Disturbed Reaction Sound Of Silence LIVE! (OMG!) | Dereck Reacts

[@checle4499]

Growing up with the Simon & Garfunkel rendition, the words always held deep meaning, expressing the anguish my generation felt over civil rights, assassinations and the war. David uses his rich, powerful voice to pour out emotions in a way that floods my mind with sorrow, and chills my heart with fear for what the world around me has become.

[@morganjames5180]

I agree totally , you described it so well. Very dark indeed........ But meaningful.... 💚💚💚😔😔😔

[@katiebaby60]

I was a teen when this was first released by Simon and Garfunkel. I always thought that it was about the neon god sitting in the corner of every household, stopping speech and listening to others whilst glued to the box. David Draeman cries out his frustration at the fact that 60b years on no one heeded their warning, as can be seen on a daily basis everywhere you go with people having ear pieces in . stops conversation, and eyes down looking at the new neon god, the phone

[@stesco71]

How lucky were the Conan audience that night ? a musical event that will be played & remembered for decades to come ...

[@patriciadavidson8208]

Everytime I listen to this song I cry, only because it touches in my spirit that hasnt been touched ever in my 67 years love this rendishin and it so reflects these troubling times this nation has faced. Blessings:

Patricia I am 67 yrs.old too and same on your comment.

[@Thyrwyn]

This is a "must" experience. The lyrics are so engaging and accessible; haunting and visual. But the way he uses his growl to emphasize the danger and anger the lyrics establish. Beautiful,

[@sharonlambchoporeggio5761]

This is a protest song from the 60's. This song is timeless!!! When the original was made, it was a warning to the country... maybe even the world as to what's going on... now it's a rage... how can we still be silent when you see what is going on.. this song brings me to tears and gives me goosebumps everytime!! EPIC!!!

[@bassputz]

It is interesting to hear different interpretations of the lyrics. My take on it is that it's about depression and the inability function or speak about one's feelings. Paul Simon, the writer suffers from Bipolar disorder, so it kind of makes sense to me, especially with his opening lyric "hello darkness my old friend".

[@debbiefujioka]

Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon said he cried when he heard Disturber version He loved the cover.

[@ritalowrie1296]

Dereck thank you for not interrupting the song. Too many reviewers pause and talk through the song. You don’t get to hear the song properly 👏 I love this song, I don’t even know how many times I’ve heard it, it still gives me the chills 👍

[@christinemaryross6780]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your reaction video - too many of these videos stop and start the song so many times that it is impossible to get the feeling that it emotes, but you felt like I did the first thousands times I listened to this version. I still get goosebumps listening to it, which I never did when Simon and Garfunkel sang it, he puts so much drama into it that you cannot help but get drawn into the song. I look at it as S&G were singing a warning to us and David showed anger that we hadn't listened to the warning. Once again, thank you for your reaction video xx

[@M-S_4321]

50 years of hearing this song and the lyrics have always been perfect. David was born to hear this song for his whole life so he could sing this for this current generation.

[@fernandolixandrao2940]

I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis ... Excellent ........ David Draiman's voice is epic. Regarding the lyrics, Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning. The Disturbed version is furious because the warning was ignored.

[@DereckReacts]

Thank you! 👌🏽

I’m speechless ! I don’t expecting something like that !! It’s perfection the arrangement . From te beginning at the end I’m totally emerged in the song so powerful 🔥🔥🔥 ( sorry for my English I’m French 😅) By the way I love your channel 👌🏼

[@lilyssingingstar2729]

I totally understand what you are saying. Their arrangement of this timeless classic is absolutely stunning. David Draiman's voice is so beautiful and powerful. He is classically trained. Before he became the lead vocalist of this band he was cantor. For what's it's worth your English is good. I am actually teaching myself how to speak French.

[@morganjames5180]

You should watch his origianal video.....superb filming and editing. 💚💚💚

[@angelslie3481]

Jay Bee Tunes, je vais te répondre en français parce que mon anglais n'est pas top top. Je pense qu'on a tous été scotchés par cette performance. Je l'ai écoutée des dizaines de fois et à chaque fois, c 'est le même effet chair de poule ! David Draiman a une voix ... pfft indescriptible. C'est amusant de voir qu'une chanson avec la même musique et les mêmes paroles n'a pas la même signification en fonction de la façon dont elle est chantée (idem par ex pour Nothing compares to U reprise par Chris Cornell = pure émotion). Et c'est surtout un bon coup de pied au c** pour ceux qui pensent que les chanteurs de groupe de rock ou de métal ne savent pas chanter. Bien le bonjour du pays voisin.

[@leannmiller7153]

This is the only cover that Paul Simon linked on his personal website.

[@rk41gator]

for good reason.....superb.

[@Coonazz791]

Paul Simon actually said that this is Disturbed’s song now he loved it so much.

[@ahc1957]

I love watching the song being reviewed because it reminds me of the first time I heard it. I had the same response. I grew up with the original but this one, wow. I cannot hear it enough.

[@altarehkugler4675]

Absolutely phenomenal!!! I really liked your reaction. Thanks for listening to it all the way through. So many people pause so often that I think they lose alot of the passion. I think some people can't handle the intense feels.

[@nickyjames8550]

That singing was magical ,took me to another place 😁

David Draiman is dreamy and powerful on and off stage. I still get goosebumps every time I hear this version. Great reaction thanks for sharing. ✌💖

[@hellypoppy5739]

The fact he had the flu and could still pull this off, just shows what a fabulous singer he is…..

[@tonipowell632]

Hard to believe he had the flu during this performance...just two days prior he could barely speak.....though you can hear his voice crack a couple times it was still so amazing

[@lindaammons6432]

An he was sitting the whole time

[@JoeSmith-iv3sf]

What's hard to believe is you morons that race to repeat something you read on someone else's comments. Endlessly every damn reaction.

[@jeh32]

I love it when his voice cracks. People keep claiming he lip syncs. The voice cracks prove it's live, and he's no less amazing.

[@NocturneSoul]

His voice reminds me of a folkloric character in Africa called the “town crier”, which is someone who speaks to the village when danger is coming. The town crier doesn’t scream, he doesn’t yell. The town crier just walks through the village speaking, and he has such a powerful hypnotic authoritative voice that people can’t help but to stop anything they’re doing and just listen to this commanding voice. It raises over any other voice. And it's the voice that the town would rise up to hear, as if they were being called by some powerful force that tunes their minds and souls and shuts down any other thought. That’s David Draiman. His voice is pure soul and will, powerful and with such authority. He means every word, and he makes you feel it in your guts. He touches your deepest strings as soon as he opens his mouth. You feel like you're being called. And this version is outstanding. They say you can listen to the original song as many times as you want, but you never hear the song until you hear this version, and that’s when you hear the song for the first time. And about the lyrics. To me it's about technology, TV then and now cellphones.

[@evaflintironstag9356]

Thank you for a beautifully articulated reaction! I really enjoyed it.

[@broella6493]

Love your blown away reaction! Your face said it all!!! And who doesn’t get the chills?!?!

[@PwnstarUK]

For me the song is a warning about technology. People talking without speaking ( texts emails..) people hearing without listening..( the whole internet) its the neon god we made.. its amazing what goes on while we sit in silence because we have been dehumanised by technology. It was true in the 70s and its more true now. Paul Simon was a visionary. The Irony is we all listen to his warnings on that technology and not dare to disturb the silence.

[@leoniedrew5643]

No one knew anything about tech like texting back when it was written so the original meaning was nothing about that

[@kristimarriner7673]

I agree!

[@kaylaclarke783]

- The original is pure poetry and melancholy. Dramian takes you on an epic journey! -Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive. -Disturbed had been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance for their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" while appearing on Conan. -David Draiman: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right." - How Paul Simon Felt To Have Disturbed Transform Classic Song to Heavy Metal kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWxl6qlgKljjqM -

[@markdaube507]

Another example of how the best voices come from heavy metal. The original Simon and Garfunkel version from 50 years ago, was a subtle warning about staying silent in the face of injustice. The Disturbed version shows the rage because we didn't listen and haven't learned a thing. Trump is a symptom of our ignorance.
