watch the official video. You cant grasp how powerful his voice is.
I love Disturbed live because David is classically trained. He knows how to project over an audience with or without a mic. He stays grounded and dirty like a metal artist but uses that training when it works for him.
Your face when he went into the rant was priceless
Note:that was not about his own mother whom he loves dearly
Man, the first time I heard THE RANT and OHH WAH AH AH AH in my car in 2000 when the album came out and I bought it at 19 years old, I laughed my ass off for a solid 5 minutes and just kept replaying it. 😂😂😂
I find it noteworthy that a Jewish man got a whole field of Germans to raise one hand.!!! How times change??!!!! On a side note, did you know that David was trained to be a Cantor. YES the man can SING!!!! I SO enjoy your channel. So thank you and have a great New Year!!!!!
Disturbed Kol Nidre when
Lol I thought the same thing lol I was like wow he is doing this is Germany? And they love this Jew lol
As a former classical singer myself I'll tell you there's tons of amazing metal singers. It's actually what drew me to the genre as some have more classical type of methods.
Check out Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. The song Hallowed Be Thy Name is a good one. I like Live in Rio.
Also Geoff Tate from Queensryche especially in the 80s and early 90s. Check out Take Hold of the Flame or Queen of the Reich..both live in Tokyo 1984
I would also say she needs to hear Eyes of a Stranger and I Don't Believe in Love (2 of my personal favorites). In fact, I'd recommend the entirety of Operation Mindcrime.
Bruce Dickenson from Iron Maiden is one of the best.
They don't call 'em "professionals" for nothing! Him and Maynard James Keenan are amazing! The subtle nuances embellished with such power is amazing!
How do they exude sooo much energy for hours, nite after nite?!?
Incredible!
Great reaction. Another legendary metal vocalist to check out is Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. One of the best songs to hear his range is Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Up the irons!!!!!!
Up the Irons!!!!
Millions of Iron Maiden fans are waiting!!! 😂. And yes “Hallowed Be Thy Name” is a good start.
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!! yeah Hallowed be thy Name is a perfect song to start with. Do the live flight 666 tour. Iron Maiden is better live than studio. Great reaction.
Oh yeah. The other one of my vocal heroes, Floor being the other.
I like how you (and other vocal coaches) all note how you're not trained in this style of singing, but still appreciate the talent and skill and training that is involved in it.

Disturbed is one of my favourite bands, I've seen them live and it's amazing.
finally someone who goes all the way and diggs up a version INCLUDING the interlude. Love it. Thank you for this reaction.
Stricken is my favorite Disturbed song. Prayer is also a good one.
I'm always hipnotized by your facial expressions - you can feel and see the different colors of singers voice. I really love that in your reaction videos
I just found your channel 4 videos ago and have just watched back to back Disturbed reactions and I'm not sure how or why your channel came up but am so soooooooo very glad it did.

Serj Tankian is also an awesome singer both solo and with System of a down.
David once said at one of his concerts, " What's the worst you are going to hear here, a little profanity? There are much worse things in the world"
"Ten Thousand Fists" is a great showcase of David's range IMO.
Sounds like it also might be time to delve into Ronnie James Dio - I would suggest starting with "The Last in Line" and "Holy Diver" from his solo work, and then "Heaven and Hell" and "Children of the Sea" from his time in Black Sabbath (he replaced Ozzy Osbourne).
I agree completely about her needing to hear RJD. I would also add in Rainbow in the Dark and Man on the Silver Mountain.
Love Disturbed, we're going to see them in August for the 2nd time and RJD is a legend 🤘🏻
Bethany should check out No Leaf Clover by Metallica 😁🤘🏻
You should really check out his live concert performing Sound of Silence with Myles Kennedy. It's a great performance. Disturbed has such a huge catalog of great songs, including some great covers. But one I would definitely recommend would be "The Light".

Disturbed - Prayer, Remember and Stricken are amazing songs you should check out coming from a long time fan of theirs.
my mom loves this song! She is beating cancer and she is also a big fan OF YOU!
Chris Cornell, live with 'Nothing Compares to You' also is a performance to react to. His voice I think one of the greatest rock voices ever .. saw him perform live years ago. Amazing! Definitely another one to react to. Please and thank you!

I like your appreciation for the music and the voices that you're pulling out of the Rock and roll genre. Thank you!
🤘🤘Totally IMPOSSIBLE to headbang or at least bop your head to this one.....🤘🤘
And YES, I love LoVe LOVE David Draimans voice.
I have a favorite cover of theirs; LAND OF CONFUSION - the official video. (animated)

Oh my goodness!!! 2min and 58 seconds without stopping the video! 😂 I think you set a personal record! Lol
He's trained as a Jewish cantor - I so completely hear that influence in this song! Especially this performance, even more than the studio version. He's sooo good!
I was scrolling down specifically to see if anyone had mentioned this.
Is a Jewish cantor different than a Christian one?
@@LinguisticSugar You know, I don't know. I've heard both and the styles sound different to my ear, but maybe the training and techniques are the same? I had the impression that cantors in the Jewish faith are more rigorously trained in the ability to hold notes for extended periods of time and use extensive range.

I don't know enough to know what I don't know, though. So maybe?
@@LinguisticSugarDepends. Greek Christians chant Byzantine music. Beautiful to hear.
This head-banging music is more like 'Disturbed' typical work and makes their cover of 'Sounds of Silence' all the more remarkable.
The song called (Remember) from Disturbed = very beautiful. So is (prayer) from them. You should look those songs up. He's amazing
Great song...great lyrics...unbelievable voice (and band). Thanks for the reaction! This is on my "cardio" playlist...just turn it up to 11, put my head down and let it eat!

They do perform Sound of Silence at their gigs. There's a video of Myles Kennedy coming on to duet with David at one. A friend went to their show, he said that when they played it the crowd was silent.
But Bethany, methinks your inner metalhead is breaking free. Which means Metallica is in your future. Master of Puppets is of course the natural launchpad into the world of the most commercially successful and influential metal band alive. James has a great metal voice. Heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, who have been mentioned in the comments. You will love Bruce if you haven't already heard him. Hallowed be Thy Name from the Beast over Hammersmith show 1982 is a real vocal treat.
Elizabeth from the charismatic voice had an1.5 hour interview with David Draiman and they talked about how he does that without damaging his vocal cords
Ive watched a few of your videos analyzing Disturbed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing them in concert if you EVER get the chance to see the electricity and hear them come alive. He takes TOTAL CONTROL of the show !!! I would not steer you the wrong way, Ive seen them 7 times, they ROCK !!!!!
Love your reaction on this, and also the sound of silence, gives me goosebumps every time listening to them. Since you have tried metal, might as well react on Snuff by Corey Taylor (the lead singer of slipknot), promise that won't disappoint ya😉
Ive never had so much enjoyment being a part of a crowd as ive been in the presence of Disturbed. Simply outstanding.
I've always loved Draiman's use of his voice almost like a percussion instrument. His work in "Voices" is just wild. It almost doesn't sound like vocals at times. And yet his diction is so impeccable you can still hear the lyrics crystal clear.
your reaction alone makes me smile. Thanks for this wonderful reaction.
He does nothing but relax his vocals after a show he does nothing after hes amazing .
Mosh pits are very therapeutic. I'm 50 years old and I think my first pit was probably when I was around 15. It's a part of the experience
I know you like to watch the actual singing, but the video that goes with "the vengeful one" is amazing. The song is great too, but the video is like a miniature film. Definitely worth checking out.
I love it when someone discovers and is hooked by Disturbed
Just found your channel with you reviewing "Sound of Silence" and clicked on this one next. You're by far the best reactor I've watched yet for Disturbed. So genuine and cute. With all due respect of course. Your little laugh and jiggle is great! Of course your knowledge of vocals is amazing too. Keep up the great work!
That man's voice is a national treasure 💪🏼❤️
#classicallytrained
Yes, he does the sound of silence live, saw him do it twice, was awesome!
He's also playing around with the melody, quite a bit. Nice to see them still making it new and having fun with it.
Land Of Confusion, The Animal, The Light, Indestructible and Another Way To Die are some of Disturbeds best tracks and the official videos are pretty good too 🤘😀
I love when people listen to Sound of Silence for their first Disturbed experience
This is the first time I see someone watching this full version song on youtube =D Please react on "Stricken" by Disturbed. Hello from Moscow ;)
I love your reactions! This will propably show my age now, but you remind me of a mix of a young Annette Benning and Ashley Judd. You're adorable and my daughters both love singing and also love watching your videos. Much love from South Africa
Your enthusiasm to go down the metal rabbit hole is infectious! I've been a metal head for 50 years and might be able to answer your mosh pit questions. There are still mosh pits, they're still called mosh pits (or just "pits"). They're going strong and not going away anytime soon. There are different types of pits, circle pits, walls of death, etc. Believe or not there's pit etiquette too. There's even been legislators that have tried to outlaw mosh pits. If you plan on going to a metal concert or festival and you don't want to be in a pit, I would recommend that you try to keep your head on a swivel because a pit can break out anytime or anywhere.
Hope this helps a little. Love your channel!
and a big piece of pit etiquette is picking up people who fall. one of the top rules.

@@juantimer If not THE top rule! The uninformed see a pit and thinks 'thugs' but there is an over-riding principle of caring for each other - while bouncing off each other at the same time. Having said that, my mate is still missing his glasses from pit back in 1990! LOL!
@@juantimer Words to live life by, when someone falls you pick them up.
I paused this video a minute in just to type out that I noticed you already swaying to the drums at the beginning. It's SOOO catchy! I loved seeing you already moving to the beats.
Later you talk about the opening instrumentals and how they're intense and exciting. To me they feel very primal and add to that excitement!
I do find this version of the song difficult to hear his true vocals during the song though. There's a lot of texture to his voice in this song. Especially in the first verse (Without talking about how clear he sings, which is amazing).
Disturbed song 'the light' is on their fast track to one of my favourites of theirs.
As far as the technicalities of voice distortion are concerned, you may look for Operation: Throat Camera here on YT. Once you see whats happening inside the throat while making these distortions, it becomes apparent why that doesn't nagtively effect your true vocal folds.
The mommy part isn’t about child abuse , it’s a metaphor for the mother culture of mainstream society and how mainstream society treats outcasts
I really think you would enjoy 'Remember' live from Quebec city. This shows more of David's amazing talent
YES! Remember was the first Disturbed song, after hearing SOS, that I fell in love with and that led me to become a Disturbed fan.
it's nice to see young people appreciate metal!
The first time I heard their cover of the Sound of Silence I started laughing……. I knew so many pop fans were going to say “ooooo, that’s so beautiful, I want to check out some more Disturbed songs…….” and you know this was probably the first one they found……. aaaggghhhhh!!!
Excellent. Love your reactions. You should listen to Hold on to Memories by Disturbed.
I was there, i have seen this performance, the Crowd was awsome, they have taken all of them from the Sleep. one of the First bands playing on that day.
I am a 57 year old metalhead. When my son was younger, he called this “The Monkey Song” We will make a metalhead out of you, yet!! 🤘
i'm always surprised how vocal coaches are when they hear just how good metal singers are at there craft guess it's because i've known all my listening life.
I have seen them live great show and so glad I got to see them before everything shut down. They did do the Sound of Silence.
Work your way through their whole collection. personal favorite, "overburdened" really showcases his voice.
One of the best live versions of DWTS!
After seeing your reaction to Sound of Silence, I was REALLY hoping you'd do this one and you didn't disappoint! Great reaction. Where the concert experience is next level, to feel the power of this song, crank up the studio version (kudos to you for understanding some people might be sensitive to the lyrics). They also do a version of If I Ever Lose My Faith in You by Sting.
Another vocalist of similar contrasts you might want to give a listen to is Corey Taylor. He's the lead singer for Slipknot (warning: they're pretty intense and the videos can be a bit distracting) as well as Stone Sour. I'd suggest Before I Forget by Slipknot and contrast that with Bother by Stone Sour or the live, acoustic version of Snuff that he does solo.
Here's hoping you keep enjoying your journey!
Love David’s voice and have been listening to Disturbed since like 2000. He actually did an interview on how he’s able to sing. I honestly don’t remember who did the interview but it out there.
As a lifelong metalhead, I love watching people really experience great metal vocals for the first time. It is such a rich genre of music.
I saw your review of Sound of Silence and wanted to see how you reacted to this one (I love this song too). It was neat seeing you (who i gather do not generally like metal) start with the metal head bobbing. David Draiman is truly talented and elevates his metal in my opinion. Like James Hetfield (Metallica)... He can SING with that growling and power.
Yay!! You listened to it. I know you're mind way blown! From sound of silence to this . That's versatility!!
Love it!!
He did the sound of silence at Graspop metal meeting alongside songs like this in 2017 or 18. And I was there. Soooooo glad I did not miss it!!!!!!!!!
I almost expected you to throw your arms in the air and scream, at the end. I adore listening to him and, I’m 65! Old rocker from way back!🤘🏻
Thank you for doing the full version.
David is an amazing lead vocalist... I love the band... "Inside the Fire" is definitely a song to check out... though watch your heart strings on that... the subject is dark. But the song is amazing. They have so many wonderful songs.
I've seen them live and this is one of only a couple bands I've ever seen that sound almost exactly the same live as they do on a recorded track. David's voice is tremendous.
Still remember seeing them at ozzfest in like 99, 2000 or 2001 i forgot. When they sang droppin plates they threw 1000s of paper plates in the crowd with a distubed logo drawn on them with magic marker
the grit and growl shows passion
Love it, he's a legend and I love your reactions. :)
i love watching classical singers fall in love with metal.
watching you react to sound of silence as your intro to Disturbed and then seeing you go directly to Sickness is amazing and doing a full version of the song too....most i have seen do the edited version of the song and it really takes away from the song in a whole.....a few songs....Dropping Plate, The Game, Vocies
Great Reaction. Loved hearing your thoughts on this song. I wish you the best of luck on your musical journey.❤️✌️🌼
I JUST LOVE YOUR REACTIONS !!
I just ran across your reaction video of disturbeds sound of silence cover, and really enjoyed it! You should do one for TOOL sober live!!!! Please please please please
thanks for subtitling everything, you're great 😁 💕
give this a listen Disturbed - Hold on to Memories
He has done Sound of Silence in concert. There is actually a great interview with him on TH-cam under the name Tea time interviews. Where he goes into a great deal of detail about his training (he is a classically trained cantor).
The first time I ever listened to Disturbed was at that exact same festival in Germany a few years later, just went to a festival because my friends did not knowing anything about the music, so the first time I ever listened to both Disturbed and SOAD was live in concert 😂 and I was just blown away. Been a fan ever since! There's music that's not for everyone and then there's music that is just-GOOD.
I went to a Disturbed concert that was in a House of Blues, so it was a super small venue, basically standing room only. I stayed near the back to try to not end up in the mosh pit, but it ended up forming directly in front of me. One of the guys ended up getting shoved into me pretty hard and his elbow hit EXTREAMLY hard right against my shoulder. It hurt so bad I'm pretty sure it temp popped out of place...anyways, what I mean to say is it was an AMAZING show and Disturbed was so fucking good, def worth the hurt shoulder and the pain I had afterwards XD.
