??? he copied disturbed version of the song to a T, every note and vocal nuance is exactly as david draiman sings it and it's their instrumental track... I'm not sure why people are crediting Dan for this version. Draiman's voice is more natural in this style, Dan is forcing his voice to copy Draiman.
My favorite version WAS S&G's, UNTIL I heard this one. Daniel takes any song he wants and turns it into something better, every time!! He builds a mental image of all the feelings he wants to use and drags us into his world. His voice is the vehicle that leads us - from whisper to high and clean notes, from crystalline clarity to the "dirty" edges of fine, sweetly metallic sand. He builds the theme and strengthens it, and then makes a gentle return - together with us - just so that our soul doesn't float around without knowing the way home. 😃 And his look is hypnotic, really... there's a universe of feelings always overflowing inside. Thank you very much for your reaction. Hugs from Curitiba - Brazil.
Completely agree with you. His version is the best. To really hear the scope of his skills, listen to Bring Me to Life and his newest, The Number of the Beast. Both of these will blow you away. Thanks for continuing to react to Dan Vasc.
Simon & Garfunkel would be proud of Dan Vasc’s rendition of their song. Disturbed was good, but Dan’s is superior. Tune into Vasc. You will be mesmerized and you will be sporting goosebumps.☮️💟
Superior how? David's voice is far more natural and it's very clear that Dan is just trying to copy David's voice. It's disturbed's song and their backing track. There's no way "dan's version" would be superior..
Having grown up with Simon & Garfunkle's version, for me, that was always one of their most brilliant songs of all time - then I heard Disturbed's version which brought the song to a whole new level, BUT DAN'S VERSION is by far, for me, the most awesome of this iconic song - I'm probably completely and absolutely biased, but Dan could sing the phone book and it would be amazing!
Dan has been offered recording contracts, but they have offered him just 12% of earnings, want five albums in five years and he would just be an employee. He loves being independent and his own boss.
He hasn't been 'snapped up and signed' because he won't be a slave. Dan is his own man, he wants to be free to do his own thing in his own way, and with a company he would be forced to tour, and he prefers not to.
Love Dan Vasc. He is so passionate about his singing. Any song is heightened by his vocals. I was brought up on Simon and Garfunkel and believe they do a great job. David Draiman of Disturbed made this song his own and it was epic. IMO Dan did a cover of the Disturbed version and added passion. Loved all the versions.
this makes no sense, this version IS disturbed's version of the song so you'd have to put them first, if we're rating this version of the song. Dan copied David note for note, every vocal nuance is exactly the same, I've listened the David's 100s of times.
LOL - Yes he's a killer with all his songs - he is mesmerising to watch and goosebumps every single time - i think this is the best version of this song! he has such a fantastic voice and such versatility - its ridiculous! He could sing road signs and it would sound great !
Great rendition, but who knows if it’s the best? After all, it’s all about the listener’s opinion, and opinions when it comes to music are completely subjective. There is no objective method or system to quantitatively determine what is best since it’s all dependent upon the ear and musical taste of each listener. For each person who puts this one first, there will be at least one old timer who still prefers the original. So, who is right? They both are! Just acknowledge how great a SONG it is that each rendition can stir debate about which is best, and this song is a masterpiece.
Dan's "Sound Of Silence" cover is simply the best. It is based on Disturbed's version and Dan killed their version as he ever does with his covers. There are also original songs by Dan Vasc together with his band Fearless on RUclips. Please check "Tale with no End" that is on his channel.
I agree with you.......i didn't care for the original that much, rather boring.....but then Disturbed and David Draiman did a great job......and ur right, along comes Dan the Man and just slays everybody !!!.....great job !!
my first time hearing this artist. great singer, but sounds like he is cramming the song down your throat. i like the smooth, yet powerful, original by simon and garfunkel best.
Great rendition, what a singer. The control over his voice is superb. Maybe because of that it is technically even stronger than David's version. I wonder if he has it in him to create his very own version? This was a one to one copy to Disturbed's version. That bothered me, to be fair. And I want to add this was so controlled that it did miss the emotion that David had put into his rendition Michael, I receive recomendations to your videos as usual, just to let you know.
hi michael, hope you're doing good. he is very good but, i still like the original simon & garfunkle best although disturbed do come very close. i suppose it's what you grow up with. i often feel the same way about other singers who try to copy or better the original, it doesn't usually end very well, although vasc's version is up there with the best. another nice reaction michael, take care.
I disagree with you on that. I also grew up with Simon & Garfunkel, and always loved the song, and thought it was a beautiful song, but it wasn't until i heard Disturbed that i felt i finally really understood the song. Then came Dan with his cover, and that just blew it wide open, because he went so much deeper emotionally. He is a master when it comes to the delivery of the deeper layers to every single song he does, like he feels every word. Not many singers can do that, and definitely not to the level that this guy can.
Michael, I thought you were starting to get what music was all about, but with this analysis and opinion, you've completely lost it. "On steriods", you described it. Perfect! S&G could easliy have thrown out belting balls to the wall sound, yelling instead of singing, almost spitting in anger. Just fucking awful! This is never what this song was meant to be. But seemingly the current generation can't/doesn't have the creativity or talent, so they have to do covers with fake emotions, and an ignorant audience screaming at every unneeded high or or low note, as if that were some magic talent on it's own. There are some things in the world that cannot be improved upon. This Dan Vasc, will come and be gone in a few years if that. The music of Simon and Garfunkle has already lasted 50, and obviously shows no signs of going away. The magic of this song came from the artists that wrote it, the music, the melodies, the lyrics, the arrangements, and ultimately the performance. Anything else is simply a forgery, a fake, a copy. If a Dan Vasc and this generation want some recognition in music, talent and creativity, they have to do ALL of it from the beginning. Sorry Michael, many of us had high hopes for you.
Dan has written and produced his own music for his band Fearless. They have one album and apparently are working on their second album. He doesn't just do covers. I believe he has written music for gaming also.
Dan Vasc version of Sound Of Silence is Top One. The best version,IMO.
??? he copied disturbed version of the song to a T, every note and vocal nuance is exactly as david draiman sings it and it's their instrumental track... I'm not sure why people are crediting Dan for this version. Draiman's voice is more natural in this style, Dan is forcing his voice to copy Draiman.
Grew up with S&G. Then Disturbed's version was nominated for a Grammy. And now Dan's beautiful voice makes it the best. He is absolutely phenomenal!
For ME, there is NO better version of this song than Dan's. Period. Thank you VERY much for a wonderful and fun reaction, Michael. 😀
Dan is the best ! His cover with his powerful voice is perfect ! 😊
1. Dan 2. Pentatonix 3. Geoff Castellucci 4. Disturbed. Although each is a masterwork in it's own right.
There are many cover versions of the sound of silence but Dan Vasc is by far the winner.... And the winner of hearts ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dan Vasc is the best singer with crazy vocal range 🔥
My favorite version WAS S&G's, UNTIL I heard this one.
Daniel takes any song he wants and turns it into something better, every time!!

Pretty accurate description
Completely agree with you. His version is the best. To really hear the scope of his skills, listen to Bring Me to Life and his newest, The Number of the Beast. Both of these will blow you away. Thanks for continuing to react to Dan Vasc.
Thanks so much, Michael! I thought you’d enjoy this version!!
Of course!!! Thanks for everything Darlene !!!
Simon & Garfunkel would be proud of Dan Vasc’s rendition of their song. Disturbed was good, but Dan’s is superior. Tune into Vasc. You will be mesmerized and you will be sporting goosebumps.☮️💟
Superior how? David's voice is far more natural and it's very clear that Dan is just trying to copy David's voice. It's disturbed's song and their backing track. There's no way "dan's version" would be superior..
Mesmerizing is a perfect word for Dan. I feel that almost every time I listen to his music. He draws you into the song. Thanks for great reaction!
Dan is always the best❤
Having grown up with Simon & Garfunkle's version, for me, that was always one of their most brilliant songs of all time - then I heard Disturbed's version which brought the song to a whole new level, BUT DAN'S VERSION is by far, for me, the most awesome of this iconic song - I'm probably completely and absolutely biased, but Dan could sing the phone book and it would be amazing!
I totally agree !!😊
I have watched Dan for a few years now. I do not understand how he has not been snapped up and signed! He is phenomenal!
Dan has been offered recording contracts, but they have offered him just 12% of earnings, want five albums in five years and he would just be an employee. He loves being independent and his own boss.
@@TerriTildon-ij4ek Which makes me extremely happy! 😀
@@GrandmasGotGraceLW and they wanted him to use the name Dante. Ugg!
He hasn't been 'snapped up and signed' because he won't be a slave.
Dan is his own man, he wants to be free to do his own thing in his own way, and with a company he would be forced to tour, and he prefers not to.
My versão favorite, Dan is wonderful, our voice King tks ❤
Best version ever!!! You are right - mesmerizing. I have watched it 100 times.
The best Sound of Silence goes to DAN VASC ... always! ❤
Love Dan Vasc. He is so passionate about his singing. Any song is heightened by his vocals. I was brought up on Simon and Garfunkel and believe they do a great job. David Draiman of Disturbed made this song his own and it was epic. IMO Dan did a cover of the Disturbed version and added passion. Loved all the versions.
Thanks. Followed his link below and subscribed after listening to Stairway To Heaven.
Dan Vasc for sure!!❤
Nobody does this song as good as Dan, not even Simone and Garfunkel
My ranking of the Sounds of Silence (IMHO)
Dan Vasc
Simon and Garfunkle
Disturbed
Pentatonix
this makes no sense, this version IS disturbed's version of the song so you'd have to put them first, if we're rating this version of the song. Dan copied David note for note, every vocal nuance is exactly the same, I've listened the David's 100s of times.
Dan is the most Larming of them all. He feels how peoole ignore others as they only pay attention to themselves. He knows!
❤❤❤❤❤
My sentiments exactly MESMERIZING
LOL - Yes he's a killer with all his songs - he is mesmerising to watch and goosebumps every single time - i think this is the best version of this song! he has such a fantastic voice and such versatility - its ridiculous! He could sing road signs and it would sound great !

I vote for Dan! Hands down!!
Absolutely love your reaction. You get it. Dan is phenomenal. Can’t wait for more of your reactions of Dan.
Gave me chills absolutely beautiful voice
Awesome reaction, as always! But dude, I gotta ask. Why the mayo on the back of the couch? LOL
Do you really think that you’re the first one to ask that question over the past couple years? It’s called “sucker bait” and you just bit. 😂
I love how introverted he starts this song - Draiman did a great job with it, but Dan just puts so much more emotion into it.
Dan is amazing
Dan is best !
The first time I heard of Dan Vasc was on your channel, you have some great content, keep up the awesome work, bro!!
Thank You
my first time hearing this artist. great singer, but sounds like he is cramming the song down your throat. i like the smooth, yet powerful, original by simon and garfunkel best.
❤
THE BEST 👌 🎉😮
Love S & G version, but Dan brings it up to date. Beautiful.
Okay whats up with the Hellmann’s behind you? Been watching your reactions to Dan and the mayo always there
💖🤘

Not many singers can do that, and definitely not to the level that this guy can.
he sounds similar to david, david is still better
Sorry not sorry
Call this Dan Vasc covers Disturbed covering Simon & Garfunkel.
Nothing new here. Call it the Etsy Sound of Silence.
Disturbed for me all the way.

WOW!!!
A really bad copy of Disturbed's masterpiece.
I didn’t care for his voice. Too grainy.
