So if the Sickness is next (real Disturbed), then here's the meaning, so you're not scared for life. Stole this from another site: "... he's not talking about his actual mother, he is referring to the 'mother society' or the main stream culture of today which is disgusting and looks down upon anything that is different. He saying that the people who are different are the ones that society today views as being sick. Thus the... 'get up get down with the SICKNESS'..."
Singers name is David Draiman, I've never seen you go more than 3:45 mins without commentating, just sat here and watched your face man. This song gets everybody! Was first done by Simon and Garfunkle I believe in the 60's.
David Draimam 's voice is so pure and his resonance is perfect. He clears two octaves in this song, he is a classically trained singer and it really shows in this performance. His technique is so good that he isn't even straining his chords.
The original by Simon and Garfunkel was a warning of the consequences of not speaking out against corrupt power.... this version is the rage that the warning went unheard.
Phillip Castro context: the song is about a dream Paul Simon had. He dreamed about thousands of people worshiping a neon god (technology). People talking without speaking (texting). People hearing without listening (internet). People writing songs that voices never share (RUclips for example). The original from 1964 was a warning that technology is going to take over our lives to to be careful. The Disturbed version is anger because that warning was ignored.
This is a cover of a 1960's song written by Simon and Garfunkel.... another cover they did well was Genesis's song Land of confusion ... however The sound of silence is not how Disturbed normally sound ..
Down with the sickness Voices Stricken Stupify The Game Indestructible Inside the fire Ten thousand fists The light The vengeful one Land of confusion Asylum The animal Take your pick
I agree with you listening to all the ones mentioned before my comment what comes after I will not look back and edit this but I hundred percent agree with the list last far
I love watching people react to this song! The lyrics,powerhouse vocals of David Draiman and his passion,driving this song home,in our minds,planting seeds to grow and provoke deep reflection of what has become of humanity and our Earth. Seeing people's eyes and facial expressions are wonderful,watching the moment that the penny drops,that something has been destroyed by humanity and maybe it's too late for loving each other and our Earth. It hits a raw nerve. No one has done with this song, what David Draiman and Disturbed have. The power,rawness, passion and feelings that are not only seen on David's face, but are heard in his voice. Definitely raises the vibrational energy and frequency. This song was written for you to sing David Draiman.
I saw disturbed live last year. I’m all bout disturbed and here’s some songs you’ll love -stricken -down with the sickness - indestructible -stupify -prayer -liberate - asylum -inside the fire -the game -the vengeful one -remember -10 thousand fists - avarice And the lead singer is David Draiman and the guitar player is Dan Donegan and the bass player is John moyer These are disturbeds best songs
I've fought my own Sound of Silence in addiction! This song speaks volumes to the fight I never believed was a fight! Been clean off heroin since 12/19/08. Keep doin you brother!! Love your channel brother! KTF!!!
Congratulations.. been clean from heroin/opioids since 2020. One day at a time. I found silence was what I needed. Couldn’t talk or interact without some sort of substance. Couldn’t just be comfortable alone with myself.
I can see it now at the concert ... Disturbed will hit certain points in different songs and Preston will bust out a Hold on bruh ..... HOLD ON BRUHHHHH!!! And the whole crowd will freeze. Then he will say, "And NOW we can Proceed" 😂😂😂😂
I hope you know what you do is so important. I have depression. I was diagnosed when I was 17 (I'm 36 now). I've always been able to deal with it so that it didn't have a major impact on my life. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with some other chronic illnesses that caused me to have to leave my job. Then my father's health took a bad turn and he is now currently awaiting a lung transplant. I ended up moving back in with my parents to save money and take care of my dad. My depression got much worse and I cut myself off from everyone but my immediate family. I started watching your videos and some other music reaction videos and I noticed they really brought me joy. When reflecting on this I realized that while I am so thankful to be here to help my parents, I missed my friends. I missed just hanging out, talking, listening to music. Getting into debates over a bands best song. Talking about what memories a certain song brings up, etc, etc. You made me see that I was just existing and that I needed my friends to help me dig out of this depression. I've recently reconnected with people that I love and I can feel that things are getting better. Thank you for what you do!
I see you… I'm kind of in the same situation. Struggled With anxeity since i was 8-9 after some teens tried to hang me. It evolved into depression since no one didn't take me serious. Lost a lot of faith in myself. Im 44 and still struggle… I pray for Your Health and Your Return to happiness! Hugs
jessicahodge0823 I suffer depression as well attempted suicide when I was 15 I am 34 now my fathers health dived down also last year his liver but he was not eligible for a replacement because of a heart valve he fought hard but passed in July 31 2018 and it definitely takes a toll music is an escape for me also these videos I hope you’re dad comes through fine keep fighting God Bless Y’all
@@Jesusisking2785 my wife also suffers from anxiety and disturbed has another song called reason to fight it's an amazing song that she says she relates with u should check it out
Most times I prefer the original. But in this case, I think Disturbed's version is just so much better. The tempo in the original was pretty much the same the whole way through while this one starts out soft but leads up to a crescendo. I will give S&G credit for one thing - Art couldn't sing, but this song was perfect for him somehow. In all though, I do agree with Sean that you should seek out the original. The stylings of S&G's version suit the era and Disturbed's version goes much better with the current times.
mil2k11 I like this version better too. The harmonies in the original are great, but the tempo bothers me because it steadily increases throughout. I just think Preston would be interested in the history of the song.
I'm probably in the minority here (fuck knows why) but the original is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. This cover does absolutely nothing for me.
I've seen them in concert three times. You won't be disappointed. He. Has an amazing voice. Don't expect ballads all night. This song fkn is so amazing. That voice! Beautiful.
I'm sure this goes without saying, but the song was written by Paul Simon of/for Simon And Garfunkel in the early 60's. Many have tried to do this song. The only one I know for sure that Paul really liked, is this version. He even posted the band's performance of this on Conan onto his Facebook page. That says alot.🖤
@@brianwolfe5982 No, not at all. I don't mind autotune, and i use it all the time for myself and other bands i mix. But the problem is that this performance is absolutely amazing, and others without post production + when I saw them live the vocals were really average at best, and that made the overall performance a lot less impressive. That's all.
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, loved bands of our time!❤❤❤
David Draiman is the lead vocalist. In my 40+ years of listening to music, this is by far the best cover song ever. 'Sound of Silence' was written in 1964 by Paul Simon & recorded as sung by Simon & Garfunkel. I recommend listening to their performance of the song. The lyrics are accompanied with a simple melody - the song's meaning about "youthful alienation," as quoted by Simon himself. Think of 1964 America; Simon was 21 when he wrote 'Sound of Silence.' Disturbed's version here I have no doubt is a respectful tribute. But vocalist Draiman's range in singing is amazing and he puts strong feelings into the stanzas as the song crescendos to the end. Definitely a compliment to Paul Simon. Now, if you pay attention to the video, Disturbed interjects their own interpretation. Watch carefully the scenes of musical instruments seemingly abandoned in the dry sands of the desert. What if music was dying? Pay attention - at the very end, music & its instruments are collected and saved in Biblical fashion!
Dire Straits please? Brothers in Arms (a night in London 1996). You’ll love the lyrics and the whole MELODIC nature to the song, especially Mark Knopflers’ guitar work. Awesome.
This is not their usual sound...this is a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. Down with the Sickness is their most popular song. Lots of other great ones. You are going to love the concert! Vlog...yes!
Bro I have watched a ton of your vids. This is the first time I ever seen you speechless for almost a whole song. Great reaction Bro keep up the good work.

Please listen to Dire Straits ! I recommend you some songs like their biggest hits Sultans of Swing or Money for Nothing, they're also Brothers in Arms, Private Investigations and Telegraph Road
"And who is the lead singer? I need to know his name!" Haha. I click immediately on "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed reactions to see exactly your response!
David Draiman is the lead singer. Disturbed has sooo many good songs, hard to say which ones are a must listen, but here are mine (just my opinion). Start with Stupify & Down With The Sickness for their classics, then The Vengeful One, Serpentine, The Night, Enough, Stricken, & Sons Of Plunder. Also check out Immortalized, Asylum, The Infection, Indestructable, Inside The Fire, & The Curse. All amazing songs that really get you pumped up. Good workout music. Glad you reacted to this song, it gives me goose bumps every time.
I've watched several people reviewing this song, you are the best ! You know why? You didn't stop the video every ten seconds to comment ! You listened, you saw and you experienced it. THEN you gave your review !! The mark of a wise man. Bless you...
This is my favorite version of this song! I do like the Simon and Garfunkel version ( the original) David Drairman is his name! He slayed this song! This not Disturbed's normal sound. They are more like Rage Against the Machine, awww crap, I'm having a brain fart,and can't name other bands who are comparable to Disturbed.
Vocally talent wise Soundgarden and Korn. We already lost Chris and Chester, if something happens to David then it will be a day that music died for this corner of hard rock.
@@peasandcarrotsofdoom2645 I saw Chris Cornell. At Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, 2014. He was pretty much solo,with an acoustic guitar. He was incredible . One lady there was actually crying, because he sounded so good. Scott Weiland, with Stone Temple Pilots,was great too!
David is classically trained. What a wicked gift he has. Once you know he's classically trained (just like Pink)... it makes you appreciate their vocal control and strength that much more. I love this song and him so much! If ur into this you have to see the side all know that is Disturbed.. down with the sickness.
Yeah... One of my favorite songs ever... Their version is so Fantastic.. Was great to see your attention and expressionable excitement... They are awesome.. Especially live... 👍👍👍
MEIN HERTZ BRENNT!!! If I ever push for a PR at the gym MHB is THE ONLY SONG I need. It will knock you out with adrenaline and just put you in that adrenaline pump!
That's David Draiman singing, incredible voice. But... uummm.... this is NOT what you should expect at the show man... you should look up a bunch of their stuff before you go or will be caught way off guard.
AK007 Campbell...I’m in the Land of Confusion now. He stated it’s 1st time listening. So is he going to the concert to see 3DG and Disturbed happens to be touring with them. Cause I wouldn’t buy a ticket to see someone I haven’t heard of
You already know the singers name and probably heard that this song was originally done by Simon and Garfunkle. After Disturbed performed this on Conan's show David recieved a call from Paul Simon and Paul Simon told him that The Sound of Silence was now his song. Now that is something! An original artist handing the torch of one of their songs over to another artist that took the song to a whole new level. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkle and this was always my favorite of their songs but this version gives me chill bumps every time I hear it even when I listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row. No other song has ever done that to me and I have listened to over 10,000 different songs in my life easy.
His name is David Draiman and I read somewhere that he is a classically trained OPERA singer also! Many say that's one of the reasons he was able to absolutely Kill this song!!!!! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS!! only this version done by him!!!
My father told me many years ago he dont really listen to what most bands were singing. But just the melody of it. Thats cause he never had english training much in school etc and just national tv in the 60s when he grew up. For me tho that kinda came naturally beeing born in the 80s. I got angry at him at times cause he was saying he didnt like this song and that song cause he didnt like the melody of it. And didnt really understood the lyrics. This isnt an issue in the native english speaking countries ofc. But all im saying is they didnt make songs just for fun most of the time back in the days, they had a message. Most artist makes music to bring forth a meaning to a song. This one is powerfull indeed, and the message is still as important today as it was hell, 50 years ago.
Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkle, the original writers, When he heard Disturbed's version he made the statement "it's no longer my song" that's how much respect he has for this version
I added my disturbed recommendations to another great list compiled, but since it’s a tour for their new album, I’m sure they’ll sprinkle in a few new songs with their more popular songs. Maybe give their new album, Evolution, a listen one night too. Three Days Grace is also worth giving a listen as well. I heard they’ve had the most rock #1s out of any band since they release their first single. Seems odd to me, cause they don’t get much love, but they’re pretty good radio rock. That being said, Nine Inch Nails should be the next band you check out. My recommended song by them: Wish
Agreed, he should definitely start looking into the Nine Inch Nails catalog. I would add "Gave Up" and "The Frail/The Wretched" to the list of recommendations for songs to start with. The live video from 2002 of "The Frail/The Wretched" is particularly good.
Reminds me of my brothers Jimmy and Billy, both gone too soon. They loved this song back in the 60s and 70s..and 80s. Disturbed did a awesome job, wish my bros. Could've heard this!
This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school run out of funding the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, I could go on and on. 😢
One more comment, as a lead on to disturbed. Do a double reaction, song 1 “Close my eyes forever” Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford. Second “Close my eyes forever” Device Feat Lizzy Hale from Halestorm. David Draimen is lead vocals in the band “Device”
I love that Disturbed didn't turn this old song with this huge message into rock/metal half ways. These lyrics don't need it. David getting more and more angry at the end is enough. Ppl didn't listen in the 60's, 70's and 80's and when the internet came with the so called SM, ppl are less communicating, less really listening to eachother, speaking lot of bla bla. COMMUNICATION face to face, about everything, is NECCESSARY ppl. TV (MSM) is propaganda for evil minds making huge profits. SM is for monkey, for zombies. It's not social at all. REAL COMMUNICATION FACE TO FACE IS ESSENTIAL. LISTEN TO EACHOTHER IS ESSENTIAL. READING FACES AND BODY LANGUAGE WHILE COMMUNICATING IS ESSENTIAL. THEN, ONLY THEN, MOST PPL HEAR THE LIES!! The truth, the fun etc. Thank you for thus reaction video, loved your facial expression. You're a GOOD and smart person. I like you.
The singer is David Draiman. It's so ironic that your first Disturbed song would be their most recent (2015) big hit. Now you need to go all the way back to the beginning and listen to the following in this order: Stupify, Down With The Sickness, The Game, Shout 2000, Believe, Land Of Confusion, Ten Thousand Fists, Inside The Fire, Indestructible, and Perfect Insanity. Get to work, and enjoy!!
Dude, been catching up on your reactions and they are great. I love watching that moment when you get it. I've got a couple of suggestions for you to react to. Not sure if you just want the bands or the bands and songs, but I'll give you a few to start. 1) Blue October - Hate me 2) Poets Of The Fall - Daze 3) Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill 4) Gunship - Dark All Day 5) Muse - Dead Inside. Try them out. Looking forward to see if you give them a go.
@@michaelpatton7344 2112 Overture,/The Temples of Syrinx/ Discovery/Presentation. Something for Nothing,Tom Sawyer, Xanadu,Working Man, Closer to the Heart, Fly By Night, YYZ, Freewill, Spirit of the Radio, Limelight.I think these are a good start.
Debbie Fulton What I mean is for his VERY first Rush reaction it needs to be something epic. Those are all great songs but there are sooo many more. By-Tor and the snow dog, Trees, Red Barchetta, Working man, Cygnus X1, Natural science. See what I mean. Tho I would recommend side one of 2112 lol
I'm glad you chose this video. Others chose the video from a show they were on and sang the song. On the show they used auto-tune without his knowledge. This video, the performances on stage and the original recording were/are done without auto-tune. It took him 3 hours to record his vocals for the song. It's awesome, like it better than the original.
recently I have been watching a lot of your reaction videos and I do enjoy them and your reactions to music I love, this particular song is one that inspires great passion and feelings in vast amounts of people...…...and it is the first time you haven't made a single comment until the song had nearly finished.....that is very telling, it shows to everyone the effect it had on you.....excellent reaction
The song worked so well, you went to pause it to say something then, stopped like, eff, he's still on one! The majority of Disturbed's discography will be heavier and grittier, enough so you may feel like you got pimped slapped on your next track.
David Draiman is the singer. Band is from Chicago. Greatest metal band ever!! You should hear some of their other stuff. Lead guitarist grew up in my area. Love Disturbed!!
Lol and people thought us Metal Heads were crazy for liking this stuff. Every person I have ever introduced to it and gave it a chance loves it. Its one of the last Genres of Music that actually says something or has a message beyond the "getting Mine" mentality. You need to listen to some of the classics of rock to see the origins of Metal. It came out of the 60s and 70s rock era. The Stones, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin paved the way. It lead into more Melodic Rock that still had good lyrics such as Pink Floyd and The Eagles. Rock and Metal is a genre that has consistently has a message to challenge, overcome, and renounce the shackles of society / rule. Glad to see someone else discover it.
I am 60 years old and I have loved Disturbed since they first hit the stage. They are the best heavy rock band to come along in quite a while! His voice singing this song is hauntingly beautiful!
I've been asking for that n Seether,specifically "The Gift" since his channel first started.I know he would love " Tears don't fall",n the video is bad ass too!✌
I was 13 when Simon & Garfuncle wrote and sang this song. I loved it but I never paid attention to the lyrics. This version you diffently understand the lyrics. Talking without speaking means texting. The song was written before its time. I think the neon god means technology. I love this song, everything about it was perfect. His voice is unbelievable. I hope he makes more videos like this.
Talking without speaking refers to people that ramble and pretend to know what they are talking about. They talk and talk and talk but never actually say anything of value. Sure, you can apply it to texting but this song was written in the 60s, so texting is most certainly not the intention.

one of the greatest vocalists ever tbh. knows what hes good at and hes impossibly good at making a growl from so above his throat
Simon and Garfunkel wrote this after Kennedy was assassinated.
@@MrDizzle715 Paul SImon is listed as the sole composer.
he looks a lot like the bald guy from Californication hahaha
I was thinking the same thing. Preston makes the music more intense.
David Draiman is an underrated vocalist. His "growls" are above his vocal cords. Oh Yeah they're from Chicago...
He really is... he has such confidence and control over his growls. I love when he sings it live
Well... Draiman is from Jerusalem... but yeah
Disgruntled Vet I agree completely, he is in total control of his voice and his breathing. He use his lower, mide chest and head voice.
Hell of a comment, well put my friend.

Think you might be slightly reaching. Both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have said the song is about people’s lack of communication with one another.
This is a cover of a 1960's song written by Simon and Garfunkel.... another cover they did well was Genesis's song Land of confusion ... however The sound of silence is not how Disturbed normally sound ..
The cover of "shout" from their debut is awesome

I have been binge watching reactions to this song for the last 3 hours, youtube is one hell of a drug
Lmfao he gets me every time 😂😂😂 #ktfaddict
Lol same 😂
I've seen them in concert three times. You won't be disappointed. He. Has an amazing voice. Don't expect ballads all night. This song fkn is so amazing. That voice! Beautiful.
@Heather Gilhooley never disappointed!!!
Wished they could tour here to in asia. :(
Disturbed- Ten Thousand Fists Or Stricken
Stricken the theme of WWE New years revolution 2006 with Edge cashing money in the bank on Cena ... some good memories
Down with the sickness lol
Hefty~Puffer Down with the sickness is honestly overrated. It’s amazing but it’s not their best song. And I also Suggested it in a different comment
I'm glad ppl are bringing Simon and Garfunkle's music to this generation. I love them so much.
I'm sure this goes without saying, but the song was written by Paul Simon of/for Simon And Garfunkel in the early 60's. Many have tried to do this song. The only one I know for sure that Paul really liked, is this version. He even posted the band's performance of this on Conan onto his Facebook page. That says alot.🖤
It is a very haunting version
You should check the live version of this they did on Conan... freaking amazing.
Much better live.
Thanks to the autotune
@@max8591 one, tiny bit of autotune and that's all you can focus on? Overall, an amazing performance. Doofus.
@@brianwolfe5982 No, not at all. I don't mind autotune, and i use it all the time for myself and other bands i mix. But the problem is that this performance is absolutely amazing, and others without post production + when I saw them live the vocals were really average at best, and that made the overall performance a lot less impressive. That's all.
@@max8591 Its been debunked by vocalist that it was auto tuned.
I love this cover of sound of silence, check out down with the sickness.
I've learned that David Draiman and Disturbed address depression, addiction and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, loved bands of our time!❤❤❤
David Draiman is the lead vocalist. In my 40+ years of listening to music, this is by far the best cover song ever.
'Sound of Silence' was written in 1964 by Paul Simon & recorded as sung by Simon & Garfunkel. I recommend listening to their performance of the song. The lyrics are accompanied with a simple melody - the song's meaning about "youthful alienation," as quoted by Simon himself. Think of 1964 America; Simon was 21 when he wrote 'Sound of Silence.'
Disturbed's version here I have no doubt is a respectful tribute. But vocalist Draiman's range in singing is amazing and he puts strong feelings into the stanzas as the song crescendos to the end. Definitely a compliment to Paul Simon.
Now, if you pay attention to the video, Disturbed interjects their own interpretation. Watch carefully the scenes of musical instruments seemingly abandoned in the dry sands of the desert. What if music was dying?
Pay attention - at the very end, music & its instruments are collected and saved in Biblical fashion!
Dire Straits please? Brothers in Arms (a night in London 1996). You’ll love the lyrics and the whole MELODIC nature to the song, especially Mark Knopflers’ guitar work. Awesome.
up
This is not their usual sound...this is a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. Down with the Sickness is their most popular song. Lots of other great ones. You are going to love the concert! Vlog...yes!
He owns this song. When the original artist gives up their claim, that's special.
The original doesn't even come close to this. I love this, my hubby's favorite.
Such a great cover. Gotta check out “Ten Thousand Fist” first song I ever heard by disturbed. Fell in love
Bro I have watched a ton of your vids. This is the first time I ever seen you speechless for almost a whole song. Great reaction Bro keep up the good work.

"Silence like a cancer grows" - so profound and true in my life. KTF - preach this
Yes, and it's metastasized throughout mankind today :(
I'm wondering if Preston will soon "Get Down With The Sickness"?
Please listen to Dire Straits !
I recommend you some songs like their biggest hits Sultans of Swing or Money for Nothing, they're also Brothers in Arms, Private Investigations and Telegraph Road
Rockforever forever good choice of songs :)
brothers in arms!!!
Live alchemy !!!
Brothers in Arms has one of the best guitar solos ever made in it. Great song and i highly recommend it if you decide to do Dire Straits.
One of the best group ever. Would fit him perfect. So much melody. Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
"And who is the lead singer? I need to know his name!" Haha. I click immediately on "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed reactions to see exactly your response!
Disturbed - THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!! You should listen to prayer 🙏🏼
Yesss😃😍 I'm soo excited you're listening to this one!! Literally one of my favorite songs sung by them!! 💝✌🌹🌠
Congratulations on the concert tickets for real that's gonna be an Amazing time!! 😄😘
i'm addicted to this one!!!!!!!
Adams Cold ur not alone bro
@@justinr.1111 i'm so glad i found it cause the 1st time i listened to it was when i was watching "The Blacklist"
I listen to it everyday since then
As a born and raised rocker, seeing all these hip hop heads doing reacts to rock makes my little metal heart so happy. 😭❤️
Love your reaction, watch his live performance on Conan H won an Emmy for it!!~!!!
Metallica - Harvestor of Sorrow that shit will get you headbangin
David Draiman is the lead singer. Disturbed has sooo many good songs, hard to say which ones are a must listen, but here are mine (just my opinion).
Start with Stupify & Down With The Sickness for their classics, then The Vengeful One, Serpentine, The Night, Enough, Stricken, & Sons Of Plunder. Also check out Immortalized, Asylum, The Infection, Indestructable, Inside The Fire, & The Curse.
All amazing songs that really get you pumped up. Good workout music.
Glad you reacted to this song, it gives me goose bumps every time.
How poetic that you went almost the whole song without pausing it.. your silence spoke volumes
I've watched several people reviewing this song, you are the best ! You know why? You didn't stop the video every ten seconds to comment ! You listened, you saw and you experienced it. THEN you gave your review !! The mark of a wise man. Bless you...
Yooo you got much Disturbed to hear bro, check out their other remake "Shout".
This is my favorite version of this song! I do like the Simon and Garfunkel version ( the original) David Drairman is his name! He slayed this song! This not Disturbed's normal sound. They are more like Rage Against the Machine, awww crap, I'm having a brain fart,and can't name other bands who are comparable to Disturbed.
Vocally talent wise Soundgarden and Korn. We already lost Chris and Chester, if something happens to David then it will be a day that music died for this corner of hard rock.
@@peasandcarrotsofdoom2645 I saw Chris Cornell. At Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, 2014. He was pretty much solo,with an acoustic guitar. He was incredible . One lady there was actually crying, because he sounded so good. Scott Weiland, with Stone Temple Pilots,was great too!
David is classically trained. What a wicked gift he has. Once you know he's classically trained (just like Pink)... it makes you appreciate their vocal control and strength that much more. I love this song and him so much! If ur into this you have to see the side all know that is Disturbed.. down with the sickness.
Yeah... One of my favorite songs ever... Their version is so Fantastic.. Was great to see your attention and expressionable excitement... They are awesome.. Especially live... 👍👍👍
React to Du Hast by Rammstein.
Lol not heard rammstein for years
New album coming!
or Sonne
Or Mutter
MEIN HERTZ BRENNT!!! If I ever push for a PR at the gym MHB is THE ONLY SONG I need. It will knock you out with adrenaline and just put you in that adrenaline pump!
That's David Draiman singing, incredible voice. But... uummm.... this is NOT what you should expect at the show man... you should look up a bunch of their stuff before you go or will be caught way off guard.
AK007 Campbell...I’m in the Land of Confusion now. He stated it’s 1st time listening. So is he going to the concert to see 3DG and Disturbed happens to be touring with them. Cause I wouldn’t buy a ticket to see someone I haven’t heard of
@@brianchiaro1191 right on, makes sense. Thanks!
@KEM MEK Right On! Kem! I'm far too old for all that now, LOL!
Yeah, this is a cover of a classic and he does it justice but Disturbed is a unique band
yep this is a big difference to there normal music
You smiled I smile 😊 YES!!!! Thank you!!!! I have never heard a man that can sing like this!!!!!
You already know the singers name and probably heard that this song was originally done by Simon and Garfunkle. After Disturbed performed this on Conan's show David recieved a call from Paul Simon and Paul Simon told him that The Sound of Silence was now his song. Now that is something! An original artist handing the torch of one of their songs over to another artist that took the song to a whole new level. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkle and this was always my favorite of their songs but this version gives me chill bumps every time I hear it even when I listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row. No other song has ever done that to me and I have listened to over 10,000 different songs in my life easy.
Guaranteed to be an impressive song to hear for the first time: Cranberries - Zombie
Thumbs up if agree and ONLY if you know the song.
V J bad wolves do a great cover of Zombie
Breed77 do a phenomenal cover of Zombie...
react to down with the sickness by them next its amazing
The Game is the better song on that first album.
He should listen to the lounge version of it from the Dawn of the Dead OST lol
@@jmarra07 Richard Cheese is awesome. His Baby Got Back is also fun
His name is David Draiman and I read somewhere that he is a classically trained OPERA singer also! Many say that's one of the reasons he was able to absolutely Kill this song!!!!! ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS!! only this version done by him!!!
For Disturbed, I recommend their first single "Stupify". Huge fan of the band.
Ten thousand fists, down with the sickness, liberate, voices, and indestructible just to name a few
Ayyy this just made my day. Worth the wait!
His name is David Draman. He a trained Jewish Cantor. Sound of Silence is a cover of the original that was written & performed by Simon & Garfunkel.
He's so freaking DREAMY. Beyond talented and did this song such justice.
Silemt lucidity by Queensryche
Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session)
hell yes!
Yes!!! A lot of reaction channels already did this.. Time for Preston to react...
My father told me many years ago he dont really listen to what most bands were singing. But just the melody of it. Thats cause he never had english training much in school etc and just national tv in the 60s when he grew up. For me tho that kinda came naturally beeing born in the 80s. I got angry at him at times cause he was saying he didnt like this song and that song cause he didnt like the melody of it. And didnt really understood the lyrics. This isnt an issue in the native english speaking countries ofc. But all im saying is they didnt make songs just for fun most of the time back in the days, they had a message. Most artist makes music to bring forth a meaning to a song. This one is powerfull indeed, and the message is still as important today as it was hell, 50 years ago.
Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkle, the original writers, When he heard Disturbed's version he made the statement "it's no longer my song" that's how much respect he has for this version
I added my disturbed recommendations to another great list compiled, but since it’s a tour for their new album, I’m sure they’ll sprinkle in a few new songs with their more popular songs. Maybe give their new album, Evolution, a listen one night too.
Three Days Grace is also worth giving a listen as well. I heard they’ve had the most rock #1s out of any band since they release their first single. Seems odd to me, cause they don’t get much love, but they’re pretty good radio rock.
That being said, Nine Inch Nails should be the next band you check out. My recommended song by them: Wish
Agreed, he should definitely start looking into the Nine Inch Nails catalog. I would add "Gave Up" and "The Frail/The Wretched" to the list of recommendations for songs to start with. The live video from 2002 of "The Frail/The Wretched" is particularly good.
Down with the sickness next please. This is soooooo mellow for them. Thanks man. Appreciated!
Reminds me of my brothers Jimmy and Billy, both gone too soon. They loved this song back in the 60s and 70s..and 80s. Disturbed did a awesome job, wish my bros. Could've heard this!
This song has so many different meanings... When schools, especially public schools from kindergarten through high school run out of funding the first programs they cut ✂️ are the art's, music, theater etc. Also, ISOLATION, DIVISION, LONELINESS, NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT STANDING UP FOR OUR RIGHTS OR EXPRESSING OURSELVES AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, I could go on and on. 😢
Meshuggah - Bleed, a metal classic
One more comment, as a lead on to disturbed. Do a double reaction, song 1 “Close my eyes forever” Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford. Second “Close my eyes forever” Device Feat Lizzy Hale from Halestorm. David Draimen is lead vocals in the band “Device”
I love that Disturbed didn't turn this old song with this huge message into rock/metal half ways.
These lyrics don't need it.
David getting more and more angry at the end is enough.
Ppl didn't listen in the 60's, 70's and 80's and when the internet came with the so called SM, ppl are less communicating, less really listening to eachother, speaking lot of bla bla.
COMMUNICATION face to face, about everything, is NECCESSARY ppl. TV (MSM) is propaganda for evil minds making huge profits.
SM is for monkey, for zombies. It's not social at all.
REAL COMMUNICATION FACE TO FACE IS ESSENTIAL.
LISTEN TO EACHOTHER IS ESSENTIAL.
READING FACES AND BODY LANGUAGE WHILE COMMUNICATING IS ESSENTIAL.
THEN, ONLY THEN, MOST PPL HEAR THE LIES!! The truth, the fun etc.
Thank you for thus reaction video, loved your facial expression.
You're a GOOD and smart person. I like you.
The singer is David Draiman. It's so ironic that your first Disturbed song would be their most recent (2015) big hit. Now you need to go all the way back to the beginning and listen to the following in this order: Stupify, Down With The Sickness, The Game, Shout 2000, Believe, Land Of Confusion, Ten Thousand Fists, Inside The Fire, Indestructible, and Perfect Insanity. Get to work, and enjoy!!
Dude, been catching up on your reactions and they are great. I love watching that moment when you get it. I've got a couple of suggestions for you to react to. Not sure if you just want the bands or the bands and songs, but I'll give you a few to start. 1) Blue October - Hate me 2) Poets Of The Fall - Daze 3) Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill 4) Gunship - Dark All Day 5) Muse - Dead Inside. Try them out. Looking forward to see if you give them a go.
David Drainmen is his name.
David Draiman*
Well done , someone that actually listened to a song and not stopping it every 10 sec
This is an old song from Simon and Garfunkel. The lead singer for disturb is David Draiman is actually trained in classical music
Please, react to Rush. You won't regret it! Your face will melt off, listening to Rush.
Debbie Fulton I totally agree. Question is which song first
@@michaelpatton7344 2112 Overture,/The Temples of Syrinx/ Discovery/Presentation. Something for Nothing,Tom Sawyer, Xanadu,Working Man, Closer to the Heart, Fly By Night, YYZ, Freewill, Spirit of the Radio, Limelight.I think these are a good start.
Debbie Fulton What I mean is for his VERY first Rush reaction it needs to be something epic. Those are all great songs but there are sooo many more. By-Tor and the snow dog, Trees, Red Barchetta, Working man, Cygnus X1, Natural science. See what I mean. Tho I would recommend side one of 2112 lol
Rush in Rio..Tom Sawyer,Red Barchetta, Freewill
La Villa Strangiato, or anything from Hemispheres, honestly.
Please, PLEASE react to wrong side of heaven from five finger death punch! Please watch the video!
Most definitely do this
Ew
That song makes me cry!
Good suggestion
Yes please!
I'm glad you chose this video. Others chose the video from a show they were on and sang the song. On the show they used auto-tune without his knowledge. This video, the performances on stage and the original recording were/are done without auto-tune. It took him 3 hours to record his vocals for the song. It's awesome, like it better than the original.
recently I have been watching a lot of your reaction videos and I do enjoy them and your reactions to music I love, this particular song is one that inspires great passion and feelings in vast amounts of people...…...and it is the first time you haven't made a single comment until the song had nearly finished.....that is very telling, it shows to everyone the effect it had on you.....excellent reaction
The song worked so well, you went to pause it to say something then, stopped like, eff, he's still on one!
The majority of Disturbed's discography will be heavier and grittier, enough so you may feel like you got pimped slapped on your next track.
Home and animal I've become by three days grace braaaaaaaaa
Numb by Disturbed..Much love...and Sound of Silence is Epic!!
Indestructible, asylum, hell, overburden, prayer, darkness Messiah... Just a few more of their badass songs. The Believe album is amazing too
Bad Wolves - Zombie
Yeeeesssss!!!!! I can't listen to it without getting emotional!
Fuck yeah!!!! Loved the original,but they killed it!!! Beautiful video tribute as well.🙏👼
The Cranberries Zombie first.
@@Laeadern I personally didn't like the Cranberries version Bad Wolves did it better in my opinion
@@Welderman-xo1sx Well we can't all have good taste....lol
You'd better get busy. Disturbed has a lot of great music in their catelog. You are gonna have a fabulous time head-bangin! 🤘🤘
Love this song and this man's voice , gives me chills every time I here it.
David Draiman is the singer. Band is from Chicago. Greatest metal band ever!! You should hear some of their other stuff. Lead guitarist grew up in my area. Love Disturbed!!
React to Yelawolf To Whom It May Concern, Sabrina, Hustle, and Your Little Man By Struggle ft Yelawolf. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Type O Negative - Love You To Death
Good one to listen to first. Black No. 1 might scare him away ;)
That song is sexy af
My first foray into type o negative was their remake of summer breeze.
Lol and people thought us Metal Heads were crazy for liking this stuff. Every person I have ever introduced to it and gave it a chance loves it. Its one of the last Genres of Music that actually says something or has a message beyond the "getting Mine" mentality. You need to listen to some of the classics of rock to see the origins of Metal. It came out of the 60s and 70s rock era. The Stones, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin paved the way. It lead into more Melodic Rock that still had good lyrics such as Pink Floyd and The Eagles. Rock and Metal is a genre that has consistently has a message to challenge, overcome, and renounce the shackles of society / rule. Glad to see someone else discover it.
I am 60 years old and I have loved Disturbed since they first hit the stage. They are the best heavy rock band to come along in quite a while! His voice singing this song is hauntingly beautiful!
Awww Preston💕 Your a breath of fresh air man😁 Would ❤ a reaction to Simple Man by Shinedown at my house😉❣
you're*
Love, LOVE, L❤VE, Shinedown.🎶🎤🎸❤
Bullet for my Valentine- Tears don't fall, please))
Yes! I love them! They were one of the lesser groups at one of the music festival's I went go. Heard them and fell in love with them.!
I've been asking for that n Seether,specifically "The Gift" since his channel first started.I know he would love " Tears don't fall",n the video is bad ass too!✌
THE most beautiful cover of Sound of Silence ever done in history. Lead singer is David Draiman.
I was 13 when Simon & Garfuncle wrote and sang this song. I loved it but I never paid attention to the lyrics. This version you diffently understand the lyrics. Talking without speaking means texting. The song was written before its time. I think the neon god means technology. I love this song, everything about it was perfect. His voice is unbelievable. I hope he makes more videos like this.
Talking without speaking refers to people that ramble and pretend to know what they are talking about. They talk and talk and talk but never actually say anything of value.
Sure, you can apply it to texting but this song was written in the 60s, so texting is most certainly not the intention.
