Daily reminder that people regularly listen to pic related on a daily basis and it is now more popular than the original, if you google "The sound of silence" it is the first result and says "song by disturbed"

>>127155098 (OP)
wow

>>127155098 (OP)
>people regularly listen to pic related on a daily basis
106th song from 2015 yesterday on Spotify

>I CAN FEEL IT COMING IN THE AIR TONIGHT

>>127155098 (OP)
Eastern Euro national anthem

>>127155098 (OP)
what is that disgusting style gen-x'ers had called? They all had that triangular stripe of hair that looked like shit on their chin .

>>127155367

being from eastern europe, why is this song so popular? I don't get it. His howling-like-singing is annoying and and it sounds like he's emulating pearl jam or creed or someting.

>>127155098 (OP)
I prefer the actual sound of silence to this band of twats

>>127155098 (OP)
kill me

>>127155098 (OP)

how do people like this over-the-top theatrics? Its like a song someone would come up on a america's got talent show to showcase their vocal abilities (and I think even this guy uses pitch correction here). Its dramatic, but in a overproduced corny way. Its the musical equivalent of those stupid wolf t-shirts.

>>127155367
Really? Oof slavs have bad taste, and I say that as a slav

'sounds of silence' would not have been a hit for simon and garfunkel and there literally would be no simon and garfunkel if a studio tech didn't, without paul simon's awareness, add drums and bass to the acoustic track to jump on the folk rock wave.

>>127155098 (OP)
What are some other covers that overtook the original? Two more that come to mind are Johnny Cash's Hurt and maybe Gary Jules' Mad World

>>127155098 (OP)
normies gonna normie

>>127157825
probably whitney houston's "i will always love you," despite being massively inferior to dolly's original

>>127157825
Valerie - Amy Winehouse.

>>127157825
All along the watchtower
Hallelujah
Tainted love(although the 1960's original is far superior than the synth pop one)

>>127155098 (OP)
you missed the real story.
instead of 'duh, new artist is more popular than old one'
real story: song that was 50 years old at the time of cover version becomes big hit.
has any other uber-old song become so big recently? i can't think of any (besides maybe a period song from a movie or something ...... see 'o brother' soundtrack etc.)

>>127157825
Can't live by maria carey

>>127155098 (OP)
cyraxx version is the real one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27hSd2N6IP0

>>127157960
I hate being aware that people like this exist because it reminds me that life has no safety net, some people are just doomed from birth, life gets worse, then they die and there's nothing they or anyone else could've done about it

>>127158053
he's not doomed, once he sues nword boi and william gloryhole hes set for life with millions from his music and merch sales.

It was never a good song. Whiny, whimpering, weak, wet, and without payoff.

>>127155098 (OP)
This guy had top grades in school despite being a troublemaker and changing school several times, once because he set the school on fire. A true rebel.

He can bench 800 pounds.

He once beat up two nazis who bullied him, he might've killed one of them.

He's been with many women.

He beat Chuck Norris in a 1v1.

>>127158053
you shouldnt feel sorry for cyraxx, he hardly qualifies as human

>>127157844
Oh yeah that's a solid pick
>>127157870
Kinda crazy that they were only a year apart too
>>127157882
Honestly I wasn't aware of the 1960's original, without that comment I would've thought this was about Marilyn Manson covering the synth pop one wow. I do like the original after giving it a listen
>>127157932
That's a good fit too

>>127157825
Got my mind set on you by George Harrison
You keep me Hanging On as covered by multiple artists and all the covers are more popular than the original, ouch
Time is on my side Rolling Stones
Hush Deep Purple

>>127155098 (OP)
this song is like some brave new world shit that proved the lyrics of the song. people care more about some angry looking dude with a gruff voice doing a cover than what the lyrics mean.

You guys normally have fucking great taste in music, explain this fucking horseshit right the fuck now

>>127155098 (OP)
My dad blasts this song and Evanescence's Bring Me To Life on repeat while painting his historical wargame models.

>>127158053
it's worse realizing that's oneself

>>127158053
Tf are you talking about? That retard has accomplished more than you ever will.

>>127155098 (OP)
One of the worst bands of all time.

>>127155098 (OP)
A really disturbing performance if I say so myself

>>127155150
yeah dumbass, there are a lot of songs

>>127162421
With one of the worst frontmen of all time to boot, both as a vocalist and as a person.

>>127155098 (OP)
God it sucks shit
Whenever I visit my boomer parents in their boomer neighborhood their boomer neighbor is always blasting this and some other buttrock out by their pool while. The literal embodiment of the boomer with a monster out grilling

>>127155808
The Soul Patch.

they like this song cause they think it's about cell phones

>>127164552
More like The Soulless Patch amirite
Just like their music

>>127164555
Paul Simon predicted cell phones

>>127157825

>>127164573
that guy was one smart cookie

>>127155098 (OP)
i fucking loathe the original just the same

>>127164925
yeah not a fan of it or bridge over troubled water, way too melodramatic

I despise this cover as much as the next guy
but I can't get too mad because Simon And Garfunkle suck shit and it's hilarious that their legacy is being sullied this way

>>127155098 (OP)
I remember in my last year of high school they made us watch a mini ted talk type thing about car safety, and they played this song over a montage of people crashing and dying.

>>127165003
Should've gone with this

>sings The Sounds of Silence
>supports mass murder
hypocrite cunt

>>127165045
this your first jew?

>>127155098 (OP)
It's weird for a numetal band's most popular song to be a completely un-metal sappy cover of a melancholic song. This'd be like if there was a billion-times-streamed Adele cover by Slipknot.

>>127158145
...and his music still sucks

>>127155098 (OP)
I actually like Limp Bizkit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" better, too.

>>127158053
that's pretty fucking metal

>>127158298
oh damn who did Hush originally? I always thought the Kila Shaker version was better than Deep Purple.

here's the most tragic example I could think of
wet wet wet's version of love is all around is way more popular than the original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6tpFbGXlo&list=RDFo6tpFbGXlo&start_radio=1

went from a cute little intimate vulnerable ditty to a piece of overblown bullshit

>>127155098 (OP)
