One of the greatest covers I have ever heard. I was going to pass on it when I saw it as a recommended video for me. Then I thought, "Hey, maybe it'll be good for a laugh". I was wrong. Basically from the first note my jaw dropped. I literally had chills running down my spine, especially that last verse. To this day, I get chills on that verse. Played it at least 10 times, even called my wife in to hear this. The singer, David Draiman is classically trained believe it or not. What a voice. I crank it up whenever it comes on. I think I have about 4 versions, this and some live ones.

I was not a fan of this version initially but the more I listened to it, I was impressed by how well they did it. I also listened to an interview with Draiman and he said that he was very intimidated at first by the popularity of the song. It drove him to near perfection because he was determined to make it the best he could possibly do. In the end he got a call from Paul Simon who congratulated him and the band on their work.

I read a comment that said S & G's version was a warning. Disturbed's is the anger that the warning was not heeded.
 
Agree, one of the young 20 year old techs who worked for me at Harley used to play music from Disturbed back in 2000. I'm a '70 H.S. grad so their music was a bit gutteral but it grew on me. Then when this first came out 5 years ago it seemed sacreligious because it was after all Simon & Garfunkle's tune. However it's much more appropriate today and Draiman does it beautifully.
