I think knowing the original as well as many of us do, makes this version so much better. It's a different kind of appreciation.

[petercyprian]

Everyone is blown away by this performance, rightfully so, and one of the most common comments I hear is "I did not expect that from a heavy metal band". My beef with that comment is this- first and foremost, they are professional MUSICIANS!! Musicians that have a preference for the heavy metal genre, but musicians to their core. What do musicians do? They make music! All kinds of music! Disturbed is a group of musicians, so do not be blown away just because you think they are just a heavy metal band. Be blown away by the sheer talent and execution- I know I was!

[willsmalls]

can you just imagine being in the audience that day and not expecting this...

[IdiotPosterBoy]

A classically trained voice. There's a fair amount of them among metal singers, but you don't always hear them using this side of their voice.

Paul Simons reaction to this was legit:

“Most of what you wrote 30 or 40 years ago is dated — that song has something else.” And he praised Disturbed's cover of the track, saying that he “liked it very much … it was accomplished very well, ” and that he reached out to Disturbed's David Draiman after it was released to tell him how much he liked it

[chadlee]

David was actually sick with the flu when he did this performance and still sounds amazing

[AlastorME]

The meme came from the original version of this song, this one is a cover (the best I've found, I must say). The original one was made by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, actually that's the one that sounds on the memes. Great performance by Disturbed on this one

[AxFo]

David is a formally trained opera singer. It's why he seems to have such commanding control over his large vocal range.

[DavidBrown-jtyi]

I’m sure there are 30 comments without reading any telling you how sick David was. I’ve watched 100 reactions on this song and it never fails. The guy can sing in a coma better than 90% of the singers out there.

[ThatMuhfugger]

No matter how many times i hear this song (especially this version), it sends a chill down my spine and raises the hair on my arms! Just an incredible perfomance

[DunPat]

When metal bands do songs like this you realise they are all amazing vocalists! They are better than you realise. Super talented! Disturbed music has evolved over the years to stuff much better than when they first started in my opinion.

[kevinsmith]

You should definitely check out the live version duet of this with Myles Kennedy. Amazing!

[mamalinhager]

I am an 81 year-old grandma and I love Disturbed ... this now is my favorite of all their music, but I love everything they have done ... too bad more old people like me don't appreciate all good music ... they seem to get stuck and won't listen to other stuff ... they sure are missing out...
I love everything from the big bands of the 30s and 40s
Old time rock and roll... not a giant fan of a lot of the music considered "folk" music.... love the big hair bands... on up to music of today. And Love Desturbed!!!!

[donaldsauer]

David was extremely ill with the flu when this was performed, the dude is an incredibly talented stud. Simon and Garfunkel put the song in our brains, David put it in our hearts.

Written by Paul Simon in 1964. Originally performed by Simon and Garfunkel.
“One of the biggest hang-ups we have today is the inability of people to communicate, not only on an intellectual level, but on an emotional level as well. So you have people unable to touch other people, unable to love other people. This is a song about the inability to communicate. It’s called, “The Sound of Silence”. — Paul Simon 1966
You can see/hear him say this before they begin their performance here:

The first time I heard Down With The Sickness, I knew we had a rare talent within our midst. That was back at the beginning of the new century. Good to see that they are still on the radar of some.

[Rosannasfriend]

I don’t think most people understand how incredible that man’s range is.

[wayneccj]

This is an excellent cover of Sound Of Silence. Very different feeling than the original by Simon & Garfunkel, but excellent nonetheless. My favorite Disturbed song is "The Vengeful One", & I love the official video for it.

[abigail]

I heard the original when it was first aired on the radio - blew us all away - and never dreamed it could be covered successfully, but I really do love this version.

[terryreese]

I seldom watch the show but happened to have caught this night. I felt honored to have heard this on that night. The rest of the night I was rewinding to listen to it again and again. Epic and I am glad that people are still appreciating this performance.
