As if the Disturbed lead singer wasn't bad enough already..

[SAWYER]

now he goes and butchers/over sings Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence..ughhhhhhhh

The original is great, the remake is straight garbage. Yeah this isnt brand new thing but I just heard the remake

 

[11thHour]

I completely agree. It sewer quality piss poor ear drum breaking refuse, that will probably make about 100x more money than S&G's version ever did. Music is in a sorry state when a song like that succeeds.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Disagree. I liked the remake.

If you want to listen to a bad remake of S&G there's the Lemonheads' version of Mrs. Robinson. That sucked.

 

[twinrider1]

I like it, which is surprising. I usually can't stand hard rock remakes. Limp Bizkit doing Floyd....Five Finger Death Punch doing Bad Company...couldn't stand them.

Not that I'd ever pick it over the original, but I don't mind if I find it on the radio.

 

[freeskier93]

Sounds fine to me, then again I'm no Simon and Garfunkel fan.

 

[SP33Demon]

I liked it. A bit more emotion than the original. The original is still great though.

Not a big S&G fan, but already this discussion with someone on the wife's side of the family. They thought it was the greatest thing ever and I pointed out they were dumbshits and just wrong. The original is haunting...the remake...growls like some shitty late 90s Dodge Neon trying to get up to speed.

We don't get invited to many family get togethers. *win*

But it is better than fivefingerfugnuts

Really? That's the one you complain about? There's been a shitload of rock remakes of classic songs that ruin the original impact because of the genre change, and you whine about the one that actually keeps the same emotion and feeling intact? There's not even any electric guitar like you'd expect, it's acoustic guitar and piano... I think it's a shitload better than most remakes.

You wanna hear a shitty remake of a song, listen to this gem:

Some covers I like and the Disturbed version of this song is good in its own right. I also like the Mumford and Sons version if the boxer, another S & G song.

Surprisingly, I will say the Stone Sour covers of the Stones and Metallica are pretty damn good - have heard them both in the car and been straight up fooled until catching some vocals.

Oddly, I like this one as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxYVEQVn20c (Eleanor Rigby, covered by Godhead)

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I recently discovered this cover
Motorhead Sympathy for the Devil

I like it

That's awesome :thumbsup:

I'm going to make it my mission to share that sonic brilliance with everyone I know.

edit: Brian Johnson can't sing for AC/DC anymore. Perfect, they already have a great replacement lined up and ready to rock!

 

[reallyscrued]

It wouldn't be a bad cover if the vocal pitch correction wasn't so painfully audible. Kills the feeling of emotion for me.

Wow, it looks like they did a whole album of remakes. Wretched.

Every song sounds like the Cookie Monster is singing.

I doubt there was much pitch correction, if any at all. I've seen Disturbed live more than once and the singer doesn't need, or use, any artificial pitch correction.

Stone Sour's cover of Gimmie Shelter is great, love hearing Lzzy Hale screaming on it.

Have you ever heard David sing live? Seriously he would rather piss on an auto tuner then use one. There was a tad bit of excessive echo\reverb yes but that was for effect. I could detect zero auto correction.

He is just kind of naturally pitchy. Then again, I suppose that is one of the distinctions with his voice. I'm not really much of a Disturbed fan, but I think they did a pretty decent job with it.

 

[FerrelGeek]

Totally agree. I like S&G, but this remake puts more emotion into the song and captures the despair in the vision.

BTW, there are a couple live versions of this out there and they sound really good as well.

I liked it. A bit more emotion than the original. The original is still great though.

Remake is ok. Original is better imo.

I am not a fan of that performance.
