If you've been on The Charismatic Voice long enough, you know that I love Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence", and David Draiman's vocal artistry. As Disturbed is starting to tour later this year, I wanted to dig into more of their back-catalogue before listening to their new album. . . and this was on the top of your list!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Disturbed performing "Stupify" for the first time.

I think if you managed to get him to " join you for tea", Elisabeth, you would find that David has had a very interesting, and difficult vocal journey story. He essentially had to relearn and teach himself to sing within his limits after incurring some vocal damage on tour. But he put in the hard work, dedicated himself to his craft, and became a better and healthier singer/vocalist for it. Thank you for always doing YOUR " homework", Elisabeth, and keeping an open mind, and appreciating the endless myriad of vocal talents, in all there wonderful varieties out there! You are a champion, and a sweet one too;). Happy Green Day!🍀

@Owlr4ider Жыл бұрын

As others have already commented the word he's elongating at 15:45, which you came back to several times later, is: 'Tefached' which means be afraid, so not exactly about insanity but rather perhaps the consequence of it. That also explains the next part of the song: 'don't deny me, don't be afraid' which for non Hebrew speakers is easy to miss the reference. Oh and by the way, the way he sang the 'Tefached' is indeed in a very traditional Hebrew style which is commonly used in religious hymns and other traditional ancient songs. So you were indeed correct that he brought some of his Jewish heritage into the song without actually knowing it.

Diving deeper into Disturbed is always a win. “Prayer” and “Remember”, from the Believe album, still give me goosebumps twenty years later, especially the latter. The final track, “Darkness” gave a soft insight into the entirely clean singing David was capable of, and in my mind, acted as the precursor to the “Sounds of Silence” cover they nailed over a decade later. Speaking of covers, I hope this means we’ll get a breakdown of “Land of Confusion” in the not too distant future. Maybe even a dual breakdown, given that the og was by Phil Collins/Genesis. Comparing the videos alone would be a “riot”, nudge nudge 😉😉…

I will say though as entrancing as his voice is on their albums it's nothing compared to seeing them live. David Draiman just exudes this charisma that you can't help but be ensnared by. Everytime I've seen them I've come away with chills and such an incredible adrenaline rush. Highly recommend seeing them if ya get a chance.

@caliguy1260 9 ай бұрын

“Te Fa Ched” is Hebrew future tense of “to be afraid”. Draiman uses this veiled meaning to contrast with “don’t be afraid” in the next stanza, ostensibly as a warning, to let the listener know that his grasp on sanity is slipping away, and allude to his future potential for violence, within the context of the song. Brilliant lyrical imagery.

One of the big appeals of this song to many Disturbed fans is the balance of the smooth and the harsh sections of the song - his ability to make both sides sound beautiful is what many of us love about his voice. And I think I've said it before, but for something really surreal after listening to Disturbed, look up Ben Draiman's cover of Stricken.

The Draiman Demon voice he uses is one of the most effective voice explosives in music. It is iconic and well known for grabbing you out of your socks while also encouraging you to be disturbed and yet rage with him. People that just know that one part from Down With the Sickness, the ooo wah ah ah ah, will always hear it and repeat it. So it's awesome to see you react to that in here as well, because it's most recognizable as simply a thing that he does with his music.

I see how you seemed to feel more anxiety during this and it scared you and for me it's different. The aggression, sadness, anger, angst, hysteria and almost madness of this song with David's voice along with the amazing music helps me take control of the stress and anxiety I have inside at times. After all these years it still pops in my head and I will sing the entire song in my head along with the screams and it calms me down and I feel less stressed.

David has a nice vocal presence with different ranges. Wether he sings heavy medium or soft it all sounds great. I also like his signature raspy vibrato he does.

@aaronscott506 Жыл бұрын

The word he is saying in the bridge is “Tefached” which in Hebrew means “you will fear” or “you will be afraid” Thanks for bringing such a musical education into metal. And for showing such an appreciation for David’s vocal talents. He’s one of metals best vocalists. You really need to see them live!!!!

Disturbed's whole catalog is amazing, but many amazing songs get overlooked. My personal favorite is one called, "Haunted" that was off their fourth album. I'd love to see you react and and do an analysis of that song.

@kenleppek Жыл бұрын

Their cover of the song Shout is amazing as well. I was probably 16 or 17 when this album came out and I listened to it over and over. I even got to see him live a few years back. It was the first concert they did after quite a long hiatus. It was amazing... All except it was an outdoor venue and the neighbouring farmer decided to spread manure on his field during the show and the smell was rather atrocious. All David had to say about that was "Mr. Farmer.... ROCK ON!" Such a classy dude.

I love how you make me look at the details of what's going on, but I also am always amazed that you coming from a different angle to listening to the music you don't realize how much it makes a connection to some of us on a visceral level long before we recognize the details. That being said, I love what you do, keep it up.

So many great songs, “Just Stop” is in my top five. This is the meaning behind it: “About a situation where your other half is always trying to come up with reasons to argue with you and you are constantly apologizing, and constantly asking for forgiveness, over and over again, and the frustration that comes with it. The song is asking “that person” to just stop.”

23 years ago I got to see them live in New Jersey. This song had just hit radio for only like a month. They were the main event and one of the opening acts was tap root. It was a massive biker bar they performed at. So at the bar before they were performing they actually got some drinks and talked to folks. Such an amazing peformance. wow I was 26.. Time flies eh. :)

I sang in a lot of bands including a lot of original music...The first time I head David's voice, (when this album was released ) I immediately bought the CD, and every song on it is perfection..... So it was fun to watch your reaction..loved it...

I fell into David and Disturbed via Sound Of Silence having decided they were not my cup of tea first time around. I listened to the Evolution album on repeat for months, breaking my heart every time. Then I started working through the back catalogue. Much of it is still not for me, being just too harsh for my ears, but I listened to every track at least twice and I discovered that this band is in no way lazy. They weave their tapestry through even the harshest tracks and pretty much every song has a message. They make you angry, they make you feel pain, they make you think and see things differently. And David's voice is every bit as good now as it was then! Very rare for a man who uses his voice this way.

I had the pleasure of seeing Disturbed when they toured this album over 20 years ago. They were a spectacular show even back then, and even through the headbanging, the music gave me chills. One of the best live performances I've been to. I can only imagine what two more decades of practicing their craft has done, and I would love to see them again. David is an absolute beast of a vocalist, definately top tier, not just in rock but in the music industry.
