Yes! And oh my gods them in concert, at least in the early 2000’s, f-ing BRILLIANT! Thank the gods I’m tall for a girl or I’d have been trampled but ***worth it*** Also, David is a trained cantor so his range & breath control are almost perfection.
Now listen to the live version on Conan O’Brien. The singer had the flu and still blew out of the box. It’s probably the greatest televised live performance of a song in television history.
I'm just discovering this version of the song today. I've listened to it about 50 times in a row. I said the same thing to myself before I saw your comment. Greatest performance of any song, ever.
Written by Paul Simon in 1964. Originally performed by Simon and Garfunkel. “One of the biggest hang-ups we have today is the inability of people to communicate, not only on an intellectual level, but on an emotional level as well. So you have people unable to touch other people, unable to love other people. This is a song about the inability to communicate. It’s called, “The Sound of Silence”. - Paul Simon 1966 You can see/hear him say this before they begin their performance here: ruclips.net/video/DczvzKzNLbU/видео.html
One of the most powerful and unfortunately accurate songs ever written. The more time passes, the more technologically advanced we become, the more emotionally detached we & more terrifyingly accurate the song, becomes.
Yes. Absolutely 💯! I have loved the Simon and Garfunkel original and even Paul Simon said David Dramen did it better because it is extremely powerful. I love this!
Great reaction guys! I've always liked the original from Simon and Garfunkle. However, I never actually paid attention to the lyrics. This cover forces the listener to hear the lyrics. Such a powerful delivery!
David Draiman is the singer here. He got a call from Paul Simon after they performed this on CONAN. Draiman was (understandably) stunned. Simon said it was the best rendition of his song (that’s rightly is referred to a MASTERPIECE!) he’d ever heard!
I discovered this band through this video almost 3 years ago and became a huge fan! They are a heavy metal band and have been extremely popular since David Draiman joined the band in 1995. That special quality you hear in Draiman’s voice is from his early days as Jewish Cantor, as his grandfather and father before. His metal vocals are very unique to the genre. Nothing like Pantera or Metallica. They do some fantastic covers as well as their own original metal and non metal songs. I loved Simon and Garfunkel! I still have the original vinyl that I bought in 1964 at the age of 15. Oh, and Paul Simon who wrote the song contacted the band and congratulated them in now owning the song.
i am really sorry to write this, but have you been living under a rock ? i mean that even if you are not in to metal or rock, you should have heard about disturbed !!! but it is great that you discovered them ! they have a lot of good songs !
So many morons who don't understand that younger people weren't around when 60s music was popular. How many 60 year olds are familiar with popular music from the 1930s?
I couldn't take my eyes off him when hearing it. I was frozen in place. Then when he belted out, I started crying. I felt every word he said. It's so powerful. Wow!!!
This Simon & Garfunkel song has been on my top ten song list since the early 70's. I loved the original but I bow down to the brilliance of David Draiman's vocals and Disturbed's cover on this much loved S&G song. Disturbed's cover is now on my top five list. You really should listen to the original too. Love this live performance almost 40 years after the original was released. It is as beautiful as the original. Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence - Live, 2003
You have to listen to his live on Conan w/orchestra a Total WOW VERSION! He was sick w/flu and still showed up to perform this masterpiece of another Artist with such Grace and Justice!
i wish you would have done the live performance on Conan O'Brian show. From now on you should always look for all options available and when possible choose the live one because I find them to be the most memorable.
Thank you for having the respect to not halt this powerful video without stoppong. I grew up listening to the original songwriters, Simon and Garfunkels version. It's very different and beautiful. Disturbed is on a whole nother level. Paul Simon was impressed. David Draimon's singing on this is so moving. He trained as a Jewish cantor for years before something happened that drove him away for his faith. His life story is something to hear. What a gift he is.
What i later recognized after seeing this video so often: Song is so much about people dont listen to each other, losing their capability to communicate. But in the end of the video finally the boat with the musicians crossing the river to meet the waiting songwriters. So at the end the video gives us a glimse of hope, that its not to late.
They've done a few covers and all of them are amazing. If you do their song Down With the Sickness, please do the unedited version. There are explicit lyrics but it's a great, powerful song.
I liked your reaction, but as someone that loved and grew up with the original, I would ask that you now do a reaction to the original by Simon & Garfunkel. This cover has a very unique and dark side vs. the orig. - Listen to it and see what you think. Thank You.
Simon and Garfunkel wrote this “folk” song in the early 60’s when you hear that version and compare …. The message is “tech” world today,… everyone is looking down, not up with eye contact,voices the personable things~ that connects us as a person/people Thank you so much for listening to the video before doing your opinions that makes a big difference when it comes to critiques
Bravo my dude I know what you mean it’s hard to stop that song he pulls you right in excellent reaction and they are a hard rock band do Down With The Sickness baby.
That eargasm is what happens when you classically train a rocker. If yall aren't already familiar with Disturbed, I hope you will check out more of their songs.
When David Draiman performed "The Sound of Silence," Paul Simon who originally wrote the song said that this was the greatest performance of his work that he had heard and actually put a link to this performance in his personal social media.
Listen to The Light and A Reason to Fight, both songs by Disturbed that has helped many people, including myself. Fabulous musicians who aren't afraid to try new things.
awesome reaction. really enjoying you both reacting to music i enjoy and seeing you enjoy it to. i am from new zealand and was wondering if you would react to our native metal band alien weaponry. they sing in traditional maori language. different to anything you would have heard before. but i think you will enjoy it
This is a really good cover. And I see you did the Pentagon if version. Both very good. But I'm so old school, that I have to give S&G THE NOD. Your react was nicely done. More plz!!!!
I know you've now done more S&G, but the comparison between these versions is very interesting. S&G's tone and tempo was so different, and I love it and grew up with that, but this interpretation including the stunning video, is incomparable
great reaction. such a great song. another powerful song by them is reason to fight. song about depression and suicide. has great message. this will help some people out. there is a live version which is good but i prefer the video version. thanks
Great job 👍 with your reaction to the cover of Sound of Silence From Simon and Garfunkel cover by Disturbed since you enjoyed the live check out the live performance on The Conan O'Brien show .
I think in his interpretation, judging by the video, hes thinking music could bring people together? Hence the writing of the music, (even that which no one ever heats) then the bringing of the instruments and music sheets to the shore, then finally crossing the divide with all of it in the boat to the peopke (of all different religions). In other wotlrds we are all have the same feelings inside and although country and religion divides us, maybe music is one thing we might all share?? Idk. Seems like the video is siggesting that. (Migjt be just mut way of seeing it of course) xxx Whatever the case, it moves me. Xx ❤❤❤❤
Heyyy you guys still need to check out NF start with The Search. See what you think. Also the live version of this song is even better you guys should deff check it out aswell
Unfortunately, you and youtube destroyed and canceled the ending. Youtbe because it displayed previews of videos on the left, and you because you didn't wait for the last three tones. Did you understand anything from the video related to the text? Didn't say a word about it? Have you seen the original S&Gs? Sad!
Now listen to their song down with The sickness to see how disturbed normally sounds
It's soooo good!
Yes! And oh my gods them in concert, at least in the early 2000’s, f-ing BRILLIANT! Thank the gods I’m tall for a girl or I’d have been trampled but ***worth it*** Also, David is a trained cantor so his range & breath control are almost perfection.
Are you saying he doesn't sound the same? Ha ha
I'm kidding I'm kidding!
Now listen to the live version on Conan O’Brien. The singer had the flu and still blew out of the box. It’s probably the greatest televised live performance of a song in television history.
Thank you for saying this so I didn't have to :)
I'm just discovering this version of the song today. I've listened to it about 50 times in a row. I said the same thing to myself before I saw your comment. Greatest performance of any song, ever.
Thank you for letting the video run without being interrupted, I appreciate the respect to the music and David's voice.

This song gives me chills. I've had the pleasure of seeing them perform this live. It was amazing.
Thank you for not stopping this track it needs to be heard all the way through to take in the power of the music, the words and the voice.
Heard it 100+ times and still get chills. Good reaction.
Great reaction guys. This is a phenomenal group. More to hear from them.

One of very few covers that is better than the original
Hi guys. You really should listen to his live version of this on the Conan show. (And he was sick when he did that live performance)
Love his voice.. He did a live version on Conan... It's as good if not better than this
This versions brings out emotion in me that Simon & Garfunkel never did
You have to listen to his live on Conan w/orchestra a Total WOW VERSION! He was sick w/flu and still showed up to perform this masterpiece of another Artist with such Grace and Justice!
And the world of music is even larger.... you will get suggestions for years!
i wish you would have done the live performance on Conan O'Brian show. From now on you should always look for all options available and when possible choose the live one because I find them to be the most memorable.
Now you're ready for the live version!! Disturbed - Sound Of Silence = ruclips.net/video/Bk7RVw3I8eg/видео.html
Yes the singing is awesome. The orchestration with it is what makes it so enthralling for me.
Thank you for having the respect to not halt this powerful video without stoppong. I grew up listening to the original songwriters, Simon and Garfunkels version. It's very different and beautiful.

DISTURBED'S... THE LIGHT, PRAYER, STRICKEN, VENGEFUL ONE, LAND OF CONFUSION, BAD MAN, REASON TO FIGHT, HOLD ON TO MEMORIES,
I applaud you for not interrupting the musical journey. Well done
This video makes me bawl my eyes out every single time.

They've done a few covers and all of them are amazing. If you do their song Down With the Sickness, please do the unedited version. There are explicit lyrics but it's a great, powerful song.
You need to hear Disturbed sing "Devon" . It is absolutely wonderful. Very emotional.
I liked your reaction, but as someone that loved and grew up with the original, I would ask that you now do a reaction to the original by Simon & Garfunkel. This cover has a very unique and dark side vs. the orig. - Listen to it and see what you think. Thank You.
cudos for you guys letting the song play all the way through. Great to see your natural reaction.
Thank you!

Please check out the Pentatonix version of this song, it's mind blowing!!
That eargasm is what happens when you classically train a rocker. If yall aren't already familiar with Disturbed, I hope you will check out more of their songs.

He did such a great job on this.
Listen to The Light and A Reason to Fight, both songs by Disturbed that has helped many people, including myself. Fabulous musicians who aren't afraid to try new things.
if you review, watch All of the video
they say Simon and Garfunkel's was a warning and disturbed is the anger for not paying attention to the warning
This band is definitely heavy
Thanks to Simon and Garfunkel for writing and recording this classic over 50 years ago......
My favourite version.
linkin park - given up reaction next! RIP Chester
awesome reaction. really enjoying you both reacting to music i enjoy and seeing you enjoy it to. i am from new zealand and was wondering if you would react to our native metal band alien weaponry. they sing in traditional maori language. different to anything you would have heard before. but i think you will enjoy it
Thank you for your comment! We will keep that in mind for the future! Our list is pretty long 😅
Should have listened to Simon and Garfunkel’s first. Art Garfunkel has the voice of an Angel!
5:06 Thank you for taking away your hand from the pause button :)
This is a really good cover. And I see you did the Pentagon if version. Both very good. But I'm so old school, that I have to give S&G THE NOD. Your react was nicely done. More plz!!!!
I know you've now done more S&G, but the comparison between these versions is very interesting. S&G's tone and tempo was so different, and I love it and grew up with that, but this interpretation including the stunning video, is incomparable
You are great reactors. Love you both. Another good song is by Terry Jacks seasons in the sun
godsmack's cover of come together is also really good
great reaction. such a great song. another powerful song by them is reason to fight. song about depression and suicide. has great message. this will help some people out. there is a live version which is good but i prefer the video version. thanks
I'm just waiting for the gut punch!😂
Great job 👍 with your reaction to the cover of Sound of Silence From Simon and Garfunkel cover by Disturbed since you enjoyed the live check out the live performance on The Conan O'Brien show .
You must hearing Nightwish, ghost love score, with Floor Jansen. Enjoy
I love knowing young Americans understanding this fantastic story.
They are heavy metal. Listen to Down with the Sickness, the Light,
It really should be illegal to react to this song without hearing the Simon and Garfunkel version first.
It was said that Paul Simon loved the Disturbed version of his song. This is a powerful version but I like the original by Simon And Garfunkel best..
"Simon & GarfInkel" :D :D
I think in his interpretation, judging by the video, hes thinking music could bring people together? Hence the writing of the music, (even that which no one ever heats) then the bringing of the instruments and music sheets to the shore, then finally crossing the divide with all of it in the boat to the peopke (of all different religions).

Idk. Seems like the video is siggesting that. (Migjt be just mut way of seeing it of course) xxx
Whatever the case, it moves me. Xx ❤❤❤❤
If you guys want to check out some Symphonic Metal, try Nightwish, Ghost Love Score 2013 at Wacken. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Recommendation, "INSIDE THE FIRE" for mental health awareness
I have heard it said that the original was a warning and this version is the anger that we didn't listen.
Five Finger Death Punch. Wrong Side Of Heaven. Sam will cry
Paul Simon at Ground Zero is the best version hands down!
Down with The Sickness Video is Great, But I would See The Official. Also, After that, a Must See is ( Hold on To Memories ).👍
You Two's Gotta check out the LIVE version of this fabulous song, It;s on CONAN on u tube,, It's Smashing ,,,,, John UK,,,,,,,,
David Draiman Disturbed,Geoff Tate Queensryche and Rob Halford Judas Priest.....most powerful voices in rock IMO.
Try listening to the Conan version- the live version that is on the Conan show -I think it’s better.
Heyyy you guys still need to check out NF start with The Search. See what you think.
Also the live version of this song is even better you guys should deff check it out aswell
You should listen to the nevermore version
This version is actually better than the original….which is crazy, because the original is perfect
Listen to Zombie by the cranberries. .. you won’t be disappointed !
I like the live Conan version way better. Incredible!
watch all the video, you missed the meaning of the music instruments and song writers come together.
subbed :)
Legend!
Why did you cancel the video prematurely?
Now try simon and garfunkles version not as dramatic but imho much better
Waiting for copyright clearance!
Impossible to find a place to pause this song. Thanks for not trying.
Unfortunately, you and youtube destroyed and canceled the ending. Youtbe because it displayed previews of videos on the left, and you because you didn't wait for the last three tones. Did you understand anything from the video related to the text? Didn't say a word about it? Have you seen the original S&Gs? Sad!
j3bane dementy
Sorry - but the original by Simon and Garfunkel is the best. Paul Simon wrote the song.
The worst version of this i have ever heard. Hard to believe it got the ratings it did.
The Conan live show has so much more character...
