I love that Eminem always implements rock in his music and this is in part of the song darkness.
Simon and Garfunkel warned us with this song, Disturbed is telling us that warning was no heeded.
and from what i've read, this is Paul Simon's favorite cover of his song.
He has said the song is now Disturb's.
Yeh I saw that posted a few years ago too
Ok grandpa go to bed
This is my favourite Disturbed song, and my favourite ORIGINAL Disturbed song is the perfect follow-up to this:
Another Way To Die
I'm 75 years old, and i remember the original. This version gives me goose bumps. I absolutely love it!
Me too this version sends chills up and down my body
My Dad is 76 and I played this version for him (he's not online). He loved it. He said they did Simon & Garfunkel proud.
I'm 71 and totally agree!!! Makes me look around though at all the people on their phones and nobody talks to each other! Makes it a little prophetic ... which I guess it was meant to be anyway!
@@Anne.Pinkerton that's awesome I'm glad your able to enjoy this music
And Paul Simon agrees with you.
Paul Simon wrote these iconic lyrics and he and Art Garfunkel released it in 1964. It was meant as a protest against society’s disconnect from human interaction in favor of technology. The message holds even more true today in my opinion. We ‘talk’ without speaking…I.e. text; we hear without listening…we don’t converse, we simply jabber at each other without pausing to understand. The lyrics are pure, timeless poetry. Disturbed stepped completely outside their comfort zone and gave us a raw, emotional interpretation of a classic. The frustration, anger, sadness, and eventual hope (represented by the boat crossing the gulf and the sunrise) that people can reconnect and rebuild. If the original was a warning, Disturbed has handed us a wake up call. This will always be one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite groups.
People don't discuss or listen or understand any more - they just wait to speak.
It was about a bit more than that but Ok try thinking a bit deeper…..and no it was not about some tech issue good grief
@@6Haunted-Days it actually was on some level. It was harking to the fact that television was taking over the American home dynamic. This was because tv screens emitted the same sort of glow as neon signs (the neon God THEY made), plus, at that time in US culture, neon signs were on the rise for advertising and consumer culture and were everywhere.
The opening line, "Hello darkness, my old friend," came from Simon's time as a boy when he would sing in the bathroom with the lights out.
Paul Simon has also said about the original that it means what it means to you, and, that all interpretations of the song are deeply personal to the interpreter.

@@benballard-ho7tuso true
Nobody has ever done a better cover than Disturbed did with this song. Even Paul Simon told David,it was his song now.
Not true .. check out Dan Vasq .. 2 songs really , Amazing Grace like you've never heard it before , also SWEET Child O MINE .. maybe better than AXLE ROSE
Idk, man. It's amazing, but not "All along the watchtower" or "Hurt" level. To each their own ofc.
@@thanossnap4170 all along the Watchtower by who?
@@MrFchank Hendrix
😂😂😂sorry but Simon & Garfunkel’s version is still the best!!!
The original version of this song was "THE WARNING"...This version is the "ANGER" for not listening to the warning.
Truth
I've never heard this described quite so poignantly accurate.. This should be top comment for sure..
My spirit guides are screaming at me that if we lose our Democracy we will lose our freedom to listen to the music of our choice!
The best cover Ive ever heard. They nailed this song, YOU CAN FEEL THIS SONG!
This one is great, but the BEST cover is Johnny Cash, covering Nine Inch Nails, Hurt.
David is a trained cantor and comes from a long line of cantors. He and his band mates are all good guys.
David doesn’t have tattoos out of respect to his grandfather and his heritage. He also removes all his piercings when he visits. Mad respect!
the range you need to become a good cantor is widely underestimated. they are the superstars of voice control, considering that their singing is supposed to elevate prayers to a calling-singing to the soles of their fellow prayers. each cantor in Israel is a superb singer, whose voice is just on another level
I have seen it said that David Draiman was asked, "Do you want the voice of an angel or that of a demon?", and he answered, "Yes".
The original was a warning, This cover is an admonishment.
Couldn't have said it better
It's almost operatic. It sends chills down your spine. This man could have been an opera singer too
Absolutely!
The version on the Late show is also insanely good, especially looking at how professional David, the main singer was sick or recovering from being sick, I think they offered to reschedule the performance, but he didn't want to disappoint all the people who came to see the show the that day
i've heard the show put autotunes on the vocals, and david was pretty upset about that, if you watch his face at the very beginning, you can see the moment he realizes it.
Yes you can tell it's autotuned. It makes it worse because he doesn't need it.@@twistedpixel756
I still prefer the live version. The instruments were harder.
@@twistedpixel756David Draimen was also nursing a massive cold in that performance, and yes, the sound crew auto tuned him without his permission. They seriously underestimated his voice and what he could do with it, even though he was seriously ill at the time. It was a real professional slap in the face for David. I'm surprised he didn't rip them to pieces straight afterwards.
@@benballard-ho7tu I'm pretty sure they only used auto tune on a single note, but even that was absolutely unnecessary.
You can’t hear this without emotion just taking you over. When my daughter was 9, she would walk around the house singing this at the top of her lungs. I looked at my man and said we did that. You and me. We keep it real around our house and the kids have been brought up on everything from blues to metal and everything in between. Makes a rocker Mom proud! ❤
Thank you for not pausing it every ten seconds. It definitely pulls you out of the whole experience.
There's just something about David's voice that I can listen to him forever.
This song is some 60 years old and still its message is relevant... Do we ever learn? I have loved this song for over 50 years, and this version is what I have been waiting for!
It’s 60 years old this year. Paul Simon wrote this in 1964.
One of the VERY best songs ever written... Says soooo much. Brings tears to me. What a world we live in TODAY.
His performance on Conan is insane especially since he had the flu and still crushed it live!
And as has been reported, the Conan producers used auto tune in the performance. Interestingly enough this studio recording does not. Sorry but this version is by far the best.
@@jimbatten1927 They Try to use Auto Tune at Rehurcial And David got Pissed. He will not use Auto Tune EVER.
He had a lesion on his left vocal cord. He confirmed that in an interview I watched recently. And he still killed it!
This amplifies the warning Simon and Garfunkel gave, by a factor of ten. Straight up
This song pulls out so much emotion. I'm so glad you didn't pause it. I could see the emotion on your faces. It is one that never fails to touch, no matter how many times you see and hear it. I think I probably watched over and over maybe 10 times the first play.
I believe Paul Simon has said the song now belongs to Disturbed.
Y'all be safe and have a wonderful Christmas!!
Paul Simon wrote the song in 1964, “Simon & Garfunkel” In an interview Paul Simon explained that the song was inspired by his own feelings of alienation and the inability of people to communicate with each other. He wrote the song in his bathroom while living in England
This song was written in 1963 and was a warning was that we have lost the ability to effectively communicate, when Disturbed covered it in 2016 that warning was as potent then as it is now. Paul Simon was reported to have stated that Disturbed "Have made Sounds of silence their own', as you guys said. On the live version, David Draiman the lead singer was as sick as a dog and that is why he sang seated. He had to be helped off the stage in the end, his illness gave the song an added dimension. I still dont know which version is my favorite.
I don't think I've ever listened to this song, without getting chills, it just hits.
This song is what started me on the reaction roller coaster. It is so great seeing my favorite reactors doing it. I would love to see more Disturbed and would love Linkin Park too.
Me too. First heard it watching a guy on Twitch. Came to YT, saw it about 12 times in a row then started on the reactions.
Me too! I didn't know this community existed until started to explore this piece!!!
It's an addiction watching reations to this, I think it's because we can never see it the first time again ourselves so we want to see others react.
The awe that was in y'alls eyes, is exactly how I felt. I am only 46 but I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and so many classics. This cover gave the feel of our time, on a timeless classic.
Awesome reaction. lol two guys just mesmerized thats a hella good recommendation. The original was a warning. This version is the anger that comes when we didn't heed the warning.
My employee walked up stairs on a Friday in the office and said “you gotta hear this”. We listen to hard core music at work! He was on a Disturbed fan page, and they pre-released it. Was completely blown away - I’m old enough to have lived the original. Got home that night and tried to play it for the family, but it did not exist online - showed up the next day!
I've been a fan of disturbed from day 1, n in my opinion this is the greatest cover of any song, by any band ever. His voice is like caramel for the ears
I just saw Disturbed for the 2nd time this past January 19th, 2024...I cried with happy tears when they brought out the piano, n the chairs for the cello n violin...Damn it was amazing to watch Disturbed do this live...😊O n he was sick with a sinus infection that night...Paul Simon absolutely loved Disturbed's version n gave his blessing😊
This song makes me weep. The song and lyrics. The musicality of it and his voice. My god his voice. I've also never seen the video and it's a production worthy of this song. The lighting on his face even his piercings. All this comes to together and it's perfect, it's tragically perfect. This is song about isolation. A human being in a world full of fakeness not able to trust or truly be authentic himself because he feels nobody will truly care.
I'm not a Disturbed fan. Know none of their songs. But . . . for some reason I've now heard this song 3 times this week and each time it draws me in more. Phenomenal!
First time i heard this version i put my car on the side of the road. It was on loud. It overwhelmed me. I can surely say this has to be one of my favorite records. And I loved the original. So it makes me happy the original arist actually endorsed this song ❤
First time I heard this I thought this is the way this song should be sung. My grandmother loved Simon and Garfunkel, and played this song and Bridge Over Troubled Water regularly. I could feel my granny's presence while listening to it. Still hard to hear without crying 😢.
Singer David Draemon was classically trained and has an awesome voice. He did this song serious justice. The tribute to the times and words, its a song for the 60s and theb2020s dudes. Its amazing. Simon and Garfunkle were prophets of the Lord. Amen David. Thank you we needed this.
I’ve always loved this song, so wasn’t holding out hope that I would like it, have to admit I absolutely love this version, this is the one I listen to now, great reaction
The original Simon & G, version was a prophetic warning.
Disturbs version, is the Anger of the Warning not being Heeded.
I have seen this or a similar comment posted, and it must be posted by someone again... I don't know who the author of this quote was.
Well said. I’m 71 and been a fan of Simon & Garfunkel forever. This version of Sounds of Silence takes it to another level.
This song is so powerful. David's vocals are absolutely stunning. The live version on Conan is also worth checking out. Enjoyed this ❤❤
First time ever (that I know), that no one of you said something during the whole video or stoped it to say something. This version is just absolutly AMAZING!!!!!
I only have one thing to say. Dave Draiman's voice is ICONIC. This was beautiful to see your reaction to. Sound of Silence is one of my all time favorite songs, EVER. And the video just smashes it. But will agree that you should also check out Disturbed Live. That power Dave has comes across even better in person but even watching a Live concert video you can still get the same feeling.
Chester had a triple layered voice which gave him 'the extra note' i agree that david draimen possibly has the same tools that chester had, great video guys!
At 72 yrs old, I grew up on this music and am excited about young people "discovering" it. An iconic era for genres across the board. Dan Vasc also does a cover of this song. Haunting is the word I would use for the original as well as these others.
I grew up with the Simon and Garfunkel version... actually have all their albums, given to me by my daddy a few years before his passing in 2018. I have quite the collection of albums from the 60's and 70's actually. I am almost 58, always loved this song. Then, one day, my youngest son (27 at the time) introduced me to THIS!!! It brought tears to my eyes and still does, chilling!!! Great reaction!!
Disturbed is his favorite band
the best way to describe the two versions of this song is the Simon and Garfunkel version was a warning . the disturbed version was the anger that you did not listen
Exactly! Love both versions, but this one is sooo intense! Chills!!!
I’ve heard many many covers and the original but I think this is the most beautiful and impactful version!
This song both gives me chills and makes me want to cry every time I hear it.
For over 40 years, Simon & Garfunkle's "The Sound of Silence" was a favorite. And then Disturbed took ownership of the song. I still love Simon & Garfunkle, but this is now my favorite version.
At the end of the song you see people in a boat and people on the shore. It’s represents the divide between the musicians and writers. Great video!
I see it more as mans disconnect to man. The division we have nowadays. And the musicians crossing the chasm to come together with the writers.
Im 68 years old. I had this on a 45 single record. I ysed to play it over and over again till mr neighbors asked me to turn it down..
This version is amazing. 2 completely different versions. Loved them both ❤️
Loved the reaction! David was actually trained as a classical Cantor (someone who sings in a synagogue) Please do a reaction to the live version. It's hauntingly beautiful. He sings with a full orchestra. It gives you a completely different vibe.
BRO, David Draiman was classically trained as a Jewish cantor. His ability to interpret many styles of music is clearly evident here.
Simon and Garfunkel have said of hearing David's version of their song, something to the effect, "It's now David Draiman's song!"
I really like it when your two Channels sort of merge periodically; I do love most kinds of music, and both your Channels are batting 100%!
THANK YOU!
A child of the 60’s I still catch myself singing this song. Then my mine was blown seeing the video of Disturbed sing my fav. Mind blown 🤯. Couldn’t get enough of. Love the original and this one. Basically a song about people not interacting with each other.
I get chills every time I hear this song ❤❤❤❤
A Reason to Fight is another great ballad of theirs- it hits deep emotionally. The lead singer, David Draiman, is a huge advocate for mental health- something that just isn’t talked about enough. The song brings me to tears every time I hear it. ❤️😢
When you do listen to the original song (and you will), the version live in central park NY is pretty damn special. It was a reunion for them. A free concert attended by maybe 100K people.
It was also the last concert they did as Simon & Garfunkel. I remember watching it live. Great show !!!!
Thank you for introducing me to such a very cool version of a classic..👍👍👍 I grew up with the original by S & G. I closed my eyes and just listened to this, and I really like it. Never heard of Disturbed before. I prefer "old-school" music before the mid 1990's. This version has a forceful power to it, and the lyrics mean something very different today. I'm going to check out more of this group.
You too, should now go back and listen to the live version on the late night show, it was such a phenomenal life performance breathtaking. Worth the watch.
In an interview David said he usually takes about 45 minutes in the booth to get a song recorded. For this song he spent 3 hours making sure he gave the performance and the respect this song deserves.
What an excellent descriptive comparison of this version with the original. Very well thought out and perfectly stated.
When Disturbed was touring with Alter Bridge, David Draiman (Disturbed) and Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) performed The Sound of Silence as a duet. It is amazing.
Thank you both for not stopping or talking over and just listening to his Amazing vocals i only discovered Disturbed last year thanks to my son .. ive listened to many of there songs old and new .. i love there version of
Tears for fears Shout .
But there take on .. sound of silence.. this song now belongs to them as a band but also David Draiman as a singer 😊😊😊❤
David's voice is amazing. I could listen to him read the phone book. I recently saw them in concert and this song gave me goose bumps. He had given a tribute fallen colleagues right before they preformed it. It was so touching.
You absolutely have to do Disturbed, Hold onto the Memories. You will not be disappointed. It is one of the most powerful songs you'll ever listen to. Disturbed has transformed into a band that will make you feel a song, not just hear it. You really should watch more of there stuff!
What a great reaction. You knew to not pause it. The journey that everyone was taking did not need to be interrupted. Thank you. You have a new follower.
The live version on Conan was absolutely stunning.. He was really sick and had a 102' fever when he performed and still killed it.. Check it out
I can't find the letters on my keyboard large enough or description enough to show or express how I feel. Wow, wow, wow!
His voice is hauntingly beautiful. I played this at my father’s funeral ❤
I just saw Disturbed on February 15, 2024 and it was perfect. David's voice is awesome!
Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like a rollercoaster ride, slowly brings you to the top, then crashing to the bottom.....Great reaction guys!!
I was hoping for a comment on the video itself. Oh, well. Glad to know we have some Disturbed fans here. Definitely watch the Conan appearance, it's great. Another live version is when David Draiman (Paul Simon) brings on Myles Kennedy (Art Garfunkel) and they sing harmony. Powerful. If Myles is not on your radar he should be. This duet would be a good segue. 🤘 Great reaction, guys. Looking forward to more Disturbed between the two of you.
yeah this !! Miles and David
WOW- you introduced me to something new to me. I am used to the Simon and Garfunkel version, I have sang it in productions, but damn this was a message for real. Thank you both, and Bless you for playing it in total
Simon & Garfunkles original is like the before.... Disturb's version is the after. David is a trained cantor. His voice is absolutely amazing. The journey of this song is WOW!
It leaves you stunned, speechless and motionless after it stops.
Allot of people dont know that David was classically vocally trained. His control, and vibrato are absofuqinlootly amazeballs. I have seen them twice live, once when they were just starting out at OzzFest. That was pre 2000 and their debut album the Sickness! I saw them on the side stage and told my sister that they were going to be amazing! Saw them this summer with Breaking Benjamin and Jinjer....what an amazing concert that was!
Only twice I've seen them live 17 times and will go again next time they are near me
Nice, that's me and Ozzy!! He used to do a thing called Ozzfest at a local outdoor venue and it was amazing. Would be him either with or without the OG members Black Sabbath and like 15 to 20 other bands! We went every year from 97 to 2008 when Ozzy stopped touring. Go look up that lineup, man I got to see SOOO many bands, many before they hit it big! @@juliehackett1025
David’s parents Jewish parents sent him to orthodox schools for him to train to become a Rabbi. Although he doesn’t practice his faith, he is a trained Cantor. He is a well trained vocalist and knows how to protect his voice. When Disturbed was on that late night show, David was sick with a fever so he wasn’t 100% so it’s a good thing that y’all watched the video from Disturbed.
He said in an interview that he had a lesion on his left vocal cord during that performance. So imagine that when watching it again. Perfect!
You really need to do the Conan Live Version. This is awesome but the Conan performance was MIND SHATTERING
I grew listening to Paul Simon and remember the song but DISTURBED made me feel it.❤
I LOVE THE ORIGINAL WITH SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, DISTURB DOES HIS VERISON IT'S JUST AS BEAUTIFUL, ❤❤❤, I LOVE HIS PASSION.
I saw it live on Conan and it was fantastic. When I found out he was sick and had a high fever, but did that live performance, WOWZERS!
The words were written to be sung by disturbed he alone delivers them 💯 the greatest version.
For Conan O'Brien late night The singer David draiman was said to have the flu and was pretty ill but So was his performance ...Off the chart. Paul Simon said this may be the best remake of a song he has ever heard
This is POWERFUL! He brought the song to life. Bringing music back to the people.
Paul Simon told David Draimon that this song is now his because he covered it superbly and brought its meaning forward into today
The late night show live version is incredible. I prefer reactions to a music videos when available. But there's a few exceptions where the live version is as good or better this being one of them along with *(Freebird)* by *Lynyrd Skynyrd*
🦋 Came across black Pegasus, which led me to Anthony Ray which I haven’t seen in a very long minute. Nice to see you looking well and doing well. It appears with your show. Sending love and blessings to your family and to you. You are definitely someone that stayed with it, all my best.
Awesome guys! I guess after the live performance the he did on SNL, I think, Paul Simon actually tweeted his admiration for his effort...really cool...(OK, it was Conan and the message was on Facebook)“In case you missed it, Disturbed did a wonderful rendition of The Sound of Silence on Conan this week. The S&G cover also appears on Disturbed’s latest album, Immortalized.”
The sound you’re talking about with him and Chester is synonymous with this genre, then breaking Benjamin Chevelle, that genre used a vocal fry.. it’s not a “scream” that you hear in metal per se, they can do that too, but that sound of grit when still singing clean notes is vocal frying and it’s really hard to do and sound good but they do it really well.. two of the best that you named!!
Anthony's stank face kicked in...luv it!
Chilling !!!! So well done!! Excellent reaction..... this rendition is life changing!❤
I'm 64, that song is hauntingly A masterpiece
I'm still listening to rock.
Glad you are seeing it. His voice is magic
Peace🌎✨️
Love Disturbed... hold on to the memories... one of my favorites ❤️... love this version..
I know it's probably too late to do by Christmas, but I'd love to see you guys react to Christmas Truce by Sabaton. It is about the truce at Christmastime in 1914 between the British and German soldiers. The video is fantastic.
Garth Brooks has a song about it as well, called Belleau Wood, beautiful vocals.
@@twistedpixel756 I didn't know that. I'll check it out.
Before David Draiman became the singer for Disturbed, he trained to be a cantor.
FYI he was sick when they performed this on Conan back in 2016.
Disturbed is Awesome, David's Vocals are One of a Kind & the way they did this song ALWAYS gives me Goosebumps !!!!!
so glad you're reacting to this i been listening and watching this for ages this guy is insane
This rendition of all time classic, is so epic and powerful song.
I love this song when Simon and Garfunkel sang it, but David did this song justice. I love this version the best because of the power behind his vocals. He brought the meaning out, he emphasized with great care the meaning. Every time I hear David sing The Sound of Silence, it makes my hair raise. Fantastic version for sure. Your reaction showed us all that you understood the Sound of Silence.
Goosebumps every time!!❤❤❤
Beautiful reaction, AR. I agree with everything you said. Except for the part about the song being really, REALLY OLD because the original came out the year I was born. 😂❤
At a concert in Texas, Disturbed brought Myles Kennedy 🥰 on to sing harmony like the original with S&G. That live performance is well worth a reaction as well. ❤🤘🏼🤘🏼🫶🏻
I love how hauntingly he sings this song. Gives me chills everytime.
