Conan O'Brian said in an interview that by the time the second verse started, every single crew member working backstage had stopped what they were doing and they had all come out to watch this performance like Moth's drawn to a light. Conan said that was the first and only time he had ever witnessed that happen during his 20+ year career as a Talk Show Host.
Simon and Garfunkel created the song, and finally, the song is complete, its performed with the rawness, the hurt and regrets of the soul. IMHO this song is now finished for the ages.
This is the best version of the song i have ever heard. David's grandfather was a Cantor and David had been training most of his life. The real thing that makes this version soo incredible is that he performed the song that night with a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord and refused to cancel because he had given his word therefore he was not about to break his commitment that night.
People will tell you he had the flu. But I just watched an interview with David and it turns out he had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord. This makes it even MORE impressive. He was trained as a Cantor and after 20+ years still works with a vocal coach. One more thing, I’d love to hear you do a break down of PENTATONIX. The number one a capella group in the world.
@@jasonregister3494 how many Grammy’s do they have? Oh yeah, Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? 😂😂😂 don’t get me wrong, I actually voted for home free when they competed. I’m just not into country. 🤭😂🤗💋
I've watched dozens of vocal coach reations to this song and am surprised that none of them ever mention his flawless choices and placement of his vowels, like "in the naked light I sAw..." He's made very specific choices, and they are perfect!
He’s pretty amazing! He talks about the technique of using that growl when singing, as he does it often when singing hard rock. He stresses the importance of knowing how to do it properly.
You may want to consider listening to more music from Disturbed. They've been around almost 30 years now and have an extensive catalogue of music that is very different from this song.
Watch the video so not only do you get the vocal but the truly best depiction of a song I've ever heard & saw. This song came out in the mid-60s when I was a kid. It hooked me then. And since then I've heard it literally thousands of times, some good covers some not so much. I'll confess I used to eat sleep & breathe S&G. No version could top them - until this. Even just listening to it now, it gave me goose bumps down to & under my toes. David Draiman brought all the disappointment, sadness & anger from his life to this song. End of story. Full stop. Period. Forever.
This song is about the lack of communication in people today. It truly is a masterpiece. Let's give props to Simon and Garfunkel for the original. This song wouldn't have happened otherwise. Check out the studio version.
David draiman is a professionally trained singer. His voice sounds incredible because he exercises it. I hate, HATE, when people critique this song without listening to the orignal by Simon & Garfunkel. Not only is the emotion different but so is the emotion.
The thing about this version he was so sick. He like a fear of a hundred and two, but they forced him to sit down.. Because he wasn't not going to perform. This is the version Simon heard email Tim right away. She told him he had the song it was blown away by this version. What people don't know I watched give them do an interview david He's classically train because he wanted to be at candar. If you've never heard to call to prayer in synagogue, you're missing out.. Does how he's to get to those places it's the most beautiful haunting sound. Everybody thinks disturbed the screaming, it's not. He's the only person with the powerful screaming that I've heard that can actually control it. It's like it comes from his feet.
A good friend had the unbelievable luck to be at the show that night, and he said the same thing. He also said the band got a 10 minute standing ovation!
Touching on creating more than one sound with your voice, the singers I enjoy the most are those with multifaceted vocals. Particularly in rock and metal, where some are capable of both melodic singing and also fully distorted growls and screams. To me it keeps their performances dynamic and fresh, pivoting between multiple sounds.
Cantor trained vocalists like David have a magical clarity, richness and power in their voices. Neil Diamond, another cantor trained vocalist, has/had a similar clarity and richness in his voice although I don't think he had the range and growl that David puts to such good use.
evryone who is reacted has had nothing but praise for his voice rightly so but what is more amazing is david was fighting a bad flu and had a fever during this performance
Great reaction as always, Justin. I was amazed when I first heard Disturbed's cover version of this song. He's a truly awe-inspiring singer. I have to admit, tho, that I'm a Pentaholic (PENTATONIX fan) for life so I obviously prefer their version of this song. However, he's right up there with them cos he's that good. Hopefully, Justin, you'll consider reacting to Pentatonix some time. They're the best Acapella group ever. As far as I'm concerned, they saved Accapella from extinction. Lots of love to you both. Bronwyn (Cape Town South Africa)
At the time of this recording he was running a 101 temperature and was sick as a dog. They wanted to move this to another date but he wouldn't have it .
As you can see he has been musician for quite long time, I have long list of similar bands that are under the same type of genre and music which despite their band name, they can be found under categories of punk-rock and/or christian rock.
This is a lie! He didn’t have the flu.. he had a lesion on his vocal cord ruclips.net/video/idFt3y9HlYI/видео.htmlsi=wrg7jVBST8scRsyC he talks about it here. Stop making sht up
* new to the channel. look forward for searching through. It is amazing to me how music strikes so hard. I can deal w physical pain fine, and emotional might take a few year to work through... mu music SLAYS me. I am very grateful for react vids ---- - - - So maybe I'm probably wrong... but my posture changes when something strikes me, sometimes learning forward but sometimes back, and that telltale throat swallow...when reactor is searching for air. ... that speaks more to me than wide eyes or open lips. Posture and throat tells a lot.
a little bit of trivia disturbed puts a track from other bands on every album and they are all completely different to their normal style of singing my favourite is land of confusion cheers from down under
Not this song but the band, welcome to heavy metal. SO many great singers like Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Mike Patton, they can sing it all and a bit more.
Have you heard of Sabaton? If not. Listen to their guitarist Tommy Johansson. Divine voice, plays any number of instruments. Take, for example, Abbas the winner takes it all, queen, etc He sings this song also.
Listen to some Home Free,an Acapella group with a beatboxer, American pie w/ Don Meclane Elvira w/The Oak ridge boy's, When a man loves a women, Listen to the Music. Impressive is all I can say
I think this song is a good example of the difference between 99% of people and a great vocalist. Anyone can talk technique, its like don king in boxing.
An example like this is why, as a metal fan, you kinda want to throw a person out of the window when he says that metal singers only sings metal because they cant really sing, or the musicians only play metal because they cant play real” music. There are some amazing talents in metal.
Do you know Voctave? An acapella group that is almost beyond understanding. My favorite is their Disney princess medley, and if you are interested, then i will suggest you start with that one. They are some if the best singers i have heard in my life.

Thats so great! David is such an amazing singer and I am glad people love their cover!
I am not surprised, he is phenomenal 🔥
Where did he say this? I’ve been trying to find his response to this
Wow
Never seen an actual real source for this. Seems like a rumor that stuck.
After hearing this 1000 times I still get goosebumps 😊
Same here bro 😎
RIGHT
I noticed that this young hip couple didn't seem to react that way.
First time hearing it today , I love disturbed but I never heard this live version and I can say I’m addicted
Definitely!!
When God asked David "do you want to sound like an angel or devil ", he said yes.
🤣
Hahahaha
When the verse " people hearing without listening" was playing they both were talking without listening 😂😂😂
😅
This is my favorite version of this song. The rock growl gives it so much emotion.
Have you heard Malinda's version ruclips.net/video/iPHWR9-Y47Y/видео.htmlsi=dGqkTs1EKygrL_zj
Simon and garfunkel sang as a warning. David sings for the aftermath
Yes!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I saw disturbed live back in 2019 and when they did this song live it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
@@michaelpalma6346 lucky you
This is one of my top five covers of all times. Disturbed really made this their own.
Mine too. Also, Charles Bradley switching genres and singing Ozzy Osbornes 'Changes'. Its beautiful.
It’s my number one - hands down ❤🙏
So what are the other four? I must know!
@@calcramerHurt by Johnny Cash is definitely on the list.
Simon and Garfunkel created the song, and finally, the song is complete, its performed with the rawness, the hurt and regrets of the soul. IMHO this song is now finished for the ages.

David didn't say anything about his lesion bleeding.
@@unknownrider3071Atleast it’s more truthful than the people saying he almost died from a 106 degree fever and barely remembers the performance 😂😂😂
People will tell you he had the flu. But I just watched an interview with David and it turns out he had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord. This makes it even MORE impressive. He was trained as a Cantor and after 20+ years still works with a vocal coach. One more thing, I’d love to hear you do a break down of PENTATONIX. The number one a capella group in the world.
That would be home free 😂

Don't have them waste their time with PTX. PTX should leave the music industry.
@@gordon020958 I sure hope you’re kidding. Because if you’re not, WOW.

The Charismatic Voice does a reaction to the album version and mentions this
He has an unbelievable vocal range and every time I hear this song it simply amazes me

He is a classically trained Jewish Cantor and I cannot get enough of him. ❤
No matter how many times I've seen/heard this rendition it brings me to tears absolutely beautiful and powerful
This cover keeps giving and giving more from start to finish. Its like a ride that keeps getting better and better.
He’s opera trained. What’s even more impressive he was quite sick during this performance. Yet still did this amazing performance
Trained as a Cantor, like his father and grandfather.
This song is about the lack of communication in people today. It truly is a masterpiece. Let's give props to Simon and Garfunkel for the original. This song wouldn't have happened otherwise. Check out the studio version.
love this cover soooooo much! it's been on my playlist for soooo long! :D
David had the flu and a high fever when did this performance--that's why he was sitting down--but still knocked it out of the park!
David is awesome! His range ,, he can sing anything . He was trained in classical , and it shows .
David draiman is a professionally trained singer. His voice sounds incredible because he exercises it. I hate, HATE, when people critique this song without listening to the orignal by Simon & Garfunkel. Not only is the emotion different but so is the emotion.
Gotta love when a Rock Musician is classically trained and his grandfather was a Cantor in a synagogue in Israel. His control is insane
I loved this version better than the original ❤❤❤
He was sick and running a fever during this.
David had the flu when he did this
I saw them live last year and they performed this and is was absolutely amazing! Blew my mind
The thing about this version he was so sick. He like a fear of a hundred and two, but they forced him to sit down.. Because he wasn't not going to perform.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MASTERPIECE??????? woooowww 😁🫶💜
He was recovering from bronchitis and had a fever of 102 while singing this
This song is about the awakened helping those that are waking up. ''The is deep.
David Draiman is classically trained. a lot of people dont know that because he normally sings heavy metal. Once he slows it down you can really tell.
A good friend had the unbelievable luck to be at the show that night, and he said the same thing. He also said the band got a 10 minute standing ovation!
I weep every time I hear this song.
And just think about it.This man with the voice of an angel sings down with the sickness I absolutely love him and his band they are my favorite

I loved your reaction that you left your comments till the end of the song thank you
He is a trained “cantor” there is really no judgement here he is a remarkable artist hands down.! …
MASTERPIECE!!! BEST COVER EVER!!!!
If you want to hear the different ranges of voice then give Brian Justin Crum singing Creep by Radiohead on AGT. Absolutely brilliant
He has been Classically Trained to sing he took lessons he said
Cantor trained vocalists like David have a magical clarity, richness and power in their voices. Neil Diamond, another cantor trained vocalist, has/had a similar clarity and richness in his voice although I don't think he had the range and growl that David puts to such good use.
Love you guys, good luck ❤
I love ur react ,greetings from Serbia ,u explain everything what I expect from one coach :D
Paul Simon himself happened to be watching that night. He wrote David Draiman an email telling them how much he liked their version.
evryone who is reacted has had nothing but praise for his voice rightly so but what is more amazing is david was fighting a bad flu and had a fever during this performance
David had a fever when he sang this live! And his voice never faulted ❤
This is even more impressive when you realize that David Draiman was actually sick during this performance.
A must reaction to Shinedown - Simple Man
Masterful

You didn't notice how he controlled the raspyness in his vocal cords? No way are you a voice coach 😮
David is a badass! Period. Some people are natural
I love this most Epic cover!!!💜
I've got 5 words for you, " Oh wah ah ah ah". You've got to get "Down with the sickness" Disturbed
Big fan sir❤❤
Talent runs in the family. His father sung in the Synagogues.
As you can see he has been musician for quite long time, I have long list of similar bands that are under the same type of genre and music which despite their band name, they can be found under categories of punk-rock and/or christian rock.
The fact he was extremely sick with the flu for this performance makes it even more amazing.
No its was covid
@@willjimenez9013 Um, 2016 bro
This is a lie! He didn’t have the flu.. he had a lesion on his vocal cord ruclips.net/video/idFt3y9HlYI/видео.htmlsi=wrg7jVBST8scRsyC he talks about it here. Stop making sht up
And he had the flu and fever!! So impressed.
He is a heavy metal singer who is a trained cantor. That might explain it for you
Homeboy was sick as hell when he sung this too!
Sampai tepuk tangan mereka 🎉
And the crazy part??? Is that he had a horrible flu while performing this!
Actually it was a lesion on his cords that was bleeding.
He has the voice of the Angel first, Angel 😇 👹
The best I've heard about this song is this:
S and G sang the song as warning
Disturbed sings it as rage
It's a great contrast
I am Disturbed 💯🖤🤍2️⃣🐕
He is a classically trained Jewish Cantor

Loved you bro finally you react this songs ❤❤❤❤ no words to say
Hes an Opera trained singer. All you need to know
P.S. Greatest loving person on earth
And to think David Draiman was ill during this awesome performance.
David the man,nobody can beat him,coaches go back to school 😂.
He is a classically trained singer...
Is it just me or does this feel like an infomercial?
100%
You are adorable !

God: Do you want to sing like an angel or a demon?
David: Yes.
This is why Dave Draiman is one of the best frontman ever
Also in this performance was sick
U should react to halestorm - love bites (so do I) captured in the live room. Her voice is impressive
Great Reaction. You need to react to "Dan Vasc - Metal Singer performs Amazin Grace" Its Jawdropping too ;)
Interesting that you're talking about Italian operatic schools, When David Draiman is a trained Jewish Temple Cantor.
Good reaction
I think this song is a good example of the difference between 99% of people and a great vocalist. Anyone can talk technique, its like don king in boxing.

Not bad for a guy who had the flu at the time.. damn!
