Sound of Silence by Disturbed Reaction

[@evelynwashere13]

Great reaction. I LOVE this song and love when new people are shocked by his voice. I've lost count of how many times I've heard this and still get chills

[@owenmason]

same same same. so oversaid. but i couldn't say it better.

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

So on point!! Same here. You just can't compare the two really. Performed totally diff making it two individual songs actually .. imho.

[@quintonknight4673]

David and Floor Jansen get the best reactions to their voices

[@jeffstevens4262]

It's been said in a number of different places that Paul Simon himself absolutely loves this version of his classic and iconic song, so I think that says everything. David Draiman's voice is absolutely wonderful, strong and powerful whilst at the same time being soft and emotional., and of course backed up by some amazing musicians. When you see how many people have already viewed the original video, you see just how popular this particular version is around the world.

[@mikekay3313]

I applauded out loud when you rated full glass of wine :) I so agree. Chills.

[@adammcdonald3632]

The version they did live on Conan is EPIC

[@Nightwatchman53]

She should definitely react to that version

[@debdowell8006]

And more amazing, he was running a 103 fever.

[@lowwatthalo1654]

Supposedly he's pissed they used auto-tune on Conan 'just in case'. He sat for that performance because of his illness, but still belted it into orbit - amazing singer. More importantly, Paul Simon reached out to him to say it's his favourite cover, ever. Game Over.

[@musicluvr70]

Actually, I prefer this over the Conan version.

[@darrylwillett8359]

The version is pure gold!

[@MetalMonkey]

One of the greatest covers ever. Paul Simon loved it

[@jfk64kennedy95]

don't care how many times i hear, i get a visceral reaction to this song

[@reanimated]

Kinda forget to breathe for a bit, eh?

[@sharonramsey1731]

Great reaction! It's so nice to see a reaction by someone else who remembers the original well. David Draimin's voice is mind blowing. The band's orchestral arrangement enriches the listener's journey through the song. Regardless of the which of their versions I listen to, I get chills every time without fail.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Just stumbled upon this video, and im gonna be honest. You had my subscription when you explained the rating system. Didnt even have to see the rest. :)

[@WineNotReactions]

Welcome...thanks for joining us🍷🍷🍷

[@caroline61804]

The scene of grabbing that drum was a hint to the emotion building soon to be heard. So wonderfully done the videography the instrument build up and the breaking of the rhythm on the piano That deep voice and the range. Love it ❤

[@kellifranklin4432]

I'm so happy I found your channel! I'm about your age, I love great music and I'm a wine drinker. It's only red wine for me though. The very first time I heard this I was floored. I resisted for years hearing this cover but once I did I was ashamed I waited so long to listen to it. They are so respectful of the original while completely making this their own. Just beautiful. Looking forward to more of your content!

[@lacyInmon1978]

Disturbed's version gave me goosebumps and had me in tears at the same time.

[@virginiafisk3912]

Me, too😢

[@billhicks6449]

The best way I've heard it put. Simon and Garfunkel was a warning, Disturbed is an indictment.

[@somersetcace1]

Best way I've heard it put as well. What I really love about it, is that this cover, while every bit as awesome as the original, doesn't overshadow the original. It's almost as though they are two separate songs, equally as awesome in their own way.

[@billmafturack8189]

Two very different interpretations and inflections giving the listener two very different emotional connections . I loved the original then and now understand it’s deeper full meaning in today’s world . 💙🎶🎶

[@stanzaloan3454]

@@billmafturack8189 Every bit as relevant. I been wondering how people reacted to the original when it dropped for the first time. When they had nothing to compare it to

[@billmafturack8189]

@@stanzaloan3454 the original stuck a chord in those who recognized the disconnection of people and the separation of generations ideals and our desire for peace and communication. With disturbed the visceral anger and building of emotions is so much clearer representation of today’s world of discord and loss of that ideal ..

[@bradsimoneau5729]

I'm in a major rabbithole of watching reactions to this beautiful version of this song. Prolly 30 times a day lol

[@MusicLover-rt4bs]

I try and watch every reaction to this version. MAD respect to David Draiman. Insanely good.

[@julieschultz6363]

This one's so emotionally and vocally powerful and makes me cry every time. I never thought about the whole black and white thing.

[@travisloader3446]

I just discovered your channel. I love reaction channels but yours hit me today because it brought back memories of my mom that passed away in 2017. You remind me if her. She loved music of all kinds. And was always willing to give a chance to songs that I would suggest to her. She was also a musician. Played piano for as long as I remember and even had a band with my stepdad, who passed not long before her, and I even played with them sometimes. I remember showing her this version of sound of silence not long before she passed. She loved it of course. She was of course a fan of Simon and Garfunkel and introduced me to so many groups as I was growing up. I'm 50 now. Still miss her every day. Everytime I watch channels like this I still think to myself, I need to show my mom this. Then realize I can never do that again. Sorry for the long comment, but it just reminded me if her seeing your reactions to all kinds of music. And she loved wine too. Lol. Thank you for your content it's great. Keep going. Music keeps me going. I lost my disabled son in August. He was only 28. He loved music too. And I just hope he's up there with my mom watching over me and my 2 daughters and grandkids that she only got to meet one of. Sorry again for the book I just wrote. But just felt I needed to write to you. Hope you read this. And thank you. Keep it up. Much love! ❤️

[@ApacheIrish62]

Powerful voice, haunting, chilling, awe inspiring...words fail me. The BEST cover of any song, EVER

[@cden409]

I like it when no talking while the video plays. This cover is amazing 🎶🎤

[@iwasframedformyparentscrim9519]

Simon and Garfunkel’s song was a warning. Disturber’s version is anger that the warning wasn’t heeded.

[@mikelabor7688]

I have watched several vids like this one, a listener hearing for the first time; this cover. Yours is far and away the most entertaining. Good job!

[@jans4248]

you should check out the live version on Conan , he was sick with the flu but still put out a stellar performance

[@adammcdonald3632]

That live version is EPIC. Being an S&G fan as well, the cover took awhile to grow on me. The live version on Conan NAILED IT for me.

[@eyesonheaven4765]

Agree. That is the one that should be reviewed. Both version are great though.

[@Win52D]

Was never a fan of the original version...this version always moves me...amazing cover.

[@alasandraorali6798]

The vocals at the end is called "Voice Fry" he is a master of that without damage to the vocal cords.

[@ATAH69]

I would agree, Great reaction Cash! The black & white aspect spoke volumes about the actual meaning of this classic song! Telling a very visual story, Near the end of the video you were trying to make out all the people in the background, The Musician's on one side of the water & The song writer's on the other side, Showing the division of what the song is actually about But then at the end the big ship arrives & is what Brought the musician's & song writer's together as one! I'm old enough that Paul & Art's version really is the one as many other's have covered the song but No one has done a decent cover of the song, Til now Disturbed not only brought this classic back but made you experience the true meaning of the song While David sang his heart out! The man can sing... Very cool that you enjoyed this cover & Also happy that you did... Kevin

[@WineNotReactions]

Thanks🍷🍷

[@michaelleonardo8193]

Thank you Simon and Garfunkel for birthing the Sound of Silence.Kudos to Disturbed for bringing it life!

[@Wiganpilot]

It certainly is an awesome rendition of a great song, everything about it is very well executed.

[@mlong1958]

The live Conan version is even more impressive. You might want to just have a couple of spare bottles on hand after that one. It is said that Simon and Garfunkel's version was the warning and Disturbed's version was the rage that it wasn't heeded.

[@WineNotReactions]

Great background...thanks🍷🍷🍷

[@alejozam]

Nice reaction. I speak Spanish and it’s relaxing to hear your voice, I confess. Thanks for your reaction to this excellent band.

[@gdiaz8827]

Great job on on this reaction. It's good to see u are getting comfortable with generating content. Request: shinedown simple man Its another cover hope u like. Cheers

[@musicluvr70]

I just found your channel one reaction ago (you did Pink Floyd- Time) I'm willing to bet before watching this that you bring out the whole bottle. I'm 67, and as good as I thought the original was, this version moved to my favorite of the two after my first time hearing it.

[@MisKunimitsuTezuka]

the band is Disturbed and they are actually a metal band. this has to be one of my fave songs from them by far they have done some cover songs other than this one there is at lest a few others songs he done where he somewhat slowed it down and put more into it to get the point acrossed their music usually mean something. their usual sound is "Down with the Sickness" David Draiman is classically trained

[@mindyreschly2424]

I love ur reaction I subscribed just now and hell ya I got my 50 year port out for a morning of reaction time with David Draimen and all the reactions just for fun of it !

[@WineNotReactions]

Thanks for joining us🍷🍷🍷

[@Crownd1_]

I find you visually stimulating, if I may say so. Loved the reaction as well. 😉😎✌

[@vigilantmoth7947]

You hadn't yet started the song before I'd clicked the like button.

[@johnjackson374]

Not sure if you realize but David Draimon is the lead singer to a heavy metal band. The lyrics really came coo life more than Simon and Garfunkel. David illustrated how we speak but not talk listen but not hear. Isn’t this true about society today? Lastly, musicians are on one side, the masses on the other. But alas, music brings us together

[@emilyflotilla931]

Simon and Garfunkel did a warning call, Disturbed did a clarion call! I'm not a drinker anymore (39 years sober) but I give this a full bottle.

[@odinspromise]

50 + years ago, Simon & Garfunkel released this song as a warning. DISTURBED re-released it in anger, that the warning was never heeded. peace??? (I wonder?)...

[@joegroves1519]

MANY people keep saying the “Live” version on Conan is better. The singing, maybe. But the VISUALS of the video… CRUSHING.

[@BryanRegoli]

Born in the fifties,it disturbs me how much more I like this version of this song

[@5762dg]

Love the fact that you didn't neither pause nor speak through the song

[@brianb6024]

This is an interesting cover ! I remember Simon and Garfunkle's version so well, and it's interesting to hear another more contemporary version 🙂🎵👍. Thanks for a nice reaction!

[@sandiwhite9152]

I adore u…. I’m a younger version of u and I never really got a feel from the original.. S&G we’re just old fogies to me…couldn’t relate. When this version came out, I was hit w a ton of bricks!! And I love the ideas that I see now about the original version and Disturb’s version… Original was a warning. This remake is the anger that the warning wasn’t heeded!.. 💕🙏🏼🇺🇸America The Beautiful !

[@metalmark1214]

Paul Simon said this is the best cover that he's ever heard

[@nathan.brazil780]

Paul Simon endorsed this as the best cover he has ever heard

[@davemac1197]

Hi Cash, this is one I have seen on another reaction channel (that may contain the words 'Son', 'Father', and 'and') and I said I was getting Viking vibes but found out from computer they were from Chicago. The song I know is an old classic from 1964, not one of my favourites but I liked what Disturbed did with it. Disturbed had previously done a cover of the Genesis song Land Of Confusion, so I would recommend either version of that song as a reaction because both official videos are very interesting, maybe even a double header reaction if you're up for it? I usually check UK chart stats for these things and Sound Of Silence did okay, it reached #29 in 2016. Land Of Confusion was not so successful at #79 in 2006, Genesis did better at #14 in 1986. Another half glass for me, cheers.

[@WineNotReactions]

Ive not seen that version but really like all of Genesis so will check it out! Thx

[@joegroves1519]

Wine & good music?! I’m IN!!! ❤❤❤ You’ll need a coupla more bottles to correctly ‘grade’ this song. Salut!

[@VladimirBlarp]

Experience. That's the only word to describe this song. You don't dance to it, you don't just listen to it, you experience it. S&G gave us the lyrics, David Draiman gave us the warning.

[@reallybadgamer]

Great job! lol.. I LOVE your rating system... I may just have glass with you :)

[@maureenjones7222]

You need to listen to the live version on conan. Absolutely brilliant! x

[@deco9863]

It's jaw-dropping 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯

[@thedominator87]

pour another glass because the conan o'brian live version is even better so check that one out

[@deco9863]

Jaw-dropping

[@gvfryguy]

Great reaction. You should check out Falling in Reverse's "I'm not a vampire revamped" they took one of their old songs and reimagined it to a surprising result.

[@joannparker1977]

I’m kind of older. I grew up listening to The Sound of Silence album. My parents played it and loved it. Now I’m 62. Simon and Garfunkel’s version cannot be beat. But- this is a whole other take on this song. Not as good as the original, but it’s GOOD. Powerful and very emotional.

[@brettmanus7904]

Nope, not 'as good',it is SUPERIOR!

[@brettmanus7904]

You MUST check out the live version from Conan. It is AMAZING. Plus, he was so ill that he had to sit, and it is phenomenal.

[@deco9863]

One of the top three live performances in music history. It's jaw-dropping 🤯 🤯 🤯

[@milesjergens9088]

Love your reaction, thank you. Please check out the live version on the Conan show... believe it or not, it's even better!

[@pica6888]

Before being in a band Dave Draiman had trained to be a Cantor. That explains the range of his voice.

[@michellemiles9966]

Being so familiar with the original, you would probably really enjoy the live version of Disturbed in Houston featuring Myles Kennedy. The harmonies are great.

[@randybaker6042]

Whew. Went from Zombie to this one. Good connection to the song. Definitely a full glass of wine.

[@stixstudios3380]

Dark, Angry, Powerful... Beautiful.

One thing is for sure.... she's a blonde

[@billmafturack8189]

Take a moment to watch and see the story in the visual story and how it applies 😮 The musicians resurrecting instruments bringing them to the shores. on the other side the music written but unheard and the ship bringing musicians to the written music at the end

[@virginiafisk3912]

Nobody wants to hear your off-key singing with the artist. How can you possibly review something you aren't really listening to? Disturbed's version takes the same words of the original and adds new, profound and immediate urgency to the human situation! We ARE in the emergency that Simon & Garfunkel warned us about 50 years ago. YOU Missed it‼️

[@davidsuttles101]

Hello beautiful lady! Great reaction! The live version on Conan is way better but, this one is good. I’d love to share a glass of wine or two with you!

[@kennethgardner3090]

A song I hope you will react to is "Wrong Side Of Heaven" . It`s the deepest song I know.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 Great cover of a classic Simon & Garfunkel song! I can imagine this is how Queensreich would cover it. Or Metallica.

Starts off silence first, then he says Hello Darkness my old friend. To me it tells me black and white was perfect

[@Green-Lyon]

Those with the instruments coming to join the ones with the music. But interestingly we don't get to see them actually arrive. I wonder if it is left open on purpose. A question for us as to whether we will come together or not, perhaps?

[@sarahsimmerman3554]

If you're singing along with the song you're not listening to the artist whose interpreting it. You are hearing it in your head the way you used to hear it. Also commenting on to video or visuals, really has nothing to do with the singer either.

[@hughwelsh201]

As every reactor, first words, WOW! Yes David did the song a huge justice. Full glass? Come on full bottle, much! Now, do us a favour (favor), watch the Conan live version, it is even better then the studio recording, oh and apparently he was sick with a flu, but still sang live. It's also said that the sound techs used a bit of auto tune on him, and when heard it [found out], he went off at them as he sang it as it should be. After this you'll want the whole vineyard to drink over and over.

[@jimedwards1955]

The original was a suggestion whereas his version is a harbinger.

[@tracey127]

You can’t sing louder than David Draiman. Jeez

[@RunNorthEnt]

To me S&Gs version is like a warning to the people and Disturbs version is like ok you didn't listen now I'm pissed..... If you liked this cover you should hear their great cover of the genesis song Land of confusion. It is also so well done. They also did a cover of Shout that is banging.... As well as many original songs

[@jamesmadden8724]

[@emenem6131]

I was impressed with the live performance on Conan (I think it was, sorry if I’m wrong about that people) it caught me off guard. Of course I prefer the original 😏 but this was a great remake. Kinda like when Whitney did her version of “I will always love you”…….she was amazing but I still liked Dolly Parton’s original version better. (Can’t help it) It’s music and I love it all.

[@danchavez8987]

Perhaps you remember the True meaning...Back in the 60's...was a time of War, Discrimination, Racism, blatant fundamental Civil Rights deprivations. One could NOT speak out without major consequences (like being threatened of your life for speaking out.) Comedians could get away with it in sarcasm, and through music, the "messages" could not be stopped...In that time communication was very bleak with only fuzzy radio, and fuzzy tv...that's it...So when musicians (Bands) became very popular/famous and millions would hear...They became powerful and a serious threat as influential to the masses to change, by demanding equality, freedom, revealing hypocritical religions (neon God they made) etc...The population always knew music's truth...but remained silent out of fear, of retaliation, disfranchisement, so no one dared (other than fans stereotyped as hippies and Blacks that did protest and riot against the establishment for change)...Musicians (bands) were always broken up due to their mass influence, through suspected mysterious ways, from death of a featured performer, to plane crashes, overdoses etc..by breaking them up in ways equal to that of "looking like an accident"...The biggest protest amongst humanity, (in that time mind you) was the technology of people talking without speaking, and hearing without listening (the seeds planted as you slept...but one's eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night...(and your life)... removing the true sounds of silence, considered free will...People were sent to nut farms and destroyed for voicing aloud of so...Although it does fit differently today with texting...The writing on subway walls was like tenement halls in that time, it was very much like bumper stickers, or hallmark sayings...with lots of WISDOM and common sense that came from the poor and oppressed and was their only way to speak out truths in protest...In spite to stop the messages of truth in war through music...it will always survive to carry its messages that remain and echo in the wells of silence...That again echo today...

This is one of my fav covers. You should also really check out Nightwish - they are a Symphonic Metal band with possibly the best female singer on the planet right now. Check out Ghost Love Score from the Waken 2013 concert. Amazing! Also the band Bad Wolves remade the Cranberries Zombie song bringing it up to date too - it is really powerful.
