The best thing I've heard about disturbed version is Simon and Garfunkels version was a warning an disturbed version is the rage for the warning being ignored
I love this version because of the cognitive dissonance he actually mentions in the video here. One is one version of the song shares the warning, one shares the rage for people ignoring the warning, and according to another reply here a third version is the hope that people will stop ignoring the warning. This song makes me think of that concept of feeling like you are screaming at the top of your lungs, but you never make a f****** sound or nobody can hear you if you do. That's the feeling I get from this song, and that's why I love it so much. I love it light years more than Simon and Garfunkel's just because of that sound.
Conan O’Brien stated in an interview that in the 20 years of his show’s run, that was the first time a music act not only left the audience in stunned silence but also his crew. Even crew members who worked ‘backstage’ stopped what they were doing and silently stood around the stage to watch and listen. And to think Draiman performed with a lesion on a vocal cord…
Unfortunately they did use it (they say the experts can clearly hear it) & allegedly he was mighty pissed off, because he nailed it and any 'wobbles' were ironically causes by the AT - the producers didn't want to take any chances because he was so ill, tho. Paul Simon himself reached out & said it was the best version he'd ever heard - so, any other praise is just gravy...@PatricKelly-xb2ir
Goosebumps every time I hear this verson. David trained to be a Cantor before becoming a rock star. In Judaism, a cantor sings solo verses during prayer, to which the congregation responds. It's a very demanding & technical type of singing.
All that is absolutely correct! But, during a Disturbed break, David decided to go back to basics and took vocal lessons in operatic range so that he wouldn't damage his vocal cords any further.
He also said that he was getting flack from Garfunkel for doing that but he wrote the song by his self (Simon) at his house, so that left nothing to argue about
Simon never said Disturbed´s version was the best. He sent them a message saying "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks"
I believe Disturbed's cover is the best. It was amazing that Paul Simon called or texted David after this performance to tell him how proud he was that David put out the meaning that was meant to be. You should check out the actual video of this song. It really gives David's (Disturbed's) meaning. It starts out like a musical graveyard, very silent. Hope you watch it. Loved your reaction ❤
Ah, excellent, you beat me to it. I always recommend that any reactor that does one or the other of the versions, and *loves* it in all the right ways that they absolutely need to go watch the other version. I call them versions because ..... the texture and feeling of the two renditions of the same song and the same vocals are so radically different. This one makes me think of a campfire, where a singer/storyteller has their turn up to entertain the group, and this is what he sings. The music video version is much more visual, story-rich, and drives home the core reason that this song is the anger that the original warning was ignored. That the musicians (yes, this is what the name of people who play instruments is :) ) have to pick up the pieces of the devastation and try, yet again. It's literally filling in so much to have both versions of this, and I feel truly blessed that they happened in my lifetime from such an amazing group and performer.
I don’t think there will ever be a better cover of sound of silence. His voice and rendition was just so perfect for this. I can’t imagine anyone being able to do this in the same way
This is about the 30th time watching people react. It still gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I don't listen to Disturbed. And I've heard this song on the radio a million times. I heard it but apparently I never got it. When Disturbed does this, it makes me pissed off. Or hurt? It should be our anthem.
Something even more impressive about this performance is that David was actually sick with some sort of respiratory illness when he did this performance. He himself has said that he can hear how congested he was through the whole thing... I 100% recommend that you go watch the official music video, because it's AMAZING. Both vocally and visually.
He actually had lesions on his vocal chords and was putting off surgery because it could have ended his career if something went wrong during the surgery. Lesions are painful and David is a legend with his voice!
I really wish you’d watched the official video version as the graphics explain his interpretation of the song. I urge to you to watch it now; if this version moved you, the official version will blow your mind my friend!
I love Disturbed cover The Sound of Silence. Simon and Garfunkel had talked about that this is the best cover of their song. What’s more amazing was during this live show David was very sick and he still sounded this amazing and clear.
Congratulations sir, you win the best reaction to this I have seen. And I've watched dozens of them, I'm one of many that look for new reactions to this every now and then (because we can't watch it for the first time ourselves again so we want to watch others experience it for the first time)
This is the first time I've listened to this song since it was played at my dad's funeral. I've been avoiding it for 6 years. Disturbed were my dad's favourite band & when they released this song we instantly knew it was meant for dad. I don't know if I'm ready to watch the performance directly yet, but I am glad I watched your reaction to it... like gently easing myself back in.
this IS the most powerful, emotive, haunting version you'll ever hear! nobody can ever tell me they've heard a better version because i'll never believe them!
Ive found that singers with the most beautiful voices tend to be ones that scream. When you find a song where they sing, it's amazing. I think because it takes a lot of talent to pull off that grit sound.
Someone else may have already commented on this, but David Draiman was sick during this performance. He had some sort of flu and running a high fever. It makes the performance all the more amazing to me. I do think the MV with its images is even more powerful. It’s one of my all time favorite MVs of any genre.
I cry, as a 57 year old man every time I hear this rendition...so powerful.I remember so fondly how my mom (who has since passed away) and me regaling about how beautiful Dave Draimond's version is.
I absolutely loved the original song by Simon and Garfunkel, so I wasn't thrilled when I heard Disturbed, of all bands, had done a cover. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this performance. I still get goose bumps every time. They did an AMAZING job! This song is still so relevant and I just love what they did with it. ❤❤ It's as if Simon and Garfunkel issued a gentle reminder and Disturbed are screaming an urgent warning.
David Drainman has such a phenomenal voice. Disturbed's song "The Light" is another one that shows off his range and talent, not to mention one hell of a message. Also "A Reason to Fight" is another one that just will blow you away. Sound of Silence is one of my all time favorite songs, and i love their cover of it. Disturbed is definitely rock /metal, don't get me wrong, but they do have some others where they just slow it down, peel it back and just leave you feeling raw like "Hold on to the Memories" which was written as a way of them trying to console those dealing with grief. Now harder stuff from them, "Down with the Sickness" was a good start, but theres "Indestructible", "Ten Thousand Fists", "Prayer", "Bad Man", "Only the Best Ones Lie", "Inside the Fire", I could go on and on lol. Regardless, I hope you enjoy your journey into metal and rock!
The first time I heard this cover, I was at work and it came on the radio. I’ve been a Disturbed fan for a little over a decade and it was not a song I ever expected them to cover. I was very grateful to have been closing the store on my own because I was did tear up listening to it. There’s so much emotion in this cover and it’s so striking.
Fellow STAY here!! I absolutely love the way Disturbed brought the frustration out in this song. Beautiful song. Beautiful cover. Your reaction is mine the first time I heard this.
Teddy, I can tell just how much you were feeling this song because of how you DIDN’T stop it while listening. It is a very powerful song and absolutely emotional every time I hear it. They are my absolute favorite band! David is amazingly talented.
YESSSSSSSSS!! Ok so now that I've finished watching. First, this is my first time hearing/watching him do it live and it HITS DIFFERENT!!! I CRIED! Second, I have been dying to watch you react to this song by this band. The POWER in that third verse when he adds that GRIT to his voice just 🤌😭🥶
tell you what fella, your reaction , was me 3 yrs ago, im a 90s raver, then happened upon this song, and jeeeeeeeez, ive been checking back each month, and this is the nearest reaction to me-self,3 yrs ago, i never thought id like this kind of music, but this is different
Sounds very similar to me! You just get stuck in an echo chamber and never venture out of your comfort zone then boom, it really hits you with a song like this!
That "look around" was not at the crowd...it was David shooting an angry glare at Conan's audio engineer for adding some autotune to his microphone. David was pissed off about that.
For any of you wondering, here’s a link to the cover of ‘The Sound of Silence’ that first got me hooked on the song! th-cam.com/video/48ctczjFdQE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JXPMlNgnUYjY5ONn - if you do end up listening to it, come back to this comment and let me know what you think to it! 🫶
Havent heard this version before. I found the slowe pace of this one makes it sadder more sorrowful. Where as i find the Penatonix verion to be more uplifting and All Angels version to be peacefull
Wow this is very creative ! Sounds synthetic and raw at the same time, the layers of voices are disturbing and harmonic at the same time, it all makes the song very "alive" and put another emotion to the song. Thank you for sharing this :)
@@aimeecook9510 it’s so amazing how the same lyrics can be made to be so different! Covers, when done with soul and purpose, are often more beautiful than the original because they take on the original form, plus the added layer of whatever they bring to it 🤌
@@zosha. thank you for checking it out and I think you’re so right! James Blake is one of my favourite artists, ever. If you liked that you’ll probably like this one too : th-cam.com/video/MR-STh8jECU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=isist7oRWS-32IQK 🫶
alot of rock / metal singers sound AMAZING in this type of accoustic/slow songs , their voices are so unique and powerfull compared to pop singers , yet so beautifull
This is the best version of this song. The vocal quality along with the orchestrated background is genius and brings out the meaning of the words. A triumph.
Ive seen this cover probably 100 times since it erupted into the light. Without fail i get goosebumps and choked with emotion. His voice does the lyrics such justice. Once again you share your raw and unfiltered expressions and its beautiful like always.
I have seen this so many times I will never get tired of it David and everyone involved it is the most perfect performance I have seen in my life and it literally gives you goosebumps 🙂
I didn’t think I had any tears left, and then when I hear him again, the water works come. My soul keeps purging out deep soul emotion that seems to never end. This song, man, and performance, has impacted my existence.
Makes me cry everytime! The pain and rage in his voice is so palpable. This is what it do universal about music is the pain, soul, and emotion singers portray that connects with all human nature.
l never knew about Disturbed until I watched a cover version of a Genisis song Land Of Confusion,then I found the video of this cover of Sound Of Silence,I was brought up with the original song but this version brought tears to my eye's,it is one of the most powerful versions of this song l have ever heard.
Don't worry my friend, each of us has reacted the same way, with tears, and goosebumps, and mentally stunned. Welcome to the club. Loved your honesty and vulnerability. And that you recognized David Draiman's incredible skill and vocal ability. I have subscribed.
I only recently discovered your channel and was very pleasantly surprised to see you drop this one today! The Conan and the music video versions always bring me to tears when I have them blasting. You could tell that this song meant a lot to him, David, and that he wanted to send a message and leave a lasting impression with this song choice.
I had already heard Disturbed’s cover for this, so when you said “I’m expecting a lot of screaming” during the intro… I thought to myself “hehehe, just wait, you’re in for a surprise”. It’s like Falling in Reverse’s Last Resort (reimagined)… amazing how a “heavy” band can cover something so beautifully

I am a black metal fan but this song by the Disturbed always give you a tear. If magic exist... this is it!!!
🤍
I personally prefer the video version.... the visuals together with his voice is breathtaking.
Cry every dang time 👏👏👏👏
Sit in a room in the dark, close your eyes and play this song. You feel it even more in your soul
The best thing I've heard about disturbed version is Simon and Garfunkels version was a warning an disturbed version is the rage for the warning being ignored
Pentatonix’s version is considered the hope for the future
I love this version because of the cognitive dissonance he actually mentions in the video here.

That's the feeling I get from this song, and that's why I love it so much. I love it light years more than Simon and Garfunkel's just because of that sound.
Love that description. It's what I felt but couldn't explain.
Well said❤
Geoff Castalucci did an amazing low bass cover that’s been described as the sorrow version
Conan O’Brien stated in an interview that in the 20 years of his show’s run, that was the first time a music act not only left the audience in stunned silence but also his crew. Even crew members who worked ‘backstage’ stopped what they were doing and silently stood around the stage to watch and listen. And to think Draiman performed with a lesion on a vocal cord…
David had the flu, not a lesion on the vocal cord.
I can believe it. It's powerful.
absolutely beautiful!!! I have listened to this over and over, everytime it moves me to tears. Thank you Disturbed
Amazing ❤
@@foxymacadoo - actually it was the vocal cord. I saw an interview with David where he said that.
Simon & Garfunkel's version made you think, Disturbed made you feel it in your Soul.
God gave the message through Simon and Garfunkyl.....society lost the message. David Draiman gave the message with sadness & ANGER....GOD IS SPEAKING
@@PamelaKilburn-c3wOMG, This gave me chills, the Accuracy!
👍👍👍
Not only feels, it resonates
@@PamelaKilburn-c3w there is no god
People doubted that he could truly sing..... he did this to prove them wrong.
This is the song I listen to when I miss my grandpa!!! Rip Rudy
❤ blessings😢
Chills.... every time I hear them sing this song.
Every time
If it does not vibrate to your soul..you arent listening..feel it...
To think he was actually down with a sickness when singing this too is insane. The video for it is just as amazing.
ziiiiiiiiing
ba-dum-tss!
Yes! I just wrote that.. glad I heard right!!
Haha 😂down with the sickness 😂😂😂was going to men😢the flu and fever but this was bette4❤❤😊

David trained to be a Cantor before becoming a rock star. In Judaism, a cantor sings solo verses during prayer, to which the congregation responds. It's a very demanding & technical type of singing.
Yeah, it's that cantor training, I think, that just informs the sheer DEPTH of David's ballad approach. Breathtaking.
I had no idea. Thanks for the info ... explains the depth of his talent.
Same. Goosebumps every time I hear it
Yep
All that is absolutely correct! But, during a Disturbed break, David decided to go back to basics and took vocal lessons in operatic range so that he wouldn't damage his vocal cords any further.
I have listened to this a million times and I get goosebumps and teary eyed every single time
EPIC PERFORMANCE!!!
This is why Simon said this song is yours. Absolutely phenomenal
He also said that he was getting flack from Garfunkel for doing that but he wrote the song by his self (Simon) at his house, so that left nothing to argue about
That's also fake news. Simon never said that, it's just something the internet invented.

Simon never said Disturbed´s version was the best. He sent them a message saying "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks"
for what it's worth teddy, I came to this video knowing I'd cry again - happens every time. Hard to not get emotional the way David portrays the pain.
We’re here with you! Happens to us all apparently!
When I saw them live a couple months ago there wasn't a dry eye in the house. It was amazing
SAME!
Same here.

I love both versions of the song. Though I put the other on repeat so I can get to sleep at night.

In the same way that Johnny Cash's version of Hurt is now the definitive version, Disturbed own Sound of Silence.
I agree
Agreed
im sooooo jealous that poeple get to hear this for the first time!!
The best version of this is their official video of it..... much darker, much deeper, so much more raw.....
100 per cent
Dont care how tough you think you are, this version of this song will have you holding back tears.
I didn't even think about trying to hold mine back...
This is about the 30th time watching people react. It still gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I don't listen to Disturbed. And I've heard this song on the radio a million times.

Rap fans are always amazed by actual music
New rap these days is not music. It’s crap 😂
Its mind blowing how beautiful his voice is. He is truly talented. Mad respect. I've always loved Disturbeds music. This is a new level of respect.
BTW (not sure if anyone else has commented this already), the pianist here is Disturbed's guitarist. Blows my mind every time I see this.
That song originally written in the 60s was waaay ahead of its time. Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. 😍
Ive found that singers with the most beautiful voices tend to be ones that scream. When you find a song where they sing, it's amazing. I think because it takes a lot of talent to pull off that grit sound.

Because he was sick he was extremely unhappy with his performance, he is a classically trained vocalist!!!!!
Yes Teddy you should react to the studio version with the video! It is an experience of art. 👌🏼
He peeved at some point too coz someone used auto tune. He still pushed on. True perforner
Was he down with the sickness?
I cry, as a 57 year old man every time I hear this rendition...so powerful.I remember so fondly how my mom (who has since passed away) and me regaling about how beautiful Dave Draimond's version is.

Don't forget this was a live performance as well. So many bands you hear live don't sound the same as on cd or radio. His voice is phenomenal.
David Drainman has such a phenomenal voice. Disturbed's song "The Light" is another one that shows off his range and talent, not to mention one hell of a message. Also "A Reason to Fight" is another one that just will blow you away. Sound of Silence is one of my all time favorite songs, and i love their cover of it.

Now harder stuff from them, "Down with the Sickness" was a good start, but theres "Indestructible", "Ten Thousand Fists", "Prayer", "Bad Man", "Only the Best Ones Lie", "Inside the Fire", I could go on and on lol. Regardless, I hope you enjoy your journey into metal and rock!
Tears in my eyes every time I listen to this version.
David is a classically trianed cantor, he has an amazing voice no matter what he sings
I'm loving your reactions your comments to ( The Sound of Silence)❤❤❤❤❤
"That was a feeling" -- so much yes.
YES amazing rendition goood goood gooood
Its just perfect. I cant breathe deep until the last line!
It was absolutely awesome watching your mind be blown by David’s rendition of this great song.
It was a shock to every single person who grew up with Disturbed, I assure you.
But a welcome one.
Simon and Garfunkel sang it as a warning, David sang it as an accusation.
Exactly
thanks for that, saved me having to go rediit to see the original time this comment was made
You watched the BEST version of this song 💯%
It gives me chills every time I get to see someone's genuine reaction to David's pure voice. He's is an insanely talented artist.

Paul Simon, after hearing this version, said to David Draiman that this is his song now!
This cover always gives me chills. And it's even more meaningful watching the actual video as well
You've got to do" the light"!!! The most powerful song I've heard by any band of any genre!!
I’ve been playing that on repeat before work lol.
The Light has been a go-to of mine several times in the past 15 months to keep me alive.
Teddy, I can tell just how much you were feeling this song because of how you DIDN’T stop it while listening. It is a very powerful song and absolutely emotional every time I hear it. They are my absolute favorite band! David is amazingly talented.
This is THE best cover of anything ever. Goosebumps every time I hear it.
YESSSSSSSSS!! Ok so now that I've finished watching. First, this is my first time hearing/watching him do it live and it HITS DIFFERENT!!! I CRIED! Second, I have been dying to watch you react to this song by this band. The POWER in that third verse when he adds that GRIT to his voice just 🤌😭🥶
The music video to this will stop your heart with chills.
I grew up on S&G. I’ve probably known this song as long as any. I FREAKING LOVE this version. Amazing!

Yeah, to pull off Metal in particular, one usually needs a reasonable degree of vocal training, otherwise you will kill your voice in short order
One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I can watch it over and over

Mad ❤. Wtf? U can sing my guy!
And the fact that he did this while violently ill makes it so much better
I love the Pentatonix version of this song as well...but this one is my favorite
The Geoff Castelluci cover is good if you like acapella
Best version is ever. David Draimon is brilliant. Btw in this performance David was sick and running a temperature of over 102.
I have seen this so many times I will never get tired of it David and everyone involved it is the most perfect performance I have seen in my life and it literally gives you goosebumps 🙂
Between him & Dan Vasc, I've definitely learned that metal singers are a different breed in the best way
This is the best cover of this song, there I said it!! Got me teary eyed too, just beautiful...
Paul Simon actually said that this is his favorite version of the song!!!
Great reaction! The music video is amazing too 🤯
Amazing that this was live and he had flu at the time. Such an awesome version of this song
oh i got goose bumps the first time hearing this cover, he did so good .
I didn’t think I had any tears left, and then when I hear him again, the water works come. My soul keeps purging out deep soul emotion that seems to never end. This song, man, and performance, has impacted my existence.
I LOVE this version!! ❤ It was actually my ringtone for a long time!! 😂
Makes me cry everytime! The pain and rage in his voice is so palpable. This is what it do universal about music is the pain, soul, and emotion singers portray that connects with all human nature.
l never knew about Disturbed until I watched a cover version of a Genisis song Land Of Confusion,then I found the video of this cover of Sound Of Silence,I was brought up with the original song but this version brought tears to my eye's,it is one of the most powerful versions of this song l have ever heard.
Don't worry my friend, each of us has reacted the same way, with tears, and goosebumps, and mentally stunned. Welcome to the club. Loved your honesty and vulnerability. And that you recognized David Draiman's incredible skill and vocal ability. I have subscribed.
David Dremond was sick when this was recorded. He had a head cold if I remember correctly. And he still sang amazingly.
The best version of this song ever done and it's even more amazing because it's live! Dude is an amazing vocalist! He has such a huge range.
I only recently discovered your channel and was very pleasantly surprised to see you drop this one today! The Conan and the music video versions always bring me to tears when I have them blasting. You could tell that this song meant a lot to him, David, and that he wanted to send a message and leave a lasting impression with this song choice.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you!
I had already heard Disturbed’s cover for this, so when you said “I’m expecting a lot of screaming” during the intro… I thought to myself “hehehe, just wait, you’re in for a surprise”.
It’s like Falling in Reverse’s Last Resort (reimagined)… amazing how a “heavy” band can cover something so beautifully
That's my favorite version of this song ever. Glad you got to hear it.
