Simon called Draimen and loved the song so much they added it to his playlist. Imagine the original song writer being overwhelmed and so impressed he told Draimen that’s exactly how I wanted to resonate. Draimen can sing anything. His family were not supportive of his decision to go the rock/metal route but Draimen knew what he wanted and his voice is perfect and amazing. One of a kind. Draimen 🥰

I heard that David was so emotional after this live performance, he was crying backstage afterwards. I guess his sickness at the time didn't help either. What an astonishing live performance it really was, and despite his illness, he didn't appear to struggle with any of the deeper or higher notes, which I find amazing.

Exactly. Disturbed's version reminds me of the end of the original Planet of the Apes.

And to think that David Draiman was sick during the Conan performance. He still killed it.

He took this song and made it his own . I really like it.,,👍

Many thanks to Simon & Garfunkel, they have a huge catalogue of work and have influenced MANY current artists.....thanks to them for writing and recording this classic first over 50 years ago, warning us to not turn our backs on the world and it's willingness to embrace "SILENCE"........they made it possible for Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret this great piece of music......

Even Simon and Garfunkel liked this version of their song

It was actually the opposite. He did an interview with "charismatic voice" and explained. I believe it was his drummer originally then another member. They basically had to convince David. He was leary that they could pull it off.

I went to the a concert when I was 23 (15 years ago) the Slipknot headlined and Disturbed played before them and WOW!! Ever since then I have always said Disturbed is the best live performance I’ve ever heard and once again I’m NOT DISAPPOINTED

Love the reviewers. The American girl is a doll and love the accents of the Brits ... love their accents. They don't frighten me like Charlotte Tillsbury.

I guess he was ' down with the sickness' during this performance 😉

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence"

I love this group of women in the comments that are making on this y'all are so right it is so awesome

As it’s been said David had a bad case of the flu during this performance you should react to the original video it’s better I think . The original version is said to be a warning of things to come David’s version is said it’s that no one listened to the warning. I saw an interview where Simon called David after seeing this, and told him the song was now his he like it so much.

I loved your reaction to David Draiman and The Sound of Silence. I am a 60's kid and loved S & G, but this version has just reached feelings that I could only feel at this age. One woman who did a reaction vid called this song "vocal porn." I readily agreed. And the way Draiman connects by searching the audience. Vocal porn, indeed.

I heard he had a cold during this performance too. Incredible.

Greatest Cover Ever... Heard it many many times and it gets me every time

This song is about the awakened helping those that are waking up. ''The is deep.

I love how the Tympany player seemed to punctuate the quality of David's singing!

I wish they would save their comments for the end and not continuously interrupt

David Draiman from Disturbed during this cover he was sick

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i understood that he didn't use any distortion or auto-tune. From what I remember, that was all natural.

Crazy thing is he actually had a lesion on his vocal cord during this.

You people annoy me with your constant interuptions

David was ill with the flu when he did this live rendition. He told the producers they were NOT to add auto-tune, but they ultimately did. He was pissed, to say the least. For anyone willing to do their own reaction to David's rendition, I would highly recommend NOT using this version, but go with the music video version. Much better in my opinion. I noticed that just about every woman's reactions here, that they were literally swooning over him. The lady who said she lived on an ambulance route made me laugh... She was swooning over the thickness of David's neck LMAO 😂😂 For a great laugh, check out Sound of Silence by (LoTR's) Gollum KZread.com/watch?v=4w8t1T-vlzo

This version is not as good as the studio version . And yet that voice is incredible.

You totally blew it by including the lady with red hair. Not only was her commenbtary boring, but the sound of her voice alone would have driven anyone with a male chromozone from the room screaming!

I understand it when bands do covers of songs from older bands that aren't all that great and make them better like how Led Zeppelin took a few songs from older blues artists and made them their own and they sounded a bit different but I never understood the purpose of doing a cover of a song that's already great and possibly not doing it justice and actually ruining the song for some of us like in this song because in Simon & Garfunkel's version their voices are much softer and in a song called "The sounds of silence" it fits a lot better I think because the singer of disturbed voice is too deep for the song.. To me it only proves that Disturbed doesn't really have their own creativity to make something of their own great so instead they try to share the spotlight with someone else's greatness which is just another form of plagiarism.
