I heard that cast and crew who work behind the scenes on Conan all came out to watch this as soon as they heard the singer’s voice. Conan had never seen that done before. Everyone was paying attention and not talking. That was powerful.

Nope. Popular misconception that many have heard. It was actually much worse- he had a bleeding lesion on a vocal cord for which he later underwent surgery. He speaks of this in many interviews.

Bone chilling and incredible ❤ Paul Simon said his version was a warning of what might be to come and Disturbed’s version is a reaction to no one heeding that warning. . Apparently staff behind the scenes on Conan came running half way through wondering what the hell they were hearing. Amazing 😊

Dave's vocal range is quite impressive. That jump from the low tenor/baritone up to the tenor is sublime... 😘 His intonation when he sings "Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you" with the "you" that sounds like "yewwwww" and the last "...whisperrrr in the sound of silence..." those "ooo" and his rhotic "rrrr" so forward in his mouth gives it such a extra fierce feel 😡 p.s: the big drums? They're called timpani drums.

I was cleaning house one day with some sort of internet rock station on and Disturbed The Sound of Silence came on. I'd never heard of the group, never heard anyone but Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel do it. I grew up in the 60's hearing and loving them. Disturbed's version floored me. I've heard it dozens and dozens of times and still get chills and tears, every single time. Thank you for your reaction, I really enjoyed it. I'll go check out your other reactions.

FYI those are Kettledrums and yes they add soo much. They are a staple with in any symphony orchestra's referred to as a Timpani. One of my favorite percussion instruments of a orchestra. The depth and gravitas that they add to any musical piece really can't be replicated by any other instrument with in the the orchestra. When they are playing you will all ways feel and hear them no matter how many other instruments are playing at the time.

The drum is called a Timpani, also called a kettledrum. It typically has a foot pedal that allows the drummer to change the pitch of the sound. Basically tuning the drum note by note.

OMG, the tissues I've 🤧 gone through since I discovered David Draiman and Disturbed performing their rendition of "The Sound of Silence" on April 29, 2024. That day I have to believe my spirit 🙏 guides (out of the blue) first led me to a cover video by Dan Vasc singing "Amazing Grace" which was phenomenal 👏 and then to the cover video of Disturbed and David Draiman singing this most POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL 😂rendition of Simon and Garfunkels "The Sound of Silence". I'm 75 and was 15 when they released one of the most popular classic songs of our time during the 60's. It is amazing how relevant it is today. Actually I feel it is even more relevant than ever in so many different ways. I've spent days since listening and seeing, you notice I didn't say viewing, the many channel hosts and each of their reactions and have 😢 almost every time. It's funny that more males have gotten teary-eyed than females, just an observation. Thanks from Diane

Completely agree about the studio video's choices of graphic images. From the opening silence and then the burning keyboard to the ark at the end.....inspired genius. This is a performance we can go back to time and again because it is live and so perfectly done. Goosebumps for sure. Now I am going to make a plug for Phil Collins. His performance of 'In the Air Tonight' live is equal to this in my humble opinion and one you can hear over and over and still be blown away. Everything about it is perfect from the staging and lighting to the sound quality. Perfection.

@MichelleB-yy8ge 10 ай бұрын

This version was my very first experience with Disturbed's cover of this song and I definitely felt the goosebumps too! If you want to check out yet another cover of the Sound of Silence, Pentatonix has done one as well. I would say theirs falls more in line with Disturbed's take than with the original by Simon & Garfunkel. It's pretty impressive too! If you do choose to react to it, just be sure to do all the things to avoid copyright issues since their record label stays on top of that with reactors. On a side note, don't ever apologize for pausing a video Nick. You are a reactor and as such, that is to be expected. If people want to watch the video uninterrupted, they need to go watch the original and let you and other reactors actually react.

I saw this performance as it was shown on the Conan show, having never heard this cover, and not knowing anything about Disturbed. I was just stunned. Now that I've had the chance to watch both this and the official video version a bazillion times, I always recommend that people watch the video first to get the full visual experience and listen to the perfect vocal performance that they got on tape. But then I always insist they come listen to this live one, because to me, it is more intense, more passionate, and even more beautiful than the studio version. Less technically perfect, but somehow better and more vibrant for the imperfections.

There is however one other version of this song that you really should check out. Geoff Castellucci has recently done another version of this song. It's totally different than either Garfunkel or Disturbed and well worth watching.

I was privileged to tune into Conan this night. Had never heard of Disturbed, but instantly fell in love! Have since listened to most of their music and my appreciation has only grown exponentially.

Thanks for your beautiful reaction.

He was running fevers and he stated how awful he felt. The show wanted to use auto-tune since he was singing live. He was very upset with them because he said absolutely not! They did it at a part anyway and he was pissed at them. I dont6have a trained enough ear to know where that part is but I'm sure a vocalist could point it out.
