The nu-metal mainstays have covered the unlikeliest of songs.
Here, allow me to use this tweet to set things up and share my feelings on the subject:
*hears that Disturbed has covered "The Sound of Silence"*

Full disclosure: my first steady job on the radio was hosting a show that helped break bands like Disturbed. They’re an act that, in my opinion, are very good at what they do, which is crank out bone-crushing nu-metal hits. So hearing them cover Simon & Garfunkel sounds borderline comical to me.

Here are a few other opinions on the subject. Feel free to share yours.
