When it comes to Disturbed and their controversial cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence, Russell Crowe is certainly entertained.
It’s not the first time that the Russellus Maximus has aired his love for the cover.
Back when the song dropped in 2016 Crowe tweeted that “every now and then someone comes along and redefines genius.”
While ‘genius’ certainly isn’t the label we would put on it, there’s no denying the enormity of the song – so much so, that with the current COVID-19 pandemic the band have re-released a music video for the song, featuring healthcare workers on the frontline.
Of course, Crowe had his take on the cover once again.
“Perhaps the greatest rock vocal ever,”, Tweeted Crowe.
“Thank you”, responded the band. We truly are in an era where giants roam the earth.
