I had the most fun with this song when it came out! All my friends who were pop or country music fans were like “that song is so beautiful, I want to hear more of their songs!” I was wringing my hands - if only I could have seen every one of their faces when they next played Down with the Sickness……
This is my first listen to a review you’ve done . Two massive positives straight off. First, the performer, Disturbed, fills the screen and not you. Secondly, you let him sing without constant interruption. Thank you!
🎼🎼🎼🎳🎳🎳🎳 .. this is a great live performance , Mrs. Realistic , and I am so glad you shared it this evening. There is nothing like live music ... especially when the singer is so engaging , and with such a huge voice. This guy is really something. Thanks .. I enjoyed this a bunch !!! 🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎼🎼
Great reaction, and great reaction to "1916" by Sabaton....It seems you like emotional songs, if you get the chance please listen to "Dead Boys Poem" by Nightwish, could be the best ever vocal's from Floor....Bless You
I was in 8th grade when the original came out in 1964, The country was still recovering from JFK being assassinated. Civil Rights and Viet Nam were starting to become part of the daily routine. The turmoil that marked the 60s was in the early stages. Simon and Garfunkel's version was kind of a gentle caution to the country that change was needed and it was on the horizon. Disturbed version has nothin' gentle about the warning it's relaying to us all. Given David was sick as a dog this night makes ya wonder how in the heck did he pull this stunner off.
I've always loved this song....But I am a 'lyric' person & this performance just demands you 'listen' It gave me chills the words are so meaningful. David nearly cancelled this performance due to a very heavy cold & a temp. But thank goodness he didn't. Just such a special performance. Love your channel. Guy Sebastian has a new hit out now called "Antidote' featuring Sam Fisher. it's another song with lyrics to wrap around your heart. ruclips.net/video/TrNC9PjpWz0/видео.html
@@MrsRealistic Oh you are just 'The best!' lol I'm excited to see your reaction to Antidote.....I must say that Guy's music is my Antidote when I'm feeling low. lol And it's the first time I've listened to Sam Fisher he's amazing too. He has been staying with Guy & his wife while here & they are having the most fun....like long lost brothers lol Thanks again lovely.
@@MrsRealistic Oh wow that's fantastic! I don't know why Johnny hasn't had the success he deserves. He's been on America's Got Talent and others but always comes runner up. Guy's mentoring is on another level too. "Black & Gold' was one of my fav Judge & contestant performances. Love your support for our Aussie artists 💖
@justlinsu too bad they had that silly zoom audience. There was only one judge who was actually there too. I remember when idol did something similar. The "rules" never seemed to make any sense. And I don't have a clue how Johnny isn't uber famous!
Unpopular opinion. The video is better. He was ill during this performance. Although it's still beautiful, the impact of the video was astounding. Just saying.
I loved the impact of the video for sure! The imagery was so meaningful. A few people had commented that he had said his voice wasn't 100% during this, and I was like, "Well 100% to him must be different to me" 😆😄
I believe that both were totally amazing, but I agree… for me, the official video hits more, but the live has a different, possibly more intimate feel to it. The video has a stronger presentation of the message of the song, but the live gives a closer look into the artist in my opinion. Hope that makes sense
This performance is so far superior to the video. It's real, raw, authentic, naked, beautiful. To me, the video was gimmicky and bled my attention away from the music. This song is genius songwriting by Simon and doesn't need visual assistance. His voice although he was ill, captured what great music always achieves, in drawing you in, and keeping your brain hostage to its brilliance.
Even my mom, who generally speaking didn’t like ANY modern rock/metal artists, said “Wow! I think maybe this is how the song was supposed to sound all along.”
@@MrsRealistic Pleasantly surprised on both sides. Don’t know what happened, but she became a *lot* more open-minded the last few years of her life. It was like seeing a whole different side of my mom I never knew existed.
Apparently David was sick on this occasion, but from what I heard lately he was suffering from a lesion on his vocal cords and still decided to perform.
I don't know if this was mention previously or not but........ David was actually sick with the flu when they performed this.......the studio decided to add some autotune post production and David was PISSED
Yes, I was amazed that he was sick! There's no way you could tell. But I'm not surprised that someone like him would be pissed off about being autotuned!
I find it's hard to compare since they're are totally different. I LOVE the original... but I love all kinds of music and I can appreciate when another artist does a cover of someone else's song. I know Paul Simon loved this version.
We all say how awsome this rendition is . . We often forget the words and how powerfull they are especially in todays world . Where the voices of the people are often drowned out by political rhetoric and grand standing . . . AND the plight of our people can be overlooked by those govts giving their citizens money to other countrys . Fix home first . . Bye from NZ💐🍻👍🇳🇿twa
the lead singer was running a fever and had a rather nasty cold going during the session. Listen for it, and you'll feel it in his voice.. it adds so much.. how ever it reminds me of a story of my brother in law who was hospitalized after an nasty auto accident where he shed about 30 extra pounds of wieght.. everyone complimented him about how much better he looked.. his only comment was that he did not recommend the crash diet... had to share..! (grins)
Just one more decent cover to do you have done Hurt and this one next is , Joe Cocker / With a Little Help From My Friends 1969 Woodstock fest for 200,000 people
Go to Tommy Johansson's YT and listen to him when he sings covers on, among other things, abba qeen gary more and others. He sings like a god, plays all the instruments himself. Just quit Sabaton as a guitarist and also has his own band majestica. Fantastic person
Love your reaction video. You don't stop every 30 seconds. I know there are rules for copywrite, etc, but it's annoying having the constant interruptions.
Thank you! I have videos where I'll stop if it's something really in the moment that I have to comment on... but I've also started to just enjoy the music as much as I can in the moment. I was watching something the other day and the lady said if you hate pausing, this isn't the channel for you...I get it... some people pause a lot... but then she paused about 5 times within the first 10 seconds. And I've found that it doesn't seem to matter how many times you pause, copyright claims happen no matter what. Anyone who says they have to pause every 10 seconds in order to get away with the claims is incorrect. It's totally up to the Copyright owner whether the dispute we do on that claim is released... and only a few artists actually do that. Such is the life of a reaction channel 🤷♀️😉
Thanks for doing this. I LOVE this version! A true masterpiece, IMHO. Now, you gotta check out Geoff Castellucci's cover. It's completely different but just as good.
I recently saw Disturbed live and was pleasantly surprised. I was not really a fan and went mostly to see their opening act, Plush. Disturbed was much better than expected. By the way, I would love for you to do a reaction to Plush. They are up and coming all female band.
There's yet another live version of this song where Myles Kennedy is a surprise/guest singer or a "special treat" as David said. IMHO the harmonies that came out of that performance just take the song to another level. And just in case you didn't know, Myles Kennedy is the lead singer of Alter Bridge which is another great band totally worth reacting to. Cheers!
I can find meaning in both the studio version/official video and this, too. Because I agree that the imagery used in the official clip has some striking power. Then with this live rendition, all of the players performing their excellent parts are visible. And no matter what it is still a very heavy and dramatic cover.
Great visuals in the MV, but there is an overpowering sense of emotion with this performance. Will be eternally one of those flawless performances. Beautiful!
As usual, I completely enjoyed your reaction!! I suspect that the three most popular versions are the original, Pentatonix, and Disturbed. This specific version is my favorite from Disturbed. It sometimes brings me to tears. So... which version is the BEST of the three?? The answer is simple.... Yes.
Please check out disturbeds song ''The light''. The music video whit the lyrics are so damn heart warming and uplifting! More people need to hear this! Great voice in this song as well. Aswome reaction btw!
This is a great remake. Amazing voice. Others with the same talent would be Smith & myers from Shinedown. THey have a ton of songs in the last few yrs that they covered. You wont be disappointed. OH and Rens new song just dropped :)
Thank you Mrs R for this absolutely stunning version of this Iconic song...my favorite version even though I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel's version...Just a note, he was trained in classical tradition and a trained Cantor. His vocals are some of the best regardless of Disturbed being a heavy metal band. Talent hides everywhere, just have to find it. Cheers, stay well.
I’ve seen it described that the original was a warning, as to Disturbed’s version being more of a wake up call, and I think that’s how I feel about the two takes.
I had the most fun with this song when it came out! All my friends who were pop or country music fans were like “that song is so beautiful, I want to hear more of their songs!” I was wringing my hands - if only I could have seen every one of their faces when they next played Down with the Sickness……
🤣 No kidding!
Love your reaction! Still gives me goosebumps after hundreds of listens. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼🎼❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
This is my first listen to a review you’ve done . Two massive positives straight off. First, the performer, Disturbed, fills the screen and not you. Secondly, you let him sing without constant interruption. Thank you!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that! 🙏
So agree.....too many reverse that
🎼🎼🎼🎳🎳🎳🎳 .. this is a great live performance , Mrs. Realistic , and I am so glad you shared it this evening. There is nothing like live music ... especially when the singer is so engaging , and with such a huge voice. This guy is really something. Thanks .. I enjoyed this a bunch !!! 🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎼🎼
Thanks! :)
Can't fake live. Rock music backed by an orchestra is always great.
So true... the arrangement was wonderful!
Great reaction, and great reaction to "1916" by Sabaton....It seems you like emotional songs, if you get the chance please listen to "Dead Boys Poem" by Nightwish, could be the best ever vocal's from Floor....Bless You
Oh shoot... that sounds awesome! 👌 Thank you!
Im a fan of the song from both bands but disturbed made that song wayyyyy better.

It's beyond me how he managed this with the flu! 👀

Same here... this song is so hauntingly beautiful! And I just recorded Antidote and will have it up in a few days! GORGEOUS song!
@@MrsRealistic Oh you are just 'The best!' lol I'm excited to see your reaction to Antidote.....I must say that Guy's music is my Antidote when I'm feeling low. lol And it's the first time I've listened to Sam Fisher he's amazing too.

@@justlinsu how cool! I also filmed the video "Black and Gold" from the Voice...WOW🤯

Well, as good as this version is, a lot of people are wrong...imo, the video is better and more powerful.
Great reaction David had the flu and still had the voice
I can barely talk if I get the flu or a cold and there he is belting out this spectacular gift!
Unpopular opinion. The video is better. He was ill during this performance. Although it's still beautiful, the impact of the video was astounding. Just saying.

He was sick that day too watch d
Documentary with them he was say his voice he was hoping is keep it together

This song is genius songwriting by Simon and doesn't need visual assistance. His voice although he was ill, captured what great music always achieves, in drawing you in, and keeping your brain hostage to its brilliance.
I think visually it’s an explanation for those trying to understand the song lol
The performance that got me back into popular/rock/metal after a hiatus of about 50 years.
Even my mom, who generally speaking didn’t like ANY modern rock/metal artists, said “Wow! I think maybe this is how the song was supposed to sound all along.”
As long as you're opened minded enough to listen to music you might not...one can end up being pleasantly surprised! :)
@@MrsRealistic Pleasantly surprised on both sides. Don’t know what happened, but she became a *lot* more open-minded the last few years of her life. It was like seeing a whole different side of my mom I never knew existed.
@jeffk1482 That's pretty cool! I've had a wonderful reconnection with my dad as well.
@@jeffk1482ask her to check out . . The Warning . . . "Revenent" is a nice ballad . . It may intise her to listen to more of The Warning
LOL Why is this version so much better? It is, but I don't understand LOL
He was a bit ill that evening and he was classically trained….opera
Watched this live when they performed so lucky!
Not a million interruptions. Insightful review. That's a subscribe my friend!
Why thank you!! 😊
Apparently David was sick on this occasion, but from what I heard lately he was suffering from a lesion on his vocal cords and still decided to perform.
That's pretty amazing!
Wonderful reaction! I saw an interview with him saying his voice was not 100% on this night, but, wow, it was pretty damn awesome!
Dang, if that's not 100%, then I'm living in a different universe than he is! LOL!
I don't know if this was mention previously or not but........ David was actually sick with the flu when they performed this.......the studio decided to add some autotune post production and David was PISSED
Yes, I was amazed that he was sick! There's no way you could tell. But I'm not surprised that someone like him would be pissed off about being autotuned!
react to yungblud
Gets to me every time 😊
It is a revised song and it's good! But put yourself in the 1970s, it was great. By Simon and Garfunkel! I'm 66
I'm a HUGE fan of the original! I was brought up on music like Simon and Garfunkel and adore their music 😊
The original by Simon & Garfunkel is 10 times better.
I find it's hard to compare since they're are totally different. I LOVE the original... but I love all kinds of music and I can appreciate when another artist does a cover of someone else's song. I know Paul Simon loved this version.

I couldn't agree more! 👏

I hear that! It's not a great way to lose weight! I'm glad he's alright now!
Just one more decent cover to do you have done Hurt and this one next is , Joe Cocker / With a Little Help From My Friends 1969 Woodstock fest for 200,000 people
I LOVE Joe Cocker's cover of that! Probably one of my favorites!
The original, this version, and Pentatonix's all all excellent and each gives a different insight into the song.
Go to Tommy Johansson's YT and listen to him when he sings covers on, among other things, abba qeen gary more and others. He sings like a god, plays all the instruments himself. Just quit Sabaton as a guitarist and also has his own band majestica. Fantastic person
Cook thank you!

Now you need to react to Geoff Castellucci's version
Oh no...I bet I'll cry!
Apparently they auto tuned him, against his desires. The dudes voice needs nothing…..
Blasphemy!!!
Thanks for doing this. I LOVE this version! A true masterpiece, IMHO. Now, you gotta check out Geoff Castellucci's cover. It's completely different but just as good.
Oh shoot... I'm going to have to do a "sound of silence" and "hallelujah" Playlists 😆👍
🥰
He was sick during that performance
That's crazy... you'd never know!
I know, huh?!
They used auto-tune in one little spot on this night and David was livid.
I've heard that from a few others. I totally understand why he would have been!
I recently saw Disturbed live and was pleasantly surprised. I was not really a fan and went mostly to see their opening act, Plush. Disturbed was much better than expected.

So powerful ❤
