    I met David when I was 16 in 2005 and he grabbed me by the collar and dragged me to the front of the line to sign autographs with the band, gave me a signed album. I got to shake their hands, and Draiman gave me a great big hug and stared me straight in the eye and said "I appreciate you as a fan, be good to people, be good to yourself"

      Sorry to burst your bubble with some friends who our audio engineers and technical advisors every live mic can be tuned and added effect there's plenty video out their about it but with that being said it takes someone with an amazing voice to only need slight touches and effects added to provide a show he is amazing frontman and singer but he does have his mic tuned like everyone but it's part of the performance so it's not a knock against them just know when you see Broadway now that's true performances and talent singing

It would be so far away, even William Shatner and his raggedy toupee and Scotty's most powerful engines would be unable to travel the distance necessary to explore it.

    Back in January 15th of 2016 my son died from PTSD induced suicide. One of an overall estimated average of 22 veterans per day who take their own lives. One of the last things my son Keith and I did together was watch your music video cover on "Sound of Silence" when it first came onto RUclips. That was about a week before he died. Needless to say that song as you folks did it continues to be something very special to my wife Carole and me.

His favorite song as well as mine is Sound of Silence. I am a huge fan of the Simon and Garfunkel version and normally not a fan of covers however Mr. Draiman infused new life to one of the all time best songs ever.

They might help your kid, too, if you’re interested. And if you plan on taking them to a concert, I’d recommend staying near the edge of the crowd so if they get too overwhelmed they can get out for a sec and take a break. I hope this helps. :)

    I truly feel David will be noted as the best singing voice and video in history with the Sound Of Silence. It's brilliant. That's my opinion anyway. I could listen to that song all day long. Truly remarkable capture of the song.

      Omg please don't compare David to Howie! They could not be more polar opposite. Both are great in their own right but come on David is so fucking sexy and Howie 😏

      David Draiman is one of the few people in the entertainment industry who is worthy of Universal popularity. Unlike so many others......he is the real deal.

    Never thought I'd be listening to Disturbed but hey, you only live once,right? Sound of Silence was and is a beautiful rendition of the original but,to me, better. Such feeling of rage that I found awesome and then I found Hold on to the memories and I was loving your voice and I want to thank you for being so honest. Nothing to hide.

    Oh man i love this so much ! At the age of 13 i was a huuuuge Disturbed fanboy and my room was covered in Disturbed Posters and pictures i printed. He is a metal legend and they have made something different and combines different styles in their music. Especially on the first 3 Records ! I love how down to earth he is and how open he is.
