OH MY GOSHH!.. | FIRST TIME HEARING Disturbed - Down With The Sickness REACTION

[@joeymcbrayer]

The look on both of your faces during “that part” was PRICELESS! I knew it was coming and your reactions were EPIC!

I knew Amber got it immediately

I had to grab some popcorn and wait for that wrecking ball to hit.

Right? I was 🙏it wasn't the edited version! Their faces!! Such an amazing reaction!

I prefer the copy that bypasses that part. Though their face yeah that was worth it lol

[@imasinner8086]

Ya that's definitely not in the radio version. I was waiting for that too, can't help but have a genuine reaction to that on a react channel.

[@mrs.martin3158]

The last part where he's screaming at his mother is a reality for so many kids. As a teacher, this song really helped me understand the rage that exists inside some of "my kids". I understand their behavior. I believe these words are what they are holding inside. Sad, but society does have this sickness of child abuse. (Just my 2 cents.)

[@carybrauer9669]

Hes not actually referring to his real mother. Hes referring to mother society

[@HistorysRaven]

@@carybrauer9669 That's neither here nor there. While David is referring to "society", he does so in a way that kids can change it to their abusive parents.

[@victorylane2377]

@@carybrauer9669 still abuse. Whether it's society or a parent. It's about someone you should be able to trust abusing that trust. Pretty deep song.

[@JessieCristo]

@@victorylane2377 I understood the societal reference, but I attributed the hate and anger I've had for my own mother for most of my life, and just singing along to the song helps to release some of that negative shit, every single time. It's why I love this song even up to this day. It's therapeutic for me. *shrugs*

[@mandyhammond8439]

Coming from that abusive childhood music like this and bands like Disturbed do offer a safe and healthy outlet for the rage and helplessness in that situation. I know I wouldn't have made it through the darkness to the other side without it.

[@Z_TPI]

When he says "Mommy" he's actually referring to society. Its the pressure of the "mother" culture of society that's beating down on the child striving for independence(which is considered as a sickness/going against the grain)..

[@clonexx]

@@jadenking4268 Except he’s not, David literally said it’s about society beating down the individual to conform. That came straight from his own mouth in an interview.

[@Dyrtbag68]

The "Mommy" isn't about child abuse per sé: "This song is about how society treats people who are "different." A lot of people think they are "sick" and "wrong" and want nothing to do with them. In the middle of the song, lead singer David Draiman acts out a skit where he is being abused by his mother (not in the radio version). Finally, he builds up enough courage and hits her right back. This is used to symbolize how "mother society" abuses "her" children for not being the way "she" thinks they should. "She" keeps doing it until "her" children get sick of it and are so angry with her and themselves they go out and get revenge for it. Getting "Down With The Sickness" means accepting people for who they are so we can all function better."

[@iAmEbolaWoT]

I'm really glad you brought this up because so many people misunderstand the FULL meaning behind "that" part. I was about to post this exact thing but saw this and wanted to give you props for bring this info forward.

[@theuglyduckling2068]

i don't know man if im being honest this is way to deep and raw to not symbolize exactly what he said

[@brettteply9363]

Perhaps. But the song was originally released for the movie Dawn of the Dead. Maybe he incorporated his life with his mother. As I see it it was written for the movie. Dawn of the Dead.

[@elfshadowx]

@@brettteply9363 The song was released four years before dawn of the dead on Disturbs first album. The movie used a hit song. It was not written for a movie.

[@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate]

As an abused young boy, you dream of the day that you can overcome your abuser. I've been there. I can't tell you, as a 55 year old man, how many punk, metal, and hard rock lovers I've met and spoken to over my life that came to HARD music through seeking empowerment. Disturbed is a band that acknowledges this. WHY are you out of the mainstream? WHY do you feel cast out, and unloved and "different?" Metal is a welcoming place where the misfits find each other. Aggressive music is a release, a catharsis. As Ozzy Osbourne said, for a lot of us, "Rock n roll is my religion and my law."

[@paxcoder]

Whoa whoa, there. You've taken it way, way too far. Let's not make false idols that cannot save. P.S. Also "Down with the sickness" is a numetal song. And metalheads usually disown numetal.

Not classically trained. He was trained in his youth to be a Jewish cantor like his grandfather. He has stated this repeatedly in interviews.

[@shawnlewis1918]

They are great no doubt as far as talent goes but I NEVER bought any of their songs, I refuse to support bands that can't seem to jam while giving an uplifting message, the lyrics in most of these songs were toxic and negative in nature....I'll stick with the majority of 70's and 80's songs that were uplifting and positive in nature!

[@shapeach]

@@shawnlewis1918 I do agree with you. I typically do not care for anything that is dark in nature. However, to me this remake of Simon and Garfunkel's hit, packs and extremely real punch when you consider th Christian overtones. And this is the only song I have ever listened to by the group.

[@shawnlewis1918]

@@shapeach I absolutely agree, Disturbed hit that one out of the park on Sounds of Silence, and don't get me wrong, I actually do love a lot of their music but I'm older and don't allow the lyrics to get to me because a LOT of their songs are great to workout to, gets my adrenaline pumping, I just think about young minds and how much influence some of these lyrics have on younger people. At least Disturbed was a crazy good talent and probably the last of what great rock used to be, I just don't know where in the hell all of the great rock went in addition to great rock with very positive influence like Sammy Hagar, Van Halen, Van Hagar, 38 Special, even Ozzy Osbourne had good influence songs, Dio, Metallica, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Night Ranger, Judas Priest, Nickelback etc....the list is just so damn long on great music with great influence.

[@gerardstephens58]

This album came out shortly after my ex-wife announced her plan for me to leave after 7 years and 3 kids. To say I was hurt and angry would be a gross understatement. This song, in particular, helped me to channel my pain and rage without damaging anyone else. Played it back to back in my car for weeks; so therapeutic. I know it’s a rage against abuse, but pain is pain, anger is anger. And healing is healing.

People who had abusive childhoods really identify with this song. For me, it definitely struck a cord in me when I first heard it.

I always look for your video's to post everyday. Cheers!

@@SamoanObsidian I know he has said that, but at the same time his interviews about his parents are really really clear. It was not a happy childhood. Extremely conservative parents/grandparents with their foot on his throat. It would be an incredible stretch to believe this song with the amount of passion he has, is just a revolutionary song about government control. But it does protect his parents. He gets the same when he feels without looking like he hates his mother. He is incredible at capturing emotion, conveying pain, this song comes from a place of eternal pain. Every one of us who were abused knows that same pain. We live with it everyday. It's created the demon in us. We absorb the hate cuz that's what we had to do. We absorbed it and it created something in us that no one wants to see. Many of us live with that sickness every day of our lives. It ain't about government.

[@rodneyjones3454]

Hi, Jay and Amber. I’ve been a member of your channel for a few months now but have not left a single word until now. When I first discovered “reaction” videos I was fascinated by the idea. What makes them special? I feel it’s a bit like experiencing great songs and performances of my past for the first time - again - but enhancing the experience by sharing it with new young friends. I’m 68, so, yeah, you’re young. After bumping into my first reaction video, I binge watched for a couple days… and gradually became disappointed, in that the hosts began to feel like tired salespeople at Best Buy, faking it, pretending they are interested, pretending they know what they're talking about. They seemed like people stuck at a job. I began to suspect they knew the songs prior to their videos. Over time I stopped checking in on these channels, but not yours. You two offer something none of the others have quite been able to maintain: sincerity, authenticity (real folk), consistency, and warmth. It’s more than that though. You both exude genuine kindness and respect for each other, and for your audience, too. Also, you both seem to have an open mind in your approach to new music. You check your biases. Jay has a good sense for marketing, creating a brand, keeping things on track while not getting overly serious or too dry. I get the feeling he is giving it 100% and will succeed at whatever he puts his mind to. He’s focused. And Amber has an amazing talent for understanding the deeper meanings of both the music and the lyrics of a song. In watching her reactions, I get the feeling she is adjusting to the music, finding connections, tuning into the vibe and intent of the song. She is having an experience, which is contagious. I’ve watched you two react to songs I’ve heard a hundred times before, thought I knew the song, and Amber would make an observation that would put the song in a whole new light for me. She has a high music IQ - and very perceptive, I believe. You two, in my humble opinion, are the best reactors, best personalities, the best selection of songs, on KZbin. Thank you for keeping it real. Here’s a song I believe you’d both enjoy, especially Amber, for Female Friday: Sara Bareilles - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Live Cover) I watched you do the original Elton John version. You guys have it. Please keep it up.

YUP. I am a reaction addict, and I have given a similar description, as to Why. We of course can't experience our past again, but it FEELS like it, when you watch people react to the stuff from the past, in an effort to re-live it. It is actually an acceptable replacement, to me, since it's not possible to go back. I LOVE IT. And I've been watching Jordan since his first reaction videos, and I became an instant fan. He and Amber are absolutely my favorite reactors.

While people relate to the song as being about child abuse, it’s actually not. From David’s own words in an interview, it’s about society (the mother) beating down their child (the individual) and forcing them to conform. However, the great thing about music is that everyone can find whatever meaning they want in it and if this helps people who were victims of abuse, then that’s not a bad thing.

[@tammyedwards-buchin3193]

Yeah waited for that look. You have to go back and catch the meaning. Disturbed touches on things that most people shy away from. I love them. Love the reaction and love Disturbed.

[@pattyestrada6]

Godsmack’s “Awake” and Blue October’s “Hate Me”, please 🙏🏼

[@lorirose5343]

I second Blue October!!

[@Kim-hc5si]

‘Hate Me’ destroys me. Good suggestion. ❤️

[@saltyluggage5535]

Another +vote for Blue October "Hate Me"

[@francisdiederichs5739]

Hate Me came on the radio while I was driving the other day, and I had to pull over because I was sobbing uncontrollably by the end. I wasn't ready, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

[@Kim-hc5si]

@@francisdiederichs5739 I believe it. It’s brutal. 💔

[@carybrauer9669]

Lol... I was waiting for the change. Your faces were priceless

[@craiggallagher9110]

Disturbed very sick the voice is so versatile and so awsome

David Draiman

[@ben7111]

Ok, I’ve watched about 15 reactions to this song and y’all’s is by far the best

[@RAD-82ndABN]

This song was on the Vampire movie “Queen of the Damned!” In the Disturbed song they only used the first chorus. Lestat de Lioncourt sings to flush out vampires! Using the song to tell about changes from human into a Vampire! Infuriated the Vampire community since they thrive on secrecy! This song is really about societies effects on children! Especially in abusive homes or families who over medicating children to calm them down! Many teens especially from single parents become over active, not understanding how to deal with their hormonal changes. Some parents abused their children while other use drug like Ritalin to keep from being hyperactive!! When these same children turn into their stages they become more hormonally aggressive, either from being over medicated or being abused. So most bring out their demons into public society were many of them become anti-social and anarchist!!!

[@villaincorp7728]

it is also the ONLY song NOT sang by Korn in the actual movie. The cd soundtrack has different artists. Lestat will live FOREVER!

[@darkestwind191]

And "Dawn of the dead" of George Romero)

[@RYMAN1321]

Maybe, but I still like how the full song ended up on the soundtrack

[@delmorva9877]

Awesome song!!!!

[@robertwarfield4791]

Yes, Sound of Silence was originally done by Simon and Garfunkel

[@buttthecat1354]

Henk Poort sang the best Sound Of Silence cover.

[@goatvoicestwin1859]

You were correct on your first thought...this song is about society as a a whole...nothing to do with him getting abused

[@rachellara4661]

I love this song! Absolutely LOVED your overall reactions to this. This song was also well used in the 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead! They have some pretty hard stuff. As for Sound of Silence, that was originally done by Simon and Garfunkel, which you should definitely check out!!!

[@jenna_d]

Your face though 🤣🤣🤣✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼❤️

[@leokelley8866]

This song was actually their first radio hit off of their first album "The Sickness" back in 2000. The whole album goes hard.

[@89801wink]

It gets dark quickly. You did notice right before he goes in to that part, he says..."when I dream". As a child of a very heavy handed dad, I felt this way many times. Since then he has apologized many times, and I'm good. He's become my best friend.

[@tonks1968]

Love Disturbed. Saw them live on a few occasions and amazing live band. Sound of Silence is a Simon and Garfunkel cover

[@robertredmon5409]

This song is about David's mother abusing him. David was a problem child, in and out of boarding schools. His mother could not control him, so she reprimanded and disciplined him with severe and physical abuse. Not all, but if you check the past of musicians you'll be surprised how many of them had problems in the family or being bullied in school...ect...

[@annmills3163]

It’s not a personal song

[@martyb5807]

Yeah. all the people down on Axl Rose's bad behavior and come to find out he is bipolar and was sexually and physically abused before he ran away from home

[@hansgugel2275]

Personal nothing dude

[@sphinx-2703]

False, it's about society and it's children being forced to mother society's ways but David is speaking out wanting us to stand against the bad norms of society sickening us

[@DonCummins-kf3eo]

Amber looks stunned, Rob is getting it!! 😅😅 And there shows are so good!! 🔥

[@giggigidy6998]

I'm a Blue October fan but just recently discovered the acoustic version of "Fear" definitely one Amber may like... it's a fight song for anybody going/dealing with something in their life....

[@Beachbum1Day]

Disturbed “Vengeful One”. Great song, video and message!!

[@dawns.427]

Amber "The Light" and "A Reason to Fight" and "Hold on to Memories" are great songs by them probably much more your speed. David is a great singer trained in the Jewish worship tradition.

[@rk41gator]

OH my. Did not expect to see you doing this little tune. THIS is why they are called 'DISTURBED'! Abuse is a thing, hate is a sickness.

[@jennifermorris6848]

Oh Ah Ah Ah Ah

[@jaymcgraw528]

Such a awesome time for music . Many great artist from this era

[@miked2445]

A better work out song by Disturbed is "Droppin Plates". Banger.

[@Tank4Life]

Ambers reaction is so awesome! I love you guys!!

[@markwillis675]

IMO "The game" is their best song. But try some CORROSION OF CONFORMITY: "Clean my wounds."

[@matthewdrake4385]

COC- Albatross too.

[@purtexan1461]

This song describes my childhood completely from both my carrier ( birth mother) and my step mom perfectly. Completely spot on. I had a VERY difficult time trusting any woman in my life from teachers to my aunts and grandmother. I had anger issues and wanted to kill anyone who hurt me mentally or physically. One aunt in particular stood up to me and made me confront my fear and she's the one I grew closest to. My grandmother also came to be a mother figure to me as well and I have so much respect for them to stand up to me when my life could've turned out much worse than it was. I thank them endlessly to this day for saving my freedom but still have nightmares and flashbacks from childhood. I'm also VERY grateful that a band was able to catch my emotions and put it towards a song like this because it's how I felt

[@Dawnspell8]

This song was used (David Draiman's was the Vamapire Lestat's singing voice) in Queen of the Damned. Along with several other songs, it was used as emotional backdrop to Lestat's journey on the fictional album, Redeemer.

[@13Karaokeman]

Actually the lead singer for korn was lestat's singing voice

[@killinglonliness88]

Yeah sorry to burst your bubble but it wasn't David Draiman singing in Queen of the Damned, they did use some Disturbed songs in the movie, this one as well, but it was actually Korn's singer Johnathan Davis who was the voice of Lestat in that movie, for the singing I mean.

[@laineyb7708]

Great reaction. More Disturbed-Indestructible, Prayer, The Light.

[@toyota420xp]

The song starts off as a child that has been beaten so low to the point he's kneeling sumissively before his abuser which happens to be his mother who also probably treats him like a servant. At his lowest point he starts to change from being fearful and heartbroken and an intense hatred starts to flare up inside of him, each time he's being abused, but it's only his thoughts and his feelings that have turned him angry and full of rage which is lashed so violently out in this song but he's basically saying because of her cruelty he's turned into this monster and now he's just as sick as her when he says, "Come get down with the sickness."

[@saw31489]

Just as an FYI, it isn't a real mother. Mother in this is society and the sickness is not being what society wants you to be... so it deems you as "sick". Get down with the sickness means to be accepting and cool with not being how society wants you to be. Enjoy

[@drbarchitect]

You guys go from head banging, rockin out to 6:49. "Ah, what just happened?" This song just turned into a Rob Zombie movie...... That look is priceless.

[@terrywalter4303]

Disturbeds version of Sound of silence is amazing. It really makes you get the true meaning behind the song.
