@warren lynch I got him mixed up with another artist, my bad, he wasn't a JW but he was raised as an orthodox. I can't find any info on his grandpa or dad being cantors though.
I'm hard-core country and old fashioned gospel and I've never had a song do to me what this does. I've listened to it more time than I can count and still can't get past the feeling of being totally empty and all filled up at the same time.
@@PatrolNation To say the least lol I don't normally listen to this genre. I love the stuff like Chris Stapleton I loooooove his voice.. His voice at the end gives me chills, raw unbridled power..😍💖
"Okay, I wasn't expecting that." Great reaction. I am 61 years of age and remember hearing the Simon & Garfunkel hit version a lot on the radio in the 60's and early 70's. I didn't even know what the words meant, I was interested in hearing Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's harmonies. It wasn't until I heard this version that I understood what the lyrics meant. For most of my life, "Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues was my most favorite song but now it has been replaced by Disturbed's "Sound of Silence". I know this may sound crazy but from what I've heard in Paul Simon interviews, even he didn't understand what the song he wrote and sang meant. I know that when Simon saw Disturbed's performance of this song on Conan O'Brian's show, he wrote the band and told them, it was better than the original.
This was written in 1964 by Paul Simon, who was 23 at the time. It was originally recorded by ‘Simon & Garfunkel’. When this version came out, Simon called David Draiman of ‘Disturbed’ to say how much he LOVED ‘Disturbed’s’ take on his masterpiece. Draiman was (understandably) stunned. Paul Simon IS in the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, after all!!
This is the best cover of any song I have ever heard, though. The emotion that's put into it is real; very rare, indeed. When I first heard this, I was absolutely blown away. I may not be famous, but as a performed with over 30 years under my belt, I am not easily impressed -- this version definitely shook me to the core.
@@johndeeregreen4592 Disturbed's cover of 'Silence' *is* amazing, but I'm afraid that the title of "Best cover song ever" goes to The Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash, for the cover of Trent Reznors' "Hurt". Check it out and tell me I'm wrong.
I heard the story of the Draiman/Simon conversation differently. The version I heard was that Draiman called Simon to get permission to release the video. Simon was playing a fest in Maui, and said that he was so impressed with Draiman's version, he invited him to join him on stage in Maui. Draiman said that he was floored by the call, and went to Maui.
I'm 61 years old and remember hearing and liking the original Simon and Garfunkel version from way back in the '60s but I didn't know what the song was about, I just liked Simon and Garfunkel harmonies. It wasn't until I heard this beautiful cover, that I finally understood what it's about and now I can't get enough of it. I listen to it and their live version on Conan all the time and I am constantly looking for reaction videos to the song.
I have to give kudo's to one person who described it best , Simon and Garfunkel's version was a "whispered warning" and Disturbed's cover is "a battle cry"
The funny thing is the song really is a warning. Garfunkel summed it up as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
I don't understand why EVERYBODY doesn't know this version of this song. It's a masterpiece and i"ve never listened to Disturbed. and i'm addicted to watching these reactions.
I'm a lifelong country music gal who just crossed over to disturbed 's music! I'm blown away w this song! It woke me up! It pierced my soul w conviction!
😂I love watching the reactions to this version. ALWAYS. The same...at the end of the video...silence...no words...just amazement & awe...I LOVE IT! The best cover to one of the most iconic songs ever.
Chills! I have always been a fan of Simon & Garfunkel, and although I am not really a heavy metal fan, this version by Disturbed brings chills to my body. Well done!!!💖👏👏👏.
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! ❤❤❤😊
I saw a guitarist analyze it and he was saying that for a singer to go up 1 whole octave is an achievement David Drainman here goes up 2 full octaves to cover both parts of the vocals and he switches between them so effortlessly. Having been a fan of Disturbed since they released Down with the Sickness I knew David had an impressive range but even so every time I hear this I'm stunned and blown away every time.
Liked your reaction, I reacted the same the first time I heard it. Simon and Garfunkel loved the Disturbed version, they thought it was a beautiful tribute.
I don't think anyone expected this. It was such a departure from their normal body of works. But man, did David deliver on the vocals and the expressions in his close ups. The full orchestral accompaniment pushed it over the top. It was much more powerful than the folky original. Loved your reaction!
Sherri Cary I watched a vocal coach reaction (Beth Roars) and she explained that the facial expressions help in safely creating the vocal effects. Really interesting stuff!
@@teresachapin4121 lol! I watched Beth's reaction just recently. Yes, she gave some excellent commentary particularly on the facial expressions. Love that.
I knew Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence and I also knew Disturbed. I NEVER thought the two would ever come together in any form. I was stunned the first time I heard this. Honestly... it still stuns me.
pambarab a good song is a good song. Try Highway to Hell, AC/DC original, then go Jes Greenberg same song, the Hay Seed Dixie again same song. You’ll get hard rock, acoustic Singer song writer, the blue grass. All sound great cause it’s a great song.
They've done several songs like Tears for Fears, Genesis, and some others. But they wanted to go back farther & it was the drummer who said no to the idea of turning it into a true heavy metal song. Glad they listened to the drummer. By the way for those who don't know it, Paul Simon isn't a nobody. He's a visionary. So stop putting down the original song. It was a hit in it's day. Granted S&G didn't have a half million to make a video. Oops they didn't have music videos in 1964. You chose your songs based purely on listening.
I still get the chills every time I hear this song, even after hearing it a gazillion times. I love, love it. 👏👏👍👍👍 PS Thank you for not interrupting the song 👍
OMG, what a great reaction. F'ing speechless, that's how almost all of us are when we've seen it for the first time. This is like the 30th reaction video I've watched for this song. I never even knew that was a thing before. I can't get enough, it's how I can see it for the first time over and over.
I was amazed by this version. I love it, my favorite version...they are mostly metal band ... not really into metal music, but some of theirs is really different for a metal band .... I think they did down with the sickness ...which makes this more awesome. It hits you. I bought it right away
The original is a sad mourning of what we are losing via technology, the 'Neon God we made' : our ability to communicate with each other. This is more of a raging anthem. Stunning.
Great reaction! I don’t know if you realized it, but when Dave started singing “Fool, you do not know...” with his angry face on, you leaned back and backed up a little. 😆
I would call your reaction as "gobbsmacked"! I was too. The intensity was incredible, the voice, superb. Chills every time I listen. So many of the reactions first word is WOW.
I've always loved this song. the Simon and Garfunkle rendition was poignant and sad, while this one is filled with a subdued rage at the wrongs perceived in the lyrics... and is beautiful in its intensity. The raw emotion is powerful.
David Draiman was classically trained to be a Cantor. The rough gravel you hear in his voice towards the end the song is what you hear predominantly in Disturbed songs. The live version of this song he did on The Conan Show was nominated for a grammy.
Wonderful reaction!!! I can listen to this over and over and never get tired of it. Get goose bumps every time. It is AMAZING!!!!! David's voice is phenomenal!! Paul Simon has said this version is better than the original. I subscribed because I like the honesty of your reaction. A good heartfelt song to react to is STAY by Sugarland.
Came accros this by chance to be honest, and only ever knew the S&G version. This was incredible, so powerful and i loved your reaction, it was similar to my own woah.
Funny thing, I found your channel only today and after watching your Home Free reactions and trad. Auld Lang Syne I was going to leave a comment and recommend this one to you, but ta-daa, here it was already! I knew you would like it! (I think it's hands down the best version of the song) P. S. Greetings from Finland! :)
Dude! Your face was the perfect reaction to this song! You visibly reacted to all the builds and didnt interrupt the song! Best reaction video! I wonder how many more times you watched it that day :)
This version of Sound of Silence brings tears in my eyes every time I hear it. The way David’s voice builds up to the finale. Gosh! Words can’t explain it. You just have to let it in and it takes over your mind and soul! Man! He has some amazing pipes! That voice and those piecing eyes
Down with the sickness is one of my favorites by Disturbed. A lot of thier stuffs a little too metal for me, but I do love a lot of their stuff. I'm more of an Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat gril
I love both versions of the Sound of Silence and I love your reaction to Disturbed. I went down that rabbit hole a long time ago and never regretted it. All of their songs are great, especially "Ten Thousand Fists" and " Down With The Sickness". Although they are a heavy metal band,they play both upbeat and mellow songs. Welcome to the world of Disturbed,my friend.🖖👍👍👍👍
I do love Simon and Garfuncle, but this version of Sound of Silence is incredible.Been listening to it since it was first released.Powerful, haunting, and beautiful. I'm a Pentaholic, and I liked their version, but Disturbed takes the prize. First time PTX didn't "win." Tried to listen to other Disturbed songs after this, and it's just not my thing. PTX gets my every day play lists.
Absolutely loved your reaction bud. Could see you feel the emotion of this song. David Draiman(lead singer of Disturbed) is a bloody legend mate. He'll go down in history as one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. Bloody legendary.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Disturbed version of the song. If you get a chance listen to the live version from the Conan show. Nice reaction video! I love David Draiman's voice.
You had the same reaction as the rest of us on hearing this for the first time. Paul Simon was so impressed with this version, he said was the best cover of his song he had ever heard and he posted a link to it on his own web site. In my opinion this is better than the original.
I’ve never seen you look so mesmerized by watching a video. That was great. I love Disturbed. They’re local to my hometown, Chicago. You gotta hear more. Try the song, “The Light”. It has a positive message!
Dude, please react to the live version on Conan o'Brien it's awesome 👍 I am new to commenting and I have a few suggestions for you! Also hi everyone 😊 xxx
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel did the original back in the early 60's. After this version came out, Paul Simon gave his approval. When the writer or the song gives their nod, you did justice to the song!
Having watched several of these reaction videos to Disturbed 'Sound of Silence' it seems the main thing people say is an awed 'WOW!" Sometimes many many times.
GREAT DISCOVERY FOR YOU... KEEP GOING!!! I've said this before and I'll say it again... A 1964/65 song, written by Paul Simon and re-imagined by Disturbed in 2015; datz 50 years!! For me, this is by far the best ___ (song/video/cover; fill in the blank) these past 5 years!! This song literally ambushes you... catches everyone by surprise! The powerhouse vocals, the amazing arrangement, etc... just a great song incredibly re-imagined by a Heavy Metal band... done right.
Amazing band live and David Draiman sounds this good !! Highly recommend some more. Prayer is a good place to start, a golden oldie 😁😁 great reaction, pretty cool that you had no idea what was coming 🎶🎶🎶🎶😀🤘
Loved your reaction, it was great !!! You were loving that, it showed. I am a true Home Fry, but I do listen to others, and I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. This song was unbelievable great, best cover ever !!! David D has an amazing voice, I tried listening to their other songs, but just cant get into heavy metal.
Disturbed is a phenomenal musical sensation, this version of the song sears the soul, boils with rage, the warning went ignored, now its the preface to apocalypse, awesome!
The first time I heard this on the radio, I didn't realize it was Disturbed...and I'm a huge fan of theirs! I honestly could listen to David Draiman sing all day and never get tired of hearing his voice. I think it's like chocolate for the ears, if that makes any sense.
First off. Disturbed is incredible been a fan for over a decade, glad you found these guys and can enjoy their great tunes. Secondly, Definitely gotta react to the version they did live on Connan O'Brien. Lastly, Simon once said that Disturbed's cover was their favorite cover of this song that they had heard.
Relevant when Simon and Garfunkel did it and terrifying when you hear Disturbed because it's more than relevant today, it's happening. Paul Simon loves their version. Fabulous rendition.
You are the only one I have seen so far that actually listened to it the right way with headphones. All the others have one earbud in and miss all the sound and intensity. 👍
L o L! AwZm! Thnk you for your react. This song has such an IMPACT. OWH! yes, REACT to some of the other DISTURBED songs...🙊🙉🙈 Paul Simon was more than pleased w the version, story tells. Anyways Chill out, all the best from Arctic LoVe Islands, Norway
I love this song and I love his voice, I love that it’s different from their other songs, he sings is so passionately. You should really react to Disturbed, they’re amazing.
I have watched several different people's live reaction to this song. Everyone reacts as you did. WOW!!!! Is what they all have said. 6:03 "What is this band Disturbed? I've got to listen to some more of that." Disturbed normally does not sound like that. I love their music, but this is a whole different level. I have never heard something that moved me as much as this. His sound is so pure and raw at the same time. Amazing! I could AND have listened to it over and over. The official video has some powerful images as well. Worth every second.

Not a Disturbed fan....hears Sound of Silence....Disturbed fan!
Their usual music isn't normally to my taste but this is 1 off my favourite tracks.
Ditto!!
Then listen to the rest of their tracks and revert 😂
Go listen to "a reason to fight" by disturbed
chris bottelson I'm 61 years old...glad I ignored all the warnings about Disturbed. Thanks for recommending A Reason To Fight!
His voice range is ridiculous and so pure and crisp. Spine Chilling.
@warren lynch He was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and only trained to be a Cantor.
@warren lynch I got him mixed up with another artist, my bad, he wasn't a JW but he was raised as an orthodox. I can't find any info on his grandpa or dad being cantors though.
I've heard this version 1000 times and still get chills every time.
I get emotional every time I hear it
I am only at 379 times, so we'll see. But, yes, still chills ;-)
So true, based on Physical reaction, has to be one of the top 3 songs ever made. Skyfall is up there, too.
Goosebumps every time
I'm hard-core country and old fashioned gospel and I've never had a song do to me what this does. I've listened to it more time than I can count and still can't get past the feeling of being totally empty and all filled up at the same time.
It takes a lot, for a song to move me. This song by Disturbed, moves me to tears.
It was great, an unexpected gem.

pambarab exactly,when I first heard disturbed version,it brought tears to my eyes
pambarab a good song is a good song. Try Highway to Hell, AC/DC original, then go Jes Greenberg same song, the Hay Seed Dixie again same song. You’ll get hard rock, acoustic Singer song writer, the blue grass. All sound great cause it’s a great song.
Disturbed also did an amazing cover of "Land of Confusion" from Genesis. You may wanna check that out too!
So good!
Yes they did. I usually like the original. But, these guys do it well.
They've done several songs like Tears for Fears, Genesis, and some others. But they wanted to go back farther & it was the drummer who said no to the idea of turning it into a true heavy metal song.

Have watched a couple reactions to this song and you did the only correct action when it starts....MAX out the volume!
Yes...I heard this version over and over and overrrr again. Goosebumps still, always. Nice reaction vid! Thnx
Simon and Garfunkle - a warning, Disturbed - a primal scream. Paul Simon, It's yours now.
His voice is impeccable! He moves your soul with his take on this song. Just beautiful.
For me the deepest and best low voice ever heard and such a great singer and performer! Gotta love that! ;)

Pentatonix did a cover of this song recently you should definitely check it out! But for me this is the best version of this song.
Just listened to the pentatonix version. This is way better. There’s that extra guttural feel that’s lacking in the pentatonix version.
Their version is pretty, but not got the raw emotion that I like/prefer in this.
Down with the sickness is one of my favorites by Disturbed. A lot of thier stuffs a little too metal for me, but I do love a lot of their stuff. I'm more of an Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat gril

You had the same reaction as the rest of us on hearing this for the first time. Paul Simon was so impressed with this version, he said was the best cover of his song he had ever heard and he posted a link to it on his own web site. In my opinion this is better than the original.
I’ve never seen you look so mesmerized by watching a video. That was great. I love Disturbed. They’re local to my hometown, Chicago. You gotta hear more. Try the song, “The Light”. It has a positive message!
Yeah, this was a fantastic cover. The vocals were so good.
Absolutely loved your reaction lol Same as my first reaction to hearing it. Gives me chills every single damn time.
Great reaction mine was very similar the first time I've heard it. I just subscribed your great. This version is fantastic I can't get enough of it
Dude, please react to the live version on Conan o'Brien it's awesome 👍 I am new to commenting and I have a few suggestions for you! Also hi everyone 😊 xxx
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to comment the suggestions.
@@PatrolNation hi a reason to fight is another one of their quiet songs I'm also new
@@blackbladephantom7832 I love that song!
@@Its_Me_Andie cool
Yes, the conan version is even better!
Disturbed did a Live Version on Conan. Pentatonix just did a cover of it as well.
Just so great watching your reactions. And like so many other reviewers, at loss for words. Thank you for sharing the music and yourself. fran NM USA
Mind blowing with headphones on for sure
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel did the original back in the early 60's. After this version came out, Paul Simon gave his approval. When the writer or the song gives their nod, you did justice to the song!
thankyou for an honest reaction to this FANTASTIC song.
Having watched several of these reaction videos to Disturbed 'Sound of Silence' it seems the main thing people say is an awed 'WOW!" Sometimes many many times.
GREAT DISCOVERY FOR YOU... KEEP GOING!!! I've said this before and I'll say it again... A 1964/65 song, written by Paul Simon and re-imagined by Disturbed in 2015; datz 50 years!! For me, this is by far the best ___ (song/video/cover; fill in the blank) these past 5 years!! This song literally ambushes you... catches everyone by surprise! The powerhouse vocals, the amazing arrangement, etc... just a great song incredibly re-imagined by a Heavy Metal band... done right.
Amazing cover! Song has always given me goosebumps!
Wow,I love your response it makes it better than any other reaction took that smirk right off your face you are now Disturbed
You got that right PG. Once this version gets inside your head it's stuck there forever. It is so damn awesome.
Great reaction mate, it looked like you thought he was singing right at you.
I get hardcore goosebumps when I watch the video
Amazing band live and David Draiman sounds this good !! Highly recommend some more. Prayer is a good place to start, a golden oldie 😁😁 great reaction, pretty cool that you had no idea what was coming 🎶🎶🎶🎶😀🤘
Loved your reaction, it was great !!! You were loving that, it showed. I am a true Home Fry, but I do listen to others, and I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. This song was unbelievable great, best cover ever !!! David D has an amazing voice, I tried listening to their other songs, but just cant get into heavy metal.
David Draiman has such a powerful voice. I still get goosebumps when I listen/watch this video.
The first time i heard it my reaction is? OH what's this?,what the?, sound of silence?? And then speechless at the end!! Aamazing!!!
One of my favourites of all time, incredible voice, fantastic version of Sound of Silence. I want this song played at my funeral.
Your reaction was fricking awesome! I love Distrubed!!!
Disturbed is a phenomenal musical sensation, this version of the song sears the soul, boils with rage, the warning went ignored, now its the preface to apocalypse, awesome!
Such power. This can only be described as beautiful fury....great job
The first time I heard this on the radio, I didn't realize it was Disturbed...and I'm a huge fan of theirs! I honestly could listen to David Draiman sing all day and never get tired of hearing his voice. I think it's like chocolate for the ears, if that makes any sense.
First off. Disturbed is incredible been a fan for over a decade, glad you found these guys and can enjoy their great tunes.
Secondly, Definitely gotta react to the version they did live on Connan O'Brien.
Lastly, Simon once said that Disturbed's cover was their favorite cover of this song that they had heard.
Yes!!!! “the Opposite Of Silence”!!!!!!! Somehow I don’t think Paul Simon would mind that description AT ALL!!! Thanks for reacting!!
Check Disturbed "Down with the Sickness" and "Ten Thousand Fists in the Air"
I also really like Prayer
That song got me into Disturbed when I was 14
LOVE LOVE your reaction!!!! It is amazing!
"That's one way to make Simon Garfunkel sound good" love it.
Relevant when Simon and Garfunkel did it and terrifying when you hear Disturbed because it's more than relevant today, it's happening. Paul Simon loves their version. Fabulous rendition.
I love how Disturbed sang this with their twist. I thought it was amazing!
You are the only one I have seen so far that actually listened to it the right way with headphones. All the others have one earbud in and miss all the sound and intensity. 👍
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
L o L! AwZm!
Thnk you for your react. This song has such an IMPACT.
OWH! yes, REACT to some of the other DISTURBED songs...🙊🙉🙈
Paul Simon was more than pleased w the version, story tells.
Anyways Chill out, all the best from Arctic LoVe Islands, Norway
I love this song and I love his voice, I love that it’s different from their other songs, he sings is so passionately. You should really react to Disturbed, they’re amazing.
that right there is how david makes his fans. that song is stunning yet chilling. cold that seeps deep in your veins. love it
Excellent reaction to a most Awesome cover. I will never get tired of watching reactions to this version. Good job.
I have watched several different people's live reaction to this song. Everyone reacts as you did. WOW!!!! Is what they all have said. 6:03 "What is this band Disturbed? I've got to listen to some more of that." Disturbed normally does not sound like that. I love their music, but this is a whole different level. I have never heard something that moved me as much as this. His sound is so pure and raw at the same time. Amazing! I could AND have listened to it over and over. The official video has some powerful images as well. Worth every second.
