Henderson, NV 89014

1. Nathan-DTS: Highlight of this is the steady volume increase juxtaposing the lyrics.
2. Joe Murphy: Hell yes!!!!!!
3. Exerev: The Contortionist - Language I and II. Best combination of trance and metal of all time
4. Tyler Bengel: Stricken guys it's a must listen
5. Colin Dunbar: personally i prefer this version to the original
6. digitalsmithy: man this song is so damn cringe I just don't understand why anyone thinks it's good. Yea I liked distrubed....when I was 15 and pissed at the world with shit taste in music...
7. Johnny Thacker: Sawyer Brown “The walk”... beautiful, full circle, Daddy song.
8. dzhellek: 4:38 The song was written by Simon and Garfunkel in the sixties. It's about watching the Vietnam war on the news every night and wondering what's really going on over there.
9. Christopher Frasher: Surprised ya'll didn't mention the blatantly obvious digital pitch correction effects on his voice in the beginning of the song
10. Nicole Jessica: This song is about how technology is going to disconnect us... It's very prophetic.
11. Brian Jablonski: Johnny cash hurt
12. 92960004g: I don't like you keep interrupting the song...just let it play. Its a deep feeling song. It relates in so many diff areas in whoever listens to it. Its an amazing song with deep words.
13. Michael Tracinski: Y'all should have stayed"Lost in Vegas",an,learn to appreciate music,not just,R n B,rap,ect,you both are bias an should"NOT",be judging any song,singer,ect. That is all. Michael T.,,,,,✌,an just my opinion.
14. Kevin Glass: Nice analysis, but you need to go back to 1960
15. Mikel Tami: Module79L facts.
16. Chris Bibber: The original was meant to be a warning of what was to come if no one spoke to break the monotony of silence. This cover, was produced to portray the anger that the warning was not listened to, and now, we are dealing with as a people the strife, and divisions of the world.
17. Maddi Lyons: Do zombies bad wolves cover
18. Cathy Garcia: The original was from 1964. I don't think the neon God is technology. Could be wrong but....
19. Leon Lamby: Thy Catafalque, Serember. Amazinf metal with violins!
20. DaMangs: Disturbed are dad rock at best. You guys wanna be impressed? MEGITSUNE BY BABYMETAL
21. Zebulon Swearingen: R K It’s like people are paying other people to do things for them, and then the people doing those things get a big head about it and over-charge them for it.
22. Trenton McIntyre: Espen Totland tool is just a beautiful band in general haha every song by them is perfection
23. vMufasa: you should listen to Disturbed - Indestructible to really understand him and the softer side of him in this cover.... disturbed has some really deep lyrics
24. Joe Kelly: Wasn't it also about the nuclear bomb victims of Japan? Idk who told me such but I remember hearing that for some reason
25. Go Jenny Go: Love this cover but you guys should check out their original stuff. "Stricken" would be a great one!! You guys are awesome, by the way!
26. Tyrannosaurus Sex: Please do, Pink Floyd: ‘High Hopes’ one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
27. ElephantDoorstep: Gojira - Pray
28. Daniel S: Born in winter - Gojira, you just need to do it
29. Gary Elshaw: Seriously, their whole video looks like an alt-right propaganda video.
30. God Emperor Robert Arrowsmith: Great choice fellas.
31. Daeis138: This cover was hot garbage. Butt rock sucks
32. Connor Darrigo: Check out the live version on Conan
33. zephaniah666: haha yessssssssssssssss they look so alike lol
34. Becky Neufeld: Simon an Garfunkel' had several hits 1960
35. Boomercougar: lol this was the quietest ive ever seen yall.
36. Ralph Dougherty: K JAM Land Of Confusion is not an original of theirs...It’s a cover of a song written by a band called Genesis in 1985. It’s about the Cold War and the stupidity of the Soviet vs Westerners being fueled by those in power from 1945-1985.
37. brian seccomb: This is a Simon and Garfunkel cover!!!
38. Michael Culler: you should check out Bobaflex's version of this song, it's powerful in an instrumental way. i love the original version this version and Bobaflex's versions
39. idontcare: I have to admit, I always thought he looked a bit like Howie too lol
40. Chuck Norris: That live Conan version is as close to perfection as I’ve seen. Much better than this version.
41. stealthRUSH: agree!!
42. Steven Busch: Been rocking out with disturbed since 99 there are great
43. Gleb Mikhalev: +Chris Wooldridge I don't know if I believe that he does posses that many semitones under his belt. I have listened to disturbed for quite some time and was never impressed with his vocal range and it was never apparent that he has four octaves. Ultimately comparatively to the other singers they listened to such as: Mike Patton, Devin Townsend, and Corey Taylor, David falls short since they have more semitones than even the singers you mentioned. Despite that though, if he actually does posses over four octaves and I just didn't hear it, then yeah, that is pretty impressive. The world record is 13 octaves by the way. This information isn't used to bash David or anything like that. I just think it's interesting.
44. Chris Black: You are correct about the original song. I believe they chose to redo it because of the state of music today. I believe the end scene is referencing Noah's ark, but instead of saving animals, they saved real instruments, not synthesized instruments. Still would love to see you guys do Rag N Bone Man
45. DXfan4ever100: Tool - Jambi. Please..
46. Denny Sensation: "People talking without speaking"= Texting "People hearing without listening" =Internet "prayed to the neon god they made"= Smart Phones Paul Simon can see the future
47. INZANE VIKING: React to Metallica: Nothing Else Matters awsome song!!!!!
48. Brad Williams: You guys hit the meaning on the head. Paul Simon originally wrote it to challenge the idea that technology was keeping people from interacting with one another. It's so much more meaningful today where everyone is walking around with their heads buried in their phones.
49. mdmyer: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
50. hans maulwurf: Perfect Circle not Tool
51. Just Liz: I might be the only one who doesn't like this version. To each their own. 🤘❣️... LMAO,Howie Mandel.
52. Calvin Shelton: Rob Zombie "Dragula" PLEASE?!!!!
53. Shinobi Shikami: Dudes, y'all gotta get a couple more disturbed songs thrown in there. They're one of the best metal bands around today.
54. Jaime Irles: Boring
55. South Paw: todays neon god is cellphone
56. Joe Dixon: He's classically trained
57. Roy Mendez: Band-Maid -Dice Great Rock song with a Japanese twist
58. Samsung Tablet: Dire Straits Sultans of Swing, I generally go for harder rock and metal but even if you dont like the sound you have to admit the studio recording is a complex intricate song executed flawlessly
59. Aaron A. Foster: To me, the song and video are about how True Music, by people who play True Instruments, is disappearing. The gap between the Musicians and the Listener, is deafening.
60. jorge villeas: George you are my tocayo
61. Jason Alaniz: Hey can do a reaction to Bad Wolves cover of Zombie by the cranberries
62. G Red: Yeah I was one of those who was gonna give you a thumbs down... this is a powerful song that was written in the 60s about what we are living now.. to handle it with a little bit of triteness was... well I expected better as a first time viewer. I sub'd so I'll be back~
63. flight666niko: Theater of tragedy cheerful dirge
64. Salvatore Baleno: Most under rated channel on youtube, I swear!!
65. Keith KC8TCQ: You need to do Disturbed "Down With The Sickness"
66. Daniel Gable: I've heard this song many times, and in the rest of my comment, I'm, in part, trying to get my own thoughts on what the song means to me straight, and communicate it in a meaningful way to others. Forgive me if I've not got my point across clearly. @ 3:40 (not about the song specifically, but having to do with the visual used) Just saying, if I write with the ink I made, using a metal pen, I can expect the plating on it to dissolve. My ink is oak gall and it will dissolve metal. Better for me to use a glass pen, a quill pen, or use a commercial ink that does not dissolve metal. @ 8:36 You may be right. If people do not communicate, it can give rise to misunderstandings that separate people, and create divisions that cause problems. @ 10:09 No, I don't think you're way off. In my personal experience, communication is the key to prevent misunderstandings. So, don't turn a deaf ear to what the people around you say. Listen and understand the message. Then you can discuss it in a reasoned format that can break down the barriers. There will always be people, however, who refuse to hear, or only hear what they want to hear.
67. Tom Cuthbert: this cover sucks... dude could not sing his way out of a paper bag let alone sing a classic like this..
68. Distortia1994: Oh, hell yes.
69. Simon Slee: King’s X - Dogman or Over My Head
70. Brian Ball: The original is obviously a classic, no question there, but Disturbed did an outstanding cover of this song. When I first saw it on Conan, even as a fan of some Disturbed songs prior to hearing it, I was blown away because David Draiman put so much passion into his performance. This isn't a band that would half ass a cover of a song that's so popular and means so much to so many people unless they knew they could 100% nail it, and they did. This is far and away the best cover of this song, I think you'd have a hard time finding anyone who disagrees with you on that. Glad you had an open mind to listen to a few versions of it and give it a chance.
71. Ira Dean: I just found lost in vegas tonight, you guys are great
72. Ritchie Ross: Shout 2000 and land of confusion are better covers imo.
73. Keith Evans: Average,karaoke style cover when every ageing punk knows the best cover ever is the Stranglers cover of Walk on by!! Try that ,still like your show but choices getting very samey.
74. Augie Tremmel: I think turning this masterpiece into an orchestration of this magnitude robs the song of it's haunting solitude. This song stopped being about people and relationships, and became about how super-cool Distubed is supposed to be. I dislike this song. And Disturbed. I liked the video, though. LISTEN TO NIB BY BLACK SABBATH INSTEAD.
75. MVX: Not sure if this is going to be red, but my understanding is that the song was actually written in reference to the atomic bomb and the Damage it does because when it explodes is like a neon light splitting the night in reference to Hiroshima and Nagasaki when we drop the bombs and utterly destroyed them and then the silence I just stayed afterwards, and then the whole worry of nuclear war between Russia I'm pretty sure it had to do with nuclear war and the end of civilization
76. Ethan Rothrock: Anthem Greta van fleet
77. Michael Hillmon: O&A tried to reach people with this one, but fell on deaf ears and I feal the Disturbed version is clearly more powerful and meant to drive it in our heads what the message of O&A is. At least that's what take from it.
78. Pat Fitzgerald: An oldie, but a legendary album... Meat Loaf Bat out of Hell. Any from that would be legend.. the best album ever created in my view. I would be interested to hear your views. My best are the title track and Heaven Can wait..
79. Robert Schneider: I'm still "meh" over this cover. Maybe because of my love of the original in its simplicity and harmonies.
80. Stan Lo: Where should I request songs at. I'm not a fan of this cover, rather have seen a reaction to Down with the Sickness.
81. Michael Bolli: The song is about the inability of people communicating with each other, not only through speech but emotionally taking away the ability to love one another.
82. marine6680: You guys got the general subject of the song pretty much dead on. The terms darkness and silence are used throughout the song as metaphor, but not in a consistent way. They are used as a metaphor for many different concepts. Some a little more direct, some a little more vague. The first use of darkness is somewhat literal, as it represents a dark room, as the person has just awoken from a dream. Then they sit there and talk to the darkness, basically just speaking out loud about the dream. (The silence used here also refers to the room) Later the person describes walking alone in darkness, only to find themselves in a small pool of light from a Street lamp. The darkness represents ignorance, and the light (and neon sign) a realization. (Silence used here is referring to ignorance as well) Then the song moves on to using silence as a metaphor for how people fail to communicate properly. This is to reinforce the verse about not listening, talking, or sharing songs. (Ideas) In the end, people are caught up in their own lives, and don't look around and communicate with those around them... Not real communication... Not seeking to understand those around them or have others really understand them... So the problems of the world continue on... As we ignore the wisdom in front of us... Written on subway walls and the tenement halls.
83. Gio Montgomery: I've heard this song since I was a kid, way before the advent of smartphones and social media. That interpretation of "the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made" written in the early 60s, is an uncanny view of modern society glued in reverence to their smartphones, oblivious and walking silently past everyone around them. The sound of silence
84. Glenn Thomas: Everyone bitching because they keep stopping the music. ITS A REACTION VIDEO. If you want to hear the song uninterrupted then look it up and watch it !
85. Kris S.: I love that you gentleman are dissecting this song during such an era. Simon & Garfunkel’s message of this song centered around society’s inability to communicate with each other effectively. I’m not sure about Disturbed, but this song landed right around the last US presidential election. For anyone who has engaged in the once taboo subject of politics during the last few years, it’s been obvious seeing people’s minds made up, and the rejection of outsider perspectives that would go against the grain of their inner narrative. Personally, I left the Democrat Party a few years back as I consider myself more of a free-thinker (whoop-whoop) that needed more information than Democrats we’re giving me. But me asking questions of both Republicans & Democrats to engage in centrist dialogue and gain a better understanding, I’ve been labeled sexist, racist, homophobic, and anything else that could be used to attack my character. For me, this song sums up political dialogue today in the face of social media, memes, short video clips, and other summarized messages that contribute to a person settling on an idea and no longer listening to the message their friends, neighbors, and family members are saying.
86. April Ray Alabama Tall Chic: Love them. I'm 38 and I went to my first concert where Disturbed was the opening act in 2000. Now I'm 38. 18 years and they are still my favorite!!
87. Patrick Tavares: You guys need to react to their song The Light.
88. Jay Hamilton: You're right George, Dave Draiman does look a lot like Howie Mandel. Oh, and this is not the best cover of All-Time. Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's Hurt is a lot better. You guys need to do more Disturbed, because they sound nothing like this normally.
89. April Poucher: "The Offering" and "Dragonfly" by Shaman's Harvest are excellent songs and not really that well known
90. Scot Johnson: I have one thing to say. A.R. Coating on your glasses!!!! All I see are your lights reflecting in them.
91. Rodney Steffan: The live version was great on Conan
92. Chris Wooldridge: His vocals are this band's focal point, as they should be. Great range, control, tone, and power.
93. llllllllllama: On touring with Alter Bridge, Disturbed performed this song with Myles Kennedy, and that is on another whole level. You should definitely check out that version as well!
94. Judd hidalgo: U need to react to this live version with Myles Kennedy doing the harmony of the melody!!!!!: link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3By4DZyTNM
95. Lee Ann: Must say, while I really, really like Disturbed--I prefer Simon & Garfunkel.
96. David Schreiber: Please do "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed.
97. Chris Heim: David draiman dude can sing
98. Disturbed Pyro: Fleetwood Mac- The Chain!
99. Deb Bradford: His voice rocks, cool cover, but a bit DARK.
100. summer magnatta: It's a song about not speaking out against the government... ....
101. Tim Ricci: Very deep video, great remake
102. Scott Hobbs: I disagree... I think this version does no justice whatsoever to the original... now it is more like "The Sound of Mediocre Rock Ballad"
103. Dquota: My thoughts: The digital era is killing the real music writers and instrumental artists. Death of a genre.
104. Robert Chappell: Where is some shinedown. Their cover of simple man
105. Franklin Souza: Meh...I prefer the Brazilian version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6siofyTJP9o
106. Omar Rodriguez: Do Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains or The Stage.
107. Chromodar: I think the greatest cover ever made is A Perfect Circle - Imagine. By changing the music and singing style, they update the atmosphere of the song from Lennon's hopeful naivety, to a more currently relevant desperate pleading. I think that's incredibly well done.
108. droid1963: Rosie, Ol’ 55, or The Piano Has Been Drinking.
109. huck l berry: guy on right needs stfu and listen more to songs rather than himself. pay attention to your partner on left. respect some talent. no one likes hearing your fail attempts at being eddie murphey
110. Bonzoso21: The original is a classic and Disturbed did just fine with their version even though I prefer Simon and Garfunkel. Still, I could think of so many covers off the top of my head that I would place so far above this, many with more unique spins on the originals and some that were so iconic they became the definitive version: Stevie Wonder - Superstition, Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower, Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused, Tool - No Quarter, Johnny Cash - Hurt and Rusty Cage, Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night, Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends, Chris Cornell - Billie Jean, Guns N Roses - Live and Let Die … … …
111. Sergio Saez: that is a exelent cover but i think that the best cover of all times is Death - Painkiller!!! you must listen it!
112. King_Kong05: You totally pronounced a the silent “B” in subtle @7:38 🤣🤣 .. found that somewhat ironic because of the song lol
113. Luv Life: Freedom of speech has gone in Britain
114. Dean Adams: You guys would dig Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold
115. Greg Stricklin: SHINEDOWN SOUND OF MADNESS - SECOND CHANCE - SIMPLE MAN(COVER) - IF YOU ONLY KNEW - 45
116. wvusmc: +moffe2k it's a bummer, for sure. I was gonna skip their show this tour because I don't like the new album but I think I will go now to see this line up one last time. They always put on a killer show. Hopefully the guys revisit Machine Head again. Darkness Within is a great choice.
117. Todd Brakefield: Doomed by Bring Me The Horizon Their lyrics are pretty fun to try and figure out
118. Ben Byrd: Stricken by disturbed bros!! Thats the one dudes...or either Prayer by disturbed
119. Brent House: Seether - “Careless Whisper” , AWESOME cover of a classic song!!!
120. Efe Karadağlı: Refused - New Noise!!!
121. Rikko5500: Lets hear some Pink Floyd, you guys have a incredible catalog but you are lacking PF so lets get with the program and hear some PF!!!!
122. Gerardo Diaz: This cover is just cheesy as hell its not very good
123. John Westmacott: Personally, I'd have preferred the pretentious , meaningful discussion to have taken place after the music. I could have then listened to the music and turned off without being subjected to Beavis and Butthead .
124. Miles Henley: This song live at aftershock in 2016 brought me to tears.
125. Manuel Clavijo: Cynic how could i wacken version -,-
126. MrDisturbed33: Do not ever compare David draima n to Howie... Come on guys... Lol
127. Usman Ramay: What exactly are you supposed to look like to sound good?
128. Frame 313: You guys are slipping......... just saying. From the horrible song choices to pausing the song to make comments that have nothing to do with the song. I’m heading to see what King KTF is dropping, that guy has been ON POINT
129. tom hamilton: Skillet - Feel Invincible
130. austin clark: Guys havent finished the video yet. Rewatch this video of yourselves. You can see on the screen how taken in you were by the song. That's the point of music. It's awesome to see.
131. UroborosFriends: How about some Lordi? Songs I think you may enjoy: Hard Rock Hallelujah Naked In My Cellar Would You Love a Monsterman Deadache
132. Brian Plunkett: Love you guys !! awesome reviews and reaction. If, you get a chance check out Randy Rhoads from Ozzy Osbourne (songs Mr.Crowley and Crazy Train ) and check the band Warrant out. song ( Uncle Tom Cabin ) You guys would love these songs!!
133. ham4fun: not a soul patch... it is a piercing.
134. Valid Point: If you guys like this you have GOT to do Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. It’s so good that Trent Reznor has basically said it’s not his song anymore.
135. Ana Vuruna: Yay!!!! You finally did it! Been waiting for this one. Thank you guys
136. Vladimirs S: Best cover of all time is "Crying in the rain" by A-ha 1990's version covering The Everly Brothers' 1962 original. That's my biased personal opinion of course.
137. Ian Hernandez: This is the first time I think I have ever heard this version, but I still prefer the original. Great reaction as always guys, and could y’all please react to Letter To Me by Brad Paisley?
138. James Costello: Death Angel Hatred United/United Hate
139. ruric thar: You should do something by Chris ledoux
140. Troy Batey: It's about war
141. Jack Wareham: Zombie - bad wolves cover
142. Tiernan Flaherty: Gin Blossoms - Found Out About You!!!
143. Kevin Gorczyca: Just click almost any other disturbed song to gain a greater appreciation for this song
144. Serenadium79: I'm just gonna start by saying my opinion is bias to begin with here,but I'd much rather hear Nevermore's cover of this song instead,plus I've never been Disturbs biggest fan either
145. dallas broders: down with the sickness
146. Dejan Karisik: The Mars Volta - Drunkship of Lanterns
147. Bryce Taylor: Down with the sickness
148. Daniel Martins: Great Simon+Garfunkel original — lots of credit for the composition and lyrics. Decent cover. A bit overrated, in my opinion. It’s the type of song that I’d listen to once, appreciate it, and move on to never listen to again.
149. Tiffany Glaspie: Also...music is art.......it’s meant for you to take it as it speaks to you....your version is great.....
150. Amir Hill: Do shinedown’s cover of simple man!!!!
151. Bizee Bonez: The song title says it all . ...and yes, I was trippin' when you stopped the video for such a ridiculous comment. lol David Draiman (the singer-lead singer of Disturbed) is a classically trained vocal God. Don't know if you have, but if not, do a reaction to their (Disturbed's) song 'Prayer'; I'd love to hear you guys pick that song apart.
152. karen salomonsen: Paul Simon wrote this song in 1964 and you have to understand what was happening at that time in order to understand the lyrics.
153. OrdinaryHuman: The hard part is picking a Symphony X song to start with. Awakenings or Acolade II might be my vote.
154. Noricavus: This is definitely a great cover. Could you guys please react to Hum - Stars? It would be greatly appreciated!
155. toffe2ventil: Still pushin for Orion-Metallica
156. Khajiit Thundercat: Or A Moment of Clarity!
157. Drunk but Truthful: Queens of the stone age-a song for the dead
158. Bri Guy: Now play Down with the sickness by Disturbed and react 😂
159. ItsReever: Check them doing this song live on Conan as well. David Draiman’s voice is even better live. And also... GO KNIGHTS GO!
160. ExuberantRaptor: You've reacted to 'The Vengeful One' by Disturbed.
161. Siendorf: Periphery - Stranger Things. From this video definitely a great cover!
162. ruca428: Great song
163. Ivaylo Iliev: Deftones - 7 Words
164. Mari ZenSoul: He is trying to teach them , tell them whats in his heart, and people could listen but not hear what he was telling them. Its like being a parent lol
165. Adam Sandoval: Awesome reaction, garbage cover.
166. Joemylefttoe: There are many cover versions of this song out there. Many are better than this one IMO. Of course the original version by Simon and Garfunkel is by far, without a doubt the best version available.
167. Per Svensson: Wanna hear growling but at rap speeds? Try Archsprie - involuntary doppelgänger
168. Havuseen Mymonkey: My favorite band yall need to do Down with the sickness and Stricken
169. Trey N: I was waiting for a heavily distorted guitar to come in and them to start doing a heavy metal cover of this song but it never came:( = They are a good band and he is a good singer and it was a good cover but not at all what I was expecting.
170. Susan Meador: Like this version so much better than the original.
171. Jake Wiggins: So this is the first youtube comment I've ever left, but y'all are great and I truly enjoy keeping up with the channel. As a lifelong country fan from Texas, y'all's receptiveness/open-mindedness is super refreshing. Plus, y'all are reintroducing me to rock and metal, which I haven't kept up with in years. I have a few suggestions for artists I don't think y'all have covered (I'm gonna spam this comment because it took a minute to type): Country: Cody Johnson- Never go home again, half a song, talk to me right, dear rodeo, look so good in love (George straight cover), the only one I know, or really any of his songs (strongly recommend a live version with just Cody and a violist, it really highlights his talent) Randall King- Mirror, Mirror Turnpike Troubadours- Every Girl Jake Worthington- Just keep falling in love, Hell of a Highway Randy Rogers Band- Lonely too long, Kiss me in the dark, In my arms instead Adam Craig- Just a phase Josh Turner- Your Man Randy Travis- On the other hand, Parker McCollum- Hell of a year, meet you in the middle Morgan Wallen- Cover me up (Jason Isbell Cover) Rock/Other: Modest Mouse- Night on the sun Led Zepplin- Kashmir Beck- Loser Dio- Rainbow in the Dark Colton Wall- Devil wears a suit and tie AC/DC- Back in black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Highway to hell Chevelle- Send the pain below Rap: Chance the Rapper- Sunday Candy, same drugs, smoke again, the worst guys Childish Gambino- Firefly, freaks and geeks J Cole- Love yours, No Role Modelz Freestyles (IDK that many but yall should do more!)
172. Andi Randolph: Another great cover: Bad Wolves "Zombie."
173. Adam Porter: Yup. You guys are way off. This is about the long hard journey to making it to the top of the music industry. A reminder of those who cant seem to get their music out there. A reminder of the ones who can play the instruments but are never heard . The failure to bring these people together. It's all about lost music. Nothing political. Just simply lost music never to be published. Never to be heard.
174. shb: Dear god... never listen to the version of this by Nevermore. I like me some Nevermore but that version is just terrible... Gotta give them credit for making it their own though...
175. Jordan Thompson: Disturbed is the Nickelback of metal.
176. Movito: Big Daddy Kane - Uncut, Pure (Not the Remix)
177. stephane alie: silence represent society
178. mnyfrnthg: I still like the original better.
179. Cindy Chavez: I’m still waiting on fairies wear boots by Black Sabbath 🤷🏻‍♀️
180. eddie sexton: Holy shit he did not write this song people it is a cover although he did a great job
181. Bryant Smith: The live performance on.. Conan, is actually much better than the studio version. Also heard em perform it at Ozzfesf '16 and it was quite amazing. Not a big Disturbed fan by any means, but I was impressed.
182. James Moncrief: I believe this song is about living without music which would be tragic. Check out "The Face" by Clutch. It's says the same thing basically.
183. SevansVII: I prefer the Nevermore cover of this song; it's a completely different beast.
184. peolesdru: You should listen to "Remember" by Disturbed.
185. Daniel Fomenko: if you like this, check out "Easy" by Faith No More
186. Govuu Vecece: wow!!!...hadn't heard the song before?...it's almost iconic...
187. Marco Salazar: More disturbed!!!!!!
188. Lorenzo Dicocco: Ok guys. Time for some serious guitar and Blues. MUST MUST MUST REACT TO THIS........ Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart - I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU - Lyrics
189. Serai3: The neon god is the 20th century version of the golden calf. It is the fascination that comes with technology, the obsession, the willingness to turn over our lives to it. The prophets inveigled against wealth and privilege because they bring strife and war and suffering not in their wake, but as part of their being. Now the wealth lies not in gold, but in the imaginary world of money that exists only in the machines we depend on more and more for everything - and that is the god we have made.
190. Lieutenant Dan: Cowboy Hat - Chris LeDeaux
191. Darkhearst Toys: It's crazy how there are people that still listen to Nu Metal. I mean, I liked it at the time, but now it's just embarrassing.
192. Kristi Weltin: Disturb.....down with the sickness!!! This song never gets old ..it gets u pumped up!!- I think U both would enjoy it.. I belive, maybe ryan a lil more.. love it when he Looses his shit...but the drumming alone is worth hearing.!!
193. Matt Harrison: You guys should have used their live performance on Conan. Or at least should check it out. I think it’s better than the studio version
194. Nuggets, Boi: Despite it being written in the 1960s, that is an interesting interpretation that is totally applicable in this day and age.
195. Luliby: Nevermore also covered this song, many years ago. Their version was, except for a few nods to the original, basically a song they wrote with the lyrics to Sound Of Silence. It's not a bad cover, but I do like that Disturbed covered the song and made it their own without completely changing it so that it doens't even resemble the original.
196. Jim Edwards: Neon god is the success and commercialism our society craves.
197. Rodney Farrar: As far as covers go yall already did the best cover. Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.
198. Amer532: !!!Battle Angels by Sanctuary!!!
199. dirtygore: Please don’t ever do another disturbed song ever again. None of there songs are any good and they all sound exactly the same.
200. Harry J. White: Not familiar with Disturbed at all. I am only familiar with the original Simon and Garfunkel performance (a folk song with acoustic guitar only). It's hard to shake the sound of a classic song and the original performance from your head when listening to a cover. Seeing the singer yell some of the lyrics of this song like a demon at the camera is just funny to me and then it irritates me. His performance is so over the top it ruins this song for me. I think this was a bad song for them to cover.
201. imshannon nottellin: he has no soul patch. they're piercings mad to look like that. his voice is amazing because he is classically trained in opera and sings for a metal group
202. Jam Sena: Architects - Doomsday
203. TheLeqendl: disturbed - stricken/down with the sickness/stupify
204. Darlene Perry: This song was written during the Vietnam War era, and when technology was really taking off and the war was not popular with the young ppl protesting.The government was more into going to the moon, and this was concedered a protest song at the time it was written, toward the war and trying to go to the moon.??
205. Dilios Spartanetz: After he said that Rap Devil is a better diss than Kamikaze i just can't take the guy on the right seriously
206. Goth 21: Morbid Angel Chapel of ghouls
207. Inserat the band: I cant stand this cover. It totally missed the point of the original in terms of what the song was about. They made it feel uplifting and triumphant when the subject matter is actually quite depressing and melancholy.
208. Rob Riginio: I cant breathe during the Conan version.
209. MrShucklers1: Whitechapel "Bring me home"
210. Ryan McAllister: I'd love to see an Architects reaction. I do think Doomsday is the best song for George and Ryan to hear based on sound and lyrics behind the story of losing Tome Searle to cancer. However, Devils Island and These Colours Don't Run pack a real punch when you watch the video with them given the strong political message.
211. Christopher Peters: Yawl are such beautiful souls!!
212. Jason Saunier: I can not stand this rendition. Sounds like a drunk Michael Bolton
213. aderi31415: +Igornopolis Gonna have to disagree with you there. Eat The Elephant was a pretty good album.
214. TreeBark Monster: Eric Church - Mr. Misunderstood, kill a word, record year, cold one, talladega, drink in my hand, cold one, Springsteen Jason Aldean - the truth, any ol’ barstool, drowns the whiskey
215. Steven Salembier: Great video, guys! But I think it's that time again... Gojira - toxic garbage island
216. Dennis Empey: Also you should do audioslave - like a stone
217. Dragonfly: Here's a decent interpretation I found. Can't cite the author as they are unkown: I feel it is an allusion to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." While the ideas of commercialism (the people bow and pray to a neon god they made, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, etc) run throughout the poem, it also has to do with a frustration the narrator feels with humans in general. They are content to "hear without listening," not willing or interested in focusing on anyone or anything too intently. They are not willing to go beyond the superficial, but merely to accept the world around them, as no one "dares disturb the sounds of silence." The allusion comes into play in the beginning, as the narrator has a revelation, a vision, that awakes him from this superficial, merely shadowed world. He rises, walks alone as the man in Plato's story did, and he sees the light. He tries to tempt others out of the cave of ignorance and look beyond teh surface of things, but his "words like silent raindrops" fall. His attempts are futile.
218. aceholeas: I'm just going to say it. I didn't much care for this cover.
219. kitty5964: oohhh hell NO
220. Dennis Cooke: +sacredomens I typically get nothing but hate because I dislike this version. To each their own, I say.
221. James Gaming: Id like to see you guys try some darker metal bands....Try Dissection- Where dead angels lie. Great guitar, lyrics are poetic and drums are solid....Break through the mainstream stuff....
222. StephenRahrig: dextc Uhh dude. If you are using the term “elementary knowledge” and are “shocked” that someone doesn’t know it.....I honestly can’t think of a better way to describe a music geek!!
223. Payton Lawson: You guys should do another Avenged Sevenfold- The Stage or Shepherd Of Fire
224. Boomercougar: yall would appreciate it more if you had heard some other disturbed songs. just sayin.
225. Rich Courtney: My favorite lines, I've always loved since I first understood(Or thought I di) this song as a teenager. Because I have heard this song and album(Simon and Garfunkle) since It came out, was My Mothers favorite all time Album. any these lines just are haunting to me... And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence And I think, to me, the meaning is about not listening to the suffering masses, the poor, the disenfranchised, the Lost and helpless... and what really is meaningful in life ….
226. sacredomens: I prefer this version because I enjoy this style of music more, everyone likes different things.
227. r alch: Dude has a talent for singing, but the whole thing rings hollow to me. Maybe cuz the original was so perfect. Anyway, my usual recommendations: Alternative: Three Days, by Jane's Addiction 2nd chance: New Dawn Fades, by Joy Division Repeat band: Lazy, by Deep Purple Metal: Balls to the Wall, by Accept Classic: Sweet Thing-Candidate-ST reprise, by David Bowie Folk rock: Old Man, by Neil Young Country alt. rock: Sweethearts, by Camper Van Beethoven Punk: The Have-Nots, by X Cover: Hazy Shade of Winter, by The Bangles (original: Simon & Garfunkel :D)
228. alicekralice: *React to Anderson Paak and Kendrick Lamar- Tints*
229. Chad Bartlett: It's a great cover but, one of the best covers of any song ever is shinedowns cover of lynard skynards simple man
230. Jody Tegge: J Morris...... nailed it!
231. Yao Lin: What do you guys think about Episode 666 - In Flames?
232. toolmanick: You heard it in the movie "Trolls"😄
233. Nathaniel Reynolds: bahahaha no he looks like howie
234. Pete Welsh: I hate this version. The obvious auto tuned vocal (as an effect he doesn’t need it) and the excessive yarling just suck. This recording makes me cringe. When it came out I thought oh Disturb’s label needed a commercial hit let’s release this as a cynical money making hack cover. It sounded like that then, it sounds like that now. Also as a reaction this just feels really awkward- just say it suck guys! Analysis of the lyrics when it’s a cover is just weird too. If you’re going to do that, then do the original and credit the lyricist.
235. Dante Lima: Really don't know why people love this cover so much. It sounds exactly what it is, a shitty nu metal band striving for legitimacy by covering a classic. It's trying way too hard. The music and lyrics themselves do all the heavy lifting in the Simon and Garfunkel version, but this version just reeks with "we've got to make this super serious, look how serious we are guys."
236. James Brown: +J L I wholeheartedly disagree. A very poignant and powerful rendition of this song. The original is absolutely a classic, and will continue to set the bar. But as covers go, this one brings this song to the present and simultaneously acknowledges and decries the division and vitriol present in our society today. Disturbed mad it even more powerful that the original, and appropriate for the times. Rumor has it that Paul was impressed and agrees with that assessment.
237. Tarsis Drake: People are definitely hearing without listening.
238. olavrell: Please do a reaction to Emperor - Ye Entrancemperium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk2v0TmKZDE or With Strength I burn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj_g0hpVUKw .
239. Daisy Randall: Everyone should go check out too lit Mafia here on YouTube.. he does reaction videos and he's great.
240. Tim Leuyckx: Or the black plot, or electric Messiah. Since it just released. High on fire all the way!!
241. Red King of Sulphur: Absolutely, High Hopes is one of my favourites by them
242. Brian McAlpine: Fame and gloria by Ambrien Dawn :)
243. Kieran Shae: could you please react to Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall?? They are an amazing rock band from Finland who need more love in the US.
244. Brady Heath: Alice In Chains! Rain when I die!!
245. Jerred Boshears: This is not a good introduction to disturbed. You have nothing to base how good this is off of. The people requesting did yall dirty on this one
246. ddubtoille: How did you comment this 1 month ago when this only came out 1 day ago? Is YouTube glitching? Edit: just realised you must be a patreon
247. Tushar Roy: IMO All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix is the best cover of all time. Definitely not anything by Disturbed IMHO.
248. LiquidEagle232: Do Gloria by The Dear Hunter
249. lucifer lavey: Although this is cool, Nevermore's cover is significantly more potent and heart-felt.
250. Michael Tabor: David Draiman is probably the only metal lead singer who was also classically trained in Opera. I think the fact that he has such control over his voice is why people who are used to the heavy stuff from Disturbed freak out when they hear this
251. Verna Bautista: Nightwish - ever dream live wacken 2013
252. Deborah Beck: There's such a feeling of indecency and rot with this current Admin and to me it makes it even worse. It's as if we took the three steps forward and are now being positioned to take seven steps back. Are all of these fights going to have to be reinitiated?
253. Jakob Danielsen: Avenged sevenfold-mad hatter
254. Jennifer Beck: I'm not impressed with either of you are critizing the singers looks not how he is singing. It's disrespectful.
255. Teejay Jones: Live version is better.
256. Bo Rabon: Listen to prayer by disturbed
257. jackandcoffee1145: Don't have to react to it, but he did a live duet with Myles Kennedy from Alterbridge and there's a good video of it on YouTube. It's really good. It would be cool to see y'all react/review to that video.
258. Hyperion1977: "Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning... Disturbed's version is rage because the warning was ignored." ~ Random comment on another video
259. Jan InsaneMTL: Guys, you got to check out Cypecore - The Hills Have Eyes =)
260. daft vagrant: Simon said in an interview, when he was much older, that this song is basically just teen angst. Fortunately, IMHO, he wrote it in such a way that allowed the song itself to grow and take on different meanings as time moved forward.
261. D. Ryan: Warrior is a badass Disturbed song
262. bdylanfan90: Bob Dylan - blowing in the wind
263. Krieghandt: This song has been covered more than 60 times by professional artists, and an uncountable number of times by YouTubers. And this cover is absolutely amazing. You have heard Disturbed before, but he didn't sound anything like this. He completely blew his fanbase away with this hit.
264. James Englebert: Have y'all watched the music video for Forever Country from the ACM awards? If not it would make a good reaction video.
265. dextc: StephenRahrig well... Guess we just got different ideas of what common knowledge is 😊
266. Helen Breakiron: I was playing this song on my cellphone; my husband walked in the door from work, and immediately stopped in his tracks when he heard it.....
267. nbadhorse: Don't care for the way you did this reaction videos. Listen to the song, then make your comments.
268. Sombra SS: Can you react to Sabaton ghost division?
269. Richard McLean: Howie Mandell 🤣
270. Renee Zemlock: It's a great cover, but I think the thing that makes it SOOO good, is that it was done by Disturbed. This was such a far departure from what they usually do. Listen to "Down with the Sickness" and you'll be even more impressed with this cover.
271. Ben Shandrow: Metallica - Blackened lol
272. Kjc Ile: Because the original came out the yr. I was born gives brownie points and I don't think it's fair that most examples they use to compare Simon & Garfunkel are a live performance late in their years. I hear many people comment on how David Draimon sounds exactly the same live as in the studio. I do love Disturbed's take on it the best tho. As far as these kids go. I think they were close on a lot of things. I just think that it's hard to imagine life without tech. so they don't get the concept of "the sound of silence"
273. Metal_freak: I hope you guys haven't given up your day time job
274. Eric Krupa: I tried but...had to stop. Not sure why you’re reviewing a song that you ain’t listening to. First stop cause white people look alike....we all know that. Second stop...”soul patch”?.......those are piercings Third stop...telling us the lyrics that the guy is actually singing.....we know what he said. Dude.....I made it 4 minutes in.....I tried.
275. Thomas Boyer: This was a song written during the Vietnam war and was a protest against the politicians for starting it . And the people who died up to 1968 . We left in 1975 . The neon god was politics and money . This was to wake people up
276. ou812gtit haha: Doppelganger somebody get Howy
277. Kevin Li: coulda sworn y'all already did this one.!!!! odd.. !
278. Kashmirknight: I really like wooden jesus too
279. Tanner Babcock: Disturbed prayer
280. Neil Tipton: Can you tell me something about this song? Do you know anything about it?
281. The Dude86: They are a great band guys. Alot heavier than this song implies. Check em out.
282. Affecting Mandela: Avatar Bloody Angel
283. Satanic News Network: Sorry, but the best cover has gotta go to Killswitch Engage for "Holy Diver"
284. Rachel Sviantek: I think you should listen to another song by Disturbed if only for reference of how unexpected this cover was for fans. Part of the reason I think people love it so much is how different it is from their norm. That said I do love this version, another good cover is "Gone Away" by Five Finger Death Punch. The original was done by Offspring.
285. Rares Ionut: You should have reviewed the live version of this cover which features none other than Myles Kennedy(of Alter Bridge).
286. Josue Briseno: Down with the sickness?!?!?!?
287. H E: he's a classically trained vocalist but does mostly metal
288. First Last: I reckon Perfect Circle does one of the best cover songs ever with their cover of the Beatles song Imagine
289. Mut -: This song on here is a solid 7 out of a 10 .. but the live performance on conan obrien show was a 100000 out of a 10
290. wikawldgrl25: Love this version so much better. Not taking anything away from the original but just my personal preference. I think this version has a more powerful meaning and feeling behind it when I listen to it. My take on it is that people are so into themselves that they are missing everything around them. People talk without even thinking and hurt people with their hurtful comments without caring about other's feelings. People hear what they want to hear and not what other's are saying to them. Most individual's are not empathic towards one another and if more people could put themselves in one another's shoes and try to understand what the other may be going through, stop thinking about only themselves and the money they make or material things they acquire and even did one good deed a day without expecting something out of it, the world would be a better place than what it is heading towards today. Disturbed's newer music has awesome meanings behind their words, like Disturbed's The Light (making this a request please). Sometimes the videos that we watch get in the way of the actual lyrics and the meaning that is meant behind it.
291. Kyle Brokaw: Been waiting on this man
292. geezertd: Pearl Jam guys... you gotta get some Pearl Jam in here at some point. Go Once Rearviewmirror Hail, Hail Why Go ... take your pick.
293. Jeff Hall: You guys suck save your bs comments to after the video
294. Gina R: This remake sucks!!
295. Layla Li: Ther ya go boiz, now react to down with the sickness!!!!😈
296. Ty Sroufe: YES, Helloween, something from Keeper of the Seven Keys I or II.
297. Ruan Singh: Bring back some slipknot
298. Joseph Scaramuzzino: The offspring "gone away"
299. Chris Waltman: You guys are watching the videos now? Nice touch, I like it.
300. Lee 8179: You should react to Alter Bridge - Words Darker than their Wings live at the royal Albert hall. Mind. Blowing!
301. IamBigNizz: Sho nuff
302. LucianoG Benitez: Slipknot-vermillion. PLEASE!!
303. Mitsune Kusajishi: the death of music or rather the death of sound
304. professorrik: This song was published on September 12, 1965 - The Civil Rights and the Anti-War Movements vs. the "Establishment".
305. moffe2k: I've been at it for well over half a year now, still nothing. :P I hope they'll do it soon.
306. paul jay: I couldn't help noticing in your videos your love for songs with groove. It just came to me while watching your "When the Levee Breaks" about how cool it would be for you guys to listen to their other track called "Black Dog". On another note, you might also wanna check out other interesting tracks like Ghost's "Year Zero", System of a Down's "Hypnotize" and Iron Maiden's "Aces High" (if your ears could bear to give them another chance, lol).Hope to see 'em on your channel sometime. Keep exploring guys!
307. Tommy Apples: I like that they get into the lyrics. Was some damn fine songwriting
308. Richard Bexborn: the original heavy version by Simon and Garfunkel is much much better, and ironically heavier!
309. paul mallon: This song is meant to be done as a duet but I still like it
310. Julie Tallman: I’ve been waiting for y’all to review this one. I’ve always liked the song The Sound of Silence but when Disturbed came out with their cover I loved it! It’s in my top 5 on my playlist. Would love for you to review one from 2014. It’s X Factor Australia 2014 - The audition of 14yr old Marlisa Punzalan sings “Yesterday” by the Beatles. It’s different and truly beautiful. She actually won that season. https://youtu.be/GfikkBPKRWY Thank you for reading. I love, love, love watching you review all the different songs. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Peace and love! ✌🏼❤️
311. Andrew C: Gojira - LeEnfant Sauvage
312. Cordell Warren: If you ever watched "Watchman", the original version is played during the Comedians' funeral.
313. Lia Toupin: Thanks for the honest reaction. Disturbed is one of my all time favorite bands. Like top 5 for me. I've seen them in concert 6 times. I've been a fan since The Sickness album in 2000. I highly recommend them. David Draimen is a great singer. Every album has at least a few great songs that even years later i love to blast and scream/sing along with. Check them out some more.
314. Matas G: +Steve Kozlowski They already did For Whom the Bell Tolls, they watched the cliff em all version
315. Danielle XOXO: Great jobs guys!! As usual! ❤️
316. A Boy Named Charlie Brown: Am I the only person who thinks this cover sucks? I love Disturbed, but everyone keeps praising it despite the fact he sounds corny af.
317. Syn Dark: I rarely comment on videos, so I have to agree and disagree. The writing of the song, is beautiful..... Incredibly, but from hearing the original, to listening to Disturbed (and especially David lyrically) for making this song so much more then it ever truly was. To this very day when I hear the Disturbed version, I get chills. The effort, emotion and talent that they put into this song, makes it haunting and extraordinary.
318. Alec Long: Could you guys take a look at "Street Life" from AZ. Think you might like it
319. Michael Arntzen: Yes. Just.... Yes. More Disturbed, please! :D
320. Sheri M: For me the song is about media and talking heads on tv putting thoughts in our heads and screw us over while we all stay silent. The neon god is tv I think
321. wstuart913: Please do Parkway Drive - "Dark Days"! Heavy ass song with a mazing lyrics!
322. Gary Pereira: This cover holds nothing for me. It just feels corny.
323. An Tran: Now do Nevermore’s superior cover of The Sound of Silence.
324. seen123: The cover is gimmicky. No vulnerability, no nuance. Disturbed drained the power out of it. It’s a cartoon.
325. Austin Agnew: Anything from Metallica’s Kill Em All album, The Four Horseman?
326. Sam Counsell: See you don't get into it and you even say I know people are going to be pissed off then why the f*** do you do it I'm sorry I hope I never see another one of you guys cuz I will not stop and listen you ruin the songs nobody wants to hear your diatribe five times in a song
327. V.F.D. [Vicariously Feeling Demographics]: Motionless in White: Voices
328. Marc Rikmenspoel: You guys already listened to Rush - The Spirit of Radio. Peart adapted part of The Sound of Silence for that song, writing, "The words of the profits were written on the studio walls, and concert halls. They echo with the sound of salesmen."
329. demos113: It's much better without you gobshites talking over it, that's for sure.
330. jose maciel: Yo !!!! Love this cover hella excited for this attempt #22 Alex da kid ft Joseph Angel American funeral
331. Booozie73: You guys should react to system of a down marmalade or metro
332. Zigur Eru: TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). This is a true genre stand-out! Check it out before it's too late!
333. Daryl Dunaway: Down with the sickness, if y'all wanna dig into more Disturbed.
334. Patricia Jeffries: Wow. This song makes me think of the #Metoo movement and the Kavanaugh situation. I grew up with the original version and it never had any specific meaning for me. Back then I grew up in silence, now I hear voices but it doesn't seem that the government cares. Sad.
335. Niece Rudd: Disturbed-down with the sickness! One of my all time favorite rock/metal songs
336. vanessalenorac: Stevie Ray Vaughn Couldn’t stand the weather
337. Chase chadwell: React to war pigs
338. Mr. Rafe: that's definitely NOT one of the greatest covers of all time, is actually one the biggest missinterpretations of a classic song ever made, this version sounds like a fuckin national anthem, that's corny af
339. Nathan Cozart: Seether! Careless whisper!
340. Esad Zukanovic: You should do Matt Mason "E"
341. Neal Simon: Nice reaction vid guys! No problem with you breaking it up
342. Invisible_Kid: DISTURBED - Overburdened C'mon... You disturbed fans Know that this song is awesome!
343. e115x525: So what about Metallica and their 2 disc album of covers?
344. Lady Akros: this song is a fail it's a duet and one sad voice is inadequate.
345. Fred Ryno: This Song speaks of how we of the human race has grown silence through warnings through people singing songs and trying to tell us that through our silence we allowed the small 1% who owns our economic world has come to control us that's when he speaking of 10,000 people maybe more he speaking about all of us as a human race who has allowed our lives to be taken over why are governments through not speaking out against all the laws that they have made to keep us as cattle to keep producing and running their economic Society in which they created
346. Dave R: This song is prophetic for the time it was written. For me it always has seemed to be about technology replacing real communication
347. Cliff Scowen: Though it’s a cool version,for me it’s not a patch on the original.
348. diggler diggy: I wish you guys would have just played the jesus song
349. John Trainor: Bo Burnham "Kayne Rant" Or his country song
350. Timothy Kyser: The silent life - Rivers of Nihil The unknowing - Omnium Gatherum
351. Heartbreaker Relics: Powerful is correct! I think more than anything else it's the juxtapostion of the two versions of the song that hits everyone so strongly. JMO It is also my opinion that it is one of the greatest covers of any song of all time. To me, the lyrics are suggestive of a time when people have lost track of what's really important in life. Really it works out its own meaning in your mind. It's probably different for everyone. Thanks guys.
352. Dennis Cooke: I can't stand this version. And don't go bitching at me because of it. Opinions are objective. And my opinion is this cover sucks. And this doesn't come close to Cash's cover of Hurt.
353. KindredGh0st: Holy shit. Awesome inference!
354. Brian P: Do yourselves a favor and avoid all Disturbed songs. Unless you have insomnia, this band would help.
355. Donna D: This version was GREAT. And I mean, GREAT! Conan live version was better, but I've never heard of this group.. and I think they are just Wonderful. SO Powerful...i can listen to it over and over, and STILL feel the powerfulness... straight to my soul. If I listen to it 10 times in a row... I still feel that feeling in my soul and brings tears to my eyes everytime! I've always loved this song since the 70s. I love Simon & Garfunkel, and this is one of my very favorites of theirs. But as much as I like the Simon & Garfunkel version and always have... I LOVE this version better. I've never given a dislike on a video like this before. Before NOW. The reason is because the guy with the glasses kept stopping the vid. and talking. Making goofy jokes during an emotional, Powerful song. At least, he kept it down during the most powerful parts...but talk about ON MY NERVES. You Ruined the first part of this wonderful song! But you DID do justice by giving a good rating. My "dislike" wasn't because of the song or the singer.....It was because of the constant stopping the vid. during the 1st almost half of it...jokes during a wonderful song, and the yap yap yap of the guy with the glasses.
356. ZahGaming: Daylyt freestyle on flex!!! he spits so hard
357. RYN04221: Do down with the sickness by disturbed!
358. Greatsky: I'm probably alone being the one who prefers the original version of this song. I find this cover to be very pretentious and non-genuine. As for those who claim it to be the greatest cover of all time... You're entitled to that view, but I don't share it. Ryan, George please consider Queensryche - Silent Lucidity - for a future review. Cheers.
359. Bryan: Yo lets see a Run The Jewels reaction. Best rap duo since Outkast! RTJ🔥🔥🔥🔥
360. Jeremy Breland: Keep pushing it. That song will blow them away!
361. Sanskar Wagley: ewwwww Disturbed sucks
362. markeldamgaard: I'd say the hearing without listening is the news. People hear but they don't really get what's really going on. They don't know the truth.
363. Explorer766: The greatest cover of all time??? Snooze fest. And the definitive moment Disturbed has left the building.
364. Soul Strike: I think this song is more about people falling in line like sheep. And it’s that cancerous silence that keeps them down. I don’t think it’s necessarily a division as much as a people who rather than ask why or express their own feelings, they just follow the herd and play their part in someone else’s plan. You might say oppression. Or like how allowing organized religion to dictate the lives of them all. This song makes me think of the Middle East and all the Muslim nations and communist nations are owned and controlled by those in power and the people aren’t able to or are too afraid to speak for themselves or sing their own songs. Maybe I want to say it’s about tyranny and oppression.
365. M: Who cares? It's not like he wrote the song.
366. Erin Weatherly: 100% Howie Mandel!!!!!
367. Wayside Gamefarm: Y’all should sample some other Disturbed songs, maybe Down with the Sickness, to see what their sound is really like also.
368. Christopher Crowder: Disturbed has had something like 5 straight Billboard #1 albums. Probably one of the biggest modern metal bands around. Songs you could react to that were popular are "The Sickness", "Prayer", "Indestructible", and their cover version of "Land of Illusion" (originally done by Genesis). Also, "10,000 Fists" and "Stupify" were other singles they released.
369. Aaron Silver: Listen to more disturbed:: Down with the sickness Indestructible Stupify Into the fire Stricken
370. luke taylor: Audioslave like a stone
371. Adam P: Fantastic cover. I still think John Lennon’s “Imagine” by A Perfect Circle is the best cover ever as it’s a completely different take on the song. How do you suck all the hope and beauty out of that masterpiece? Well, APC did it - and it fucking rules.
372. Mike Felty: Chimaira please!🤘
373. insanzeforlife5150: Shout 2000 would make for a great video dudes!!!
374. Adam Vargas: Five Finger Death Punch Wrong Side of Heaven
375. gareth roberts: Guy on the right your a dick, OK we get it you like the sound of your own voice, Play the song listen to it, then give an opinion. Work on being a pro rather than a dick,. Good luck with that
376. Randy Simpson: Prefer the original big time....and by the way, How about some CLUTCH
377. Will Schramm: Ooooh! If you haven't heard anything by Disturbed, check out Down With the Sickness.
378. 757optim: George, I think you were getting the meaning. This was the Viet Nam era. The nation was torn. Old saying: You had to be there. Another old saying: History repeats. I like watching you guys analyze music upon a first listen. Also, this version was a first listen for me. Pretty cool. Kept waiting for a heavy metal explosion. Interesting interpretation of a S&G classic.
379. William Hampton: Arguably one of the best written songs in musical history. Brilliant prose.
380. Jason Parks: Good shit as always. Again I'll throw out "Keep the Wolves Away - Uncle Lucius"
381. Scotty Thew: Well you would joy the music in the song every would just shut up and listen to it.
382. Edoardo Alves: Disturbed is a metal band, if you hear another song from them you'll understand... I recomend Prayer or Down With The Sickness... This is a really great singer!!!!
383. Rubee Verno: This band is so good and his voice is amazing❤
384. Elizabeth Smith: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
385. Stacey Herald: This cover is garbage.
386. Tiffany Cutshall: We actually used the lyrics as a prompt in the writing group I belong to.
387. The Madness and The MadMan: The best heavy cover of this song is done by Nevermore. I like this one too....just two very different takes on the same killer song.
388. Elijah Hernandez: Yo!!! Y’all should react to Audioslave!!!! Either Like a Stone or Shadow on the Sun. Who’s with me???!?
389. Salemvet: It is a cry for help but also for action. “Silence like the cancer grows” because inaction and silence condones those that are speaking. Think in terms of protests and political upheaval. This was during the Vietnam era and the Civil Rights movement. Inaction and apathy spread and nothing changes. Speak out. Speak up. Neon god is the artifical construct that “everyone” tries to get - wealth, fame, money. It is a fake light, fake god. Great song and super powerful. True poetry.
390. real science: Why all the praise for this......it’s a cover?? If he wrote the song.....different story, but unimpressive all the same!
391. Mac Stenkum: stop reviewing buttrock. What's next Nickelback? Love you guys
392. Simeon Dobrev: Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me, for the 37th time!!
393. Robert Chappell: Audioslave like a stone
394. Perfect Human: Nevermore's version of this song is amazing. Definitely worth a listen for anybody who dug this one.
395. iGoH Summ3rs: Stricken- Disturbed
396. Scott Sales: I have always thought that the Neon God was the T.V.
397. Godsban3: They need some sickness so they can appreciate the range on this song
398. Camille Duff: anyway I just pray for more decent people and to god and Jesus and all the Angels of heaven
399. The Warrior: I think the neon god they made is the celebrity and fame. Pure music is forgotten.
400. pjanderson66: "Heard of it"??? Damn, you just made me feel so old!!! :)
401. Todd Pidgeon: Nevermore - The Sound Of Silence
402. Tyrell Gunter: That's a great cover another powerful remake like that is Bad Wolves "Zombie" you should check it out
403. Tony Lauder: Listen to the original by simon and Garfunkel
404. Zathrus Pridham: The neon god they made was Capitalism
405. rejoy Thomas: Guys please react to sound of silence disturbed ft Myles Kennedy live
406. jeff Preininger: Please listen to this song live on conan o'brian. It is so much better. More feeling
407. G Pleasants: Jimi Hendrix w/Band of Gypsies "Who Knows"
408. mdav30: Mars Volta - Roulette Dares
409. Rev Red Beard: I gave a “dislike” for you Mocking his facial hair choice.
410. Kevin B.: sinnedam Well this is the best song they’ve got so...
411. anthony prato: Finally!!!!
412. Wayne Coleman: "In restless streets i walk alone" people walk around all day looking at their phones ignoring everything around them. "people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening" makes me think of text messages even the "neon god we made" makes me think of digital screens, even more eerie its that the song is presented as a prophecy, but hey that's just one man's opinion and a perfect example of great song writing it can be interpreted many ways across many decades
413. Its DJ: Love that you covered this cover, but I’d love to see y’all hear one of their original songs, one of the beauties of this cover is just how different and unexpected it was compared to their original stuff... I know y’all are Korn fans, Disturbed (especially their first 3 albums) was very much in that same vein like Korn (differences of course but same genre) and Draiman is a great vocalist.... hit Stricken, Down with the Sickness, or Prayer next
414. David Schreiber: Please do "Push it" by Static-X.
415. Cristian: I think it's cool how this song mentions 10000 people in the lyrics and Disturbed actually has an album called 10000 fists, by far one of my favorite albums
416. ese.hombre: The deaf use sign language to communicate. People talking without speaking. People writing songs that people never hear.
417. Janetta McGee: Ya know, I am listening to this at 1 AM and getting creeped out by this version of the song and his menacing looks. Then the Howie Mandell comment just cracked me up and totally rid me of the creepiness. Y'all are so cute.
418. Olivier Boitel: I think they would love that song
419. Tomas Hamberg: Hardly a good cover, Johnny Cash cover of Hurt (original by Nine Inch Nails) is way much better. Even Placebos cover of Running Up That Hill (original by Kate Bush) is much better. Or why not Entombed cover of Night Of The Vampire (by Roky Erickson). Other _great_ covers are made by Ghost B.C., Waiting for the Night (by Depache Mode), Here comes the son (by Beatles), Crucified (by Army of Lovers), I'm a marionette (by Abba) are all great songs that Ghost B.C. has covered.
420. Fluffy McFluffavic Meowski O'Fluffadopolus: 🔥 🔥 WHEREVER I MAY ROAM 🔥 🔥
421. Ray Kennedy: lol It was written in 1964,I believe. Before cell phones. They were talking about TV and the influence it has on the youth of the time. I remember when the song came out. It still has the effect that it did back then, brilliantly redone by Disturbed. Back before 8 track became really popular. For those of you who don't know, 8 track came after records and before cassette tapes.
422. SteelNomad: You guys should check out Metallica's live performance of "Creeping Death" from a 1991 concert in Moscow. It took place shortly after the Soviet Coup attempt and four months before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. There was roughly 1.5 million people in the crowd, of both civilians and soldiers.
423. Robert D'Amico: This cover is so bombastic and dramatic I would expect to hear it in a broadway musical.
424. Curryman: Metallica -Eye Of The Beholder
425. Johanna S: People as a society not communicating with each other. Not being able to express emotion.
426. rj s: I heard this version before and couldn't get into it. It's way too overblown and overproduced. The vocals are quite auto-tuned and overdramatic. IMO, it's just not good.
427. Mehmet Ergin: Certainly a great cover
428. Francisco Berbel: Pleas react to Arch Enemy - Nemesis, live in concert. Is mindblowing
429. Juan Martinez: ANNIHILATOR
430. Stephen Robertson: Check out Bobaflex cover of The Sound of Silence!
431. Carson Grubaugh: Hush Yael FOR SURE!
432. Nuggets, Boi: Hey guys, great reaction once again. I love the discussion you guys are not afraid to engage in. This doesnt touch the orginal for me, but it is a unique and interesting take. Another version of this song that you might like to hear is one where Paul Simon sings it solo. It is angry, nihilistic, and very sobering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzsaE68IfXI
433. Chris Wilcox: *Nude
434. B Dubs: Lol I love how people are always saying Disturbed is so generic and yet I can pick Davids voice out anywhere. Oh well.
435. SoapyPingu: The original was never good. David made this song incredible.
436. Sky Fayette: Hey guys I’ve got one of the best metal songs and breakdown for you to check out. The song is absolutely brutal but the riffs will have you bobbin.. As Blood Runs Black - My fears have become phobias.
437. Justin Towns: Best cover of all time? No not hardly. Hurt by Johnny Cash the cover of a nine inch nails song is definitely better
438. Michael B. Titman: Fabulous commentary. Well done.
439. Max: Come on now cemetery gates
440. armadillotoe: Try Blues Traveller "Run Around."
441. Scrobbles: Greatest cover ever? Lmao. I love Disturbed but they have so many more songs that are better than this.
442. Fallen Ghost: You have 2.1k dislikes :)
443. Todd B.: Basically if you never learned to read musical notes, you could pickup the greatest song of all time and never know because you can not read what is written. Wish I would of paid more attention in music class is what I thought when I first seen and heard this.
444. DucksOnQuack: If your gonna listen to Disturbed you have to listen to Down with the sickness, Stricken, Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructible, Another Way to Die, or The Vengeful One
445. James Lucke: I'd say that one opened the door to new concepts on how to do covers
446. Steven Scoville: Godsmack - 1000HP
447. tf 20: Its About a World with out Music
448. Toss: Gotta be the Alchemy live version.
449. Alain Leon: Iced earth!!! The coming curse!
450. brian carinder: disturbed is in a genre of their own
451. Zman Jace: Personally, not a big fan of this version. Its a bit overwrought and the music is too melodramatic. Please don't misunderstand me, it is a pretty good cover but it doesn't hold a candle to the original for me
452. healthaccountservices hbs.bankofame: The Sound of Silence was created in 1963. The neon God was the beginning of neon lights (gas light signs, such as OPEN, CLOSED, & BEER) in the early 1960's. The song also has to do with WW1, WW2, & the Cold War, as well.
453. Greg Potter: PLEASE DO MORE DISTURBED GUYS! If you will check out more than this cover, but Im so happy that you guys finally did and have been asking for this so long!! Defintely check out their other music! David Draiman is amazing!
454. Alta Graye: Shinedown- 45 Pearl Jam- Jeremy (They are heavy songs but lyrical masterpieces) As a pick me up: fountains of wayne- stacy's mom.
455. Mia Benoit: There's a live performance of this song with Disturbed and Myles Kennedy together, loved it!
456. Yash Raut: +Nacho this cover rules what are you talking about!
457. Kevin Parizek: Ya they do and they're new song doesn't sound a whole lot different then there old stuff. Plus this cover was done for fun and turned out to be a great cover that the band went with it on the CD. Otherwise it wasn't a song they initially were going to put on the album.
458. *Beansie*: I read a really great comment about this rendition earlier.... The Simon & Garfunkle version was a warning. The Disturbed version is the rage that the warning was ignored.
459. wofra67: "people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening" i think the meaning is if you cut out all the useless smalltalk and all the trivial music this world would be very silent.
460. Gustavo Amador: How I started by Isaiah rashad!
461. Jason Husky: it's about the 60's ...telling people to wake up...kinda of a protest song
462. Danzig Norberg: Finally!
463. 1119 KHM: You guys catch on to the feel and the meaning of a song really fast, I'm impressed. Oh yea, this is probably the only cover I like better than the original (and the original was amazing too). Good god. This is what you get when you combine Classical Operatic vocal skills with Metal, Amazing.
464. On Standby: I only know it cause it was in the kids movie trolls 😂😂
465. DEXTER NEWMAN: I know of the reference to Anti War, and liked the Idea of Television being the 'Neon God' but also think it could work with the thought of Advertising changing from "word of Mouth" to Flashing Billboards making claims without any proof or evidence. Flashing repeated slogans that become truths without any need for personal reviews or being backed up with any facts. "no other aspirin works better than Bayer" in no way means Bayer works better than any other aspirin, but we buy Bayer, without speaking to another person or doing any research.
466. Peggy Sullivan: It’s a great song and they know it therefore they felt like covering it .. so what
467. Jimmy C: I do not like this song.i do not know what the message is and its just depressing to me.but they guy can sing for sure
468. Jarrett Long: TINTS BY ANDERSON PAAK. FEAT KENDRICK LAMAR
469. stewy37: hey jay Yes please! Stricken!
470. Richard Fitts: You forgot to stop the video to point out he has earrings. Slippin
471. OMG I'm Drunk: I get protests a bit from this song.
472. joym824: I love this version...
473. My first day on the internet: Sound of social justice by free press of kekistan.. check it out ! Best version of this song
474. Paul Mc1: JUST Discovered you guys! Very fun to witness your fresh views. Might I sugest a classic by Ozzy and Black Sabbath called "Electric Funeral." Lots of spooky guitar that you will Love! #TheGuysWhoStartedItAll
475. Most Deadest Pool of em All.: today a 16 year old told me they don't listen to rock because they are 16 years old.
476. Joe Caulfield: Nothing More - Go To War
477. rayisawesoem: “NAMANA NAMANAMA NAH NAH NAMA” every disturbed song ever.
478. Vishal Panicker: Iron Maiden - The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
479. zeb souza: David Draiman is the frontman for this band. Definitely has one of the more unique voices. I'm glad you guys got to do this review. Can I suggest another by Disturbed... "Warrior" or "10,000 Fists"
480. Stone Carrier: You should watch the video of "Johnny Cash-Hurt"
481. ruoF owT: I disagree that its the best cover ever, that would have to go to Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
482. Peanut Rambles: I think this is that song left up to listener interuptation. According to the always accurate internet,😁, Paul Simmon wrote this at 21 years old. After being asked how a 21 year old would, I guess, have the experience to know what he was even writing, he just said I dont know. Apparently he would cut the lights in his bathroom and play his guitar, hence, hello darkness my old friend... however, it does go on to say that it was a song about people unable to communicate. Not internationally but love. So yeah, I think your summary of this song is more detail than the writers, lol. Definitely a haunting song. Seems like it fits right in to our present time. Like all the voices cancel each other out til it just noise (or silence) bc no ones actually hearing anyone else. So what are we really learning from each other? I'm not political but this could get a way with being what I learned as a demonstrative song like in the 60s with "War". But more subtle. Great song though!:)
483. Zebulon Swearingen: Oh yeah, also... John Lennon: “Imagine”. You may do the Perfect Circle cover too but please do that one afterward. Somebody else besides me already commented that you may do an entire series of originals & covers. Good idea.
484. chris adams: Days of the new- touch peel and stand. Great heavy acoustic 90s rock. Awsome instrumentation
485. I-BLANDON-I: I love me some disturbed but their music stays the same every album feels like a sequel.
486. weasle min: To further explain why this is impressive look up down with the sickness
487. Dawson Ruth: Black Dahlia-Hollywood Undead
488. semiserioussam: They are hated because they are still associated with Nu-Metal trash, and they are objectively boring and uninspired. Only Americans into mainstream rock music are super into Disturbed.
489. 04beni04: Part of the reason a lot of people (myself included) find this version so powerful is that it's brilliantly done, but it also underscores really (really) well just how much of what the S&G version prophecied came true (or tru*er*). It sort of magnifies the effect.
490. MegaSickcat: As an AVID lover of good music, I usually like original version better than any remake...but I have to admit in this, this version just brings the words to a whole other level! And to whoever said that 'Simon and Garfunkel's version was a warning...and Distrubed's version is rage because the warning was ignored' NAILED the meaning behind this song....This version is chilling...his voice is somewhere between an angel and a devil (if there is such a thing lol)..I like this version enough to actually spend money on iTunes to own it...something I hardly ever do.
491. Compendyum: Best cover ever? It's not even the best cover of this song, let alone the rest of the trillion covers out there.
492. Hector René Segovia: RECOMMENDATION: Not by any fault of your own, but I'm seeing many missed opportunities here that can be remedied. 1) I understand you guys look into what makes a great song (as a whole), but there are contexts that contribute to the meaning and impact of a song as well. Structuralism is a form of Literary Theory that examines the world events, political climate, living conditions, and even mental state of the author of the works. I've seen you guys try to do this... but perhaps a solution (explained later) should allow for a better examination of the work. (For example, Phillip K. Dick's works are better appreciated when you realize he firmly believed much of his work as a paranoid schizophrenic). 2) I understand you guys must pause and explain what you are feeling and seeing as you react to the song - it's important that you do, and that's the charm of the channel. But many times a song must be heard in silence as a whole to be appreciated as well. To better resolve this, perhaps add a "Review" section to the "Reaction" videos where - at the end - you pause the recording. Do some research on the song and see what other people's interpretations and extrapolations may be (instead of having to wait for the comments, you can find commentary that has already been made). Then give the song a silent review in it's entirety to "confirm" or "retract" your previous thoughts about the work for a more "complete" closing. Sam's assessment below - for example - would have been great information to have and hear your assessment on it. I mean, I don't believe that reading other people's assessments are counterproductive or contradictory to free-thinking. You are still free to disagree with the information you find, but it would by nice to hear your thoughts about the piece after hearing it uninterrupted and in its full context.
493. Joe Kelly: Neon God should represent the nuclear flash in the sky
494. Ian The Geek: C.J. Peri-Peri ok little millennial. It’ll be alright.
495. Kal Zos: They should check out Communion of the Cursed by Ice Nine Kills. Their new Album The Silver Scream dropped today
496. Thomas M: You all should do The Vengeful One or The Light by Disturbed.  Another great one by Disturbed is Down with the sickness!
497. Palmetto Prepared: Personally, im a fan of his "Hell broke Luce" tribute.
498. Richard Bexborn: Please understand. There are two versions of the original. You ahould listen to the guitar based heavy one.
499. The Skating Turtle: Please do Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage with the music video!
500. Matt Matonek: Love Buckethead one of my favorite guitarist and solo artist
501. johnathan hernandez: Tool - Parabola full video, Avenged Sevenfold Little Piece of Heaven Video
502. Thomas Gannon: I'm so fucking pumped you did this guys! Do The Bleeding by Five Finger Death Punch soon please!
503. Whiskeys Demon: Best cover ever? Hahaha. This isn't Johnny Cash Hurt. Or Anthrax Pipeline. Or Metallica Am I Evil. Or Cradle of Filth Hallowed Be Thy Name
504. LilRedDog: OFFS!!! 3:57 in and you have never listened to the lyrics before??!? The song is about not participating in democracy. The willful ignorance. How easily people are easily distracted. A lot like you two acting like you don't get it.
505. Brian Seymour: ziad rishmany YES or Jambi
506. EGC. BH: Yngwie Malmsteen- Seventh Sign
507. Jonathan Bigelow: I love this cover. You guys need to do a reaction to Chris Cornell's cover of Nothing Compares 2 U.
508. dcarota: The autotune on this song has always been really distraction for me to ever get into this cover.
509. rhonda hester: This song was written by Paul Simon during the chaos of the Vietnam war and the race riots of the 1960’s in the US. John f Kennedy, Robert f Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assasinated. The song is a warning of what will come if we don’t change our ways and learn from our past mistakes. It is a vision of a dystopian future.
510. condutchak: Inside the Fire by Disturbed. Song that made me start listening to music in the first place
511. smilanovich07: You should listen to Disturbed- Stupify and - Down with the Sickness. Great covers- Metallica- Turn the Page, Seether- Careless Whisper, Five Finger Death Punch- Bad Company. Love yall! #freethinkers
512. Zigur Eru: +Mike Calvert Keep it coming! I request it every single video! Something that should be heard for the good of the public!
513. JWP 1964: Gary Allan - It Ain’t the Whiskey
514. Sherry B: Reactions like this are the reason I subscribed--thank you!
515. Aaron Todd: Knowing disturbed vocally he sounds great
516. Dustin Mueller: Love that autotune. Nothing like a singer butchering another group's song.
517. William Garner: Man David draiman killed this as a vocalist is it what I want to see from disturbed no not really but he covered it really well
518. leo: Massive overated.
519. Charles Vasseur: There's a lot worthy of reaction to by Savatage. Lyrically, once Jon partnered with Paul the songs became incredible. "Believe" is still one of the most beautiful songs written, in my opinion. This one is a classic as well!
520. Matt Price: Don't forget Spoonmom
521. chardos: You finally got to sound of silence! Now you just gotta listen to Hexes by Tesseract!
522. Matt M: If memory serves me correct, it was in the movie The Graduate.
523. Lee Kosak: Bobaflex does a great cover of this
524. Cody Campbell: And, btw, Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is THE BEST COVER.
525. Wayne Jones: Do an upchurch review
526. Randolph Hoganzer: Talking about looking like Howie Mandel? Isn't the guy on the left Hootie?
527. Pamela Coulter: Love you guys but the pauses were super inappropriate. Especially in the beginning with the nonsense. Not the kind of song you do that with. And then again in the middle of the song was so the absolute wrong time to pause and talk about the lyrics. You did seem to get the meaning of the lyrics pretty well. This is a super powerful song and you kind of trivialized it so I'm gonna have to call this one a miss. You didn't get it. But still love ya.
528. imjusttoogood: Tremonti - A Dying Machine
529. billy sturgeon: Even though this song was written in 1963, think about the lyrics and how people are with their cell phones. It's scary how much I relates to the song.
530. Voldrani: What's amazing is that the original was written over 40 years ago but the lyrics are just as appropriate today. Maybe even more so.
531. chrisbrown667: Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
532. James Shields: Amazing that this song has 1.7 Thousand thumbs down. SMH..This song is greatness!
533. Dylan Harrington: Yes
534. ged glass: bolt thrower bolt thrower bolt thrower, rebirth of humanity (please)
535. FateMediaNet: Greatest cover of all time? HAHAHA XD
536. The Lonewolf: React to time by pink floyd
537. S Kirk: Come on guys...this is a serious song.
538. Dakota Little: You’ve got to listen to Keith Whitley don’t close your eyes. Or Gary Stewart empty glass!
539. Mathew Cameron: Do a live Tool video. Tool Parabola live at the Gorge 2017 is unfuckingbelivable!!!
540. Tim None: Simon, the writer of the song said there's no real deep meaning behind this, it's about how he would go into a dark bathroom to write music
541. Michael Whitted: Disturbed-Either Stupify or Down With the Sickness.
542. Michael James: Can’t get the full effect of the music when ur stopping the video every 10 seconds
543. LikeWoahh: I agree with quad clops, please react to Audioslave- Like a Stone!
544. Daniel Harrison: Rob Jarrett I miss the harmonizing of the original. I prefer the Shaw Blades cover over this one.
545. Sir0mosh0Alot: The song makes me think of, all the people in the world so focused on technology that they forget to interact with one another. Everyone liking and sharing and tweeting without ever actually having a real moment with a person anymore... has a generation of emotional handicaps, wandering through the world unable to deal with life constructively ... Learning guitar and playing music was a major outlet for me when I was young & had issues that were bigger than I knew how to handle. The symbolism of them going to the masses with instruments, giving them music, is a conduit for them to get their message out ...love the song
546. Alvaro Aguilar: Or Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower. Probably the greatest cover of all time
547. Call Of Caymen: Pantera medicine man
548. Tiara Brown: You basically interpreted it the same way I do. Obviously cell phones were not a thing when this song was originally written, but I can't help but think of people walking around, heads down looking at a phone, and not really communicating with others around them (especially when they talk about the "neon god"). I know that can't be the real interpretation, but it's how I like to think of it.
549. Sweez: Disturbed - STRICKEN
550. Amber Yocom: Am i missing something.... This says uploaded now in my notifications but comments say a month ago... Anyways so excited to see yalls reaction to this song. Its haunting and beautiful.
551. Obey2388: Please do! DEFTONES: DIAMOND EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
552. Diana Stojkovic: This is the most calm Disturbed song I've ever heard. Not the best representation of their music.. At least 90% of it
553. Wardo Melena: React to some joy division
554. David Madden: I agree
555. mike stone: Stopping the song at that moment to comment on howie mandel and laughing about it shows poor taste.
556. MichelleFC72: The original version was beautiful but so filled with sorrow I've thought for over 20 years that a harder version should be made. Hearing Disturbed's version was like having my thoughts brought to voice. This version gives an outlet to the anger and frustration rather than just the sorrow that those who are forced to endure in silence feel. Either version tears at my heart but Disturbed's really speaks to me personally. Thanks for the reaction guys. Keep it up.
557. Adrian Humphries: Karnivool cote you'll freaking love it my dudes
558. young mommy02 NC pony 37: He does kinda look like howie hahaha but this is a beautiful version.
559. Ivan Alvarado: Metallica whiplash please old grungy song
560. Jørn Haugen: SCORPIONS HOUR 1
561. RighteousNicky: hear more of classic disturbed they are one of the titans among metal like metallica that you should def listen to, Stricken first song
562. Rup Tratin: This one is horribly overrated
563. Theresa Keith: This doesn't beat Simon and Garfunkel.
564. Janet Stafford: What a effing a@@hole stopping such a dramatic song to make a joke and then making more. I have watched and subscribed to you and I just unsubscribed. Adios a@@holes. This is supposed to be a reaction to the music isn't it? You should be having the discussion after and not during. Some songs are not a build up and these jokes and stop and start and comments during this type ruined this song. Not all songs are equal and the tempo of this song should have told you to stfu. This guy is classically taught. If you have the lyrics you should be able to decipher the meaning. smh
565. lunicydal22: Tool -No Quarter. Hands down one the best covers IMO.
566. Ruthanna Tepp: Disturbed took a good song and turned it into a piece of art! Beautifully performed with passion and feeling! Absolutely love this version!!
567. alex day: Black piece of shit You are ignorant and please show that not all of you are idiots please
568. Edward Loves crypto: Pls gentleman do more Alice In Chains ... rotten apple, God am, nutshell pls
569. Lewis Morales: I'm not a fan of this cover, it doesn't do anything interesting with the song, in fact I think it's a really rudimentary, if not lazy, cover. Check out the Nevermore cover of this song, it's far more interesting. Full disclosure, I cant stand Disturbed. And I think they're unqualified to be considered metal. Lame hard rock is more apt.
570. Jason Hosford: Disturbed - Sacrifice
571. Kristian Bodbacka: nion god is chrianaty. je is the dewil. hail odin
572. Bill & Zuleika Marallo: Kamelot-- The Black Halo
573. Danny P KNT/33/HB: He's got that voice...
574. ApocalypseVastoare: Adam Vargas they reacted to this video already! You should check it out🤙🏽
575. John Strika: At least one person actually did research. 👍
576. SEASONOF THEWITCH: I'm not impressed by this song. It's unnatural and put on... You're commentary is always insiteful, however.
577. Cerise Wilson: Would love you guys reacting to The Gin Blossoms, maybe Hey Jealousy or Found Out About You. Please please please!
578. Rob Scott: How eerie is it that Simon & Garfunkel were able to see this coming... "The people bowed and prayed to the Neon God they made..." Our heads and eyes on fixated on our phones, tuning everything else out. My interpretation, anyway.
579. Adalwulf: Some really cool Powermetal bands and songs to react to. Lost Horizon - Highlander (the One) or Sworn in the metal wind. Powerwolf - Night of the werewolves. Gloryhammer - The Unicorn invasion of Dundee. Other cool shit: Sonata Arctica - The Cage, Skid Row - 18 and Life, Manowar - Fighting the world, Black Country Communion - Black Country, Danko Jones - Had Enough. Rock on!
580. jonathan woolworth: Disturbed, fear
581. Colleen Kooser: Peep Down with the sickness. It's probably Disturbeds biggest song.
582. Andreas Holzer: Go and check out Solstafir - Fjara. I promise you will not be disapointend,
583. Shape Shifter: Well, I understand what you're saying. But judging from their videos, they'll either listen to crappy new In Flames and won't be impressed or old In Flames and it'll be too much for them. So, maybe they should stay away from In Flames for now.
584. Jason Hatherlee m1ghtysauc3: Oh god...
585. Lone Wolf: House of the rising sun by The Animals
586. Dj May: This song about smartphones?
587. Igor Pantelic: Gojira-Vacuity/Gift of Guilt/Oroborus
588. Herp Derp: blakloyd the live version has more auto tune than the studio version if you listen closely
589. Chris Landrum: Disturbed: prayer
590. filippolo7: Thumb down
591. Mat Brewer: MAC MILLER PERFECT CIRCLE GOD SPEED
592. Jetski: They gotta do this one !!!
593. Michael Stuart: Ten thousand fists by disturbed
594. chris hall: Please do korn black is the soul or rotting in vein
595. Christopher Morris: Cult of Personality by Living Colour, Bother by Stone Sour, You Got Another Thing Comin' by Judas Priest, and Desperate Man by Eric Church should definitely be considered.
596. radekbonk: people hearing without listening are people who keep hitting pause, chopping up a song that wanted to be heard in its entirety.
597. Cortland Wheeler: Rittz "Top of the line" full album Rittz songs: "Crash and Burn" or "Amen"
598. One Man Electrical Band: I wasn't a fan of this. The harmonies are such an important part of this song.
599. Infinite Fantasy: I’m just more surprised people still listen to Disturbed.
600. FimmelFanatic: Christian Kane - The House Rules or Rattlesnake Smile
601. Chris Putnam: This is an awful cover. This is absolute trash from a mediocre band.
602. sndvls: Yes something live
603. Mike Newton: This song when done by Simon and Garfunkel is a masterpiece . I like Disturbed, you’d think I’d like the to together but no. Please actually listen to a good Disturbed song guys. This was trash.
604. Chris Jhum: You guys are awesome!!!
605. GrizzleyBear: Honestly not a fan of Disturbed. But this is pretty well done. David has a pretty good raspy range. Great cover IMO
606. Per Svensson: Between the buried and me - Extremophile elite (live basement video) | prog metal
607. Evan Hill: What if they are talking about musical artists when it says the neon god line.
608. Doris G. mc: a Masterpiece💥💥👍👍🤘😗437 Mio. views.....😛
609. MrTech226: Speaking of Simon & Garfunkel, Paul Simon who written their version sent an email to David Draiman stating that he loved Disturbed's cover.
610. wrangler Dave: It's a anti war song from the Vietnam era
611. Zack Bridgeman: Yes!! Or "Gone With the Wind" been asking for months now. Haha
612. Robert Diakiw: In my opinion the live version on Conan O'Brian is much better. Check it out.
613. Mani Raptora: Bad Wolves cover of Zombie
614. Robert Brennan: Do more DragonForce
615. Poro Puri: it baffles me what passes as "the best cover of all time" for some people, I don't really like Disturbed, I think they are pretty mediocre, but even they have a less unenjoyable cover, Land of Confusion, wich is also a below average cover. and talking about Land of Confusion, try some Genesis - The Return Of The Giant Hogweed
616. Duffalias: This is his best song cause is a cover. Disturbed is really awful
617. kevinnelson9588: Do one for Run To The Hills-Iron Maiden.
618. tlopes: Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell
619. Richie Fairlamb: It's a song about depression....The hopelessness...
620. Tiffany Cutshall: Yes! The division on people in general!
621. Robert Pautsch: Nicholas Pumphrey already done
622. Marc Arsenault: This isn't too bad, but Disturbed has done some better covers. Queensryche's cover of Scarborough Fair is better that this, if staying in the S&G vein.
623. Bradley Burton: Not bad. The original is much better though.
624. Scott Carter: Do Clutch. It will be worth your time and you will enjoy the band.
625. David Gentry: I like your approach to understanding the lyrics, let me expand on this (mind you, I'm no expert) I think "Sound of Silience" is an analogy for a world without love.
626. Andrew Winick: Please check out some Disturbed originals. Try The Light Another Way to Die Are You Ready or Who Taught You How To Hate. They really are a great band.
627. Mike McGinnis: Disturbed - Stricken
628. Christina McGill: Parkway Drive, wishing wells!
629. Evan Garrett: I think y'all would really like Ballad of Curtis Loew by Lynyrd Skynyrd!
630. Brandon Richard: Rock the rebel / The devil's Yell would be a great choice.
631. Gleb Mikhalev: His range isn't anything special actually, however, the rest of your assessment is correct.
632. Roberto: Megadeth - wake up dead
633. Dustin Wheeler: Another suggestion for a great cover, is bad wolf- Zombies.
634. Joni Johnson: I really like this version as much as the original. Great presentation!
635. mssrus: He sings with beauty, then near-moroseness, then urgency, then resolution. He brought the meaning of the lyrics into the hearts of every listener, bringing gasps, eliciting tears, and opening eyes. The visual renderings have an eeriness about them, morphing into hope. I love the transitions from one level to the next. Masterful work!
636. YuckyPickles: You guys suck on this one review. STFU and listen!
637. dikfro 5000: He sounds like he's singing with a mouthful of peanut butter.
638. Nat Julian Belza: Glass Prison by Dream Theater please!
639. brkntires: This video would have been better if they had listened to these prior.
640. solorgana: Lookin' for U2 or The Cure, Depeche Mode, and how about some Gregory Alan Isakov???
641. klinger420: You guys need to get some static x on this channel...such a great, unique band. Let's get Static-X Push it
642. Paul Collins: Next best cover... Brass Against the Machine covers "The Pot" by Tool
643. Digi - Double: I hate you both for stopping the video so gosh dam much
644. Amy King: Guys, it just cant compare to the original in my opinion. The dynamics are extremely wakened, causing some of the deeper meaning to be lost in transference. I'd like to ask you guys to PLEASE REVIEW Danzig "How The God's Kill." I know y'all love badass guitar riffs, so it's a matter of time. You'd be doing yourselves a great favor. I love you guys!!
645. David Miller: The original has been one of my favorites for decades, and this cover is powerful and even reverential. Glad you enjoyed it...and it sparked discussion. I've always felt that it was something of a lament for a society that doesn't listen to each other anymore, caught up in their own lives.
646. Vivek Yadav: I've been requesting this for a long time
647. Rebecca Williams: Please do "Zombie" cover by Bad Wolves. SOOOOO good!! Plus the back story is amazing!! I've been pushing this song for a long time on twitter, insta, and here. Please! You guys won't regret it!!
648. Jon Stobbs: 10,000 fists, decadence, down with the sickness. You guys need to check out some of their earlier stuff.
649. HipHopAtHeartTilInfinity: I know y'all got a lot to do but when you get time check out: Rhyme Asylum - Poison Penmanship The Four Owls - Think Twice Mouse Outfit - Cut Em Loose (Ft. Berry Blacc, KinKai & Layfullstop) Peace and Love!
650. Skylar Green: Stevie Ray Vaughn “Life by the Drop”
651. Will Jennings: This is me by keala settle the greatest showman soundtrack
652. robin singh: When are you going to do be'lakor for fuck's sake?
653. wvusmc: +moffe2k did you see the members of Machine Head are leaving the band after their current tour?
654. AK V: Judge me all you want. I mean this is a good cover.. But I do think Simon and Garfunkel is different and mellow. I like that one better personally
655. Provident Photography: The Heartless Hero 2077 well it was written in 1964
656. James Conley: I think he looks just like Howie
657. Eddie Majors: Me again, still gotta say do the Butcher Babies
658. FromVtotheD: Do more disturbed!!!
659. Bonzoso21: I heard Bad Religion by Godsmack again the other day and actually broke out laughing at how bad it is in every way.
660. SoonerNCO: This is probably one of the most overrated covers ever. I feel bad that you guys had to sit through this in it's entirety.
661. Metal Enthusiast: Technology does have its way of disconnecting people from each other: social media sites, etc. Have a way of allowing people to live fake lives and be different, which can cause disconnect between people who actually know them. Or technology can make people to invested in the current state of the world and media and politics and they forget themselves. But I think what the song is actually saying is emotional connection. Or maybe even depression. Because, he says he feels that no one is on his level, maybe he experienced a loss in his life and no one is sympathetic to that. Great cover song by Disturbed guys. Disturbed is just one of those nu metal bands that sort of veered more towards alternative metal in the later years. Then again you could argue that they were even different from the rest of nu metal bands that came out because the lead singer David drainman was influenced by reagae music not much rap. Other songs by them: Stricken Voices Indestructible You should check out the modern rock group Pop Evil and check out that song Deal With The Devil. They are one of the best modern rock groups to date. Please do a reaction to them.
662. Guilherme Omlo: Hot for teacher - Van Halen
663. Nick Kongos: this song helped me get through a really dark period of my life. It allowed me to see what i had become and how i needed to change. For me, it's the greatest cover song of all time and has changed my life
664. Skillett75: to bettter understand the song which is powerful now set it to the times in which it was made The civil rights movement and the peace movement
665. Deadly Dongslap: The original is from the movie The Graduate. Great film!!
666. Alan Foster: Morons who think they have some miniscule talent. Sad.
667. Baltzeg: Disturbed are just a painfully boring, average band.
668. Hugo muñoz gris: Love your videos guys <3 It would be cool to watch you react to some Protest the Hero. Blindfolds Aside is an awesome song ;D
669. Carlos Reyes: Betrayer - Trivium
670. Dragon Tamer: this was originally made about the Vietnam war. Neon god would refer to the military complex and the central government.
671. theMike97_: lmao he does kinda look like howie mandel
672. T C: Ffdp-gone away is a great cover
673. Tor Ivar Sæternes: Dont break of the Song to tell your interpotatim of the song
674. Jeana Harris: It’s supposed to be powerful
675. Scratch Dragon: You two are a joke. Watch the video again without stopping it
676. Michael Harrell: try Disturbed - "down with the sickness"
677. freekmccoy1: Can you do a REACTION to the band Symphony X ..The Odyssey https://youtu.be/MaN3pwBsRf8
678. Josue Villanueva: This is the same as Seether's cover of Careless Whisper. lol
679. Niel Tulensa: Please react to the Conan version! His voice is amazing
680. gypsy rose: So you should take your own advice and LISTEN before you interrupt and jabber. UGH.
681. Kevin Warburton: disturbed's one of my favourites.
682. Damen Mcdermott: The Funeral - Band of Horses
683. Cody Gill: This is a good cover song but it’s not even the best cover song by Disturbed, Land of confusion is. The best cover song ever is Hurt by Johnny Cash.
684. Jesse Turcotte: A little piece of heaven-Avenged Sevenfold The grudge-Tool
685. Blair Norton: For the love of God from G3 with the guitar pre song solo!!
686. ArkerTheGreat: At first I thought ya'll wouldn't take it seriously or try to really get it but the commentary was well paced and for the first time listening, INCREDIBLY intelligent and accurate. Just subbed. Proud to be here fam lol
687. Ray Sechrengost: Foo Fighters - Baker Street Cover
688. Aussie Bogan: Sleepwalker by parkway drive with the filmclip.. good aussie metal band boys 👌🤘🤙
689. MOONSHADOW 1918: Its about a nuclear war notice everything destroyed drum in a burnt tree. Neon God is the Nuclear bomb man created. 10000 people come together . I think also as i mentioned before people in heaven communicate with feelings not words . Because as Gods people we are 1 no matter what part of the world you are from.
690. Tijuana: Metal band covers 60s song at the tempo of Silent Night. Ok then. You do you, Disturbed.
691. Dustin Hahn: Oh man, that was bad! Give me simon and Garfunkel any day. Would love to see some Pig Destroyer. The new album is a bit more accessible and the song “Circle River” rips!
692. tlopes: Outstanding choice. Come on Ryan & George. Some MEATLOAF!!!
693. Dave Bentley: I am 65 years old. I have seen how you all pray to your glow from your new hand held wonders. learn to communicate with your children or the human element will vanish. Take notice of the machine like violence our young are showing without remorse. They are rejecting their families, schools, and churches. We need to get "Reactionary" with our kids by putting the love back into their lives through face to face communication... Or we will end up with a bunch of non emotional "cyborgs". Enough of that... Good job guys, I love all of the music and your opinions.
694. Josh Orr-Fahey: Two for one special on tired and worn out YouTube cliches? I get, not one, but *two* black guys reacting to other people's content, which is ironically passed off itself as content? I'm sold! I mean, how else a brother gonna get some of that sweet YouTube ad revenue if he don't have any discernible talents, am I right?
695. Longmorn16: Remember this was written at the beginning of the Cold War
696. Alexander Watson: You guys did a good job understanding this songs. I love the original and this version just the same. To me songs in any description describe the majority and the non majority. We have to see both. Look at everything
697. dbbatel: Thanks to you two and this channel I went to my first country concert last night: Chris Stapleton! It was great!! For the past four years it's been metal and rock shows straight. Now I know it's worth it to branch out a little bit and learn to appreciate live music from other genres. I would have never given Stapleton a second listen if I hadn't heard your breakdown of his ''Tennessee Whiskey'' and hearing it in person was a highlight of the night. Cheers!
698. Sorley Mackay: This version is just so over the top. Honestly just a fucking terrible interpretation of a great song, I'm all for reinventing and putting a spin on stuff but to totally disregard the key elements of the original has just ended up in a big fucking pile of trash
699. Ultimate Warrior: we are living in some fucking seriously dark times in society when the general population thinks this is anywhere close good. i am so lost in life from everything that happens around me. i dont know what to believe, whats even true anymore. this song is SHIT. its not my opinion. it should be a fact. i honestly get choked up about things like this help its ok u guys dont say its a bad song i know u guys know.
700. Monique M: This feels like the older, angry, cynical big brother to the original.
701. Adrián Hernández: Therion - Venus Illegitima
702. convoy 13: Should check out some breaking benjamin. Maybe Breath or dance with the devil.....plenty of great songs otherwise.
703. boredtothemaximum: I’VE BEEN HOPING YOU’D REACT TO THIS 😱
704. karend169: I think the neon God, is the like golden calf made by the Israelites, when Moses went to Mount Sinai.
705. Mike Biggums: High On Fire - Snakes For The Divine
706. Randy O'Connor: I thought Neon God was Society or life outside of what he longed for... not necessarily Technology but a divided Culture lost.
707. Traxxattaxx: Can you guys react to The Misfits -Saturday Night? It’s a good song since we’re nearing Halloween. Love the videos as always!
708. louofm1: Yes, Volbeat dead but rising, doc holiday, or hangman's bodycount
709. jatak enigma: Neon god-EDM OR DJ what u call... I love the song sound of silence after hearing disturbed version... Ma dad played the original when I was in high school.. But I didn't like it... Idk maybe because their voices are far to be loved...
710. Ty Bladek: Best reaction video I have ever watched. I am a fan.
711. Joe Caballero: Suggestion reaction to Joyner Lucas sorry
712. Moontanman: You missed what I think is the at least one of the most important lines. "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls" This is powerful, the writings of the real people are important and this song was way before it's time in realising that. This version drives the point home even more profoundly...
713. Jar Hiker: STFU & listen then make your jokes imo
714. Matt Carter: just a few suggestions disturbed- Stupify traitors- Nu hate wage war- stitch
715. E Rock: I'm trying to stick with these guys reactuons, but Ryan must be in a dark place lately cause he has been unbearable lately on white folk music...
716. Laurie de los Reyes: Try watching them cover this song live....the song has lived on because it's open to interpretation. I liked yours. The song is amazing but--this cover gave me chills.
717. DAVID DEITRICK: Quit stopping song in good parts. Ruined song
718. Adrian Danby: Fuckin annoying brats...keep stopping it,play it straight thru,then comment
719. William Mueller: The song spoke to its time in the 60's but was also well ahead of it's time. Like a prophecy. The neon god was television. But has now become (anti)social media.
720. Stacy Schauls: Disturbed is by far my favorite band <3 do more of them!
721. hafadude69: You finally do disturbed and you do a slow one. Don't get me wrong its a good remake, but they have many other originals that are really good. And he looks like the Mr. Clean guy.
722. PunisherBatmanFan: Why react to a Disturbed cover song? You guys need to do Down With the Sickness or Stupify. Disappointed this is the Disturbed song you guys picked to review.
723. DragonsKindler: I dont ever hear ppl recommend dropping plates but it would be interesting for them to react/review Disturbed's "rapping"
724. Justin Henry: Do Aesop Rock- None Shall Pass
725. John Bachmann: Good request
726. Mallori Davis: Should of done the live version on Conan
727. Joel Collinson: Five finger death punch House of the rising sun
728. Hyperion1977: Simon Garfunkel wrote this song when he was 21 years old, written in his bathroom. He stated that he liked to play the guitar in the bathroom, with the lights out, and the water running. He said it took him 3 months to write this song, with it being finished on February 19, 1964. Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other." In a more recent interview, Simon was directly asked, "How is a 21-year-old person thinkin' about the words in that song?" His reply was, "I have no idea."
729. BoojumFed: Disturbed - Stupify
730. Aredobleyou M: Try Belphegor: Devour this Sanctity!
731. freakshopusa: +Tartuffe the Spry Wonder Dog it looks like the video was removed by request of UMG https://youtu.be/_GjXVFlYlLA
732. Kelly Foster: Paul Simon and cool hand Luke are trying to tell u in this song what we have here is a failure to communicate
733. Rusty Shackleford: One more thing. Please do Bo Burnham “Kanye Rant (can’t handle this)”. It’s amazing and no serious reaction channel has reacted to it. You guys are trend setters of the YouTube reaction world and I want to see everyone react to it!
734. John Zimmerman: Next up – A Perfect Circle's cover of Imagine
735. PhoenixRise25: its about sadness/depression of society's lack of comunication...(that's my take on it)
736. Calvin Howard: Neon gods is a metaphor of the bright lights in a city guys
737. Sood the Unknown Musician: Disturbed released a version featuring Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge). Go check it out it is awesome!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3By4DZyTNM
738. Norsemen Danes: I liked the video only because of the howy reference lol
739. Zach Clark: If you havent listened to Disturbed before this then you should do Down With the Sickness or Stricken as a sort of reference point.
740. Greavor00: Oh hell no. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7RVw3I8eg That's the version you want. The video doesn't do it justice. I try to actually not watch music videos because I don't want to be influenced by some director. Take away what the song means to you, not what and how someone else want's you to interpret .
741. BulheddEd: Or Five Finger Death Punch's House of The Rising Sun.
742. hatred is power: because you dont understand the feelings or emotional adeptness to truely experience music in the ways they were meant to be and u cant feel true expression in musical form
743. Elijah Roberge: Can you do "Paradise lost by Hollywood Undead"
744. G Pleasants: Not a fan of his vocal approach to this classic. Sorry.
745. Rygirl Urso: Yes!!
746. J T: BREAKING BENJAMIN - RED COLD RIVER!!!!
747. Jordan Tso: Cattle Decapitation - kingdom of tyrants
748. George KAISER: Wouter Dana White with Eddie Alvarez mixed in.
749. Bobby Rundle: I know I'm way late to the party, but Simon and Garfunkel wrote this in the mid 60's about the rise of television dividing society and entrapping people into cocoons of silence, ergo not communicating with each other anymore. Yes, the "neon God" is technology
750. Ryder Knightly: this is one of those videos you dont get the full force if you constantly stop and start. everything you said couldve been said at the end. try it sometime
751. ZealotSE: All of you guy and ladies must check out Chimaira - Nothing Remains.
752. Mariotron 8: Alice In Chains again please
753. Janderson Dias: Red Fang - Wires
754. vinicius stankowitsch: Rage against the machine - Bulls on Parade !!!
755. Kenny Haynes: Please do more Disturbed.
756. Blode Kont: Simon and Garfunkel wrote this song after the assassination of JFK and how media and people reacted.....
757. Thrungey: Have you considered listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan? He was rather special.
758. Alan Simmons: Great reaction you guys! I've been waiting to see this for a while now. However, still going to try for Battlecross - Push Pull Destroy!
759. gnarkilleptic: I don't get why this song is so popular. It's a mediocre cover at best. Disturbed has many original songs that are better. I feel like I've been waiting months for you guys to do another great metal song!!
760. Zach Carter: It’s pretentious and dishonest to sing so “passionately” about words that aren’t yours. I know there are exceptions but this melodramatic fakery isn’t it
761. Rasmus Peter Mathiesen: Take a listen to some more Disturbed. Ten Thousand Fists in the air, The Sickness, Prayer, just to name a few.
762. Robert Collinsworth: You missed the message by stopping the music and talking. You didn't let the music into your soul. You need more silence.
763. brodemonz: I'm getting really great song writing.
764. mormacil: Amorphis - The Bee or Beast in Black - Blind And Frozen
765. David Burrell: Architects - Gone with the Wind August Burns Red - Hero of Half Truth Oh, Sleeper - Hush Yael
766. Kathy Lutz: You guys should listen to Down With the Sickness from these guys! It will give you a much better feel for who they are as a band!
767. Childish Mandingo: Please do Domination by Pantera next!!
768. Electric Vodou: Hendrix's cover of Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" is THE cover.
769. E Kramer2: Never pointless to explore more Metallica, but there are so many bands.
770. Old Man Neal: I too believe it was partly about anti-vietnam war movement. But the 60's was a big time movement with the hippie movement. Someone mentioned about TV taking over. I think it was division between the love movement (make love not war) and the government. Peoples voices were not being heard. However, Paul Simon probably was just writing lyrics that were opposite of each other.. talking without listening...words like silent raindrops fell etc. Very classic Paul Simon. He also takes bits of songs from others and makes them his own such as El Condor Pasa (Peruvian song). I think Disturbed really took this song home with his deep dark and raspy voice and then the clean ending. But I think the reviewers shouldn't have dug into the lyrics so much since it was a cover not a song written by disturbed. Love both versions.
771. Brandie Baker: Their live performance of this song on Conan was amazing
772. Charles Stewart: Blue october : Been down
773. Nicholas Trahan: I “liked” for the Howie Mandel and soul patch comments alone haha
774. Tony Moll: Awesome reaction guys!!
775. Uncle Stepback: All Along the WatchTower by Jimi Hendrix is a greater cover
776. miconis123: I love Disturbed but I prefer the original to their cover
777. Mike Alexander: First time seeing the channel. Interesting
778. Exia: Ne Obliviscaris - Intra Venus
779. C & C Window Cleaning: oh my goodness...its chief Krusko
780. AB0L1SH3D: Black Label Society - Lost Prayer..........Also dont know about best cover ever!...great and all but Chris Cornell covering Billie Jean is mind numbing
781. David Hurst: Lmao edgy Howie Mandel
782. Ryan Morris: Need a Stone sour reaction
783. IGottaBasketballJones: Disturbed does some of the best covers, they have become known for them, among other great songs.
784. Don: Finally! Been waiting for this reaction.
785. The Lone Outlaw: Why am I seeing comments from 4 months ago?! It just came out???
786. Joseph Nicknish: Check out Nujabes https://youtu.be/y1qfq0sz_GM
787. Victor Rubio @vi20_v: I Am The Fire by Halestorm pls pls 🤘🙏🙏🙏🙏🎸💿🎶🎶🎙
788. Nicole Larsh: So ive commented and said this before, but I truly appreciate what you guys do. I absolutely love that you are so open to listen to any and every kind of music, but I also love how you really dig in and appreciate the music itself. Ive seen a lot of reaction videos...but most people are just doing just to do it. I love and appreciate your interpretations. Thank you.
789. Tiago Cravo: It's supposed to react to the interpretation and not the lyrics. It's a cover so it's all about the interpretation which is marvelous.
790. Scott Fowle: Like our founding fathers with the Constitution; this song spans generations and is meant for ALL. The lyrics are timeless no matter who sings it.
791. Ryan Hart: Michael Richards Ohhhh hell yeah, great request, cheers 🍻
792. Mike Forti: That is NOT Howie Mandell... it's Dana White! PS - The "neon god they made" is television. The internet hadn't been invented when this song was written.
793. Rob Hogate: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other.
794. Jawbreaker 1999: Disturbed - Stricken
795. LaFawn Sweeten: Rammstein Du Hast. Or anything off Sehnsucht. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NarMn_hadwg
796. Whitney Davidson: The song is ultimately about death. Doesn't matter where we come from, who we are, or the color of our skin....we all meet death on equal terms.
797. Carolyn Sheean: The live version with Myles Kennedy is even better by far....
798. Las grab: IMO this is the worst cover of all time, the original song is 10/10 brilliance and doesn't need a bald guy with piercings singing it while staring intensely into the camera. They're not adding anything creative with this cover but being overly theatrical in the most cringeworthy way.
799. TheTrognation: Candlemass - Gothic Stone/Well of Souls
800. Christopher Haselden: I love when you guys break down the lyrics and give your thoughts.
801. AJ Wooderson: you guys need to get into some tragically hip for your canadian followers. older stuff like new orleans is sinking or ahead by a century would be a nice place to start
802. TheReincarnatedDeath: Isn't that neon god a symbolic naming of the TV?
803. Craig Cook: I hadn't heard this version before. At least they remained true to the core of the original version. I did like it, but I'm trying to decide if I like the aggressive shoutiness in the last third. Overall, not bad.
804. Tiffany West: I love that you did this! They have an amazing live version of this.
805. kathy smith: 1st anti war message. 2nd no one listened to the first so now anger and only money counts
806. Ron Timmons: You really need to watch the video of them playing live with orchestra on Conan. Makes a major difference... I think the song is about nuclear war
807. DreamForger: Jaden Smith - GOKU
808. Sifu_gaming: The eloquence of your description of music and the artists is amazing. You guys are awesome!
809. Atomic Squid: Whatever else might be said, David Draiman has some horsepower behind that voice.
810. Rodrix Rockz: You guys are amazing and funny af! Keep up the good work :D Please do some original stuff of Disturbed, like "Asylum" , "Inside the Fire" or "The Infection" 🤘 Cheers from Brazil o/
811. Korey V: Loved your lyrical analysis.
812. Aaron Sallee: You need to react to Stricken by Disturbed
813. Ryguypie17: Tenebris Rex for that “duet” factor, check out the live version they did with Myles Kennedy. That was pretty cool
814. 481216Dragon: Anything from the last album
815. Mattpro6397: Check out Rush Spirit of the Radio and see if you hear the Sounds of Silence reference.
816. BrisbaneAOR: Queensrÿche - Empire
817. soccerwizard975: Firstly, this song is a cover. I prefer the live version from Simon and Garfunkel's "Live and Central Park". These guys sing it less dramatically, but more haunting. The reason I haven't been able to get into Disterbed's cover is because it's huge and orchestral, where the version I mentioned is sparse and fits better to the original theme IMHO.
818. LibrlRevolution: I really don’t like Disturbed but this is a freaking amazing song. I remember when I first heard it on the radio and really liking it and then being surprised to find out it was Disturbed. I still like the original better (because it’s a timeless classic that I’ve loved for so long) but this is a damn good cover.
819. MrFandango: Yes. That's an amazing song. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again.
820. Negasilver: Do Soothsayer by Buckethead
821. Mary Bishop: Paul Simon said,"The Sound of Silence’ is the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are youthful alienation,” he explained. “It’s a young lyric, but not bad for a 21-year-old. It’s not a sophisticated thought, but a thought that I gathered from some college reading material or something. It wasn’t something that I was experiencing at some deep, profound level – nobody’s listening to me, nobody’s listening to anyone – it was a post-adolescent angst, but it had some level of truth to it and it resonated with millions of people. Largely because it had a simple and singable melody. Read More: Revisiting Simon and Garfunkel's ‘The Sounds of Silence' | http://ultimateclassicrock.com/simon-garfunkel-sounds-of-silence/?trackback=tsmclip Just so you know. Loved your reaction!
822. Jason Wohl: System of a Down - Soil Tool - Prison Sex
823. grimesjon1: Keep laughing! That is Disturbed! Fucking laughable fools. They just don't know when to quit.
824. dirtygore: Thayer Yates 😂 disturbed got you into metal 😂
825. Va9ers21: Disturbed - Shout 2000?!? Yes? No? Maybe so?
826. naildriver465: I hate hate hate when artists try to sing someone else's songs not saying he can't sing but that version of that song sucked to me there are way better disturb songs than this in my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions and assholes everybody has one
827. Karl Renner: Brazilian death metal? Sepultura? Roots, Bloody Roots
828. Topher Bec: What makes this cover work, is the building crescendo throughout the song.
829. jmpmusva: Look how words written by Paul Simon in his early 20's, still ring true today. This was written in the early 60's
830. JAYJAY TEE: Haven't really been a Disturbed fan since the Down with the sickness album...…..But this is awesome! How about some Faith no More for a second chance? I Started a Joke is an excellent Bee Gees cover you guys should hear.
831. wvusmc: I like Disturbed and I can't stand this cover. I'm surprised it got so big for them. It's their most streamed song on Spotify and thats a shame with their catalog.
832. NightRoadth66: It seems to me thae line "and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made" was a reference to society creating and worshiping false gods. But thats just a thought
833. jeffrey therrien: Jeff buckley hallelujah is the best cover.
834. shellyme e: Hey guys, The one with miles Kennedy and disturbed together singing this is WAY better!!!!💥 Check it out sometime, you guys love miles in Alter Bridge:)
835. Zach Samulka: You guys gotta listen to other Disturbed songs before hearing this to appreciate it
836. Jake Sinkey: Check out Monuments or Polyphia!!
837. CDMz Legend: They finally did it, also please react to asylum by disturbed
838. Fo'ad Salmanian: Chills, literally getting chills listening to the song for the thousandth time
839. Marian M: This cover is so overrated, it’s so terrible. Original is 1000 times better.
840. Curt Seubert: King's X "Over My Head": so much better than this, and a cover (of sorts).
841. Muhd Adeeb: And that's your opinion
842. Adam Mičinec: Pain Of Salvation - On a Tuesday
843. hans maulwurf: I dont get that...everytime a good band covers a good old song i dont like it (Maybe imagine from tool) but i cant hear that on normal radio.Everytime at work when i hear that i think they need money
844. Justin Bauk: For the love of God someone please get LIV to listen to Bob Seger.
845. DaltonThomas: The live version with Myles Kennedy is pretty good.
846. Scott Davis: Crap.. it’s crap.
847. Annalina721: David Draiman is the vocalist for Disturbed. He has a stunning vocal range! Powerful and emotional. Wait til you hear him growl! Lol! Disturbed- The Game, Voices, Stupify, The Vengeful one, Liberate. And so many more great tunes! Love you guys reactions and videos! Rock on!
848. markeldamgaard: No offense but you guys are idiots to not understand the meaning of this song. It's even more relevant today.
849. Tracie Nielson: Are you guys open to listening to some Classical or Broadway music? Anything by Andrew Lloyd Weber or maybe Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
850. Tommy Buchanan: You guys have to do Down With The Sickness by Disturbed.
851. Hermes Raggio Adorno: Excelent song! Please...react to "SOS Plea for help" (Live)...by Dimash. It's very emotional! Thank You!
852. Mystical Ronin: Yall late for this
853. Cm Mosher: I don't quite know what it is but I never liked this guys voice. On the otherhand, Richard Cheese does an amazing version of Down with the Sickness.
854. Alec Cope: Hardly anyones heard of Zack Hemsey, Lessons From a Nomad but its worthy of having that changed
855. Mike Hughes: Blackberry Smoke - Bottom of This
856. Nikki McSwain: This video to this song speaks to me...js. https://youtu.be/AMXbM35fIdI
857. Bob Schneider: "Moments Like This" - Alison Krauss & Union Station. That song will change your life.
858. Kelley Vanderwerf: It's shocking to me that some people don't immediately recognize this song - it's a classic that's been played over and over and over again for about 50 years. It's an extremely well known song. Disturbed's version is incredible - gave me chills.
859. Enrique Sanchez: Anybody that reads this, please give Jzac a listen
860. christian clark: Definetly do more disturbed. Down with the sickness, prayer, striken, indestructible, asylum, judas priest cover as well
861. Spuds McHaggis: Guys you hit the nail on the head. The song is all about the inability of people communicating to each other in a nut shell.
862. te0pa0k: Down with the sickness disturbed
863. S.L. S.L.: Love Disturbed but not this one...
864. Rei Ryokazaki: Myrath - Believer Myrath - Believer Myrath - Believer
865. Eric Yates: Down with the sickness by disturbed
866. Calvin Gordee: The song was originally written for encouraging communism.
867. Pandora Fox: Lovely interpretation of the song. Great job, Guys!
868. Jay Terra: Shinedown - Simple Man is imo the best cover but this comes close.
869. Nashvillekat: Paul Simon was originally inspired to write his "Sound of Silence" by the poem "Silence" by Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950). This poem was often included in high school American Literature classes in the 1950s and 60s. It's well worth reading.
870. fishdemslabs: Such an awesome video too. RoN is becoming my favorite band so many great songs to choose.
871. jjames e: Vektor - Recharging the Void, this is a great track!
872. Dustin Mueller: Yeah, that way you guys can hear how they've always been terrible.
873. jilllhunt: You should watch the 9-11 version of this video
874. Jvaughn: Love Disturbed...hate this cover
875. buzz killington: Trashed it? lmao please.
876. Adam Mičinec: This version is pure shit.
877. Matt Palasch: The Sword - Dying Earth
878. Claudio Lassala: Good version of this song, but I like Nevermore’s best. :)
879. phantom4x4: Blasphemy!
880. Dee Colburn: Voices!
881. Charles Envosoft: My take on the meaning: The words of Dr. Martin Luther King: “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” It would be bellicose to interpret each line of every verse, so I focused on the result--that is the last line in each verse and the verse’s premise. The first verse was visions. The result: Visions (thoughts/dreams) still remains within the sound of silence. The second verse was sensory. The result: A FLASH (to see) touched the sound of silence. The third verse was a lot of people (10K). The result: Didn’t disturb the sound of silence. Fourth verse was spoken words. The result: Words failed and echoed in the wells of silence. Fifth, final verse was the sign speaking on behalf of the oppressed - emotions: The result: Whispered in the sound of silence. Thus, we find that none of our human efforts (visions/dreams, see/touch, sheer numbers, words/Gods/emotions) truly affects the sound of silence. The only one that came close was emotions (music, art, poetry, -- things written, things that last beyond the individual and can be used as signs for the next generation). Written is very important because things written can be read and communicated in silence. The song’s verses listed every component of humankind’s ability to superficially mitigate silence, but, in the end, it was only a whisper. Because in the end, that's what we are, whispers in the never-ending sound of silence.
882. Blake Miles: Before I watch this...WOOO finally y'all get to some Disturbed. One of these days if you'll do Breaking Benjamin you'll finally hit everything I've advocated for.
883. Cas9a: It's about the Vietnam War Bros
884. Travis belanger: From what I gathered is this is about technology. Talking without speaking: texting, email, etc. Neon God: technology. Hearing without listening: how technology has sort of made us become lazy and not actually listen to one another, sort of become desensitized.
885. andyisyellow: Yall should react to something by Tool
886. Defensive Wounds: 1:50 - Correct. I think that is why this video got a lot more hate than usual, also, who the hell is Howie Mandell?
887. FiveClubWind: Wish you had explored something else of Disturbed. This cover is fine but you’d enjoy his voice in a metal setting even more.
888. Perktube1: I hate to stop the flow(not really) but I gotta say Beyonce had the best song ever…. Might as well put Kanye in the breaks. Please please react then save commentary after, then you have the whole song to review in its entirety. 😀 imho.
889. JR Howell: It's a cry for help... S ound O f S ilence
890. Garrett Rehmer: PLEASE... PLEASE do Bone Thugs N Harmony- Ghetto Cowboy!!!
891. Bethan Handley: The ' soul patch ' is a double lip piercing 😂
892. AoAunrealrob: Okay, well now you guys absolutely have to do Inside the Fire by Disturbed.
893. Paul Haney: Shinedown Simple Man- amazing cover
894. Robert Young: you also need to know about the time this was written . and the fact that S & G were a very political group.
895. Desu Desu Chan: People are hearing without listening and the lyrics are pertaining to people writing music and playing it out in their heads as they do it.
896. David Hahn: I think one of the things that lead to how many people were blown away about this cover, was getting the mindset that Disturbed could do this type of song, and do it extremely well. Most people (including myself) that grew up listening struggled to make the connection from the music they played. It really is incredible the range they have as musicians.
897. danny Last: neon god,pertains to stardom, making gods of stars.
898. SweetLikeCyanide: Mercedes Miko it also just seemed to make more sense coming from her, to me at least. It felt more powerful when I heard her version, much like the first time I heard Cash's Hurt.
899. William Mueller: Definitely NOT best cover ever. Whoever told you that doesn't know ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER by JIMI HENDRIX... or doesn't know that it is a cover too.
900. Mathew Cameron: I also wrote this before the video. "Best cover ever"? Are you fucking kidding me?! Amos Lee "like a virgin" is light years beyond this when it comes to covers.
901. pete perkins: Should've listened to Stricken or other title by Disturbed first for reference.
902. Ionut Tudorica: Boring
903. JediEdin: I cant stand this song. So overrated. The original is way better and nevermore did a way better cover of the song.
904. Jon Davis: I have three songs by Muse for you guys. In this order Uprising, United States of Eurasia, and finally Thought Contagion. The ideas posed by the lyrics of these three songs in order are absolutely astounding.
905. Yelle Hughes: Yeah, I was just watching your faces when it got to the bridge, lol. It's a good song and IMO it's not one of my favs from this band. But, I do think that you guys would really appreciate some of their other works: Remember, Stupify and Down With the Sickness. Yes, they are dark but the lyrics are deep. David Draiman has a very powerful voice, which the Sound of Silence didn't quite do his voice justice. Excellent reaction.
906. realmscat: You should listen to Indestructible by Distrubed.
907. Todd B.: The neon god we made is music. Everyone loves music.
908. Josh Norko: Is this the cast from "above the rim"?
909. theRealClaW: Rivers of Nihil "Where Owls Know My Name"
910. Tony Sorrow: If that's the case, you should've used their other cover - Land of Confusion
911. Richard Bowers: Now do the version with Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge joining Disturbed live. I'd also recommend "Dragonfly" by Shaman's Harvest. Also... "Haunted By Design" by Myles Kennedy. Off the best record of 2018 so far - Year Of The Tiger.
912. Holly: Without fail, every time I listen to this song and watch the video, I get chills. Every time. There are so many small things I notice each time I watch. Thank you for doing a video on it and analyzing it. This song definitely makes you think.
913. kmcclinton71: Corrosion of Conformity please - Albatross or Clean My Wounds
914. TX Rider: Give a listen to Simon and Garfunkel "The Boxer"..
915. lily dawn 85007: Neon gods = celebrities.
916. John Medved: Please review Harlequin Forest by Opeth. Thanks.
917. JCORE01 jjaastad32: Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive Alter Bridge - Calm the Fire
918. parsons69: Five Finger Death Punch Bad Company probably the best cover of any cover ever done
919. Blake H: You guys should’ve reacted to Down With the Sickness by Disturbed first. You guys totally got the wrong sound for that band to start off.
920. mark shipley: Shut up, listen, then comment.
921. evilbunnysanta: Entombed - They!
922. Joseph Parris: Overrated
923. Lee Ann: Howie Mandel?! Love it!
924. Adam Schulte: It’s not a bad cover, but my favorite covers are Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt, and Marvin Gaye’s Heard it through the Grapevine.
925. Lizard Man87: Orbit culture- Redfog
926. lxl Limbo lxl: Avatar; Smells Like A Freakshow!
927. Doyle Randall Ashcraft: My first time to be here on your channel fellows-thanks for the great music and intelligent discussion of it!
928. *SymphonyBcn: Symphony X - the accolade.
929. Crazy Gamebino: Since we’ve done some disturbed do inside the fire next time
930. triplebackspace: This song is about the plight of urban poverty , and how people remain silent and ignore the plight of the poor. How some people will treat people suffering under the condition of poverty as being invisible . How people remain silent on the issue because there is no easy answer and it makes people feel guilty,uncomfortable , and powerless.
931. Gville Jonny: SMASHING PUMPKINS ruled them all in the 90s. Pick any song from Siamese Dream. Thank you free thinkers.
932. Silke Jakobi: he does not look like Howie Mandel
933. majurbludd: Disturbed -10000 fists
934. Loose 88: https://youtu.be/Hc_kOX6xkAQ
935. RudeBoyisSkankin: Hate to say it but this is a bad cover. It takes out all the spookiness of the song
936. Homer: 2 black clowns
937. Richie Jenkins: Broken- Seether!!
938. Misty Hulsey: 21 poilts Neco and the niners
939. Sherrie Morrison: and yet again, another reaction video done wrong! dont pause, speak over or laugh while the song is playing! it just ruins it! PERIOD!
940. Kermit Adkins: You should have listened to the live version of the cover, on Conan. It's somehow much better than the recorded version. Great review none-the-less.
941. Darrell Crawford: Disturbed felt they would present this as a warning to schools who have eliminated music departments. If you notice at the end, there is a boat filled with kids that have band instruments. Band gets a lot of gruff in school and the term "band nerd" is tossed about but a lot of the artist you enjoy today first got their taste of playing music in band class. This is a warning for us all not to abandon music instruction in schools or just art in general. When all they learn is route teachings and their creativity is silenced, silence will be all we hear.
942. MrBook: Guys, do OG Simon & Garfunkel - "The Only Living Boy in New York." Very powerful song.
943. neamraven: Wait, wait, did you just say suB-tuhl instead of suh-tuhl? That shit was hilarious :D
944. SlimGoody: Yes that's an amazing song, it gets me everytime...
945. Oli Bear: Interrupting the music n making a comment when the rest of the song isn’t done yet is annoying say bye Felicia 👎👎👎
946. Cereal Killer: Simon and Garfunkel were warning us about what could happen if we didn't change. Disturbed sung with anger how we didn't listen. The theme as well as the words used by Simon and Garfunkel are incredibly representative of the present time. "And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made" That can stand for consumerism, technology or capital gain in general. It's the modern day version of the Golden Calf and it's unfortunately accurate. Paul Simon definitely wrote a masterpiece
947. Joe Kelly: Voices never shared...voices that were never heard by our ears or our parents due to them dying in nuclear catastrophie despite the decisions made then
948. Jacob Fischer: In celebration of Halloween, Witchy Woman by The Eagles
949. TheSupradude26: The song is about how technology is silencing people. Tech ology is changing people for the worse, and what's crazy is the song was finished in 1963, and yet is far more accurate today than it was 55 years ago when it was written.
950. Mike Tackett: It's about the Vietnam war and the fact of so many musicians died that there is a sound of silence because of the music that will never be because they died
951. Serai3: I think the imagery with the instruments is that of something being found. The guitar was pulled from the earth, the drum was up in a tree, the pages of music are scattered on the ground. I get the sense of something that was abandoned, left behind, and now he is finding them to piece together a mystery.
952. petar vasic: You guys should listen to disturbed songs
953. Midnight Murder99: Disturbed also did a cover of Land of Confusion by Genesis. The music video is animatied.
954. Rich Whitelatch: Whiskey Myers broken window serenade don't even do a reaction video if you don't want to just check it out
955. Mark Fox: Been waitin for yall to do this one.... Watchin now
956. Double FotyFo: That's funny you mention Howie because everyone thinks Howie looks like him! XD
957. 33jedi: Okay so you're right the neon God they made is technology and they're kind of worshipping what they have designed and when he says people talking without speaking texting people hearing without listening texting again people writing songs that voices never shared you hear a lot of music nowadays that doesn't have any words to him whatsoever it's just a lot of techno music and you have all the feeling and emotion from that and you'll hear that from bands such as Skrillex this is the kind of stuff he's talking about we get lost and Technology were disconnected from the rest of the world because we're so wrapped up in our gadgets and phones and computers and video game systems and TV that we don't even associate with the world anymore and he's going out there and trying to tell him this is going to destroy us if we don't bring it back together and they're not listening to me that's what the song is about
958. Zathrus Pridham: I saw a comment somewhere else but Simon and Garfunkel was a warning disturbed was the anger the warning was not listened too
959. joe fink: Long time listener, first time caller but I would like to see your reaction to a real disturbed song. This is a great cover but some down with the sickness, prayer or 10,000 fists would be awesome.
960. bingokill: He s doing way too much in this song, I like the sobriety of the original much better! Just made it more authentic, not like a American got talent candidate!
961. JRHockney: ...What makes you think he thinks he's better than any of them?..Because he's still alive?! Pearl jam doesn't sound like any of other Grunge scene bands and this was one of Black was one of their best. .. and I say this as someone who was a much bigger fan of Soundgarden and Alice in Chains.
962. Bryce Sause: React to war eternal by arch enemy
963. Zander Roger: Damn, I new you guys would react to this eventually. I’m so glad you did
964. Randy Catalanotte: System of a down - Prison Song , Parkway Drive - Five Months , August Burns Red - Majoring in the Minors.
965. michael smith: noahs ark loaded with instruments
966. Pete Smith: no
967. neuroticgothguy: sorry but Nevermore did a better cover of this song, in my opinion more emotion and musicianship.
968. Kelz Pinero: GOJIRA - SILVERA GOJIRA - OROBORUS PUSCIFER - POTIONS TOOL - BLAME HOFFMAN/ROSETTA STONE
969. oekomaniac: I fucking hate this Coverversion!!! Just gturned it into lame version of the origal song. Listen to the Coverversion of NEVERMORE. They made it into one of their own songs!
970. kayakchrispy: Tears are falling...
971. patti claude: Disturbed sounds disturbed. Not into his cover if other songs as well. You two however, really make me laugh
972. Cheanno Respo: Please, Metallica- Creeping Death
973. majmunko23: fucking YES
974. Anthony Alejo: Architects - Royal Beggars
975. JKL2207: While you guys are doing cover reactions I would love to see you guys react to a cover version of one of the all time great rnb tracks End of the road. If you guys could react to the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes version, I reckon that would be interesting.
976. Stacey Hayes: You guys should check out Clout Cobain by Denzel Curry
977. Z-Soul 512: Anthony Alejo I like royal beggars but I dunno if that’s a good starting point
978. dantehikes: I like Halestorm's cover of Bad Romance.
979. jason thayer: Their new album is coming on the 19th!
980. Frosty The Snowman: I must have missed it, i always think of that song when I hear this one
981. carolyn sullivan: Love this version. The way I see it is the whole world needs come together and see what is happening and listen to what we are are saying. Then maybe we can move forward and live in peace and harmony as one.
982. thinkin outloud: A premonition of 5g microwaves controlling us. Neon splitting the sky. EMP attack. Electric outages everywhere. People reverting back to primitive behavior. It's something the elites are going to do to us.
983. Annalisa Pizzuto: Keep watching the video and comment after
984. Jason Stagg: There are so many covers that are better than this
985. Zebulon Swearingen: Rachel Sviantek Never heard either version of “Gone Away” but I liked Five Finger Death Punch doing “Bad Company”, that was a good version too.
986. Chloe Skye: The live version on the late show I think, is actually even better.
987. Adam Cobb: Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros! Sigur Ros!
988. John Cawley: I think u guys hit on the interpretation of the modern message well. Today's technology is the new distraction preventing people from communicating on the person to person level now. Back when it came out, it was about the news, propaganda, & media outlets, and using fear to silence original thought, and trying to keep the flock in line. Alone, we are individual & weak, but together, we are strong and unified. Timeless message. Music is shown as the bonding agent metaphor, (piano burning, drum in tree, ship full of instruments joining). Good choice of vid & nice review. Well done. \m/
989. Misty Hulsey: I know my spelling ain't on point if u know this song show ur mask
990. Marin Malatestinić: the meaning in the song should be a muse... in his dreams he is dreaming about a song that disturbed the silence,and now he dares to do that song to reach the people,cause you guessed right ,about the technology, that took over the world and how we r dependent of it! and now he thru this song is trying to reach them again,neon god! we r so disturbed by the tech that we dont write songs anymore ,but sampling the old....the song writer the original one was way off his time and he knew that in the future we are going to be connected by tech,and not by talking,and mingle one with other! thank u ,and if i can make a recomend.... band: KORPIKLAANI - Wooden Pints, you will laugh at the first but at the end is a great song!!!!
991. AngeliseValenya: lol guys
992. joseph h: Please do some Manchester orchestra “I’ve got friends” or “I can barely breathe” they are a different sound from most of what you’ve listened too
993. Geneva Smith: YEASSSSS! I wanted you to react to this one! I requested this a while ago. YEAASSSSS! Thank you!😁
994. James Woods: Steve Vai - For The Love of God live with the Holland Metropole Orchestra
995. Kalle Karlsson: Plz do Eminem - Venom, new song that’s super cool.
996. Luis Cueva: Rodney Farrar they’ve already done a reaction to it! Their reaction is quality and spoiler alert they loved Chris Stapleton. Which is definitely expected lol
997. Dandy Sabbath: God this song still gives me chills
998. Yves Cerrens: The original is a narrative folk-song, an objective "account of events", and brought that way by Simon & Garfunkel. The Disturbed-cover is most certainly not an objective by-stander view, but is a judgement of what "they" perceive as a problem in/with our society, hence the powerful vocals and version. And yes, Dave Draiman is that good a singer. If you really haven't heard any Disturbed-songs before, which I strongly doubt, their Nu-Metal-era debut is a good place to start: "The Sickness"-album (2000), for example "Down With The Sickness", "Voices", "Stupify", "Fear" or "Conflict"...
999. Cliff McFarland: Avenged sevenfold - I need You tonight.
1000. Kashmirknight: Fucking song gives me chills!
1001. Jake Hornberger: Any disturbed song ya'll do I'll thumbs up
1002. Jodi Kasapidis: You really need to do Nothing More - This is the Time
1003. Chadney Phillips: To truly appreciate his voice you've got to hear Down with the Sickness by Disturbed.
1004. Phill Rufus: To me, personally, this cover feels like it is mourning the loss of something in the music industry. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening and people writing songs that voices never share? People who sing meaningless and generic lyrics just because they flow together, people who listen and consume the music without thinking about it or questioning why they should like it, writers writing songs for labels that is never used and just sits away forgotten among the thousands of other ready to churn out tracks. The neon god we made is basically the modern pop music industry, songs about the same three things with over produced and effortless music tracks that lacks soul. It doesn't evoke emotion, it doesn't raise questions, it doesn't have a lesson or a message, it just brings in money for a while before the next thing takes over. I'm not saying all modern or pop music is like this at all, but it feels like it is a large part of the music industry. The video, with the broken instruments, the clearly destroyed landscape, the imagery just feels like it's talking about the death of music. Is what I take away from it, anyway.
1005. Ts s: It is a song about segments of society not being heard. We are too rapped up in material things. We don't listen to each other, this song was written in the era of the Vietnam war.
1006. transmit13: Great. Now I'm going to get ear cancer.
1007. Debbie A.: Great response, and I totally agree.
1008. Jade: Kind of feels like platinum bait. Disturbed isn't terrible. But this songs feels too tryhard.
1009. bonnita- marie decarvalho: The first song was a warning ,this one is a reminder 😁😁😁😁😁
1010. Tyler Rancour: A Little Piece of Heaven - Avenged Sevenfold! It'll be one of the most unique things you've ever heard!
1011. IAm TheBlurr: Great cover to react to! Really glad that you guys broke down the lyrics down the way that you did. You've gotta react to Oceans of Slumber's cover of Nights in White Satin. It's an unbelievably powerful cover and I dare say better than the original.
1012. Matthieu Quintana: How about Innuendo by Queen?
1013. Dragon Tamer: +J L You Are correct. I was incorrect. I just remembered an interview. but it was not them. My Bad.
1014. Ran Wolf: The original version was used in The Watchmen movie, during the Comedian's funeral
1015. Jason Nickel: Dream Theater - Pull Me Under!
1016. Aaron Clapper: Or if you want to do another cover, Chris Cornell did an amazing job with Prince's "Nothing compares to you".
1017. Zymra Music: Disturbed has a song called 10 thousand fists. Its a song i feel is about coming together for one cause. But David sings 10,000 fists in the air! I think at 5 minutes thats related to your question. Just people who know somethings wrong, or right, and uniting theough devision to pay respect without sound, without voice. Its a hard thing to accomplish but when you come from a background, where everyone, even those closest to you are out to get you, you seek relativity and realation to other lost souls. The silence like a cancer grows. Once bad can be good. Your silence when alone is dangerous and a scary place. But silence when in the presence of similar souls, also dangerous, but safe. My opinion but let me know what you think? Maybe im wrong
1018. firefist x: He created the soul patch
1019. ben ridge: Live on Conan the instrument as a voice he has can be heard enjoy
1020. J Donner: I always thought it was about unrealized ideals or dreams
1021. Leempo: The reason I don't like this version is because they use cheap tricks to make it more "powerful". The cheesy timpani drum build-ups before powerful lines and loud cymbal crashes telling where you should feel emotion. It all seems like one big cheap gag to me. The vocal are the fucking tits though, no lying about that.
1022. Rich Veeck: Wow, you guys have to do some Disturbed!!!
1023. Yiorgios Vazouras: You guys should do a reaction video of Dragula by Rob Zombie. You guys haven’t really covered Industrial Metal, and it’s a shock rock classic as well. Really worth a video.
1024. Logan Craft: Check out upchurch duke nukem you want be disappointed
1025. call me Ishmael: The BEST cover of this song..I absolutley love that you did a video for this song..David Draiman puts soo much emotion into this song..I also feel like this song applies more to this generation than any other..I really hope you guys appreciate this song and remake.I watched your faces as you were watching and listening and i could see it on your faces and you were taking it in..The original writer look it up, I think it was Simon had this dream during the 60s and it encouraged him to write it.
1026. failtolawl: Avenged Sevenfold - Strength of the World!
1027. Vasilis Metalhead: Though i'm not a nighwish big fan i'd love to see their faces if they'd listen to them!
1028. Balogh Mihály: A girl or guy (im not sure) at another videos comment section summed it like this: "When Simon and Garfunkel sang this it was a warning, they could see what was happening in the world. This version is sung in anger because the warning was not heeded and now we are living in the sound of silence." I feel the same way.
1029. chris boyd: Disturbed version of the Simon & Garfunkal "sound of silence " is a decent spin on a classic rock song it's like Five Finger Death Punch version of the 1980's band Bad Company self titled song BAD COMPANY witch is also half decent most bands butcher good songs as far as the HOWIE MANDEL comment David Dariman looks nothing like him do a side by side of the 2 Howie"s facial bone structure is much longer from the Orbital Bone "eye socket" to his chin that would be like comparing Jimi Hendrix to Carlos Santana NICE head gear tho
1030. Cancer Söze: naah the best cover of all times is "hurt" by johhny cash
1031. John Wayne: moon tooth - belt squeezer or moon tooth - queen wolf or moon tooth - igneous. i would also say Metakcas Turn the Page and WHITNEY HOUSTONS I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU are greater covers. this cover is undeniably great
1032. Heather Pursell: I really really loved your take on this. It was really interesting to hear you breaking it down like that. Thank you. You made me see a lot of parts in a different light
1033. karatekick66: Love the unobjectionable review! We’re the same.
1034. Nameless St Gabriel: If you guys react to more of Disturbeds songs majority of their lyrics have a lot of subliminal messages. His aggressive vocals gonna through you off. Theres a song called Darkness has a nice calm feel also.
1035. Sassgay Coochiha: Disturbed - Stricken
1036. divinechaos_78: I would love to see your reaction to A Perfect Circle - Judith.
1037. Leslie Mccormick: Simon and Garfunkel were incredible writers and harmonized so well.
1038. QDIID: So, here's the score: Wanted to kill you-7.5, Changed my mind-8.5. (the .5 fluxuation is due to me saying "He doesn't look ANYTHING like Howie Mandel...Holy fucking shit, he looks exactly like Howie Fucking Mandel.) That realization has taken up PERMANENT residency in my head so, if one day some white guy sucker punches you while simultaneously saying the word "Howie" that was me & according to the revised Bro Code, you can't get mad.
1039. Elizabeth Salvatore: this song was written for the movie the Graduate, by (Paul) Simon and Garfunkel especially for the end. the song is more effective to hear at watching the movie the Graduate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEl-J7lTkKU
1040. gree: Love you guys...Subscribed
1041. Hayden Rohs: Cody jinks- lifers
1042. resident9011: shut up
1043. MonkeeBoi1960: BTW, if this song doesn't give you chills, check your pulse! :)
1044. Kenny Haynes: You guys should listen to some of the Disturbed other songs to see the difference. Stricken is a good one. It would allow you to understand the difference between this song Sound of Silence and their normal which is very metal.
1045. Marco Furtado: TOOL Grudge, 10000 days or Rosetta Stoned!! Don't do Vicarious.. It's a great song, but not as special!
1046. FozzyBrah: disturbed indestructible
1047. FallenTrinty1991: Another one to really recommend is a slower song called The Humbling River by Pusifer. Pusifer's lead singer is Maynard from Tool so it would be someone you are familiar with!
1048. insertnamehere: Curtis loew by Lynyrd Skynyrd
1049. maguffle: I LOVE his voice
1050. Amanda Yates: Pleasssssse do this song!!!
1051. James Allen: It was worth stopping the video to say he looks like Howie! ROFLMAO
1052. WowItsFrosty Games: Kevin Kuenn not there’s a wrong way to listen to music, but the way you listen to music is very limiting then. Your listening to this as JUST a song, not a message. I’m 19 almost 20, but even I’ll admit that most music today is JUST music. There’s no real emotion behind any of it and as such it’s easily forgettable. It SOUNDS good, but it doesent matter when the song didn’t speak to you to keep you invested in it. THIS song is simply done, but it speaks to you. It speaks to most of us at least those of us that actually tried to truly listen to it. Your just letting the music go in one ear out the other, your not letting I resonate with you, which is perfectly fine listen to music how you wish music magical like that, but your limiting yourself. At least with this one.
1053. Jekker: Mushroomhead - Qwerty
1054. Michael Perez: If you have heard anything from Disturbed, it is the song Down with the Sickness.
1055. Hugo Fernandes: Greetings from Portugal. Here goes my usual suggestion to 4 portuguese bands. 1) Process of Guilt with "Feral Ground": https://youtu.be/g8iTsuwWxjI 2) Dollar Llama with "Louder": https://youtu.be/-ultHdm1pcI 3) Sinistro with "Abismo" (they sing in portuguese): https://youtu.be/mKO3vUlhSZQ 4) W.A.K.O. with "Drifting Beyond Reality": https://youtu.be/lRXJvDejSrQ Give a try to the unknown and Keep on Rockin' in a freethinker world! \m/
1056. Adam Hawley: React to aurora, running to the wolves
1057. gaming freaks: +transmit13 you must be a nickelback fan.
1058. Luke Dahart: Steve vai - tender surrender live version
1059. Sam Dickson: Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
1060. Bayou Boys: Crossroads sell your soul to the devil to be the best "Crossroad head chopping" @KbMQ
1061. Hay8: Still hoping to see a reaction to the Symphonic Metal genre. Something like Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, etc.
1062. Alessio Lo Vecchio: The Sound of Silence - Nevermore 🤘
1063. Doug Johnson: What is soul potential? Get over it white folks have soul too. What, black singers have a patent? Racist.
1064. Helmut Koeckritz: Check out my band SPLIT THE SKYE https://youtu.be/BDJ2S2dj0JE
1065. Sumeet Dhir: The best cover is Death’s cover of Painkiller. It’s probably as good if not better than the original!!
1066. TB 7788: do Outspoken by Dorje
1067. Gizmologist1: The original by Simon and Garfunkel gave us a gentle warning. THIS rendition delivers a rage that we ignored the first warning. Yes, the neon god is technology.
1068. Jordan Pennington: THE DOLLAR BY JAMEY JOHNSON!!!
1069. 2jazzyjeffer: Surprised that you guys chose the video versus the live version on Conan..
1070. Just a Bloke: Hurt by Johnny cash is the best cover ever imo
1071. Sophia Bogard: Some once said. " Don't die with your music still inside of you." That's what I get from this song.
1072. Mike Wallace: You guys are funny. Well Done!
1073. k0bra 3eak: Candlemass - Black Stone Wielder
1074. Eric Xu: This cover is just okay for me. I can appreciate some parts of the song. But it makes me sad that Disturbed is becoming more well-known for a cover song played in a style that is not their own. Any song that's a cover loses its magic for me, simply because it is not the artist's own craft. When people think of Disturbed, they should think of masterpieces such as Ten Thousand Fists, Prayer, Inside the Fire, and Down with the Sickness.
1075. PrimalTendencies: Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean is AWESOME
1076. Cheryl Nichols: Isn’t it amazing the way we interpret music! As a child of the 60’s and 70’s (yes that makes me old!) I remember when Sounds of Silence first came out. I thought it was a protest song. With protest marches agains/for women’s rights, the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, and everything else I thought it was protesting the inability if people to listen to each other. To see the argument from someone else’s side. “People talking without hearing “. The original was soft like a calming voice in a sea of angry rhetoric. Disturbed’s version is definitely pissed off. Like “How long do we have to go over and over this stuff before you get it??” Loved the original really love Disturbed’s version. But, I absolutely adored y’alls reaction! You had the deer-in-headlights look on your faces. And a first, no head-bopping. On another note, try St. Paul and the Broken Bones anything from their first album like Broken Bones and Pocket Change or Call Me.
1077. Magus Trigger: I wanted to thumb down cause i hate this version so damn much, that wouldn't be fair too you two. But damn if it isn't a terrible version.
1078. TAG1138: They should have thrown in a WA AH AH AH!!!
1079. Davorin Jurišić: Actually disturbed's first live performance of this song (on Conan) was way better.
1080. Jordan Pantaleo: Do "The Bazaar" by The Tea Party
1081. Mitch Haelann: The song, IIRC, was about the death of art. It's a lament of musicians making cheap, low-quality music that nobody actually enjoys and just use as filler, and of people who think music is without value.
1082. Darren Hirschey: +Bill Burki he doesn't use it.
1083. kirk morton: Chris Stapleton- Death Row, you won't b disappointed!
1084. Nathan Cozart: Best cover!
1085. Chris Povey: Hate this song, doesn’t do the original or the lyrical content any justice, heaps of cover songs better than this, hell Metallica have a double album of cover songs and a lot of the songs are better than the originals. Check out stone sours cover of gimme shelter or Chris Cornell’s covers
1086. Philip Patek: Yes! Been waiting awhile for this one!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
1087. BlackMoridin: +Ivan Novak The original was a warning about the direction we as humans are headed in, and disturbed their cover is meant to be interpreted, as anger and a touch of sadness, that no one listened!!!
1088. Tarek Jayde Rahman: Probably the most un-Disturbed-ish song they have. Try Disturbed - "Indestructible" or "Decadence"
1089. David Rodriguez: Pleaaaaase react to coming down by five finger death punch its a great song!
1090. Faye Osmond: Should check out the duet with Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge)
1091. Jon cain: midland - make a little
1092. jhill76john: Please react to the BYZANTINE song GOD FORSAKEN! Great track.
1093. Frank Sandoval: should try Avenged Sevenfold- I wont see you again (part 1)…...amazing ballad...will bring u to tears
1094. redhotchilifan98: One of the most beautiful covers ive heard and i prefer to it to the original might be an unpopular opinion but i think this cover just portrays more power behind it and more feeling
1095. morgan little: Can't stand this cover.
1096. James Boyd: Yeah I forgot about Volbeat
1097. Ohwahahahahah: It's funny because the cover ended up being more of a meme, just because it feels too campy/overproduced, cringy or soulless. Just a bit too fake even though he is a powerful and talented singer. The original was referring to the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse, because the context was it was produced during the cold war and a time of uncertainty which speaks to the desolate silent beauty of a destroyed landscape.
1098. BlackSeries: When do we finally get RAMMSTEIN?
1099. hUGO Lopes: And "Aunts all over" would be nice too
1100. Kinksutin: Didn't know Charlie Runkle can sing 👍
1101. Orel Arokidas: I really hope they listen to the way of all flesh by gojira
1102. LxAxNxCxExR: THRICE THRICE THRICE
1103. Silverblade Dagger: "People bowed and prayed to the neon god they made" is probably talking about TV, and nowadays technology like cell phones and computers, but at the time it was originally written, it probably referred to TV. I know that Paul Simon wrote the song by going in his bathroom with the lights off, which is where the line "Hello darkness my old friend..." comes from. I remember him saying he would go there to think about songs to write. It was on a documentary or video clip interview with him explaining how he came up with the song. I think the song is about a lot of things but mainly how we talk without saying anything, hear but don't really listen. It is sort of how people don't dig into things and are fake, or just paying lip service to things, or going through the motions without passion or intent. It could be talking about music, where people listen to garbage, soulless music, and the songs of meaning and soul aren't listened to, or at the very least aren't truly being heard. That's my take on things.
1104. Jerred Boshears: ABSOLUTELY
1105. Becky Buchanan: Please review Rival Sons. Where I’ve been and Rag n Bone man...anything he does is great....also Jordan by Rival Sons....please I’ve requested this several times
1106. Kashmirknight: Amazing song
1107. VelociKappa: You guys pretty much had the same reaction I did. I didn't even know Disturbed was still around. Let a lone, covering this classic of a song. But damn man. I have to give Disturbed credit. They took a song that I would say is not easy to cover, and nailed it. Ain't it crazy listening to the lyrics that were written in the 1960s. And they still hold a strong meaning in todays world. It's almost prophetic. Weird.
1108. E Kramer2: Ohh. Maybe try out some Sabaton. That's more power of the messages, and histories. Gives deep respect to brave warriors, all sorts. Winged Hussars (Polskie Napisy) is pretty great. It is about the polish mounted warriors from before WWII and fast defeat. Generally isn't WHO it was politically, just that the warriors showed HUGE shiny ones. The White Death, Sparta (How to instantly increase a testosterone level), and to Hell and Back are some really great ones. Yes, some of their songs can also be heart breaking.
1109. Howard_the_Duck: Draiman is such a fucking douche. This cover sucks. You guys gotta do a redo for amon amarth. Do "twilight of the thunder god".
1110. CHUNKYbeef soup: Another great song ruined by the prick on the right. don't ruin the experience of witnessing a songs atmosphere the first time around k let everyone including yourself witness the song without interruption then brake it down at the end. Its so simple. Lost sub
1111. Joel Jarrett: One of the worst, most overwrought covers I've heard. Counting anything from FFDP.
1112. Penny Haynes: Check out Alice in Chains- Man in the Box!
1113. Brandon Therrell: Dream Theater - In The Name Of God
1114. Dermot Monaghan: Dope video again although i would of reccomended the live version. You should do Ted, Just admit it ... - by Janes Addiction. Y'all being free thinkers should dig it.
1115. jhowell1030: Yall like Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge right? You should check out this song performed live with him and Disturbed.
1116. DIY and PRO: Silence...please! Just let it play and LISTEN!
1117. Toni Francis: I hope you guys watch some other songs from Disturbed because then you can get a feel for how powerful this undertaking from them is. Their music is is incredible, and David Draiman (singer) has a voice that can gravel it with the best of them....moreso in fact!
1118. Spencer Rosario-McCabe: The wonderful thing about music is it’s up for interpretation. Yes there is an authors intent which is what the song meant to them - but people can extrapolate their own meaning from this legendary song. Good review and interesting take on it.
1119. Eskil Tester: you should've listened to the live version on Conan obrian
1120. Robert Calhoun: Its passable, don't hate on me but S&G's is much better but decades of the original may have made me earblind.
1121. dafunkmonster: What adds to the power of this song for me is the fact that it’s such a departure from Disturbed’s typical sound. If you are familiar with their work, you come to this song expecting heavy guitar riffs and brutal double kick drum pedal sequences. And then they deliver this power ballad with such restraint, and it really makes it even more profound.
1122. Guy Guglielmi: Kai Tangata (video) by Alien Weaponry
1123. david webb: the video with miles kennedy is better
1124. Markus Antonius: Or Say Hello 2 Heaven
1125. БълхатаНаКотката НаНикиБанков: Katatonia - My Twin
1126. jack Massry: React to Anthem by Greta Van Fleet!!
1127. Rick Seal: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other.
1128. Michael Richards: ScAr SyMMeTRy - The ILLuSiOnISt!
1129. Megaladong 20: Bredon urie best live vocals
1130. Brahm Tancredi: Where Dragons Dwell - Gojira
1131. E Kellett: For a feel of a real Disturbed song try down with the sickness
1132. Johny Depp: Opeth-Sorceress
1133. Savage Dawgs Highlights: Brent House holy shit yes!
1134. Nick: Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes is another GREAT cover..!
1135. Denisse Espinoza: Can you guys do Angel of Mercy by Black Label Society? It's one of my favorite soothing jams \\m// thanks in advance 🌸
1136. David Ayers: I really like this cover. Disturbed seems to like to do a lot of covers, because I can think of 4 more without evening trying hard. Among their own songs, Remember will always be my favorite, I think. Just a great standout song. Hopefully, you can get to that one some time. Fair To Midland - Musical Chairs rocks, too.
1137. Michael Young: 581st.....getting faster
1138. Random ASMR: Have you guys done Stevie Ray Vaughan? So epic that even Clapton said that when he heard him, he felt like giving up. Little Wing!
1139. Jill D: @call me Ishmael Agreed and I personally like the edgier tone of this cover (not just because it's Disturbed) because of the frustration that the widening bridges between people (aka apathy) is only getting worse.
1140. LucianoG Benitez: Polo Polo and 3 jaja
1141. denis burlage: Meaning people talking over each other but never really taking the time to listen to what other person has to say. Here me and my opinion regardless of your opinion.
1142. sinnedam: As much as I like this cover, it’s not a good introduction to disturbed as the majority of their songs sound nothing like this.
1143. Pattrick Kipp: As far as I understand, Simon and Garfunkel wrote this song about Hiroshima. I could be wrong but it's is what I was told.
1144. Peter De Man: Would you guys like to do a review of https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+world+is+yours? Powerfull song, Even more powerfull female vocalist :D
1145. David Elrod: I think the interpretation that Disturbed took this song in, is that we all have an artistic creative nature inside us that we need to not leave silent. They're using music as the particular art to make the point. All the people with the music sheets, but without the instruments are the silent group, that has silenced their own creative spirit, in order to "praise the neon god they made" to be consumers of TV, radio, social media etc, choosing to be consumers only, instead of creators as well. Having heard the song before, but not seen the video, it's black and white nature (and the fact that it's a cover) reminded me of this cover, perhaps you guys could react to this next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phw49dse-J0
1146. Jake Rau: The original was in the movie The Watchmen.
1147. vladthetransilvanian: Just to add for the Disturbed rec: listen to the album version, the music video cuts a portion.
1148. Zack Morse: They had email in the 1960’s when this song was originally written? 🙂
1149. Jamie Light: I really prefer Disturbed's live version of this cover performed on Conan.
1150. Luka Calle: Disturbed = music for balding dude bros who are afraid of anything heavier than FFDP
1151. N Goose: It's a cover of a song.. It's not all about lyrics on this one but a misinterpretation. Just the change in style and the gradual intensity. Just a solid cover.
1152. jamelle qualls: I love this better then the original
1153. Caleb Butler: You guys should totally do Drift Away from Rittz. It's a good backstory rap about him
1154. HighwayRamos: Urgh, do the original Simon and Garfunkel version. It's about a million times better than this.
1155. kassan williams: Down with the sickness is their most popular song i ussd to constantly listen to them but havent in a while lately so cant suggest others
1156. Junior McDaniel: If this is the greatest cover ever they've never heard Chris Cornell's Billy Jean or his cover of nothing compares to you by prince
1157. Tritium: an island by chevelle. y'all haven't done them yet!!
1158. xkevxxr: I would love to see you guys react to Legion of monsters or save our last goodbye from their newish album.
1159. Thy Huynh: Death - Spirit Crusher
1160. Paul Retzbach: Mr Dave Draimen!!
1161. The Eighth Sin: Shoudl definitly listen to more of disturbed, skipping over down with the sickness lol.
1162. Diana Simmering: Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Expression. The right to express ones thoughts, ideas, opinions, political views, etc. without fear of punishment, persecution or any other form of retaliation from government. EVERYONE has the right (and duty, I believe) to be heard and NO ONE, NOT EVEN GOVERNMENT has the right to SILENCE ANYONE. Sound Of Silence, in my opinion, was Paul Simon speaking out about the Oppression of certain forms of Speech, including music, (especially music) that was occurring at that time. and had been going on for practically all of history! Think about this.... Our music today would not have been allowed to be played in the 1960's. And the music of the 60's would not have been allowed to be played in 1930's or 40's..... etc....So, WHATEVER YOUR PASSION MAY BE, SPEAK UP AND BE HEARD, DONT BE SILENCED!
1163. ShabobaX: the howie mandel comment took me tf out lmfao
1164. Like The Wolf: React to the live version of this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1165. Dark Side Bricks: It was written about technology and humanity disconnecting from each other
1166. Darren Everett: Great reaction as always, and speaking of covers you should try out Shinedown's cover of Simple Man. Absolutely great cover. I personally prefer that version over the original.
1167. David Schreiber: Please do "Ænema" by Tool.
1168. Misty Michele: That's deep... I can totally see that now I never thought about it like that.
1169. Davemaster 43: Please, react to WHILE SHE SLEEPS - FOUR WALLS You won't regret it!!
1170. Justin Hubbard: Down with the sickness please
1171. Yasser Jamil: Avenged sevenfold buried Alive please!!!!
1172. Johnathan Richards: Holy hell you finally did it!!...Last to the party but finally!
1173. Gunnjerd McDonald: Devin Townsend - The Death of Music - royal albert hall Pleeeeeeeaaaaseee
1174. TexasVeteranPatriot: Dislikes? Probably a lot. Heres one...
1175. Guilherme Omlo: yyz - Rush live in Rush in Rio
1176. OddysseySorry: I would’ve told them to listen to the live version from Conan.
1177. demonswithinusall: Music bridges all gaps. Those who were silent could not connect to the others. The music, and possibly the artists, at the end could be their guides to connect to each other. Music has no language boundaries, nor the boundaries of race, religion, class etc.
1178. PlunderAndPillage: Guns n' Roses Dead Horse!!!!!!
1179. illegal kiwi: +Reeroy Life so not people, thought so
1180. Micke Persson: You picked the wrong Disturbed song. Should really listen to some of their own songs. 10,000 fists, Stricken, Down with the sickness, liberate. And many more. Come on! Thanks!
1181. Tommy Lynn: Well done guys!
1182. Jay R159: a7x buried alive
1183. Kevin Mathers: If we are keeping it rap then you should react to Yelawolf- Love is not enough or Til it’s gone but if we are talking expanding then I suggest System Of A Down- Soldiers Side
1184. Brandon Bennett: Y’all should review “when she comes home tonight”- Riley Green. It’s a very soulful country song. It’s not super popular but it well worth a listen I promise.
1185. donna taylor: 2 guys making fun of a GREAT singer and a awsome song....smh...assholes
1186. Melanie Edwards: I love the original . The harmonies are beautiful. First time hearing the Disturbed version . Second listen liked it better. I think the most beautiful part of the original is the oblique lyrics . The music in the disturbed version and the way it is sang it’s as if there is a clear message that can be heard and I think this song is really more of a subjective message drawn from experiences of the writer . It just ended up sounding overblown and pompous. For me it is about people worshipping consumerism and getting wrapped up in their worlds and pursuits without connecting or hearing or seeing the truth , but the truth is only the writers truth . I suppose everyone has a subjective interpretation,but I think that’s why it is such an elusive , mystical and beautiful song . This version is way too direct in my opinion and it’s sounds too slow . Just my opinion.But awesome voice
1187. Rohit Basu Chaudhuri: Superb cover, definitely. But nowhere near as good as the original. I liked the fact that Draiman made it his own and sang accordingly, but really, the original version is one of the best songs of all time. Goosebumps every time.
1188. Becky Neufeld: That's disturbing sounding
1189. Jokster91: to fully appreciate this you definitely need to hear the live version! his voice is incredible live!
1190. jilllhunt: Do Carrie Underwood “How Great Thou Art”
1191. jakeybball: tailsof1Leo Disturbed is garbage and so is this cover. The whole point of this song was it was supposed to be simple and quiet and they ruined it.
1192. Nick Hanson: Not a soul patch. Piercing I believe
1193. Bigjcomeon: Also think of hear no evil speak no evil see no evil.
1194. Cheryl Volpe: lost in vegas....Good show. The "show" is what is worshiped in the neon lights. whatever is a distraction from our LORD...whatever comes between you and your Savior's WORD. this generation is tasked with the ultimate expose', of the most distracting and deceptive philosophies, and theocracies, that have ever been.
1195. Leslie Lang: It was a warning from a long time ago from people who were in the music industry and seeing where it was going or what was happening. Technology is made by man. Music being written, orchestrated, and sung by technology. But Simon said this about the meaning of the song: “The key to ‘The Sound of Silence’ is the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are youthful alienation," I guess I can see that too. Think of all the kids in schools who want to be musicians and how many songs they write that will never be anything.
1196. Shawn Lupori: Do more A Perfect Circle guys!!
1197. knuckleknutz: No, the best cover of all is Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band.
1198. kondomonster: Neon God probably means the neon signs at a club or theater to perform their songs.
1199. Hydra089: NOTHING MORE - THIS IS THE TIME
1200. TakerRIP66: I'm not 100% sure which of the two but I know that either Paul Simon or Art Garfunkel gave very high praise of this version because of the haunting beauty that came from it
1201. aiden mcneil: Thank you guys for responding to my request for this song. Love your takes!
1202. BENJAMIN RISLEY: You guys should do “The Dance” by Garth Brooks
1203. Jka Vill: Dislike. For Georges corny jokes.
1204. Allen Vrabac: Well it's a smart move to get views.
1205. Holly Buller: A song that can depict many meanings; depression, mental health, even seeds of doubt or cultural differences. Many people see actions that are harmful and thus silence can cause the situation to be destructive.
1206. Brian Seymour: System of A Down - BYOB
1207. LeNa: OVERTHINKING IT ...... Lost in Vegas.... so PLZ PLZ PLEASE REACT to D O W N with the S I C K N E S S w Disturbed All the best, <3 <3 and Success from Arctic LoVe Islands, Northern Norway
1208. Nathan Baker: From memory, I remember reading that this song was about the division & lack of communication between Big Corporation/the Government and the common people. “Neon god” being all the billboards, adverts, TV and internet etc. So it’s how this (as you said) divides people and stops them communicating too, in order for them to see what is creating the ‘silence’ and division. There was a lot of other reference points I read about, but that’s the easiest.
1209. Tony Viner: I'm so sorry you guys had to sit through this.
1210. theCTCamp: I'd put Kamelot, Hammerfall, and Nightwish on the same plane personally. I love them all lol, but they all hit different emotions for me.
1211. Mxid: React to accept kill the pain
1212. Far Too Much: It's simply about people disconnecting from other people, withdrawing from society and becoming a giant pile of consumerists. Also, this song is WAY more powerful if you listen to it loud, on a good sound system, with some medium-heavy bass. The drum beat really brings home the power....trust me!
1213. Raven Rock: i request ya'll review Bad Wolves - Zombie, a cover of The Cranberries. Amazing story surrounding the cover
1214. Atheist in Alabama: I don't give a 💩 who u are, that mug can sang!!!! This song is old as hell but more relevant than ever now, too many damn folks roaming around that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground!!! But that's a rabbit hole for another comment section😉 When y'all gonna react to some Pearl Jam Black unplugged??? Bring on my man Eddie Vedder 😍
1215. Liquidation King LA: The Song is about those that a Killed because of War, Sickness and Famine.... They can't speak or hear or see; so we have to finally communicate for those that can no longer let their pain be felt... Simon and Garfunkle wrote the song but it is so melodic that you ignore the words... Here you Can't Ignore the Message!
1216. Yakov Golencev: Metallica - Damage Inc. Please!!!!
1217. sacredomens: +Dennis Cooke personally, my favorite cover of all time is Crazy in Love by EDEN Project & Leah Kelly
1218. Bobby: I'm not sure who said this was the best cover of all time, honestly it's not even close to as good as the original. Covers like The Man Who Sold The World when done by Nirvana make it to where you never want to hear the original again (David Bowie original).....covers like All Along The Watchtower after it was done by Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan said that it was no longer his song. That's not even talking about the many covers Marilyn Manson has done that are better than the originals.
1219. Chris Longshore: VooDooGamingPT They’ve reviewed that song already
1220. Crocodile Smile75: I have never wanted to strangle a youtuber more than the guy on the right. STFU until the end of the song.
1221. Eli Fierro: Avenged Sevenfold - Dose Or Mad hatter
1222. Michael James: You want another powerful cover of a Simon and Garfunkel song check out Queensryche's cover of Scarborough Fair, well they didn't write it. But the most famous recording of it.
1223. Will Lambert: I would love to hear Cory Taylor sing this, I think it might rival David other than him I don’t think a metal singer could come close
1224. James Henderson: Compared with there other stuff, this cover is lame..
1225. Jimbo: When ya'll gonna react to some Muse, I recommend Stockholm Syndrome or Knights of Cydonia.
1226. Moon Gazer: Korn - Wicked
1227. DisreS: most pretentious bullshit cover ever
1228. colin flaherty: I hope one day you get into amorphis incredible band that not many seem to mention daughter of hate is my song of the year so far this year it's incredible
1229. Bobbie Robinson: I prefer the Simon and Garfunkel version. This man has a good version but nothing beats the harmonies of the original. This is powerful but it just doesn't suit the words to me. As for the meaning, it's different for everyone.
1230. Will Schmidt: Please listen to the bobaflex version of this song
1231. jkay3161: The reason why you don’t know what you listened to is because you paused during the song 4 times this is a song you need to listen first then talk
1232. Jake Wright: Chris Stapleton - fire away
1233. J L: filip Do you really need to hear from someone else that Bed of Roses is a garbage song?
1234. PilferTheLightOfDawn: Guys - Disposable Heroes by Metallica. Really. You'll love it.
1235. WelbyIsYourGod: If this is the only Disturbed song you've heard then obviously you NEED to listen to Down With The Sickness, but I would also reccomend Dropping Plates, Stupify, Remember, The Game...there are so many more but those are definitely a start
1236. Chickmamapalletfarm: He does look exactly like Howey Mandel!
1237. Tim Murray: Helmet-Unsung
1238. Preston Shewell: Jenny by Nothing More!
1239. kriselda gray: Oh, that song is just incredible. I'd love to hear their thoughts on it. I'll have to see if they've done Comfortably Numb yet. That's another amazing song.
1240. miserablessed86: Yea this somg hurts so good
1241. Doug Turasky: the live version from the Conan O Brien show has over 84 million views, its phenomenal
1242. Paul Retzbach: Hate that cover too
1243. Leona Picklesworth: This one is much better check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_7zghWA6QY
1244. Dave Evangelista: Please react to Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name Live at Rock In Rio!!
1245. Syco4121: Listen to the live version with myles Kennedy singing with him!!!!!!
1246. Shadow Hunter: Disturbed- down with the sickness
1247. Michael Whitted: I CAN tell you guys that Disturbed's own music sounds absolutely nothing like this. David Draiman prefers to sing in scat rhythms.
1248. Spring Sino: you should hear disturbed-indestructible
1249. Angel Grider-Sturgill: The Conan performance is so much more powerful!!! For a truly mind blowing version... watch that one.
1250. Reeroy Life: +illegal kiwi at least ten thousand fists or something.
1251. Per Svensson: Haken - cockroach king | very fun prog rock
1252. Cyberbean: You finally did this song!
1253. Darius Briggs: Could you guys react to Body Count - No Lives Matter Body Count is Ice T's metal band, they are legit!
1254. hoesandbacon: Iron Maiden - Children Of The Damned
1255. Kathy Young: I'm with you. Not one of my favorites.
1256. Collin Beal: Simply horrid
1257. caden brockbank: Or Parabol/parabola
1258. Film Kini: I believe they won't like Kiske's vocals, so How many Tears, Victim of Fate or Perfect Gentleman might be a good start.
1259. Michael Kirkland: Ive watched just about every video you have. And subscribed. I actually love an unbiased and honest point of view plus an even dialogue. You guys are real. I love your channel. Keep doing what your doing.
1260. Dwain Henry: Dude with the glasses has mastered the art of stopping the songs at the worst possible time.
1261. spikeconley: Why do people bother speculating? Paul Simon already said this is about lack of real communication among people. Not to disagree with Denny's interesting observation below.
1262. Invoke the 25th Amendment.: The first, Simon and Garfunkel, was written during the hippy movement, full of softness. This brilliant version reflects the current mood of the world. Both still relevant.
1263. Story Long: lmao love this cover so much...and no he doesn't look like Howie. lmao smh I suggest Tito y Tarantula - Strange Face
1264. Dr Rich F-G: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
1265. Dalton Sixer: You guys really should have done the live version, so fucking good. On the flip side, yall should ready do other songs by them, night and day.
1266. Shaun Weir: Now do "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed for a reference on their old sound
1267. Omar Bravo: React to the new tech n9ne joint Chuki Fever!!
1268. Michał Golecki: Gojira - The Gift Of Guilt
1269. Johnny Thacker: This is my first time hearing this. Reminds me of today’s world. We speak without saying a thing and hear without listening. We need love !!!
1270. John Bachmann: This is a great idea
1271. Layne In Chains: Disturbed is a Metal band do think that’s why it’s such a huge cover... their music sounds nothing like this. David does have an amazing voice though he killed this shit!
1272. darkdudironaji: You guys should do: Proponent for Sentience III - The Extermination by Allegaeon Or Bilateral by Leprous Or Battle Creek by Bent Knee Or Atlas Stone by Haken. PLEASE!!!
1273. Manny Davila: You guys did an awesome job! Love the breakdown.
1274. Jessica Norman: I just don't get the hype over this. Of course he has a great voice, but the original blows this out of the water. To each their own, though.
1275. Giuseppe: As wonderful as this cover is, and it really is, it's also completely unrepresentative of the style of Disturbed. I find it funny whenever I hear people say they love Disturbed based only on this song and the reaction they have after listening to, I don't know, Down With the Sickness :))
1276. Doug Phillips: +Kevin B. I understand that.. But every other second make a comment..i am sure that if they disrupt it at the middle of the video it would be safe. I have seen several videos where people have listen/watched a full video and then made their critisizim aacter it was over and that video is up. Plus most of the time when they are supposed to be talking about the video they talk about everything but that.. Thats why i stopped watching it wasnt wasting my time.
1277. GWAILIN: The performance they did of this on Conan a couple years ago (wow time flies) did it for me... https://youtu.be/Bk7RVw3I8eg
1278. B E: Sound of Silence is the fact that people are talking but no one really listens. Simon wrote it when he was 21, he thought it was a simple song with simple harmony if I remember correct.
1279. Mr. Whit: No, it wasn't. That's just a common misconception because it was written in the 60's and the fact it was popular with war protesters. It wasn't targeted towards politicians or any specific group people, but an overall critique of people in general. Per Garnfunkel, the song was about "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
1280. natasa don: The neon God they made is the media and how people worship technology above all else
1281. Rob Hogate: +Eric Biddle apparently not according to one of the guys that wrote it
1282. willr455: the simon and garfunkel version is in Arrested Development a bunch
1283. Martin Earhart: More DISTURBED !
1284. Brian Ross: Diamond Rio - You’re Gone
1285. Deena Schilling: I like the original version better.
1286. Joseph Supino: you both guys keep stopping a great song and by changing to his way makes this a greatest song even done by coverbook
1287. Jackie Lopez: to bad they SUCK live!
1288. OEMR: what defines "good" is completely subjective, like it or not. I do agree Barbie Girl is horrible, but that doesnt make it true for everyone
1289. Amber Yocom: Oh okay, i missed that in the beginning of the video, thanks!
1290. Rhonda Alonso: I love the way it sounds & feels.  It's play list for me!
1291. T O': Audioslave, any song
1292. Jim Amos: If you haven't already done it, Seven Nation Army by White Stripes
1293. Michaelangelo Costello: Song has to do with the Vietnam war... old song from another era
1294. archiveit1: Even though you only touched on the original version a little bit, I think it would be interesting to hear you guys compare more songs to their covers.
1295. Wesley Bootie: It was about the simplistic beauty of music don't need all this stuff added to losing touch with the rawness
1296. wayne saward: Green day basket case
1297. Natog: incorrectamundo this is garbage
1298. MrPittsburghJ: Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing or Money for Nothing, unedited version
1299. joe utley: Is it just me or does he sound like Winnie the Pooh?
1300. Brent Strickland: You have to do 3 Inches of Blood - Hydra's Teeth a Canadian Band.
1301. Ty Cobb: Great song. Original and cover. This guy has some insane pipes.
1302. caden brockbank: Y’all really need to react to Steven Wilson - Drive Home. The song and music video
1303. zttombs: Powerful. You hit the nail on the head with how this song feels. Great react. You guys should check out Zeds Dead and Omar LinX - Jackie Boy 2.0 or Stoned Capone by them also.
1304. taup184: +Jealous Gods I don't share that opinion but to each their own. Also Kamelot is Power Metal, not Symphonic. At least not to my knowledge as I haven't hear all of their material.
1305. Mrakas Stef: You guys should try Disturbed (The light )
1306. Jimmy Staley: Out of all the songs that’s Disturbed has, you guys want to introduce them to a cover...... what a waste.
1307. Stan the Man: Great cover. Would love to hear some Stevie Ray Vaughan–don’t know if you guys would want to sit through a 4 minute instrumental, but Little Wing/Lenny are both awesome places to start in his cannon.
1308. TOAOM123: Im particular to bad meets evil, personally
1309. King Kennedy II: Do Soundgarden - Black Hole Son
1310. Peter Lewis: If you want to hear a great metal cover of a Simon and garnering song then you should have listened to Scarborough fair by queensryche.
1311. Mike Storr: Another awesome cover to check - especially since you guys like Rush, is Subdivisions by Allegaeon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWnyNjQVEZ4). For me The Sound Of Silence was always about the hollowness and lack of meaning in pop music and pop culture. Music that makes noise but doesn't actually say anything.
1312. NPC #1716382: When they performed this on Conan boy was it beautiful and inspiring.
1313. ColinFurness77: You guys should really check this out. Metal combined with J-Pop with dance/choreography. Just wow!! https://youtu.be/WIKqgE4BwAY
1314. Cleve Crudgington: His singing is great but overall I'm not a fan of this cover. It's too loud and busy but also seems kind of safe and overproduced. It reminds me of the kind of thing a bunch of record label executives and producers would put together to try and get their up and coming new pop star onto the charts as quickly as possible.
1315. S.L. S.L.: Found this channel by accident one night and ended up watching all your metal reactions all night haha...i love you guys...love openminded people
1316. MrSuspenser: Please do a song from the new Twenty One Pilots album Trench! Neon Gravestones, Leave the City, and Pet Cheetah are all really good tracks, but really hearing your take on any of the songs from them would be much appreciated :)
1317. Ron Foster: The singer's take on covering the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JoCUpV3Hgw
1318. Tara Ball: You take the power out of songs when you stop them!!!
1319. Christina Dupont-Demaison: Please react to black parade by my chemical romance
1320. Ryan Vaughn: It’s not a soul patch. It’s a piercing
1321. Rich Reid: Billie Jean by Chris Cornell is another amazing cover
1322. Kate'z Kitchen: I realize you guys go with what ranks in the comments, but if you wanted to react to this song based on interpretation and imagery, check out the Maccabeats version. Very poignant.
1323. evilbunnysanta: Please hate this please hate this please hate this please hate this I NEED VINDICATION
1324. Dale Martin: Sounds of Starbucks
1325. Gambit Lopez: Audioslave- like a stone!
1326. Kabz: David Dramain is a great vocalist, its a bit melodramatic as a cover, but as somebody who only listened to Disturbed as a younger kid, this song kind of made my ears perk up and I remember when it was released I was impressed by the reaction I had combined with the cover of Phil Collin's Land of Confusion - which has a sick video too.
1327. TrenchToast: @Cat Momma, thx for the clarity. I remembered seeing some VH1 special a -long- time ago. Ft. Simon&Garfunkle (Mems a little fuzzy) i just remembered them saying that he'd go into a dark room (no specifics) to come up with lyrics. And that this song was written during hard times between the american people and its government. And yes... this song was released in 65 but was written in 63-64 (just after the cuban missle crysis in 62) my mom has told stories of how scary it was to conduct nucular bomb drills.. (i cant imagine) And yes.. Simon wrote this song in youthful frustrations because he thought that no one listens to him. (He was 21) My point is.. where some songs are written in different context by the author, depending on what is happening in the world and peoples lives when they hear it is what gives it different perception. This song later became a song representing the anti-war movement.. not just for the cold war or vietnam, but for all war..
1328. Charles Brackett: 21 Savage- No Heart
1329. MTG Guiltfeeder: Should have done “down with the sickness”...
1330. Godsban3: The live on Conan is amazing. So much better. It’s also hard to appreciate this song without knowing that disturbed will rock your face off.
1331. jimicrack29 thibodeaux: simon an garfunkle so all just copy an think itss new ??? baloney all are who copy there lazy an just no motivation to write a original song music for them self .
1332. Ed Stewart: If that caught you by surprise, you´re in for a big one if you get to hear some of their best songs like "Down with the sickness", "another way to die", ""the light", "Stricken", "sTUPIFY", etc. Also, you definitely need to check another powerful vocals in another band from the same time as them as MUDVAYNE: "The end of all things to come" or "Pulling the string". Specially cuz I know that even if you guys have it hard to dig this type of singing you can´t deny the appeal in these particular songs. hearm me out guys, and i love your work, never get tired of your reactions, though I don´t comment often. Keep it up!
1333. Skarn73: Well, I think you should also listen to the version of the song "The Sound of Silence" done by Nevermore. You will see a complete different way to do a cover :)
1334. MARC FERNANDEZ: Think of the times this was written. Neon signs...
1335. Sally From London: Sound of Slience 1964. Neon Lights (no web then) guess they mean the changing times after recovery from WW2 and how people then became more insular, swinging sixties and neon lights..... Switch to 1971 and Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On’, Mercy Mercy Me. Again recognising the fast changes in society. Maybe........ Either way a superb cover of a song I never really liked that much......
1336. Daryl Hicks: Not a bad cover hear r some other anerabel mentiones. Gwar: if u want blood Primus: have a cigar Less claypool: shine on u crazy dimond
1337. Tim Behen: this about ppl having free speech
1338. Patrick Holt: I think Paul Simon was talking about the loud silence of the modern city, where it can be deafening while no-one is actually communicating, and if anything people are struggling to ignore the voices of others all around them, so as a whole there is silence socially, and people don't get to be heard, and stop trying, and those who really ought to be heard, the prophets and those who put the writing on the walls for society, like God in the book of Daniel, are right out on the fringes being ignored, in the subway system and the tenement halls.
1339. christian clark: Wow there finally doin this. I waznt waiting but its cool when someone reacts to your old fav band
1340. Erin Greenlee: That's a great way to put it!! I didn't think of it that way.
1341. Janet Slater: He looks more like Mr.Clean to me.
1342. macleadg: Harry J. White Paul Simon loves this cover, and said the song was “no longer his” when he heard it.
1343. Ms Behaven: First timer on your channel! Enjoyed your reactions and thoughts. I say "history repeats itself"! Subscribed!
1344. Dennis D. West: I absolutely hate remakes. Very powerful performance. Should have been saved for a solo album, especially since we don't hear the band. I don't think that anyone who can't do the vocal harmonies (most bands today) should do remakes of originals. I would have loved it if it were original.
1345. chicken2jail: I prefer the Harmonies on the Original, but gotta admit, Howie does a fine job. Deal, or No Deal.
1346. 52ndWarhawkGerbil: Please react to We Will Fall Together or Would You Be Impressed by Streetlight Manifesto!
1347. Sylvius the Mad: I honestly don't know what Simon and Garfunkel were trying to say when they wrote this song, but it seems as though it could be applied to modern political discourse. People hear without listening all the time. They hear what they want to hear, rather than listening for what's actually being said.
1348. Zebulon Swearingen: Thrungey Anything by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.
1349. Deorman Robey: You got it. people not communicating.
1350. Michael Woods: Thank you guys for finally reacting to this song. David Draiman is a classically trained singer and you're spot on with your understanding of the lyrics. It's about we as humans losing our humanity by being consumed by our reliance on technology. Keep them coming.
1351. Chris Ward: Puscifer- Mama Sed or Potions
1352. Laurette LaLiberte: This song was written during the Vietnam era, post-Civil Rights era, I think it's reflective of the times.
1353. Samwise Richard: Deli Creeps - Time
1354. Daniel Salazar: Dare I say that it may be time for more Alice in Chains? If not... I really think Tool should be covered again. You probably get tired of hearing that, but all of Tool's music is so different. Parabol/Parabola, Vicarious, Jambi, You Lied are all great. Their whole discography... I've never heard a song I didn't like from them. Maybe I'm a tool-head. Maybe you shouldn't judge me lol
1355. william skrainski: If you had to Google the original, you couldn't really appreciate what you're listening to.
1356. Derek Niebruegge: Agreed!!!
1357. Chris S.: "Karma" "The Fourth Legacy" "The Shadow of Uther" or "Lunar Sanctum" would definitely get my vote. The drums on Lunar Sanctum are fucking phenomenal.
1358. Chris L: Dudes! Silence in the face of greed, suffering and injustice! Neon in 60's speak = Glaring commercialism. A (recently invented in the 1960s) and quickly becoming ubiquitous, glaring, flashing, piercing light killing the natural restful peaceful darkness of night. Neon god=Greed, Monolithic, systemic idolatrous god of wealth and greed, both creating and ignoring what is (prophetically, as in the old testament prophets of outrage) written on the subway walls and tenement halls. And if one sees the words, there is still only the sound of silence. This song is not about "c'mon people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together." It is about willful blindness, and not even speaking about the suffering created for the many by the selfishness of the few. But in case I sound critical of your interpretation, I love your channel, even if I am old enough to have bought the Simon and Garfunkle version when it first came out!! Cheers guys and keep the reviews coming! PS glad you dug Rush!
1359. Laura Tieffel: +Magnus Likes Tanks I agree!
1360. Dakota Lee: Yeeeaaaahhhh, I don't really know why people would request this song over songs like Prayer, Asylum, The Night, Inside The Fire, Stricken etc. which are all originals. Requesting someone to listen to a cover for their first experience with a particular band just seems odd. Obviously this is an incredible performance from Draiman, not taking anything away from it. Also, this isn't really a song that would make someone like a band and want to delve further into their catalog, this is a song that makes you respect the band. Two different things. Anywho, before I bury myself any deeper, anyone who hasn't should check out Nevermore's cover of this and my boys in Lost in Vegas should react to Savage Messiah - Insurrection Rising.
1361. Andy Reid's Mustache: You guys should do Pearl Jam - Black
1362. Rux 1919: When you guys going to get to some black label society? Zakk wylde is a monster in the metal game. Try fire it up it's a good intro
1363. MADD MATT Hutchison: Who else cried
1364. Tim MacGregor: The Ballad of Curtis Loew
1365. Christian Gonzalez: React to the devil in i by slipknot
1366. Tretre38: Ticks and leeches tool!!
1367. Tim: neon god vs golden god(s) that moses saw people worshiping when he was on on top mt sinai. everyone worships technology now. even more than when this song was created.
1368. David Tate: Its about losing our identity as a people. It is a conspiracy of silence, to not speak of issues that need to be addressed. Not talking about violence, ignoring the homeless, hoping these problems will just fade away. .... and the hope that one day we will come together as one people with no color, no prejudice, and no hate.
1369. Efrain cruz: I think the Neon God they made, it's perhaps maybe the image of the singer, as they worship them, neon represents the lights on stage
1370. karend169: Okay, not a soul patch, they are piercings
1371. Cotton Hill: Howie probably could cover this song as well! Audioslave---show me how to live
1372. cole mcgregor: Watch Olympic figure skating with this song absolutely perfect
1373. Dabadger 2025: Dreamtheater- Octavarium
1374. Peu Oliver: Fort Minor - Remember the Name
1375. Smokey Rockwell: God I love that one.
1376. jimicrack29 thibodeaux: sucks this
1377. Umbradens Wolfking: A different reaction I mean lol
1378. Daniel Czako: 10 thousand fists in the air, or the sickness are good from them too
1379. 21voltz: You should check out the video for A Perfect Circle - Disillusioned.
1380. Rob Hogate: +ShawnDon  there is no original version meaning and this version meaning,the song means what the ppl that wrote it meant it to mean which according to what I found it meant what I posted,also in what I found Simon was referring to sitting in his bathroom with the lights off when he said "hello darkness my old friend"....you can associate lyrics of someone's song to whatever you want but it doesn't change the meaning of the lyrics and if the writers say what the song meant that's all there is to it, covering a song doesn't change what it means....it was apparently clearly stated that it wasn't about a war, which I'm guessing is what you meant,yes it's about ppl being unable to connect with other ppl not because that's what David draiman wanted to mean but because that apparently what Garfunkel wanted it to mean
1381. Wietse Pot: I don't mind the pauzing of videos, but it annoys the crap out of me when you don't use them to turn of the annotations on the video you're reacting to.
1382. King_Kong05: Volbeat: warriors call ... I believe volbeat is a very underrated band, not the best band by far, but definitely worth listening to. They’re a high energy rock band and it just kinda hypes you up
1383. MegaZiod: Kid Rock - Bawitdaba
1384. StrangMuZ6: OMG!!!! I've wanted you guys to react to this for so long!!!!! Gahhhhhhhh!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!
1385. dumplingshakes22: I’ve been waiting for this legendary cover!!!
1386. Mike Milligan: Its a very powerful song to understand the words. Which it sounds like yall do. You just dont get that yall got it. Yall are the only reaction vids i watch now. Yall guys give county rock amd metal a fair shake... And i like that
1387. Jack Gonzales: To get an original Disturbed track on here I would recommend Stricken or The Night. Just know this is not typical Disturbed sound
1388. Cody Cyphert: Zombie cover by Bad Wolves
1389. Gary Chapin: Amidst the goofiness, great lyric analysis. I think neon god is the entertainment distraction industry.
1390. Paul E: O for crying out loud guys.....silence please.
1391. goodride2004: Not even close
1392. Vinicius Leão de Almeida: Down with the sickness!!
1393. abaddonearth: Read allegory of the cave by plato. To understand the lyrics.
1394. Patrick Tow: Hell yes! That whole album is badass.
1395. B-Down HBunZ: The Best Ones Lie...end of story
1396. JDIZZLE THEPUNISHER: Ransom- pound cake
1397. TheTonyahawk: I'll buck the trend and say I prefer the original to this. Ultimately it is Paul Simon's visions and the soft vibes the original delivers for me work better than the intensity of this version. As for best remake too name two I enjoy much better than this 1: All Along The Watch Tower: Jimi Hendrix from a Dylan original 2:Blinded By The Light: Manfred Mann from a Springsteen original
1398. Shawn Lunsford: Please play stricken by them
1399. Joseph Druar: The original song was about the JFK assassination.
1400. Spirit of Shadows: DISTURBED DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS, DISTURBED AT IT’S CORE
1401. Stephanie Botts: Listening to this song to the video of the 9/11 tribute will give you goosebumps.
1402. Pockit: I've never heard anybody say it's the "best cover of all time" but it's definitely a great cover.
1403. Stinger2578: Disturbed also did a great job with "Land of Confusion" originally by Genesis.
1404. Michael Zeigler: The time has come. You are ready. Lowlands by Gojira.
1405. Cristian: Please do more Disturbed, especially Stricken. That's an all time classic
1406. Rebekah Burris: Please make a reaction video to jj grey-this river
1407. XzCoMaNdOzX: Love you Ryan and George. No one else on YouTube enjoyable to watch like you guys. Y’all really need to listen to these three: Gojira-From the Sky, Ra-Do you call my name, Audioslave-Like a Stone. Keep up the good work boys
1408. Douglas Bailey: If this just came out today how are they comments from a month ago
1409. Mickey Thompson: You should watch the 9/11 tribute video 💔
1410. Justin Sanchez: Grace by Jeff Buckley or Showbiz by Muse would be awesome.
1411. Salman Tahir: So when are you guys reacting to Megadeth’s best song “In My Darkest Hour”
1412. Micalena Riche: Check out Asking Alexandria
1413. gnar dawg: You guy's gotta check out my favorite stoner metal band KYUSS - Gardenia or Whitewater ! ! ! ! !
1414. James Sanderson: for Distrurbed you guys should have done Voices
1415. Tattooed Gamer: David Draiman is an insane vocalist. He doesn’t get credit for that because he’s in a heavy metal band.
1416. Sebastian Sanchez: Disturbed - down with the sickness
1417. James Mooney: Ya'll need to check-out Master of War or Land of Confusion by this band.
1418. Sean Parker: Play Whiskey Myers - Stone next
1419. StephBer1: Deborah Beck, it feels like the 60's all over again at the moment. The establishment not listening, the Women's Movement, Civil Rights, injustice, young people feeling disenfranchised. It's 50 years later, and they still haven't learnt.
1420. scb0212: DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN - WIDOWER. Maybe the tamest song by the craziest band, and it still hits harder than most bands dream of.
1421. Miki Nebulah: Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery Gojira Esoteric Surgery
1422. Linny AtHome: I think you’re way right on!
1423. uest super: Wow what a douche
1424. Wysteria Herr: Garfunkel and oats-handjob song
1425. Justin McClain: Kinda like Howie Mandel. But it seems to me like a really weird Mr. Clean commercial.
1426. Yung Sasuke: LUUUUPPEEEEE
1427. Maurice Alves: Do there song inside the fire it’s so badass
1428. Brunk Home: This is one that should have been a live video to really understand the vocal mastery of David Draiman. He kills this live!
1429. James Haskell: Subtle beauty vs. power. So right!!!
1430. Josue Quiros: Bloodbath - Eaten
1431. shannon moak: this song was written back in the hippie culture type.. it was an cry against "the man and big government.. at least that was my take
1432. matt johnson: I think he looks more like kevin pollack than howie mandell lol
1433. acidarrow: Was there autotune on this song?
1434. Sincerely Stacey Karen: Y’all are SO awesome for doing this song! I’m new to your channel, (as of this video-a new sub) so, I apologize for addressing you as the guy on the right, but I just want to take out a moment and express how deep and truly thought-provoking your take on the lyrics are. (time stamp: 5:15ish) I literally had to pause this to comment. 😶And, again I apologize but, the guy on the left, I’d like to tell you how cool you are, in the way you’re watching and listening with such sincerity of trying to grasp the vision and sounds. Y’all are a great duo and I look fwd to diving into all the content on your channel. 🖤🤟😎 I’m totally sharing this to my Facebook and I rarely stumble across stuff on my own on YouTube, that is worth sharing. ✌🏼, ❤️ and prosperity be unto you both and your futures. XoXo-Sincerely, Stacey Karen
1435. Jason: Valid Point why don’t you use the fucking search bar?
1436. Gregg Reaves: Gotta react to Deftones - 976 evil
1437. Louis Marino: Turned video off after the second pause of the video. Come on guys... really?!
1438. Pie Cat: These bois need to listen to infant annihilator - Soil the stillborn
1439. Kevin: you should react to Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars live rehearsal
1440. Adrian Loina: Please listen to something off of down with the sickness and ill forgive the Draiman mocking. Lol
1441. Kenneth Elser: judas priest beyond the realms of death
1442. Brian Praamsma: One of the things I noticed about this song and Hurt by Johnny Cash is a crescendo throughout the song in all aspects. In this, they add more instruments until its a full orchestra, raise the volume, and his voice gets more and more forced. Johnny Cash does a similar thing and I think that's why I get goosebumps every time I hear those songs.
1443. dan moore: imagine that there is no music, music is the tie that binds all humans together.
1444. Philip Myers: had to turn off coz these twats keep pausing a great song
1445. barry mccormack: Still Got The Blues - Gary Moore
1446. A Boy And His Lion: Korn - Wicked
1447. Cullen: React to Screaming Night Hog by Steppenwolf!
1448. BravoWhiskey: So uhh, not to be that guy but... the word "subtle", the word you said when the song ended, it has a letter in it that's silent. I'll let you do the research for yourself... It's the 'b'. The 'b' is silent.
1449. vicegripp: Disturbed - 10,000 Fists
1450. cassidymd72: I think you guys were into the right idea with your reaction.
1451. Cleve Crudgington: +Peggy Penguin No worries, mate.
1452. lvaliente87: Love you guys and your honest take on metal! For this song, you should have heard one of their original songs to hear what their typical sound is. Also, the live performance of this song on Conan really shows Drainman's vocal ability
1453. David Burrell: Ryan McAllister yeah absolutely why I’m pushing for it. As much as doomsday is more accessible, it’s better after Gone with the Wind.
1454. Jordan Robinson: Like a stone by the late great Chris Cornell Acoustic at AOL video is amazing!!!
1455. Vision Serpent: Where the sinners go Seven bells of 7 hells
1456. ChimourTheBatFurry: Takeo Ischi : Einen Jodler Hor Ich Gern.
1457. JediEdin: Need some Symphony X already lol. Inferno (unleash the fire) Sea of lies Smoke and mirrors

1459. tyrone loki: speaking of look alikes...yall look like DMX and stever urkel :D
1460. WickedTSW: Billy Talent - Nothing to loose
1461. Music_360: The neon God I believe is Wall Street.
1462. J T: BREAKING BENJAMIN - RED COLD RIVER!!!!
1463. Mary Davis: He was a little scary to me. The darkness reminds me that the rapture had taken place. He has a good voice.
1464. Tibro: You guys should check out Tesla. Their earlier stuff was heavier than the more recent stuff but an amazing band none the less. It's really a "pick any song" and you wont be disappointed. Great reactions! Keep it up!
1465. Drad1997: Idk if you guys have but you guys should react to Chevelle.
1466. Charlotte Bush: Please do one by Disturbed "A Reason To Fight". It's off their new cd.
1467. Mike Tackett: The deaths from what the Vietnam the cancer did grow from the men that were drafted the neon god was the t.v.
1468. Tim Raulerson: This cover is garbage, thumbs up if you agree!!
1469. Peter Brown: Next time do a real Disturbed song like Down with the Sickness or The Night.
1470. Caleb Bro: https://youtu.be/d_KxReI-gDo this will explain it
1471. Jade Stäup: This is a terrible song. All this work they have done and you suggest this? Wow..
1472. Lou Cypher: Haaahahahahaha howie!!;lol
1473. wvusmc: Fear Factory
1474. Morningglory Vine: When I listen to this song.. Maybe it's my Generation but I Imagine how we wernt allowed to speak about the Vietnam War... And we certainly were not allowed to be taught about it in high school.. ( Shout out to the Vietnam Veterans of America) they( VVA) came to our schools and homes if we needed support as a family. I was raised by a veteran my Uncles were Veterans... The education I was given because we were so involved has helped me to become a better, more supportive woman than I ever would have become. Thanks for reacting.. If you read this.. And you served.. Thank you, but most. Importantly, Thank you for your service.. ALWAYS THANK VETERANS!!!
1475. Metal Head: In an interview Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel said this revision made him cry when he first listened to it. It is the greatest and most worthy rendition ever made of this piece... the only one he has ever heard do the song justice.
1476. Ethan Abernathy: Lmao killed em with the howie joke 😂🤣
1477. John Pyron: In this moment - whore
1478. Amer532: AFTER ALL THE TIMES IVE COMMENTED FOR YALL TO DO DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS YALL PICK THE SIMON N GARFUNKLE COVER LIKE I GUESS YOU ALREADY HEARD THAT ONE?
1479. thomas idunno: If you wanna hear another amazing cover that’s better than the original in my opinion check out Gone Away by Five Finger Death Punch.
1480. Shannon Xox: Kesha-praying
1481. Juan Schweizer: It's not "silence" the elephant in the room, but "copyright". It's funny how some people just come clean and say it and others choose to get creative.
1482. Zord Commander: now i can never unsee Howie Mandel thanks guys for killing it forever. on a side note i have met all the disturbed members and they are awesome
1483. Stefan Matic: There are a lot of singers in metal that are clasically trained. You for sure need to expand your metal diet.
1484. David Perez: Love the original song, and also love this stunning cover. You should also check the live version of this cover, sung along with Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge.
1485. Truth with the Cajitaldian: sticking with covers THE BEST EVER !!!!! Bobaflex Hey You Pink Floyd https://youtu.be/rm5eWLXW6l4 runner up Hellyeah https://youtu.be/nYXYfdsaHxg and better than disturbed version of Sound of Silence; https://youtu.be/y-1D5N7Bzrk
1486. boot system: I thought I saw Idris Elba so I clicked now disappointed
1487. Richard C Autorina: I’m an old dude and when this is played in its entirety... I get chills from this
1488. ViNNiE KLuTcH: This band 🤣
1489. Cassie Wells: That’s deep.
1490. Hellcat M: If you like that song you'll love this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4382UVl0oc Its a new original song from Disturbed and its amazing!
1491. Charlie Brayson: Coheed and Cambria - The Gutter or The Dark Sentencer
1492. James Sanderson: Although I really like their version of this song, i dont think this is a really good example of what their typical music is.
1493. Santa Claus: it was a protest to the vietnam war
1494. Christian1403: Royal Beggars by Architects!
1495. Julia Gonzalez: Listen to Sound of Silence WITHOUT the music...promise, a whole new experience
1496. deansusandylan: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel wrote this during unrest in the 60's over Vietnam
1497. Steven Cooper: The tree of life holds the beat
1498. Taimur Hussain: you gotta do STRICKEN, that is the original disturbed sound.
1499. Pat Rauch: Soulfly - Jumpdafuckup
1500. Henrik Frederiksen: didnt know simon and Garfunkel made sound of silence .. holy shit ..... you guy's it's a frekkin classic for gods sake .. gezzz, BUT i agree, it is imho the best cover of it
1501. ALet338: One of my favorite things ever is when hard metal bands do quiet, slow songs. It shows a depth of talent and a love for the artistry that you don't see very often
1502. Steve Kozlowski: I'm not a big Disturbed fan... But this cover? Man, what a fucking masterpiece
1503. sgtpetersen: He had a dream of the future. Sound of Silence. Go to a place where young people and in many cases older people, all sitting around a table and no one is speaking to the group. Everyone is on the phone texting. Phone = Neon God. Text = Talking without Speaking. This is my 16th Reaction Video today. This song came out in 1964.
1504. TrenchToast: So first great reaction guys haha! As for the lyrics of the song.. "Hello darkness my old friend" is a reference to how they would inspire themselves to write lyrics. They would go into a concentration chaimber and it would be pitch black in there.. This song was written durring the peak of the Cold War and the US and Russia were testing nukes left and right.. those are the reference of the "Neon gods" This is an anti-government song perceiving the separation between the people and Government that was extremely high during these times.. Disturbed's cover of this is powerfull yes, but what aids that power is how relevant the lyrics of the song are in todays time and how almost all of us can relate to in one form or another. Sorry Go Caps! Im from VA cut me some slack! Haha!
1505. Kayla Thigpen: also, thanks for saying he looks like Howie. I can't unsee that now.
1506. Geoff Wheeler: No "OOH WAAH AAH AAH AAH" = fail for Disturbed. Nah just kidding they nailed that song
1507. TRINITY MOFFETT: Love this song. First heard the original in junior high. But the remake..the orchestra is freaking beautiful. His voice, amazing. Just a beautiful remake through and through.
1508. thomas harris: That one makes me cry every time
1509. tra731: Only for the weak by In Flames! Super catchy guitar riffs
1510. Jvaughn: Hahaha...my reaction too!! Listen to Down with the Sickness!! Better representation of the band...they are awesome.
1511. Andrew Gonos: I love that your react was very similar to mine the first time that I heard it. Even the interpretation. Simon and Garfunkel's version seemed to be coming from a viewpoint of despair. Disturbed's rendition seemed to come from rage, being upset at what was happening.
1512. DieWithRegret 5: Tool - No Quarter
1513. Scott Glover: best cover of all time is Alien Ant Farm Smooth Criminal ...imo
1514. Peg E: Mainstream
1515. Dirk Mullins: Chris Cornell did a cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. You'll love it
1516. FreakshowsCircus: Born to die by Black Stone Cherry
1517. Justin McKinley: Between The Buried & Me - The Coma Machine. I’m surprised you haven’t hit them yet, you’ve already hit so many prog metal greats
1518. Joey Arce: Myles Kennedy- Love can only heal
1519. Koningkriebel: lol the glasses speaks allot and says nothing. prototype
1520. Dr Derelict: Howie...soul patch. You guys were great as usual. Try out Faster Pussycat - House of Pain
1521. 1ofsolitude: My name is mud, yes
1522. wofra67: People talking without speaking People hearing without listening = in my opinion it´s like when you cut out all the senseless small talk this world would be very silent.
1523. grillchirre: Second chance SEPULTURA!! *Desperate Cry *Territory *Nomad *Sarcastic Existence Come on guys, you are long overdue
1524. Modnar621: Try some symphonic metal! Good songs to start with: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken; Epica - Unleashed; Within Temptation - A Demon's Fate
1525. JeffOf813: To be honest, I've always disliked disturbed for the same reason I don't like Nickelback... Because they both take their naturally decent voice, and purposely exaggerate certain qualities of it to give them a unique voice... Like anyone can go from a phyll Collins style, without the autotune, to a Creed or pearljam style as long as they don't have to do crazy hard notes. Like try it yourself, try to sing ordinary people by John legend, and notice that you will go deeper than normal because statistically your voice is higher than his... Now just put a lot of air and pretend your Creed... You and everyone else in the world can do this, it's like a form of falsetto... It's false, it's not real, if Nickelback stopped doing it they would sound like foofighters voice wise but the music wouldn't be as good as foofighters. If breaking benjamin stopped doing it they would sound like new found glory before they tried to change their vocal style to be more like simple plan cuz they were popular at the time. It just feels like talking to a stripper, like really? You can't hear the insincerity in her voice?
1526. Lori McKinney: I love this cover probably even more than the original...I was surprised to see so many comment that they didn't like it at all,not even a itty bit.
1527. Chris Latham: Good cover but I can think of 10 songs that represent this band better. Warrior, The Animal, Prayer, Indestructible, Stupify, Just Stop, Stricken, Ten Thousand Fists and Down with the Sickness. And Metallica"s cover of Turn the Page is a better cover.
1528. TRUEMIXEDBLOOD: Great pick! More Gojira song reactions!!!!
1529. Pinball Wizard: Third eye By tool!!!!!!!!! Judith by a Perfect Circle!!!!!! Love this song keep it up guys
1530. Luca Signorelli: This is nowhere near the best cover of all time. Not even the best cover by the band - they did a better job of land of confusion
1531. Julie Wilson: STFU!!!
1532. lbialk: Extremely rude.
1533. Ree McLaughlin: Please don't attack. I think the song is, and has always been depressing. He's got a powerful voice, but this is too dark. I want to be uplifted by music. When I'm down I blast 'Dee-Lite, Groove is in the Heart'. Really love you guys, and this channel. 💋✌🏼
1534. Nick Kapa: Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold!
1535. Bob Morse: Ever try genius.com? Explains the lyrics of songs with input from the songwriter/artist.
1536. BUCKSLAYER: This is the video that brought me to this channel.
1537. Syed Khalid: Please do RapMan by Logic. It is from wayyyy back in the day before even Young Sinatra 1.
1538. Peace Sells but WHO'STURNINGTHEFRICKIN'FROGSGAY?: I hate this cover so much lmao
1539. Vikes218: Cool Show. Everyone has a Storied, although Rushed Existence. Do Not Let The Snake Bite You In The Ascot. Just Ask The Smart Rich People Advertising 'No! It's A Scam!', to use Poetic Paraphrasing. Isn't it Ironic, FTW.
1540. David Vargas: Skindred - “Kill the Power” !!! 🤘
1541. The Backwards Bear: I think the writer of that song had a prophetic dream about twitter and face book. Its is a perfect description of the decisive self indulgent atmosphere you can find on the platforms.
1542. Max Contreras: Im just saying its a great intro to a great song😂
1543. Lemmy Winks: Estas Tonne, Song of the dragon
1544. momin ansari: PORCUPINE TREE- ARRIVING SOMEWHERE BUT NOT HERE
1545. Erik Back: You guys should react to a song by Cake. Every single song of theirs is great, so it's hard to recommend one. But a good one that's pretty popular is The Distance.
1546. ron milman: Orphaned Land- Halo Dies!
1547. Kayla Thigpen: the song was written in 64, it could be about fame, or a musical interpretation of segregation.
1548. Thanos Nikolopoulos: Your faces close to the end of the song were all it was needed to be said... Great, powerful voice that you don't expect to hit such high and powerful notes in this song... Great cover of a timeless classic!
1549. Terezi Pyrope: I know you guys have enjoyed Rush a decent amount before, so if you're ever looking to do another Rush song, I'd recommend something from their synth era, like The Big Money or Grand Designs.
1550. Brian Bulluck: NO NO NO NO best cover was Foo Fighters Bakers street!!!! Plz review
1551. Tony Sorrow: +DragonsKindler disturbed is awesome when they do covers.
1552. Doggo: We need more Disturbed!
1553. Jason Dole: My interpretation is overall. The songs be I g sung have no meaning, you hear with out listening. Bowing to a neon god... Music has lost its way. Consumerism has taken the place of any art crrated for the sake of art.
1554. Sycan Media: You’ll really dig their first album with the track “voices” or “stupify”. They also kill the Genesis cover of “Land of Confusion”. ...but first you should do “Mudvayne - World so Cold”
1555. Blake Shelt: waste of time ..
1556. Brian Wilson: I've always taken the song to be social commentary speaking to the fact that modernization and technology have become more important that face-to-face communication. The song starts out as if the writer is just like everyone else until he has a dream about The Silence. Then he literally sees the light when the lyrics say that his eyes were stabbed by a neon light. This light split the night (or darkness) and in the (new) naked light he could finally recognize the scope of how The Silence impacts everyone. Great breakdown from you guys.
1557. Jason Stone: Working Man by Rush!
1558. Simen Fulland: Best cover ever candidates: Jimi Hendrix With Bob Dylan's "all along the watchtower", and Eddie Vedder's Version of Dylan's "masters of war" live from Dylan's 50'th birthday tribute concert;-)
1559. jens möller: Original is a billion times cooler and better..this sounds unnecessarily heavy, dark and sad...there is much more joy and space in the original
1560. Endorphins27: Who doesn’t know the original....especially at his age. Common man.
1561. Savage Dawgs Highlights: Ice Nine Kills - Stabbing in the Dark! Just came out yesterday and it’s about Halloween and Michael Myers. The whole album it’s on is about horror movies. Great metal band. Very theatrical.
1562. Zach Henderson: Give Shinedown's cover of simple man a chance. I believe you guys will enjoy it.
1563. T.J. Cunningham: This seems like it can spell the end for Disturbed in a way. They were already a successful band but this cover put them into icon status, but just for this song. Now I’m not all that familiar with their catalog, but I’ve never heard a song from them in this style. They’ll get credit from the ignorant that they wrote this song as well. So a song that isn’t theirs is the peak of their career, where do they go? Will further records be listened to or will they have to try to repeat this formula.
1564. Brandon Austin: Zombie by Bad Wolves is absolutely amazing! Y’all should listen to it next
1565. Ryan Strope: S&G's version is a warning about what they felt was coming with our society when they wrote the song Disturbed's version is reflecting and righteous anger at the the fact what S&G predicted has already come to pass but in a far worse way than they imagined
1566. Steven Page: You should react to. Disturbed-A reason to fight.
1567. Сергей Корнят: disturbed - shitty band
1568. Paul Novak: Guys, that was a very good observation where you noted the difference in the power and inflection. The meaning did not change. but Disturbed took it from subtle and haunting, to powerful and hammering.
1569. A-M Legault: Love this cover, but for me, the "best" cover is still Johnny Cash - Hurt (original by NIN)
1570. Shawn Buckels: Needed to see/hear the live version from conan
1571. Brian Panther: Deaf people! Speaking with hands. Singing songs with hands. Nobody hears what you are saying. It thought this was simple to interpret. I appreciate your analogy. Everyone walks away with their own interpretation.
1572. Infinite Fantasy: You guys should do Bonnie Raitt’s classic “I can’t make you love me” as your next country song
1573. ec1122: Can y'all do Blue October?? The end, fear, sway, any man in America, flight ( Lincoln to Minneapolis) I could go on but any Blue October would be awesome.. Please please thank y'all
1574. thrilla69x: Silence is a person; it's the devil. The people are in Hell writing the rock music for the neon God we created, the entertainment industry. It's about selling your soul to be a musician.
1575. Kyle Barnes: This cover is an absolute masterpiece. Like many people said in the comments, this is not a "typical" Disturbed song, this cover kinda came out of nowhere as they are a metal band. Their best known songs are Stricken, Down With The Sickness, 10,000 fists, and possibly Indestructible. Should check those out.
1576. Steve Kozlowski: Second chance on Faith no More please! Ashes to Ashes, Ricochet, or Stripsearch
1577. jay 86: You guys want a good cover of a song you should react to zombie by the cranberries cover by bad wolves.
1578. John McKenna: I’m not the keen on this. There’s a lot of artists now taking songs and playing them slowly and softly which to me is a cheap trick. It’s so easy to do. I don’t think there is genuine emotion behind it since it’s not their song and musically it’s less interesting than the original. Compare this to what Hendrix did to All Along The Watchtower by Bob Dylan or LED Zeppelin To InMy Time Of Dying. Or what Joe Cocker did with With A Little Help From My Friends by the Beatles. They took a song and added to it. Added textures and changes to it that elevated it but was also their own. These stripped down versions just leave you with less. By the way, recommend The Who - Behind Blue Eyes or Won’t Get Fooled Again
1579. Isaiah Boyd: The sing is about people not able to communicate and love one another, the neon god is a TV set, people watch it and its like a God to them, they have no time for others cause there to into worshiping there TVs so to speak
1580. Tavaija Stevens: Yo i got put on to Down with the sickness in high school never knew how much I liked rock until then
1581. Johnny Rosiek: Guys you have to do another take on Ghost! I suggest Ghost - Rats
1582. J L: James Brown Of course Paul Simon would say that so he could make money off of people that have horrible taste in music.
1583. K L: Flotsam & Jetsam - No Place for Disgrace(unmastered). Old school thrash metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBE3mXKKw40
1584. 501Bloo: Things haven't changed much. There's much more fake/perpetual division in media than ever before tho. Ppl are slowly waking up to see commonality within community. It's small, but I feel it's still there.
1585. ayeee160113: This is Halloween by marilyn Manson!!!
1586. Garland Pierce: One of my favorite bands, not only because of their music but they are pro Police, Military, and Veteran. Being a veteran myself that carries a lot weight
1587. Simondini Hernan: Rata Blanca - La Leyenda Del Hada Y El Mago REACTION, c mon dudes,, listen that song,, the guitar solo is the best everrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1588. ricardo silva: Now listen to NEVERMORE's version of that song to see what a real cover is about
1589. Ren: Yo that Howie comment was funny!!
1590. Sherry Garcia: You got the meaning of the song well...but stop and consider the generations. In the Simon & Garfunkel era...things were..."Love one another, Peace not War, Stick to the man & Don't Conform! Now we have a new version! Don't let technology rob us of our voice! The song will always be accurate for every generation and for different reasons. However, it IS one of the FEW covers that all generations appreciated...Keep up the work & God Bless~
1591. GregDaGoblin: Roller by April Wine. Under-rated band that never gets the love they deserve.
1592. Jeff RoTull: Well that fear was well founded.
1593. Juan Cortez: You ruined this reaction with your pausing...cant feel this song with so much stoping gj
1594. Julien Le Cléach: they did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6rv5Wb4LEE&t=626s
1595. Ricardo Catarino: Loved disturbed in my teens, and still have a space in my heart and mind for them, but i still prefer James Blake’s cover. But this an awesome interpretation of the song of course, mostly because sometimes sadness can lead to saturation and that saturation leads to rage and anger. Society can do that, and certainly does, and that is quite evident and portrayed in this beautiful cover... but still... the James Blake is my favourite cover.
1596. Higgs666: Yea, he looks like Howie. Been saying it for years.
1597. MarkB 1181: 😂 y'all right! The lead singer do look a little like Howie Mandel. I hadn't heard this cover, but they definitely didn't disappoint. Cool music video too.
1598. Diesel_addiction479: Yes! I requested this yesterday! Awesome!
1599. Misty Summer: Now listen to Down with Sickness and you'll really appreciate his voice.
1600. Pablo Richard Fernandez: The neon god they made = consumerism = the thing that keeps us from community...
1601. roastbeefdinner: the guy on the left of screen gets it immediately...the guy on the right is looking for reasons not to like it. its a good combination of opinions.
1602. dawn henderson: Ooh also!!!!!! PLEASE react to the Black Crows, She Talks to Angels!!! I promise you if you put up a poll for this song it will blow up ur IG! 1 of the most powerful, moving songs of all time! It means a lot to me because I listened to it thru losing my father and my Aunt (who was more like a mother to me)... My dad, a Navy Vet, to Pancreatic Cancer and my Aunt, who was only 40!!!! To a brain aneurism... This song may help someone else who hasn't heard it yet. Extremely powerful and moving. I honestly think that you guys would love it and it would mean THE WORLD TO ME! I hope to see you guys do it sometime. I will be looking out as I watch all your vids <3 Keep up the amazing work! Love the REAL reactions I have come to expect and love from 2 of my favorite YouTubers out there! #FreeThinkerSquad
1603. SlimGoody: PLEASE PLEASE DO EVERLAST - WHAT IT'S LIKE!!!! 🔥👂💣💥🔥🎼
1604. Mormont: Check out indestructible by disturbed
1605. Tony CorCoran: Worst cover ever, It is painful to hear.
1606. Dave Bentley: +Kevin Jones I'm planning on 65 more. I doubt I'll make it but you gotta' stay positive.
1607. Jordan Briggs: He remade the song to mourn 9/11 and the people lost because of it. The build of the song was signafy the U.S. and how we came together in a time of need.
1608. Al Mendez: Should have done striken
1609. Kevin W: Stevie Ray Vaughn!
1610. Genevieve Beyer: Neon god, could stand for a man made god or idol, imo.
1611. Brian Oxford: I don't care for this mellow stuff they do. I love their metal stuff they do though. Checkout there other stuff no a cover song.
1612. Scott Feeney: Sorry guys but what you’ve failed to comprehend is that when this was written and performed originally, there were no clips accompanying each song, it was a SONG that reflected the social times that were current. It was as a haunting piece that spoke to a new groundbreaking generation. Your comments unfortunately are mere hyperbole when trying to explain the lyrics today.
1613. Skavar4000: How about you do the LAME lyrics analysis AFTER the fucking song...
1614. IamBigNizz: Best cover of all time? Get that weak stuff outta here. That autotuned bull shit makes my penis soft. Check out Bobaflex's cover of the same God damn song!
1615. IronInfidel: You two tools made yourselves insta-memes for retardedness. Congratulations thats hard to do.
1616. Stuart Lumsden: ...and a bald, pierced Kevin Pollack
1617. zuparoeban: This is a really good cover but unfortunately it doesn't really represent the music that Disturbed makes. You should do a reaction of Inside The Fire Also do Sabaton sometime
1618. Pat Kelly: I bet this is the sort of band Vets play whilst they shoot up their local mall/cinemaplex
1619. Geneva Smith: I'm so sorry, I know I'm commenting a lot, but you should react to Disturbed, 'Down with the Sickness' and see the contrast of what you just heard. That's a sic song!😀😊
1620. ayeee160113: Yes this is the best cover of sound of silence. but this is no means the best of disturbed. Go listen to facade. Deceiver. Hell go listen to the entire indestructible album!!!
1621. Goldenthrone Music: Yes, I want them to do Nightwish so bad. With all the Nightwish requests they have been getting, it's only a matter of time. Hopefully they choose a good introductory song though.
1622. Play4Blood: Unfortunate choice of songs for your introduction to Disturbed. Hopefully you guys come back soon with an actual Disturbed song.
1623. m4570d0n: please do PROTEST THE HERO
1624. nick w: when people say best cover their not always just refering to this title. . but alot of people say best cover of any song ever
1625. KCReese100: I hope Paul Simon watches this and explains his lyrics because I'm just as confused as you are. I love the song, though. I always loved the original, but, dare I say, this one was better. Thanks for reviewing this one. You guys are amazing and I wish I could sit down and have a beer with you.
1626. GuitarsNStrings 4Things: Maybe do more Disturbed then! -Down With The Sickness -Remember -Ten Thousand Fists -Perfect Insanity
1627. Wade Hensley: Guys....Ten Thousand Fists, and DEIFY are amazing tracks from Disturbed. Even if you dont review them, check em out.
1628. Tore Wagner: This cover is cancer, his voice is so strained it sounds like he's about to shit himself, overly produced crap that takes away everything that is great about the original.
1629. zombiepixlez gamer: I know it wasn't that big of a problem then but now it seems to be about the left silencing others beliefs at least in a more modern take
1630. Auðbjörg Ósk Guðjónsdóttir: takk strákar, from iceland, ekki flókið
1631. Xander Page: Venom
1632. James Marsh: I do enjoy the different perspectives on the meaning of the song in the video and comments
1633. LongandWeirdName: Oldschool neon signs had a very distinct hum. One you could only hear in complete silence. They also usually spelled out words in a silent but flashy, so, in a way, loud way. Just two seemingly obvious things to remember while interpreting this one.
1634. Joseph Palaszewski: Need to do What it’s Like by Everlast
1635. Hexx Bombastus: Sound of silence is a great cover by Disturbed, but you should definitely listen to some of their original songs. Stupify, Liberate, Ten Thousand Fists... They have tons of great songs and also tons of great covers.
1636. Frank: Rage Rider They need to experience the beauty of early 2000's drivel.
1637. Art Kierstead: Their remake of Shout is really well done as well....
1638. Baz: Down With The Sickness next
1639. Chris S.: So you might say that George is... Disturbed by the soul patch. LMAO! Sorry for the terrible pun guys, I just couldn't help myself.
1640. Eduardo F: I hate this cover so much..hahaha
1641. David Freeman: Accept : Fast as a Shark
1642. Joseph Harris: Youve heard Disturbed before. Everyone knows Down with the Sickness
1643. Paul Morris: the vocal coaches all seem to review the version they did on Conan's show
1644. Keunt: its sounds like a cheesy talent show cover to me.
1645. Ecaidian TwitchTV: Still need that 3rd dose of JINJER...should give Cloud Factory a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg8tiRyXujQ
1646. MichiganFresh 0013: To truly inderstand the depth of this song you need to consider it was released in 1964. It puts a lot of things into perspective about the type of technology that was abundent and how people were so seperated with segregation and politics. This was a time of silent protests for many while also watchi lng those who did speak out get beaten, unjustly imprisoned, and killed for going against the norm. Wjile on the otherhand tje US was reling from the death of JFK even though he was most likely to lose has re-election from rocling the bpat a bot too much, this shook the world. But if more people spoke their true feelings and broke the silence that perpetuated these atrocities then the small voices would have broken the darkness.
1647. Ron Wilson: Always like hearing your ideas with the lyrics
1648. Andrew Ray: Lol mother fucker does look like Howie Mandel
1649. Pwn: My interpretation of this beautiful song. I think it is refering to peoples failure to communicate. "prayed to the neon god they made"= Media
1650. Jennifer Nein: I am a fan of the original also but this version is powerful. The video and the song speaks about the difference between classical music and new age music. In my opinion, The neon god is referring to new age music and instruments again in my opinion. I am a Trombone player, went through Concert, jazz and marching band in school. It's a dying trait now a days. kids aren't learning from the former masters in the music field anymore. We're raising them and they're not being taught about them. They have no idea anymore about those musics that came before this day and age of music.
1651. Bleumoon Zen: Oppression
1652. SadwichPunch2100: If you guys wanna listen to more Disturbed check out either "Stricken", "10,000 Fists", or "Down With The Sickness".
1653. Justin Constable: +Dick Van Dyke I saw them live at Ozzfest/Knotfest within the last few years and people were talking shit on them in the crowd. They did a really good job and I've been a fan for years though.
1654. Lissa R: Personally I have always felt that in a way the song is about depression/lack of understanding of what others are going through.
1655. Andrea Young: You guy are great, but not this cover song.
1656. J L: ROEM Millions of people liked “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. It doesn’t mean it’s good music.
1657. Philip MacDonald: Yuck, what a disgrace. It takes a special kind of shitty band to turn an awesome song into decomposing trash.
1658. TheSupradude26: +Joseph Druar song was released in 1963. Crazy how accurate it is now, 56 years later on how technology has silenced the masses...
1659. TOMMY SALAMI: Shouldn't have stopped it. Now I wont watch the rest of the video.
1660. StephenRahrig: Second chance—Sevendust “Black” please!! Song will rock your asses 🤙🏼
1661. Diana Stojkovic: Please listen to this. This is Disturbed. That rocks. You don't have to react.. But please check it. 😊 https://youtu.be/09LTT0xwdfw
1662. Brian Seymour: Chris Davies double on Knights of Cydonia
1663. Chrystle Ayer: About time you guys got around to this!
1664. Andres Hurtado: Please do an album review of the sin and the sentence. Keep up the hard work
1665. Aveek Biswas: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Stricken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1666. Levi Smith: John mayer live
1667. Michael Adkins: I haven't seen you guys do any Shinedown yet. I would like see you guys do Sound Of Madness.
1668. Cheri Finkbiner: Disturbed totally deserved there award. Crazy about this song!!!
1669. Matthew Barnes: Hail to the king- Avenge sevenfold
1670. marvelmaniac88: Chevelle - Any of these songs: Family System, The Clincher, Safer Waters, Humanoid, A New Momentum, Clones, An Island.
1671. 777 shieldoffaith: please play pink Floyd shine on you crazy diamond
1672. xXG3TPWNEDXx: hey guys, whats going on? i never would have figured you guys would listen to this kind of music? why the sudden shift or you just wanted to broaden your horizons? just looking for a bit of insight. much love.
1673. ghalion20: DISTURBED IS MY FAVOURITE HEAVY METAL BAND - PLEASE DO STUPIFY AND I GUARANTEE PURE FIRE
1674. Phyllis 9654: Can you please do a reaction video to, Lost On You by LP. She is an absolutely wonderful singer.
1675. Zangdar01: I prefer the original and the Sharleen Spiteri's cover. Request : Audioslave : Like a stone.
1676. Kaizoku-o: Question. What makes a cover a "perfect cover "? Cuz i think Death's painkiller cover is perfect.... also their God of Thunder cover of KISS lol
1677. Rob K. Wonder: Love it! I suggest Yngwie Malmsteen -- Trilogy Dream Suite. Tell Ryan to prepare for his jaw to drop.
1678. kotelikessweets: Mercenary - Firesoul I dunno if posting it again and again, and again, but on patreoned reviews gonna work. That`s definetly a song you will enjoy and get into.
1679. John Mincey: the neon god i believe is technology...people have lost the ability for face to face conversation and interaction....people are so caught up in man made technology...cellphones, video games....etc...not saying they are bad, but they are detrimental....social media divides....for example bullying...thanks so much guys keep doing tthese videos
1680. filip: Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses please react!
1681. Dina Huston: Just found you guys tonight. Happen to love this song. Both versions. But i was thinking I should look up when this was written and consider what was going on at that time. It’s crazy that it seems like it could’ve been written today. I subscribed. I’m intrigued!
1682. WillJM81280: Marvelous cover. But did David Draiman have to have his mug up there for half the video?
1683. Laura Ylönen: You guys motivate me to do video about explain this video ,MAYBE I WILL
1684. john perry: very could not best cover i dont it could haven i had a stroke month ago and no talk and hear . im do metter and i know my songs but all words are gone but i think joe cocker is the best coders of all or are to best sorry imy words not good
1685. G-Funk 1: What?! Are you serious?
1686. Shibatron: Todd Hoffman from gold rush did a better cover of this song.
1687. Dave H: Dooooiiiiit! Judith!!
1688. Teq Bob: My first hear of it, too.  Great cover of a song I'm familiar with.   I'll add it to my play list.  Thanks for sharing.   Having said that, I don't know that it is the greatest cover of all time.  But, I do put it up there with the Pointer Sisters' 1978 cover of "Fire" by Bruce Springsteen.  Please review and react to their wonderful cover.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNCIs3eTP-U
1689. Harley Hunter: Those are piercings not a soul patch he had them removed not to long ago
1690. Eric Holladay: I never understood this song's popularity. In my opinion, it's not a good cover of the original and not a good representation of Disturbed.
1691. Jucas Lohnson: More Disturbed
1692. Tarek BENALI: Opeth - would ! Please guys
1693. Aschell: I've followed you guys since you started doin requests for the Rattpack way back, and I've just gotta say (without tryna blow hot air up your asses 😂) you two do these "Reaction" type videos very well. Most people who do these, people come to for their genuine reactions when listening to their favorite songs. With you two, not only do you guys work together as friends so well, but I think you two are really intelligent guys, and you give actual input that comes from listening to music for so long, and just being open minded with everything. You guys also are some of the only ones who pick apart and decipher lyrics the way you do, as you guys are usually spot on when you do it. The icing on the cake though is you guys are funny as hell, and sometimes I'll be over here laughin loud as hell in the middle of the night. You guys feed off eachother well, and I hope this can blossom into somethin a little more lucrative for you, but as long as you're havin fun (which I can tell you are) that's all that matters
1694. Rose Ryan: I clicked thinking it was the Simon and Garfunkel version. Didn't have a clue what Disturbed was. LOL.. While this version is ok, I still think Simon and Garfunkel's is better. The slower haunting tempo of their version affected me more than this one. Love that you guys are bring different genres of music to people.
1695. rob procctvcameras: Its the people that qrote songs who cant play them and rhe people who play them cant write them And finally in the end they get together. Thus the sounds of silence Bc of no music there is the sounds of silence They would rather have no music and look at the tvs instead of music. No playing music and no writing music just tv
1696. Kim Frebrowski: The neon God is a nuclear bomb
1697. Big Ice: Disturbed - The Night
1698. XerDav: i can tell this wasn't quite their music, but they are good at being unbiased in their reviews
1699. Marilee Cornelius: David has a huge range tho?
1700. Mayor of R'lyeh: I never saw the point of cover versions, especially of songs that are legendary in their own right. Disturbed's version is well-executed but adds little to nothing that would justify the hype. The original beats this sterile version out of the water any day and Disturbed should better focus on writing great songs themselves instead of cashing in on other people's creative output. Add this as a hidden track or whatever if you want to pay respect and homage to S&G but putting this out as a single is just lame and lazy and a tell-tale sign of the ship of your own creativity sinking.
1701. Tbone Done: Love you guys but save the REACTION and thoughts for when the song is done. Get the impact of the flow of the song and then comment. Peace.
1702. Zebulon Swearingen: TheUnholyOne I was thinking the same exact thing. That would be a logical song to follow it, 10,000.
1703. Salvatiionz Plays: Think he sounds good on the original video... Try listening to the live video of him on Conan singing this song.. AMAZING!
1704. Pablo Richard Fernandez: Living life by the drop.
1705. Draun In Chalk: DevilDriver - Hangman's Noose -- #playlist
1706. zed4672: Um...
1707. Roger Barton: The song is great he’s voice is great. The song was from the mid 60s though so those were trying times for everyone. Fear of nuclear war. People struggling to accept one another. And Vietnam thrown in that mix. Everyone had opinions. And violence was everywhere. And peace was being dreamed of by everyone. Weird times.
1708. Aclownin1: What you're calling a soul patch are piercings. Look close you'll see his soul patch is stainless. Lol
1709. john k: Disturbed "Hell" is a good one.
1710. Stephen Beddard: Surprised you haven't done this song yet. Good choice
1711. Bama Rush: Disturubed ruined that song.
1712. Rohit Ninan: Guys!!!! Please do give Periphery a second chance!!!..... Wouod love to hear your thoughts on Absolomb or The bad thing!
1713. MOONSHADOW 1918: People talking without speaking . Is Heaven we communicate with feelings not words
1714. Becerra24x16: Would love to see y'all react to "Tame Impala - the less I know the better" its alt. Rock with a funk bass line and a Pink Floyd/disco sound. You guys are the best at reactions. Love the way you guys break down a song. I pay attention to music the way you guys do but I don't explain on the same level as y'all. Thank you!
1715. Deanna Morford: Pre metal glam rock, just barely . The band Journey with Steve Perry ,Don’t stop believ’n, or wheels in the sky! Simon and Garfunkel were during the Vietnam war era and wrote a lot of songs during this time period. I love you guys!
1716. Jessica Fifelski: Check out Garth Brooks “More than a Memory” pleeeeeeeeaseee!!!!🙏
1717. Steve Akerlund: I would like to request: Audioslave - Like A Stone RIP Chris Cornell
1718. Anthony Barnett: Yessssssssss
1719. Dylan Hedderich: Disturbed - Prayer
1720. HarbyDrenden: I think the original meaning of this song is a warning to all of us to not get to a point where we can't talk to each other. Sadly, I think we've gone past that point and I don't know if we can get back there without something terrible happening.
1721. Rishad l: Damn I interrupted the sound of silence as a good thing. People talking without any speaking, people hearing without listening I took it as everyone was in tune each other 😩
1722. Steven Tunis: Silence like a cancer grows is one of my favorite sayings ever.
1723. Mark Ambrose: Try, children of the sun - Billy Thorpe
1724. Brikxz: Stoopid dropped today y’all should watch that
1725. fightclubhubbs: Excellent reaction. I never saw you guys so drawn into a song before. You only paused the video 3 or 4 times during the entire song speaks to how powerful the song sucked you in. Also I recommend Machinehead's A Farewell To Arms.
1726. KPhoenix: I had to give a thumbs down, this is a subjective world, we all feel something different. I feel you completely missed the entire purpose of the song, but yet again I am speaking for myself. You did a good job explaining why, so I guess at the end of this I wonder if I should have done a thumbs down because I disagree or a thumbs up because you spilled your opinions and truths, I am conflicted. Guide me oh great free thinkers
1727. MetalizedButt: React to dimash s.o.s
1728. The10Liam: Idk why people are shitting on this cover, it's distinct, unique and clearly different from its original. I love this cover, definitely not better than the original, but still great IMO.
1729. Shawn Goad: When you guys hit old country again, you should check out Boy Named Sue, by Johnny Cash. Great story and funny.
1730. JD: The neon god they made is a reference to television. Lots of kids in the comments here talkin about texting. No this song is 1 older than you and 2 older than most modern tech. Go research the 1950s and see how families lived with their first TVs.
1731. Mark M: Soilwork - Father and Son Watching the World go Down
1732. transmit13: Howie Mandel would be a better front man for this comical joke of a music atrocity.
1733. nic olson227: Do "Stricken" by DISTURBED. Gotta do it!
1734. riec0123: This version of the song is awful. Just terrible
1735. Hunter Doucette: React to STRICKEN, OPEN YOUR EYES, and ARE YOU READY 😁😎😎 by far my favorite songs from them✊✊🤘💪💪💪
1736. Phillip Masters: Disturbed sons of plunder
1737. FallingFromWillows 511: I always felt like neon God's meant neon signs. Simon and Garfunkel didn't come from too much technology era outside of television and radio. Love both song. But Disturbed made it something to hit me hard on the days I need a big ol slap in the face. You guys did good. As usual. I think i even subscribed to you two a few months ago. I dunno. I never subscribe anymore to anything. YouTube does it for me. Pisses me off. So I refuse to subscribe to anything out of silent and pointless protest. But you guys are on my subscriptions and I'm pretty sure I was the one to hit the button and I'm glad I did. As close to unbias as human beings can get. And incredibly open to all genres. That's whats up. Do you only do songs you don't know? Would love to see throw backs or your fave classics. Raekwon's Purple Tape, some classics on there, would be cool to bring it back a little. My personal favorite. Or some old Camp Lo. Or anything from the older days. No one plays anything that gets the juices flowing anymore. But if y'all only do unknowns then I get it.
1738. Kohlton Bendowski: Ted Nugent-Stranglehold!!!
1739. Kevin Warburton: i like this cover but i think land of confusion is better.
1740. GasparLewis: The band itself is alright once in a while, they had a few moments here and there that I'll give them credit to, but I am... I'm not a fan over their covers. And the video being so literal to the lyrics is corny as hell, man. "Doesn't he look like Howie Mandel?" KILLED me though LMAO
1741. hoosd42: Bill Burki no it’s an echo pedal
1742. uncle B: Valiant effort.not a fan
1743. Kathryn Edwards: Yes! Yes! Yes! That is exactly!!!! What the original was teaching! The neon god is technology and "progress" over people and community! Omg so perfect! Great video thank you.
1744. Jeana Harris: You are very right from the original and this remake people aren’t listening to each other and we are all ignoring the issues
1745. manimal667: You did NOT give Jinjer a redemption. JINJER LIVE "WHO IS GONNA BE THE ONE!" JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER, JINJER!
1746. Christopher Galat: Hey, maybe I'm alone but Wintersun "Sons of Winter and Stars"
1747. Zach Clark: This
1748. NobleBoysProduction: White Trash Story-Casey Donnahew
1749. Scott Hobbs: I always picture people who listen to disturbed as the same people who always ask to speak to the manager.
1750. Indulging Idiot: "we don't know what we just heard...", "My words like silent raindrops fall...". I take away from this visualization that's the masses, "ten thousand people maybe more..." Have the answers to their problems ie they're holding all the music sheets but "they dare not disturb the sound of silence" they would rather remain silent or they don't know how to express their issues. But a small group of people can understand them, the musicians can read their music sheets, "people writing songs that voices never share...". "Fools, I said silence like a cancer grows..." The longer you avoid it the worse it gets, "the people bowed and prayed to the neon gods they made..." They seek comfort in the materialism and consumerism of society rather than face "the sounds of silence" and hear the music they've written.
1751. Christopher Juneman: You guys should check out All That Remains- This Calling
1752. Dondoran: For that Howie Mandel comment, you need to react to Haken - "The Endless Knot"
1753. Ginger Hammer: Hey you guys like Myles Kennedy? You guys should listen to World on Fire by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Don't watch the video though as it contains tiddies lol
1754. Patrick Luce: worst cover song ever.....
1755. TOAOM123: Who would wanna buy pieces of shells?
1756. fonso: I feel like I'm the only person who likes the original more than this. Give that a listen to some time.
1757. J T: BREAKING BENJAMIN - RED COLD RIVER!!!!
1758. Richard Underwood: I want see if you children watch the video and listen to the cats in cradle by ugly kid Joe and that song has a lot of meaning behind it and I would like see what you have to say about it
1759. call me Ishmael: No it actually wasnt..it was a dream or a vision that I think Paul Simon had about people no longer coming together and even though this song was made in the 60s i feel like it applies more to todays generation.
1760. Bryan McDowell: I avoided this for a long time because I despise Disturbed. Saw they did a reaction and said screw it I'll try it. Meh. Dont care for it. Definitely not "the best cover ever."
1761. Bill W W: Too funny you got a like after Howie Mandel .
1762. joe kennedy: Its suppose to be about people inability to communicate. There is also a rumer that its about the jfk assassination.
1763. Stephen Begbie: Listen .... to the sound.... of auto-tune.
1764. redstarsot: OK OK now you've listened to disturbed's cover , just give a chance to the REAL cover of this classic by Nevermore. Whole different level
1765. jay legere: Amazing cover. But Johnny Cash Hurt is the best cover of all time.
1766. USP .40: Great guys! You are so close to the meaning of this song. Keep digging into the lyrics. It is so encouraging to see young people (our future) that understand we as people need to realize we are all one. Good job.
1767. David K: What a Strong and Powerful voice he has !!
1768. Robert Colvin: so true. both the original and this one are great. like Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston, Dolly had a really pretty but sad sound where as Whitney had a very powerful and soulful sound...oh lol of course i am talking about I Will Always Love You. Loved them both. Liked your review
1769. Dan W: Bad Wolves “Zombie” is another good cover
1770. Baby Boo: One of the best and his voice how much of ease he transfer the notes the words the voice. One of the very best, this Is Not about the background, my God listen to the voice.
1771. David Wiser: This song should be judge on its vocal and musical qualities of the band preforming this incredible song! Kudos to you Dave Michael Drainman, not every vocalists can switch from one singing style to the next as effortlessly as you make it look, or should I say sound. Great tone!! The fact that this song can be interpreted to conform to what is going on in the next generation just shows how incredibly timeless the song really is. Kudos to you as well Paul Simon! If Lost in Los Vegas wanted to dissect the lyrics they should have just critiqued the original. Just my thought.
1772. GimpNinja 33710: This song, this cover, is more powerful has more gravitas. This song has biblical undertones, to me. At the time the original song was written, we were in the midst of the Cold War with Russia, at the time the USSR. We had Nuclear weapons, they had Nuclear weapons. Everyone was afraid of nuclear war. The concept was known as, M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction). If everyone that has, or had at the time, nukes set them off in war it would turn the world into an uninhabitable smoking crater.
1773. Cameron Something: React to "Juno" or "Beneath My Skin" by TesseracT!!
1774. jeroen middag: Theres another gret cover of Simon and Garfunkel. Patterns bij Warrel Dane (nevermore) check it out.
1775. mark mccombs: Come on clowns!!!!!!!!!
1776. Cliedo Cladidahopper: try puddle pitty party some of his covers are amazing
1777. Mark 16:18: Finally someone gets this song. I was born in 50s grew up 60s remembering the era personally. I have listened to oodles of people react to this song. You guys are right on. As always y’all are refreshing, honest and one of the coolest channels on YouTube. I wish you the best and thank you for making the world a better place. Y’all actually speak when you talk and hear when you listen. Simon and Garfunkel were ahead of their time. Who told them about Facebook 😉
1778. Clyde Guzman: Do God smack voodoo soon I enjoyed this
1779. david fields: Lmao!!!!! Howie Mandel!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Epic!!!!! Thank you for making a extremely depressing song funny !!!!!!
1780. Daniel Romberg: Set it off!
1781. Chris Sebastian: The meaning of the song is that people have inability to communicate with each other, and therefore, can not love effectively. Neon God is technology, but not only computers, When this was written Computers were not household items, but there were Neon Signs for businesses, which there are now too. Simon and Garfunkel were thought to predict cellphones and social media. Best cover? Probably not. Great cover. Yes. “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton(David Allen Coe) is a cover. “Jolene “ by White Stripes (Dolly Parton) is a cover. “Respect” by Aretha Franklin (Otis Redding) is a cover. “I Love Rock N’ Roll” by Joan Jett (The Arrows) is actually a cover. So is “When the Levee Breaks” by Led Zeppelin(Memphis Minnie).The best covers seem to be ones that people don’t know are covers.
1782. sleepy panda: Ciara - Paint it black
1783. Tabitha Gilbert: Been wanting you to do this one hope you like it!
1784. Charles Willig: If that's your first time listening to Disturbed, check out "down with the sickness" and understand his vocal range. they've been around for awhile.
1785. Big Daddy Barb: Do some Iced Earth!!!
1786. Jeff Parker: George had an academic reaction and Ryan had a more emotional reaction. Both were great reactions! To me, the live version of their cover was even better. Thanks again for another unbiased reaction brothers!
1787. Jordan Shtamer: You guys should DEFINITELY do some laid-back Opeth. Songs like Windowpane, Harvest or Hours of Wealth.
1788. Michael Crichton: You should listen to never again by disturbed... one of my favorite songs of theirs. Their songs have very strong emotions and meaning behind them when you sit down and really listen to the lyrics.
1789. AgenteusaRR: and btw if you never heard disturbed, this one was named in Rock' Roll magazine as one of the best top 10 solos :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBv9TUQUDy0
1790. theengagedfew: Paul Simon has written so many great songs over the years, and this one is right up there. But if you wanna hear his best songs, you'll need to pick up a copy of "Graceland." Good video, guys.
1791. Krista Small: I love this song, and this song is the only reason I can get my little brother to speak again ...Like you said it is more powerful then the original.
1792. J B: I like Disturbed, but this is a poor choice for a first listen, because it doesn't represent most of their songs. Even for a cover, it is not better than Land of Confusion, in my opinion. I would have suggested Stupified or Want before or many other songs before this one.
1793. The Poor Conservative: Or 10,000 Fists
1794. smo1001: I don't think I've ever seen you guys this transfixed by a song. That has to be a record for the fewest number of pauses during a reaction!
1795. indcsion: Best cover song would be jimi hendrix all along the watchtower.
1796. Chris Ormie: Probably not going to be a popular choice, but I'd love to hear your reaction to Dappy's two songs "Straight Facts" and "Spotlight (acoustic). He was one of the first successful UK rap/grime artists who had a few setbacks (success before maturity issues) but is now showing his varied skill set and trying to make a comeback. He's a polarizing figure in the UK but one of my favourites.
1797. A box of Soap: I'd love it so much if I could get y'all to listen to Northern Fires (Guernica) by Silent Planet, or Excuse Me by Fire From The Gods :) Get y'all into some metalcore
1798. Jessica Hanson: Disturbed-down with the sickness
1799. michael new: Wouter you a motherfucker 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1800. Chris Hanson: You guys I think are close when there is this silence between people and I think music is what the song writer was trying to say brings people together I dunno great reaction and song
1801. Sergio checho: Is this better than simon and garfunkel original version? hehe people are funny ....
1802. Daryl Leto: The Vengeful One! It's on the same album.
1803. Diana Eggen: He and captures you in the beginning you listen you're noddong your head as I did but when he gets to the power point you go silent it's not the separation of communication or breaking. my friend it's a separation of Souls the prophecy is written by the time you hear 200 times you get it. fantastic song. Without our souls we are nothing dig deeper you're thinking too superficial. It's the warningwe worship everything superficial but our soul needs something else
1804. Callum McHoul: Come check out me and my friends cover of this song, and leave us some of that sweet sweet feedback! https://youtu.be/7X_OX4i784k
1805. Alexander Coburn: The best cover of all time is Hurt by Johnny Cash.. it's so good Nine Inch Nails (the original writer) said its his now.
1806. Lost In Vegas: You could be right sir!
1807. Chad Martin: Damn, I thought you guys would be more enthused about this one. Great reaction, though. It's time to give Periphery a second chance, guys! "Marigold" (official music video,) "Erised," or "Catch Fire."
1808. Григорий Табакаев: Devin Townsend is also a beast when it comes to combining clean vocals and harsh screaming.
1809. JMG Darkest: EVERYONE LIKE THE FUCKING COMMENT LOL THEY REALLY NEED TO HEAR BURIED ALIVE
1810. count down: Cx
1811. Steven Michael: Seether- Careless Whisper
1812. Kevin Dickerson: I have been waiting for you guys to do this song. It is hands down one of the greatest songs ever written and David Draiman is one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
1813. Robert McCoy: After this you need more Disturbed in your lives. Down with the Sickness Stricken Land of Confusion (cover)
1814. Hunter Martin: Shawn James - Flow
1815. Hollie Logue: Pentatonix hallelujah
1816. Sam: Paul Simon commented on the cover when he sent an email to David Draiman (Disturbed's singer) telling him that the performance was "powerful". He was referring to a live version he saw on Conan. After an understandably enthusiastic response from Draiman, Paul Simon also posted publicly on Twitter that the performance was "wonderful". Also, I don't think there has been any word from Garfunkel on the cover (though considering Paul Simon wrote it alone, I don't think it matters too much).
1817. bulletsandblood1979: Right on point. Paul was writing about television. But the point was the social disconnect
1818. The DillPickle69: This song still gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to it. This song was one of my best friends favorites who unfortunately passed away so this song has a lot of emotions attached with it. Great video guys and keep up the hard work.
1819. Riki Schell: have yha all did/done "Living Colour - Cult Of Personality" ???
1820. macleadg: Haruhi The facial expression (the nose-scrunching) is necessary to produce the powerful, raspy tone (a.k.a. “vocal fry”), but they did not have to show that part in close-up.
1821. Eric Biddle: If you break it down right.... it's a "Anti-War" song from the Vietnam war era.
1822. Whytepathe: From what I've read the song is supposed to be about how technology is separating us as a people, causing a silence (The people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made). Now, this next part is my opinion as I've not heard them state this, but, it seems that with the advent of cell phones and social media perhaps they meant this as a call to recognize what we're doing.
1823. Vision Serpent: Their cover of Genesis was better
1824. Nuclear Gravy: guy with the glasses....shut up, please...
1825. John Nicodemus: Simone & Garfunkles original song was a warning of the abyss of people no longer connecting and caring. Disturbed's version is a slap in the face to wake people and get back to faith. S&G were deeply spiritual. David Draiman, singer for Disturbed is classically trained in Opera, hense the ochestral arrangement of his version. Lead singer of a metal band and a classically trained vocalist. Irony or what?
1826. Wolf †: Megadeth - My Last Words
1827. farfar arkivar: Guy in the cap - you can hear God in this song. Guy in glasses.......shut the f up & listen - you will need to hear the voice of God some day. No, Disturbed is not God - he only speaks through them.
1828. nokmuay1970: You guys shoudl do Ryan Upchurch's "Simple Man" Cover. he sings multiple genres. A good example of him is Ryan Upchurch "Can I get an Outlaw" or "White Lightning" or check out Big Smo "Kickin it in Tennessee. the last 3 songs are more Hick Hop. Country rap sorta.
1829. sasquatch 32: The song is about a lack of communication in the world, real communication
1830. Angie Struth: Bad Wolves - Remember When
1831. Rafael Reus Brocca: I love you
1832. NAOMI CAJA MÁGICA Medrano: you guys should not laughf because theres a song like that and its from9/11
1833. Jornstjerne: Guys, there is a version of this with Myles Kennedy, it is even better!
1834. crypticify: Kamelot - Abandoned . Please do it...
1835. Grunge Tone: Sadboi song s like u said by lil peep
1836. Guilherme Percheiro: You should react to Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark (Live At Rock In Rio) , and/or Avenged Sevenfold - Exist (which is about the birth and life of the Universe)
1837. Brian Madigan: I absolutely love this version of this song! It gives me chills every single time I hear it.
1838. Adam Houlihan: Or the version with Myles Kennedy
1839. Can't Kill A Cowboy: Nice to see you guys check this cover out! It definitely lacks context without hearing their previous work, IMO - it is a drastically different sound from anything Disturbed had released beforehand (as they are predominantly a hard rock/metal band), and really left an impression on those of us who had followed them from the beginning. That said, check out some of their previous work like "Down With The Sickness," "Stupify," "Prayer," and "10,000 Fists" to really get the picture; and if you are checking out metal covers, their version of "Land of Confusion" is pretty good, too! Keep on keeping on, Free Thinkers!
1840. Jeffrey Bolton: Very powerful and disturbing. Better watch a couple of Abba videos to ward off nightmares.
1841. MetallicA29: This suggestion is tremendous!
1842. SweetLikeCyanide: Dolphin Bites crew, FTW! :D I totally forgot about him having those piercings when I got mine.
1843. Kevin Heckeler: I've always thought tSoS was about the music industry, along the lines of Rush's "Spirit of Radio"
1844. Truth Revealed: @stealthRUSH: ABSOLUTELY!
1845. wvusmc: Testament did a great job with that cover.
1846. Plinkage: i really hope they react to cocorosie at some point. would make my day. "werewolf" is such an amazing song. second and a close third imo would be "jesus loves me" and "uno beso"
1847. ulisses salvador: I tell you what the meaning means that the human being is increasingly distant from each other, how many times have you entered a public place and saw a group of people who are together and nobody talks to each other are all time mobile phone technology
1848. Chad Wolfe: no, its a vision of Heaven no need for talk, singing, etc God gives them all they need
1849. StephenRahrig: dextc No, actually we don’t! We have a different value system of what we should take offense to in life . Who tf cares if someone doesn’t know a song? This is geekery. I used to be like you. I take it you are young, like teens or 20s?
1850. Jim DeMassi: Agree guys! The live performance on Conan was INSANE!!!!!!!!
1851. Laurent Dumesnil: Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower. Original by Dylan.
1852. Zach Clark: +Matt Also, Josh and Zach are badass on this album.
1853. Zack Reed: love this song but it doesnt really reflect disturbed style hope to see some of their original pieces like 10 thousand fists or droppin plates
1854. Joe Murphy: Godsmack abso-fucking-lutely!!! They are my favorite band besides Zepplin and The Beatles but Sully Erna of Godsmack makes that band all the way around. Lead vocalist, guitarist, drummer, song writer and just a bad ass front man. Great suggestion 🤙
1855. backspin123: you should react to the original
1856. Ripplin: It's...a'ight. I much, much prefer their cover of "Land of Confusion."
1857. LordDragul Smitty: +Lawfy D. Ace Disturbed is generic through no fault of their own. They are generic because other bands followed their recipe for success. They are the progenitors for that they do
1858. Kelly Souther: Remember Disturbed is a metal band. This is actually a pretty mellow one. Also, the people bowed and prayed to th neon gods they made (man made technology and being sheep to just follow the masses and not speak out as an individual. Disturbed has an extremely powerful voice. Check out some of his other stuff.
1859. Lone Frydenlund: The little man with glasses - stop talking and listen and learn
1860. Vernon Powell: Like most of your reviews but.. glasses-dude wanted to hear himself talk too much for a mood recording. Hat-dude probably stayed late that night to really experience it as should be.... Just sayin'
1861. Phillip Patakos: Backfield - my gift of silence
1862. Dingie Mzila: Can u pls react to uk mc Cadet- slut freestyle 🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://youtu.be/m1FeIlIU_d4
1863. Kyle Fletcher: His stage presence is soooo boring
1864. robert de vries: i totally love you guys, you're openminded to the music you're reacting to, trying to understand the video and the lyrics going from great depts till:"dude looks like howie mendel" seriously awesome!!! greetings from the netherlands
1865. Scoobay: If you haven’t heard anything from Disturbed prior to this, you have to check out *Disturbed - Down with the Sickness*
1866. Jesse Smotherman: Like a stone- Audioslave
1867. unbelievablescenes: Somehow the acoustics on the Conan show make this cover even better.
1868. GANN010355: It's hysterical that a Professional, classically trained Singer is being judged by a couple of gum chewing, blind glasses wearing, nodding, weaving dolts, trying to be relevant Mother Fockers that wouldn't know Music if it hit them in their "Rap Ass". The only music blacks like is destructive.
1869. Matthew Willinger: He looks a lot like Andre Agassi
1870. KyuzouTV: im still going for it, Iced Earth - Dracula
1871. Steve Kozlowski: +louofm1 yes, any of those are excellent choices!
1872. Jonathan Noriega: Do another Tool song Jambi or A Perfect Circle - The Outsider haven’t seen a reaction to any A Perfect Circle
1873. Homo sapiens: Naaaaw dude why The sound of silence? It's not even their song. Do The Night or any other song that's actually by them
1874. Bullet: I would love to see you fellas react to any song from man with a mission
1875. Grifter 182: Disturbed - Sticken
1876. holleyman1970: I love buckethead
1877. Rusty Shackleford: I haven’t watched the video yet, but thank you for this!
1878. Tartuffe the Spry Wonder Dog: Where, I can't find it.
1879. Danny Goldstein: I always find it interesting when you have a majorly produced version of a song that was originally a very simple approach and the result is the same as far as the general emotional impact. It just goes to the show how strong the writing is if you can strip the song down to one instrument and a vocal and still have a huge impact. It's the one consistent thing in the ever changing landscape of popular music. Every single year there's a few huge hits that are just guitar or piano and a vocal A great song is a great song, no matter how produced it is or isn't.
1880. Pedro Blaidd: Protest The Hero - Skies
1881. Benjamin Rowlett: This cover sucks. Whoever told you guys that this was the best cover of all time is on crack. What a boring, brooding song. This guy just simply planned to rip off an existing song and add brooding modern metal feel to it. Not impressed. Please review some more old school Van Halen. Maybe Panama, Hot for Teacher, or I'm the one.
1882. Shiby23: seems like you're reacting more to the lyrics than the person and performance but i'm glad you enjoyed it
1883. Niko Azure: Disturbed-Vengeful one
1884. deadwithoutabeat: The live performance in Houston with Myles Kennedy gives the full harmonic picture too! That one's my fav. Either way, this cover in whatever variety gives me chills.
1885. Stephen Davis: Hey man, I think you're close with your interpretation. You guys said technology... Imagine trying to talk to 10,000 people all on their smart phones. These lyrics may have been a bit ahead of their time.
1886. Scott Bartz: Please do a SHINEDOWN song. Bully, Shed Some Light, Monsters, or any other one.
1887. Starlight Jupiter: Doc Holliday is another great song from Volbeat.
1888. The Hawkeye V: Marc Broussard -- Home (Soul, R & B, swamp rock) The Band of Heathens -- Hurricane (Americana, folk rock) Uncle Lucius -- Keep the Wolves Away (Rootsy classic rock, country, blues) Chris Knight -- Down the River (Country rock, Americana)
1889. Vasilis Metalhead: Metal Church - The Human Factor their best song ever imo, all others on your list are great choices (not that Metal Church isn't)!
1890. Wristwatch Addiction: One of the best metal covers (also of a Simon and Garfunkel song) is Queensryche- Scarborough Fair. Seriously metal version of a folk song. You guys are due another Queensryche so I’m gonna bug you guys till you do another one lol! https://youtu.be/A7LYghvNyTw
1891. Rage Rider: Frank, guilty pleasure lol?
1892. Rythan Hemphill: My interpretation based off what i heard was lion (lee-on) god they made, a false idol and nothing more. I thought perhaps the ability to convey sounds without making them/"talking without speaking" and understand them without hearing them/"people hearing without listening". Is perhaps more of a evolution and saying silence like a cancer was perhaps a neutral statement rather then a warning. The ship in the end may have just been bringing them instrument to perhaps "make music without playing" the next step in this evolution. Just what i thought of though and that feels very off the ball so take what I say with a grain of salt i just thought that was an interesting way of interpreting it~^^
1893. Mieshia TrynaMakeIt: Omg ive been wanting to ask someone but on that song ...the part where its like he talking as a child on Down with the sickness...what was it?? I love that song too and also stupify my fav...
1894. Heathens workshop: This song has always delivered the message of live performance and music vs. Tech and mainstream media and music of today
1895. grillchirre: WRONG! :p NEVERMORE did a much better cover IMO, they really made the song their own. Please check it out sometime.
1896. Pete Authelet: I like how you guys critiqued this.
1897. Heather Arbuckle: Being written in a tense time in our history, it is important that it was brought again in today's climate in our country. The message, still relevant, needs to be heard. So grateful for this version. Beautifully disturbing.
1898. Alex Agranov: Do Animals- house of the rising sun
1899. shy Bunny: Considering the context of the original time period in which this song was written, I think this is a politically driven message. I keep thinking about politicians/media who say a lot but don't have anything worth saying, the general population who listens to the surface of the messages from those sources without understanding the context or intentions behind them, and the suffering and lost who are voiceless because of stigma and oppression.
1900. TheSimplyQua: Song written and recorded in the sixties during Vietnam and the war protests.
1901. 8 Cylinders To Life: Staind - Something to remind you (Live preferably)
1902. Hammer Drummer: guys it is time for tool again ! it has been too long. Your choices are: the grudge, pushit, wings for Marie part 1 and 2, right in two, vicarious, schism, the patient or ænema
1903. Michael Quallet: These guys never stfu. Simon and Garfunkel lyrics, slim...
1904. Moo Rnit: Alestorm covering Taio Cruz's Hangover... do that you wont get disappointed :))
1905. baskethil2: i think a lot of people have different views of this .. I am not a Christian but i think its about current day and how the neon lights and noise is keep people from Jesus or religion .. No im not religious either but i got that immediately
1906. Plinkage: i gotta admit i love the original to death. this is cool. but meh.
1907. paul STARKS: 10000 fists is my jam
1908. badbirdkc: If you want to hear a really cool cover, check out Exit Eden and their cover of "Unfaithful" by Rihanna. Exit Eden is a metal group made up of four incredible female singers. I'd recommend the video just to see each singer and how the cover it.
1909. Espen Totland: +Trenton McIntyre yes, its a genious group, their all real artist, painting incredible picures and shit. they're been tripping their ass off on dmt and ayuhascha haha. great band for sure
1910. Bill Holsopple: I’ve heard this song probably a hundred times and still get the goosebumps
1911. MrRoztoc: I can't believe you guys here are listening to that song for the first time. Come on! And the guy to the left looks like Idris Elba's younger brother, hehe! Look at him!
1912. Cindy Weinstein: I think you are spot on with your analysis of this song! I have been a Disturbed fan for years because he IS unexpected and does sing to a level one would not expect in heavy metal music. But that is why I pick groups to like...because o powerful singers.
1913. THE CRONIC: Yall should do either ten thousand fist or indestructible by them
1914. Raquel Bargas: Disturbed is awesome! Give their other music a listen! :)
1915. Zebulon Swearingen: Darrell Crawford Right on.
1916. chris gomez: Queens of the stone age, no one knows, a song for the dead
1917. Yasser Y99: Craaft - Jane
1918. MetalliBucket: Ticket to ride at the troubadour
1919. Tina Tidmore: I take it to mean that people are dealing with each other in a superficial way. Remember the time. The public politics discourse we have now due to social media wasn't that way back when the song was written. Day to day, the mundane instead of issues and love and deep philosophies were discussed. They reached for the neon god, the commercialism. But the deep thinkers, the ones with insight, the prophets, they were the ones writing graffiti in the subways and tenement halls. The song writers would write songs of deep meaning and human experience truth and love for humankind, but they dared not sing them or publish these songs. Love and noncommercialism and sharing and caring were counterculture. Those who wanted to speak these things found no one was interested. They were instead interested in their neon god (commercialism).
1920. William Cavallini: Guys, could you pleeaase react to Nevermore's version of this same song? I think its so unique and kinda underrated cover
1921. erik je: ITS ABOUT THE SILEND MAJORITY GETTING OVERSHOUTED BY TRUMP/WARMONGERS/RASITS/CORPORATITS ECT ECT ECT
1922. Dialysisforever: I hope you guys checked out Disturbed's other music. I was not expecting this from them. Thanks for the video.
1923. Jason: Inserat the band how is this uplifting?
1924. Kenny Alderfer: Incredible cover!!!!!
1925. Jim Papachristos: Do more from Disturbed guys. They are the shit! React to Prayer
1926. BuffaloSpirit: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel originators of the song Paul being the one that wrote it; took place during the Vietnam war, civil Rights movement, John f Kennedy assassination it has deep meaning during those times... People did not communicate during those times and they don't today; that is what the song hits on.
1927. Tijuana: Best cover ever? I mean, come on tho
1928. Berkay Demirer: Now you have to do Nevermore - Sound of Silence as well!
1929. Christopher Kovalyak: Please do XZIBIT- the foundation. Ur all around my age. This is the dopest song from the west coast about xzibit children and everyone children and just in general a fathers love of his son and protectiveness. And its a dj muggs classic beat!
1930. Tony Plunkett: You should react to some classic rock like Ted nudgent or deep purple something like that. I will live song choice up to you guys.
1931. moffe2k: Ahh, yes. I thought that was what you meant, but starting to wonder when you wrote it again in a different video. It's a shame, yes, but we will still have their music.
1932. Michael C.: My funeral song
1933. labbybear2294: There is no doubt that this is a great cover of a great song. However, the best cover ever made was Johnny Cash doing Hurt from Nine Inch Nails.
1934. Anthony DeSimone: +Gabe Lopez She had planned to earlier in 2018, just before her untimely passing.
1935. Trent Timoy: You should ALWAYS LISTEN to the song/music BEFORE commenting. You ruined it for me by interrupting it to say that the lead singer looks like Howie Mandel. I'm done
1936. Misty Michele: I've liked Disturbed since Stupify, and this blew my mind the first time I heard it. I love it. One of my favorite covers.
1937. Blue Falcons Suck: Y'all talking just to talk... And the pauses... STFU, Listen, think, then comment. You were right about the 👎 though.
1938. Benjamin Teeter: Been waiting for this forever. This isn't even Disturbed's best version though. The best cover was the live performance on Conan.
1939. Kevin Mayfield: They have already reacted to Hurt by Johnny Cash.
1940. Nicholas Platt: +Bill Burki no he doesn't. He's on record saying he didn't. Then there's ALL of the technical stuff he drops to back that statement up that show he didn't. He doesn't need it.
1941. Some White Guy: Rime of the Ancient Mariner-Iron Maiden Flight 666
1942. JCDJohnson: I've never seen it better portrayed than in a cartoon in which a homeless waif sits in a dark alley peering into the screen of a cell phone and the cartoon caption is "THE SOUND OF SILENCE"
1943. Dom Turner: Judith by A Perfect Circle
1944. BoutDatMetalLife: Dream Evil - Book of Heavy Metal
1945. IXLOKIXI: Check out the Stairway to Heaven Kennedy Center Honors cover. That, for my money, is the best cover.
1946. Garrett Short: Metallica sanitarium live in Seattle 1989!!!!
1947. Kyle Sedlacko: Brilliant job as always, guys. If you want to hear what Disturbed can really do, listen to Stricken. That song is fantastic, you’ll be blown away.
1948. Mon Veloz: Write your own music Disturbed u lazy fooks
1949. Bill B-MORE Passmore: sir psycho sexy - red hot chili peppers :D :D :D
1950. roneit: There is a version of this song with them and Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge). You guys should check it out!
1951. Scottie Fisk: The neon God they made Is the music industry
1952. Brian Roak: Can I give you guys some constructive thoughts. Maybe comparing cover songs would be a nice branch off for you guys. Lots of covers done in both rock and country, let alone anything done before 1975. Can I issue 2 challenges for you to look at cover songs. 1)Close my eyes forever. first done by Ozzy and Lita Ford and covered by Device and Lizzy Hale. 2)Crazy little thing called love. first done by Queen and covered by Dwight Yoakam. but otherwise, another great insight by you guys. Keep up the good work.
1953. tRexArms: React one of their songs. One of their older songs...
1954. Tha Deka: Reaction of Dimash Kudaibergen - S.O.S Plz
1955. shocalremix: Truly funny, but Simon actually wrote this song as a teenager/young adult and honestly was just jaded that nobody listened to him since he was young and was ignored, along with other people his age. Teenage folk agnst
1956. john barschat: Metallica's Garage days is full of a ton of great covers, Seether's Careless Whispers is great also. A Perfect Circle also put an album of all covers that you should checkout
1957. Kathy Howard: So Paul Simon wrote the song and he explained the meaning here: https://www.quora.com/What-do-the-lyrics-of-The-Sound-of-Silence-by-Paul-Simon-mean
1958. Eric Slupe: Got to remember guys this song was wrote back in the 60's when there was a different world going on. Paul Simon was a brilliant song writer and him and garfunkel harmonized so well together. That being said love your guys channel watch your reviews all the time and your unbiased opinions.
1959. Aquilifer X: you guys need to react to more Disturbed! Like they got some really good music.
1960. Roland Tembo: You have to do slipknot- spit it out You guys will love it, corey has bars my dudes
1961. terry meeks: Guys do Jason Michael Carrol, Allisa LIES. GREAT AWARENESS VIDEO... THANKS
1962. redfurrymonster: "Silence is the elephant in the room" I love you guys. You do your research!
1963. Jeffrey Goodrich: lets get something to near bring a man to tears, how about Price of a Mile by Sabaton
1964. Dediguise 001: Frankly I’d be cool with anything off of those albums
1965. Mass Pyro: What up boys
1966. Alan Leos: THANK YOU SCIENTIST- MR INVISIBLE
1967. Swamp Fox43: Rosetta Stoned!!
1968. GANN010355: "My eyes were stabbed by the flash of a Neon Light" can possibly refer to the dropping of Atomic bombs in two Japanese Cities.All the musical references seem to me to portray that Music is indeed the Universal Language that most everyone understands. All differences aside, everyone Loves Music.
1969. That's Nuclear: Who in their right mind would pick this of all Disturbed songs should have their head examined!!!!!!! This is definitely not a true reflection of disturbed. Yes it's a good remake of an old slow song but clearly not of their powerful head slamming music. Please revisit another request and I think you will have a different opinion.
1970. paul gillenwater: To me I think the lyrics are more about the music industry as a whole. The line "people hearing without listening" means people hearing modern music without listening to what it actually means. And when he says "And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made" he is taking about how we hold massively popular artists above others even though their music may not be as well written or the words aren't as meaningful as some of the smaller names who churn out extremely high quality music. To me those are the groups or people who are being silenced by the majority of people (portrayed my the people with the sheet music in the video). Just my thoughts.
1971. Jennifer Williams: I read the Patreon comments and I didn’t realize how many people hate distrubed lol. Where I live they are deeply loved. They are one of my favorites. They so many songs that are great at least to me. I think you guys would really enjoy The Animal, Another Way To Die and Asylum. Please when you have the time, give those a listen. Love you guys and thanks for the great videos.
1972. Puddin's Mama: David's voice is amazing. Great reaction video. Thank you. 👍✌
1973. Bobby Davis: Been waiting so long for you guys to react❤️
1974. Iker Castillo: Boring song, I don’t know why would someone wanted a reaction of that. But you tried so props for that. Could you react to baby metal? What would be amazing
1975. Wayne Whatley: Seether - Fine Again. I'm tellin ya, it will make the playlist
1976. Patrick Schmidt: Nevermore does a far better cover of this song!!!!!!!!
1977. Scott Richards: David Draiman is, in my opinion, the best male rock vocalist of modern times along side Ann Wilson who is the best female rock vocalist. I wish Draiman had more room in Disturbed to show off his vocal chops.
1978. Katsi: Now you've got to experience the true metal that is Disturbed. Enjoy!
1979. dvm0retti: I love your reaction to this version. You mentioned you listened to the Simon and Garfunkel version. My question is this: was it the 1964 original version or the 1965 studio remix/release where instruments were added. You can hear the tonal differences between those two songs. I truly appreciate and love how you guys dove into the lyrics. Considering that Paul Simon wrote this in his bathroom in 1964, the neon god can be a reference to the changing times of the 60s in NYC and the US. The song wasn't originally a big hit as that album sold on 3,000 copies in '64 but the lyrics seem timeless and very fitting for today's society. I personally didn't mind the times you paused the video so you could comment or grasp his vocals. This was my first time watching one of your reaction videos and I have to admit, you guys are great. Thank you
1980. PCmasterRacist: Disturbed - down with the sickness
1981. Zebulon Swearingen: Swiggy Swagg Great idea, they’d love it. That’s an awesome song.
1982. yeahroy90: Down with the sickness is a must. Also check out "Imperium" by Machine Head. So powerful in every way.
1983. Sarah Kh: Sonne _ Rammstein
1984. infonator1: This is another request "Redemption" song is "Echo Chamber" its insane insane f!@#ing good!!!!
1985. Hoosier Daddy: Cool. You guys always do great vids..
1986. Clint Westwood: Tool - The Grudge
1987. Ty Lewis: They already did that song.
1988. holly clown: Id say that the original version’s subtleness holds the theme of the song. You have this group speaking of the issue of no one is really communicating with each other. While this version is basically demanding people’s attention to listen up.
1989. LaDon Hilley: Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" is a song I would appreciate your opinion on please.
1990. Tony Montana mang: lol at the soul patch comment. That's when I liked this. Great song though.
1991. Chris S.: Let's see some more prog/power metal reactions. Here's my list in no particular order: 1) Virgin Steele - "The Wine of Violence" 2) Soilwork - "As We Speak" 3) Pre Cowboys from Hell Pantera - "We'll Meet Again" 4) Kamelot - "Lunar Sanctum" 5) Shadow Gallery - "Legacy 6) Pain of Salvation - "Water" 7) Symphony-X - "Of Sins and Shadows" 8) Kalmah - "Hades" 9) Demons & Wizards - "Blood on My Hands" 10) Masterplan - "Black in the Burn"
1992. tyler somerville: IMO he absolutely looks like Howie lol
1993. eargrind: 1 year strong on my request!!! Dechristianize by Vital Remains!! Thumbs up for Metal!!!
1994. recyclingeyes: Disturbed- "Indestructible", "Down with the Sickness", and "Stupify"
1995. kempf537: Sad but true by Metallica
1996. slearl: Please watch/react to the Conan version. Case closed.
1997. ChrisTopha 34: The best songs from YSIV Thank you The Glorious Five Wu tang forever (already done) 100 Miles and Running YSIV Street Dreams II Adventures of stoney bob Legacy (already done) ICONIC Last call PLEASE PLEASE do these !!! I know it's hard work but the beats are so fucking good!!!!!
1998. Mason Crisp: Please try Pain of Salvation! Beyond the Pale or Iter Impius.
1999. roy Wright: I think that was one good way of looking at the lyrics i never even though of that point ot view ! I meen i know it a old song but stop and think of race hate and crim no one talking about or when they do it like nothing being said even when it is talked about!
2000. tyrant: look this song live
2001. renee allen: If this song doesn’t give you chills, you are dead inside.
2002. Magnus Likes Tanks: Part 2 is the best imo.
2003. Jack Marchetti: This cover is terrible.
2004. Bella Biesel: You both suck.
2005. Zundfolge: "The greatest cover of all time"? Really? I mean its a nice cover (although it misses one of the central things about this song that makes it great; the vocal harmonies) but "greatest"? I found it somewhat meh and pretty much forgettable. Now you want a great cover, you should react to Ronnie James Dio and Yngwie Malmsteen's cover of Aerosmith's Dream On. THAT is a great cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZamjrXCDvo
2006. brandon g: Love The original..to be honest i dont get this one..trying to hard maybe? Either way its missing something in my opinion?
2007. Brian Steele: Simon and Garfunkel sucked in the surroundings of the talent of their time. Disturbed fits that description as well. This cover sucks. Disturbed sucks. Not incredible. Not powerful.
2008. Rook Dota: Finally !!
2009. Zakuya92: Bad Wolves cover of "Zombie" you'll love it!
2010. Joseph lee: Do buckethead soothsayer
2011. Troy DIOSO: The live acoustic version is just as badass
2012. corry63: not a fan of disturbed or this cover
2013. muddinmann: Love you guys keep it up check out other disturbed songs
2014. Noble Stone: Hero of war: rise against is a great story song
2015. Jennifer Carroll: Can’t believe u guys haven’t done this one yet... or I’m oddly just getting a notification for it
2016. VincentSnow9: I always interpreted this as not about literal silence, but about lack of substance. “Talking without speaking” referencing meaningless chatter that doesn’t actually matter, “hearing without listening” being only receiving the surface level of a conversation, not paying attention to what is and more importantly is not being said. I always felt the song was about feeling disconnected from other people. Anyway, I enjoyed this cover, though I wouldn’t say I love it, but it is very atmospheric, that’s for sure!
2017. RiderofStorms: Johnny Cash-Hurt Disturbed-The sound of silence the best covers by professionals(big time names) Anything by Leo Marachiolli tho thats some good metal covers
2018. Suzanne Uribe: neon gods maybe the vegas signs and such
2019. Mladen Korunoski: Tool - The Grudge
2020. Dominik Wilson: BEST COVER OF ALL TIME
2021. Tio Nino: Need to listen to the live version with the great Miles Kennedy, it raises the bar.
2022. ChiliHome Pie: I love y'all, but you guys fucked up this one. Much love. Just thinking freely and giving a real response to your reaction.
2023. ProgHead777: Now you've got to hear what Disturbed USUALLY sounds like. You listened to the original The Sound of Silence to compare to this cover, now you've got to hear a typical Disturbed song to contrast to this as well. I recommend Who Taught You How To Hate from the very same album as this song. It's more typical of Disturbed but still has some great lyrics to chew on. I'd bet my bottom dollar that you'd like it!
2024. Fahim Ahmad: U have to remember, this was written in 1963, just after President Kennedy was shot & killed. The cold war w/ the USSR resulted in the Cuban missile crisis, the civil rights movement was marching forward, Vietnam war was beginning to escalate - lot of turmoil & civil unrest in the US (much like now in 2018) so this song captures the dark uncertainty of the future. Of course, this version came out 2015 & it does serve as a dark omen of what's happening today...Check out more Disturbed - 'Prayer'...'Down with the sickness'...'Inside the fire'. They also have another great cover of 'Land of confusion' by Genesis(another band u could react to)
2025. CBChamberlain: This Song is about the Holocaust, and how the Nazis were going after multiple people, and Nobody said anything. As well other Horrible atrocities, and no one spoke about it.
2026. SignoftheMagi: Neon God = TV. Also, the lead singer is a classically trained singer, specifically jewish hymns and such (I forget the proper name for it).
2027. Robert F. Doyle jr: Just saw your reaction to Disturbed, Sound of Silence. It could mean that music is dead since electronic music
2028. Emaicty: you guys should do indestructible by disturbed as well
2029. Calvin Vice: You can almost see the lightbulbs spark on above their heads.  BY GEORGE I THINK THEY'VE GOT IT!!!!
2030. Charlie hates you: Children of Bodom - Are you dead yet?
2031. Wolf Hunter: The neon God is technology and it shows that we are stuck in technology rather than coming together as one and music does that,it brings people together...He is saying Instead of looking at a phone, PC(neon God) that separates us as a people.listen and sing because music brings us together...
2032. Brady Baxter: Childhood Goodbye - Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear
2033. Roger Barton: Not the greatest cover. I still say wtf when it comes on. Before realizing oh yeah. Bleh.
2034. Film Kini: Halloween is coming. What about a Helloween song? The great thing about Helloween: they are quite diverse. Sometimes it is hard to tell that it is the same band. speed: Ride the Sky, How many Tears epic: Halloween, Keeper of the seven Keys, Eagle fly free ballads: A Tale that wasn't right, longing speed (another singer): Push, Midnight Sun epic again: Time of The Oath, Mission Motherland, Revelations, Occassion Avenue Funny: Rise and Fall, Heavy Metal Hamsters, Perfect Gentleman; Lost in America
2035. Gordon Mccullagh: A better cover of this song is done by a better band called Bobaflex.
2036. Stephen Miller: People have moved from the true god and worship Satan instead .The false god they have made. Greed and power rule the world instead of love and compassion. Hell is getting fuller by the minute
2037. MRJ2012: Well the writer of this song loved it
2038. Chris Andreev: I've honestly never been particularly fond of this cover. The original is infinitely better in my opinion. Good reaction, though!
2039. Tiffany Bellou: Keep the wolves away by uncle lucius!!!!!
2040. Tiffany Cutshall: Lol I see the Howie Mandel reference
2041. Aaron Brenes: Iced earth: Dracula
2042. moshwitz: OK,,,now listen to .....NEVERMORE...Sounds Of Silence
2043. Grigoris Valsamos: React to Dio and Iced Earth!!!
2044. mizzpeller gingersnaps: Best cover of all time is ZZ Top's cover of Hendrix's Foxy Lady
2045. Jon Lane: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."[5]
2046. Mike Kuykendall: Lead singer of Disturbed could totally play the Phantom of the Opera
2047. FallenTrinty1991: Highly recommend you check out Ghost opera by Kamelot or their other song Up through the ashes Also you did Disturbed! FUCKING A MAN!!!! LOVE THIS!!!
2048. Baby Sloth: Puscifer (another band of Maynard from Tool) - Momma Sed
2049. MetallicA29: They said this was the best cover ever? Ha!
2050. GutterBallEZ: You've probably heard "Down With the Sickness" -- it starts with, like, gorilla grunting "Oh-wah-ah-ah-ah!", and it got approximately all the play when it first dropped -- and that one's fun, but you might also give "The Game" a go. Honestly, this cover is so different from the rest of their music, which tends way heavier. But I think that's why he was able to lend such gravitas to a song that's always held such symbolism and emotional impact. He's a hard rock/heavy metal singer who actually has a good singing voice, and he uses it very, very well. They also did an awesome cover of "Land of Confusion", another oldie from a time of social unrest. As you can tell, I really like Disturbed.
2051. Klink Klank Radio: PORCUPINE TREE: "Deadwing" PLEASE!!!!!!
2052. Cordero: yes he looks like howie mandel
2053. Malik Hart: J.I.D work out
2054. Deborah Arellano: When I hear this song I can't help but think of war. I'm not sure where I've heard this song was written about war. I know it was written during the Vietnam War so it would make sense that Simon and Garfunkel being folk singers would write some deep lyrics like this. "When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,That split the night And touched the sound of silence. Ten thousand people, maybe more, People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share, No one dared. Disturb the sound of silence." I can't help but think about a bomb dropping and killing thousands and thousands of people. I think these lyrics are deep and emotional and the few minutes while this song is playing, I have that WTF and Why moment. I love the original. No one writes lyrics like this anymore. We have no idea what these lyrics about. Everyone has their own interpretation and no one is right and no one is wrong. I love you guys!! Con mucho Amor y respecto.🖤
2055. 1 jay: AFI
2056. ryan kumm: No leaf clover!
2057. Tracey Pacheco: This is the first time I have watched your channel and it will be the last. Your stoppage ruined the build up of the song. Your opinions could and should have waited to the end.
2058. Gary Spaziani: It’s about a cop who got shot again and dying on the ground
2059. James Bowler: Yes, his cover of Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child, would be earth shattering, watching SRV keeping the soul of Hendrix while imparting SRV's tone and rhythm. It would be awesome to watch their reaction of that song!
2060. RysonArc: Metallica - Halo On Fire
2061. Ralph Dougherty: marvelmaniac88 Take Out The Gunman or Door To Door Cannibals
2062. Von Faahquard: this is one of the most overrated songs/covers in history
2063. Christopher Villafuerte: Still hoping for some Adele 👏🏻👏🏻
2064. The Elite Onyx General: Aw man I was hoping you'd watch the live one they did with Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge that one was really good
2065. Thomas West: these guys are right to be confused, its a 40 something balding white guy with shit sticking out of his bottom lip in an attempt to be cool, or relevant... he is neither. It IS probably one of the greatest covers... in headphones. I'm not hating, the live version on Conan was just as powerful.... the dude can sing. I'm gonna click on these two watching Rush YYZ now. It's all family, fuckers. Vote in November.
2066. Globalruin: Nothing More - God Went North Korn - Black Is The Soul
2067. D. Slick: Thanks for the reaction guys!!
2068. apb5000: The litmus test of a cover is if it would have been a hit in the era of the original. Example: Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly's "I Will Always Love You" would be a hit in any era. I don't think this version would have been a hit when voices mattered. There was no electronic help. You either could, or you couldn't sing. This version would have flopped in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.
2069. Keith Bittinger: Check out Disturbed cover of Land of Confusion!
2070. Dimetal1984: At the Gates - Slaughter of the soul
2071. Anthony Cook: In order to understand the meaning of this song, you have to consider the era in which this song was written and originally released... during the 70's. The heart of the civil rights movement and anti-Vietnam war movement. Lots of protesting, the song is figurative and embodies the atmosphere of the time. You also need to look at the free concert that Simon and Garfunkel did in Central Park to understand the 10,000 people reference.
2072. FeedingThoughts: Lost dog street band! Please for the love of God!
2073. walter phillips: Cold ft Aaron Lewis - blood
2074. 47 and2: it's basically "how to make a beautiful song angry and shit"
2075. Tim Hecklinski: I've been waiting a long time for CLUTCH guys...still waiting. X-ray visions, Burning Beard, Elephant Riders, Electric Worry, Crucial Velocity
2076. Harry Connor: Got a weird request but you guys should totally do some Primus? I think you should do Jerry Was A Racecar Driver.
2077. B-Down HBunZ: I'm telling you all the BEST ONES LIE!!!!! (Next Disturbed song)
2078. Polo Polo: Both pt 1 and 2!
2079. Collin Beal: Horrible cover. Absolutely horrendous
2080. Lance James: Wow you guys did it nice
2081. Jon HArdy: I have been watching your videos for awhile now. I appreciate your opened minded approach to music. I have been called a music snob by friends and family...you have inspired me to be more open minded to music...i still can't do you try though lol....if you could check "Sound of Madness" by Shinedown would be awesome!
2082. Hawkan Johansson: Tool - Vicarious. Lyric video. Pretty please? 😊
2083. Tim Kinisky: someone explained it like this: The original was a warning of what could come and the newer version is angry because that warning wasn't heard ... I can only think of that every time I listen to the disturbed version .. we dun fucked up.
2084. Євгеній Стогній: Йобані ж ви рагулі! Та прослухайте спочатку пісню а потім аналізуйте її!!!
2085. Charging Bear: Stopping for the Howie comparison was mint. Had me cracking up.
2086. Jay Burnett: Disturbed - Prayer or Another Way to Die.
2087. jose maciel: In terms of covers I rank this at the top right behind Johnny cashs version of hurt just the emotion I get from these are just wow
2088. Michael Durham: The Heartless Hero 2077 you are 1000% wrong on the interpretation of the song and what it means. There are interviews out there by Simon and Garfunkel of what the song actually means and has no political or emotional underpinnings...
2089. Shape Shifter: Great song, but too much for these lads
2090. Zedze: Temple of the Dog - Say Hello to Heaven
2091. New York Giants: Bullet for my Valentine-Tears Don’t Fall
2092. Nick Kempster: This channel still needs to feature some more melodic death metal. Do "Moonshield" by In Flames or "Uniformity" by Dark Tranquillity. Also, if you ever feel like checking out black metal, you couldn't do better than "One by One" by Immortal. Edit: Also do "Stabbing the Drama" by Soilwork and "Anubis" by Septic Flesh.
2093. Xaranar: George looks like what Shaun King thinks he looks like inside his head.
2094. Matthew Pruitt: You should try down with the sickness by Disturbed
2095. LORD GEKKO: My take on the lyrics is that he is talking about actual music and pop songs that have no meaning. These same songs are written by people that are not singing them. How this is a cancer that is killing art and music. All the while real musicians that are pouring their hearts out get pushed to the wayside by meaningless pop music. Truly his words are like silent raindrops.
2096. Michael Sanders: Having said what before. Y’all did a good revue overall entertaining 👍
2097. Alex Ellington: Do some Audioslave!
2098. dtmuffinman: Definitely a top tier metal singer for SURE, and I think Disturbed is a great band for these guys to listen to as kind of a "gateway" metal, or more accurately just a more accessible metal.
2099. Robert Cox: this is the first time ive heard someone really touch on the true meaning of this song
2100. Erin Weatherly: Let’s get some Corrosion of Conformity fans to soma these dudes!!!!! Corrosion of Conformity Corrosion of Conformity Corrosion of Conformity Corrosion of Conformity Corrosion of Conformity Corrosion of Conformity
2101. Energies1111: Nah, you guys have great points but I see different versions. Agree w previous comments about future being seen, with lack of human connection through technology--- but also, prophets words throughout history and today being ignored. People still sleepwalking through life, and arent waking up, 'hearing' the truth in so many areas of this 3rd demension, and staying 'silent' b/c for fear of judgement by family and society. Neon God they made? When do we stop the constant input of fake media news, social sites, and unplug....so we can truly connect...not only with each other, but with the Divine Creator? We pray and pray....yet how many people stop to listen?
2102. neil Mar: this song sucks lol listen to sober by tool
2103. Ethan Hope: I take this song as saying there are thousands of people who have voices that nobody are hearing out. The people with the music have words unspoken and in order for those messages to be heard you need an instrument to do so. You need to stop sitting in silence and say something regardless of if you think it doesn't matter. If you keep your thoughts to yourself, no one will ever hear you. Also I think that "the neon gods" are people who are being heard but are toxic. People who are speaking but don't have a good message and the only reason why they are famous is because WE as a society made them to be.
2104. Denise MaGee: Sounds like you need to listen to more Disturbed.
2105. Georgie Girl: Listening to the original Phantom of the Opera theme song and comparing it to Nightwish's version would be interesting to watch.
2106. Aaron Clapper: Okay. You did the one everybody was begging for. Can you do the one that no one but me wants? Buckethead's "Soothsayer".
2107. drummerfromhell1000: Savatage - Hall of the mountain king
2108. Wayside Gamefarm: Bad Wolves cover of The Cranberries “Zombie” is right up there with this. Maybe you could combine the reaction to the original and the cover while getting a point of reference.
2109. John Meade: Marc Broussard " Home"
2110. ProCharged HD: disturbed - land of confusion.
2111. Kevin Warburton: The Neon God is Mammon/Dis/Pluto, God of Wealth, Avarice, Greed, Captalism/Corporatism, Materialism, Consumption, Gluttony, Disharmony, Thievery.
2112. Foundations Medical Informatics: Hey Guys, It should be noted that the original version of this song was created in 1964, long before the advent of the “Distraction Culture” that we’ve grown accustomed to with Smart Phones, Laptops, and 475 TV Channels. I always took the song to have a meaning more centered around a feeling of silence brought on not from external factors or distractions, but from a core element of human nature which can leave us feeling trapped in a silent void as we pass others in silence as they remain trapped in their own voids. Regardless, the song serves as an excellent example of how composition can have different meaning and can resonate in different ways from person to person and from time period to time period. As always, loving the content guys! Keep it up :) Best, -Jon
2113. LARPBeard: Great cover- but the best cover ever made is still Hurt in Johnny Cash's execution.
2114. C.J. Peri-Peri: I can’t stand Disturbed.. especially that cover. I love the original by Simon & Garfunkel. Disturbed are by far the most generic metal band of the 21st century. Anyway, just my opinion.
2115. William Roop: 50+ years ago - Simon and Garfunkel wrote timeless lyrics. Add in an beautiful voice from David to take the song to amazing. Then add in the video to SHOW what the lyrics and vocals are presenting and you get an AMAZINGLY POWERFUL piece that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. IMHO I think that the neon god reference goes much deeper that the "electronics" of the time. Mankind has always looked to something bigger for answers and leadership. They have ALSO attempted to use religion as a tool to enforce their views and beliefs on others. Throughout history, biblical and otherwise, there have been people who have moved to the leadership roles in society and people following them stopped thinking for themselves to follow blindly the influence of a powerful leader, even to their own undoing. While neon god WAS Simon & Garfunkel's reference from the time they lived, it also reaches back to people following whatever is flashy and distracting. The silence in the song refers not only to their lack of voice, but lack of critical thinking and holding themselves and their leaders accountable. In the Bible, God commands that no one worship false idols; THOSE are the neon gods.Thank you for your reaction.
2116. Jay Money: K.A.A.N Conceal The Outro Please!
2117. Christopher Frasher: +Carl Portermore like a God among men but not a creature necessarily lol
2118. dick casablancas: No way. The vocals in this song once you hit that halfway point are just rediculous. Listening to most disturbed music then this next to it you can tell how amazing this is. I also love the original. This is not the best version of this song though the S&G version I think at the Rock hall is spine tingling.
2119. Big Bud Wiley: Howie has some good pipes! Who knew?
2120. Filthy McNasty: I think Between the Buried and Me's version of Bicycle Race is a cover you guys will like.
2121. Fist Full Of Java: The song was originally released in 1966, so the lyrics that you're figuring out were from that time. There was a lot of discord, civil rights movement, all kinds of activism in that time. But this was the birth of our moden era. So it very well could be early technology, computer, TV, materialism, etc.
2122. Todd Lehman: Chris Cornell doin I Will Always Love You is Great too
2123. Richard Bexborn: please remember the lyrics are Simon & Garfunkel
2124. ou812gtit haha: Can i share this video.
2125. 2xkiller: Paul Simon wrote this song while/after working for 2-3 years as a songwriter for a company. His job was basically to sell songs to other bands, he never sold one song. This experience can be heard in the lyrics. The song was also nearly given to that company by Simon until something happened and he withdrew it. Upon its first release, it got little play. Afterward, Simon moved to England. Later his manager redid the song and released it without Simons knowledge. It made it to the top 20 before Simon found out about the rerelease. Please feel free to google search it on your own, interesting subject.
2126. jim Jennings: Static X - Cannibal Clutch - Careful With That Mic Both great songs, different vocal styles I'd like to hear your takes on.
2127. Turkey Vulture: Vicarious by Tool 👀 Pretty please!
2128. Ryan Garcia: Boring. I just don’t get the appeal of this version. Not a fan.
2129. David Vanpelt: #1 You have heard of Disturbed. They did Down with the Sickness, a cultural milestone for some in their late 20's to early 30's. You cannot say ooA-A-A-A without knowing that song. It is impossible. #2 I fully agree with your assessment that this version has much more feeling than the Simon & Garfunkel original. I think that this is a symptom of the times, though. In the '70s when this was written Simon & Garfunkel were known as a political protest band and were certainly speaking to that crowd. A crowd that knew their style and was listening specifically to the lyrics while expecting something a touch trippy (it was the '70s, you see). That crowd cared far more about the words than any song structure ((see 95% of Bob Dylan's catalogue) excepting Tears on the Tracks, because that album is a masterpiece and you should do a reaction to Tangled Up In Blue to draw in the 60+ age bracket because it is an awesome story-song in itself regardless of it's massive demographic appeal) and were conditioned to live with and interpret these lyrics for months on end. on account of the time between album releases. #3 You guys should do something in the 'dad-rock' / 'yacht rock' genre. I suggest Steely Dan: either Deacon Blues or Hey Nineteen. Deacon Blues is a better song but Hey Nineteen is an easier listen to and review.
2130. The Ted: I believe the original song by Simon and Garfunkel was written about a friend that died of brain cancer.
2131. Veepedaldude: This song is so bad you guys get a down vote.
2132. Moon Gazer: Machine Head - Message In A Bottle Seether - Careless Whisper ManOwaR - Nessun Dorma
2133. David Good: Live version on Conan was unbelievable! You guys have to check that out PLEASE!!!!!
2134. Module79L: No, you were not off. Back in the day, the Neon God was the TV. In today's perspective, it's the dumbphones and all the technology that makes people talk without speaking and hear without listening, even when they're physically in the presence of one another.
2135. Deb Bradford: yeah right, that is what a COVER is, right?
2136. ADTRFTW7: "Absolomb" by Periphery
2137. Frank LeHouillier: Greatest cover of all time? Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
2138. Curious Clutch: James Wright right lmao droppin plates is more like it!
2139. David Morris: I prefer passengers cover :) Life's For The Living - Live at Spotify Amsterdam by passenger it's my favourite song ever and that version is amazing. Thanks love the channel
2140. Dave Neely: Id love to see you guys react/review Anthrax "Bring Tha Noize" with Public Enemy, damn good song by two damn good groups!
2141. Seedsower77 G: I don't know this guy singing, but i love the strength and power of his voice...its similar to the frontman of the group Creed. But, i have to say, this version kind of drags along. I'm all about the visuals....as simplicstic as the visuals were in this, I found it to be extremely creative and spoke volumes without actual words.
2142. nos4atu666: Man they fucked this song up.
2143. Lucifer Isgood: Um Tool No Quarter is the best cover ever :D
2144. M Power: Yall should react To metallica with the SF orchestra.
2145. Dinyo Donchev: Please do Pink Floyd - Higher Hope
2146. David: they are in for a surprise for the next Disturbed video they react to!
2147. Shaun Ketterman: Can we get some Avatar? You guys are seriously doing yourselves an injustice by not checking out Bloody Angel.
2148. Avei Clark: Now watch the ice skating video with it with Vanessa James and Morgan cipres
2149. The Backwards Bear: +Derek Raynaud good point. I never claimed to be exempt.
2150. David Freeman: Disturbed: The Game
2151. HanoverYakker: If you go back and watch the video, the instruments you see are staged in the manner in which those elements of the song are introduced.
2152. cameron paradise: Neon God represents fame and riches and that's what people are striving for these days and not focusing on what truely matters
2153. FateMediaNet: They already did it I think.
2154. Guilherme Omlo: Freewheel Burning - Judas Priest
2155. Andrew Bowen: Stricken has to be one of their deepest songs, and it sounds very good too. That should be the next song you check out by them, whenever that may be
2156. Erin Schrader: Vietnow- RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
2157. Matthew Huff: This song is SO important. Disturbed did a good job with it but the lyrics and the message of this song is incredibly powerful.
2158. tendeadgods: christian metal please
2159. Brian Jablonski: Love Disturbed hate this song
2160. David Boucher: NOW.
2161. Cameron Warner: I still think you need to do a industrial metal song, and I think it should be KMFDM - Drug Against War
2162. Sarah Seemann: Amorphis - Sampo Solstafir - Fjara Candlemass - Bewitched
2163. Sven Reinfrank: Guys, your videos are really dope... But maybe you accept one little tipp: DON'T INTERRUPT THE CLIPS TALKING ABOUT LYRICS... do it after the song! That always kills the power of songs!
2164. Brandon Cummer: You guys really need to do more Distutbed like Ten thousand fists.
2165. jacobian2666: Prayer by Disturbed is fantastic. Also inside the fire. I would highly recommend much of their music. I saw them live shortly after the release of this song and it's even more powerful in concert. They were touring with breaking Benjamin at the time. I would highly recommend that band as well
2166. Kyrie jankins Johnston: Like a stone or black hole sun would be nice from y’all☝️🙌
2167. Chris kingdom hearts: Can y'all react to Jay rock- win
2168. krulldunk: In Flames - Only For The Weak !! (Amongst many good old songs my ) my friends!
2169. Dante: Oh what a mind blowing performance!
2170. TheUnholyOne: 10,000 Fists is gonna be the next song you listen to from Disturbed, right?
2171. Matt O'Neill: They do nail this, but the best cover of all time is Chris Cornell covering Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U"
2172. NickisAwkward: Metallica- Disposable Heroes Gojira- Backbone Led Zeppelin- Rock and Roll Black Sabbath- The Wizard Electric Light Orchestra- Don't Bring Me Down AC/DC- Let There Be Rock Rage Against the Machine- No Shelter System of a Down- Sugar Queens of the Stone Age- No One Knows Nine Inch Nails- Where is Everybody? Thin Lizzy- The Rocker Pantera- Cowboys from Hell Dead Kennedys- Holiday in Cambodia Gorillaz- Saturn Barz Korn- Clown
2173. SlashArmyPL: Now the live version with Myles Kennedy.
2174. Gloria Ortega Franks: Thing One and Thing Two should be quiet. You spend a lot of time cracking jokes and ruin the whole pupose of why you made the video!
2175. Dennis Cooke: +sacredomens haven't heard that one until now. That's a nice song. Any idea who did it originally?
2176. Derek Raynaud: The Backwards Bear you’re literally complaining on one of those platforms. People have always been decisive and self indulgent
2177. antdude93: if you guys haven't checked out beast and the harlot yet, you need to
2178. Cora B: Love to see your reaction to Bad Wolf’s cover of Zombie!
2179. chickenator84: The greatest cover of all time is Simple Man covered by Shinedown.
2180. Brooklyn Stitcher: You have to remember that this song was written during two major events in time, the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War Which I think is why it caught on and meant so much to the 60's counter culture. I think this version speaks to an anger we have about not being heard at a time when politically and socially we are divided. We are being shown everyday that while we have made progress, we actually haven't come that far. To me this is illustrated by the lines "people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never shared and no one dared disturbed the sound of silence" and are sad in a devastating way in that as much as they spoke to everything that as going on in he 1960s they still apply to everything that is going on now.
2181. Darren Corder: I wish my earhole never heard this shitty update tune. The sound of silence would be a gift instead of the sound of this rag remake.
2182. Mistress Pupper: Sabaton - The Price of a Mile Please ^-^
2183. xxsloppyonexx: Machine Head - Sail into the Black
2184. Francis Castiglione: Please react to Michael Schenker Group - Attack of the mad Axeman or Megadeth - Train of Consequences.
2185. Lunzatis Palemoon: @Lost In Vegas A song can mean different things at different times. The Sound of Silence, and how both of you interpreted it, could very well be what Disturbed was going for while it meant something different to Paul Simon, the original writer of the song. Another example of this is the song Hurt that the two of you watched a while back. The original by Trent Reznor was about drug addition but the cover by Johnny Cash, thanks to the images and old video footage in the music video, was about reflecting on life at the end.
2186. Hobodeluxe960: Simon and Garfunkle said this was about people failing to have meaningful one on one communication with each other. instead opting to let the neon god tell them how to think or what to believe. Also that most conversations that were being had were of no value. noise with no meaning. In the video Disturbed showed us instruments that had been buried,burnt,lost,thrown away etc. This is symbolic of a people who had chosen to leave their means of communication and expression behind to follow this neon god. Only the musicians are rounding these instruments up and taking them to the people who have written songs (have ideas) and are going to teach them how to use them to express themselves to others. so the conversations we need to have with each other can happen.
2187. Drew R: When are you going to do Nightwish "Phanton of the Opera" (Watch the live version) or Nightwish "Nemo" Also, if you like covers do Chris Cornell's "Nothing compares to you" cover
2188. Jordan Burke: Another great video! Would love to see you react to Death's Great Black Wings Scrape the Air by Being As An Ocean. Dont think you have reacted to a melodic hardcore group yet. Dont know if you'd like it to be perfectly honest but lyrically it's one of my favorites and am curious what you guys would think of it.
2189. KILLER BEE: lil Wayne big bad wolf reaction plz
2190. bjeffreywallace: There are really people that think this is the greatest cover ever?
2191. wawawawawiwa: You should compare this to Nevermore's version of the song.
2192. Thomas Gannon: Another good Disturbed song is Stupify, way different then this, much more heavy metal, Ryan you would dig the drums
2193. Lutfi Makarim: I am so disturbed when people say this is the best cover of all time.
2194. Muntaser Barhum: it's time for Gojira - The gift of guilt
2195. JAYCOLL: Please do more Disturbed, they're an amazing group!!!!!
2196. David Boucher: Johhny Cash - Hurt. Originally by Trent Reznor NIN and Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Originally by Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz are two great cover songs!
2197. BBR BIGHR: Obviously these guys aren't voice coaches! Just picking apart old lyrics. Like he said, he just wants to get back to the the lyrics lmao. Just two of who the hell of our those wannabees. In ending here! Amateurs talking bull shit!!!!!!
2198. kareem hosn: YES! that entire album is just an amazing experience alltogether
2199. nr63kish: You guys already covered the best cover song, Hurt by Johnny Cash, but this one is pretty good too.
2200. Jellybeansbud: It’s one of the few covers I like better than the original. Still love the original, but this one gives me chills every time I hear it!
2201. Jacob Doyle: This is a great cover no doubts, but I am sorry to say there are much better I would rather see them react to. For pure vocal performance Jeff Buckley and Hallelujah are one of the greatest of all time. For pure fun I Prevail remake of Blank Space is arguably better than the original.
2202. Jeramia Valentine: Howie Mandel :D :D :D :D :D I'm floored that was funny as sheiza ;)
2203. Villager Mercury: This song is about depression
2204. Christopher Vilches: live version is better
2205. thedreamtheater: Metallica - Blackened!!!!!!!!!!!!
2206. Tyler Street: You guys don’t know DISTURBED?!?!?!? Then you HAVE TO react to DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS!
2207. Jane Hall: This guys voice ain’t that great,if it was that good he’d be world famous,haha but he ain’t,this is nothing but overrated shit,end off,people have been sucking this shit take off for years now,hahaha never even made the top ten,you don’t need to be an expert to know this is overrated GUFF
2208. Espen Totland: Tool - Vicarious. BRILLIANT writing
2209. Derp Herpula: Please react to Be'lakor
2210. Skampyyy: Maximum The Hormone - F
2211. Noah Shaffer: Have always really liked Disturb's cover of "Land of Confusion." Personal favorite cover.
2212. mssrus: This rendition shows, I think, a restoration of what was lost. The instruments covered in dirt, hanging from the tree, and and lying on the ground, are all gathered for the journey across the water that separates the writers who can't hear the music from those who play it. The ship closes that gap. Amazing imagery!
2213. JMG Darkest: +burntheashesband they need to react to songs like critical acclaim, almost easy and buried alive
2214. Garri: Metallica - The four horsemen
2215. leonardo Pinto: Hey guys, I really love your work, I know maybe you are not used to this but I'd really like to see a reaction to mortal reminder - pentakill. It's a metal song from league of legends.
2216. Boom Box: im confused as to why you say you know you are about to do something annoying yet still do it wtf
2217. Luis Nunez: I've been waiting for you guys to do Disturbed! But I was hoping for something by them not a cover. These are all great songs by Disturbed Decadence 10,000 fists Down with the Sickness Stupify Stricken Inside the Fire Voices Prayer
2218. Bradley Atchison: I got a "1984" the book feel. The silence (division) is participated in by the lost people (the silent people), and the "god they made" is industry telling them to be "good silent workers" and forget about the "beauty and the power of the people." Represented by the group of people on the boat bringing the artistry and enjoyment to share with the lost people.
2219. Jen Nelson: You can also take it or interpret it to a more recent problem. People arent talking to each other anymore because we're all so distracted by technology now. Most are buried in their phones and not making connections to that are closest to them. People who have the words written and the thoughts in their heads, but no way to express themselves and that is where music comes in and connects all of us.
2220. Robert Barker: Wasn't expecting you guys to do this song. Please do iced earth's watching over me.
2221. Steve Martin: It would be really cool if y’all would occasionally do a sort of “original” vs “cover” series. Like, start the video with a quick review or reaction to the original (or most well known) version and then immediately listen to a recommended cover version that you haven’t heard before and while you’re reacting to it do a compare and contrast to the original that’s fresh on your brains. Might be an interesting way to expand your repertoire and put even more distance between y’all and all the other wannabe reaction channels.
2222. Bill Serad: Disturbed is one of the best metal bands there is. Some "metal heads" who like to be edgy hate on them because they actually reached mainstream success but that's because of how good they are. Down with the sickness and Striken would be awesome videos to react to.
2223. Kyle Dillingham: Neon god is referencing neon signs, which were used more predominantly during the year when this was written and released, for stores and businesses involving sex, drugs, and alcohol. Think liquor store or strip club. More broadly I think it's speaking about commerce or money. Money is something we invented to give as tribute to the neon gods/signs - these businesses we created in order to receive the blessing of some carnal desire.
2224. Diane Hicks: I would love to see you guys react to any female metal artist.
2225. Grou Chung: Please do more grunge! You got to check out Local H, they have interesting lyrics and messages in their songs and some amazing composition and instrumentation. "Hands on the bible", "Bound for the floor", or "High-Fiving Motherfucker" is some of their best work
2226. Ceruleannn: wait what? this is considered as one of the best covers ever? i've rarely ever heard a song being so brutally raped, draped in over the top cheesiness. this is just awful. when i think of excellent covers, i think of Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower.
2227. Welcome!: The ultimate song that addresses the silent majority and what can happen when we don't speak up
2228. Sticky Bandit: MrAdidas1980 Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, James Carr, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Jim Croce, Robert Plant, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Prince, Smokey Robinson, Ella Fitzgerald, Elaine Paige, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Simon and Garfunkel, Axel Rose, Billy Joel, Jim Morrison, David Bowie, Anthony Hamilton, Ginuwine, R. Kelly, Lenny Williams, David Ruffin, Dennis Edwards, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Thom Yorke, Gladys Knight, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Hall and Oates, etc...I mean there are so many people with a better voice than him that it’s stunning you could even suggest he’s a top ten vocalist. He’s not even on this list, let alone near the top.
2229. Matt: I think they may like this way more than they liked Welcome Home now that Claudio's got a more appealing vocal style and smarter, more grown-up lyrics.
2230. J Duff: "Hello Darkness my old friend" is a reference to mental ill health.
2231. Connor Wilburn: Sorry but simon and garfunkels will always be the best
2232. Mike Milligan: Dudes.. If yall think this is a great cover and it most certainly is... Please please please check out careless whisper by seether.. It was originally done bye george michaels.. And its a great song then. But seether did it so much better
2233. American girl: Hearing implies something has been told to you instruction perhaps or are a sound a tree has fallen..Listening implies a meaningful message understanding has been recieved. You hear the tree but now you realize a tree has perhaps died and is no longer provide shade or home..meaningful LISTENING
2234. Marty Bishop: George you are spot on about the lyrics at least I get the same feeling from the them.
2235. Nate Eller: Her's the link: https://youtu.be/-ew_bfFvros
2236. BigB9778: Gotta do the sickness brothers love your work
2237. Oli Corrivo: @Lost in Vegas 7:55 Its a way to express the tragic side of technology on art. There are still people writing songs and singing because they know that silence is cancerous. Technology allowed us tocreate gods of music so to speak. The top pop artist gets all the attention and radio, internet, all that technology enables access to music but create a bigger divide between the neon gods ( that we collectively made ) and the modest songwriters. My words like silent raindrop fell, its that too right ? Personally, i think its a human problem , not a technology problem. And all corruption aside, is it a problem that there is a majority of people sharing an idea of what is beauty and what is good ? Can a majority of subjective opinions become an objective opinion ?
2238. Maurice Alves: There best song no doubt
2239. Cree Nathanson: A Perfect Circle - Freedom Of Choice Or Let's Have A War.
2240. seen123: The original is way way way better. This cover is a lame gimmick.
2241. Collin Beal: I need this
2242. Robert Rodgers: Given the time of the writing of the original lyrics, could the neon god be the television? Even back then folks were tuning out, not talking, but watching the glowing screen of a television? As much as this song has been reviewed, I think this one will be your highest view-count before long.
2243. 1 jay: Disturbed stricken or land of confusion
2244. Jeremy Breland: Jimi Hindrix All along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan is the greatest cover of all time. But good song, I just don't want y'all going crazy with best of all time.
2245. Tiffany Cutshall: Honestly this version and the original both could be interpreted in so many ways to so many things. Technology, politics, humanity in general. It’s one of those songs that everyone takes something different from it.
2246. Maciah Blankenship: Avenge sevenfold-Buried Alive
2247. Corey Jefferson: Funny you say that when i was little i used to think it was howie mandel lol
2248. burntheashesband: I’ve been push for this since the channel started basically. Like literally for over a year. They ain’t gonna do it
2249. AnthonyLeo: I've watched literally every reaction to this song since day one. Never once has anyone came up with a theory as strong as yours. You even made me realize a thing or two. Definitely subscribing.
2250. Ivan Pena: Neon lights to me also represents technology in today's world....cell phones for example, allows silence to grow because people don't interact with each other anymore. Everyone got their head down tapping the screen like I am right now....cell phones distracts us. Look at a family at a resturant and you'll see half of the table if not all on their phones and not interacting. Neon lights distract too...walk into new York city or Vegas and people looking up distracted by the bright lights...very prophetic song for it to be written in the 60s...just my opinion
2251. jserrano0711: I second this!
2252. Ron Mac: Very weak cover. Overrated!!!!
2253. Barbarus Bloodshed: This song can't be covered. Any attempt automatically fails.
2254. Lori Shoemaker: Metalica the song "One" video is Awesome heard the song a million times totally different thoughts about it when you actually see the video..😪😢
2255. Lucian Warrior: Shut up and listen.
2256. Joseph Reece: "And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made". Seems to me like the visual description of people on their cellphone.......hmmmm.
2257. Matt Morrison: You should try "Stupify" by Disturbed.
2258. Kevin Clement: The live version of this from Houston with Myles Kennedy is the best version
2259. gwynn theule: This song was written in the age of protest. Everyone was fighting everyone else. This is the most dangerous time in American history. There were protests against the war. The Civil Rights and rioting was at full swing. Killing of Civil Leaders (Bobby, Martin, and Malcom) happened to often. Drugs were killing musicians DAILY. The Government ignored the youth and the voices. Basically the only way to be heard was through music.
2260. Michael Bochar: React to the live version featuring Myles kannedy
2261. DJFireHawk: The original artists, Simon & Garfunkel, said this cover was the best they'd heard and they love it.
2262. Brandon Dye: You guys Rock!
2263. Will Schramm: It's such a great song that most covers will be really, really good.
2264. daredevilnb: Stone Cold Crazy by Queen. One of their more aggressive tracks.
2265. wrongguyrob: Try Staind Something to Remind You.
2266. dsjoakim35: If Howie Mandel and Kevin Pollak had a baby...
2267. Desiree Brackin: This is Awesome
2268. Deven Science: Most overrated cover of all time.
2269. Daniel Nevarez: Puya - Erizo or Numbed or Oasis. Time for some Latin Metal. Make it happen.
2270. J L: The original is far better.
2271. Cody Campbell: So, after looking at your country songs...I SO NOT know how you've gotten by without doing Tim McGraw or Alan Jackson. THEY ARE COUNTRY ROYALTY!
2272. Alexei Rojo Hernandez: Childish Gambino - Flight of navigator! 🙏
2273. daveau964: dudes figure Simon and Garfunkel wrote the lyrics Duh
2274. Ryan McAllister: Understanding the story of the band behind the song makes this track even more powerful. I'm not sure the LiV guys will be into the vocals, but nonetheless, I'd love to see them hear Architects.
2275. Shelly Graham: Ugh, not a big fan of this cover. Some songs should just be left alone.
2276. Anthony Saunders: No offense, but that's a bad audio feed. I can recommend proper wires and other audio feeds if you want. Mono is a bad way to start, and the wow, flutter and hiss don't help.
2277. D.Spellerb.: Avatar - Tower / Paint me red / House of eternal Hunt / or any song from the last four albums really... Its about time you do some Avatar
2278. Mike Denman: i think you guys got it, original what was happening, current what it became, both were warnings
2279. The Patriot.: Look to the time in which the don't was written, and who they are, perspective. Neon God's they made is a biblical reference paraphrase to the intertainment industry, Vegas. Instead of seeking the good path, people are making their own path, a book of Moses reference. People are hearing and speaking, but saying nothing, and not hearing others perspective, gods word. Others are choosing to remain silent instead of speaking up/ singing praise to God. Alot of symbolism and parallels.
2280. Rebecca H: David, the singer, has always been powerful. Definitely check out 'droping plates', it's and older disturbed song that doesn't get the spotlight it truly deserves. The lyrics are insane!!!! Much love.
2281. Dano Steel: this version just sucks. it teases you with a build up to the finale and then nothing comes. the original is so much better.
2282. Camille Duff: that's nightmare s . I have been fighting my own personal war with my brother s girlfriend who has tried to sell her own children and bragged to me how she had me roofied mocked by tis women Amanda she taught her everything she knows Andrea is head of highway man's daughter Pamela Simpson stag man was beating on my 70 year old mom gave me a concussion and has tried to have me murdered 2 times one of her babies father's is named Ryan the bada Bing butcher her stepfather she also has help her psycho along is Tom Mark Bradley who she's with in brownstown she also knows my children father
2283. CKCleary: Please react to Joey Badass - Hardknock, So under appreciated and one of the better verses in the last 10 years
2284. Adam Ford: Can't stand Disturbed normally. Their brand of generic nu-metal is just so boring. But this is their least Disturbed-like song ever, and coincidentally their best!
2285. travis42sb: For chuckles and giggles, you should check out this college a cappella group’s parody of the song called “The Walk of Shame” https://youtu.be/JXpO2fyL7xE
2286. Mercedes Miko: +SweetLikeCyanide she owned it only because it was a B side for Prince. I had never heard Prince's version until I heard hers. To me that was the difference.
2287. PlushBF: How about Disturbed - The Light? Haven't seen that really in the comments and is such a song to listen to them if someone is trying to get into them
2288. Seth Adams: definitely not the greatest cover of all time. Or even 2015. Lets hear Draimon do it like Simon with no autotune....
2289. Dayne Taylor: Check out A Perfect Circle’s cover of Imagine.
2290. Damon Johnson: Disturbed is a great metal band in my opinion and I'm sure others would agree. I would love to see you guys react to one of their original songs.
2291. J L: ROEM Of the 7.5 Billion people on earth, I’m sure there are people who enjoy having people shit in their mouth while wearing a suit made of pancakes. That doesn’t mean I have to respect their subjectivity.
2292. Carson Grubaugh: He is Legend does a badass cover of Fancy, but also, listen to their tune (((louds!!!
2293. Mainor Murillo: If this is the first song you guys do on "Disturbed" // Down with the sickness// will punch you in the face and make you bleed anger.
2294. Tana Williams: Much better much more passionate version of a definitely great song
2295. Devil Sephiroth: About time I I think the message that is trying to be conveyed here is, the issues that were relevant at the time of writing this song are still as relevant as they are today. during the time of writing this song the Vietnam War and the Korean war was very prevalent.
2296. J D: MVP - despised icon.....you won’t be disappointed
2297. dumplingshakes22: Should do perfect circle- Judith or 3 Libras... has the lead singer from tool and both are amazing songs
2298. Edgar Reyes: Tool - Eulogy
2299. The Warrior: Yes, very powerful.
2300. Paul Budd: Check out the live version with Myles Kennedy - it will blow your mind!!
2301. Pat Swett: Please react to Mechanical illusion : by Amaranthe!!!! They are swedish metal with a hint of electronic! Super catchy beats and an amazing balance between screams and clean vocals!
2302. Steve Hammer: I don' t get it, this song sucks, HARD! It's amateur hour and they completely butchered a great song. They suck.
2303. Robbie Bowman: Talking heads stop making sense album/concert
2304. scurry_away: The Sound of Silence... Patients with invisible diseases live this song. Last 40+ years no matter how we shout, medical science won’t hear us. The psychiatrists who research our disease assumes we are not capable of rationality. Must be our imagination they say. We don’t exist in the medical knowledge base. Our researchers did not include us in their research data. Dangerous for us to go to ER because policies and procedures not designed with this disease in mind. Pharmacology... medications have not been studied against this disease, so medications can be unexpectedly dangerous. Therapies they developed can cause permanent harm and disability. We live an Orwellian Nightmare. Medical Science is in error because they refuse to believe us. No medical or disability insurance, no physiotherapy, no understanding, no symptom support, no family support. No matter what we say, how we say it... Medical Science had Proved we don’t exist. Just our imagination. World wide delusion, perpetrated by psychiatric “science”. The Sound of Silence
2305. DEXTER NEWMAN: I see so many saying "this is not their style, check out the other songs' but for a lot of people just like Bohemian Rhapsody, this will make others hear Disturbed and see their artistry with a broader brush
2306. Bobby Joe: Could you guys please react to avenged sevenfolds song "little piece of heaven"? It's honestly a masterpiece.
2307. TheRokunana: Reaction videos are a cancer to YouTube.
2308. Metallife420: That Howie Mandel thing cracked me up like granted
2309. frank ingram: Listen to Disturbed's performance on Conan with headphones...crazy good.
2310. jazdramafree: Agreed. That cover is why I started listening to rock music. It was so surprising to realize rockers can sing.
2311. dingdonglouie: SEAN ROWE- SOLDIER SONG
2312. namttip2: This is a great song, but it is not a good feel for the real style for Disturbed. You should check out "Down with the Sickness" or "Stupify". There are other great ones beyond those, too.
2313. TheFingerlessWonder: You guys ever listen to a song that just gives you goosebumps? The climax of this song is one of those for me.
2314. Cpt Murica11: The inability of society to communicate with each other. Division amongst humanity solely based off of our differences between cultures/religions etc.
2315. Myrzghe: If you are doing best covers now (and I think you should!) you should check out : W. A. S. P - The real me (original by "the who") Dimmu borgir - burn in hell (by twisted Sister) nocturnal breed - under the blade (by twisted Sister as well) Five finger death punch : bad Company (original by bad Company) These are all bands doing covers of bands they grew up with, and adding a heavier touch to them. Some of the best covers in metal!! Make sure you hear the originals first!
2316. John Mortimer: React to more Disturbed
2317. adikaland: Nevermore - Sound of silence
2318. Jan Post: I think you got the gist of it, but the very last part.whispers written on the walls, in subway stations and tenement halls. So it speaks of the unrest, the want for change written in grafiti on the walls. If you look at any of the oppressed countries, where voicing your opinion will see you get shot, people will write their ideas on walls just to get them out anonimously. a silent protest
2319. James Shol: Randy Travis - I Told You So
2320. stealthRUSH: (hed) PE- Swan dive
2321. Danny Rosenberg: This song was written about the tv and the emergence of other technologies that were taking away from people having personal communication with each other and relationships.
2322. Stephen Ulmer: Push it by Static X
2323. Peggy Sullivan: Get the chills every time I hear this cover , I can tell you were both very into it !
2324. Gruen Jill: It was written in early 60s. It's about television taking over.
2325. Noah Hamilton: Jock rock. Disturbed are the guilty pleasure of those that hate on metalheads.they like to listen to it at the gym before football practice...
2326. Preston Knott: We went by randy houser
2327. Anders Danbolt Ajer: More like the worst cover of all time. None of the soul, solemness and beauty of the original. This is such a trashy cover.
2328. Doggo: RTJ is amazing!
2329. David Morphew: It comes from the bible
2330. Renato Maffei: Are you sure the request wasn't for the Nevermore version?
2331. Ballom, Master of Death: I would love to see you revisit Slipknot at some point. They are my favorite band, and really have something special in their music. Recommendations are Devil in I, Psychosocial and Skeptic.
2332. Stephen Raj B: I was expecting this "😱 😳" They were like this "🤨 😕"
2333. Cat Momma: Darlin, I'm from Va too and you've missed it entirely. The very first line, refers to his time living at his parents' house and that he'd go into the bathroom to play his guitar, with the lights out, because he liked the acoustics. As to the Rest... It was written in '69, at the Height of the Veitnam War, NOT the Cold War. It's about how no one listens to anyone else. The fact that it is Still so Relevant Today...is Incredibly Sad & Disheartening and speaks to how Little we, as a Society have changed.
2334. Cool Jesus: Its a dark song...
2335. Douglas Crippen: Metallica turn the page is way better
2336. Toney513: The Dude Looks Like Hannibal Lecter and I'm get nothing from this
2337. Philip Randolph: Big ups for talking about that man's voice, Disturbed introduced me TO METAL, and I'm a big Rap fan but being a free thinker, I fell in love with their body of work
2338. Jason Miller: he look like howie … you look like westbrook
2339. Seth Hale: High on Fire -- Fury whip!!! Also if you want to check out some DOOM METAL try the band Conan. Something off their new album like Eye to Eye to Eye or Prosper on the Path would be great. Prosper... leans a little more toward the usual slow side of doom. Best DM album I've heard in ages.
2340. TheHANburgler: Just noticed he was wearing a Golden Knights hat! Go Knights Go! (Not from Vegas, but still routing for the leagues newest and most refreshing team!)
2341. Penny Haynes: You guys need to listen to Disturbed- Down with the Sickness or Audioslave- Cochise!
2342. KennyRooks: More Disturbed please. "Remember" easy choice bitches
2343. kingkongz88: Neon sells.
2344. Nick Rippy: Dead Presidents depicts a good picture of the black culture back then, of those who served and didn't and the shit that was happening, and I believe the song was covered so dark, because shit kind of went the same after 9/11 happened for us current VETS and is still happening today. Civilians see it and feel it, but nothing close to the way we who served and still serve to this day do. The ones that were there when it all went down! We are the face to whatever the Prez decides, so we are the ones close enough to spit on and riot against, when we are your own brothers, sisters, friends, family! The civilians rise up against their own people, we don't get a fuckin choice what we do, it is kill or be killed once you swear in. None of us know that, when we sign up. Shit happens and we deal with it, we are there to protect our family from the enemy is all we know, whatever it takes! We got good intentions the whole way, but out here in media filled minds world, people don't see it that way! The media can either make us Heroes or Bad Guys, however they see fit. There is no real vision of being in our boots.
2345. aragorn771: It should be noted that even Simon and Garfunkel thought this version was amazing
2346. VooDooGamingPT: Rage againt the machine - Bulls on parade!
2347. Crystal Z: You may have heard of Stupify by Disturbed. It was on heavy rotation on the radio for a long time.
2348. Laura Schuler: Do Some TED NUGENT good guitar riffs.
2349. usaidemon: I think you guys would really like Nothing More! Great lyrical content, amazing energy, tons of talent and very original especially with their live performances!
2350. Amanda Woolley: https://youtu.be/Ya9lvA1POfQ give them some love
2351. krulldunk: All these songs are also awesome, i love in flames esepcially old! But i think this is a good starter song for them judging from the videos ive seen! If they start with this one they mosty likely will do another one.
2352. Strung Up: The singer from Powerwolf was classically trained to sing opera in Vienna
2353. Lindsey M: mike henson Chris did an amazing job on that song, such passion in his voice
2354. David Hall: Jim James - state of the art
2355. Sticky Bandit: I’ll be happy with any song just more Tool!
2356. Nifuruc: Might be interesting for them to listen to "down with the sickness" now... They'll probably doubt that it's the same guy/band ^^
2357. Jan-Erik Svenning: Of the top of my head there are two covers that I prefer to the original version. Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt originally by Nine inch Nails and Gary Jules' cover of Mad World originally by Tears for Fears Would love it if you reacted to both.
2358. paraNORMALity 505ABQ: Keep in mind the original was written during the height of the Vietnam war.
2359. Pete Smith: black hole son. LMAO
2360. Simply Amazed: He's lead singer of heavy metal band.
2361. shiscarp: I'm disappointed. I love watching your reactions and I can usually predict when you guys are floored and blown away by a great song. It is clear that isn't the case this time and I'm not sure why. For me it's nothing but goosebumps from beginning to end every time I hear this remake and I can tell it just didn't quite do it for you guys. I'm a metal head but most everyone I know is not, and friends that have heard this song have a similar reaction to it that I have which tells me that this remake has a universal appeal. So... not sure if your system that you play your music on is not great? I do know that the sound quality of the music in all of your reviews isn't as good as others so I am starting to wonder if that could be an issue? I highly suggest that you check out the live performance of this song on Conan O'Brien (not for a review/reaction, just to see/hear it since it is that good). It is even better, and it's unbelievable how good his voice is live. Anyway, again I love your reviews, keep 'em coming.
2362. Joshua Tom Jacob: Please watch disturbed and Myles Kennedy doing it together . If you liked this , then you will love the duo cover
2363. Jeremy Richards: Nevermore - Sounds of Silence
2364. Kristie Honsinger: I love the random thoughts that George has to get out of his system. Nothing wrong with some humor in between the music. 🤣
2365. Mika Blaikie: Please react to eden rock + roll 😁😁😁😁😁😁👑👑👑👑👑👑🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
2366. paul burton: Howie Mandel 😂😂😂 dead
2367. WingsofGaben: please do Visualize by Abiogenesis, it is an amazing song!
2368. Billy Ruben: Hero of War by Rise Against! Please and thank you
2369. bob Wilson: Wrong I'm afraid. It was a comment on the times when it was written...but little has changed. The Neon Gods were the shop signs and advertisements. Neon was the best technology available at the time for these. It was about mans inability to communicate with fellow man.
2370. Brian A. Nichols: Some songs don't need new versions. This is one of them IMO.
2371. le Bookcase: I never even knew this cover existed, very uplifting. I highly recommend you check out something else from the band to see the contrast to this. The Night!
2372. Summer Rees: Simon & Garfunkel Cecilia or Scarborough Fair!
2373. Mu4dD1b15: I've been saying that for years lol.
2374. TheDaysleeper40: Civil Wars - Barton Hollow please!!
2375. Jason Webb: The original is a powerful song. He adds so much more depth in the cover.
2376. CthulhuKittie: Howie Mandel, George?? Come on!! He's much better looking than Howie 😆😆 David Draiman has such a beautiful voice and a very commanding stage presence. I know Disturbed gets a lot of shit for being "too commercial" or whatever (for the metal community), but David is incredibly talented. To me, he has one those unmistakable voices - when you hear it, you KNOW who that is. Definitely check out some more Disturbed :)
2377. Tenebris Rex: Unplugged!
2378. mike henson: Please do Chris Cornell's cover of nothing compares to you
2379. Tana Williams: The song was about the government not listening to the public we were out there Marching for civil rights a basic decency we were marching against the Vietnam War a war we should never have been in and War in which I lost friends we were protesting against the people in Washington who just like now weren't listening to what the people wanted! Simon & Garfunkel were quiet and silky voiced this is how this song should have been song right from the beginning because we felt rage back then we felt isolated because we were different we didn't dress like our parents wouldn't think like our parents we felt we had the right to self expression and we felt we had the right to make the world right again. We won some we lost some but we did change the world forever
2380. Brown Skin Beauty: Omg Yess!!!!!!
2381. Daniel Burgess: Home free cover of ring of fire
2382. EL Phx: check out Dynoro & Gigi D’Agostino - In My Mind something different but good def would be an interesting review
2383. Mathew Erenbergee: I love the original and I love disturbed. However I'll say this is not a starting point for listening to disturbed in my opinion
2384. Marc Becknell: Charles Bradley - Changes, his cover of a Black Sabbath song
2385. jhoneps2: METALLICA - AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
2386. Jackie Murphy: Hi Lost In Vegas, shhhhhhhhh :-) Can you save comments until after the songs you react to is over? Most of the time when the song is constantly stopped and re-started it loses its momentum. Especially, in this song, as it begins building its strength, you keep interrupting it and the song is then unable to convey the power that the singer has given to it. This is just my opinion. .
2387. David Burrell: Yeah, but they keep saying they want to try most metal subgenres
2388. SoapyPingu: +Randy Garrett oh I know my music. And the original was boring. I don't know anyone in person who actually likes the original. Obviously you are the type of person who doesn't have actual music taste.
2389. prohoneybee: Wars all over. The West selling guns and bombs to others so they can kill and invade other countries. Propaganda on all sites. Refugees drowning and the rise of the far right / Nazis all over the Western world and we are SILENT.
2390. Run n Gun: Y’all need to do Chris Knight- Down The River. It’s a great country song.
2391. Buddy Duward Jr.: been waiting awhile for this lovin the vids.. try helloween I want out
2392. angelina bacchus: The gentleman name is David Draiman
2393. Acemage: You are both so right, the song is about how people both back then and now today, loose them selves in technology and silence. Hiding from the pain it is to face the world problems. So if you open you´re mouth and speak, everyone says yes and agrees with you. But when it comes to take action and change things, everyone goes silent again. It´s that war against falsehood. Those in power want´s chaos, making you focus on the wrong thing. Like, racism, terrorism, and so on. So they in silence can do what they want, make more money, grow more power, make us "normal" humans more and more slaves to they´re system. We can ALL see this happening, but we chose to stand silently. As long as we have a mobile phone and internet we accept all.
2394. Aaron Abernethy: I fucking HATE this cover. Takes a beautiful fragile song and then lays a bunch of bombast and bullshit over it, and mistakes power for importance. It’s subjective, sure, but if you grew up loving the S&G version this just feels shallow and try-hard.
2395. Abram Rock: more Disturbed plez. do down with the sickness. these guys are great live.
2396. Neigh Slayer: This actually isn't Disturbed's usual style. You'd probably like their heavier stuff such as Stupify, Ten thousand fists and Stricken. Also please Re-Do your Machine Head- Halo and Type O Negative- Black No.1 vids. You haven't listened to the full songs yet.
2397. Jakespeare93: Finally!! <3
2398. Annie Manross: I think it's one of those songs that everyone has a different interpretation and meaning of what they hear. Nobody is wrong. It's going to mean something different to everyone.
2399. morg106: This is one of the best covers ever! every time I hear it, it brings emotions to the surface, great reaction guys and well done to the disturbed Boys! If you haven’t done disturbed before try “Down With The Sicknesses”
2400. Mike Edwards: I came to your channel through this Disturbed song. Someone else had made a Reaction video to it (I didn't even know that was a thing) and one of your videos was in the "Up Next" list. Been hooked on y'all ever since.
2401. B Allen: And the people bowed and prayed , to the neon God they made . Maybe these lyrics were a premonition to the only thing we communicate with is cell phones, tablets, computers, video games etc.
2402. Corker x: It was interesting to watch you guys spend more time reacting to and interpreting Paul Simon's 1964 lyrics than Disturbed's rendition. SoS has been covered countless times during the past 54 years. The original was powerful but also reflective and haunting. Disturbed's version doesn't excite me. After all, how can an orchestra with pronounced tympani result in reflection or silence? If you're up for a stunning acapella rendition of SoS, I invite you to react to (or at least experience) Julia Westlin's version (@ You only have to listen for 10 seconds. If you don't have goosebumps, feel free to bail. Her performances are studio mixes of her one voice performing multiple acapella tracks. The result is perfect harmony and depth from one voice rather multiple voices (like Pentatonix) on one track.
2403. Charles Bryan: This song is extremely metaphoric. Kudos to Simon and Garfunkel. It is basically about two different groups of people who are separated by silence, even though one has music and one has words. But once they get together, than the silence dissolves when the music and words become one. And that is merely one interpretation based on the video. I think the original song is also referring to how different cultures, or even merely individuals, have different ways of reacting to our reality, different ways of describing their experiences... yet no one is "really" communicating. There is a silence in our spiritual connection.
2404. Cheri Noelke: This is one of the best ever written, this song was actually a call to the masses to as they say get woke. The lyric "hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again" is the only lyric that doesn't have a deeper meaning. Paul Simon would play his guitar and write in a very small bathroom because of the acoustics were so good and a lot of the times the bulb would burn out but he was so engrossed in his music he'd just sit in the dark for hours playing. The power of the phrase "sound of silence" is a referral to people not speaking out about injustice, remember this was written before the civil rights movement and "bowing to the neon god they made" was basically about fake religious POS's that used the bible to justify their bigotry, sound familiar? This was written a good 25 years before "modern technology. "The words of the profits are written on subway walls and tenement halls" you can compare to the messages of today's best street artists. This is the first time I've ever commented on anything online but I've watched a lot of these reaction videos and it kicks ass that it's affecting people so deeply. Lastly, the whole "People talking without speaking and people hearing without listening" is basically people saying a bunch of shit that are either lies or are meaningless, and hearing without listening is you hear something but don't take the time or you don't care to understand what that person is saying, again sound familiar? Disturbed (David Draiman"s) cover is f-n unbelievable. I always felt the last part of the song should have had more emotional angst and anger, his voice was beyond perfect. So to me this is this generation's call the masses to come together speaking out against the bullshit that's going on. Also I saw a comment below about the live version on Conan, gotta agree you HAVE to watch that. Sorry bout the length of the post but I had to get this out there, hopefully it might help a few people to get woke. Peace out!
2405. bronco66r: i" m gone at 222
2406. preziveoklot: You just overdid with your fooling around for me, missing the whole point of the song. Unsubscribed....sadly
2407. Mercedes Miko: +SweetLikeCyanide no doubt. It was more artist appropriate.
2408. YungTabernacle: Could be worth doing another song of Disturbed’s to hear what they usually sound like. You’ll probably appreciate this more when you realise they can pull off two completely different styles. Try Prayer, Remember, Stricken or something like that.
2409. Spooby: The whole point to disturbed’s music is to empower the listener. To bring across a message and convey there thoughts to the people. Love this band
2410. Random Person7754: This song is the best cover because of the emotion he put into the song. You guys should try to find the vocals only version of this one. It's honestly better than with music
2411. Winona Ramsey: He doesn’t use auto tune and he’s trained in classical music
2412. jeffrey G: I think its the endless pursuit of money has caused us to become to self absorbed to resonate with each other. The hallmark of capitalism is the blaring advertisement, the neon sign.
2413. evenflow1981: Decent cover but nowhere near the best of all time. Jeff Buckley, “Hallelujah” (Leonard Cohen) , Jimi Hendrix, “All Along the Watchtower” (Bob Dylan). Aretha Franklin, “Respect” (Otis Redding) , Johnny Cash, “Hurt” (Nine Inch Nails) and Whitney Houston, “I Will Always Love You” (Dolly Parton) are all unquestionably better than this. Personally I like Futureheads "Hounds of Love" (Kate Bush), Guns n Roses "Sympathy for the Devil" (Rolling Stones), Rage Against the Machine "Renegades of Funk" (Afrika Bambaataa) and Nirvana "Man Who Sold the World" (David Bowie)...in fact anything off Nirvana Unplugged! ( Oh Me, Plateau, Lake of Fire, Where Did You Sleep Last Night...whole performance is full of cover excellence!). Also props to China Drum's spirited cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights"!
2414. Mike Calvert: 👍🤘🏼WHAT A SHOUT! I REQUESTED THIS A YEAR AGO IM SURE! A PIECE OF PURE GOLD!!!
2415. Eskil Tester: people sing about war but those words mean nothing because nothing changes. nobody does anything. that's the sound of silence.
2416. AxelVictrix: Shinedown simple man, or 45 live in Kansas
2417. Greg Steele: Back to Simon and Garfunkel: You should really listen to Bridge over Troubled Water if you've never heard it before. It has one of the most hauntingly beautiful vocal performances ever recorded.
2418. Jacowboy: Do people really think this is the best cover ever? I mean, sure it's okay, but it's not even the best cover for this song... and it's definetly nowhere near an actual top 50-100 covers ever... Btw, Nevermore did an interesting cover of this... VERY different and not for everyone, but a lot more interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAt86XflsOQ
2419. Glue Guns & Roses: Texas Rap request: Mr. Pookie - Crook 4 Life ❤ Big Hawk - You Already Know (Chillin with my Broad) Both late 90s early 2000s and were popular around here.
2420. SouthPaw718: Curious to see what they'd think of female metal band leads from Kitty, to Otep, to Nightwish.
2421. Pete Healey: Man you guys should check out the version with Disturbed and Myles Kennedy
2422. OnTrack Stack: Song about the soul
2423. Ashitaka1110: How about this? "Powerslave" by Testament. A great cover of an Iron Maiden classic by one of the biggest thrash metal bands that you've never heard before! Also, just for yourselves, highly recommend you check out the live version of Sound of Silence from the Conan O'Brien show, it's on Youtube. The vocalist sounds amazing live, one of the few people, it seems, who needs no autotunning or studio help and can just BELT.
2424. Louis V: not a fan of disturbed myself.. good reaction though.
2425. Mirko Žaja: If you want to react to pure trash metal, do metallica - the four horsemen
2426. Adam Schulte: Roman Cotruta I think this song is requested in the comment section of every video. They have to get to it eventually.
2427. Jay Smith: Disturbed- Stupify. Far better song to give you an idea of Disturbed!! Anyone agree?
2428. GRANT TRIBE: do you really appreciate the sound of silence lol people hearing without listening not LOL
2429. Max S.: I think this is a great take. Paul Simon said this song came to him when he had a dream about 10,000 people worshipping a neon god. I definitely think that’s the meaning of the song, but this song is timeless because it’s even more relevant today than it was in 1964
2430. Travis O: He cant hit those notes live ive seen him live with killswitch emgage locuna coil and chimaro disturbed the the mane act last i left before it was over he's horrible live thats just computers and studio you 2 should watch donny darko its the mane i thimk by the original singer but deep movie lol anyways he sounds nothing like that live.
2431. Eva wissing: Hey dont know if you like acappella but you should check out peter hollens feat. tim foust cover of the sound of silence.
2432. Mook Wolf: Geek with glasses you're annoying and because of you I'll never watch another video of yours
2433. Aaron Blair: NIGHTWISH GHOST LOVE SCORE LIVE AT WACKEN.
2434. Archie K: Cross between Howie Mandell and the agent from Californication.
2435. Michael White: Shout2000 by disturbed!!!
2436. Gen McCardell: You should have listened to the song and not watched the video. It's more powerful without the video.
2437. Michael Sanders: Ha ha. Howie , well we all look alike 😂😂😂
2438. Alpha1Charlie: Kenny bathroom is correct. He went there because of the acoustics. He liked the echo the room gave off.
2439. Michael Balxwin: A decent enough cover, but whoever said it's the best of all time was clearly high. A few better covers: Van Halen "You Really Got Me" Jimi Hendrix "All Along The Watchtower" Nirvana "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
2440. Paul Retzbach: PlushBigFoot do you mean “The Night”?
2441. Joseph Capone: Parkway drive-Chronos
2442. Bobby Muscarello: I like the original better
2443. Mike S: Love Distrubed but not this song
2444. Joe Carter: If you are a veteran or public safety person, this version of this song speaks to the fact that your darkest memories and visions revisit you at moments of silence. Sleep is not an escape sometimes but a review of shit you wish you could forget.
2445. Steve Kozlowski: Volbeat please! Either Seal the Deal or Dead but Rising
2446. R K: Well really if you want to see disturbed basically flat out explain the song have a listen to Open your eyes from the 2017 Album. Basically we are all be lied to on a day to day basis by news outlets/politicians/social media and instead of questioning it we are lapping it up, which makes it hard to tell the difference between fact and fiction real and unreal.
2447. anyware82: All the great songs people could have chosen from Disturbed and you guys choose this shit. Smh
2448. 𖤐Not Satan𖤐: Anyone remember Cog - doors?
2449. Jh: If you like this song, check them out doing it on Conan.
2450. brooke atkins: Not the song to joke around to or pause a lot
2451. Daniel Newbury: Black Sabbath - The Wizard!
2452. Brayden King: Stevie Ray Vaughan please!
2453. OJuggernautO: Do “Bloody Angel” by “Avatar”. Recently found them and this song is amazing. It’s Metal, btw.
2454. Nathaniel mallinson: Yall should check out more of Disturbed's catalog. They have some hip hop influence in their first album for sure. Others as well. I call it metal you can dance to. Look at "stupify" it's got a dancy sort of rhythm to it. It makes you wanna move. Great for those cardio days in the gym. Ya know, when you dont wanna do it but you know you have to. It will make that run fun. I would even go as far to say that they are this generation's Metallica. One of the top 5 best raido metal bands of all time.
2455. Dylan Holman: First here. This is gonna be good
2456. ProCharged HD: its another cover of the original song by genesis but they nail the emotion to it as well
2457. MuzakManSam: Best cover ever, according to people, huh? I don't even think it's the best cover Disturbed has ever done!
2458. grifmang: My dude said 'sub-tle' lol
2459. Kim Nolan: +Patricia Peterson maybe this version is a different meaning for a different time...The video definitely has a resurrection of music(real music with real instruments) which people seemed to have forgotten....and music, as something that unites us, needs to be brought back to people to find a common ground...get our heads out of technology and go back to the simplicity and creativity and connectedness that makes us human, and that music creates... (phew, ....lol!! at least that was my take on it).
2460. JXCT: You guys should react to - Queens of the stone age - A Song for the dead.
2461. Jerred Parker: Ice Nine Kills - A Grave Mistake
2462. Porkchop: You gotta listen to another Disturbed song to get the contrast between this and their actual songs. Listen to something like Stricken, The Game, prayer, or even down with the sickness
2463. beepingbeej: I don’t like this song
2464. Intrepid74656: Sabaton
2465. Cristian Lopez: You guys went down 1 knotch
2466. Tom Thontor: This a great song. An amazing cover. It does NOT represent Disturbed’s typical sound. You should totally check out some of their other stuff.
2467. Maurilhio Nobrega: Hi guys! How about some reggae?!?!?!?! Just to help you out a bit: Steel Pulse - "Chant A Psalm" or "Taxi Driver" (musically they are very interesting) Lucky Dube - "Cool Down" or "Soultaker" Beef - "Late Night Sessions" Alpha Blondy - "I Love Paris" or "Rocking Time" or "Ragga Gangstar" Morgan Heritage - "How Come" Gentleman - "Dem Gone"
2468. James Worley: Just STFU
2469. tailsof1Leo: jakeybball well you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But I do wonder why you are watching this video and took the time to read through the comments if you feel that Disturbed is garbage & ruined the song. I will say that the original creator of this song was impressed by Disturbed ‘s cover of their song & the original video by Disturbed has millions of views. So while you are entitled to your opinion a lot of people would disagree with what you said.
2470. Henry Rollen: Guys love your channel. Disturbed is in my top 10 for rock. This is a fantastic cover. I like the way the band puts their own twist on it. The thing is, this is not really how the band sounds. They are a heavy rock group. I really hope you guys do another disturbed reaction video. Next time around check out something from my favorite album of theirs, The Sickness. Any of the songs from that album will do. They are all amazing. If you want some suggestions though try out stupifiy, down with the sickness, the game, or another cover they do, shout. Thanks guys for all the work you put into these reaction videos. Keep on "droppin plates."
2471. Alexis Renteria: To be honest, I still prefer the original. Dio kills it
2472. Mike Sisley: Humanity is senseless, that is his point. They have forgotten to understand what humanity is, what humanity feels, what humanity says, and nobody is listening, feeling. Wake up.
2473. LeBraun Newkirk: DISTURBED - Decadence
2474. Shane Hamilton: coheed and cambria-feathers
2475. Joseph Buttrum: I've noticed you guys have liked Slipknots stuff so far. Surprised no one has suggested checking out mudvayne. Not falling or scream with me would be a good intro song for them.
2476. TheBoot: Simon & Garfunkel wrote, then sang the message warning us. They, in their brilliant writing of lyrics, sang that to us in a brilliantly soft, yet stern. Begging for us to hear their warning. David Draiman sang that song in a "Disturbed" and emotionally angered, soul touching way. because we didn't head Simon & Garfunkel's warning.
2477. David Chris: Biohazard “punishment” music video!
2478. Kazeshini: I made the same mistake to listen to the original before listening to this cover and it biased my opinion of the cover greatly on the bad side. Because of that i didnt give this song a second try. That was foolish of me because the next time i listened to it i was floored to how good it was.
2479. Amy King: Always agree with Tool anything. Actually MAYNARD anything! But yeah Tool is my favorite of the 3. I honestly would recommend something like H., The Patient, and Pushit.. Because just from watching you guys for a while now I can guess what you will or will not start feeling.. And who doesn't want to start a song off being badass immediately? And don't get me wrong, I damn near worship Tool. They can do no wrong. In fact, of my twenty something tattoos, The Tool logo is the only band I love greatly enough to be an old ass lady in the nursing home with a sagging old ass Tool tattoo on my upper arm ☺️💜
2480. Colloquialism And The Like: The Devil Wears Prada - Hey John What's Your Name Again?
2481. Nate Fontana: Disturbed-Stricken
2482. Sans2198: Thanks for all the great videos and staying true to your opinions on all genres of music. Please continue to stay true to your real reactions, its the best part of your content.
2483. david viteri: When the Crowds are Gone - SAVATAGE cheers!
2484. Bayou Biker: Garfunkel was discouraged from making musical noise in the house he grew up in. The "silence" is about music being "hushed". The words on the subway walls and tournament Halls are words of other people who have something to say but chose to write it instead of speak it. Those words are stories. Those stories are silenced.
2485. janis317: This was released in 1964, when the Vietnam war was just starting to ramp up and just after Kennedy was killed.
2486. eric dixon: they did a better job covering land of confusion. also the rest of the bands music sound not at all anything like this song again and again and again people keep giving these fanservice requests that arent the best representations of the bands. ryan and george over and over keep telling you guys to request songs that best represent the bands on a whole so pls guys get with the program. let them get the best rep songs first then request the offshoots.....
2487. Brent Anton: now listen to something heavy by them like Inside the Fire. Heavy stuff man. Especially since that song is about his ex girlfriend committing suicide.
2488. RosettaStonedTV: Sleep - Dragonaut has
2489. Mark Nicholson: Try Lecrae, Run on the album "After the Music Stops."All I can say was that 'wow' bumpin, totally unexpected.
2490. Skavar4000: No the Howie Mandel shit wasn't needed FFS...
2491. Leo Hernandez: This is a cover of a classic.. But best cover ever was Jimi Hendrix "all along the watch tower".. It was so good and completely reimagined that Bob Dylan( who sang the original) changed his version to the Jimi version for decades Btw disturbed did a good version of another cover song originally from Genesis called land of confusion
2492. Chad Miller: Van Halen - Eruption/You Really Got Me
2493. Mark Sosa: Listen to Draiman's performance before you make remarks on his appearance, laymen!
2494. David B: Disturbed - Stricken. Pleaseeeeee
2495. Piisuke: Recommending Kamelot - Center of the Universe. Although, you're welcome to pick anything from their library, Soul Society, When the Lights Are Down, Once Upon a Time, Forever are but a few.
2496. hatred is power: be prepared to be blown away
2497. Scott Sales: https://youtu.be/VQ9uTKItUyM
2498. Connor Flynn: Unpopular opinion: this cover is awful and does an injustice to the original
2499. Steve Kozlowski: +Matas G they did? I missed that somehow
2500. Scott Charlton: He looks more like Kevin Pollack, actually.
2501. Timmy Presley: Alright now kick it notch. Indestructible by disturbed
2502. Red King of Sulphur: Goddamn, I still get chills listening to this song
2503. Mark Fox: Their luve version on Conan is just as good or better ....live
2504. meowpurpur: The song needed to come back. The song was originally a profacy about the future, that no one listened to. And this version was more of a wake up call. Almost showing the truth. Neon could just be something bright such as a phone as when the original came out there were no smartphones. I personally believe which ever one (Simon or Garfunkel) wrote it had a dream or a feeling about it.
2505. Kenny Roberts: Here's an interview of David Draiman about The Sound of Silence. https://youtu.be/8JoCUpV3Hgw
2506. Григорий Табакаев: Chris Sees If you mean live version from CONAN then it's also autotuned and pitch-corrected in some parts. Not saying that Draiman isn't able to sing in pitch, those corrections a simply cosmetic, but still, not full representation
2507. Mark Clark: Please do more disturbed
2508. Bob Hohman: Alien Weaponry- Kai Tangata or Holding My Breath. Interesting thrash metal band from New Zealand.
2509. Tyler Jackson: I thought y'all would never do this one... so grateful!
2510. PongGod: Now for your next reference point, try listening to something more typical of Disturbed like "Stupefy". That's a great song/video combo.
2511. Ohsaint p: Vinnie Paz- End of Days Vinnie Paz- End of Days Vinnie Paz- End of Days Vinnie w- End of days
2512. Adnan Hasan: Its really hard to say which is the best cover of all time. Like any well written song or music composition it is open to interpretation. As far as this cover is concerned its definitely in my top 3. Just wondering have there been other bands like disturbed who have done covers of classics like these or really covers of any songs which are outside their genre.
2513. Wouter: Dana White has a great voice
2514. VinnySOB: You should have just done the original. This is tripe in comparison. Some songs should not be redone. Disturbed is a great band, but this song is not near to their best work and I am not sure why people requested it over their other songs, or why so many people request remakes at all, as rap, hip hop, and RB are your primary comfort zone. Even the originals will be something new to you, and a remake is rarely better. Johnny Cash's remake of Hurt is a rare exception.
2515. ReverenXero: Naw doggie, that Howie comment was perfectly timed lol
2516. Ryan Hathcock: Speaking of the most amazing covers... check out Hurt by Johnny Cash
2517. maxr4073: This song is a prophecy of mankind and their obsession with the cellphone and or social media. That they would rather be glued to their phones rather than communicate with each other face to face.
2518. John Deming: Agreed about Grace by Jeff Buckley. One of my all time favorite songs. Jeff Buckley can straight up sing, and that's one of his most interesting compositions of a song. Also "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" is a great piece of powerful, emotional singing.
2519. Wibo-: My Name Is Human by Highly Suspect
2520. shivam khandelwal: Porcupine tree - arriving somewhere but not here , anesthetize better than any other song you heard till now
2521. Joseph O'Toole: A Perfect Circle - Judith
2522. cajunO21: only the brothers talk during the most important parts of the movie/show/video... you know yall do!.. it drives me nuts! anyway, great response/review. The point of the song was to make people think about the less fortunate and stop being selfish. In essence stop ignoring your surroundings. (Tenement Halls was a place for the homeless in the 60's) the "writings on the wall" was a cry to the public to recognize the current issues.(just like today's graffiti) As for the "neon god" referance is multi layered and has multiple meanings. In essence, what is more important to you then your fellow human? Your car, oversized house or mayby a boat? what do you covet the most? (as an example, what flashes or outshines to you the most?) When the original song was written, it had a much deeper meaning then today. (sorry guys, write your own songs!) While it still has meaning, Simon and Garfunkel tried warning us 50 years ago.
2523. Firan25: +Ricky Spanish yea but lets be realistic here. There are A LOT of musicians that have done covers of songs. Some people dont even realize they are covers either.
2524. Kashmirknight: Way better than the original.
2525. CFHforever: Sounds like an American Idol audition... cheesy
2526. Lunar Legend: that 2:30 pause really killed the momentum. pausing even a few seconds earlier would probably have fixed that
2527. martinaee: I do like the cover, but I have to admit I'm not as enamored with it as a lot of people seem to be. Disturbed is sick overall though. Lost in Vegas should listen to some of their biggest songs if they haven't already.
2528. Daniel Lucas: You need to listen to 8th of November by Big and Rich!!!!
2529. Ruthanna Tepp: +PalmDesertRockI never claimed it was the best cover ever... I do however feel this is the best version of this song.
2530. Austin Wilder: Its about death bro. That was the river styx
2531. chiefmegadeth: Amazing cover if not the best cover ever! This is one song that he sings better live with the orchestra. So epic!
2532. Shailove Ranjan: Why you gotta kill it with the explaining haha
2533. Plankton Revere: A Perfect Circle : Imagine
2534. weed lmosa: You guys should do Cult of Luna/Julie Christmas - The Wreck of S.S. Needle.
2535. Travis Ballard: ALIEN WEAPONRY-KAI TANGATA
2536. Bummi: Sorry my english is not so good, so i tell it in german, Der Neongott ist nicht die Tehnologie an sich, es ist die Ablenkung vom Wesentlichen.
2537. Kryptonite: disturbed did some good covers, too --> land of confusion... but not this one lol
2538. That's Entertainment: It is about institutional poverty. Neon God is capitalism.
2539. Frosty The Snowman: Rush - Spirit of the Radio
2540. Trevor Book: MORE GOJIRA!!!
2541. David Carly: Tesla, What You Give
2542. John Bronkema: Ozzy, diary of madman! You guys need some Randy Rhoades guitar
2543. Tommy Knight: The band is what they're talking about when he says they bow and pray to the neon god they made as in the band's name is up in neon lights all because the fans made them popular love yalls vids guy's keep it up
2544. wantedcolt: Please react to YSIV the song
2545. Ian Flanagan: you heard it in meme video with elmo on a snowy street. The cover of No quarter by Tool is the best cover ever
2546. J F: I think this version has even more impact if you've heard Disturbed before...
2547. SamJ1441: Try Disturbed Down with the Sickness
2548. William Mueller: THAT is the greatest cover ever.
2549. David Driscoll: Definitely need to do the live on Conan version now!
2550. Marcelo Melgaço: What cool theme is that at the beginning?
2551. bornagainwierdo: You had to google the sound of silence?? You guys are really not in a position to be reviewing music. All your videos are from such an uneducated standpoint. So annoying
2552. Armando Fragale: Fear Factory - Shock
2553. Mallory Graves: I’ll give him that the soul patch is *only* acceptable with that piercing. 😂
2554. Daniel Tanaka: Bad wolves - zombies (cranberries cover)
2555. Zakaria Albalushi: React to some bucket head pikes!
2556. Josephious Brosif: Alter Bridge - "This Side of Fate"
2557. dbellsdb: "neon god they made" is celebrity in general listening to others views instead of your own thinking they know better when they are just another man/woman but you make them more
2558. Mari ZenSoul: the song was written in his bathroom, in the dark where he could concentrate, he said the tiles in the bathroom served as an echo chamber, Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other"
2559. Conner Cross: Glad to see you guys doing some Disturbed! I don't like this band as much as I used to, but they do still have some good songs. You should check them out again, Sound of Silence is very different from their usual style. Down With the Sickness is their biggest song, but I'd also recommend Ten Thousand Fists, Indestructible, or Asylum
2560. Naum Alberto: Boy Hits Car - I'm a cloud
2561. taup184: Yes, orchestra and metal blend together beautifully... In fact, there is an entire sub-genre based off of this that I keep trying to get them to react to... Nightwish guys... react to Nightwish. 😉
2562. B W: Ah man you guys gotta do "down with the sickness"
2563. Honey: Please review “Asylum” by Disturbed... it’s incredible...
2564. Brahm Tancredi: Oroborus - Gojira
2565. Joseph Campbell: KING'S X - We were born to be loved! Fade! It's Love! (Any Song!)
2566. Joseph Dougan: 10000 years, Bastard Samurai, Rumors of War, I could go on and on
2567. Bobby Moore: Check out Todd Hoffman do this same song. From what I understand, he quit the show Goldrush to follow his music career and with good cause.
2568. Elmo Little: Too much chat, guys. Sometimes you just have have to experience. This was Simon and Garfunkel 2.1. And the movie was “The Graduate.” A Classic.
2569. M Porten: Rise Against- Savior
2570. HeyYouGuys: The original song was made in like the 60s so I don't think the neon gods are technology
2571. Raoul Duke: Primus deserves a second chance!! To Defy the Laws of Tradition or Jerry was a race car driver
2572. Ernie McGowin: How about some country rock. Like Copperhead Road by Steve Earle.
2573. T Mosier: His live performance of this song on Conan received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance. David Draimon was classically trained to be Hazzan or Cantor. Check out Down With The Sickness for his famous distortion. Also Godsmack when you get a chance.
2574. stealthRUSH: exactly
2575. Robert H: Cmon guys do Drumhead Trial by Protest the Hero!
2576. Tazmanian66devil: David Townsend?
2577. Drew Pratt: Conan version is much better than the studio version.
2578. Eric Weeks: Meatloaf Paradise by the Dashboard Lights
2579. Christopher Rossi: Wish you would have done anything else from Disturbed😞
2580. Jonathan Wright: Best cover ever is The Bangle's cover of " Wake me Up (Before you go go) by Wham!
2581. Ass4ssin23: Body Count - KKK Bitch and/or There Goes the Neighborhood
2582. Mustang Debbie: Technology in the 60's would be television or the"boob tube" as it was called taking our attention away from real human contact.
2583. robert Sullivan: The live version of the sound of silence by passenger is really good a lot of heart
2584. Adam Hendricks: You guys should not have analyzed the lyrics for this version of the song, as you know it was not written by Disturbed, and was written quite some time ago.
2585. UnWastedMovies: so much. It's barely a cover anymore as it's the best Tribute to Dio there is!
2586. hoosd42: Mook Wolf no, the orchestra is way more muted and there is a acoustic guitar riff playing at the end in the studio version Dave’s voices has a slight echo effect in the live performance. These minor differences give the live version way more depth.
2587. Anil Kakar: Love you guys but I don't think you need to interpret the lyrics of a cover. Would love for you to compare the musicianship of the current version over the other. Not a sermon, just a thought :)
2588. Bgtip: The Sound of Silence - Disturbed feat. Myles Kennedy. That's what you want to listen to ;)
2589. Zebulon Swearingen: Heavy Critic Well said. That entire band is talented.
2590. madmanmatt12: Tyler Childers - Nose on the grindstone
2591. crosier 357: METAL CHURCH, IN HARMS WAY! PLEASE!!!!!
2592. Romério Evaristo: Do Grace by Jeff Buckley guys!
2593. Evaldas Bumeika: A second chance for Machine Head,please. A Thousand Lies maybe?
2594. Angela Costello: Look up the one of Disturbed with Myles Kennedy, it's amazing.
2595. Peyton Waddell: Hed PE Renegade
2596. SlimGoody: Sinea O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You 💗🎼🔥💗🎼🔥 PLEASE PLEASE
2597. TheWompinator: Bad Wolves- Zombie
2598. o0jordie0o: Disturbed - Another way to die
2599. Anna-kay Chaplin: PLEASE DO A REVIEW OF: Gimmie grime freestyle- Lady Leshurr. Barzzzzz for days you guys will love it!!!
2600. Brad Cooney: +Collin Beal If you're referring to the singer, you are simply ignorant.
2601. mr198221: That is Howie Mandel, George.
2602. Kevin Parizek: "It's religion that separates humanity, but it's music that brings us together." This song is great but this song doesn't represent the true sound of Disturbed. Listen to Down with the Sickness, 10,000 Fists, Stricken, Stupify, indestructible, or Voices that's there true sound.
2603. D Setiadi: Silence please!!!
2604. Brett Penning: Thank you guys so much for reacting to this song!!!
2605. Christa Bartz: I've never before heard a band so completely not understand the song that they're performing. This cover was way over-performed and I found it deeply disappointing. Used to like Disturbed, but this turned me off totally.
2606. Mark McConnell: agreed
2607. Ivy Boutwell: David Draiman is a classically trained vocalist. His undertaking of this performance was monumental and subtle at the same time. This song is so far off the beaten path for Disturbed, as most of their music is dramatically harder/ different. Great reaction and a fair assessment of the video. Keep it up guys.
2608. Logan Knorr: Remake of Simon and Garfunkel classic. Apples to Oranges but both are great versions
2609. Gruen Jill: It's the advent of Television
2610. David O: Would like to see them react to an In Flames song, like Trigger or Alias... Something melodic, but still reminiscent of the Melodic Death Metal Roots from In Flames' past. Rock on!
2611. miconis123: Garden of Eden - Guns and Roses Sweating Bullets - Megadeath Devil's Dance - Metallica
2612. Adam Cushing: In 2016 AXSTV had a concert series in the summer and Carolina Rebellion was the first concert they aired and this song was part of the Disturbed set and it was just friggen awesome
2613. Gofu Ckurslf: I love this cover unfortunately, disturbed got Simon and Garfunkles original intent of the song completely wrong. The video disturbed put out while could be relevant if not taken literally made it completely confusing for people that dont know the original. I suppose it's all relative but for the musically ignorant the original message is lost on a young generation of new listeners.
2614. Chas Phares: You don't really need to do Disturbed ever again.......please.
2615. John Bachmann: If they do Kiss My Ashes Goodbye they should make sure to do the full song and not just one part of it
2616. ficklefingeroffate: Guess I’m in the minority but this cover sounds horrible.
2617. smokymiktoky: Now that you heard the soft side of disturbed you show listen to any song you choose from them he is trained in opra great voice and he is a great artist that has been around for a long time
2618. Strung Up: I think I might be the only person who doesn't like that song. I feel like I'm missing out
2619. karl white: Garbage. This sucks. Mr. Whattttttttt
2620. Lez mokercrew: ULTRA TRASH by CRISIX. You won’t regret🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
2621. BreeKayBe: +Ricky Spanish he's far from not talented, he's got an amazing voice and is classically trained.
2622. keeto787: Cattle Decapitation- Manufactured Extinct
2623. Ian McGregor: Hey guys, this song is dope as shit. But y’all should really check out the “Whiplash” version of Caravan. The drumming is fucking crazy
2624. Powg: If you guys revisit Motorhead do Orgasmatron
2625. Brendan Gibson: React to Polyphia- O.D.
2626. Patrick Peterson: Thank you for your thoughts, as usual you make me think outside of my opinions and I appreciate
2627. RiderofStorms: My interpretation of it is that, everyone has a song to share, but the song isnt shared, if it is no one conects they hear it but dont understand it, talking but not discussing what they heard. The silence is this lack of discussion, songs(actual songs not metaphorical) fill this silence wanting to reach out to them, get them to discuss to understand.
2628. Goldenthrone Music: Been wanting them to do a Nightwish song for a while. Hopefully they get around to it soon.
2629. Phill Rufus: +Kristoffer Lodesjö  I know, but I'm only talking about this particular cover. Context and meaning can change. This cover is a completely different tone to the original, like most Disturbed covers. When any artist covers a song they usually do so with a different sound, emotion and meaning, often as a way to show people their personal take away and interpretation. It doesn't invalidate the original, just redirects it.
2630. Pug Shorty: This is not the right introduction to Disturbed. Y'all missed the mark again.
2631. The Forlorn Knight: Do some more covers. Especially of songs or from bands you've heard already Death - Painkiller Metallica - Mercyful Fate Dream Theater - Master of Puppets Others I can't think of right now!
2632. Adam Gillespie: Need more Jamey johnson and rittz..
2633. Tamarama: Relevant to our times. Written in ... ready for it?...1965. Scary resonance here ... Bless all who live here in 2018. Peace and Love to all ...
2634. aplny: I liked the live duet they did of this with Myles Kennedy.
2635. Tarush Airi: Guys please cover My name is Human by Highly Suspect.
2636. Robert Bruce: I actually like the idea of this song - a very dark and slow version of an earlier pop hit. Like Gary Jukes' slow serious remake of Tears For Fears's hit "Mad World." But a BIG NO to Disturbed's use of obvious AUTO-TUNE. Meanwhile, we Baby Boomers are loving the Millennials recycling our best stuff! Chers
2637. Eric Anderson888: Brazil 66 Fool on the Hill is the best cover.
2638. raider101416: Can I ever get Machine Head (RIP) Davidian ?
2639. Tanya Flathers: When Simon and Garfunkle did the song it was in a way to protest the war that was going on, with the loss of life. Jump head to Modern times we have phones that run our lives. You have people who text and drive that cause accidents. "Praying to a neon god they made" When our cell phones are out if you look at some people they have it in both hands looking like they are praying, interlocking fingers, and phones look neon compared to the black and white televisions of the 50's and 60's.
2640. sam sweetheart: the song in rhe air tonite by in this moment would be great!
2641. SlimGoody: PLEASE PLEASE DO EVERLAST - WHAT IT'S LIKE!!!! OR O'CONNOR - NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU!!!!
2642. Leah C: MUST listen to Gary Jules version of "Mad World"...hauntingly beautiful
2643. Josh Mayfield: Oh god yes. Great suggestion!
2644. Caleb Vinson: Y’all gotta do some josh turner for your next country one
2645. Daniel Doss: Howie Mandel LMAO
2646. Hugh Livingston Barclay: It’s Political!! It’s about people who feel they don’t have a voice... up against the big cats who have all the say’ This song has nothing to do with ‘disturbed music video’
2647. Kevin Fitzpatrick: I mean, yeah his voice is good, and kudos to them for bringing this song to a new audience. But. The way the song has spread has been a mix of "omg Disturbed have made this amazing song" when it's a cover, and "beautiful metal cover of Sound of Silence" when it is in no way even slightly metal, they just happen to be a metal band.
2648. cole Marie: It’s a great cover.... and I like very very passionately *hate* Disturbed.
2649. mlpmlpmlp02: Y’all should do. Emerson Drive-Moments. A real tear jerker!! But so beautiful
2650. Shawn Taylor: Thank you for finally reacting to this song! One of my favorite covers of all time
2651. Catherine3385: Disturbed version is amazing
2652. Chris Wilcox: Check Nude from Radiohead. Not metal or hip hop so maybe its a left turn for you guys. Anyways, i enjoy the channel
2653. moffe2k: It might be mentioned before, but this song is not the typical sound of Disturbed, so you should react to another Disturbed song later down the line.
2654. YOW Gyrl: #Trumpocalypse
2655. Z-Soul 512: Jam Sena that or hereafter
2656. azaman4: Steve Vai please
2657. Randy Cozza: React to anything by Stevie Ray Vaugh
2658. ScottieBoi12: I don't think you should watch the video when you listen to songs. I think it's distracting and can sometimes steer you away from your own imagination. Love you guys! Keep up the great work!
2659. John Crane: Gag. Love the original. Not this version. It's better than the live versions they attempt though. Too much forced anger. When it was written, the emotion wasn't forced. This seems pretentious.
2660. Sam Devonport Photography: you need need need to do NIGHTWISH: "Ghost Love Score (Live at wacken) it is a masterpiece
2661. B1 Merry: Finally YES! Live version better. You guys So engrossed. Love it. His voice is amazing especially when you know he has a lisp. And he is a super smart guy. The original was written in a hotel room with a neon sign flashing in the window. Can’t remember which one wrote I think it was Simon.
2662. dawn henderson: You guys have to react to the Video of Venom from Eminem!!!!
2663. Mike Sykes: Please do ...the Dead South...in hell I'll be in good company.
2664. Growler King: disslike thiss iiIi.
2665. sassypants chisholm: Depression man.
2666. Bryon Stanley: I would love to here yall react to Vince Gill. He is a very talented artist
2667. Keith Nickalo: I think it's "hallowed darkness my old friend" not "hello darkness"
2668. Chris Raj: Subtle
2669. JDIZZLE THEPUNISHER: Ransom- no introduction
2670. Jorge Barron: I get why it was the most requested, but for an analysis of Disturbeds sound in their best tracks, would have to be their Believe album. Most would recommend Prayer, I personally would recommend Remember if you ever do another take on the band. Its full, has great vocal range, beefy guitars as well as melodies. Overall the best of what I believe theyve composed together as a band without one element oversaturating the rest.
2671. Sebastian Armas: Thank You Scientist - Mr. Invisible
2672. Stanislav Katkov: Should have just reacted to a song by Disturbed. Any will do since all are the same :)
2673. Thomas Kilavoss: How could you leave us by NF
2674. RachKY: https://youtu.be/foNN0ID_Fpo
2675. Einar Ananiassen: I really love hard rock and heavy metal. That is probably why I really dislike Disturbed. I find it pretentious and overrated. His way of singing is the hard rock version of R&B-divas going all over the scale singing the national anthem, while lifting their hands up and down following the tone they are singing.
2676. Bambam NJ: This version is OK but I still say Simon and Garfunkel's version is better. Remember the time period. Early 60's. Lots of turmoil. JFK assassination. So lots of imagery. Ultimately Paul Simon's intention for the song was generational separation and youth separation. He was 21 when he wrote the song and he was feeling that no one was listening to his generation.. for numerous reason, including societal upheaval.
2677. bennikk: This cover is so so overrated. Original is so much better.
2678. Skip Wiseman: Got dang it Bobby. You can't get a true emotional reaction when you stop every 20 seconds. It's a journey in it's entirety. Not in bits and pieces. Gahhhhhhhhhh lol.
2679. Gary Elshaw: God, it's such a bullshit cover.
2680. Adam Šima: Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes to Midnight ! - Fear of the Dark ! Pleeeeeeaaaseeeee !!!
2681. George Martinez: Old school bad ass but way fuckin over played
2682. Nothing but Sandy: Pink Floyd- comfortably numb (live in pulse version)
2683. Ahmed Safdar: This cover is a bit too auto-tuned for me. But please listen to more Simon & Garfunkel!
2684. Lorddominion: I personally like the Nevermore version of this song a lot better than the disturbed one XD
2685. keithmarty: Y’all should do a live version (on Conan or w/Myles Kennedy). The video is distracting. David’s voice is amazing!
2686. Brandon Lytle: And also because of what you said about 10,000 people you should definitely review their track Ten Thousand Fists... There's a reason for this...
2687. morgan c: This cover didn't bring anything to the table over the original for me. Just my opinion.
2688. M Holb: Ok, here we go: this song is allegorical. It's talking about the masses of people all over the world and our country caught up in the miseries of modern life to the point that they will not listen, will not speak about the atrocities perpetrated upon them by, I'll say, 'those in control of our society'. They will not listen to voices of dissent, they will not speak out against violations of human rights, the murder of our citizens, the debacles of our government. The song is saying, musicians are a venue to get this message out---or it used to be, until now it's all about the money and the trash that is modern music. This is a protest song, pure and simple. It's brilliant and this version of it, apocalyptic because, regardless of the wake-up call it encompasses, the sheeple of our world couldn't fucking care less. Smug slaves of their corporate masters, they will ignore the death of our freedoms and the massacres of the innocent as they sit in their contemptible 'silence'.
2689. Piisuke: I would say this is one of the best covers of all time. Staying true to the original, but placing enough flavour to make it their own. The best cover of all time is of course Johnny Cash - Hurt.
2690. Brian T: Disturbed also did a good version of Land Of Confusion by Genesis - I think you'd enjoy the original. Great video too.
2691. Jean-Philippe Moreau: I get goosebumbs everytime i hear that song. The original was great but this one has so much power. Great choice. You should try other Disturbed songs, like Striken, Down With the Sickeness or 10 000 Fists.
2692. Ja Ova: This shit aint the best cover of all time, and its not even as good as the original. They trashed this song. And i like disturbed
2693. OEMR: +J L you definitely don't, I also don't respect those who shit in mouths
2694. JMG Darkest: YES
2695. Tom Tanaka: Down With The Sickness!
2696. Blub blub Mc glub glub: Oooo ah ah ah ah
2697. Mel Lopez: would love to see your reaction to Marc Broussard- Let Me Leave, it's bayou soul and boy can sang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMPuQvTHQ9Q
2698. Steve Kelih: Good cover of a great song but you definitely need to check out their music... Stricken is a great song. Thanks.. You guys are Kool! 👍
2699. Taylor Lee: The best cover of all time, for me, is Jeff Buckley's take on Hallelujah. But this song is up there.
2700. Dr. Disaster: Disturbed Sound of Silence... quite fitting.
2701. greasegun34: I thought they did an incredible job on "Shout" as well. I never actually listened to the lyrics until I heard Disturbed perform it. All of Disturbed's covers are really good.
2702. Eskil Tester: the song is about war. Simon and garfunkel sang this as a warning. disturbed sings it angry after hell broke loose because we didn't listen
2703. kyle stewart: Original so much better!!!
2704. Charles DeLancy: stevie ray vaughn - texas flood
2705. Alpha1Charlie: Lost in Vegas... You almost had it. There was a division. Mid to late 60's, between the Government, the media outlets. The peoples voices were silent to their ears. Simon tells the story, but Disturbed takes you on that journey. Voices being held prisoner.... It is a deep song, filled with the anger felt, the sadness and sorrow of being ignored. Edit* spelling correction
2706. Dredzone The Blogger: I would highly recommend you react to almost ANYTHING from a really cool Acapella group called VoicePlay. Check em out. You won't be sorry.
2707. doug marcus: no, the best is william shatner's cover of pulp's "common people" pure punk from the shat!
2708. Dave Alan: Check this out. Great to hear powerful vocalists covering amazing songs in their own way. https://youtu.be/wKMP81DVLLk Axel kills it.
2709. Max Contreras: The intro to third eye is great
2710. Aaron Hickman: This is playing when the van door shuts and you realize there is no candy.
2711. Aki U: This is a band that is very underrated, great dark room for Canada. Rip David Gold. Their second release Persuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth is my favorite, shows both death doom and acoustic songs all in one.
2712. J L: Dragon Tamer That’s complete and utter nonsense. Sound of Silence has nothing to do with the Vietnam War. Either you made that up yourself or you read an article that retconned the lyrics to fit their agenda.
2713. Pinball Wizard: Infinite Capacity I agree
2714. Howard Schindler: now listen to disturbed - down with the sickness 😎😎. their most popular song
2715. mycroft16: Another aspect to consider in understanding this cover is that it is almost a response and continuation of the original. The original is powerful and beautiful, but it's a forward looking warning, look where we are headed, please... heed my warning that I might save you. This song, from a metal artist is much angrier as it builds. You didn't listen. You could have prevented this, but look where we are now.
2716. Nate Eller: I would love to hear you guys react to the group Home Free! They're an A Capella group that is considered "country", but they cover a lot of songs that are Pop/Blues and Country. They have 4 guys that have amazing voices and their Beat Boxer is incredible!! They just came out with a new video for their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow" that is fantastic! You will not believe that their are no instruments involved! They have over 100 original songs & Covers.
2717. illegal kiwi: Iron bound by overkill, pls no more shitty covers
2718. stratmatt22: Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
2719. Tiffany West: Yes!
2720. King David: Wow. I waisted my time with this video. Stfu then comment at the end.
2721. Kirk Bienvenu: Howie might be older, but David was in the public eye way before "Deal or no deal". It is strange to me when people have no idea who David Draiman is.
2722. nigga: Can u react to xxxtentacion new music video plzzzz its called moonlight
2723. Tony West: Down with the sickness
2724. Jeremy Lacuna: I'm not sure about the best cover of all time. I still hold personal reservations for Mushroomhead's cover of "Crazy" (yes...the Seal song) & Five Ginger Death Punch feat. Tech N9ne "Mama Said Knock You Out." That said, Disturbed is an awesome band & this is yet another phenomenal cover by them. One side note I've always found interesting about this particular song is the line "ten thousand people maybe more." It just, for me anyway, has always been a subtle callback to their song (& album... where they coincidentally covered Phil Collins "Land of Confusion") titled "Ten Thousand Fists." If you haven't heard it, there's a line in the chorus where he sings "You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of ten thousand fists in the air."
2725. Evan Phillips: Disturbed rules but this song is not that good. Do land of confusion, deify, or forgiven
2726. Jeffrey Reid Pittman: Holy shit. I literally got chills from dude. Um, yeah. Wow!
2727. Rahman 82: Of all the songs in their library, people were pushing for this song?seriously? Down with the Sickness, anyone?Stupify, Stricken,Remember, Vengeful One, hell their cover of Land of Confusion is better than this.
2728. Dani P: Please react to ERRA - Dementia
2729. Allispie: All bald white guys look the same, huh George? Lol "The Waterfront" by Intervals.
2730. Deborah Beck: Damn, you guys make me feel my age, lol. I've always viewed this song as a subtext to my memories of the noise and movements of the 60's. So much going on and leaders not listening. Civil rights movement. Antiwar demonstrations. Women's Movement. Two Kennedy's and King being murdered. The 60's were traumatic and this song captures that feeling.
2731. Mitch McKillip: What a soggy turd. Took a good, but overplayed song and turned it into radio metal bullshit.
2732. Prince Castro: if you ever watched wrestling in the 90s you've definitely heard a disturbed song lol
2733. Geri Messina: OK - it is my opinion that "Disturbed" took this song to a whole other place. That is just by the inflection, visual images and facial expression, they are deliberately attempting to change the bring their own meaning to the song (valid with music). I feel as though they may be bringing it to a different, darker place. It's an intense, moving song to begin with, but my sense is that they are playing with the meaning and with how to do it with minimal change.
2734. Vic Maelstrom: Same
2735. Cat Giles: This is a very spiritual song!
2736. Renee White: Love you guys! I have a challenge for you... Il Divo's Mama.
2737. Benjamin Jump: My chemical romance- the black parade or the last words
2738. Dave Lovallo.: Neon God = TV
2739. Ragnarr Loðbrók: where the uh ah ah ah ah! at?
2740. Jackie Tearie: Nah, check out "Prayer", about 1/3 of the album is like this. 'Darkness' is just as soft, but a bit slower without the atmospheric tone.
2741. TJ W: The song came out in 1964. The tech age hadn't begone and the space age was just beginning. The flower power age was hitting full swing. I think it was about where society was at that time. I also think it was about the generational conflict of the hippies versus the status quo.
2742. Jimmy Lester: All I want to do is listen to the music without a bunch of click-bait talking heads.
2743. Joseph Supino: you gus suck
2744. six ink: Nice. Since Disturbed is new to yall, check out Down with the Sickness, studio version not video version. It would be awesome to see that.
2745. dexta32084: It’s a great cover. But best cover of all time? That’s a tall order. I probably give that title to Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” or Hendrix’s cover of “All Along the Watchtower.”
2746. Tyler Rickel: Nevermore The River Dragon Has Come. Great song.
2747. SlimGoody: PLEASE PLEASE DO EVERLAST - WHAT IT'S LIKE!!!! OR O'CONNOR NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU!!!!
2748. Happy Camper: Hallujuah By Jeff Buckley!!
2749. Lone Wolf: overrated song
2750. raymond vasquez: since this isn't a Disturbed original I believe your viewers would have enjoyed it more if you focused on the execution of a cover not the meaning of the song.
2751. Tara Gragg: Nobody can cover them. Ever. My ears are bleeding. Check out Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard. No offense.
2752. MddlHeD: Mudvayne - Death Blooms
2753. Nakita Butcher: I can't get enough of y'all tonight!
2754. Jesse Mccullough: disturbed is just embarrassing
2755. GRANT TRIBE: yap yap yap yap
2756. Moldy Bread: I like their old stuff. Disturbed - Meaning of Life Is a good one. Good reaction thanks.
2757. Les Warry: Not the greatest cover of all time. In the interest of free thinking, I'll say no more
2758. Spinning Top: could you do a first reaction to Babymetal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro-_cbfdrYEA The link is for the final track in a five song line-up for a first ever appearance outside of Japan. The three young teenage Japanese girls supposed to be playing in a side tent to their few fans (at that time) at a large festival in the UK, at the last moment they got bumped onto the main stage. So, instead of playing to 2500 fans, they were now opening in front of 60000 metal heads who, for the most part had never even heard of them. Fear and panic that would have rendered normal humans to a standstill was overcome, and by the end of a five track set, they not only survived, but totally won over the whole place and have gone from strength to strength since.
2759. ThrashGod Cid: only thing to improve that cover would be some saxophone
2760. Jamal Sampson: This song is great. Softer than their earlier material; but I guess that's how the industry is. Great reaction!
2761. Khalgaming: Glad you guys reacted to Disturbed. Certainly like to see you react to a orignal song of theirs since I can't find a video of you reacting to them besides this one. I would recommend Stupify, Stricken, or Indestructible. I find their sound is very powerful and your breakdown of the this cover regarding views on the music I agree was spot on.
2762. Daniel: Audioslave - Cochise Do it y'all. Playlist for sure.
2763. Mozart Duarte: Helmet - wilma's rainbow-unsung-in the meantime
2764. Alisha Hatcher: I would love for y'all to react to "Would" Alice in chains. Also thank you so much for getting around to this song.
2765. John Gowen: You guy should react to kids cover 46 and 2 by Tool. Its amazing.
2766. greatnezz10: Ozzy Osbourner-Dreamer
2767. Chris Davies: Audioslave - show me how to live Muse - knights of cydonia
2768. Kenneth Frank: "Lungs" by Townes Van Zandt. The lyrics are a little cryptic but a quick scan of his Wikipedia page might provide insight into the man's thought process. Anyway no matter, I love this channel.
2769. raider101416: This song is about Death
2770. Jeff Frank: Listen to more Disturbed. Disturbed is normally a heavy metal band. His heavier tunes he sings with several different voice styles
2771. Joshua Warren: Juan Ovalle Watch out, we have a cool kid here
2772. Dominik Wilson: idk if either of you have a kid, but there "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney is a MUST for this channel.
2773. CthulhuKittie: +Wickerrman Prayer is definitely good one!
2774. Eduardo Guridi: Bad wolves - Zombie
2775. kriselda gray: +Gretchen Schulz Riding Zeppelin's coattails? Uh, I don't know what you've been listening to, but Floyd and Zep are quite different.
2776. Yo can I get a BING BONG: Pearl jam black unplugged you will not regret
2777. saiyanprince989: I love this version. To me, it just barely beats out the original. The minimalism in the original is amzing but I feel that it loses quite a bit of impact due to the fast tempo. Slow it down to match this version and it would be amazing.
2778. ec1122: https://youtu.be/FKyKC5UzRzI
2779. Dave Christie: I think you guys are looking at the wrong era for the meaning. Remember, David Draiman did not write these lyrics - Paul Simon did - 55 years ago. The world was very much difference and technology was something completely different than today. I have always taken the "neon gods" to have some relation to how big cities were becoming colder and colder - symbolized by all the gaudy neon signs that were overtaking the landscape of those cities.
2780. Jonathan Rudolph: If you look for more from Disturbed, any song off that album is incredible. Definitely give them another listen, 2018 is the year of second chances!
2781. Anthony Cook: +john doe Wasn't aware of that... thanks for adding to my understanding of history. I always love learning new things.
2782. Amir Javadi: FINALLY! thank you guys
2783. Kiran Buzza: Master of Puppets full album reaction better happen soon guys!😉
2784. Richard Douglas Helms: I pretty sure you guys felt your hair lift and maybe even had goosebumps listening to this song! It's ABSO-ROCKIN-LUTELY AWESOME!
2785. Sean W: Pushit by TOOL is guaranteed playlist
2786. Dave H: Juuuuudiiiiith!
2787. Robyn Johnson: My favorite cover is by Shaman's Harvest Purple Rain
2788. KavaMoto: Do another disturbed video this was way out of their normal.
2789. Charlie hates you: Guns N' Roses - November Rain... Please please please!!!!
2790. irishgrl: Paul Simon himself liked this cover. That’s pretty significant. I think the message is that people have a voice and they aren’t using it, and there is much that people should be vocal about. Remember when the original was written it was the tail end of a major protest movement and perhaps it was a call to keep speaking truth to power...
2791. James Graham: I like your channel, but it's better when you review just songs, and not the videos that come with them. They're two different types of media. Here, you're reacting to a video with a musical background. Which were you reviewing - the music or the video? How did your reaction to the video affect your reaction to the music? And I get that there's room to appreciate both the video and music as a single piece or a whole creative package. I just like it better when you review the music only. Then the imagery of burning instruments wouldn't influence your interpretation of the lyrics, and we wouldn't be thinking about Howie Mandel or the singer's soul patch when we're reacting to the music.
2792. Derek Raynaud: This song is about a lack of communication, anyone who’s like “technology is ruining society that’s what it means” needs to go get a vaccination
2793. Benita Van Vuuren: I live in South Africa and I grew up with this song. It was a worldwide hit, I loved it as a very young child and today at 57 I still love it. Simon and Garfunkel’s version is sooo depleted of anger whilst I find the Disturbed version an angry warning to where we as people are heading. Both versions are differently portrayed but they both hit home. It’s also important to note that this song was written in the sixties and the reference to neon lights where some of the technology of that time and people where already became slaves to tegnology back then. Although today it seems irrelevant with the internet and social media but I think what Paul Simon and David Draiman is warning the people about is not to be slaves to technology. I think the warning is for people to listen and to really talk to each and put people first, before your I-phone and the technology that can so easily devour us.
2794. Joseph Thiery: Need to react to Greatest Hits of Disturbed. Best shit ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66gSvNeqevg
2795. Volaire Larp: You should react to Dog Fashion Disco- War Party or Polkadot Cadaver- Last Call in Jonestown
2796. Morgan Zakhary: Someone get Paul on the phone. He wrote this song when he was 21 years old. I think you got everything right about the meaning of the song. There's a part in the video where you have instruments on one side and song writers on the other. No one can understand each others music because they're both missing vital components. In the end it shows a Noah's ark type thing where the music is United.
2797. RED MOBILE uk: man that is a song that could depress anyone
2798. Collin Beal: This cover makes me wanna vomit, so their reaction was more favorable than I would have liked.
2799. CeeCee Sounds: My dad watches this channel frequently and I LOVE this song I had asked if you guys had ever went through it and he said no. Woke up to a text this morning "Your wish came true". Im so glad you covered this song!
2800. Chris Tackett: stratmatt22 you deserve to be banned!
2801. LeeAnn Pratt: You should listen again without the video. Less distracting then you can focus more on the singer and song than the images shown. Sit back, close your eyes and just ..experience this song.
2802. ddcraun: I've avoided this track for ages, simply because I didn't want to sully the original, which I listen to on an original piece of vinyl from time to time. I gotta give dude credit, he has pipes, and I have always written Disturbd off as a shitty Nu Metal band from the early 90s.....they get a thumbs up for this version.
2803. mintratm: This is awful. If Disturbed had stayed silent from the jump the world would be a little better off.
2804. Disturbed Pyro: Great reaction! As you can tell by my name and pic, Disturbed is my favorite band of all time. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great reactions. I know i said it already but please FLEETWOOD MAC-THE CHAIN!
2805. Sandee Lobash: I love the dichotomy here. This is now!. We are in this together.
2806. MrMetuber1: Think suicide. Visits DARKNESS again. People talking without speaking (dead not able to communicate with the living). Etc, etc, etc.....
2807. Andrew Saylor: Yall need to do more disturbed songs
2808. PhantomRisk: What a good birthday present 😁
2809. Chance Campbell: Definitely check out Distrubed, Down With the Sickness, Stricken, Inside the Fire, etc
2810. Matt G: You should review the version of this song by the band Bobaflex.
2811. Stephen Mason: This comment wins the internet for me today.
2812. J.t. Orem: Tool Vicarious Fellas lyric video!!!!
2813. s g: Nate Fontana please
2814. Marc-Antoine Jean: Douchebag version of a beautiful song😡😡
2815. GlobalistEnemy01: Death- “Keep On Knockin’”. Not the metal band but the protopunk band.
2816. Zebulon Swearingen: me codes Some good points here. Disturbing. Of course, I’m using tech to write this, so did you? YouTube has brought people together — well, it brought their opinions together. YouTube channels are cool. I like it better than TV in some ways. Tech brought the phonograph (vinyl record player) which in turn was the medium used by Simon & Garfunkel. And while we’re at it, did tech make human or did human make tech? What came 1st, the chicken or the egg? Disturbing.
2817. Nathan V: As hip-hop heads, you might like this bit from the lyrics: "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls/ and tenement halls" Tenement halls are kinda like apartment houses for poor people. How are words written on subways and in cheap apartments? Graffiti. The words of the prophets are written in graffiti.
2818. Northeast Outdoors: Bad wolves-Zombie cover of the cranberries
2819. GKeeper316: the best simon and garfunkel cover is actually the bangles version of hazy shade of winter. listen to that sometime.
2820. theCTCamp: There are a lot of songs by Disturbed that would great to see y'all react to. It may be a real surprise coming from this song to rest of Disturbed. David Draiman has an insane voice (as heard in this song especially).
2821. Jeff Creed: Wow, these 2 have no emotions...haha
2822. Jacob Hight: Houes of the rising- sun five finger death punch - one of the best covers ive ever heard
2823. Leonard Huber: I believe the reason so many people love this cover us because it's the first time they've ever heard him actually sing
2824. Vatsal Agarwal: This song always gives me goosebumps
2825. Ultimate Warrior: god this cover is SO TRASH HAHA absolutely terrible. i cant listen to this song start to finish its impossible. god jesus lord help me this song is torture
2826. DES S: Ryan, George great reaction! Sometimes a band gets slighted because they do a ballad, but I think Disturbed did this song justice. Yeah David Draiman is a powerhouse vocalist and the band does something that's hard to achieve, they made the song theirs. As far as I know the meaning of the song is about Paul Simon's writing adventures, starting with him in a dark bathroom and the sink dripping causing a comfortable writing space for him. Even though a lot of people think it's about JFK'S assignation, it was released slightly after that happened, but Paul Simon wrote it way beforehand. And cool thing is both songs resonate with people. So with that being said I would like to put in my request for a reaction to Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix Ultraphonix a collaboration of George Lynch guitar (Dokken) Corey Glover vocal (Living Colour), the songs "Crawl Walk Run" or "Counture Culture" featuring Dug Pinnick from Kings X. Or Corey Glover's solo release Hymns the songs "April Rain" or "One", Living Colour's "Open Letter to a Landlord" or maybe Kings X "Over My Head". And on the country side Dwight Yoakam's "Thousand miles from nowhere", "Guitars and Cadillacs' or "Fast as You" would be cool as hell. Another artist you guys should check out Ian Moore especially the song "Satisfied" off his self titled album, by the way I this whole album is pretty cool. Keep on rockin' peace ☮️ ✌️!!
2827. Eric Reynolds: Take into consideration that this song was wrote in like the sixties.
2828. MrFitz4012: Soul patch !?!? I guess if one w As make of metal spikes !!
2829. breadfruittree: What kind of musician has barely heard this song. You sirs, can not be musicians.
2830. August Düver: My dood Soothsayer is the shit. I would love it if they reacted to it. Buuut the entite video would be George going "man, I wish I could play guitar😂"
2831. krulldunk: Slipknot - Spit it out! Their first alubm is a masterpiece my friends!
2832. Kitra Terrell: I never get tired of this version. The power in it is amazing and yes, one of the best covers ever.
2833. Daniel Perugini: One of the worst covers Ive ever heard in my life.
2834. Glenn 9K: In Flames - Come clarity
2835. The Warrior: Good job fellas. Remember, Simon & Garfunkel released this song in 1966. Look at what was going on in the country at that time. Our citizens were going through all kinds of higher level stuff. Great tune and great cover.
2836. The Mom: This version is just awful compared to the live version. It's just all wrong. His voice is too processed sounding. His voice in the live version is so pure and intense.
2837. cigarley: Really wish you had listened to the original Simon and Garfunkel version, this is just a bad band making a sappy cover of a good song.
2838. Timothy Stoneberger: Do Far behind by candlebox one of the best songs ever
2839. HankHardcore: Had no idea that a lot of people think this is the best cover of all time. I always thought (and still think) it's a pretty bad cover, but hey, to each their own.
2840. James Taylor: It means music today sucks there’s no true meaning and there’s no instruments anymore along with what Denny sensation said
2841. kirk morton: Lol! I agree with u completely that David Draiman looks like Howie Mandel, always thought I was the only one
2842. Bernard H: he sounds like the guy from silence of the lambs....PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET...can,t listen further....well I put a comma instead of the flying comma....ok I will listen.
2843. Dennis webb: and to your point the song meant something different to Art than Simon "Art Garfunkle in an interview clearly stated it was about the inability of people to communicate, not in terms of plain language, or international issues, but rather spiritually and emotionally. The result being, an inability to love one another. Paul Simon on the other hand literally said, I don't actually know. I wrote my parts on several occasions, while sitting in the dark, in the bathroom of my parents house, while playing my guitar."
2844. Mike Meagher: Most people may not know this Paul Simon wrote this song when he was 21 and did it in his apartment bathroom with the lights off to better concentrate. He said the tiles in the bathroom echoed the sound. When asked what the songs meaning he said: "I have no idea". Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other. Also when this song made its debut in September of 1965, it bombed. The two broke up the band. In 1966 the sound was remixed with full instruments and when released it rocketed to #1 and Simon and Art got the band back together. So this song was written without any real meaning and left for anyone and everyone to interpret.
2845. Mika Vanonen: The "neon god" is obviously the sign pictured earlier in the song. But why is it a god? The sign is a god because people made it a god ("the neon god they made"). In praying and bowing to the sign, they made it into a god. What the sign represents, though, is harder to answer. Many interpretations I've found have said it represented advertising and TV. Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."
2846. Kallen Lacy: I’m amazed you guys were able to pause it at any point! Wow so powerful!
2847. Thane Griggs: Hey guys I was wondering if you can react or review a few of my favorite songs from variety of artist Last in line by dio Losing my insanity by dio Paradise by the dashboard light by meatloaf In the land of the pigs the butcher is king by meatloaf Monster is loose by meatloaf Bullets in the gun by toby keith I will never smoke weed.with willie again by toby Keith Come to my heaven by cryoshell
2848. JessieMcD: This song was from the early 60's - lyrics just as relevant today.
2849. MrBearsox02: Sure wish the hosts would have used a bit more silence while song was playing !
2850. S Toy: I would say that the original (which, BTW, was all acoustic, not the pop-ish version that everyone's heard on the radio) is sort of pointing out that people are essentially disconnected from each other in a subtle way, like going "Hey, things are kind of fucked up right now, maybe we should do something before it all goes to hell..." This version is basically saying "EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP, STOP NOW BEFORE IT GOES TO HELL IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES!!!" i feels like it's about degrees, really.
2851. Guns, Dip & Life: Yes he does!!!
2852. jaystonepk: I’ve always likened the neon god to over consumption and consumerism. People bowing and praying that if they buy the latest and greatest things at the store fronts with neon signs saying “Open for business” that they will be happy with their lives.
2853. Larson: Hey guys, could you react to My Chemical Romance - Mama please? I would love that
2854. daredevilnb: You guys already heard the greatest cover of all time = With a little help from my friends by Joe Cocker.
2855. Valandar2: The lyrics are very powerful SPECIFICALLY because they can be interpreted as anti- almost anything - anti technology, anti-fascism, anti-whatever. You read into it what flaws you might have that prevents you from reaching out to other people, or perhaps the flaws you see in others (though that is a dangerous path). In the end, it doesn't matter what it is against - what matters is what it is for. The only thing that can truly be said is that it's in favor of humanity listening to one another and understanding where we all come from, and getting rid of the ignorance that builds up walls between us.
2856. Matthew Burridge: Believe it or not the live version is better.
2857. Charlie Vincent: Taproot-Art or anything by Taproot!
2858. Tatakai no Kami: This song teases a crescendo that never happens. For that reason I don't find it as good as many others do. It needs to break into metal in the second half.
2859. JMG Darkest: +burntheashesband yeah they haven't checked out avenged sevenfold's classics. They are hearing the ok songs like Nightmare and afterlife
2860. John H: Dudes, do a song by Nightwish! And check out the song The Mercy Seat by Johnny Cash.
2861. Gregg Hess: +Domanic S People also do not realize that the lead singer of the Cranberries was supposed to record a part on that song, but unfortuntely died that same day. :(
2862. MrDisturbed33: David Draiman is an amazing singer. Very talented on a whole different level.
2863. Josiah Stewart: Nothing more- this is the time
2864. tzDub92: you guys should have done the live version on Conan's channel
2865. Matt Allen: Portishead-Glory Box if you want a different sound thats equally awesome
2866. Nicholas Watson: David is more masculine than Howie Mandel will ever be first of all and that's not a soul patch that's massive piercings on his lower lip or maybe they're not that massive maybe there's a staff out there that's way more I'm not that experienced with that
2867. Liquidation King LA: I just listen to this about 8 times.... I think the song is done from the point of view of the Angel of Death as the Singer.... Wow!
2868. Hank Moody: I know this cover gets a lot of praise, but i personally think the original is a million times better
2869. Oliver Jones: Love that you are discovering one of the great songwriters of a generation, Paul Simon. And this version by Disturbed is truly intense and powerful in a way that the original wasn’t. Lyrics definitely stand the test of time. Also, Stevie Ray Vaughan, because I will keep posting to encourage you to give a listen to this great blues guitar dude. Peace and blessings.
2870. mike s: Here! here! one of my favorite bands , Closure is probably the best song to listen to for a 1st Chevelle song tho , but clincher and the red are also favs of mine.
2871. MsPinkwolf: 'people are hearing without listening'....never a truer word said.
2872. Jeffrey Reid Pittman: Bobby Bare - "THE WINNER"......I hears you guys say to challenge you to step outside your comfort zone. Ok. I think I will. Now, will you? You gentlemen, have been challenged to do just that. Enjoy. -Truth
2873. Tartuffe the Spry Wonder Dog: Primus-John the Fisherman, Tommy the Cat, My Name is Mud Metallica-The Four Horsemen
2874. Nita B: You need to listen to Paul Simon's work. He's brilliant.
2875. Kevin Kiker: and they are incorrect Battlestar Galactica cover of all along the watch tower is the best cover.
2876. Mitch D: Simon wrote "The Sounds of Silence" the year before while living with his parents. “The main thing about playing the guitar was that I was able to sit by myself and play and dream,” Simon later told Playboy. “And I was always happy doing that. I used to go off in the bathroom, because the bathroom had tiles, so it was a slight echo chamber. I’d turn on the faucet so that water would run – I like that sound, it's very soothing to me – and I’d play. In the dark. ‘Hello darkness, my old friend / I’ve come to talk with you again.’” In an interview with NPR, Simon explained the appeal of the song, which was retitled "The Sound of Silence" on later compilations. “The key to ‘The Sound of Silence’ is the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are youthful alienation," he explained. "It’s a young lyric, but not bad for a 21-year-old. It’s not a sophisticated thought, but a thought that I gathered from some college reading material or something. It wasn't something that I was experiencing at some deep, profound level – nobody’s listening to me, nobody’s listening to anyone – it was a post-adolescent angst, but it had some level of truth to it and it resonated with millions of people. Largely because it had a simple and singable melody.” Source: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/simon-garfunkel-sounds-of-silence/
2877. Brian Coghill: The song as described by Simon & Garfunkel is about censorship. The “Neon God” they made is media/TV. Not my words, from the writers in an interview. Google It.
2878. nick adams: React to the video of Slipknot- spit it out (live at download 2009)
2879. Carsten: "NeonGod they made " Is the City´s people made. And this means always trouble !!! What a great song and theme !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2880. Boyd Peterson: You guys are the fuckin best! Doesn't he look like Howie Mandel?! Ha!
2881. Jonathan Bouthillette: Eminem - Venom
2882. dethtrk Jones: Love this song but how about some true disturbed. I recommend down with the sickness
2883. Peggy Penguin: +J L A sign of a good musician/band is that they are able to cross all genres of music and Disturbed can (and do) do this. Have you checked out their cover of "Shout" by Depeche Mode and "Land of Confusion" by Genesis/Phil Collins. They are awesome too. I don't know if you listen to Queen but the can't be categorize them cuz they do everything and everything. 🐧🐧
2884. Thomas Cahill: It’s funny, when you were discussing the lyrics, people hearing without listening, all I can think is when you go out in public now everyone has their cell phones on and no interaction with the world or people around them. This song resonates across time and people’s race and religion.
2885. David Barri: Greatest cover of all time my ass. It's not even the greatest cover of this song; Nevermore did an phenomenal cover of this.
2886. DR0CK69: Guys, do yourself a HUGE favor and watch the live duet with Myles Kennedy of this tune, 100 time even more powerful... please.
2887. Christopher Vilches: https://youtu.be/Bk7RVw3I8eg thats Disterbed saw them on the first headline tour amazing!
2888. Ryan McKnight: BOOOOOOOO! WTF! This is the only song from Disturbed that you are going to listen to and analyze? This band rocks and has a major rocking sound. This song is a decent cover but does not define the band at all. What's next? Cat fucking Stevens?
2889. Justin Tumeinski: The Howie Mandel thing killed me. Tool - 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie Part 2). Legit, the only song (so far) that brings tears to my eyes. I am all in your reaction to that one. Love your videos. Keep it up.
2890. MooreCEJr: Spot on...not engaging, not communicating.
2891. Wolves Den Gaming: you should watch disturbed the vengeful one for its story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nW-IPrzM1g
2892. Indeimaus: some old school disturbed like stricken would be a good!
2893. Charles Harrison: Great REACTION to this version of the song. Very haunting. Please critique Judas Priest's Beyond the Realms of Death, Porno for Pyros, Pixies...
2894. Adam Priestley: Really love the disturbed! Great cover! For another cover it would be cool to hear you cover Bad Wolves- zombie. Based on the cranberries song
2895. Tom Dundon: 2:14 mother fuc*er take your hand of that god damn mouse
2896. John Livingston: I think it is the divide between the left and the right of today no one listening to each other no one talking and the world just getting more and more divided by the stupidity of all the garbage we have created in the world and that's why it's touching to you and having a feeling cuz you're seeing it cuz you're living it
2897. Shadrack Raymond: Best cover ever is Shinedown: Simple Man
2898. theicedevil: I totally agree with them, the original is better. The Disturbed version is very good modern take of the song, but I love the haunting mood of the original Simon and Garfunkel version.
2899. Joseph Miller: Boy this song is so relevant for today’s political climate.
2900. moffe2k: This song is magnificent! Another magnificent song is Machine Head - Darkness Within!
2901. Ember Catcher: Chevelle - "The Clincher"
2902. jandvadams: Fellas. Trying to help you with the explanation of the lyrics. This song was actually written around '63 or'64. It was about the Civil Rights Movement. It is a beautiful song that is written in contrast.
2903. Wicked Acid: БълхатаНаКотката НаНикиБанков or sweet nurse or idle blood
2904. Pat Schottenheimer: Anyone that thinks this is the best cover off all time is out of their entire mind. This is trash. The original is fantastic. His voice is annoying...
2905. kim white: Loving you in Alabama, this version is great
2906. David W: Assessment was good. Song warning against apathy.
2907. SickBabySeals: Halloween - Victim of Fate
2908. KPhoenix: Disturbed - Land of Confusion by Phil Collins and Disturbed - Midlife Crisis by Faith No More to me are better in style of bringing a new light yet still keeping true to the original, I PERSONALLY feel this song is overrated but it's still decent.
2909. Ryan McAllister: If only - sadly metalcore doesn't get much love from these guys as the bigger band requests seem to drown these bands out.
2910. Arizona Border Recon: Check out Seminole wind by John Anderson. A great song with a powerful message.
2911. Kory Linn: EastNewYorkStyle Records OH GOD YES!!!! I want to see the lyrical analysis 😂
2912. Kartik Mittal: Do Muse: Supermassive black holes
2913. Scott Hughes: As a card-carrying metalhead, total respect to Simon and Garfunkel. This, unfortunately, sounds like terrible, overwrought high school poetry.
2914. Sean Addis: Found this version of a classic song to be totally dull and dreary- it definitely wasn’t powerful!
2915. Drake Parker: Hahaha I've been saying it ever since forever that Howie Mandel and David Draiman resemble a lot! :D I like this cover over the original one 100x more, but that's just me. Could you please do Asylum as your next Disturbed song?
2916. PIET POMPIES: Devin Townsend. Deep Peace.
2917. Robin Web: Is the boat at the end supposed to represent Noah's ark?
2918. sandeep hyd: George you are a genius man !!
2919. M W: Bad wolves-zombie is a awesome cover
2920. David Bustamante Ventura: Finally! I've been waiting for this a long time ago!
2921. Gnosticman00: Wondering when you'd get around to this. Lol
2922. 2edgy 5me: I would love for you guys to listen to any of the songs from Mike Shinodas album Post Traumatic
2923. Dave J: Dont talk through the video, talk after
2924. Nobdy Doh: The original is just one of those songs everyone has heard.
2925. Daniel Fernandez: you guys have to do some of disturbed's old stuff, some of the best rock songs out there
2926. The Dream Catcher: Ik ive been commenting this on all the reaction channels for a straight year
2927. Roman Alexander: Should've watched the Conan live performance
2928. Warren Kennedy: To understand why this is such an amazing cover, you need to listen any other song by them. Not as a review, just to see their background.
2929. Robert Hejduk: I hear the original version and all I see is the 2 young girls from the Shining Movie singing. Freaky Like the disturbed version better
2930. amadeus: Hmmmph,...…..Orestes or 3 Libras
2931. fuck you: You're right man. Only people that eat this shit up are radio rockers. The people who eat up anything disturbed, 5fdp, or avenged sevenfold does. This cover is bad. And the covered 5fdp did are bad.
2932. Kaylene Smith: it was at that moment he knew he fucked up,pls do not pause
2933. Jahoragin94: You guys should definitely check out an original from Disturbed. I'd recommend Stricken, a real headbanger which is a huge contrast to this.
2934. Robin: React to Pantera - Cemetery Gates
2935. Pattrick Kipp: I believe the neon god they made refers to the bomb itself.
2936. Kevin in the back: Hey fellers. This band is AMAZING live. I recommend watching some videos of their live performances.
2937. sherrijean03: Y’all should do more “Disturbed”, go with “Down with the Sickness “ or “Stupify”
2938. White Wolf: Yeah total tools
2939. wagstaff613: This guy can sing... and this is very good... but to me the attempts to make this one "heavy" make it LESS powerful; part of what makes the original so amazing is the vocal harmony, which is absent here. And the slight variants of the melody here, why perhaps important for a cover to put his own stamp on this, are just inferior to the original melody.
2940. Scot A. Griffin: And I like a lot of Disturbed’s stuff!
2941. Sherry Lockwood: Who would give this a thumbs down???
2942. Anha26: Maybe you should hear down with the sickness for comparison :)
2943. proelf100: It was originally a protest song. the "silence" was the loss of meaning in communication. Basically, everyone is talking but not saying anything real especially the media. The "neon gods" was television, telling everyone who is/ what is bad which, and the famous people (stars) are given a voice, whether or not they had anything real/ important to say. Leaving wisdom behind for the sake of entertainment. "the words of the profits are written on the subway walls, etc" we as a society began to ignore wisdom and knowledge for what was fun and popular. The "Cancer" was this growing meaningless noise from the TV, radio, and the news that spread into conversions, beliefs and even changed how people thought and acted.
2944. blackcountryme: It sounds like if we don't talk, if we dont get along we're doomed...
2945. Tex FX4: Great cover!👍🏻
2946. Jayson Manning: Listen to wishing wells parkway drive
2947. Paul Martinez: They have to do down with the sickness...THE FULL VERSION!!!
2948. kawikaphotography: Analyzing the lyrics for this performance is kind of useless. Both are great but they didn't write the lyrics. Maybe focus more on the performance aspect in future covers. Great channel
2949. moska21: please react to johnny cash a boy named sue
2950. Llew Silver: Always love hearing your reactions! Great work thanks fellas !
2951. Dwayne White: Very astute analysis. Paul Simon himself said that the song was about how people don’t actually communicate anymore.
2952. Shmick !: It’s a decent cover, but it’s far from the best cover song of all time. Not even close to the likes of Hendrix (All Along the Watchtower) and Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah) among many others.
2953. Saint JP: I love how you break down the songs but with this, you have to remember it's a cover. They didn't write it. If you want to dive into the lyrics, that's for the original and the writers of the song. This performance should solely be on the performance and the delivery, not if you understand it or it has meaning. Covers are about the delivery and how it's represented based on the original. Any underlying meaning should be taken up with the original writer/performer. Nonetheless, good review, just take that into account.
2954. MR. SALVATORE J PLUCHINO: WTF BRO WHY DO YOU KEEP ON INTERRUPTING HOLY CRAP 💩SMH 🤦‍♂️
2955. Casey Fraysier: 4th of July
2956. vedomedo: I mean.. it doesnt make as big an impact if you have no reference to Disturbed's original work. That's a big part as to why this cover is dope.
2957. Raoul Duke: The Doors deserve a second chance!! Peace Frog or LA Woman... or The Soft Parade
2958. 9eCn3: Amorphis - Sampo!
2959. mindlitter2: The live version with Myles Kennedy is awesome. I saw them at Pain in the grass in Washington 2016.
2960. sanityisrelative: I used to loath this version. I blame you guys, and one other channel, for opening my mind more to this cover. I still don't love it, and I'll always prefer the original, but I can now appreciate that this version isn't complete trash. So thanks, I guess, for keeping me open minded against my will. 😊
2961. SyZyGy7: Dude lmao 😂 he does look like Howie
2962. ayylmao69: Please review lil dicky’s “how can you sleep” it’s so hard
2963. Natesh Mayuranathan: Nevermore did the definitive cover of this. Disturbed played it pretty safe.
2964. Josh Alexander: You guys need to do 1 on Bo Steele look him up on YouTube
2965. Havel the Rock: People be trippin' in your comment section. This cover is powerful and great. Not gonna lie, as a man, I fangirled when I saw this video in my notifications. I'm glad you guys liked it. Another really good couple of songs by Disturbed would be Innocence and Facade. If you guys want a longer song Clandestinity Now by Solution .45 is a great choice. It feels like 3 songs in one. Dare I call it a masterpiece. P.S. Glad I found this channel because Ne Obliviscaris is in my life now.
2966. transmit13: I'm no expert on shitty music, but something tells me that Nickelback and Disturbed probably share the same fan base.
2967. Elidor Madar - Music Producer: Katatonia - Hypnone. Not sure if this is gonna get a ton of likes, but hell I'll try :)
2968. Wendy Stewart: Listen don't talk
2969. Preston Sligar: If you wanna check out another good cover check out Bad Wolves Zombie
2970. Kristofer Mincey: Listen to heaven nor hell by volbeat
2971. Joe Dawood: Bad wolves zombie
2972. sean hurley: The best cover of all time in my opinion is either Simple Man by Shinedown or Hurt by Johnny Cash
2973. Scoss Tard: I've personally never understood the success of Disturbed. They are just a basic Nu Metal band that arrived years later after other bands (Korn, Deftones, ...) paved the way. Their biggest hit "Down with the sickness" is a gimmick of Korn's early albums...5 years later. Regarding this particular song it is beautifully composed and that's it. For the rest it is extremly cheesy and exagerated. When I listen to it, I have the impression they thought : "Yeah let's make a song just to make people cry!". The beauty of the original song was due to the combination of SImon and Garfunkel voices and also due to the minimalism of the song since it is almost sung a capella. I just don't feel that Disturbed intent to make it sound "epic" fits the song very well and one more time I really don't see what the fuzz is all about with this cover. Please react to Hacride - Overcome Or some Igorrr Or anything by Leprous
2974. L Chiong: Paul Simon wrote that song when he was 21 years old, according to Wikipedia. And I still think he and Art Garfunkel sing it best. I also think Dolly Parton sings "I Will Always Love You" better than Whitney.
2975. eddievangraham: My interpretation for this version- social media has made us antisocial
2976. OmgItsZakkE: Disturbed is the best cover band of all time.
2977. Nuggets, Boi: @Kryptonite, agreed, their cover of Land of Confusion is terrific.
2978. BuckeyeTilIDie: The neon god they made i believe is referring to the television and/or technology
2979. Marshie420: hey, you should react to the experimental rap group death grips, the fever, on gp, and i've seen footage are great songs to listen to
2980. DragonsKindler: there are a few covers. I think Disturbed has put a cover in every album. The first being 'Shout 2000' cover of 'Shout' by Tears For Fears
2981. Thomas Moore: U know fuk ol
2982. Mark McConnell: i love this version, but i hate the 'best cover of all-time' thing that goes along with it. Sound of Silence, both versions, are representative of their eras. The original, i feel, is about the loss of innocence in America that stemmed from the loss of John Kennedy, the loss of Camelot, the loss of Martin Luther King, the loss of Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, the Vietnam War. It was about the cultural divide that saw older more traditional America literally at war with younger America. The song was a longing for an era in which we still listened to one another, and how not listening to one another was inherently dangerous in a democracy. Sound familiar? This version is also representative of our era. The one thing that bothers me is how his anger in the song has been co-opted by both sides without each side really listening to the words that are being sung. I think it's a great cover but i have a feeling the cover won't age as well as the original did.
2983. Kevin Plummer: Please check out Metallica performing with the S&M orchestra, it’s somewhat old but I think you both would appreciate the blend of thrash metal and orchestra together, it’s very beautiful.
2984. Aaron Carson: After the burial - Pennyweight, you guys will love that groove
2985. kevin hurt hurt: This song was written over a huge Imoral injustice by a government on its people if you don't get it I'm saddened. It's in the lyrics geeze folks do your home work I'm old I saw this injustice use your phone to learn some histroy.
2986. bitecha bitechabitecha: Best remake ever!! Didn't know that dude would sing instead of just screaming
2987. Ernie McGowin: Not sure what I can say about this version. It’s just disturbing to me. I didn’t like the original and surly not this one. Who wants to be screamed at.
2988. The Apartment Woodturner: Yes this is a good cover but definitely not the best cover of all time. A couple of my favorite covers are... Last Kiss- Pearl Jam (J. Frank Wilson) N.I.B.- Primus (Black Sabbath) Surfin' U.S.A.- Blind Gardian (Beach Boys Hurt- Johnny Cash (Nine Inch Nails)
2989. Francisco Lozano: Stricken please By Disturbed.
2990. Leempo: Oh this is gonna get a lot of views
2991. wormspeaker: David Draiman doesn't have the vocal chops for this cover.
2992. Joe Glauner: The og song was a hippy song. It talked about the war back then. But lots of the song holds true to day. Makes ya think.
2993. Salvador Delgado: 👍🏽 great song!
2994. Evernessa Nevermore: Evans Blue - Who we are
2995. The Metal Pig: Geez this song is ass! Will never understand why ppl like this, just Disturbed attempting to stay relevant by doing a cover rather than write something of any quality for close to a decade. They have nothing worth listening too beyond their 3rd album.
2996. Shawn E. Crapo: Talking without speaking/hearing without listening==social media. Propethic lyrics from 1964.
2997. MajorOcelot: 12 Stones - Kiss From a Rose cover is a good one.
2998. Conner Gegare: Tints - Anderson paak & Kendrick lamar
2999. Manoj Kumar Baruah: React disturbed - the night.... Greatest guitar solo ever
3000. Molly McCleerey: Learn your music history
3001. Scott Thomas: You guys have been on a pretty good roll with song choices here over the last couple weeks...keep it up
3002. Phillip Rhodes: You guys gotta do some Savatage! Start with "Gutter Ballet"... trust me, you won't be disappointed.
3003. jonnygoat15: Love it! Unbiased and real!
3004. Ethan Topper: Highly recommend if I get high by nothing but thieves
3005. Deathrider: You guys nailed the meaning pretty well, at least from what I understand of the song. Good reaction video. Just kind of stumbled on it, so I'll have to check out more of your stuff.
3006. Richard Pellerito Jr: to me i interpret this song as technology is supposed to be a means for us to communicate, and learn to understand each other, but it seems that somehow it has helped drive a wedge between people, with race, politics, religious differences. And to me, i think hes saying we need to learn to communicate with one another, instead of automatically judging each other from what we may hear of them, or is being said about them. I dont know, thats what i took from this song...............incredibly powerful, and a great cover, the power in his voice is unbelievable.
3007. Aaron Silver: Evanescence - Going Under
3008. Phillip_ino: If you like a good cover, give Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley and Simple Man by Shinedown a listen.
3009. Natalia: If you want something unique and , at the same time incredibly sad, I would love a reaction to "Mother Love" by Queen. "Mother Love" is especially powerful because of the fact that Freddy Mercury died before the song was finished and Queen guitarist Brian May had to finish the last verse. The song ends with a montage of every song that Freddy ever sang. Very powerful and beautiful song.
3010. Jason Taylor: Nevermore did it better! RIP Warrel Dane! 🤘🤘
3011. DeanKnight333: TooL- The Grudge
3012. Audra Rowdygirl: This is one of my favorites to sing! Thanks for this!
3013. Reuben L sailo: Bro all the way from India I like you guys alot I even shared to my friends about your reactions I want to request if you can do a reaction on November rain from guns and roses will be very happy from here all the way from India
3014. Harley Algarve: Really? This song is about depression, where the person is consumed by the darkest feeling there is.
3015. Sandy Hicks: It was a war protest song
3016. loaditz: The Misfits (when Danzig was singer) please
3017. cory hawks: I think those are piercings not a soul patch lol.
3018. Jacob Brown: Man this music video is ABSOLUTE TRASH. such a good song
3019. laapache1: changing the music to sound
3020. murfienhawaii: Bad Wolves - Zombie another great cover that This song reminds me of.
3021. nsampone3: If you haven't reacted to disturbed, this isnt a very good representation. It's not their normal sound
3022. Vince Abella: BELIEF BY NEUROSIS
3023. Zamppa86: I would really, really like to see and hear your reaction to ZZ Top's Legs and/or Whitesnake's Fool For Your Loving(the 1989 version).
3024. Les Lawrence: When you’re not touched in the first minute, it is not your style of music, lyrics. Or your soul and your mind is empty.
3025. itsmezed: One of the greatest covers, without a doubt. Paul Simon himself endorsed the performance. Now if only I could convince y'all to give a Halestorm song a listen -- Black Vultures or Takes My Life, maybe?
3026. greg Alexander: this isn't even close to the best song from this band......... they have 5 albums of better shit than this.
3027. Abbie VanDenBerg: As the writer Paul Simon said in the time of writing the song, it was about how nihilistic society became in the late 60's and early 70's. That's not to say that Disturbed's version couldn't be referencing the internet and all the distractions of modern society, not at all. I think this is simply a song about not stepping up and also about being dominated by the powers that be.
3028. Yahya Al Hajj: Uprising - Sabaton Armata Strigoi - Powerwolf
3029. Epicus Doomicus: Way better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMPqeoXc0FU
3030. Banderascubsfan: I rarely"like" videos but I had to hot like when he said that "it wasn't necessary better, but it was more powerful" I completely agree. You guys earned a new subscriber
3031. NjIceTea: Nevermore covers this same song if you want to listen to that version as well just for fun. Its like a metal cover while this is more of a direct cover of it, except for the end.
3032. Forrest Commander: Just a pop culture junkie with a passion for music’s guess.
3033. Kendra Corsi: It IS the best cover of all time! I never get tired of this song. EVER.
3034. dirtygore: Justin Barabas no they don’t.
3035. dagluke: Lmfao
3036. Morgan: Dissection - The Somberlain
3037. str8tfashion: You mentioned you were looking at reacting to some Symphonic metal my request for that is Wishmaster by Nightwish
3038. Kevin Curley: This song is tryhard nonsense. A band that used to sing about killing their mothers (literally. Check out the song “Down with the sickness”) now trying to appeal to moms far and wide. Band has always been and always will be a complete and utter joke. Juvenile Dingaling rock for braindead meat men
3039. AlintheaYoh: Protest the Hero - Mist OR Animal Bones - I think you'll really enjoy the drums & guitar so much. Be interesting to see what you think of the lead singer!
3040. briantelik12: Disturbed's live version is better that the studio.
3041. Ellie Specht: Yall gotta do turnpike troubadours gin,smoke,lies.
3042. Jimmie Hicks: It's a masterpiece that pays homage to the original. Your simplistic and childish analysis truly shows how closed minded you are.
3043. Gerardo Gallardo: The flavor saver lol
3044. Shawn Walldren: Still hoping you guys check out Avatar - "Bloody Angel"
3045. WizardPandora: Those are piercings not a soul patch
3046. Thrator: More disturbed please <3
3047. Corrie Nye: If you've heard "down with the sickness" then you've heard disturbed, this isnt really what they sing like anywhere close to what they normally sing but definitely the best cover to exist
3048. John D Gowrie: Maybe you should Listen to the song in full before you interrupted the song !
3049. Sam: Most people (including Garfunkel) tend to interpret the song about the disconnect of communication between people, especially emotional communication. Paul Simon (who wrote the song at 21) has refuted this, saying that the song was primarily born out of angst he was feeling at the time for nobody listening to his ideas. The first line, "Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" was written because he wrote the song in his bathroom with the lights out for an atmospheric and echo chamber like space. He has also stated that though he personally wrote it from that place, the lyrics themselves clearly resonated with people on a much deeper level, the level that I first mentioned. This song was picked up by the counter-culture phenomenon that was going on in the 1960s and with the incredibly catchy hook and beautifully stark vocals, it's no surprise it caught on and became one of the duos most famous songs. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Some people associate it with John F. Kennedy's assassination because it was released just a few months after that. Others think of war, depression, abuse, bystanders... The list goes on and on. However, you interpret it, I think we can all agree it's an engaging and interesting song! Thanks as usual for the thoughtful reaction. I really like the Disturbed version though I personally prefer the original. I love that Disturbed introduced a new audience to an extremely important folk duo from the many decades ago. That kind of thing rarely happens and I'd like to see more musical education through badass covers like this one.
3050. Terry G: Good lord...magic...love life...get busy living or get busy dieing....embrace life its here for now....
3051. B B: Should have done the live version.
3052. Dennis Cooke: +sacredomens I think my daughter sang that at a competition a few years ago.
3053. Omkar Bharambe: Better late than never. Atlast you guys react to this cover by disturbed. and btw......you guys heard the original song in memes probably..'hello darkness my old friend'
3054. Patrick Whitney: Devin Townsend - Deadhead ( live at the royal albert hall )
3055. Frank Marinucci: Wrathchild America - Draintime
3056. Rob Oliver: Hate this song and I cant stand what this band became. This coulda been Gojira ANYTHING or Breaking Benjamin or even old Disturbed.
3057. hihijedi2: Disturbed- Land of Confusion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
3058. Matt Jordan: The "neon god" is TV, cell phone...technology. That's my interpretation.
3059. LDon13: Great review. His voice is incredible and glad you got a touch of Disturbed.
3060. Alex LePeter: This is nowhere near Hurt as the best cover of all time
3061. Trenton Turner: I love disturbed yall shuld react to there song "down with the sickness" it's a look into there main music base love yalls reactions keep up the good work
3062. 1bls: I think you guys got it, exactly. Your take on the song and lyrics are dead on.
3063. Terron Hefley: Wow you guys finally wandered into My Domain! The song is a masterpiece about life after the Kennedy assassination. Horrible cover tho. Just makes me want to listen to the original. Disturbed is amazing. But to really understand them you need to listen to "Down with the sickness".
3064. Evets Zerimar: Almost disliked y’all for the stops, ugh But I forgive ya Bc of this song
3065. Laurette LaLiberte: That's not a soul patch, it's a double labret piercing.. lol
3066. Francisco Bello: "Neon" God doesn't necessarily mean technology, but anything brash, flashy, eye catching or vapid. Neon isn't cutting edge tech, it's cheap street level advertising.
3067. Honest Rios: pocket full of stones- ugk
3068. seen123: kitty5964 The original is honest, this cover feels contrived, without any empathy or vulnerability. It’s expressively flat, no complexity. It’s like comparing a Hostess Twinkie to a fresh croissant in a French bakery, sure the Twinkie is good, but...
3069. Parashoot: So many good songs from Disturbed, but I personally love Pain Redefined. Great riff and deep lyrics that you guys might enjoy.
3070. Alpha1Charlie: Cat Momma; Written in 64 released in 65. Sorry Edit* Added name
3071. RishedeDOTcom: Todd Hoffman do it better https://youtu.be/X_7zghWA6QY
3072. Rob Erickson: Should have reacted to their live version on Conan. It's better than the recorded version.
3073. Jackie Binns: He must of scared the hell out of you lol !!!
3074. Jeremiah C: Wow amazing how awful that was. Very poor cover, completely disconnected from the lyrics and meaning of the song. Looks like he's singing in the mirror trying to hard. Wish they would have done the original.
3075. Freak Azoid: He looks EXACTLY like Howie, without the gloves. If this version doesn't grab your throat and choke you up at least once then you have no soul.
3076. Kelly Reynolds: Dudes, that is David Draiman and Disturbed...that's all that needs to be said. Sad you guys don't know who they are. The neon gods?? Really? You DON'T know??? Check your friggin' cell phone....that's the neon god......get a clue guys...Deadman has complete and total control of his voice. Some day go see Disturbed in concert. This particular song is even better live. Not to mention every song they play....but, thanks for your view point. I enjoyed it, and it makes me open my ears so I actually hear and not just listen...
3077. Jaalenn DeMarkello: Guys, I just found your channel, and I'm intrigued. My suggestion for you is to Google a synopsis of the song, because you may be able to find that deeper explanation you're looking for.
3078. rsrain14: Avenged Sevenfold-Save Me
3079. ugh no: It's a great improvement that you include the video of the song you're listening too. And btw I love how glasses-guy always pays attention to the lyrics. Of course always apprieciate the smiley guy's contagious laughs and yells 'it's fire!'' i guess this wasn't that much :D :D
3080. Jesper nielsen: Volbeat - Malene i hofteholdere
3081. Zach Clark: I havent heard the Wacken recording, but that's one of my favorites from them.
3082. Joe Beese: Dave is one of the most underrated vocalist of all time across any genre.
3083. Terry Cairl: Texas Hippie Coalition - Pissed Off and Mad About It
3084. Shelly Rae: Seriously, you couldn't listen for more than a few seconds without interrupting with lame comments? Thumbs down.
3085. KatieRose: Disturbed - Stupify!!!
3086. Mathew Cameron: Big fan of you guys and what you do, I can't say the same for the song. Simon and Garfunkel are beautiful musicians and definitely something to treasure in American music history. The sound of silence is so iconic and timeless that it continues to inspire people in a way, I love Simon and Garfunkel through and through. Disturbed not so much. That band falls into a pool of bands that I call "Tweaker music". There's so many ex junkies that listen to this band and breaking Benjamin....even Nirvana. Bands that display non stop suffering throughout their careers and profit off people's troubles. When I hear S&G sing it I get a sense of inner and outer exploration that collide somewhere in the "noise" of everyday life. Disturbed sounds like a person shooting up again and blaming the world for it. Sorry, but self pity should never be popularized.
3087. Daniel Tann: im kind of surprised that these guys havent done some five finger death punch
3088. MonkeeBoi1960: Keep in perspective that this was written in **1964** - a time of great upheaval in American culture and the cusp of many social movements that would build throughout the remainder of the decade. In many ways, it is very sad that this song is now even more an appropriate commentary on our society than it was then... So many years have passed, yet (if anything) we have regressed and become even more divided. This powerful cover is perfectly suited for our current state and should serve as a wake-up call -- or will it "like silent raindrops" fall?
3089. MasterPotSmith 420: You guys really gotta listen to some Shinedown, their cover of Simple Man is perfection. You guys could react to Multiple Shinedown songs, “Shed Some Light”, “I’ll follow you”, “45”.. There are many more Great Hits..
3090. 0zzyaddict: August burns red please
3091. Jordan Rivard: You guys are awesome! You should react to mammas song by Cody jinks
3092. Kenny Roberts: He's just as good live
3093. George Martinez: chris adams hell yeah
3094. Igornopolis: +aderi31415 Oh lord.. No, it was not. Horribly uninspired and regurgitated p.o.s. Hard to believe actually, that the same band that wrote Mer de Noms and 13th step back in the "good 'ol days". Those were efforts of a envelope pushing, creative minds that had fresh ideas and fully charged musical integrity. Those days are long gone for APC me thinx...But we all have different perceptions of reality. Music is universal. Yes.. Cheers.
3095. kiteflyer2000: Yep, I thought it was Howie too the first time I saw it on the Internet. :)
3096. alecfed: It's sad, but your a couple of bone heads.
3097. Doug Phillips: listen to the song !!!! you can criticize after it's over. I stopped watching after YOU stopped the song on the 2nd time can't stand that crap..
3098. Ancient Ruins Official: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🍺
3099. Seth morton: please you guys as much as you like hip hop too check our Fire From The Gods..... Excuse me. its a mix of the genres just check it out
3100. Brent: Nice job George and Ryan! Not sure what I expected - maybe expecting the sensationalism and hype for entertainment's sake that is often (usually?) a hallmark of content creators. I was pleased to encounter an objective and thoughtful review of a song. I'll check out more videos - thanks again. I also enjoyed the side observations you expressed - he really does look like Howie Mendel :) .
3101. alucard king: Just listen to the music stop talking men damm
3102. Anthony Garcia: Led Zeppelin- Achilles last stand. Please.
3103. Dale Thompson: Dude on the right THINKS!
3104. BreezyGamer92: Love that song. Have you two ever heard of George Thorogood? I recommend his song One Bourbon, on Scotch, One Beer Bad to The Bone, another good song, was my favorite growing up.
3105. Sticky Bandit: Shadow On The Sun - Audioslave
3106. Anthony the mad stallion duck: Rise of the northstar- here comes the boom. It's a metal fusion that reminds me of hatebreed, rammstein, and transplants surprisingly.
3107. Tim Rogers: Commercial music vs music as art.
3108. Terrie Cotham: I love the Org- but this is not bad Music is to the ear like art are to the eyes as they say. Songs can open the mine, heart or make one thank in life and its hard to all ways get the meaning right for at times they can reach deep inside the heart were dreams, hope, love, death, and fear life and make us feel songs can tell stores of life and of people from hearos to outlaws. they can speak of people fighting for freedom or a better way of life of lost loves or great deeds in battle or death. Songs offer so much to the world and may we never lose music for if we do the world will be a darker place for all were hope, dreams, love and respect could die a slow death in no-mans land. To me I would let the music play from start to end before comment on it for breaking things up can take away from its overall effect many times I do not like remakes and at others times there better and he was good. This song came out in the 1960 time frame the US was going through many changes from the war to civel rights protest which made the US A stronger nation from all those that work so hard and the music was changing along with the young people as well. We have the dock of the bay to have you ever seen the rain coming down to Papa was a rolling stone and Mow town Music is candy to the ears
3109. Tyson Dorsey: I'm gonna start do reaction videos to reaction videos 🤔
3110. Neceros: I know Disturbed can sing, but it just sounds autotuned. I don't like this song for some reason. The original is better.
3111. ec1122: https://youtu.be/trhPm-hPrsg
3112. Joe Kent - the Magical Gent: Nessun Dorma by Manowar
3113. krulldunk: Limp Bizkit - Take A Look Around
3114. Robin Addis-Vaughn: First, I love this cover, it's better than the original. I think that Simon & Garfunkel were having issues in their partnership at the time. But, I have always taken it as the difference between the songwriters and performers vs. The ALMIGHTY record companies that they "created". So many young kids wanted to be signed that they didn't even read the contract. They were not paid for writing the songs they performed. So, there was a time when there wasn't a "strike" but the tension between the record companies and performers was coming to a head. I mean, Columbia Records cut Johnny Cash because in his 70s he wasn't at the top of the charts, but Columbia built its empire on the backs of artists like Johnny Cash. So at the end of this video where you see the writers and musicians coming together it's showing that they had to stand together because so many great voices were not being heard. Or at least, that's what I have always taken away from it. But, I really think this cover is better than the original, perhaps because it better conveys what I always thought the song meant. That's just my weird take on it. LOVE & PEACE OUT! ✌
3115. Steve Loring: This song is about oppression we bring on ourselves in our modern techno society.
3116. Skeptical Ginger Beard: not best cover, great though. I still think is All along the watchtower, Jimi Hendricks covering Bob Dylan. Or Tool's cover of No Quarter, a Led Zep song.
3117. Cody H: Sounds of social justice
3118. ThrashGod Cid: distrbed was one of the bands in queen of the damned, yall have definetly heard down with the sickness. also the howie thing .......thats what i said when i first saw him lol he looks like the dude from disturbed lol.
3119. Robert Fritz: They disturbed a great song , some stuff should not be covered
3120. Blakkout 77: Do more disturbed!!!! Pleeeeease
3121. Jayarbal: Ok, it's done. Can we now listen to real music again?
3122. Sandy Hickey: technology was not back then when that song was done originally, the neon god was invented by man meaning man made up god, god didn't make man
3123. GrandFaja Armani: And then listen to the lounge version of THAT song from "Dawn of the Dead".
3124. Ej Bhojie: A7X - Save Me
3125. Reborn: Holy... I’ve never seen so much dislike for this song in any comment section but here, this song is amazing, people need an ear extraction for sure lol
3126. torchred99: Better...……….
3127. Asa Carr: Best cover of all time either goes to the Animals House of the Rising Sun or Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You
3128. J Wilson Handmade Knives: Jan-Erik Svenning Willie Nelson’s covers of The Scientist and Just Breathe are very good, too. Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt is probably the greatest cover ever recorded.
3129. Brian Barker: I'd much rather listen to Simon and Garfunkel's version, but I'm also not a big fan of Disturbed. but whoever said this is the best cover ever is a moron. What about Jimi Hendrix's cover of all along the watchtower or Hey Joe, or what about Led Zeppelin's many blues covers? Led Zeppelin- I Cant Quit You Babe
3130. John-boy: I think he looks more like Andre Agassi
3131. Jason Carroll: Bobaflex Sound of Silence. Closer to the original. I'm a huge Bobaflex fan so I'm biased, but I think it's better than this.
3132. John Beardsley: Cheap figure heads in a digital world . . . trapped in "reality" programming . . . neon gods like Trump . . . our country and our world is more divided than ever because we don't listen, we only talk and shout . . .
3133. imzul: You should do some other Disturbed songs to hear some of their heavier stuff. This cover is very different from their usual sound, it's still very good though!
3134. Darkhorse393: One of the biggest things you need to take away from this cover is how well he was able to sing this. If you compare this song to other Disturbed music you will be in shock. Thats one of the main reasons its so popular. Not only because its a classic song but the fact that Disturbeds cover made it EPIC!
3135. Nikhil D Rao: Original was better ...
3136. joym824: 😂😂😊😊 Howie Mendel!!!!
3137. David [WeaponMasterX]: This is a cover song Disturbed isn’t the originator
3138. Morgan Waller: You should watch the live version from the Conan show
3139. Peg E: Not a fan of this song, nor the way this guy sings it.
3140. Heiko R: Now listen to Nevermore's version of The Sound of Silence and be blown away (in one way or another...).
3141. Kelly Goodman: This was written in the 60s to put it in perspective.
3142. JJS1296 ´: So I'm definitely biased cause Disturbed was the first metal band I really liked. You really gotta listen to some of their originals though, they are a really solid metal band. Most of their stuff is very appealing to people because it's extremely rhythmic, quite melodic and not that complicated. This cover though, in my opinion, was made just to highlight David Draiman's singing ability and honestly even if you hate the song for whatever reason you have to admit his voice is amazing. Personally I've never liked the original from s&g so this doesn't really do it for me either, but it's still a great cover.
3143. martin0815123: serisously you mofos wouldnt understand garfunkel Songs in a hundred of years, i tell you the secret before you start another disturbing clickbaitvideos, their Songs are all about war in Vietnam, believe it or not you can find out yourself
3144. dixxietrixx: I think the neon God represents commercialism..
3145. gaming freaks: +transmit13 I guess "something" refers to your pea sized brain here. Ok, I get that.
3146. gCuezy: Do Skindred - Nobody Reggae Metal... metal's not something I listen to all the time but I love this track.
3147. Dennis Green: Disturbed sucks ass and is disturbing to listen too. But I love your guys videos. Howie Mandel comment was hilarious btw.
3148. Inchristalone777: @0:00 into the vid and TAKE YOUR LIKE!!!
3149. Chris Brummet: Do some The Smashing Pumpkins songs.
3150. David Russnak: The idea is basically just that there's this growing disconnect between people these days. As a species we are guilty of a lot of the things said in this song: we distract ourselves a lot with tv and technology, rather than communicating with one another. We take what we see and hear in the media as an accurate reflection of the world, but can't ever seem to remember that they're businesses, and have to go with what earns money. People have a tendency to speak seeking agreement rather than discussion. We hear each other but we often aren't trying to really look at what the other person is saying or where they're coming from. Then there are things like, if you poke around online enough, you find out that there are a lot of amazingly gifted people in the world. Some write amazing poetry, or songs, or music, or create phenomenal artwork, and yet all these strangers online see it, but not one person they actually know in the real world has seen or heard any of it, or knows that they can do those things, because we've built this whole environment where it's easier to expose yourself to strangers than it is to the people who are your friends or family, and where people have best friends they've never seen, because it's emotionally safer than being best friends with people on their own block. There's a lot of noise, but somehow there still seems to be this kind of weird silence between us when it comes to the things that really matter to us. Technology has connected us in a lot of ways, but it has disconnected us in some of the most critical ways, and even though we see it, we still keep going back to it. Sacrificing ourselves and our lives to it like it's some kind of god.
3151. Aaron Lancaster: The Simon & Garfunkel version is better.
3152. Michael Kapty: If you're gonna do a cover... do Nights in White Satin by Oceans of Slumber
3153. That Boy T: Both of those songs are equally great IMO
3154. R.: Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls
3155. Ryan Rudolph: If you've heard one Disturbed song, you've heard them all. Quintessential cookie cutter band.
3156. Angelo Torres: Great cover got to give him that. Dio & Malmsteen - Dream On is another great cover. please react to Savatage - St. Patrick (Best lyrics)
3157. Bryce B: I agree. I think they would love bat out of hell
3158. Travis belanger: +Zack Morse fair enough 😂
3159. The Dude86: Coulple references to the band in the song too. You hear the bands name as do you hear 10,000 people, they have a song called 10,000 fists.
3160. Daddymatt00: This is the absolute WORST cover, and the worst song to come out in a long time. I cannot stand it. This is a perfect example of a band who has faded out of the scene. Then the record company follows the formula: do a cover and hype it up enormously. All the top 40 cock rockers will gobble it up and act like it was brilliant.. please, oh please, retire Disturbed. You are complete garbage. You will NEVER make an album on par with the first 2 albums.
3161. Dmart 360: Donnie Darko ♥️
3162. Umbradens Wolfking: I was actually seeing a reaction to this when this dropped
3163. Nolan Doehass: Audioslave like a stone is an awesome song they should review I agree hole heartedly. Quad Clops
3164. Adrián Pedreño Olmos: Very good reaction!!, this is a good versión but if you really want to listen disturbed i strongly recommend you Stupify, the game, down with the sickness, 1000 fists, the night, prayer,... in all these songs the singer shows his power and also the whole band with their powerful and characteristics riffs!!!!
3165. Garnalenpeller: PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT
3166. I EAT ASS: Y'all need to react to Danzig-mother
3167. Alvin Lim: Snuff by slipknot plz
3168. semiserioussam: r/iamverysmart
3169. DAN CURRIN: The lead singer of Disturbed is David Dramin. I doubt I spelled his last name correctly. He is amazing. You need to review them more often.
3170. Pedro Marques: Fu Manchu - Evil Eye pleeease 😀
3171. Joshua Thrift: Never heard you guys so quiet before. Hahahaha.
3172. Chris Rhoton: I can’t believe you got suckered into this. The requests for this song are a gag. This is maybe the worst POS song I’ve ever heard. They destroyed a decent song. And this singer. Seriously. People with any taste at all don’t actually like this. They’re just goofing on you.
3173. Scot A. Griffin: Nevermore’s version of the Sound of Silence transforms the song and is much better than Disturbed’s version.
3174. manfredmar: Dream Theater the best of Times :)
3175. Frank: There's no pleasure there, it was a dark time.
3176. HurtCow: Actually he looks like Evan Handler from Californication.
3177. thatguymage: Interpol - the new
3178. DAN CURRIN: You need to check out Disturbed The Light. Being a volunteer FIRE Fighter. He was buried badly in a STRUCTURE FIRE and burned his face and had to do recover. There's Light in the darkness of life. My former bother was almost burned to death. Makes you stronger and think that could have been me. You definitely need to check out more of Disturbed. There songs are powerful. Hit me back. Dan.
3179. Steven Busch: Disturbed is a very good band gotta do land of confusion another good cover. Do into the fire has a great back story
3180. Duane Eberling: +Roger Frost I saw that.
3181. Ieatass69: Whiskey Myers - broken window serenade
3182. Georgeanne C: The way i interpret the lyrics as used in the video, at the end you see the writers of the music, the words, meeting those who have the ability to bring their music to life with their instruments, finally causing the darkness to lift and chase away the silence/darkness.
3183. Toney513: He looked like Howie a lot of bit lol
3184. Leeloo Minai: I wondered about the "neon god" myself, so, I went to check when the original was released and, damn, it's older than I thought - 1965. That, immediately, narrows down the technology idea to one possibility -TV (CRTs) and people being glued to them at that time. However, "neon" could just mean "shiny, eye catching" in some general sense, and be applied pretty much to any concept, ideology, religious, or not, that people focus on so much that they lose a way to communicate with each other. Like YouTube or something like that. Wait a minute... never mind.
3185. HotMoo: No matter how good something is, like George said in a previous video, there's always people that are gonna be like naaa, wasn't even all that.
3186. Zebulon Swearingen: Kelly Reynolds Disturbed is a super-tight unified sounding band. I heard they’re excellent live.
3187. VogonPoet67: Because of the power and passion of his voice, I think it's easy to miss what is going on in the background in the video. It starts with destroyed musical instruments (the destruction of music). Then a guitar is pulled from the dirt and a drum is pulled from a tree. We then see the guitarist walking, and we see the drummer walking. The guitarist comes to a place where he can see hundreds or thousands of people on the other side of the water on their hands and knees writing songs, but not singing or playing them. Then one and another of the song writers begin to slowly stand, and on the other side the drummer plays the drum. We see a scene of all the song writers across the water standing, and their music shines with light. We see the guitarist and drummer joined by dozens of other musicians and their instruments on their side of the water. We see a view of both groups staring silently at each other across the divide. The video ends with the musicians crossing the water to the song writers - a hopeful ending in my opinion. It seems like the message of the video (perhaps not Paul Simon's original message), is that music needs both to exist. Notes on paper without voices and instruments results in silence. Instruments and musicians without a song to play also results in silence. Songwriters and musicians together, however, result in a song like this one.
3188. tony tilleczek: Things that hurt my ears: Finger nails on a chalkboard. The sound of babies screaming in a grocery store line-up. This song.
3189. Sam Psyhakis: Check out down with the sickness by disturbed to hear disturbs real sound and the rang of David’s voice
3190. ayeee160113: Starlight by muse!!!
3191. tdsdudes: I know how much you guys like Myles Kennedy. I am a huge fan of AlterBridge since day 1. Growing up in the 70s I really appreciate you guys visiting some of the classics. Avenged Sevenfold is also one of my favs. Really enjoy what you guys do. The following video is Disturbed (you know their song Sickness) with Myles in Houston doing Sound of Silence live. Match made in heaven for vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3By4DZyTNM Enjoy and keep doing what you do!
3192. j c: You guys are hilarious
3193. da324: Anyone who thinks this is the best cover ever needs to experience more covers! Maybe start with Jimi Hendrix doing Dylan's All Along the Watchtower for starters.
3194. Wicked Wings: It was annoying as anything everytime you stopped the damn video. Wth.. Clearly you didn't enjoy it.
3195. pjanderson66: The original song was released and popular during the Vietnam War and turbulent Civil Rights era of the 60's. This is why the remake resonates so well among those of us who remember those days and how they seem to parallel today's political and social woes.
3196. James Miller: This song surely has to be put in the context of the late 60s. It does have meaning beyond that of course as well.
3197. dagluke: Odd first disturbed track to listen to
3198. Paul F.: Gears Of War 4 trailer song??
3199. Zaydas: you guys should react to the live version
3200. Thomas Eller: Clutch! Cypress Grove
3201. J Thiccy: I really think the next metal song should be Eulogy by Tool. You guys will love it and it's been awhile since we've seen Tool on here!! 🤙🤙
3202. Phill Rufus: +Ashley Collins Not right, just what I interpreted and took away from Disturbed's more emotional cover and imagery
3203. Mark Fox: What makes it great with alot of people is what they normally singing....down with the sickness is somethin of thiers that you may have heard theyre hard rock band
3204. gwalia2112: Great reactin guys. These are not my kind of band but this is a classic. Here is another cover of theirs, it too is great. It's a cover called Land Of Confusion which is a Genesis song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV4oYkIeGJc
3205. Bracewell Wayne: Still pushin Sabbath bloody Sabbath! From the same album! Cover title song! Do it boys! Love you guys! 👍
3206. Angel Gd: Wow you must really be LOST in Vegas it took you this long to get to this reaction, great job as always gentlemen. SOul PAtch lol? They are piercings. I get why you stop it, never have a problem with it but in this case definitely listen again uninterrupted. The neon God in my mind is commercialization and consumption over humanity and connection. Things over people.
3207. Rusbell: It's a good cover for sure but I dont really listen to it, I just prefer the original so much more.
3208. Shawn McMurray: Now if you react to any other Disturbed song, you would not even think it was the same band. Like ten thousand fists. They seem to be stuck on ten thousand.
3209. Franomaly: Bro metal.
3210. Tana Williams: And the uncanniness people who are bowing and praying instead of to their God to their real god a man who lives in the White House
3211. Greg Pritchard: down with the sickness taylor swift mash up. So hauntingly beautiful, the pop melody makes an incredible song new and is probably the greatest mash up ever
3212. Kerim Mejdoub: You were absolutely correct about the eery original and the powerful cover. I think the cover is musically and vocally awesome, but still like the original better cause the eeriness suits the message of the song better.
3213. Samuel Ramphall: Metal is so beautiful when it is acoustic or toned down like this, it has a power beyond sheer volume or speed. Another attempt!! Dream Theater: Lines in the Sand (Once in a Live Time version), The Root of All Evil, Take the Time. Mudvayne: (Per)version of a Truth, Not Falling, A World so Cold (album version).
3214. James Steinberg: Mine would be great.
3215. Charlie Fay: Slip the void by alter bridge
3216. Change the world Now: Do “feels like summer” by childish gambino
3217. jamosensei: Funny...I thought he looked more like Bas Rutten when I first saw him.
3218. moffe2k: Not sure I understand your intention with this comment?
3219. Zebulon Swearingen: Darrell Crawford Right In.
3220. K: There is better way to enjoy the song! just listen it w/o this 2 idiots...............
3221. retipser j: could you guys react to "drive home" from Steven Wilson,sometime?
3222. Novaximus: Everyone tries to analyze the lyrics. It's poetic. It can mean different things to different people on how you personally connect with what the song is saying to your own frame of mind and maybe life experiences. In other words... what ever you'd like it to mean...you're not wrong. There is a common undertone that most understand of being in the dark and then accepted by a lot of beautiful people who were just like you with a very spiritual element.
3223. sandbox242: Money for nothing?
3224. Brian Hall: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other." as for the Neon God that could be anything from religion to technology that creates division among us to the point we are set in our ways that we can not see past our on beliefs, thoughts or opinions to think of others and have compassion and love to even try to understand one another.
3225. Hassan: We need PAC videos, i know you heard all his tracks but we like your reaction and the content in your videos, hope to watch it soon 🙌🏻
3226. Jay R159: avenged sevelfold buried alive
3227. Rodrigo Martinez: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Nuclear Fusion (live on KEXP)
3228. Al Mendez: Do some slipknot or system of a down!
3229. XanomalyX: Did he try to go JRoc style? "You know what i'm sayin"
3230. The philosophical headbanger: Metallica kill em all full album reaction, megadeth a toute Le monde & Alice in chains angrychair.
3231. William Kitchin: I watch you guys all the time and love you!!! You should Do Tash Sultana "Notion" the girl is a genius and rising star
3232. Jeff Nix: Great range
3233. Kaitlin LeVasseur: I think it would’ve been a lot more impactful if you’d heard their other music before. They’re normally heavy metal but then to hear David Draiman singing so beautifully is a really great contrast to what you’d expect to hear from them.
3234. Yoda Man: disturbed have also covered "land of confusion" by genesis (phil collins). great too. and i believe youre right with your analyzation of the lyrics. where we have technology today the same symbol would have been a neon sign in the 60s when this song first came out because neon signs were first being used to draw peoples attention to popular things and places. now we just have it in the palm of our hand.
3235. Mark C: Lol I'm like the only person who doesn't like this cover
3236. Touched by a 12gauge: Yeah Disturbed is going to be your new heavy metal favorite band just saying
3237. John Robinson: Stevie ray vaughan guys check him out
3238. Geir Ove Eilertsen: 0:45-0:49 Maybe you've heard it in a Simpsons-episode ("Hello Grampa, my old friend..." :-D )
3239. Patrick Day: For whom the bell tolls by Metallica
3240. DillyD: That was painful. Great vid!
3241. Steven Dozier: Talk at the end! Let the lyrics flow through you
3242. Thomas Page: Trent Timoy he does tho lol but I love these guys
3243. mark dolezal: sound of silence by nevermore. totally different version. but compelling
3244. Seven Bundy: Omg this song is as old as NAM. Its about the government kuruption,war and bombs as in my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light and drugs of course
3245. Giovani Bottesini: Now check out the Nevermore version
3246. Jonas Söder: Sounds like the singer swallowed ar frog.
3247. Nick: I'm still asking for some SEETHER.... The Gift, Walk Away From The Sun, Nobody Praying for Me, Words as Weapons, Weak, Needles, No Jesus Christ, Like Suicide.....
3248. Kathy Young: George is freakin crazy. 😂😂
3249. CLureCo: Great cover, but I really like the original better.
3250. Turtle: That's actually a piercing called snake bites not a soul patch.
3251. Darren Reichert: All white guys look alike, right? 😂😂😂
3252. Sam Counsell: S***, I got onto this same guys do you guys always do that? You always stop the video okay I'm going to see how many times you stop it in this one so far at the beginning he stopped at once
3253. MravacKid: I've been a fan of the Simon & Garfunkel original for almost all of my 40 years of life, but this cover is so well done, with so much passion and feeling, that I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like better. :) And considering I don't particularly like Disturbed's usual style of music, I can only give them mad props for this one.
3254. Evan Davidson: honestly I'd rather hear the original...though it is a good vehicle for draiman's voice...good timbre...a little melodramatic....
3255. megan kelly: Should've watched the live version
3256. Gretchen Schulz: Come on pink Floyd sucks their sick of riding Zeppelin's coat tail.
3257. Luis Angel: WINTERSUN - TIME - LIVE AT SONIC PUMP STUDIOS (WintersunJari youtube channel)
3258. Yaliin Cruz: Mouth of Kala - Gojira
3259. Elvis Alvarez: I disliked only cause he paused at the best part
3260. Todd Hall: Agreed. I actually prefer Bobaflex's cover of this to Disturbed's although David has an incredible voice.
3261. Dave Janes: Guys, still holding out for Onset by Band Maid.
3262. fåttda: Muse - Knights of Cydonia!
3263. Akiman Barwa: I have not seen any reaction vide of P.O.D...they wwere great. Do a reaction of "Youth of the nation"!
3264. Some F-ing Band: U have to listen to other disturbed songs to understand why this is such a big deal
3265. laura beth Belcher: Great song. I disagree with it being the greatest cover, as you guys have already done that. The greatest cover of all time is Tennessee Whiskey. For proof, go check out how David Allen Coe presented that song to the world. I don't recommend getting any further into his collection of work though. Have a great day!
3266. baba black: He literally had autotune on in his live performance on that one talk show.
3267. TheMasonator777: Nice job guys. I much prefer the Disturbed cover of “Land of Confusion” to this myself. I miss the amazing harmonies from the original tune on this one. I did see a live version of this where Myles Kennedy sang the harmonies. I enjoyed that more. To me, the best “Sound of Silence” was the Simon and Garfunkel live reunion show in... I think Central Park. The harmonies are hair raising.
3268. Cindy T: You guys did great with your interpretation. And yes, very powerful song...both versions...but Disturbed's version hits the grand slam on it.
3269. dahanks1: Let us not forget that George Noory played this on Coast to Coast and called it creepy.
3270. Gilbert Duke: Ass clowns
3271. Raiderblack: Disturbed , Down With The Sickness!! If you wanna know what they really sound like.... The sound of silence is so classic and David Draiman did it total justice!
3272. bigoz1977: Or a bald Kevin’s pollock 👍
3273. ManchGuy22: A Martian Winter - Angel Vivaldi Funeral - Silent Civilian Be Quiet and Drive - Deftones
3274. stewy37: My favorite is Stricken, and I've been asking for that to be reacted to for a while. I'd be happy with any of the songs you listed.
3275. chris soto: There's power in lyrics. And there's power in vocals. This is a prime example of both coming together beautifully.
3276. Kevin Miller: The only thing more embarrassing than that cover is the video that accompanies it. If you want a solid metal band cover of a Simon and Garfunkel tune, try Queensrÿche’s version of Scarborough Fair. As for Disturbed, I have no problem with them, but this droning vocal over a snoozer of an “orchestral” arrangement isn’t even the band’s best cover, let alone “greatest cover of all time”.
3277. Larry Forman: Jackpipe - Take Me To the Buffet
3278. Jan J: I hate his voice ... totaly grap. They ruined the song for me
3279. monicajean37: Would'nt it be great to hear them do some HEART? LIKE LET'S SAY..................BARRACUDA????????? LOL
3280. Nacho: this cover is straight up garbage. they shoudn't toutch this song. Check out samsara blues experiment - for the lost souls
3281. Gigi Contreras: How about Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike?
3282. John Story: Dumen
3283. Anthony Nastasi: This dude is annoying as f***. Get over yourself broheme.
3284. Baby Sloth: You guys should have reacted to something that's actually from them like Stupify or Liberate you guuuuuuuyssss
3285. Innoculate: The silence are people murdered by the U.S. military. This is an anti war song. >.>
3286. allgood2go: Fools
3287. michaelpf1: Disturbed- the darkness
3288. Nicole Jessica: Can you please react to Elvis Unchained Melody LIVE 🙏 It's his last performance before he died 😢 it will grab your soul! I know you go by popularity, and I know you won't get another request for this song, it's a buried treasure. I will just keep suggesting it, lol. Pleeeeeeeeeeease!! I promise you will love it! 🔥 🔥 🔥
3289. tailsof1Leo: This is a beautifully done cover. But it’s not a typical sound for Disturbed. They are one of my favorite bands. I encourage you to give some of their other songs a listen. Some I would recommend are “Legion of Monsters” & “You’re Mine.” A couple of their new songs that are new are “A Reason to Fight” & “Are You Ready.”
3290. sixt9coug: StupidGayBearName It’s a great album, and there’s lots of good selections on there that aren’t too “out there”. I busted out some vinyl this morning and had Rain Dogs on. Not a bad way to start the day.
3291. Scott Ch: I'm not exactly sure of what the lyrics of Sound of Silence mean, I think you can read into them on a lot of levels, maybe it is technology or maybe it's cultural or racial or societal, who knows, maybe all of the above are correct, but I do know this, the live version on the Conan O'Brien show kicks ass over the studio version. Listen to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7RVw3I8eg
3292. Mike Romano: Awful band. Please don't go down this road.
3293. jason amos: Yes yes yes...Paradise, Bat...anything
3294. Stéphan LAPLAGNE: i would like to see your reaction about this band from France : Atlantis Chronicle with the song " upwelling part 1" from the album The Barton's Odissey . Regards
3295. GeirGunnarss: The problem I have with a lot of the reactors that react to this song is that they have no foundational knowledge of Disturbed. They don´t know if this genre is unusual for the band or if this is right up their alley. I wish that reactors would check out things like Down with the Sickness, Prayer and Stricken before reacting to this song.
3296. Eric Roberts: David Draiman has an amazing voice. The song is about politics and how people get so divided and partisan to the point where they are talking but not listening. This was as true back in the 60's as it is today.
3297. Cynthia Howard: Great song!! Loved this version. I’m not sure if y’all have done this one, but Bad Wolves-Zombie is AMAZING. The Cranberries did the original! Definitely take a listen to it!!
3298. eduardo lopez: do some audioslave - the worm or soundgarden burden in my hand
3299. Hollie Wardlaw: If you haven't listened to anything else by them you definitely should. It's pretty heavy but I love them. This song really showcases his voice whereas most of their stuff is really gruff. Until I heard this cover, I didn't realize how powerful and beautiful his voice really is. VERY talented!!!
3300. Lurch685: Elijah Hernandez Cornell’s vocals are horribly annoying in Like a Stone. So whiny and droning.
3301. Fabian Lelo: Inferno (Unleash the Fire)! :D
3302. Peggy Penguin: +baba black David Draiman is an exceptional singer and he was classically trained...He doesn't need or use autotune. 🐧🐧🐧
3303. theshape1984: karnivool roquefort
3304. Aidean: u guys should do some Sade ... classic
3305. dylan omens: My fav tool song
3306. Dyan Hogue: Stop questioning your interpretation of lyrics. Everyone has their own interpretation that comes from the intersection of the poet's words and the listener's experiences. Our understanding and interpretations change over time as we accumulate more and more diverse experiences. Your interpretations are YOURS and are as valid as anyone else's.
3307. Tara Roberts: very good analysis
3308. stealthRUSH: prefer the original 100x more than this ver...
3309. Brad Benjamine: The original is the best!
3310. Teets_McGheets: I'm just now realizing you guys haven't done ANY Disturbed yet other than this song. Crazy. Y'all definitely need to hear more of them. They're incredible.
3311. Chris Pearce: Have to listen to the live Conan version
3312. Carlos Rubino: It is like this song has evolved with the times. The original Simon and Garfunkel version was sung with sadness, as a warning, to take a serious look at what was going on in the world and learn how to communicate with each other. If that warning was heeded maybe 50,000+ Americans would have not died in Vietnam. Now this version (Which I think is the better of the two), is sung with rage, because the warning of the original was not heeded. So what is in store for the next version? A song of complete silence, because of a destroyed world, if the ignorance continues?
3313. Ross Mudie: Disturbed? Metal by numbers..... Boooooring
3314. Your Boy Eobard Thawne: Many artists love when we derive our own meaning from their songs. Seal is a perfect example.
3315. Native Injunn: Neon God = Internet and AI crap maybe?
3316. Doc Lewis: It's about war...and the history of repeating it.
3317. Cody Campbell: Alan Jackson. Tim McGraw. COUNTRY ROYALTY.
3318. Coon & Friends: +Ricky Spanish eddie vedder is better cuz he's not dead
3319. James Anderson: Panic! At The Disco: Death Of A Bachelor Something different I think would be a fun reaction.
3320. Milissa Silks: The neon god is television....
3321. Kevin Babb: Joe Cocker has a litany of covers as good, if not better than Disturbed
3322. Vincenzo de Alimamala Corningston the Third: MYRKUR
3323. TheAxlSnaks: This may not be the best song to react to when it comes to this band because it isn't very similar to the rest of their songs, it is important to note though that Disturbed is famous for applying their sounds to covers for the past decade or more (Land of Confusion cover is almost 15 years old now, damn) Still pushing for Mr. Bungle! For something pretty: Pink Cigarette For something weird: Merry Go Bye Bye Bear in mind that any song you listen to by Mr. Bungle will never give you a full understanding of their sound, because they're so experimental
3324. erakus: You should listen to some other Disturbed for reference. Like 10 thousand fists. Also another cover.. they did shout. And land of confusion
3325. Peccath: *cough*autotune*cough*
3326. Shadow: Another good cover to check out zombie by bad wolves
3327. Zebulon Swearingen: “10,000 Fists” by Disturbed. “Land of Confusion” written by Genesis? Phil Collins? & covered by Disturbed. I think this is 1 reason they call themselves Disturbed. Because their music contains references to popularly disturbing things, things that probably disturb Disturbed, etc. Black Eyed Peas did “Where is The Love” which reminds me of “Land of Confusion” lyrically. They also did “Anxiety” featuring Papa Roach on the same album. Anything by Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. “Crosstown Traffic” by the Jimi Hendrix Experience if you wanna hear a truly disturbing, interesting song written in 1968.
3328. Steve Pechar: i think this song is about what death might be like so what if dying is like a dream that never ends this song is about that
3329. April Ray Alabama Tall Chic: Not a "Soul Patch" Open your Damn eyes an it's bad ass piercings. I've been a fan since 2000 when they released their first Album. I was 20 & Now 38. He has one bad ass voice. Saw them 6 times live.
3330. Kelly Foster: I was thinking look like Phil Collins on steroids
3331. stef tatufo: Do Savatage - When the Crowds are gone <3
3332. Neville Jinscecki: Your analysis is correct. The "Neon god" is comfort. It is the individuals quest at all costs to obtain "stuff" and being consumed by that quest, fail to effectively communicate, feel or engage. Think of a family around the dinner table all engrossed in their phones, the silence is deafening. The end of the video shows the attempt to communicate by the music and the words coming together to make a song. Good job.
3333. Marie0220: If they do Stevie it has to be live versions
3334. Wayne Dunn: I'm diggin ya'lls reaction videos, keep em coming, the most honest reactions out there!
3335. Who Knows: You should do "Stricken" or "Sons of Plunder"
3336. Michael mabrey: The live version on Conan is better
3337. Super Sam85: Why does every single person featured on these damn Wix commercials annoy me so much?
3338. Alvaro Aguilar: Rage Against The Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad
3339. matt74moses: I prefer the original version of this MUCH more.
3340. John Clemens: Not technology song was recorded in 1964
3341. Paul Retzbach: John-boy haha....he does!! 👏👏
3342. Joshua Atchley: Alabama shakes grimmie all your love....
3343. Ken C: Good call with the Howie Mandel...I'm not really a fan of this group but this song version is great. Free thinkin fellas
3344. gungutuzero: Exodus- Pleasures of the Flesh!!! #SECONDCHANCESIN2018!!!!!!!
3345. ronaldov09: If you want a metal cover, my suggestion is Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden) by Machine Head. Would love to hear an outsiders opinion of both versions!
3346. DPSufferer: Soilwork- Nerve
3347. hoosd42: The live version on Conan O’brien is way better than the studio version.
3348. Jennifer Meowmy of 5: Also Ghost Love Score, Storytime, and Dark Chest of Wonders
3349. Helen G: Maybe listen first you missed all the feelings and emotions of the dong. U guys suck you ruined a song.
3350. MJNation: I’m divided about the cover but I am a disturbed fan. You should react to Replica by Fear Factory and Egypt by Symphony X.
3351. Dylan Underwood: The Dillinger Escape Plan- Milk Lizard
3352. BÖC ROCK ROB: Supremacy by Tarja please!!!
3353. ItsJustMe: to me it seems to be a reflection of society, and the fear to speak out against tyranny and the powers who control our lives, essentially leaving the 'common' person alone and worthless, even though we are great in number..
3354. mistah pelican: Do more Brockhampton please
3355. Thunder978: Know who else looks like Howie Mandel? MACHINE HEAD DAVIDIAN.
3356. Yahya Al Hajj: I'm not a disturbed fan, yet i agree this song is one of the best covers ever made.
3357. Christobanistan: Nope, it's a song about a totalitarian government society that crushes dissent. The Neon God that "lashes out it warning" is the secret police. This was the 1960s, people. Stop interpreting in your own terms and think about the context of when the author wrote it.
3358. Jo Jo: I hate this cover. I think Disturbed destroyed it.
3359. Vova Minakov: Sepultura - Ratamahatta
3360. Shawn Reynolds: You guys would probably like smooth by Santana
3361. metal groupie: Gojira - Ocean Planet
3362. brye N: Subjective which is the poetry. Y’all get a lot of it, also it’s everything that keeps the spirit down. You may produce nurturing beauty such as rain but it falls on deaf ears/senses.
3363. Jealous Gods: +taup184 symphomic/power metal
3364. Jordan Mannix: Snakes for the Divine would be sick. That intro riff is so killer. Turk and Fury Whip too. Just do a High on Fire song please!
3365. Alexis Ribas Homebox: No reaction from the dude in the right at all
3366. DragonsKindler: I agree the radio edit kills all the emotion
3367. Arek Sałata: This is the worst cover of all time.
3368. MetalliBucket: Sanctuary by Elder please!! I think guys will love it. Stoner/doom metal, clean singing, great transitions
3369. Josh Bou': ♡♡♡ The most beautiful thing about good music is that regardless of the true intent of the song it's open to interpretation, like dreaming to instrumentals. Everyone puts a little bit of themselves into the music and so no two visions are the same.
3370. SicklessHell: React to Code Orange - Forever
3371. Joseph Buttrum: Yes!!!!! Awesome request
3372. moobang: Absolutely worth watching whether you like disturbed or not, "The greatest hit of disturbed" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66gSvNeqevg
3373. kandy goodwin: Should have listened to a Disturbed song before you listened to this.. then you really would have been in awe. He is amazing.
3374. Scott Schoenkopf: Rammstein-Sonne. As an OG Simon and Garfunkel fan, this is a good not great cover. S&G were voices of a generation and it was a different era during Vietnam
3375. Peter Brown: Still pushing my list boys: 1. Metallica-Whiplash. 2. Metal Church- Metal Church. 3.Megadeth- Peace Sells but Whose Buying. 4. VoiVod-Ripping Headaches. 5. Celtic Frost-Procreation of the Wicked. Let's make it happen boys.
3376. Robinson michel: I'm a hip hop head but the sound of silence was a huge song in the 70 or 60 but it is a great song.
3377. Patrick McKennedy: Every time I hear Disturbed, I will think of Howie Mandel asking if we could escalate this matter with my manager.
3378. Scott Watson: Man I been requesting mudvayne world so cold for close to a year come on cuhhhh
3379. terry snipes: Damn I am old... as the old fart in the house I love listening to your comments on songs. First you were both right on the "the sound of silence" was first released I think in 1966 which was a whole lot different... the vietnam war, civil rights, a generation asking to be heard, a music industry set in its' way.. I think they all contributed to the lyrics... You were right there was a 5000 pound elephant in the room and no one wanted to talk about it....good job
3380. nohat 1375: i find this song slow and boring
3381. Eric McElveen: this sing was writer in the early 60sf
3382. Brad Cooney: Pretty weak reaction to be honest. I've watched about 20 reaction videos to this song, and it's funny how so many reactors are cracking jokes about his appearance, and clowning around, then at about the 3 minute mark the smirks and jokes disappear. This singer is brilliant. Simply brilliant.
3383. Joellen Wortham: It's about technology the first was Neon lights and then advanced to phones,Speaking without saying a word.TEXT hearing without speaking TEXTING songs wrote without anybody hearing people writing songs but never putting them forward.Neon God is people hurting, stealing,over phones.And people being killed for the neon God they made cell phones.
3384. Lance37a: I think this version sucks.
3385. Steven Stifler: Django Jane!!! If y’all don’t like it I’ll donate 50 to yalls patron
3386. Martin Schuster: People which don't speak, people that don't listen. I believe the lyrics are about increasing fail to communicate, which is a cancer in our society. But then again, considering the year the song was initially released... Probably Simon and Garfunkel had something else in mind
3387. Arnas Dre: They should have listened live version of this performed at Conan show.
3388. biggred333: Ryan is thinking "Imma let George dig his own grave on this one" lmao
3389. Gustavo Mendoza: Hey guys, you already did War Pigs from Black Sabbath, Faith no More did an amazing cover of that song that you should check out!
3390. Jr: If only you guys played the live version.
3391. GeeStang: It's dark...
3392. Kope_22: Nice video lads. I always find strong powerful voices that show great emotion/vulnerability create an amazing feeling when hearing it, as i think the concept of being strong powerful is traditionally not associated with being emotional or maybe vulnerable, so when you hear this kind of sounds it causes an amazing emotional response from the listener. I've never really listened to disturbed myself but love this song.
3393. April Poucher: Down and out by Tantric is really good and really deep.
3394. 1gitarz: LOL...."Howie Mandel"
3395. Sticky Bandit: I guess I’m just biased. Saw disturbed plenty of times and one of the most boring shows, his vocals sound bad live, and he stands there and beats his chest with his fist every now and then. The original song has some of the best harmony in modern music, this cover is bad.
3396. Nicolas Broszky: This is a cover you fucking morons.
3397. Brooklyn Stitcher: @Tim None Paul Simon may not have attributed deep meaning to the song, however the great thing about music is that it can mean something to the person listening that the writer never intended. The reason this song meant so much to those who heard it back in the 60s was because of what was going on at the time. The reason this version of the song touches me is because of what is going on now. The song doesn't have to mean the same thing to everyone. However, regardless of when it was written or who is singing it or what Paul Simon intended when he wrote it, it moves people. And that is the mission of all art.
3398. Josh Kensinger: August Burns Red - White Washed and/or Marianas Trench, two of the best songs from their album Constellations.
3399. Robert Oliveira: Since people are doing this, let me suggest the Simon and Garfunkel live version from the Central Park show in '83
3400. Eric Burch: Yeeesss thank you guys
3401. Isaac Simpson: The song was written when the country was literally being torn apart
3402. Pug Shorty: I would also add "Into the Fire"
3403. Rodrigo Cardoso: Nervermore version of this song is so much better than this one...
3404. Trappertilltheend: Y'all need to do weatherman by hank Williams Jr its an amazing song
3405. noe martinez: Y’all should react to j.i.d working out!!
3406. Eric Atchison: I’d love to see them do a reaction video for Overburdened or even Prayer
3407. Azer: the song is a warning of sorts, cut the bullshit and reconnect, people have wondered why disturbed's version sounds more aggressive compared to the original, i've read some posts online suggesting the original, the original warning, convey it calmly and maybe people will listen get the message and change before it's too late...but decades later nothing has changed and disturbs version is like beat it into your head full on aggressive we need to change with urgency
3408. Dandy Jon: I will forever push for avatar let it burn!
3409. nick.mason: I live in Vegas too been wondering if I’d ever run into you guys, haven’t yet
3410. jacob092: React to Animal Magnetism (song) -- Scorpions
3411. dextc: StephenRahrig dude... i'm not offended. I don't take offence to anything.. i'm baffled... How a band like Simon & Garfunkel has missed the radar is something i just don't understand. Especially if you are a music lover. - oh and i'm in my 30's 😊
3412. Robert Sensabaugh: Music from A Star is Born maybe? Either Shallow, or Maybe It’s Time(Written by Jason Isbell). Also Coheed & Cambria-The Gutter or Old Flames.
3413. SuperElectro12: You should do more of Disturbed it is right in your wheelhouse guys: Powerful music with clean voice. I am pretty sure you are going to like their music. I recommend: Inside the fire, Stricken, Down with the Sickness, Prayer and lot more.
3414. SlimGoody: DO EVERLAST - WHAT IT'S LIKE!!!!
3415. Jennifer Sheppard: Please react to Kane Brown's songs
3416. J Ryan: People have been calling it the best cover ever? Massively overrated. Queensryche's cover of Scarborough Faire is better than this.
3417. Buddha Mind: Rivers of Nihil - "Where Owls Know my Name"
3418. OnlyTheRealist_100 1000000: Wrong song for disturbed try immortalised or classic down with the sickness
3419. Arne Helland: It's a 70s protest song.
3420. badbirdkc: What makes this song stand out is that it is so markedly different from their usual sound. They are normally straight up NU-Metal butt rock band that, frankly, sucks. Unless you like crap like "WHA-AH-AH-AH!"
3421. Puny Gods: Temple of the Dog: Times of Trouble.
3422. Cara Brewer: Speed Trap Town- Jason Isbell
3423. james gribble: Dire Staits - Sultans of Swing
3424. patricia b: To be fair, try Peter Hollens & Tim Foust's cover of Sound of Silence. Epic! Or their cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water.
3425. Tartuffe the Spry Wonder Dog: freakshopusa They never did Tommy, unless it's not on Youtube.
3426. Mr05chuck: Love this one. It is the best cover of a great song. This is a good one just to enjoy
3427. vegasnative83: Go VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS! (Can we ditch this whole Raiders nonsense though?) Once you got past the soul patch comment, I could see you both being pulled into the song. Your expressions changed, where someone can tell that the song is starting to inspire some deep thought about what the lyrics mean. People hearing without listening, people are physically hearing what other people say, but don't really try to hear what their soul is saying. People talking without speaking, makes me think of people that just keep talking, but there is no depth to their conversation. That lack of real depth in communication is the silence. Even music has lost the message that it once held. Yes, this is the silence that also drove people apart in Simon and Garfunkel's day in their social and political comment. Even more so than now, that silence is a roar, because nobody is truly speaking, just babbling on, and nobody is really trying to understand what different people are saying.
3428. Nerzenjäger: *_I N F L A M E S - R E R O U T E T O R E M A I N_*
3429. Robert Bruce: Listen to the Simon and Garfunkel original. It's about the falseness of society and people's inauthenticity with each other.
3430. Doug McGinnis: COME ON GUYS! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! AC/DC - LET THERE BE ROCK!
3431. Lucas Riedler: I actually met Dave Dramen at a show in FL. He was cool, he signed my shirt, I lost it the next day. :( I was at a guy's house. He was a total D.
3432. Michael L: As usual, good work, but this song is atypical for Disturbed. If you want more traditional Disturbed material, go with the rockers such as Stupify, Down with the Sickeness or Ten Thousand Fists. You could also go with their more up-tempo covers such as Shout and Land of Confusion
3433. TayR0C: Disturbed is garbage. They were at my first concert ever, and it was embarrassing. Awful awful band. The guy had spikes sticking out of his lips Do Deep Purple Rat Bat Blue. A real band
3434. Being Baylee: I love this song. And they do have the best cover. But the version from Trolls is cute too. If y’all haven’t listened to them, then you need to list to Down With The Sickness. That’s like the one song everyone knows. I’d love to see y’all do Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold.
3435. Don Olathdaron: Disturbed is a great band and Dave is a great singer. Check out Indestructible by Disturbed I think you’ll like it.
3436. Bob Marley: Student 1 next plz!
3437. sherrijean03: What I love about this song, is although it was written in a different era and its original meaning is completely different, I feel the lyrics fit for modern day issues, with peoples obsessions with technology, and no ones willingness to listen to each other! This current world definitely serves a “neon god”
3438. DEVASTATE: Cannibal corpse - zero the hero Machine head - battery
3439. Thorn Bekah: Guys remember that this tune was written in the revolutionary era of the sixties....It is defining to me as prophetic in it's own right.....Peace and thanks for reacting and diving into some Disturbed!!
3440. peter lennon: The original version was great and strong and beautiful; this version had an uncompromising immutable message, a last shot urgency, it was classically not beautiful, a revelation, a warning of desolation about it, certainly visionary not to be taken lightly....it was dirty I loved it, thanks, OLD PETER U S A
3441. Edgetheripper 22: The movie you herd the song in was probably old school, when will ferrell drowns in the pool
3442. Chazz Shook: Down With The Sickness by Disturbed!
3443. Hoon Good: Van Halen Mean Street
3444. Dustin Whitfield: Still begging for a reaction to Drunk Girl by Chris Jansen!🙏🏼
3445. Implosionstechnologie: This cover is disgusting.
3446. ruby diamond bunny rabbit: In This Moment Blood
3447. William Leonard: Nah not Disturbed's best work by any means and definitely not the best cover ever. Chris Stapleton holds that with Tennessee Whiskey
3448. stapler: Down with the sickness or prayer is the best old school nu-metal from disturbed
3449. Toopy Anne Binoo: Neon God I think is the glorification of religions maybe ? Just a thought
3450. Jason Moccaldi: The original was talking about the movie screen. Neon God is exactly that. We all sit and stair at the screen, silently.
3451. dearashad: Disturbed is just amazing. David Draiman's voice is fabulous and Dan Donegan is brilliant on guitar. This is not solid Disturbed, though.
3452. D-Pinnit 77: Don’t hate this version of the song. I think their cover of Genesis’ song Land Of Confusion was better.
3453. TheSombersky: Yeah that’s the song right there ! Or reach down !
3454. ICEMANxx22: Plies- Whacked
3455. Robert Doumeng: Lol , Howie Mandel . This version is awful . Cake - Short Skirt , Long Jacket. Matisyahu - King without a crown ( live at Stubbs)
3456. stewy37: Jennifer Williams There are a lot of elitist metal fans that hate everything except their own personal favorite genre and bands. Obviously a ton of people love them, because they have sold and continue to sell a mass amount of albums. Are they the best ever? No. They can't get a bit samey after a while, but I damn sure love them, and so do a lot of other people.
3457. U S: Steve Vai - tender surrender
3458. Darren Emerson: Cochise
3459. Mark M: Soilwork - Father and Son Watching the World go Down or Nerve!
3460. Davide Mazzucchi: check out Nevermore cover of the sound of silence, totally different but absolutely beautiful as well!
3461. Haas _Delgato: Hero of war - rise against Disturbed the sound of silence
3462. Natasha Rainey: I fell in love with this song when I heard it in the movie The Graduate. I was stoked when this cover came out.
3463. Fuarian: +The Heartless Hero 2077 It was written in 1964 but it can probably be attributed to so many things. Nice interpretation.
3464. shane talbot: listen bro no good having a go at David drayman and his band they just sang it in there version how they interpreted it and by golly they made the best version ever Simon and Garfunkel wrote it and disturbed sang it the best that's MUSIC TO MY EARS
3465. Tiffany Glaspie: Omgosh you’re killing me with this! First video I’ve watch of y’alls and at every building moment right before the kill that really hits the soul you PAUSED IT! Lol.......could tell the one in the hat loved it though......🖤🖤🤘🏼
3466. illegal kiwi: Are there really any people that like this band?
3467. Godsban3: Volbear is so smooth even if I rarely know what he’s saying
3468. Travis Rose: I didn't know I wanted this reaction until now.
3469. Jon Roberts: Sick Of It All - Just Look Around
3470. metal warrior: Heir Apparent "The Sound Of Silence" cover, WAY BETTER than Disturbed!!
3471. Cornan1980: I think it's hilarious this was highly requested. I think you guys may have been trolled. In circles I'm in, this is considered a famously terrible cover. I actually liked Disturbed's cover of "Shout" by Tears for Fears, but this song is fantastically bad.
3472. Mark Oliveira: Have you guys ever reacted to Deep Purple? Highway Star?
3473. wayward faunus: @Collin Beal to say this is a bad cover is too much. Over the top? Yeeeeaaah, I can see where you're coming from, but that's just the way the band is. Its the best covers I've heard, the original is amazing, considering it's actual topic. (Viet. War, segregation, etc.) Disturbed gave it a more "harsh" tone. With today's attitude, and tensions. And the original still reflects today! Sending innocent people to fight a war that isn't ours, citizens being ran over by its own government. Amazing song. Great cover. Forever a awe inspiring message. Thank you S&G
3474. Robert Bryan: I'm impressed with your breakdown. Especially with the comment about it not necessarily being better than the original. The original is indeed subtle, and has an eerie quality. The cover is a power anthem, something completely different than what Paul Simon originally intended. He was happy however to give his blessing to Disturbed in covering it. As a side note, the songs of Simon and Garfunkel are pure genius, american poetry.
3475. Laura Daignault: His live version sounds the same... his voice is incredible! Love this song and Disturbed
3476. Jeremy LeBlanc: awesome video, i never saw it that way of a divide, so thanks for another perspective. a great song you guys should react to is bullet for my valentine's "Hearts burst into fire". its such a good song.
3477. William Roop: IMHO I think that the neon god reference goes much deeper that the "electronics" of the time. Mankind has always looked to something biggerfor answers and leadership. They have ALSO attempted to use religion as a tool to enforce their views and beliefs on others. Throughout history, biblical and otherwise, there have been people who have moved to the leadership roles in society and people following them stopped thinking for themselves to follow blindly the influence of a powerful leader, even to their own undoing. While neon god WAS Simon & Garfunkel's reference from the time they lived, it also reaches back to people following whatever is flashy and distracting. The silence in the song refers not only to their lack of voice, but lack of critical thinking and holding themselves and their leaders accountable. In the Bible, God commands that no one worship false idols; THOSE are the neon gods.
3478. Richard H: IWrestledABearOnce-"Boat Paddle"
3479. sean Hudson: Every time i hear this song I shed a tear, I dunno what it is. It speaks to me.
3480. Eliana R. Casella: I love this song guys. Well.. time for request, "ill niño - Unreal". That's it, take care!
3481. Thorstenator: Seconded. Muse . Knights of Cydonia. And watch the video, its ridiculous.
3482. KLASS podcast: seriously fuk thia cover do the origional.
3483. Latinos unidos: Magic man by heart. Must hear the best.
3484. Jomari Santos: J.i.d working outtt please 🔥🔥🔥
3485. Tyler Bengel: Gotta give these guys another chance down with the sickness or stricken
3486. Dan Wallace: How about a reverse of this video. Instead of a cover of a famous song, do a reaction of a song made more famous by someone else covering it. Dolly Parton's I will always love you (Covered by Whitney Houston)
3487. Ronnie Mo: I’d like to see you guys do Aldo Nova’s Fantasy 🙏
3488. hmw kamikaze: If they don’t stop the video periodically, I think every 50 seconds or something like that, they risk copyright infringement.
3489. allison winchester: I really want to see you guys react to Panic! At the disco - Pray for the Wicked (Saturday night) (Or a 3 parter where you watch all 3 videos in that trilogy)
3490. K JAM: I know. "Disturbed does another great cover of a classic rock song..."
3491. Derek Albanese: As a huge Disturbed fan I have a few things to say about this song: Honestly, I would not consider this the best cover ever.. I would rank covers based on how well they improve on the original, but this cover is like a new song that accidentally got the same exact lyrics. Disturbed takes a dark and powerful tone versus S&G’s eerie and even satirically happy tone. For best covers, I would say something like: Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put a Spell On You (original by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, for those who may not know) I also don’t think this is a good song for a reaction video as “build-up to big finish” songs tend to be. I would like them to do more Distubed because I think they would like their hype and powerful style. Some suggestions: Stricken Guarded Indestructible Criminal
3492. Petr Václavek: Disturbed - Down With The Sickness
3493. Brandi Summers: Hozier take me to church
3494. Dean Cerny: This version is way better than the original. There is way more feeling and pain in this version. Disturbed killed it. Its nothing like the Simon and Garfunkel Kumbaya version
3495. Timed Revolver: From what I understand, y'all hit what Simon and Garfunkel intended with the original. So, props for that.
3496. Bene: Than there must be "Black Ron"
3497. David Harris: Do a reaction to this cover the young girls voice is amazinghttps://youtu.be/IKOP3Bz7Jyc
3498. Ida Roama: Check out Disturbed's Indestructible
3499. Dan Masters: Year of Second Chance! Animals of Leaders - Physical Education
3500. Mr. Rafe: React to Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changing, am i suggesting this 'cause of Watchmen? Of Course.
3501. Dan Newton: As a big fan of both artists, gotta say this is missing the best of the original artist [the harmonies] and the best of the covering artist [the band]. Keen for a Draiman & Garfunkle metal version of The Boxer.
3502. Duje Kesić: Do the Nevermore and their cover of this song,they gave to it a proper treatment! And you also liked Nevermore so...
3503. Benjamin Hughes: Powerwolf plz
3504. GuitarsNStrings 4Things: Arch Enemy- My Apocalypse
3505. Nathan Clarke: This cover is amazing. It brings a very dark realness to it! Basically they are 2 different songs and it's amazing! Also David Draiman is a classically trained singer though if you listen to his other stuff It comes out only slightly!
3506. PIPER DOUG: George defo got what Disturbed were doing here, and no not all bald guys look alike. rme.
3507. driver4music: Lost in Vegas you both looked lost in the song towards the end. Was captivating to watch.
3508. sacredomens: +Dennis Cooke it was a Beyonce song
3509. Drum Guy: My favorite disturbed song is the game. Awesome song! Check it out!
3510. Kaitlin LeVasseur: Down With The Sickness or Stricken would be a better intro to Disturbed 👌🏻
3511. Fresh Nips: That Howie Mandel comment had me rolling xD
3512. cap03: Can you guys do Royal Blood - Figure it Out
3513. lucian Alexander: 💔💔💔
3514. necromorph88: My recommendation for the next song you fellas do is Sabaton : The Price Of A Mile or Cliffs Of Gallipoli
3515. Seth Gecko: Tool- Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned Free thinkers!!!
3516. A Henley: They performed this live on Conan's show. It was really good
3517. Matt's Models Customs: The stopping sucks but they have to stop the video every so often otherwise the video will get flagged by YouTube for copyright infringement. They say this several times in other videos.
3518. Raymond Cardella: Pixies- Where is my mind
3519. Fredy Flores: Very overrated cover. Smh. And I like Disturbed... I recommend Deafheaven - Honeycomb Kamelot - Karma
3520. Robert Reichle: Greatest cover ever? No, just the trendy one right now. It's cool though.
3521. Matthew Burridge: Hey, Lost in Vegas...the Neon God is Vegas - a place Simon and Garfunkel saw as the bastion of sins against human companionship. lol
3522. Punky Skunk: GOOD cover. NOT the greatest cover ever. The original is a classic. To make a great cover it needs to be better than the original and become a classic in it's own right. i.e. Joan Jett's - I Love Rock 'n Roll. (Originally an Arrows song) It must be iconic to the artist. Disturbed has a lot of good songs. This one doesn't make or break the band.
3523. tina solesbee: Montrose
3524. Kevin Heckeler: You sayin' all middle aged white boys look alike? :p
3525. goodride2004: Billie Jean is way better
3526. Brandon Tagle: You guys gotta check out Bad wolves version of Zombie
3527. Jake Fry: He does look like Howie thank you! I've been saying that for years lol
3528. William Goubeaux: Default wasting my time please
3529. Drop D: Do more Disturbed! The Night is my favorite song by them.
3530. Jordan Thompson: He does look like Howie Mandel.
3531. edwoll77: I think you guys had a really good perspective on what the lyrics of the song are trying to convey.
3532. Kevin Baijens: The greatest cover ever is Blind Guardian's version of The Chordettes' Mr. Sandman. Obviously. ;)
3533. DonteKeys: Disturbed does a really good job on all of their covers. This one bothers me a little bit because there's so much autotune on his voice, but I still like it.
3534. TexanGrunt: Five Finger Death Punch - Gone Away
3535. Steve Patterson: I think you did a great job of unpacking the meaning of the song as you heard. Also, the occasional humor was great. In all, great job guys, giving you a like.
3536. MrTrackday101: Maybe see some slipnot "The Devil in I". Think y'all would like it.
3537. Cliedo Cladidahopper: review a country singr who is black so many songs people do not know who they are
3538. 253MikeSouth: Sounds depressing lol
3539. Eddie Carraro: Ryan and George- Amazing insights on interpreting the lyrics! The lyrics were eerily prophetic in the original recording and more relevant now then ever in the Disturbed version. About a year ago, I stumbled across a modern yet retro animated interpretation called "The Sound of Silence - slaves of technology" performed by an artist that goes by the name Allison. This version graphically shows exactly what you described and evokes some raw human emotion! Here it is https://youtu.be/7apLcaSvZlw . Enjoy and thanks for all the great Reactions! Love your channel and all the free thinkers listening to it
3540. Aaron A Aaronson: Do some more Disturbed, this song is very untypical of their music.
3541. Skilgannon the Damned: It's funny how different folks hear the same song and have two totally different take aways from it. For example, my self personally, I had never heard of this song by S&G before hearing this cover and seeing this video first. I was blown away, goosebumps, I still get goosebumps when I hear this cover. But after hearing it the first time I wanted to go back and listen to the original by S&G and I thought it was Boring As Hell! I didn't even get all the way thru it and still haven't to this day Cuz to me this version blows S&G original version out of the water hahaha! Isn't that funny how people hear things differently? :D
3542. Sindelism Sucks: Disturbed definitely earned their time and place, but I think they should have stayed there/then. They've not aged well, they've fallen victim to meme culture and recieved the "Nickelback treatment" long ago. Just my opinion, crucify me at will.
3543. MrFylledal: Intronaut - Killing birds with stones
3544. justaphasebizarre: Just discovered you guys today! Cover Indifference and I am still here by Pearl Jam!!!
3545. ErizotDread: I really thought it was a misstep to not have the harmony vocals on this one, since I think that was the best part of the original. I appreciate they tried to do something different and make it their own, but I'm not a fan of this one.
3546. James Williams: Trump is the neon orange god we just made. I know a woman who just got raped by her husband this morning. He's a big Trump supporter. Look me in the eye and tell me the national news this week didn't feed into that happening.
3547. Dave Bentley: +Kevin Jones No that would be insane. I was being sarcastic. I do love life and cherish each day.
3548. Brandon Watkins: You should react to more disturbed songs
3549. taup184: Please react Nightwish! It's Symphonic Metal; a sub-genre you haven't heard anything from yet! You are truly missing out Ryan and George! Most people request Ghost Love Score from their Wacken concert, but honestly you could pick literally anything from Wacken 2013. It's all gold. They are one of those rare bands in which the studio, while still very good, is not the best version of the band.
3550. Testiclopse: Disturbed are only good at cover songs. Please DO NOT waste reacts on this band. Thanks in advance from a long time subscriber.
3551. Rick Bradley: Bad Company "Bad Company" vs Five Finger Death Punch " Bad Company"
3552. Havok91: Live version is 100x better
3553. Ashy Larry: Thorns of Crimson Death - Dissection
3554. iblamegravity1: +TOAOM123 Haha, right! I always thought that of this saying.
3555. Janet Young: Censorship is silencing.
3556. Ralph Cahill: It's probably best to get a baseline for the band as this song is not really representative of their greater body of work. You should probably do a review/reaction of "Stupify" or "Down With the Sickness" to get a feel for their "normal" sound.
3557. eric brown: Simon and Garfunkel is so much better than this cover. I don't get the love
3558. Bills World Of Metal: Always wishing Ryan and George would do some NEW Megadeth from the 2016 album dystopia!! The title track DYSTOPIA won them their first Grammy guys🔥 worth a reaction for sure.
3559. Michael Motter: Incredible vocals, great song! Absolutely beautiful cover, but Johnny Cash cover of hurt is still the BEST cover!
3560. The Hoop: Smoked crack before this post
3561. steven rusnak: Disturbed-Down With The Sickness....please its fantastic
3562. the_nikster: omg! i can't believe you haven't listened to disturbed yet! please do a reaction to "stricken" and/or "ten thousand fists".
3563. Chris Costas: This is a good cover, however Bad Wolves cover of Zombie is the best cover of all time (in my opinion).
3564. Erin J: So I know that this is an awesome song, but I feel like all these reaction videos from people who have never listened to any Disturbed music before... it's hard for them to judge why it took everyone by surprise, because it's so different from the hits that Disturbed has otherwise. Plus I think it'd just be great to see some reaction videos for other Disturbed songs.
3565. denny plaza: dude you have to react to "A reason to fight" from Disturbed
3566. KRYS WELLS: choose another disturbed song any are good
3567. kennyonthecobz: These guys don't know how to appreciate music. What a shame. Much more emotional when u just stop and listen. Give your thoughts at the end.
3568. Grief Hammer: I've never been a huge fan of Disturbed, but the vocalist is quite talented and they have a knack for doing great covers. Their version of Genesis' "Land of Confusion" is also really enjoyable.
3569. Malinda Hasten: It's speaking about before we reach Heaven. We speak to each other but not by verbal words. :-) I love you guys!
3570. Tim Behen: they were talking about today , the crazy libs stopping free speech
3571. transmit13: Your defending Disturbed. lol @ you. Shut up, clean the wax out of your busted ass ears, learn how to listen and discover better music. By the way. It all checks out. Google the stats on LASTFM and find out what Disturbed fan's listened to. On page two, of Disturbed's "similar artists" you will find a band you probably have in your collection of compact discs with no cover/cases, and that band is Nickelback. Told you they're one in the same. Generic music, for generic people. Same fan base. But whatever dude. Sounds like you're already down with the sickness. Sorry about that. Hope your hearing gets better.
3572. filippolo7: Yes i see the correlation
3573. Tartuffe the Spry Wonder Dog: Patreon subscribers get early access.
3574. country Cox: This song was wrote after John F Kennedy got assassinated
3575. James Omodeo: You nailed it! When the song was written and it’s written as to what was going on during those times and it still exist today. There was a division and always has been and that’s what this song is about. I love this review and I’ve watched many and you came across would actually receiving this message. Great job guys
3576. La legende 1984: exodus bonded by blood
3577. Abel Mena: these fellas r awesome,as well as the music
3578. Daniel: Yes it is. Good call
3579. Aaron Todd: Disturbed has done a few great covers. Land of confusion is amazing
3580. Lobo Prieto: Can you guys PLEASE REACT to Vo-Perfect Mixture! You guys WILL LIKE that dude! #Barz #LYRICISM
3581. Henrik: Alright guys, let's see you react to Alice In Chains - Would? next!
3582. Rokk O the Krinns: The singer is such a pretentious asshole. I hate this shit. Anyways, I love your channel. Keep doing what you do.
3583. Johan Schilt: Wrong version !!!!, you have to do the live version
3584. Jessica Noguera: Song played in the movie The Watchman
3585. Espen Totland: Vi Seconds Vs Passionate MC ! It's fucking cool they are rap battling in a boxingring with comentator and judges. teambackpack. really enertaining would love your reaction to it and decide who won. very close one
3586. Maverick: The whole reason to react to this song is to listen to the amazing and controlled voice of David Draiman. The analysis of the song lyrics is great. But put those thoughts aside and listen to this again (And again and again. lol). Listen to what he does with his voice. It is truly amazing.
3587. efrain iniguez: white zombie - more human than human
3588. Willows Yeah: Just like Shinedown’s “Simple Man” cover....AWESOME
3589. Shayn Patrick: Try the cover by "The "Kransky Sisters" for another take on hidden meaning guys!
3590. Joey Huk: Do Elvis Presley suspicious minds or poison by Alice Cooper!
3591. The Gabe Watkins: Simon & Garfunkel-The Boxer
3592. James Lamb: Awwwww yeah!
3593. Wickerrman: Hey guys, great video. Love this song and interesting to hear your thoughts on it! Some thoughts on songs to recommend: League of Legends is currently holding its annual world tournament. One of the biggest eSports around and they have produced some great music for the tournament since 2014 (including big bands like Imagine Dragons). I would love to hear you do a few videos on the LoL World's songs!
3594. Zandman26: My opinion about this version is that it is better, just because I feel the words more in this version. However I would like to suggest Versailles - Remember forever, this band is really talented but sadly get very little play in the western world.
3595. James Wright: The “original” disturbed sound? That’s off their 3rd album 😂
3596. Aries Dragon: Simon and Garfunkel version-Warning of the coming social silencing Disturbed version-The warning was not heeded.
3597. Andi Randolph: Love Gary Jules' Mad World.
3598. Anessa Lyn: he is a trained opera singer... it is. how many timez have sat down to movie or dinner and people are texting etc and not talking to one anotber
3599. Carl Harrison: Live on Conan version is 1000 times better imo
3600. Barb Walk: Don't forget this was originally recorded in the early 60's. I thought that this was fabulous. The best version I have ever heard.
3601. Geno Breaker: You have to just stop, and listen quietly to get the full effect of the song. When you stop and speak, or over think it, you miss it. Just listen. Feel it, don't think about it.
3602. Pete Galgano: Totally agree. I recommended Nessun Dorma when they previously reviewed Manowar.
3603. Jim Jones: Do Acid Bath
3604. Pinball Wizard: Max Contreras everything about third eye is great 😂
3605. Marcus Lopez: Bout time lol do Bad Wolves - Zombie ...its the best cover of the cranberries zombie
3606. dirtygirl10477: Not sure if anyone mentioned, it's not a soul patch. Those are piercings.
3607. Joe Brown: Clutch, please.
3608. April Elliott: I think this song resonates so well with me just learning on the bible. I know it has some other meaning with the original creators, but basically what I got out of it was God was trying to teach people but they all just created their own Gods and never listened to the truth. This song hits me in my core.
3609. GRY L: Thanks 😃👍 please react to Madison Ryann Ward cheating on me
3610. Xenophon: More Disturbed please. Try Down with The Sickness, their most popular song. Totally different vibe from Sound of silence.
3611. Karin Gordon: If you really want to see some power and beauty added to Disturbed's version of this incredible song, google Nyles DiMarco dancing to this song . Completely deaf. Absolutely stunning.
3612. dahanks1: The guy out front should have realized that people would be watching his ugly, nailed face. What a freak. All this on top of the fact that he cannot sing. The louder he got, the worse his voice got. What a freak.
3613. Clevername: it's about us....
3614. RapidDecisions: you listened to the wrong version. You should have listened to Conan version.
3615. Jordan Larson: Love this cover. To switch it up if you want to hit the country genre try out Dixieland Delight by Alabama
3616. Master Vol: I'm not a big fan of this cover. But this song is one of the greatest ever written, hands down. And I absolutely love the original. It sounds decades ahead of it's time.
3617. hisnamewasSoul: I love Disturbed. David has such an amazing voice
3618. majmunko23: or Steve Vai - Bad Horsie
3619. Desaree Bourdon: It was actually about the bomb dropped in Japan .. Hiroshima... After the Pearl Harbor bombing. That's when the US joined in on World War II .. The bomb the U.S dropped on Hiroshima was named The Little Boy... It was an atomic bomb... The first time an atomic bomb was ever used in warfare. And the light (and radiation) was so bright that there were actually x-rays sadows of people that were standing when the bomb went off... Hence the neon light reference .. no one had ever seen such a thing .. people bowed and prayed after that bombing ... 😟
3620. Nicholas Koehler: Any fans of Dark Souls might like this parody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScwYDdxggYg
3621. Sporty Taco: I've always loathed this version and will continue to do so, but I've always found their style to be unoriginal and an attempt to copy other artists. One of the few bands that I will immediately change the station for. I don't even want it playing in the background.
3622. GamerOfTag: With Disturbed, you should check out Stupify or Remember. Those are my favorite songs from them. I would say Remember would cover what they do as a band the best. It's still heavy, but melodic in the right places. Nice groove you can get into
3623. Kevin Blincie: Disturbed did a good cover but you should look to doing more from than not just this song. Do more avenged sevenfold
3624. BulheddEd: This would actually have been a good cover if Dave Draiman didn't sound like Scott Stapp with marbles in his mouth. Not a good cover for me. If you want a great cover check out Jimi Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower originally by Bob Dylan.
3625. Chris Read: I liked 'Prey' or 'Prayer' and bought the album ... no surprise to me that the first Disturbed song you review is a cover ... this is a band of small talent ... a band whose best stuff is because of the production rather than the songs ... if you like them fair play, but you just havent heard enough good music ... still it has prepared you for metal as a whole and that can never be a bad thing ... big love to you all x
3626. Mainor Murillo: I am lost, for me to hear you guys said that you have to Google "Simon & Garfunkel " or " the "sound of silence as a song" ,,, it will be like any white guy saying that they have to Google " Chuck Barry" or "Sammy Davis Jr "" there are some songs or artist for that matter that are - General Domain knowledge.
3627. Jason Allen: Nothing against this version, but there is no way that this remake is better than the original, the voice is too grating and overly forced. If you want to hear a better remake of a song, listen to Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, then listen to Jimi Hendrix's version.
3628. Michael Streets: Could be technology. But it could actually be God as there are thousands of Gods in human history. Therefore it is more likely that they are all man made than you just happen to believe in the one that's real. Just saying
3629. Espen Totland: this one is just beautiful on so many levels
3630. El Presidente: Sweating bullets seriously y’all will love it!
3631. tyler anderson: People are hearing without listening the world is blind bro
3632. Edwin Aguirre: Disturbed down with the sickness or stricken
3633. E Kramer2: Hey it's never pointless. Just have to spend more time listening!
3634. Raoul Duke: Godsmack- Whatever (that’s the name of the song)
3635. EZtutorials Español: Periphery - Erased Ft: John Petrucci
3636. Jake Trewartha: First off, huge fan! Been watching for a long time. I really really really prefer when you guys react to songs and not music videos. Totally different experience. In my opinion most music videos take away from the music. And it often becomes about what you expect a person to sound like or trying to find meaning in stuff that's not important to the song. Anywho maybe it's just me. Keep reacting!
3637. Carl Butcher: this is gonna geta shit ton of views
3638. Gale Aumiller: Message from God Mans gods, anything clinging to earthly things. Brings silence being without God and his grace Lost is a good way of putting it
3639. Eric Laube: Awesome review, but it’s a little weird how you interpret the lyrics as if he wrote them...
3640. Soviet Gaming/DecepticonBlackout: For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica
3641. Paulo Figueiredo: Katatonia, Old Heart Falls
3642. Chris Bowman: God DAMN Disturbed rocks, you should check out some of their songs! This is a fantastic cover, but there's a live version that just gives me chills!
3643. Jonathan Gawke: Rollins band: liar
3644. Ron Foster: If you want to check out a Disturbed original, they have some great songs, but one of me favs is "The Light". It's also very poignant and meaningful.
3645. Michael Whitted: Or Voices
3646. lupe rodriguez: Disturbed has a thing about using "music as a weapon" at least the old stuff did, new Disturbed is more like mildly deranged
3647. Joseph Bobenrieth III: Of all song off of this album; The Vengeful One should've been top on list. Not this. Do this last.
3648. Bryant Helt: Ive always thought he looks like the deal or no deal dude lmao
3649. Cody Daniels: Dave had y’all shook. Had to pause to make a look a like reference? That’s when you know you shook em’
3650. TheCrusherDrago: Guys Tool Schism pleaseee
3651. Angela Stumbaugh: No, y'all are right on the mark on everything. Y'all got it. If yall loved this cover, these guys did 2 more covers that are just as visceral as this cover. They ate shout 2000 and land of confusion. Shout 2000 is a cover of the 1980's band tears for fears and lamd of confusion is a cover of the band named genisis. Both covers done by disturbed are in my opinion really epic.
3652. TheGearsofwar2010: C'mon guys!! Skid Row - Wasted Time Iced Earth - Dracula Alice in Chains - Would
3653. BnM: Please react to Metallica - Sanitarium Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner
3654. NiceguyEddie17: I haven't even watched your review. This song is incredible!
3655. Joao Cabrita: hoping for pantera cemetary gates.
3656. Thomas Dipper: Review Aussie hip hop again!!! Hilltop Hoods - The Hard Road
3657. The Lavian: Downvoted for the fool that couldn't keep his hand off the fucking mouse.
3658. Josh Stripland: Theres a few covers I think are close together. This one. Ffdp did a blue on black cover and bad company. And bad wolves zombie cover is amazing. And all that remains did a metal cover of a country song the thunder rolls
3659. TeeBest: Architects!!
3660. Simeon Dobrev: Jetski +1
3661. hibrydo1990: Diamond Head- Am I Evil
3662. marine6680: +Rob Erickson LoL.. it's not outgrowing angry music... It's that particular type of angry. Like Staind back in the day... Their music appalled to the teen and early adulthood angst, but so so much when you reach the late 20s. Doesn't mean you hate them after you grow older, they are just less relevant.
3663. Michael Kapty: Queens of the Stone Age - Misfit Love
3664. Randy Garrett: +SoapyPingu obviously you dont know what you are talking about. Anyone can cover a song and put there own spin on it. David could never write anything like this. This song is the best "disturbed" song because its not a disturbed song.
3665. J T: BREAKING BENJAMIN - RED COLD RIVER!!!!
3666. Troll: alice in chains man in the box live at the moore?
3667. pennylane36: Technology didn't really exist back in 1964 so I don't think that's what they meant as far as neon
3668. Allura Silverleaf: I agree with your interpretation. Also, I think that people talk without actually communicating and people hearing but not caring. They are too involved with "the neon gods" of technology.
3669. Evident Nonownership: Silence , undeniable,in which all appears,no song,no speach,no listening/effort of thought ,can ever move us from, or return us to what is,we pray to the neon God we made,while even the words of the prophets are only whispers in the silence.Judging on the comments,maybe I heard the song differently,but wow man,10000 people maybe more,coming together without words.
3670. Not Rick Sanchez: inside the fire
3671. Callum Saunders: Don’t like the constant abuse of his look instead of focusing on his beautiful performance!
3672. MATTHEW MITCHELL: LOVE THAT.COVER BY DISTURBED NOW YA SHOULD LISTEN TO ONE OF THEIR ORIGINALS SO YOU CAN SEE THE CONTRAST I THINK YOU WILL B PLEASANTLY.SURPRISED .
3673. Mário: This is much better live
3674. Don'ttreadonme: Johnny Cash - The Wanderer
3675. Charlie Smith: You guys are in the house. Its art. But you have the basics of it. Now............lol............you get to dive in to DISTURBED!!! Oh this is gonna be fun. WAH HA HA HA HA!!!!! You have heard at lest THAT before.
3676. christian clark: 2.5 min in im dying lololol
3677. Renée Tyler: I've always thought he looks just like Howie Mandel!
3678. Simondini Hernan: Rata Blanca - La Leyenda Del Hada Y El Mago REACTION, c mon dudes,, listen that song,, the guitar solo is the best everrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3679. Björn Eriksson: It is imo overrated, the cover added very little to the original. More like karaoke. But absolutely good, just maybe it is good because of the source material
3680. goldtoaster1512: When he says 10,000 people it's a reference to one of Disturbed's older songs called ten thousand fists.
3681. adrian newman: ffs, get John Farnham on, Help beatles cover.
3682. Ghostief: Igorrr - ieuD Wooooo, boy And Boris - Vanilla
3683. Vetted Warrior: The song disturbed's version is people not remembering the past and we are following the same dark path as before that will lead to death (Holocaust) and destruction (Nuclear war)
3684. Greg Pasquier: Integrity- 'String Up My Teeth'
3685. Mood Hot: disturbed make this song looks like it comes from the viking
3686. Natasza Frallicciardi: Gentlemen, may I suggest, JUICE, by , Steve Vai? I think you will like it.
3687. Heavy Critic: What's amazing is that David Draiman does those transitions exactly as effortlessly live as he does in the studio version - that's a lot harder than he makes it look. The "metal grittiness" of his voice at the higher register, isn't something he *_has_* to do due to limited range, like a lot of other singers. It's something he *_chooses_* to do, to give the song more power. He's got an awesome voice.
3688. John Bachmann: Not a huge Disturbed fan but this song is fantastic
3689. D. Ryan: HED PE —RENEGADE
3690. Sam Bentham: It's almost like things are a matter of opinion and not objective in any way
3691. Willows Yeah: Man, great cover...but Shinedown’s “Simple Man”.... FIRE!!!
3692. Jason: How long has this channel been deleting comments for?
3693. Tanner_N: You've done this song and no one seems to be asking for disturbed- " down with the sickness"
3694. BBEDrummerAK: If by "best", you mean best butchering of a song, then sure! 😂😂
3695. M W: There are so many Disturbed haters out there, but they really made this song their own. Anyway guys, try Faith No More - Zombie Eaters next...
3696. JD Williams: Jealous Man or Homesick by The Marcus King Band
3697. Pete Smith: This song is just terrible. Some over dramatic wannabe bullshit but biches love this song so got to suffer this trough to get laid. Stop over analyzing this turd.
3698. billdude1313: Yes, all us white guys look alike.
3699. tambor76: Van Halen - Mean Street
3700. katwoman873: First, I'd like to say I'm so impressed with your channel! That you listen to, appreciate, analyze, and interpret the music that you're hearing is a joy to watch. I've only just discovered your channel within the past 3 weeks, and I'm pleased to have done so. I've been a Disturbed fan for a while, and I'm glad that you've now done a video about a song of theirs, and I have a few suggestions that I think you might appreciate and enjoy listening to, which I'll link to here. Before I do so, I'd like to say thank you for doing what you're doing here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MCQNfkjToY Midlife Crisis cover, I believe you discussed the original version by Faith No More https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmeOmCyG7PY Criminal; this song as some salty lyrics, but is aggressive and very catchy! The riffs throughout are just raw! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxujAPhxlo0 Inside the Fire; a very serious song dealing with the subject of suicide. Incredible use of a horrible personal experience on the part of the singer. Hope you enjoy, and thanks again!
3701. Don Davi: ok, To appreciate this better- You have to also hear some of Disturbs other songs to appreciate the complete change up and range that this band and the singer has. Down with the Sickness will e a huge abot face from this one, then go to another cover they did with Land of Confusion for middle ground.
3702. doug young: The song is about music. You can’t have music without instruments and without written songs. One is nothing without the other.
3703. paolo paolo: stop stop stop stop stop .....
3704. Koala Voilà: NUEROSIS - THE DOORWAY PLEAAAASSEEEE
3705. Ryan McCumber: Check out "Clarity" by Protest The Hero
3706. Seofthwa: You should do John Denver.
3707. Megadeth675: Cant stand this song
3708. Tim Hudson: Do a reaction to chimiara split!!!!! Awesome song
3709. Xavier Vega: 10,000 Fists.
3710. Jason X: Guys, please do some original disturbed song...such as stricken, overburdened, ten thousand fists, prayer, remember, indestructible, asylum, I could go on and on
3711. Nasir Sharaf: Please react to Death Grips!!!
3712. Marco Debart: The original is way better
3713. Justin Barabas: You gotta listen to one of their original songs, they have way better songs than this.
3714. Steven Maxey: I think Simon and Garfunkel were writing about the increasing prevalence of television in their age of technology. In their perspective television took far more than it gave back
3715. Bobby Dillashaw: Maybe it’s my age, and growing up with Simon and Garfunkel, but I like Simon and Garfunkel’s’ version much better
3716. booty call911: I love distrubed music, the vocalist is absolutely amazing. That whole album is insane
3717. _utsavnayak_: disturbed- down with the sickness
3718. RavenSteal: Click so fast! I love this song though it doesn't represent Disturbed's other work at all. You've probably heard Down with the sickness. Reactions to "Indestructible" or "Inside the Fire" would be amazing!!
3719. J.t. Orem: Yessss
3720. Rich Campbell: You pretty much nailed the meaning, lack of communication in society. This isn't typical Disturbed, although i'm not a fan because most of thier songs sound exactly the same, "Down with the sickness" is probably the best known and most popular.
3721. Temporary Rare: Audioslave - I Am the Highway/Like a Stone, should do both in a single video... a reach I know. RIP to one of the greatest singers/frontmen of all time... still haunts me.
3722. piet klas: PLEASE DO VUUR DAYS GO BY
3723. James Hartwell: Yes. He does look like howie now that you mention it. Lol
3724. April Ray Alabama Tall Chic: YES!!!
3725. Lori Shoemaker: With this song listen to it again , close your eyes in a dark room and just let his voice take you to Heaven, and give your soul a treat, he has the voice of Angel. Strong and powerful ,
3726. maxmc45: "wake up" was their masterpiece
3727. Dodomando: Pink Floyd - the Great gig in the sky
3728. IamBigNizz: This song is tight if u like transitions
3729. Drew Mitchem: I like the original better
3730. Whytheguy 37: The Contortionist - Language parts 1&2 please.
3731. Mickael Drouet: the Live version with Myles Kennedy is unreal! The harmonies are off the charts
3732. Paul Thomas: Beautiful song by Simon and Garfunkel, absolutely horrible cover by Disturbed! They ruined this song! I hope I never hear this crap version ever again!!
3733. David K: Great reaction you guys have to the video...
3734. David Boucher: Oh and do a reaction to GWAR SLAUGHTERAMA!
3735. boss bully boy: Check out the live version, definately better live
3736. Spookychris01: Im pretty sure Art Garfunkel said of this cover that, ' it was far better than ours'. Dave Draiman is just awesome.
3737. Ethan Abernathy: Zztop 25 lighters is a cover of lil keke 25 lighters. They even used part of the first verse.
3738. Joseph Wolf: Bruh react to logics new album please!
3739. Ty Sroufe: Saw them perform this live @ Pain in the Grass '16, WITH Myles Kennedy... AMAZING!!!!!!!! UNREAL
3740. Heather Nelson: What I think of when the song refers to a neon God is that it’s talking about how if you think of a neon sign, it is often bright, gaudy, and kind of tacky for lack of a better word, and how is worshiping something that exists on that level as opposed to what an actual God would be like or would look like kind of refers to how we can worship things that are fleeting or empty. Settling for something so frail and powerless and thus missing the point of life. I think it is definitely open to individual interpretation.
3741. greg d: Nope nope nope........a couple of minutes in and I have to go to a reaction where the vibe isn't COMPLETELY DESTROYED by constantly pausing the song. Sorry fellas.
3742. Gale Aumiller: Its a vision from heaven
3743. Jerred Boshears: The game
3744. spencer hays: Crescendo.
3745. Geneva Smith: You guys are on point! 'Neon Gods they made" technology. 'People talking without speaking', everyone being right next to each other and are texting instead of having an actual conversation with the person next to you or in front of you. You guys got it! Words in this song very powerful...if you really listen to them. 😉 Thank you again!
3746. Carissa Marple: Definitely check out some more Disturbed.
3747. Timothy Connolly: Watch the video of them on Conan doing this live, it’s absolutely incredible how draimans vocals are so good
3748. E Kramer2: That also explains why it goes from Simon and Garfunkle with tragic sadness, to Disturbed with absolute rage. They sang a lament. This guy sings as if it's being ripped out of his own guts a bit at a time.
3749. Trent Owens: Hey guys, can't get enough of your channel. It's one of a handful that I have taken the laughably easy step and subscribed to. I just cant be bothered with most channels but your honesty and openness to anything new is respectable and something to be supported. All that said, as a guy that grew up as a metalhead and became a dirty hippy after living in the mountains for years I would love to here you react to some Grateful Dead or some other jam band not called Phish. Something classic but not popular like Estimated Prophet or from my current favorite band " The String Cheese Incident" (song: Texas or Little Feet). If you finally decide to wonder into these territories i would suggest a live song as these bands always sound better on stage than they do in the studio. I've also fallen in love with funk. If 6th grade me only knew playing a trumpet could be so badd ass. Bands like Lettuce (Do It Like You Do) or The Motet (Nemesis) are a bit more obscure outside certain circles and are fucking awesome. Again live performances are always better than studio tracks for these guys.
3750. Adam Denison: This is a poor introduction to Disturbed if you’ve never heard of them. Nothing against this song but it doesn’t represent the originality of their music at all. Go listen to “stricken” or “another way to die.”
3751. Devil Baby: The song is about people of years ago want to sing but they didn't have the technology that we have.
3752. Amy King: Yessss!! If not, A Perfect Circle "Choke." Or literally any APC, Puscifer or TOOL ... Because you can't go wrong with Maynard. Ever.
3753. Mike Calvert: +Zigur Eru I kinda gave up on requests, after the choices of other band material, was poor...glaringly obvious choices ignored in favour of the obscure... So I figured, no chance in hell Tesseract will see the light if day, never mind this 15 epic minutes of mastery! Cmon boys!!! Make it so!! And whilst we're at it, if you're gona revisit Slayer, do South of Heaven...if you're gona revisit Megadeth, do Good Mourning/Black Friday...+ if you're gona revisit Metallica ffs do Blackened!!! ✌️🏼😁🤘🏼
3754. Rhys Kerr: Big fan of Disturbed here, especially this song! Really like that no matter what you always try and break down the possible themes/symbolism that a song brings. You guys understand it’s more than instruments and words. As a request, you HAVE to react to J.I.D freestyle on Funk Flex Hot 97! It’s craaaazy!!
3755. CeeCee Sounds: HOW HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD SOMETHING FROM DISTURBED
3756. poorest*mans_gaming 6991: Yo do Shinedown devil or simple man!!!
3757. Francisco BVRC: If you notice in the end, you have the musicians coming together with the writers. Only then can the silence (which is represented by that river or lake) be truly broken. I think that might be the message behind the video.
3758. Kevin B.: Doug Phillips If they don’t do that then YouTubes copyright algorithm will get the video taken down.
3759. Stephen Pelletier: Love your show guys good job
3760. NARCISSIST984: Not a soul patch. It's a tattoo
3761. Omarr Guerrero: Gotta react to Kamelot. I suggest When the Lights Are Down, Memento Mori, Center of the Universe, Ghost Opera, Amnesiac, Liar Liar, and Silverthorne.
3762. Chad Stacey Hopson: Bruh’s!!!! If you think his voice is powerful here you should hear there normal, so to speak, music.... DISTURBED has been strong for an umpteen amount of years now!!!! Love the channel.... been rockin with y’all since Lil’ Dicky vids!!
3763. The Alpha Male: Refers to Censorship
3764. Henry Wakefield: Do more Disturbed
3765. Outcast wanderer: Everytime someone shaves their head- especially light skintoned people- ...... Maybe they went bald, when a girl never grew boobies- can we see a coment?
3766. Bob Boynton: sometimes you just have to go with it and don't look to deep into the words literally. allow it to create a frame of mind
3767. StupidGayBearName: Please Call Me, Baby would be good too, sorry got that album on now and prob gonna suggest each pne as it plays, always good to meet another fan though, cheers!
3768. Stephen Pelletier: He looks like Dana White from MMA
3769. Benno Benno: CHIRAQ -MONTANA OF 300
3770. Shane Hackett: You should do A Reason To Fight by Disturbed. Another awesome song by them.
3771. Tiek: the voice of a generation
3772. Tio Nino: Wouter I thought he was father Gabriel from the walking dead.
3773. JJP90: disrespectful shits
3774. Brandon Gerber: BENT LIFE- WAR !! This is a great example of hardcore metal. They are an underground band. Let’s give all the free thinkers a damn good band/song to hear that they’ve also never heard before !!!
3775. Kyle J. H.: 46 dislikes as of 9pm Pacific lol, NOT ME!!!
3776. NotASqueaker 13: Breaking Benjamin Dear Agony or S.i.x.x am skin
3777. April Ray Alabama Tall Chic: Sickness maybe
3778. Luc Nillesen: do CHILDREN OF BODOM ARE YOU DEAD YET
3779. Mark Swinsick: This song is all about the Vietnam War.
3780. Chris F: You guys should do some Jack White - Over and Over and Over
3781. Sarkast: yeeeeees
3782. Ancient Ruins Official: Iced Earth Travel in stygian Alive in Athens Version please 😎🤘😝
3783. Vy Vy: Hello! Have you heard Vietnamese music? :) Please react MVs "Chay Ngay Di (Run Now)" and "Lac Troi" of Son Tung M-TP - Vietnamese artist. He's so famous in Vietnam and his MVs are so amazing, modern and update world trend. I'd like to hear your thoughts about his music. So please react about his MVs, please!!! Thanks so much!!!
3784. Ryan Bader: You guys would really enjoy Say it Ain't So by Weezer and the cover of The Chauffeur by Deftones!!!!
3785. John CoC: I wouldn't necessarily call this the best cover of all time, I would usually term a great cover as a version where the artist really makes it their own. I would probably rank Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah, Johnny Cash - Hurt, Jimi Hendrix - Star Bangled Banner well above this cover, heck I would even rate Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - End of the Road higher.
3786. TW: The live version is even better
3787. Margie Reed: I like the guys voice, but it hard to understand half of his words. So eh. Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt" is so much better.
3788. Mitch P: The thing that kills me about this version is that David has spoken about how he was able to use the classical/operatic techniques he was taught years ago. If this is what he was taught, he needs go stick to being metal. The nasal vowel tones and singing through the "R" consonant drove me nuts. I loved the power when he made the switch. In fact, the sound became clearer once he moved into his "metal voice." The sound of the opening verses made my cynical classically trained vocal snob self want to scream. Stick to the "Wah. Ah, Ah, Ah..."
3789. Emily Robinson: https://youtu.be/MLeIyy2ipps Shindown "45"
3790. Kevin Kuenn: Sorry, this cover is perfectly fine, but you have to expect some backlash when people try to claim that this is one of the best covers in music history. They took a great song, removed the vocal harmonies which was the original's most defining feature, and put mushy synth strings underneath it to make sound quote-unquote "epic". It's not epic, in fact it's kind of lame. Maybe if they'd gotten a real orchestra it would've sounded better, but this just sounds like a guy who selected "ORCHESTRA" on his Casio and is just playing very basic chords.
3791. William Sigwalt: I've read a lot of the comments and heard your reaction to this song and I believe most are right on the money. If I may add,  I think that although this song was written during a very trying time in our country, the message is very applicable to today's society.  We have such a division that we are living the lyrics.  We talk without speaking, we hear without listening.   The extremes in our society believe theirs is the only correct view and they say what only promotes their agenda or tears the other's down  and hear only what confirms their belief or condemns the other's.  There seems to be no common ground anymore and I am saddened by that.  We will never be able to be one Nation until we all are willing to listen to each other and appreciate what each has to say and find that simple commonality we all share.  Like you've said, I may be way off, but that's how I see things.  Thanks.
3792. Eric Holladay: Tedeschi Trucks Band - midnight in Harlem
3793. mike s: I think the song has a church angle , people are not coming together in worship (and song/community) instead they just listen to their neon (media) god.
3794. Ceevro: The neon god is all your pop stars...vapid...nothing to say...silence.
3795. J. Hayes: Now I cannot unsee Howie Mandel...
3796. Bella Packowski: Omg yes! One of my favorites 🙏🏼✨
3797. LC Ashba: U guys should do HIM for us goth fans❤
3798. James Brown: For the very first time, and perhaps unfairly because my history with this song goes back almost to the time when it was written, I am disappointed in your reaction. You hit all of the recognizable high points in terms of vocal power, etc. but somehow failed to recognize or experience the very visceral feelings and emotions this song can and should evoke, especially as sung by Disturbed. I am, as a general rule, not a fan of covers...but THIS song is one of only 2 covers I have ever heard that both captured the feel of the original AND elevated it to another level...the other being Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" (which you should really listen to if you have not done so). As for the meaning behind this song...it is like a really excellent poem. It is specific enough to evoke certain emotions and yet general enough to apply to a number of issues and situations. It applied to Simon's personal situation when he wrote it and later applied to the counter-culture movement of the 60s. It can now easily apply to the current political division in our country as well as our fixation on technology. That is what makes the song one of the most brilliant ever written...it can appeal to a broad spectrum of people and issues across an enormous span of time. For perspective: this song is over a half a century old and STILL relevant.
3799. Eric Spargo: Metallica Orion
3800. Daniel Castilla: Powerwolf - Amen&Attack
3801. Peter Benedetta: Let's have stricken next kick ass track.
3802. Hamdhaan Rasheed: Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country please!
3803. Thomas Page: It’s over the killing of Kennedy just a remake
3804. Enrique Sanchez: Please listen to Jzac
3805. J.t. Orem: +caden brockbank that's my favorite song but vicarious is more straightforward lyrically but either way they're going to get both of the songs masterful works lyrically for sure
3806. Ginger Bruner: Down with the sickness by disturbed .. Would be great to watch your traction to that..
3807. Vicki Harder: You guys should react to them doing this live on Conan! It’s incredible, I highly recommend!!
3808. Randolph Hoganzer: Art Garfunkel had an amazing voice, so does this guy. Different takes, both are great.
3809. Soothsayer1356: Give me Simon and Garfunkel. He seems ominous. Little scary. Like a serial killer.
3810. BottleFed_ SS: not a soul patch, its piercings
3811. Keith Beaver: you guys are so screwed up.  You didn't know this song.  The song made the Graduate the movie that it was.  I can't believe you have a show!!!  Have you ever heard of the Beatles???  You are over thinking this whole song.  Right BRO?
3812. Sophia Limestall: Ozzie Osborne - dreamer
3813. checkle1: This was a shit cover in my opinion. It sounds like a Christmas anthem and it took all of the harmony and disconcerting feeling out of the song. Love the band though. Just kind of shit on the feeling of the original.
3814. Paul Sapp: Really don’t know why people found this to be so awe inspiring. I guess it’s just not for me. Very dull sound.
3815. Shawn Hendricks: WEEN
3816. Jerred Boshears: TOOL- PUSHIT
3817. Jose Diaz: Peleaste do Who thought you how to hate from them!! Great song... thanks for doing my favorite band... keep it going
3818. EastNewYorkStyle Records: Kory Linn I’d actually really like to see them do a lyrical analysis of “a pair of brown eyes” by the Pogues (or see their reaction to the weird 80’s video for it) but Fairytale of New York is a classic.
3819. christianrutter: It's the year of second chances. Pantera - Cemetery Gates & Sepultura - Refuse/Resist please!!! \m/
3820. Ryan Farrell: Should do Stupify or Down with the Sickness by them
3821. Christopher Vilches: liked the impressions you got from the lyrics around the 5 min mark.....its a very dead and gospely type of song.....dramin sings it well...he is Jewish ...he is the niel diamond of metal.........lol...jk
3822. Nick G: Bad Brains - Soul Craft Faith No More - The Real Thing Fugazi - Waiting Room
3823. randy rocket: imagine dragons-radioactive
3824. Jake Karslake: Do turnpike troubadors - the funeral
3825. Nadpu: The live version is so much better!
3826. Kevin Rogerson: Protest The Hero - Mist
3827. April Poucher: The Night by Disturbed is my fave!
3828. Randy Garrett: David PERFORMED this song well. However this cover is sooo goddamn overrated. S&G's version is much better.
3829. rishab Moza: John Bachmann wood of ypres - kiss my ashes
3830. datalink7: Just found you guys recently. Part of what I like above a lot of other reaction channels is your smart commentary. It's fun watching just reactions sometimes, but I like the intelligent discussion this channel brings. Thanks!
3831. Jeff Nicholson: Shudder Before The Beautiful - Nightwish
3832. few4th: The live version they did on stage at a concert with Myles Kennedy was amazing too!
3833. b carb: Wow,I really like this cover...goosebumps.
3834. jackielynnredwood: The Sound of Silence has a deeper meaning of Suicide.
3835. MichiganFresh 0013: Would love to see some reactions to Ozzy
3836. Anacronian: I'm probably the only the only person in the world who far prefers the humble nature of the original version.
3837. J L: dirtygore I second that.
3838. Random Person: Sometimes I think it's just never going to happen. Could you imagine them watching the documentary with SRV and Albert King, killing the blues and a little honky tonkin'.
3839. Korolex: In terms of covers I prefer Disturbed - ISHFWILF (I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For)
3840. galen stone: The Pretty Reckless: Heaven Knows
3841. Ian McAlister: I might be too late for this to get noticed, but I wanted to mention a bit of the meaning behind the original version. Simon and Garfunkel wrote this around the time when television was first becoming commonplace in the average american household. They shared the view at the time that TV would bring about a sort of "societal death". The "sound of silence" being the idea that, while TV's make plenty of sound, nothing worthwhile was being said. As a side note, Rush parodied some of the lyrics to this song in Spirit of the Radio: "The words of the profits are written on the studio walls, concert halls. And echo with the sound of salesman..." Basically saying that TV wasn't bringing anything new to the table. Radio was already mostly advertising. Anyways, love you guys!
3842. Darren O'Donnell: Imma stop you right there. Love covers, love this cover, but my fav is Jeff Buckley - hallelujah
3843. Mathew Erenbergee: I mentioned in a comment earlier, not specifically mentioning any title by them, but the sound of silence while a great cover by them isn't a good starting point into disturbed. Stricken I believe is the best song if not than possibly the game
3844. EminemKingOfRap1000: Thomas Gannon their best song imo
3845. Amber Gordon: The song is about apathy, this song and Pink Floyd's On the Turning away.
3846. Jarsh019: How about Nautical Disaster - The Tragically Hip
3847. Linda Jarvis: I love they way you read the lyrics to get an understanding of them. It just struck me when you read the part about the neon God they made, (and I am not a religious fanatic ) but reminded me about Moses coming from the mountain with the tablets and saw the golden bull the people made. Also the part of 'take my arms that I might reach you, take my words thatI might reach you. The words like client raindrops fell makes me think that it could mean like words going into one ear and out the other. Anyway I give you a big thumbs up for reading the lyrics and trying to make sense of them. Your video is the best reaction video I have ever heard from anyone else. I agree everyone has their own thoughts and I do value their own opinion. If I could give you 1000K thumbs up I would.
3848. Bill Buzzell: These are the people he sees writing songs that voices never shared and talking without speaking... https://youtu.be/4oO9zbQNiwg And no, they are not the lost ones. They just can't talk and write yet and still got a jump on all of us. Mark 10[15] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. The one in neon flashing out warnings would obviously be "Mickey Mouse" aka Michael the Archangel... Dan.12 [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
3849. metal warrior: E Kramer2 it's very pointless! Metal music exists since 1970 and there are hundreds(or even thousands) of bands all over the world who are waiting to be explored from the fans! Metallica are famous and billionaires, they have already gained all the recognition they deserved(and maybe more than they deserved...). They don't need more attention!
3850. TenTonNuke: Saw this in my feed and was like YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
3851. Anthony Joseph: Unfortunately either people hate this cover or praise it way to much when in reality it is a good cover of an. Even better original. I do hope you react to a song that is more indicative of what Disturbed is about though.
3852. Cesar Almeida: These song lives from the build up and you guys stopping it so many times ruined your reaction to it for me...so in my case you guys were right about the dislike. First time I dislike one of your videos.
3853. Robert Beckler: Talking about people without souls. Rock on
3854. Nelson Market: Kyuss - Demon cleaner Kyuss - Whitewater Metal Church - Anthem to the estranged Moonspell - An erotic alchemy Vektor - Collapse Edge of Sanity - Enigma
3855. Runswithwind: Been watching your Channel since you was only at 36,000 viewers. Love what rock songs you pick!!!! Please stay away from old rock... pick some newer rock. I’m sick of Kiss, Pink Floyd and ac/dc.
3856. Lawfy D. Ace: Ashy Larry I am in
3857. Caleb Bro: https://youtu.be/d_KxReI-gDo This link will explain it
3858. Thayer Yates: Well it was mainly Metallica, Judas Priest, Avenged Sevenfold, and Disturbed. But they were among some of the first metal I listened to.
3859. Kate Champion: Randolph Hoganzer the very first time I saw a video of theirs, that is EXACTLY what I thought.
3860. Kylea Michele: David is actually an opera singer which is how his vocal range is so fucking crazy lol
3861. Zao Long Wei: the way he sings sounds very fake(phony).
3862. Michael Butler: Great channel!!!!
3863. Keykers77: I clicked so damn fast! Been waiting awhile.
3864. Cruiser Power Ranger: Disturbed 10,000 fists in the air.
3865. legenddean1969: Love y'all, but Disturbed SUCKS
3866. Ceej's Pain Train: Lest we forget that Paul Simon actually wrote to Disturbed saying that it was the greatest version of the Song he had ever heard
3867. Connor Wilburn: Them Bones - Alice In Chains
3868. nmendels12345: The Satanist - Behemoth
3869. Andrew Gann: Stop focusing on the external. Give the song a chance. Please. This song is awesome and David Dramin sang his ass off. And if you're looking for a drop beat. You're not going to find it here. No drums. But this is still one of the baddest covers ever. And yes, I'm 2000 and late. LOL
3870. Ja Ova: Haha people get so asshurt over an opinion. Defending disturbed will not make someone who dislikes the cover, like it lmfao
3871. kevdotexe: Awesome reaction guys. If you haven't heard much Disturbed before this video, you should check out a little bit of their stuff, even if it's offline. They're a hard rock group, great gettin angry and working out music. Seeing this cover is really a testament to their musical versatility and talent, at least for me.
3872. rishab Moza: Opeth - benighted
3873. bri marie: It’s like Dolly Patton’s I will always love you then Whitney’s version, same song but could be totally different/ this guy as far as I know is in a scream band he hasn’t sung like that since he was in his teens ; when he heard himself sing he cried ,obviously a waste of talent cause dude can really sing !
3874. booger12350: How about “Heart Breaker” by Grand Funk!
3875. Mike Keith: Whats the difference between talking and speaking?
3876. Swiggy Swagg: You guys HAVE to listen to Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan
3877. JA Lanit: You should react to the live performance with Myles Kennedy.
3878. Forrest Commander: If you’re trying to recall where you heard it by Simon & Garfunkle, it was immediately following Will Ferrel falling in the pool after shooting himself with a tranquilizer dart in “Old School.”
3879. switchboardrevelry: Live version of Sound of Silence with Myles Kennedy singing with David is amazing.
3880. Thayer Yates: Glad to see that you guys finally got to Disturbed, they're one of the bands that got me into metal and still one of my favorites. If you ever revisit them I suggest Legion of Monsters. It's a lesser known song by them because it was a bonus track but I think it's one of their best and a good display of what the majority of Disturbed's music is.
3881. Robert Rebecca: Love that you broke this up with humor. I think the video is taking itself toooo seriously. They lyrics are IT.
3882. Hugh Fuller: No dislike. I gave a like. Keep going.
3883. Emily Robinson: Try some ORIGINAL Disturbed...."Indestructible"
3884. Tha13uttabean: The Vengeful One - Disturbed
3885. 1ofsolitude: Love stupify, amazing song, actually that whole damn album is amazing.
3886. Andrew James: I think the song is about oppression of governments on the freedom of creativity. Seeing the creativity of the people through the oppression of silence by the government.
3887. Jay Velasquez: Nah, no no, Disturbed has many nice songs and this ain't one of them, no
3888. Jasper Arcadia: Imagine by a perfect circle would be another great cover to check out.
3889. KJ Williams: Would like you to review, “Down with the sickness”.
3890. boogiedads: seems you guys were mesmerized by this one--- i've watched most your other vids,, this one had you glued to the screen !!!
3891. Helgi Már Friðgeirsson: Amazing song
3892. 12th Man: *He's facial expressions strong ASF*
3893. Neno White: I like your perspective on this. It's one of, if not my favorite, cover songs. To me it's an echo of the original version. They're trying to being people back around to not only understanding each other but themselves. We have mainstream everything now. It tells us how to look, how to be together, how to think, how to do everything. So, we have a lot of people going around trying to be what everyone else is. When really, we're all kind of lost and not really understanding how to have that inner voice, that song on the paper, come out. The tone is, this is what everyone wants..to change but nobody will be the first one to embrace it so they're going to show people how. That's my thought on it, anyway.
3894. kathy crutcher: Oh you have heard down with the sickness from disturbed.awesome video,George is hilarious,soul patch😂😂😂
3895. Pokafalva: The best summation of this song that I have heard. Well done!
3896. K JAM: Disturbed does another great cover of a classic rock song: "Land Of Confusion". "Stupify" and "Down With The SIckness" are probably their best original songs.
3897. IDoNotSow: I think the "silence" is people's indifference towards one another, and the "neon god" is in this version of the song is today's celebrity worship culture.
3898. Growler King: (^^^)
3899. Tnk4me: Neon Gods are the modern representation of Consumerism and the pursuit of money. Neon Lights= Flashy traps without substance.
3900. stewy37: This is cool, and I love this song, but it isn't really Disturbed. I'd still like to see y'all react to Disturbed: Stricken, but at this point I'd be happy with any of the major Disturbed songs.
3901. Cleve Crudgington: They did Texas Flood live but it was blocked by the record label. If I remember correctly did an edited reupload too but that got taken down as well. Long story short: they were very impressed.
3902. Dan Farr: yo guys, love that you done this song, I'd reccomend that you try listening to other songs by disturbed, they are a heavy/nu metal band who have BOUNCING riffs, personally I would say my favourite songs are 'Another way to die' and 'ten thousands fists' definitely a band that gets pumped in the gym, shits like musical steroids
3903. Erathizzle: Babymetal will blow this channel up as well
3904. KarmaZyn: When you get back around to System of a Down, I'd love to see you guys react to Toxicity (the song, not the full album of course)
3905. Laura Tieffel: Should see the 9/11 tribute of this song!!! AMAZING......
3906. david panda123: HellYeah Love loves is another emotional song you guys need to check out
3907. ThatGuyLikesCarsAndStuff: This song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps/chills when I listen to it. Also, I always listen to this song with the windows open and as loud as I can bare. It will forever be that good. I am so glad they did this. I am so glad you guys reacted to it. As a viewer, you can see that you guys were completely pulled in by this song. THAT is and always will be a HUGE mark for a properly great song.
3908. andre rodriguez: If you doing covers might wanna check out Postmodern Jukebox they cover songs in vintage format. My fave is the cover of Maps (song from Maroon 5 which is ehhh). Love what you guys do!
3909. Chris Long: I guess all white people look alike...
3910. Mark Fox: Also remember this is a cover so these lyrics aren't disturbeds.. Its still what Paul Simon wrote in 1964.... I think It would be a remix if they rewrote it
3911. thatwascool012345: SPOONMAN PLEASE
3912. inashentears: High On Fire - The Falconist please... or finally Primordial - The Coffin Ships
3913. Tyler Miller: I like how this cover sounds, but I've heard it criticized as the original was intentionally quiet as part of the message and this cover is very loud. My favorite metal cover is Turisas covering Rasputin originally by Boney M.
3914. Rafael Reus Brocca: YES
3915. Toxic Todd: Maybe punk rock vids soon?
3916. Hammond Chamberlain: QWERTY - Mushroomhead
3917. Sam W: This cover was intense but I love their cover of Land of Confusion originally done by Genesis and would love for you to react to that.
3918. Gordon Young: Karaoke version sorry, maybe ok if you had never heard the original
3919. Zathrus Pridham: +markeldamgaard watch the garfunkel interview
3920. Mirajane Fey: This is an amazing song, one of my favorites. But really not a good example of Disturbed at all. The biggest hits have been Down with the Sickness, Striken, Believe, Stupify, Prayer, Violence Fetish (not as big but good song), Indestructible, Ten Thousand Fists, Land of Confusion (Genesis Cover), Immortalized, Light it Up (newer sound of them), and then Droppin' Plates, which is just one of my favorite "deep tracks" of theirs off their first album.
3921. EarMode: You really should do Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" for comparison. I think you'll be amazed.
3922. Marty Jordan: Slipknot....snuff
3923. Sailing Kestrel: I have been waiting for you to do this for a long time. Got to say though I'm pretty disappointed. Go back and just LISTEN to this song without stopping it and talking about Howie Mandel and soul patches. Even though it was written in the early 60s, it is so prophetic as to today's situation in this country. Social media is the neon God that has been made and the people bow to it instead of engaging with each other on personal one-on-one levels. We no longer talk to each other. We no longer hear each other. The words of the prophets are found in the places where social media is not. Your grandparents homes your churches. Places such as that. The ability to write and perform music is a gift (some would say from God) and it may be his way of telling us all we had better wise up and realize the path we are heading down with social media. His words are the music and if you notice at the end of the video, the band is in an ARK.
3924. Anthony jasso: I think you have to listen to Original Disturbed songs to really appreciate the range of the band. Listen to Down with the Sickness or Stricken real quick then go back to this song. You'll appreciate it more. Keep up the good work guys
3925. Carlos Sorrentino: This song was written during the Vietnam War era so it’s somewhat about people, government, politicians, peace ✌️Love and war
3926. Becky Neufeld: I agree with last person.movie the graduate dutin hoffman
3927. Michael Tveten: What’s up George, Ryan? My free-thinkin’ brothers out in the LV! I first heard this song in the early 70’s as a kid. I always thought it was about how the educated elite try to keep the groundlings, or poor, in-check by promoting “Silence”. AKA—“Keep your mouth shut”, and take what we give you, and be happy we give you anything. And the disenfranchised masses responded by finding solace in expressing their discontent through “music”. They found a way to “break” the silence without inciting a “revolt” that they probably couldn’t defend......Just my take on it, Paul Simon would probably laugh at my interpretation. Love the channel, maybe one day y’all will react to the Chi-Lites!
3928. nno2012: Symphony X !!!
3929. Andy Streets: Not the best cover ever. Great covers take on new meaning from the new artist. Try Johnny Cash's hurt or Metallica's turn the page.
3930. Jeff Mcardell: I think it means different things to different people. I feel that some of the meaning is that if you are abused, keep your mouth shut, no one wants to hear about it. And I think it goes down that type of road.
3931. Bjarki2330: We need more Gojira!!
3932. Weber Baker: You are right I think on many of your points. The song was written long enough ago that 'personal' technology did not really exist in terms of computers, etc.
3933. Brendan Black: Ryan looked depressed the entire video
3934. Nick Santangelo: I want to do reaction videos but I have no idea how to start. Any help would be appreciated
3935. M1ke J: You complete and utter fools, you have no concept of what this song is about otherwise you would not keep stopping it to interject you own stupidity.It was a protest song from the 60s and in its original form was a little folksy. This cover gives it a darkness and a power that the original just never did and which you destroy with your inane chatter. If you are going to review a track, STFU and listen Note to self: Never listen to these two halfwits again.
3936. Matt W: In order to really appreciate the depth of this song and why it's so phenomenal sung by disturbed, you should listen to their song "Down With the Sickness" so you have a comparison to what their typical music sounds like.
3937. Aa A: Gonna take another stab with Sleeping My Day Away by D-A-D! Love the vid guys, I really enjoy this song and I used to sing it with my friends during drunken shenanigans.
3938. heather westover: When this song came out, it was like nothing they had done before. You really need to listen to some of their earlier songs to get a feel for their “usual” sound... much harder than this.
3939. This Guy: that's one manly ass soul-patch
3940. Derek Buhse: You are correct it is about the society and its dependence on technology and our self absorption.
3941. Mark Wildt: I think you need to revisit the Devin Townsend Project... Not Strapping Young Lad, not the Devin Townsend Band... But Devin Townsend Project... Perhaps Higher or something off Transcendence...
3942. Vj Fifa: J.I.D WORKING OUT PLEASE!!
3943. nghtcase: I can listen to this song over and over. I'm older, so the Simon and Garfunkel was the first version for me. IMO, this one tops it so many times over!
3944. Charlee Bunch: No dudes,u r right even though this song was originally from the 70s,it has the meaning that u ascribed to it,Love your analysis of songs,God bless
3945. Thedoctor133: If I understand the lyrics as they were meaning hear, they are talking about how in modern culture we put more emphasis on catchy mean nothing songs from low talent hacks, instead of people creating music from the soul from experiences they had. That covers "talking without speaking" , and the people who just eat it up are the "hearing without listening". The "neon god they made" is the modern music publications who push more and more of that low effort junk making people want it more so they do it more, creating a causality loop. The "song that voices never shared" are the artist who struggle to create real music that don't get picked up by the major companies who produce the music that people listen to. As to the visual of instrument being scattered and destroyed it is a jab at the fact that so many people now days use electronic instruments instead of gaining the skill to play the instrument themselves or to hire a struggling artist who can play it, if they even use instruments at all.
3946. Jason Rajpaulsingh: Please do The Night by Disturbed. Excellent song.
3947. irish8008: Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful
3948. Kristen Kiernan: Can you do a reaction to Floor Jansen ghost
3949. Adam Gillespie: Greatest covers are shinedown simple man.. which you just did originally by skynard.. and hurt Johnny cash which you've already done by nine inch nails
3950. Finkeren: Best cover ever? Not by a long shot. Even just Disturbed’s own cover of Genesis’ “Land Of Confusion” is a much better cover (of an inferior song - but the cover adds so much more to it, than it does to Sound Of Silence)
3951. Brian Fletcher: You should listen the whole song then comment......
3952. Kevin Barker: Covers? Love this version. Try Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean.
3953. Obijo Kenobi: This song is missing the higher pitch of the second singer.
3954. fuck you: I would say imo the best cover ever was Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails - Hurt. I say its the best because he manages to do something that ive NEVER seen before in a cover, and that is to completely change the meaning of the song...without using a different word or speed, but with pure inflection.
3955. William Edmiston: Tesseract - Acceptance
3956. William Neeley: That is a crappy version of the original by Simon/Garfunkle. This is probably the original here without the drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLfCnGVeL4 They did not find real success until they added drums to their songs like they did here at 14:00 minutes. https://youtu.be/SACeGmvxE1A?t=801 You cant no that unless you was alive in the 60s.
3957. CipherBytes: I think if you listen to the two, you hear the original sending you a message, and in this one it's like "listen this time!". It's a very good version.
3958. Michael Kirkland: Plus, you're hilarious in areas. Haha it's 4am I'm home from bowling and drinking but you guys keep me laughing .... sincerely "That guy"
3959. Cordero: Stricken by Disturbed come on man
3960. Nate Baker: YES !!! I can finally say I know a band lmfaooo I've heard some songs from Disturbed which is more on the high adrenaline rock songs that just make you feel badass, However this song is a great song inter catalogue that also shows the more solemn, contemporary skills of his vocals on a softer beat. At 6:20 you can hear that transition in his voice and to me it was a highlight in the performance. Thanks for reacting to Disturbed gentlemen.
3961. Icy Luna: The original version felt like a warning of what was to come. This version feels like a condemnation of what has already passed.
3962. Joshua Dillon: Land of Confusion or The Animal by Disturbed
3963. NuclearCha0s: I thought these guys knew a thing or two about music, lol.
3964. Dimebag Metal22: Tool- parabola
3965. Debra Crabtree: Hey what's up I live in Vegas:)
3966. Drizzin: Great video as always. A great cover. Check out the live version from conan o Brien show. Even more powerful
3967. RayniacW: You need to check Nevermore's version of this song
3968. Dale Dubose: Have any of you seen Sean Rowe doing 1952 Vincent Black Lightning? His performance on it is pretty awesome.
3969. Benito Martinez: So you guys never listened to down with the sicknees by disturbed their signature song
3970. John Gilbert harleyrules: Yeah Quad Clops... good call, please Lost in Vegas.... check out Chris in this song...
3971. Janie Miller: Always heard this song was about the aftermath of the Vietnam War. If you go back and listen to the lyrics with that in mind then it makes a lot more sense. It really matches the eerie tone
3972. VadorX: someone said this shit was the best cover? lol
3973. bashbrannigan: Once he made the joke about Howie Mandel I quit it. Give me a break.
3974. samuel rivera: have you done slipknot- snuff? or vermillion pt 2?
3975. Joe: I can't recall if you've done Disturbed before, but if you do another please do Voices, Stricken, Remember, Numb or Violence Fetish
3976. IamBigNizz: While we're at it, my top classic rock covered by metal covers: five finger death punch- the house of the rising sun. Bad wolves- zombie. Metallica- am I evil. Avenged sevenfold- wish you were here
3977. 90's kid: Please react to Whitney Houston The Voice | By Archie
3978. Melissa Williams: SRV - Voodoo Child (one night in Texas)
3979. Terry Beaton: Perhaps the Neon God is the Entertainment Industry. (?)
3980. Todd Richmond: Liquid garbage.
3981. John Bachmann: Woods of Ypres!
3982. AgenteusaRR: im liking it because of the soul patch :P
3983. Freq OnnaLeash: On the original vs cover deal, it is a powerful rendition and they owned it. But,... Take a listen to Nine Inch Nails, Hurt, vs the cover by Johnny Cash.
3984. Jason Husky: they defiled simon and garfunkel ..horrible..lol
3985. Tool4APC2012: You don’t have to listen to anything else by disturbed. This song is great but the rest of the songs blow
3986. Juan Vazquez: Creekboylloyd "You are having a good time baby, but that won't last..."
3987. UFmamba8: Pushing for KYDD. Guy has BARS
3988. Joe Mokbel: It's time for Symphony X. You guys are missing out BIG TIMEEEEE. Do Evolution or Fallen, you will not regret it, by the hand of Odin!!!
3989. fuck you: This cover is trash. Listen to the original. Sounds like a Christmas carol.
3990. Jonathan Kozakiewicz: Just found you guys and I have never "subscribed" to any channel.. TRUTH. However, you guys are awesome. Non biased opinions and genuine and sincere thoughts. Keep up the great work guys! Love it!!
3991. Ad Delirium: I like these guys, never seen them before. I actually wrote a paper on this song in high school. Said it was about technology, how it makes the world smaller and yet isolates us from one another. I liked the thought they put into their analysis. Cracked me up when he stopped to say DDraiman looks like Howie--he so does.
3992. Noah Forman: You guys haven't done black metal, yet. I don't think. How about Dissection - Where Dead Angels Lie. Pretty easy intro to the genre.
3993. S.L. S.L.: Metallicas ..Bob Segar-"Turn the Page" cover is great too
3994. Jesse Bower: Bridge over troubled water by Simon and garfunkel is so beautiful, even if for just personal consumption I would take a look
3995. Joshua Bulger: Great channel keep up the good work
3996. nejdoful: Avenged sevenfold - natural born killer! do it!!!
3997. takerionut: What a bunch of retards.
3998. Jare M: Opeth - Burden
3999. Tip Aly: David D. said in an interview that they received a call from Paul Simon (I think) telling and the band that it was a spectacular spin on their song. That sort of praise is invaluable, it’s also very old school (imo) to be accepting of another group using your music. Tom Petty was cool with it....
4000. Valjean666dk: Shinedown has done an excellent cover of Simple Man. There are some different versions out there, but this is the one I prefer: watch?v=wGrPn1fSy1E&t=0s&list=PLzafzEDTJ5UWR7t0oP_C94K_vrDKmT0kk&index=9
4001. Jeff Fowler: About time you did this one
4002. Brandon Lytle: Yeah that sucks that this is the first disturbed song that y'all have reacted to..this is definitely not Disturbed..react to down with the sickness or stupify which are the biggest tracks but personally my favorite is Dropping Plates..review that guys.....
4003. SweetLikeCyanide: Guys, I know it's soon, but you should do another Opeth. The second suggestion, Bleak, was honestly terrible for you guys, and I dont know why anyone would've picked it considering you didn't like the growling in Ghost of Perdition. Please react to the Roundhouse Tapes version of Face of Melinda! Or Sorceress from Red Rock Ampitheater! Pretty pleeeease with a cherry on top! Those two suggestions are entirely clean vocals, and my first (FoM) still maintains their harshness despite it being all clean, and the second is a bit more progressive and is off their newest album. Either one displays how amazing this band is live, and how beautiful Mikael's clean vocals are.
4004. Terry Wendt: Great reaction guys! I'd dispute "best cover/remake" ever though, though I know that isn't what you said. Let me give you three much better cover/remakes: 1) Motley Crue covering The Beatles - Helter Skeltor. 2) Metal Church covering Deep Purple's Highway Star. 3) Anne and Nancy Wilson covering Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Awards... And as a Bonus, Corinne Bailey Rae and Herbie Hancock covering The Beatles - Blackbird. But that's just my opinion...
4005. Wintermute vs Neuromancer: No. Live wasn't that good.
4006. EastNewYorkStyle Records: Christmas is still a few months away but throwing out a recommendation for you guys: A fairytale of New York by The Pogues
4007. gaming freaks: React to Down with the sickness by Disturbed!
4008. Vasilis Metalhead: Hairs in the back of my neck still become like thorns whenever i listen to Davids powerful performance on the last verses like the first time i listened to it. Just for reference try listening to Nevermore's version of the song. It will blow you away!
4009. ChimourTheBatFurry: Oh! Or, if you want a BETTER Simon & Garfunkel cover, try looking up Elvis' cover of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. Be warned, though. That cover is like snorting a rail of cocaine. It's powerful shit, man.
4010. John Doe: The Sound of Silence, the sound of two large groups of people refusing to listen to the other side and instead choosing to worship their neon god they built up. When the protagonist sees this horror, he tries to warn them and tries to tell them they should be reaching out to each other instead of just listening to their own echo chamber, he's ignored. Very much political of the day, and unfortunately, very much representative of today.
4011. Jacque Renee: I’m sorry I was bored with the video, the words, the group. He can hold a note though🤷🏽‍♀️
4012. Todd Hall: There's a band called Bobaflex who covered this, check it out. They aren't an extremely well known band but they're talented and write super catchy songs.
4013. 501Bloo: +Ivan Novak some ppl have a problem embracing their dark side, thus crying for help.
4014. Lex Hogan: Copyright Strikes are a thing. They have to or they get Copyright Strikes
4015. Donald Mosley: Their actual songs are much better, you guys should check out down with the sickness.
4016. kevin harvey: You shouldnt be stopping songs to add goofy remarks. Listen, react, and respond after. You ruin the flow
4017. cuzz63: This song is in the top 20 list of songs played ever...yes you heard it, just didnt know it.
4018. Bob Slaw: The song was written during the vietnam war
4019. Alejandro Quezada: Enough of this weak ass metal. Do some real old school death metal. Do Deicide, Death, Cannibal Corpse or Bloodbath
4020. Sanskar Mishra: react to sound of madness next
4021. chuntone90: In this moment - the fighter
4022. Chris Smith: you guys souldent make fun of this song
4023. megan hunter: I saw them in concert back in 2001 the first 'music as a weapon' tour, think I was 15 or so. Even-though it was my very first taste of heavy metal (aaand, mosh pits) and I went home with some broken ribs (and a broken drumstick), it is still sticks in my memory as the best show I've been to since.
4024. Aaron Kay: take my arm and i might reach u was literal, like i wanna help u in any way i can
4025. Quiet Wolf: listen to Theory Of A Deadman - Medicate R(X)
4026. Harmony Wisdom: RUSH paraphrased a line from this in their "Spirit of the Radio" song. "..and the words of the prophets are written on the studio walls"
4027. Raiderblack: The Red
4028. Christine Fairchild: I want to see an ‘In This Moment’ review
4029. stratmatt22: original is way better. this cover is overrated. its just dramatic and lacks the subtleness and harmony it should have
4030. Matthew Blakey: David B Please! I’ve been leaving that suggestion on here and twitter for months
4031. Traxxattaxx: Mistfits?
4032. Oscar Robayo: Hey guys, whats up? i would like to watch u reacted with "Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen"... Good luck and hugs!!!
4033. Ray Sechrengost: Bob Seger - Turn The Page
4034. Jeff Kemp: DMn Simon and garfunkle did this as a duet and Dave rocks it solo...much props Disturbed
4035. William Furrey: Please watch and listen to the " Conan " version.....You will be blown away !!!!!!
4036. J T: BREAKING BENJAMIN - RED COLD RIVER!!!!
4037. rrr579123: Look up touch of class cover. Even better
4038. steve B: Dudes.... do more Van Halen
4039. Peter Brown: They also cover Genesis- Land of Confusion. Great cover as well.
4040. Christopher Black: I know you've done a few Chris Stapleton songs, but have you heard Death Row? It is so so good!
4041. digger muehlenkamp: Check out Slipknot " The Devil in I" great vocals from a metal band
4042. R0DisG0D: I was there and it was absolutely great. Would like to see a Nightwish reaction as well.
4043. me codes: look into the age the lyrics were written. In those times, the TV isolated people in houses and people just stopped coming together like in the ages before the TV. TV made prisons out of houses in the XX century. Now, in the XXI, we are more isolated by the internet and smartphones although there are people speaking everywhere (youtube and facebook). The lyrics are a calling to togetherness and unity by understanding and kindness. You dont need words to communicate and understand. But you can talk without saying something useful or true. Lies separate us, truth unites when understood.
4044. Agnès L.: Beautiful cover of this song
4045. James Sullivan: Dave drayman looks like howie? Wtf and this version is better
4046. John Story: Backyard lullaby demain jones
4047. Adam Richardson: Seriously give bolt thrower a try. Sooo groovy. See if you can listen without head banging, it's a challenge
4048. MrNas921: Great breakdown
4049. Chris Sees: Uhhhh watch the live version please
4050. J.R. Sic: #chills
4051. Danny Phan: was told this song talks about the nuclear bomb the neon god.
4052. Mikel Tami: Aaron dude that shit is spot on and super profound. I wish I could advertise this comment.
4053. JIPunisherIL: LOVE this cover but Johnny Cash's take on Hurt is god tier.
4054. MrAdidas1980: This cover is actually infinity times better than the original, which was even said by the man (one of two men) who created this song S&G.  To say this was a bad cover, just means anything that you have to say about music, I would pretty much think the opposite. "his vocals sound bad live" - dude try listening to the live version they did on Conan, which Paul Simon basically said that "the sound of music" was no longer his song, that's how good the live version of this song was, yet you claim he's terrible live?!?  People/musicians have this guy ranked in the top 10 of best vocals in modern music.  You have lost all credibility when it comes to critiquing/criticizing any type of music.FYI:  check out all the videos of this song mostly live on Conan by music coaches or music teachers who actually know what they're talking about.  Then I read your comment, is so laughable, there are 2 morons who agree with you, yet the guy who created this song, gave this version such praise... SMH!!!  BTW:  I'm not a fan or a hater of disturbed, but this song, this version... is pure talent on a whole different level.
4055. Adam Adam: Heard that .... Nice reference 👍
4056. Amanda Yates: Do "Asylum" by Disturbed, it's the best music video and the song just gets me pumped
4057. B Wray: Please do Korn freak on a leash, you will really like Korn . There like metal meats hip hop, they even did a song with ice cube !!!!
4058. Chuck D: Shut the fu#$ up! You f@#$ng rubes!
4059. H.E. Pennypacker: Dimmu Borgir - Gateways (live)
4060. Victor Rubio @vi20_v: SQUARE HAMMER, OR DANCE MACABRE BY GHOST 🤘🙏🙏🙏🎸👻💿💿💿🎙🎶
4061. The Jersey Ninja: When I was younger and just started getting into disturbed the first time I saw the singer I thought it WAS Howie Mandel lol
4062. Amer532: Yo people been sayn he look like Howie since Deal or No Deal
4063. Clint Mondragon: Disturbed Inside the Fire
4064. Nutricidal: Gigantic by the pixies. Double dog dare!
4065. J Boogie: This version is awful, I will never understand why people love this... Hot garbage
4066. Levi Smith: Stevie Ray Vaughn
4067. Kevin Heckeler: Disturbed's "Land of Confusion" [Genesis] cover is another of their classics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV4oYkIeGJc
4068. Bipolar: Do little research on Disturbed. You will be surprised.
4069. Shelby Churico: The original is in Watchmen the movie
4070. Kyle Goblirsch: Brooks and dunn- believe.
4071. sgtchewy: The voice is in key, but super.. poopy. I don't mind the cover but come on, it's like swimming through syrup or something.
4072. Catherine Pagel: Paul Simmon wrote this song after John F Kennedy was assassinated and was in silence in the dark. My mom told me she was in High school and the announcement came on all teachers stopped teaching turned on a tv to Walter Cronkite almost in tears. They didn't change rooms the rest of the day. Businesses stopped eyes were glued to television and everything and everyone was silent. Scared because no one knew who killed the favorite President and was Russia going to nuke us with the missiles now in Cuba. It was just a scary silence then came Vietnam. That is Simon & Garfunkel version.
4073. James Rutherford: Oh he'll yes please,!
4074. tRexArms: I prefer their cover shout 2000... but please do one of their pieces. I've been waiting for a disturbed reaction and you hit us with a cover... gaaahhh
4075. Dutch van der Linde: IM SO HAPPY THIS DAY IS HERE, PLEASE DO MORE DISTURBED GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4076. Nick Rippy: You guys Nailed it! Bridge over Troubled Water is their other big hit back then in the times when we were in War in Vietnam, and the country was in a huge divide. Not just with the War going on, and our military being shit on for their service they were drafted in to. So a big part was everyday 18 year olds that never wanted to serve getting pulled in to fight in a War the country didn't believe we should fight. At the same time Racism against black vs. white was huge, and women being treated fairly in the workplace! that day in age of issues to deal with was like a nuclear bomb. The whole Live Free as you want and drugs and crazy shit was a direct reflection of what was going on back home. I wasn't old enough to be there myself, but heard plenty enough from both sides being a Marine myself and from my elders how it was back then! The country was RIPPED apart! There was no Silence.
4077. bri marie: If you haven’t heard the first this is useless
4078. Kay Gasser: Plz plz plz look this man up! He is amazing https://youtu.be/IUXgLIgz7mU
4079. the_masked_musician !!: Please check out Veil of Maya
4080. Capricorn 1979: U have to remember that this song was wrote back in 1965 which technology wasn't really as advanced as it is now and keep in mind who wrote it. Simon and Garfunkel were considered to be "countercultural" icons during one of music's social revolution decades. I think u guys are on the right track, but I think there's a huge political meaning behind it (maybe even anti-politics or anti-war meaning). Either way, this particular group is a hard rock group and the lead singer, David Drainman, was given the opportunity to showcase how beautiful his voice really is. <3 <3 <3
4081. Nick: Please do some Disturbed that rocks....Too many to list, but The Game is a good one.
4082. Reed Baxter: Awesome cover guys. You should really give the Anthrax cover of Bring the Noise with Public Enemy. Its the song that got this metalhead into the classic public enemy albums and hip hop in general
4083. Ms Kofi: Yesssss this version.gives me chills
4084. Robert W.: David studied classical voice and opera..
4085. Kathy Young: Yeah! Land of Confusion is better!!!
4086. Stephanie Garza: I was iffy about this song when I first heard they did a cover of it because I was so use to old Disturbed but when I watched the music video I was shocked. Definitely impressed. I love it. Every time I hear this song I get chills and the video makes it even more amazing.
4087. Bobby Baker: Please check out this song live with Disturbed with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge.
4088. stormykeep: THE best voice in the metal world. Period.
4089. Iron word: simon wrote songs in his bathroom in the dark, he wrote this one in that same bathroom when he was having a tough time working something out....hello darkness my old friend was that beginning......the rest is history...
4090. Collyn Colecchio: This song is not even the true disturb. There more of a metal/hard rock band. You need to check out some of there old stuff next time you Liston to these guys
4091. Zack Franklin: Y'all should do a couple more Disturbed. They are way different than this song.
4092. Mikhaiel Gomes: You have to check out Down with the sickness by Disturbed! Have to
4093. biggred333: Disturbed - Down with the Sickness...Oh Wah ah ah ah!!!!!
4094. Long Lemon: Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer
4095. Tim Carder: i am so glad you chose the video version, it is a powerful cover of this song, but the vid gives it a greater impact. as for meaning, as a writer of (sometimes dark) poetry, interpretation is individualistic, what YOU think, is right, no matter the authors thought. now as for a comparison, "I'd" listen to "Down With The Sickness", by these guys, to understand why this song seems to have blown up more than you'd expect (ala Johnny Cash, and "Hurt")
4096. Janus Jónsson: Fear Factory - Final Exit !!!
4097. Omar Rodriguez: Periphery - Absolomb
4098. Kenton Kruger: kandy, I fully agree. I think this song is likely better appreciated if one is familiar with the band beforehand.
4099. A goat clown: I like your interpretation of it. Keep it up you two.
4100. metch: this aint even one of there good songs.
4101. Solo Spxro: Good man Tim McGraw. It’s a country song I think you two will enjoy reacting to!!
4102. Kryptonite: y'all seem to always go with the most boring picks lol
4103. Blackeagle1120 87: Need to listen to old Disturb to truly appreciate this one. Listen to Down with a Sickness as a good starting point.
4104. REDJ530: Disturbed- Down with the sickness
4105. Travis Peach: Maybe dont keep pausing it to make lame jokes and maybe read what the song is about before you play a video.
4106. JDBlack3347: Honestly, to really appreciate the beauty of Disturbed's Sound of Silence, you should listen to one of their other songs, such as Down With the Sickness, 10,000 Fists, or Indestructible, for an idea of their normal sound, which is so very different from this.
4107. Dale Dubose: JC Hurt may be the greatest cover.
4108. godfreyrt: David Draiman is a classically trained artist, from my understanding he contracted an illness in his vocal cords and after healing and getting rid of it he noticed he could sustain the rough growling notes and make the sound he is known for in their song Down with the Sickness. I love their music the musicianship and the lyrics are very well organized and well written. I have listened to them since the early 2000's! Everyone is right this is a great cover but the sound they are known for is close to the end of the song they have some really good songs though.
4109. CLureCo: With your lyric insight in mind, check the date on the original.
4110. Sherry H: this 54 yr old song lyric, reprised in such a magnificent cover, surprised me, especially by the passion of the vocalist. george noory, the coasttocoastam host, often plays this version by disturbed. thanks to these 2 awesome musical viewers for their appraisals on this and many other songs. even though paul simon wrote this song for a different purpose, it could've been a prophetic reality for the impact smart phones have created today, texting as talking without speaking, preoccupied in hearing without listening, bowing to the neon god they made-heads bowed to interact with their phones, etc.
4111. Jason Allen: THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST REMAKE EVER. I could name a dozen songs that are better than this remake (which is not better than the original), heck its not even Disturbed's best cover song, Land of Confusion is better than this. Here's some better remakes... Jimi Hendrix - All along the Watchtower Metallica - Stone Cold Crazy, Tuesday's Gone, Turn the Page, Whiskey in the Jar (take your pick) Megadeth - No More Mr. Nice Guy or Paranoid Type O Negative - Cinnamon Girl, Day Tripper, Black Sabbath (take your pick) Ministry - Lay Lady Lay Strapping Young Lad - Room 429 Soft Cell - Tainted Love Janis Joplin - Me and Bobby McGee Fear Factory - Cars Pearl Jam - Last Kiss Guns N Roses - Knockin on Heavens Door or Live and let Die And I'm sure that I'm forgetting some other ones
4112. Senor Savage: The Night - Disturbed
4113. eddie56120032003: Paul Simon wrote it about the assassination of JFK
4114. Banzowski: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Live Wacken 2013)
4115. darynx: For anyone who wants a great parody of this song check out "The sound of social justice"
4116. Eric Wilhelm: If this had the harmonies like the original I'd like it more. So that's why I like the original better.
4117. Cameron Monahan: In a way, these guys listening to this song is prophetic. You two are breaking a silence through your open mindedness that this song begs to happen. Interesting stuff.
4118. Rodney Steffan: Audioslave Set it off
4119. Rhonda Marie: +JDizaster it's better then Mr Clean witch i've heard from other reactors 😁
4120. mdav30: Do Afghan Whig's Gentlemen - you'll love it! One of the best songs of the 90s.
4121. M E N T A L G I A N T: IVE BEEN SAYING DAVID DRAIMAN LOOKS LIKE HOWIE MANDEL FOR YEARS
4122. dextc: "Cover of what!??" "We googled it and found out that Simon & Garfunkel did it"......... WHAT!? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 how can a fan of music not know this!????
4123. Sabin Acle: Most intense and perfect cover of all time
4124. Matthew Onstott: Hex One Where I’ll go
4125. WhiteCleats: Aw come on guys, I've been waiting for this one for ever and you two are ruining the mood with all your goofing around! But it's okay, I still love ya. ;) By the way, the album recording is easily the worst version. Disturbed live on Conan O'Brien or live with Myles Kennedy are the superior versions, so I'm a little bummed you went with this one, but still, listen to both in your spare time.
4126. Joseph Thrasher: you guys should do "Stricken" by Disturbed
4127. LedPESRule: Yep, there's a lot of classically trained Metal singers... Hell, Manowar did a "cover" of a quintessential Opera song with a little metal twist, it's quite awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6SssLxzg14
4128. SephL: Something different is Slipknot - The Nameless and it's something you want to listen to
4129. Zebulon Swearingen: Sam Very well said. I always have been fascinated with Simon & Garfunkel, especially taken with the literal thing that there are sounds heard during complete quiet. Personally, I hear a ringing in my right ear & constant difficult to describe subtle high-pitched “static”.
4130. john perry: im sorry my talking
4131. patkajape: DANZIG - MOTHER
4132. cockedhammer72: Excellent reaction vid , here's a parody not for kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ2qal-P5RI seriously watch it is da turd pov
4133. Evie D: Your videos are awesome!! Have you ever thought of the song “A Reason To Fight” by Disturbed? Also, anything by Alter Bridge or Tremonti!
4134. Matt Carter: before you paused at the 1:48 mark.. i was thinking he looked like 2 people in this song... 1st ine was dana white from UFC.. soon as i said he also looks like howie is when u paused and said he looked like howie 😂😂
4135. Trevius Rex: Very good, but I would recommend Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, originally by Nine Inch Nails, as the best cover ever. I don't remember if you guys may have already listened to it, but if not, you should.
4136. imaplatypus 007: In this river from black label society please
4137. Helios8: All of the yes!
4138. Donna Ransom: Still think he looks like Howie? Hahaha
4139. Spline Reticulator: I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, but I like the original song better. This one is too polished and comes off as kind of try-hard-ish to me. The original is more genuine in my eyes.
4140. Suzanne Marie: Silence in the face of injustice equals complicity. As someone who grew up with Simon and Garfunkel’s original version, I loved the song but felt it lacked the passion the lyrics seemed to demand. Disturbed’s version gives us that passion; this is a call to arms. This is a plea for reason! And this is highly relevant NOW! We ARE divided, we see our politicians fighting each other but not listening to each other’s point of view, we see Americans enraptured by their “neon god” (with orange hair), and as a result, we live in a country rife with social and racial desolation. What happened to the words of our prophets; Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, FDR, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy? Their voices have been lost ‘in the sound of silence.’
4141. snakehips3131: God I hate this song
4142. Stuart Pickup: Down With the Sickness (Disturbed)
4143. Kevin Pitre: no dislike just SMH cause you weren't into the art. I still watch ya'll but point is your reaction. and some times you try too hard .
4144. Andrew Roberts: Feelin the live version so much better.
4145. LGrugett: Worst cover ever.
4146. firefist x: I feel like maybe the sound of silence is about judgement like musicians writing songs that they are afraid to share due to the judgement of the audience
4147. JDizaster: I think you guys sold yourselves short by A) watching the video instead of just listening to the song (it's distracting AF), and B) stopping the video - I know that's part of your thing, but this song in particular is powerful because of how it grows and builds.
4148. w0g: That cover really added nothing interesting, I would rather hear Simon and Garfunkel any day. Guy has a good high range, but his low range sounds really contrived.
4149. Quad Clops: Still pushin for Audioslave - Like a Stone!
4150. Rodolfo Cedillo: Dystopia by TesseracT please!!!!!
4151. Alfie Morgan: Please listen to more Disturbed! David Draiman is so talented!
4152. Mandurath: Marc Broussard - Home Would like to see a reaction/review to this song/artist.
4153. Michael Richards: Dredg - Bug Eyes
4154. stapler: It sounds like George is a preacher trying to interpret scripture 🤔🤔🤔
4155. Bob The Boss Saget: This song is trash. NEXT.
4156. William Visnosky: Great job guys please do overkill by overkill
4157. Aknight292: The second word of the song is literally "darkness"
4158. WRproductions98: Cosmo pyke - Chronic sunshine, hes a young uk artist.
4159. Chad Killey: YES DISTURBED
4160. ziad rishmany: Guys.... Tool - Vicarious
4161. gordinaw: Steve Vai - Tender surrender
4162. DaP84: I really thought it was the Disturbed dude in the jury back when I first saw a TV show with Howie Mandel! ;D Thought so for a while.
4163. stewy37: Edwin Aguirre Stricken!
4164. Tom Holden: He used to be an opera singer. Incredible range, and interesting turn of genres.
4165. kevin williams: i been waitingggggggggggggggg
4166. John Strika: Lmfao
4167. g96: Porcupine tree - arriving somewhere but not here...
4168. AKI D 7030: Not sure if it's old but i really like another way to die
4169. Hampaaton Läski: Look up some paintings and shit, then you may understand the video :D
4170. Christos Fanaris: By the way the best cover of all time is By far.. And mean By far... Metallica - Am I Evil... its so similar to the original but with the tallica magic
4171. Michael Brown: David draiman is a fanomanal vocalist, my favorite song is called darkness. The depth that and range of his voice, I can feel the emotion of every note. Fantastic song , have a listen, please tell me what you think.
4172. Craig Miles: Didn't like the original version, don't like this version. Annoying song.
4173. olalj123: False idols?
4174. IR4TE: Thank you Kevin exactly my thoughts, but looking at the comments everywhere this cover comes up they pretty much bootlick it, and I don't get why people are so simple to please.
4175. Tyler Talley: Would really love to see another reaction to Nickelback! It's been a year! I think you guys would like "If Everyone Cared". You should also check out "Its a Great Day to be Alive" by Travis Tritt! Keep it up!
4176. ace frehley: This cover gave me goose bumps. Well done Disturbed
4177. Nando Silva: Trivium - The Revanchist!
4178. Nate Eller: In my opinion, "And the people bowed and prayed, To the neon God they Made" is the most important line in this song. Too me, it means that we have replaced God with things such as, Pop Culture, Technology, money.....etc etc.
4179. Kirk von der Heydt: If you want to try something different and unique review this video: https://youtu.be/v4xZUr0BEfE . It is called "Yuve Yuve Yu" by The Hu. The CC has the lyrics for what it is worth.
4180. rx7dude2006: This is much more passionate and powerful than the original and I love the original.He is a classically trained singer.
4181. Raymon D: Mac Miller - diablo promise banger
4182. Megan Formanek: Don’t blink by Kenny Chesney!
4183. BK Mark: Neon god = television. He is speaking to the loss of art due to the dumbing down of society and the boob tube. He saw it before TV was even prevalent in society. Paul Simon is a genius. First vid I’ve seen from you all. Love it. Good job.
4184. Jake Evans: Don’t Take the Girl by Tim McCgraw!
4185. Susan Zapata: Yes, people lost. Silence is peace (divinity). Darkness my old friend (has been here a long, long time) ...trying to convince me: Fools said (darkness said), "that silence like a cancer grows." Talking me out of my peace (divinity). A world of lost people - bowing to something (outside) false, they made. Why is this so powerful? It's reminding you to be you: peaceful /divine. For all the darkness - he did a brilliant job!
4186. Tenebris Rex: Lost in Vegas there is way too much hype on this drab cover. Simon and Garfunkel, who are folk singers, had far more depth and odd atmosphere than this "metal" vocalist. I am not impressed by this cover at all. It's boring. David should have at least paired himself with another vocalist to thicken what is supposed to be sung as a duet anyway. The video is just a self absorbed and stagnate Howie Mandel (I thought the same lol) look alike shouting into a colourless mirror. Side note: the meaning of "The Neon God" is the sensationalism of Celebrities who's names are written in neon lighting, this reference is dated as the old Stars of Hollywood once were light up in such a way, as were Broadway Stars. Now that light is symbolic of peoples worship of Celebrities in this age. Snore.
4187. sukie584: Blech. that anger is so forced. I'll take the original any day. This is like the equivalent of the singers who do vocal gymnastics that add nothing to the song but people eat it up.. so pedestrian.
4188. Joshua Graves: Please do Ghost - Year Zero
4189. Ryan Hanson: primus- these damn blue collar tweakers metallica- the thing that should not be
4190. Alan Leos: YAAAASSSSS
4191. Brent Cagala: Coheed and Cambria - The Dark Sentencer
4192. Nuggets, Boi: Agreed. It's overproduced, and I'm convinced there is some pitch correction involved.
4193. Ryan Ryan: Stop taking yourself so serious George....
4194. Jake Miller: I loved when you brought up the song being about people being ingenuine.
4195. Anton Chernetsov: do The Sound Of Silence cover by Bobaflex
4196. Connie Power: Random fact: Paul Simon wrote this song when he was 20 yrs old living with his parents. He would go into the bathroom to play his guitar because he liked the acoustics, and he would turn off the lights. The first line in the song "hello darkness, my old friend" is in reference to this.
4197. MrAdidas1980: Cold War?!?  Pretty sure I read it was about the Vietnam war, though I could be wrong, but I think you're war is incorrect!
4198. Creekboylloyd: Black Sabbath’s “hand of doom” is worth a listen
4199. clone120: Sepultura - Ratamahatta
4200. Collin Beal: Horrible cover of the song
4201. Jason Roe: You are all over it. This is a message to the world, let music reach you and by opening to the music you open to each other. (Simon and Garfunkel were at the end of the 60s peace movement and the origin of commercialized music) Neon God is pop, bubble gum, meaningless.
4202. Agustin Jauregui: you should check out stricken by disturbed, definitely my favorite by them, and that way you can also get a better look at the instrumental parts of the band
4203. Brad .M: Too bad they concentrated on the video and not the actual song. These guys aren't serious music critics what with making fun of his appearance before they ever had a chance to listen to him really sing.
4204. 123froozen: Anderson Paak - Tints(Ft.Kendick)
4205. Tenebris Rex: +Ryguypie17 will do, thank you.
4206. David Dickson Jr.: Yall should try to find some time to squeeze some Evanescence in here. You will not be disappointed. One of the most powerful voices ever!
4207. Billy Thomas: Actually the second best cover of this song...the best cover (and maybe best cover song ever) of The Sound of Silence is by Thomas Pederson
4208. Brian Humphrey: Their performance on the Conan O'Brien show was pretty great as well 😊
4209. Red Skeletons: Well if you’re not familiar with Disturbed start at the beginning (before a bunch of idiots start telling you their favorite obscure Disturbed song) check out ‘Stupify’ or ‘Down With The Sickness’
4210. No James lol ujCG y Behrends: Someone is getting a bit pretentious with his popularity....
4211. Richard The Cowardly Lion: I was going to say something similar, but also that they are both symptoms of the same problem. The smart phones of today are the neon signs and television of yesterday. Same problem, lack of human connection and the empathy that builds in a person.
4212. M Porten: Highly Suspect-Lydia please and thanks.
4213. Steven Huerta: Listen to the video of vocals only! Hard to believe but WAY more powerful!
4214. Michelle Richardson: This song was placed with photos/footage from 9 11... That is so moving and worth a watch...
4215. Richard Clayton: These clowns are not qualified to judge this song. They start by stating that they had very little familiarity with the original and anyone who claims to be a pop music critic who does not know Simon and Garfunkle is certainly lacking.
4216. Carleigh Ross: First time I ever heard this song was on the olympics, absolutely fell in love. Their routine was beautiful, the first and only ice skating that I was obsessed with, I still watch it. https://youtu.be/_279WWNbuv4
4217. ransom rotering: You guys should react to blood and thunder by mastodon! Super tight
4218. StupidGayBearName: Gotta do a Tom Waits tune, so many to choose from, think Downtown Train would get them going, love to see their reactions to bunch of his stuff. Like if ya wanna see the same, cheers.
4219. Dan C: I don't care what song, but you guys gotta do more Disturbed reactions!
4220. martin0815123: Sound of silence belongs to Simon and garfunkel, ist the shittiest cover of all time
4221. Nathan Hall: Hurt - Rapture would be a great pick for you guys to listen to. Awesome sound, outstanding lyrics.
4222. Jealous Gods: I've been trying to get them to react to it (preferably not the live version) lol
4223. Gumby Syring: Great reaction! I personally wasn’t a huge fan of this song but I can’t deny David Draiman’s amazing vocals. Dire Straits - The Planet of New Orleans It’s dope af I think yall will dig it
4224. D.J. Hicks: The video detracts from this song's true meaning.
4225. Kayla Napier: Please do a react for Highly Suspect Lydia
4226. gahrie: if you ever saw the movie The Graduate, you heard the original there. Simon and Garfunkel did the whole soundtrack for that movie
4227. Jason Young: The neon god they made, television, later the internet, mobile phones. People are focused on these tools and don't actually talk to each other, and silence like a cancer grows. I've seen people break off conversations so they can stand in silence and focus on a text message, I think this song predicted that.
4228. INTIMIDATOR0108: This has probably already been mentioned in the comments, but if you guys ever do Disturbed again, I recommend listening to either Down With The Sickness or 10,000 Fists.
4229. droid1963: sandbox242 This song was the first DDD song - recorded digitally, mastered digitally, and put on CD (digital format) - when it came out, and was overplayed in the hi-fi and audio industry. Killed it for me.
4230. Clairvoyant81: To me, the original is eerie, as you said, and also angry. IMO, the lyrics are about our inability to really communicate. People talking without speaking, hearing without listening etc. boils down to that people talk without really saying anything (not speaking) and are incapable of actually understanding someone else's point of view (not listening). Disturbed's version is pretty much kitsch, which just doesn't work for this song for me. I actually prefer Nevermore's cover of the song quite a bit, although it is really taking things very far... but that's how Nevermore's covers of Simon&Garfunkel always are. Still, they fit the meaning of the covered songs a lot better, IMO. So, if you want a nice contrast to this, check out Nevermore's cover.
4231. Keep Calm and Hakuna Matata: React to Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen
4232. Joop Berkhout: Honeys, nightwish..
4233. Scream Bloody Gore #DeathMetal: Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face Behemoth - Ov Fire & The Void Opeth - Blackwater Park Death - Lack of Comprehension
4234. jmilb10053: Simon and Garfunkel live in Central park version is the best version of this song.
4235. Leboman: This isn't a bad but it isn't even close to being the best cover ever.
4236. Kimberly Simpkins: I liked Peter Holland and Tim Court's version they stuck more to the original but with more layering of his and Tim s voice and it was all just those two singing it should check it out
4237. andrew kennedy: The nevermore version is better imo.
4238. Juan Carlos Ascanio: Entombed “Wolverine Blues”
4239. Griffen Jenkins: You should react to chris knight. I would recommend beckys bible, enough rope or down the river. He doesnt get nearly enough attention for the stories he tells that will just tear you up inside.
4240. Tim Morrell: This is coldest cover of a song by far that voice is literally disturbing in a good way excuse the pun but it makes you feel like stuff really is messed up like the lyrics discuss
4241. Jordan Ryan: Theres better disturbed songs lol.
4242. Muschel Schubser: Don't you think it is actually Disturbed who get to decide how they "truly" sound? Whenever I read stuff by fans mouthing off about their faves, I think of low farts in high wind...
4243. Janne Kari: i like fat chicks
4244. Cory Seronick: Slipknot-Eyeless
4245. Kaylib Jones: Please do this
4246. Baron Ghede: Disturbed sucks, but this is a good cover
4247. SevenOneFive: The next Disturbed song you should listen to is "Down With the Sickness", it's a RIDICULOUS contrast from this.
4248. Daniel Nevarez: Puya - Erizo or Numbed or Oasis. Time for some Latin Metal. Make it happen.
4249. Andreas Meyer: Skindred - Kill the Power!
4250. Tomasz Antochów: Please react more to Disturbed. Disturbed is one of, if not the most popular metal band in recent years. You have done quite some digging into the genre, but i think it would be good to experiment with the popular sounds as well, that way you can paint more of a picture of the sound for yourself and you can form better judgements. Also, disturbed is quite unlike you have ever heard, coming from a fan that subbed when you had 20k subscribers :)
4251. Xplicit 275: It was a song from the famous film The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman
4252. The Hellblazer: This is far from the best cover of all time. It's okay but Johnny Cash's Hurt cover and Dead Kennedy's viva Las Vegas are better then this for sure, but that's just one persons opinion
4253. Chris Wooldridge: +Gleb Mikhalev Over 4 octaves is pretty good range. It's not Rob Halford or Freddie Mercury, but it's nothing to scoff at.
4254. Chris Heim: Really need to do the bad wolves cover of zombie probably up there with this song if not more
4255. Sontar: Keep in mind the time when the song was actually written.
4256. bogartleeblues: Listen to the entire song before you react. Incredibly annoying that you keep interrupting.
4257. Keith Howells: great coverbut i like the NEVERMORE cover better and think you guys will enjoy it too! https://youtu.be/2Tuls4GTebs
4258. Ryan Baker: Fiiiiinallly! Lol. Good stuff. Aaaaand stiiiiillll. NOTHING MORE - This Is The Time.
4259. Myke Vasko: Audioslave like a stone...
4260. MrTruth76: Original is timeless
4261. colton marlette: Anything from Poppy would be great!
4262. David and Laura Klochko: Caligulas Horse - Dream The Dead
4263. Nathan Rush: People's minds are so warped in technology that 2 people can make conversation but only one is physically listening the one on the cell phone just brushes the other person off that an awkward silence falls on both of them
4264. Curtis Smith: I think Simon and Garfunkel one is better this isn't bad I just think the original in this case is better
4265. Tom Turek: No
4266. Nate Currah: Give Disturbed- A Reason to Fight a try, one off of newest album release last week!
4267. Luke Cowley: Shoulda done the live version with myles Kennedy. Suggestion: slash-anastasia
4268. Lisa Smith: This song has transcended time relevant then and again now..
4269. Charity Dalton Crowley: "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd covered by SHINEDOWN or really any SHINEDOWN, would be great!
4270. Oilid: Best "The Sound of Silence" cover ➡️ Kmac and Drewsif!!!!
4271. imshannon nottellin: they are bringing the music back to the masses
4272. mjw4000: Parkway Drive- Wishing Wells
4273. grjt4: The live version of this song featuring Myles Kennedy is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3By4DZyTNM
4274. billy bones: my man breaking the stereotypes rockin the golden knights lid
4275. WeIsDaTyrantz: Symphony X - Nevermore!
4276. Jason: DaMangs you have to be joking?
4277. Brian Daniels: Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other." It sounds like the original was a warning and this cover is the anger and frustration caused by not heeding that warning.
4278. Demolition_Backhand: They should watch the live performance.
4279. Razor44: I spit coffee on my keyboard when you said he looks like Howie Mandel. LMFAO
4280. Davide Leardi: Please try to react to some SAVATAGE songs, I suggest you start with "When the crowds are gone", "Gutter ballet" or "Edge of thorns", I seriously think you will like them...
4281. Ayeew Tasko: Best cover = Johnny Cash - Hurt!! And yes, I know you've already reacted to it ;)
4282. Scott ?: I really don’t get why people like this song so much. Sounds like shit to me. Not a good first Disturbed song.
4283. JM1990: I can't even listen to this version after hearing Disturbed do it live on Conan. People should have requested that one, Its so much more powerful than the music video. I also believe this destroys the original and I'm usually a hater of covers and remakes in any media
4284. mrgarina: Orphaned Land!!!!
4285. Alec Bromero: CHON - Perfect Pillow
4286. Silver Mercy: explain yourself after the video, instead of knowing you piss people off and pausing anyways. -_-
4287. Greatdivider2001: He can sing, that's for sure.
4288. Chris Myers: The Agenda- galaktikon
4289. Dennis Saran: the whole original Sound of Silence LP was one of the darkest albums of the mid 60's ... spend a bit of time with that record fellas.(not for a reaction vid, but just for your own listening pleasure.) i dig what you guys do.
4290. Evan Hubler: Oasis - Champagne Supernova
4291. John Palmer: Believe--Brooks & Dunn
4292. TheEnd: you guys... SUCK
4293. Susan Crawford: Stop pausing the video....it's Disturbing...
4294. smithg63: Listen to some earlier Disturbed and you’ll appreciate the song more.
4295. Eddie Trucker: Decapitated - Nhility
4296. Espen Totland: Flatbush Zombies - U&I
4297. JordanJamesAW: They did a live version of this with Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy that's worth a listen.
4298. rahul martis: Nib-type o negetive the best cover ever
4299. gwolfe333: This song is awesome live as well. David has a great voice.
4300. JMG Darkest: Avenged Sevenfold- Buried Alive one of their bests!!!
4301. Lisa Burris: Paul Simon wrote this song during the Vietnam war. During a time of great division, much like now with the left and right.
4302. Kathleen: While I totally appreciate your reactions, and understand the stopping of the video, I hope you both give it a listen/watch w/o stopping the video. It's such a powerful rendition w/o the need to overthink. And I double recommend the Conan live version, just for your own sakes.
4303. Jeremiah Prine: Since you fellas did Simple Man, will you give Shinedown’s cover of Simple Man?
4304. Savage Snayle: this is the shit version not the original version.
4305. Supersonic Sarcasm: I like this cover way more than the original
4306. M: Slipknot.. Snuff!! Yes please!!
4307. Jared Lindsay: Disturbed down with the sickness
4308. Justin Greene: To me the dark vibe created and the changes to the instrumental make this way better than the original. The lyrics are too dark for the upbeat feel of the original and it doesn’t mesh well at all. Amazing cover and done better than the original. The tone doesn’t match the vernacular in the original.
4309. caseydog3: This dude did an EXCELLENT job of this song!!
4310. GWAILIN: Can't believe you did this one. Bravo! *grabs tissue*
4311. Mirko: You should check how Nevermore covered this song :)
4312. sAcrEd666 _: The original was more folk, Disturbed version is definitely more powerful
4313. Nobdy Doh: +TOAOM123 I used to think the same. But ultimately I think that is the point. Replace "fruit" with "song" in the analogy. Apples and oranges are both fruit but definitely different flavors.
4314. Nacho: bro! this cover is trash. they ruin this song.wtf are you talking about?
4315. eodmike33: The neon god in the original version is the television What it means now is up to interpretation
4316. Nick Chucky: Steve Vai - Tender Surrender!!! It start smooth with a Jazzy vibe, to pass through a Bluesy moment, to definitely jump into Heavy Rock until the end.
4317. Russell bailey: The HU Band-Wolf Totem
4318. WEWARD: This remake isn’t good. I’m sorry.
4319. seen123: Sam Bentham When you’ve been listening to and are in love with music for 40 plus years, the sheer volume of accumulated information alone makes for a more discerning ear. Also, other artists do what ‘Disturbed’ is trying to do with more artistic nuance Tom Waits and Nick Cave for example.
4320. Butay: Thank you for saying Howie mendell. I actually made a gif of myself with howie's and this guys face on mine with before and after the sickness signed below lol
4321. Jl Melrose: Disturbed most famous song is Down with the Sickness...may want to react to that.
4322. Jonathan Noriega: Chevelle - The Red or Vitamin R or The Clincher
4323. scidgy: the under statement of the year
4324. Azazyel: Just thank you. I love your view on this, it expanded mine
4325. xPanic attackx: Check out Falling in Reverse Losing my Mind and Losing my Life
4326. Elizabeth Salvatore: I have one for you, as you seem to like the more unique songs, song by people you would not normally associate a song with, this is an oldie, MacArthur park by Richard Harris (actor) Figure it out, it is a song you will spend a lot of time trying to understand what it means. original 60s version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRwYQgk05DY Donna Summer disco version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF_o7aSjl_E
4327. Ara Kawa: Please react to their other songs
4328. Martin Eriksson: Nocturnalia - Lady of the Woods Its not a known band or song but its great, litte bit like pink floyd
4329. Veronica Lake: Your Looking At Good & Evil In Life........
4330. Sean Coleman: FIRE FROM THE GODS - EXCUSE ME. Is a good song to react to
4331. qazrapt: Muse - Stockholm syndrome
4332. Dylon Person: Chris Stapleton's Fire Away with the music video
4333. Dillon Bucci: how about listening to the whole song before u talk about it and try to find out what its about.. annoying
4334. Brandon Olsen: Do pearl jam black
4335. J L: James Brown The original is still relevant. This cover is embarrassingly bad.
4336. Stephen: You want an awesome metal cover? Listen to Beat It by Raintime.
4337. Scuzzbopper: Zombie by Bad Wolves is another really really good cover.
4338. odirocks: Audioslave - Show me how to live
4339. Jarl Trippin': Having heard some of Disturbed's catalogue (Stricken and Indestructible are fucking bangers... just sayin') I found this song extremely uncomfortable to listen to. I kinda like it but it just feels... awkward. Anyone else relate?
4340. FusionfallHQ5000: You should learn some respect
4341. Connman: Definitely check out Stricken by Disturbed to get more of a feel for their normal sound. Then this song will be more surprising.
4342. Michelle Frost: This song is all about the meaning of music...
4343. philipem1000: I hated your interruptions but you NAILED the meaning of the song. It is about the alienation of society and how people cannot connect, one speaks nothing important, one is not heard, one reaches out and is unheard, and the neon god is technology. "And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, tenement halls (Grafitti) and whispered in the sound of silence... " The Simon and Garfunkel version is less angry and in some ways more creepy because of the contrast between the music and the lyrics; this is angry and dark and powerful. I am told but dont know for sure that Paul Simon has said this is a better version than the original. It is the ONLY cover of that song that I think has made the song new and deeper...
4344. Susan B: tv is the neon god
4345. aldersmoke1: I'm glad you dug into the lyrics. Paul Simon is one of the very best songwriters of the last century. Right behind Bob Dylan.
4346. metch: but you guys dont have enough good reactions check out some more 90s grunge bands.
