This rendition is that of a superstar, nothing short of it. It truly stands as Dan Vasc's best cover of any song he has ever done, and those who are familiar with his work, understand what it means. Great when Dan's voice in E6 seamlessly goes over to the guitar sound! I especially love these Irish vibes, that Garrett J Peters shreds on his guitar. He already did some amazing renditions with Dan, and maybe there's more to come. These are two metal musicians that not only excel in producing high-quality metal music but also embody the essence and attitude typically associated with the metal genre.
Isn't it fascinating how tastes can vary? For me, it's one of his weakest covers; the speed doesn't do the song any justice, robbing it of its entire pathos and drama - and I say that as a die-hard Power/Speed Metal fan. But no hard feelings, Cheers!
Thank goodness it is not the original version! Metal makes everything better!🤘 Dan and Garrett not only revived a dead song but made it so very much more listenable !
I have read comments in different places from people complaining about this cover. Fans of Dan who gripe that it's not the way he did Amazing Grace or that it's different from Celine's rendition. And that's the whole point. Why would anyone be compelled to copy Celine? Her version is iconic and stands alone (even though I personally don't care for it). I also think it became quite tiresome and sappy after a while. Dan's whole purpose was to turn that song on it's head. This cover is invigorating, mesmerizing, completely unique and original. It makes an almost 70 year old grandmother want to get up and jump around the room! In my humble opinion, THIS is nothing short of a MASTER STROKE of genius.
agree completely . Celine’s version was my song that expressed my heart when my husband was tragically passed on 25 years ago. Dan’s version was like hearing my husband singing it back to me. He loved metal!! This song brings so much joy to my heart
Tell you something: if it had been Daniel singing this song originally, the Titanic wouldn't have sunk. In fact, I think the iceberg itself melted on its own… 🤣🤣🤣 Finally this song made sense!! Thank you for your reaction! Hugs from Curitiba - Brazil 🇧🇷 Obs: Este homem é uma tempestade!! 😃
I have never seen the Titanic movie and although I like Celine Dion, I have never been fond of this dreary and mournful 'girl song'. Dan has given it a major shakeup and a vitality that the original song lacked and now it really kicks butt. Another awesome and Dantastic cover from Dan! Thanks for a great reaction.
When you first heard Amazing Grace did you ever think you would just shrug your shoulders and say”Ah, it’s just classic Dan”? We are all evolving and this man just makes my day happier.
So happy to see you reacting to this amazing Dan rendition. I have never liked this song, but man! I love it now. Not only does Dan blow it out of the water, but he knows how to put together the perfect teams and gives credit where it's due. This guy is a great person too.
I love Dan's version. As someone who was a teen when this song originally came out, I can say I went from loving it loathing it. It was so overplayed in the 90s and my grandmother loved that stupid movie.
Thanks for your reaction. Actually, I didn't and don't miss anything in their rendition of this song. It makes me smile and I have so much fun, watching it and all those reaction since it was published, I just can't stop, it has absolutely got me addicted. 🥰🤩😍
Great reaction thank you! Dan did his thing and this song is a whole new entity lol. I love the fast power metal and his voice always. This song in its original version I usually mute or skip over simply because it makes me feel low. Dans version is so triumphant that you can’t help but feel that. It was so clear to see in the video the smile on his face that there was a lot of fun doing this. I can’t wait to see what he’s going to Dan Vasc next!!
Geat reaction. Dan always respects the artists he covers. Love this version as it is a fantastic version. For me, Dan and Garret took a very sad song and made it very joyful.
I always look forward to your analysis of Dan. He truly ramped it up for a completely different spin on this classic. But his vocals are just awesome. I could have listened to him sing the whole song like he did in the breakdown but he added that powerful beat and made it really special. Thanks so much and I look forward to the next one.
Thank you so much for your review. Love it to see what his music does to you. It explane to me that I am not going crazy at my 62. Never thought I would feel me 26 again, greatings from Holland Silva 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Dan own this song now this man is a genius in turning wonderful pieces into something truly epic Dan owns utube lol this man deserves 10 million subscribers this man needs to be k own all over the world I think he fell out of the sky live your reaction my friend this was bombastic fantastic
I sooooo love how every thing he does is calculated to get the MOST out of every move and puts those growls and gritty screams in the places most effective!!!!!
Thank you for the fun reaction, Ken. I'm glad you liked the arrangement, basically, at least. Personally, I didn't think anything at all was missing, but then I've listened to it carefully about 24 times, now (could be more...I stopped counting at 12). Some have been through reactions -- most have been on Dan's video -- just because I LOVE IT. Partly, I think I don't miss anything, because it's very much how I might have re-arranged it, myself. Also, it's because our entire family (12 people, mind you...ages 74 , 70 , 45 , 38 , and their eight children -- ages 19, 16, 14, 13, 11, nearly-9, nearly-7, and 4 -- six boys & two girls), is TOTALLY and ABSOLUTELY in love with this version of a song that has already been beloved by all of us, from a long time back. None of us think there's anything missing at all, in Gabriel's arrangement of the song, Garrett's playing, or Dan's singing. When Judi and I were watching it together again, and again, and AGAIN, yesterday, with three kids sitting at computers and five of them roaming back and forth from the living room to the computer room where we were gathered, while chiming in with their lovely singing voices every time they came through the archway, everyone was having a GRAND time. The 14-year old boy sitting at one of the computers hit and HELD the E6. A bit surprised, Judi ran the video back, then confirmed the E6 (while Isaiah hit and held it again), on the keyboard that also graces the computer room He has a fantastic ear, an equally fantastic quality of voice, a HUGE range, and -- in his very skinny (but lithe) body -- WONDERFUL breath control. He can hold extreme notes for at least 35 seconds, as if it's NOTHING! We were timing him just two weeks ago, as he harmonized with a VERY high (not squealed, yelled, or otherwise-treated) final note of the happy-birthday-song being sung to the just-turned-four-year-old. He was SEATED both that day and yesterday, too! Anyway...thanks again for bringing us another fun reaction to this song.
You should record Isaiah singing along with the ending of Dan’s “Black Wind, Fire and Steel” which is “only” 30 seconds 😜 so should be no problem for him. That would be a treasured recording.
Yay, I've been waiting for your reaction! Dan's chest explosion right after Garrett's guitar magic takes my breath away, so emotional. One moment that is so cool, but none of my "favorite" channel reactors has mentioned, is with Dan's scream @1:51 in his video (3:57 in yours) and Garrett using the tremelo arm to mimic it right after~~~love it. Thanks for reacting.
The original was ok. But holy toledo Dan's took my breath away... it's no longer a very sad, heart-wrenching song... It's full of life and promise... Gotta' love that man and his voice.... His arrangements , etc. Oh, before I forget, anyone who might be watching this, if you haven't subscribed to Dan's Channel, please do so now. We want to get him above that million. No idea Why he wasn't there sooner. Don't Lurk, subscriber.... ❤😂 Thank you for your reaction.

So excited for Dan, that he's over the million mark now! I think all of us requesting his music to all these reaction videos has helped get his awesomeness out to more people. Dan puts himself in every song & makes us feel like we're there with him!
Thank you for this reaction video for Dan’s EPIC rendition! Great comments! Appreciate your love and support of Dan!! Have a blessed and joy-filled day! 🤗
Thank you for bringing us this amazing song!! I love Dan - he is such a powerful singer. I love watching his face. He was truly enjoying the song and it’s heartfelt message. I love the classical touches - the extended phrases and grace notes at the ends of the phrases. This one does indeed take my breath away.
THAT MOMENT is my favorite! I watched a different vocal coach do an analysis of this performance and she described that moment perfectly! She said that moment (and the other times when Dan’s just about to sing) reminded her of somebody at the starting line of a race, excitedly anticipating jumping in to start the race…. like he’s holding back, and just can’t wait to jump in to it!😊🤗
Just one thing that you commented on, Ken, about looking for Dan's performance to add or do a little something different from the original. He basically sticks to what made the song great in the first place without showing any disrespect to the original artist. He never belittles any cover that he performs. That's just how he is. This rendition showed the POWER and ENERGY needed to update this song for today's metal standards. I'm thrilled that Garrett showcased his incredible guitar skills. They're a powerful duo. Thanks for featuring this amazing video! I really do like your take on artist's endeavors. Hail VascNation!! ❤
I enjoyed your reaction. I love the energy and the fact that Dan is smiling through the whole song. It did seem a bit like a runaway train. But Dans energy and enjoyment and Garrets beautiful guitar sounds make me like it anyway. I love seeing Dan smiling with what seems to be real joy in this and other songs he does. Energy and joy are contagious.
They did it their way and it was awesome! 🤘🤘 It was perfect, they turned a sad song into an uplifting power metal anthem, that was the thing, Ken. Now for a perfect mix of metal and 2 whistle solos, there's Eluveitie (Helvetie) and Rebirth.
Absolutely love this version, but when he slowed it down a bit, OMGosh, that voice, he gave me goosebumps on my goosebumps!!! Thank you for your reaction.
agreed. when he slowed it down his voice went into that sweet spot where he really shines. but, the whole song done that way would not have been dynamic enough to bring it out of the sad song that preceeded it.
I really like your Dan Vasc reactions. Dan and Garrett turned this iconic sad song into a powerful metal masterpiece. I love Dan and everything he does! Thank you so much!
I think Dan the man is a genius at his craft so amazing this man needs to be recognized world wide he is that good he can sing anything and I mean anything we love this man he helped me my mom just went to see our Heavenly Father and my heart will go on love your Dan reactions as always thank you my friend
Creating a totally new song, without changing any of the words of the original.. Dan and Garrett have created a triumphant power anthem.. no longer a sad song of love lost, fitting for the film... but a celebration of love found. Everything about this version was done perfectly in my mind at least. Prayers and thoughts for the wonderful Celine as she fights her illness. thank you Ken as always love from UK
Dan Vasc is incredible as usual! Epic is an understatement! It did take me a minute to get used to the tempo tho. You commented on the orchestration, I loved the choir, there could have been more of that but I think there are always ways to tweak things, but overall this cover is amazing. To me all of the covers he as done over this last year just keep getting better and better. Thank you for your great review!
Dan Vasc turned this iconic song into a wonderful power metal one. He totally changed it adding his own flare,his own brand of intensity, energy,power and personal metal style making it his own. Absolutely stunning. GarrettJPeters did a phenomenal job on the guitar. Mindblowing. Great reaction and analysis and excellent comments.
Dan Vasc gets better with each listen, everything melted for me not just the iceberg...and with each subsequent listen it's even better...Excellent performance from Dan and Garrett...wonderful reaction, thank you for that 🔥🤘🤩❤️🧚♀️
My new favorite Dan video. Loved this version. I compare it to a roller coaster with the intro leading us up that long crawl to the top. Then its full steam as Dan and Garrett drive us through the curves - left then right, through the corkscrews, around the loopdeloop never losing speed until they finally reach the end where the coaster car comes to a stop. Out of breath we can't wait to go for another ride. i think it was a perfect blend of staying true to the lyrics while upgrading the music from coach to first class. What stands out (beyond the guitars, drums, piano,, and vocals) are the glimpses of Dan and Garretts personalites as they appear to be having so much fun recording this. Imagine this as the finallity of the Super Bowl halftime show.
If you never knew this song needed a guitar solo that shreds, now you do. This is such a great cover, and I'll keep coming back for it again and again. Please react to his cover of I'll Make a Man out of You from Mulan. It's so fun!
For years and years i hated this song - every time it's played on radio i switched it off... This is the first (and only) version i'm in love with - can't stop listen ^^. This man is really outstanding, phenomenal and must be from another planet! Never heard such a great voice before... Thanks for your great reaction and greetings from germany ^^
Thanks for a great reaction! Dan is amazing and makes everything better. I love it the way they did it. Yes, they could have done more, but I like how they stuck to the original, but just turned it to metal. 😍
Hey Ken \m/ What can I say?!?! I'm beside myself! This rendition was beyond words!!! This song was waiting for this strong, powerful and epic version from Dan. He did what he promised, turned the saddest song in the world into a battle anthem of power metal \m/ 💥💪🔥🛡⚔️🎸 . Dan is a genius, he proved that any song can become metal \m/ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Only he could make this masterpiece 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Garrett's guitar was fantastic 🎸All the musicians were brilliant! Thank you for sharing this explosion of energy 💥🔥💥
Thank you for your carefully worded reaction. This is the first time I've listened to you since you cast aspersions on Dan's quality of performance o In an earlier review
I think they did great. Played homage to the old version by having the slow part at the end and incorporating similar vibrata.. amazing.. In the end there was only so much they can do playing around with a song until it becomes unrecognizable from the original. They did a great job of balancing it imo
Hi Ken, thank you for your response to this epic cover by Dan and his guitarist Garrett. I'll be honest, I've never seen this movie. He's just not for me. I read a lot about the song in advance and, among other things, that Celine Dion didn't want to sing it at all, oops. I would imagine that in some ways it was a blessing but also a curse for Dion. Dan and Garrett rocked it out and turned the saddest song in the world into an anthem for me. I've never played a song as many times in 3 days as this one. It's just fun and in a good mood. This is what the world needs right now.........
And I've also read around the place that Celine has not really enjoyed having to sing the song over and over and over, as it's definitely not her favourite.
Hello Ken - I love Dan Vasc. It is sad that Celine Dion is battling with illness. I would love to hear a duet between Celine and Dan. I think that could/would have been amazing. Lovely regards Nima from Denmark
Love this! You are always so on point with your reactions. Love learning from you. Dan takes us into the stratosphere, and the guitar guys and drummer kill it! What a awe-inspiring cover!
KEN open your mind that's why I like hearing your reactions. Believe it or not I heard it right after he did it amazing absolutely amazing right after I saw a full concert of Celine also amazing two different genres same song, mind blowing! Ken you're one of the best give Dan his do.😊❤ OH forgot to mention Garrett Peters OUTSTANDING💯
Happy to see a reaction from you - I always look forward to your insights. Your tactful comments about what you felt was missing were interesting - I felt like I've felt in the past during riding lessons. "Well, yes, that was good, but now come around and do it again, but do it better this time." Your teacher genes are showing ;-) Which is a good thing! Thanks for the reaction!
I think if Dan metallized this song anymore, the spirit of the song would be lost. Of course, it’s just an opinion. I think it’s amazing and I love it!
The guitar player, Garrett, has worked with Dan before. Look up “Carry On” and “Dawn Over a New World”. (In that one Garrett did drums, bass, guitars and some of the mixing.) Dan said Garrett will also be working with him and Eric July (Rippa) on an original upcoming song. Did you hear that? AN ORIGINAL! I’m excited to hear that.
This version made me absolutely love this song! Full of power, heart, and real emotion! By Celine - and I've enjoyed other songs by her - it was meh, flat, sappy, blah, boring, and it didn't make me feel anything at all. It was just lyrics and music.
I found your "criticism" to be very interesting. I think if he and Garrett had put more of their own flourishes (for lack of better term) in this they would have been widely criticized. I appreciate your analysis of Dan's vocal work a lot and as I know very little of the technicals of such work so I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it. I do understand what you are saying about what is "lacking" but I think this was respectful to the original while giving it a whole different feel and therefore conveying a whole different message.
It's fun knowing that statistically speaking, this version of My Heart Will Go On is the first glorious introduction to Dan Vasc that many folks will wind up having.
Power ballads for life!!!! So much emotion and power!! Dan Vasc never fails to impress!
This rendition is that of a superstar, nothing short of it. It truly stands as Dan Vasc's best cover of any song he has ever done, and those who are familiar with his work, understand what it means. Great when Dan's voice in E6 seamlessly goes over to the guitar sound! I especially love these Irish vibes, that Garrett J Peters shreds on his guitar. He already did some amazing renditions with Dan, and maybe there's more to come. These are two metal musicians that not only excel in producing high-quality metal music but also embody the essence and attitude typically associated with the metal genre.
Yes, Garrett mimicked that scream perfectly!
So very well said🙏🏻
Isn't it fascinating how tastes can vary? For me, it's one of his weakest covers; the speed doesn't do the song any justice, robbing it of its entire pathos and drama - and I say that as a die-hard Power/Speed Metal fan. But no hard feelings, Cheers!
Yes, musical taste is very subjective. What is his best cover for you?@@leroyjenkins4165
@leroyjenkins4165 glad not everyone likes the same thing... how boring that would be lol
Thank goodness it is not the original version! Metal makes everything better!🤘 Dan and Garrett not only revived a dead song but made it so very much more listenable !
🤘
❤
Totally agree.🤘
I don't agree with "a dead song,"..... both songs can be appreciated and loved! At the same time, they are the same and different! I love them both!
Agree!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I never expected to become a metal fan at my age. But Dan Vasc and Tommy Johansson made it possible. ❤
holy crap, could you imagine that crossover?
There is absodamnlutey nothing this man can’t sing!! I’m OLD and I love this!!!
Someway, somehow, I hope Celine sees and hears Dan’s version. Thank you Ken.
Absolutely no sinking feeling here. I still haven't come down from this high.
Cute! 😀
This my new happy song! Thank you for your review!
The his song is phenomenal.
This man is magic!!!
His version slapped me and knocked me off my feet.
Dan and Garrett melted the icebergs with this mind-blowing sound that we rockers love and didn't let the TITANIC sink. Tks 😊❤
Yay, Jack lives!
I have read comments in different places from people complaining about this cover. Fans of Dan who gripe that it's not the way he did Amazing Grace or that it's different from Celine's rendition.

I also think it became quite tiresome and sappy after a while. Dan's whole purpose was to turn that song on it's head. This cover is invigorating, mesmerizing, completely unique and original. It makes an almost 70 year old grandmother want to get up and jump around the room! In my humble opinion, THIS is nothing short of a MASTER STROKE of genius.

I love Dan's version. As someone who was a teen when this song originally came out, I can say I went from loving it loathing it. It was so overplayed in the 90s and my grandmother loved that stupid movie.

I heard a warriors song for a warrior.
Kind of what Celine is dealing with in her life. I Loved the energy.
AGREED! Dan is the ultimate warrior, and he proves it in both the songs he sings AND the way he shows his strong, strong heart in so many other ways.
He took something sad and turned it into one of joy, lol

Hail VascNation!! ❤
YES! Well-said! Thank you! 😀
I enjoyed your reaction. I love the energy and the fact that Dan is smiling through the whole song. It did seem a bit like a runaway train. But Dans energy and enjoyment and Garrets beautiful guitar sounds make me like it anyway. I love seeing Dan smiling with what seems to be real joy in this and other songs he does. Energy and joy are contagious.
Fricking masterpiece of triumphant love!
Thank you for excellent analysis. I just found Dan Vasc two days ago and I am so far down this rabbit hole of immense gratitude and wonder.❤
They did it their way and it was awesome! 🤘🤘
It was perfect, they turned a sad song into an uplifting power metal anthem, that was the thing, Ken.
Now for a perfect mix of metal and 2 whistle solos, there's Eluveitie (Helvetie) and Rebirth.
Absolutely love this version, but when he slowed it down a bit, OMGosh, that voice, he gave me goosebumps on my goosebumps!!! Thank you for your reaction.
agreed. when he slowed it down his voice went into that sweet spot where he really shines. but, the whole song done that way would not have been dynamic enough to bring it out of the sad song that preceeded it.
@@mlincoln1 yes totally. But still loved that bit lol.
How blessed we are to have Dan, his gifted friends, and together, their incredible talent in our lives!!!!
AMEN!
The are no other words to describe Dan and the guitarist performance of this rendition than “absolutely frigging DANTASTIC!”
I really like your Dan Vasc reactions. Dan and Garrett turned this iconic sad song into a powerful metal masterpiece. I love Dan and everything he does! Thank you so much!
Amazing and spectacular!!❤❤ Love the power and energy from Dan and Garrett's guitarring was🔥 Totally love this. Thankyou.
No sadness but a power anthem full of life!
Dan is spectacular with his version and I love he showcases his friend's' talent...He would SLAY Celine's version without any doubt 🥰
I think Dan the man is a genius at his craft so amazing this man needs to be recognized world wide he is that good he can sing anything and I mean anything we love this man he helped me my mom just went to see our Heavenly Father and my heart will go on love your Dan reactions as always thank you my friend
Wonderful reaction, I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this one.
Creating a totally new song, without changing any of the words of the original.. Dan and Garrett have created a triumphant power anthem.. no longer a sad song of love lost, fitting for the film... but a celebration of love found. Everything about this version was done perfectly in my mind at least. Prayers and thoughts for the wonderful Celine as she fights her illness. thank you Ken as always love from UK
Dan Vasc is simply amazing. Dragonforce does a fun metal version of this one too.
Love your reactions. Dan is awesome as usual! Thanks❤
Dan Vasc is incredible as usual! Epic is an understatement! It did take me a minute to get used to the tempo tho. You commented on the orchestration, I loved the choir, there could have been more of that but I think there are always ways to tweak things, but overall this cover is amazing. To me all of the covers he as done over this last year just keep getting better and better. Thank you for your great review!
Dan Vasc is amazing!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Veronica here. Not normally a metal fan but Dan has me as a real fan. I love your input about the pros and cons. I learn so much from you. Thanks
Dan Vasc turned this iconic song into a wonderful power metal one. He totally changed it adding his own flare,his own brand of intensity, energy,power and personal metal style making it his own. Absolutely stunning. GarrettJPeters did a phenomenal job on the guitar. Mindblowing.
Great reaction and analysis and excellent comments.
Dan Vasc gets better with each listen, everything melted for me not just the iceberg...and with each subsequent listen it's even better...Excellent performance from Dan and Garrett...wonderful reaction, thank you for that
🔥🤘🤩❤️🧚♀️
Hi Ken. Thank you for your epic reaction. 😊
My new favorite Dan video. Loved this version. I compare it to a roller coaster with the intro leading us up that long crawl to the top. Then its full steam as Dan and Garrett drive us through the curves - left then right, through the corkscrews, around the loopdeloop never losing speed until they finally reach the end where the coaster car comes to a stop. Out of breath we can't wait to go for another ride. i think it was a perfect blend of staying true to the lyrics while upgrading the music from coach to first class. What stands out (beyond the guitars, drums, piano,, and vocals) are the glimpses of Dan and Garretts personalites as they appear to be having so much fun recording this. Imagine this as the finallity of the Super Bowl halftime show.
Also, it's very clear that Dan really DOES believe that, "...the heart DOES go on..." 😀
Yes. Your roller coster ride analogy is a great description of feeling of the tremendous energy in this song.
If you never knew this song needed a guitar solo that shreds, now you do. This is such a great cover, and I'll keep coming back for it again and again.
Please react to his cover of I'll Make a Man out of You from Mulan. It's so fun!
In my opinion, Dan is not afraid to be bold and innovate. His technique is perfect and his interpretations are always powerful. Thanks
For years and years i hated this song - every time it's played on radio i switched it off... This is the first (and only) version i'm in love with - can't stop listen ^^. This man is really outstanding, phenomenal and must be from another planet! Never heard such a great voice before... Thanks for your great reaction and greetings from germany ^^
Thanks for a great reaction! Dan is amazing and makes everything better. I love it the way they did it. Yes, they could have done more, but I like how they stuck to the original, but just turned it to metal. 😍
Hey Ken \m/ What can I say?!?! I'm beside myself! This rendition was beyond words!!! This song was waiting for this strong, powerful and epic version from Dan. He did what he promised, turned the saddest song in the world into a battle anthem of power metal \m/ 💥💪🔥🛡⚔️🎸 . Dan is a genius, he proved that any song can become metal \m/ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Only he could make this masterpiece 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Garrett's guitar was fantastic 🎸All the musicians were brilliant! Thank you for sharing this explosion of energy 💥🔥💥
Thanks! Love your reactions and insights. Hail the Vasc-Nation ❤!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH BETTER than the original
Thank you for your carefully worded reaction. This is the first time I've listened to you since you cast aspersions on Dan's quality of performance o
In an earlier review
The guitar is awesome, and his voice is in the right key so I as a female can sing along with it.
EPIC MASTERPIECE, The resurrection of the Titanic.😮
Whooped and hollered as I was listening. Amazing!
I think they did great. Played homage to the old version by having the slow part at the end and incorporating similar vibrata.. amazing.. In the end there was only so much they can do playing around with a song until it becomes unrecognizable from the original. They did a great job of balancing it imo
I totally agree! 😀
Did you hear the choir 1:25 ?
I was wondering, too. He didn't mention it. 😀
Hi Ken, thank you for your response to this epic cover by Dan and his guitarist Garrett. I'll be honest, I've never seen this movie. He's just not for me. I read a lot about the song in advance and, among other things, that Celine Dion didn't want to sing it at all, oops. I would imagine that in some ways it was a blessing but also a curse for Dion. Dan and Garrett rocked it out and turned the saddest song in the world into an anthem for me. I've never played a song as many times in 3 days as this one. It's just fun and in a good mood. This is what the world needs right now.........
Trust me, you're not missing much by not seeing the movie, as the dang boat still sinks, just as it did in real life 🤷😹
And I've also read around the place that Celine has not really enjoyed having to sing the song over and over and over, as it's definitely not her favourite.
@@askara_755 That's right, the Titanic is sinking and people are still dying today who make their way there as tourists.
Hello Ken - I love Dan Vasc. It is sad that Celine Dion is battling with illness. I would love to hear a duet between Celine and Dan. I think that could/would have been amazing. Lovely regards Nima from Denmark
I've been awaiting your reaction Ken!!!👍👍
Love this! You are always so on point with your reactions. Love learning from you. Dan takes us into the stratosphere, and the guitar guys and drummer kill it! What a awe-inspiring cover!
KEN open your mind that's why I like hearing your reactions. Believe it or not I heard it right after he did it amazing absolutely amazing right after I saw a full concert of Celine also amazing two different genres same song, mind blowing! Ken you're one of the best give Dan his do.😊❤ OH forgot to mention Garrett Peters OUTSTANDING💯
Great reaction on a great performance - thank you❣
Happy to see a reaction from you - I always look forward to your insights. Your tactful comments about what you felt was missing were interesting - I felt like I've felt in the past during riding lessons. "Well, yes, that was good, but now come around and do it again, but do it better this time." Your teacher genes are showing ;-) Which is a good thing! Thanks for the reaction!
❤
Love this version ❤❤❤
I think if Dan metallized this song anymore, the spirit of the song would be lost. Of course, it’s just an opinion. I think it’s amazing and I love it!
The guitar player, Garrett, has worked with Dan before. Look up “Carry On” and “Dawn Over a New World”. (In that one Garrett did drums, bass, guitars and some of the mixing.) Dan said Garrett will also be working with him and Eric July (Rippa) on an original upcoming song. Did you hear that? AN ORIGINAL! I’m excited to hear that.
YES! ME TOO! 😀
The drive high note on 3:08 is out of this world. Jesus Christ...
This version made me absolutely love this song! Full of power, heart, and real emotion! By Celine - and I've enjoyed other songs by her - it was meh, flat, sappy, blah, boring, and it didn't make me feel anything at all. It was just lyrics and music.
its a masterpiece hoooooly man
Sorry Celine,this song belongs to Dan now and cudo to the guitar player to.👏🏽👏🏽💞💞🤘🏽🤘🏽
I completely saw Mel Gibson as Braveheart in my head. I loved it.
INTERESTING! That's something that didn't occur to me at all, but...yeah!
I actually hated the original of this song, but man, this version is great! It’s rawly powerful and beautiful at the same time.
Awesome Dan.❤❤❤. Garret is amazing.😊. Love listening to your analysis. ❤
I found your "criticism" to be very interesting. I think if he and Garrett had put more of their own flourishes (for lack of better term) in this they would have been widely criticized. I appreciate your analysis of Dan's vocal work a lot and as I know very little of the technicals of such work so I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it. I do understand what you are saying about what is "lacking" but I think this was respectful to the original while giving it a whole different feel and therefore conveying a whole different message.
i fucking love this man, light as shit and heavy as fuck this is awesome
Only Dan Vasc can pull this rendition off! I think it’s very powerful, but I do love the slower original! Dan never disappoints!
It's fun knowing that statistically speaking, this version of My Heart Will Go On is the first glorious introduction to Dan Vasc that many folks will wind up having.
I LOVE DAN VASC, METAL IS TRUE AND GO TO THE HEART OF IT. ONE OF DAN’S BEST SONG TO GO WITH AND GARRETT IS SO……GOOD 😊
