Could not agree more. They missed it totally. Almost sounded immature! I teach 8th graders, and they connected with the song more than these, "musicians." Ugh
This song/performance went completely over their heads. The entire point of the building of the vocals and instruments with each verse...I don't need to explain it. The responses to this reaction video speak for themselves, and I appreciate that there are still critical listeners of music like this.
Well now we know why you're so familiar with silence at your show. If you perform as badly as you did this reaction, you'll continue to be familiar with silence. And you'll deserve it.
You were supposed to "react " not analyze... your reaction was one of the coldest that I ever seen...this song and David Draiman's voice is so powerful that gives you goosebumps, you're just no felling it.
In an interview, Paul Simon was so impressed how Disturbed did this song, he said, "It is theirs now!" They truly brought the song to life and gave it it's true form.
Responding to the fellas reaction on the comments to Simon Garfunkel Simon at Paul Simon actually met David chef Ramsay's New Year's Eve party couple years back. Paul Simon was so taken by the version of the song that he actually put it up on his on his Facebook website and he's never done that to anyone that's ever remade one of his songs and the connection to David was huge between him and Paul because he Paul thought that he brought this to a brand new generation and what a well job he's done with it
Now if I were to watch you guys again I was just rolling through RUclips I would never be intrigued to come back to your channel because if that's your reaction to the most powerful song I've ever heard in my life I'm 54 years old you didn't do it for me you didn't even scratch the surface unless you're just that type that takes a lot to get you off your couch and you didn't do it for me.
My god you missed the mark on this one. This is a BRILLIANT interpretation of this song. Watch the live performance from the Conan O'Brien show and thus time, CONNECT THE LYRICS, THE MEANING, AMD THE PERFORMANCE.
Congradulations you are first people who have not been blown away by this, every musician, composer, music teachers , proffessional singers have been awed by this. I just wonder what trips your trigger?🤔
Yes you are possibly the only one that gets TD vibes......as a professional you should have been able to put that back in your mind so you didn't seem like you weren't taking it seriously.....that part 'neon god they made' etc, always gives me the chills and with the video reinforcing why the world is so screwed right now, his voice backs that and why his version is more my vibe than S&G (even though S&G were my generation, lol)
I agree, the TD reference was childish and grossly unprofessional. This song was extremely well done. The Charismatic Voice has a great reaction to this as well.
@@charleswharmbyiii8401 These two are more than so-called. They may not be your gen, but they are skilled and love great music--to sing, play and listen to (from a Dimash Dear🙋🏻♀️🥰). I was just jarred that Sean was having a sarcastic, judgmental day....we all do 🙄😊.
Paul Simon likes this version so much, it's on his playlist and he supports it 100%. David Draiman went into the booth and didn't come out for hours, until he felt comfortable w/it. He was classically trained as a vocalist, and has a very wide range.
it feels like the two of you are afraid of the message in this song and in this version....the man singing this trained as a cantor...his voice resonates.........so sorry that you stayed in the space of disconnection
This song by #Disturded the Sound of Silence hit my heart hard 💔. My husband was playing this song on the computer. I stopped & asked him who was singing that song. He told me #Disturded & I started crying. They were one of our son's favorite bands. Our son Michael was killed by a Drunk Driver in 2013. Disturded was coming to the venue where our son was killed. In 2016 I reached out to #Disturded & their management to dedicate this song to our son on #Montage Mountain #Scranton, PA. I wanted to hear his name said on that venue. God bless them they honored him. I will forever be grateful to them 🙏 🙏🙏 Their live version is on RUclips. It was hard to pass the area where he was killed but I did it for Michael. 😢💔😢
@Court It feels that way so many times but I know my son wouldn't have wanted that for me. It's a fight every single day. 😢😢😢 God bless you my dear friend ❤️
I had never heard of Disturbed before when I heard this song and loved it. I listened to it over and over and then decided to see what else Disturbed did and wow, was I surprised. I had no idea they were heavy metal and now some of those songs, like Get Down with The Sickness are my favorites. The Sound of Silence really showcases David Draiman's voice. He's amazing. Thanks for the reaction.
I've watched dozens if not hundreds of reactions to this and I've never heard anyone else say they got TD vibes. You said it took you out of it for a minute, I would say, you stopping it to say that took me totally out of this reaction. I couldn't think of anything else once you said that. It's a shame, it was going so good too.
Disturbed has evolved and grown since their days of strictly metal...David Draiman's voice has matured and he has become an extremely accomplished singer...Small wonder that this song has 730,000,000 views...They killed it...
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, loved bands of our time! ❤❤❤😊
The original is a warning that this is coming. Disturbed's version is more like a punch in the face, saying, " This is here. THIS IS NOW. We need to fix this." This is the only cover of the song that Paul Simon linked to on his social media pages. Great reaction, thank you both.
"Oh, a piano. Oh, man is singing. Oh, a guitar. Oh, hamburger between my teeth. Oh, strings, t'is more music now. And I heard this about the original song, didn't understand it, but sounds smart as heck, so I'll just gonna throw it in here." "He sounds like this Tenecious D.-dude, hehe he hehe." This was a throwback to 90s MTV.
Absolutely no respect for probably one of the best covers of all time. I actually feel sorry for your inability to appreciate an incredible talent performing an incredible song. Musicians ? Really ?
WHAT?! No, I NEVER got Tenacious D vibes. I got Disturbed vibes. Nothing at all wrong with Tenacious D but that NEVER occurred to me listening to this. Wow, man. Out of their wheel-house anyway. But yes, I believe this MIGHT be their highest-viewed video. That's a shame because they are an AMAZING band! They deserve much better!
@@alice1913 I don't know about unprofessional. He was just stating what he got from it. But we are SUPPOSED to be different people, so it is fine by me that he has a completely different view than mine. We are not from cookie-cutters or boxes. :)
I actually love this version. Love the original too but I think the vocals are really powerful in this and the dark, depressing vibes are right up my street
I really hate people that review a song by stopping it evert 15 seconds to comment ---- let the song play then talk after its over. Never watching you guys again.
Oddly enough, this cover is indirectly responsible for me discovering your channel! This was the song I heard when casually browsing on Facebook, and it hit me so hard I wanted to listen to it over and over, so I searched for it on RUclips. In doing so, I also discovered music reaction channels, so I went down that rabbit hole, searching for reactions to this song. That eventually led me to Elizabeth Zharoff's channel ("The Charismatic Voice"), and I liked her reaction style so much, I wanted to see what else she had reacted to. Around that same time, the YT algorithm was also filling my sidebar suggestions with this young Kazakh kid named Dimash something. I watched Elizabeth's reaction videos to his music and fell totally in love. (I know you can relate! 😄) Then I wanted to see what others had to say about Dimash, and that eventually led me to your channel. But I might never have started down that road of music reaction video channel exploration if I hadn't seen this video about a year ago and had a sense of wonder at music's power to evoke emotions reawakened.
You almost have to watch the live version first. The visuals on this version should help you to tie it all together, but I think these two totally missed the boat ... pun intended.
I saw another video of this, and someone said that the Simon and Garfunkel version made you think, while this one makes you feel. I couldn't agree more that.
The video is about the death of modern music. Computers have replaced people, the same four chords are used in almost every song, and there is no complexity at all. Yet the people need the communication that music can provide. So, the video starts off with the broken and abandoned instruments and complete silence. Then, gradually as David sets the stage with his powerful voice, the video shows the band members picking up instruments and carrying them to the shore... the gulf between real music and communication and the people. The people who have music scores in their hands awaiting the arrival of the musicians. It ties the message in the song, which you two seem oblivious to, to the visual representation of the music theme. I fear that you two spent too much time "hearing without listening." Maybe try it again without trying to be snarky.
Actually the original song was about the explosion of television from the 3 major US Networks to 12 Cable channels and the subsequent obsession with just watching TV (the NEON GOD) and ignoring the people around you. In today’s context that could be Social Media where people derive their worth and value from the number of “Likes” they receive, and like the early 60’s are obsessed with technology and don’t actually talk with people?
This song is all about the great awakening. The first, third and fifth verse is written in the perspective of the unawakened and the second and fourth verse is written in the perspective of the awakened.
If you were to listen to Simon & Garfunkel, their song was a protest of what society had become. I grew up in that era. And their song was perfect for what their message was. This version by Disturbed is taking the original protest into consideration. And the emotions of the words and the music are about the rage that nothing was done about what the protest was about. The music video showed the chasm between the words being written on one side and the music on the other. The boat at the end was the music / instruments being transported across the water to where the words were to finally bring everything together. And no, it wasn’t a ‘River of death’. I didn’t get any indication that either of you understood the story, the emotions. That’s too bad because you’re missing the entire message.
First time on your channel. As a fellow musician I was kind of thinking you might have more to comment on the story within the video. A couple of suggestions, the live version on Conan is great and you would like it a lot. But if you want to be different from all of the countless others who have already reacted to it there is another live version that is also great. You should check out Disturbed in Houston featuring Myles Kennedy. Additionally, if you want to check out other Disturbed songs you will get tons of requests for Down With the Sickness. You should postpone that until you've heard some of their other music. I recommend Indestructible, Immortalized, Are You Ready, The Light, Stricken... or any of like 8 or so other covers they've done which are awesome. Disturbed is an amazing band and extremely talented.
Patrzę na was z dużym niesmakiem - do czego jest zdolny człowiek, żeby się publicznie tak ośmieszyć !!!!! Żadnej wiedzy , brak zrozumienia i brak wrażliwości - miernoty !!!
Have listened to this song for a while now, but this is the first time i'm seeing the video. It is a beautiful video and this song takes covers to a completely different level. This is a painfully beautiful interpretation and i love it!
I’m also amazed that as musicians you made a mockery of this song! I guess you’re young and naive to understand the meaning of the song because as young adults you don’t listen and are all wrapped up in social media and technology
You guys need to watch this video again and realize the meaning of it along with the words. The girl actually seems to be enjoying it while the dude just wants to goof on it.
This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school, run out of funding, the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater, etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. We no longer interact face to face with each other but through technology, social media on our cell phones and computers. I could go on and on. 😢
Well, considering that Disturbed recorded their version first, in December 2015, and Pentatonix recorded their version of 'this' version in February 2019, I think you have it the other way round. Pentatonix didn't even vary their version much from this one.
When I first heard this cover. I just listened to "Legion of Monster" right before. So I was expecting like a rock version. But this was infinitely better than I could've imagined.
He is classically trained and is a Cantor as well. This was out of their comfort zone. NOT a river of death but that boat crosses the divide where on one side is people who haven't heard and they are telling them TO HEAR . This is hope because the sound of Silence is crossed over. This is the best version ever and I was a teenager in the 60' s . Simon and Garfunkel told us what was wrong back then and now they warn us that what the prophets wrote on the walls is for us to wake up from the neon gods we have followed!!
Upon hearing this cover, Paul Simon, himself, said that this was the best cover of his song that he had ever heard, and actually linked this video in his personal social media. It does not hurt that David Draiman was a traditionally trained Jewish cantor before he set off to conquer the world of heavy metal music.
2 things. 1) Melissa Cross is David Draiman's vocal coach, who is WORLD famous for teaching DOZENS of rock bands and lead singers to perfect their singing their vocal techniques. 2) If you like that version, look it up on RUclips when they play it live on Conan O'Brien. It is AWESOME !!!
This song offered comfort of a sort to a lovely guy I knew, during the years he spent dying. I think a part of that was the diction. Some of the emotional parts can be heard as "passionately atheist", and he was a pretty keen atheist, so that would've helped, too. I wasn't all that interested in the cover before ("it was OK"), but I've learned how to hear it since those days. I suppose for anyone avoiding metal for its aggressive side, it's natural never to come across the other side of metal (right from the very beginning) - the ballads? Although since Metallica's ballads became popular, maybe it's just forgetfulness? It's pretty much a tradition that a metal album must have at least one more gentle, more melancholy song on it. (Might be an idea to go looking for those to find out whether there's some joy in listening to that part of the genre, actually. The joy you get crying at a sad movie, I mean. :-) ) I could offer something different (not big enough to use for a reaction video, but musically perhaps at least interesting) it's by Welsh rock band, *Budgie* , and if you have the patience it ranges over a very wide range of tempos, moods, and even music styles. (And the rock aspect is more "energetic" than aggressive, too. Although with these things, the bark is always less than the bite. The most peace-loving, gentle people on Earth are often metal-heads; and the most vicious, downright mean ones generally groove to something much, much more slick and smooth and slithery than this, too.) Anyway theory-of-everything-blah-blah ... Here's *Breadfan* ruclips.net/video/54H3EUAzpVg/видео.html ("Bread" was a 60's term for money - as in "daily bread" I suppose - that is probably forgotten by now?)
It’s not musically sparse, guys. It’s an entire orchestra backing David. Check out their performance on the Conan O’Brien Show. You’ll see (and hear) what I mean.
A song that ROCKS during these hard times their cover of "if I ever lose My Faith in you" sending luv and positivity to y'all PS " A reason to Fight" live
Simon and Garfunkle's version of this song, was a "silent" type of warning to society. Disturbed's version is telling us its too late. You just didn't get what THIS version was trying to say. The buildup and changes in David Draimans voice was for the dramatic effect to make you really listen to the words and hear them.
A heavy metal band that catches EVERYONE by surprise, then elevates and owns a song (this song) 50+ years after it was written!! Anyone who hasn't been blown away by this isn't really listening!! No matter what music you like (All Genres) this is superbly done and flawless in every way!! The best cover/song/official video these past 5+ years. \m/ Sorry for being long winded... the below list is "live" performances that any person doing reactions must hear and see (not necessarily react to)!! Yes, you may have heard many of these songs at some point however they are 100% worth another look!! * note: these are but a few of many (many) extraordinary performances caught "live" on camera!!! - an ECLECTIC mix of days gone by!!

People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never shared. I think this is what David wanted to say, so we could hear what the song is about, and understand the warning. Listen to the story.
I guess maybe you'd say that Symphony No. 5 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven has "jumped the shark", too? .....William Shakespeare's works also maybe?......At certain times in their lives some folks just have limited registers and so must toss something older in order to appreciate a newer thing... others can like the novel thing "as well"... Still, I really enjoy seeing your reactions... Thanks again...
Eh...before you hate on that "Creed song". it actually hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 which is the standard record chart for ALL songs. So, yeah, it kinda was big and did work. I enjoyed the vid, but like most things in the modern world that drive people apart...misinformation sucks.
Yeah, so...if either of you had ever played sports, we call this a "whiff". You had the chance to comment on a rendition that was great, and you decided to sit there and look at each other and make comments that are even less enjoyable than watching this video.
To me S&Gs version is like a warning to the people and Disturbs version is like ok you didn't listen now I'm pissed..... If you liked this cover you should hear their great cover of the genesis song Land of confusion. It is also so well done. They also did a cover of Shout that is banging.... As well as many original songs
Watch the live version on Conan O'Brian. You can see them actually playing their instruments with an orchestra behind them. Super powerful! Loved y'all's video!
Someone said the Simon and Garfunkel one was a warning and that this one is showing the rage because people didn't listen. I can't remember the exact quote but that's close
I personally like this better then the Live version. Understand he was very sick that day and was told not to do it live but he did anyway. I would like to hear a live version remade when he was not ill.
Be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: that David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole performancewas amazing and his was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Team Coco
If you look at what is happening in the world today this very song was a warning, and then David got a hold of it and now you feel it, we all need to stop the silence and come together.
There is a really important message a warning to be precise. What insight from Paul Simon in 1963 when he wrote it. Now Disturbed has rammed it into our heads with the greatest cover of a song EVER. Are we listening now...
It surprises me that no one who reacts to this has observed that a protest song from the 60's has been transported to the 21st century. and it's more relevant. and angrier.
IMO, this is te BEST Cover of this song EVER. Nice Post. And I also suggest seeing the LIVE version, from the Conan O'Brian show. Draiman was sick during that show, and STILL did a FANTASTIC showing.
Um, I feel that reaction videos may not be your thing guys. People get enough of the bemused condescension vibe from political propagandists and it's really just out of place in reviewing a masterpiece like this.
The 1960s hit, "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel conveys a powerful warning against the dangers of indifference, which still comes in handy today. To many people they thought the meaning leaned more towards JFK's Assassination but that could be further from the truth. It's about facing our fears & basically they for seen the future in this song.
What a lot of people don't realize about alot of rock musicians and their songs is the meanings behind them. And it also seems to be an outlet for a lot of pains they have internalized. That come out through songs with a very aggressive feel to them But if you take a step back and learn about the meanings of the songs and the musicians their is a lot more going on their them what's on the surface.
l LOVE this version. l think it really projects the profound urgency of the lyrics. S & G were more sing-songy & hopeful (of course it was 50 yrs ago). Disturbed says "wake up, stupid, it's upon us!" Although, l did have to watch it about 10 times before l understood the ending......he is actually a little bit hopeful. That sailboat full of instruments is sailing across to the people on the other shore who were writing all the music💞
Feel free to let us know what we should react to next!

stop doing that you are simply too hollow
The best reaction id like to see you do next is CLOSE THIS PAGE CHILD!
I’m surprised that as musicians, you seem to have so little appreciation for one of the greatest voices in musical history.
Well, and little appreciation for one of the best songs, too.
Could not agree more. They missed it totally. Almost sounded immature! I teach 8th graders, and they connected with the song more than these, "musicians." Ugh
Tenacious D?? Jesus, just killed the mood
Erm are those two really musicians? I thought that to be a musician you had to have a soul
This song/performance went completely over their heads. The entire point of the building of the vocals and instruments with each verse...I don't need to explain it. The responses to this reaction video speak for themselves, and I appreciate that there are still critical listeners of music like this.
Well now we know why you're so familiar with silence at your show. If you perform as badly as you did this reaction, you'll continue to be familiar with silence. And you'll deserve it.
Indeed
Agreed. I found their response to be childish.
They're young.
Exactly! This is this worst reaction to this amazing performance so far. I wish now that I had not watched it.
@@nancymerrillsayed7585 That's no excuse to be this awful. They're not THAT young...
You were supposed to "react " not analyze... your reaction was one of the coldest that I ever seen...this song and David Draiman's voice is so powerful that gives you goosebumps, you're just no felling it.
In an interview, Paul Simon was so impressed how Disturbed did this song, he said, "It is theirs now!" They truly brought the song to life and gave it it's true form.
Responding to the fellas reaction on the comments to Simon Garfunkel Simon at Paul Simon actually met David chef Ramsay's New Year's Eve party couple years back. Paul Simon was so taken by the version of the song that he actually put it up on his on his Facebook website and he's never done that to anyone that's ever remade one of his songs and the connection to David was huge between him and Paul because he Paul thought that he brought this to a brand new generation and what a well job he's done with it
Now if I were to watch you guys again I was just rolling through RUclips I would never be intrigued to come back to your channel because if that's your reaction to the most powerful song I've ever heard in my life I'm 54 years old you didn't do it for me you didn't even scratch the surface unless you're just that type that takes a lot to get you off your couch and you didn't do it for me.
This proves that anyone can make a website and start producing RUclips videos. It also show that anyone can call themselves musicians.
My god you missed the mark on this one. This is a BRILLIANT interpretation of this song. Watch the live performance from the Conan O'Brien show and thus time, CONNECT THE LYRICS, THE MEANING, AMD THE PERFORMANCE.
Congradulations you are first people who have not been blown away by this, every musician, composer, music teachers , proffessional singers have been awed by this. I just wonder what trips your trigger?🤔
With a reaction like this from these two buffoons I have no desire to know what trips your trigger. Ridiculous reaction.
Same here. They are so shallow.
It's time to find a different job. Terrible reaction, you seem totally clueless.
Yes you are possibly the only one that gets TD vibes......as a professional you should have been able to put that back in your mind so you didn't seem like you weren't taking it seriously.....that part 'neon god they made' etc, always gives me the chills and with the video reinforcing why the world is so screwed right now, his voice backs that and why his version is more my vibe than S&G (even though S&G were my generation, lol)
I agree, the TD reference was childish and grossly unprofessional. This song was extremely well done. The Charismatic Voice has a great reaction to this as well.
Damn u just ripped away most ppl with that comment lol I like it 👌
@@craighaight7291 What a stupid comment Craig
Yes! And the part about the neon god seems to apply to these two so-called musicians. Ugh.
@@charleswharmbyiii8401 These two are more than so-called. They may not be your gen, but they are skilled and love great music--to sing, play and listen to (from a Dimash Dear🙋🏻♀️🥰). I was just jarred that Sean was having a sarcastic, judgmental day....we all do 🙄😊.
Paul Simon likes this version so much, it's on his playlist and he supports it 100%. David Draiman went into the booth and didn't come out for hours, until he felt comfortable w/it. He was classically trained as a vocalist, and has a very wide range.
it feels like the two of you are afraid of the message in this song and in this version....the man singing this trained as a cantor...his voice resonates.........so sorry that you stayed in the space of disconnection
This song by #Disturded the Sound of Silence hit my heart hard 💔. My husband was playing this song on the computer. I stopped & asked him who was singing that song. He told me #Disturded & I started crying. They were one of our son's favorite bands. Our son Michael was killed by a Drunk Driver in 2013. Disturded was coming to the venue where our son was killed. In 2016 I reached out to #Disturded & their management to dedicate this song to our son on #Montage Mountain #Scranton, PA. I wanted to hear his name said on that venue. God bless them they honored him. I will forever be grateful to them 🙏 🙏🙏 Their live version is on RUclips. It was hard to pass the area where he was killed but I did it for Michael. 😢💔😢
God bless you! Your post is beautiful! Sorry you lost your son! I would lose my mind if my son died! ❤️❤️
@Court It feels that way so many times but I know my son wouldn't have wanted that for me. It's a fight every single day. 😢😢😢 God bless you my dear friend ❤️
wow, what you said just choked me up. I'm so sorry for your loss. That's a huge hurt. Huge hole in the heart.
My heart goes out to you
@@johnmarengo3988Thank you for your kindness. God bless you always 💜
I had never heard of Disturbed before when I heard this song and loved it. I listened to it over and over and then decided to see what else Disturbed did and wow, was I surprised. I had no idea they were heavy metal and now some of those songs, like Get Down with The Sickness are my favorites. The Sound of Silence really showcases David Draiman's voice. He's amazing. Thanks for the reaction.
Holly hell!!! Do you even listen to rock?? Or have you been living under a rock???
I've watched dozens if not hundreds of reactions to this and I've never heard anyone else say they got TD vibes. You said it took you out of it for a minute, I would say, you stopping it to say that took me totally out of this reaction. I couldn't think of anything else once you said that. It's a shame, it was going so good too.
Disturbed has evolved and grown since their days of strictly metal...David Draiman's voice has matured and he has become an extremely accomplished singer...Small wonder that this song has 730,000,000 views...They killed it...
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, loved bands of our time! ❤❤❤😊
It's a masterpiece, I get goosebumps every time I hear it
To compare this brilliance to tenacious D, Is the epitome of music ignorance.
Everyone can’t help themselves from stopping the song with 15 seconds left.
The original is a warning that this is coming. Disturbed's version is more like a punch in the face, saying, " This is here. THIS IS NOW. We need to fix this." This is the only cover of the song that Paul Simon linked to on his social media pages. Great reaction, thank you both.
Yes.. Exactly
You're trying to be kind, but it wasn't a 'great' reaction, it was terrible and very disrespectful.
"Oh, a piano. Oh, man is singing. Oh, a guitar. Oh, hamburger between my teeth. Oh, strings, t'is more music now. And I heard this about the original song, didn't understand it, but sounds smart as heck, so I'll just gonna throw it in here."
"He sounds like this Tenecious D.-dude, hehe he hehe."
This was a throwback to 90s MTV.
Absolutely no respect for probably one of the best covers of all time. I actually feel sorry for your inability to appreciate an incredible talent performing an incredible song.
Musicians ? Really ?
WHAT?! No, I NEVER got Tenacious D vibes. I got Disturbed vibes. Nothing at all wrong with Tenacious D but that NEVER occurred to me listening to this. Wow, man.
Out of their wheel-house anyway. But yes, I believe this MIGHT be their highest-viewed video. That's a shame because they are an AMAZING band! They deserve much better!
Absolutely ! Think it's a little insulting, also think that maybe a little professional jealousy.l jealous
@@alice1913 I don't know about unprofessional. He was just stating what he got from it. But we are SUPPOSED to be different people, so it is fine by me that he has a completely different view than mine. We are not from cookie-cutters or boxes. :)
I'm as horrified as you are at this inane reaction.
I actually love this version. Love the original too but I think the vocals are really powerful in this and the dark, depressing vibes are right up my street
Two different meanings really
I really hate people that review a song by stopping it evert 15 seconds to comment ---- let the song play then talk after its over. Never watching you guys again.
Stopping at the oddest time... don't do that
It’s rumored Paul Simon had said “My version of the song was the pleading warning, Disturbed’s version was the Anger the warning went unheeded”
Oddly enough, this cover is indirectly responsible for me discovering your channel! This was the song I heard when casually browsing on Facebook, and it hit me so hard I wanted to listen to it over and over, so I searched for it on RUclips. In doing so, I also discovered music reaction channels, so I went down that rabbit hole, searching for reactions to this song. That eventually led me to Elizabeth Zharoff's channel ("The Charismatic Voice"), and I liked her reaction style so much, I wanted to see what else she had reacted to. Around that same time, the YT algorithm was also filling my sidebar suggestions with this young Kazakh kid named Dimash something. I watched Elizabeth's reaction videos to his music and fell totally in love. (I know you can relate! 😄) Then I wanted to see what others had to say about Dimash, and that eventually led me to your channel. But I might never have started down that road of music reaction video channel exploration if I hadn't seen this video about a year ago and had a sense of wonder at music's power to evoke emotions reawakened.
awh thanks for sharing!
very similar to my path here. Elizabeth's channel is my absolute favorite! She has a musical vocabulary that expresses what I've always wanted to!
The live version, especially the version on Conan is excellent
It was impressive.
Apart from David being ill and they automated 1 part which they where fuming with.
this couple are a joke
I completely agree! I actually found that one first and it was so much more powerful to me. I have to admit I'm biased because I am a Disturbed fan.💕
You almost have to watch the live version first. The visuals on this version should help you to tie it all together, but I think these two totally missed the boat ... pun intended.
Glad I read the comments before wasting any time watching this LOL
I saw another video of this, and someone said that the Simon and Garfunkel version made you think, while this one makes you feel. I couldn't agree more that.
The video is about the death of modern music. Computers have replaced people, the same four chords are used in almost every song, and there is no complexity at all. Yet the people need the communication that music can provide. So, the video starts off with the broken and abandoned instruments and complete silence. Then, gradually as David sets the stage with his powerful voice, the video shows the band members picking up instruments and carrying them to the shore... the gulf between real music and communication and the people. The people who have music scores in their hands awaiting the arrival of the musicians. It ties the message in the song, which you two seem oblivious to, to the visual representation of the music theme. I fear that you two spent too much time "hearing without listening." Maybe try it again without trying to be snarky.
You nailed it. Hearing without listening, and they were talking without anything to say. They need to try again, thus time with a little humility.
Actually the original song was about the explosion of television from the 3 major US Networks to 12 Cable channels and the subsequent obsession with just watching TV (the NEON GOD) and ignoring the people around you. In today’s context that could be Social Media where people derive their worth and value from the number of “Likes” they receive, and like the early 60’s are obsessed with technology and don’t actually talk with people?
regret clicking on this video after you compared Disturbed's Sounds on Silence to TD.
If you thought the strings elevated this version, you absolutely should watch the Conan O'Brien live version. It's ... devastating.
This song is all about the great awakening. The first, third and fifth verse is written in the perspective of the unawakened and the second and fourth verse is written in the perspective of the awakened.
If you were to listen to Simon & Garfunkel, their song was a protest of what society had become. I grew up in that era. And their song was perfect for what their message was. This version by Disturbed is taking the original protest into consideration. And the emotions of the words and the music are about the rage that nothing was done about what the protest was about. The music video showed the chasm between the words being written on one side and the music on the other. The boat at the end was the music / instruments being transported across the water to where the words were to finally bring everything together. And no, it wasn’t a ‘River of death’.
I didn’t get any indication that either of you understood the story, the emotions. That’s too bad because you’re missing the entire message.
yup ... the only one with TD vibes, which seems to indicate the lyrics were lost on you.
First time on your channel. As a fellow musician I was kind of thinking you might have more to comment on the story within the video. A couple of suggestions, the live version on Conan is great and you would like it a lot. But if you want to be different from all of the countless others who have already reacted to it there is another live version that is also great. You should check out Disturbed in Houston featuring Myles Kennedy. Additionally, if you want to check out other Disturbed songs you will get tons of requests for Down With the Sickness. You should postpone that until you've heard some of their other music. I recommend Indestructible, Immortalized, Are You Ready, The Light, Stricken... or any of like 8 or so other covers they've done which are awesome. Disturbed is an amazing band and extremely talented.
Best way is to watch and listen to the music video then do your remarks,instead of STOP start talk blah blah
Patrzę na was z dużym niesmakiem - do czego jest zdolny człowiek, żeby się publicznie tak ośmieszyć !!!!! Żadnej wiedzy , brak zrozumienia i brak wrażliwości - miernoty !!!
Loving the comments here, these two are horrible, Disturbed did an epic job on this song!
Have listened to this song for a while now, but this is the first time i'm seeing the video. It is a beautiful video and this song takes covers to a completely different level. This is a painfully beautiful interpretation and i love it!
I’m also amazed that as musicians you made a mockery of this song! I guess you’re young and naive to understand the meaning of the song because as young adults you don’t listen and are all wrapped up in social media and technology
You guys need to watch this video again and realize the meaning of it along with the words. The girl actually seems to be enjoying it while the dude just wants to goof on it.
This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school, run out of funding, the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater, etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. We no longer interact face to face with each other but through technology, social media on our cell phones and computers. I could go on and on. 😢
Well, considering that Disturbed recorded their version first, in December 2015, and Pentatonix recorded their version of 'this' version in February 2019, I think you have it the other way round. Pentatonix didn't even vary their version much from this one.
Probably the most vacuous review of this rendition I’ve seen.
When I first heard this cover. I just listened to "Legion of Monster" right before.
So I was expecting like a rock version. But this was infinitely better than I could've imagined.
David was also a Jewish Cantor. Classically trained..
The words are for then, what was going on in the world. Same thing now...words of truth.
He is classically trained and is a Cantor as well. This was out of their comfort zone. NOT a river of death but that boat crosses the divide where on one side is people who haven't heard and they are telling them TO HEAR . This is hope because the sound of Silence is crossed over. This is the best version ever and I was a teenager in the 60' s . Simon and Garfunkel told us what was wrong back then and now they warn us that what the prophets wrote on the walls is for us to wake up from the neon gods we have followed!!
Upon hearing this cover, Paul Simon, himself, said that this was the best cover of his song that he had ever heard, and actually linked this video in his personal social media. It does not hurt that David Draiman was a traditionally trained Jewish cantor before he set off to conquer the world of heavy metal music.
2 things. 1) Melissa Cross is David Draiman's vocal coach, who is WORLD famous for teaching DOZENS of rock bands and lead singers to perfect their singing their vocal techniques. 2) If you like that version, look it up on RUclips when they play it live on Conan O'Brien. It is AWESOME !!!
I can't stand to listen to this guy talk I have to fast forward to get back to the music.
This song offered comfort of a sort to a lovely guy I knew, during the years he spent dying. I think a part of that was the diction. Some of the emotional parts can be heard as "passionately atheist", and he was a pretty keen atheist, so that would've helped, too. I wasn't all that interested in the cover before ("it was OK"), but I've learned how to hear it since those days.
I suppose for anyone avoiding metal for its aggressive side, it's natural never to come across the other side of metal (right from the very beginning) - the ballads? Although since Metallica's ballads became popular, maybe it's just forgetfulness? It's pretty much a tradition that a metal album must have at least one more gentle, more melancholy song on it. (Might be an idea to go looking for those to find out whether there's some joy in listening to that part of the genre, actually. The joy you get crying at a sad movie, I mean. :-) )
I could offer something different (not big enough to use for a reaction video, but musically perhaps at least interesting) it's by Welsh rock band, *Budgie* , and if you have the patience it ranges over a very wide range of tempos, moods, and even music styles. (And the rock aspect is more "energetic" than aggressive, too. Although with these things, the bark is always less than the bite. The most peace-loving, gentle people on Earth are often metal-heads; and the most vicious, downright mean ones generally groove to something much, much more slick and smooth and slithery than this, too.)
Anyway theory-of-everything-blah-blah ... Here's *Breadfan* ruclips.net/video/54H3EUAzpVg/видео.html
("Bread" was a 60's term for money - as in "daily bread" I suppose - that is probably forgotten by now?)
Hello from Russia 👉🇷🇺♥️! ..a huge iceberg the size of Alaska broke away from the mainland when he hit the first note...!💪👋
I say this all the time. S&G were the warning. David was the "Why didnt you LISTEN?!" rebuke.
It’s not musically sparse, guys. It’s an entire orchestra backing David. Check out their performance on the Conan O’Brien Show. You’ll see (and hear) what I mean.
"People hearing without listening"....for sure.
If you get a chance, you must watch the live version on Conan. It is next level, truly amazing.
A song that ROCKS during these hard times their cover of "if I ever lose My Faith in you" sending luv and positivity to y'all PS " A reason to Fight" live
Simon and Garfunkle's version of this song, was a "silent" type of warning to society. Disturbed's version is telling us its too late. You just didn't get what THIS version was trying to say. The buildup and changes in David Draimans voice was for the dramatic effect to make you really listen to the words and hear them.
You sir really need to let the recording play before you say anything.
I shall not be picking up on anything you do.
Epic cover. Jimi Hendrix " All along the watchtower" is one of the only other covers that ever moved me that much.
they've heard this version before, id bet 5$ this isnt a first reaction
"Heavy Metal singers can't actually sing," some people say... David Draiman of Disturbed: "Here, Hold my OH! WHA! AH! AH! AH!"
A heavy metal band that catches EVERYONE by surprise, then elevates and owns a song (this song) 50+ years after it was written!! Anyone who hasn't been blown away by this isn't really listening!! No matter what music you like (All Genres) this is superbly done and flawless in every way!! The best cover/song/official video these past 5+ years. \m/
Sorry for being long winded... the below list is "live" performances that any person doing reactions must hear and see (not necessarily react to)!! Yes, you may have heard many of these songs at some point however they are 100% worth another look!! * note: these are but a few of many (many) extraordinary performances caught "live" on camera!!! - an ECLECTIC mix of days gone by!!

David Draiman has the most underrated voice ever.
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never shared. I think this is what David wanted to say, so we could hear what the song is about, and understand the warning. Listen to the story.
These two prats wittering on and on ruined this completely for me.Thanks a lot.
I guess maybe you'd say that Symphony No. 5 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven has "jumped the shark", too? .....William Shakespeare's works also maybe?......At certain times in their lives some folks just have limited registers and so must toss something older in order to appreciate a newer thing... others can like the novel thing "as well"...
Still, I really enjoy seeing your reactions... Thanks again...
Eh...before you hate on that "Creed song". it actually hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 which is the standard record chart for ALL songs. So, yeah, it kinda was big and did work.
I enjoyed the vid, but like most things in the modern world that drive people apart...misinformation sucks.
This is one of the best voices in our era!
Yeah, so...if either of you had ever played sports, we call this a "whiff". You had the chance to comment on a rendition that was great, and you decided to sit there and look at each other and make comments that are even less enjoyable than watching this video.
You should listen to this again offline, all the way through.
To me S&Gs version is like a warning to the people and Disturbs version is like ok you didn't listen now I'm pissed..... If you liked this cover you should hear their great cover of the genesis song Land of confusion. It is also so well done. They also did a cover of Shout that is banging.... As well as many original songs
Watch the live version on Conan O'Brian. You can see them actually playing their instruments with an orchestra behind them. Super powerful! Loved y'all's video!
are you guys really "musicians"? Cause this went straight over the top of your head.
Someone said the Simon and Garfunkel one was a warning and that this one is showing the rage because people didn't listen.
I can't remember the exact quote but that's close
I personally like this better then the Live version. Understand he was very sick that day and was told not to do it live but he did anyway. I would like to hear a live version remade when he was not ill.
Be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: that David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole performancewas amazing and his was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Team Coco
If you look at what is happening in the world today this very song was a warning, and then David got a hold of it and now you feel it, we all need to stop the silence and come together.
It's a thing of beauty! Get ready for a religious experience! Moves me to my very soul! 💜💜💜
There is a really important message a warning to be precise. What insight from Paul Simon in 1963 when he wrote it. Now Disturbed has rammed it into our heads with the greatest cover of a song EVER. Are we listening now...
"Simon and Garfunkel song has become a meme".. oh dear god.. had to stop at this part lol...
It surprises me that no one who reacts to this has observed that a protest song from the 60's has been transported to the 21st century. and it's more relevant. and angrier.
You both seem to be completely unaffected. 😵
Ducker….. dissin my Disturbed! They’re genius!
"What do you want us to react to next?" ...uhm, nothing.
IMO, this is te BEST Cover of this song EVER. Nice Post. And I also suggest seeing the LIVE version, from the Conan O'Brian show. Draiman was sick during that show, and STILL did a FANTASTIC showing.
ty!
Um, I feel that reaction videos may not be your thing guys. People get enough of the bemused condescension vibe from political propagandists and it's really just out of place in reviewing a masterpiece like this.
Reason behind writing the song - two words ... Vietnam War ___ Glad you listened to Disturbed version too. Thanks!
Just looking at Sean’s face,I was dying laughing..
The sound of silence was my first song of disturbs I heard and I still love it
The 1960s hit, "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel conveys a powerful warning against the dangers of indifference, which still comes in handy today. To many people they thought the meaning leaned more towards JFK's Assassination but that could be further from the truth. It's about facing our fears & basically they for seen the future in this song.
This dude is a walking Jay Leno impression.
Seen this a few times and I’ve never been able to put my finger on the moment it went Tenacious D. Perfect comment, can’t unhear tenacious D now.
What a lot of people don't realize about alot of rock musicians and their songs is the meanings behind them. And it also seems to be an outlet for a lot of pains they have internalized. That come out through songs with a very aggressive feel to them
But if you take a step back and learn about the meanings of the songs and the musicians their is a lot more going on their them what's on the surface.
What made me a Disturbed fan was their first single "Stupify" from their debut album The
Sickness
l LOVE this version. l think it really projects the profound urgency of the lyrics. S & G were more sing-songy & hopeful (of course it was 50 yrs ago).
Disturbed says "wake up, stupid, it's upon us!"
Although, l did have to watch it about 10 times before l understood the ending......he is actually a little bit hopeful. That sailboat full of instruments is sailing across to the people on the other shore who were writing all the music💞
