Disturbed - The Sound of Silence [Live in Dawson Creek, NC, Canada]

[heidirizzo]

I've studied classical voice for years. Anyone who has, may have learned that any unnatural sound like yelling or screaming can seriously damage your vocal chords. The technique he has to go from a screaming sound to a clean tone (not to mention back and forth between the two) is nothing short of amazing. His range is incredible. I've seen and read interviews with him and he is very knowledgeable on how the voice works and he sounds very disciplined on keeping it healthy. (staying hydrated, nonsmoking, no drinking, even the temperature of beverages) Anyone who knows what it takes to develop and maintain a voice like his would seriously appreciate his vocal and him as a singer. One of my all time favorite bands. Love their sound, versatility and power of their words. Really hoping to see them in concert this tour.

My nomination for the greatest cover of all time. I'm 60, grew up with the original. Disturbed's version, especially the last verse, never fails to give me chills up and down my spine.

[NihongoGuy]

I'm just not a Disturbed fan, but I must say that, in my 55 years, I do believe this is the most epic cover I have ever heard.

[tonyoldguy]

I'm an old guy (58) and loved Simon & Garfunkel's music. Sound of Silence is a favourite. I had never heard of Disturbed until I heard their version of Sound of Silence on the radio. I have to say that I'm blown away by it. If anything it has more feeling, passion and grit than the original. It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end which is the sign of a great song. Only a few songs have done this to me. UNBELIEVABLE!

[sebastianvanherle]

It's really amazing how much his voice doesn't change between the studio and the live version... this is what I call an ARTIST.

[challengerultralightadventure]

It is rare, but every so often, a song is written or remade by a singer or a band, that is so powerful that it can bring tears to the eyes of the most hardened heart. This is one of those songs, offered to the world by one of those bands. Bravo!

[DippyKippy]

Doing it live IS the Litmus test. David knocked it out of the park, much respect.

[CanadianPonchman]

You don't need to be a disturbed or rock fan. You need to love music and realize this is genius. Very uplifting

[gio]

I am disturbed to see 143 dislikes for this song. I am 54 years old and love the original by simon and garfunkel, but love this even more, and it's great that the young generation can hear such a wonderful version. Anyone that tells me this is no good would be greeted with the sound of silence and I would walk away

[TightyWhities]

My god dat voice... I think David has the most powerful sound I have ever heard. So powerful it gives me chills

[tinawiesner]

I can't tell you how many times I have listened to this and each and every time it  just gives me chills! His

[bkohler]

This song makes me teary-eyed every time I listen to it. David did such an AMAZING cover of this song. It's gorgeous

[suerichards]

only recently become a disturbed fan after hearing sound of silence. had to go out and buy the album. I just turned 50 and my daughter couldn't believe my choice in music lol love it

[mandala]

Touching, bittersweet irony ... "And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they'd made" while the crowd holds up their phones as flames. This is the best cover song I've ever heard, very powerful, and this live version gives me chills!

[SorinVBogdan]

The success of this song just shows how hungry society was for a breath of fresh air from the music industry

[jessicakornegay]

I've never listened to Disturbed, but have known who they were for years. I gave this song a listen and am so glad I did. OMG chills, man.... CHILLS!!

[brandonjeffers]

David Draiman... You sir are a vocal god. The power behind those low notes melts my mind. Try as I might, I will never have that ability. I completely envy you sir.

[rodrigomanuel]

I listen to this song on a daily basis. I've been battling 2 types of cancer for the past 11 months, osteosarcoma and a very rare blood cancer that will mutate to leukemia, I know there is no cure and have come to accept my fate, every day I battle with the thoughts of ending it before this illness takes me, I feel like a burden on my wife and society as I used to be extremely independent and now every movement is excruciatingly painful, the things we take for granted becomes a choir, going to the washroom exhausts me. My wife's dream was to see Celine Dion, in 2019 I made that dream come true and took her to Montreal to see Celine in concert. The other day she told me Disturbed is coming to Toronto for a concert, there is nothing I would love more than to take her to that concert, but as it sits, my health will not allow me to go, so instead, I bought a new 65" qled 8k tv, and a 9.2 onkyo sound system and play this song every day, blasting it, feeling the words they speak, and every single time I listen to this song, there are 2 things that cross my mind,
1) the beautiful things that the human race can do,
2) when I pass I will be singing this song to ease my sorrow.

I am 64 years old. This song is a favorite but this version is beyond anything I have heard.
David's voice is a gift. David is the new Pavarotti.

I didn't know who Disturbed was until I watched the Sound of Silence on YouTube three days ago. I cannot describe how much of an impact it had on me!! I told my son about it and he said, "remember when I went to Dawson Creek a few weeks ago? That's why we went. We had an extra ticket." I hope next time you make a stop in BC, it's in Prince George. 😇
