I'm old and was used to the Simon and Garfunkel original, and I never thought it needed any improvement. But David Draiman and Disturbed knocks them out of the park. That voice! Best listened to with headphones at volume. This is what first got me interested in Disturbed and now I'm a fan.
Same. And I totally agree!
the original is the original , it has no comparison. This brilliant cover is in another tone and just adds how great is the original song.
I just turned 61 and know exactly what you're saying. I can honestly say that I have never really listened to the words until this came out.
@@JPVNG67I disagree completely. Paul Simon wrote the song as a warning literally after waking from a dream. They sang it in that warning type way. Disturbed sang it in a manner that was scolding people for not listening to the warning. Both were and are appropriate for the time they were preformed.
nothing that i wrote is against what u said, yet its only your opinion like i have mine.@@WatchingFromWork6636
Disturbed lifted that song to a whole new level. Never did a cover overwhelm me - this one did big time.
This version is FAAARRR better than the original.
Check out Hurt by Johnny Cash 😢
@@IAT1964My Dad grew up with the original song. He raised me with the original as well. When I told him Disturbed had done a cover (he knew the band but didn't like how heavy they are), he laughed at the idea that they could even make a cover of that song sound good. It's been almost a decade since I got him to listen to it, and he still hasn't been able to pick a favourite. Neither have I.
Few things can make me tear up let alone tears streaming! This guy continues to blow my mind!!! You the man Dave..
When he sang this live on the Conan show, he was actually sick and still knocked it out of this world. Absolutely worth your time.
My wife and I heard them perform this song live August 1 in Alpharetta, Georgia, and it was absolutely flawless note for note😳🔥
I think the version he sang on Conan was better and had better background music.
I don’t think it is an exaggeration to state that his live performance on Conan was almost life-changing for many people. I thought that I would have permanent goose bumps.
You mean, Auto Tune knocked it out of this world. Sad that the showbiz "ruined" that performance, really, because when we hear the live version in Houston with Myles Kennedy, we realise that it was completely unnecessary.
No he wasn't
It's been said, that Simon & Garfunkel's version was the warning and Disturbed's is the reality. Pretty accurate.
Yes the original was the warning and this version is the result and the truth the best sound is the sound of silence
The lament
i see it more the original was the warning and this version is the anger that said warning was ignored.
The people who said that were wrong!
@@tntlassiter were they?
"Heavy Metal Singers CAN'T ACTUALLY SING", they said!!! David Draiman of Disturbed: "Here, hold my OH-WAH-AH-AH-AH!!!"
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue.
oh i know!! he had "behavioral" issues.... like lighting a car on fire...@@jacobrohwein3944
No one said that lol.
@@hendrixhaskell4483 🤣🤣😆😆🤣🤣
👏 🥇
This and Johnny cash’s rendition of Hurt are by far my two favorite covers ever made
facts
True dat
Damn straight
Totally agree
Trent resnor from nine inch nails who wrote and performed hurt said it now belongs to Johnny Cash after hearing his cover
His version is absolutely‘BEAUTIFUL’!
This song debuted in 1964, was a huge hit. No one speaking down from the clouds, the message was & is clear. A different arrangement from original, with David Draiman, a trained vocalist with a powerful interpretation of song.
Surprised you had not heard this one yet Lilly. Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel who were the originator's of the song said David Draiman's version of this song was the best he had heard.
Paul Simon never said that.....for like the millionth time. The email he sent to David is literally everywhere on the net and on Disturbed's website. Since you are probably to lazy to go look it up since you believe this anyways, here is what Paul Simon sent David after the show on Conan: "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." That's it....
@@JuanHughJorgan .....OMG...Thank you!!!! Someone that's actually NOT regurgitating some rumor they heard at the pub whilst doing Jäger bombs!!! Paul also started writing this song when he used to practice in the bathroom of his first apartment to get away from roommates, he said the tile gave a nice reverb, he'd turn off the lights, turn the water on to sound like he was using the bathroom and practice. One evening, "hello darkness my old friend" just fell out as he started strumming, and the rest, according to him, was stuff he heard in English Lit. that was full of brooding angst and he hoped it would impress the ladies. But hey, everyone else says Paul could tell the future and predicted all that came afterwards...lol.
@@sunshynff Indeed! Most of the time, reality is far better and way more weird than the stuff that gets made up or misheard.
The Hollies , "The Air That I breath" . Beautiful Love Song .... one hit wonder :)
This is my favorite cover of sound of Silence. I love to watch your facial expressions as you listen to the songs.
As a fan of Simon and Garfunkel, Sound of Silence is one of the greatest songs ever written. David Draiman's version is the best I have ever heard.
Simon and Garfunkle made it too upbeat, Davis Dariman does it in such a way you can feel the dark and macabre atmosphere of the lyrics of the song
Totally agree!
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary
But Synagogue was where he first found his voice and talent for singing. ❤🙏😇
A cantor, that's super cool, does sound like some kind of wizard though XD
God had a different calling for him.
This fact is what made the comparison of a "godlike" voice hit me. He was trained to sing "God's Word."
Damn... That's a fully Metal story 😂🤘🏻
A lot of metal screamers are amazing singers. It's always a treat when they choose to sing.
Howard Jones is the perfect example of this. Incredible screamer, but his voice is so incredibly soulful when he sings.
This IMO is one of the best covers I have ever heard. The striped down musical. Davids voice is just, haunting and powerful.
Go check out "Phantom of the Opera" cover by Nightwish (End of An Era Live 2005) and you'll have another stunning cover... In case you haven't already heard of that rendition. Same goes to : "High Hopes" (Pink Floyd cover) from the same particular live gig...😉 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 💥
🤩👍💥💯 🎶 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
I have listened to this song/music video hundreds of times and it gives me CHILLS EVERY FREAKIN TIME!!!
IKR!!! Every single time!!!!!
Phenomenal cover, he said in an interview the first time he heard it after singing it, he cried.
Blew me away the first time I herd Disturbed do it. Prophetic.
The resonance on that lead voice is INSANE. I will never get tired of it.
I love all genres of music but my all time favorite is Disturbed. David is simply amazing
He is classically trained and an incredible singer. This was everyone's shock when they released this song
He’s a classically trained Jewish Cantor, as his father and grandfather before him.
I have listened to this song since if first came out over 60 years ago and I have to say . . . this version is the best and most powerful version of this song that I have ever heard. I absolutely love it! It is also the first time I have ever heard any song by this artist.
This is definitely the most incredible voicals I really have heard him sing. He really put his heart and soul into this.
He ran int Paul Simon at a party sometime after this was released. He said he was worried about his reaction to the restyling of one of his classics but Paul loved the way they had re-envisioned it.
This is an epic cover. His voice with the instrumentation is so perfect, & always brings a tear to my eye.
This definitely is a masterpiece. It actually penetrates your very soul.
It's the way the growl suddenly goes away at the end for the long clear note, and then the quieter slowing last phrase: he was in complete control the entire time.
I think it is better then the original
David has a beautiful voice when he wants it to be. Disturbed has done several balad type songs, and they're all just beautiful! But I love his hard stuff too! Stupify is still one of my favorites!
I saw them in 2019 when the "Evolution" album came out. When they played this song, he sang it THROUGH your soul, I had goosebumps over my entire body and it brought me to tears because he knows how to capture the attention of an audience. David Draiman IS a rock God.....PERIOD !!!!!
I heard this for the first time never heard of the group what an outstanding performace
The live version he did on Conan was pretty epic too.
He sang that on Conan while sick as hell as well.
One of my favourite song's and on my playlist ❤️ he sing it so beautifully. Perfect performance
This song and Nick Cave “Into My Arms” gets the feels.
the first time i heard this version...holy crap! was all that could come out of my mouth...
I always get the chills on this song
The Official music video and the story it tells is a masterpiece in and of itself! 🙏🙏
The story I heard is that this is the only cover of one of his songs Paul Simon has linked on his website. Hope this is true, it definitely deserves the shine
Your reaction to this beautiful classic was amazing. Thank you, young lady.
Absolutely beautiful ❤ the best cover ever
One of the best covers ever, IMO. Another of my favorite covers is Shinedown doing the song Simple Man.
When I die this is the song that will be playing. This song has always been a favorite of mine from the original to this one. Cause well darkness is my friend.
love your facial reactions to his voice/song they exhubit more than what could be spoken...🥰🥰🥰
People sleep on David as a singer. His range, control, and technique are one of the best in the business. They've also done a cover every album. Land Of Confusion they covered from Genesis is amazing, and Shout 2000 (is a heavy update to Tears For Fears 84' song Shout)
You sure
He didn't just sing it he made you feel the words in the song.
I heard this song for the first time two weeks ago and I swear it literally has changed my brain chemistry. It’s somehow beyond just music.
OMG, the tissues I've 🤧 gone through since I discovered David Draiman and Disturbed performing their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on April 29, 2024. That day I have to believe my spirit 🙏 guides (out of the blue) first led me to a cover video by Dan Vasc singing "Amazing Grace" 👏 and then to the cover video of Disturbed and David Draiman singing this most POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL 😂rendition of Simon and Garfunkels "The Sound of Silence". I'm 75 and was 15 when they released one of the most popular classic songs of our time during the 60's. It is amazing how relevant it is today, actually I feel it is even more relevant than ever in so many different ways. I've spent days since listening and seeing the many channels and each of hosts reactions and have 😢 almost every time. It's funny that more males have gotten teary-eyed than females, just an observation. Diane Davis
Loved your reaction and take on this. I was in college when Simon and Garfunkel did the song and overlooked it except for the line “the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.” He brings out the message so much more powerfully and it pertains even more now. You reflected that beautifully. Luv ya girlie! 😊
This song is about the failure of communication in modern society. "People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening." In other words, people are not making a genuine effort to understand people they disagree with. Instead, they demonize them and dunk on them on social media. Paul Simon truly was prophetic when he wrote those lyrics back in the 1960s.
This song is based on a American officer in word war 2 and the speech he gave to the German people that were next to a " Death camp" for the jews. When it was discovered what had happened there , the people protested that they had nothing to do with it. His response was that by being silent they gave strength to the Nazis,. " Silence like a cancer grows" Bad things grow in strength and power when no one speaks out and it's greatest ally is "The sound of Silence" When he became aware of the speech and wrote this song at such a young age is just simply mind blowing.
Disturbed The Light! The ultimate song to lift your spirit. Highly recommend.
One of my favorite cover songs! You would think a total metal rock song, but no that got the solemn respect it needed for it! Great job Disturbed!
A band called ‘Bad Wolves’ covered ‘The Cranberries’ “Zombie” a few years ago. It is my absolute favorite cover of any song. Highly recommend listening to it and checking out the video. 🤘
That cover isn't bad but the cranberries are still better.
3 brilliant sisters Called The Warning wrote a song called XXI century Blood. They were pre-teen and one was a young teen when they wrote this. The Music Video won 4 out of 8 awards. They are showing no one listened to Paul Simon. 3 Sisters from Mexico that are rocking the world right now.
Watching your reaction makes me wish I could hear this for the first time again, this is probably my favourite cover of a song of all time!
I am old enough to have gone chiles in 1963, this ons TOO. The images fit the lyrics, different poeple coming together to "save" society in the end, the ark, cool.
Thanks to S & G for writing and recording this classic over 50 years ago, allowing Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret the meaning.......a warning against an increasingly detached, unfeeling, cold society.......maybe more relevant today than in the 1960's
Well only P wrote it, and he did so to sound brooding and full of angst in order to impress the ladies, but he has said that he is quite pleased that people draw such meaning from it to this day.
amazing voice! and a cover that totally surpasses the original. ❤
There is two versions of this song where Disturbed does this Simon & Garfunkle song, one of them they do it Live in the talk show Conan on TBS.
Excellent reaction. It was written in 1964. It's a very relatable song.
The emotion on your face was great. A powerful song!
Another great cover you should check out is Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
To me, Disturbed is a band that I loved as a kid and has been getting better and better as the years go on. Every album has either matched or been better than the last, somehow.
Grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. Granddaughter led me to Disturbed, and then I found Geoff Castellucci and he did a cover of this. Geoffs' cover won't be blocked as he is independent and does everything himself. I absolutely love the original and both covers.
Disturbed does a fantastic cover of Genesis' The Land of Confusion. Worth checking out!
If you liked this, you’ll love Hold On to Memories by Disturbed. Another beautiful balad.
Dear lady you sound so metallic. Ouch what a contrast to the velvet fist of Disturbed.
Justin Haywood Of the Moody Blues, Singing Forever autumn, Powerful.
Great reaction, song and performance!❤️ Live version from Conan is great too.
Yes, wonderful
not bad for a 50+ year old song. its a tear jerker.
it will be 60 next year
Powerful song. Powerful message. Listen ❤
I can’t recommend The vengeful One from Disturbed enough, it’s definitely one of my favorite songs and music videos of all time. 😄
Disturbed covered Land of Confusion by Genesis and it was also brilliant. You should check out some of their other songs too. Stricken is a great one to start with.
The first time I heard David's version.... I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!!! .....and I still feel the same! ....I wonder how Paul Simon feels about this interpretation??
Just watched 5 of your reactions. I am now subscribed!
Fun fact. When David and disturbed covered this song, I want to say it was on Conan. The difference between that time and the music video aside from it being live was David was very sick when he sang this on Conan. As for what song I think is a masterpiece or close to being a masterpiece. Other than this, it would have to be The Light by Disturbed.
How is that a "fun" fact?
@@jedislap8726 it's just an expression.
As others have said, Disturbed also have an amazing cover of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis. I'd recommend the music video too it’s great!
Disturbed singing the sound of silence and Don Vasc doing the national anthem.. both give me goosebumps
little known fact but David Draiman is a fully trained opera singer, when performing on Conan, he had the flu and was given the option to use autotune, to which he refused. legend
The live version on Conan is even better
The Conan O'Brien live version is also epic. Even though they auto-tuned him and David was livid when he found out.
Completely unnecessary as well. He sang it the way he did for a reason, with purpose.
It don’t matter how many times I play this song I break down and cry every time I hear it
I am really enjoying your reactions physical and verbally; I am happy I found you...😁
This song was written as a warning of a future they saw coming. In this version I think David’s singing is illustrating anger that we let it come to pass despite the warning.
Actually Paul wrote it in his bathroom with the lights off, and the lyrics were just different things he picked up in English Lit class that sounded brooding and full of angst, to impress the ladies, that's the extent of it. kzhead.info/sun/f8hto5GKkHqjnHA/bejne.htmlsi=wlXXIUvmacVx3QJP
Disturbed’s cover is a masterpiece, this video also portrays the meaning of the lyrics, Simon & Garfunkel version was a warning and Disturbed’s version is we better get our act together
This palcony of generations...
Simon and Garfunkel liked his rendition. I was amazed at the strength and how moving it is.
Just found your channel. You asked about standout performances. Heart does a tribute to Led Zepplin at the Kennedy Center Honors of Stair Way to Heaven. It Brought Robert Palmer to tears who was in the audience. The drummer in this performance is Jason Bonham the son of John Bonham. The bands drummer that passed away. He's also wearing his dad's hat.
Masterpiece songs Alter Bridge - Blackbird Live at Amsterdam Queenryche - Silent Lucidity Lovebites - Frozen Serenade 2021 Live in Tokyo with lyrics Testament - Return to Serenity (lyrics video) 6:32 min Triumph - Fight the Good Fight Live at 1983 US Festival
I 100% agree with Queensryche-Silent Lucidity. That song is epic and I do not think anyone will ever do it better than the original! Excellent callout.
You should check out the Nine Inch Nails cover of Hurt that Johnny Cash did. You might want some tissue handy though, just maybe. It's profound and powerful. Similar to Disturbed's S&G cover, it hits harder than the original. I think you'll like it.
Heard an interview where he said he had talked with Paul Simon about this song and Simon said their version was a "wake up" song for us and this song is the "I told you so" version.
The "Wrong side of heaven" by 5 fingers death punch is a very sad emotional song of people having ptsd and tragedy of soldier's coming all torn up homeless on the streets screaming of hell and war in their thoughts of war.
this is one of the few remakes made better,
This, and cashes hurt
The original by Simon and Garfunkel was a warning.....David's version is anger for the warning not being heeded.
The song is 60 years old this year. Written by Simon and Garfunkel in 1964.
Disturbed is on of my favs
This is one of the best versions of This beautiful classic I ever heard brilliant 🤩
It's like accidently touching one of those sticky mouse traps. You're in now ! Redo this video but with the LIVE version from the Conan show. Paul Simmon went to his knees in his living room and cried.
David Draiman is very talented! His range is amazing. I grew up in the 70s and 80s music. I'm a huge Zeppelin and Iron Maiden fan and never really got into what I called new music. But Disturbed and David are very talented and reminds me of the bands that I grew up with and jammed out to.
This song gives the chills. Absolutely love it...
He treated a classic with respect ,awesome
