what i find strange is that apparently the producer of the Show thought Disturbed needed a smigeon of Autotune. they really don't.

It's a shame really that whoever it was decided to use auto tune. I don't believe it was David's choice to auto tune, but I could be totally wrong about that.

It seemed even alot of Disturbed fans were accusing the band of auto-tuning it up. So David wanted to perform it live as soon as possible. He also said that he had a cold during this performance. Which is so badass and fearless thing to have done!

He actually notices the autotune when he starts singing if you watch his facial expression

IMO this live version sounds even better than the studio version of that cover.

😂

As a Disturbed fan that was me too. "Sit tight Carl, you ain't heard the half of David Draiman yet" :D Love his vocal control. It's kind of like he doesn't just have one pretty great voice, but two. And he juggles them to great effect.

same dude

Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Agreed!!!... LOL

And it can be heard why

Jeff Hooper if they were alive they are long dead lol

Paul Simon is alive and well.. don't kill him yet pls. furthermore he sent an e-mail to Dramian praising this performance and even having some online exchanges about it over facebook.

@@MisterZealot Google is no one's friend. But I get what you were getting at.

@@Blazin_Tundra True. Simon and Garfunkel died after a drag race with Hall and Oates. RIP

K Batt no sweetie, no. Paul Simon is on the last leg of his 2018 Final tour

Do you mean the power?

The S&G original version, had no anger, or power. It was 1960s' flower music- HIPPIE SHIT. Really pretty and soft. I LOVED THIS ONE WAAY BETTER!! BTW~ We sung it in chours. Our music teacher played the piano! To this day, I am still confused about what sung.

@@jyggalag9838 there's not a huge difference, really.

Why would it be surprising that a metal band could produce quality music? Technically, metal is harder to produce than most other genres. I.e. it takes more technical skill to produce (not saying the music is better, per se). The only other genre that comes close is probably jazz (which in some cases definitely surpasses metal).

hiTo1337 hes not saying that its more because of how different the two songs are

...because you played it on max volume and blew her eardrums out?

Absolutely! Couldn't have said it better!

I love Disturbed and David Draiman, and everything this vocal coach has said is correct. But, unfortunately there is a bit of *pitch correction* in this performance, which isn't really the same as autotune. That doesn't mean that he was ever singing off pitch or out of key, because it seemed like he was always on key, but the effect still plays around with things like vibrato. Honestly, it seems like David didn't even know that there was pitch correction on the mic, and at one point he notices it and gives a funny face. Probably just a bad choice from one of the sound guys. Regardless, I think this showcases David's voice amazingly and is one of my favourite live performances of all time. Such an incredibly talented vocalist, and that shows here.

It is possible that I cannot focus on it enough to hear it due to medication but I can believe that their sound guy ALWAYS puts auto-tune on because Conan quite often gets performers on the show who are 'less than perfect' singing live. lol He says he doesn't use it and I can imagine him not being happy if they did it to him. If this is the case then the fact that he pulls off the rest of the song after that without a hitch just goes to show how confident he is in his instrument. Great singer.

i think what we have to be aware of is that in performances like that (on shows that are not staged by the band but by a Host) they do not have a say in what the producer of the show deems necessary for the show. So if that guy thought "lets slap some autotune on it" all they could have done is refuse to sing, if they were made aware of it beforehand.

That is insanely disrespectful of the artists whom they book. It does however sound like the entertainment industry. One more reason to despise almost all of the entertainment business. I am glad that at least artists aren't totally dependent on the industry now. :(

He is absolutely using auto tune during this performance. Whether or not he does it on his own I don't know, but this one is not deniable.

Draiman*

I think many would already consider it a classic, myself included. It's amazing how Disturbed has matured over the years

+Red King of Sulphur : I can subscribe to that :)

It definitely says something about the singer when the creator of the song says he loves the remake of the song. Gonna have to look up some of the other songs they've done. Too bad he wasn't around in the early 80s, I can only imagine the impact and influence he would have had on the metal scene back then 🤗

@@Joreel Disturbed has a TON of great (metal) songs. If you're looking for one that's also a bit "lighter", try "The Light" (no pun intended). It's also very much focused on Draiman's vocals, and carries a positive message as a bonus!

Beautifully said.

Anthony Gleeson d the sad thing is is that not many people are going to get this reference

Kat Hall unfortunately you’re probably right.

❤️❤️❤️

Slowly walk away To breathe again On my own .... Ok ... Bye

CrashFlicks definetly. Their first album was good. But Liberate will always be one of my top songs

Watch the official video!!

God who? Even in the song they sing about the "neone god they madeeee" stop believing in imaginary friends.

As an atheist myself, I have to say that attitude is what's wrong with the world. I may not believe in any god, but if other people want to believe in a higher power, who am I to tell them not to? They have their own reason to believe as I have my own not to believe. Stop making yourself sound like a self enlightened deuche telling people what they can or cannot believe in. Extremism is what's wrong, be it in religious beliefs are or in any other area, so don't spread stuff like that

@@RB94Productions i mean i want people to realize the truth faster lmao, religions are made to control the masses no idea why not everyone is "WOKE" yet like Sweden is 90% atheist now and they are doing really well as a country rn. So maybe they are doing something right? I'm trying to spread atheism as priests long ago spread other religions. Simply here to help.

@@nikolayvakareev9094 mate, one thing I've learned over the years is people are able to believe in a higher power without believing in the religion itself, I've met people like that, who believe in god but also know the church is only there to, as you stated, control the masses. And I understand your intentions, but you just can't kick the door open and say "stop believing!". This is something that will gradually change in due time, theres no need for fights over mundane stuff as these, just let people be, changes will happen sooner or later.

And he does it so perfectly that he ruin his vocal cords

Amazingly fully developed raw talent. It takes both to get as good as Draiman is.

you shouldnt call a talent, something that someone had worked their life to develop. this isnt talent, its not a gift. that was pure skill.

ARCTURUS .....with auto tune.

David's talent is not exactly raw. He would be the first to point out it has been helped by decades of vocal training.

Sunny, pure raw talent. David Draimen is a professionally trained singer who can reproduce that sound and quality without a mic or pa system. It's call pure talent and dedicated training. Jealousy isn't a good color for you.

"the talent of that heavy metal band is breathtaking" While I fully agree that Disturbed is very talented (seen them live twice), to be honest *most* of the top metal bands are ridiculously talented, you simply can't even play the music without years of training and often theory study as well. Yes, the singers are not usually vocally clean, that really would have trouble matching the music to be honest, but metal singers are always powerful singers who know how to bring that high passion and energy that's required to keep pace with the heavy and blistering guitar riffs. Give an honest listen to "Tornado of Souls" by Megadeth, "Practice What You Preach" by Testament, "Into the Mouth of Hell We March" by Trivium, or "Master of Puppets" by Metallica and see if you spot any talent. It's *different* talent than singing Opera, of course, but to me just as cultivated and developed as your favored musical form. Cheers!

Well this should make you happy to know, he was classically trained in opera before begging his career in metal

i havent shed a tear in a decade.... the emotion came pouring out watching this music video .... shook me to my core...

Not gonna lie, you come across as incredibly ignorant with this comment. Metal isn't at all what you think it is, clearly. Further more, the fact that you refer to the fans of metal the way that you do, and that you would "Never listen to a heavy metal song", you're just ridiculous. Have you heard of Symphonic Metal? That'd probably be right up your alley. Look up The PHantom of The OPera Live by Nightwish and you'll understand that metal is a very diverse genre of music that you can not judge based on a couple of examples.

i have read this exact comment on another reaction video 😆

K L thank you for that. I will give you tickets to my next violin concert 😂

Eddie Piszczek Wow. Yet he still sounded so amazing

Indeed, and 99.9% of ppl cant handle that that is the truth. So, for the doubters, heres Draiman explaining how this song was created in the studio. Its a short interview but if you dont believe the man himself (and why wouldn't you?) Just ask him yourself, hes an approachable guy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brCfdrihu5msl6s.html

Sitting down too

CRDN Official I can totally hear crunch in that. The singer is one of them most impressive singers I’ve ever heard but they were correcting on the fly, sorry.

@@wholewheat1 Yeah, because Draiman was unwell and didn't hit the high notes as well as he normally would, the shows producers decided to 'help him out' with a little auto-tune, which I'm sure pissed Draiman off as he despises the use of auto-tune in the music industry.

There is definitely pitch correction occurring; you can hear it really clearly at 2:03 to 2:04 on the word "walked". His tone and pitch shift quickly on that word.

Yeah David is a god yet no one knows his name

They know his name but there have been too many characters on tv (soap operas, no thanks to my sister I know this form growing up) that have that name or very similar. People may know it but not sure if it's correct due to how many times they hear it on tv.

He's the Disturbed Guy, what are you talking about :D

Shannan Simpson a

My guess is: When he sings well, they don't know him. When he goes "OH-WA-A-A-AH", they go 'I know that guy!'

Are you saying he was….down with the sickness?

@@turboes29 lol... YES!

cbinette100 Chester Bennington is imo.

It is between David, Brent Smith (shinedown), and Corey Taylor(Stone Sour and Slipknot)

He isn't bad and does a great job at this song but he isnt the best M Shadows Corey Taylor Howard Jones Ben Hurley To name a few

Love Chester and Corey. Corey has a better growl but I think David does the softer stuff better. Chester, well he's Chester and unfortunately he isn't with us anymore so I didn't really consider him. Of course when I say this it's completely subjective , and I'm not discrediting the other. Just my opinion.

This guy is definitely up there, I think you have to throw in Maynard from Tool and The Slipknot singer

C.C C. Me too. I love Disturbed. I want to see one of these voice teachers break down David doing the “oh wah ah ah ah” that he does. Give a bit of insight into how the sound is produced.

@@geministargazer9830 I don't think david even could. All live vids and when I saw them two summers ago it sounds bad live and to high pitch compared to the album. Specifically theoh Wah ah ah

C.C C. Exactly. I laughed when this coach/critic sais he’d never heard David sing. Really?? Go listen to a few songs BEFORE you criticize. His unique style and talent has made him far more successful than any of us will ever be.

C.C C. One of the best bands i have gotten to see live in Chicago IL, was their last performance there before they took their hiatus years ago

Hits ya straight in the feels

Why does this comment only have 4 likes? This is a perfect analogy.

Because its been said on every video connected to this cover by 100’s of people

LIstening to this version, in 2020, the "neon god" is Donald Trump. It certainly describes his hair and skin coloring.

💯

I saw a Disturbed concert way back in the day when they released 10,000 Fists.. so maybe like 2005? One of the most accurate and true to recording live performances I've ever seen to this day. It fucking rocked.

@@ezpk- Back during their Music As A Weapon tours, hell yeah! I saw them around the same time

I saw them on Ozzfest as the co-headliners. They were awesome live.

Huh... better put than I ever did even in my mind but I agree fully. There ARE some voices that completely stand out to the rest and stay with you

M Dutchy I guess maybe this is why we have people who aren’t really the best singers but they have such a unique sound to their voice that lots of people like them

Have you ever listened to Robert Plant and Josh Kiszka theire extremely hard to distingiish

People whose voices hit both high and low notes at the same time, that is, those with a fuller sound, are more attractive. Listen to (old-school) radio DJ's and personalities, newscasters, etc. While almost everyone has a multi-tonal voice, often they are still in a fairly narrow range. If possible, check out isolated vocals with a spectrogram, and you can see the range of tones.

Can confirm David Draiman (the singer for Disturbed) was taught how to sing - classical training in fact. He... didn't exactly go in the usual direction with it though. Clearly.

Not at all 'raw' years of classical / opera vocal training let's him be specifically 'raw' and color his voice where ever he thinks it serves the performance of a song. This is serious discipline, decades of dedicated training and practice.

I've never heard it described like that, but damn! "Panty dropper voice" is dead on, balls accurate.

😁👍👏❤

Exactly. Liquid chocolate velvet sex. Wish he’d sing this way more often . . .

Yes he is so sexy.

*spit take*

Bruhhhhhh 😂😂😂😂

I’m dead

Hey man.

😂😂 ahhh, yes!

Jane Vasquez I want to see him react to chesters 17 second scream

Yes, and no. He's trained as a Cantor / Hazan; a Jewish musician or precentor trained in the vocal arts who helps lead the congregation in songful prayer. They have a separate training regimine from specific classical training, though it contains a lot of the same material / techniques. :)

He said he wasn't trained classically.

It's very sad that a man of this level of talent chooses to make the style of music that requires no talent.

@@calgmail No I'm dead serious. All you have to do is play ear piercing music, and get someone who can scream at the top of their lungs for extended periods of time, and you have heavy metal. This cover actually showed that he has the talent for real music. Not just teenage noise.

@@calgmail I have listened to a lot of Disturbed's early CDs. As well as numerous other metal bands for comparison. That is all I've heard from any of them. Just loud, senseless noise. So you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to hear them actually singing for a change.

Yes!

Take the live version from Tampere 2015 instead. She's got a lot more comfortable with the older songs since 2013, where she showed that she is the Wonder Woman of Metal by learning a hard setlist in no time. And if you want a good cry, listen to Sleeping Sun from the same night. It's always been beautiful, but it became perfect.

YES

Camilla Rasmussen Tbh, I want the Wacken one because there’s more emotion in it. It’s a lot more moving.

yes!

Taeistoocute same :(

They are amazing live, if you get the chance to see them you should

DO IT! Seriously, Draiman can command an audience like few others. Disturbed is one of those bands that is actually better live than in studio!

Someone did the same video but months ago.

Cb blows. He was beyond awful Live

I second that. Dimashes latest is right up his alley. :-)
