I’ve watched a lot of these reactions. The comments I’ve heard the most are, “ok…wow”, and, “I was not expecting that”. I love watching people find this song. It brings me to a good space, and I love that we can all share this.
I remember waking up at 5 am after an all night party in the early 70's and someone in the house was playing the original, I loved it but didn't see a message in it, now at 67 I do.
My daughter asked me to listen to this.. I didn’t like the kind of music Disturbed was known for.. I told her “no.. I’m not listening, they will mess it up” .. she said .. “ no, ma… they don’t.. just listen with an open mind” … I did.. NOW.. I am officially a Disturbed fan.. I can’t hear enough of this beautiful man’s voice.
I have now watched well over 100 reaction videos to this song. I live for that moment where the reviewer goes from the need to "Explain" things or other chatty comments to the moment of realization they have nothing to say, and instead need to just experience it in stunned silence. It is like I'm experiencing the song for the first time again.
I'm on that exact same trip of checking out all the reviewers just to relive that first ... chill? for the first time again. Been at it for 2 days now and wow
Im 68 years old i grew up with the original. But this reaches right to your soul. That man's voice is amazing i could listen to this over vand over. Just beautiful ❤️
I've known S&G song "Sound of Silence", and I love the melancholic type but I never paid attention to the words but this version of "Disturbed", it really reaches to my soul. I can listen to this song anytime and anyday. I've watched also almost all the reactions and still can't get enough of it. This version was magnificent!
This cover performance and video does leave you speechless!! Love your “voice of a hopeful wanderer” description. Love your take on the symbolism, very intuitive and astute!! Thank you. Yes, David’s voice is truly captivating!!
Yeah...the 'uuuummm...uuummm' is pretty much everyone's reaction after this version. It really does make you sit and think...re-evaluating your life and choices. He really hits home with this - great reaction.
78 year old female here...I graduated high school when this song originally came out (1964). It was a "cute ditty" that really did not resonate with any of my age group...yeah, S & G got a new hit, yeah, it's cool, just sing along...snore. When I heard Disturbed's version a couple of years ago, I just sat in shock...the words actually spoke to me. I had been a bartender, cocktail waitress, musician all in New Orleans, finally joined the Air Force in 1973, spent more than 20 years in, did a lot of other "stuff" but it took this version of the song to Gibbs slap me and make me realize what S & G had actually written.
Ah the incomparable David Draiman...amazing range and control...a powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion/vocal fry and back on a dime, which is incredibly difficult to do . He is so unique as he actually puts vibrato on his distortion!....also VERY difficult to do...one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Loved your reaction.
Disturbed has been one of my favorite bands for about 20 years. I suspect this is recommended because it shows off David's vocal ability, and is more palatable for those who may not like the heavy they normally bring. That said, I have never heard a bad Disturbed song.
You’re the second person who interpreted the song to be about music, that thought never entered my mind. To me the message of the song remains the same as when Simon and Garfunkel sang it in 1964. Disturbed brought it into 21st-century when almost all hope is gone and they did it brilliantly!
This and Johnny Cash's "Hurt" have to be two of the best covers ever. They gave a whole new meaning and life to the originals, which were great on their own. The live performance of Disturbed on Conan is also amazing. I doubted I would like it as much as this since the video imagery is so compelling, but I'm glad to be wrong.
Everyone has a "wow" reaction the first time they hear this. It's just that powerful. "Disturbed" turned out another cover I really like of Sting, whose music I really love. They covered "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You." I thought it was another stunning cover.
First of all, thank you so much for not pausing! Disturbed has quite an extensive library of hits, but one of my favorites is 10,000 Fists. So much energy!
I wasn't around when Simon and Garfunkel did this, but I've heard it. I will say Disturbed's version is the best I've heard. When Paul Simon (the writer) texted David (lead singer of Disturbed) and told him that this song now belongs to Disturbed, what an honor. Disturbed does more metal, but I did love the duet with David and Ann Wilson (from Heart). Very versatile band. One of my favorites. Thanks for playing it through...it is one of those kind of songs. Great reaction ❤
Loved that you took your time, didn't interrupt, and actually gave a good interpretation. You can usually tell when a reaction is fake, and someone is rush through just to get the points. Thanks for giving a real reaction.
I've been listening to disturbed for over 20 years, David Draiman, the vocalist, has an amazing and extremely wide vocal range, was a Jewish canter as a boy and also trained in classical opera for many years, dude can do literally anything with his voice.. Check out their original song, a ballad as well called "Hold on to memories" ❤️ another of my favorites 😊
There is a Live Version On Conan O'Brian Show 3/28/2016. It is Fire ! 🔥🔥 I was at that Show , Second Row Almost in The Middle. He did have the Flu, But He Nailed It. I Think This was So Much Better Than The Offical Video. He also Engages with People By Making Eye Contact. Don't Just Take My word, Check it out and See & Hear for Yourself. ❤
I actually just watched an interview with David and he actually had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord. I don’t know where the flu rumor came from. Maybe that’s what they told you guys. But can you imagine how much more impressive it is knowing that it wasn’t the flu. I know it blows me away. I am so envious that you actually got to see that performance. I would have been weeping by the end of it. 🤗💋🥰
@@alisonsasher5626 I also saw him Again in August 2023 in St.Louis, Mo ( Right down the road ) from Me. He still has That Awesome Voice! If you have not seen the Video of ( Hold on to Memories ) Check it out . There is The Offical Video and The Live Video. See The Offical one First, Then The Live one. Have Kleenex handy with that one.❤
I so disagree with you (although it must have been wonderful to be there) The Conan performance was moving but his voice was no where near what it can be in that one, for obvious reasons.
I fell in Love with Simon and Garfunkel because of this song. Made me listen to more of their music. This version is the BEST cover EVER!! and it has been redone --like tons of times --Love Distrubed!!!
sounds also liketo bringing out what the hollyweid is all about doing things they are conract not to talk about or if they were brong it out nobody listening LOVE THIS
His version of the song was the extension of the original. The original was the warning and David's version is the cry of sorrow/anger that we didn't listen.
This is an amazing cover. David's voice is phenomenal! I love their song Reason to Fight. The live version of Sound of Silence on Conan is also worth watching. Great reaction!
I am so glad you did this one Zack. Disturbed is my guilty pleasure. As you know I’m a huge PTX fan, but when I heard this video and heard David’s voice I actually got sucked into listening to their music. I cannot stand metal, which is what they are. But anything David sings and I’m there for it. I’m sure others have already told you he was trained as a Cantor which is where he gets his amazing vocal abilities from but also the power behind them. He is a very angry man who is disgusted with society. His songs carry very powerful messages. I’ve actually learned to enjoy their music. Like I said anything David sings. You’ll probably be recommended to listen to their biggest hit DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS if you watch anything other than the official video you will get to hear the third verse that is cut out of that video. I will let you know right now that when he’s talking about mother, he is referring to society not his mom. Between listening to this and PTX I tend to get whiplash. As always, I very much enjoy your reactions. Some suggestions of my favorites… they have one mellow one called HOLD ON TO MEMORIES and a few melloish 😉 A REASON TO FIGHT…THE LIGHT. But some of their harder stuff…STRICKEN…STUPIFY…PRAYER. Anyway, glad you did this. Also people will tell you to watch the version of this on the Conan O’Brien show. They will tell you that he was sick with the flu but actually, I saw an interview with him and he had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord, which makes that performance all the more mind blowing. I don’t see that anybody gave you a lot of history on them. They’ve been together since 1994 and are considered one of the top metal bands in the world. I’m sure others will disagree but since they’re the only group I like that’s metal I guess I’m a little prejudiced. 🤗💋🥰
@@TBelle507 hi Danica 👋🏼 no I haven’t heard his version. But to be honest, my OCD has me only listening to PTX, Disturbed and Guy Sebastian. But I think I may be able to break out of that soon…I think I’ve watched every reactor do every reaction to them…😁 I do have a list started when I’m ready and he is actually on it. 😂. 🤗💋🥰
too bad about the copyright thing. It is a spectacular video. Anyway, brilliant song....one of the best. David's voice....Paul Simon has said that Disturbed now owns this song.
@@zack_reacts This video (no idea how I discovered it cause I had no idea about Disturbed) is what got me into watching reactors. One of those performances that elicits such strong reactions from people.
Thanks Zack - great first reaction to Disturbed. I don't proclaim to be a Disturbed aficianado, but I really like Down With the Sickness... you might want to give that a try. Personally I like the official video, gives a good idea of their concert performance style.
Listen to A Reason to Fight and Hold on to Memories for the same type song, or Down with the Sickness, Inside the Fire, Stupefy for harder rock. Disturbed is a great band.
David Draimen was trained by his grandfather as a Jewish Cantor. That's why his range is so awesome. This was the official video. You should definitely check out the live version on Conan. Also check out down with the sickness, which is what Disturbed actually sounds like.
If you’ve "never heard a build’ arrangement like that, check out classical music…this is a standard low entrance, big build to grand crescendo classical arrangement. Most old world composers symphonies are like this. A good short example is Griegs In The Hall Of The Mountain King. I tell people this is a gateway drug to classical music. He’s trained classically {but is a fantastic metal singer) so in essence you’ve heard an operatic performance backed by an orchestra in a classical style arrangement. A good operatic example is O Fortuna, Carmen Burrano. As always, I enjoy watching the stunned "silence".🤣🤣🤣
Def looking fwd to a Disturbed dive with you! Yeah, this one's amazing and love your genuine reactions. The Conan performance is equally impressive, def should ck that out when you get a chance. David Draiman's voice is immaculate. He has one of those voices that can cut through anything. And I especially love that he's classically trained and decided to juxtapose his operatic talent with some badass metal for a living! Def wanna see you dive in! ❤
This song was actually paired with empty streets of New York City when COVID first started. I was impactful!!! And this is not Disturb's usual genre. If you want to know what he normally sounds like, you should listen to Down With The Sickness.
Take a minute and absorb it. The video itself is meaning they are bringing the instruments in the boat to the sheet music on the island. Coming together and communicating. I liked your reaction, thank you
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is sad resignation. The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is Dammit, LISTEN! ***** The Warning ***** "And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made." ~ Paul Simon "And the people bowed and prayed, to the golden calf they made." ~ Old Testament
Disturbed are brilliant! David Draiman is the vocalist. They’re so good! Here’s some to check out. Down with the sickness Land of confusion (Genesis cover) Stricken Ten thousand fists
I totally recommend the Live Conan O'Brien version . It is next level, it is even more powerful than the video version. Also "Down with the Sickness" is another banger from Disturbed.
Please please PLEASE react to the live version of this on the Conan O’Brian show… the video is wonderful, but the live will blow you away!!!! SO much more intense!!!
The live version they did on Conan is so much more powerful. FYI, Paul Simon, after hearing their version, told David Draiman, that the song is 'theirs' now. David Draiman is a classically trained cantor and singer. His vocals are powerful. Down with the sickness, Stupify, The Light, Hold on to the Memories it goes on. But, you should do a reaction of the live version on Conan, his voice is more powerful.
The choice they made to do the video in black and white was inspired. When you listen to the video you have no Las Vages show nonsense to distract from the medssage. Absolutely my favorite cover.
This song gave me chills. Nobody heard the message in the Simon and Garfunkel version. The meaning I get out of it is "government controle and nobody is talking about it." Hints "THE Sound Of Silence."

Im 68 years old i grew up with the original. But this reaches right to your soul. That man's voice is amazing i could listen to this over vand over. Just beautiful ❤️
Simon and Garfunkel gave a warning. Disturbed made it an admonishment.
Bingo! We are where they were warning us, We have now arrived at being silenced. We dare not speak from the soul.
I've known S&G song "Sound of Silence", and I love the melancholic type but I never paid attention to the words but this version of "Disturbed", it really reaches to my soul.

There is something spiritual about that song and it takes it to another level! It’s captivating. 😢

It's OK to cry man. We all did it.
Oh yeah everytime.
You’re the second person who interpreted the song to be about music, that thought never entered my mind. To me the message of the song remains the same as when Simon and Garfunkel sang it in 1964. Disturbed brought it into 21st-century when almost all hope is gone and they did it brilliantly!
You're the first person that had any idea why the first scene is silent!

Yep, two of the best for sure

This song is about the internet. Neon gods is the internet, people talking without speaking (texting) Amazing this was wrote in the '60's!
You can apply that today… but that wasn’t the original intention. It was written over 50 years ago .
I wasn't around when Simon and Garfunkel did this, but I've heard it. I will say Disturbed's version is the best I've heard.

David Dramon is head shaking AMAZING! OPRATICLY trained
Have you watched the video that 'explains' the words of the song? Just so amazing!
He's awesome
Thanks for doing this one, everytime I hear it it gives me chills and chokes me up, what a voice... Great reaction Zack ❤ from UK
Me too. Every time.
Goose bumps 😮
sounds also liketo bringing out what the hollyweid is all about doing things they are conract not to talk about or if they were brong it out nobody listening LOVE THIS
I recommend "a Reason to Fight", "Stupify", "Hold on to Memories ",
I was never a fan of the genre of music that Disturb is known for, but "The Light" is one of my favorite Disturbed songs.
I'm so so glad you didn't jump in to the middle of the song, wish other people would do the same❤ this version is amazing and truly the Best
For another style, from Disturbed check out “The Light”. An inspirational upbeat song.
Definitely in the Top 5 covers of all time.
His version of the song was the extension of the original. The original was the warning and David's version is the cry of sorrow/anger that we didn't listen.
How true
This is an amazing cover. David's voice is phenomenal! I love their song Reason to Fight. The live version of Sound of Silence on Conan is also worth watching. Great reaction!
Good reaction
Love me some "Disturbed"
Masterpiece. One of only a handful of covers that are actually better than the original!
I've watched many many reactions to this song and yours ranks one of my favorites. Thank you for posting.
David Draiman was trained as a cantor as a kid. And to this day he still takes vocal lessons. The man has an incredible voice with a crazy range.
Good review ... props brother.
It does matter if you see it. The facial expressions add greatly to the nuances

Listen to A Reason to Fight and Hold on to Memories for the same type song, or Down with the Sickness, Inside the Fire, Stupefy for harder rock. Disturbed is a great band.

theory holds... he wont admit it, but "fools" said I "you do not know.." his eyes got misty..
If you’ve "never heard a build’ arrangement like that, check out classical music…this is a standard low entrance, big build to grand crescendo classical arrangement. Most old world composers symphonies are like this. A good short example is Griegs In The Hall Of The Mountain King. I tell people this is a gateway drug to classical music.

You definitely need to check out the live performance from the Conan show and more disturbed songs.
Also, David Draiman is a classicly trained Cantor.
Like the original was a warning and this is where we coming to. Even it's same lyricks...

❤ this. Now do the live on Conan one.
Check out Dan Vasc’s phenomenal version. I believe his inspiration came from Disturbed’s version.

Simon and Garfunkels orginal was a warning. Disturbed's version is more like rage the warning hadn't be heeded.
Lost for Words,,,,,,
Has Paul Simon ever commented on this version
Check out disturbed prayer
The choice they made to do the video in black and white was inspired. When you listen to the video you have no Las Vages show nonsense to distract from the medssage. Absolutely my favorite cover.
Dig it!!
A Reason To Fight. Manditory reaction....
Love your channel! However, we have to talk about the choice of football team. #CincinnatiBengals #WhoDey Lol Love to you and your family!
Please do eva cassidy, over the rainbow, this and eva ate the 2 best covers of alltime
This song gave me chills. Nobody heard the message in the Simon and Garfunkel version. The meaning I get out of it is "government controle and nobody is talking about it." Hints "THE Sound Of Silence."
Do the live version from Conan....
Literally just did that like 2 hours ago
