[@valerialopesdesouza8357]

Dan is Awesome 😊😊

[@Calumetto]

Great! Thanks!

[@emanuelamarchetti9862]

He once was the lead singer of Orion's reign

[@josiahrobinson6135]

Yes, he was! Scores of War is an excellent album, and their cover of Thunderstruck is absolutely amazing!

[@shirleyemrick1700]

Thank you!!

[@zsuzsanna1416]

Hail Viking! I'm so glad you had such a good time watching and commenting on the video. Great reaction! ❤ 🍋🫖👍

[@janicejohnson1113]

Your stunned face. Hahaha brilliant

[@MsLaPat]

Let's roll and react!

[@karenm5681]

Yay! More Dan songs!🌲

[@NYDogLady]

So glad you found this! Another side of Dan. Handel's Hallelujah is also considered Christmas

[@RightWriter]

Haha. I do the same--all focus on Dan! 😂 Adore your reaction! ❤❤

[@beabaldock236]

I love this brilliant. Xxx

[@carolaO-v2d]

Die Aufnahme scheint ca. vor 6 Jahren entstanden zu sein. Ein lustiges Lied und eine weitere tolle Reaktion von dir. Ich selber mag es lieber, wenn Dan sein eigenes Ding macht.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Ich stimme zu ... wenn Dan sein eigenes Ding macht, muss er im Allgemeinen keine Dinge hinzufügen, die NICHT sein eigenes Ding SIND. :-D

[@sherryramirez6329]

😍😍😍

[@nathaliepenney]

his stunned face was funny , Merry Christmas to all , peace and ❤from Australia...

[@marycook6715]

Love it ❤❤❤and it is busy And by the way, I love your background

[@zsuzsanna1416]

Hi everyone.

[@margot.J]

i just loved everything of this performance ! So funny and the mini-medley was beautiful !Dan was the vocalist of orion´s reign from 2016 -2017. Their album " sores of war " is great too ! Hope you get well soon Viking, thank you for your reaction ! 😊

[@marinaspruslane2642]

Wow wow wow 🔥

[@karinkrenn]

Santa on speed - awesome. Like your reaction 🎶

[@annezzell6792]

"Severus Snape on bass!"

[@joettamcqueen1954]

Watching dressed-in-all -black headbangers while hearing "rooty toot toot" is too funny. Fun song, but so glad Dan is own his own now.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Me too!!! 😀

[@terryeallen-stoda2152]

What a fun rendition of a silly song- yeah-so much was going on, multiple viewings are needed, and, of course Dan Vasc kept my attention! Loved your enthusiastic reaction ❤

[@Pammie1221]

I believe he did Jingle Bells with her, too Love him and Love your reaction! ❤

[@vibekeschindelholz6239]

I just found another christmas song with Orions Reign ft. Minniva and Dan "Jingle bells"..

[@soniamaria-fn7cd]

Viking, It was amazing and fun ;) Dan, as always, was fantastic! Thank you for sharing;)

[@user-lsmithcleveland]

Have you ever heard anyone better than Dan??? ❤❤

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

NO! 😀

[@nightwishlover8913]

Yep!

[@donnacordero9561]

OMG! I LOVE THIS. HE IS TERRIFIC AND I LIKE HER TOO. 😊

[@MsLaPat]

Wow. Now show us just the Dan part.😊

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

So much fun!

[@meb8582]

Severus Snape on Bass - still laughing! Made my night - thanks so much!

[@janeteitsworth8824]

Looks like a great reaction is coming our way from sir goes back a lot😂😂😂😂

[@FloGlover-i2b]

Dan and ..minniva also do jingle bells with oriens reign n you will like that too. Dan isnt named in the credits

[@cclarke9301]

I love your reactions, most entertaining especially if it’s Dan 😊

[@lisalaursen3684]

If Dan put out an album of all metal covers of Xmas songs that’s all I would listen to through the Christmas season 🤘🔥

[@annelieshoornik]

LOL I see you found some more Christmas Dan LOL

[@VikingReacts]

NEED....MORE....DAN!

[@annelieshoornik]

@@VikingReacts hahaha always!

[@HelmaOsmond]

Never enough Dan… 🤘

[@terryeallen-stoda2152]

I'm with you on that! Can't have too much Dan Vasc!!❤

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@VikingReacts AGREED!!!

[@HelmaOsmond]

That was awesome! 🤘🤘🤘

[@-Lilian-1]

This was full of fun and epicnis 🤘🤘

[@linhager12]

Wow Wow Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Dan always catches my full attention... he is so fantastic... She was great... Going to have to watch it some more... thank you so much Viking Love it❤

[@judithw.2213]

Listen to him singing with Orion's Reign 'Thunder' as I suggested, i promise it's epic!!!

[@umarae27]

Im so happy you had as much fun as I did llistening to them. Spot on!

[@eaglejane7379]

Dan kinda stole the show, he always puts such a strong energetic stamp on everything he does. Can’t wait for his next Christmas cover. Which song do you think it will be? I’d love a metal version of “Little drummer boy”!

[@lisalaursen3684]

Yes he is always completely captivating!

[@christinevincent7025]

I love your reactions to videos, and the face you pull when you're stunned! 😂 Whenever you react to a video I've already seen, I can see that you have the same reactions as me, on the same parts of the songs. I find this very funny. I love watching you react. 😁

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

There are actually three on Dan's Channel. The third one is "Handel's Hallelujah [Chorus]" from "The Messiah." 😀 I didn't think I was going to like this at all, because I'm not big on "Santa Claus." They were doing a great job with it, anyway, and I was liking it, and THEN...Dan made my entire DAY brighter, by adding the angels into the whole concept. THANK YOU, DAN... ...and thank YOU, Carlos, for another wonderful Advent Reaction. 😀

[@cheryla3958]

Loved watching your enjoyment of this. He also did Jingle Bells with Orions Reign. Loved your reaction and all the comments! Dan is just awesome! Really looking forward to his new Christmas release! 🎶🎶

[@elfdogre2181]

My man on the keyboard was playing them like they were a keytar 😂 This is the style of Christmas music that should be played in shops around the world. So much positive energy!

[@teresiakuhr]

Thank you for reacting this song. At that time (around 2015), Dan was a member of Orion's Reign - he has done a whole album with them. The other members of Orion's Reign are from Greece, Dan has recorded his part in Brazil. And Minniva is from Norway and it's worth to dig in her Rabbit Hole as well (f.e. some Nightwish Covers).

[@vibekeschindelholz6239]

So nice, I didn't know Minniva's from Norway. So am I.. 😉

[@annelieshoornik]

That was gold. The moment Dan started Adeste Fideles you looked exactly like I must have the first time I heard it. 😊

[@tjw1972]

That was just more fun than the law allows!! I remember when I first saw this I probably had my jaw dropped through the whole thing trying to take it all in. It was fun to see your reaction to it, Viking!!

[@marchen-strau4562]

So much fun and so many unexpected moments, great reaction!!

[@victoriadaversa6808]

I love that you're so observing of even the little details and you're right, none of them were together when this video was recorded lol

[@Lydelith]

In 2016, Dan Vasc joined the Greek band Orion's Reign as their lead vocalist, but he returned to Brazil- I don't know exactly- around the end of 2017 because he wanted to pursue his own project. Some songs with great vocals from Dan are on the KZbin channel of Orion's Reign. In Orion's Reign's album "Scores of War," released in October 2018, you can hear him sing. He recorded his part at home. When Orion's Reign went to Sweden, Dan and the Swedish singer Minniva got accquainted with each other. That's how it happened or something similar. Later on, Dan and Minniva did few songs together.

[@soniamaria-fn7cd]

Lydelith, thanks for the information ;)

[@Lydelith]

These songs that Minniva and Dan did together are on Minniva's channel: "Night Witches" and "Ghost Devision" Sabaton covers 🔥🤘 @@soniamaria-fn7cd

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

@@Laurgal5 She absolutely does! 😀

[@Gizelda7129]

I play this song at work and every time Dan comes in at the beginning my office mate jumps - even though she knows it's coming - I love this song. They do Jingle Bells as well - I don't think Dan is in that one as much though if I remember correctly.

[@sylviegrondin5288]

Always a good reaction from you Viking 😅i love Minniva and Dan singing together,they’re outrageous and beautiful together ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@debbieheacock3332]

Can you say….EPIC, EPIC, EPIC, AND more EpiC!!!!!!!! Totally glad you found this, I have listened to it several times but LoVe your blown away reaction!!! Are you enjoying this DanVasc rabbit hole!!! Sorry about all the!!!!!! But damn it is an EpiC thank you for doing this song. Love, love, love it!!! Yes Dan was a part of this group of fantastic musicians for awhile and his mischievous personality comes out!!! 🎄🫶🏻🎄🫶🏻🙏🏼🎄🫶🏻🙏🏼🫡🧔🏻‍♀️👏🏼🧔🏻‍♀️👏🏼🧔🏻‍♀️👏🏼🧔🏻‍♀️🎄

[@disneyizme6855]

lol, the Severus line killed me! Dan was incredible as usual

[@suepoole8323]

So, re watching this and it is Tuesday morning here in UK... somehow have to just keep coming back for more...I just don't know why.. could it just be that Dan has drawn me in once again...? Great reaction, absolutely loved it.. thanks Viking..

[@zsuzsanna1416]

"Let's see how these metal maestros have turned a classic Christmas tune into a headbanger's delight!" By Viking :)))

[@uddercharmsfarm8159]

That was sooo much fun!!! Thanks for reacting to this!

[@rjross1087]

Great reaction, as usual. She’s “Min- Eee-va” and she’s terrific. I’m glad they finally got him synced for his little medley, which was my favorite part, of course. I like the instrumentals, and the whole thing was bouncy and cute. Worth it to hear Dan sing “rooty-toot-toot” and “rummy-tum-tum”!

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Laughing about that last sentence, and...I agree! 😀

[@victoriadaversa6808]

I'm also so thankful for finding amazing grace... Sent me spiraling down this rabbit hole lol i hope you'll get an interview with him i so so hope🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@christmascarol87]

A great Christmas song just perfect to get one in the mood for the holidays. Minniva and Dan collaborated on another great song that you might enjoy after Christmas. It’s a cover of a “Sabaton” song “Night Witches” that’s about the 588th night bomber regiment of the Soviet Air Force in the Second World War who were all-female. Thanks for sharing your reaction to this very upbeat Christmas song.✨🎄✨

[@kristinabassi4215]

You can also rock out under the Christmas tree. No more sensual, it has to rattle 🤣🎄🤘. I love this. Your reaction, as always, great 👌💕

[@silviak5568]

Oh yeees, it's our all Dan ❤! The lady is awesome too but the instruments are a bit too loud for me during the both are singing.

[@julierodda5826]

With a root-a-toot-toot and triple time drums! What a hoot. Little tin horn insert was incredible. I dont love metal but this romp thru this song was memorable.

[@janewestpoldskrvseth]

WOW a love Dan and the lady is matching Dan so good but a did not recognise the song until Dan came in the middle and used his amazing voice! And loved your reaction it was very like mine, thanks Viking for yet a good reaction. Hugs from Norway 🫂🫂🧑🏽‍🎄🧑🏽‍🎄🎄🎄

[@mariasmith6438]

I discovered this video a couple of months ago, and this is now my absolutely favourite version of this song. So energetic & happy, basically just EPIC!

[@dianalindenmeyer4847]

Omg! You are so funny! Severus Snape on bass. Lol! Thank you for your great reaction!

[@gabivonkiedrowski3805]

Thank you for another amazing reaction. I just suggested that song this morgning. Dan was the si ger of Orion‘s Reign from 2016-2017, as announced on their website. They recorded the Album „Socres of War“ and a few other songs like „Thunderstruck“ and „Jingle Bells“. You should listen to the Album Scores of War.

[@annelieshoornik]

So.. re-watching this for the. So manyeth time… I wonder Viking, have you rewatched/listened to this? I know you are starting a new job and all, but I wouldn’t mind a second viewing after you having had time to process the whole production and commenting again. 😊

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Your surprised face at the start was epic, I love this song and I am glad you really enjoyed it, please check out their version of Jingle Bells.

[@nightwishlover8913]

Minniva has lots of great covers on her channel. Worth a look.

[@nathaliepenney]

hi Viking , i have watched this video so many times but your reaction to it was priceless , you're right though the quality of the video is bad but what a fantastic song to play on Christmas day , I just love your reactions to Dan he always surprise you . I can't wait for his new song either , and Minniva is amazing too , peace and ❤from Australia.....

[@debbiewade6364]

Well glad you thought the same as me oh YES, great reaction. ❤❤

[@LuceliafeodealencarAlencar]

DAN maravilhoso!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@raskalkat9092]

Great reaction. Definitely go check out Minniva's video of Sabaton's 'Night Witches' and 'Ghost Division'. Dan Vasc did vocals for Orion's Reign on several songs on the 'Scores of War' album. Hail Vasc-Nation ❤️🤘✝️

[@Linx2Heart]

This was really amazing! What a fabulous production! Glad you reacted to this! Thank you! ❤

[@listerofsmegv987pevinaek5]

Love watching your Dan reactions. Would love to see your reaction to A Kiss from a Ross with Dan and Violet Olandi. Looking forwards to the next video

[@hannehammer4603]

Ho ho ho, it's nice that "Santa Claus" has found its way into your reactions so quickly and that you like it. 😉But you know, Santa is on the road with the "Jingle Bells" sleigh... 😁 You should definitely listen to "Scores Of War" by Orion's Reign, 'Nostos' features Minniva as a guest singer. On the video you can only see her, but Dan's unique voice is simply brilliant. 🔥 Minniva's covers are also definitely worth a listen. 😊

[@retroking8245]

nice reaction. I can give you the cover of Sabaton - Night Witches (Minniva feat. Quentin Cornet/Dan Vasc/Garrett Peters) Recommend, that's awesome

[@askara_755]

I completely lost it with your "and there's Severus Snape on guitar!" 😹😹😹 Your reactions are so enjoyable to watch!

[@tinanna666]

😂😂😂 luv Ur reaction to this one - those 2 have more colabs. Find them if U can! Hint - opera! ❤

[@kathrinewatson6321]

I love how you just froze. I don't think you blinked lol

[@HelmaOsmond]

Can’t wait for more Dan, since he IS the man… I have been loving your Advent reactions! I want to suggest a completely different song that I think is awesome! I’m suggesting it now, before you have 100 comments, so I know you’ve read it…😜 If you still have an opening, please react to “For King and Country” performing LITTLE DRUMMER BOY live in Phoenix (6 years ago). It’s awesome. All I know about them is that they sing christian songs, which I’m personally not particularly into. But this live performance is EPIC. I know you will love it!

[@brhseh]

I just watched the “Little Drummer Boy” by King and Country suggested by you. It is so moving and beautifully done. Thank you. And of course, I love anything from Dan. He is “the man”

[@HelmaOsmond]

@@brhseh Oh I'm so glad you liked it! I love the energy in the performance!

[@jessicahedman3048]

that is a good way to get into the Christmas spirit!

[@user-JLV777]

Great song and loved your reaction, I am going to watch it a few more times

[@susansouthard]

Dan has done three Christmas songs on his own. Handels Hellelujah, Angels We Have Heard On High and Adeste Fideles

[@carolinevoncanon8442]

Dan did sessions work for bands for a while and was considered the lead singer for Orion's Reign for 3 years. He stopped when they started to travel because it did not work for his schedule.

[@KarenParker-o6x]

Yay! you did this one!!

[@josiahrobinson6135]

You're right - they did record their parts separately; I saw a "behind the scenes" video of this song on Minniva's channel. The 6:12 mark begins my favorite part of this song. Dan doing that mini-medley stuck in my head so much that I would mentally sing it to myself and wonder where it came from. So looking forward to this year's Christmas song from Dan! I hope he doesn't keep us waiting too much longer! Excellent reaction, as always!

[@KarenWarren-bu2bv]

Dan comes on the screen and everyone else disappeares.

[@drcheriquinn]

I’ve watched many from Orion’s Reign. Even without being credited you can pick out Dan’s voice.

[@vickialbertson4068]

Wow😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@derekpetersen7571]

There not much I can say either just it was amazing and she is beautiful that for sure I wanted to hear Dan and I kept looking at her lol

[@yascaraalbuquerque512]

Hail Viking!🫡 Thank you for your great reaction! I thought it was sensational! Severus Snape playing bass!! 😂 I hadn't seen it yet... is this video from 2015? Too happy, lots of information, lots of color... almost "pop"! But ok, it's Christmas! And they sing a party... a beautiful party with metallic "edges".❤️ And then... did you notice what Daniel did? In the midst of all that festive "sound chaos", he released his voice in an extremely powerful "Adeste Fideles", in Latin in the original - and completely highlighted his voice from the rest... ok. He did it again, guys!! Dan created a sound axis around his voice and made all other surrounding sounds just a "background" for what he wanted to highlight! You see, Adeste Fideles is a strong call to worship the baby Jesus... In this movement he reminded us that the Santa Claus party is important, but the true reason for this party can never be forgotten. 🥹 Hugs from Curitiba, Brasil. 🇧🇷

[@kathleenguth2193]

Wow!!!!!

[@NinaBjrnethun]

❤❤❤

[@nancydias3568]

Amazing! 👏👏👏

[@kathrinewatson6321]

Apparently you can't post links on comments soooo here is Minniva - Santa Claus is Coming to Town behind the scenes

[@TheAnnestube]

Maybe you haven't had time to read your comments, because we all told you in the other Dan videos, that he had made this collaboration. They also did Jingle Bells. Dan was frontsinger for Orion's Reign at one point, and there may be some more videos with him and them.

[@NinaBjrnethun]

I heard this song at least 30/❤❤40 times yesterdag.and i LOOOVE your reacsjon ❤ and today i don 't cnow ....i must must see your reaksjon. You say all i did,nt find word to. You alvais cat me glad nina from norway

[@cher6932]

The video was very chaotic and disorganized , but I want to see everything with Dan in it so thanks for showing it.
