It's a shame really that whoever it was decided to use auto tune. I don't believe it was David's choice to auto tune, but I could be totally wrong about that.
It seemed even alot of Disturbed fans were accusing the band of auto-tuning it up. So David wanted to perform it live as soon as possible. He also said that he had a cold during this performance. Which is so badass and fearless thing to have done!
The S&G original version, had no anger, or power. It was 1960s' flower music- HIPPIE SHIT. Really pretty and soft. I LOVED THIS ONE WAAY BETTER!! BTW~ We sung it in chours. Our music teacher played the piano! To this day, I am still confused about what sung.
Why would it be surprising that a metal band could produce quality music? Technically, metal is harder to produce than most other genres. I.e. it takes more technical skill to produce (not saying the music is better, per se). The only other genre that comes close is probably jazz (which in some cases definitely surpasses metal).
I loved this song as a kid (by S&G), but David gave it a heart. The original is like recounting a strange dream, Disturbed is like a message from God, and you better get it out there. Powerful command of his voice, and a tremendously talented band overall. Orchestra was for the song.
As an atheist myself, I have to say that attitude is what's wrong with the world. I may not believe in any god, but if other people want to believe in a higher power, who am I to tell them not to? They have their own reason to believe as I have my own not to believe. Stop making yourself sound like a self enlightened deuche telling people what they can or cannot believe in. Extremism is what's wrong, be it in religious beliefs are or in any other area, so don't spread stuff like that
@@RB94Productions i mean i want people to realize the truth faster lmao, religions are made to control the masses no idea why not everyone is "WOKE" yet like Sweden is 90% atheist now and they are doing really well as a country rn. So maybe they are doing something right? I'm trying to spread atheism as priests long ago spread other religions. Simply here to help.
@@nikolayvakareev9094 mate, one thing I've learned over the years is people are able to believe in a higher power without believing in the religion itself, I've met people like that, who believe in god but also know the church is only there to, as you stated, control the masses. And I understand your intentions, but you just can't kick the door open and say "stop believing!". This is something that will gradually change in due time, theres no need for fights over mundane stuff as these, just let people be, changes will happen sooner or later.
Welcome to f**king Goosebumpville my friends. Disturbed's cover on the old Simon and Garfunkle's masterpiece "The sound of Silence" is blowing the original right out of the bloody water. The fealing in the song is right bloody marvelous.
If you have ever seen disturbed live his voice is heavenly!!! I know they are a rock/metal band but his voice is so smooth. No matter if he adds the grit and growl of metal or singing like he just did. This is my favorite cover of all time. His voice has made that song much deeper emotionally than it was already. Thank you for doing this cover.
No he was not sick stop lying. He had a vocal cord lesion th-cam.com/video/idFt3y9HlYI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wrg7jVBST8scRsyC There’s the video of him talking about it
The original of this song was sung by Simon and Garfunkel, I grew up with that rendition, I am 64. They sang it as a warning, and Disturbed (David) is a heavy metal singer, he is singing like he is telling us to listen. I get cold chills everytime I hear this one. He did an awesome job with this song.
I think the best way I can compare this version to S&G's is that S&G were giving us a warning of things to come and Disturbed's version is expressing anger that nobody listened.
6:20 Classic David Draiman. If you haven't heard of Disturbed by now, you have to go back to their debut album, Down with the Sickness, amazing stuff, 20 years later and I still crank it when it comes on the radio.
Outstanding description; thank you so much for doing this. I remember listening to Disturbed when they first came out, and thinking “there’s no way this guy will have a long singing career singing like that”, but you pointing out that it’s healthy when done as a choice(which, being untrained, I couldn’t tell pick out) explains perfectly why he’s been able to do this for so many years. Fascinating stuff.
Your analysis is spot on. I’ve been singing for decades and most people don’t understand compression and how to get out of a note. Obviously the singer in this video does it perfectly, and as you noted, he also knows when to add the growl and the metal sound for emphasis. Perfect execution and perfect analysis.
As a (former) 3 octave bass/baritone, I absolutely love this version! He blends that rich baritone soloist I was trained to be, with that rock n roll karaoke tone I came to love in my 30s.
Yes, and no. He's trained as a Cantor / Hazan; a Jewish musician or precentor trained in the vocal arts who helps lead the congregation in songful prayer. They have a separate training regimine from specific classical training, though it contains a lot of the same material / techniques. :)
@@calgmail No I'm dead serious. All you have to do is play ear piercing music, and get someone who can scream at the top of their lungs for extended periods of time, and you have heavy metal. This cover actually showed that he has the talent for real music. Not just teenage noise.
@@calgmail I have listened to a lot of Disturbed's early CDs. As well as numerous other metal bands for comparison. That is all I've heard from any of them. Just loud, senseless noise. So you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to hear them actually singing for a change.
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."
Dr Lyons, wrote a book on how to hold your air stay powerful, His wife was an opera singer and helped. She teetered me when I was 4 long after she had retired. My grandmother knew her. She was clearly older than my grandmother buy about 20 years on her. Mrs Lyones was famous in late 1890! She tought me at age 4, ond on until my biological mother ruined everything. I was being raised by my grandparents
I love listening to the reactions of this performance from people who are not familiar with Disturbed and hearing them comment how metal/rock his voice gets. It makes me giggle every time.
That's insane who good his voice is live. Even though his music is usually a lot heavier and dark, he can still control his voice into a lighter, happier tone at first, then eventually makes it a bit more heavier and emotional as the song goes on.
One of the best singing critiques of this song on TH-cam, by far! I have a heavy sense that you can take a normal singer to a much higher level with your informed assessment! Two thumbs up five stars!
Conan O'Brian said in an interview that by the time the second verse started, every single crew member working backstage had stopped what they were doing and they had all come out to watch this performance like moth's drawn to a light. Conan said that was the first and only time he had ever witnessed that happen during his 20+ year career as a Talk Show Host.
Take the live version from Tampere 2015 instead. She's got a lot more comfortable with the older songs since 2013, where she showed that she is the Wonder Woman of Metal by learning a hard setlist in no time. And if you want a good cry, listen to Sleeping Sun from the same night. It's always been beautiful, but it became perfect.
I never knew "Reaction" videos were a thing! Just found out 2 days ago. This song/video is being reviewed by a dozen reactors. For this live version from "Conan", he was recovering from flu. The got a Grammy nom for this. David Draiman is clasically trained, comes from a family of Orthodox Jewish Cantors, sings metal usually. Such control, such emotion!
I've come across the same - comments said he had a 102F fever and was advised not to perform. His band mates convinced him to sit in a chair as they were concerned he would become faint. I didn't even notice the chair the first few times I watched it. The chair was a similar color to David's outfit plus the low lighting hid it well. Standing up, sitting down...David has a magnificent voice.
Sound of Silence is a philosophical song. To me it describes how society has moved away from self-reflection and self-improvement, and instead chooses to blind itself with distractions. The original Simon and Garfunkel version is a timeless classic, but whenever I hear it now it comes across as apathetic and resigned to these developments. Disturbed's version is angry, frustrated, disappointed, but more importantly, it's *challenging* . It is *challenging* you to be better than society through its tone.
watched several of these voice coaches reacting to this video and you all do the same thing, wont shut up and just listen to it ...hes not thinking about it like youre play by playing it, hes just talented and natural which is why is soft, rough, crisp and beautiful like a snow covered mountain
David was classically trained, so his ability to have the type of control he has with his diaphragm muscles isn't unusual for people like this. It's rare nowadays that singers are classically trained, at least the ones that have become popular. and even more rare for singers of David's genre of music to be. I love his voice and wish he'd showcase his range more than he does, although, his later works he does seem to be doing that more! I enjoyed your analysis, and you picked up a new sub!
He's also classically trained. Yes, he's a metal singer.....but he has great control bc he's classically trained. I love him and his voice. Just saying. His voice is his instrument. Great voice.
This performance is actually better, in my opinion, than the official music video of this song. I don't know if Draiman had some extra vocal coaching before he went on Conan, but whatever he did, it paid off beautifully. This is an exquisite rendition.
Amazing. Live. SITTING DOWN!....loved the reaction! New subscriber. Loved everything about this reaction and of course this performance. Out of this world talented. ❤
Metally, yep, that's what he does. This is really out of his wheel house, but, he can do it. He was asked by i think a producer to do this song, and he was surprised, but the producer of course sees so many people and music geners, he knew he could do it. And it was indeed a great match. If you wanna see what he normally does, well, look up the other most famous song, "Down with the sickness".
Hey guys, What's truly great, & missed by most critics, about David's & Disturbed's cover of Simon & Garfunkel's masterpiece "The Sound of Silence" is how closely they follow the original song. The could have easily "Heavied it Up" a lot more to appease their fan base. And I'm sure it would've been great either way. But they didn't They recorded a fantastic updated cover of the original. They didn't have to, but they did, at great peril to record company expectations. And as it turned out, it payed off. EVERYONE loved it. In my opinion, this is what music is all about. Freedom. Peace. JR
One of the greatest covers ever!!! Love it!!! Nice video and btw.... Talking about singers with ability to sing cleanly or add that grit.... Ummm let's not forget one of the most amazing vocalists ever... Chester Bennington.
I've been a disturbed fan for over 10 years and am so happy that more people are appreciating the band. Here's a fact, David draiman, the singer, actually wrecked his voice many years ago and required surgery.
I really enjoyed your analysis ........ About the lyrics of the song, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning. The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.
your the second voice coach I've seen react to The Sound of Silence I have to say your reaction was a lot more enjoyable to watch but I know a good song and this cover is pure gold btw I'm not a singer I do sing but most don't call it that :)
Love it! On the subject of singers that can shift between distortion and clean on a dime, I am curious what you would think of Devin Townsend, (of Strapping Young Lad, Steve Vai, others).
Always amuses me when voice coaches react to a version where David Draiman is feverish and sick with the flu. This is not his full potential. And he still blasts most people away^^
The way he sings this song puts disturbed’s name on it. He makes it his own rendition. And fuck does he do it well he doesn’t try and copy Simon and Garfunkel. He sings disturbes version of it
I want to see a singing coach react to Dani filth vocal range and talents regardless if you hate cradle of filth or not he's one of the top singers in the music world
best voice of this century for sure! very very hard to compete david draimans ability and will most likely hold that podium for generations to come. note to carl, you must be a real vocal coach, i can tell from your true love of musician talent. unlike that skanky slapper bint tara simon studio's who is a pippy popper antares fan who seems fearful of actual talent.
I think these videos should be the vocal coach listens to the whole song first,without the constant annoying pause and then listen to it again breaking it down however they feel is best..just to get a real feel for the song n to be more famiar with it.Dont rob yourself n ur audience of riding that wave or taking that journey that the song takes u on,that's the best part about this song in my opinion.Its a beautiful passionate raw voice that keep a us listening but the story behind it is what touches the soul.
What's impressive, is that he produced that voice LIVE. A lot of vocalists can't reproduce the same sound live as they did in studio.
what i find strange is that apparently the producer of the Show thought Disturbed needed a smigeon of Autotune. they really don't.
It's a shame really that whoever it was decided to use auto tune. I don't believe it was David's choice to auto tune, but I could be totally wrong about that.
It seemed even alot of Disturbed fans were accusing the band of auto-tuning it up. So David wanted to perform it live as soon as possible. He also said that he had a cold during this performance. Which is so badass and fearless thing to have done!
He actually notices the autotune when he starts singing if you watch his facial expression
IMO this live version sounds even better than the studio version of that cover.
Hes a trained Cantor. He comes from a line of Cantors.. AND THIS IS STILL THE ONLY VERSION PAUL SIMON HAS AUTHORISED
And it can be heard why
It definately shows.
For a metal band to cover this song and to do it so well was incredible and I like they increased the anger in it
Do you mean the power?
The S&G original version, had no anger, or power. It was 1960s' flower music- HIPPIE SHIT. Really pretty and soft. I LOVED THIS ONE WAAY BETTER!!
BTW~ We sung it in chours. Our music teacher played the piano!
To this day, I am still confused about what sung.
@@jyggalag9838 there's not a huge difference, really.

“Listen to the darkness...”
...I have been, since it came out in 2002. Lol
Anthony Gleeson d the sad thing is is that not many people are going to get this reference
Kat Hall unfortunately you’re probably right.

Why does this comment only have 4 likes? This is a perfect analogy.
Because its been said on every video connected to this cover by 100’s of people
LIstening to this version, in 2020, the "neon god" is Donald Trump. It certainly describes his hair and skin coloring.
💯
6:20 Classic David Draiman. If you haven't heard of Disturbed by now, you have to go back to their debut album, Down with the Sickness, amazing stuff, 20 years later and I still crank it when it comes on the radio.

They are amazing live, if you get the chance to see them you should
DO IT! Seriously, Draiman can command an audience like few others. Disturbed is one of those bands that is actually better live than in studio!
His voice is so pure on this when when I close my eyes, I can imagine it as if he's just talking and telling a story.
David has a phenomenal voice. He sings as well as any instrument you can here
Love the original, but this version gives me goosebumps! So powerful and amazing!
He is incredible! Nowhere to hide in this arrangement. I read several times that he was very sick when he was performing this too! /m\

I second that. Dimashes latest is right up his alley. :-)
Hey guys,
What's truly great, & missed by most critics, about David's & Disturbed's cover of
Simon & Garfunkel's masterpiece "The Sound of Silence" is how closely they follow the original song. The could have easily "Heavied it Up" a lot more to appease their fan base.
And I'm sure it would've been great either way. But they didn't
They recorded a fantastic updated cover of the original.
They didn't have to, but they did, at great peril to record company expectations.
And as it turned out, it payed off. EVERYONE loved it.
In my opinion, this is what music is all about. Freedom.
Peace. JR
One of the greatest covers ever!!! Love it!!! Nice video and btw.... Talking about singers with ability to sing cleanly or add that grit.... Ummm let's not forget one of the most amazing vocalists ever... Chester Bennington.
Cb blows. He was beyond awful Live
LOVED this performance.
His voice/this song: He of reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot
The lead vocalist of Disturbed is David Draiman
I've been a disturbed fan for over 10 years and am so happy that more people are appreciating the band. Here's a fact, David draiman, the singer, actually wrecked his voice many years ago and required surgery.
Nice recognition of a talented singer.
His name.... Is David Draiman
Oh by the way, thank you for not saying he is usung auto-tone.
I really enjoyed your analysis ........ About the lyrics of the song, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning.
The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.
He has an amazing voice, he is a trained cantor
You talk too much. Antone with a good ear for music knows that he's building
I swear his voice on this song is the most profound thing ever
David was also battling a cold at the time of this performance and still sang like that.
honestly...for me to understand what your saying....and this such a boss song...TY...for breaking this down...enjoyed it !!
your the second voice coach I've seen react to The Sound of Silence I have to say your reaction was a lot more enjoyable to watch but I know a good song and this cover is pure gold btw I'm not a singer I do sing but most don't call it that :)
Just amazing voice
The most amazing rock music singer of all time as far as my opinion goes.
Wonderful break down of David man.. awesomeness.
To me David Draimans voice is Biblical.. he is a vocal Master.
My favorite part of this video is that he's just chilling on the couch
Blue underwear. I don't like pants either
Oh and I love this version of sound of silence
I love his ability to sing. Even sick.
That was awesome
It was nice of this guy to get out of bed to do this.
Hes excellent, was actually sick here❤❤❤❤😊😊
🤘 Disturbed best band ever🤘🖤 absolutely love them! David has the best singing voice.. no one comes close to him🖤
One word beautiful.
Love it! On the subject of singers that can shift between distortion and clean on a dime, I am curious what you would think of Devin Townsend, (of Strapping Young Lad, Steve Vai, others).
Always amuses me when voice coaches react to a version where David Draiman is feverish and sick with the flu. This is not his full potential. And he still blasts most people away^^
I love Disturbed and System of a Down.
That is the best cover of that song. Better than the original. I guess he decided to do it because he wanted to prove he could sing not just scream.
Keep in mind, he was sick when singing this. If you want the true version, watch the music video.
Cool vid, always loved that song and his voice but nice to get a professional breakdown of it, its a subject i know very little about. Cheers.
David Dramian is classical trained and would explain how powerful his voice is....
you should react to their song Down With The Sickness
The way he sings this song puts disturbed’s name on it. He makes it his own rendition. And fuck does he do it well he doesn’t try and copy Simon and Garfunkel. He sings disturbes version of it
I want to see a singing coach react to Dani filth vocal range and talents regardless if you hate cradle of filth or not he's one of the top singers in the music world
Ahh Glenn Hughes, what a voice :)
David draiman was trained as a cantor in Israel to be a rabbi but ended up going into music instead just a little background
Well played squire, I liked listening to what you had to say about said song. You got a bit of R brand about ya. Goodluck
David had the flu and a fever of 102 when he performed this.
best voice of this century for sure! very very hard to compete david draimans ability and will most likely hold that podium for generations to come. note to carl, you must be a real vocal coach, i can tell from your true love of musician talent. unlike that skanky slapper bint tara simon studio's who is a pippy popper antares fan who seems fearful of actual talent.
Funny story, Franz, he was sick during that performance XD
I think these videos should be the vocal coach listens to the whole song first,without the constant annoying pause and then listen to it again breaking it down however they feel is best..just to get a real feel for the song n to be more famiar with it.Dont rob yourself n ur audience of riding that wave or taking that journey that the song takes u on,that's the best part about this song in my opinion.Its a beautiful passionate raw voice that keep a us listening but the story behind it is what touches the soul.
Well reviewed and explained.
1st time seeing one of your kids man! will not be the last!
4:42 was the easiest autotune to catch on to. Everything else was beautiful and genuine.
David Draimen is a vocal GOD
Love u carl
