[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

Paul Simon caught this performance on CONAN. He called David Draiman to compliment him, and tell him this is one of best covers he’d ever heard of his masterpiece. Draiman was understandably stunned by this call from the songwriter!

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

[@Becvar80]

This cover is also the ONLY cover Paul Simon ever posted a link to on his own social media in his entire, prolific songwriting career.

[@jillbecker8651]

This is wrong. He met Paul Simon at an event and talked with him…

[@hughjanus9557]

​@@jillbecker8651yeah they were at a resort or something.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I love the way he immediately cleans up his tone on that last "sounds.... of siiiii lennnnnnce". No more grit, in the blink of an eye.

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

💜💜💜💜

[@bepowerification]

he does it even quicker and smoother when going from "tenement" to "halls".

[@calibadgerdude6082]

I always like to say that David Draimen is the Lamborghini V-12 of vocalists. Smooth as butter on silk at low revs, then a throaty roar when you get towards the mid range, and finally an ungodly bellow of pure fury and sound when he goes full throttle. He’s amazing to listen to.

[@Yazpo]

I must admit, the freeze frame at 5:57 is actually the first time I saw the face he made when they autotuned him.

[@LtFrankDrebin100]

Not a fake Hollywood singer flu. He was legitimately sick. Conan confirmed. And Conan is Conan.

[@caligo7918]

@@Yazpo and he was livid afterwards, cause he had told them he hates autotune

[@Yazpo]

@@caligo7918 I know all of that, I've just never actually registered "The Face" because I always miss it. But with the freeze frame I can just feel the resentment. I may have trouble with nonverbal communication, but when it is presented in such a way I can pick it up.

[@gbnq2513]

I loled when you said "I wonder if he is going to open up later to add to the dynamics...."

[@endoraismygma]

Anyone else want to marry his voice?? I mean I never get tired of listening to him.

[@josephcarriker3967]

Can I just say how wonderful it is to find a KZbin vocal coach who allows themselves to be impressed by and love the material? Too many seem overly focused on proving their vocal coach skills by keeping generally unmoved unless they're describing some point of instruction. Having someone love this music, be impressed by the technique *and then* give us some insight into it is Best Teaching Method, imo. :)

[@cesaraugustus9064]

"WOW❗" I Know, Right ⁉️ I never get tired of hearing this, AND of seeing other people's reactions to this beautiful rendition.

[@Seminole51]

Something not a lot of people know is that David Draiman was a trained Jewish cantor. They are the ones that sing the prayers during services. They usually have very powerful voices. This was the first song by Disturbed I had heard that wasnt completely rock and I instantly fell in love with it. One of my favorite covers of all time.

[@sarasorensen2650]

Does no one addres his impeccable diction? It's beautiful!

[@WillyLuedtke]

He was actually trained in classical music. That training carrys over beautifully.

[@fezzik7619]

[@aprilbuhneing7491]

This is by far one of the best vocals I've ever heard. I'm usually not on that prefers a cover over a original. But this cover is better then the original. You should watch the official video for this song. I cried like a baby. Especially knowing the meaning behind the song.

[@katiobrien7854]

The video is another reason I prefer the official version over the live. It really added dimension to David's great vocals.

[@Axe_Slinger]

He is classically trained when he studied to be a cantor, someone who sings liturgy or bible/torah verses. He said he was excited to hear his voice like this because he hadn't heard his voice like this since he was a teenager!

[@braddavis4787]

You're missing a great experience if you haven't had the chance to see them live. I've seen them 12 times so far and will go every single time they come close. David's voice is just as great live and they never disappoint. They also bring important issues to light.

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

[@sydneywellington_cazadora]

-Draiman covers roughly two-and-a-half octaves from bottom to top. His vocals are so distinctive. -Disturbed had been nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance for their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" while appearing on Conan. -David: "The fact that I was sick as a dog (laughs). I remember I was definitely fighting something off, but it was a cool experience. It was cool performing with an actual orchestra. It was really vibing and the mood helped, I think, enhance the delivery. The stars just aligned that night and everything went right." -

[@mirjanasimov7845]

Thank very much for your info, respect.

[@guitaroffthecuff-davids5528]

If you pause the video to catch your expression at the camera at 2:16, it perfectly sums up how most people react to this performance. Mind blowing.

[@65presleychick]

His voice takes me on an emotional rollercoaster every time I hear this song. His voice is truly astounding. First time watching you and loved your reaction!!

[@hardskeptic]

I know there were things he hated about this performance but he still did amazingly. I’m not kidding when I say that I started crying

Same tired old comment on every reaction to this. It’s unoriginal and it’s a fish for likes which mean absolutely nothing

[@Raphsody86]

David is so amazing. And it’s even more amazing when you learn he was sick during this performance.:) I actual prefer the live version to the recorded one. He sounds amazing either way but there’s so much more emotion in his live I feel. Love it.:)

[@JulsG6714]

This man CAN sing! I love the song before him and it took me a while to get that he was singing it slower than the original but he caught me with his voice from the very first time I heard it. He is AMAZING

[@sandyleewhite]

Your facial reactions say it all !!! This is an amazing cover of a brilliant song, 1st done by Simon & Garfunkel warning us, if we don't change our ways we are headed for destruction, and Disturbs version is angry, because we didn’t listen to the warnings... 😌 I always feel this song is like a rollercoaster ride....... slowly bringing you to the top, with nervous anticipation, then quickly crashing to the bottom, leaving a pit in your stomach.....Great reaction & I had a very similar reaction, to my very soul......

I get chills everytime I hear this!!! He's amazing!!!

[@rustincohle7410]

David Draiman has described himself as "sick as a dog" the night he performed this on Conan. 102° temperature and bronchitis to boot. He is a genuine baritone, with a massive vocal range, and was classically trained as a cantor in a synagogue when he was younger. I heard that they didn't even tell him they were going to use Auto-Tune, they just did it without his permission. He didn't find out until post, and he didn't even find out from them, he heard it in the track and confronted them with it. Man, was he ever pissed. From what I hear he hates Auto-Tune, 'cause he feels like it's cheating. You should go listen to the live concert version with Myles Kennedy.

[@aprilbuhneing7491]

I watched this on Conan when it was live. I cried 😭 through the whole song. That song has such a deep and beautiful meaning.

[@benwhite24]

I have no idea why really... But I have been totally binge watching this song and reactions.... You, you alone have the best reaction on KZbin. The pure visible pleasure in your reaction of this perfect song is so, so satisfying... You have the best reaction video, hands down!

[@johndeeregreen4592]

He was actually a little perturbed by the slight auto-tune the show used on this... he never uses it. In reality, it kind of messed up his natural vibrato like auto-tune is so good for.

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

Woah! I see.

[@MaddogJones]

He was more than a little perturbed... He was livid. He was also suffering from a slight head cold and missed a lyric... but you'd never know 'cause he's such a pro...

[@4everhealthwellness344]

Hey loved your reaction, don't know if you knew this but when the album this song is on was recorded, in 2015, it was just 12 months after David Dramen had major surgery on his vocal cords, because of polyps I read, from constant touring and performing since the band started in 2000. He was told it was very possible he would never sing again or at the least not like he could before. He purposely chose this song to cover BECAUSE of its vocal demands, just to prove he could still sing, he has amazing perseverance in my opinion. To be told you may never sing again but then make your comeback with this song....awesome

[@SongsFromASuitcase]

That vocal technique that you mentioned is called the "Yarl." It was used by alot of the singers from the 90's. Most notably Eddie Vedder, Lane Staley, Scott Stapp, and Scott Weiland.

Even better [not by much] piano than piano in Paul Simon's "bridge over troubled water". And timpani drum adds so much. My new favorite regular TV vocal performance. Heart Stairway cover and Aretha Franklin Natural Woman, both at Kennedy Center Honors, were special and during "special broadcasts'.

I liked your reaction a lot! I love David's voice. Did you know that he was trained to become a Cantor as a kid/teenager? Please check out Falling in Reverse "The Drug in me is Reimagined" (2020). That's the completely "reimagined" version of the song "The Drug in me is you" (2011), so to really appreciate the vocalists development as a singer and an artist, you should watch the original at least in private or even better, react to both in one video and make a comparison. Another great performance to check out: Corey Taylor (Slipknot/ Stone Sour) singing "Snuff" live and acoustic in London. Greetings from Germany!
