Nice one! This does sound similar to some of the BCC (Black Country Communion) material too, which is another fantastic blend of UK west Midlands metal with traditional blues. Great piece of music.
@@FluxDiablo Closest thing that comes to my mind is some of the tracks off John Paul Jones "Zooma" from 1999, funnily enough around the same time The White Stripes dropped thier debut. Check out "Nosumi Blues" if you haven't heard it, It's sublime.
I saw the title and thought, "WTF?". But, whatever comes from Justin's fingers is magic and hits the gut - just right. BIG thanks to the boys in the band - that synth worked perfectly in this context and the bass and drums, right on point.
I could see this working perfectly in a Rob Zombie movie while somebody is rolling up on someone else’s house, this playing in their ride WAAY HEAVY!!! ✌🏻💙🎶
There's some slide (a little bit) in More Human Than Human , so no wonder Zombie comes to mind right away. There could be more, for sure. Once one notices something, one may start finding it everywhere when it was overlooked before. Whatever some sound is named or declared, this here is good stuff anyway.
@@michaeljarvis5489very true. Since I got my shovel guitar and started playing I notice slide in songs I’ve listened to for years and never knew it was in there. ✌🏻❤️🎶
For the sweet love of mercy, you MUST do a full album of this! And if you want a vocalist, get Nathan James from Inglorious and Iconic. He would be perfect for this kind of music.
Thank you Justin ........just what I needed to hear... I feel like I'm in the SWAMP today, it's damn near a 101, & I am sweating like a beaver trying to build me a damn.... But you've got me all relaxed now, and putting all that hard work aside to just chillax, finally got off my feet and listened to your jam..... Your tunes keep the spirit of the "down south blues alive", I'll hang out at the SWAMP anytime your around....keep up your jams, thank you, I am a great great fan.......
This reminds me of LILY OF THE VALLEY , makes me feel like it's 2020 again , that was a good year for getting sloshed while listening to your songs like son of a witch, while my guitar gently weeps, blood moon, tennesee whiskey, etc thanks for another great one to add to my favorites, this year has been a great run so far.
I'm in Berlin now, second day of stoner Desertfestival. This performance would have a place here - southern blues meets heavy brittish rock from Birm Sabbath
And boom. There it is. A new sound. I really think the inclusion of keys in the arrangement is what sets this off. You've got something unique here. I hope to hear more!
You made exactly what I’ve been hearing in my head for years come alive. My favorite guitarist bringing metal back to its humble blues roots. Thank you Justin!!!
@@joshuawills5242 I'm often dubious when people mention listening to stuff at higher speeds. But on this occasion i'll hold my hands up & stand corrected. It does sound pretty damn good at 1.5x lol😂
People always said it was weird that I love old country and metal. Never really cared what they said or thought but the older I get the more I realize there's a lot of other people out there that just love good music 🤘💀🤘
So incredibly good. My favorite thing you have done honestly! The talent in finding the unique and molding it into something flat out perfect is on full display. Props to you! Great great work!!
Metal + blues = perfection. I felt a lot of heavier grooves and ideas in previous tracks (I also did a "heavy" drum cover of Quicksilver if you wanna check it out;) and it feels like it all comes together perfectly in this tune, it's the sound I've been wanting to hear for a long time but couldn't because I'm not nearly good enough at guitar to create it ahahaha. Can't wait to hear more tracks in this style, even a whole record, or two, or even some more!
i guess that answers the 'but does it djent' question. metal blues slide shredding? i'm here for it. love it. would love to hear more of this on the mavis mule. dream guitar right there.
Ah yeah. Would love to know more about the band you jam with - the drums and bass are on point with this one. That's not to say they aren't always on point, because they are.
This is Gators in the Swamp ! U did a video 3 yrs ago.Evidently different after the band kicks in but still , Gators in the Swamp ! Great music, keep rollin' on, Justin.
I recently played live, and I used the "slapping strings" method quite a bit. My folks got a real kick out of it. Glad to see it used well! Amazing work Justin! You never disappoint. God bless you
Sooooo good! I love metal, I love the blues, and I love listening to you,Justin Johnson!!! Big fan! You and Stevie Ray Vaughn are my favorite blues guitarists!!! 🥰🎸🤘
Justin, did you meet the devil at the crossroads and make the deal to dance across the fretboard so effortlessly that it tickles one's eardrums magically!?!?
Black Sabbath if they came from Birmingham, Alabama rather than Birmingham, England.
😂😂😂
Nice one! This does sound similar to some of the BCC (Black Country Communion) material too, which is another fantastic blend of UK west Midlands metal with traditional blues.
Great piece of music.
sharing the aloha JJ's cover of "Paranoid" just saying ruclips.net/video/CbLw0rT0cHM/видео.html
Swamp Sabbath
I'd listen to an entire album of this no problem
Imagine with some badass vocals? Music match made in heaven!
White stripes?

Metal and blues really need to come together more often. All the right pieces are there for amazing stuff.
They are always together, bro.
@@savin2807 well.they do a shit job of acting like it
@@savin2807 Definitely rooted, but putting blues on display like this in metal is not done as often as it should be (handful of exceptions out there)
Stoner Metal is usually pretty blues-heavy, always a good way to go :D
This be *Modern* blues. It might not sound traditional, but it’s another Monday in *The Brotherhood of Pain.*
Definitely getting “When The Levee Breaks” vibes. Very cool!
MORE, give me MORE . My two favorite types of music together. So coooooool . All of Justin’s music is over the top. So glad I found him music .
Yeah, this is the sound we so crave for. Please make an Johnson Metal Delta Blues album!
I second this motion for a Metal Delta album!! \m/ \m/
Hell yeah me thrice it down
All in favor?
AYE
There, the “ayes” have it, the motion carries. The album must now commence forthwith.
I mean, the blues is one of the reasons why metal exists, so... I loved this.
Being both a metal head and into delta blues, this is the bomb! Would love to hear more of this heavy sound.
I would love to hear a metal band play during a blackout using resonator instruments. The show must go on.
So megadeth
Dark Country approach... awesome tone!!!
Yep. We definitely need a full album of this style. 😍
Check out Low Volts. He has a very similar sound to this.
can't let that heavy metal sound disappear it must make a big comeback. and better.
Love this heavy Southern metal!! Awesome
Yessss, both of my favorite music styles combined
Wow this is just amazing, have not heard anything like this from Justin can't believe the sound coming from the resonator.
I saw the title and thought, "WTF?". But, whatever comes from Justin's fingers is magic and hits the gut - just right. BIG thanks to the boys in the band - that synth worked perfectly in this context and the bass and drums, right on point.

Oh YEAH! You guys just scratched two of my favorite itches - The Blues AND Metal! Thank y'all VERY much!
Anything Justin Johnson does is just plain awesome!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎😎
As Lynard Skynard once said, “You Got That Right”
@@LoneWolf-McWeed *Lynyrd Skynyrd*
I don't know how you would call this genre but it is absolutely gorgeous. Please keep it up, cannot wait for another drop of something alike 🤩
I guess it'd be Delta Metal.
I think this qualifies as swamp metal
This the light end of the stoner/sludge metal vibe.
Cool AF Rock? You know, the thing with heavy blues influences that was the father of metal?
primus esque at points, the riff progression reminds me of "Shake Hands with Beef" or "My Name is Mudd"
For the sweet love of mercy, you MUST do a full album of this! And if you want a vocalist, get Nathan James from Inglorious and Iconic. He would be perfect for this kind of music.

Well done JJ! I could picture those Gators making their way out of the swamp! 👍👍🎸🎸
Can't get enough of this track. it's the perfect mix of Delta blues and metal. If you make a whole album like this it would sell
Alright, alright, alright! Lovin' that resonator! More please 💖🤘🎶👏

like delta blues love metal bring it on
This just shows how close to blues is metal. Incredible!
I'm in Berlin now, second day of stoner Desertfestival. This performance would have a place here - southern blues meets heavy brittish rock from Birm Sabbath
And boom. There it is. A new sound. I really think the inclusion of keys in the arrangement is what sets this off. You've got something unique here. I hope to hear more!
Love this sound 🤘🤘 guitar magic.
The fact that the guitar is barely distorted and still got that metal tone is proof enough that you dont always need to have the gain at max
You made exactly what I’ve been hearing in my head for years come alive. My favorite guitarist bringing metal back to its humble blues roots. Thank you Justin!!!
This is the sound I have been trying to create! Bluesy riffs with a good amount of distortion!
Stoner rockish more to my ear rather than metal, but you're still an icon Justin. Beautifully played - well done.
Yeah very CLUTCH sounding.
Perhaps you should call it 'where the desert meets the swamp' haha
Robin Trower...
Play it at 1.5x speed, definitely closer to metal for most of it. Enjoyable no matter the genre and playback speed though X)
@@joshuawills5242 I'm often dubious when people mention listening to stuff at higher speeds. But on this occasion i'll hold my hands up & stand corrected. It does sound pretty damn good at 1.5x lol😂
Still listen to the nola swamp blues every now and then
Damn that was fire 🔥🔥🔥 I love Delta Blues and I love Metal so.. 💯 Awesome
Thanks brother!
Love the drummer. Deep grove that even I couldn’t fall out of. I never thought I was a metal fan. But if this is metal, I’m a metal fan.
This is great, all that intense energy and attitude from the roots of the genre itself. This is the music we need more of nowadays.
Justin Johnson is becoming more impressive every time I hear him. This genre is captivating...
He really is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
Only gets better with age 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I didn't know Swamp Metal was a thing, but I'm in... :)
The synth add soooooo much. This is great.
Always good to see something new!
People always said it was weird that I love old country and metal. Never really cared what they said or thought but the older I get the more I realize there's a lot of other people out there that just love good music 🤘💀🤘

This tune and sound is so addictive that I don't have the words. I'm both a metal head and a blues man, and this nourishes what's left of my soul.

Amazing fusion of sounds there, I really like it. Love the way you mic'd the guitar, too.
Thanks Jack!
I love listening to Justin Johnson and I definitely love metal so hearing both together is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Супер классный гитарист и музыкант! Просто восторг! Спасибо Братан.
армяшку спросить надо
Был на Сахалине в 80 у меня напарник,Манукян.имя забыл.он жил на юге Сахалина,а работали мы на севере у нефтяников.хороший был напарник.
Ah yeah.
Would love to know more about the band you jam with - the drums and bass are on point with this one. That's not to say they aren't always on point, because they are.
Music from the Hideout. Never disappoints!
This needs to be a thing. Please continue this.
Holy molly, thank you for such a banger of a song!
Hearing this has just changed my whole day.
Lord Have Mercy! You need to do a full album! I'm already jotting down lyrics to this & vocals!!!
Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤❤❤OMG, you had me right from the opening on this one. AWESOME!!! Please do a whole bunch more of this!!! ❤❤❤
we did it, we've done a full circle: first we evolved blues into metal and now we made a metalized version of a blues song, marvelous
This is Gators in the Swamp ! U did a video 3 yrs ago.Evidently different after the band kicks in but still , Gators in the Swamp ! Great music, keep rollin' on, Justin.
This is amazing!
Hey Ed, I really like the short explanations you give before you play the song.
J J is 🔥 in any genre
Best yet. Justin is great in solo but Love it when you play with the band
Brilliant.💚
It shall be known as "Blue Steel". Love this sound.
I’ve been waiting for something like this!!!!!!
I recently played live, and I used the "slapping strings" method quite a bit. My folks got a real kick out of it. Glad to see it used well! Amazing work Justin! You never disappoint.
God bless you
Can we get a whole album like this, please?
Love this...reminds me of 'New Orleans Heavy Swamp Blues' on the fretless 6 string
Finalmente alguien que permite al bajo brillar.
Usted es de los míos.
I never get tired of listening to this man. Wow!
This is amazing I can’t stop listening to it 👍
AWESOME!!!!! I would buy that album!
You're great !!!🤘🎸🤠
I love it, this song have balls. Make full album of this kind of songs please
Holy shyte that was awesome brother JJ🙏🏻💜🇨🇦
Sounds like it would fit in perfect with the heavier stuff from the Peaky Blinders soundtrack ❤
Make a full album in this style. This is next level.
wow, sounds amazingly good!!
Yes, an album would make me very happy! 😀
Hoooooo yeah !!! me too !!! :))
F'n awesome! 👍
Justin Johnson is my spirit animal.
Stoner metal! Love it!
Dope metal is a thing, and it doesn't sound like this, but this is outstanding.
*Modern Blues fo’ the Workin’ Man.*
I could listen to you solo over a groove like this all day
Absolute 🔥
Amazing piece of work. Not a single word yet the band tells a story that leaves me hanging until the final note!!!
Ima listen again!!!
Джейсон! Вы делаете кавер ,и о чудо,слушать это намного интересней чем заезжаный оригинал!Видимо это только Вы можете. Это уникально и неподражаемо.
Его зовут Джастин Джонсон
@@ИзяШаломандра Да! Непростительная
ная ошибка
This is some badass music. It's nice to be taken aback and just listen to those sweet licks.
Просто великолепно 🤠🤘
Sooooo good! I love metal, I love the blues, and I love listening to you,Justin Johnson!!! Big fan! You and Stevie Ray Vaughn are my favorite blues guitarists!!! 🥰🎸🤘
Justin, did you meet the devil at the crossroads and make the deal to dance across the fretboard so effortlessly that it tickles one's eardrums magically!?!?
Awesome More drive and blues with elements of rock and metal.
This is amazing
Super guitar ! :)
Fabulous lost myself in the sound.
Oh Hell Yeah! This is sweet to hear, thanks for puttin' it in my ear! 😎
Джастин возвышается всё больше и больше своим талантом это высокий профессиональный уровень у этого человека 🔥🔥🔥
Danke!
Thank you Almut
