This is a live performance but I want you to notice what you DON'T hear. The audience is dead silent. Not a peep. That is the power that this man and this song have.
No disrespect intended towards Simon and Garfunkel, but this one of those exceedingly rare cover tunes that surpasses the original. I always felt that the original should have been grittier... had more angst... hard to explain.
@@Qmocean no he didnt.. that was Trent Reznor to Johnny Cash. people mix those two all the time. Paul Simon sent them a letter saying he very much enjoyed their version
I am 63-years-old and remember like it was yesterday when Simon and Garfunkel released it on Sept 12, 1965. The version by Disturbed left me in tears and ripped my soul out of my body, LOVE IT!
Same age, lol, my boyfriend in the 90’s played this song to me in front of a beautiful fire, this beats every version I have ever heard, might even be my fav song ever sung by anyone….
This song was released 7 days after I was born! Still into the 70's I used to listen to S&G all the time, this is a timeless classic and Dave just made it even more immortal! I have heard Disturbed version probably 300 or more times. I can't stop listening to it. My mouth was open the whole time I sat and watched it. I was expecting to hear it destroyed and there I sat almost destroyed me. It almost brought me to tears. Rock on!
@@misspattifromcali.6955 Well, goosebumps and chills are the same... I get the same feeling every time I hear it by Disturbed, No disrespect, but this version is more moving to me than the original.
Watching a chatty man get silenced by David's voice is something that is amazing to see. It's a stunning performance for a sick man who is sitting on a chair while he does it. He totally floored me too the first time I listened to it. One of the best live performances of all time.
I saw Disturbed in a live double-headliner with The Offspring. They both rocked their damn cocks off! So much energy. Sounded as good live as on their albums.
I never really understood the words before when Simon and Garfunkel did it but, when I heard Disturbed's version...I was sobbing, I finally understood what the song was about and I felt the pain in which it was written. Kudos
The crazy thing is, the guy was seriously sick (that’s why he’s sitting down) and he produced this performance. Only thing close is Freddie at Live Aid.
❤😊I am a 75 and I want to adopt you!!!! You are my favorite reactor. Your knowledge of music is wonderful your reactions are off the chart. I enjoy you so much!! I cry with you, laugh , and am happy when you get so excited I love ❤️ you keep doing this good thing. FYI when you light up so do I!!!!! so you never smoke alone. A big fan👏👏👏👏😎😘🎶🎶🎶🥳‼️
You are absolutely the oddest duck I've seen react to these songs - and I've seen alot. And you know what - I LOVE IT! OMG you are so intense and fun to watch. Loved this reaction. so much fun to hang and love your vibe, brother. funny side to this - when you start getting animated, you remind me of Bobcat Goldwaith.
He is cool, I think so too. I don't get tired of watching & listening to this cover by Disturbed. It's simply amazing! And like all of you i love seeing the reactions from everyone on here.
David does not use autotune. He was sick during one performance and show thought they had to autotune and did it without his approval. He was PISSED! He is a great singer. And trained cantor
@@TheHi_King I beg to differ. I can hit those notes, sang soprano in highschool. I was trained by a man who could hit notes much higher than I could. Singing takes training to do well, and people have been singing beautifully before technology ever existed.
LOVE YOU REACTION LOVE LOVE LOVE, DAVID GRABED ANOTHER SOUL HIS SINGING REACHES IN GRABS YOUR SOUL, PULLS IT OUT HOLDS IT IN HIS HANDS AND MAKES YOU TAKE NOTICE OF WHAT HE IS SINGING ABOUT AND THEN GENTALLY PUTS IT BACK IN AND LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS WITH GOOOOSEBUMPS AND A TEAR ROLLING DOWN YOUR FACE I KNOW I WENT THERE TOO AND I AM IN MY LATE 50'S I WAS AROUND WHEN SIMON AND GARFUNKEL SUNG THE ORIGINAL- DIDN'T QUIET UNDERSTOOD THE SONG THEN I RELIZED IT WAS A WARNING ABOUT WHERE HUMANITY WAS HEADING WHEN THE B&W TV CAME ON THE SCENE ANOTHER PART OF TECHNOLOGY AFTER THE RADIO AND TELEPHONE (TV- BRIGHT LIGHTS) WAS TAKING OVER AND HUMANITY EVEN STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH AND ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD AT THE TIME WAR,HOMELESSNESS,JOBLESSNESS,CLIMATE CHANGE,HABITAT DESTRUCTION ETC ETC SO THEIR SONG WAS A WAAAAAARNING AND 50YRS ON......... HUMANITY DIDN'T LISTEN WE ARE MORE OBSESSED WITH TECHNOLOGY TODAY AND IT HAS RULED HOW WE SEE THE WORLD AND THE WAY WE LIVE...... SAME ISSUES WAR, FAMINE, HOMELESSNESS,JOBLESSNESS HABITAT DESTRUCTION ETC ETC ETC........ SAAAAAD DISTURBED'S COVER-WTF HUMANITY YOU DIDN'T LISTEN THE FIRST TIME AND NOW IS OUR LAST CHANCE WE NEED TO WAKE UP MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ALL THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD BECAUSE IF WE DON'T TRRRRRRY THERE WILLBE NO TOMORROW :(:(:( I ONLY KNEW OF THIS BAND (DISTURBED) ABOUT 2YRS AGO AFTER LOOSING MY HUSBAND TO AN AGGRESSIVE BLADDER CANCER AND MY SPECIAL NEEDS SON WANTED THIS SONG TO BE PLAYED AT HIS DAD'S LIFE CELEBRATION CREMATION SERVICE WE DID AND THERE WASN'T A DRY EYE IN THE CHAPEL BECAUSE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THIS SONG IN THEIR OWN WAY AND WE TOOK UP A COLLECTION AND BROUGHT "KIDS CANCER PROJECT BEARS" AND DONATED THEM TO OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR THE KIDS AND HE HAS LEFT A WONDERFUL LEGACY BECAUSE WE DO THIS IN HIS HONOUR EVERY YEAR GOD BLESS PLEASE HAVE A WONDERFUL 2022 HAPPY LISTENING MAYLIKE TO LISTEN TO A FEW OTHER DISTURBED SONGS LIKE "A REASON TO FIGHT" AND "HOLD ON TO YOUR MEMORIES" JUST TO NAME A FEW AND BY THE WAY ON THE APPERANCE ON THE CONNAN SHOW DAVID WAS VERY ILL WITH THE FLU AND WAS ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL THE NIGHT BEFORE NEEDED IV ETC BECAUSE OF DEHYDRATION, THROAT INFECTION, HIGH TEMP ETC AND THE NEXT MORNING HE DISCHARGED HIMSELF (MORNING OF PREFORMANCE) BECAUSE HE SAID "THE SHOW MUST GO ON" AS YOU CAN SEE HE IS SITTING BECAUSE HE WASN'T WELL ENOUGH TO STAND AND HE ALSO WAS CONTROLLING HIS VOICE DUE TO SORE THROAT ETC BUT WHAT A OUTSTANDING PREFORMANCE WOW WOW WOW :);):)
When I saw them in concert, no one made a sound in this song. His power in this song was unmatched and as hard as he rocks, he sings just as hard. That’s music.
There is a reason why this guy, Mr. Video, has 250K+ reactions to this masterpiece from Draiman. This is the best reaction from a male, non-musician you will find anywhere in TH-cam. His reaction was so genuine and unique that it really didn't matter that he was pausing the video. Bravo!
Te revienta, te modifica y toca el alma humana modificandola, con..está VOZ de otro mundo extrema las emociones, necesitando escucharla hasta la eternidad,. Obra maestra debe ser escuchado en todo el mundooooo
"and the people bow n pray.. to the Neon God they made!" truer words have never been spoken. think of society holding their phones( looks like theyre prayin, smdh!) 💯👍🏼💯
Sound of silence in drop D, who knew how beautiful this dark song could be. Even Paul Simon was beside himself. I've always loved this song, but he put the goose pimple into this song and gave it a depth it never had.
This song.... there are no words to decide the beauty, depth and meaning it conveys. I enjoy watching some stuff on TH-cam. But music-wise? This song is the best, be it audibly, visually and/or emotionally. This song is my favorite to watch reactions to. I've only seen one group that didn't feel the lyrics like this. A truly poetic meaning/reaction to one of the first renditions I've ever seen/heard. I had no idea this was.a possibility from this band, and more importantly, this singer, to accomplish such a feat, to covey such emotion never seen before.
This arrangement is one giant crescendo. At the beginning of the song, David Draiman is practically whispering. By the end of the song, David Draiman is screaming in anger of the warning that was ignored by humanity. It's simply BRILLIANT. I get chills each and every time I hear this version of that song. Merry Christmas!
When I first heard his version of this song I was addicted and would listen to it on repeat. It's embarrassing how many times I played it in a row. Lol
This was the first song my mother ever sang with her choir when she was 9 years old. She is now 67 years old, dying of ALS. I ALWAYS watch Mr. Video, and this was hard... but Mr. Video, you did NOT disappoint. IT WAS HARD, but I needed this. Thank you Brother... It hurt, but I needed this. Thank you for being there @MrVideo123
Here is how one of the writers summed up this song "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
I wrote a master's thesis on this song. I got 158 pages and barely covered what I wanted to discuss. He took a masterpiece and sent it into orbit. The lyrics deserve nothing less than his voice. Phenomenal every time I hear it.
Yeah man, David Draiman is the real real deal, incredibly gifted and skilled, and they’ve got a ton of good songs, I’m also quite partial to their cover of Land of Confusion
I’ve watched dozens, if not hundreds, of reactors. You are,by far, my favorite, son. Your sincere,honest responses so closely match my own, and I relate so much to your emotions, especially your surprise and joy, that I feel a strange kinship to you, even though I’m old enough to be your grandma. Keep on keeping on,my friend. Trust your intuitive instincts. I’m proud of your work.
Absolutely. I have been a fan since they began in my teens. Doubtful anyone will ever top this version of the song. He is a true master. Incredible to say the least.
Ok-- yes David was sick during this performance.. which makes it even more impressive, if that’s even possible- **HOWEVER**- for all that are saying do the official video- he DID do it- that why he’s now doing this one- he explained this at the beginning of the video- so, now he has BOTH on his channel for our enjoyment- thx again Leo- ❤️✌️
David is a trained cantor. Classically trained. Never uses auto tune. He always says why do something on an album if you know it can’t be done in concert it wouldn’t be fair to the Audience. And on this night. He was actually sick with the flu! And he still sounded amazing.
Conan's production inserted a little autotune in this performance because of fear that he might not sound great because he was sick and David was pissed upon knowing of their plan.
The crazy thing that you don't know about is that Paul Simon wrote this while he was having a fever. He had a dream about this scenario where he was seeing people looking at glowing neon objects on their faces that were appearing to radiat from their hands.... He also talked about how we were communicating through this without speaking etc... Paul Simon was a freaking prophet and he was describing people on their cell phones looking at things on social media decades before it ever happened. He was talking about the fall of the human race and are complete dependency on technology, our phones... The mark of the beast
This was one of the two songs my step father had for his 26 yr old son. My brother. Rest in peace. I hope to see you soon, just not too soon my brother. Your nephews miss you. 😢
This dude LITERALLY takes the power of the voice and the song of Sound of Silence and combines them with PHYSICAL reaction that mimics ALL OF OUR HEARTS AND SOULS. The ABSOLUTE BEST REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THIS SONG IS, FROM ALL OTHER SONGS, and I've watched over 100 "reaction" vids on this song. Nobody but nobody captures the COMPLETE EMOTIONAL EXPLOSION of David Draiman's performance, like this Mr V does. Excellent expression of how I feel EVERYTIME I HEAR THE SONG, and I can't stop listening. BEFORE A WAR STARTS, THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE PLAYED IN THE SKY ABOVE ALL COUNTRIES...
- Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive. -Disturbed had been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance for their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" while appearing on Conan. -David: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right."
Disturbed did a version of "Land of Confusion" originally done by phil collins when he was in the group Genesis. You would enjoy disturbeds version but the video for genesis is trippy;)
My dad is 70 and has the most pure, sweet singing voice I've ever heard, he always catches me trying to record him and stops, the song he is always singing is called Tell the people I love them
I love David Draiman's voice. It's so calming to me. Even Disturbed's more Metal/aggressive songs have a calming effect on me because his voice is just so soothing to me. He's incredible.
I love your reaction! There was a "little" bit of auto tune, but he didn't want but. Conan's production team insisted on a little bit of it because David was sick with the flu & bronchitis plus a high fever. He still sounded amazing!! This version is amazing and gives me all the feels!❤❤❤ This reaction earned my subscription to you!
I usually do not like remakes, but this is different. Like Johnny Cash owned Hurt, Disturbed took this song to a whole new level. I am awed every time I hear this.
Yes that's his real voice, David draiman is incredible,he can sing anything 👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸 it's amazing to think he was real sick when performing this & it's this incredible 👍🎶🔥🎸👍🎶🔥🎸 This isn't typical of disturbed,try reacting to prayer, inside the fire, stricken, indestructible,stupify & another way to die.All are 🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶
I think I read somewhere that David Draiman was classically trained. This is obvious to me that he was. To be able to vocally go from the a beautiful bass to a breathtaking high . This man took his usual Disturbed voice that is so powerful and earth shaking to a voice of an angel,,, a powerful angel. His song The Light is one of my favourites . You should check it out.
This is a live performance but I want you to notice what you DON'T hear. The audience is dead silent. Not a peep. That is the power that this man and this song have.
Riveting! I love it!
@@downunder1811 I'm so jealous!
The first time i heard this, that was the first thing that i noticed. Audience was totally silent! I can't get enough of this one!!
See how the channel owner is completely transfixed during that first verse. He was jsut like the audience.
The audience is the sound of silence.
Paul Simon himself gave Disturbed’s version his stamp of approval. That’s HUGE.
No disrespect intended towards Simon and Garfunkel, but this one of those exceedingly rare cover tunes that surpasses the original. I always felt that the original should have been grittier... had more angst... hard to explain.
He didn't just give it his stamp of approval. He said it was now their song.
@@Qmocean That is a cool thing to do.
Paul Simon said when he heard this version that this was the way it was meant to be sung and that it brought him to tears...🖖🏻🇨🇦❤️
@@Qmocean no he didnt.. that was Trent Reznor to Johnny Cash. people mix those two all the time.
Paul Simon sent them a letter saying he very much enjoyed their version
I think it’s pretty perfect that you have that pillow “Words Fail, Music Speaks” pillow on your couch. This version of SOS does EXACTLY that.
I keep coming back to this reaction…by far the best I’ve seen! You’re a gem to watch
I am 63-years-old and remember like it was yesterday when Simon and Garfunkel released it on Sept 12, 1965. The version by Disturbed left me in tears and ripped my soul out of my body, LOVE IT!
Same age, lol, my boyfriend in the 90’s played this song to me in front of a beautiful fire, this beats every version I have ever heard, might even be my fav song ever sung by anyone….
I did the same
You just perfectly described how I feel when listening to this version of this wonderful song. 👏🏻
This song was released 7 days after I was born! Still into the 70's I used to listen to S&G all the time, this is a timeless classic and Dave just made it even more immortal! I have heard Disturbed version probably 300 or more times. I can't stop listening to it. My mouth was open the whole time I sat and watched it. I was expecting to hear it destroyed and there I sat almost destroyed me. It almost brought me to tears. Rock on!
They really are both great. Disturber’s version punched me in the chest.
Simon and garfunkle's version was a warning, Disturbed's Version is an anger of the warning ignored. Awesome cover!!!
Nicely put!
Exactly
A warning of what?
@@brianmeyer4151 have you listened to the words?
@@brianmeyer4151 technology taking the place of real human contact, self absorption, etc. Don't just listen to the lyrics...hear them.
David Draiman has the most incredible voice. He could sing the names of a phone book to me and I'd be all starry-eyed 🤩
No matter how many times I hear this song I still get goosebumps.
Same!
Me too!!! But don't you mean CHILLS? ♥
@@misspattifromcali.6955 Well, goosebumps and chills are the same... I get the same feeling every time I hear it by Disturbed, No disrespect, but this version is more moving to me than the original.
Yep.
He also had an intense head cold when he pulled this off. You can hear the congestion in his baritone register. Just impresses me more.
Watching a chatty man get silenced by David's voice is something that is amazing to see. It's a stunning performance for a sick man who is sitting on a chair while he does it. He totally floored me too the first time I listened to it. One of the best live performances of all time.
Highly underrated vocalist; one of the BEST live performances I've ever seen!!!
FACTS!!
Diamonds and rust by judas priest is also a solid live performance
I saw Disturbed in a live double-headliner with The Offspring.
They both rocked their damn cocks off!
So much energy. Sounded as good live as on their albums.
And he was sick... like literally 😅
@@cassandrahepp6445 yeah, crazy to think he can be sick and still sound that good. Part of why this performance is so impressive.
By the way, he's a classically trained singer who turned his talents to metal.
It is damn beautiful
He has an amazing voice
More common than you think
That explains quite a bit...
His voice is amazing.
When he sang this, he had fever, he had flu ! He is incredible, every time I listen to this I get goosebumps !
I never really understood the words before when Simon and Garfunkel did it but, when I heard Disturbed's version...I was sobbing, I finally understood what the song was about and I felt the pain in which it was written. Kudos
When I first heard this rendition, I sat with my mouth open the whole time. I played it over and over again for a month. Seriously!
Same! I was in complete awe!!!
me too
"This guy has got a growl to him"...you have no idea bro, just go down the Disturbed music video rabbit hole here on youtube :)
Lol
@@Romans10910Love dead on my brother 👍
OOOH AH AH AH AH!
David Draiman has quite a growl!!
@@Lost_n_Found_1 😂
This is what professional vocal instruction produces in the *most* talented students.
He simply didn't just cover a song, he made this song a powerful experience. One of the most unique voices in music.
The original was a warning, this was telling us that it might be too late ❤
His reaction is one of my favorites!! But, this is my favorite song, favorite singer ever!
A masterful performance of a classic. Bravo.
Good God did he do justice to Paul Simon's lyrics. So fucking epic, one of the great covers and performances ever.
Paul Simon liked their cover so much that he, at the time, promoted it on his own twitter feed. That's high praise from the songwriter!
it's the song that's good just not this cover
“No one dared, to disturb the soooooound...of silence.”
No one...except Disturbed 🤘🤘
That'd be some shit if that was what lit the spark for them covering it in the first place.
The crazy thing is, the guy was seriously sick (that’s why he’s sitting down) and he produced this performance. Only thing close is Freddie at Live Aid.
❤😊I am a 75 and I want to adopt you!!!! You are my favorite reactor. Your knowledge of music is wonderful your reactions are off the chart. I enjoy you so much!!

You are absolutely the oddest duck I've seen react to these songs - and I've seen alot. And you know what - I LOVE IT! OMG you are so intense and fun to watch. Loved this reaction. so much fun to hang and love your vibe, brother.
funny side to this - when you start getting animated, you remind me of Bobcat Goldwaith.
I agree this is the first time I actually Laughed watching a reaction to this. And it was AWESOME!!!
He is like a car wreck you can not stop looking at..lol
He is cool, I think so too. I don't get tired of watching & listening to this cover by Disturbed. It's simply amazing! And like all of you i love seeing the reactions from everyone on here.
Oddest duck 🤣🤣
One of the best reactions ive seen love it!!
I wish Disturbed & Evanescence would do a collaboration. David Draiman & Amy Lee would sound amazing together.
Easy tiger, the world ain't ready for that level of ASWESOMNESS! 😁
The sound I just made was not human...
OMG Yes!!!
David does not use autotune. He was sick during one performance and show thought they had to autotune and did it without his approval. He was PISSED! He is a great singer. And trained cantor
his performances are autotuned to shit hahah. Sounds good but humans can't hit those notes
@@TheHi_King Really I think fans of Whitney Houston would disagree with you, He can sing as he is a trained opera singer
@@TheHi_King I beg to differ. I can hit those notes, sang soprano in highschool. I was trained by a man who could hit notes much higher than I could. Singing takes training to do well, and people have been singing beautifully before technology ever existed.
@@TheHi_King why? When people dedicate their lives to singing, I'm pretty sure some can hit those notes.
@@Kim-ss5bb I think you missed the point!!!!
David has one of the most beautiful powerful voices ever ❤️🌹
"I don't think he's human" 🤣🤣 I think you are right, David Draiman has a supernatural quality about him.
It was an epic performance!!
Read somewhere that God asked David if he wanted to sing like an angel or a devil. David said yes.
Woe- That songs like 60 yrs old. Perfect for our times. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening. Great line.
You were hooked in the first few seconds but by 3' he owned you!
And, as many do , by the time he "growls" you know you're under his spell!!
Thats the best cover I've ever heard. The only way to describe it is haunting.
Haunting, a perfect descriptor. I can’t stop listening to this.
@@dianesylvester156 haunting was the original. Disturbed was more up in your face with the meaning of the warning.
LOVE YOU REACTION LOVE LOVE LOVE, DAVID GRABED ANOTHER SOUL HIS SINGING REACHES IN GRABS YOUR SOUL, PULLS IT OUT HOLDS IT IN HIS HANDS AND MAKES YOU TAKE NOTICE OF WHAT HE IS SINGING ABOUT AND THEN GENTALLY PUTS IT BACK IN AND LEAVES YOU SPEECHLESS WITH GOOOOSEBUMPS AND A TEAR ROLLING DOWN YOUR FACE I KNOW I WENT THERE TOO AND I AM IN MY LATE 50'S I WAS AROUND WHEN SIMON AND GARFUNKEL SUNG THE ORIGINAL- DIDN'T QUIET UNDERSTOOD THE SONG THEN I RELIZED IT WAS A WARNING ABOUT WHERE HUMANITY WAS HEADING WHEN THE B&W TV CAME ON THE SCENE ANOTHER PART OF TECHNOLOGY AFTER THE RADIO AND TELEPHONE (TV- BRIGHT LIGHTS) WAS TAKING OVER AND HUMANITY EVEN STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH AND ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD AT THE TIME WAR,HOMELESSNESS,JOBLESSNESS,CLIMATE CHANGE,HABITAT DESTRUCTION ETC ETC
SO THEIR SONG WAS A WAAAAAARNING AND 50YRS ON......... HUMANITY DIDN'T LISTEN WE ARE MORE OBSESSED WITH TECHNOLOGY TODAY AND IT HAS RULED HOW WE SEE THE WORLD AND THE WAY WE LIVE...... SAME ISSUES WAR, FAMINE, HOMELESSNESS,JOBLESSNESS HABITAT DESTRUCTION ETC ETC ETC........ SAAAAAD
DISTURBED'S COVER-WTF HUMANITY YOU DIDN'T LISTEN THE FIRST TIME AND NOW IS OUR LAST CHANCE WE NEED TO WAKE UP MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ALL THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD BECAUSE IF WE DON'T TRRRRRRY THERE WILLBE NO TOMORROW :(:(:(
I ONLY KNEW OF THIS BAND (DISTURBED) ABOUT 2YRS AGO AFTER LOOSING MY HUSBAND TO AN AGGRESSIVE BLADDER CANCER AND MY SPECIAL NEEDS SON WANTED THIS SONG TO BE PLAYED AT HIS DAD'S LIFE CELEBRATION CREMATION SERVICE WE DID AND THERE WASN'T A DRY EYE IN THE CHAPEL BECAUSE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THIS SONG IN THEIR OWN WAY AND WE TOOK UP A COLLECTION AND BROUGHT "KIDS CANCER PROJECT BEARS" AND DONATED THEM TO OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR THE KIDS AND HE HAS LEFT A WONDERFUL LEGACY BECAUSE WE DO THIS IN HIS HONOUR EVERY YEAR
GOD BLESS PLEASE HAVE A WONDERFUL 2022
HAPPY LISTENING
MAYLIKE TO LISTEN TO A FEW OTHER DISTURBED SONGS LIKE "A REASON TO FIGHT" AND "HOLD ON TO YOUR MEMORIES" JUST TO NAME A FEW
AND BY THE WAY ON THE APPERANCE ON THE CONNAN SHOW DAVID WAS VERY ILL WITH THE FLU AND WAS ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL THE NIGHT BEFORE NEEDED IV ETC BECAUSE OF DEHYDRATION, THROAT INFECTION, HIGH TEMP ETC AND THE NEXT MORNING HE DISCHARGED HIMSELF (MORNING OF PREFORMANCE) BECAUSE HE SAID "THE SHOW MUST GO ON" AS YOU CAN SEE HE IS SITTING BECAUSE HE WASN'T WELL ENOUGH TO STAND AND HE ALSO WAS CONTROLLING HIS VOICE DUE TO SORE THROAT ETC BUT WHAT A OUTSTANDING PREFORMANCE WOW WOW WOW :);):)
I absolutely love your reaction to his voice. I completely agree!!
When I saw them in concert, no one made a sound in this song. His power in this song was unmatched and as hard as he rocks, he sings just as hard. That’s music.
I've watched your reaction to this song maybe a dozen times now. Each time I enjoy it more than the last.

Te revienta, te modifica y toca el alma humana modificandola, con..está VOZ de otro mundo extrema las emociones, necesitando escucharla hasta la eternidad,. Obra maestra debe ser escuchado en todo el mundooooo
As the song progressed your face mirrored the feeling of the song. Truly a Great reaction!
"and the people bow n pray.. to the Neon God they made!" truer words have never been spoken. think of society holding their phones( looks like theyre prayin, smdh!) 💯👍🏼💯
Neon God's been around for ages now...
Amen brother.
More like worshipping fame n celebrity
Sound of silence in drop D, who knew how beautiful this dark song could be.
Even Paul Simon was beside himself.
I've always loved this song, but he put the goose pimple into this song and gave it a depth it never had.
How was he beside himself? He just said that he liked it. That's it.
David Draiman is phenomenal when producing for other artists as well. Multifaceted/multitalented. As a metalhead, I have a soft spot lol
\m/
Very soft spot here too lol
Stricken is still one of my all time favorites. Especially that guitar solo .
Who else has he produced for ?
He's kinda yummy too. 😁✌️
You totally get it and he got ya ! Got right into your soul you feel what you hear.
"I'm Coming to kick this man's ass he's wonderful!" Lol I'm dead no truer words be spoken
The word "Prayed" has never been sung with more passion, neither before, nor since..... ever!
5:16 ...and Mr Video felt it!
No matter how many times i hear this version, it still blows me away every...single...time!
This song.... there are no words to decide the beauty, depth and meaning it conveys.
I enjoy watching some stuff on TH-cam. But music-wise? This song is the best, be it audibly, visually and/or emotionally.
This song is my favorite to watch reactions to. I've only seen one group that didn't feel the lyrics like this.

Merry Christmas!
this is the definition of singing with heart/passion/soul/intensity while making people actually HEAR the words while being moved to tears.
"And the people bowed and PRAAAAYED..."
Gets me every time
when you do "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" by disturbed for god's sake do the EXPLICIT version, not the cut-up half-song thats played on the radio.
I love David Draiman's voice. It's hauntingly beautiful. He's so talented.
I have heard this song at least 100 times. I can still remember where I was the first time I heard it, and it still gives me chills every time.
David Draiman trained in Israel in his early years as a Cantor in the Jewish faith...and has a few degrees to boot!
Made me laugh when you said, "do not piss him off!"
Down With The Sickness is a good one.
Funny part though, is David is one of the sweetest human beings alive lol.
I about spit out my drink 🍹
When I first heard his version of this song I was addicted and would listen to it on repeat. It's embarrassing how many times I played it in a row. Lol
Same here.
This is me right now. I don't even want to know how many times I've listened to it.
Dangerous for me because I can't breathe while he's singing it. I loved the song when it was new, but this is something else entirely.
Try Disturbed-Down with the sickness
Great song
that may actually scare Mr.Video lol!
Is there a video for the full version? If there is, that's the one to do. Maybe an audio only version?
Gina Galletti Lol

Your sincere,honest responses so closely match my own, and I relate so much to your emotions, especially your surprise and joy, that I feel a strange kinship to you, even though I’m old enough to be your grandma. Keep on keeping on,my friend. Trust your intuitive instincts. I’m proud of your work.
u have to love this guy for his honesty
Being a disturbed fan 🤘 this is a masterpiece 🙏
Really is
I became more of a fan after this song. Amazing.
Absolutely. I have been a fan since they began in my teens. Doubtful anyone will ever top this version of the song. He is a true master. Incredible to say the least.
Damn bro. I could see his tone was hitting you deep in your soul. Now that’s songwriting/storytelling at its most timeless.
TH-camr : OMG WOW THAT GROWL
David: Hold my beer ( Combines growl with power voice)
TH-camr: OMGWTFHOLYSHEEETGODDANG !
Me: YES EXACTLY
i dont even know how to descibe this guy,this song,his voice,its just grabs you and pulls you in,💯
I've heard that he had the flu when he performed this and refused auto tuning. Best reaction to this song I've seen.
But the TV production team added it in post, David was maaaad. He absolutely hates this video
Disturbed are great! The night, stricken, indestructible, asylum, prayer, down with the sickness. All good! Love from New Zealand
I gotta say , Disturbed is the only one that rivals Simon and Garfunkel . His voice is so un- matched .
By far one of the best covers I've ever heard, always gives me chills.
Vocalability! That is a great word! He has it.
I could listen to this version all day, thank you Disturbed...
Ok-- yes David was sick during this performance.. which makes it even more impressive, if that’s even possible- **HOWEVER**- for all that are saying do the official video- he DID do it- that why he’s now doing this one- he explained this at the beginning of the video- so, now he has BOTH on his channel for our enjoyment- thx again Leo- ❤️✌️
He didn’t react to the video. Mr video reacted to the audio. The video gives chillss as well
this shouldve been a pinned comment so that it doesnt go un-noticed
@@sherryan1 he did react to the video- I just double checked...
No he did another performance not the video
@@carolmetzler1476 nope i looked too, hes done this performance and the official music video, cuz ive watched both from him
I've heard that song at least a million times and it gives me chills every time. Such a provokingly deep song
David is a trained cantor. Classically trained. Never uses auto tune. He always says why do something on an album if you know it can’t be done in concert it wouldn’t be fair to the Audience. And on this night. He was actually sick with the flu! And he still sounded amazing.
Conan's production inserted a little autotune in this performance because of fear that he might not sound great because he was sick and David was pissed upon knowing of their plan.
I tear up every time I hear this version ,of his voice doesn't physically effect you (tears , goosebumps,etc.) you have no soul
The crazy thing that you don't know about is that Paul Simon wrote this while he was having a fever. He had a dream about this scenario where he was seeing people looking at glowing neon objects on their faces that were appearing to radiat from their hands.... He also talked about how we were communicating through this without speaking etc... Paul Simon was a freaking prophet and he was describing people on their cell phones looking at things on social media decades before it ever happened. He was talking about the fall of the human race and are complete dependency on technology, our phones... The mark of the beast
This version was so good even Simon and Garfunkel said so
This was one of the two songs my step father had for his 26 yr old son. My brother. Rest in peace. I hope to see you soon, just not too soon my brother. Your nephews miss you. 😢
Yep. U will meet again but not yet.
This dude LITERALLY takes the power of the voice and the song of Sound of Silence and combines them with PHYSICAL reaction that mimics ALL OF OUR HEARTS AND SOULS. The ABSOLUTE BEST REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THIS SONG IS, FROM ALL OTHER SONGS, and I've watched over 100 "reaction" vids on this song. Nobody but nobody captures the COMPLETE EMOTIONAL EXPLOSION of David Draiman's performance, like this Mr V does. Excellent expression of how I feel EVERYTIME I HEAR THE SONG, and I can't stop listening.
BEFORE A WAR STARTS, THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE PLAYED IN THE SKY ABOVE ALL COUNTRIES...
- Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive.
-Disturbed had been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance for their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" while appearing on Conan.
-David: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right."
guy has a history in operatic singing - so he not only has a great rock voice, but he can really bust it out.
Disturbed did a version of "Land of Confusion" originally done by phil collins when he was in the group Genesis. You would enjoy disturbeds version but the video for genesis is trippy;)
Is that the Genesis video with puppets. I think it's 80's characters.
@@anitraharrisbickham383 yes
@zhuull1 but entirely different visual videos.
I hated disturbed version because I hated the genesis version. Never liked that song,
Was on every five minutes in the 80’s
My dad is 70 and has the most pure, sweet singing voice I've ever heard, he always catches me trying to record him and stops, the song he is always singing is called Tell the people I love them
You were feelin the mighty Dave bro! Even while sick, he’s still a vocal powerhouse.
One of my favourite reaction videos, thank you from the uk
I love David Draiman's voice. It's so calming to me. Even Disturbed's more Metal/aggressive songs have a calming effect on me because his voice is just so soothing to me. He's incredible.
I love your reaction! There was a "little" bit of auto tune, but he didn't want but. Conan's production team insisted on a little bit of it because David was sick with the flu & bronchitis plus a high fever. He still sounded amazing!! This version is amazing and gives me all the feels!❤❤❤ This reaction earned my subscription to you!
Disturbed is one of my favorite groups, David has such a unique voice that definitely gives you goosebumps, especially with this song.
had mr.v hypnotized there for a minute
I usually do not like remakes, but this is different. Like Johnny Cash owned Hurt, Disturbed took this song to a whole new level. I am awed every time I hear this.
Love the cover of this. His vocals are phenomenal.
Yes that's his real voice, David draiman is incredible,he can sing anything 👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸👍🎶🎸 it's amazing to think he was real sick when performing this & it's this incredible 👍🎶🔥🎸👍🎶🔥🎸
This isn't typical of disturbed,try reacting to prayer, inside the fire, stricken, indestructible,stupify & another way to die.All are 🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶🔥🎸🎶
This cover gave me chills the first time I heard it...still does at times.
I love your reactions! He sang it so well with no auto tune. Just pure talent. The orchestra is what makes the song perfection!
I think I read somewhere that David Draiman was classically trained. This is obvious to me that he was. To be able to vocally go from the a beautiful bass to a breathtaking high . This man took his usual Disturbed voice that is so powerful and earth shaking to a voice of an angel,,, a powerful angel. His song The Light is one of my favourites . You should check it out.
Everything about this song. His voice. Drums. The whole vibe of this song is just 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🧡
