I'm old and was used to the Simon and Garfunkel original, and I never thought it needed any improvement. But David Draiman and Disturbed knocks them out of the park. That voice! Best listened to with headphones at volume. This is what first got me interested in Disturbed and now I'm a fan.
@@JPVNG67I disagree completely. Paul Simon wrote the song as a warning literally after waking from a dream. They sang it in that warning type way. Disturbed sang it in a manner that was scolding people for not listening to the warning. Both were and are appropriate for the time they were preformed.
I don’t think it is an exaggeration to state that his live performance on Conan was almost life-changing for many people. I thought that I would have permanent goose bumps.
You mean, Auto Tune knocked it out of this world. Sad that the showbiz "ruined" that performance, really, because when we hear the live version in Houston with Myles Kennedy, we realise that it was completely unnecessary.
Surprised you had not heard this one yet Lilly. Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel who were the originator's of the song said David Draiman's version of this song was the best he had heard.
Paul Simon never said that.....for like the millionth time. The email he sent to David is literally everywhere on the net and on Disturbed's website. Since you are probably to lazy to go look it up since you believe this anyways, here is what Paul Simon sent David after the show on Conan: "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." That's it....
@@JuanHughJorgan .....OMG...Thank you!!!! Someone that's actually NOT regurgitating some rumor they heard at the pub whilst doing Jäger bombs!!! Paul also started writing this song when he used to practice in the bathroom of his first apartment to get away from roommates, he said the tile gave a nice reverb, he'd turn off the lights, turn the water on to sound like he was using the bathroom and practice. One evening, "hello darkness my old friend" just fell out as he started strumming, and the rest, according to him, was stuff he heard in English Lit. that was full of brooding angst and he hoped it would impress the ladies. But hey, everyone else says Paul could tell the future and predicted all that came afterwards...lol.
@@IAT1964My Dad grew up with the original song. He raised me with the original as well. When I told him Disturbed had done a cover (he knew the band but didn't like how heavy they are), he laughed at the idea that they could even make a cover of that song sound good. It's been almost a decade since I got him to listen to it, and he still hasn't been able to pick a favourite. Neither have I.
I heard the original when I was 20yo in 1965 and loved it then and ever since. Paul McCartney once said that a good cover reveals something new to the listener. Using that as a criteria I think this might just be the greatest cover of all time, only Johnny Cash's Hurt or Elvis's cover of Bridge Over Troubled Waters are in contention.
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary
Go check out "Phantom of the Opera" cover by Nightwish (End of An Era Live 2005) and you'll have another stunning cover... In case you haven't already heard of that rendition. Same goes to : "High Hopes" (Pink Floyd cover) from the same particular live gig...😉 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 💥
People sleep on David as a singer. His range, control, and technique are one of the best in the business. They've also done a cover every album. Land Of Confusion they covered from Genesis is amazing, and Shout 2000 (is a heavy update to Tears For Fears 84' song Shout)
The story I heard is that this is the only cover of one of his songs Paul Simon has linked on his website. Hope this is true, it definitely deserves the shine
When I was young, I liked this song. But this cover, just blew me away. Never had a song give me goose bumps, and spine chills at the same time. The lyrics hit hard.
I saw them in 2019 when the "Evolution" album came out. When they played this song, he sang it THROUGH your soul, I had goosebumps over my entire body and it brought me to tears because he knows how to capture the attention of an audience. David Draiman IS a rock God.....PERIOD !!!!!
You should check out the Nine Inch Nails cover of Hurt that Johnny Cash did. You might want some tissue handy though, just maybe. It's profound and powerful. Similar to Disturbed's S&G cover, it hits harder than the original. I think you'll like it.
David has a beautiful voice when he wants it to be. Disturbed has done several balad type songs, and they're all just beautiful! But I love his hard stuff too! Stupify is still one of my favorites!
Thanks to S & G for writing and recording this classic over 50 years ago, allowing Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret the meaning.......a warning against an increasingly detached, unfeeling, cold society.......maybe more relevant today than in the 1960's
Well only P wrote it, and he did so to sound brooding and full of angst in order to impress the ladies, but he has said that he is quite pleased that people draw such meaning from it to this day.
A band called ‘Bad Wolves’ covered ‘The Cranberries’ “Zombie” a few years ago. It is my absolute favorite cover of any song. Highly recommend listening to it and checking out the video. 🤘
Very good cover I'm on the fence on if it is better than the cranberries. I think if I am pissed then bad wolve is the one but in general cranberries is a better song.
Loved your reaction and take on this. I was in college when Simon and Garfunkel did the song and overlooked it except for the line “the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.” He brings out the message so much more powerfully and it pertains even more now. You reflected that beautifully. Luv ya girlie! 😊
LILLY JANE, THERE IS AN AWESOME LIVE VERSION ON RUclips AT A CONCERT WHERE MYLES KENNEDY JOINS DAVID ON STAGE TO DO THIS SONG!! IT'S EPIC!!! I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE LOOKED FOR IT BEFORE I MADE MY COMMENT BUT IT WAS AT A DISTURBED CONCERT IN HOUSTON TEXAS! SHOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT TO FIND!!
He ran int Paul Simon at a party sometime after this was released. He said he was worried about his reaction to the restyling of one of his classics but Paul loved the way they had re-envisioned it.
This song is about the failure of communication in modern society. "People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening." In other words, people are not making a genuine effort to understand people they disagree with. Instead, they demonize them and dunk on them on social media. Paul Simon truly was prophetic when he wrote those lyrics back in the 1960s.
This song is based on a American officer in word war 2 and the speech he gave to the German people that were next to a " Death camp" for the jews. When it was discovered what had happened there , the people protested that they had nothing to do with it. His response was that by being silent they gave strength to the Nazis,. " Silence like a cancer grows" Bad things grow in strength and power when no one speaks out and it's greatest ally is "The sound of Silence" When he became aware of the speech and wrote this song at such a young age is just simply mind blowing.
Disturbed singer is trained in the classical style and has one of the most powerful voices in the world according to many and in this song you get a glimpse into his massive range. Never write of a heavy metal singer.
3 brilliant sisters Called The Warning wrote a song called XXI century Blood. They were pre-teen and one was a young teen when they wrote this. The Music Video won 4 out of 8 awards. They are showing no one listened to Paul Simon. 3 Sisters from Mexico that are rocking the world right now.
Disturbed covered Land of Confusion by Genesis and it was also brilliant. You should check out some of their other songs too. Stricken is a great one to start with.
Disturbed has a kk ways done banging covers, by both holding true to the spirit of the original songs while at the same time makes the song their own. It's a hard thing to do for many band some do a cover so straight that even if it's good it not remarkable in anyway to stand out over time or they go the the other extreme where it's almost unrecognizable even again if it's good it's feels like a novelty and again kinda gets forgot.
This song debuted in 1964, was a huge hit. No one speaking down from the clouds, the message was & is clear. A different arrangement from original, with David Draiman, a trained vocalist with a powerful interpretation of song.
I’ve had the good fortune to see Disturbed LIVE. Dave Draiman is an OLD SCHOOL rocker! You go to a Disturbed concert you get the Real Thing. No canned music. No autotune. The ONLY time was on the hmm what was it? Letterman show? Where he didn’t have the veto of the autotune,, he was stuck with it against his wishes for an authentic live performance.
This song was written as a warning of a future they saw coming. In this version I think David’s singing is illustrating anger that we let it come to pass despite the warning.
Actually Paul wrote it in his bathroom with the lights off, and the lyrics were just different things he picked up in English Lit class that sounded brooding and full of angst, to impress the ladies, that's the extent of it. ruclips.net/video/Ld4s-RYHmi8/видео.htmlsi=wlXXIUvmacVx3QJP
When I die this is the song that will be playing. This song has always been a favorite of mine from the original to this one. Cause well darkness is my friend.
•DAVID M DRAIMAN is one incredibly talented and sexy man. 💜 Pure lust. 💜 •DISTURBED has brought Music to the 10,000 Silent People just as the song was written. Incredible passionate experience. Thank you Disturbed Ones.
This is a Great cover. My favorite cover of this great song. If you are looking for new Bands to react to, I was going to ask if you know of or have reacted to the Sisters from Mexico ? the Band is called "The Warning". They are a Rock band of Sisters and extremely talented. If you haven't reacted to them, try "Evolve" live at the 2023 VMA awards or "Disciple" live from Teatro Metropolitan.
Good song Mammacita but please do yourself as well as your viewers a break amd listen to the original "Sounds of Silence" by Art and Gunkle of March 10, 1964. And honey let your ears be the judge. Good Evening. Adios.
Thank you, Lilly Jane, I just met you today. I would really love to see your reaction to Pentatonix doing this song. IMO the best one yet. Thanks again.
Too bad youtube blocked the video...or could you see it? I've seen it numerous times. First time I heard it about 4 years ago, I was totally blown away. I was used to the Simon and Garfunkle original.
Grew up with Simon and Garfunkel. Granddaughter led me to Disturbed, and then I found Geoff Castellucci and he did a cover of this. Geoffs' cover won't be blocked as he is independent and does everything himself. I absolutely love the original and both covers.
Masterpiece songs Alter Bridge - Blackbird Live at Amsterdam Queenryche - Silent Lucidity Lovebites - Frozen Serenade 2021 Live in Tokyo with lyrics Testament - Return to Serenity (lyrics video) 6:32 min Triumph - Fight the Good Fight Live at 1983 US Festival
I 100% agree with Queensryche-Silent Lucidity. That song is epic and I do not think anyone will ever do it better than the original! Excellent callout.
Personally, I think the live version Disturbed did on Conan is better. David D's voice is incredible. Another song you should check out is Chris Cornell - Hunger Strike as a "studio jam" It is a song where he originally split vocals with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) This one is almost like a live version sort of but it is his raw voice and it is ridiculous. Or Cornell's "live" acoustic of Black Hole Sun blew me away.
Two other dope ass covers that transcend the originals are Seether's Careless Whisper and Shine Down (believe it or not) doing Simple Man. Rock on, lil lady! 🤘
Fun fact. When David and disturbed covered this song, I want to say it was on Conan. The difference between that time and the music video aside from it being live was David was very sick when he sang this on Conan. As for what song I think is a masterpiece or close to being a masterpiece. Other than this, it would have to be The Light by Disturbed.
Disturbed’s cover is a masterpiece, this video also portrays the meaning of the lyrics, Simon & Garfunkel version was a warning and Disturbed’s version is we better get our act together
Just found your channel. You asked about standout performances. Heart does a tribute to Led Zepplin at the Kennedy Center Honors of Stair Way to Heaven. It Brought Robert Palmer to tears who was in the audience. The drummer in this performance is Jason Bonham the son of John Bonham. The bands drummer that passed away. He's also wearing his dad's hat.
Best version of this song I’ve ever heard by far. I like it even better than the original. It brings me to tears just about every time and I’m not one to cry about anything ever. It’s amazing.
Great reaction Lilly. You asked for recommendations, may I suggest either Care, This Strange Engine or The Great Escape by the band dubbed 'Britain's Best Kept Secret', the incredible Marillion. Go for the live versions where possible because this band is amazing on stage
"Heavy Metal Singers CAN'T ACTUALLY SING", they said!!! David Draiman of Disturbed: "Here, hold my OH-WAH-AH-AH-AH!!!"
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue.
oh i know!! he had "behavioral" issues.... like lighting a car on fire...@@jacobrohwein3944
No one said that lol.

Same. And I totally agree!
the original is the original , it has no comparison. This brilliant cover is in another tone and just adds how great is the original song.
I just turned 61 and know exactly what you're saying. I can honestly say that I have never really listened to the words until this came out.
@@JPVNG67I disagree completely. Paul Simon wrote the song as a warning literally after waking from a dream. They sang it in that warning type way.
Disturbed sang it in a manner that was scolding people for not listening to the warning. Both were and are appropriate for the time they were preformed.
nothing that i wrote is against what u said, yet its only your opinion like i have mine.@@WatchingFromWork6636
When he sang this live on the Conan show, he was actually sick and still knocked it out of this world. Absolutely worth your time.
My wife and I heard them perform this song live August 1 in Alpharetta, Georgia, and it was absolutely flawless note for note😳🔥
I think the version he sang on Conan was better and had better background music.
I don’t think it is an exaggeration to state that his live performance on Conan was almost life-changing for many people. I thought that I would have permanent goose bumps.
You mean, Auto Tune knocked it out of this world. Sad that the showbiz "ruined" that performance, really, because when we hear the live version in Houston with Myles Kennedy, we realise that it was completely unnecessary.
No he wasn't
It's been said, that Simon & Garfunkel's version was the warning and Disturbed's is the reality. Pretty accurate.
Yes the original was the warning and this version is the result and the truth the best sound is the sound of silence
The lament
i see it more the original was the warning and this version is the anger that said warning was ignored.
The people who said that were wrong!
@@tntlassiter were they?

Kinda gives ya hills don't it?
@JuanHughJorgan nope they actually stated in an earlier interview the song is what he wanted his original to be like .
You're welcome
Disturbed lifted that song to a whole new level.
Never did a cover overwhelm me - this one did big time.
This version is FAAARRR better than the original.
Check out Hurt by Johnny Cash 😢

As a fan of Simon and Garfunkel, Sound of Silence is one of the greatest songs ever written. David Draiman's version is the best I have ever heard.
Simon and Garfunkle made it too upbeat, Davis Dariman does it in such a way you can feel the dark and macabre atmosphere of the lyrics of the song
Totally agree!
In his younger years, Draiman was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary
But Synagogue was where he first found his voice and talent for singing. ❤🙏😇
A cantor, that's super cool, does sound like some kind of wizard though XD
God had a different calling for him.
This fact is what made the comparison of a "godlike" voice hit me. He was trained to sing "God's Word."
Damn... That's a fully Metal story 😂🤘🏻
This IMO is one of the best covers I have ever heard. The striped down musical. Davids voice is just, haunting and powerful.
Go check out "Phantom of the Opera" cover by Nightwish (End of An Era Live 2005) and you'll have another stunning cover...
In case you haven't already heard of that rendition.
Same goes to :
"High Hopes" (Pink Floyd cover) from the same particular live gig...😉
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 💥
🤩👍💥💯 🎶
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
This and Johnny cash’s rendition of Hurt are by far my two favorite covers ever made
facts
True dat
Damn straight
Totally agree
Trent resnor from nine inch nails who wrote and performed hurt said it now belongs to Johnny Cash after hearing his cover
His version is absolutely‘BEAUTIFUL’!
this is one of the few remakes made better,
This, and cashes hurt
Phenomenal cover, he said in an interview the first time he heard it after singing it, he cried.
I think it is better then the original
The resonance on that lead voice is INSANE. I will never get tired of it.
This is one of the best versions of This beautiful classic I ever heard brilliant 🤩
People sleep on David as a singer. His range, control, and technique are one of the best in the business. They've also done a cover every album. Land Of Confusion they covered from Genesis is amazing, and Shout 2000 (is a heavy update to Tears For Fears 84' song Shout)
You sure
He is classically trained and an incredible singer. This was everyone's shock when they released this song
He’s a classically trained Jewish Cantor, as his father and grandfather before him.
I have listened to this song/music video hundreds of times and it gives me CHILLS EVERY FREAKIN TIME!!!
IKR!!! Every single time!!!!!
The story I heard is that this is the only cover of one of his songs Paul Simon has linked on his website. Hope this is true, it definitely deserves the shine
The live version he did on Conan was pretty epic too.
He sang that on Conan while sick as hell as well.
Few things can make me tear up let alone tears streaming! This guy continues to blow my mind!!! You the man Dave..
Another great cover you should check out is Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
When I was young, I liked this song. But this cover, just blew me away. Never had a song give me goose bumps, and spine chills at the same time. The lyrics hit hard.
I saw them in 2019 when the "Evolution" album came out. When they played this song, he sang it THROUGH your soul, I had goosebumps over my entire body and it brought me to tears because he knows how to capture the attention of an audience. David Draiman IS a rock God.....PERIOD !!!!!
This is definitely the most incredible voicals I really have heard him sing. He really put his heart and soul into this.
The Official music video and the story it tells is a masterpiece in and of itself! 🙏🙏
Great reaction, song and performance!❤️ Live version from Conan is great too.
Yes, wonderful
You should check out the Nine Inch Nails cover of Hurt that Johnny Cash did. You might want some tissue handy though, just maybe. It's profound and powerful. Similar to Disturbed's S&G cover, it hits harder than the original. I think you'll like it.
David has a beautiful voice when he wants it to be. Disturbed has done several balad type songs, and they're all just beautiful! But I love his hard stuff too! Stupify is still one of my favorites!
One of my favourite song's and on my playlist ❤️ he sing it so beautifully. Perfect performance
Thanks to S & G for writing and recording this classic over 50 years ago, allowing Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret the meaning.......a warning against an increasingly detached, unfeeling, cold society.......maybe more relevant today than in the 1960's
Well only P wrote it, and he did so to sound brooding and full of angst in order to impress the ladies, but he has said that he is quite pleased that people draw such meaning from it to this day.
One of several masterpices by Dimash Kudaibergen is SOS d'un terrien en détresse, a song out of a French rock opera.
A lot of metal screamers are amazing singers. It's always a treat when they choose to sing.
Howard Jones is the perfect example of this. Incredible screamer, but his voice is so incredibly soulful when he sings.
A band called ‘Bad Wolves’ covered ‘The Cranberries’ “Zombie” a few years ago. It is my absolute favorite cover of any song. Highly recommend listening to it and checking out the video. 🤘
That cover isn't bad but the cranberries are still better.
Very good cover I'm on the fence on if it is better than the cranberries.
I think if I am pissed then bad wolve is the one but in general cranberries is a better song.
This is an epic cover. His voice with the instrumentation is so perfect, & always brings a tear to my eye.

Even better than the original; getting louder and louder................
I love all genres of music but my all time favorite is Disturbed. David is simply amazing
Rare that a cover of an iconic song by iconic artists is anywhere close to good or better. This one does it justice.
Disturbed does a fantastic cover of Genesis' The Land of Confusion. Worth checking out!
SIMON AND GARFUKLEL ARE THE ORIGINALS FOR THIS SONG BUT DISTURBED IS MORE GRAPHICAL AND A GREAT REMAKE!!!
One of the best covers ever, IMO. Another of my favorite covers is Shinedown doing the song Simple Man.
Disturbed singer is trained in the classical style and has one of the most powerful voices in the world according to many and in this song you get a glimpse into his massive range. Never write of a heavy metal singer.
He didn't just sing it he made you feel the words in the song.

This definitely is a masterpiece. It actually penetrates your very soul.

This is a Great cover. My favorite cover of this great song. If you are looking for new Bands to react to, I was going to ask if you know of or have reacted to the Sisters from Mexico ? the Band is called "The Warning". They are a Rock band of Sisters and extremely talented. If you haven't reacted to them, try "Evolve" live at the 2023 VMA awards or "Disciple" live from Teatro Metropolitan.
The Conan O'Brien live version is also epic. Even though they auto-tuned him and David was livid when he found out.
Completely unnecessary as well. He sang it the way he did for a reason, with purpose.
Good song Mammacita but please do yourself as well as your viewers a break amd listen to the original "Sounds of Silence" by Art and Gunkle of March 10, 1964. And honey let your ears be the judge. Good Evening. Adios.

Thank you, Lilly Jane, I just met you today. I would really love to see your reaction to Pentatonix doing this song. IMO the best one yet. Thanks again.

How is that a "fun" fact?
@@jedislap8726 it's just an expression.
React to the live version from Conan! It's actually better!
Disturbed’s cover is a masterpiece, this video also portrays the meaning of the lyrics, Simon & Garfunkel version was a warning and Disturbed’s version is we better get our act together
This palcony of generations...
Good one.
not bad for a 50+ year old song. its a tear jerker.
it will be 60 next year
you should watch their cover of Land Of Confusion by Genesis,it is good but this cover of Sound Of Silence is the best you will ever hear.
The emotion on your face was great. A powerful song!
I this doesn’t give you chills, someone needs to check for a pulse.
Just found your channel. You asked about standout performances. Heart does a tribute to Led Zepplin at the Kennedy Center Honors of Stair Way to Heaven. It Brought Robert Palmer to tears who was in the audience. The drummer in this performance is Jason Bonham the son of John Bonham. The bands drummer that passed away. He's also wearing his dad's hat.
Her facial expressions look as if she is suffering from constipation.
This version is a clear journey through the stages of grief, to me.
Best version of this song I’ve ever heard by far. I like it even better than the original. It brings me to tears just about every time and I’m not one to cry about anything ever. It’s amazing.
A Simon & Garfunkel cover, both of them liked this version. They probably couldn’t have sold this version in 1964
The Hollies , "The Air That I breath" . Beautiful Love Song .... one hit wonder :)
Dead sara whispers and ashes is phenomenal
I hear you commenting on the lyrics. Paul Simon is the guy you should celebrate,
"Undomesticated animal" im dead
....undomesticated animal geees i'm daynig
Great reaction Lilly.
You asked for recommendations, may I suggest either Care, This Strange Engine or The Great Escape by the band dubbed 'Britain's Best Kept Secret', the incredible Marillion. Go for the live versions where possible because this band is amazing on stage
Something to remind you by stained would be a good one for you to react too.
Henk Poort did a version of this too. On “Beste Zangers”. Great stuff. Floor is there.
Yesss maybe even a beter version of this song
