[darkwiz58]

This made the Chili Cook Off go wild today! Such a good day!

[ZapDuff]

They played this in Tampa last night... was even better than this vid from CMA! AWESOME!!

[bluegrassreb1]

had to fav this! nice to see a Country band again. i miss the 80's and 90's when there were some great bands. Alabama, Diamond reo, Sawyer Brown, little texas, and so many others,.

[AWSM98]

Hey fuck you NIGGER you piece of shit, why dont you go plow some cotton you ol slave owner dick suckin tree ornament!

[JayTheRamblinMan]

@AWSM98 Lol calm yourself hillbilly troll

[RenegadeNXW]

Nice

[md31551]

39 people lost their soul to the devil

[thedarkskull0]

This is the best song I ever heard

[racheesedorothy10]

anyone else notice Keith Urban at 2:32? he's enjoying the show or he needs to use the restroom...

[johnnykool]

Utterly amazing. These guys are damn good.

[SanguineBullet667]

I really ... really don't care for country, but this is probably one of my only favorite country songs.

[SamuraiMitsukai]

You know your a f@#$in' bad ass when...

[TheFletch827]

Wowzers!!!!!!

[JessDLove22]

wow, just wow

[coolmaster97]

I BET THE DEVIL ON GUITAR HERO IS THINKING THANK GOD I DIDNT MESS WITH ZAC

[greasy87]

That was fucking amazing!!!!!!!

[heidicda]

Holy Sh** Zac. You rocked it!!!

[ArrowSmith95]

i feel sorry for the person who had to play after him ...... i mean really you CAN'T beat that ......

[annadbdocs]

I love that these guys are who they are and they haven't changed for the "stardom" crap after getting big. They are still real and making real music. Love you ZBB! Ya'll rock!

[SwedishSeraphim]

Best fiddler I've seen since Mairead Nesbitt.

[Brock505050]

@museken , I hope your kidding with that. If not, your proving your a jackass

[museken]

What the hell ever happened to Old country. Yeah another cover band. Lets see them play Seminole Wind By Jon Anderson, Small town Saturday Night , Hal Ketchum,, Out of The Western Town of El Paso, Smokey The Wings Of A Dove. . Where are the Cowboys at. You have a queer making a remake of an Artist who's age is better than there playing ... Daniels rules.. yeah I posted before. It served its purpose. Drop the rock and roll and come back country.It's your home.

[KMBroom7522]

@museken You've lost you're goddamn mind son. You've apparently never actually listened to Zac Brown Band before...

[Jaloppy23]

unless im crazy



[Jaloppy23]

deff see sparks fly when Zacs strumming at 3:31

[amanda6ist]

definatley a standing ovation. I saw them in concert and they played that bad ass live is all i got to say

[rudisill09]

This is even more epic live....Jimmy De can rock it

[GingerBookNinja]

Best. Cover. Ever.

[abby4696]

they took a classic and made it there own. i love the way how they did that.

[svedbro]

Zac are going carzy on his guitarr to! F-ckin Great!

[dabadanman]

Looks like the devil would have also lost a golden guitar to Zac!

[972animan]

@dabadanman and a golden drum set

[waitin4winter]

love this

[HaleyMcLean95]

holy shit. this is awesome!

[kzedwards]

basically these guys killed this song, buried it, changed their minds, brought it back from the bowels of Hell to cremate it for good measure, and then gave it back to Charlie Daniels with a thank you note from Chuck Norris. I don't know if that made any sense, but I just know that these guys are the ones responsible for blowing my mind right now when I wrote this comment out, and all I can say is "thank you."

[amyhyde13]

I just watch this over and over and over..

[Postmanjsj]

Totally awsome!!!!!

[CN3011]

Zac Brown Band should win more awards. Here is the proof! They are awesome!

[Katmantaylor]

i've heard the CHarlie Daniels version, Zac Brown's way too fast for the beat!!!

[ATomb212]

This is why Country music is awesome. You will never see a well rounded performance like this at the VMAs or the MTV awards. This is people playing instruments and singing great lyrics... It's what we used to starve for as Americans. Now we crave a manufactured, computerized product that is not indicative of a progressively evolving music industry (what it should be).. Its just gone straight down hill and its sad.. Similarly to many other things in this country.

[gdubbyah215]

I have never listened to any other music other than hip-hop,rap or rnb....stumbled across this vid and honestly say this one of the best thing i ever heard and seen.

[TheFletch827]

@gdubbyah215 Awesome. Glad you found it! These guys are really talented.

[theace9000]

Dislikers apparently did not vote for Zac Brown Band and felt bad when they saw this.

[veggyalpha2]

36 people must have not gotten that golden fiddle

[Zingo33]

I'll bet Charlie Daniels' jaws dropped when he heard the fiddle player.

[captlucky3]

this is the best performance i have ever seen at a awards show

[minovisa]

That was awesome!!! The fiddle player is king!

[gEoRgEsTrAiTjUnKiE91]

That fiddle player is amazing. I saw them do this live in Houston and it was phenomenal. They are really awesome live, if you get the chance go see them.

[liljb61]

is that Zack Galifinakis playing the tamborine?

[KatieLynnKing]

That was insane.

[todieaskings]

I think this is better than Charlie Daniels...don't kill me!

[akrackenberger]

@todieaskings Nothing can be better then Charlie Daniels. It might be as good as his, but never better.

[volunteernation16]

@akrackenberger c'mon now, this is definitely better. I know this is Charlie's song, but the ZBB fiddle player is on another level

[nevadadrummer]

wow!!!!!!!! unnnbelievable!!!!!



[5cagefighter]

haha i cannot believe there wasnt a mosh pit in there hahaha xD

[greasy87]

Dam!!! That was awesome!!!

[stella1973c]

HOLY BALLS!

[Danotown1]

This was tighter than a virgins butt cheeks

[JWD26]

@Danotown1 LMAO

[darkl0rds]

the dislike is justin bieber listeners that prefer JB.

[museken]

That's right!

[eienMMO]

Looks like a very young Charlie Daniels. :D

[bridge99eng01]

The only thing this was missing was the fireworks at the end.

[manchesteruni06]

tthey sniffed some before this performance

[mooresus]

I wonder if that fiddle player's name is Johnny??????

[444mattboy]

Is it just me or at 3:30-3:35, you can see sparks come from his guitar strings, I shit you not I can see them.

[manchesteruni06]

@444mattboy fuck yea insane!

[andyblueyezz]

@444mattboy it the lighting haha i thought that at first too

[Jamiebaker15]

@444mattboy Dude! I can see them too! 

[Salliee3]

@444mattboy its the lights reflecting off the guitars shine hahaha wish it was sparks(:

[444mattboy]

@Salliee3 Me too, just wanted to believe they were sparks, b/c it fits nicely since they rule.

[jbecher8]

@444mattboy matt thats sweet you saw that im a technical production manager all it is, is a small type of lighting shooting off his guitar strings haha but thats legit you noticed its hard to make that stick during a video!

[444mattboy]

@jbecher8 Yea, I knew it were the lights when I watched it, but I wanted to believe that they were sparks lol. Plus my YT name is very deceiving, just made a quick name, first thing that came to my head.

[leperconairsoft]

@444mattboy holy crap ur right

[MegaGeNeRaLEE]

@444mattboy HOLY SHIT I SAW IT TO DAMN!!! these guys are amazing!!!!

[Shmegan2012]

[casiefer]

Wow! Amazing cover guys!! I love this song!

[jimmieleepatterson]

[egrewing74]

@jimmieleepatterson Their current song is in the top 15 and climbing. That's where.

[blondo4620]

Most awesome guitar playing EVER! Also the greatest band!

[chewbaccaisderka007]

@blondo4620...ya no doubt, definitely best country band!!!

[gaarakun67]

That's so Metal.

[kzedwards]

Just when you thought it couldn't be played any faster, it did.

Absolutely amazing and shows the level of true musical talent in this entire group.

[traxcavator50]

@kzedwards i just saw them last night and let me tell you... freaking amazing. so much respect for all of those guys. amazing musicians every single one.

[cashman322]

Keith Urban is getting owned by how fast they play haha 2:33

[grsglitching]

fiddle players equal hard core musicians

[PianoMan89]

33 people were bitten by Granny's dog

[MrSquirreljerky]

i wonder if the fiddle player is jhonny

[antsHUGEmule]

dude that fucking fiddler could jack off in seconds. if i could move my hands that fast i would get a divorce!!!!

[zachbear98765]

When I heard that they were gonna do this song, I was worried that no one could play is like Charlie.. I was wrong.. they absolutely killed this song!!!!

AMAZING!!! WOW

[clikcerticker]

also i love how they all look at each other at the end. its like "we get an award for best perfomance tonight right?" if there was one they earned it

[clikcerticker]

if at 4:20 your not standing already (in the audience i mean and if your unable to do so thats understandable) then damnit you stand the fuck up and you give The Zac Brown Band one hell of an ovation!! one hell of a performance and they deserved the huge cheers they got when it was over.

[CN3011]

3:56 epic!

[Anericanmadness]

[davisdevil45]

[blahblahstimpy]

Not a fan of country music, but this is ridiculously epic!! The fiddle player is boss.

[TheUnit270890]

Oh and the only person that disliked it was the devil, he lost another fiddle...

[TheUnit270890]

Every single note came so fast it sounded like a machine gun firing. o_o

[museken]

Its the Dragon Force of violining......IT's the Iron Maiden of country......Country went rock and roll a while back now the speed insinuates taking on metal....UP THE IRONS.......For Zac Brown...Countrys going metal..... Ronnie James Dio would be proud.....Ha..Ha.. You got to plug that violin in my friend..

[TheMaryanneMusic]

@museken That's So Funny :)

[TheStoner1969]

@museken Well said!

[THEREDFOOOORD]

@GeddoLee its coutry so its genius anway

[coldmountain007]

I have been entertained!

[PJmac325]

it sucks for who ever performed after them



[aj981981]

They were origionally going to sing "Toes," at CMA Awards, but the producers wouldn't let them cuss in that song, and the band didn't want to do the "clean" version. So they decided to sing this song instead, because they were allowed to cuss in it.

[raeandshane]

FUCKIN OFF THE HOOK!!! LOVED IT RAE RAE

[GlowingBentley]

WOW! Fukkin' WOW! What's that fiddle player? About 12? Holy shit.

That's all I gots ta say about that.

[Tochilen945]

1:50 Chuk Norris there??? HE IS EVERYWHERE!!!

[lmorri43]

I was lucky enough to be in college in Kennesaw Ga where this band was started. For months my girl friend and I would go to a whole in the wall bar on tuesday nights with about 50 people and watch these guys kick ass...It gave me chills to see thousands of people stand and applaud something I knew they would love all along.

[R3Dpill33]

@lmorri43 Are you sir by chance a hipster? Nah Im just kidding man. But really you did that? no shit? Sweet That would have been amazing!

[mamabear2774]

Holy Shit!!

[TheMegakuriboh]

fuk'n awesome!!!

[perrenoud03]

Than man can play the fiddle, but I play the acoustic guitar, and Zac Brown shows you just how good he really is starting at 3:26 thru 4:06, now that's some serious work on the acoustic!

[ttrain5450]

@perrenoud03

You are so right. I have never seen anyone kill an acoustic like Zac Brown. Dude is a phenom on that Martin.

[southernboy712]

[samalldridge]

[flatliner35]

OOOHHHHEEEEE!!!! That was a mighty fine a pickin and a singin!!!!
