I’m just here to read the recycled comments from every other reaction video to this song that’s out there. I haven’t been disappointed yet 😂
That is so true
😂😂😂
First original comment!!!
just like Bill Burr reaction videos lmao
Agreed. Same comments on every single reaction. 🤣🤣
Dave was unwell with the flu when he sang this, which makes it all the more remarkable.
Thanks for that, I have only read this in every damn reaction to this song on the internet and maybe 10 to es in this thread.
In 19 yrs the singer was recovering from a fucking coma
Um, Dave? Typo?
I can here the auto tune
@@clairash2004 his name is Dave Draiman.
or David if you want to go formal :)
I have been on a binge of reaction videos to this version of the song. In no way am I discrediting the original, but my god .. probably vocally the best cover I’ve ever heard.
Same here. I have watched it a hundred times and I take time to watch it again every time it comes on my feed. Sometimes I binge watch it again and post in the comments. It's like I am sharing the discovery of a great piece of music with a different group of people every time. It's transcendent.
Same here I've watched it about 100times
Me too! I love these reactions!
same but i think best cover ever was hurt johnny cash originally by NIN
@@davidp1838 Both Hurt and Sound of Silence are on par with each other in terms of the cover by Cash and Disturbed. Both artists managed to elevate the song to greater heights than the original artists could do. The originals are/were great all on their own, but Cash and Disturbed just brought out the songs truest potential/greatness.
God: Do you want the voice of an angel or demon?
David: Yes
how many times? how many times has this been said?
@@jonbaird8835 how many times has it been wrong? The answer is zero.
@@Igneusflama and how many times was it original? Once.
farming the good ol' youtube comment for every reaction vid of this song :)
Every demon can become an angel.
Every angel can become a demon.

People say Simon and Garfunkel’s was a warning. Disturbed version is the anger we did not heed the warning. Great reaction guys.
Not anger, but anguish. In both his voice and especially the orchestral backing can be heard the echoes of pain felt by hundreds of millions of people, and the sorrow he feels at their suffering, mixed with the anger towards society for ignoring what should have been such a simple warning. Anger is not a complex enough emotion to properly describe the feel of this version of the song; anguish is much better.
We’re angry here in the USA. Media/neon god
If you listen to the version done by Pentatonix, then that one would be the version of "Hope". So, it makes for an very interesting progression going from the original, to the Disturbed version to the Pentatonix version.
@@412saint Nope, not angry in usa, very happy the orange headed man and speaker of 25,000 lies is a loser... ; ))
@@412saint Same here in the UK .The media are like a cancer ,invading every aspect of your being , if you listen/watch TV /radio/ newspapers .
They have lied about food shortages , and the sheep have believed them, and panicked, buying up everything in the supermarkets .They have pushed the government agenda to the hilt , no visits to family ,telling young children not to hug their granparents or they could give them the virus , and kill them.No visiting friends , all pubs /restaurants /cafes closed ,so no meeting up to talk about the harsh restrictions and the lies we are been told every day .Telling people to snitch on their neighbours if they see people together. Telling people who do not mask upthat they are cold blooded killers , (there are many people who have medical reasons to not wear masks , and then asking people to shame them.. I could go on , but it makes me sad & angry that people do not question them.They are now saying this is the new normal ,and will be the same restrictions in the summer of 2021. The cities/ towns are like grave yards , , hardly a soul moving in what once was a vibrant, , colouful ,breathing community , all gone , now they are replaced by 'The sound of silence'.
I am a huge Disturbed fan. Bought “ Immortalized”, put it in the car CD player, then this song came on. Had to pull over because I couldn’t drive as I was so emotional. Don’t know why. I am old enough to remember the original well, but this version grabs you by the heart and throat and MAKES you listen. Still makes me tear up. Great reaction ❤️
Disturbed is a great band. I rock out every time I hear The Night, my favorite song of theirs.
Even now, after watching 20+ reactions to both this and the music video... Let alone the hundreds of times I've listened to it otherwise, I can't hear this cover without tearing up at least once. It's RIDICULOUS how powerful David manages to make this.
I also 1st heard this while driving the interstate and had to pull over to cry. Got to my elderly mom’s home and played it for her on my phone. She listened to it several times and loved it.
Kristi, check out the official video. The visuals along with his flawless vocals and amazing music behind him hits the emotions every single time.
@@svlnj I have watched it many times and I agree with you. Thanks for suggesting it💜
This song puts the attitude into the lyrics that it always needed.
It does not NEED it !! But it adds to it
The lead singer David Draimon was trained as a Jewish cantor. So he is classically trained.
Was just about to mention this
Draiman*
I did not know that. That makes sense!
This gets spread in every single video of this song LOL. He was NOT classically trained, he'd be the first to tell you this. He learned how to cantor when he was a young boy at Temple. That is nowhere near being classically trained. Despite receiving the odd voice lesson here and there (so that he could do the vocal fry technique properly- aka the growling), David pretty much taught himself. Which, I think, is more impressive.
Simon & Garfunkel endorsed this version as the best version of their song, even including their own version!!!
Ehhh
Bet you won't find any actual evidence of that.
I personally agree that this is the best version, but Simon And Garfunkel never said that.
@@KurNorock David is on video stating it more than once. Here's an article written about it as well.
ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-simon-disturbed-sound-of-silence/
Agree that he reached out but don't agree that Simon said Disturbed´s version was the best. He said "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks"
I agree though, love Simon & Garfunkels but I think Disturbed´s is better
Paul Simon said this song belongs to them now after this performance and he added it to his official playlist.
David Draiman....one of the most amazing vocalists I've ever heard....he has a timbre to his voice that is soooo distinctive. He can go from clear as crystal to rasp and back on a dime with unbelievable control. The man is so damn talented!! He's got a gift on loan from God
You had me until you brought the invisible dude into the equation
😆😂@@wlanagan
That is by far and away my favorite cover of any song. Second place has to be Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' Hurt. Whenever I listen to either one on TH-cam, the other automatically pops up next. The algorithm has me figured out.
same dude
Check out Home Free Ring of Fire. Not quite the emotion of this song, but a great cover that is a solid add to any playlist.
What about Blinded By The Light?
David’s voice and his powerful message of his words….stills my soul ❤❤
Dave said his interpretation of this song was meant to be one of anger at the way society has turned, as where Paul Simon's version was an imminent warning of danger ahead. I must admit I really like this version. I was a young teen when the original hit the air waves and it was an amazing song for it's time as well.
David Draiman was raised as an Orthodox Jew and his amazing voice is due to the fact that not only was he born with it, but he is also a trained Cantor.
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed addresses depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, beloved bands of our time! Thanks, Diane ❤❤❤😊
Epic is the best word to describe their performance of this song. They took beautiful lyrics from nearly sixty years ago, and performed it in a way that forced you to listen and feel the message.
Sound of Silence is a generational song, we remember the original but this is the song that asks us 'why the hell weren't you listening?', if you have the time, you need to listen to the studio version, with all the images telling the story
When Dave sings the part at 7:10, I absolutely get goosebumps! This rendition is so iconic that I believe it surpasses the original
6:59 that moment when they all look to each other and nod gives me happy vibes.
you should watch and listen to the official video, amazing. Gives me chills every time I hear it. He hated that they used ANY auto tune. He doesn't need it, even sick. Never heard anyone call him Dave, sounds weird.
Thank you for NOT pausing. It should be listened to without pause, for that takes away from the fluidity of all involved that created this masterpiece. Talk about teamwork! Breathtaking ❤️.
This is still one of my favorite songs. I'd never heard of Disturbed before this
"The Sound of Silence" was an anthem when I was in school. But Disturbed took that song, shook it out, took ownership.
Paul Simon immediately came out and said he loved it. High praise from the songs writer.
What about Garfunkle
Sadly he had passed away and never got to listen to this version of their song but Paul Simon told David this song is now theirs
It’s such a stunning performance and he was sick here, unbelievable
This and Chris Cornell doing nothing compares to you are masterpieces. As beautiful music and as powerful emotion as I’ve ever seen.
The ability to reach SO DEEP, with ZERO STRESS to boot, when you are compressing your diaphragm so hard core by sitting....it was almost IMPOSSIBLE for him to sing the way he did sitting down. What a ride! I've always loved Disturbed. Loved the reaction vid! ❤
The gentleman in the centre...
You felt this...
An openly honest and vulnerable reaction...
Thank you...
🇿🇦
The best cover ever. Love this version. It,s been on my play list for years, prefer this to the original.
I listened again to this, and yes there are differences, but Wow, what a performance. I never fail to get chills down my back from David sing ing this song. ONe of the BEST !!!!
David Draiman is classically opera trained and has one of the best voices I have ever heard. I am a nearly70 year old grandmother and I love this version of this song.
" I do love the sound of silence"...."oh...do you like this version?"...."ohh no, I just love the sound of silence". Lmao
And he was sick with a high fever that night when this was performed!
I saw Disturbed live around 2010 and man are they incredible live. His voice and their sound is so unique.
I saw them around then as well. Incredible
Mayhem Festival 2011 is when I saw them in Denver. Great show!
Paul Simon contacted Disturbed after seeing this performance to offer his thanks and praise on doing the song he wrote justice, that alone should tell you something about how good this cover is.
The Disturbed Official Video version is an audio & visual spectacular.
Having seen Disturbed a number of times live I have to say they are one of very few bands that sound as good as if not the same as the studio versions they do. Dave's voice is incredible despite his throat problems.
In my opinion this song was wrote for disturbed to cover, such a powerful cover
All three of your faces are hilarious- laughing before sing, Dave starts singing And all three frown with emotion 😂🥰
I truly couldn't keep my eyes off Mike. He felt that so much. I loved this!
Be sure to watch their original 4K B&W video. Very POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! It's a whole different experience. I have to give a shout out to the producers and the production crew and everyone involved in putting this exceptional video together! ❤❤❤ From Diane
Goddamn that rendition gives me chills every time!
Loved watching the older gentleman’s emotional reaction as the song progressed. Like millions of others he actually heard, felt, and lived the David’s version.
Great review, gents.
Gets me in the soul every time I hear this the emotion in saves voice. Wow hands down
Please check out Bad Wolves cover of the Cranberries “Zombie”. Another goose bump song
Wow, hearing that for the first time after 2020 in the US. Seems beyond prescient now. Thank you for the heads up on that cover.
Wish they hadn’t added the “drones” reference. Just sing the damn song as it was written.
They added that and changed the year from 1916 to 2018 to basically say it’s still the same shit we deal with just a different year…gives it a more “modern” update while still retaining the original message
@@davidsmith-th1kh Yeah I get it but the song is the song. Disturbed seemed to be OK with the original Land of Confusion lyrics.
I love how their faces became so serious after hearing the first words 😀
Thanks Guys. Always good to hear a Brit reaction for a change, cos we know sarcasm and wit :)
Please consider Zombie cover by Bad Wolves - has to be the official video, and also My Chemical Romance song Welcome To The Black Parade. Introduced to all of these by my teenage son and just love them
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant - such a voice!
Watch the official video....makes the song so much more impactful
#Disturbed as you can see he has been a band for quite long time and despite their band name, they can be found under categories of metal, gospel, and/or christian rock. Same as CREED, SKILLET, THREE DAYS GRACE, BREAKING BENJAMIN, THREE DOORS DOWN, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, AEROSMITH, PARAMORE, EVANSCENCE, FIREFLIGHT, GODSMACK, etc. just to name a few.
I totally Agree . This is I think my favorite.. I watch it over and over, be it the studio version or the live. Still gives me goosebumps.. Great Reaction video enjoyed the comments..
His voice is mesmerizing! I grew up listening to artists like Simon & Garfunkel, among many, many others, because my Mom would sing all through the house while doing chores. So I was very familiar with this song and loved it. I love this version even more than the original. I have never heard any of their other music because metal music has never been my thing. A+++ on this one though.
I completely agree that this is my favorite reaction song. It's both so unexpected, and brilliantly performed to draw out every ounce of emotion.
Small Town Titans- "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch" you will love it 👍
Everything David touches turns into pure gold
Paul Simon originally wrote and sang this song with Art Garfunkel, Simon has said, upon listening to Disturbed singing this song, "It no longer belongs to me, it's his now."
So glad u blokes reacted to this. U usually find self proclaimed vocal teachers who are more interested in showing how much they know about singing then appreciating beauty. To all u teachers take notes. Shut up and be blown away. Your channel will do better
this song was written for David..Simon and Garfunkel had a vision of the future..David is living...We are living in an age that ( just the other day going out to eat..watched a whole family with their heads down looking at their phones , never talking ( and texting(words with out speaking)...we are all turning into a society that has become numb to human interaction...where do we go from here,,cell phones and social media has destroyed us. I am 49..at dinner we talked about our day and got advise..I would sit on the porch with my grandparents and learned lessons about life ..If I would have had a cell phone would have never heard their amassing stories and lessons ...We need to all smash our phones and interact again...we survied with out the cell phone and can do it again..We have such a disconnect now. ..
Paul Simon said this song belongs to them now. He even added it to his playlist.
That's not true. People misquote that all the time. Paul Simon never once said that. What people are blindly reposting is a paraphrase of what Trent Reznor said about Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. You want to see what Paul really said?
loudwire.com/disturbed-approval-from-paul-simon-the-sound-of-silence-cover/
_Simon stated, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks._
That is what David Draiman said, directly, about what Paul Simon emailed him.
Merry Christmas, boys. Merry Christmas to everyone reading this. May the holiday season be good to all of you. Take care and be good for goodness sake
720 views in the first hour of having this review up. There are literately a thousand reviews on this song. Hope you guys don’t fluff it like some other have.... well done guys, you did alright 👍🏻
That puts it in...what? Top 5 most requested song reactions?
I can't believe my suggestion was taken up so quickly I won't ask for anything else!
Love from Belgium
The Cane cheers Belgium. And for Kevin De Bruyne 💙
@@officeblokedaz cheers lads I'll drink to that!
supposedly S&G said that this version really continued the idea behind the song.
I just love both versions so much! Simon and Garfunkel with the absolutely beautiful and flawless harmonies
Then Dave’s version brings the fire with this almost angry passion that gives you chills!!!
React to Zombie by bad Wolves! It's a GREAT cover of the Cranberries 🤘🏽❤
This is my absolute favorite cover, ever. ♥
Disturbed have done a few covers - 'Land of Confusion' [Genesis]; 'Shout' [Tears for Fears]; 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for' [U2.
You guys posted this on my birthday. Thanks for the late bday gift!
Thanks for a wonderful reaction video -- I really enjoyed it!
Pentatonix has a great cover of this as well. Plus many other amazing covers and originals.
I 2nd this
I endorse the PTX version too!
Love how Mike was blown away by this.
Totally agree. The official video captures the power even better...
Great reaction to the greatest cover of any song I have heard since I was a teen in 1968. David Draiman of Disturbed has blown every other cover of this song away. Not surprising since Draiman was being classically trained as a cantor, the most important figure after the rabbi in the Jewish worship service. The cantor conducts the liturgical portion of the service by leading people in singing & prayer and who must know long passages of Hebrew by heart. They also must have excellent singing voices. Fortunately, for the public, he was expelled several times from different yeshivas and he decided he was not cut out for that life. As a result, we have this heavy metal singer that can bring people to tears with the beauty of his voice. So powerful and hauntingly beautiful. Can't think of anyone who can compete. Please do yourselves a favor and watch Disturbed's Official Video of this song, so much more powerful than the Conan show version. So glad Office Bloke Mike got to react to this song since he was the most familiar with the original song!
One of my favorite renditions of this song.
There's no reason to listen to a cover song unless it's materially different from the original. This one is terrific.
I think I prefer this to the recorded one. Love the orchestra with it and I wonder if his cold even gave it a bit of an edge.
Merry Christmas You Office BlOKES !!!!!!!
Paul Simon cried and said that was for disturbed and David Draiman to sing....Fun Fact; David Draiman was classically trained in opera!!!💋❤✌
The official video is reall y a better choice, much more dramatic and just fabulous !!!!! Thanks for the great reaction !!!
Just a man and a orchestra belting it out. awesome. so powerful. have you done Jack White covering Jolene yet??? so good.
Yes please
This song has always given me chills and I love it, great song and Disturbed never disappoints me. Thank you for this reaction.
Hello gentlemen! I hope that you are happy and healthy! Btw- apparently he learned to sing Classical Opera first in his repertoire... yes his voice is spectacular. Perfect for this song. And I still get goose bumps every time I hear it lol. Take care : )....AND! I respect you SO much for respecting this piece enough to not pausing it every other second like some do.
Wow indeed!
Disturbed is a great metal band too I love his voice infused with the metal instrumentals they do
Saw a comment once on a similar style video about this song and I’d quote the man if I could but don’t remember his screen name: “The original version of the song you hear it, and this live version you feel it”. Gets me every time! Love this song and band. Nice video boys!
'Down with the Sickness' has a heavy message. Disturbed has a great take with a wonderful VIDEO of 'Sound of Silence'. It is worth watching. (and reacting to). His voice!
Enjoy you guys!
[Insert 50 repeated comments from every other reaction channel about this song and how DD was sick or about the warning vs realization message or every other thing]
Anyways...great reaction :)
Kickass song by a kickass band that puts on great live performances!
loved your reaction..... !!!!
Great reaction guys 👍😀
You know who REALLY loved this? Paul Simon! $ ka-ching!! $ ka-ching!! $ ka-ching!!
Excellent OMG Disturbed 👍😱🎤🎶🎼🙏😍👏
Great choice! I knew I liked you for a reason Daz, you have good taste sir!👍
Please do more Disturbed!! They're my favorite band ever!
there version is truly amazing to think he had the flu that day and still performed a song that still brought goose bumps to me and tears to my eyes. This is the best version of this song ever heard. there have been a few who have performed it. even heard another base try but no one can do it justice. David sings this song and it truly touches the soul.
S&G: We have a beautiful song called The sound of silence! David: hold my beer!
So much feeling ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼
This song (this version) is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Alter Bridge "Words Darker Than Their Wings" live at the Royal Albert Hall. Might get blocked but some manage to get it through. Great band and great song.
This live version in my opinion is probably better than the studio version. Myles hitting that high note at the end, causes chills. Also such a nice guy
@@poisonivy5887 I agree that high note in the live version is spine chilling.
Simon and Garfunkel wrote this song!!!
Disturbed know owns this song!!!
You can't deny the grawls effectiveness, cheers mates.. cA
They seriously have a mind reader when it comes on what to react to next
I asked for this not even a week ago they're like lightning
