You need to also remember that you're looking at a relatively new band in this video. You can hear that David's voice is much younger and less mature than the one you heard in "Sound of Silence". Sixteen years of touring does a lot to a lead singer's vocal cords... some good, some bad, depending on how they use them. In David's case, I think he sounds better today than he did 20 years ago. This tells me he hasn't abused his voice, as much as strengthened it.
He also had to operate his stomache because he got reflux stomache acid ( don't know exact naming for this) so it came up on his throat and hurt his vocal folds. So his voice has changed because of this aswell of i recall correctly from an interview he did
He did an interview about this one and he said originally that growl wasn't in the song, he did it spur of the moment during a training session and after the shock of the rest of the band wore off they decided to do it like that from then on. Here's the interview if anyone is interested ruclips.net/video/PQS2WWTEefY/видео.html
I too appreciate the link. many times in the comments, people do give good trivia and interesting facts, but don't reference anything, hard to know what is truly fact and whats made up
@@sshhddoo9892 agreed, the funny thing is that interview is part of a much longer one about that very concept. Most of the questions was about things people were saying about them and if it was true or not.
The Sound of Silence and Down With the Sickness are almost each end of the Disturbed spectrum. There are so many fantastic songs I can't even decide which ones to recommend.
Censored version :/ great video Julia. But imo, the uncensored version is unique. Just because that part is the important part, basicly. But ye... Keep it up with the content!
If you want to hear an amazing example of David's range, I highly recommend Save Our Last Goodbye. On top of his amazing vocal work, the song has a huge emotional element to it, similar to Cory Taylor and Snuff.
Shame that official MV has a certain part cut out of it. Also it's worth mentioning that between Down with the Sickness and Sound of Silence there is at least half of a decade gap in vocal improvement. Another thing worth mentioning is that David got some kind of vocal cords surgery in the mean time.
It’s my understanding he had an issue with acid reflux that was causing discomfort to his chords. Apparently he had surgery to address that along with diet changes. He addressed that on a interview I saw somewhere on RUclips.
@@mjc1389 That sounds reasonable. I don't remember the details, I only know that it happened around the Warsaw show I had tickets too and everyone was a bit scared of cancellation after 10 years absence. And not gonna lie - he didn't sound to well back then.
The surgical procedure he had done actually failed after a period of time and there isn't enough tissue for surgeons to repair it again. Gist of details i recall in said interview.
Down With the Sickness is probably the most well-known Disturbed song, and the "oh-wah-ah-ah-ah" in it is certainly the most iconic of David's "noises", but there are other songs where he makes different noises, and does them more often. Asylum and This Moment come to mind immediately, followed by Stricken, The Game and Haunted. Other songs I would recommend would be Pain Redefined (more for the unusual progression and cadence on the verses than anything else) and Overburdened (for more of his "sweet" tone - I would agree that that's a good adjective for it).
When I hear this song, I have thoughts about one thing. When I was an indy wrestling referee, I met a guy who went by the named “Hardcore Kid” during a show in Jesup, Georgia. I had his match against Adam Lyger, who was a friend of his. They had an incredible match that went about 8 minutes. After the match, I ran to the back and thanked both of them for the match. I did another match they did with Darin Lynch, another person I was close with who threw out the idea of me being a “heel referee.” Five years later, I’m working for a group down here in Charleston , SC and he’s on the card but now known as “Josh Magnum.” For his entrance he used “Down With The Sickness.” A few years later, I get on a “Hall of Fame” show being held by a group in Orangeburg, SC as part of the group in Charleston. I get to the show with a friend who was working as a manager on the show. I get to the show and find out that it’s a tag team match with Josh in it and I had the match. Now, the group that was hosting the show was a group that Josh was HUGELY over with the company’s fanbase. Plus, Josh hadn’t worked for them in a couple of years and they didn’t know he was going to be there. Once I realized that, my brain went full throttle into an idea to get as big of a reaction as possible. I’m in the ring with the ring announcer and he introduces the match. The first ones out were the heels with the manager who rode up with me. They get in the ring and taunt the fans. Then, the ring announcer introduces the 1st half of them who comes out to “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson. He comes down the aisleway and walks around ringside while high-fiving fans. He gets back to the aisleway and stops. After a very brief pause, the lights go out and his entrance video comes on as that opening drumbeat starts. I knew the reaction would be good but I wasn’t prepared for this. The crowd, which was maybe 300 people, went crazy. I couldn’t hear myself think. I could barely hear the music which was blaring in the National Guard Armory where this was. I was doing everything I could to not react myself. It’s one of my favorite moments as a referee. So, whenever I hear that song, that’s the first thing I think of. Also, earlier in the back, I was talking with Josh about the reaction he would get when he came out. In his deep voice with a strong Southern drawl, he looks at me and says,”Brother, I don’t think they’re going to remember me.” I think this may have played a role in why I enjoy reaction videos.
Lol, the outtakes at the end. To make that 'noise' (lol), you have to sort of go into subharmonic and then squeeze off the air. As you squeeze off the air, you'll notice the pitch going up. If you want higher volume, put in a bit more pressure. This will hurt your throat though, so don't sustain for too long. The 'dog bark' is high pressure bursts into a growl. Normally you need sustained high pressure for a growl... for the bark, you increase the pressure a bit more beyond that, but you don't sustain.
Hi julia, recently I’ve been watching ur channel and i noticed that u havent reacted to avenged sevenfold😭its my favorite band and i would really like for you to listen to so far away by them 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Hey Julia, please react to Ren with his song Hi Ren. Storytelling masterpiece about mental health. The fairy voice mother just did and we need you (and Elizabeth) to hear/analyse it as well. You will feel a lot.
Yeah, having listened to Disturbed from back in the day and this being the band's sound I was familiar with, _The Sound of Silence_ completely blew my mind and made me love them even more.
This was the radio edit. In the full version there is a full section after the 'when I dream' that deals with an abusive parent and turning the tables on that parent. That section is a bit dark for my taste.
So I was randomly looking for videos of people reacting to this song. Had to pause the video and subscribe after I realized that those in depth paragraphs you put in post were going to be done for most of the song. Looking forward to checking out your other content. If you wanted to try an anime song I highly you try any song from Bocchi the Rock
One of the key points is Draiman has classical training as well, which I think just exemplifies his vocal range and ability to transition out of the growls and into some incredible cleans
I was lucky enough to catch Disturbed in a small venue in Nashville very early in their career and...David was an an absolute force on stage. Everything you highlight for his voice, is so much more impactful live because of stage presence. Honestly as a an amateur vocalist, David's work inspires the hell out of me.
Love this! I hope you react to more Disturbed. If you do more I suggest the songs The Vengeful One, Who Taught You How to Hate, Prayer, Stricken, or Awaken
"Stricken". I've always loved that one as my favorite example of David's "harsh" side of his vocal techniques. Plus, it helps that the song is kick-ass.
@@RobbieFitzgerald Agreed. She also indicated in the on screen text that she later watched a live version of this and it included the "When I Dream" portion.
@@RobbieFitzgerald It's fine when you're hearing it at the age of 11 in the early 2000s. When you're 32 and the guy performing it is in his 50s, you do kinda wonder what convinced you to listen to it in the first place.
@@DragonTigerBoss Couple yrs older than you but yup. I mean I get it. I understand the point. Its meant to be powerful. But I honestly have never liked that part. It always felt out of place.
@@RobbieFitzgerald Yep, I found it a little edgelordy even as a kid. Didn't get into Disturbed until Ten Thousand Fists. Those guys can write an anthem.
Reallyyyyy hope this isn't going to be the censored version, where they cut out the entire best part of the song, that will be a huge disappointment. Just sayin".
I would love to see you look into Gary Numan; especially of the last 8-10 years. Most know him only for "Cars" but his discography goes so much further. And his unique voice is a good match for his styles of music. "Down in the Park" Live at Brixton Academy, "My Name is Ruin" also live at Brixton (Bonus: First tour with his daughter Persia as accompaniment.) Many, many more options.
I don’t listen to all of their music but I do listen to several of their songs. David is the person that opened my eyes to how skilled a lot of heavy metal singers are.
An overall great recent song for you to enjoy is "The Light". There's probably 25 Disturbed songs you could analyze and react to. All varied but all interesting and a showcase of David and the Band's talents. Love your channel and your interactions with Elizabeth.
2:44 Exactly. I was listening to Disturbed for years before they did "The Sound of Silence." Their established style of music makes their rendition of that song even more mindblowing because of what a departure it was. And yet, it was so expertly executed. And it wasn't their first cover on one of their albums. They did a cover of Shout by Tears for Fears on their album The Sickness. They did Land of Confusion by Genesis on their album Ten Thousand Fists. It wasn't until their album Immortalized in 2015 that they did their cover of The Sound of Silence. And now it has become one of their most well-known songs.
Please do a video reaction of disturbed singing "the light"! It has heavy moments but mostly toned down, somewhere mid way between Sound of silence and Down with the sickness. I think it is a Fantastic song that showcases his pronunciation brilliantly, with softer tones and belts as well. Given your thoughts on these two Disturbed songs, I think you'll like it :)
I noticed that you also watched a live version later and it included the "When I Dream" part. Some think that part of the song is integral, while others find it unnecessary, immature, and that it drags the song down. I'm glad you watched live and recorded and got the full and "radio/video edit" versions. Shows that you really put in the work to be able to fully comment on his singing. Hope you're well! ~Be Blessed
Ayup, I agree. I'm in the camp that I feel that it's a integral part of the song, but having someone experience both versions of it I do feel it's best.
Remind me Staind's song and guitar sounds . Start checking out Mike Patton if you r interested to "strange", great vocal singer/performer ; you easly find material about him...
*The guy at 4m40s, with the boy on his shoulders, looked a bit like Dave Williams to me. This video edits out a decent chunk of the explicit section at 11m40s...which gives the listener more clarity on where the sickness comes from. Too bad this is not the full audio version...I mean it is, with other footage, but it's not the full song.*
I'm gonna leave another suggestion for Lost Horizon - Highlander. It baffles me how youtube vocal coaches somehow ignore literally the best singer in all of metal, possibly period
Julia, PLEASE check this out! Based on your videos I PROMISE you will not regret this! Toronto gave the world two AMAZING power trios during the same time period, Rush and Triumph. It's an over-simplification but you could say that Triumph's vocalist Rik Emmett was the 'Geoff Tate' of the late 70's even though their careers overlapped. Different from most bands, Triumph featured TWO really good lead vocalists. Drummer Gil Moore is also an impressive vocalist and does sing lead on a few of their songs. I remember comparisons of Rush and Triumph back in the day because they're both trios and both are from Toronto but they each went down very different paths. Triumph probably got a little more radio airplay at the time, they were known for their HUGE sold out shows full of big light and sound presentations, their music was more mainstream and they had the IMPRESSIVE vocals of Rik. You think he's reached his high note then he goes even higher. Plus their songs for the most part all have very positive lyrics. They were known as "the good guys of rock and roll". Magic Power, Fight the Good Fight, Never Surrender and A World Of Fantasy all have Rik doing the lead vocals, all were on the radio and any one would be a great choice for a "deep dive". Then check out Gil, probably doing When the Lights Go Down because that's my personal favorite Triumph song but he also sings Lay It On the Line and Spellbound. Depending on the video you pick you might see a guest guitarist and think they're not a trio but they are as defined by Rick Beato in his video of the best power trios, both Rush and Triumph get mentioned. Rush stayed together, Triumph had issues with that which is why they're less known these days and is very sad because they were/are truly amazing!
Here is the uncensored version it is longer and you need to hear it to get the full impact. Disturbed - Down with the sickness Lyrics (UNCENSORED VERSION!)
Dipping the ol' tootsies back into the Disturbed pool, eh? I'd recommend Indestructible for a song that will make you want to get up and go; The Light for some feel good metal vibes; and A Reason to Fight (Live) when you want to have a cry or two. Also.... Sabaton "En Livstig i Krig - Live at Gothenburg" when?
And since I've seen at least one recommendation for a cover version of this song, I'll throw out my favorite. What happens if a female-fronted German symphonic metal band performs an acoustic cover of Disturbed's "Down With the Sickness"? This. Beyond the Black, "Down With the Sickness" - ruclips.net/video/wjzJQvnnQUE/видео.html
this song as about a young man living with child abuse going through dealing and taking it to turning around and saying NO MORE!!!!!! the choras was my 12 to 22 year life. i had the woman who gave birth to me............SHE LOST THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED HER TITLE, " the word that starts with M". by the throat 2 feet up against the wall after she shover her fingernails into my wrists. stared at her and said do it more and harder begging for more? talking about my vietnam vet father in the worst way and being the town whore, etc. there are so many kids that went through this SHIT and never thought of it as abuse but it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can never listen to this song without crying.
so... this is perhaps a very stupid add on but I do believe that David's trained voice warrants a look past the heavy rock... he is a singer with control and intent... so here... COMPLETELY diff take.. I find myself watching the mouth to understand the delivery (im soo so so stupid about vocals... im a voyeur) .. ruclips.net/video/vUqEcHF2m9c/видео.html
Hey just wondering what foundation you use cuz it matches so well and as a fellow pale girl I have trouble finding something light with pink undertones that doesn't read just pink.
I hope you re-visit Tool because it seems like it’s been 10,000 days since the last Tool reaction. I’d love to to see you react to the song LATERALUS (it’s written based on the Fibonacci sequence syllables of the lyrics and time signatures, the lyrics are really incredible so react to Lateralus with the lyrics) The Grudge, or Danny Carey drum cam video from Vic Firth for the song Pneuma (you will be blown away by his polyrhythms and the insane time signatures) also the song Schism is great too.
Dog bite, on my leg. Not right, supposed to beg. Sorry your dog bark comments brought this lyric to mind. Have I ever suggested LP Lost On You (live)? Just sayin' PS This is the less heart breaking version of this song. Missed opportunity but you should go ahead and listen to that version now.
He has such a great range - voice and songs both. If you wanna see the other softer end of the range, try 'The Light', it's a great song, with a great meaning - you need the video for the full impact tho. Other favourites of mine are 'Immortalized', 'Indestructable', 'The Night', 'The Animal'(warning, the vid is *extremely* disturbed!), 'Deify'...so many great songs.
Please read in the voice of Bernie Sanders: "I am here to once again ask for your analysis of 'Don't Lose Sight - Acoustic Version' by 'Lawrence'" Seriously though, please? Anyway loved this video, David is an absolute beast.
You say it yourself. If you had heard this first, The Sound of Silence would have seemed even greater. People need to know the Normal Sound of David before the hear his Un-Normal sounds. BUT, the good thing is, you heard it anyways. Great Post, IMO.
If you're interested in something out of left field, I've got an interesting suggestion for you. Hoshimachi Suisei - Stellar Stellar from The First Take. It's tracked up over 7 million views in 9 days as of this comment. Suisei (pronounced Swee-say) is a Japanese Vtuber (virtual RUclipsr) who marks the first time a Vtuber has appeared on The First Take. What is a Vtuber? They are streamers who appear as 2d or 3d models using either facial tracking or fill body tracking to animate their avatar. They are primarily variety streamers who do many different things on stream: video games, drawing, chatting with viewers, singing, etc. Who is Suisei? Suisei is a member of Hololive, a Vtuber agency with Japanese, English, and Indonesian talents on their roster. She has made waves in Japan as one of the most talented singers in Hololive. Her singing caught the attention of Inoue Taku, a songwriter best known for his work writing the music for the Idolmaster anime. He personally asked to produce music for her as a solo artist, and they also have an album together as Midnight Grand Orchestra. Also of note is the fact that Suisei was originally picked up by Hololive specifically as a singer, and she is the only member to have retained the person's she used before joining hololive. Typically new members are given a new persona and avatar when they join (in part because Hololive keeps the identity of their talents a secret).
You haven’t heard the FULL VERSION of this song, because if you had you would certainly have a different opinion about it. This song is not what think based on this video. It has been completely censored!
it kind of bums me out that there are two Disturbed songs recommended to every reactor: Sound of Silence and Down With The Sickness when there are so many other BETTER examples of his incredible voice that I would recommend to people who liked his voice on Sound of Silence. The Light, for instance. Who Taught You How To Hate? or Asylum or Another Way to Die or anything but Down With the Sickness, which is just an OK song. I'd recommend Haunted before this song, or Monster, or Run, or any of a dozen other better songs than this. David has learned a lot since these old days and his voice is better now than it was then. You'll probably never see Julia react to another Disturbed song after this, just like every other reactor who forgets about Disturbed after reacting to this song.
When Julia sits there saying " I'm not a harsh vocalist " Looking straight into the camera.. All serious.. Well.. fair enough.. But do you know how cool it would be if you in that moment, red lipstick looking in the camera just had begun to growl.. It would have been like when a certain voice mother spat out tea listening to Jinjer.. I remember my teen years. Listening to Disturbed every where we went. It was amazing.. Thinking back on it I just feel old though :D
Disturbed live are not even real. All these vocal techniques being displayed live in such quality and consistency...who does this remind us of...? Right. David is my male Floor xD
Would love for you to react to Prayer and Awaken off of their second album Believe. Very different sound again from both Sickness and Sounds of Silence. Believe is probably my favourite Disturbed album.
Awwww, you listened to the short version of the song. I wish they'd take that version off of RUclips. David has a great voice and I love singers like him and Tatiana Shmailyuk, Mike Patton, Ronnie Redke and Courtney LePlante who can do so much with their voices.
I got introduced to Disturbed about 15 or 16 years ago on a local radio station here in New Jersey. Of course I went out and bought a couple of their CDs to hear more. Spent a lot of time listening to them while waiting to pick up my daughter at cheer practice and became a big fan.
Many great bands came out of Chicago but Disturbed represents the city and the insanity that permeates the politics and violence of the city. I lived in Chicago most of my life and watched it change after the turn of the century. It used to be called hog butcher to the world long ago. It’s nothing what it used to be over 100 years ago and before that when hogs roamed the streets and the Union Stockyards and slaughter houses stank the city up for miles around. David’s sounds in Down With the Sickness are like hog snorts. That’s Chicago.
Good for you. You have heard both ends of David's vocal spectrum. Maybe you would like to bounce back to his cleaner end with Hold onto Memories. This will pull on your heartstrings.
Please check out: lamb of god stefanie stuber the voice…. She is very unique wit her growl voice mixed with her clean voice. It’s amazing. She gets a 4 chair turn on this audition.
You need to also remember that you're looking at a relatively new band in this video. You can hear that David's voice is much younger and less mature than the one you heard in "Sound of Silence".

@@thestar37 wtf i did not know

David has aged like a fine whiskey. He still has his bite, but he's also smooth as glass.
He did an interview about this one and he said originally that growl wasn't in the song, he did it spur of the moment during a training session and after the shock of the rest of the band wore off they decided to do it like that from then on.

Edit: haha priceless.
Would love to see a reaction to the longer uncensored version of the song at some point. Or "Prayer", that song is fantastic
Yub. The full version is really "disturbed". I don't think it would add anything from a vocal standpoint ;)
Prayer for sure! Or remember
Prayer would be a great one
Prayer, sure, great song. But I prefer that bit cut out od DwtS if I'm honest.
I like Prayer, but would rather see The Light personally.
you should definitely do the Richard Cheese lounge singer version of this one. it's kind of priceless.
Absolutely it's the song dawn of the dead opens with
100%
I was about to type the exact same thing! (his BABY GOT BACK is a killer at karaoke, too!)

As a female singer you should check out the Ai Mori Violet Orlandi cover of this 🖤 those girls kill it, I love Ai Mori!
The sort of staccato sound to his consonants in the chorus is kind of his trademark sound. It's prevalent in a lot of Disturbed's songs
Lol, the outtakes at the end. To make that 'noise' (lol), you have to sort of go into subharmonic and then squeeze off the air. As you squeeze off the air, you'll notice the pitch going up. If you want higher volume, put in a bit more pressure. This will hurt your throat though, so don't sustain for too long.
The 'dog bark' is high pressure bursts into a growl. Normally you need sustained high pressure for a growl... for the bark, you increase the pressure a bit more beyond that, but you don't sustain.

This was the radio edit. In the full version there is a full section after the 'when I dream' that deals with an abusive parent and turning the tables on that parent. That section is a bit dark for my taste.
Best description I've heard of David's voice:
God: So David, do you want the voice of an angel or the voice of a demon?
David: Yes
This groove and David's vocal attitude is so good in this song. Infectious. So much missing from their newer stuff
So I was randomly looking for videos of people reacting to this song. Had to pause the video and subscribe after I realized that those in depth paragraphs you put in post were going to be done for most of the song. Looking forward to checking out your other content. If you wanted to try an anime song I highly you try any song from Bocchi the Rock
I love Disturbed since they are from my home state of Illinois since they are from the Chicago area and have loved them since they came out
Please react to HYNN killing voice you won't be disappointed.
One of the key points is Draiman has classical training as well, which I think just exemplifies his vocal range and ability to transition out of the growls and into some incredible cleans

Check out Alice in Chains-Love, Hate, Love Live at The Moore please!
Love your response, but has your skin ever seen sunlight 😊
There's an alternate version of this song this is essentially an "edited" version if you will
Please react to some Linkin Park live concerts, those are amazing.
Gotta say seeing Draiman's voice described as sweet with this song is pretty funny, given how messed up the uncensored version is
Love this! I hope you react to more Disturbed. If you do more I suggest the songs The Vengeful One, Who Taught You How to Hate, Prayer, Stricken, or Awaken
"Stricken". I've always loved that one as my favorite example of David's "harsh" side of his vocal techniques. Plus, it helps that the song is kick-ass.
You should definitely listen (and reacts !) to the long version of this song, there's a part you HAVE TO hear it's just insane
No. The rant in the middle really kills the song. It feels so immature.
@@RobbieFitzgerald Agreed. She also indicated in the on screen text that she later watched a live version of this and it included the "When I Dream" portion.
@@RobbieFitzgerald It's fine when you're hearing it at the age of 11 in the early 2000s. When you're 32 and the guy performing it is in his 50s, you do kinda wonder what convinced you to listen to it in the first place.
@@DragonTigerBoss Couple yrs older than you but yup. I mean I get it. I understand the point. Its meant to be powerful. But I honestly have never liked that part. It always felt out of place.
@@RobbieFitzgerald Yep, I found it a little edgelordy even as a kid. Didn't get into Disturbed until Ten Thousand Fists. Those guys can write an anthem.
this came out 23 years ago... I feel old
Reallyyyyy hope this isn't going to be the censored version, where they cut out the entire best part of the song, that will be a huge disappointment. Just sayin".
Click the description below the video. It tells you what version.
What a great song! I just wish that Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem would do a cover, featuring Fozzie Bear on lead vocals... "Waka waka!"
Really should have done the full version.
Love your reaction! Luv from here in Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
why always censored version...
I would love to see you look into Gary Numan; especially of the last 8-10 years. Most know him only for "Cars" but his discography goes so much further. And his unique voice is a good match for his styles of music. "Down in the Park" Live at Brixton Academy, "My Name is Ruin" also live at Brixton (Bonus: First tour with his daughter Persia as accompaniment.) Many, many more options.
forreal first time hearing??? lol
I don’t listen to all of their music but I do listen to several of their songs. David is the person that opened my eyes to how skilled a lot of heavy metal singers are.
An overall great recent song for you to enjoy is "The Light".
There's probably 25 Disturbed songs you could analyze and react to. All varied but all interesting and a showcase of David and the Band's talents. Love your channel and your interactions with Elizabeth.
The "When I Dream" part is there in the original album version as well, it's not just something for live performances.
HANDSHAKE WITH HELL !!!!
Archenemy......
Amazing review 👏 absolutely love Disturbed as well .
2:44 Exactly. I was listening to Disturbed for years before they did "The Sound of Silence." Their established style of music makes their rendition of that song even more mindblowing because of what a departure it was. And yet, it was so expertly executed.
And it wasn't their first cover on one of their albums. They did a cover of Shout by Tears for Fears on their album The Sickness. They did Land of Confusion by Genesis on their album Ten Thousand Fists. It wasn't until their album Immortalized in 2015 that they did their cover of The Sound of Silence. And now it has become one of their most well-known songs.
Please do a video reaction of disturbed singing "the light"! It has heavy moments but mostly toned down, somewhere mid way between Sound of silence and Down with the sickness. I think it is a Fantastic song that showcases his pronunciation brilliantly, with softer tones and belts as well. Given your thoughts on these two Disturbed songs, I think you'll like it :)
Антитіла - Фортеця Бахмут. Please check this out. Waiting for your reaction 🥺🙂
I noticed that you also watched a live version later and it included the "When I Dream" part. Some think that part of the song is integral, while others find it unnecessary, immature, and that it drags the song down. I'm glad you watched live and recorded and got the full and "radio/video edit" versions. Shows that you really put in the work to be able to fully comment on his singing. Hope you're well! ~Be Blessed
Ayup, I agree. I'm in the camp that I feel that it's a integral part of the song, but having someone experience both versions of it I do feel it's best.
Remind me Staind's song and guitar sounds . Start checking out Mike Patton if you r interested to "strange", great vocal singer/performer ; you easly find material about him...
*The guy at 4m40s, with the boy on his shoulders, looked a bit like Dave Williams to me. This video edits out a decent chunk of the explicit section at 11m40s...which gives the listener more clarity on where the sickness comes from. Too bad this is not the full audio version...I mean it is, with other footage, but it's not the full song.*
Falling in Reverse has a new so g out!
It's phenomenal. Waiting anxiously for your review.
I'm gonna leave another suggestion for Lost Horizon - Highlander. It baffles me how youtube vocal coaches somehow ignore literally the best singer in all of metal, possibly period
Ahhhh I've been hoping you would tackle this one. Definitely the most in-depth analysis of this song I've found!
Julia, PLEASE check this out! Based on your videos I PROMISE you will not regret this! Toronto gave the world two AMAZING power trios during the same time period, Rush and Triumph. It's an over-simplification but you could say that Triumph's vocalist Rik Emmett was the 'Geoff Tate' of the late 70's even though their careers overlapped. Different from most bands, Triumph featured TWO really good lead vocalists. Drummer Gil Moore is also an impressive vocalist and does sing lead on a few of their songs. I remember comparisons of Rush and Triumph back in the day because they're both trios and both are from Toronto but they each went down very different paths. Triumph probably got a little more radio airplay at the time, they were known for their HUGE sold out shows full of big light and sound presentations, their music was more mainstream and they had the IMPRESSIVE vocals of Rik. You think he's reached his high note then he goes even higher. Plus their songs for the most part all have very positive lyrics. They were known as "the good guys of rock and roll". Magic Power, Fight the Good Fight, Never Surrender and A World Of Fantasy all have Rik doing the lead vocals, all were on the radio and any one would be a great choice for a "deep dive". Then check out Gil, probably doing When the Lights Go Down because that's my personal favorite Triumph song but he also sings Lay It On the Line and Spellbound. Depending on the video you pick you might see a guest guitarist and think they're not a trio but they are as defined by Rick Beato in his video of the best power trios, both Rush and Triumph get mentioned. Rush stayed together, Triumph had issues with that which is why they're less known these days and is very sad because they were/are truly amazing!
Here is the uncensored version it is longer and you need to hear it to get the full impact.
Disturbed - Down with the sickness Lyrics (UNCENSORED VERSION!)
Dipping the ol' tootsies back into the Disturbed pool, eh?
I'd recommend Indestructible for a song that will make you want to get up and go; The Light for some feel good metal vibes; and A Reason to Fight (Live) when you want to have a cry or two.
Also.... Sabaton "En Livstig i Krig - Live at Gothenburg" when?
And since I've seen at least one recommendation for a cover version of this song, I'll throw out my favorite.
What happens if a female-fronted German symphonic metal band performs an acoustic cover of Disturbed's "Down With the Sickness"? This.
Beyond the Black, "Down With the Sickness" - ruclips.net/video/wjzJQvnnQUE/видео.html
this song as about a young man living with child abuse going through dealing and taking it to turning around and saying NO MORE!!!!!! the choras was my 12 to 22 year life. i had the woman who gave birth to me............SHE LOST THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED HER TITLE, " the word that starts with M". by the throat 2 feet up against the wall after she shover her fingernails into my wrists. stared at her and said do it more and harder begging for more? talking about my vietnam vet father in the worst way and being the town whore, etc. there are so many kids that went through this SHIT and never thought of it as abuse but it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can never listen to this song without crying.
so... this is perhaps a very stupid add on but I do believe that David's trained voice warrants a look past the heavy rock... he is a singer with control and intent... so here... COMPLETELY diff take.. I find myself watching the mouth to understand the delivery (im soo so so stupid about vocals... im a voyeur) .. ruclips.net/video/vUqEcHF2m9c/видео.html
Hey just wondering what foundation you use cuz it matches so well and as a fellow pale girl I have trouble finding something light with pink undertones that doesn't read just pink.
Please react to 'Poor Wayfaring Stranger - Epic Version' by Simon Khorolskiy and Chris Rupp. Its amazing.
Julia you REALLY need to do k.d. Lang's Hallelujah live from 2010 Olympics.
I hope you re-visit Tool because it seems like it’s been 10,000 days since the last Tool reaction. I’d love to to see you react to the song LATERALUS (it’s written based on the Fibonacci sequence syllables of the lyrics and time signatures, the lyrics are really incredible so react to Lateralus with the lyrics) The Grudge, or Danny Carey drum cam video from Vic Firth for the song Pneuma (you will be blown away by his polyrhythms and the insane time signatures) also the song Schism is great too.

Dog bite, on my leg.
Not right, supposed to beg.
Sorry your dog bark comments brought this lyric to mind.
Have I ever suggested LP Lost On You (live)? Just sayin'
PS This is the less heart breaking version of this song. Missed opportunity but you should go ahead and listen to that version now.
He has such a great range - voice and songs both. If you wanna see the other softer end of the range, try 'The Light', it's a great song, with a great meaning - you need the video for the full impact tho.
Other favourites of mine are 'Immortalized', 'Indestructable', 'The Night', 'The Animal'(warning, the vid is *extremely* disturbed!), 'Deify'...so many great songs.
Please read in the voice of Bernie Sanders: "I am here to once again ask for your analysis of 'Don't Lose Sight - Acoustic Version' by 'Lawrence'"
Seriously though, please?
Anyway loved this video, David is an absolute beast.
You say it yourself. If you had heard this first, The Sound of Silence would have seemed even greater. People need to know the Normal Sound of David before the hear his Un-Normal sounds. BUT, the good thing is, you heard it anyways. Great Post, IMO.
If you're interested in something out of left field, I've got an interesting suggestion for you.
Hoshimachi Suisei - Stellar Stellar from The First Take. It's tracked up over 7 million views in 9 days as of this comment.
Suisei (pronounced Swee-say) is a Japanese Vtuber (virtual RUclipsr) who marks the first time a Vtuber has appeared on The First Take.
What is a Vtuber? They are streamers who appear as 2d or 3d models using either facial tracking or fill body tracking to animate their avatar. They are primarily variety streamers who do many different things on stream: video games, drawing, chatting with viewers, singing, etc.
Who is Suisei? Suisei is a member of Hololive, a Vtuber agency with Japanese, English, and Indonesian talents on their roster. She has made waves in Japan as one of the most talented singers in Hololive. Her singing caught the attention of Inoue Taku, a songwriter best known for his work writing the music for the Idolmaster anime. He personally asked to produce music for her as a solo artist, and they also have an album together as Midnight Grand Orchestra. Also of note is the fact that Suisei was originally picked up by Hololive specifically as a singer, and she is the only member to have retained the person's she used before joining hololive. Typically new members are given a new persona and avatar when they join (in part because Hololive keeps the identity of their talents a secret).
You haven’t heard the FULL VERSION of this song, because if you had you would certainly have a different opinion about it. This song is not what think based on this video. It has been completely censored!
I always wait for those David sounds. When I first started listening to Disturbed, i knew when it was Disturbed by that "OH-WAH-AH-AH-AH!"
it kind of bums me out that there are two Disturbed songs recommended to every reactor: Sound of Silence and Down With The Sickness when there are so many other BETTER examples of his incredible voice that I would recommend to people who liked his voice on Sound of Silence. The Light, for instance. Who Taught You How To Hate? or Asylum or Another Way to Die or anything but Down With the Sickness, which is just an OK song. I'd recommend Haunted before this song, or Monster, or Run, or any of a dozen other better songs than this. David has learned a lot since these old days and his voice is better now than it was then. You'll probably never see Julia react to another Disturbed song after this, just like every other reactor who forgets about Disturbed after reacting to this song.
When Julia sits there saying " I'm not a harsh vocalist "
Looking straight into the camera.. All serious..
Well.. fair enough.. But do you know how cool it would be if you in that moment, red lipstick looking in the camera just had begun to growl..
It would have been like when a certain voice mother spat out tea listening to Jinjer..
I remember my teen years.
Listening to Disturbed every where we went. It was amazing..
Thinking back on it I just feel old though :D
This always brings back watching Day of the Dead (2008) for the first time.
Peace friend!
I'll wager if you checked how many subs are men because you talk about throat. Just saying its hot,
Peace to you,
💪✌️✌️
The head really starts bobbing around 4:15... love seeing people FEEL music!
Disturbed live are not even real. All these vocal techniques being displayed live in such quality and consistency...who does this remind us of...?
Right. David is my male Floor xD
Would love for you to react to Prayer and Awaken off of their second album Believe. Very different sound again from both Sickness and Sounds of Silence. Believe is probably my favourite Disturbed album.
Awwww, you listened to the short version of the song. I wish they'd take that version off of RUclips. David has a great voice and I love singers like him and Tatiana Shmailyuk, Mike Patton, Ronnie Redke and Courtney LePlante who can do so much with their voices.
Hi Julia. You should check out Vilket Orlando and Ai Mori's version of this song.

I got introduced to Disturbed about 15 or 16 years ago on a local radio station here in New Jersey.
Of course I went out and bought a couple of their CDs to hear more.
Spent a lot of time listening to them while waiting to pick up my daughter at cheer practice and became a big fan.
There’s one you should do that is definitely not “judge-a-book-by-it’s-cover”
Jelly Roll “Save Me”
Many great bands came out of Chicago but Disturbed represents the city and the insanity that permeates the politics and violence of the city. I lived in Chicago most of my life and watched it change after the turn of the century. It used to be called hog butcher to the world long ago. It’s nothing what it used to be over 100 years ago and before that when hogs roamed the streets and the Union Stockyards and slaughter houses stank the city up for miles around. David’s sounds in Down With the Sickness are like hog snorts. That’s Chicago.
Good for you. You have heard both ends of David's vocal spectrum. Maybe you would like to bounce back to his cleaner end with Hold onto Memories. This will pull on your heartstrings.
You changed something in editing your mic sound. More depth, god EQ. Your voice sounds like it's in my head 😄
Who heard this song in Counter Strike in 2000 became a fan of Metal.
TRY REN HI REN his is a voice that needs to be heard HE CALLS IT BARDMETAL might have got that wrong but we are all human !
More Disturbed:
10,000 Fists
Love the "slow motion dinosaur growls" in the out-takes! 😎😂
Please check out: lamb of god stefanie stuber the voice…. She is very unique wit her growl voice mixed with her clean voice. It’s amazing. She gets a 4 chair turn on this audition.
Vengeful One, Land of Confusion or Decadence would be good choices, and Indestructible is always top of my suggestions.
