David doesn't use Auto-tune; he HATES it. In fact, during the Conan performance that everyone is going to ask you to see, the producers decided to use it and it REALLY pissed him off.
What you're hearing is a natural affectation of his voice from years of being a Cantor.
My pick for a Disturbed song for you is, 10,000 Fists. 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽
Good recommendation. Gonna see them in July.
yeah i hate that people keep trying to push that Conan performance, so disrespectful to David ong.
@@jalliboy Conan version is Ok...the video is SO MUCH BETTER.
@@gregd6706 even tho it is opinion that matters, most still vote for the live version! I ho for the conan version, but the studio version is not far behind
@@jalliboy no they didn't. They used auto tune on the Conan show and David wasn't happy. Get your facts straight
ZERO auto tune here. David HATES auto tune. He's just INCREDIBLE
There is NO auto tune on this. Regarding the Conan performance: David was very sick and running a fever. The show used it in one spot because they didn’t think that he could hit the note- but he got up there and killed it! He was furious at the show for using it.
My favorite comment about this song is that Simon and Garfunkel's original version was a warning to the world. Disturbed's version is the anger that the warning was not heeded.
I love this comment 😊❤️
Absolutely right.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers After hearing this Paul Simon said that he and Art had written a song for their Generation, but Disturbed had created an Anthem for a New Generation. oh and David Draiman doesn't use Auto tune, that is actually his Voice
My favorite comment as well!
@@danewood2309 No, Paul Simon never said that.
You're gonna be blown away by David Draiman's voice. He has one hell of a vocal range. There is absolutely NO auto tune in this song. Trust me. He's a metalhead from Chicago.
He was born and raised in Brooklyn to an Orthodox Jewish family. His grandfather is/was a premier Cantor and they had high hopes for David to follow the tradition... obviously he didn't. Try "A Reason to Fight" live. Besides singing, he talks and listens to testimony about surviving addiction, depression and suicide. It's incredibly powerful how he includes the audience in. Amazing video.
@@user-eu7nl4cq2q wrong, it's full of auto-tune, don't believe the marketing and his lies. As a professional audio engineer of 2 decades I promise you this has been artificially corrected.
@@BuzzaB77 haha you are funny. Maybe choose another profession, because you clearly do not know what you are talking about. To confuse vibrato (while breathing out through his nose) with auto-tune... oh my
There is NO auto tune on this song.This is ALL David Draiman singing. You Have a beautiful voice!
There is no autotune at all ... Thats his own voice. He was actually a professionally trained Cantor. His voice is amazing
You are wrong sweetie 😯
Thank you!!!
David’s timbre has a natural resonance to it that reverberates in a way that sounds like auto tune, but it’s all him.
there is NO autotune in that recording
Wings of Pegasus did an analysis of it and there is something on it. He also analysed the Conan performance on the same vid.
Oh pleez yes there is pitch correction all over it and that's fine it's studio recording. There is overlay, dubbing and multiple track on most recordings people need get over it. I seen a muscian channel run the software over it!!!!! All tracks are cleaned on studio releases
@@hays9008 finally!!!!! Someone who understands that A) most studio recording of massive artists have be treated in some way and B) it’s not the end of the world and doesn’t mean anyone isn’t talented. Thank you, dear God! 😊💪
Erm he's a trained singerger from teen age lmao look at his history idiots
Cantor bitches u do it
Seen him in concert this is how he sounds. No auto tune used. Down with the Sickness is good one for their traditional rock. Their videos are amazing. Hey You is my current favorite.
Yeah, believe it or not, he doesn't use auto tune. He's just an amazing singer that was classically trained. Also had some training as a cantor.
As iconic as the original Simon & Garfunkle version was, I always felt there was a major disconnect between the happy and poppy sound on the song, and the dark melancholy and anger of the lyrical message. THIS is how this song was always meant to be done!
So true. I love S&G. They're my fave road trip music. But this cover grabs me in a way the original never did. This isn't a happy song, although it ends with hope.
Paul Simon loved this cover. I love both mainly because Simon and Garfunkel's felt like a warning to their generation about the cost of isolationism, censorship, and the worship of the sensational materialism vs David's vocal which feels both sad and furious about how those warnings went unheeded and we are living in a time that we were warned about. It's all about the thickness.
In the video, I think they projected-out the hazards of ignoring those well founded warnings from nearly 60 years ago...
Pisses me off too. A LOT.
rl
🤘👹🤘
Is it about being down with the thickness….. ( I’ll see myself out…..)
@@northof4912 you could have said going down on the thickness. I'll kick my own ass.
@@adamdunbar8260 😮
I can get down with the thickness😂
I see that others have suggested the Conan Performance. I agree because there is a 20-piece orchestra behind him for it, the backstage people came out to see who was singing, audience members said the applause and standing ovation lasted over 10 minutes, that performance was nominated for a Grammy, and it got over 100 million views. I would like the have a DVD of the video of the studio version with the audio of the Conan Show. David was sick with a fever when he did the Conan Show and still pulled it off. I am 76 and have heard the Simon & Garfunkel version and many others since but it was when I heard the version by Disturbed that I understood the song. The song "Hold on to Memories" is done very powerfully, simply, and cleanly; you might enjoy that one.
His voice is phenomenal. This cover is lovely, powerful, haunting and captivating,
Not since the original has a version of this song made me emotional. I never get tired of hearing this version.
Listen to him live and realize that he is just that damn good
David doesn't use auto tune. That is his real voice and he sounds like this in concert.
His voice is a beast, auto tone would not even cross his mind. His range is amazing and it’s real. His cantor background gave him his range, absolutely awesome.
Fun fact there actually isn't auto-tune, what you're hearing is actually a weird polyphonic nuance in his voice
There is absolutely NOT auto-tune going on. There is a live version of this (which is even better if possible) on the Conan show where the producers added auto-tune because David was sick that day. When he realized it, he was angry. He doesn't like it, and takes pride in not using it. He was trained as a cantor and just had that level of control of his voice.
wrong, I'm a professional audio engineer and musician of 22 years and I promise you auto-tune is all over this recording, AND the live performances. to a trained ear it is both obvious and unmistakable. horrible to listen to.
the fact that he's denied is just embarrassing any audio professional can hear the truth. either that or he has been careful with his words and said "auto-tune" specifically wasn't used, because that is not the only way of artificially correcting a vocal.
as a 41-year veteran of the entertainment industry i began mixing 20 years before the PM5D was released. Every sound preformed through a professional audio rig has processing, it's required for tuning to the room. with that being said, i do not hear any auto-tune. just a man with a unique singing style, and an insane level of control. we can agree to disagree. @@BuzzaB77
God love your heart😂😂😂 He HATES autotune. That is his voice.
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 is so unique as he actually puts vibrato on his distortion!....also VERY difficult to do...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Loved your reaction Melisa!
It’s very impressive. I think this song really comes into its own towards the end. His expression on some of the more distorted sections gives the song a lot of emotional hit. Thank you so much for watching Ruthie 🥰
@@SoulSingerDiscovers The entire song is a progression in emphasis from beginning to end, each layer building on the next to tell the story. ... anger/warning that the original melodic warning (by Simon + Garfunkel) was not heeded.
David hates auto tune! The man's voice is amazing. Why aren't we talking about his amazing range and passion???
David Draiman is born and raised in New York to a Jewish family. his parents put him in the orthodox school. he made his way thru school with several degrees and is a highly trained Shaiman i think they are called. he was teaching thru school and had a well and high paying job in hospital administration and gave it up to join Disturbed because he said that singing has always been his calling.
They are called Cantors and he is one of the best.
Disturbed is my fave band. They are a heavy metal band. But people say how Sound of Silence is different than their usual. Not sure I agree. Their songs are melodious even when they are heavy. And they have several songs like this one. They are more versatile than people think.
Hi Melissa, I loved the way you expressed yourself in reaction to this amazing cover of a classic song from the '60's. The thing which always amazes me when I hear David Draiman sing anything, is that he never seems to strain his incredible voice. His range is outstanding and his delivery seems effortless. I hear he HATES using 'Auto-Tune' (as others have said) which is so so impressive. I'd like to recommend Disturbed's cover of the old Genesis track 'Land Of Confusion' it's a brilliant video and once again, David's voice is outstanding. If you check it out, let us know what you think. Cheers! 🙋♂
Oh that’s sounds amazing! I’ll check it out. Yeah he really does have a great command of what he’s doing. Switching from clean vocals to fry is so impressive when done with such ease 😊💪
Melisa, loved your comments! I'm much older than you, grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. Love them. I love this version more. It speaks of today as the S&G song didn't. David had some classical training, opera, I read. The band does one cover a year. For this, they slowed it down and made it darker. Spent a lot on the video to make it right. Works completely. Have read that this is the only cover of this song that Paul Simon likes. I'm looking forward to more of your reactions. Thanks!
And when he did the Conan show, he was sick. He also has some serious throat problems and manages it with diet, a healthy life-style and I don't know what else. It's all about the voice. For which I'm really grateful! Thanks for your work, Melissa!
No no no you need to watch this live. It's EXACTLY the same, if not better.
I watched a breakdown of this song. It did appear to have some pitch correction done, but not full auto tune. Normally David does not use auto tune live (conan version was against his wishes) and he really doesn't need it.
Yeah we sent a message to some producer friends to ask if there was anything. They all were very noncommittal but they agree there is most likely pitch correction. Tbh he’s a great vocalist, and his performance on Conan was glorious 😊💪
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I looked up the video I saw. th-cam.com/video/v_h9-Cpn_uY/w-d-xo.html
I grew up with the Simon and Garfunkel version growing up in the 80s. And I believe I won’t be able to listen to that version ever again. I think this version gets the point of the song across better.
He's opera trained & that's why he's so amazing along with a beautiful voice 😊
If you want another Disturbed song, "the light" is an original from the same album.
The best choice for a truer representation of Disturbed would be " down with the sickness "
Yeah that seems to be the general belief for something representative ;)
He sings it live and sounds exactly the same!!
I've seen them twice in the concert and David and the band absolutely amazing. No auto-tune there he hates Auto-Tune
Many people will recommend the live version from Conan, but for me, if you really want to hear the greatest version of this song, check out the one with Myles Kennedy doing the harmony. It's stunning.
Will do my dude 😊👍
David's voice is so good he fools many so-called musicians into thinking he uses auto tune. He does not.
He does. Deal with it.
@@SoulSingerDiscovers He doesn't deal with it. The band, the venues he sings at, like Conan, and every producer and studio he has used are not ALL lying. He doesn't use it. Get over it and yourself.
@@Ingolenuru oh dear sweetheart. Perhaps you should check that because David himself said he ‘was forced to use pitch correction on the show because of sickness’ and made a big fuss about it. If you’re going to be a mindless sheep at least check your facts first. Bah little sheep. Also, I would get over myself but people like you keep hate watching my content and engaging so no. I won’t. 💋
You should redo this song but the live version on the Conan show. He was even sick during that performance. I think that will really knock your socks off. Brings me to tears every single time
I've never heard the term edge lord until today. Thanks for increasing my vocabulary
Glad I could help 😂
Simon of Simon and Garfunkel LOVED it…The original…He embraced it gladly…Timely
He's phenomenal and yes he's a trained classically... Best cover EVER!!!
I also would recommend you watch the video for The Light. Great song, great story great talent. No auto-tune.
Well I’m pretty sure it is so I’ve sent it over to a discord of producers so we can put it to bed. Not that I think it matter, he’s a great vocalist 😊💪
That is not auto-tune. David loses his mind when anyone uses auto-tune. If you listen to this live on Conan you will hear one spot where the show used auto-tune and David was pissed about it. He is classically trained as a cantor, his voice can do that on its own.
Sorry budola! It’s is auto tuned. You can hear it kicking in. There’s absolutely no shame in using it. It doesn’t say his intonation isn’t good enough it just says that in this track the microscopic way with which we listen to the lead probably wouldn’t forgive tiny fluctuations in pitch. I have seen the live and he does a great job 😊👍
I know I haven't the ability to discern Auto tune, however there are other vocal analysts I respect e.g. the charismatic voice and she doesn't identify any auto tune.
Wings of Pegasus did an analysis of the studio and Conan performance and there is pitch correction and maybe some auto tune applied.
@@julianginniver5785 the charismatic voice is great but she’s a performer like anyone else. Siding with her audience on something that’s not true I’m sure makes sense to her. Personally, if saying things I don’t mean, and being agreeable is the only way to have a large following. I’m quite happy with a small following where I pander to no one. Again, it’s not a judgement, he’s a great vocalist 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers I think both you and the people in the comments here are a bit hung up on the idea of autotune vs pitch correction.
Pretty much the best re-presentation/cover of a song ever by Draiman and the best reaction/analysis of his vocals on YT by Ms. Kelly.
Cheers Darlin'
Thank you!! He’s a wonderful vocalist. It was a good day at the office 😊💜
Best version of that song ever……Do Down with the Sickness next…..Excellent reaction 👍
Thanks my dude 😊
Disturbed did this live on Conan Obrien. Lead singer had 102 degree fever & nailed it! If you want to check it out.
Will do :)
To answer your question as to should he - they, have done the song. Absolutely.. An amazing cover and a song that speaks to today maybe more than it did then.
RRR'rs can't be that hard to say. Whenever Blackbeard couldn't find his whisky he'd say"RRRR, anyone seen my whisky?
Definitely listen to the live version on Conan, when he sings it with flu symptoms and a temperature of 102, he totally smashes it out of the park! ❤
Wow, you have an excellent voice. I bet you do an amazing version of I See Red.
I've watched both versions, studio and live, of the Sound of Silence by Disturbed probably 300+ times and my body still gets chills.
Thank you Chloe! I’ll check it it out 😊❤️
I am really enjoying your reactions and analysis.Well done. David is an excellent singer and I think he hits the emotional aspects of this song because of his training as a chazzan. I agree with many of your commentators; you should definitely check out his performance on Conan. Whether you do it as reaction or just for yourself is up to you. FYI Jinjer and Disturbed are going to be touring the US together this summer. That is going to be an amazing concert.
Thanks Jeff! I appreciate it. Yeah I checked it out and his performance is fantastic! He is wonderful. Holy crap that sounds amazing! I would pay too dollar for that gig 😊💪
Dont forget he did the version on Conan while sick.
David neither uses nor needs autotune. He has a natural range of B♭1-G♯5 and, as was said in another comment, all of the resonances and vibrato are him, and him alone.
Pitch correction or not, this statement is just straight up incorrect. Any singer who is recorded is no longer ‘just them’. Mics, rooms, EQ, plug-ins. No one’s voice if recorded is just them. But pop off sis
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Ok, you go ahead and mince words. You know exactly what I mean, though. By the time you're mixed and mastered you don't sound exactly like you did in the booth, either but that doesn't mean you had pitch correction applied. You heard auto-tune where there's no auto-tune. Don't straw-man it, just accept the error and move on.
@@terraphon go and read the pinned comment and click the link. The error is embarrassingly yours. Let me guess you read an interview where David talked about how he hates it. You believed a celebrity was speaking facts and now youre butt hurt because you don’t understand what it actually means. What an absolute clown. I bet your Facebook is filled with sensational articles you cite to people in real arguments. 😂
It is fun to watch you make comments about singers that those of us that already know it know "haha she has no idea what is coming".... Especially in a song like this that keeps ELEVATING and changing...
I really enjoy your reactions and the way you bring your personality and insights into it! :)
Hard to pick just one more Disturbed song to react to, they have so many good ones. I'd recommend maybe "Stricken" next.
Thank you Christine! I appreciate that. I’ll check out Stricken 😊👍
No there is no auto tune David D. In interviews says he hates that stuff & it would be best to watch his live on Conan Obrien version it is so much better
Paul Simon actually called him personally told him it was the best cover of the song he ever heard & actually promoted it on his social media. Also, David D. Is classically trained.
Excellent reaction. I love this song and this band. I'd still love to hear you react unleash the archers.
I do have under the arches on my list fortunately 😊 thanks my dude 💪
@@SoulSingerDiscovers hahaha that's a funny misprint "under" the "arches". Unleash The Archers from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada ❤ 🇨🇦
@@graciefolden2359 Ahhh!!! 😂 sorry there is a club here in Glasgow called under the arches 😂 hello over there in Canada. Thank you for watching 😊🥰
Great reaction! I wonder your face when you discover "UH-HAAA-HAAA-HAAA-HAAA"
This man is a master he does NOT use auto tuning.
You are not qualified to judge this amazing performance.
Eeerrrmmmm…. I don’t know how to tell you this Helen but David has a BA in Law and I have a Masters in Music. I am the definition of more qualified 😂😂
@SoulSingerDiscovers People talking without speaking .
People listening without hearing.
Sometimes the sound of your own voice can mislead you.
Ah yes! When in doubt, say a bunch of bland bullshit or post lyrics you didn’t write to avoid admitting you messed up your judgement. Jog on now you silly sausage. Or post a haiku 😂
Hold on to your hat!… Disturbed is nothing like ‘The Sound Of Silence’David(singer), used to be a Cantor for much of his youth and has an awesome range.
If anyone tells you this song isn’t representative of Disturbed because there’s no heavy guitar and drums, they’re obviously correct. HOWEVER, if anyone tries to tell you it’s not representative of David’s voice, they are absolutely and severely mistaken. What caught your attention at 10:15 to 10:20 is THE David Draiman sound. I would recommend 10,000 Fists or Stricken next, partially because of the range and because they’re “classic“ Disturbed songs, old and very well loved by fans so no one will complain about what’s “representative” of their sound.
I lost track of how many people told you that he DOES NOT USE AUTOTONE and you still can't get it through your head.
Just because lots of unqualified people say a thing doesn’t make it so dear. Lots of obnoxious people with no experience say the earths flat and I disagree with those bumpkins too 💋😊
You are just loads of fun! I love you 💚This is my favorite band and you NAILED DOWN how I feel tooooo💕
Thank you Sandi!! Love ya loads! So touched you’re enjoying the vids 😊🌸
He's good, their appearance on Conan live is proof . You said people avoid R's singing , you should check Alice in Chains song Love Hate Love , live at the Moore . Lane adds R's when there are none. Second favorite male singer after Rob.
I don't know why fans insist there is no auto-tune or pitch correction when there obviously is.
David is good enough that there is no need in it but they do it anyway.
Brilliant choice, his voice is amazing.
You David a great disservice by accusing him of auto- tuning. He is a classically trained singer who prides himself in every sound he makes being his voice alone. What you hear is an amazing vocalist with incredible control.
There’s no accusation here Fi because pitch correction isn’t something to be upset about loads of acts over the past twenty years use it. It doesn’t mean someone lacks talent. The fact that David had to publicly say he wouldn’t use it is more representative of Joe Public not understanding what it is, so willing to skate him for it, than it is of it actually being a bad thing to use. Talented singers use it regularly.
No auto tuned. Pure voice!!
Very “disturbing “ cover. Amazing singer. No auto tune. Great reaction. I’m a Nightwish fan, but I would like to recommend Ayreon “ Everybody Dies” live. I think you might enjoy it.
Sorry to disappoint…David doesn’t use auto tune. You need to check his live performance on Conan. He is fantastic live and his live performances are awesome! Great singer. His band Disturbed is Heavy Metal so this is a softer side of this band.
No disappointment here, he is absolutely pitch corrected in this track but tbh pitch correction is pretty standard for a lot of projects this size. Still an amazing singer!
"Not representative" basically just means "the artist can do more than one thing" anyway.
I'm sure so many have told you, that if you have doubts, you can check out his live performance of this on "Conan" show. (American late night talk show)
Oh, and by the way - David does NOT use autotune. Check out his performance on Conan (an American talkshow dude)... 🤣
I’m not sure a classically trained cantor would need to use auto tune. He has an amazing range in his voice and needs no help to sound good
So classically trained or not, humans aren’t capable of completely perfect intonation. A little pitch correction is no big deal. He’s still some singer 👍
He sing it live , sound so amazing 👏
I'm a dedicated Slayer fan but I appreciate classic stuff like Simon and Garfunkel. This is the best version of "The Sound of Silence" that I ever heard and it is also the only Disturbed song I like
I love the original! This is a nice reimagine 😊
Knew you were Scottish! I have a friend in the Shetland Islands. David Draiman was trained as a Jewish Cantor. NO! No autotune!!! A little post work but no autotune! He GLARED on camera at the sound guy on Conan for using it! What happened after..... He chose to extend the consonants for effect - the "r" and "n"..... "Down With The Sickness"
That’s interesting, what was the little post work that was done?
There is No AUTO-TUNE ever in his Songs take a listen to the Live Version
David Drayman doesn’t use auto-tune, hates it, and was Classically trained as a Cantor.
Love this song awesome song I love disturbed an I love this man's voice awesome singer
He is a great vocalist
A masterpiece ❤
Watch the live performance he does on the Conan O'Brien there's no auto tune in sight 😉
David doesn't use auto tune because he doesn't need it.
Disturbed's BAD MAN is up for a Grammy
This is the best! Hair standing up! Play this at my funeral! All day!
Thank you for watching my dude 🥰
You should definitely check out his live performance of this on the Conan show.
Listen to the live version it digs deep
Wow! I Love the fact that you mentioned Rob Halford in your reaction. Both Rob and David are very talented singers.
Shane my dude! Truer words were never said! 😊💪
LOL I am the same as you; don't TELL me to do something, ASK me to do it, you are far more likely to get it done quickly. Love your reaction & as an expat Scot love your accent.
Thank you so much my dude! I am a stubborn arse! 😂
You may have been led to think (because of so many songs in the last forty years done that way) that trilling and running on notes in a song conveys passion or emotion; maybe now you see that the opposite is actually true - holding and sustaining a note - with a clear, trained and unaltered voice conveys so, so much more honesty and sincerity of emotion it raises the bar to another level altogether. You got and felt the message in the words, didn't you?
He's actually a heavy metal artist
He is a classically trained opera and cantor church singer so he is by far more talented than you could ever expect to be ever. Good luck at the pubs and karaoke bars ....
Nah not really. See being classically trained is cool and all but it doesn’t actually make you better. Elitist snobs who listen to music founded by musically illiterate black people think that way because it makes them feel superior. Real musicians don’t think that way. But don’t let me stop you from standing up for a millionaire little sheep 🐑 ♥️ oh also! Good luck in whatever dreadful dead end hell hole you work in. I’ll be at my local being paid triple your days wage for two hours of playing my favourite tunes. Oceans of love ♥️💋♥️
Disturbed- down with the sickness, was probably they're breakout song. One of my favorites is "violence fetish" or "believe".
The accent! That's it I'm moving to Scotland!. Great reaction. Friend of mine sent me this video, catching up on all the other videos👍. I've seen disturbed live many many times, I dont want to believe in the autotune thing, I refuse! 😂
Tbh I don’t know for sure but the more trolls are like ‘how dare you!’ I’m like, it’s DEFO auto tune 😂 I’m so glad you’re enjoying it my dude! 😊❤️💪
I respect your oppositional defiance. I've got a big dose of that too.
I don’t know why, I just do but I’m glad people share that 😊
He does a live version of this song, you "should" listen to it as well
There's no autotune going on. David Draiman _hates_ autotune with a passion and refuses to use it.
David the singer of disturbed is against autotune. That’s all him. His Conan live you can see how well he sings. Plus during his live on Conan he was sick and still killed it.
If you look up info on the conan performance David said he was sick and ‘furious’ the show used pitch correction. He used it live and here. Sadly people love David so much that they believe anything he says in an interview. He’s a great vocalist but this silly boomer attitude of ‘vocal manipulation bad’ is sooooo stupid. It has been and will be the standard for thousands of high level singers, people aren’t even aware of. I guarantee you enjoy the music of singers who use auto tune all the time and don’t even know it.
I love your singing, I can’t understand when you talk sad😢sad😢
wow, no auto tune in this, this is what he sounds like in live concert as well.
