''The Sound Of Silence Live'' - Disturbed REACTION

[@Leftylobber]

David Draiman is the nicest guy ever. When I was 17, he dragged me through a crowd to sign autographs and gave me a big hug, looked me in the eye and appreciated me as a fan. Forever my hero

[@Davesmusicreactions]

What a nice thing to do :) -Dave

[@ShadowRyu]

David is as much a gentleman as he is a rock star badass. Saw them in sturgis years back. They were supposed to headline while the scorpions(who at the time we're playing what was supposed to be their final concert) were the opener. David literally sat in the bus until the promoters changed the line up. The concert was delayed over an hour because of it. When disturbed finally got on stage David said there was no way in hell the scorpions were opening on their final concert. Respect.

This is possibly my favorite cover ever 🖤🖤🖤 He was trained as a cantor.

[@Davesmusicreactions]

He's obviously a great leader then :) to be fair his voice is powerful enough -Dave

[@blackiephillips5339]

@@Davesmusicreactions He WAS training to be a cantor by his grandfather as he is a Cantor and pretty high up in the ultra Jewish faith. Young Dave decided he wanted to make music and left training and grandpa was ticked and didn't speak with each and maybe still? Not sure on that part. But all metal heads are happy with young Dave's choice...and a pretty nice guy to boot.

[@dalemerklin4730]

I had read a comment on another reviewer's page about this performance on Conan. The comment went something like, can you imagine being in the audience that night not knowing you were about to witness one of the greatest live performances in TV history. I just happened to be channel surfing when I clicked on Conan as he was just starting the introduction that night. During the performance I was almost brought to tears and covered in goosebumps.

[@ruthiewohlforth5464]

David Draiman...a voice to die for. A powerful yet soulful voice that can go from warm baritone to angelic tenor, from clear as a crystal to rasp/distortion and back on a dime. He has a timbre in his voice that I've never heard before.....just hauntingly beautiful tonal properties to it! An awesome talent and obvious training to deliver what he does!! Can sing like an angel or the devil ! Loved your reaction and your take on David's performance. Good job! Try "Deceiver", "The Night", "Indestructible", "The Light" and "Violence Fetish" by Disturbed too.

[@__eganista6372]

Currently binge watching Reactions to this particular song and I am not disappointed. Besides being the best cover ever and endorsed by the original artists and the fact that David was quite ill and had to be seated (hard to sing in itself) singing, he is a trained cantor who is actually just a bloody lovely guy. Genuine and empathetic. The Disturbed absolutely knocked this out the park! They f'in rock!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@louiselazar9148]

His voice was made for Kol Nidre and Avinu Malkeinu. My deepest wish is that someday, he is the Cantor at any Yom Kippur service that is recorded.

[@ellienesmith4016]

Same here...have watched over 100 of these reactions at least...much more I think!

[@laryon]

If this song doesn't make you feel something, then you are no longer alive. Excellent cover, by an awesome band.

[@sandihandi7831]

I love the facial expressions and reactions you guys gave this performance. I find myself holding my breath, break out in chills, then feel like I have a fever. EVERY TIME I hear this. WOW

[@woodysthoughts4032]

You guys should also react to the original version, written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel way back in the 1960s. It is much different from this angry version. It is soft, melodic, a bit sad with great harmony between their two voices. It is said that their original was a warning of things to come, but this version expresses rage that the warning was not heeded.

[@lauriandawkins7264]

YESSSSSSS!!! Exactly!!!

[@purpleangel6477]

He kicks ass with this song. And he nails it live. I got the chance to see Disturbed. Loved it. Loved them. And they know how to put on a show. His voice is amazing and I tear up everytime

[@jerryactrik1901]

The band behind - Piano was their normal guitarist Dan Donegan. On percussion is their drummer Mike Wengran. On guitar is their normal bass player John Moyer. I haven't been able to find anything on the orchestra but you're right, they added so much to this performance. If you want to check out more Disturbed, I recommend Another Way to Die, Vengeful One, Asylum, Stricken, Inside the Fire, or Indestructible. I've been a fan of this band for 20 years and can't believe the level of success they've had over the last 4-5 years. Edit: They also have some other great covers if you want to ease into their normal style. Land of Confusion (Genesis cover), ISHFWILF (U2 cover), If I Ever Lose my Faith in You (Sting cover), and Shout 2000 (Tears for Fears cover) are all fantastic. They usually do one cover on each album. I'm sure I'm missing a couple, but those are off the top of my head.

[@ShadowRyu]

His cover of "if I close my eyes forever" he did with lizzy hale is my favorite cover david has done. Although he was with his other hand Device, not Disturbed.

[@katyrawlins804]

Crazy to think he did this while sick. So much talent.

[@lynnsmith8963]

One of the best songs of all times!

[@vimes3303]

If you love this, also listen to Disturbed Light and Hold on the memories. And cover If I ever lose my faith in you too.

[@davidens8204]

This cover was nominated for Song of the year 2016 but David Bowie got the grammy posthumously RIP David Bowie .. anyways this man is pure talent everytime I hear this cover I get tears in my eyes not sure why guess music does that to people .. great reaction guys

[@altarehkugler4675]

Absolutely gorgeous performance!!!

[@karend1577]

This is my favorite version of their song on it. I even bought this music version for my iPad. I just love how those drums are clearly heard in this version. Thanks.

[@txsprydamrcn7450]

They autotuned his voice in a few spots due to him having the flu and if you watch his face very closely you can see he wasn't happy in the spots it was used and rumor is producers were made well aware of that after performance.

[@marklinford145]

Flu is a killer, flu will mean you cannot physically move from your bed it’s horrific, he had the sniffles nothing more nothing less.

[@silversong4VR]

I think the auto-tune was applied post? From what I read, when David listened/watched this AFTER the performance, he was pretty ticked off as he had TOLD them in advance not to use auto-tune, he'd rather be true and take the chance on making those notes even when sick. They didn't listen and applied it anyway. Regardless, amazing control shown here.

[@brendawebb3231]

He was In the hospital the night before with a high fever, his band was worried about him so they made him sit down for this show.

[@MelliundSpike]

Hello from Hamburg Germany, I grow up with the original Simon&, Garfunkel 🥰👍🏼 The Day I hear this Version 😱 oh my gosh...there was so much memories in my Head🥰🤘🏼

[@Duane_Grabert]

A couple years ago, i had the chance to see these guys live. Yeah. This song is epic live. I had to drive a 4 hour round trip to the venue though.

[@Davesmusicreactions]

Well worth the trip though i bet? :) -Dave

[@Duane_Grabert]

Oh hell yeah. Especially when Rob Zombie was there as well.

[@leapatterson2014]

God asked him if he wanted the voice of an angel or a demon and David said "Yes." He was livid with the autotune and it was done without his consent. You should listen to Down With the Sickness, The Light, Through the Fire, Hold on to Memories, and A Reason to Fight; these are all great songs. They have also recently released a cover of Sting's If I Ever Lose my Faith in You which the sound amazing on.

[@Teresa7087]

You guys are a joy to listen to. David is a gift to us. Truly an otherworldly talent. I love Disturbed. Try "Hold Onto Memories", please. It's another gem from Disturbed! You'll be tearing up, I guarantee it!

[@ravendarkauthor4939]

His being ill was apparently why he sat his butt down the whole time. They were afraid he'd collapse if he stood. He had a fever of 104 or something like that. As for the autotune, I think it was only a few notes out of the whole song. They added the enhancement against his will and he was pissed.

[@MichoacanaRobertson]

David trained as baritone in opera singing, he had professional training and imo he has one of the purest voices ever! Love this performance and this cover. Also love your reactions, subscribing! 🙃

[@pickle581]

Trained as a Cantor, not opera. His grandfather was a Cantor too

[@MichoacanaRobertson]

@@pickle581 true! Cantor, not opera 😬

My interpretation of this song is when something traumatic happens and you witness a horrific thing, but your mind kind of disconnects and you literally hear the sound of silence.

Try Disturbed's Hold on to Memories, The Light, Through the Fire, and A Reason to Fight. The harder rock songs to check are Down With the Sickness, Are You Ready and many others. You will be hard pressed to find a bad song. Also other live versions of this will show you he needed no help by autotune. By the way he was livid with the producers for adding autotune because he does not believe in it.

[@jasonhowe1697]

I would love to see a duet with garfunkel.. I would put the disturbed singing within the same context as meatloaf to a point he would have a tonal range to go up against a male opera singer..

Two people that know absolutely nothing about music in general, let alone a band as big as Disturbed and they didn't even bother to listen to the original before "reacting" to this. Jesus, the guy was comparing the orchestra to. Play ground slide! "It goes up and down" It's a shame we all watched it to the end to know just how disrespectful to the artists it is. I only wish I could go back nine and a half minutes so they don't get the view count!! And saying anyone can get 138m views because KZbin just puts it out there also shows their lack of realisation at just how amazing something has to be for that many people to watch it. I guess KZbin is to blame for the comparative watch count because they didn't promote this video as much 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

A lot of people get it wrong about the auto tune. David needs none even sick lol. And the performance was done without it but like most TV shows in post they automatically add it. Such a shame, although you don't hear it kick in a lot on his voice.

Stunning Baritone Voice, So Clear even in his rasp, Elegant And Powerful...Perfect

[@EnglishLad]

A baritone can't typically sing in 3 different octaves. He's not a pure baritone. He has baritone elements sure, and I think he was classically trained as a baritone to begin with, but he made some vocal choices in there like in the 3rd verse where he went up an octave the first time that make me feel like he's got more technique in his repertoire than just what his classical training taught him.
