Metal musicians perform "O Holy Night" - Dan Vasc │ THANK YOU JAMIE!

[@tinanichols203]

Everything he sings is extraordinary.

[@Strawberry-IwasIcuddlecats]

Love to all of the Dasc Nation, Thank you again Jamie!!

[@KarenWarren-bu2bv]

He sings triumphantly. And forget about the younger people. One of his bigger fan bases is us older women. I'm 79 and never listened to metal in my life. But now? I listen to Dan every day. Love, love,love him.

[@beckymonaghan50]

I’m 74 and I agree with you

He puts us in touch the the power of scripture that we lose in day in day out of our ordinary lives.

Best O Holy Night❤

[@virginiawaters955]

At 73, I’ve been a metalhead since the 1960s. Vasc is GLORIOUS!

[@slowfud]

I might have to disagree with you regarding younger audiences, as we, the older audiences, are totally hooked to these metal performances from Dan...lol.

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

AGREE!!! I grew up in the 80s so metal is my "first love" and Dan kills it!!

[@irisradinger1632]

That is so true! 😂 I'm 66 and have never been a metal fan, but Dan (and Tommy Johansson) changed my mind.

[@happyday-yx7mx]

I'm 62 and definitely a fan

[@romypie3725]

🙋‍♀️

[@jamesleasure8836]

Also 62 and Dan is my favorite singer!

[@valerialopesdesouza8357]

Dan and Victor are brilliant😊

[@MarindaMare-fn3wl]

Like your reaction but remember we, the 60 and 70 year oldies grew up during Queen and many similar type musicians. We are still the big audience listening to this type of metal. Yes the younger ones also enjoy it, because our children grew up listening to our music😎

[@margijohnson5728]

Exactly!! True words!!!😃

[@djnozland]

Dan has a particular interpretation here. I’m an older christian and I’ve had a lifetime of hearing Oh Holy Night, I became insulated from the power and triumph of THE message. What is timid about breaking chains and ending oppression? Nothing! But we can forget that the tender babe in a manger grows into the mighty warrior savior KING and God’s own thunderous voice could be heard, no? Dan and Victor’s rendition awakened my soul to this and I love it! Appreciated your dialogue and expressions, enjoyed your reaction a lot! Thank you and Merry Christmas. ❤

[@teresamerkel7161]

What is timid about breaking chains and ending oppression? Nothing! Exactly!

[@umarae27]

Well said!!!

[@Christine-hl4rl]

I agree. I also loved the triumph of the line “ let all within us praise His Holy name “ - the way he distorted his voice was like - let even the demons praise His Holy name ! 😊

[@PortugalaGals]

[@michellehughes4070]

WOW! JUST WOW!

[@karenlutz9391]

I enjoyed your reaction to Dans version of this song. It is indeed a powerful rendition that reminds us all of why we celebrate Christmas and to rejoice. It is so awesome to hear a Christmas song that is not all sweet and the same as every other one. This one is POWERFUL and I felt the true spirit of Christmas after listening to it.

[@nataliemorton5568]

I just subscribed after your reaction in that fantastic accent you have! I have been under Dan's spell since Amazing Grace. Detested anything metal before that eye and ear-opener! Have viewed an embarrassing number of his covers ever since April. No matter what he covers, you are always left in shock, awe, and delight simply knowing there exists such an original, inventive musical creator in our world!!! Looks like you have joined the ever-increasing ranks of Dan Vasc Fandom!! Welcome to the Best Club Ever!! More Dan SOOOOON please!! 🤗

[@bluecollarcanuck]

I've heard renditions of this done by Lucy Thomas and the 2000 rendition by then-14-year old Charlotte Church (a particularly lovely performance that sent chills up my spine the first time I heard it). Both of those ladies have absolutely angelic voices...but nothing brings songs like this to life quite like a touch of METAL. 😁😈

[@AureliaNavarro-su7xx]

I agree completely with you. I would describe what Dan brings to his work is a sense of triumph - a perfect tone for the announcement of the birth of Christ! Also, the guitarist is Victor the guitar nerd, who also helps with mastering. The choral backgrounds are all Dan as well: he records and mixes multiple tracks of himself. Truly amazing.

[@inezcardoso7283]

❤❤❤

[@elainecherry7765]

Brilliant version of this song. He could have sung it in his operatic tenor voice and it would have been beautiful. But, this raw, gritty metal rendition is just glorious. Enjoyed seeing the awe in your face. We all feel that way, too. Thanks for another great reaction and can't wait to hear more.

[@annlandry5252]

First of all Dan works hard keeping his body in shape and it show n O Holy Night was breathtaking the guitar everything it was perfect for the beginning definitely cry for the beginning to results of Dan the whole band everything and all going to pay off❤

[@fumikofawcett9032]

I am totally hooked on the metal performer Don. I was piano and violin type. Don made me change to liking of metal for the first time ever. And I am a glandma.

[@marybryan4168]

AWESOME!!!

[@jamiem4941]

I was really hoping you would enjoy this and you did! Dan is amazing and so is Victor the Guitar Nerd! The range of Dan’s voice and the ease with which he moves from octave to octave shows how dedicated he is to his craft. Thank you for a great reaction!

[@EchoesOfEmotionReact]

It's like having your favorite meal sitting right there in front of you, and you eat it and you're satisfied, and then suddenly you wish you had just a bit more, so you turn around, and...WOW!

[@milosen6744]

Merry Christmas Lieben-Töten and thanks for appreciating Dan's version of O Holy Night. Anyone who knows and loves Dan knows that he rarely does anything "normal". He just has to "Danify" the songs and put his own stamp on it, and that's what I love about him! 💖

[@margot.J]

Dan is amazing, the video is wonderful and the " earthquake "with his growl is great. Victor is great too ! Merry Christmas to you and yours !😊

[@Christine-hl4rl]

I felt the earthquake with his growl while singing “let all within us” and the following with epic “ praise His Holy name “ was like the demons will fear and praise His Holy Name ! Glorious and triumphant!

[@TheAnnestube]

​​@@Christine-hl4rl Yes, the demons within us - we cannot be truly awakened to Christ until our demons surrender. Though it can also be thought of as the thunderous voice of God. But i lean most towards the image of the growl being the demons inside being demolished for us to awaken completely.

[@mariangelavaz5499]

Dan is super creative. He uses all his strength , introduces different sounds to perform so beautifully. He and Victor give us very special show. It’s hard to describe but Every time I hear I always have such an emotional and enjoyable time. Thank you, “boys “

Such a power praise ❤❤❤

[@allforadam1]

Dan amazes me when he can hold back for so long before he unleashes. And then there is an explosion of power and heavy metal with a little growl thrown in. I've run out of words to describe his voice. He keeps surprising us.

[@TheAnnestube]

Yes, it's incredible, but you can see the mischief in that little laughter he has in his eyes, that he knows all too well, he's going to make us all jump in our seats.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@TheAnnestube Yes, and the first little sneaky smile came really early, then he backed off of it. I think he was trying REALLY hard NOT to give it away. On the other hand, he knows full well how we all LOVE the surprises. 😀

[@TerriTildon-ij4ek]

@@TheAnnestube , he did have mischief in his eyes. Fun to see.

[@maggiegoossens1894]

This grandma, 69, LOVES this! ❤ That man can sing, no doubt about it. And I love the guitar solo! ❤ It is an unusual way of singing this, but I do not find fault or insult in it. There are ’churches’ that are downright blasphemous in their performances and services. We all have our favourite styles and genres, and no one can order someone to love this, but give the man some credit. Even his attitude, body language is proper and far from provocative. And for the rest: let God be the judge.

[@teresamerkel7161]

That's the way to sing "Christ is the Lord!" Like an earthquake! Since none of us on this planet aren't archangels we don't have the voice to shake the foundations of earth and the heavens but Dan comes close.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@teresamerkel7161 YES!

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@maggiegoossens1894 -- Agreed! One thing I mentioned on another reaction, after someone started making accusations about how he had messed up such a "sacred song" (sigh--there IS no such thing), is that there are PLENTY of these same over-critical BELIEVERS who have been making these accusations and tearing Dan down for "ruining O Holy Night," who will turn right around and say that the LOVE to hear Dan sing "Bring Me to Life!" Most of them don't even know WHY he put the growls in there, but they LOVE IT! So...what makes them think that THIS one is any different? They say that it's because it's a "sacred Christmas carol." As I already said, "NO! It's NOT! There IS no such thing. PERIOD!

[@MsLaPat]

Thanks for your insightful reaction. Merry Christmas! Dan's rendition reminds us of the power and glory of Our Savior.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Agreed! Our Savior is DEFINITELY not a WIMP! 😀

I watched the original yesterday as soon as it was released. My eyes 👀 did the same as yours when that massive growl(?) hit! Dan posted something this morning showing someone calling it a demonic sound. Dan was very funny in his response. The more I hear it, the more I like it! Happy Christmas, L-T!!

[@takingtimewithtricia]

I saw that comment too and saw Dan's reply. Lol. Good come back.

[@mlincoln1]

what was dan's response?

[@joyceshellhammer8865]

​@@mlincoln1 Dan told the person the demon has now gotten into the person's ears, and they will have demonic diarrhea for 666 days.

[@susanharrah3462]

I think that low growl is him showing that Jesus the child is going to be Jesus the warrior, fighting Satan who has toe hold on all of us humans . Though he sings like I would think Michael the arc angel with all the legion of angels behind and him and jesus as they go into battle Satan. To save humanity from Satan and ourselfs.

It was the Christmas present that Dan's followers had been waiting for - with the eagerness of a child on Eve. It was worth the wait!! Anyone who knows me understands that God did not give me the gift of synthesis... but I am learning to remain silent in the face of perfection. 🥹 I am still impacted by the power with which these very necessary words were packaged... May God protect Daniel and keep him on the Path. Thank you very much for his reaction. Hugs from Curitiba - Brazil.

[@barbbrandon4634]

Had i heard this without any background on Dan my opinion might be different. But there is a message behind the timing of the growl. Dan and Vickor are amazing musicians...Vickor blows me away with his vast array of musical instruments he has mastered. The piano was breathtaking. Dan is a believer. You cannot watch Amazing Grace without coming away with the impression that he was 100% connected to the words and message of that song. Thank you for the review. Peace be with you throughout the holidays. Merry Christmas.

[@TheAnnestube]

If you really think Dan ALWAYS starts off slow and calm before he ramps it up, you need to listen to his versions of Adeste Fideles, I'll make a man out of you, Black wind fire and steel, Kickstart my heart, Born to be wild, Burn Butcher Burn etc....

[@virginiawaters955]

YES! His Adeste Fidelis will be sung as the Army of Angels and the faithful march into the last battle.

[@tjw1972]

What a great reaction! Yes, this is definitely one of those songs that will be on the Christmas playlist! What you felt were rambles made perfect sense. :) Have a Merry Christmas!! ♥

[@MommaBird52]

He yells and screams, but always in tune. We know going into the reaction so know when to watch for response to the crazy parts!

[@denisejones1863]

This was a song making a announcement that the savior was born. It should be sung with power. It is saying, "Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever". As for the growl the bible says, "We must speak the name of Jesus, for demons tremble at the mere mention of it" James 2:19. Jesus came to save and will return one day with power.

[@TheAnnestube]

You know what, I'm close to thinking he already has...

[@CindyJoGorman-bt9ro]

Yes, slowfud!

[@susanharrah3462]

When i hear him he reminds me of Michael the arc angel singing as he goes into battle. Fighting satan especially that really low growling like the bad parts of us acknowledging who Jesus the worrior is got ng to be when he feiws up

[@TheAnnestube]

Exactly - it's the demons inside us that must be subdued and surrender, for us to be truly awakened in Christ

[@DravenGal]

My favorite version of this song is done by Josh Groban, but this one is quite impressive!
