@@dougmcguire9809 It's not being self absorbed, you asshole. She likes to have an objective view of the vocalists, so she does not investigate them until after. Heavy Metal isn't her type of music, so she doesn't know a lot about these types of bands. I know who Justin Bieber is, but I could not tell you the name of one of his songs, or how good a singer he is. It's not like Disturbed gets the kind of advertising outside of metal channels that someone like Justin Bieber gets, so, if you're not into metal, it's very easy to know nothing about the bands.

Paul Simon himself actually praised the song. He even called David Draeman after the live performance to congratulate him. Paul said the Simon and Garfunkel version was the whisper of a warning. Paul then said that Disturbed’s version was the anger that the warning was not heeded

The best metal singers have roots in classical/opera 👍🏻 Take Bruce Dickinson as an example. Come to think of it, metal in general has classical roots and influences. Great music is great music, and timeless. Not that I'm in to classical much, unless it is in its electronic form, but I guess that is musical evolution.

Had this song played at my wifes funeral last September. She absolutely loved this. Every time I hear it it brings a lump to my throat, and a tear to my eye. Beautiful 😢❤️

He mentioned how his misses one if his great friends Chester (Lead singer of Lincoln Park who sadly ended his life). I'll go a Disturbed concert any time they come to town from this point forward.

We can cry as loud as we can, unfortunately no one can hear us or just few can. Things did not change since 50 years ago, or 100 years ago. We are all in this cruel world and the world is not getting better. I was born in 60's and raise in 70's and 80's and the music have always been a cry for help, love, passion and understanding.Rare people can understand what this song is all about, and keep trying to put it some special genre. But this song is not in any special genre it is just a masterpiece that time cannot harm and move. Also older generations are now old enough to understand and share the meaning of the words, newer generations simply go for the rhythm not many can understand lyrics that have deeper meaning. Original song sounds like a fine wine, this version however is more angry, realistic and sad at the same time. Where have we been and what we have changed.......noting, we just get more angry!

I saw this performed live and it was probably the single best song I've ever heard sung. I've seen hundreds of concerts, even met David, by far the best performance I've ever witnessed. This man is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.

Disturbed's version of this song is so strong... so imminent and fraught with warning... so dire for action and yet so sad and what could be with failure to heed the warnings... S&G's original was almost like "reading" a history book and the emotion conveyed was "Oh well...". Yes. As a gen X guy, and a Marine of the 90's, THIS is the version I feel in my soul. THIS is the version it always should have been.

"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 And 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" Written in the early 60's. But does this song not perfectly describe the world we've built since then? A world in which no one talks to anyone, a world in which people barely know even their closest neighbours, a world in which every pair of eyes is looking down and engaged only with one electronic device or another. A world in which social media dominates and which people are talking without speaking, listening without hearing. We think we're free, we're not, we're all imprisoned within our own walls of silence! I don't suppose for a minute that Paul Simon was writing it as a commentary on anything he saw coming, but it certainly has become a very apt metaphor.

This version gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. The last time he sings the word “sound” and it echos through you is pure perfection in arrangement. His voice and emotion could easily make you cry. Hats off to Disturbed for this take on a classic beautiful song!

I've listened to this so many times, and I still get chills every time. The whole arrangement is clearly so well thought out, both the orchestration and his vocals (which are just masterful).

Hey this is the 75 year old grandma, He was opera trained, so has great voice control. The S&G Version was written in as a folk song type protest song, as were most protest songs of the day, Such as Where have all the Flowers gone, and many more, were written in a passive aggressive music movement. Disturbed sang it to today's type of protest song would be, in your face and very aggressive. I love both versions but prefer the Disturbed best.

Love that you're in your 70s and like Disturbs version of this 😁 Im almost 50 and this isnt really my kind of music, but i really love several of Disturbs songs. " The Light " is one of my favorites. If you get the chance, you should look it up. In fact, here it is, enjoy. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYCt0syIhLeuZqg.html

@@justincase1919 Thank you so much, yes I did like that the music was great and the message even greater. I really am some what of a metal freak lol, also have played all the Final Fantasay games through 12, after that they changed the fighting and I had trouble with it, not as quick as I used to be. Thanks again.I am also a fan of Breaking Benjamin.

Incredible reaction....my God he nailed the vocals so perfectly... hits my heart every time I hear it! Thanks for your reaction!

This popped up in my recommended years down the line here for some reason, but it's reminded me of another song I'd LOVE to see you react to. Much like S&G's Sound of Silence was considered one of those "untouchable" songs untill Disturbed covered it, Mastodon did a cover of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven (arguably the most untouchable song of all time) and actually KILLED it. A must listen. Stellar vocals from Brann (the drummer) of all people, and a composition and tone that is somehow both distinctly Mastodon AND Zeppelin. Amazing, really.

I never thought Sound of Silence as operatic, but this rendition changes it from a moody atmospheric piece to an impassioned aria.

It’s like an anthem

When Simon and Garfunkle recorded this, it was like a whispered warning. When Disturbed recorded it, it was the rage of knowing the warning not being heeded. The words were prophetic when it was written. They are now the words of stark reality. We now bow to the Gods of electronics and the silence is deafening.

Not many song hit me like this version has. Unbelievable tone and power to his voice, one of my all time favourite versions EVER

Makes my hair stand up everytime I hear it.. even 5 times in a row still get the shivers... That performance is magnificent

I've watched about 6 different reaction videos to this performance and I get chills everytime. What they did to this song is nothing short of amazing

Since David is the singer for a Metal band,yes,he does have that growl in his voice.It's a choice on his part to use it here in this performance.

Yeah, it's his signature distortion :)

I absolutely loved the resonance of his voice, which was grounding, in all that space of lonely silence setting. He opened with a deep voice, carried it monotonously, as this lonely silence is monotonous, and downs you. But then! He broke open, at the word "flash", -just like a flash of light breaks darkness, his vocal opened, and made SPACE. So masterful! Singing, "You do not know" carried so much pleading outcry, and something of a master teaching, as he held the tone strongly, assertively. Progressively, he broke out from the darkness by switching to a higher voice, like wings, like an observer out of body, high above, observing himself below - so beautiful! Unreal! Then came his raspy voice, switching to metal voice, which expressed the ANGER, the DEFIANCE, and the UPRISING, THE FIGHT against the lonely silence. it was masterful! And he waved his fist, the determination, the conviction, expressing a STANDOFF, energy, elan! -The ANGRY FIGHT, and the metal voice was the best to express this with. - He ended the song with slumping downward again, folding back into the darkness, with his last word sung "silence", softly, defeated, but his vibrato expressed the silence reverberating. I was speechless. And found myself holding a fist.

Man, just listening makes tears come up again.... That song made me cry in an even tougher time, by Disturbed, as it digs deep in my feelings. Every single time it happens, these tears, haha! As meme: and they don't stop coming 100x

I have watched a LOT of review vids of this, and yours was one of the best. The way his power just keeps on going!

Can’t handle this song. It was one of the songs at my nieces wake. Rips me to shreds.

this song got nominated for Grammy but David Bowie won it posthumously for the last song he ever recorded RIP David Bowie .. I truly believe that this song will go down in history as the best version of the song ... the studio version is more of a cleaner less raw cover but still able to knock our socks off so to speak ...

Well that fucking sucks. Got a Grammy yanked from him because of a dead guy. I don't care if the dead guy was a legend or whatever they think he was. He's dead. Let's try honoring musical talent being done now by live people, not posthumously to people who aren't even around to get it. Jeez.

I was hoping you would do this one. It gives me goosebumps every time. Thanks

Loved you sharing the raw emotion with this video... When I saw you close your eyes at the beginning, I knew you felt the song deep inside!! 💕

You can physically feel that song. The emotion hits you right in the chest.

The moment he opened his voice such chills I nearly dropped my glass of wine 🍷....never heard this live before.... then I stated vocalizing when you did....on Pitch too woot!!!

I really love it. Since it came out, it came on the radio many times, and I never get tired of it. It's beautiful and sad, but because of his powerful, raspy voice it also feels kind of angry (?) and strong. I'm literally wearing a shirt of the same colour right now 😄 ly ❤

Always a pleasure to check in with Rebecca even though I viewed it multiple times. You are a joy to hear. Thanks.

Chills every time I watch this performance. I don't always get them when I hear this version on my playlist but something about seeing him absolutely crush this song gives me the chills. It's amazing they were able to do redo this iconic song and somehow make it even better.

I'm so glad you did this. I love this cover so much. Please react to "Female Metal Singers: Expectation vs Reality (Studio vs Live)". I would love to hear your thoughts on these female metal singers.

"We can argue about that, but I'm not going to because I think I'm right" I'm gonna need to use that one

This performance is jaw-dropping.! I could tell you were trying very hard not to cry. Completely blown away...

This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon & Garfunkel sang to alarm us, he sang to give us a final warning. You should watch their music video version. It is as beautiful as it is haunting.

I keep listening over and over again. I'm at a loss for words.

He has a voice that is demanding it makes you wanna listen to him and then when he hits those angry notes it just really takes you win he has a beautiful voice. I’m so glad I have found him I listen to him almost every night I just love the way he sounds. God bless him and the rest of the family.
