Ram Jam - Black Betty

[redwashre]

Pat Travers? This is a song Leadbelly made. famous but even he didnt write it. Ironhead got it somewhere from someone who probably got it somewhere else. Talking almost a century ago.Spiderbait does it pretty cool.They sure as hell didnt write it though.

[XGCScrappy]

[qualcom01]

This is a jam.

[flesh86]

The song is a blues song written by Leadbelly, who first performed it while in prison for murder.

[quigon157isdforcefan]

which guitar hero is this?

[Mussepigenxd]

What guitar hero is this??

[banjohappy]

ramjam, the original and still the best rendition

[M33tb4ll]

@banjohappy ramjam didn't write this song...

[Alfalfamal3]

Who did? lol

[M33tb4ll]

don't know, but originally it's a blues song and the first recording of this song is done in 1933 performed by iron head (James Baker) ram jam was the first one to cover it into a rock song

[JulianAhlers]

But the version of Ram Jam is way better, and its how everybody know this song

[Jaybles2100]

@Alfalfamal3 [Qoute: Wikipedia] "Black Betty" is a 20th century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. The list tracks singers back to 1933.

But Ram Jam has been stated to be the first to really remake into the song we know today.

[EternalTroy]

@Alfalfamal3 they didn't really (;

[csnoob02]

@Alfalfamal3 spiderbait did their version is older but ram jam covered it and they did a good job on the cover dont u think?

[Alfalfamal3]

@csnoob02 I hate Spiderbait's version, and I'm pretty sure ram jam's version is older by about 30 years or so.

[csnoob02]

@Alfalfamal3 every person has its own taste :) and ur right ram jam's is older my bad

[ProBasketball19]

@csnoob02 idiot

[csnoob02]

@ProBasketball19 troll lmao

[Thesamjam5]

@csnoob02 yea it is and midnight toker is a good song to

[movieman138]

@M33tb4ll yes they did you jackass

[Jakeocide]

@M33tb4ll they def. did write it....it was just influenced by a very old song that didn't have these lyrics

[sonicadx]

@M33tb4ll ram jam did a version of it

[emzo3000]

LAZORZ R CHARG3D

[HHUTMetallica]

funny game but real guitar is better;)

[Fergusforslipknot]

lol to me this would be a hell of alot easier on a real guitar and alot harder on guitar hero

[18JungleBunny]

also..that was awsome!

[18JungleBunny]

Lmao ..I love how people who play guitar for real come on all thses videos to preach about how inferior a human being you are if you play GH and look down upon people who play it ..its actually laughable!! get a fuckin' grip its a game...

[Obsidian212]

it is laughable... especially when they have the "hability" to play real guitar , but lack the "hability" to spell.

[believer06]

Well, Ive been playing guitar since 1979, played many gigs in front of many people, gave lessons for about 2 decades and i can say I think this game was an excellent idea. It introduces fantastic music kids are deprived of now-a-days.

[AlegouveiaII]

they're so good on GH, i want to see this hability on RL....REAL LIFE...asshole! there ain't no hability in playin GH...but it's a fuckin' nice game

[ACEBAKER911]

Eat a Raw Vegan Diet, that will make playing the guitar alot easier

sounds weird i know,  but it works, try it

[AlegouveiaII]

i don't need it! i'm lready a lord of rock, but i don't have divulgation......yet

[ACEBAKER911]

well then eat a raw vegan diet for your Health !

[AlegouveiaII]

don't eat fancy food...i don't trust on these "natural" food with soil and etc...and their taste are horrible

[ACEBAKER911]

check out the great vids by

LIFE REGENERATOR

he is changing all that

[TheDudeOfTheDead]

I found that knowing how to play the guitar helped me play the game better, although the reverse isn't quite as true.

[SteveShivik]

I play real guitar and I have a hell of a time playing this game. It is so different. For those who get what I'm about to say I have trouble remembering that adding vibrato to a plastic guitar DOES NOT WORK! Oops onb my part. Stupid me :)

[TheEpm1]

one thing i hate is peaples saying "dont play guitar learn to play a real guita" wtf? what u gonna tell some one whos good at halo or call of duty? "hey bitch go get on a space ship and kill aliens" ? wtf stop hating

[SpartanSapper26]

ummm.. how bout join up?

"Sappers Lead the Way"

[showergel2]

"I can play this on guitar but could never play it on GH" God, me too  after i saw this video, my eyes got out of my head

[HauntedJunkyard]

which gh is this might find it 4 ps2 put it in ps3

[plangentmusic]

I can play this on guitar but could never play it on GH. I'm not sure what that means, but it's telling nonetheless.

[WhisperOfSmoke]

Interesting people that learn guitar before ever having played this game find the game very difficult to play, because you learn to play in a way totally different from the way this game's game play is done! At least that's what like EVERYONE says! So yeah!

[Lance9009]

GH and guitar are alot different.

[Kirbsterkun]

I feel sorry for you. You must've been aching after this song....

[declanspark98]

guitar hero II wicked

guitar hero III ledgendary

guitar hero areosmith extrodianary

guitar hero matallica fucking horrible

if thats true copy and paste

[theshleckman4390]

how is guitar hero metallica horrible?

[declanspark98]

getting ramajam in ma system man yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its just not my kinda thing heavy metal naaaaaaaaaaaa

metalica one guitar hero 3 is easy on expert i like dat but not the whole like game itself lmao

[dannyboy785]

so you're saying GH metallica is easy? Wow, you're one stupid dumb ass

[declanspark98]

just what is your problem guitar hero matallica is fuckibg easy i can do through the fire anbd flames expert but hey i guess your right its hard eginner but ive been to pro gamer championships anbd yes have fun lmao

[dannyboy785]

lmao are you really a GH elitist? I mean, someone can be cocky for being able to play realm guitar like a master. But saying that you play at championships says absolutely nothing about how cool or tough or talented you are. lmao I love the ttfaf reference.

[Alfalfamal3]

Jesus...

[forsaken305]

woops, my bad

[dannyboy785]

haha its ok.when i first read the comment I was like o_O

[forsaken305]

i don't understand how he can say it was easy, and how hes a pro if he doesn't even have any guitar hero vids up :|

[dannyboy785]

are you a motherfucking retard??? aerosmith is extraordinary but metallica is horrible?? You're smoking some serious crack

[declanspark98]

getting ramajam in ma system man yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[forsaken305]

aerosmith was stupid as hell.

it shouldn't have ever been made.

and guitar hero metallica wasn't easy. only some of the songs were.

you can't tell me fight fire with fire, jump in the fire, dyers eve, all nightmare long, kill em all, and bascially every song lower on the chart was easy.

[forsaken305]

and until you have videos of you playing either guitar hero or real guitar, don't say shit about it being easy

[kaibawiz]

This song is old but still good.

[Dhanhael]

ya man this song is oolldd

[Cookiemonster31469]

its actually a song by this old blues man named leadbelly

[alishanmao]

Is it allowed to use this song Ram Jam Black better in our videos? sure youtube will not say it's copyright infringement?

[Rawfelwaffle]

hard to say; guitar hero had rights to it, and he recorded guitar hero, whos to say he downloaded the song and played it over?

[foshizzlemynizzle666]

[pudops]

[CodeGeassFan85]

[GuitarComet]

A Real Nowhere Man, Eh?

Well, at least you know where you're going.

[Alfalfamal3]

I'm somewhere. Where people have fun, and don't enjoy people who suck and spam on their videos. Please don't write anything if you don't have something to say that anybody wants to hear.

[Alfalfamal3]

AND also you must be really fucking stupid if you think I want to have a future playing video games. Stop being such a bitch and go play you're guitar

[GuitarComet]

So...if you can do this Wii thing, you think you've accomplished something?

Take it from a REAL guitar player, save your money...buy a REAL guitar! This isn't gonna get you anywhere.

[Alfalfamal3]

I don't plan on going anywhere. I'm having fun, bitch!

[CodeGeassFan85]

so you can play REAL guitar you think you've accopmlished something?

if you really want to get anywhere then take it from someone has a decent chance for success stop buying anything leisurely(REAL guitars too), save your money, learn how to program and repair computers or some other similar desirble skill... start a company and if you play it right you can be making millions a year within a few years

or you could just become comfortable with yourself and do what you enjoy like Alfalfamal3

[danlimbo]

gh is like 100$...thats a huge investment huh?

[allymisser]

[yousupawipped]
