Yes , we can listen to the music any time , uninterrupted and nobody talking over it . But , we would miss Doug's insight and analysis , which is the purpose of this channel . I think it's worth a bit of sacrilege at the least .
The RUclips channel The Charismatic Voice did an interview with David Draiman years ago, and he said he had a lesion on his vocal cord but didn’t want to cancel their performance on Conan. David was disappointed in his performance that night. I must say, he’s the only one disappointed by that performance. He was amazing!!
The awareness to acknowledge one’s maturity/ “different opinions “, in a review of who we are and who we “where “ is insightful and intelligent. Love this Doug, Rock on my guy!!!!
I remember you reviewing this , also your first Maiden and Devin Townsend. Hadn't realised it's been that long , how time flies when you listen to good music. Doug thank you .
Always loved David Draiman's voice since Disturbed's first album dropped, and they all really are incredible musicians. Can't wait to see them live again, and hope they play this song.
Congrats on 2 mill. Another GREAT cover by a metal band is Five Finger Death Punch doing House of the Rising Sun, changing the time signature front 3/4 to 4/4 in order to change from a folk sound to a rock sound. You should check it out too.
I know the performance from Conan is very popular but I think their performance with Myles Kennedy is even better. Definitely worth checking out, maybe when your original reaction hits 3 million!
There's a version with Myles Kennedy?!? OMG I'm checking that out now. I bet David and Myles' vocals would be a fantastic blend. Edit: Just heard it and yes indeed their performance is amazing! The harmonies❤❤ Sound of Silence Disturbed ft. Myles Kennedy Live: ruclips.net/video/H3By4DZyTNM/видео.htmlsi=Iwop7xjhhVSd-pJH
Such a fabulous presentation of that song either way. David's voice is extraordinary. I have a particular fondness for those lower voices. Thanks for visiting these 2 versions.
Super congrats on 2 million views on SoS. i have been here for the majority of your journey. Love your reactions and insight to the music. Keep up the excellent reactions.
I watched that reaction back in February 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed it, around the time I subscribed to the channel. I also very much enjoyed this reaction to that reaction. I also joined your Patreon later in 2021. So, Doug, thanks for all that you do, and thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Great insight as always. I agree music is a journey and hopefully along the way we may gather new insights, understanding and wisdom. There is much I am glad to have given a second or even third chances and not all of it is music. On a different topic how do you like your Meze headphones? I have had a pair for about 2 years and I really enjoy them.
Looking forward to THIS video getting a Doug reaction when it hits 2 million, so Doug can react to himself reacting to himself reacting to this song. 😂
One of my favorite songs sung truly beautifully. That is the hallmark of genuinely great songs…they can be sung in different ways and sound tremendous. I love S&G and will never say it’s less than Disturbed’s interpretation. Each tells the story of the song differently, and I’m grateful to have each to listen.
There is another live version out there from a concert where he duets this song with Miles Kennedy. They sound great together and you get some of the classic harmonies with the new style.
This was great, Doug. I will say that I don't mind the pauses. I kind of prefer them actually so you can get your thoughts out without distraction from the music. But backing up a little after the pause to get the context for what's coming next helps. Cheers to the 2M.
It’s interesting to hear from Simon and Garfunkel their reaction to this cover. They actually wanted their version to sound closer to what Disturbed did instead of the version we got which is what their label wanted.
One of the problems with the live performance is that the TV show producers insisted he was autotuned. Even if it's not heavily processed, it colours the timbre. He was pissed about it but didn't have any say in the matter.
David Draiman stands out as a great vocalist because of the nuances of his NATURAL voice. Autotune and Pitch Correction brings singers like David Draiman down to the level of lesser singers.
If you haven't done so already, it would be interesting to see your reaction to the Disturbed/Myles Kennedy live version of this. I think it's the only time they've done it with a guest vocalist.
I laughed when you were freaking out about stopping the music. I feel that way every time a person who is doing reactions videos, does that! It's like "Stop interrupting the music and listen. It will tell you the story!" I love this version of the song more than Simon and Garfunkel's version. I think David showed the frustration that people didn't get the message from the first performance by S&G.
I'm sure it's already been said, but the fact that David Draiman had high fever during the Conan O'Brien performance adds even more value to his incredible performance. One of the best metal vocalist on earth
Totally. It's very difficult to always be 100%. Nuance is the key here. Kudos to David for doing this, despite being sick. Plus, the band is excellent. And to hell with autotune. P.S. Why say "from" and not "by"? I'm curious why the grammar has changed... songs have always been "by" a band, and not "from".
2024 Doug reacting as I did to the 2021 Doug video. Oh well we were in lockdowns. Simon & Garfunkel's version are more of a silent (heh) introspective. Disturbed turned it into a song of protest.
Doug you should listen to the band White Lion. The guitarist Vito Bratta in his melodic phrasing and his memerable solos and I think you would really enjoy them
One song I'd love to hear your take on is "Underground" by Cody Fry. It's one of the first songs I ever listened to that truly left an impact on me and was actually what inspired me to get into composing myself. I think it's truly a beautiful track and, as I said, I'd love to hear you react to it and discuss it. Anyways, thanks for all the great content! You're probably my favorite music reaction/analysis channels
Sorry I had to drop, power cut. Doug please check out Corvyx’s cover of Sound of Silence . Please I have asked before and I know you’re busy but it’s worth a watch I promise you that. ❤
He stopped it way too often back then but at least he didn't insist on inserting a box of rice into everything. The herb is perfectly acceptable but I have often left a post due to the cereal.
Please react to "Sogno di Volare" by Christopher Tin from Civilization IV, it's a classical composed masterpiece for the most famous 4x-game from Sid Meier. ❤❤❤
Just think, in three years you can do a reaction of you doing a reaction of your reaction. All kiding aside, this is a cool idea. Going back and crutiqueing yourself.
My only issue with this song isn't actually the singing, its the instrumentation. The Sound of Silence really effectively uses its soundscape- it almost stands equal to the singing itself. Honestly the production in general is a driving force behind what elevates the song. The studio version for DISTURBED was, in my opinion, trying to be a bit too grande in its instrumentation and didn't use space as well. I think that flattened the song out for me. However, I had never heard the live version. Now I wish there was a version that was half way inbetween the two (and with studio production) because I think I'd actually really like that version of the song.
I love this cover but he blew one word, substitutes "on" for "of", a little liberty taken but you should not change perfection. Other than that, its great! Congratulation on 2 million views Doug! PS he fixes it in the live version!
Pardon me if this has already been pointed out, but in the interview with Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charasmatic Voice) and David Draiman of Disturbed .... David stated that during the live performance of The Sound Of Silence on Conan O'Brian .... he had a lesion on one of his vocal cords - hence the notable difference from the studio version vs the live performance .... Of course this would explain the differences between the two recordings. I still think the live performance is unequivocally the best live version of any song in existence.
I must say, truly, that music saved my life. I love sitting and listening to music with others who appreciate it and get the emotions and feelings that I experience when hearing great tunes. I am really appreciative of this channel, Doug. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with us all. Blessings.
I don't quite remember when I started regularly following your channel -- must be some time in 2021. This is the oldest reaction by you that I watched according to my RUclips history.
I LOVED that! I'd forgotten how hearing the original (for the first time) several years ago just blew me away. One of the best examples, surely, of how if you are going to cover a loved and popular track, do it YOUR way. We had another GREAT example the other day with Nazareth's superb cover of "This Flight Tonight". And tonight's live version was at least as good as the studio one. Thanks Doug!!
Hello Doug! I have a suggestion,old song, very progessiv. Pekka Pohjola ruclips.net/video/I1qrakmvXcg/видео.html. He turned down Frank Zappa with the line "to much bullshit", I think he wrote this one together with Mike Oldfield. A Masterpiece. Brilliant bassplayer.
I do like this new style of letting the music play all the way through. It's funny, the videos on The Charismatic voice are about the same length, and the way she does it with the pauses, I think you lose a bit of something from it - the vibes, though maybe that's better for in-the-moment vocal analysis. Anyway, like I say, I prefer it this way with the backstory at the start and the summary at the end. Also, great song, despite what I think of David.
@@Doug.Helvering I never knew that before. And so, that must make the amazing success of your online channels all the more uplifting - and justifiably so - for you and Meg? Doug, you are one of several creators I subscribe to and admire who, in recent weeks have said something very similar about themselves. It's really refreshing to see how online and social media can prove such a power for really great, positive outcomes, not just the too widely-publicised problem outcomes? Especially after hearing such a wonderful interpretation of that song just now.

Big thanks 🙏
Yes , we can listen to the music any time , uninterrupted and nobody talking over it .

"He stopped it again!" lol. Doug is great. Both of them! 🤣
I legit burst out laughing at your own reaction to yourself stopping the video at around the 12min mark! This is fun.
"He stopped it again" 🤣🤣
When you criticize yourself 🤣
Now it a certain other classically-trained reactor would also stop stopping the videos. 😂
@@WayneKitching yes lol
Doug shouting "quit stopping the music" at Doug, is one of the best things I've seen 😂
Seeing you come around on the distortion warms my heart.
The awareness to acknowledge one’s maturity/ “different opinions “, in a review of who we are and who we “where “ is insightful and intelligent. Love this Doug, Rock on my guy!!!!
I remember you reviewing this , also your first Maiden and Devin Townsend. Hadn't realised it's been that long , how time flies when you listen to good music. Doug thank you .
omg, I remember watching your original reaction back in the day and I'm so glad you reacted to the live version on Conan.
Thanks Doug. Another great example of why I so enjoy your channels. And of how the internet and social media can be such a power for good
Thank you so much, Adrian! I am truly thankful for your support. I agree, the internet and social media can indeed be a power for good ❤️

I've seen "Disturbed" in concert at least 3 or 4 times , WOW ! 😲
They are awesome in concert
RIP to Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh 🕊️🌹
Can't wait for the Re-Re-Reacting to DISTURBED at 3 million.

yeah, the duet version is awesome.
The live version is phenomenal ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I think I prefer it because it’s so authentic, and powerful ❤️🔥
This was so funny 😂 your reactions to yourself are priceless
I think the thing that impresses me the most about David Draiman and Disturbed as a whole is they seem to just get better over time.
This was great, Doug. I will say that I don't mind the pauses. I kind of prefer them actually so you can get your thoughts out without distraction from the music. But backing up a little after the pause to get the context for what's coming next helps. Cheers to the 2M.
I also ADORE, to be in you're "Club"!!!!
How dose it feel to see you in the past and how much you changed and how much better you got at reacting
It’s interesting to hear from Simon and Garfunkel their reaction to this cover. They actually wanted their version to sound closer to what Disturbed did instead of the version we got which is what their label wanted.
One of the problems with the live performance is that the TV show producers insisted he was autotuned. Even if it's not heavily processed, it colours the timbre. He was pissed about it but didn't have any say in the matter.
Yeah I thought you can just catch it in the quieter high bit but it’s still a stellar performance.
David Draiman stands out as a great vocalist because of the nuances of his NATURAL voice. Autotune and Pitch Correction brings singers like David Draiman down to the level of lesser singers.
If you haven't done so already, it would be interesting to see your reaction to the Disturbed/Myles Kennedy live version of this. I think it's the only time they've done it with a guest vocalist.

Nice to see 7th son of the 7th son album on the wall
More reactors should do this. It's all about growth.
gotta do sabbaths master of reality album !!
Hi from the deep south....of England. 😁
Such a good live version, they also do a decent version of Land of confusion by Genesis
congats to the 2 millions ;D greetings from bavaria
Can't wait until he reacts to his reaction of his reaction

You stopped it just when it was getting good, now you know how we feel :)
funky headphones design
The official video has had over 1 BILLION views.😮
2024 Doug reacting as I did to the 2021 Doug video. Oh well we were in lockdowns. Simon & Garfunkel's version are more of a silent (heh) introspective. Disturbed turned it into a song of protest.
Doug, you should check out their version with Myles Kennedy as special guest.
Ok, now Doug should do a rewatch of the rewatch in 2027
Doug you should listen to the band White Lion. The guitarist Vito Bratta in his melodic phrasing and his memerable solos and I think you would really enjoy them

Nice re-reaction.
I am more partial to the Conan show live version. Even if he was a bit sick while performing.
Beer money and a joyous celebration of 2 million views!
Hey Doug! You should really check out the Soundtrack of a video game called "Metaphor: ReFantazio" !
Hey Doug, please react to "Galneryus - Angel of Salvation" They're a Japanese Neo-Classical Power Metal band from Japan!!
I recently watched your reaction to Dance of Eternity, another early reaction video. I’d be interested to see your reaction to your original reaction!
Sorry I had to drop, power cut. Doug please check out Corvyx’s cover of Sound of Silence . Please I have asked before and I know you’re busy but it’s worth a watch I promise you that. ❤
Not to bad, better than i expected, thanks for tip😁
I love all of Doug’s videos, even when I can’t stand the music, this being a perfect example.
Two million? That's a nation, mate.
That's just the vicinity of where I live 😱
He stopped it way too often back then but at least he didn't insist on inserting a box of rice into everything. The herb is perfectly acceptable but I have often left a post due to the cereal.
If you like live performances try Stephen Stills Manassas. I like “Jet Set”. But you pick one. I like them all.
Running tracks
My take on the "Sound of Silence" - ruclips.net/video/BvT6zwjC-0A/видео.html
Whoa
Please please have a listen to Nick Drake Doug. His story and music will break your heart. Love from the U.K. x
Should do the same wit Holy Wars by Megadeth, i felt SO sad by your reaction
Please react to "Sogno di Volare" by Christopher Tin from Civilization IV, it's a classical composed masterpiece for the most famous 4x-game from Sid Meier. ❤❤❤

Should I come back for the reaction to the reaction of the reactin video?
All in due time I'm sure
It's validating for you to acknowledge how annoying the stops are.
Re-reactions? Is this the new meta? If so, I'm going to re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-react to Dua Lipa's video for "Physical."
Is that double-Doug, or Doug squared? 😂
😂😂
I love this cover but he blew one word, substitutes "on" for "of", a little liberty taken but you should not change perfection. Other than that, its great! Congratulation on 2 million views Doug! PS he fixes it in the live version!
