The Sound of Silence - Disturbed - Cole Rolland (feat. Steve Glasford) 

I'm honored to have been part of this cover. It's an amazing opportunity to work with such an amazing artist. Cole, thanks again for letting me perform one of my favorite songs. I love the original by Simon & Garfunkel and Disturbed did such an outstanding job covering their masterpiece. I hope you all enjoy Cole's and my rendition of the Disturbed version!

Dude, your voice is on one level with Chester Bennington. So much power, it gave me goosebumps.

Steve at 3:05 🙌

Disturbed....Gave this song a modern "sadness" and despair feeling that you feel in your gut, your heart. This cover flat out rocks ! Different but as good!

This is what I always wanted this sound to sound like. This is the best version of the song. Period.

That voice, amazing

Every time I watch this video I get Goosebumps. EVERY TIME.

I want this guy in my band... holy fuck his voice is just amazing, it's so unique

Hello darkness, my old friend 😈

This is clearly the best metal cover.

One of my favorite songs out there. Even 7 years has passed

I'm 46 and heard that song every Sunday while the parents made breakfast. That's a great tribute to a song that should've been more hard. Thanks and great rendition.

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed In the wells of silence 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 sound of silence

This is the best cover ever in the historie of music

absolutely insane this should be playing on every radio station in the world

2020. Still rockin during covid... Fitting....

This is what I expected when I heard that Disturbed was making a cover. I dont wanna say I was 100% disappointed, but this......this makes the disturbed cover look so soft.

Good Lord, boy, this is amazing. Great cover, great performance. Thanks.

I stumbled on this again and i still have to say I love the way you guys are putting it together. It brings tears to my eyes every time I heat it.

I've probably posted a comment or two before and can't remember. But this version is TIMELESS!!! I'm still coming back to this cover even to this day. When I'm streaming my gaming on twitch, when I'm at home with family and just wanting to chill to some good music, this is usually one of the first I put on. I WISH that I could play as good as that. I wish I had the gear to record stuff as clear and professional as this. I wish a lot of things, but man, its so good to listen to this that I'll have to settle with living my music vicariously through you, Cole, and the ones you perform with. Keep it up, you are my guitar idol.

Original : fine Disturbed: awesome Your coverup : insane!

Cole Rolland is a genius putting this one together. When listening over and over noticing the subtleties in the audio track. Very well done.

******WOW****** Phrkkkkkkkkkkk One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Disturbed would and should be totally impressed. AMAZING - total respect ✊🏼

For all of the "metal" covers of this song, this is the only one I've seen that actually hits the mark Most people are trying to be S&G and slather some metal on top - and while perhaps that has its own allure - you two managed to innovate without losing the spirit of the original.

HOLY SHIT The singer is insane

Steve's amazing voice with Cole's impeccable guitar work this is what disturbs cover could have been this was fantastic loved every second of it

Steve! You are awesome! I used to watch your videos when you recorded guitar covers with a crappy camera and an acoustic guitar! Didn't realize you are still going and have a band now! Subbed!

My mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby. I just played it for her... Tears.😁

This cover is now available on iTunes, Google Play and Spotify everyone! Thanks for all of your great comments so far 🤘☺️ geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/sound-silence-feat.-steve/id1120570505?mt=1&app=music

How is this not all over the radio?? Incredible.

Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence 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 whisper'd in the sounds of silence

I'm a 50 yr old MOFO I've heard this song redone by many. This was very well recovered. Two thumbs up guys!!!

I was so hoping this would good... and Steve absolutely fucking NAILED IT. I got a smile on my face at 1:30. Jesus christ that was awesome!

My grandfather passed recently this song is the only thing keeping me from having a mental breakdown and screaming for him. God bless you for helping me through this hard time. Thank you so much.

amazing... good job brother. thank you from indonesia. god bless you

..these youtubers are our future guitar legends..best cover of the original yet..hands down..that voice🙌

This is my favorite version of the song by far. And the only version I've heard that actually ends with the WORD silence instead of cutting out (to silence) before saying it. Steve Glasford is awesome but it was actually hearing Cole Rolland come in with ACTUAL ROCK AND ROLL that made me say "Gotta buy this on itunes". Which actually led to me buying the album it's THAT GOOD.

Love Steve´s Voice

This is actually closer to what I would've expected from a Disturbed cover of "Sound of Silence". Good work, keep it up.

You two together are ......Unbelievable....Amazing. I've never heard better...anywhere!

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. I LUV IT. AND IT STILL HOLDS THAT GUT WRENCHING FEELING THAT DISTURBED HAD. GR8 JOB.

You seriously blow any guitarists from the 80's and 90's right out of the water!!! You are phenomenal!!!!

I like the sound of guitar is awesome

I've listened to lots of people play (or attempt to play) this,but this is by far the best I've come across.Cole man...you chose a great vocal partner. you guys nailed it!

Really nice job. It's almost like an impossible mix of different artists all at once. Really cool sound.

How I miss this cover....😳 Gorgeous vocals and of course amazing guitar.... Disturbed is one of a kind... Well I feel young again ❤

damn man! every time timei hear this I get chills! you make one hell of a team. rock on Cole.👍

Ok this brings back memories of this year (I am from Brunei btw and it's corona-free so I don't want any "Ohh... You got corona, Ohh.. America is best place to live in!!) My teacher used to play this. It didn't move me till the first November for my final exam. It moved me when I passed the exam all thanks to my St Georges Teachers.

Subscribed, I'm glad to see metal is alive and well even in the 21st century blues and rock are still kicking ass 😀

Still in awe... The guy on the guitar is stone cold bad a$$ and I could listen to Cole for years!

best musician duo on youtube, wish you'd make more music like this

Such beautiful song and amizing voice

Disturbed version is amazing but yours so epic and I love this song

No matter what the "public" thinks. If Steve and cole enjoy this then that's all that matters. I think this is the best version of any remake made. The heart these guys show is phenomenal! Keep it up guys!

A cover of a cover?

3:12 makes me chill because of how perfect it is

Àwesome Füķ'ň cover of Disturbed's cover , was always a favorite of mine with Simon & Garfunkel as a kid, then i heard Disturbed's cover of it and thought it was great but it should've been more in the style like this cover. you two are awesome together . I agree you 2 should do Behind Blue Eyes . great work guys .

The best version ive ever heard.. salute to you steve glasford

Luv the original, but how can you not like this version. - 👍

@Steveglasford is a insane Magical force of Voice and this is my favorite Artist of Vocals and You @Colerolland are Killing it all and I love it 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥

That is pretty much about as bad ass as it gets

Not that anyone cares, I'm 51 and have been rocking since the 70's. This guy has a FANTASTIC rock voice, and can really belt them out. News flash, all this music on RU-vid is digitally mixed and adjusted.

Cover of a cover, how meta.

guys. you are amazing... and i fell in love with Steve's voice.

wow respect I'm Blown Away

dés le debut on sait que cette version est exceptionnelle...quelle voix ....bravo

would you guys be able to do behind blue eyes?

Love to hear that dude sing it live!

This is the best version of that song I have ever heard. Just wanted to know what kind of ESP and pickups are you using in this video? You inspire me to continue learning and I know I may never be as good as you are but I will never give up playing, thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

Aug 2024 still listening ❤ #so good!!

Okay this makes me want to remove my cover of this song on youtube.. Dude.. This IS f** amazing.... Standing F** Ovation!!!

Tight. Turn this up! Bass, rythem and lead are perfect.

steve sounds like a musical god

The cover of that song you guys did was so amazing it gave me goosebumps and chills and made hair on my arm stick up how culling you guys did that virgins of that song and one more thing it was very tasteful how your guys parts with the and singing and guitar together were right on the point

great voice.

worth watching over and over.. and over again.

...DAMN! That was AWESOME!

Fantastic guitarist. Those vocals...!

Not a hate comment but i would like to ask you Cole if Steve is using auto-tune.

every poem pronounced very clearly and understandably .., nice👍🏼👍🏼😀😀

Can you do Silent Waters by Amorphis please?

What a beauuuuuuuuuuutifull voice!!

I get hyped everytime I see you upload

Best cover of this song i have ever heard...

Why is Disturbed in the title but not Simon and Garfunkel?

Cole, you and Steve brought tears to my eyes with this one. You guys should do The Light from Disturbed. It would be epic. Actually you two should do several Disturbed songs!

Lots of my friends have seen the Disturbed cover....and lots of my friends have also seen this version and like it better. Steve, Cole...awesome

This is SOOO beautiful that I have no other words to describe its glorious tune.

IF you guys can hear reverbs, echoes and all that stuff (autotune for idiots who believe this is autotune) then why you cant hear the true and beautiful voice behind edit. I can hear it and its amazing and with all of that postprocceses its absolutely perfect.. cause when you dont have a perfect voice then reverb and echoe will never help you to build an amazing final stuff like this. Sorry for my "english"

geez.... the vocalist is really good!!!!

Steve Glasford is the man! He's such a talented but underrated singer. I hope everyone check some out and Subs to his channel

Can't stop listening to this!

Him: Hello darkness my old friend Darkness: Who said I'm your friend?

The guitar is so smooth in this. Awesome. The guy singing has a great voice for this song. I think it is a song worthy of anyone that can attempt to sing it as it's a great classic. I thought Disturbed did this song rather well, but now I have a new favorite remake of it.

Disturbed's Version is really good. Yours is fuckin' epic!!! 💪😎😈

this singer is amazing! he is denied his true recognition

If this vocalist, does not know Aaron Lewis. Im Santa Claus... It sounds like they are brothers.. Wow...

Amazingly talented duo, fantastic

darkness still being my friend because im alone

this cover is the best so far i love disturbed but that was everything i wished they had done
