Interesting fact: David Draiman was originally trained to be a cantor. This is the person who sings and leads prayer during the service in a synagogue.☮❤Cape Town
Whether it's Disturbed's live version performed on Conan's show, their studio version, or even the original Simon & Garfunkel version the fact that the words in the song are still relevant today in 2024 as they did when S&G sang it in 1964, speaks volumes about Paul Simon's songwriting abilities.
I do love the official video of Disturbed's cover of 'Sound of Silence', but I have to say the live version on the Conan O' Brien show in 2016 is phenomenal, and I've watched it many times. Again, as with the video version, I have goosebumps, chills, you name it, every time, it's fantastic with the orchestra, and David Draiman's voice is just incredible, he has such a range in his vocals. I was watching an interview that he did a while ago and he explained that he had a lesion or growth on his vocal chords at that time so it is ultra amazing that he managed to sing that night at all. What a trooper and what an awesome performance he gave, one of the best ever, in my opinion. Thanks for your reaction Anthony, I could see that you were really blown away by this, I felt exactly the same the first time I saw it, it's just epic.
This is an incredible performance isn't it Anne? Hope you are doing well, will try and write more this weekend. Fighting friggin migraine last two days..
I saw them in concert in 2016. They sang this and their others. However this one was so powerful. I still get chills hearing it. I certainly understand your silence after the ending because it is so very powerful & emotional. Outstanding job.
This was an absolute fantastic performance... I loved the way you were able to see the different parts as they were added all at the same time that David was singing thru his discomfort (he had the flu)... all resulting in this EPIC performance. If this didn't get some kind of award, it should have... Thank you for bringing it. I appreciate your response and reaction.
..I personally have listened to this many , many times...watching him sing this just effects you more...his voice and the control, the way he sings the words, you feel it in your soul...seriously one of the most commanding performances....glad you decided to watch this one....
I agree. Just the thought of how it feels to see those 10,000 fists in the air is such a rush. I think that may be why they haven't done a video for it, though. Maybe they want to leave it to each person to imagine it for themselves, so they can "feel" that for themselves.
There’s one more awesome performance of this song that Draiman did with Myles Kennedy making it a duet as originally done by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon loved it! This one I love so much not only because of how David Draiman and the rest of disturbed performed it but also the orchestra , especially the tympani which I love.
Agreed 💯! Apparently Disturbed loved it too, because they included that recording on their album Evolution (Deluxe Edition). But I am a huge Disturbed and Myles Kennedy/Alter Bridge fan as well, so naturally I was going to love it. 🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️
This is probably my all time favorite live performance and since you mentioned Fred Durst, the Live version of Outside with him and Aaron Lewis from Staind is probably my 2nd favorite if you haven't checked it out. Very raw performance and you get to really hear Aarons brilliant voice as well
I agree with the way you described the difference between the emotional effect of the original S&G version and Disturbed's studio/video version. This performance is like the bridge that connects and intertwines the emotional impact of each of those versions. Great performances all! 🤘
The Dutch singer Henk Poort did do a cover of this song on the Beste Zangers show, In Belgium there is a like wise show called Liefde voor muziek. But you should also listen to that one, an opera singer doing Disturb.....
The powers that be auto-tuned David's performance in post-production. Needless to say, he was NOT happy about that. Of all people, even sick, his voice should never be meddled with, period.
Hello c'est une des meilleures versions mon avis par contre vous pouvez svp réagir également au concert live avec myles Kennedy incroyable phénomènal svp merci également pour votre réaction j'en n'ai les frissons à, chaque fois que je l'écoute mille fois déjà.. 😮🎼🎶🎤🙏💖👍👏

There’s currently a version going round on the radio here in the Netherlands with a beat under it. Reminded me not to listen to the radio. To me it’s, at best, ruining the powerful buildup of this song which is a key element of the goosebumps. At worst? Let’s not get into that rant 😉 Thanks for your reaction to the ‘kippenvelversie’!
Liked your take on heading to the record store on release dates. Tower Records brings back so many good memories. Progress isn't always progress. This is one of those covers that makes you wonder what you just saw or heard. This is what excellence looks and sounds like.
he was sick during this performance & they were ready to have him do a lipsync but he refused & still did an amazing job bringing all the emotions
Best response I ever read to this song is, Simon & Garfunkle's version was a warning. Disturbed's is full of rage because no one listened.
David was sick as a dog during this performance and burning up with fever, still did an impeccable job
So, are you saying he was "Down With Sickness"?
@@chuckster255 niiiiiice 🤣 yeah I guess he was
Man, just imagine getting tickets to see a talk show and you get blessed with THIS!
Interesting fact: David Draiman was originally trained to be a cantor. This is the person who sings and leads prayer during the service in a synagogue.☮❤Cape Town
His father and grandfather were cantors too.
It's a singing tradition over 1,000 years older than "classically trained."
My goosebumps had goosebumps. So powerful, such emotional intensity, truly moving!

You need to check out Disturbed featuring Ann Wilson of Heart singing Don’t Tell Me. Ann is in her 70s and is still a rock goddess
I saw Disturbed perform this song at one of their shows and it was beyond amazing!!
I don’t think I breathed until it was over! What a soul stirring performance!❤
There comes a moment in this song where you stop listening and just experience it.
I do love the official video of Disturbed's cover of 'Sound of Silence', but I have to say the live version on the Conan O' Brien show in 2016 is phenomenal, and I've watched it many times.

@@Jules-um4yy Sorry to hear that, Jules, I've sent you an email, you take it easy now and I'll hear from you again when you're feeling better. 😊😊

Your 30 seconds of stunned silence is perhaps the most eloquent reaction I've seen.
He was sick during this show too!
102 degree temperature with the flu

This was is one of the covers of a century. It was so well executed 🖤🖤🖤
The greatest live performance of a cover ❤
This and Heart's version of Stairway to Heaven. Both magical
I think I listened to this version at least 100 times and now while listening it still give me the goosebumps!!!
This and the video version are my absolute favorite ever ever ever ever ever
Your reaction at the end is everyone. Spot on.
So glad you didn't pause. Thanks
Ten Thousand Fists is my favorite Disturbed song. Wish they did a music video for it
I agree. Just the thought of how it feels to see those 10,000 fists in the air is such a rush. I think that may be why they haven't done a video for it, though. Maybe they want to leave it to each person to imagine it for themselves, so they can "feel" that for themselves.

I was watching Conan that night and I was completely stunned by this. I love the original, but this is something extra special.
He was sick and he can sing even better live.🤷♀️☝️ This is crazy!🫶💋 Masterpiece! 🙏
Stunned silence says so much. Beautiful, powerful, and epic is correct.
This is the best version yet. Loved it live. 🔥
The Goosebumps still creep up on me & take me by surprise 😶
Look up the interview David did with the Charismatic Voice. He talks about what was going on when he did this on Conan
The emotion in this performance is visceral. You can feel it through the screen. David Draiman is easily my favorite vocalist.
That was my reaction too!
So glad you Reacted to this. BP has said he hadn’t seen the Conan version.
BP did a reaction to the Conan version 8 months ago. He should probably check it out again.
I've listened to this song ,both versions 300 times at least. 😂
This song is why I started watching reaction videos. I found you from Ren!
As so many others have said, he was really ill during this performance and STILL performed like THIS? Amazing 💜💜💜💜
This is probably my all time favorite live performance and since you mentioned Fred Durst, the Live version of Outside with him and Aaron Lewis from Staind is probably my 2nd favorite if you haven't checked it out. Very raw performance and you get to really hear Aarons brilliant voice as well
I agree with the way you described the difference between the emotional effect of the original S&G version and Disturbed's studio/video version. This performance is like the bridge that connects and intertwines the emotional impact of each of those versions. Great performances all! 🤘
I miss record stores! Video stores too 😂 David Draiman is the bomb.
Beautiful ❤
Great reaction..it was awesome
This is so fabulous, despite the singer being ill, what a great performance.
Another great cover is Chris Cornell - "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince cover made famous by Sinead O'Conner) [Live @ SiriusXM] | Lithium
They also did a duet of the sound of silence with Miles Kennedy, also an amazing version. ruclips.net/video/93wGaGFUnTs/видео.html
Before you little wipersnappers were born
SIMON & GARFUNKEL 😮
Hit subscribe the minute you mentioned Muse. Love to see you react to Muse Assassin live at the Mayan
Disturbed has done 3 great covers. They did Shout by Tears for Fears, Land of Confusion by Genesis, and Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.
Nice reaction. And keep in mind, as people already mentioned, he was sick that day.
❤❤❤❤❤
The Dutch singer Henk Poort did do a cover of this song on the Beste Zangers show, In Belgium there is a like wise show called Liefde voor muziek. But you should also listen to that one, an opera singer doing Disturb.....
Another unique artist: Tommy Johansson.
Would love to see you react to Disturbed's "Hold On To Your Memories"
Man, I miss Chester so much.😢
I went to record stores to buy albums. Guess I'm old. LOL
The powers that be auto-tuned David's performance in post-production. Needless to say, he was NOT happy about that. Of all people, even sick, his voice should never be meddled with, period.
We were right, right?!!
Also, I hope you do a reaction to this with BP!
Just watched BP one now onto this one ☺️
Man, I've never listened to both versions one after the other and can 100% say the Live is much better
Get BP on it for sure
I would be interested in your reaction to Dio with Black Sabbath doing Sign of the Southern Cross.
