Don't mind the wimps.

With 1 finger, you became an American Patriot. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOU DO.

I’m a 79 year old woman who just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. When you started to say you were going to apologize, I thought, “Oh, no!“ But then when I watched further, I thought, “Good for you!“ Don’t apologize. I love your music. Your voice is just about the best male voice out there! Keep singing!

Good for you Dan!!!! You have one more subscriber! Good luck getting to 1 million.

G'day mate from Australia. Best apology of all time. I was worried at first thinking why apologise. Then the finger. Well done. God bless you and America

Yes!!! This made me a bigger fan. I know it's 4 years old, but man... I'm so glad you didn't give in to the haters. Bravo! 👏👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

No Dan, we didn't click on it expecting to find an apology, we clicked because we know you are full of fun and mischief! And you didn't disappoint!!

Love you Dan for sticking up for us and America ❤❤

Another example of your lovable sense of humor, morals, beliefs and captivating personality who lives his convictions. Keep ‘em coming!! And, I do live in the US.

I started to groan when I first clicked on this thinking, " Noooooo Dan, apologizing for WHAT...not you....😢😢😢THEN THE BEST response actually happened...BRAVO❤ ❤❤I was so proud of you as an artist who has no reason to apologize EVER for anything your talented self does...❤❤❤❤

Dan, I first discovered you when I came across your rendition of Amazing Grace. All I can say is WOW!!! That is the best version I've ever heard! I'm an American & I loved the way you sang our anthem. Best of all is this video! You have an amazing voice & talent but most importantly, you are a stand-up guy. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us! 🙂

Over my 72 years I have heard many Americans do a terrible job of singing our difficult song. You did great.

Yup and I went straight to the video and you did not disappoint! Almost at 1 million subscribers and it’s a well deserved honor, thanks for sharing your gift with us ❤

This is freaking awesome lol - Dan you rock !!! Keep being true to who you are 🎉

Hi Dan I’m new to your channel. I’m a 62 year old woman that believes that what you do is no one’s business. You are a awesome singer and I hope you go far with your wonderful voice. Thank you!

This is 3 years old, but what a time to find you! A voice of gold and an unbeatable attitude! I salute you!

I’m a proud Aussie and I love the American “star spangled banner” , I particularly loved your cover. Best I’ve heard in a long time. Hey, how about a metal version of “waltzing Matilda “? 😂

Good for you Dan ! ❤😂

WTG, you gain more and more of my respect everyday!!!

I just found you today. My first video was your Amazing Grace cover. I don't normally listen to metal but have come to appreciate what amazing vocals you have to have to sing that genre. When I saw this apology the beginning, I thought noooo don't apologize and of course you stood your ground. Much respect and am in the USA.

Thank you for that awesome apology! The one finger salute. LOVE IT!

I attended Christmas Eve service one year with my daughter whom has autism. We sang Silent Night together, us holding our candles, her face beaming with joy brighter than the candlelight! Sometimes she'd be in perfect tune, sometimes not, but people closest to us gave her unkind looks. She probably didn't understand but God did. Own who you are!!! We love your beautiful voice Dan, thank you for the much needed mssg

OMG!! Can’t stop 😂!! DAN ! You are a patriot to ALL patriots !! Love it.. one finger says it all.

Thank you Mr. Vasc. My entire family served this great nation. My brother was a decorated Viet Nam vet (Distinguished Flying Cross and 12 Air Medals). "If you don't stand up, you don't stand a chance."

❤ I am so proud of you

Good for you brother. No Wimps!

And this is one of the MANY reasons I love this guy!! Oh my Gosh. You SLAYED this!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL person you are Dan. You said what many of us want to say. You can't offend anyone because those "wimps" are jealous and with jealousy comes hatred. I don't care whose national anthem you sing JUST KEEP ON SIGNING DAN. Love you, love your voice and love the truthful honest person you are. You are phenomenal ❤️ ✨️ ♥️

Dude I was feeling bad about you apologizing!! I was getting so pissed off until the FINGER 😂😂😂😂you sang that song awesome!! Thank you !!!

Subscribed so you can hit that one million mark. Love your "apology", and totally agree with you. Old USAF vet here with no problem with your anthem version. Gods know you couldn't have possibly done anything as bad as Rosanne Barr did, you are far too good of a singer. Plus, you didn't play at an official event, so you're good. Keep on with what you're doing!

Much love from an American who loves your voice and style and appreciates the love you have for your fans from all over 🖤

Don’t ever apologize a true American will love your music and your Star-Spangled Banner song. You are fantastic I just love you I just started listening to you last night by chance and I have listen to most of your songs on here already and I keep listening to amazing grace because in my mind, no one has ever sung it as awesome as you do. 💜💜💜💜💜🍀✝️💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you, Dan, we love you and your work. I was so disappointed when you started apologising and then happy when you changed. Bless you.

The captivating smile at the end crowns everything.

Thank you Dan! You truly are a man of honor! I like your sense of humor, also, and pray for your further success!

Forget those idiots! Thanks for your strengt and for your beautiful voice!! God bless the USA!
