MUSICIANS REACT to Disturbed "The Sound of Silence" for the FIRST TIME

Feel free to let us know what we should react to next! Go listen to our newest songs: bit.ly/MoonpoolSong bit.ly/JuliannaSingle Go watch this video yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qnmGCdbNllopY

stop doing that you are simply too hollow

[@taahism]

The best reaction id like to see you do next is CLOSE THIS PAGE CHILD!

[@Debbie338]

I’m surprised that as musicians, you seem to have so little appreciation for one of the greatest voices in musical history.

[@gl2996]

Well, and little appreciation for one of the best songs, too.

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

Could not agree more. They missed it totally. Almost sounded immature! I teach 8th graders, and they connected with the song more than these, "musicians." Ugh

[@zeedevel7141]

Tenacious D?? Jesus, just killed the mood

[@Buttercupblossom]

Erm are those two really musicians? I thought that to be a musician you had to have a soul

[@AtomicEffect]

This song/performance went completely over their heads. The entire point of the building of the vocals and instruments with each verse...I don't need to explain it. The responses to this reaction video speak for themselves, and I appreciate that there are still critical listeners of music like this.

[@heatherdelgado9303]

Well now we know why you're so familiar with silence at your show. If you perform as badly as you did this reaction, you'll continue to be familiar with silence. And you'll deserve it.

[@t.nobody120]

Indeed

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

Agreed. I found their response to be childish.

[@nancymerrillsayed7585]

They're young.

Exactly! This is this worst reaction to this amazing performance so far. I wish now that I had not watched it.

This proves that anyone can make a website and start producing KZbin videos. It also show that anyone can call themselves musicians.

[@MrBCKaraoke]

In an interview, Paul Simon was so impressed how Disturbed did this song, he said, "It is theirs now!" They truly brought the song to life and gave it it's true form.

[@juliedelaney4612]

Responding to the fellas reaction on the comments to Simon Garfunkel Simon at Paul Simon actually met David chef Ramsay's New Year's Eve party couple years back. Paul Simon was so taken by the version of the song that he actually put it up on his on his Facebook website and he's never done that to anyone that's ever remade one of his songs and the connection to David was huge between him and Paul because he Paul thought that he brought this to a brand new generation and what a well job he's done with it

[@juliedelaney4612]

Now if I were to watch you guys again I was just rolling through KZbin I would never be intrigued to come back to your channel because if that's your reaction to the most powerful song I've ever heard in my life I'm 54 years old you didn't do it for me you didn't even scratch the surface unless you're just that type that takes a lot to get you off your couch and you didn't do it for me.

[@bartyr5150]

Everyone can’t help themselves from stopping the song with 15 seconds left.

[@ninawest8]

Congradulations you are first people who have not been blown away by this, every musician, composer, music teachers , proffessional singers have been awed by this. I just wonder what trips your trigger?🤔

[@valeriadasilva1852]

You were supposed to "react " not analyze... your reaction was one of the coldest that I ever seen...this song and David Draiman's voice is so powerful that gives you goosebumps, you're just no felling it.

[@inkenhafner7187]

"Oh, a piano. Oh, man is singing. Oh, a guitar. Oh, hamburger between my teeth. Oh, strings, t'is more music now. And I heard this about the original song, didn't understand it, but sounds smart as heck, so I'll just gonna throw it in here." "He sounds like this Tenecious D.-dude, hehe he hehe." This was a throwback to 90s MTV.

[@kevinpitts1252]

Paul Simon likes this version so much, it's on his playlist and he supports it 100%. David Draiman went into the booth and didn't come out for hours, until he felt comfortable w/it. He was classically trained as a vocalist, and has a very wide range.

[@steve6992]

It's a masterpiece, I get goosebumps every time I hear it

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

My god you missed the mark on this one. This is a BRILLIANT interpretation of this song. Watch the live performance from the Conan O'Brien show and thus time, CONNECT THE LYRICS, THE MEANING, AMD THE PERFORMANCE.

Glad I read the comments before wasting any time watching this LOL

[@edchaput3577]

To compare this brilliance to tenacious D, Is the epitome of music ignorance.

[@terryallen7356]

I had never heard of Disturbed before when I heard this song and loved it. I listened to it over and over and then decided to see what else Disturbed did and wow, was I surprised. I had no idea they were heavy metal and now some of those songs, like Get Down with The Sickness are my favorites. The Sound of Silence really showcases David Draiman's voice. He's amazing. Thanks for the reaction.

[@jalliboy]

Holly hell!!! Do you even listen to rock?? Or have you been living under a rock???

[@deltadaze6836]

Yes you are possibly the only one that gets TD vibes......as a professional you should have been able to put that back in your mind so you didn't seem like you weren't taking it seriously.....that part 'neon god they made' etc, always gives me the chills and with the video reinforcing why the world is so screwed right now, his voice backs that and why his version is more my vibe than S&G (even though S&G were my generation, lol)

[@craighaight7291]

I agree, the TD reference was childish and grossly unprofessional. This song was extremely well done. The Charismatic Voice has a great reaction to this as well.

[@carolynsanders2972]

This song by #Disturded the Sound of Silence hit my heart hard 💔. My husband was playing this song on the computer. I stopped & asked him who was singing that song. He told me #Disturded & I started crying. They were one of our son's favorite bands. Our son Michael was killed by a Drunk Driver in 2013. Disturded was coming to the venue where our son was killed. In 2016 I reached out to #Disturded & their management to dedicate this song to our son on #Montage Mountain #Scranton, PA. I wanted to hear his name said on that venue. God bless them they honored him. I will forever be grateful to them 🙏 🙏🙏 Their live version is on KZbin. It was hard to pass the area where he was killed but I did it for Michael. 😢💔😢

It's a shame, it was going so good too.

[@johnlaseter2453]

The original is a warning that this is coming. Disturbed's version is more like a punch in the face, saying, " This is here. THIS IS NOW. We need to fix this." This is the only cover of the song that Paul Simon linked to on his social media pages. Great reaction, thank you both.

Have listened to this song for a while now, but this is the first time i'm seeing the video. It is a beautiful video and this song takes covers to a completely different level. This is a painfully beautiful interpretation and i love it!

[@EvieDelacourt]

Oddly enough, this cover is indirectly responsible for me discovering your channel! This was the song I heard when casually browsing on Facebook, and it hit me so hard I wanted to listen to it over and over, so I searched for it on KZbin. In doing so, I also discovered music reaction channels, so I went down that rabbit hole, searching for reactions to this song. That eventually led me to Elizabeth Zharoff's channel ("The Charismatic Voice"), and I liked her reaction style so much, I wanted to see what else she had reacted to. Around that same time, the YT algorithm was also filling my sidebar suggestions with this young Kazakh kid named Dimash something. I watched Elizabeth's reaction videos to his music and fell totally in love. (I know you can relate! 😄) Then I wanted to see what others had to say about Dimash, and that eventually led me to your channel. But I might never have started down that road of music reaction video channel exploration if I hadn't seen this video about a year ago and had a sense of wonder at music's power to evoke emotions reawakened.

He is classically trained and is a Cantor as well. This was out of their comfort zone. NOT a river of death but that boat crosses the divide where on one side is people who haven't heard and they are telling them TO HEAR . This is hope because the sound of Silence is crossed over. This is the best version ever and I was a teenager in the 60' s . Simon and Garfunkel told us what was wrong back then and now they warn us that what the prophets wrote on the walls is for us to wake up from the neon gods we have followed!!

We no longer interact face to face with each other but through technology, social media on our cell phones and computers. I could go on and on. 😢

regret clicking on this video after you compared Disturbed's Sounds on Silence to TD.

[@dalefreeman7211]

Probably the most vacuous review of this rendition I’ve seen.

[@michellemiles9966]

First time on your channel. As a fellow musician I was kind of thinking you might have more to comment on the story within the video. A couple of suggestions, the live version on Conan is great and you would like it a lot. But if you want to be different from all of the countless others who have already reacted to it there is another live version that is also great. You should check out Disturbed in Houston featuring Myles Kennedy. Additionally, if you want to check out other Disturbed songs you will get tons of requests for Down With the Sickness. You should postpone that until you've heard some of their other music. I recommend Indestructible, Immortalized, Are You Ready, The Light, Stricken... or any of like 8 or so other covers they've done which are awesome. Disturbed is an amazing band and extremely talented.

[@karenreinholt4207]

If you were to listen to Simon & Garfunkel, their song was a protest of what society had become. I grew up in that era. And their song was perfect for what their message was. This version by Disturbed is taking the original protest into consideration. And the emotions of the words and the music are about the rage that nothing was done about what the protest was about. The music video showed the chasm between the words being written on one side and the music on the other. The boat at the end was the music / instruments being transported across the water to where the words were to finally bring everything together. And no, it wasn’t a ‘River of death’. I didn’t get any indication that either of you understood the story, the emotions. That’s too bad because you’re missing the entire message.

[@LeeCarlson]

Upon hearing this cover, Paul Simon, himself, said that this was the best cover of his song that he had ever heard, and actually linked this video in his personal social media. It does not hurt that David Draiman was a traditionally trained Jewish cantor before he set off to conquer the world of heavy metal music.

[@mr.slappii513]

When I first heard this cover. I just listened to "Legion of Monster" right before. So I was expecting like a rock version. But this was infinitely better than I could've imagined.

2 things. 1) Melissa Cross is David Draiman's vocal coach, who is WORLD famous for teaching DOZENS of rock bands and lead singers to perfect their singing their vocal techniques. 2) If you like that version, look it up on KZbin when they play it live on Conan O'Brien. It is AWESOME !!!

Best way is to watch and listen to the music video then do your remarks,instead of STOP start talk blah blah

[@CH-om9sc]

yup ... the only one with TD vibes, which seems to indicate the lyrics were lost on you.

[@cnchess]

The video is about the death of modern music. Computers have replaced people, the same four chords are used in almost every song, and there is no complexity at all. Yet the people need the communication that music can provide. So, the video starts off with the broken and abandoned instruments and complete silence. Then, gradually as David sets the stage with his powerful voice, the video shows the band members picking up instruments and carrying them to the shore... the gulf between real music and communication and the people. The people who have music scores in their hands awaiting the arrival of the musicians. It ties the message in the song, which you two seem oblivious to, to the visual representation of the music theme. I fear that you two spent too much time "hearing without listening." Maybe try it again without trying to be snarky.

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

You nailed it. Hearing without listening, and they were talking without anything to say. They need to try again, thus time with a little humility.

Actually the original song was about the explosion of television from the 3 major US Networks to 12 Cable channels and the subsequent obsession with just watching TV (the NEON GOD) and ignoring the people around you. In today’s context that could be Social Media where people derive their worth and value from the number of “Likes” they receive, and like the early 60’s are obsessed with technology and don’t actually talk with people?

A song that ROCKS during these hard times their cover of "if I ever lose My Faith in you" sending luv and positivity to y'all PS " A reason to Fight" live

This song offered comfort of a sort to a lovely guy I knew, during the years he spent dying. I think a part of that was the diction. Some of the emotional parts can be heard as "passionately atheist", and he was a pretty keen atheist, so that would've helped, too. I wasn't all that interested in the cover before ("it was OK"), but I've learned how to hear it since those days. I suppose for anyone avoiding metal for its aggressive side, it's natural never to come across the other side of metal (right from the very beginning) - the ballads? Although since Metallica's ballads became popular, maybe it's just forgetfulness? It's pretty much a tradition that a metal album must have at least one more gentle, more melancholy song on it. (Might be an idea to go looking for those to find out whether there's some joy in listening to that part of the genre, actually. The joy you get crying at a sad movie, I mean. :-) ) I could offer something different (not big enough to use for a reaction video, but musically perhaps at least interesting) it's by Welsh rock band, *Budgie* , and if you have the patience it ranges over a very wide range of tempos, moods, and even music styles. (And the rock aspect is more "energetic" than aggressive, too. Although with these things, the bark is always less than the bite. The most peace-loving, gentle people on Earth are often metal-heads; and the most vicious, downright mean ones generally groove to something much, much more slick and smooth and slithery than this, too.) Anyway theory-of-everything-blah-blah ... Here's *Breadfan* kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2WrZHiLdt-jjMk ("Bread" was a 60's term for money - as in "daily bread" I suppose - that is probably forgotten by now?)

If you look at what is happening in the world today this very song was a warning, and then David got a hold of it and now you feel it, we all need to stop the silence and come together.

[@Dreams4U2]

Well, considering that Disturbed recorded their version first, in December 2015, and Pentatonix recorded their version of 'this' version in February 2019, I think you have it the other way round. Pentatonix didn't even vary their version much from this one.

[@phillipbateman2284]

People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never shared. I think this is what David wanted to say, so we could hear what the song is about, and understand the warning. Listen to the story.

[@rostikskobkariov5136]

they've heard this version before, id bet 5$ this isnt a first reaction

[@davidbaron6647]

I personally like this better then the Live version. Understand he was very sick that day and was told not to do it live but he did anyway. I would like to hear a live version remade when he was not ill.

[@jamiekendrick5057]

It’s not musically sparse, guys. It’s an entire orchestra backing David. Check out their performance on the Conan O’Brien Show. You’ll see (and hear) what I mean.

[@ShockBot127]

Epic cover. Jimi Hendrix " All along the watchtower" is one of the only other covers that ever moved me that much.

[@nevada8462]

Ducker….. dissin my Disturbed! They’re genius!

It's a thing of beauty! Get ready for a religious experience! Moves me to my very soul! 💜💜💜

[@Blondemom2855]

Simon and Garfunkle's version of this song, was a "silent" type of warning to society. Disturbed's version is telling us its too late. You just didn't get what THIS version was trying to say. The buildup and changes in David Draimans voice was for the dramatic effect to make you really listen to the words and hear them.

[@blazefireheart4027]

The sound of silence was my first song of disturbs I heard and I still love it

[@michaeldreelan6337]

There is a really important message a warning to be precise. What insight from Paul Simon in 1963 when he wrote it. Now Disturbed has rammed it into our heads with the greatest cover of a song EVER. Are we listening now...

[@akya]

"Simon and Garfunkel song has become a meme".. oh dear god.. had to stop at this part lol...

[@energianaturalhealthcoach]

And the live versions are more powerful yet.

[@timothytaylor5632]

This song could not have been illustrated or sung any better than Disturbed

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

The 1960s hit, "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel conveys a powerful warning against the dangers of indifference, which still comes in handy today. To many people they thought the meaning leaned more towards JFK's Assassination but that could be further from the truth. It's about facing our fears & basically they for seen the future in this song.

[@villaincorp7728]

"Heavy Metal singers can't actually sing," some people say... David Draiman of Disturbed: "Here, Hold my OH! WHA! AH! AH! AH!"

[@ClassicCaryGrant]

Reason behind writing the song - two words ... Vietnam War ___ Glad you listened to Disturbed version too. Thanks!

[@timduddy]

This is the most brain-dead take on this song I have seen. Congrats.

[@alltruenews]

This dude is a walking Jay Leno impression.

[@teddybeanbear2702]

Watch the live version on Conan O'Brian. You can see them actually playing their instruments with an orchestra behind them. Super powerful! Loved y'all's video!

[@JohnStone-tl9sh]

are you guys really "musicians"? Cause this went straight over the top of your head.

[@theblackrooster2996]

What made me a Disturbed fan was their first single "Stupify" from their debut album The Sickness

[@donnilloyd1355]

IMO, this is te BEST Cover of this song EVER. Nice Post. And I also suggest seeing the LIVE version, from the Conan O'Brian show. Draiman was sick during that show, and STILL did a FANTASTIC showing.

[@AndreaSilvestro]

ty!

[@juneoconnor4503]

Someone said the Simon and Garfunkel one was a warning and that this one is showing the rage because people didn't listen. I can't remember the exact quote but that's close

[@jessicamartin1728]

Yes. You are the only one who gets Tenacious D vibes.

[@brandonmiller2450]

One of my favorite songs. David's voice is amazing

[@danewood2309]

Paul Simon said in an Interview that he and Art had written a song of its time, but Disturbed had created an Anthem for a new Generation. I don't think this Version can have any higher Praise than that

[@daggaboom]

Seen this a few times and I’ve never been able to put my finger on the moment it went Tenacious D. Perfect comment, can’t unhear tenacious D now.

[@MyPancho1]

I guess maybe you'd say that Symphony No. 5 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven has "jumped the shark", too? .....William Shakespeare's works also maybe?......At certain times in their lives some folks just have limited registers and so must toss something older in order to appreciate a newer thing... others can like the novel thing "as well"... Still, I really enjoy seeing your reactions... Thanks again...

[@junco1312]

Be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: that David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance and I heard he was not pleased with his performance, being the perfectionist that he is I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole performancewas amazing and his was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Team Coco

Just looking at Sean’s face,I was dying laughing..

[@harrythoman1916]

I can't stand to listen to this guy talk I have to fast forward to get back to the music.

[@dcinsc]

Eh...before you hate on that "Creed song". it actually hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 which is the standard record chart for ALL songs. So, yeah, it kinda was big and did work. I enjoyed the vid, but like most things in the modern world that drive people apart...misinformation sucks.

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

if this is your first time listening to Disturbed, this isn't their typical sound. I would recommend 'Stricken.' 'Ten Thousand Fists,' or 'Inside The Fire' if you wanna hear their typical sound (there is a TW for this last song if you watch the mv)
