[@ryannichols8315]

Maybe. But the truth is because it's a TV show, the audience is told to be quite. There's actually signs that light up that say quite or applause. And the way they record the shows sound, it keeps the audience noise to a minimum.

@@maggiereneemusic - i knew this was going to be here. someone ALWAYS post this in any reactions to this video and spreads the notion that he is classically trained. He is NOT. He was, however, trained as a cantor as a young child (his grandfather or father, I can't recall, was a cantor at temple). He did take some lessons to help him master his vocal distortion technique. Most of it is his natural talent with some guidance along the way :-)

[@tonybird3047]

Aside from the other points yes he was sick, find the performance they did on Jools Holland if you want to see it live and at full strength

[@saltedllama2759]

Yeah, except he also used live auto-tune - which is a thing. It's (sadly) awkwardly recognizable for those of us who have worked with the stuff. Eddie Vedder had a chest cold when he did his live version of Black on MTV Unplugged and didn't need that kind of help. This is one of the fleece performances of all-time that duped tens of millions into thinking it was something special or historic in music. Just digital magic, every time he held a note for any length of time, or transitioned from one tone type to another, or did a climb. The climbs are embarrassingly obvious when it sounds like his voice was pushed through Mario Paint. We have seen Frankie Valli use it in recent years, but he's in his 80's. That doesn't mean David hasn't had classical training, or a great vocal coach; he can afford all of that stuff. But he can also afford to use great technology, which he did.

[@Fizzbin25]

As an old man, I have been listening to music for many many years, and every now and then someone comes along and pokes the music industrie with a shit covered stick and says " hey listen to this." Takes a song not within their usual genre and drizzles it with their genius and tallent and BOOM, instant classic. This song is amazing in of itself, I have always loved Simon an Garfunkles original version, but this transends theirs and becomes my ultimate favourite. David sings it in such a way as to spear through my chest and impale my heart, I love it.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Best description I think I've heard of this arrangement: Simon and Garfunkel's original was a warning that we are talking at each other, no one is listening. Disturbed's version is anger that the warning has not been heeded.

I'm surprised noone (that I saw) has stated the fact that...in his early years with Disturbed, the way he sings is very "gutteral"; and eventually when he sang, his diaphragm would push his stomach acid up and burn his esophagus/vocal chords...so, he had to get vocal coaching to pretty much learn to actually sing and not just shout... which is a blessing in disguise cuz.. now he can do both. :)

[@sunshynff]

​@@deltadaze6836.....Sorry, it wasn't a warning, the song originally was called "Sounds of Silence" and was written by Simon, in a bathroom, he said he loved the acoustics in bathrooms, and would often go in his to play and relax, with the lights out and water running. That's how he got the opening line, "Hello darkness my old friend". Him and Garfunkel later starting preforming the song in The Village, NY, and after being picked up by Columbia, recorded it as their first single off their first album Wednesday morning 3AM. It was a commercial flop causing S&G to break up and go their separate ways. It wasn't until 1-1/2yrs later that it started to get local radio play. Their producer from Columbia remixed it, putting in the electric instruments and drums, shooting it up the charts. S&G, separately found out about it only by browsing through the magazine Billboard top 100. Paul was pissed about the remix, and didn't care for it, but neither of them wanted to look a gift horse in the mouth, so they signed back on with Columbia and released their 2nd album titled same as the song, but dropped the plural "s" calling it simply "The Sound or Silence" Simon has said in many interviews, it had no deep political or social message, he was barely 21 when he wrote it, and said it was just a young man with angst writing about people not talking to each other. He also says he is happy though, that people got their own message from it.

There were several videos of David stating his unhappiness with the show for it's addition of Auto-Tune however once it had been done there was no undoing it.

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.

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.

nope. not trained as an opera singer. i don't know where people get this info. in any interview he has done, he said he was trained as a cantor when he was a kid. after that, he took some lessons to help him get his vocal fry down. but he was not trained classically according to him.

[@spencerstrecheniuk3582]

His Vocal coach is Melissa Cross. She’s coached a lot of big names in metal. She’s a classical singing teacher and makes sure that her “screamers” don’t go away without classical training too. (According to her). I read somewhere he started seeing her about 10 years ago when he was losing his voice from his fry.

I know David was kicked out of Hebrew school as a child, but went back for High School then lived in Israel for a year or so to train as a Cantor. Can't remember if that was before or after he decided not to go to Law School. Their loss, our gain!!! 💙💙💙

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

No offense, but thank God he doesn't sound like an Opera Singer. I like the way he can sing smooth & then turn it into anger & roughness on the high notes. Opera Singers would never sing it this way because they can't do it. They are trained to use their voices "differently". Also, Opera singers are hard to understand what words they are singing because of the way they annunciate. On the other hand, you can understand all the words Distortion sings perfectly. His diction is great, along with the phrasing, pitch & the tone of smooth & edgy.

I saw a short interview of Paul Simon where he said that not only was this their favorite cover, he thought it brought out the meaning of the song better than their version! He actually liked this better that what they originally did. (or that was my take??) Either way, when you have the full support of the creators of a piece, it's pretty special. Love the reactions to this song. It is VERY MUCH my own reactions... I had no idea this guy could sing like this because all I ever heard was the guttural screaming before. I have since heard more of this man's great voice and hope he pursues it even more. HE SHOULD! More impressive still, the man had the FLU as he was singing this and still belted it our wonderfully. I STILL PREFER The Original Official Video of this Cover. The opening with the broken and silent instruments really set the stage for the whole brilliant video and brilliant performance and recreation of a classic.

[@darephish2413]

was that on YT? would like to watch

[@jerryfick613]

In the era when Simon and Garfunkel recorded the original, dark songs would not get airplay. So the musical sound of the song could not match the lyrics. At the same time, the dichotomy of the dark lyrics set against the upbeat music embodied the societal conflict of the time

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my LIVE stream later today?

[@michaelbertone]

Id agree, that the cover is actually a more accurate portrayal of the lyrics and spirit of the original. A little too dark for the ‘plucky’ sound of folk, but S & G lived at a time when it was the sound of revolution and defiance. It was the right genre and sound to give birth to this amazing classic. The adaptation is gorgeous, and his deep and varied range and gravely yet highly controlled scream-harmonies are perfect.

He has one of the strongest voices and has quite a large range as well. He's one of the few singers who regularly performs live (not pre-recorded). Not only that, but he tinkers with his songs for the live performances, not simplifying the vocals, but stepping up the complexity. If you enjoyed David Draiman's voice, you will also enjoy Serj Tankian. He is also a classically trained vocalist, who became famous in the heavy metal space (lead singer of System of a Down). Maynard James Keenan is another one (lead singer of Tool) to check out.

He’s trained as a cantor. His relative was/is a cantor for the largest synagogue in Jerusalem. He definitely has a trained voice.

I really like Disturbed's take on this song. I spent all of junior high and highschool in choir. I had a bit of a rasp in my voice at times and got called out for it. Little did the people calling me out for the rasp know that a lot of the time it was deliberately done and my directors loved it while I injected a little into the solo parts of my performances. I was in the All State Honors Choir throughout highschool and I made the All Northwestern United States Honors Choir every year I was eligible (freshmen are not allowed to participate). My highschool choir also went on foreign tours my sophomore and senior years. I have also performed at several Pops concerts performed by my choirs. I have actually met artists whose songs that I have performed and was complemented by both Lionel Ritchie (All Night Long) and Bruce Springsteen (I'm on Fire) my choir was also praised by several artists for performing "We Are the World" while in Japan and Hong Kong. I was actually asked by Willie Nelson for a copy of the recording of my highschool choir when I lived in Texas and happened to have the concert tape playing when I drove up to his bar in Elm Mott. I was lucky to be trained in singing by 2 of the greatest choir directors to ever live in my opinion. You will never find teachers who love music as i had in Boyd Holland (junior high school, may he rest in peace he passed away my sophomore year of highschool from cancer. He put off treatment for lung and brain cancer my freshman year of highschool because he refused to let down his students by leaving 2 months into the year. By the end of the year it was too late to save him.) and Renee Henderson in highschool. She was known worldwide for taking her choirs on international tours every 3 years. She has taken choirs to Europe, Asia, and Australia. She taught music and choirs in my school district for 40 years and we figured out when she retired that she had over 34,000 students in her highschool choirs and actually taught 3 generations of the same family. My niece cried for almost a week upon her retirement because my niece had been waiting for 5 years to finally enter highschool so she could learn from Ms. Henderson and "Hendy" as she was known retired the year before my niece reached the ninth grade. I come from a town of 5,000 people and the highschool only had 450 students but the choir averaged 265 students every year for over 25 years.
