Singer And Rapper Reacts to Disturbed “Down With The Sickness”

[@rebeccakrause7057]

The look on their faces during 'the rant ' is classic.. Disturbed RULES!!

[@nine-dogs]

And they went from shook to right back into groovin'. Loved it!

[@thedirtyblonde666]

@@nine-dogs that’s what I said too! This was so good.

[@chaosmage1756]

I think it's one of the best reactions to it that I've seen

[@allenjohnstone9945]

You get it girl...love and stay safe all

[@BrodiemanAXT]

I’m happy I saw this comment before I got to that part. The anticipation added to to it 😂 it’s the reaction this song deserves

[@jerrodkimball4553]

She is the first person that i have seen that reacted to this version of the song, that actually understood the part of the stages of child abuse in this song. Way to go.

[@BurritoLuvr]

It not about child abuse

[@zanewood94]

Thank You for listening to the unedited version

[@luciferluci4570]

right!

[@89801wink]

As the child of an extremely heavy handed Dad (many years ago)...this still brings up that old emotion.

[@simon824]

Hope the curse stops with you. Get help if you need. I needed to.

[@wendyc.beecher3336]

I relate to this with " mother" being literal. It is a journey many abused children experience

[@pepepepert]

Sitting at the Drs office and he says "Open up and say ah" Me: Oh ah ah ah ah ah Dr: I see you are down with the sickness.

[@AlyssaJade3]

I work in a Drs office, and now have to find the appropriate moment to make this joke 😆

[@simonmonk7266]

Lmfao 😂😂😂😂

[@katiewehrle2727]

Hahahahaha!

[@christyzeeaquarianated2600]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@madcracker84]

As twisted as these songs seem it's how people deal with emotions and express what they're feeling without actually acting on them. Imagine being in that situation and hearing a song that portrays how you feel and the comfort and expression it can give you. Great breakdown Mel, I think you got a great understanding.

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey S & M Squad!!! Thank you all so much for watching! We hope you are having a great day on purpose!!! We also hope you enjoyed the video!!!

[@coltonmartin2690]

Hey I I'm a new subscriber and love y'all's reactions. Plz react to Disturbed's The Night. I think it's one of their better ones and gets pretty deep. Hope y'all keep doing these, and enjoy! It's gonna be a wild ride!

[@paxmorgana]

"Inside the Fire" is another good one by them (Disturbed), but seriously prepare yourself, it's pretty dark and it goes into some serious subject matter. Like suicide chain/spiral places kinda dark.

[@tailsof1leo180]

Would love to see them react to this song!

[@amystreet5402]

Yes "Inside the Fire" is a great song but its intense, he even attached a warning in the beginning of the video, but its a great song

[@AlyssaJade3]

Maybe note that it's about Suicide, for anyone that hasn't heard Inside the Fire before. It's a great piece, but is def dark

[@ryanmarler4900]

I love how they let the song play through to the end. Hard song for some to understand and they got it and gave a good review.

[@justinmurphy4520]

Love seeing new people introduced to Disturbed as a 20 year fan. some recommendations Prayer, Inside the Fire, Hold on to Memories, The Animal, Warrior, Vengeful One, Are You Ready. There are endless other greats but these are must hear IMO

[@blameitonthepixie]

Got to agree with you😎

[@jmed5923]

Remember (from disturbed) is so beautiful too

[@pazzn1177]

I love how even after "that part" and the horror of the words. You still cant help bumping to it when the song comes back.

[@rickjames420]

😂😂😂 That made me laugh when they started nodding after that lol

[@veritasaequitas4910]

That reaction was priceless. When Mel described her thoughts at the end was absolutely spot on! Excellent, that couldn’t have been said better! 👍🏻 🙏🏻 Happy I found your channel.

[@pneuma2361]

*”MOTHER”* is a term for the government. Don’t worry, he’s not literally talking about his mother, or a mother in general. I hope y’all read this so you don’t get this song wrong.

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey Samoan, thank you for the explanation 💜

[@MrEfreeman]

I bought their album when it first came out and was blasting it in my room. My mother rushed in damn near knocked my block off for listening to it. I had to explain it to her, then she was cool. She was a big hippy and totally agreed . Anyway she bought every album afterwards until she passed away.

[@pneuma2361]

@@ShawnandMel4Life Happy to help. Keep up the reactions. Aloha 🌺💚

@@MrEfreeman lol, you almost had it 😄 Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

And mainstream society with how they treat outcasts and people who don’t fit the norm of acceptable society when this came out because at the time outcasts were being targeted because of the Columbine Massacre and lgbt people were still being persecuted by most of society

[@charleslatora5750]

They look so innocent.They ain't ready...😈😈😈

[@shaylengould4807]

🤣 they need to listen to system of a Down next

[@bearmageddond4236]

Thank you so much for listening to the un-edited version

[@arronknox2884]

coming form someone who tends to hold in emotions, music like this helps me cope with them. metal is an amazing stress reliever.

[@bettyf584]

I absolutely loved your faces during that song. Such a switch from “Sound of Silence”. Disturbed also has songs that are thought provoking and supportive. Check out: “Reason to Fight” & “Hold on to Memories”

[@Bemadabava]

These two songs are amazing by them

[@Damien_Paxton]

AND WHEN I DREAM!!!! HA HA HA Loved it.

[@HistorysRaven]

New to Disturbed and listens to Sound of Silence: “Alright. We’re good. That was great.” Second song is Down With the Sickness: “What did we get ourselves into?!?!?!”

[@rebelbabeconner9064]

EXACTLY.... YOU HIT IT ON THE NOSE.... He said... When I dream.... WOW... DISTURBED does touch on these hard subjects.... its POWERFUL and a lot of people know this PAIN...

[@wrightstuf73sw]

I love everybody's reaction to that last bit where he talks about his violent mother, because I know it's coming and to see the expression on your faces is priceless

[@shaylengould4807]

Yep. I was waiting 🤣

[@inibrius5380]

I've seen them in concert a few times...10,000 people yelling along during the breakdown is something to experience.

[@robwoger1974]

My son and I seen them in Ft. Wayne. Everyone sang “Down with the Sickness” with David. It was an awesome thing to be a part of. You could see the band enjoying it too

[@joannepepin6324]

Thank you for understanding the meaning of this song

[@StormKing757]

I have to say your reaction to the Rant, had me gut busting laughing your faces were priceless

[@personlastname517]

My mom would play this in the car with us kids lmao!!! I was into Josh Groban and my mom listening to this kind of music haha we are best friends!

[@kelleyc6975]

My son and I play it in the song together too 🤣🤦‍♀️ he’s one of my best friends as well. Maybe there’s something to that music bond. We listen to a lot of music together we both enjoy. Going to see Rage in August🤷‍♀️ it is what it is 😁

[@oddindian1]

The abuse by society on the individual. "Mother" is another term for society.

[@devindiaz5050]

Want one that will really emotionally tear you apart. Korn “Daddy”.

[@patricksolomon4085]

I grew up with my mom beating me and my brother and telling me how worthless I was and that she wished I was never born. In those moments I wanted to physically lash out at her this song mentally, emotionally, and physically saved me from doing something I could never take back out of a fit of anger and resentment. Disturbed has saved my life on many levels many different times in my life.

[@vanessahunt586]

Your reaction is awesome 👍🎶💖👍💖🎶 disturbed are one of my favorites,more awesome Disturbed songs are inside the fire, stricken, indestructible, stupify,a reason to fight & hold on to memories 👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖👍

"Prayer' by Disturbed is a must

Underrated Disturbed song

The middle rant always DISTURBED me LOL. Great reaction 🤟🏻👍🏻

Used to watch these guys at a small bar called Champs on the south side of Chicago by my house at 16 years old. LOVED them ever since.

[@jimmeyer9106]

haha I love the "wtf did I just hear?" Faces

You guys are probably the only ones to get this reaction right the first time lol kuddos on that 🤘

[@sterlingjohnson8229]

I love your reaction to this song! Thank you guys for choosing the uncensored version not too many ppl who just react to the PG version or censored. Keep up reactions!

[@lukestark3]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 the shock at the mommy beatin 😂😂😂 hilarious

[@ShawnandMel4Life]

Hey Luke, I wasn’t expecting that Mommy beating 😂

[@lukestark3]

I heard it first when I was about 13, scared the shit outta me! 😂 check out inside the fire for a good look at these guys. They also do a great cover of land of confusion as well 👍 enjoy the distubing journey! One of a kind voice

[@rehecke7124]

I been on a "The Sound of Silence" reaction binge today and I knew as soon as you asked people to tell y'all about Disturbed this was inevitable. This isn't music you can just listen to. Disturbed performs art that you FEEL.

[@timkemp3294]

Absolutely freaking awesome reaction. First one I've heard that actually understood the message. I have watched several reactions to this video or song and most people are speechless after the rant. I appreciate you guys!

[@chrismuse2784]

Best reaction to the sickness ever!!!!!!!

[@SebasTian58323]

Finally, a reaction that doesn't react to the version that cuts out the rant. This 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, most likely by killing the people that hurt them ("here it comes, get ready to die!") A good example of this would be the school shootings that go on around the country. Getting "Down With The Sickness" means accepting people for who they are so we can all function better.

[@sarahadamoyurka5403]

This my wake up alarm, it gets me up and moving. My husband likes the group but not at 5 AM 😉.

[@kylonmagnus4587]

Y'all have great reactions, I love that y'all let the song play, and then really talk about what you thought.

[@frankrojas304]

I just want to say how much I love how open you two are to different genres of music. Especially her, right off the bat she understood and put herself in someone anothers shoes.

My heart still races every time I hear that "Mommy" part. It's way too real. P.S. My mother is a Saint.

[@sissy9393]

Abuse of children is exactly what you get when they grow up. It is triggering and sad. Love ❤️

#1 on workout playlist... Then on repeat

[@pjsin9472]

Absolutely enjoy this reaction. The looks on your faces! But then your commentary after. Very very smart and then lightened.

[@PongGod]

Personally, my preferred Disturbed songs are "Stupify" and "Pain Redefined".

[@wendyc.beecher3336]

Stupify my favorite of all time

[@unseenmal]

10,000 Fists.....it's my favorite Disturbed song.

[@tjhorne82]

If y'all haven't checked out any Jinjer, I highly recommend them. The best song to introduce you to for them is "Pisces (live studio session)". From there the rabbit hole goes further

He's calling for an uprising against abuse of all kinds! Great reaction!

I love the way she thinks, most people would just discard as hate, and no they're speaking for those that hurt. Doesnt even have to be on a direct level as mother can be even broader.

[@dennisgallant8312]

Disturbed has been around for a long time. A couple of more recent songs that are worthy are, "Stricken" and " The Light" . The light being my personal fave. Many more awesome songs for you also.

[@bonesmama1273]

Hush- By HellYeah. Reminds me of my childhood whenever I hear it. Almost a therapy in itself.

[@alberthart4146]

people like to drop this on unexpecting reactors because of its shock value. of which, you two were hit hard with it. with that said though, Mel, congrats on catching the message of the song. child abuse is a real problem, a silent problem, that needs remedied. now, not all Disturbed songs are this shocking. i would suggest Land Of Confusion (Genesis cover), also The Game, and two of my personal favorites Inside The Fire and Get Psycho. Inside The Fire is also another super deep message song...but without the shock lyrics, i promise

[@grigoriorifiel]

I've watched a lot of reactions to this song. I wait until the dream sequence in this version to see the look on people's faces. It's always amusing to watch and you two were no different. I will say that most people don't get it but Mel you got it, nail on the head.

[@andrewmccormack4295]

The look of shock and horror on your faces during the spoken verses was hilarious,has to be the best reaction to that section I've ever seen.

Would love for you guys to React to Avenged Sevenfold's Hail To The King and Nightmare

[@revenge4468]

Yep gotta get prepared

[@michaeltabor4176]

They have quite a few songs that touch on awareness of sensitive topics. "Inside the fire" and "A Reason To Fight" both deal with suicide. And yes, they can really switch up their style quite well.
