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!

[@michellec2514]

I knew Amber got it immediately

[@rjkennett934]

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

[@pauladimarco9198]

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

[@DaneFalco]

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.

[@ismaelortiz4790]

The way amber turned her head like a confused puppy during the part we all anticipated 😂😂😂

[@verwulf]

When Amber said how much she loved Sound Of Silence I was just thinking to my self, "Oh, no. You poor thing. Just wait."

[@richardsimon5388]

I was thinking they weren't ready for this specifically the meaning of the song.

[@quinny6920]

SAME!!!!!

[@chellebey5889]

Lol...me too...sweet lady, I'm like,, oooh wait a minute ...

[@angeladaley]

My thoughts EXACTLY, LoL Poor Amber.

[@DenaeK]

😂😂😂😂

[@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.

[@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate]

This comment is 2 years old, but you couldn't resist proselytizing. Hahaha. "False idols" ass. @@paxcoder

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I'm a metalhead and I like Disturbed a lot.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Amen There was a scene in the book The Dead Zone by Stephen King where the villain fantasizes about digging up the corpse of his dad abusive father and screaming at it. That kinda struck me hard.

[@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate]

@@paxcoder You believe in your invisible sky-daddy; and I'll believe in power chords and tangible rock.

[@chriso6719]

Sound of Silence was a cover of Simon & Garfunkel. This is more their normal style. Off their debut album released in 2000. Lead singer is David Draiman. You probably heard the song in part at a sporting event.

[@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.

[@specialteams28]

Consider yourself blessed if you can’t relate to this song on a deeper level.

[@autumnfairy15]

Perfectly said.

[@luciferluci4570]

exactly

[@robertburns4429]

OMG, your reaction to "the turn" was awesome.

[@shireennemnich8235]

Thank you for giving Disturbed a chance. There are so many songs they have done. Try, Prayer and Believe.

[@sallysharp3845]

"Sound Of Silence" was originated by Simon & Garfunkel. You should definitely check out the original.

[@andrew348]

Yes the original is much better

[@unholydriver4987]

I think that would be a letdown after hearing David's rendition.

[@rhondagreene6578]

I have said the same thing

[@Mekillewe]

A lot of people say the original was the warning and the remake was the “I told you so” version.

[@jaysonpettibone1992]

Absolutely

[@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.

[@Will_Wel]

Jay, your headbanging was inspirational on this one. Glad Amber finally started feeling it :))

[@rodb9275]

We were all on the edges of our seats right before the "left turn", waiting to see your reaction. It was satisfying... LOL ... Funny Jordan, I remember in a couple of your very first vids, you said you wouldn't be able to enjoy louder, harder stuff. Now look at you! Love you guys. YOU make me smile.

[@carriecoffey6166]

Love this band...

[@pauladimarco9198]

OMG! Your reactions to the bridge was priceless! This is classic Disturbed! Keep'em coming! I love your channel! 🤍

[@Tank4Life]

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

[@mimi12251973]

The sound of silence was a Simon and Garfunkel song

[@angellucas-ranck9594]

The first time I ever heard Disturbed was on the soundtrack from the movie Queen of the Damned, which was singer Aaliyah’s last movie. But that was my induction to Disturbed and I’ve never looked back.

[@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.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Welcome to the family 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m 58 I love watching Jordon and Amber they are good people. I’m sure I’ll run into you again on here . Have a good one 🙏🏻

[@rodb9275]

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.

[@anthonyunderwood2068]

Agree 100%

[@lindyknauf9922]

Very well said 👍

[@lonaburgess7724]

Rodney, I agree with just about every word you said. You might enjoy Andy and Alex, two very smart college students that are knowledgeable about music. If you haven't heard them you might want to check them out.

[@quinny6920]

Lol the difference between this and the sound of silence !!!!! LOL Loved this review!! Yes yes the look on ur faces!!! Love y’all

It's a classic ... everytime I see someone reacting to the full non-edited version of this song (the radio edit doesn't have that "dirty" part), I go for popcorn and press play... it never fails... haha... Great reaction guys!!

[@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.

[@craiggallagher9110]

Disturbed very sick the voice is so versatile and so awsome

[@RK-zf1jm]

David Draiman

[@Compuman202]

Lol. The radio and video version of this song omits that part. This has also been used in a lot of zombie movies. But under it all the “sickness” is about anger, rage, and violence

[@CinShiba]

Listen to "The Light" by them. It's lighter but still a good song. The Vengeful One, Sons of Plunder, Indestructible, Hell...if you want to know Disturbed, I'm ya girl... they're my favorite band.

[@chaoticknight9520]

I’m right there with you. I could list their entire discography for songs to react to

[@victoriamartines5030]

Before watching your reaction: ''Oh, man! You have no idea...'' Fun fact: David Draiman came up with the OHH- AAHH-AAHH-AAHH while Disturbed was recording. His band mates made about the same faces like you two did when they heard it the first time.

[@redmaynard]

I'm with you Amber, this isn't usually my thing either, but there's something about it that I just love it. Crank it up, move, and work stuff out.

[@ericaa6246]

Lmfao! Loved Disturbed! Both y'all faces. '90's rock was all about mental illness awareness. Grunde, alternative. Alot of greats died from addiction and depression too soon. Love this reaction.

[@delmorva9877]

Awesome song!!!!

[@Kupcho58]

Something cool about watching your videos...it makes me "listen" to songs again. Obviously, I can't hear any of them for the first time twice, but when I watch you and listen to your take on it, it does make me hear it for the first time in a brand new way. I enjoyed the song. I have for a long time. But I never really thought about it much...until now. Damn powerful song. Thank you.

[@mosleepeesful]

I love it you guys are great..thank you

[@NIX5s]

Seen them 3X in concert, & damn it was such a great experience EVERY TIME

[@Twins1964]

David Draiman was not abused in the physical sense by any means. The "sickness" as is parents pushing their dreams onto their children to the point of it causing a separation between them. Some of these people amaze me, they make me laugh.

[@casaundrajones2446]

Yes!!!! Very good song. You should try Trapt- headstrong. If you enjoyed this.

When I was a little boy from age three to seven, I was abused by being severely beaten and mentally abused by my dad. My parents divorced because of child abuse. Later my big brother mentally and sexually abused me from age ten to age sixteen. This song tells how someone that has survived abuse can feel inside. You fully understood the meaning that I felt from the lyrics.

I don't generally like music this hard, but I do like the occasional banger stuff. I used to use System of a Down's "Chop Suey" to get into work mode when I was an Ohio Correctional Officer. That job took a more aggressive attitude than what I normally carry. Nothing physical, but attitude sure was a bonus to draw upon.

[@sageofsquirrels111]

This is definitely more of what to expect from Disturbed. They are great for working out, driving home on the interstate after work, and in general those times when you just need to throw a fist in the air and shake your head. I was truthfully SHOCKED with how restrained their version of Sound of Silence was. Some of their earlier stuff really lived up to the name; this one in particular always read as processing abuse. Later albums mellowed a bit so I imagine there's been some therapy but they still play pretty hard. Amber, these might just be reactions for Jay but maybe you'd be into the vibe off of their [10,000 Fists] album. #LoveAndPeace

You have listened to two songs by Simon & Garfunkel - one of their biggest hits was Sound of Silence, written by the short guy Paul Simon. Disturbed did a cover of that song which was amazing! But I have always loved the original as well. I almost feel that after you have analysed some of the comments, you should discuss or process them in the next day's video's because sometimes it feels that you have not pieced together the whole story and miss out on some of the significance of some songs, their history and meaning. Another plug for The Cranberries - Zombie for female Friday, the story is amazing in this song.

[@redrosewarrior2806]

DISTURBED takes on hard topics. They give an outlet to those who need it. Please look up the songs explanation from the band themselves. You think it's obviously about child abuse, but it's not really . Love this band as they also tackle the subject of suicide, deoression & addiction (Song: REASON TO FIGHT) They also make you think: Who taught you how to hate? Cuz it isn't in your blood - not a part of what your made. Who taught you how to hate cuz when you live this way, you'll be done - dead to everyone.. The pain of losing a friend before their time. I could go on & on cuz I L♡VE these guys! I listened to ONLY them in my car for a year! I needed them to see me through the toughest time in my life. I am alive becuz them.💚💙💜🎼🎼🎶🤘
