FIRST TIME HEARING The Sound Of Silence by Disturbed REACTION

finally people who don't interrupt the song for 10 seconds to say something meaningless. 👍🤘🤘

I have lost count of how many times I've watched this video. It still gives me chills and tears. The video intensifies the meaning of the song.

Wow, straight in, no long, irrelevant intro. No interrupting every 5 seconds. I think that I might have found my reaction channel.

Possibly the best cover of all time!

Paul Simon said that Disturbed's version of his song was what it should have been in the first place. It's the only cover that he's given his stamp of approval to.

I love watching peoples facial changes during the song.

I've watched scores of reaction videos of this song, Yours is the only video that plays the video first and discusses it after. I like the approach .

The best part of their commentary is that they let the performance finish before stating their opinions instead of interrupting the song every few seconds like some other people do. Thanks and keep up this method in the future.

This song is basically a requirement for any music reaction channel, and I love watching how different people respond to it. I can spend a whole evening just watching different versions. I found it absolutely fascinating watching you guys. I've never seen anyone betray so little as they watched. Loved the historical context from the original song and the interpretations of the lyrics as well!

They way the song should be sung. With poewr and strong raw emotion.

I love the interpretation of this that Disturbed has, so different from the original - the first time I heard it, I was shocked at the anger but I was also so much more cognizant of the actual words versus when I listened to the original.

Listening to you guys talking about the artistry and philosophical implications of this song’s lyrics (which is often overlooked by reactors), I strongly recommend you check out the band Tool, if you’re not already familiar. Their music is deep, complex, philosophical (and sometimes simultaneously angry or even just silly), and very, very open to interpretation. They are also inhumanly talented musicians, all 4 of them. Many first-timers start with “The Pot”, but it’s not even close to their “best” song. Would sub immediately if you embark on a Tool journey. The “Tool army” usually shows up in droves, if you want to grow your channel. BTW, I’m a spine surgeon myself. And yes, I listen to Tool in the OR. 😁

I didn’t think it was a Viking ship. I thought it was more like Noah’s Ark, carrying the instruments and music and art into the future, even though they tried to silenced them

My favourite version of this song by a blue mile! 🌟🧡🌟

Gotta check out their performance on Conan, even better!

Listen to LIVE version on Conan! even better!!!

Excellent review. May I recommend, 'Into the Light' it's more heavy metal but has a good message. Disturbed deals a lot in mental and social issues. If you haven't been exposed to the acapella groups two I recommend are: Home Free (country based) and Voice Play (known for theatrical videos).

David Draiman... imho one of the best male vocalists on the planet. He has everything in that voice of his.... beauty, power, range and control. Can sing rich baritone and clear beautiful tenor... not to mention the power of his "distortion" , on which he can actually put vibrato ... which is incredibly difficult to do. Worth mentioning his fantastic performance.

The lyrics of the song are expressed with grit and the well-understood message takes on an added meaning

The Neon Gods..... following the powerful and ignoring the ones who are exposing the truth of society and situations... the prophets (urban poets) who write the graphity on the subway and walls... the messages that come out from the poorest areas. We follow the IDOLS produced by the industry of music... and ignore the real artists making music and expressing the reality of life.

In these times, the cell phone is the neon god.

Paul Simon heard this and said without doubt the best cover ever of this song, ours was a warning this was the punch in the throat to bring it home. Stay safe from UK.

Todd Hoffman does an excellent cover of this song with his videography accompanying the song, but this is my favorite because of the passion behind David Michael Draiman’s voice.

"I want to see what else Disturbed has done". 5 minutes later: OO WA HA HA HA

Old gods vs new gods? OMG,.they the same. Figure this out people. This is how the god communicated. Word, music, thoughts... It isn't complicated.

Not a WORD for the entire song 🤦‍♀....I've heard the song and watched the video (and reactions) many times. I was hoping for a REACTION (not an analysis...at the end) DURING THE VIDEO. For those that want NO INTERRUPTIONS?? Go to THE ORIGINAL Artist's release on YT or whichever streaming service you watch.

LA ESTUPIDEZ HUMANA TRANSFORMADA EN HUMILDAD, ABSOLUTAMENTE ESTALLA EN LA CONCIENCIA Y ELEVA LOS SENTIMIENTOS, MARAVILLOSAMENTE INTERPRETADA, ARRANCANDO DEL ALMA LA MEDIOCRIDAD. SUBLIME, VOZ Y MÚSICA UNICA, ETERNA.

Isn't that just phenomenal? One of my favorite covers of all time! I'm here checking out your BTS reactions, but had to watch this one. It's the only thing I've obsessed over, besides the guys, in the last two years. The live of this from the Conan show is definitely worth a watch, whether you react to it or not.💜

Neon God = the TV. This song is about man's disconnect with man.

Simon & Garfunkel's version of this song was a plea to people to unplug from technology, at that time TV, and return to communicating with others. This version is pissed off people didn't listen to the message. Look where we are now. Nothing but technology and no compassion or empathy for our brothers and sisters in this world.

Strongly disagree with the analysis of the video. The video portrays a post-apocalyptic world in which music has died off. The journey of the video begins with the uncovering of various musical instruments. It then begins to focus on those who write music and shows that a world without music and musical instruments is a silent world. Lastly, the world understands the importance music plays in rebuilding and the video shows the journey of those who play music to reunite with those who write music, thus the first step in bring a nearly dead world back from the brink of annihilation. Another message we must take from this video is the importance of keeping music alive in our schools. Music programs are always among the first to go when budget issues arise and cuts need to be made. I was a “jock” in HS and I’ve raised two boys, one an accomplished athlete the other an accomplished musician. We must always fight to keep music alive!! 🙏💙🙏

Interesting to see Grant's visceral responses. This song affects me the same way, every time.

David has the most beautiful voice. I love it and he is a cutie

Love following you on your journey. Another incredible Cover of this song you must hear is from an A Capella Group called Pentatonix. You will love them!!! 😳🔥♥️🇬🇧

I had a few comments But All I'm going to say is this and I know you both will agree. Anton chekhov said the role of the artist is not to answer questions but to ask them.

The live version performed on Conan O'Brien is far superior to the official video

I agree with most comments here, and highly recommend "Into the Light" and "Hold On To Memmories" before diving deeper into the older Disturbed selections. Going unprepared into their older, heavy metal and imagery can be both shocking and disturbing for those unprepared! Peace.😊

If you like this kind of redefining cover of hit sings then perhaps look at Johnny Cash doing 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails or John Farnham doing 'Help' by The Beatles (preferably with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra from 1989, which is by far the best live version)

I love this. Their live version with Myles Kennedy in Houston is absolutely a must. Even if you don't react to it. Trust me. It is so beautiful

Until the end of the music video, I had the feeling that those two guys had made a bet on who could watch and listen for longer with a straight face. I’d give an award to both of them. For a moment, I thought the right window was a still image, not a video, but then one of them moved a little (and the other blinked).

tl dr: blank stare..... blank stare.... blank stare... overwhelming reaction and inspired insight. The end.

Try their Hold On To Memories.

Watch the sound of silence by Pentatonix

He trained for 5 years as a Jewish cantor. Amazing.

Not sure if you have seen Pentatonix but you should watch their cover of this song… magnificent!! Disturbed is also one of my favorites with PTX just edging them out, in my opinion. ❤

I didn't like your reaction! No emotion, stone faces! I watched 3 minutes of the video and I'm running away from you!

I definitely had a different understanding than Dr Myles. Also, saw the last clip as the musicians joining the folks with the sheet music in order to make music -

What it means to me is that we worship the worldly things and not God. We make money and material things our God.

Loved the reaction! Just one small suggestion if you don't mind - I think you should try to find a different way to show yourselves during the song itself. It was a tiny bit disconcerting or something to see you staring straight out of the screen at the viewer. Maybe a slightly different off-angle camera? I think it could go a long way. Just a suggestion!

The Ark of instruments was being delivered to those that held the sheet music.

I read that the lead singer was classically trained!

🤗

Love the musicians finding their instruments. One picks up a musical composition. In the end the musicians cross the casem to reach the composers. I'm betting they weren't silent anymore.

It was better when they did this on Conan.

I looked through your reactions and I didn't see THE most reacted to song ever....Nightwish, Ghost Love Score-live at Wacken 2013 (must be that version)

I love the live version even better

Excelllent reaction

Good discussion. Love how you guys think, so maybe you'd like to listen to Morissette Amon's version of "Could You Be Messiah", a song from a musical written by Freddie Santos entitled "First Name". This song was written by Gary Valenciano with words by Freddie Santos. I'd love to hear your reaction to this song. Thanks!

This rendition is so much better than the original. I love this.

React to Bollywood song Ghar more pardesiya ❤

Love your reactions and response. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

Best reaction ever!!! Thank you!

Live on Conan was amazing. I’m a metal lady. I listen to Disturbed. Amazing band. ❤

Very nice reaction guys. Disturbed is a heavy metal band that do not normally sound mellow like in this video. Some of their tunes you could tryout are; 1. Stricken 2. 10000 Fists 3. Down With the Sickness 4. Indestructible ... and many others. Enjoy.

I think there are words used that I call fillers, at the same time, keto the theme on tract and this weird are not meant literally like the 'neon gods'. The word Neon helps with the theme but if you take it out and just have "gods they made" its more to the point and of course the 'Gods' we make a a society will change with time for example right now could reference Hollywood star, social media, ourself, etc. Some people try to take every word literally and then lose context of it as a whole.

Hah basics - Shut down the transmitter so the receiver has a chance!

Y'all did a great reaction 👏 😊

First time I saw a reaction video in which the reactors went through the entire experience with less reaction than a shop window mannequin

You have to listen to the LIVE version on the Conan chat show , for me its 50% better than the video
