No, you're not. I'm with you on that. I never tire of hearing this version, I remember the original being a teenager at the time but this one is stunning.
Fulfillment & remessaged...when Simon & Garfunkyl did this song, it was light & loving. David Draiman 's Redinition was sad & angry. It is a message, from a higher power.
Paul Simon liked this cover so much he put it on his own channel. He stated he wished they had done the original with this intensity. That's a heck of a compliment from the original writer and singer.
There was one point where Conan's people used autotune. David was pissed about that. That man doesn't need ANY autotune. He was seated because he wasn't feeling well. Flu I think 🤔
Let's not forget that the original artists came out publicly and declared this as belonging forever more to Disturbed. 😁I still get chills every time I hear it.
No he didn't, here is Simons Mail: "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I’d seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." What your'e thinking of is probably what Trent Reznor said about the Hurt Cover from Johnny Cash.
The way he delivers the line "and the people bowed and prayed...to the neon god they made" always makes tears spring to my eyes. The raw power there is just so beautiful and moving
I might be projecting some, but the anger, the frustration, and the desperation all seems to really come to a head at that part to me. This song to me is about how we're talking _at_ each other, not _with_ each other. We're ignoring the people at the other end, and just propping up what we're talking through. We're always talking about and to the constructs that seperate us, like being a Democrat or Republican or Asian or Black or German or Mexican etc. instead of talking about and to people. Because under all the BS that's what we all are, people. I very much have been feeling those feelings for most of my life, so again this might just be me projecting that ball of emotion on that line.
@@guardian33 well, that line in particular does pretty aptly describe him and his followers despite the fact that it was originally written long before he was ever in politics.
Has anyone ever noticed the total silence of the audience? They were stunned into silence until several seconds after the song ended. As amazing as the performance is, imagine being there for it...
That's what REAL talent does. You get lost in it. It engulfs you and taps into your soul. It takes you on a journey. When you ride a rollercoaster you don't immediately jump up when it's over do you? You take a few seconds to gather yourself because you just had an amazing experience. That's what the audience experienced.
I hope ppl can truly understand the meaning behind these words. I prayed for mankind in the 70's when this came to my ears. Now I pray even harder with tears streaking my face
I grew up with the original and think its one of the best songs ever written. Lyrics and all. However Disturbs version is amazing and I love it. He makes it there song in a way for the times of today. This song has been covered sooo many times over the years.
The remake is good with his intense deep voice, but what made this song so special from the beginning was Simon and Garfunkels harmony. So many tried to duplicate it and couldn't quite make it. A solo could never exceed that quality and mastery.
I heard him say, in an interview, that when he decided to cover this song, he wanted to do it in a different way. He took lessons to sing vibrato, and that it's the hardest technique to do well. I think he nailed it, because of his early training.
I played this video for my dad, who was a BIG S&G fan and I grew up on them thanks to him. I loved watching my dad’s reaction to the video after which he said, “I bet that’s the way S&G wanted that song to be heard.” My dad is gone now, but it’s a great musical memory I have.
When I compare the Simon & Garfunkel's version to this, I feel like S&G version is telling you what will happen if we don't listen & Disturbed's version is telling you what DID happen, because we didn't listen. Now it's time to start over. Now listen this time. I loved when the timpani came in. I find myself holding my breath.
I'm a 56-year-old man and I know Simon and Garfunkel and their songs! Well, wait, I don't know Simon and Garfunkel themselves! To me this cover of a song is the best cover I've ever heard!! And I've heard thousands of covers! Every time I hear this song, just listening to the energy and the heart that he puts into the song brings tears to my eyes!! I've always loved this song and I truly love this cover!! Great job Disturbed!! Thanks 👍🏼❤️
I get chills every time. Tears rolling without me knowing. I played this for my husband before he passed. He had tears rolling. Beautiful, powerful and perfect.
How you make an all time classic even better is remarkable. Disturbed rendition of the original is so powerful it commands its own respect. The singers voice is extremely powerful.
My mouth dropped when I heard him singing this. Loved it when Simon and Garfunkel. However, Disturbed took it to a whole new level. His talent highlighted the song even more. Then sealed it with a kiss. It's hard to take an original and make it your own. I'm truly addicted to what he had done. BRAVO
The original version of this song by Simon and Garfunkel was acoustic. It didn’t do well in the charts, so their producer convinced Paul Simon to speed up the tempo and add an electric guitar. The rest is history.
What I had actually read was that Simon and Garfunkel had nothing to do with the re-made version of the song. Paul Simon was in England by himself after their first album, Wednesday Morning, 3AM didn’t do well. The record company hired musicians to put bass, drums and electric guitar on the acoustic track from the original acoustic version of the song and it was this version that became a hit. Neither Simon or Garfunkel were aware of it until it was released.
@@HarriBestReactions He was really sick, fever, weak, that's why he sat on this high chair throughout the whole performance - he wasn't in his power at all, but under these circumstances it was an incredible performance! And their version is great, the best cover of the song, and I say this growing up with S&G and LOVE them and their Sound of silence... 😉😘
I loved both of your reactions. I am a big fan of Disturbed, and most people would not think he had such a smooth and almost velvet like voice. I do pay homage to Simon and Garfunkel, this song has so much relevance today, as when it was first written! When I see people that have a wealth of musical knowledge, such as yourselves, I learn why it is I love this particular re-make! Thank you!🧡
David was so sick when he did this live. That's why he is sitting in the stool. The guy playing the piano is actually his lead guitarist. Still sounded amazing.
im 60 and this version of this song when i 1st heard it shook me more then any other song i ever heard and still has that same effect on me everytime i hear it
I too am 60, so I grew up hearing and loving the S&G version (I even sang it in choir), but I was shaking, blubbering, and covered in goosebumps when I heard this version. I had to learn more about this man with an unbelievable voice. As someone had posted in the comments of another reaction video to this song - David was asked before being born into this world, "Do you want to be able to sing like a devil, or like an angel?" His answer: "Yes."
The original songwriter/artist Simon, gave the highest praise. He said this song is now as much David's as it is his. Simon meant it as a warning. David's version is now what happened when no one heeded the warning. In today's world, with our tweets and selfish for likes....we don't even speak. People. Have somehow forgotten the beauty of true communication.
Aye, i always thought it was hinting at the invention of TV: References to 'the flash of a neon light' and also 'the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made' certainly hints at our devotion and addiction to electronic devices. Although the original would have been referring to only tv's, but now its PC's, gaming platforms, Phones, ipads etc. As a result, everyone has lost the art of conversation.
The original song is about the dying of music, and the creation of electric sound, which has flooded the music industry for decades. But the words are so powerful, you can attach what ever meaning you feel is relevant and it will fit. I agree it does resonate with society's move to a technological independent culture over the past habitus of community shared ownership.
This song idc how many times I hear it I get goosebumps and tears. I have seen them live Davids voice is just beautiful and so damn powerful. I wish he would play the phantom in phantom of the opera on Broadway.
😱Wow!! His voice is like the finest-tuned instrument. Powerful, intense, emotional and perfect tone in any range. I like this cover even better then the original S&G version.
David has an awesome voice! You were right...not many people realized what a magnificent voice he has because he's usually using grit/distortion...so you can't really hear what he's capable of doing. Here you can hear it! Great reaction guys!
I LOVE this song. He became able to reach that deep growl due to a throat surgery. He has an amazing voice and range. I'm a Disturbed fan for life❤ This song was very healing and comforting to me after the suicide of my ex husband🌹
"And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon gods they made" - makes the hairs on my arms stand up every time. It just seems so poignant. I love the official video of this, it has a much grittier feel - especially on the line above.
I was 16 years old when Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel released this song. It will always be the original and belongs to the ages. It is said that the music that we hear in the formative years of our life remains a special emphasis throughout our lives.
I never cared for the original when I was a teenager, but when I heard this version and as a 71 yr old I just loved it and I played it over and over again and put it in my bank. 🇺🇸
Really like you including your friend and while watching you kept checking his reaction. Shows solid friendship. His reaction are also cool, very subtle but clear. Great combined discussion with both points coming. Thanks for this twist to your format. Worked well.
The lead singer is David Draiman, he was originally trained as a cantor when he was younger. The vocal distortion he sings with is his trademark, easily recognizable from any song they sing. When this came out, Paul Simon heard it, and said that the song belongs to Disturbed now, and posted it onto his Twitter page. It's the only time he's ever done that for any artist. He said his version was a warning, and sad, and this one is angry that everyone ignored his warning.
It has been said elsewhere that the original by Simon and Garfunkel was the warning, where Disturbed's is the rage because that warning was not heeded.
One night im singing along with this...my daughter came from her room saying you are a bit loud,i can hear you from the other end of house..shhhh..she is 24 and about time she moved out...lol.my house my singing.
This song by Disturbed is HAUNTING!!!! It is in my favorites on TH-cam and I listen to it at least once a week. One of the best covers I have ever heard in a live setting.
Great cover reaction Harri and friend!!!! You made my Sunday!!!!!! Thanks for that hombre!!!!! To me Simon and Garfunkel were telling us back in the 60’s when I first heard the song to get our shit together or the future won’t be pretty and David’s version is saying oh well the shit has now hit the fan!!!!! Just saying. So says Austin Tx!!!! 😍😍😍🍸😎
Think of where we were in the 60's and the warning Simon & Garfunkle gave us through Paul's lyrics; think of where we are today, through the lens of this masterful arrangement David Draiman and Disturbed gave us - and of the anger we should feel that we've failed to listen to Paul's warning. Then think of where we're headed...
MR.Harri!! I really enjoyed this one! Especially since you brought your Pal in to Class-Up the joint! LOL! I liked what both of you had to say! Great Reaction!! CHEERS!!
Disturbed has been a staple in my life for almost as long as I can remember. This cover came as no surprise to me when I first heard it. Awed, but not surprised.
Nice review. They do take it more melancholy and darker. What a voice with so much character while keeping the essence of the song, in fact bringing even more gravitas. A lot of respect shown.
This is a nice version but I really love it by Simon and Garfunkel that’s one of my favourites, as is Homeward Bound. Nice to meet your friend Tevian, . ☮️
Thank you for choosing this song! You two are like a new "Lighteous Brothers"! 💕 (this came to my mind because I just watch your commenting of Unchained Melody...) 😊
Every time I hear this song I get shivers and goosebumps. A friend of mine wants told me that the band disturbed would be too heavy for me… And that may be true, but this song is one of the greatest covers ever made!
S&G studio > S&G live > Disturbed studio > Disturbed live. That ranking aside, all are excellent. Welcome to the channel, Tavion (sp.?). Any friend of the Guvnor's is a friend of ours. :D
I love this song. He was seriously ill when he sang this live version, that's why he was sitting down. The Original version is a plea for change, this version is a call to revolution if change doesn't come.
This is the Best Reaction video to this song that I've seen. ❤You guys, so eloquent and also musical knowledge. I'm not a fan of 'heavy/death metal' fan at all, but this gets me every time, it's such a BEAUTIFUL cover sung with passion and captured the true meaning of the song lyrics.
That version is so powerful. I can listen to it ten times a day. Stumbled on to you, I think because I’m always playing that song on TH-cam. I’m gonna hit the bell. 😉
This is an amazing cover. What I find most amazing is, that I love BOTH versions equally, even though they sound like two completely different songs. THAT, takes talent. Thank you for the reaction! ;)
When Simon and Garfunkel sang this they sang it as a gentle warning from God. When David sings it he sings it as an angry God who warns people to change their ways....quite apt for todays society I think.... Great reaction guys.

No, you're not. I'm with you on that. I never tire of hearing this version, I remember the original being a teenager at the time but this one is stunning.
No 😂😂😂 think ive watched em all well thght i had but new ones keep popping up 😅😅😅
I'm there with ya !
still doing it lolll
You are NOT!!! I have watched more than 25!!
This wasn’t a cover song. It was the fulfillment of the song.
Simon and Gatkrfunkel's was a warning. Disturbed was the judgement

I just learnt he was sick.Wow!
There was one point where Conan's people used autotune. David was pissed about that. That man doesn't need ANY autotune. He was seated because he wasn't feeling well. Flu I think 🤔
@@lnetscoutnshelby5691 He was literally so sick he thought he would fall over or pass out, David never sits when singing.
Agreed! Chills!
Agreed! Chills!
The anger in the line " and the people bowed and prayed ro the neon gods they made"..... DAMN!
Go listen to the music video version where he's not sick and actually in studio. It's even better.
Let's not forget that the original artists came out publicly and declared this as belonging forever more to Disturbed. 😁I still get chills every time I hear it.

@@AidanPryde09 It was in a reaction video I saw on here. I don't watch Conan anymore. With the exception of the performance disturbed did on his show.
@@thomasaitken7495 It is apparently a myth.
I do too. And I always get teary eyed halfway through….always.
Never ever have they said that, Dear Lord no.
In my humble opinion... THE best cover of any song ever done.... ever.
The way he delivers the line "and the people bowed and prayed...to the neon god they made" always makes tears spring to my eyes. The raw power there is just so beautiful and moving
I'll be honest. I always think of Trump.
I might be projecting some, but the anger, the frustration, and the desperation all seems to really come to a head at that part to me.

@@rodmoore1577 If he's THAT talented, how come he uses autotune here?
@@OzStick he didn't. The production team for Conan put it on the vocal against his wishes.
@@IcePrincessWHN So he didn't use Autotune, however Autotune WAS used? Splitting hairs just a tad, aren't we??
@@OzStick not really. Do you honestly not see a difference between choosing to change your vocals and having someone do it after you told them not to?

So agree
@kirk hall
Absolutely. This song imo puts Paul Simon over Bob Dylan as a lyricist. By FAR.
I've heard about 20 versions of this song. Disturbed has by far done the song justice. Try as you might the original version can never be beat.
The remake is good with his intense deep voice, but what made this song so special from the beginning was Simon and Garfunkels harmony. So many tried to duplicate it and couldn't quite make it. A solo could never exceed that quality and mastery.
Simon and Garfunkel were even blown away by Disturbed's rendition of this song.
He was quite sick while doing this song. He said his throat was sore and had a bad cold. Kudos for this performance.
Too bad the techies put pitch correction on his mic. Nearly ruins the otherwise powerful performance.
@@samhilton4173 even the vibrato sounds electronic
So that’s why I have a hard tome hearing him😅😭
Time
Actually I hear it better hear lmao wut
David Draiman was extremely sick during this performance and he still killed it!
The singer was trained as a cantor, so he was able to give the range needed. I love this version and it's become one of my most favourite songs.
I heard him say, in an interview, that when he decided to cover this song, he wanted to do it in a different way. He took lessons to sing vibrato, and that it's the hardest technique to do well. I think he nailed it, because of his early training.
He most definitely did it a different way and then some.
I played this video for my dad, who was a BIG S&G fan and I grew up on them thanks to him. I loved watching my dad’s reaction to the video after which he said, “I bet that’s the way S&G wanted that song to be heard.” My dad is gone now, but it’s a great musical memory I have.

How you make an all time classic even better is remarkable. Disturbed rendition of the original is so powerful it commands its own respect. The singers voice is extremely powerful.

I am guessing that was Clive Davis, or he was their A &R guy 😊
Ohhh they did that to David Foster on Whitney's I Will Always Love You. He wanted to go in and add things and Clive said no let it go the way it is...
Simon felt that this was how the song was meant to be sung.

When this came out, Paul Simon heard it, and said that the song belongs to Disturbed now, and posted it onto his Twitter page. It's the only time he's ever done that for any artist. He said his version was a warning, and sad, and this one is angry that everyone ignored his warning.
It has been said elsewhere that the original by Simon and Garfunkel was the warning, where Disturbed's is the rage because that warning was not heeded.
One night im singing along with this...my daughter came from her room saying you are a bit loud,i can hear you from the other end of house..shhhh..she is 24 and about time she moved out...lol.my house my singing.
I so appreciate your well considered comments about this song. Nicely done.
This song by Disturbed is HAUNTING!!!! It is in my favorites on TH-cam and I listen to it at least once a week. One of the best covers I have ever heard in a live setting.
The two bloke's have such listenable voices
Easily one of the best covers in music history.
guys you need to watch the video it will bring you to tears
Great cover reaction Harri and friend!!!! You made my Sunday!!!!!! Thanks for that hombre!!!!! To me Simon and Garfunkel were telling us back in the 60’s when I first heard the song to get our shit together or the future won’t be pretty and David’s version is saying oh well the shit has now hit the fan!!!!! Just saying. So says Austin Tx!!!! 😍😍😍🍸😎
Think of where we were in the 60's and the warning Simon & Garfunkle gave us through Paul's lyrics; think of where we are today, through the lens of this masterful arrangement David Draiman and Disturbed gave us - and of the anger we should feel that we've failed to listen to Paul's warning. Then think of where we're headed...
I've seen this performed live, imagine 20k + ppl watching this in awe and silence (no pun intended) it was amazing!!!!
Ever time I hear this version it just gives me chills. Just amazingly beautifully done.
I still get goosebumps every time I hear this particular version.
Absolutely magnificent ❤🎉
MR.Harri!! I really enjoyed this one! Especially since you brought your Pal in to Class-Up the joint! LOL! I liked what both of you had to say! Great Reaction!! CHEERS!!
Class up the joint 😂🤣😂
@@HarriBestReactions Heck Yeah!!!👍👍
Disturbed has been a staple in my life for almost as long as I can remember. This cover came as no surprise to me when I first heard it. Awed, but not surprised.
Nice review. They do take it more melancholy and darker. What a voice with so much character while keeping the essence of the song, in fact bringing even more gravitas. A lot of respect shown.
Hold on to the memories is another beautiful softer song by Disturbed. David has a voice that has been compared to the angels. Great reaction!
This is a nice version but I really love it by Simon and Garfunkel that’s one of my favourites, as is Homeward Bound. Nice to meet your friend Tevian, . ☮️
Thanx Cynthia..Its Tevian 😀
@@HarriBestReactions Sorry, my hearing sucks. ☮️🇬🇧
Absolutely beautiful! I never expected this from this group! Masterpiece!
Thank you for choosing this song! You two are like a new "Lighteous Brothers"! 💕 (this came to my mind because I just watch your commenting of Unchained Melody...) 😊
He has a beautiful voice . Just WOW
Every time I hear this song I get shivers and goosebumps. A friend of mine wants told me that the band disturbed would be too heavy for me… And that may be true, but this song is one of the greatest covers ever made!
S&G studio > S&G live > Disturbed studio > Disturbed live. That ranking aside, all are excellent. Welcome to the channel, Tavion (sp.?). Any friend of the Guvnor's is a friend of ours. :D
I love this song. He was seriously ill when he sang this live version, that's why he was sitting down. The Original version is a plea for change, this version is a call to revolution if change doesn't come.
Thank you for introducig me to this version it's wonderful .
I love both versions. But, Disturbs conveys the true message in the song.
This is the Best Reaction video to this song that I've seen. ❤You guys, so eloquent and also musical knowledge. I'm not a fan of 'heavy/death metal' fan at all, but this gets me every time, it's such a BEAUTIFUL cover sung with passion and captured the true meaning of the song lyrics.
That version is so powerful. I can listen to it ten times a day. Stumbled on to you, I think because I’m always playing that song on TH-cam. I’m gonna hit the bell. 😉
This song give me chills every time I hear it. It's such a beautiful interpretation. He gives it the angry tone the lyrics support.
This is an amazing cover. What I find most amazing is, that I love BOTH versions equally, even though they sound like two completely different songs. THAT, takes talent. Thank you for the reaction! ;)
This was my reaction exactly, so I’ll just say “Ditto”.
Ditto 😉
Me too but this one I watch more. Especially their video. It speaks of the world today.
When Simon and Garfunkel sang this they sang it as a gentle warning from God. When David sings it he sings it as an angry God who warns people to change their ways....quite apt for todays society I think.... Great reaction guys.
