Theatre Kid Reacts to Disturbed: Sound Of Silence

[@CharisSellick]

For everyone saying I need to listen to the Live version Theatre Kid Reacts to Disturbed: Sound Of Silence LIVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHiag42dfMqXiNE

[@randymarple9830]

I grew up listening to this song, but I never 'heard' it until this version. The words are even more relevant today than they were in the 60s.

[@loriprice1518]

Total eye opener

[@robertcampopiano6001]

Exactly.

[@killerkarlos]

I'm sure that those chin piercings are actually wearing him as an accessory, not the other way round! This cover is truly remarkable and David Draiman adds that grit that takes this to a higher level. Goosebumps every single time.

[@loriprice1518]

Those piercings, …mmmm good he sports them well!!

[@loriprice1518]

Seeing him in concert is off the chain! In my 60’s seen him 10times can’t wait til he hits Atlanta illlll be there! Rock on

[@pkj77]

David took them out after turning 40 he said so in an interview :)

***** The Warning ***** "And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon gods they made." ~ Paul Simon "And the people bowed and prayed, to the golden calf they made." ~ Old Testament ~ "The Sound of Silence" performed by Disturbed. . "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, Recorded in March 1964

[@kennethcook9406]

David Draiman (the singer) is a trained Jewish Temple Cantor (the person singing to call people to worship) as was his father and grandfather. Which is part of why he's so talented.

[@robertcampopiano6001]

The way he’s looking at the camera with his head tilted down and looking straight at the camera is a classic example of what’s called a “Kubrick Stare”.

[@patrickmarks1129]

I don't have a list of top 5 covers, but this is definitely on it. Making a great song even better is so difficult and they did it.

[@dadoleyna]

I don't know if one can call a remake by the same artist a 'cover', but Depeche Mode redid their own song from the 80's 'But Not Tonight" for their concert tour in 2014 (year?) The new incarnation has the same words, and generally the same melody, but the vocalist switched from Gahan to Gore and the arrangement moved from 80's synth to a piano / vocalist stripped down presentation. Hard to imagine it's the same guys. Another of the same band / different take songs is REO Speedwagon, who redid their 70's hit 'Ridin' the Storm Out' for an XM radio unplugged show in 2000-something. Again, it may as well be a different song and may as well be a different band, except that Cronin sings both.

[@xXxGR33NDR3AMSxXx]

Those are definitely in his face 😂 he's had them for at least 15 years. He sounds spot on live also, which blew my mind when I was younger

[@jerryactrik1901]

He stopped wearing them last year though. I don't know if he gave a reason, but he is 50 and his kid's like 10 so I'm sure it was just time.

[@DaP84]

He has pitch probs live often, a bit off lot of times. I wonder why, cause his range is great. Might be stage monitoring

[@jerryactrik1901]

@@DaP84 that tone where he really pinches the notes in his throat (The Game, Stricken, etc) seem to be the ones he has the most issue with. Overall he's still amazing live, but you can usually count on a few weird notes. The "Rah Rah" ad lib he does in The Game usually comes out more like "quack quack"

[@discussdebate]

Disturbed - Sound Of Silence (live 3/28/16 Conan Show) = kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJyag4mtaK5rm8k

[@ThisOldHelmet]

I once heard the original Simon and Garfunkel song was a warning about what could happen and Disturbed’s version is anger at what has happened

[@wildcountry72]

It's that we didn't heed that warning.

[@ThisOldHelmet]

@@wildcountry72 Yes. That is what has happened.

[@monaboutet6863]

Agreed 👍

[@williamparker1978]

They are piercings. I used to have two posts in my lip that the jewelry screws onto. They kind of look like thumbtacks with screws on the end. I had jewelry similar to his.

[@michaelhoffman4542]

Out of all the versions of this song, this is my favorite. Disturbed is awesome, David's vocal range is fucking amazing. Sorry for the vulgarities.

[@bradsouthers7476]

This song has been covered a hundred times but there are only three must-listen versions: the original by Simon and Garfunkel, this one, and the one by Pentatonix - in that order.

[@davidedwards7890]

The good and rage about the state humanity 's struggle to communicate, and how even music can even fail to communicate the connection between human beings or human beings. David's face said all!!!!! I love those guys. 😂

[@czkid54]

This used to be my fave video for reactions... but now I'm hooked in "Hi Ren" by Ren.... Independent artist who is just conquering the internet....

[@l1ghtny]

It seems like there are not that many suggestions in the comments so I'll give it a shot. The thing you need to know is that this is not a very typical Disturbed sound. However, if you enjoyed this song, you might also want to check out more ballad type songs from them. "Hold on to memories" and "A reason to fight" are both great. I would like also to hear your thoughts on the cover of Sting's song they did "If I ever lose my faith in you". If you would like to get more of an authentic Disturbed sound, you have a wide range of sons to choose from: "Down with the sickness" - a classic, you have definitely heard parts from it "Stupify" - also an iconic Disturbed song from an early album "The light" - the newer sound when they incorporated more melodic sounding things into their old style "Are you ready" - flagman of one of their recent albums "Bad man" - an interesting song with a clear meaning from their latest 2022 album

[@kevinstull8552]

"Believe" is another beautiful song from them too.

[@silversong4VR]

Both excellent suggestions! Hold on to Memories first (most gentle).

[@vernhoke7730]

I first heard Simon and Garfunkels version way back in the late sixties. When I heard this version I got chills.

[@loriprice1518]

Grew up w/simon/Garfunkel this just brought the message they were giving about the future who would of known~Disturbed brought it to life in such a “Justice” of another Artists vision. Bow down challenge!!

[@loriprice1518]

I have seen disturbed 10 times in concert I’m in my 60’s plan on seeing them again when they hit Atlanta!!!

[@94520shatto]

The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is sad resignation. The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is Listen, DAMMIT!

[@kennethvannorwick3557]

This version of this song truly matches the lyrics in a way even the original does not. Even Paul Simon said the song belongs to Disturbed now, and he even put this version on his own site for a time. Recommendation: Down with the Sickness, The Light, and You’re Mine are good choices.

[@dianerhodes1459]

Paul Simon gave this song to them he was so ecstatic with this version..LISTEN TO THE WORDS AND MEANING...DONT INTERRUPT..COMMENT AT END..

[@loriprice1518]

Yes he has piercings bottom below lip I might add he takes them out when he visits home and family~ they have a lot of great songs listen to Down with the sickness and wrong side of heaven those will give you a real feel of “Disturbed”

[@BrotherPraetus]

Recently watched an interview David did with The Charismatic Voice, another reactor, and he has since ceased wearing the double lebret because, to paraphrase his words, he wanted to stop being a 50 year old Hot Topics kid. You may also like the version Disturbed did with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge in a duet with David.

[@b.c.5003]

To get an idea of their typical sound, look up ,”Down with the sickness “.

[@thedarcbird]

Have you seen "I'm Going Slightly Mad" by Queen???

[@ibstrummin2]

to get a good comparison of Disturbed's musical spektrum, now that you've heard this, you should check out "Down with the Sickness", and i would also suggest the album version (or full version) vs the video or radio version.

[@RobertDunbar169]

Those are called snake bites and yes gauged piercing

[@travisr4057]

Just a note...yes they are "Labret" piercings and not as painful as you would think ;)

[@reenstierna6111]

I love how you mention his eyes, only for him to sing about his eyes. Im not 100% certain about his chin piercings but they are removable as he has so much respect for his grandfather he never had tattoos done and has piercings done so he can remove them when he visits him.

[@joenewman6494]

Excellent reaction do Down With The Sickness next will not disappoint.

[@moudavis5830]

This artist is normally very hard heavy metal

[@markroberts8864]

This is a great cover by Disturbed, the song was originally written and released by Paul Simon, of the duo, Simon and Garfunkel in 1964.

[@tonyfurminger8308]

I wonder how Paul Simon feels after finding out he wrote this song for David Draimon and didn't even know it

[@deminybs]

one of the best covers ever??

[@AlexiosTheWretched]

“Is this in his face?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@horrorbizness2043]

They are called snake bites and attached inside of the lip.

[@jasonmiller1514]

Down With The Sickness Stupify Ten Thousand Fist's (cover) And so many more!

[@gailspaw5521]

Love Disturbed❤

[@andresmoreno8762]

so beautiful disturbed performance is amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍

[@pkj77]

I love Disturbed, Girl you have no idea how much hate this band gets from People on the internet its insane, love your reaction, yes that was a piercing David took them out though he said after turning 40 out they goes

[@gaborlipcsei5160]

We finally found someone who can sing the 1964 song normally, because as far as I could see, it was just a cat meowing! That's right!!! David was fucking so good!!!!!🙃🙃

[@steve9199]

David Draiman is operatically trained... just so you know.

[@royj.mattice]

I love this version of "Sound of Silence." It was a favorite of my late father. There is a similar bass cover by KZbin artist Bobby Bass. Definitely check it out!

[@t0aster_b4th]

They definitely were chin peircings, i believe he took them out a couple years ago, but had them for quite some time

[@seanjames5799]

Prepare to get your mind completely blown.

[@samhell2492]

Right off the bat.. Is this in his face? I tend to have the same reaction to a lot of people like that LOL. But I'm probably 30 years older than you at least. I knew I was going to enjoy this video immediately😂

[@JustMe-er9ve]

I suggest you look up Henk Poort's version of Sound of Silence

[@justahologram2230]

Another one that I just realized you hadn't done yet is "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater, I think given your day job that song will be especially fun

[@gregorykenfield3134]

[@michaelschroeck2254]

This has always been a great song by Paul Simon. This version though to me, and I love so many songs and genres, this version to me is the most PERFECT song I have ever heard. Period.

[@loriprice1518]

Amen Amen!!! Challenge any other to re~make another Artists message and do such Justice with respect!! 🤟✅💋🎵

David was trained as a cantor.

[@dillonsronce2583]

Indeed that is a piercing.

[@alexdesousa6578]

Live version from the Conan O'Brien show, best version.

[@stephanieshoupp5027]

David was trained to be a cantor, but chose rock instead. That's why he has that range.

[@scottfarley3644]

WOW! Girl, you look like a Young Laura Branigan. She was a Singer. Gloria was a big hit of hers.

[@MICHAEL-tz9ni]

this was a remake of the old Simon and Garfunkel song. The growing tempo of the song reflects the increasing desperation of the lyrics, unfortunatly you kind of lessen that effect by frequently pausing the song and breaking the tempo

[@GuySwat]

Your youth and shallow perspective of life is obvious. The words , message and delivery were epic. It appears to go right over your head. It's a deep profound warning about human nature & technology that transcends generations. You missed the completely. We are so visual (the material world) go back and read the words.❤

[@joshuasmith4879]

Yeah their piercings

yes its in his face lol

[@jamesbeecher4431]

yes those are piercings. He has since removed them. This is a cover. The original artist were Simon and Garfunkel and they have since said that this is now his song. David is a Jewish Cantor (trained singer) . You should do Journey or RUSH... Do RUSH 2112.... it is a 7 part dystopian story in a song where music brings down the ruling priests. Keep up the good work and energy

[@kraigSteven]

Your should do the live on Conan o'brien too

[@zanewood94]

If you do down with the sickness, do not do the official video do a lyric video, the official one cuts out part of the song

[@moz2007]

This song is just gut wrenching.. but.. "What about these piercings!".. lol. I love this version soo much. The only part I don't really like is the sound of his long R.

[@wls64]

It's really not fair to you hearing this song for your first exposure to Disturbed. You should go here one of their first hits from the early 2000s. Try listening to "down with The sickness"
