This is the first time ive seen someone react to this. I was in the audience this day. It was amazing. Nobody was even making a sound. The moment he opened his mouth everyone just shut up and paid attention. And nobody made a sound until we all knew it was over. And i swear we all clapped for like 10 minutes

Well he should! David really kicked the song up ten notches!

Adding all these years later... Paul Simon said David brought to the song the way it should be sang, and Paul wasn't capable to do what he did.

[@kurtmiller4235]

David (the singer) received specific approval and permission personally from Simon & Garfunkle to do their song. They heard him sing it and they were so impressed that they very much approved and found his version of their song really carried the message of the song in such a deep and felt way.

I must thank the Band DISTURBED. In 2013 our son was killed by a Drunk Driver while he was leaving a Jason Aldean concert. When I first heard this song my heart dropped. I started crying because it reminded me of the deadly path my son had to take that night. In 2016 they dedicated the Sound of Silence to our son, Michael on the venue where he was killed.

Perfect description!

[@JensRandolff]

This is my favorite rendition of this song. His interpretation truly brings out the true meaning of the lyrics. Simon & Garfunkel sang to alarm us, he sang to give us a final warning. You should watch their music video version. It is as beautiful as it is haunting.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you tomorrow at my new Premiere?

[@lis9140]

Agree...the official video imagery is stunning...

[@roseannamanues2111]

I recently watched a video of where tribal people in India were watching the music video and the elders who had watched it got the meaning. They also added more to it. I also think that the writers and Disturbed would be humbled and amazed at how far the song has reached people.

[@kathicardow]

Mine too

[@timmartin5270]

Every time I hear Disturbed's version of 'Sound of Silence' it moves me to tears. I have chronic bilateral tinnitus that has affected my ability to 'pitch' when singing with friends or bands or in choirs but I remember songs sufficiently to centre my ears when listening. This performance simply 'moves' me in ways others don't.

[@SavageDawgJoshua]

Disturbed's version of this song is so strong... so imminent and fraught with warning... so dire for action and yet so sad and what could be with failure to heed the warnings... S&G's original was almost like "reading" a history book and the emotion conveyed was "Oh well...". Yes. As a gen X guy, and a Marine of the 90's, THIS is the version I feel in my soul. THIS is the version it always should have been.

Maggie, I love it when classically trained vocalists take the plunge and venture outside of their personal genre. Heavy Metal has produced some of the most amazing vocalists. David Draiman is just one. My personal favorites are Rob Halford of Judas Prist, and Geoff Tate formerly of Queensryche who still, to this day, has a 4 octave voice. Another vocalist that ventures into the speed metal or death metal genre is King Diamond. His music is very dark, but his voice is piercingly high and clear. Thanks for giving metal vocalists a chance.

[@dreyhawk]

He has so much control of his voice. He turns the rasp on and off like it has a switch. That's really evident when he sings "tenement halls" tenement = rasp, halls = no rasp. I see people have suggested the video...it has so much symbology to go with the lyrics. It's really good. It also starts with the literal sound of silence, which throws a lot of people off.

[@maggiereneemusic]

You are the only reactor who I've seen who twigged to the fact that Draiman was sick when the band did this performance. I had no idea. To me, the Disturbed version is what "The Sound of Silence" was always meant to sound like. It is just amazing and so powerful.

Everyone seems to fawn all over this version of this song. I, myself, prefer the music video version. To me it's way more powerful. also consider some of Disturb's other covers. They do a great cover of "Land of Confusion" originally done by Genesis and "Shout 2000" originally "Shout" by Tears for Fears. Their other original stuff is really heavy and will grab you.

@@maggiereneemusic I agree, with Vern's first point that the original studio version by Disturbed in their official music video is a better version of it compared to this live version. Curious as to your thoughts Maggie!

[@remarcsd]

Spot on about the studio version showcasing the song better - plus the transition from the operatic beginning to the metal ending is smoother. And he didn't have the flu when they did the studio version.

[@sarasorensen2650]

Its better to do a reaction to a live performance than a video that's been picked over and edited "for content" you can't give a true reaction to something that's been doctored.

[@ashscott6068]

I think most people pretend to prefer to Conan version, but it's because they have to use that one, because it's way less likely to take a copyright strike. I find some of the singing weak on this version, and there's a few duff notes

[@nmode7420]

Yes he was sick during this performance. The fact that you picked this up is a testament to how good your ears are. I haven't seen anyone else pick that up in a react video yet.

[@superdrummergaming]

Metal and rock singers love holding consonants. Gives a darker feel and tone.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks for the info. 😍

[@jgreen3910]

He’s trained as a cantor. His relative was/is a cantor for the largest synagogue in Jerusalem. He definitely has a trained voice. Unfortunately, this broadcast felt it necessary to modulate his voice with ‘perfect pitch’, however, there are other recordings of this song without that effect and they sound just as good.

[@sonofeloah]

Yes! And as I commented earlier here, this live TV version does not do him justice for his abilities. Their official music video is a superior representation of his range for this song.

[@pete2v]

The thing with Dave Dramain is that what you hear on the record vocally is what you hear live. I've been to concerts for the last 33 years, and there are not many that can constantly do that

[@jimofaotearoa3636]

I saw GnR in 92 and recall marvelling at Axl Rose's ability to sing the entire album pitch perfect just like the record. Thats something in itself but the dude would be belting it out whilst sprinting at full pace around this ridonkulously hugenormus stage....he probably travelled half a mile on the last note of each song....."You could MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE half a marathon later....yeah" ...song ends.

[@richardnanian6075]

No need to fight. Draiman has spoken on several occasions about how gracious Simon has been. Simon sent him an e-mail telling him he loved it when he first heard Disturbed's version, and then they met later at a New Year's Eve party and talked for 20 or 30 minutes.

[@roboslug7582]

@@richardnanian6075 For sure. I'm just being facetious, of course. I'm sure any musician is flattered when new bands cover their music. S&G is definitely a timeless group that continues to influence, not only across generations, but across genres. It's pretty cool to see a heavy metal band remix a 50 year old folk song into something so different from the original, but still true enough to its roots to be enjoyed by new and old fans alike.

[@PoppetLexi]

Rumor has it Paul Simon told David that the song is now his. 🤷‍♀️

[@jonhorrocks8999]

For your own interest, it's worth watching Henk Poort doing this Disturbed version of Sound of Silence on Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. He tried distortion for the first time for the performance. Henk is a legend of musical theatre, played the Phantom and Jean Valjean professionally. I think you'd really enjoy it. If you're looking for more reaction material then Floor Jansen's cover of Shallow from the same TV show is simply breathtaking. Happy Birthday!

[@fstad]

Also Henk Poort & Floor Jansen with Phantom of the Opera at Beste Zangers.

[@mattphillips538]

If I remember correctly, Henk sang Disturbed's arrangement of this song for Floor specifically at her request. And ditto on the request for her performance of Shallow from that program... it's jaw dropping.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

And he is a fully trained Bariton Opera singer but he keeps getting cast as a Tenor 😜😍🎶

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Floor did TWO versions of Shallow on Beste Zangers. I prefer the duet version because I dislike when duets are converted to single singers and because the other singer played part acoustically on the guitar. Personal preference. Still, Floor did great on both.

He is amazing! He is a bass-baritone I believe the low note in here was in the 2nd octave and he can switch into his head voice up to a tenor range. I think the higher notes were around an A4 and close to the 5th octave. I may be off base, I struggled with theory in undergrad...

[@TheGhostGuitars]

I'm amazed that yer the ONLY reacter I've seen (so far) that clued into the fact that he WAS sick with the flu during that performance. As ye know the saying in show biz, the show must continue! Btw, that's why he was sitting during this performance, he's usually performs standing. 😉😁

[@ChrisTexan]

I know you've been told (I'm months late to the party, LOL), if you haven't already listened to other versions of this, the biggest issue of him being sick was actually a significantly COMPRESSED range (he normally goes a bit deeper, AND a bit higher, on the accents), as well as a much more nasal "n" (sounds closed off at the finish, his 'n's normally finish very open but you can hear they were dying in his sinuses in this performance). As well as some of the wide-open notes were much tighter and less breath available for them, all the more impressive in my book, having heard it live in concert, imagine this performance was about 80-85% of his abilities.

And how he can easily switch! I already know he has had opera experience. Ive been a fan since day 1. He was sick, thats amazing you noticed. His official video sounds better, but to be sick, that is just amazing live!

[@vegrunner6688]

A year or later, but I can't believe you reviewed the live version rather than the video. The video adds to the haunting song tremendously, although of course it stands on his own. it's just hypnotizing and beautiful.

Maggie: Give me that rasp. David: Gotcha.

[@jbreit123]

Just a comment I love your review of sounds of silence from disturbed. That’s what brought me to you channel and now I am a subscriber. I love how you broke it down. You are gemius. Thank you

[@jeffwellman8347]

David has years of show business experience and brings that professionalism to this performance but he also trained as a Hazzan (Jewish Cantor) and is able to tap into the spiritual aspects of the song which gives it a much greater emotional depth. (subbed)

[@maggiereneemusic]

So glad!! Welcome! Thanks for your lovely comment! 🤗💖

[@sanandaallsgood673]

You are totally correct! He was ill when he performed this on Conan. He's a fully trained singer.

[@dom128uk]

Great review of a fabulous song , this version blows me away every time

[@JohnJohnson-ii5fo]

David brings an emotional element to "Sound of Silence" missing from the Simon & Garfunkel version. He rages at the "neon gods" and the indifference of the "crowd" to human suffering expressed "in tenemat halls" and "subway walls". Simon & Garfunkel didn't go there. In that way, David actually improved on this classic song by giving it that powerful emotional arc.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks for the info! 😁

John Johnson I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the 2 different versions and their respective meanings in those Oh! so different times. As a person who was listening to the original version when it first hit the AM radio in D.C. and so many pitiful renditions it was refreshing to hear this young man completely take control of the song and make it completely new.

[@GlenJohnson-t1y]

He actually did have a cold that night, however that is how his vocals are all the time. The rasp, the clean, the lows and highs. Thought you’d like to know

[@justincnc1910]

Yes he was sick for this performance, but, either way he's always been down with the sickness!!

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope you will join my LIVE stream in less than 1 hour? I am also now on Twitch so hope to see you there as well: www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic

[@LiberateAlberta1907]

Disturbed did this song better then Simon and Garfunkel 🙂

[@maggiereneemusic]

😀

[@robertaclark6079]

Different interpretation. Both perfect for what they say. One warns; one accuses.

[@danayingstgarcia2026]

Yes, in an interview he said he was sick that night.

[@simplesolfege8867]

Melissa Cross (his coach), Renee Grant Williams, David L Jones, Thierry Milgiorini in Europe or Carole Simons, 5 very talented vocal coach training some brilliant artists.

[@janjirawilliams1172]

Its funny u talking about him being sick.he was.&he got a song Down with the sickness.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Didn't know that, but now from the comments I guess so. Lol. 😁

[@TheSnoopyEmu]

David is not southern, he's from Brooklyn and his parents are from Israel.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thanks for the info.😀

[@Hey_You724]

I love the video version of this… so much more rich and dramatic ❤

[@mandalorianscum1138]

Try singing this along with 80000 other people, still hits me right in the feels I got to experience that!

[@sarcasticbimbo1420]

@Maggie, David Draiman is a trained Cantor. That was how he received his training.

[@jennifert8224]

He actually had the flu when performing this... nice ear. 👍

[@visforvegan8]

That was my understanding as well.

[@dragonlea13]

He wasn’t happy with his performance at all

[@annechoyrocks]

Happy Birthday Maggie 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂😻

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you so much for your lovely wishes and for watching my video until the end. I appreciate it. 😁❤🎂

[@maggiereneemusic]

[@mattphillips538]

Interesting thing about this singer: he's from a family of cantors. Also, regarding your question about Draimen and the sickness... he's usually down with it.

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for the info! 😁

[@alanfoster6589]

Ah, sickness. I think I've got it too ;).

[@majbrat]

[@luisnunes2010]
