When Paul Simon heard Disturbed's version he called David and told him, you own this song now! He loved it!!!

[@mamalinhager]

He even put it on his web page he liked it so much. Check out Dan Vasc if you havent already. He and David are my favorite metal singers

[@louannlang7471]

Ive heard this "quote" about several covers......this here I think may be Urban Legend. Check the source. Paul Simon DID recognize and reach out to someone in Disturbed"s staff.(I watched a clip somewhere). I don't believe the words written in this reply is a direct quote. Please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

[@missautumn764]

It is 2,5 octaves actually, what he does in this song. It's incredible.

[@TheHonestTake]

Can you tag where that range happens? Thanks!

[@missautumn764]

@@TheHonestTake 2,5 wasn't precisely correct, it's 2 octaves G-G-G + higher A and Bb.

[@89801wink]

As an old hippie myself, I love this version. To me the S & G version was a warning, and this version was the "You Damn fools...you didn't listen." This version to me gives the angst the lyrics convey. And I disagree...never be afraid to state what you believe, no matter the possible backlash.

[@steveullrich7737]

Exactly, old hippie here too.

[@fertilizerhappens8359]

For me, the original is a passive observation. This one feels like the call to action. In the end, he's still reaching out, trying to teach. And the music video (which I saw after this version) drives that home with the visual of the musicians crossing the water toward the people. I think this version speaks the message better than any other.

[@lschoenrank]

Completely agree. It feels like Simon & Garfunkel were warning us about what was happening and where we were headed, whereas Disturbed's version is full of angst and anger because people have not listened. Amazing cover.

[@HollyB5484_]

This. 💯. I was going to comment pretty much the same thing. The message needed to come across different..more urgent now as things are coming to a breaking point and the one's who see it or have solutions are staying quiet, hoping it'll all go away or someone else will do or say something about it. ✌️&❤️

[@diamondstud322]

There’s one comment that stays in my mind when I hear this song…The Simon and Garfunkel version made you think; the Disturbed version makes you feel.

[@nikita8370]

I love this more than the original. His range and approach is so impressive. I absolutely love the story you shared. Very powerful as well. Thank you.

[@TheHonestTake]

Thanks!!!

[@marionholder3905]

Cried like a baby when I first heard this. Still gets me every time. I never knew my dear sister in law Janet loved this till after she passed. I wish we could have listened to it together. 💕

[@TheHonestTake]

As long as you remember her, she lives on! It's a great version of the song!

[@marionholder3905]

Thank you! And bless you for taking the time to reply. 💕

[@susanlindner8626]

I saw Disturbed perform this song with the same instrumentation at one of their shows and it was amazing !!

[@TheHonestTake]

Are you for real? How was he?

[@susanlindner8626]

@TheHonestTake They sounded incredible!! I was there working the show. I'm a photographer for a radio station. And I passed David Draiman (the singer) in a hallway. He was carrying his son(who was2-3 years old) and they were both giggling.. it was so cute.

[@boygaryfrednorris]

I saw them live 3 times…last time in ‘16 and they finished show with this

[@michaelknack7970]

I've lived through some shit. I've seen Elvis live. This is the best live performance I've ever heard....

[@elven4648]

Couple things here. One, it’s even more amazing because David was actually sick during the performance! And two, I’ve seen around this comparison: Simon and Garfunkel’s version was a quiet warning. Disturbed’s version was rage that the warning was ignored.

[@clarissamason5661]

I'm love to know someone is passionate about this version as I ... incredible range and control... ❤❤❤

[@andrewferguson3535]

Pitch, range and tone with an amazing arrangement equals magic.

[@melissatopham4018]

He was sick and running a fever during that performance.

[@StephiesCorner]

Johnny Cash's rendition of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails isnt just heartbreaking, it heart shredding. Please review it. Its another one that is as good if not better than the original. Sung by someone who has lived a whole lot longer it takes on a whole new depth of pain. RIP Johnny Cash

[@tkpreston14]

Like Paul Simon telling David Draiman that Sound of Silence now belongs to him, Trent Reznor made the same acknowledgment to Johnny Cash about Hurt.

[@kateadair3978]

Ooh hoo hoo the shivers he creates in me!!! He is a vocal Olympian and my musical God!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheHonestTake]

He’s the real deal, amazing!

[@kateadair3978]

Yep, class act all the way!! I'm kinda obsessed with him, but not in a creepy way lol

[@dianerhodes1459]

It wasn't angry..it was passionate..will never stop listening to it over and over feeling it in my soul❤

[@joepollard3228]

As an old (81) fogie and folkie, i first heard the S&G version off their Wednesday Morning album in 1964. I loved it, and thought it couldn't be improved upon. In '65, I discovered I was wrong. Then I watched Conan, and this happened. I was unaware of the Disturbed version, and when Conan introduced them, I thought this would be a good time to go to the kitchen. Boy, was I wrong! I sat, transfixed, through the entire number. I realize that, as of now, there are 4 versions. Original, electrified, Pentatonix and Disturbed. Each with their own identity, and each great. I play them all, and enjoy them all. I came to realize that I didn't just like folk music, I liked Good music, and it didn't matter who made it.

[@lfv9010]

Dinged that chord in my DNA placed there by God IMHO. Simon&Garfunkel penned it but this guy drove the point home. We, humankind, like those instruments are broken. But there's an answer that's whispered in the most unlikely of places. His facial expressions goes from merely conversational as he relates the dream to a realization of what the dream means to incredulity then anger/rage that humankind is turning a deaf ear...Great performance by ALL of them...the piano player with the pensive notes, the guitar adding lift and the drummer bringing it home...AMEN & AMEN!!!!!💕

[@kateadair3978]

I've seen reactions to this 100s of times but every time he sings the line like a cancer grows and you see that devastating look on his face, in his eyes the tears just stream down my face

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David Draiman...what an amazing singer! Most people don't realize he's one of the only front man that can actually put vibrato on his distortion! ...so difficult to do! He sings so clear and angelic when he wants, and hard and powerful when he decides to. The man has a phenomenal voice! Thank you for your reaction!

[@tkpreston14]

I read somewhere that someone made up a story about Dave’s voice: God asked him if he wanted the voice of an angel or a demon. And Dave said “yes.”

[@rebeccamccann8710]

I’m an old woman…I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel and always loved their music. Still, I believe Disturbed have made an iconic classic into a modern, emotional, powerful masterpiece. If people are too closed-minded to even give someone else’s perspective a chance, they don’t deserve to be taken seriously.

[@mageyuri]

What I love about this cover is how it feels like it continues the story of the original. S&G sang it like it was a dream they had, like a prophecy they were singing to the night. David sings it like he heard the prophecy, and he is seeing around him how people ignored it and it came to pass, now he is both angry and heartbroken by it. I can’t listen to this cover without getting chills and teary eyed. They did amazing work.

[@carinalind8726]

They are just like WOW!!! Sounding this good live is not normal its phenomenal!! I love the original but this version is a new song and it is sooo good so just be happy and blessed that one our favourite songs got a new life!!❤❤❤

[@tkpreston14]

And David had the flu so there was some talk of cancelling their appearance. He had a fever of 102 but didn’t want to disappoint anyone so his only concession to his illness was that he was seated on a stool.

[@statusaeswave2979]

I see Simon and Garfunkle's version is the meditation . . . this version is the awakeing . . . and both are perfect.

[@ceekayy79]

I love this song in most of it's forms tbh but this one 🧡🧡🧡

[@tarahill2193]

Oh my gosh how could anyone say it was wrong? I love this version 😊

[@pandasanding7036]

Who said it was wrong?

[@davidrodenkirk5561]

I grew up through the 60's and 70's and I never stopped growing and being open to the musics directions my kids feel open to share what they love without being chastised and I have been blessed with their adoration for my earliest musical loves.😎

[@danitheuerkauf7095]

This version really needs the video. Theres an interesting twist on the visuals and the sound together.

[@lfv9010]

Liking both but I get a different meaning from the video than I do this live performance where I'm focusing more on the lyrics 💘

[@vickigower8125]

spot on in your observations. David and Disturbed took this song and made it something that touches you to the core. It is amazingly raw and beautiful.

[@leannmiller7153]

Love your reaction. All the old hippies I know love this version❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@lisagking8853]

It’s hard to believe that anyone would react in such a negative way to this. I sent this to my older siblings that loved the original version, as well as my nieces and nephews. They were all blown away. You really have to be open minded to accept anything so extremely different from what you’re use to, no matter how good it is. The first time I heard this version was on Conan. It gave me goosebumps. I tried to hide my reaction from my Guy. When I started to tear up, I looked over at him and he was doing the same. ♥️👍

[@tkpreston14]

I have listened to Disturbed’s version probably a hundred times now and I cry every damn time. I was in high school when the original came out and have loved it for many years. But this version embedded itself into my soul.

[@gaylecunningham3614]

And he sang while suffering a very high temperature : he was quite ill and had trouble standing and singing. David Draiman is his name...and Paul Simon has this version on his personal playlist...Sorta says it all, doesn't it? :)

[@tammyhill3798]

What’s even more impressive is that he had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cords. Everyone says he was sick but I just watched an interview with him and that’s where I got my info, straight from the horses mouth 😂 I wonder if your friends have ever heard the PENTATONIX version?

[@alanmurphy6988]

I only heard this version two weeks ago and was immediately hooked and blown away 👌🙏

[@ColinRichardson]

I've heard someone say that the S&G version was a warning for the future, and the Disturbs version is the anger that the future happened.

[@kateadair3978]

What a song!! God I love David and Disturbed!!! You're reaction was great

[@manuelruen]

1:45 I actually think he normally has a tenor voice. He might sound a little deeper because he was actually sick during this performance.

[@aaronhommel4615]

No need for any additional comments. You nailed it bro! Awesome.

[@kenbamforth3239]

[@AnnaMarie66]

Just nothing more you can say about an orchestra playing ANY genre! It absolutely perfects it!♥️

[@darkwarrior478]

Story tellers are masters at the acting portion, David is a master at both the control and telling of this story, it brings tears to the eyes because of the impact you can feel every word, emotional connection was hammered home, best cover period!

[@tomyocum6003]

Who knew Uncle Fester could sing so well? :)

[@sslerlin]

David Draimen is classically trained.. hes was also sick the night of conan

[@marycook6715]

The Conan Show verion is the absolute best version of this song! His emphasis and power in this song massive. The fools who heed the words from S&G. And those, make this song what it is. After a couple years of hearing this I still get teary eyed and goose bumps.

[@kennethcook9406]

Of course David Draiman has an insanely good voice, he's a trained Jewish Temple Cantor. So was his father and grandfather

[@tkpreston14]

I was a hippy and this song was one of my all time favorites. Until I heard this. And I agree with Paul Simon who told David Draiman that the song was now his. I’ve listened to it around a hundred times now - and I have cried. Every. Single. Time. Best version of it. An incredible version. And your hippy friends are close minded fools.

[@jackieperkins3861]

Keep in mind he was sick and running a fever during this performance!

I like this better than the official video. I love his body language looking around making eye contact with everyone,the hand movements, especially at the end. I wish he would start a dual track career, do his thing with disturbed, but maybe more material like this as a solo act.

One thing I have learned, and I'm 52 now, is that the "openminded people" are the LEAST openminded. From a total different scene....but they really are.

A very nice reaction to Disturbed's amazing cover of this amazing song. You really need to check out Dan Vasc's channel. This is in his catalog and you will not be disappointed with his cover of it.
