Just remember this is produced by Orions Reign not Dan Vasc Orions Reign is not Dans Band, Fearless is. Dan is still fabulous in it but i did find the video distracting. So much of the other people lip singing was not in sync. I prefer to listen to the track rather than watch the video on this one. Just my opinion folks. The video takes away from Dan’s usual perfection. Just my opinion. This audio version is still definitely in my playlist! THUNDERSTRUCK!
Don‘t worry Paul. It isn’t my fav either. It is definitely produced and arranged by Orion’s Reign and traditionally the mixing of the vocals is reduced by a few percent on metal albums. Dan mentioned that and the singer of the German Prog Metal band VANDEN PLAS too
Dan is incredible and you should definitely check Chronicles of Ancient Wisdom by Dan‘s band Fearless. I know that Tale With No End has been suggested as a video for you to react to. You rock, Paul!
Hey brother, Glad you voiced your opinions and thoughts about this rendition. I thank you for doing this Dan Vasc reaction video!!! Have an amazing day!!! 🤗👏🏼
Well I have never liked that song so mutch. Too bad it wasn’t Dan’s own band. I think they made this song messy. Too mutch that happened. I like it when it’s Dan alone or with his band.
This is indeed the best Thunderstrack rendition out there! It' just so intense , it's exactley the kind of energy and emotion the dong needs! Dan Vasc is unbelieveble! This video is criminally underratet! Thanks for the reaction! 😊
😂... Don't stress..... It's a matter of taste. Normal. But I think the song is sensational 🤘❤️. Until the next Dan Vasc reaction. I'm looking forward to it.
I just love this song from Dan with Orion’s Reign only thing not so sure about is the video. I prefer to just listen to it as I find it too busy and not enough of Dan doing his thing. 🤭
Not to worry - as a reactor you have to give your honest opinion or you wouldn't be true to yourself! This one is a bit more frenetic and as an Orion's Reign production, doesn't have as much of the creatively planned "Dan" touches that his own productions have. Even so, I like this - it's on a different path from his normal performances, but done with a fun spirit. Onward and upward to the next reaction! Loving your Dan week!!
It's a music video with fans produced by the Greek band Orion s Reign that Dan sang with them for almost 3 years, tks and I love the song, the video and Dan with all my heart.
WOW!! Just when you think you know somebody… I was so sure you were gonna love this one😢. No problem though. I love it, but I don’t have an emotional attachment to the original. I actually love the symphonic and operatic feel that is in this one. “Orion’s Reign” is a Greek symphonic metal band. Dan was a session singer for a couple years although he was actually listed as a band member on their album “Scores of War”. Dan has also done several Christmas songs with them - usually with a female singer named Minniva.
@@Paul-PharaohTV no problem. Everyone has different tastes and that is a good thing because it would be a very one dimensional world otherwise. You have plenty of other Dan songs that you have loved and I am sure there are more in the future. I enjoy every one of Dan’s songs but there are a few I have said “nice job, but not really my cup of tea”.
@@CathleenGreen-z1u Agreed. 😀 There are, I think, three of Dan's songs that I don't care for (not because of how he presented them ... just because I don't like the subjects, and never liked the songs in the first place). Actually, in a couple MORE of them, I NOW understand what they were about, and I like Dan's version of them, whereas, before I would never have listened to them at ALL! That's the way it is, for me at least, with Dan's music. 😀
@@GrandmasGotGraceLW yes, I suspect maybe NSP songs are difficult for some people. There are a few that are quite funny but one or two I just can’t get into. They were a band I had never heard of but there’s actually a couple of them I like, but not something I ever would’ve picked originally. Dan can really make a song that was ho hum powerful; he can take a song that, as you say, I didn’t really like, and then I find it very enjoyable. I’ve often thought it would be fascinating to do a brain scan of people as they listen to his music his voice is almost an addiction. I just know I always feel better when I listen to him.
Thank you for your honest reaction to this cover of Orion's Reign with Dan as guest singer. It's a matter of taste, of course........I personally don't like some videos with Dan that he didn't make himself. There's no question that his vocal presence is great. I prefer his own cover versions, which he was able to produce according to his ideas. Thanks for sharing.....
I really like Dan's vocals, but the video was produced by Orion's Reign (as mentioned above) and not by Dan. Dan was the lead singer in the band for about 2 years (I think 2015-2017) and also recorded an album with them. Thanks to you and don't worry, no one will hate you for speaking your mind. 🤗 I look forward to your next reaction.
Boa tarde! Obrigada pelo vídeo! O DAN VASC é incrível único espetacular impecável magnífico não se tem mais palavras para um talento NATO é ÚNICO!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Valeu sua reação Show 👍😊
Hey, to each his own. I think Orion's Reign and Dan Vasc took a bad ass song and made it more bad as! I love metal and power metal and symphonic metal are my favorites.
Well, I disagree with your opinion, but appreciate the reaction. I personally like this version even better than the original. As far as history: This isn't a Dan Vasc cover. It's an Orion's Reign cover. They are a symphonic metal band. So yes, all the musicians are members of Orion's reign. The other people are just friends of the band who were included for fun. This was back when Dan did a lot of session work for Orion's Reign -- so much so that for a time they listed him as their lead singer - which he allowed, until they signed with a record label at which point Dan amicably parted ways with them. He didn't want a record label having control over his work. That's why he and his band never signed with a record label. Dan and his band Fearless were actually in talks/negotiations with a record label at one point. He/they discovered the label would have total creative authority over the music, would keep 88% of all proceeds, and Dan and the band wouldn't even be allowed to do any "non-approved" interviews.
If you don't like it, so be it, not everything will always go the way you like it. There is also 1 or 2 I listened to only once or twice, everyone is different.
I do personally love this one, but it is definitely a matter of personal taste. I can totally understand how it might not be to some people's taste for sure. There is definitely a lot going on, and it is so different from the original.
I'm not upset with you about your reaction to this cover. I'm not entirely fond of it, either, though I think Dan, himself, did a FINE job with it, and I think there are parts that are either "cute," or "funny." Orion's Reign had hired Dan to be a Session Singer. They never were together locationally. Dan was still in Brazil, and Orion's Reign was still in Greece. In MOST of their songs in which Dan participated (through digital participation), they gave him credit. In THIS song (and believe me, I have searched high and low), I have not been able to find one single credit given to him, for anything at all IN the song (or for anything else, for that matter). His name simply isn't there (anywhere) that I have been able to find. Considering the fact that, honestly, Dan IS the song in this cover, I think that's pretty rude and disappointing. Otherwise, regarding how the song was put together, I think all of the credits WERE given, for the band members, and for the others (like the college students) who had their little parts. I believe the idea for all of that, was that they were supposed to be illustrations of what it was like when the song first came out, and everyone, everywhere (worldwide) (including me, because ACDC was actually a band I listened to back then), was suddenly THUNDERSTRUCK! 😀Even in the little town of Porterville, California (where I lived at that time -- 1990), everyone was pretty much mesmerized by it, and it was being sung and shouted EVERYWHERE! I'm glad you reacted to it, because that gives Dan's part of it another boost. 😀
Thank you! Don't apologize - as you say, everyone has different tastes. I like the symphonic feel, but wish they had left the fans out and featured Dan all the way through. I really like a couple of other covers of Thnderstruck, but will not burden you with those.
The guys are all fans, This is the best version ever... Its a different version, Synphonic Metal Version...I love it and its in my Fav top 5 Dan covers.... Dans voice is much better than the original
I do prefer Dan’s style of videos much better. This one was a bit too busy for me. I don’t hate it… But it’s not my favorite. I think most of us appreciate you being honest in your reaction and not just pretending to love everything 100%.
Love the vocals and music. But I also find the video distracting. I don’t believe Dan had much input there. Or maybe his funnybone kicked in. It’s not the fans joining in , it’s the producing, the video is jarring to some degree and the lip singing by fans is not exactly in sync. Not dissing the fans but the production. So it’s discordant for me. But the song is still in my iPhone playlist. I love it.
@@Paul-PharaohTVI have subscribed to very many channels, about 100, but are just member of 3. Dan Vasc, Viking Reacts and You. Because you are genuine, honest and you make me smile so much. That’s why.❤
Please Everyone, Don't take this reaction video personally. Dan is Incredible and I love his music. This was still Great but...

I will definitely give it another go!
Thank you so much Margot!!
Oh, Orion's Reign. He sang with them for a while. I like him better now by himself, although he can do no wrong.
He is amazing Gloria!
😂... Don't stress..... It's a matter of taste. Normal. But I think the song is sensational 🤘❤️. Until the next Dan Vasc reaction. I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you Kristina!! 😊
Orion's reign asked their fans to send footage and they added it to the video. Dan was a session singer for them for around 2 years
That’s awesome and a great idea :)
Der Mann mit den tausend Stimmen ❤ . Ich liebe dieses Lied mit Dan Vasc. Hammerknaller 🤘

Ok awesome!!

did ya catch the backward facing guitar lol?
Hahaha I didn’t
This is by far 100% better than the original... Synphonic metal Version ...its epic

He did a complete album with Orion’s Reign called scores of War
Ok awesome
I am not that familiar with the original, but I enjoy this version.

Not a favorite, but with over 200 videos, there’s something for everyone. I agree, I do like the Celtic vibe, though.
Heck yeah there is
Too bad it wasn’t Dan’s band and just Dan. I think it was so messy. But his voice is the same. So just listen and don’t looking is better for me.

Don't apologize. I'm not a big fan of it either. Some of Dan's songs I don't care for as much as others, but I still love Dan. So I understand.
Thank you so much Diana
Not my fave by far. He did some fun Christmas caroles with them for your holiday special.
I will be doing a full Christmas list in December and I will add all of Dan’s as well
I dont anything about the video, i listen to dan vasc singing..
I cant watch because of my adhd..
To distrected..
You are not alone. I dont have ADHD but I also can’t watch the video. I find it totally distracting. I also just listen to this one. Rock on!
I fully understand. I will try just listening to the song by itself and see what I feel after that .
