Blown away by this music: Disturbed group

qualitygal — Sat, 26 Feb 2022 10:31:23 GMT

That is their name. Guess 6 yrs ago they made this song. The Sound of Silence. It's so good to me. Really like the way he sings this. Never heard it before I heard it on a show of 2 very good ice skaters. I had to see who this was. So today, I'll have to search this group out.

The last one I learned about here, was Pentatonix. Still a favorite of mine too.

Still wish we had a music or entertainment forum on here. They gave us gamers years back. Still wishing for this.

Anyway, some of you may know this group. The singer, need to find his name out. On goes the search.

This was 2 thumbs up to me.

A heavy metal band doing the Sounds of Silence? I just cant imagine.

That was done by Simon and Garfunkle in the 60's. A very mellow soft song.

My husband had this video on not long ago and I was just in awe with the video and the recording of the song! It was truly truly amazing! And yes, I do love Pentatonix, too! Do you like soft jazz music? I don't know if you do but I occasionally put it on the t.v. - we have Comcast - and they have a wonderful soft jazz channel on. So many good people --- Boney James, Walter Beasley, Peter White, The Rippingtons, etc., etc.

I love Disturbed’s version and the original too. Very different though.

I didn't expect to like the video when I first heard about it because Disturbed is a little heavy for my taste but I was completely mesmerized by their version of this song.

I have used Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence as my ringtone off and on for a few years. His voice is outstanding.

@qualitygal,

I heard it several years ago and I think once you hear it you never forget it. It is chilling but totally meaningful to the words.

I also love the original Simon and Garfunkel version but Disturbed's is a great interpretation too.

This song was played at my brother's funeral in 1969. I truly never thought anyone could ever sing this song that would rival the Simon and Garfunkel version....until I heard this by Disturbed. The passion and emotion brings me to tears.

This verson is a wonderful recording! I became aware of it severay years ago.

It seems like the artist has classical training.

@grandma petes Your post brought me to tears. I don't I know this version of this song which is beautiful. I will though now.

I'd never heard this version before now. A much different vibe than Simon and Garfunkle's original. This one is very dark and powerful.

It's very well done - the vocalist has a marvelous voice. His piercings, on the other hand...made me wince!

Thanks for sharing this.

Respect to SG for writing the song, ISS for the incredible photos, and Disturbed's DD for this amazing interpretation. Thanks @qualitygal without your post I would have missed this treasure.

I've heard the Disturbed version several times. Yes, its quite different. In my opinion, no one can sing it like Simon and Garfunkle. It's always been a favorite of mine so I think that's why I have trouble enjoying anyone else's version.

I absolutely love Simon and Garfunkel's original. It takes me back to my youth. Disturbed's cover is very good and the NASA video is awe-inspiring.
