The look on their faces during 'the rant ' is classic.. Disturbed RULES!!

She is the first person that i have seen that reacted to this version of the song, that actually understood the part of the stages of child abuse in this song. Way to go.

Thank You for listening to the unedited version

As the child of an extremely heavy handed Dad (many years ago)...this still brings up that old emotion.

Love seeing new people introduced to Disturbed as a 20 year fan. some recommendations Prayer, Inside the Fire, Hold on to Memories, The Animal, Warrior, Vengeful One, Are You Ready. There are endless other greats but these are must hear IMO

Hey S & M Squad!!! Thank you all so much for watching! We hope you are having a great day on purpose!!! We also hope you enjoyed the video!!!

Sitting at the Drs office and he says "Open up and say ah" Me: Oh ah ah ah ah ah Dr: I see you are down with the sickness.

That reaction was priceless. When Mel described her thoughts at the end was absolutely spot on! Excellent, that couldn’t have been said better! 👍🏻 🙏🏻 Happy I found your channel.

As twisted as these songs seem it's how people deal with emotions and express what they're feeling without actually acting on them. Imagine being in that situation and hearing a song that portrays how you feel and the comfort and expression it can give you. Great breakdown Mel, I think you got a great understanding.

I absolutely loved your faces during that song. Such a switch from “Sound of Silence”. Disturbed also has songs that are thought provoking and supportive. Check out: “Reason to Fight” & “Hold on to Memories”

"Inside the Fire" is another good one by them (Disturbed), but seriously prepare yourself, it's pretty dark and it goes into some serious subject matter. Like suicide chain/spiral places kinda dark.

I love how even after "that part" and the horror of the words. You still cant help bumping to it when the song comes back.

coming form someone who tends to hold in emotions, music like this helps me cope with them. metal is an amazing stress reliever.

I love everybody's reaction to that last bit where he talks about his violent mother, because I know it's coming and to see the expression on your faces is priceless

AND WHEN I DREAM!!!! HA HA HA Loved it.

I love how they let the song play through to the end. Hard song for some to understand and they got it and gave a good review.

*”MOTHER”* is a term for the government. Don’t worry, he’s not literally talking about his mother, or a mother in general. I hope y’all read this so you don’t get this song wrong.

Thank you so much for listening to the un-edited version

I have to say your reaction to the Rant, had me gut busting laughing your faces were priceless

New to Disturbed and listens to Sound of Silence: “Alright. We’re good. That was great.” Second song is Down With the Sickness: “What did we get ourselves into?!?!?!”

They look so innocent.They ain't ready...😈😈😈

Your reaction is awesome 👍🎶💖👍💖🎶 disturbed are one of my favorites,more awesome Disturbed songs are inside the fire, stricken, indestructible, stupify,a reason to fight & hold on to memories 👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖👍💖👍

Your faces are priceless!! Love that you're both giving all music a fair shot whether you're diggin it or not! Often it's not as it initially appears.

The middle rant always DISTURBED me LOL. Great reaction 🤟🏻👍🏻

Thank you for understanding the meaning of this song

I love your reaction to this song! Thank you guys for choosing the uncensored version not too many ppl who just react to the PG version or censored. Keep up reactions!

Props for doing the unedited version.

You guys are probably the only ones to get this reaction right the first time lol kuddos on that 🤘

I've seen them in concert a few times...10,000 people yelling along during the breakdown is something to experience.

Finally!!! A reaction to the full version of this song!! Thank you!!! Subbed.

The look on your faces was priceless! Another great reaction fam

Mel you were spot on!! You grabbed the meaning of this song. You both rocked this song out! I am new to you both and by this reaction from you all ..I am in 💯

Want one that will really emotionally tear you apart. Korn “Daddy”.

I just want to say how much I love how open you two are to different genres of music. Especially her, right off the bat she understood and put herself in someone anothers shoes.

haha I love the "wtf did I just hear?" Faces

One of my favorite reaction videos yet. Yall are great!👍

I've watched a lot of reactions to this song. I wait until the dream sequence in this version to see the look on people's faces. It's always amusing to watch and you two were no different. I will say that most people don't get it but Mel you got it, nail on the head.

Y'all have great reactions, I love that y'all let the song play, and then really talk about what you thought.

I been on a "The Sound of Silence" reaction binge today and I knew as soon as you asked people to tell y'all about Disturbed this was inevitable. This isn't music you can just listen to. Disturbed performs art that you FEEL.

Absolutely freaking awesome reaction. First one I've heard that actually understood the message. I have watched several reactions to this video or song and most people are speechless after the rant. I appreciate you guys!

Thank you for being the first reviewers who got it the first time. Good job! Glad you enjoyed the beat and got the message. Cheers.

There faces during the rant just completely floored me! I literally fell out of my chair laughing!

"Prayer' by Disturbed is a must

My mom would play this in the car with us kids lmao!!! I was into Josh Groban and my mom listening to this kind of music haha we are best friends!

Your faces during the mommy part. forking priceless.

Your reaction when he goes off on that rant! LOL! Perfect.

You guys are killing it with the bangers!!

This my wake up alarm, it gets me up and moving. My husband likes the group but not at 5 AM 😉.

THE RANT IS THE BEST PART LMAO THE REACTION I LOVE IT!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣GETS YOU PUMPED That's a real moment tho right there you feel it

I love the openness of this channel🔥💯💪

😂😂😂😂😂😂 the shock at the mommy beatin 😂😂😂 hilarious

I'm a 68 yr old Grandmother who has been listening to Disturbed since the beginning. I saw your reaction to Sound of Silence and had to see if you had heard this. Congratulations... you are now Head Bangers! Welcome!

Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so much for doing the un clipped version of this song, as it was meant to be. With the "rant" part, this song means so much more

Lucky#7Like👍I'm here checkin in showing my love & support for yall channel like I always do family😁💙

I had so much fun watching your reaction to that disturbed video. Literally

Absolutely enjoy this reaction. The looks on your faces! But then your commentary after. Very very smart and then lightened.

That made me tear laugh! Thanks

Subbed to you guys last night, and loving playing catch-up lol. As a full on metalhead - loving your shit. Rock On!

Awesome reaction. You guys were really groovin' with it.

Just discovered this channel today. Mel is absolutely a metalhead. Love it.

Hey yall just started watching ya. Yall are fun to watch. Came a across you bc disturbed is my favorite band. Disturbed has so many great songs it's hard to keep Track. Inside The fire, Indistructible, and The animal are very popular songs by them as well. Thanks for the reactions.

Love the reactions

The look of shock and horror on your faces during the spoken verses was hilarious,has to be the best reaction to that section I've ever seen.

I love it!!! At the end of the song, you guys looked like you just got off the worlds largest roller coaster. 😎✌

Greatest reaction ,That I’ve I seen, Well said ,on your thoughts too

Used to watch these guys at a small bar called Champs on the south side of Chicago by my house at 16 years old. LOVED them ever since.

This couple is adorable!! Love their faces haha so funny

Best reaction to the sickness ever!!!!!!!

EXACTLY.... YOU HIT IT ON THE NOSE.... He said... When I dream.... WOW... DISTURBED does touch on these hard subjects.... its POWERFUL and a lot of people know this PAIN...

Disturbed has been around for a long time. A couple of more recent songs that are worthy are, "Stricken" and " The Light" . The light being my personal fave. Many more awesome songs for you also.

Wow...Just...Wow I watched it the first time with you. That touched you in your core. They were able to capture that in sound....

So glad you heard the unedited version. And she gets it!! Look into David’s history with his mom. (David us the singer) Great job! Most reactors don’t understand why and what that middle means

You guys nailed it!

You`re the only ones who reacted to the uncensured version. Thank you .

New subscriber. Listening to music you usually wouldn't. I'm glad you have chosen this path. Nothing evolves and comfort zone. You are wonderful conscious human beings.

Oh my! You both had me laughing out loud! I grew up with this music ❤️🙏 that’s why this song goes so well with zombie movies

You officially have a new subscriber!!! 🤗

If y'all haven't checked out any Jinjer, I highly recommend them. The best song to introduce you to for them is "Pisces (live studio session)". From there the rabbit hole goes further

So glad you got the message of the song right away...A lot of reactions didn't and dismiss it all! The look on BOTH your faces....PRICELESS

Awww i love seeing fresh reactions to this song haha

Just subscribed you guys do awesome reactions 👏

Your expressions were perfect! As you realized what the "demon in me" meant

I've always explained the song as what could happen when pain isn't properly dealt with, so that explanation was spot on Mel. Liked and Subscribed for the thoughtful commentary.

Finally, a reaction that doesn't react to the version that cuts out the rant. This is about how society treats people who are "different." A lot of people think they are "sick" and "wrong" and want nothing to do with them. In the middle of the song, lead singer David Draiman acts out a skit where he is being abused by his mother (not in the radio version). Finally, he builds up enough courage and hits her right back. This is used to symbolize how "mother society" abuses "her" children for not being the way "she" thinks they should. "She" keeps doing it until "her" children get sick of it and are so angry with her and themselves they go out and get revenge for it, most likely by killing the people that hurt them ("here it comes, get ready to die!") A good example of this would be the school shootings that go on around the country. Getting "Down With The Sickness" means accepting people for who they are so we can all function better.

The abuse by society on the individual. "Mother" is another term for society.

Awesome pick and reaction. 🤘🎶

Omg im scared and haven't even seen the video yet! So let me watch now

OMG your guys faces are classic. Absolutely loved your reaction

OMG!😂 The looks on your faces were priceless! I was terrified of your reaction as soon as the music started and I realized which version was playing. They play the nice version on the radio. But I know wmthis version too and I was thinking awwwww shiiiit! It's going DOWN! Glad it didn't turn you off of Metal which is my favorite genre. More Disturbed... Sound of Silence 1 more to react to, Slipknot

I love watching peoples reactions to the rant but this is by far the funniest one ive seen lmfao

So glad you did the full version. Some reactors don't and they miss out on "The Rant". Good reaction.

You've got it girl. You know what he's talking about.

What a great feeling is when you know what is about to happen and you eagerly wait to see their reactions....Ahhhh....this was fun. Thanks

Love from KANSAS CITY!!!

Met disturbed on the last tour. They are really dope guys. And one hell of a show

people like to drop this on unexpecting reactors because of its shock value. of which, you two were hit hard with it. with that said though, Mel, congrats on catching the message of the song. child abuse is a real problem, a silent problem, that needs remedied. now, not all Disturbed songs are this shocking. i would suggest Land Of Confusion (Genesis cover), also The Game, and two of my personal favorites Inside The Fire and Get Psycho. Inside The Fire is also another super deep message song...but without the shock lyrics, i promise

Mel your exactly right...you read into this song perfectly

I love this song

My heart still races every time I hear that "Mommy" part. It's way too real. P.S. My mother is a Saint.

This is a great f'n song. You picked a good one. The piece towards the end catches everyone off guard when he goes off on the mommy rant. This has a driving beat and great guitar rhythm. Plenty more great songs by Disturbed. Also, check out Pat Benetar's "Hell is for children" which has a dark message about children. Great job Shawn and Mel.......! By the way, your place is dope, whether it is real or just a backdrop!
