Dan Vasc -Go The Distance (First Time Reaction)

/ playagain2022

[@shirleyemrick1700]

Vasc Nation is trying so hard to help him achieve his dream of a million subs, no one deserves to get there more than Dan! Thank you for your constant support of Dan, it’s really appreciated!

[@user-xp5cz2dp8w]

Yes!! Hail Vasc Nation! ❤❤❤

[@romypie3725]

Yes, we’re counting down every single subscription he gets, it’s been a while but as he says in this song it’s worth waiting ’cause this day will come and we all will celebrate with him. He’s worked so hard for many years without giving up his dream, he’s an example to all of us in so many ways, and mostly i believe for the great guy he is, humble with a very good heart…it’s impossible not to love him, no matter you’re a man or a woman.

[@shirleyemrick1700]

@@romypie3725 I agree with you completely!

[@cheryla3958]

This was amazing! Not much to say….we have watched him go from a skinny boy of 20 to a handsome man, now in his 30s. We have been able to watch him not only grow physically but mature musically! 🎶Awesome cover as only Dan can do! Bravo Dan and Bravo to you for the awesome and sincere reaction. Waiting for the next one…🎶🎶🎶

[@kimchaney7732]

This sums Dan up in a nutshell so beautifully put together. I am honored to be a part of his journey even though I just subscribed to him in October of 2023. I am still honored to be a part of it.

[@RightWriter]

Same here, except I found him in August 2023.

[@shirleyemrick1700]

I started listening to Dan about five years ago. He has always had such a beautiful voice, and it just amazes me how he just keeps getting better and better!

[@cclarke9301]

I found him in December and I’ve been grateful every day since.

[@kimchaney7732]

@@cclarke9301 I have over 200 of his covers on my playlist from him. I have enjoyed every one of them. He's working on something now one of them is My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and the other I am not sure and I am excited for those songs to drop. I can't wait.

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Same here. Introduced to Dan's "Amazing Grace" months ago, but subscribed when he did "O Holy Night" and I discovered the treasure trove of songs he'd done already like Nessun Dorma. His versatility is just astounding. It's part of my daily routine now to listen to something he's done and sometimes several times. Love his music, personality, etc.

[@slowfud]

And all those old videos are still there for us to enjoy the distance...

[@margijohnson5728]

Dan's early days weren't easy. It took him having to reach rock bottom emotionally, to get up and face the world with a "vengeance"! His rise to greater things shows how his tenacity and determination have brought him to this place. I just love his voice and his persona❤❤ I wish him God's blessings in his life henceforth. Thankyou for your reaction😃

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Extremely well-said. 😀

[@mamalinhager]

❤ he is so, so beautiful. He touches the heart, the mind and soul. He is one of a kind... ❤ Found him 7 or so years ago. Am totally addicted to this man, his voice, ... can not find enough words... thank you for your reaction....

[@karenlutz9391]

Omgosh I love that so much! So much admiration for a person who sets a goal and just doesn’t let himself waver. Thank goodness he never stopped…yes, destined for greatness!! So inspiring watching the evolution…

[@zsuzsanna1416]

"My heart is poundig" too. Thank you for your great reaction. Dan Vasc is a wonderful artist and a wonderful person. ❤

[@kayjohnson8377]

I knew he was destined for greatness the first time I heard him. Perfection in each song he performs.

[@valerialopesdesouza8357]

Dan is Amazing brilliant 🇧🇷🇧🇷🤟🤟

[@vvinww]

So brilliant! And so moving, tears here. He is a great example for others, me, to go on, follow your dreams.

[@user-rz6lr7bg7t]

I love this cover and what it means to Dan. Seeing him growing up following his dreams. Just amazing.

[@user-xp5cz2dp8w]

Thank you for your great reaction again. The first part of the video is 13 years ago. Dan was 21 years old. ❤ Rio-Brazil

[@firelite5338]

I could easily watch you react to Dan 24/7 ...your appreciation of this awsum human being fills mine and so many hearts with joy. Thank you again...we need more, so much more, Enter the Sandman, Kickstart my Heart, Fearless songs, theres over 200 songs on YT...lets push him through that million xxxx

[@SmallTownMusicFreak]

Great way to start the new year! I love this video and seeing how far Dan has come since the DragonForce Singer Audition days. So curious to see how he celebrates hitting 1,000,000 subscribers!

[@debrapugh6799]

He's so YOUNG... Just GO'S to show you what determination he has... IT'S contagious... Very cool✌❤🤜🤛

[@tjw1972]

This is such a perfect video from Dan describing his strong desire to 'go the distance'. This makes my heart want to burst for Dan and what he has achieved and is still continuing to achieve because of his strong desire to get there and his work ethic to ensure it happens. It's proof that a goal desired is a goal worth working for! What a great reaction. ♥

[@RickiNavarro288]

Exactly! I have such strong "mama bear" reactions to YOUR reactions to "my boy" Daniel! Such a fabulous artist and a beautiful man. Climb ever higher!

[@hyacinththompson5096]

That is what Dan is made of pure determination...love this video..Dan is the BOSS as he puts his special and unique input in all his covers..he makes these covers his own..❤💕

[@susanblauss1530]

Tears here..that was masterful. ❤Dan

[@user-rq6uu6jr9e]

I'm so thankful for your reactions to Dan. Its evident that you're a fan too and it makes us so thankful. I'm crying tears of joy right now, to have been able to watch him grow up into such a good strong Christian man. What a role model for our young people. Thanks again for making it possible for us to share this as vascnation. We build each other up

[@victoriadaversa6808]

He is an absolute genius ❤ absolutely! Thank you so much for such a beautiful reaction ❤

[@-Lilian-1]

I like this,that you can see where he come from and what he is now. I love this. He deserves those one million subs, he should have them a long time ago, I think..Thank you from let see this❣🥰🥰

[@jamesleasure8836]

You're right, this was -- Dan IS -- f*cking brilliant! And the best singer out there. Perfection.

[@alannaturner6758]

Wow, made me alittle emotional, Dan is just a Dream & a beautiful song & Dan's voice has a amazing range, like I said b4, keep Dan on play ▶️ & a great reaction from you as always💙☮️🤘

[@bernicequanchi8134]

❤Dan WILL be famous and yes destined for greatness, even forget his voice, it's his humanity and the hard work and luv for his craft, such love and emotion and determination 🎉🎉

[@suenelson6219]

Loved this reaction to a unique music video. Your reactions to Dan's music are heaven to watch and entertaining in their own right. We can watch music and vocal teachers react to Dan's videos and explain the intricacies of his amazing talent. BUT you give us the perspective from a layman's point of view and also someone who respects Dan for his efforts, his challenges, his glorious music and as a person who deserves their privacy as much as you and I do. Thank you for a wonderful insight into and appreciation of Dan's masterful video.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

YES!

[@raskalkat9092]

Dan just proves that with hard work, dedication & a passion for your dreams/goals - you can reach your desired heights. I cannot wait to see what's next. Great reaction. Hail Vasc-Nation ❤️🤘✝️

[@carmelitanobre8737]

It's so good to see how far did he got through. Very well deserved. Dan Vasc is just far beyond amazing. Loved how he put his all into this song. Beautiful and touching. Thanks for your lovely and perfect reaction. Awesome.

[@djnozland]

Loved watching your face reflect everything Dan’s fans feel when first discovering this. After discovering Dan, there’s just no way to watch this without running amok with emotions. Amazement, awe and respect that ends in a righteous fist-bump salute to his perseverance! Had he not, had he given up… the notion of this void is abhorrent to think of. If there were magic buttons to push, wands to wave, words to say that would grant Dan his 1M subs tomorrow, we his fans would have pushed, waved and spoken him there yesterday! Truly enjoyed this reaction, I always do as you’re a fanatic too and it always shows. Thank you. 😊

[@cgreeny03]

I love this clip, going from the young Dan to the beautiful man he has become touches my heart every single time.

[@cclarke9301]

I can’t understand why there isn’t well over a million subscribers. He is an absolute genius in so fkn many ways. Something I have to say too. He’s so adorable at the end of his videos. I can’t help it, he just is.

[@TheAnnestube]

Thank you for yet another fantastic reaction to Dan. Your surprise at what you were about to watch, when you saw the first image, was only overtaken by your pure enthusiasm as the video progressed. And you are so right, if ANYONE was destined for greatness, it's Dan. It is evident beyond doubts he has been gifted with an incredible talent for music and a divine voice, which laid the natural foundation for his soul's dream. But it's also very clear, that if he hadn't had the strength and determination of spirit to work as hard as he did through all the years, he might have become a good singer, but not the master he became. But also, we also know no matter how hard he would've worked, had he not had the gift of sheer talent from the start, he would've been just like so many of the musicians we see in the mainstream industry today.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

I agree, and it also makes me think of his family--including both his mother and father. From what I've heard Davi say on HIS channel, he and Dan have had similar hurdles standing in their way over the years, but due to how they were brought up, they've jumped them, and gone right on around the track. I intend, for the rest of MY years and miles and miles of track left to me, to be blessed watching and listening to THEIR years and miles and miles of track...as long as they'll let us...and I hope that will still be a very long way out into the future.

[@danikaPTY]

Goosebumps when His name melts with th instrumental. Daniel truly worked hard, not only music whise, but emotional & intelectual. His voice almost breaks, but its just what it needed.

[@joanholman3105]

Wonderful stuff. Dry eye in the house? Anybody?

[@rjross1087]

Nope.

[@shirleyemrick1700]

No😢😢😢!!

[@TheAnnestube]

No tears here, I couldn't help but laugh at young Dan's wild jumping and headbanging - so sweet. And his humbleness in his outro is very endearing. He's an awesome rolemodel for young aspiring musicians.

[@joanholman3105]

@@TheAnnestube I can relate. I had 5 teenage boys in the 80’s. To say I can relate is a huuuge understatement! He’s a very sweet man.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@joanholman3105 I relate to both sides of that picture. Every time I go back and watch the old videos and/or listen to THIS one (again and again), I get both the laughter and the fun, and the "mama" and now "grandma" thing going (we have six kids, 22 grandkids, and five great-grandkids). However, I still don't have dry eyes when this song gets over (and I watch it often). But then...I'm that way, as my own kids and grandkids know. It doesn't take much to make my eyes started watering...which doesn't mean I'm not a WARRIOR, which is the other reason I relate to Dan and his work.

[@mlincoln1]

i know you react to a lot of dan's covers, and am surprised that you have not run into this before now. it is truly precious. those of us who have watched him for the last few years can really feel like we watched him grow into the talented and confident performer that he has become. it is truly inspirational. thanks for reacting; had not seen it in a while.

[@user-sd6rg4xm6w]

I so agree Dan was destined for greatness . He is a genius …..thank you for this heartfelt reaction

[@kristinabassi4215]

Every song is an experience. A really strong arrangement, plus the incredible voice and in general the journey with Dan Vasc is safe ❤️

BEAUTIFUL!! His voice is fantastic! He sings from his heart, which is BEAUTIFUL!!

[@dahpainter]

His first audition is still available to watch! He says it's terrible. I'll just say that he's come a long way. Lol It's fun to check out where his fabulous KZbin journey began - can't wait to see where it goes next! 🫡

[@irisradinger1632]

Totally agree with you! Great reaction, thank you from Germany!

[@elainecherry7765]

Thanks for reacting to this one. I haven't watched it in a long while, but I was still moved to see it again. You really should go and watch that first video he made and then check out his 3rd video, Living on a Prayer (he has remade that one since then). His Dad paid for him to have voice lessons after the Dragon Force audition cover and he stuck to them. You can hear the progression in his singing skills. It's an amazing transformation. Love that you appreciate him like the rest of us do and I hope to keep hearing more.

[@sandycox2058]

Dragon Force missed their chance by not hiring him but then I guess we wouldn't have all his beautiful covers to enjoy. I watched a clip of him doing keyboard work for his next cover. Looks like it is going to be Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction!

[@karinkrenn]

This sounds interesting

[@sandycox2058]

@@karinkrenn Not my favorite song but I am sure Dan will make it amazing!

[@karinkrenn]

​@@sandycox2058I'm 100 % with you here

[@TheAnnestube]

​@@sandycox2058 agree, but then Dan has managed to make me enjoy heavy metal in a way i never did before, and he's made me LOVE songs I've never cared for in their original form - so i have no doubt he can make that song legendary in a way that Celine never could.

[@joettamcqueen1954]

Sandy, which platform was the video clip on? I missed it.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Right there with you. Every time I go back and binge on this again, it lifts me up. I'm glad you waited until now! Often, after the holidays, there are a lot of people who end up in a slump, for at least a while. This song is definitely a lifter. Thank you for another wonderful Dan reaction, sir. I really, really, REALLY enjoy your insights into music in general, but more than anything, into Dan's music.

[@karinkrenn]

😂 These pictures give all those people something to think who assume his current success happened by accident. He has a beautiful flattering voice here. ❤ And for example in "Dawn over a new world" he is at least my favorite DragonForce singer. 😉 This was a beautiful reaction - thank you. 🎶

[@mamalinhager]

He has worked his behind off to get where he is... so proud of him.

[@donnafarran5326]

[@user-hc1ln1kg5u]

Great reaction. He is something special.

[@rjross1087]

Great stuff, eh? A testament to his talent, genius, and fierce determination. When this was made, in 2018, he was still very far away from his goal, and now, in early 2024, he’s almost there. What an inspirational guy. BTW, I recently took a look at the Siege of Paris video, where he does four vocal parts. I was pleasantly surprised by his creativity, his voice then, and his already sophisticated editing skills. It’s worth a look. Thanks so much for putting this on - it’s a great start to the year. I’m so looking forward to Dan’s one millionth subscriber video!

[@TheAnnestube]

Yes, it in indeed a wonderful inspirational start of the year. He's already there, he's living his dream every single day, doing exactly what he wants and loves. His 1mill subscribers is just a goal, a steppingstone on the path - it's not his destination.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@TheAnnestube I agree! I always think of it as his "interim" goal. I cannot imagine Dan intending to stop everything when the 1M mark hits, and saying goodbye to everyone! I really don't think so...uh-uh! 😀

[@tamminovian4617]

Beautiful!

[@user-mt3cg8by8j]

Thank you for that reaction , it brought tears to my eyes when you see now how far he has come, come on lets help Dan beat Gary ( Nerdrotic ) for 1 million subs, friendly competition between them , if Dan loses he has to sing ( man buns are gay and so am I ) composed by Gary , Lol subscribe to Dan's channel PLEASE , ❤Australia

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

I've been thinking about that. I have absolutely NO DOUBT that even if Dan "loses the bet" and does NOT get to 1M subs before Gary does, Dan (being Dan) will already have figured out the perfect way to sing that song...and...YET... That thought just keeps coming into my head. We all know he never gives up, and he tells US all not to. Dan, if necessary, will make a "loss" into the greatest WIN, ever! 😀

[@user-mt3cg8by8j]

That my friend is a very true statement , Gary is at 956 k and Dan is at 941 k but Dan started 30 k behind Gary , and there is no doubt in my mind either that the song WILL BE EPIC....IF he loses , cross your fingers 🤞he WINS...❤@@GrandmasGotGraceLW

[@firelite5338]

What another awsum reaction Dans early days sounded so good even back then. Dan is just incredible

[@user-vq9xs5hv2i]

Thank you for your emotional reaction to an epic song by Dan. The look on your face at the beginning made me grin. No more words are needed...❤❤❤

[@leighstevens1075]

If Im not mistaken he was 20 in the first clip. From the little I know, it hasnt been an easy journey. Am very grateful he had the strength to fight the demons and achieve the success hes earned. Im saddened, selfishly, that he doesnt produce very much music anymore. Hope he doesnt disappear altogether. Loved your review of this. Expressed my own feelings about this perfectly.❤

[@SmallTownMusicFreak]

He did the weekly grind to build up his channel to a place where he wouldn’t have to do the grind anymore. He put so much of his life on hold to do that, and now, he’s closing in on 1M subscribers, he’s in position to do passion projects - original music with Eric July and Fearless, the Manowar tribute album, other covers. No need to be sad or worry about him going anywhere. The man is doing exactly what he was born to do, and he’s not going anywhere.

[@leighstevens1075]

Im aware of his other projects. It wasnt a criticism; no one would expect any performer to.keep that pace up; particularly as he does almost all the behind the mic stuff too. I was referring to his you tube channel. Not everyone is able to follow on other platforms

[@TheAnnestube]

​@@SmallTownMusicFreak You spoke it perfectly. He's doing exactly what he wants and loves.

[@TheAnnestube]

Well, if you take into consideration, the amount of work he puts into every detail of his videos, and into keeping himself fit, in order to deliver the quality he wants, then it's only fair, that he doesn't put out more, especially when he also has people pulling on him from all sides to do podcasts, participate on livestreams etc. And he has his family too, and a life outside of youtube.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@SmallTownMusicFreak Exactly what I was going to say. 😀

[@zillahmills6549]

He deserves it so much, you can see the work he has put in to be a master singer! I really enjoy your reactions thanks so much x❤🎉🎉🎉

[@danaparker3628]

Dan Vasc is just brilliant! I love him and his voice! I’m not a Metal fan ; but, can still appreciate every song he sings!

[@NativeTexan-fm5dy]

Great reaction. This was Dan's 100th video - his celebration of how far he and his channel had come at that time. That old, original Dragonforce Singer Audition is still out there. He re-recorded that song 5 years later (along with Victor the Guitar Nerd) (or maybe it was 10 years later) to show how far he had come since he first began. It would be fun if you could do a double-reaction to those two videos back to back.

[@slowfud]

In reality he has 3 videos of that song: his audition, then another 2 years later and then the 3rd one more recently...

[@gabriellewhite1316]

How lucky are we to watch Dan progress over the years. I wasn't around in the beginning of his journey but I feel blessed to be here now. We truly are watching greatness unfold before us. God bless you Dan, I hope you reach everything you're searching for. You were meant to do this! oxoxox

We only can slightly imagine the way full of hardships that Dan Vasc went through from this oh bloody young man to the best metal singer in the world. There's a song by Dan Vasc that he released to mark the 10th anniversary of his channel three years ago: DRAGONFORCE Cover - "The Last Journey Home." I believe now is the right time, not only for you but also for Dan, for you to react to it.

I cry a lot with this cover, a movie plays in front of my eyes, for those like me, who have been following Dan since 2013, because being the daughter of a musician, I know how arduous and difficult this road is. New cover is coming - MY HEART WILL GO ON - CELINE DION , TITANIC METAL 😂😂 TKS ❤

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Ro--YES! Being the daughter of a musician is a wonderful, wonderful thing, but not always (rarely, actually) easy. I, too, am the daughter of a fabulous, wonderful musician. Interestingly, I am now the oldest singer/musician in our still-living parts of the family, but I have six kids who all can sing beautifully, and most of them play instruments, as well. That includes the littlest guy here at home, who will be four years old on the 31st of January 2024 (my husband and I share ownership in a small hobby farm, with our youngest daughter, her husband, and their eight children (ages 19-1/2 down through almost-four). Judi & Harry are passing the flag down to their children. I have only met one of my five great-grandchildren, but from what I hear, those little ones are being brought up with music in their hearts as well. My heart will definitely go on. I truly hope that is the new song Dan will soon be singing to us. 😀

[@mountaintrailventures]

I so love your reactions. Thank you. I haven't watched this Dan Vasc video in a while andI am watching the dates and wondering why I did not find him before 2020, that is when I fell down the rabbit hole and am going the distance with him. He is so amazing!!
