My favorite in this thread. Live is even better.
I go back and forth on this. It seems like a completely different song than the original. Comparing the voices of Art Garfunkel and David Draiman is like apples and oranges.My favorite in this thread. Live is even better.
It's Disturbed doing Sound of Silence if you dont want to click.
Yet Draiman tried as hard as he could to be true to the original. That's a 7 minute interview about the making of the cover.I go back and forth on this. It seems like a completely different song than the original. Comparing the voices of Art Garfunkel and David Draiman is like apples and oranges.
Here is a fun reaction to this song. Love who they think Draiman reminds them of. They forget to to take into account where the lyrics originally came from. It was a 60s protest song.
I will have to look at that interview. My thought about the difference is the power in his voice that he finishes the song with, it's a NTTAWWT, it's just not the tone of S&G. It works, to me it's just different.Yet Draiman tried as hard as he could to be true to the original. That's a 7 minute interview about the making of the cover.I go back and forth on this.

I agree about the power of his voice. He makes Simon and Art harmonizing sound like teenage boys. When he growls "prayed".... that did it for me. Much prefer Disturbed to the original.I will have to look at that interview.
