David Draiman...amazing range and control...a powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do . He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful and pure tonal properties to it! ...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Loved your reaction Jon.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! David is easily in my top 5 vocalists of all time, and definitely in my top 2 baritones!
I'm sad that you didn't watched right to the end, when Draiman dropped back into a softer range to finish the song, so you've missed a key element of his vocal talent there me thinks. Also, when he performed the song, Draiman was quite ill with the flu but smashed out of the park all the same. There were some audio corrections which Draiman was not pleased about, but the Conan producers insisted on otherwise.
You can keep your fancy opera singers....give me the velvet voice of David Draiman every time. 💕💕
I love David Draiman, he has continued to improve every year! There is something about lower tonality vocalists that I love. Other good examples are Corey Taylor, Ivan Moody and a lesser known one Tommy Vext of Bad Wolves.
Totally agree ❤️💕❤️💕
He...he...he was a Jewish cantor...he trained as an opera singer...before Disturbed. He also has a business degree and was a healthcare administrator.
I think there's room for appreciating ALL talented musicians, from "fancy opera singers" to this and all points in between. No need to dismiss talent irrespective of the genre. That's my view anyway. My musical library reflects that view.
Couldn't agree more. However, I was merely expressing my personal opinion and delight at the sublime David. xx
I still remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving home, late at night... and listening to the radio... I had to pull over to the side of the road, as it HIT me that hard.
Thanks for the comment! I have a similar experience with Untitled by Knuckle Puck (th-cam.com/video/m6yED9alU98/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=riserecords). It was like 2:00 am on my way home from a 15 hour day at the catering company I used to work for. I was on the secluded dirt roads I live on and Untitled came on. I hope you check it out, it's a lot punkier than Disturbed, but I think you'll enjoy it.
Best Cover Ever.., Phenomenal Voice... I've listened many times and it grabs me every time ❤️
He had a fever and felt like $hit, but you would never know. He’s that good!
Thanks for the comment, I had no idea he was under the weather during this performance. It takes a lot to put that much into a performance when sick! Thank you for letting me know that!
@@JonHooverMusic It's pitch corrected. You can hear it. The notes are snapped to the line. That's not David's natural voice.
He didn’t want it to be pitch corrected and told them not to do it. You can notice near the beginning, he looks over to the side the first time it’s done. He wasn’t happy about it.
David gave an amazing performance especially considering he was sick with the flu and had a fever of 102. He was sitting because the producers were afraid he might pass out.
Fantastic vocal analysis, but even more is that you picked up and commented on the arrangement of the instrumentals building up. I have watched SO many reactions to David's rendition of this song, and you are the first to bring that up, and I appreciate that. Also, your description of David's vocal abilities is fantastic, even giving an easy to understand way of knowing which vocal cords are used to make it happen. I have that ability to do that with my voice as well, but can not figure out how to do the falsetto at the same time as David does. He is truly a Sultan of Swing :D
Thank you so much, that all means a lot. The fact that it was simple to understand for you means that my goal has been accomplished! David is one of the best!
It’s like reading a book and not reading the last page . I was left disappointed that you didn’t watch to the very END
I strongly suggest the Official Music Video. I loved your reaction to this cover. Official Music Video
the imagery is fantastic. so much symbolism. I am a child of the 60's when Simon & Garfunkel released the original in 1964 I was in high school, back then I considered it kind of country-ish, I liked it but the message didn't pierce the soul. This cover by Disturbed along with the video is the BEST it touches your soul and really gets S&G message to the core of my being and many others too, goosebumps and tears every time. "Neon God" in the 60's TV the advancement of technology NOW there is so many more especially cell phones. "Neon light that split the night", I remember when neon light would turn on there would be a crackling sound thus touched the sound of silence.
Suggestion = The official video by Disturbed “Hold On To Memories” was released Jan 23rd 2020. “Hold on to Memories" is about not only honoring those we’ve lost, but also making the most of our time with those we still have.
I highly suggest you listen to the original from the 1960's by Simon & Garfunkel. The amazing journey David took this song on...unbelievable.
I love that version of the song as well! Simon & Garfunkel put an odd stillness to the song that really makes you feel the sound of silence. Disturbed give it this huge flow of sound an emotion, they turned it into more of an epic. Thank you for the comment!
I'm gong to be honest. When you said 'you're too young to know 10,000 fists' I felt a pain in my heart. But I also was so excited to see this reaction because of that.
Hope you liked it! 10,000 fists came out when I was in kindergarten, but it has become a go to listen for me. I have the CD version, and every song sounds infinitely better than mp3 from spotify!
You darn neared spoke through the entire music
I really enjoyed your reaction and especially your explanation of what David was doing with his voice and vocal choices. It's hard to believe that he was so sick during this performance that the band insisted that he sit because otherwise be might have collapsed!!
Thank you! I was informed that he was sick after I posted the video, which makes teh whole thing that much more impressive!
Good analysis
It's Never too late for Awesome Music! I listen to all kinds of Music and I have made it a point to Hear New Stuff, Old Stuff, and Old Old Stuff! Got my Ears to wake up, and Say WOW!!! ✌
Oh yeah, I love this rendition of this song, but the Simon & Garfunkel version brings a whole other charm to it!
@@JonHooverMusic Paul Simon heard Disturbed's Version and loved it so much that He put it on his Play List. How Cool is That!!!😎
That is really cool! Interesting bit of history!
I can't believe YOU DIDN'T FINISH the video! You have no idea what perfection you missed. I hope you've gone back and watched it by now!!! I almost took away my Like!
Te envuelve cada nota y te lleva a lo más profundo del alma humana y las emociones, LO MEJOR, DE OTRO MUNDO. quiero morir con este tema!!!!!
PS....but you didn't watch right to the end.....
I did, but for copyright purposes I left the ending bit out. I made all of the points I wanted to without it! Thank you for the comment, and for watching the full video to find that out!
@@JonHooverMusic that is the dumbest thing anyone other than a politician ever said... give it up Jon you are about as knowledgeable as a 3 year old...
I liked your video and your reactions until you cut the end of his song off. For me that is the unpardonable sin with any performance, you don't chop off the last few seconds. It is why I will not listen to another one of your reviews, you blew it on the first listen. Not cool
Sir, you did not finish the song or his performance which garnered a 10-minute standing ovation and applause from the audience, a nomination for a Grammy, and the backstage people coming out to see who was singing. I suggest 2 things: finish the video and watch the studio version for the visuals which was done in 2015. I am 76 and have listened to Simon & Garfunkel plus a bunch of other singers doing Sound of Silence; only after hearing Disturbed last year did I finally understand the song. The studio version doesn't include this orchestration; it is less but still great.
Nienawidzę pseudo-jurorów, którzy swoje mądrości wygłaszają przerywając utwór!!!!
DO KOŃCA WYSŁUCHAJ I DOPIERO KOMENTUJ I GADAJ!!!!
Just listen to the song!!!! Don’t think you have to explain every little note. You did miss the ending-why?????
I can really get that depth of his voice. You should of let the song to the end to really get him. He is the most diverse singer. He was classically trained before that heavy tone. 😆 the way you used the low key to keep it. The sound reminded me of The Grudge! In a great way.
Look into how to recognize autotune. You congratulate him on a flawless jump when you should be congratulating a computer.
Great technical explanation of David's amazing vocal control. Many thanks!
Thank you!
It’s almost like god said to him do you want the voice of a devil or an angel and he turned round and said both please
Talked way to much during the song. Wait till the end !!!
Okay did I miss something, you cut it off at the end .
You have to stop interrupting the singer so often.
I really loved your knowledgeable reaction. Just need to point out that the colored flashing light (fireplace? Tv?) Whatever it is, it's on the edge of the frame to your left, and I found it extremely distracting, maybe consider covering it or changing your camera angle.
Thank you for the comment, and compliment! That is my PC, I think I have figured out a good remedy for that problem not in this next upcoming video, but the one after that!
Great reaction! I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this! Also, Disturbed is so good!
Thank you! I agree my favorite album is Ten Thousand Fists!
David is a trained Jewish Cantor.
The fact that he has such mastery over his vocal chords and sound choices, intonation, and the performance of the whole musician group❤
How can you cut the end???????????

Thanks for your very thoughtful comments!
Thank you for the kind words!
you talk too much.
What's Ironic is the first time they released the song in 1964, on the album "Wednesday Morning,
3 A.M." , with an "s" The Sounds of Silence, which was was completely acoustic, the song and their debut album were a complete flop, causing them to quit and disband, Simon moving to the U.K and Garfunkel back to Columbia University to finish his degree. Almost a year later the song started getting some radio play on college stations, then getting requests to be played on terrestrial radio, so their former producer Tom Wilson remixed the track adding in some drums and a few subtle electric instruments, and re-released it in late 1965, when it finally shot up the charts.
Paul and Art, separately weren't even aware of this until they saw the Billboard Charts in the morning paper, and saw that their song sitting at #1. While they weren't particularly happy with Tom Wilson, especially Paul, for tinkering with their song, they couldn't really complain about the results, and their new found success, so Paul flew back to the states and they headed back to the studio to record their second album aptly named (minus the "s") The Sound of Silence, and the rest is history so to speak.
This wasn’t your first listen to this song. Why didn’t you let us hear and watch his incredible ending?
Thanks for the comment, due to copyright I leave out pieces of the song. I was able to teach what I wanted to without the ending. I do agree that the decrescendo at the end of the song so that it causes you to be more intimate with the singer, and smack you in the face with silence is incredible!
Then you should know that the singer from disturbed is classically trained
You can't just say he's classically trained without specifying he's trained as a _chazzan._ You can be classically trained in a lot of styles, but he was specifically trained to sing nuschaot, piyyutim, zemirot. He was trained to lead hymns and it really shows.
@@titaniumvulpes you can when you've done your research
Sings it amazingly well considering he is clearly under the weather. Great song, and I like this better than the original. I think the darker take on it works better with the lyrics than the bright sound Simon and Garfunkel gave it.
You really should watch the official video of this. I must say one of the best videos I have ever seen. The night he did this on Conan he was extremely sick the day before and he was still sick when he went on stage but like the trooper he is he did it and he did it fantastically. But you really should watch the official video to see what he can really do with this song.
Thank you for the comment! I have seen the original video, and the studio version of this is in a bunch of my playlists. The reason I watched the Conan version of this is because studio singing, and live singing are two very different worlds. I have more experience, and knowledge in live singing, so I can speak into that world and offer my viewers more value by reacting to the live version of songs.
"I was too young to enjoy 10,000 Fists and their earlier albums"
They still sell them, you know, lol. They aren't age restricted.
Believe is their best album, by the way.
Yup, I believe I own it on CD. 10,000 fists came out when I was 5, which is way too young to listen to that album. I did get introduced to Disturbed in middle school when I got a ps2, and played need for sped with Stricken, and Decadence on it.
@@JonHooverMusic I figured it had something to do with me being an old dude, lol. They are probably the best band for metal that has come out in the 2000's. My first concert was Iron Maiden and Accept back when I was barely a teen in 1985. In 2000, I went to see Fuel and had no idea who was opening for them - it turned out to be Disturbed and they blew fuel away, wasn't even close. I went home that night, and the next morning, bought that first CD and it didn't come out of my player for a month!
I have seen them 3 more times since then, and they kicked ass every single time. I am not even that familiar with all their new stuff, anything past 10k fists, since I have gotten old! Anything I have heard rocks, though. Believe has always been my favorite, with the first one being a close second. You'll never go wrong with them, and David Draiman's voice is something you have to hear live to fully appreciate.
You didn't let him finish! Wtf?
I had to take my "like" back and stop watching your video before it was finished. You talked so much throughout the song it was impossible to enjoy. I found you quite informative and I do love learning things new to me. However.... Your constant chatter became just too much to endure. I would suggest that you listen to the entire song before commenting. You can always replay the portions of the song that illustrate the information you're trying to convey....during your comments.
I hope you can accept this critique in a positive light. I am only trying to be helpful... not negative.
Here's a fun fact during this live performance he had cold
I got work passes from every show you mentioned LOL
I like your assessment of David Draimans vocal choices. Thank you. I love this version of Sound of Silence. Listen to it often throughout my day. Nice articulation of his voice. 👍
Thank you!
Enjoyed your reaction and explanations but my guy, it's much less jarring if you skip back a few seconds of the song after pausing. You hear more of the lyrics also. Great job though!
Thanks for the comment! That is actually a really good idea! I will implement that in upcoming videos.
@JonHooverMusic Great! Looking forward to more videos!
Bad timing on interruptions for comment
The original was a warning these is saying wake up too late
Enjoyed your knowledge of music! I've been binge watching reactions to this song and you impressed so much that your channel is the only one I subscribed to. Nice job! I could listen to this song all day!
Thank you very much! That means a lot to me, and my goal with this channel is to teach! I'm very glad that you got a lot from this video, and thank you very much for subscribing!
Can you please react to
The chemicals by Garbage
Please
I will gladly look into it! Thank you for the comment!
Awesome thanks I can't wait 😊
So your another yacker instead of listening to the music first
he thinks he knows something important or maybe even correct and the world must hear his voice but it is really only himself listening... LOL... you are right this guy is worthless...
@@debihorton6807 I am usually watching to see the "Reaction"... stopping it all the time means to me they are not reacting just moaning... if I want to listen to the song I don't need to look at their face I have this thing called TH-cam... Sorry Debi he is just a very very poor reactor.
@@debihorton6807 The guy doesn't "know his stuff." If he knew his stuff, then he'd be able to recognize Auto-Tune a mile away. "Analyzing" an Auto-Tune vocal performance is like "analyzing" a magician as if the magic is actually real and the rabbit really did appear out of nowhere. It's imbecilic.
Excellent, knowledgeable, and perceptive review. Turn that flashing light thing OFF please.
Thanks for comment and compliment! That's my computer I use it to add some white noise to the background of my videos. I'll try other settings that could be less distracting! Sorry that took away your enjoyment of the video.
@@JonHooverMusic Flashing lights can cause an epileptic to have a seizure..
@@pickle581 Jon's reactions can cause uncontrolled vomiting as well...
David wasn't very well on this performance. His voice was pitch corrected and augmented, you can hear the notes snapping on to the line, yet you give it full marks? Compare with the original, please. You're a vocalist, how did you not spot the use of software on this. You don't need an analyser, you can hear it. Almost Karaoke level software! David's voice is unique and always very slightly under or over the note, his vibrato covering the note. Software snaps it directly to the note, losing a lot of his natural vibrato and soul.
The version on the album was either Melodyne pitch corrected or Auto-Tune, and the O'Brien performance was Auto-Tune. Both versions are abominations.
@@siberianhusky5874 The OP @JonHooverMusic has not commented on the manipulation of Draiman's voice despite giving the recording full marks. The silence is disturbing!
@@ThePflcpsa Actually, Draiman was fine for that "performance." It wasn't even performed before an audience, it was performed in an empty studio 11 days before it aired.
I didn't like your reaction. You stopped at the most critical places and didn't get to hear much of the song!! You show that you have knowledge of music, but you didn't show any feelings like you didn't like the song.
did you really have to pause it with just seconds left of the song... sorry had to dislike this one.
