    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"

      *HA!!!!!!* His honesty. Good one! If his nose grew an inch for every time he's lied about his use of Auto-Tune, that massive pointy schnoz would extend from Earth all the way to the farthest galaxy. 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.

      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

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.

Because if you were referring to the latter, one could ONLY expect that it was YOU that originally threw the weight. THAT'S what I am talking about.... since you needed it specifically spelled out.

His favorite song as well as mine is Sound of Silence.

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 😏

    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.
