[karmasnan]

[XxvaultlegendxX]

wud this saying this be right/correct?

charlie daniels = the country musics version of chuck norris?

[coollava27]

@stiglaa Becuase he plays so damn fast man lol

[kimmychristy]

@the one who said to look up Celtic Woman The Foxhunter... I am not impressed. So she can spin and jump around on stage while playing the fiddle, big deal. IMO, her performance lacks climax... Charlie's rocks.

[MegaImawesome12345]

he is one of the best\

[dannyboysdrivein]

Love Charlie!



[Rhad1979]

The stayed at Texas, when he learned this song....

[MyGamer125]

I wonder what Daniels did with that Golden Fiddle he won

[thebroskeez]

Fuck this man plays a fucking mean fiddle.

[gabrielharter]

"son of a gun?: C'mon..give up the PG-13 version!

[DarkSecret48]

[shzze]

[javitha34]

OMG that man is awesome!!!

[Coogah88]

Fiddle rule number one: Always break a hair on your bow, it'll make you look that much more awesome. Check.

[turt1997]

Anyone wanna bet that the sheet music for this song is atleast 5 pages long?

[msmandalync]

[joooie1977]

charlie danials is the man when it comes to the fiddle. im not a country fan but i loved this song for years

[TheFacebookUsers]

You can tell he plays a lot just by the amount of rosin on the end of the finger board! Dayum! Love!

[XxvaultlegendxX]

[stagkos7]

[PuppyZwolle]

@123thecrew123 No it's not.

[stiglaa]

At 4.32 his bow was in disgrace!!. Where does he get them.....Wallmart!!?.

[xJohnnyx3000x]

@stiglaa He plays with more pressure than most players. He does that in almost every show he did.

[TheJheromanear]

click here 0:26 to start music :D

[PantryFilms]

this happens when santa drinks whiskey

[hmscott1968]

IM NOT BIG ON COUNTRY BUT THAT MAN IS THE BOMB

[firehorse66100]

@hmscott1968

I agreee!

[189317]

Eminem has nothing on Charlie Daniels

[aspectra]

Why did they wait that long to induct Charlie Daniels into the Grand Ole Opry. The guy should have gained membership long before the likes of Brad Paisley, Martina McBride and early, younger inductees.

[allcountrygirl911]

I sooooo wanna learn to play the fiddle! Thumbs up if you agree!

[NZTritium]

I swear his fiddle sounds out of tune. (not hating)

[staywithaces1984]

@NZTritium maybe cuz it was live instead of the studio

[JagannathMxO]

@NZTritium It's not out of tune...something's wrong with his bow, I think? I'm not a fiddle player, but it's making a shitty scratching noise underneath the actual melody that's throwing me off.

[CUTIEPETUTIE100]

fat guys SHOULD NOT wear yellow

[march1836]

This guy is a fat pig! I wonder what hatched him?

[boatman1245]

@march1836 Obviously you have nothing better to do than be as obnoxious as possible. Get a life, loser.

[march1836]

@boatman1245 I DO have a life, and enjoying it too, but without fat boy's musica! YOU call him a singer? I've heard better in whorehouses without a band!

[boatman1245]

@march1836 Trololololol detected!

[YouEatMyDust]

@march1836 hes a REAL singer not computer generated like the people you call i singer i bet

[Zacharytehgreat]

@march1836 if hes a pig, how could he have been hatched?

[march1836]

@Zacharytehgreat I see your Enistein!

[11metalfan]

@march1836  you're*

[F14ace]

@march1836 Pathetic troll is pathetic.

[ad356]

@march1836 that's not fair. charlie daniels is a legend.

[William2020a]

You boys wanna see what went down to Atlanta, Georgia? Just youtube search for... Celtic Woman, Believe, The Foxhunter .... and see the best fiddler in the world, Mairead Nesbitt, doing a live performance.

[MissMarietwenty11]

I'm gonna see him in concert in six days! :D

[DhyegoSinatra]

BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTT......................

[originalbobbeast3]

He is the best there's ever been.

[kja427]

Country Music today doesn't have this pizzazz. The thing about Mr. Daniels is that's the element he had:pizzazz. If stuff like this exists today, I haven't seen it.

[GameAdict92]

Damn 

[tlunsford1018]

@joshtube9 he didnt fail he couldnt use it because the hairs were pretty mych destroyed

[GuitarandBrett]

Brilliant.

[TheMonstertrucker]

One of the best fiddle player ever!

[UNOMAVS11]

HAHAHAHAHA look its prospector from toy story 2

[KeshnerfFilms]

Devil punishes the bad guys, and gets called evil...

[Martinez53072]

@KeshnerfFilms He punishes those unworthy to go to heaven...

[KeshnerfFilms]

@Martinez53072 And you are unworthy if? You don't accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. Doesn't matter how good you have been to your fellow human beings, or how bad, and you call it moral.

[joshtube9]

Love this! Even towards the end, when he flips the bow, misses it, goes on like nothing happened, and then GOES FOR HIS SPARE so that he can complete the song. Total pro!

[alabamagirl49]

I love Charlie Daniels. I got to see him a few years back at the Tenn. River Run. he was AWESOME!!

[TheCormaQ]

SICK MAN! that was sick. Even the old people got fired up!

[SchoolShinanigins]

So this is what santa claus is doing these days. (Y)

[moisabamf]

Could switching to gieco really save 15% or more on car insurance?

is the Devil a bad gambler?

[sergeantassassin2]

I love how no bow's strings can stand under his awesome playing skills. Look closely, and you can see the broken ones flapping as he tears up that fiddle, and he even has to break out a second one to finish the song, as the first one is frayed beyond use.

His skill is far too great for mere mortal instruments, which is why he's got that golden fiddle at home.

[FighterOfTehNightman]

thats how you play teh fiddle

[B3N3D1K7]

give this man a golden fidel

[gypsiecat1]

this is my favorite part of the genre called country music.

[TheCooleo900]

Holy shit is that... SANTA!?!!!

[JESS42982]

Marty Stuart has had the same hair for as long as I can remember (20 years or so)...

[patriciofabianlg]

quien es pe presentador que es el puma

[triphex]

If you are the 235 of 3.5 million, do you have earplugs in?

[backstyck]

@tehfunnehmann Contrasting Charlie Daniels with Bach makes you seem a bit pretentious. Maybe you should appreciate each for what they are.

[TehFunnehMann]

@backstyck Look, just because you and your hillbilly, cousin fucking, tobacco dipping, knuckle draging cult can't understand what I'm talking about doesn't mean I am pretentious, it just means you're too stupid to understand an educated critique.

[backstyck]

@TehFunnehMann I didn't mean to offend. I didn't say you were pretentious, if you'd reread my comment. After reading your response, I gladly retract part of my last post about you: the word "seem". I enjoy classical music, but not for the same reason as I enjoy Charlie Daniel's playing. Maybe I do lack the "proper" education to appreciate an "educated" critique, but fortunately for everyone, "education" is not required to enjoy music.

[TehFunnehMann]

@backstyck Okay, I understand now and you're actually right about that.

[backstyck]

@TehFunnehMann It's all good. :)

[Kardall]

@backstyck If you could only apply that to everything. Maybe the world would be a better place...

[roomfullofidiots]

@backstyck @tehfunnehmann... Good thing @tehfunnehmann's opinion doesn't matter at all....at all.....like at all...This song is great! A classic. And fuck all his music theory talk. Duke Ellington, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, was asked the question one time, "What is good music?" he replied, "if it sounds good, it is good". Simple.

[RozzaCello1112]

@roomfullofidiots ah but you see, what is good? different things sound good to different people. music is an art, and art, in all of it's forms, is subjective, q.e.d., there are many philosophies of good and bad. these philosophies gave birth to genres and preferences. music is a mysterious, beautiful and complex creation of man and may be appreciated in any which way conceivable by man. epic song by the the way.

[backstyck]

@roomfullofidiots Great quote. The guy definitely knew what he was talking about.

[TehFunnehMann]

@roomfullofidiots You sound like a complete hick. "Why is that fuckin' asshole talkin' all that smart boy talk. Let's git 'em!" That's what you sound like, but to your credit, you are able to spell 'all' and that impresses me. My first impression of you is a rebl flag waving, gay bashing, hick that isn't smart enough to tie his own shoes.

[roomfullofidiots]

@TehFunnehMann hahahahahhahahahhah..... Seriously though, all kidding aside, you aren't really like this in real life are you?....Also, you misspelled "rebel", smart boy. :) Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

[TehFunnehMann]

@roomfullofidiots I appreciate good music and any music that I have a problem with I call it out. I miss keys on the computer a lot so that explains the spelling. I'm not a very angry guy but anti-intellectualism pisses me off. I absolutely hate when people take pride in there ignorance and stupidity. Happy Holidays.

[roomfullofidiots]

@TehFunnehMann Fair enough. I do the same thing. I'm a musician myself, and I'm extremely critical of music - so I feel ya there. I also understand you point about ignorance , stupidity, and such, but if someone feels the need to be stupid, then thank God I live in a country where one can be stupid. You have renewed my faith, a small bit, in the people who roam about in this deep, dark, abyss called the internet.

[TehFunnehMann]

@roomfullofidiots Thank you, this goes the same for you.

[namejimmy]

okay yes , lets compare classical pieces to country that seems reasonable.

[lmWatchingVideos]

anyone else notice a couple of threads broke on his bow? :P

[TwilightEmblem94]

I get the goosebumps every time. seriously. EVERY time I listen to this.

[TehFunnehMann]

Pretty good, but nothing like Johann Sebastian Bach's violin concerto in a minor.

[h3rm3z2010]

@TehFunnehMann but can you really compare fiddle to classical violin? they are so drastically different

[TehFunnehMann]

@h3rm3z2010 The reason I conpared the two is because they are both fast pieces. I understand that they styles are different, but Bach uses chords that practically wrench your heart out of your chest. Charlie Daniels does a good blood pumping affect, but not good use of chords or intervals.

[sixstringsixshooter]

@TehFunnehMann I hope you aren't being serious. To compare this to Back is fucked up.

[TehFunnehMann]

@sixstringsixshooter First of all it's 'Bach', sencond of all Bach uses better chords and use of intervals. I understand Mr. Daniels use of dissonence, but he doesn't pull it of to well.

[sixstringsixshooter]

@TehFunnehMann I'm not even speaking poorly of Back. It is a completely different spectrum of music. You must have misunderstood.

[TehFunnehMann]

@sixstringsixshooter I know you weren't. When I'm comparing them, I am comparing there sound and choice of notes. It is true that they are different types of music, but I think that these critiques could trancend to both.

[slipknotrulesjackass]

i hate myself for liking this song

[yyz1500cc]

yeeeeee haaawwwww !! that was smokin' !!

[MrBigred314]

Classic...

[Jayui22]

Катюша ис бетъер!

[DragonPanther1000]

i don't care what anyone says but this is 1 of the all time best song, no matter how anyone how feels, I have 2 boys that play violin and fiddling is the hardest to play and Charlie is one of the best, hope my sons play like him one day. with practice I'm sure they will..... Love ya Alan and Andre:)

[TommysCAT]

EPIC!

[TheFailUnit]

Whoa...

[crassazell]

Just picked up a fiddle at the begining of the song and blow me down I can now play better than God guess that makes me better.

[alexanderthegreat731]

Hes rockin' (or countrian') so hard that half his bow lost it's hair

[Hawkeyez724]

Let's just think of the horror his wife goes through when he plays her fiddle

[QueenofCountry13]

I hate that one back up singer!

[alexanderthegreat731]

@QueenofCountry13 oh that back up singer

[QueenofCountry13]

@alexanderthegreat731 Yeah you can't hear Charlie.

[SKITTLEZforever1]

now i wanna learn the fiddle :P

[QueenofCountry13]

@SKITTLEZforever1 Me too!

[ThePredster]

This dude is 80 years old and still schooling people on the fiddle. Like a Baawwwss.

[QueenofCountry13]

@ThePredster He's 75! 

[Theresa968]

Charlie Daniels is too cool. I love country music and I don't care what other african americans think. Yeee Hawww!!!!

[MultiChristinaD]

[RangerOfOz]

He had way too much fun up there. Sign of a performer. Love this song.

Also, 231 dislikes? Which pre-digested pop princess voted this down?

[QueenofCountry13]

@RangerOfOz I agree.

[Cloud6556]

"Wouldn't a solid gold fiddle weigh hundreds of pounds and sound crummy?"

[Kruezoraxe]

So that's what happened to Johnny B Goode. He picked up the fiddle.

[number4422]

2:52 is the best :D

[cpmower]

I love how much character he has. :-). Hes the best.

[Manny11278912345321]

his goal on that stage was to pwn everybody on that stage with his fiddle

[ThePCGamerFussell]

@Manny11278912345321 I believe we would all agree that he did sir.

[MrPils1966]

[miss123freakshow]

[sculp20]

[JSleezit5]

288 people are the Devil's slaves.
