[slippies636]

fuck the devil! he/she/it is within and without all of us. All i know is Robert Johnson is the fuckin man!

[Jigov]

you retards, devil doesnt exist, neither your favourite god. only primitive people need gods, others are actually changing the history.

there cud actually be some truth to the whole devil my if u look at 2 second mark the face tha is on the material pined up behind him

[aggressivexify]

I didn't care for jazz that much until I heard this song. Simple, sweet, good feel to it.

[DragonWarriorAddict]

@aggressivexify Jazz...?

[bolder2009]

@aggressivexify This ain't Jazz.

[AysoPVP]

I'm a Hip-Hop fan, a huge one. A metal fan. A death metal fan. And this still...still just captures every part of my soul and heart. This music is amazing.

[QMPhilosophe]

Now, now...

[metaljay18]

fuck justin bieber let's talk about robert johnson instead i mean this is better and good shit anyway

[alfemirmetalcrown]

como pueden poner no me gusta la musica de roberth johson son igorantes o los tiraron de la cama

[Birdman6569]

This guy is as good as it gets....WOW. We are talking Chuck Berry... Charlie Patton...Jimi Hendrix...Keith Richards.. basically every blues musician that followed him. Ask anyone.

[Graysonswaim]

The comments below astound me about how ignorant people can be. Read up on a bit of history since youtube doesn't have all the answers ;)

[gredia]

So much emotion, so much soul

[liammateer]

the blues brothers has

2,784,843 hits double this guy wo probably got most of his from the blues brothers utube they clicked on this one by mistake lol

[MonsieurMoo8]

@liammateer You haven't got a clue, pal. I suggest you learn a bit more about blues before you even think about commenting again. Robert Johnson is probably the greatest blues player to have ever lived whilst the Blues Brothers is a film you ignorant person.

[liammateer]

amazing i say he sold his soul and was wicked yet people are offended more by me saying i liked the blues brothers version lol hillarious.

Mr Johnson went to hell when he died.

[liammateer]

go and watch the video about him selling his soul its really good if you are a fan. he was a laughingstock came back a few months later and people were amazed(although it sounds like shit music to me).just my personal opinion(the fans like him good for you).HE SANG SONGS ABOUT BEATING HIS WOMAN WAS AN ALCHO AND DEGENERATE. no wonder the music was really bad.

[sargetizz]

@liammateer I dont like you.

[thenenini]

who could dislike this?

[MrLookkill]

@thenenini MOI !!!

On voit ça en musique cette année, programme de ème : C'est nul...

Enfin, c'est mon avis... Ça se discute : )

[2ndCrysis]

Thumbs up if sweet home alabama can go screw itself !!!

[ryanprodigystone]

the blues are so good. i love the sould you feel in it its like you can feel what they were feeling when they wrote it

[OttoLund]

Thanks

[mauroCRVG]

thats the sotries... wheen u get 27 the devil comes to get what he owns

[DejaroW82]

@mauroCRVG Robert Johnson was 24

[shredmaster100]

hes one evil looking man dont look into his eyes or he will eat your soul and also that picture with him with the harmonica is not him it was proven not to be him

[sebz661]

It's so crazy how he became famous decades later xD

[bevil4aday]

I know the myth is that Robert died from poisoned booze served to him at a juke because of a woman. However poison would have killed Robert within hours to one day after ingesting. Robert lived for 3 days before succumbing to whatever took him. It is a widely believed that he died of Syphilis, a common killer in the pre-WWII days, before penicillin.

[CalebePriester]

I am learning this in my guitar, so funny to play

[rezboy74]

lotta fucker pretending to be 13 , 12 yrs old fuck off who cares how old you are just like the music, but anyways all his songs is just him and a guitar but it sounds like two guitars its a demon come up from hell to help him, then take him to sweet home hell

[cumminsfan96]

im 15 and im truely sorry what my generation has done to music

[LimonStreet]

@cumminsfan96 I'm 15 too and my generation can gtfo, it's my music, no their music, if i like this i don't need to put on every fucking video of blues/rock/metal music "OOH I'M 4 YEARS AND I LIKE THIS MY GENERATION SUCKS", stfu and listen the music. (sorry for my bad english).

[cormacf1]

@cumminsfan96

dont be an idiot

[DannyMullenBjj]

@cumminsfan96 Not your generations fault. Those in charge of record companies and other media outlets are the ones to blame for forcing kids your age to drown in a sea of sonic garbage. Stay strong.

[Darkwood5555]

Daaayum. . .

[TheSyrupMan]

Californuuu...

[rock4evr24]

People say rock and metal started when he sold his soul, because so many of those musicians were inspired by him. I agree :)

[liammateer]

blues brothers version was beter

[gofoveg]

@liammateer O like the blues brothers, but, don't say this, please

[gofoveg]

@liammateer This is one of the best songs ever

[Weraisethenerdyflag]

@liammateer

_[]_ <<< Middle finger.

[bluesatsunset]

@liammateer

I'm at a complete loss for words after reading that. You utter, utter dickhead.

[MrLarry0478]

@bluesatsunset ohh man, he could be wrong, but let the man have an opinion. I disagree with him as well. but not EVERYONE needs to like the one version.

[liammateer]

@bluesatsunset thanks for that comment am sure you are a lovely person

[bluesatsunset]

@liammateer

Do everyone a favour & fuck off to a Justin Bieber forum, you attention seeking little prick.

[williemolenaar]

@bluesatsunset why does everyone always have to bring Justin Bieber into everything?? I love this music and respect this guy so much, but that doesn't mean everyone necessarily has to hate Justin Bieber jeez..

[bluesatsunset]

@williemolenaar

I suggest you read the comments from the douch I was replying to, then read my post again. No need for apology.

[williemolenaar]

@bluesatsunset yeah i know, he's a prick and should learn to watch his stupid mouth, so i think you were right to put him in place But thats not what i was talking about, what i mean is: why is it always that if people don't like rock, they must like JB, and the other way around aswell You could have said he should have gone to any stupid popmusic place, but you choose Bieber. Why is it always him?? its just so annoying Everyone brings him into everyting, that doesnt have to do anything with him

[bluesatsunset]

@williemolenaar

Point taken friend.

[williemolenaar]

@bluesatsunset :) thanks man

[MonsieurMoo8]

@bluesatsunset I've just seen it and have to agree. Not a clue!

[warnertube]

@bluesatsunset But, unfortunately, not comnpletely

[lozuk2111]

@liammateer Troll is trolling??

[danlvaf183]

@liammateer suck my beautiful dick

[TheDutchGame]

@liammateer Fuck man, do you even have a soul?

[liammateer]

he is awful makes me feel sick, awaful awful awful music.

[Alu142]

@liammateer please, die

[545t3t4t5]

@liammateer well, looking at ur channel, you like a pet shop boys video. if you can't appreciate the roots and influences that basically all of pop music grew out and changed from, then go eat your own crap. pet shop boys were influenced by 60s pop, 60s pop was influenced by elvis, elvis was influenced by robert johnson and delta blues. noone should like pet shop boys anyway.

[liammateer]

@545t3t4t5

am sorry but the guys music is not good. lets just say i operate on a different wavelength. but really as i thought his music has a very very big spiritual content why else would these people be so passionate about it. for me its whinney for them its godly music . I DONT GET HIS MUSIC SO WHAT. everyone has their own tastes. big deal.its only a guy playing a guitar who can nearly sing.

[BeeFittyTwooz]

@liammateer I will bitch slap you silly. 2 slaps in one!

Preaching fire and brimstone to

the lonesome soul sitting alone.

Stand and rise son believe in God.

[eddie123212]

Mr. Johnson smiled and said,” Dear lord I do ask thee for forgiveness”

But this is how I will look in my coffin

when down by the highway side.

My eyes covered to keep out the sun.

Because I want you to bury me on top of the ground.

Perch me against the old pecan tree.

Same place I came for the black man

to tune my guitar down low to the devils note.

In the smoky midnight moon you`ll see me there.

[eddie123212]

I`m in the graveyard of the Delta Kings.

Mississippi here I am, I have rested my head.

Here i`ll sing along Money Road.

nononononono! sweet home ALABAMA xD

[243mateoandres]

Some people say the Devil sold his soul to Robert Johnson because he wanted to play the guitar like him.

[WatchVenusSpa]

@243mateoandres The Devil still got beat in a guitar contest by Ralph Macchio...

[MrRobinPresley]

@243mateoandres No, you're wrong, Robert sold his soul to the devil and he gave him this abilities.

[OfficialTirade]

@MrRobinPresley There's always some retard that doesnt get the joke, you sir, are that retard.

[MrRobinPresley]

@OfficialTirade i hate being the retard that doesn't get the joke, but, I still don't get it.

[OfficialTirade]

@MrRobinPresley It's just implying that Robin johnson is better than the devil at guitar, so much better that the devil was willing to sell his soul to robin johnson. Its just the normal cleverly reversed.

Dunno if i can spell it out for you much more than that dude

[MrRobinPresley]

@OfficialTirade Thank you, but Robin is me, the man who was offered the devil's soul is called Robert Johnson.

[VadiaRotor]

the best and the visionary blues man,this song like jhon still live and sing best every day,rip jhon

[CecilRhodesIlluminat]

Remember, this is one acoustic guitar playing, not a lead and rhythm guitar....

Hendrix could do this very well, play both parts on one guitar, rhythm and lead on

one guitar.....He was that good....

[CantonezSpere]

@CecilRhodesIlluminat it's not that hard...

[GADawg0422]

28 dislikes? that's awesome. that means that there's at least 28 people out there who love RJ as much as me? cuz i'm gonna assume that the ones who disliked it were being smartasses so i will dislike it too just because i like it so much i'm gonna be a rebel. ha

[SRP4U]

Robert Johnson should be 100 years now. That would be nice :)

[NoTimeToCry66]

@Typicus doenst change the arrogant opinions of faggots like you.

[Typicus]

@NoTimeToCry66 I never stated an opinion. Nice try, though.

[ElSaucy1]

If only if only he would've picked up an eletric guitar just once. just once.

[hoovboy14]

@ElSaucy1 they hadn't been invented yet.

[ElSaucy1]

@hoovboy14 thats what i meant.

[BepBakhuys]

@ElSaucy1 Haha, that would be a paradox. He died before electric guitars existed.

[ElSaucy1]

@BepBakhuys i know. i meant if he could pick up an eletric what he couldve created is beyond what i can think

[HoleHeadedLiar]

@BepBakhuys No, he didn't.

The company Ro-Pat-In, in 1932, had been making electric guitars for about a year when they became Rickenbacker.

So, he'd died about six years after electric guitars were invented.

[NoTimeToCry66]

People like @phxsns are completely retarded

They dont understand that this type of music i VERY GOOD, not disputing that but that generations of music all have various influential people, how the f**k do you know that new generations of music wont live on just because your a stubern douche dont mean your right you have one taste in music, and your going on about this guy will live on...

for you he will i bet you most 13 yr olds don't know who he is, so how will he live on after this generation?

[Typicus]

@NoTimeToCry66 He was stating his opinion. He never claimed to be correct. Shut the fuck up.

[phxsns1]

@NoTimeToCry66 Very rarely does pop music live on after it falls off the Billboard Top 100.

Truly great music will ALWAYS be listened to.

[phxsns1]

@NoTimeToCry66 Also, musicians constantly influence other musicians. The roots of most groups today can probably be traced back to guys like Robert Johnson, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and even girl groups like The Ronettes. My hope is that kids will be curious enough to realize this and research these musicians for themselves. If not, then we'll just have to shove it down their throats. But don't worry. It's good for them.

[keithdra]

wonderful nuff said.

The best blues player in the history of music.

[quentin361]

I was born in the wrong time

[guitarslinger48]

Almost ALL the so-called guitar gods list Robert Johnson as an influence. What does that say about him...

[michellebaby1000]

great

[tipperarytrad]

Ive made my way back from Rory Gallagher to Muddy Waters to this brilliant man

[Gonzalotrece]

nice nice nice! :-)

[MexicanChamp1000]

REAL MUSIC IS FROM THE 90'S BACK!!

[Nevermindit132]

@MexicanChamp1000 I say 95 and back, everything after that just went to shit.

[socratesthecabdriver]

cross roads my s........

[MrTamimisa]

By the way, one of the photos in this montage is NOT Johnson. Its from the alleged film of Johnson, but examinatio show a movie postr behind him that came out in 1942. Johnson died in 1938. Aint him.

[julien156]

Long Live Chicago.

[blackplaque617]

I fuck with all genres of music mostly hiphop, R&B, Blues, Jazz and old fasion rock-roll. Nothing better than good black music. But why in the hell are you assholes comparing Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Lady Gage to a legendary blue's singer???

[ferminsy]

Magical

[Toshi66666]

Devil gets his soul, but he gave us this *__*

[MyRubb]

Calling them idiots is a strong assumption, hating your generations music is not at all an idiotic statement. I'm not making any assumptions but I grew up through the nineties, and believe me its not going to pass as long as people are feeding Itunes, Big CD distributors (in turn major labels), this wont pass. To even think its going to pass is silly, it will worsen and worsen. BUT! I do agree that men like Jonson will NEVER die. Even living in the depression would be fine, you got by or didn't.

[phxsns1]

@MyRubb Yeah, yeah, I understand big business and corporations will always be around, and of course pop music will always be around. But only the truly special artists will survive and be remembered. When I said that it will all pass, I meant people like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

[phxsns1]

No, you little idiots. You weren't born in the wrong generation. Nobody wishes that the could have grown up during the Depression just because that's when Robert Johnson was making music.

All you 13 year-olds who are tired of today's crappy music, just be patient. It'll all pass. Guys like Johnson will live on.

[Weraisethenerdyflag]

@phxsns1 Maybe they want to sit in the dark wishing for a way to listen to the blues, and maybe they want to eat saw-dust and talk about how good Robert Johnson is.

[xXmcgoatsXx]

@phxsns1 i never said i wanted to be born in this era, this music just addicts me not that stupid lil wayne crap that not even music. this is real music. i never like any music any one in my school listens too.

[KhalidMuhijadeen]

@xXmcgoatsXx u r a faget no 1 cares ur probley the weirdo kid who no 1 talks to ur not spceial ur just a loser lookin for atennttion couse u get non

[Landerovitch2]

@KhalidMuhijadeen you probably picked the wrong website, my dear degenerate. I think you wanted to visit redtube today instead.

[fakeis751]

@phxsns1 Or instead of just waiting, they could start doing something themselves.

[SchneeBV]

@phxsns1 you're right man, but we have to make music not press a button for sound

[fivethumbsfrank]

@phxsns1 Excellent comment, I sometimes play a couple RJ song on guitar to young people, they never heard it before but they ALWAYS smile when they hear the guitar start up, it's infectious deep blues will live forever.

[JacX1]

@phxsns1 amen brother. True, music like this not so often. But every generation, creates at least 1 gem. Sorry to say... beiber ain't it. But it will come. Nobody would ever have loved to live through what most of these brilliant musicians went through. But most of this music is so powerful and memorable because people like this went through so much hardship and necessity... blues basically. Not everything is blues, but a drive to vent, and speak out is responsible for most music today.

[Fostermedeiros]

@phxsns1 thats hilarious, the odds of you even coming into contact with one of these artists if you lived in the depression would be retarded... lol ppl are dumb

[RedWolf3487]

@phxsns1 Music is what you make it. If the 13 year olds want good music, they should make it. Not whine and complain on the internet.

[zoni36]

@phxsns1 ..why are judging people for expressing their joy in listening to talent? Just be patient, your need to set the world right will pass.

[DarkSlashITA]

how can people dislike this???

[Juustokauppias]

Sold his soul for these talents? I'd say it was a damn good deal.

[IpCrackle]

@Juustokauppias pun intended? ;)

[lookatyourself99]

@Juustokauppias good in the fact we got this MUSIC but bad as he is in eternal damnation giving his side of the deal

[phxsns1]

@lookatyourself99 Yeah, plus he only lived to be 27. It would have been a better deal if he lived a full life and was able to make more incredible music. Then again, maybe the fact that there is so little Robert Johnson music makes it that much more valuable.

[jazzalex22]

Robert Johnson was amazing and so good. Too bad he was gone too soon. He recorded the original versions of Crossroads, Cold Turkey, That's All Right Mama, ans She's a Woman. So great he was. Don't compare Lady Gaga or Katy Perry to him Robert beats them all day.

[sammybob100]

Like this. :)

[Fucenpy]

What the !@#$ are you %^&*@#$ babbling about? Things happened b4 Johnson & things happened after him. Rereleasing his music in the 60's may have had an influence on some people but, he's just another guy who could get down. Without him, the musical revolution would have went on just the same. He was part of a style (his recordings are from the late 1920's, i believe) that's been done for some time.

[AntifaStef]

@Fucenpy man you know shit about music....I fell pitty on you....

[Fucenpy]

@AntifaStef u guys still don't get it

[marcinstanczyk1984]

@Fucenpy ... The Fuck ?! imagine blues without him and people like Robert Lockwood Jr...

[MetalAndRockGuru]

@Fucenpy Eric Clapton would've been immensley different. As would've the Rolling Stones. I would say Clapton and the stones' work was pretty damn important you "dickface cockmaster".

[xXmcgoatsXx]

i was born in the wrong generation. im 13 and i CANNOT stand the nursery rhyme crap my generation listens to. my daddy raised me right.

[PRIMDAY]

@xXmcgoatsXx damn right he did

[KillerPyjamasHat]

@xXmcgoatsXx STFU .

[jezzejam]

@xXmcgoatsXx O.o your situation is exactly like mine!

The only Band I am proud of in my Generation is The Black Keys, that is the best blues band I have ever heard excluding Junior Kimbrough.(I am 13 also)

[YOUPUBEISGAY]

@xXmcgoatsXx shut up lol

[WarrenNorman]

@xXmcgoatsXx Buy yourself a guitar and change things, listen to history or make it

[jimboooong]

great artist....without him + other music wouldnt be as we know it today...although i reckon Mr johnson would turn in his grave if he heard the shit they play today....

[TheLiban1]

Poraziło mnie brakiem brzmienia Zajebiste

[iNarcissic]

Without him, Pop, Rock, R&B etc... not exists..

[bkeay100]

This Guy is sooooo Good !!!!

[donaldfuckingd]

@weinerdvm he was educated. everyone seen california as a metaphor for opportunity and just compared it to chicago

[weinerdvm]

Why does he sing, back to the land of California to my swheet home Chicago......is it because he was undeducated?

[qqvids]

people just love this song in my country

[metalstormimpaler]

Long live the king of blues. Master of the guitar.

[aspenrebel]

I think his Energizer Bunny Battery ran down.

[EastCoaster97]

Damn, I love this music so much. Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, BB King, Muddy Waters, and Louis Jordan are all I need.

[TownPiligan14]

Anyone else think that looks like a disfigured (perhaps devilish) face in the background?

[rolandogoncalves]

The real true master of the delta blues

[TroijanSkinhead]

i want to sell my soul just to meet Mr. Robert Johnson

[mrcoolhands1]

how could you dislike this

[captian1981]

@iiTricKie nothing wrong with wayne, gaga, or johnson asshat

[Agnostyx13]

Chicago , promised land of the blues for a little french frog like me who like blues for so long ... i hope one day i will be in Chicago ... sweet home Chicagoooooo !

[IntoTheLungsOfHell94]

@Agnostyx13 i live like a hour away from chicago :P lol never give up and you will be in chicago before you know it man.

[ratstompmusic]

this is the best music there is! if you love raw blues you might like Rat Stomp :)

youtube.com/user/ratstompmusic

Our song Reckless Woman and Searching the Forest have a Delta blues style with slide guitar and fingerpicking

[facilemently]

THANKS for uploading this! This is something that humanity can't loose!!!

[MrStoney2011]

its amazing this man did some great music and died at 27 / i checked wikipedia and its amazing how Eric Clapton has called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." now how can you argue with GOD?

[Op7mw45]

he was the first everyone copied dipshits. god 1939 .

[artfuldodder]

@Randazzo118 Thats a bit of sweeping statement im not sure The Beatles were all that influenced by country and western or the rolling stones. Country and western is actually very niche outside of america most people think it sucks balls.

[Juniorhooker]

Hey everybody ive been playing blues for thirty six years go to junior hooker they wont let my video stay up on the video response list enjoy and keep digging them blues fuck the oppresors of this music

[Juniorhooker]

THANKS FOR THE VID MAN LOVE IT

[Overkill4781]

Robert Johnson it's the legend of blues ...

[hernandeza30]

@Overkill4781 no no Robert Johnson IS THE KING OF BLUES

[l2string]

The pic of the guy with the hat and harmonica IS NOT Robert Johnson. There are only 2 known pic's of Johnson. You can probably pick them out yourself. I'll give you a hint look for the 7" finger's

[SHADOWMAN296]

idiots all american cultural and country blues bluegrass,country and western delta blues, pop and many more are an exstension of turn of the century RAGTIME MUSIC. It is the foundation of it all!!!! even chet atkins carried on ROBERT JOHN'S STYLE OF THUMB PICK AND TWO FINGER PICKING FOR COUNTRY BLUES PICKING. Ragtime is where it all started.

[hyuhyuuyh]

@USgovernmentLies pop was influenced by jazz,and jazz by blues;music is all about influences and slow evolution;if for example mozart hadnt existed believe me that music would be very different nowadays;its like if you said that theres no connection between lenins and maos political ideology because one is russian and the other chinese

[LadyofWar1980]

If he sold his soul to the devil does that mean he's one of the first to join the Illuminati? LOL....jk folks!

[robsargent4]

@LadyofWar1980 he became a poltician/banker/lawyer/journa­list more like. na, just jokin as well

[Darthvadeeerr]
