    Listened to this song for 50 years without ever understanding the message, David made me listen and get the meaning. I will say to me it's better than the original because the message is dark and foreboding and Paul & Art sang it like a folk song. Taking nothing away from the writing, that is still masterful, but this brought tears to my eyes and that never happened with the original.

    Disturbed's version spoke to me in a way that the original didn't. (Sorry! I feel guilty saying that knowing how special it is to you. 😳) I felt the weight of the lyrics and actually listened to the words. I was little when I heard the original and the folk style music didn't pull me in, it never did for anything. I was too young to comprehend the lyrics and by the time I was old enough to understand, I'd already pigeonholed it into the "Mom and Dad's music" box. My brother listened to Alice Cooper, and I grew up on classic rock, so I never circled back around. I feel like Disturbed brought the brilliance of the words and meaning to an audience that wouldn't have listened before. I think it's a perfect marriage. And David's vocals are everything ... (I might have a little crush. Don't judge me! Lol) Seriously, so glad you enjoyed this. It's wonderful to see someone who loves the original be able to appreciate a different take. Nicely done! I'll be back for more Disturbed. :)

      Same here. The original had this whimsical instrumental with the voices filled with melancholy. Disturbed’s version feels like it goes from a hopeless whisper to a frustrated scream, then almost ends in melancholy. For me, he shows and emanates every line and every emotion that goes with it. Like you said, it makes the listener actually listen and feel absolutely everything with him.

      Paul Simon, upon hearing Disturbed’s version, said the song now belongs to Disturbed. Simon also put a link to the Disturbed version on his page. What a compliment!

    David Draiman was classically trained as Jewish Hassan / Cantor. Phenomenal vocalist.
    And the line, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls" is one of my favorite verses in any song, ever.

    The shot of the hand writing the music has an old-time cuff or something of metal to keep the hand and arm off the page to not smear the ink. I am 77 and grew up with Simon & Garfunkel and never understood the song until about 4 years ago heard Disturb's cover. Then I understood the song.
    The Conan Show performance was nominated for a Grammy and the audience commented on some videos that they gave them a 10-minute standing ovation.

  • @ruthiewohlforth5464
    @ruthiewohlforth5464 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    ... David Draiman has one of the best voice's I've ever heard imho. He's got it all... stunning voice in either tenor or baritone (range), distortion (vocal fry), control, emotion, vibrato ... can even put vibrato on the distortion which is incredibly difficult to do! David is amazing! Love your reaction.

    Paul Simon said it himself. This is the best rendition, even his own. David Draman is one of the most invoking and powerful but also classical educated. He has the most versatile voice in history.

      Thank you! I was just wondering how Simon & Garfunkel reacted to Disturbed's rendition of their classic song.
      I truly love and can watch for hours, people reacting to this awesome rendition of the sound of silence. They are all blown away, as I am each and every time I watch and listen. I never tire of listening to David Dramon's voice.

    David draiman is such an amazing singer AND human being. I’m so glad you listened. It took me a long time to cave and listen too but Simon and Garfunkel’s was to me a warning and disturbed’s was more a you’re still not listening vibe, decades later.

    Great analysis! Unbelievably indescribably powerful rendition!!! The original was very good, no doubt, but even Paul Simon himself is quoted as saying that Disturbed now "OWNS" the song - and that is a compliment beyond all compliments!

    Loved your reaction video and so glad to watch a review where the person actually knows of the original iconic song! So disheartening to see how many other reaction reviewers thought this version might be the original, and had never heard of Simon and Garfunkel. Sigh. I grew up with the original and love it, but Disturbed's version is my favorite for the incredible passion and power it exudes. His voice is amazing. Thank you for your reaction video. I agree with your comparison of the tone and style of the two song versions. Great review!!

    In addition to being one of the best vocalists of the century, David is an advocate for mental illness and an awesome individuals. I love his interviews. Btw I am not a heavy metal fan. Paul Simon contacted David and told him that The Sound of Silence was his now. There is no greater praise for a cover! I grew up with and love the original, but this is my fav version.

    They also did this song live on Conon O'Brien. Paul Simon was watching that night. After hearing Disturbed's cover, he sent David a message stating that this is now their song.
    I've seen them do this live and it was amazing. You could feel the energy in the venue.

    Loved your reaction. People will probably tell you to check out this on Conan O’Brian. They will also tell you he was sick with the flu, but I just watched an interview with David and he actually had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cords. I think that makes it even more amazing. There is another group that does a cover of this. Pentatonix . They are known worldwide, have been together since 2011. 20 million subscribers and over 6 BILLION views. Have 3 Grammys. A star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Platinum records. About 4 thousand Christmas albums 😂 If you watch 1 video their fan base known as Pentaholics will flock to your channel. If you do decide to do this I recommend that you read Alan Freeman’s comment. He will give you their ENTIRE history. Oh, one more thing. They are an a cappella group. If you already know who they are, then Nevermind. 🤭Also just subscribed.

    "...and the people bowed and prayed to the neon gods they made..."
    When this song came out that "neon god" was television. Today it's the almighty smartphone.
    As the "neon god" has evolved and become more powerful, the people still don't heed Simon and Garfunkles' warning.
    Does David seem mad about that?

I will get back to this one at some point, maybe a different focus to some extent. The last 13 reactions I did had copyright concerns on 12 of them so it got a bit discouraging.

    As a musician you can only respect that of another!! It’s like the “Noah ark” of instruments coming a shore right? I grew up w/s&g oh my god they were the “folk” song writers/music we all tapped to back then! Never dismiss a great message from another Artist!!! This I must say… a total JUSTICE RENDITION!!! This is my fav “metals”band they chose this song because of the message their is no other remake/rendition of that S&G gave praise to their powerful rendition they had predicted! Totally WOW! Love your take Gary! YOU MUST HEAR THEIR LIVE VERSION ON CONAN HE WAS SICK BUT STILL SHOWED TO PERFORM ORCHESTRA AND ALL!! Till you watch this version there is no mercy! He is a trained cantor and should be respected for his talent this shall be or go down voted the BEST EVER RENDITION OF ANOTHER ARTIST RIGHT!? Make sure you you listen to Conan version cuz that’s the “real” !! You will,..never be the same! This is like a hall of fame experience

    Falling in Reverse - "Last Resort Reimagined" is a wonderful cover of Papa Roach - "Last Report". Besides his awsome muscial skills the lead singer Ronnie Radke also makes the best videos. His "reimagined" songs use the exact same lyrics but have a totally different composition and feel. You feel the lyrics much more.

    Another rock band to check out is Ramstein.
    It's in german, but if you understand the German language, the songs take on an entire new depth of meaning.
    Also, lead singer Till Lindemann was supposed to be an Olympic swimmer for East Germany, and he's a fully licenced pyrotechnician (explaining all of the fire/explosives in their shows)

      I saw them in Berlin in 1998!

    You should also check out the version Distrubed did live on Conan and the a cappella group Pentatonix -"Sound of Silence" version.

    Das beste Cover dieses wunderbaren Songs, sagt auch Simon. Aber höre die Live Aufnahme bei Conan an, dort war David Draiman krank. Alles wunderbar.
    Danke für die Beurteilung

    feel, don't talk, listen don't intellectualise. How can you speak so much through such an experience?

    This one definitely joins some of the few songs where the cover is an improvement over the original.

    Another phenomenal cover of a classic is of The Beatles "Help!" by John Farnham, totally worth reacting to the live version from the 80s with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

    Love it. No wonder this one is called "The king of covers" But then again it´s not a cover. Paul Simon posted this and said: It´s their song now. The only other cover/tribute that can compete with this one is: Nightwish High hopes (Pink Floyd) Oh and btw I am a HUGE Simon and Garfunkel fan

    One of the few, possibly only cover that I love perhaps more than the original. You spoke of the harmonies Simon & Garfunkle created, I think Ren and Chinchilla are more magical. Lots of couples sound good together, a few make magic. Check out "How to Be Me" (Live version.) Please.
    You also mentioned the original of this song is "sparse" (or similar). When did you last listen to it? I listened after hearing this version of "Sound of Silence," and found the opposite. S&G's felt cluttered and pop-py. (And I love them together and also Paul solo.)
