CHARLIE DANIELS - DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA (live)

[dazincalculation]

Johnny won against the devil, but then foolishly went for a rematch years later and lost...due to arthritis. -daz in oz

[jman5431]

[LeperMessiah760]

I have read too many comments with people saying, "I'm a teenager and I love this old music" to count. Does it really matter how old a person is? Good music is good music. I'm 21. Who cares?

[Omegaversal]

Best Fiddle player Ever!

[gary5209]

Wo, rozan your bow more buddy, that's some mean fiddle playing but it keeps screeching! Yikes! I have heard better recordings of this song.

[wakkaboom1987]

CHARLIE DANIELS FTW

[zwatrif]

Gotta love Charlie Daniels! Very talented musician. And this song is genius!

[HTownCountryFan]

"I told you once, you son-of-a-b***, I'm the best that's ever been." - best line in the entire song. 

[nekku19]

Neck's more red than a Ferrari, but DAMN he's got something that makes me fly!

[Keo1oh1]

I was there. At this concert.  With my buddy Jack Daniels. Had a hell of a time.

[26Bevo]

[bmase2007]

67 communists have viewed this video

[TFmaster75]

[TFmaster75]

[MrVirgilcane]

ID DUNN TOLD YOU ONCE YOU SON OF A BITCH IM THE BEST THERES EVER BEEN.

[relimes]

fiddle dee dee!

[EmCourtney]

Nobody could do it better..

[Aqene1000]

One of my favorite songs for years now.

[mymsong]

Lou is pretty good he raped me on medium

[jmt1000]

@mymsong He is pretty damn good, although, I raped him on Expert!! Haha, I remember when I was on medium, when I moved up to Hard, It took at least over 40-50 tries to beat it on Hard the first time. When I beat him on Expert for the first time it took about 2-3 times after I had gotten REALLY GOOD!!! Best Guitar Hero game, Too bad Guitar Hero is lost forever!! NOOOO!!! Have a nice day!

[stevemacaque]

@jmt1000 that was primus' cover of it

[Kev95682]

That's how you do it son.

[THINKLITE]

John Hill, on behalf on GA NORML @ UGA, presents 1,024 signatures for Prop. 42 to Athens-Clarke County mayor Heidi Davison and commission at the City Hall during the monthly business meeting. December 2nd, 2008. Also, Commissioner Dodson

[CrazyKennyHaHa]

Jaeson with your help and prayer support Elijah was able to bind Satan for 1000 years on December 6th, 2009- which means the 42 months of Revelation 12 began on 6/6/6 - you won't need to worry about the real devil for 1000 years but trust me Jezebel can pack a real punch- when the devil comes out to play in 1000 years- Jesus and I got that covered and I will need you take good care of Meesh til I come back with Jesus- Jesus and the Sons of Issachar will raise all the Jews- (Gentiles?) too early

[stilrockin2010]

Let me see you northerners touch this~! This is how Southerners play .

[SundiMundi]

@stilrockin2010

Hahahahaha

[herogodman76]

Charlie daniels is like the Eddie van halen of violin/fiddle players

[OnemanNinjaclan]

can charlie daniels play a mean fiddle?

[brujero13]

No one will ever be like Charlie Daniels he is simply amazing..

[1IceBox2]

i told you once you son of a bitch im the thats ever been

[yakkominniegoofy]

I done told you once you son of a b**** I'm the best that's ever been! That was so vulgar the way Charlie Daniels said it. Country music was so good. Sadly, Country music has gone bad! It's not because of Taylor Swift, the old country stars is going away and now new ones are coming in.

[VoodooGypsy]

One of the greatest songs of all time.

[quesi979]

For everyone who has commented on this as it being bad or whatever:

Charlie Daniels is the BEST fiddler EVER! One time while playing this song, his bow literally caught fire. Someone came up and put the fire out, and he had another bow in his hand BEFORE he missed one note.

I dare you to say that's not amazing.

[Nick19997]

1. You dont see players like this anymore

2. Look at the horse hair on the bow after he finished, its all curcled back and cut.

3.This is a great song and 66 people missed the like button

4. Notice everyone cheers when he says b*****

[TheLe3thal]

66 ppl missed the like button

[androspi]

70's rock. all music !

[RatKing59]

Irony: A lot of people saying this is quality, classic Country and Bluegrass, but clearly Daniels is rapping through most of the song.

[ChaseBoone123]

is he dead?

[chrisguy1947]

this is cool..

[jdhan1]

Just Wow on the fiddle

[DamitDaisyMae]

Thats how you do it son !!!

[bobnegro1]

man, the piano player from 0.42 to 1.29 looks like billy powell , back when ronnie was around , i'v seen him look like that in concert before, i'm sure some of the old heads out there know what im talking about.

[pktnat]

This isn't really country.. it's more like bluegrass

[ChaseBoone123]

my dad knows him. My dad went on his tour

[beastguitaist]

@ChaseBoone123 i bet ur dad is really cool

[ChaseBoone123]

@beastguitaist : he has sing with him too

[luvsjobro]

I wanna learn how to play trhis on my violn

[MrCward3]

He is absolutely the best fiddler to this day, hands down.

[GodoOFthunder]

:D. I bet a fiddle of gold to get your soul just to think im better than you. Amazing

[199REEPER]

AWESOME! where did country music go? WOW! AMAZING!

[relimes]

Long Live Charlie Daniels! I remember when he gave a free concert at a local festival here in Michigan back in 2004!

[fenderstratad]

@Sk82live12 you are clearly a flaming homosexual who wants his violin bow in your asshole

[coolRocker666]

@fenderstratad you are clearly a flaming fagot who should go jump off a cliff and die

[theuntamed14]

Charlie Daniels kicks ass.. he is by far the best country music player of all time. i dont care what anyone says.. i wish music sounded like this. no. alls this new gay stuff. we need more people like him. and on top of all that hes a genius.

[Naiquster]

This kicks ass but i respect the Guitar Hero 3 version more. No offensive anyone.

[H30Studios]

If you do not like what is being played by these men in this video, please turn off your computer. Now.

CHARLIE DANIELS BAND FTW!

[kittykat0900love]

GO DANIELS idk how he got so goood lol GO CHARLIE

GO CHARLIE!!!!!!!

[rikkimaru43]

I'm pretty sure thats a violin.

[stuntrider15]

violin and fiddle are the same thing jackass.......

[vivaldigentile]

well not COMPLETELY true; fiddlers generaly use steel strings, while violinists don't. also fiddlers flatten the top of the bridge so they can make more of a racket. Otherwise you're right

[Plaguelord92]

A fiddle is a small violin

[vivaldigentile]

no fiddles and violins are the same size though there are half-size fiddles just as there are half-size violins, etc.

[Wisztrock]

Not good. If you want to hear some new Souther Rock 2010 click on Wisztrock.

[xxjessiamandaxx]

@Wisztrock

if you don't like it, leave. no one likes you either. so STFU. Charlie Daniels Band is the greatest Southern Rock band of all time (aside from maybe lynard skynard)

P.S. YOU SPELLED SOUTHERN WRONG!

[rikkimaru43]

I want his violin!

[Amelioratex]

rikkimaru43, its a fiddle...

[1251wire]

i wanna see charlie beat the shit outta ted nugent in a cage match, fuck ted.

[jonathanot]

adoro

muito foda

[JackHauss]

ICharlie Daniels is a genius, and one need only go to his website and read his soapbox articles that he`s been writing for the past 20 years. If he ever decided to run for President I would not hesitate for a second to vote for him. The guy completely bases his politics on logic which is as rare as a good song on the radio today.

[nerdflanders8710]

@JackHauss fuck off he smokes too much weed and his ideas wouldnt work in real life.

All the redneck trailer trash hillbilly inbred mother fuckers would love it .

[NightHorder]

@JackHauss

REALLY?! OMG!! XD XD XD That's awesome!

[lekkimsm2500]

@JackHauss Good song cannot compare to political views

[KeneaHerbst67]

uuhuhh i am really bored and need some action... Anyone feelin the same way

[boricubano2005]

holy fucking shit thats the guy on that commercial when he is playing in a restaurant lol i love this guy he is so cool lol

[MrEggo12]

haha right in the geico commercial

[gibsondude07]

hahaha! That commercial came on while I was watching this, ironic lol

[matmannn0]

i have ben hering this song for 15 years

[TheTrueLichKingUS]

Country is all about having a great time singing or playing the song. I was just saying that there has been more disappointing music in modern country songs because of the loss of true country instruments.

[1devo6587]

im not hating, i love this song! i love old country! i was talking about new country!

[wynotte5]

still one of the classics...love it!!!

[TheTrueLichKingUS]

This is what country music is supposed to sound like. Today all country music is a disappointment thanks to the fact that the electric guitar is more prominent than the banjo and acoustic guitar. Long live The Charlie Daniels Band and the most badass fiddle player to have ever lived! God Bless the true country music and may it forever stay a remembered part of our wondrous musical history.

[keaka51]

The Zac Brown Band is better and faster....... and this guys is an old fart as it is...... let alone how old this video is......that makes him way old......

[bmase2007]

@keaka51 Zac Brown looks about as country as my hippie friends

[ihfatite]

i think its safe to say charlie daniels is the most badass fiddle player that ever lived

[DEELEY07]

yeh haa good song

[bmase2007]

too bad country doesn't sound like this anymore... it's all just Taylor Swift gay shit

[HeavenSent0000]

@bmase2007 yeah country and rap have gone way down hill... ive given up on it now just listen to jrock/jpop :P

[bmase2007]

i just listen to classic rock and old country

[MrsStormyHedlund]

man you said it all!

[1devo6587]

to bmase2007: i know right, all conutry is now is people singing in the worlds most fakeist sounthern accent, yet people listen to that, i pefer more of the classic stuff!

[sixshooter1861]

@bmase2007 AMEN!!! i agree completely

[tazdeman]

@bmase2007...Most of the country you hear today, is not in fact country music, it is labeled as top 40 which is why most of it will transfer from top 40 stations to country music station on the radio.

[sokker18]

@bmase2007 hahaha the rating would only let me put up one thumb!!!!!!!!!

[SavageInsight]

@bmase2007 Cowboy Country is what they call oldschool n.n

[NightHorder]

@bmase2007

Finally, someone sees it the same way I do XD

[ketanisgods]

@bmase2007 Don't forget Justin Bieber and his version of country.

[MRCALIfornyay]

@bmase2007 its more folky than country man

[maggot1111666]

@MRCALIfornyay

its fiddle its just not irish

[MRCALIfornyay]

@maggot1111666 wats that suppose to mean?



[maggot1111666]

@MRCALIfornyay

the other dude said it was folk but its not, its fiddle but it is not recognized as fiddle because it is not played in Irish style, nothing bad though hes best ive ever heard

[MRCALIfornyay]

@maggot1111666 if u read the lyrics "IM THE BEST THERES EVER BEEN" yes he is

[guardianofcreation]

I looked this guy up because of THAT DAMN GEICO COMMERCIAL...I like him!

[bmase2007]

no offense.... but you never heard of Charlie Daniels before that????

[creatorofworld]

Man......Those guys can play.

[1c3f1r3741]

he has a really bad bow hold but if he can play like that who gives a crap

[catlover75]

I know I've seen a music video of this song(devil and everything) and I can't find it

[mrladiesman99]

He is a beast but it wasn't the best quality sound

[mivoiosi]

awesome

[tgpyro2]

hes the buckethead of the fiddel

[partyinmysocks]

dude Charlie Daniels is the shit. and i have seen that one geico commercial.

[mikey7best]

hell yeah i be puttin dat shit like everyday

[linomaan]

respect!!!!!

[punke217]

Whos seen the commercial?

[Medevil9908]

fiddle's bout the best country music

[ishtech101]

The fiddle is ORIGINAL country

[ryanrule2]

you know why country "recording artists" dont play the fiddle anymore?

because the same shit team that produces shitty pop and shitty rap makes country now.

rebels indeed you fuckin sheep.

[pineztunez]

yup yup fuck yea...........

[LiviJones]

an example that comes to mind is Taylor Swift... her music has fiddles, banjos and acoustic guitars and the radio edits for the "popular" stations take all those out and add dance beats and electric guitars/basses. bleh.

best example? no, but it got me thinking.

[theanonymousman101]

Yah wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooo

[Sharona903]

@big93023 - you are an idiot.

[certifiedloco]

Fuckin' a, he's the Steve Vai of the fiddle for sure. Gotta love Charlie

[mgirardi1]

I think he sort of implies it, but hey he is probably the best there has ever been

[lyricsmything]

the crowd loved it wen he said you son of a bitch im the best theres ever been. do you think he (daniels) is johnny?

[CORYARTART]

Love this since forever. Teach at an all arts high school with a string program. Always asking the violin kids to play this. Yee haw. Chopin and Bach rock, but Daniels is KING!!! :>)

[chrisyu2]

That's how you do it son.

[shcermak]

It's called Across the Line

[NickAden13]

Please help I'm looking for one of his songs that has the lyrics red hot cars and cold blue steel in it. Can anyone tell me the name of the song or atleast the cd? It's driving me insane!

[fubarcat50]

i only say one thing: for a fat guy with a fiddle, charlie danniels always has the best hats, lol

Seriously, though, he is just excellent

[tamanrasset]

Stradivarius made the same bet, only his wager that he couldn't make a fiddle that sounded sweet even though it was solid gold. The devil's side was that Stradivarius would get a lifetime supply of the sweetest sounding wood in existence. The fiddle was a golden Stradivarius.

[twinzturbo]

@zachhay11 - If the devils fiddle was wood it would burn. You can think what you want but its a solid golden fiddle and its worth more then any other fiddle out there trust me.

[coolmen123123]

He says "son of a bitch" like a true boss

[Diemotherfkr]

@coolmen123123 rofl yeah

[Ksvitak12]

Whats with the whole Gold Fiddel thing? Couldn't it just be painted and made like a real fiddel? I konw it does not make a lot of sense but...think about it.

[vwlover94]

its fiddle music just think of it as the irish fiddle music VIOLIN

[Exxile400]

yea but why would the devil be walking around with an immitation fiddle.

[Ksvitak12]

To me, Charlie Daniels is the best fiddle player i have ever seen! I think he is a true god when it comes to playing this instrument!

[twinzturbo]

zachhay11 ya but think about it, a gold fiddle is gunna be a hell of a lot more then 8.5 pounds. Especially the devils fiddle, its solid. We are lookin at like at least a 30 pound fiddle here dude. At least a million. Get ur facts straight.

[Zachhay11]

true, but i've also heard that the most expensive fiddle was 2.6 million dollars. so back to my earlier statement a beautiful quality instrument(and music itsself) is worth more then gold. and he never said solid gold he just said gold. it would still be hollow and once again, metal accoustics don't sound good!

[bjmapa]

SUPERSTAR!!!!

[bluecatfish]

thats the real shi^ right there

[Zachhay11]

a gold fiddle? wouldn't that sound awful?

[ihatestudentdrivers]

@Zachhay11 A gold fiddle? Wouldn't that be worth hellsa money?

[Zachhay11]

of course but it'd be only worth its weight in gold. it'd just be a peice of gold not a musical instrument. i'm a guitarist and i'd much prefer mahagony over gold:) (ps. i did the calculations and right now the 1960 gibson les paul in perfect condition is worth twice its weight in gold- 8.5 pounds of gold cost $126400 where as the most prestigus les pauls cost $3-$400000

[nerdking7254]

coool

[DJacks0414]

Dude, its a freaking song. If the devil wants a golden fiddle it's going to be the best fiddle ever made and sound like a thousand screaming virgins covered in demonic jizzum.

[911winkler]

Awsome~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!
