Brad / Jon watch and react to #danvasc | Metal singer performs "Amazing Grace": • Metal singer performs ... by @DanVasc
His title doesnt say Amazing Grace Metal style.... it says Metal singer performes Amazing Grace. Big difference. HUGE 🙄🤦♀️
Dan Vasc identifies as a heavy-metal singer, however, he’s extremely eclectic in his songs. to truly know who Dan Vasc, you’ll need to go and listen to other songs that he sang. Only then will you truly have gained the appreciation and respect for this man.
dan did sound of silence as well
Very true. He is going to blow up folks! Absolutely incredible range and so talented.
Not to mention to take a song that is over 340 years old and make it his own! Well done.
cannot believe you guys did not show more enthusiasm i am an 82 year old great grandmother and was blown away by this super talented young man. shame on you
Me, too!!
Don't waste your energy & time here.
This channel is "Born to die"!😎🤣🤣🤣
Arrogance compared with ignorance & stupidity .
Dan put in the time hard work and years to sing like that abd it is a pure privilege to listen to him. Are you guys for real????
The point, guys, is that this is the way the song was MEANT to be sung. I'm not saying that everyone has to be a metal singer to sing it effectively. What I AM saying, is that there's a story in the song (if you haven't checked that out, you should). The song was never meant to be sung at funerals, though of course if someone is being honored, who had lived a life walking strongly with the Lord, then, sure. If it was a favorite of the person who had passed away, then, sure. Otherwise, this song was meant to tell about LIFE in Christ. It was never meant to be mournful or sad. It was meant to be just as Dan has portrayed it--because he actually BELIEVES it that way.
I know that some of your comments were being somewhat satirical--possibly sarcastic, in that what you said with a small grin here or there, was meant to convey the opposite of what you threw out there. For instance, your sentence (regarding the use of the harmonica), "It's practically a requirement for every metal band I've ever heard of." Then you did go toward the bagpipes, which have often been used with the song, as a processional to a funeral, in most cases. I'm OK with some of that, but in this case, a lot of what you said came across as "snarky," or a "mockery."
Yes--you both agreed that Dan can, well...yeah...sing. Dan can, indeed, SING! As in, "YES! WOW! This man has done his homework, and trained himself beautifully!"
For instance...let's start with the progression of the song itself, as you watch Dan's face and mannerisms (he's an accomplished operatic singer, by the way--emotions are not strange to him, or to his vocal expressions).
At the beginning, you can hear (and see) a good-enough singer who does quite well...he obviously has a lovely, smooth, controlled voice. He sings that first part pretty much the same way any church soloist (not necessarily a celebrity) would sing it--maybe with a little more skill than you might have expected--since he billed himself as a "metal singer."
Yes--you did both agree that some metal singers can actually sing other styles in quite agreeable ways. Then you shrugged it off.
Did you happen to notice that during that first part, there was a bit of sadness displayed, and perhaps a bit of a "lost" look? Also, did you notice that he dropped his chin and sort of "hid himself" several times? Could those things, maybe, have been reflecting the lyrics themselves? When one first begins to see light shining through the darkness, there is generally more than one emotion that goes into play--especially if one has been living in darkness for quite some time. I'm not saying that Dan had been. What I'm saying, is that he was portraying that part, and doing a magnificent job of it. Note how his eyes begin to look around him (rather like a startled deer) as he proclaims that he once was lost. Also, he closes his eyes and opens them several times, as he just barely begins to proclaim and portray the differences one would be experiencing in the actual situation the lyrics are stating.
Then...beginning in the next section (and he chose only certain lyrics out of the seven-or-so available verses), by the way--on purpose), the symphony begins--very effectively. The life that comes through God's grace is beginning to flow, and doubt and fear are starting to creep away. Notice that Dan's eyes have become even more expressive, and his focus has gotten more strong with every word. He's beginning to (in the parlance of the song) express the differences that are happening within. Watch his face and his stance begin to strengthen as understanding comes more and more strongly--bringing sight--yet sight that is still seeing the world around him more than what's growing inside. The lyrics, though, are affirming the new reality within.
Then we have the upward flow of a key-change that takes more physical effort and discipline to express, but there's a tentative joyfulness in those higher tones. Dan's physical stance also is strengthened, and his whole presence takes on more of the victory that is yet to fully surface. The lyrics (and Dan's interpretation of them) begin to affirm themselves and to be actually believed by the person within. Dan's eyes begin to either look upward and out, or close in thought, as he (as the subject of the song) begins to get this all figured out.
As he reaches for the harmonica (which, by the way, he has played since he was given his first one at age seven, by his very beloved father--who passed away several years back) there is actually a special significance that comes to the song. The lyrics are speaking of life-changing differences that happen when one begins to realize all that God (our Father) is offering. As he's just sung, "...and grace will lead me home," he begins to enact the part that the bagpipes play at so many funerals--a triumphal march into Heaven. In other words, "OK, Yes! I'm beginning to see! At least I know where I'll be going when I leave this world!" Notice that his eyes are still opening now and again to the world around him, though he is much more focused on the music and the lyrics, and is beginning to turn to the inward light of Holy Spirit more strongly.
As the "bagpipes" end, the lyrics have led up to a drastic change in the Dan who is portraying the subject of the lyrics (and who actually does live them out). OK! He's had enough wishy-washy-ness. The shoulders go back, the hair gets swung out of his face, and he sets himself to actually LIVE the rest of the lyrics he chose. He has a story to tell, and he's going to do so, and he wants everyone to hear it without a doubt in their minds that it is REAL.
Though you see his eyes open a couple of times in the entry to that event, by the time he proclaims that he's "bright shining, as the sun," now, from the inside out, his focus goes completely into spiritual sight, and it remains that way throughout the rest of the song. Note that there is still darkness around the outside of him. The light is within, and he sees it, in a most definite manner. As he begins to "preach" it, his eyes open one last time, briefly, to the world around him.
Then comes the dramatic key change that signifies even more strength and courage, and his stance becomes even more firm. As he proclaims to whoever will listen in the world, that he had definitely been in the running for one of the worst wretches among them--there's no doubt in that statement that he yells to all who will hear--his voice has become strong and sure enough to be heard by the crowds of witnesses around him, who are now focused on hearing his very strong testimony.
As he progresses into screaming out that he now SEEEEES, there are no more furtive eye movements seeking for answers in the world. What he is SEEING and UNDERSTANDING, is God Himself. YES!
So...OK, then...he calms, but just as strongly and firmly reiterates, "...was blind, but now...I see," spoken strongly, surely, adamantly, and beautifully. There can be no doubt. This man has found himself--in the Lord Jesus Christ. AHA!!!!!
By the way...did you happen to notice that the last inward breath he took during those final moments, started with the words, "I see?" He kept that air flow going for approximately 27 seconds from, "I..." until the last chin-produced vibrato of the word "Aha!" That, in itself, is totally awesome!!!
This is TOTAL VICTORY! Dan Vasc will have it no other way. EVER. PERIOD!
Very well said, couldn't agree more! I think you just gave the best description ever on the meaning of this song respectively Dans rendition.
I actually discovered Dan through Amazing Grace 3 weeks after the release and was immediately blown away by his skills.
Thank you Father God in Jesus mighty name Amen f rom America 😊😊😊😊😊love love love Mr
DAN VASC
@@valerie_k24 Thank you! I have found it very strange that so many of us (including myself) had never even known there WAS a Dan Vasc, until he published "Amazing Grace." I saw it pop up in my suggestions list, two days after it was released, and, like you, I was immediately blown away. Just...WOW! There are still a few songs here and there on his channel that I haven't heard, but it's been a really fun couple of months getting caught up! 😀
Don't waste your energy & time on these 2.
Certain people you just can't educate.
They don't even know what you're talking about. 😎🤟👎👎👎🤣🤣🤣
@@halkajaworski341 Perhaps, then, it is time to put "these 2" into our prayers. Holy Spirit is well-able to "educate," where sometimes people can't. That's what the whole song "Amazing Grace" is about--revealing Himself to those on Earth who were created by Him...which is ALL of us. "These 2" are no exception. Perhaps this song is actually seeping into their souls (minds, wills, and emotions), even now. We don't know that. Now would be a good time for intercession.
His voice range and breath control are very professional. Cudos to him
Don't waste your energy & time here.
That 2 "brains don't even understand what you're talking about!!!😎🤟👎👎👎🤣🤣🤣
Dan is also classically trained and sings opera just as powerful.
Don't waste your energy & time here.
They don't even understand what you're talking about.😎
You CAN'T educate people if the slightest basics are missing!!😎🤟👎👎👎🤣🤣🤣
Wow, what an underwhelming reaction. How you both can be so flat listening to that kind of talent simply shows your lack of musical understanding. This man is beyond talented across the board and it’s a shame you can’t hear or appreciate it the way it deserves. I surely pray one day that song can literally grip your souls. This rendition is how it was meant to be sung.
Dan chose to do this song to draw more attention to Easter and also because it was his late father's favorite hymn. Speaking of his father, he gave Dan that harmonica when he was secen, and he also does an amazing cover of An American Trilogy as a tribute to his father, just days after his father passed away. Dan is the best singer I've ever heard, bar none! Thanks to him, I'm into bands that I'd never heard before him, especially the metal bands because i , too, bought into the lie that it's just screaming. Dan can truly sing anything!
Dan Vasc in incredible singer with mind-blowing vocal range 🔥
Don't waste your energy & time here.
They don't understand what you're talking about anyway!😎🤟👎👎👎🤣🤣😅🤣🤣
A+ video!
Amazing version of Amazing Grace, especially the vocal performance by Dan Vasc.
Couldn't agree more!
Just so you know--Dan did everything except the mastering, in his Amazing Grace video. His description says this:
"Song credits:
All instruments and vocals arranged and recorded by Dan Vasc
Produced and mixed by Dan Vasc
Mastered by Tony Lindgren
Dan is SO much more than just a good singer. 😀
BEST rendition I've ever heard ... I'm an 80 yr old lady who was not fond of metal, but I'm a fan now. What an amazing God given talent. check out his Angels We Have Heard on High, Music of the Night (Phantom) and Gethsemane
MY mother is 91years years old and when a played this song with Dan she Sayed that song will i have in my Funeral, and she will when that time comes. 💞💞💞💞
Really enjoyed this reaction and the understated British humor. You two make a great team and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Dan Vasc is 8n Brazil he is the frontman for his band called Fearless
Don't waste your energy & time here.
You CAN'T educate everybody.
That 2 are a waste of time as even the basics of education are missing!!!😎🤟👎👎👎🤣🤣🤣
Thanks 😊
Dan made the version of Amazing Grace the best version in mine opinion 💕💕💕💕
I love reviewers who "first believe" they know what their going to get. The better to knock your socks off with.
Great reaction and definitely worth checking out more of his epic content. He sings everything from heavy metal to opera and has tremendous talent. Look forward to seeing if anything else takes your fancy. 🙋🏼♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Don't waste your energy & time on that 2 brains.
They're not worth it!!!😎🤟👎👎👎
I love how raw & delicate he started the song even with the slight echo & with each verse exposing more talent & intensity. Dan Vasc has a God given talent that he has perfected into what it is today. He sang this song the way it was MEANT to be sung with such respect, emotion & with a POWERFUL impact. I FELT the presence of GOD!!! This is the absolute very BEST version of Amazing Grace that I've EVER heard in my ENTIRE life & I'm old (LOL). God BLESS Dan Vasc for sharing his wonderful talent & this video with the world! This is something the entire world could use more of if they only would do just that... use & show God's Amazing Grace! 💕🎶✝️🎶💕
Don't waste your energy & time here.
You can't educate people if the basics are missing!!!
They don't even understand what you're talking about.
Stupidety knows no borders!!!😎🤟👎👎👎🤣🤣🤣
Dan covers Disturbed’s Sound of Silence. Awesome. He has over 200 songs, many of the totally heavy metal. He sings opera, Nessun Dorma. Disney, “I’ll Make a Man Out of You”. You got the harmonica replacing the traditional bagpipes right. Dan’s father gave him the harmonica when he was a child. You might like his cover of “Burn, Butcher, Burn “. Or “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher.”
Don't waste your energy & time on that 2 brains.
They're not worth it!!!😎🤟👎👎👎
Dan sang it for Easter folks. He had Christmas hymns as well.
Don't waste your energy & time on These 2 brains.
It's not worth it!!!😎🤟👎👎👎
Amazing song, great voice. A treat for the ears and eyes 😍.
The witcher cover songs are also recommended
Don't waste your energy & time on that 2 brains.
You won't educate them as even the basics are missing!!!😎🤟👎👎👎
So unfair! For a person like Dan, who worked so hard to achieve what he has become, the very best male singer I know!!!!
I enjoyed that and subbed for more Dan
I love this version! Try Dan's Witcher covers ("Burn, Butcher, Burn", "White Wolf", etc.)
No, because if they react to another song of whoever, it's a waste of time.
Hi guys! Dan sing metal and opera. Listen The Trooper. He sing Nightwish 's songs. Love Brazil.
Don't waste your energy & time on that 2 brains.
You can't educate everybody!!!🤣🤟👎👎👎
Woo hoo, just beautiful
💖🤘
WOW you dudes came really late to Dan's party 🥳🎉
Don't waste your energy & time here!
You CAN'T educate them as even the basics are missing!!!😎🤟👎👎👎
You should listen to Dan’s acoustic version of Loch Lomond, his Opera cover of Nessun Dorma and his metal version of Star Bangled Banner. 👍👍
No, they shouldn't listen to that.
That 2 guys are the very best example that you CAN'T educate everybody. 😎🤟👎👎👎
God showed up...thank you Father God for Dan in Jesus mighty name Amen. Lots of love Dan
Hi I Belive Dan is a Christian. Please try : O HOLY NIGHT- ANGEL WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
NESSUN DORMA

Don't waste your energy & time here.
Some people you just CAN'T educate.
If the basics are missing, it's pointless!!!😎🤟👎👎👎
Isaiah 55:6-7
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked man forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Ozzy Osbourne plays the harmonica
You know we completely forgotten that - and we learned it watching the show he did with Jack.
