Dan and Victor ...the dynamic duo. This was Dan 'doing his Dan thing' and gave us a Christmas gift we wont forget. He respects the lyrics of his covers and emphasises their meaning. Thus "peace" was emphasised with an ethereal tone, "Fall on your knees" and "chains he shall break" were sung commandingly .. and the earth shook as he sang "let us all within us" when. the sinful entity within us is also called on to Praise. Dan finished the carol with joy on his face while his magical voice brought forth the triumph and power enclosed in the lyrics . "O Holy Night" .
Victor the Guitar Nerd played all the instruments. 😊 this really had me laughing my first listen! It keeps getting better the more i listen to it .. i think Dan and Victor really excelled on this one. 😊
I was driving the first time I heard this when it dropped. I, too, laughed the first time through. I had to park just so I could watch it again (properly).😂
@KerryNelsonART -- I was laughing the first time through, as well...not that it was FUNNY. I was laughing in TRIUMPH, and yelling, "YES! GO DAN!" I'm so happy to see reactions like this one. Of course, Viking did a wonderful reaction, and Josh (Meaningfully Vacant) did, as well (with his hair down). Such fun! I sent a Reactr request for it, to see how Matt (Game t Changer) likes it. I think he'll really GET it, too. I sure hope so. He's another one who really FEELS the music...the best reactors always do. 😀
Yup, when Dan Vasc does his thing to music, it definitely catches us off guard! Loved your reaction to Dan Vasc doing Dan Vasc things to music....subbed for Dan Vasc!
Absolutely the most triumphantly majestic homage to Christ! Oh Holy Night NEEDED Dan and Victor to infuse the true power and glory into this ole’ Christmas carol! Oh Holy Wow 🤩 They were magnificent! Thank you for a great reaction! Merry Christmas ❤
Watch enough of Dan and you will figure out his formula - altho he does insert a surprise you aren't expecting in this one! His skill is just simply awe inspiring!
Yeah, and no matter how well you think you've figured out his formula, you can think you're prepared, but you're not, and next song he's gonna change his formula, simply because that's what he does.
That's an insane vocal performance. Dan and Victor are amazing musicians and they just did a phenomenal job together. Nice reaction. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
The guitarist is his friend Victor the Guitar Nerd. He's amazing. I heard that he said that he would never show his face with Dan because Dan was cuter...lol
Great reaction. Yep, Dan is a God for sure. Really though, you need to check out the instrumentalist here, "Victor the Guitar Nerd". The man is an absolute musical genius as well as being a ridiculously phenomenal guitarist!!. His UA-cam channel has LOADS of mindblowing stuff on it. His covers are gold, his originals are exquisite. He deserves everyone's love and support too❤
Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings in the comment section, but this actually doesn't sound good at all... Too many different styles in one song and it also sounds incredibly autotuned... So sorry, but I actually don't understand the hype with Dan in general and he has definitely ruined this song.
I understand this is not for everyone and of course you’re entitled not to like it. I personally think it’s epic. I’m only reacting to this comment to emphatically state that Dan does NOT use autotune. If you really listen to his voice you can hear him at times being ever so slightly under or above a note. This would not happen with autotune.
Dan definitely does not use auto-tune! I've heard him on livestreams, and he sounds just as good on those as he does on the videos he releases. What part of "he's had ten years of formal voice lessons!" do you not understand? I love how you knew that your take is awful and that you are going to get rightfully roasted for it! Kudos to you for owning that anyway. As for "too many styles", there have been only four other versions of this song that I truly liked; the rest were just "meh" at best and awful at worst. I've always liked the song lyrically, but most people sing it too soft and too wimpy. It's a celebration of the birth of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour! Dan and Victor finally gave the world a version that reflects all the power and glory and wonder that that event requires. First version ever that I truly love!
@@HelmaOsmond Appreciate your reply 👍🏼 I wrote "sounds autotuned" and maybe I should have specified a little more what I meant by that... Dan's voice sounds metallic and no nuances to my ears + all recordings / songs with Dan all sound the same... So sorry, but as you write , we can’t all think alike :) // Merry Christmas 🎅🏼🥂
@@HelmaOsmond Yes, and I think it's extremely funny that @jvs9467 thought it was autotuned, when a bunch of others have wondered if he was singing FLAT in the first part. He wasn't...either one. What he WAS doing was letting us see how the song usually feels to HIM, when it's under-sung, so traditionally that it's lost any of its original sparkle. Carlos (Viking) thought that maybe for the lack of vibrato at first. Actually, though, the vibrato is there...he just graded it down for the lower notes that he doesn't usually choose (though obviously he CAN, and so richly, too). But he NEEDED to have that first part be slightly tentative, in order for us all to fully appreciate the end parts. GREAT STUFF, DAN! 😀
Agreed! Holy Spirit is ALWAYS telling me how much They LOVE Dan. What's sad, though, is that some of the people who were watching last night couldn't even SEE that. In my head, just now, as I wrote that last line, I suddenly saw the comparison of the excited young man who was just turning 30, in 2018, declaring his faith at the end of his cover of "For All," where he was so excited that Roy Kahn was back to singing praises to God for all to hear, mixed with this slightly older (now just turned 34) young man really going the distance and giving God ALL the wonderful GLORY he can. How can Father, Son, and Holy Spirit NOT love this man, right?! 😀
That's the way to sing "Christ is the Lord!" Like an earthquake! These two geniuses! Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Natal, Feliz Navidad, Buon Natale, God Jul!
You might like Dan's rendition to "Sweet Child 'O Mine" by GNR (he stays pretty close to the original) or his rendition of "Zombie" (a cover of Bad Wolves cover of The Cranberries). On your intro I noticed that your were a roadie for GNR and The Cranberries. His Journey covers are great too. Really love his 80's covers.
I was blown away. (Still am) Victor even played for us the most gentle solo (that still rocked) I've ever heard from him yet. All Dan styles covered gloriously!. Nice reaction!
@karenm5681 that was extra special gift 🎁 over on his channel. Absolutely beautiful! Imo, the solo he did in O Holy Night was surprisingly gentle, yet rocking, I guess like Country Rock. I admired his strength to hold back, bc he likes to rip it good & free through awesome sauce.
You got me to sub. I was watching to see how you were going to take the whole thing, and you did GREAT! Thank you very much for a really super reaction. I loved watching the different emotions as you went through everything. 😀
We have been blessed with two great singers in recent times, who raise our vibration by their tones. Dan and Dimash and of course Victor with the guitar, he can make music sing. ❤️❤️❤️🌹

Dan and Victor nailed it... fantastic video. But we never expect any less from them.. ❤ WOW
Thanks for the great reaction. Dan is so versatile and ways worth a listen. Merry Christmas 🎄🤘

Dan is amazing, this video is wonderful and the " earthquake " with his growl is great ! Victor is awsome too ! Merry Christmas for you ! 😊
Dan was toying with us, you could see it in his eyes.
Victor the Guitar Nerd did a great job on this one playing all the instruments.
Amazing as usual! Thank you for a great reaction. You were suggested, new sub! Please do more Dan because he has some absolutely amazing stuff!
A brilliant rendition by Dan and Victor! What an amazing voice😳❤ Looking forward to more Dan reactions, thankyou😃

Nothing more I can say, Dan and Victor are amazing! Thank you for your reaction to these two power houses.

How to sing Praise and Glory, loud and proud metal style.. emphasising the words and phrases by giving each section it's own style... Magnificent
I was blown away. (Still am)
Victor even played for us the most gentle solo (that still rocked) I've ever heard from him yet.
All Dan styles covered gloriously!.
Nice reaction!
Do you mean Victor’s “Silent Night” on his channel?
@karenm5681 that was extra special gift 🎁 over on his channel. Absolutely beautiful!
Imo, the solo he did in O Holy Night was surprisingly gentle, yet rocking, I guess like Country Rock.
I admired his strength to hold back, bc he likes to rip it good & free through awesome sauce.

Absolutely!
Isn't Dan just the best Christmas present ever?!?!
Hes super good!
In respect to music, only second part is metal.Dan is cristian
The King of Vocals!!!
We have been blessed with two great singers in recent times, who raise our vibration by their tones. Dan and Dimash and of course Victor with the guitar, he can make music sing. ❤️❤️❤️🌹
Gotta love Dan Vasc - SO talented ❤
