I love this version of Sound of Silence. If you don't know Disturbed, you have to watch it right through to get the full impact.....(says me anyway lol).
Something I found on the topic.... "Paul Simon has heard Disturbedâs cover of his Simon & Garfunkel classic âThe Sound of Silenceâ â and he enjoyed it enough to reach out to singer David Draiman and tell him so."
Draiman shared word of his interaction with Simon after the band delivered a performance of âThe Sound of Silenceâ during its March 28 appearance on Conan. Simon saw the show and sent Draiman an email shortly after, saying, âReally powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time Iâd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks.â Understandably enthused by Simonâs encouragement, Draiman posted a screenshot of the email on the bandâs Facebook page, as well as his response.
âMr. Simon, I am honored beyond words,â wrote Draiman. âWe only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/ us and we are eternally grateful.â
