Greatest cover ever. Votings over, everybody go home.

I love the fact that you listened to the entire song without stopping in the middle of the video to make comments about it. I wish more people doing reactions would do that.

Thank you for listening to the whole song then commenting

The original was a gentle warning. This one is an epic Jeremiad, calling down doom due to our failure to heed the earlier warning.

I am 68 yrs old and this is the absolute Best version of this song I have ever heard!

Kudos for not having a preview, for not stopping the video and for not talking over the video while it was playing. That's the way to do a reaction video. I was already familiar with Disturbed's version (and of course, Simon and Garfunkel's version) but I really enjoyed going on the journey of discovery with you.

I'm glad that you heard the Simon & Garfunkel version first and then Disturbed's. Disturbed is conveying the frustration almost 60 years later that we have not listened to what Simon & Garfunkel said originally. That's why the power, the anger and the video is so appropriate and so good. I get chills when I hear both versions.

David Draiman, the singer, was vocally trained to be a cantor in the Jewish faith. I have been waiting for you to get to this one and I'm so glad you chose the official video. The imagery adds so much to their interpretation of this classic song.

Thank you! Playing the entire video before the critique is appreciated.

This is such a powerful song, thank you for not interrupting the video to make a comment.

Goose bumps every time!

Thank you so much for not interrupting the video. You the man. Peace ☮ ❤

Best version ever! He was trained as cantor. He has perfect pitch!

Disturbed puts the heart and soul into it. Gives me chills every time !

It is intense! Man has a great voice!

It’s hard not to like this better than the original. From a 64 year old

David is so much more than just metal. Epic voice.

If not already mentioned, check out Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence live on Conan. Equally powerful yet a stand alone performance. Incredible!!

By far the best screamo voice ever ❤

This amazing ballad from a heavy metal band!❤

🙏🏽❤️🙏🏼Best cover song EVER!

Loveeee this from Disturbed. The song has so much more impact imo. The voice is unbelievable crisp scream. ❤❤❤

I love this version of this song, so meaningful 😢

Disturbed is not even close to being a cover band. They usually do 1 cover per album. They have 20 years of original music.

This is happening on our planet now. We will come together to overcome. Very powerful Peace🌎💕✨️

You have the best smile ever! Keep using it.

Such a stunning cover of an amazing classic, best one yet, in my opinion. David's vocals always impresses. Thanx so much, Peace

The Simon & Garfunkle one is nice and folksy, look at the times they were in. Now look at the times WE'RE in. They're the same words, but Disturbed put urgency into it, the plea and warning expressed much stronger...idk how a person could listen to this and not get the message.

This was the best cover, as you stated. This has broke ground as it does give a different message with the same lyrics. Well done.

Have heard this version 20 times or more. I still get goosebumps

This song goes down in your very soul.

This cover is epic and David's voice touches me and the song is so in tuned to what is happening in our world today

This song never fails to give me chills 🥺

they have done one cover song every album since their first .✌✌

And you didn't interrupt it once. Bravo.

So the song itself is almost prophetic. Today we are attached to our "neon gods" aka phones. We communicate without speaking or listening.

I grew up hearing the Simon and Garfunkel version -- one of my favorite songs ever -- but Disturbed took this song to a new -- and BETTER -- level! David Craiman's vocals (hope I spelled that right) gave a gravitas and darkness to the song's lyrics that S&G's version lacked. Could listen/watch this Disturbed's video over and over again (and I have!!)!

paul simon said that this is now a disturbed song. no higher praise. and the singer for disturbed has been a cantor in his synagogue.. so yeah, chops.

Great reaction. No interruptions. Good insight.

TY for NOT stopping and starting the video and saving your comments till the end. Next, you need to react to Pentatonix version of this song.😁

I just took my 10 year old nephew to see them in Biloxi MS 2/24/24! He has been a fan since he was 3 and Sound of Silence his FAVORITE SONG EVER! Watching his reaction to seeing it live was a priceless memory!!❤❤❤ they are INCREDIBLE

Disturbed the main guy did a interview and talked about how this song was so difficult to do a cover of and how much time they put in to it and that it was just insane the amounts of work just to give the song the justices it deserved .......and no disturbed is a huge well known band in smash rock or punk or head banger stuff or what ever they call it today ....and have many fantastic songs all there own and this cover was kind of a one off and really connected the bad to allot of people that well generally do not listened to there kind of everyday music ..but in there world they are one of the top $ bringers

Newest video DISTURBED'S DON'T TELL ME with Ann Wilson of HEART

Your reaction and analysis at the end was spot on! Great song, great lyrics, both the original and the cover

Anytime a cover is better than the original it's an achievement, and if there's one better than this, I can't think of it. I once heard someone say that the original was a gentle warning of things to come and this is the rage that the warning wasn't heeded.

Literally the best cover ever, prolly better than the original version Id say, and thats something.

Disturbed likes to mix a cover or two into most of their albums. Lead singer David Draiman has a fantastic voice in general, but especially for metal. This is one is the best covers I’ve heard, but they have some other kick ass ones.

Try “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed. It will blow your mind.

Also, whether or not you believe in spirit guides, I recently discovered that I am blessed to have some and decided to start listening to them. They actually led me to Disturbed and David Draiman on KZfaq and their cover B&W 4K video of Simon and Garfunkels The Sound of Silence. My spirit guides are screaming at me to tell all of you that if we lose our Democracy we will lose our freedom to listen to the music of our choice like Disturbed! If THEY can ban our books, they can ban/outlaw our music 🎶! Love you all, Diane ❤

Well Said Brother 👍

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎thank you for being real!

My following comments are from watching the original B&W 4K Cover video: 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". NOTE: For those interested, here's some history on Paul Simon, who wrote the song in 1964. Watch their video from back then. It's a whole different vibes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Silence I'm 75 and was 15 when they released one of the most popular, iconic classical songs of our time during the 60's. It's amazing how relevant it is today. Actually, I feel it is even more relevant now more than ever, by how we're so attached to our electronics and don't actually share our thoughts and feelings with each other. Because of that, it actually becomes more difficult to do so. We are losing our ability to really be able to communicate with each other. No wonder we've become so divided. I've spent days listening and seeing the many Reactional channel hosts and each of your reactions and hearing all of your comments, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I still 😢 almost every time I watch and listen to it. I've also noticed that more males have shown more emotion and gotten teary-eyed than the females, just an observation. Thanks, from Diane😊❤

Disturbed is not a cover band at all. They are a hard rock band for the most part; and amazing at that. This was a complete departure from their normal fare but also a showcase for David Dramon's voice and the band's versatitlity. I love seeing reactions to this song in particular because it's an old 70s song and noone expects a hard rock band like Disturbed to tackle it. Moreover, they don't expect this cover to be better than the original (which IMHO) it is; or maybe I should say updated or more relevant. The lyrics and sentiment certainly transcend the decades since the original song was written and still apply today.

You looked liked you enjoyed it. Love disturbed. You are adorable btw😮

Dan also has his own band called " Fearless". I believe he has one of the BEST Metal scream. Dan got the harmonica from his dad 2 wks before he died, he released this video 3 days after his dad died. R.I.P

Be sure to watch their live performance on Conan. NOTE: David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance, and I heard he was not pleased with his performance. Being the perfectionist that he is, I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole performance was amazing, and his was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Tbyeam Coco

You get it dude: a different feel for different times. I love the original but, this is the version for the now.

Love your reaction! Best cover ever. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

Disturbed is awesome. I’m down with the sickness!!!!!!! Love them love this rendition. It shows how good he really is

I think the first reaction video where the song wasn't interrupted. I enjoyed your reaction. Cheers

You did the best review yet, thank you!!! Just subscribed!

Through a once-over of the song, I’ve glad you’ve enjoyed it, mate. I hope in future you can respond and react more in depth to this. Keep up the good work.

Awesome reaction of a great cover. Thanks

Excellent reaction!! You have a new subscriber here!

G'day 😊another great strong singer is Dan Vass, WOW💜

This song and the Bad Wolves cover of Zombie are by far my 2 favorite covers

Paul Simon said this is his favorite version!!! They generally do 1 cover per album

Get ready for a religious experience! Shakes my very soul! ❤

The best version, his voice is amazing❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

If you want the crazy song that he normally sings in it Down with the sickness.

the live tv version will blow you away... the live performance had more power

Good reaction

You should check out their performance on Conan. He was actual sick in it, but you would never know it.

Saw 2 of ur reactions, subscribed with the last one "Who's on First"...like variety...this is my 3rd one, better be good...lol

But, no, they are not a cover band, but they do covers in their own way. They really pay respect to the originals or do even better.

You need to react to DIMASH - S.O.S., He is considered the best singer in the entire world, due to his vocal ability, and how he moves between the low and high octaves... you will be surprised.

1967 Simon and Garfunkel original singers of that song. ❤

Pentatonix...cover of Sound of Silence . Is a must hear. 🔥🎵🎶 PEACE ✌️

'Is Disturbed a cover band?' OH GOD, I'M OLD

They are an intense metal band normally. For another one on their less metal side, try their Hold On To Memories.

There is a you tube video of this done as a tribute to 9/11. The music is the same, but the photos are so heartbreaking. I watch it every year and still cry. Please do a reaction to that or at least watch it for yourself. Thank you!

Great song. U need to listen to dimash kudiabergan he is the best singer in the world. Listen to SOS or Stranger first you will be hooked 😊😊

Fuqing amazing!!!!!!×

Instant #ChickenSkin !! 😳 (Goosebumps)

I cant stand covers, but this and metallica actually honored the originals.

The live version on the Conan show is even better & well worth a listen to

The live version on Conan O'Brien is even better.

Love this cover. I'm l more connected to the original. Both give me very emotional feelings.

Great cover. Another cover I think is better than the original is the aussie icon John Farnham cover of the Beatles song help. Look for the live version with the Melboune Symphony Orchestra, actually anything he does is great, but live versions are best.

A respectful reaction, too often I see reaction videos where they interrupt the songs they're reacting too.

❤😊

i think they do one cover per album

Please watch the "Conan" live version

You need to go listen to another metal singer Dan Vasc singing, amazing grace It will blow your mind

the Live version on Conan is even better

If you want to see a great Disturbed original check out "Stupify".

I BELIEVE I KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF THIS SONG 🎧 AND WHO WAS IT MENT FOR, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN 😊

Check out Pentatonix doing this song. You might like it.

Check out the Live version of Disturbed version on the conan show. Its even better than this one. This one is great, the live version is AMAZING! Paul Simon loved it.

Great cover if havent done the CMA show of CHRIS STAPLETON and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE songs Tennessee wiskey/Drink u away ck out fire 🔥
