Hi there, my name is Leo and run a studio on the westside of Norway where I do music and video stuff for youtube. I also have a band called Frog Leap, where we do my metal covers live.
For my covers I play everything myself as well as record, mix, master, shoot and edit the music & videos.
The thing I think I like about Leo most is the class he shows when a fellow musician passes away. No selling of his own music, just a classy tribute. RIP Mr. Daniels. Thanks Leo
I loved that he put the tribute in for Charlie daniels
God given credit he did a damn good job
yeah he damn sure did
R/ S well aren’t you a ray of sunshine? Everyone has something good to say except you. Why bitch about a tribute?
I came here to say exactly this. Much respect Leo.
I saw Charlie Daniels on stage, this was a few months before he passed away. He walked on the stage like he owned it and I was, I am ashamed to say, wondering if an old guy like him could manage this song like he did when he was young. But he did - he played it flawlessly. There he was, an old grandpa looking guy, and he was just sawing away on his fiddle. It was SO DARN FAST. No mistakes. I feel really lucky that I got to see him. It wasn't even my plan to, someone else bought me the ticket. But I can honestly say I witnessed a real piece of Americana. There'll never be another like him.
You’re so damn lucky
Like you. I was privileged to see him, several times. Wonderful musician and man. RIP
@@j.g.5992 Seen him several times also. Even shook his hand at the NY State Fair.
My older sister has 1 of his cowboy hats. I've begged her for it. She won't turn it loose.
@@denisethetford9178 Well, if I were her I'd go get a glass box for it made to keep it dust free. What a man!
The devil whispered to me “you’re not strong enough to withstand the storm” and I whispered back “ at least I didn’t lose my golden fiddle to some hillbilly in Georgia”
Roast session lol
..and I whispered back "I love your eggs."
Chris Adams and I wispered I lost my eggs a while ago
Careful, the Devil himself underestimated a hillbilly in Georgia. Don't be so cocky to believe you wouldn't do the same.
@@JSchaffer214 I'm pretty sure i'm not qualified to estimate hillbillies in Georgia, so that's not much of an issue.
I love how Johnny was just sitting there minding his own business and was totally down to bet his soul in a fiddle contest against the devil himself.
This seems more reasonable, the more time you spend in Georgia.
Always bet on yourself
You can always tell when Leo is doing a song HE wants to do, they always stand out and he has a lot of fun with them.
As opposed to...what?
@hiOOxkr magkis لعن آل سعود فضيله seems like the devil is a sore loser.
As a Georgian, it’s normal to see the devil in a bike battling fiddle kids
as opposed to the church which just fiddles kids
I blame the moonshine
In a bike?? Do people in Georgia go around looking inside of bicycles or something..? What a stupid fuckin place...
@@JD_tcb typos are a thing bud. Don't be THAT guy.
@@kendrafournier7489 Not for me they're not. I spend like 2 extra seconds and never have any typos ever. Crzay rgiht?
I'm from Georgia, and this is the song EVERYONE knows, no matter what music genre you listen to.
This is an AMAZING cover!
Totally, the primus verison is gold, the one released on guitar hero is a solid platinum.
Definitely missin GA
I'd be willing to trade. I'm stuck in Houston county
👍
Another ga boy here I can remember when this song came out loved it then and love it now r.i.p. Charlie.
Ok how are you not already a rock god? My mom died when I was 9 and this song has always been my link to her memory because it was one of her favorites. She would have loved this so thank you.
_Condolence_
Johnny & the Devil goes metal! What do you wanna hear next? Let me know in the comments:)
Aenema by tool
Anything reel big fish?
Digimon Theme Song! Could be really sweet as a metal cover!
The Hives please Leo 🙏🤘
ruclips.net/video/eiWClZrJSZY/видео.html
Charlie Daniels actually used to frequent the area here and play fiddle for a friend of his that had cancer. Hopefully they're chilling together again now.
The original can't be beat but this one comes really close. RIP Charley Daniels.
Except for the version his son did with Steve ouimette
nah primus has the best one
I’d say my second would be Zach brown band they’re pretty good at it
@@poptartsmemesgames6041 "The best cover". I fixed it for you.
I think the devil won this battle in this version, lol
That was a tribute I think Charlie Daniels would be proud of RIP 😢
No
Maybe, maybe not. Either way, he covered it. That says a lot in itself. Unless he's running out of shit to cover.
Awesome tribute. Awesome cover
I remember... Primus doing this as a cover as well. Still love this.
Go listen to nickelbacks cover
Wow Leo... This was the new and definitive Masterclass of covers. Country meets Metal is ALWAYS a great mix. R.I.P. Charlie.
I'm from the South US. I have the draw accent and love anything southern and metal. This is absolutely fantastic yall!!
I never knew I needed a hard rock version of this song until now.
You haven’t heard the GH3 version?
@@emilymatthews2990 SAME!! I grew up playing it on Guitar Hero 3!!!!
Yea I was getting wynonas big brown beaver vibes. Lol
What an outstanding tribute to Charlie Daniels. Thank you, Leo - you did very well.
This song is a perfect example of how some music becomes part of the fabric of humanity.
Amen brother
Totally and utterly brilliant tribute to the late great Charlie Daniels. Thank you for keeping as close to the original as you did and still tribute with your usual flourish
I’m 29 years old and The Devil Went Down to Georgia has been my all time favorite song since I was 6 years old. You did a fantastic job with this cover.
Love that you gave it an almost Primus feel. Also love the improvised "devil" performance solo.
THATS EXACTLY what I was going to say but got caught up reading the comments and then you said it! 😍
Living in Mt. Juliet TN and growing up knowing Charlie personally this is a great video in his remembrance as King of the Fiddlers
King of the Fiddlers does not sound like the kind of name one would want to have, to be honest with you.
I saw the Charlie Daniels Band as a kid at the State Fair and was overjoyed at my first concert. The band would be proud of this rendition.
Weird..mine too! But because my uncle was a drummer on the tour! Legend of Woolly Swamp!!!😉
The Devil has not yet understood who he contacted. He was lucky that young Johnny was in good spirits. Insanely amazing cover! The violin part is lovely. Looking at Leo in this role, it becomes clear that this is exactly what the most handsome guy in the village should look like❤🌼
Leo looking around Norway: "Now, what does Georgia look like..."
Exactly what I thought 😂
Bright and hot LoL
HA! Awesome 👍
Im in Georgia. He got the Sandy part right, but I'll cut him slack on the rest
Ha ha ha, yeah
Amazing tribute to a southern legend
And how about ghost riders in the sky for a cover
I second this
@@SFormby I third this .
4thed!
Seventh'd
Eighth'd!
Put Spiderbait to shame, Leo!
RIP Charlie Daniels, you were a legend when you were alive and even more so now. God bless.
The tribute at the end to the late great Charlie Daniel’s was very respectful, well done Sir.
Horseshit
better than I thought it would be. I'll bet Charlie smiled
I agree! He would have liked it! Lol probably would have took him to Georgia himself!
Agreed also!! Adding to your comment I would assume that Steve ouimette (Gh3 version for those unfamiliar by name) would like it too, his version (in my opinion) was unrivalled by pretty much every other rock 'n' roll cover, until Leo's version. Again my opinion, this is the only other cover that sounds good and doesn't ruin the song like some attempted covers.
R.I.P Charlie. Amazing artist never forgotten.
I love how the Devil rode in on Leo's daughter's bike.
Legion of Weirdos - Christopher Mast me too!
Did you guys not know the devil works for her?
@@RedElectrik I don't know if it was intentional but your comment sounds spot on as a line straight out of a show called letterkenny. Lol
Charlie Daniels
-Freedom loving patriot
-Country boy
-A good and honest man
-Best fiddle player in the world
-Best fiddle player in Heaven
One hell of a man, may he rest in peace or party with the greats.
Wonderful tribute Leo. If anybody could turn country/bluegrass into metal, it’s definitely you.
How have I never come across this man's awesomeness until now???!!! I feel cheated. New fan right here.
Great job Leo. RIP Charlie Daniels
"Crazy on you" by Heart.
This just brought me back to ~10 years ago, playing Guitar Hero 3 and hearing their version and then listening to the original with my dad! Thank you Leo, and R.I.P Charlie Daniels, we will always miss you. ✊🎸🎻
Spiritual experience- Leo "I need a bass line and kick drum... Southern style".
Well done Sir!
Genius.
Devil: I challenge you leo to a fiddle contest
Leo: plays as the entire band
I would never be stupid enough to challenge him to a contest of music.
Leo would play for the Devil too.
@@hieronymusnervig8712 The Devil would play for Leo too. Sorry, fixed that for you.
Fun Fact: Leo also played the groupies
okay but there wasn't any fiddle at all in the entire track
Devil: "This is impossible! I've been beaten in metal! Metal is MY MUSIC!!! Curse you, Leo!" [Gives Leo a guitar made of gold]
From whence you came, you shall remain, until you are complete again
I'm putting this up there with Africa in the ranks. Really well done
Dude.. taking on Charlie and Les.. you sold it.. I want to see you and Les slaying live....
This song was so much fun on Guitar Hero 3, that version was so badass
yet so underated ! but yes this song was brutal as fuck !
I have to admit that I like the GH3 version a tiny bit more than Leo's
If you’re wondering who did the cover for the game, it’s Steve ouimette.
No joke I remember the nights spent failing solos on gh3. Trying to memorize the damn notes as they come at you at damn near lightspeed lol.
Creepzkun the only problem with Leo’s is that he doesn’t adapt Johnny’s solo. He just replays the opening fiddle number in its place.
You can always tell a true musician from all the try to fit in people when a man from a totally country and total different genre pays tribute to a one of the greats that paved the way passes on. Thank you Leo! Your respect points went 100% in my book. If you ever wind up in the USA and need a drummer look me up.
I appreciate the visuals of Johnny's personality as well. His immediate reaction to having a stranger's head thrown at him, especially. Where most would cower in disgust or confusion, Johnny immediately advances, as if his heyseed bumpkin nature hides incredible power.
Every time I click on a video that I haven’t heard before I always say there’s no way this could be sounding good and again I’m wrong. You guys killed it on this sounded awesome.
Frog leap, come for the great music, stay for Leo and his hilarious antics.
R.I.P Charlie Daniels.
He's playing a golden fiddle up high in the sky
He loved Yeshua!
@@anthonymazzone6463 just a question, are you a Hebrew
🙏🏼😇
...snatch'em from the old horned-coot in the crossroad himself...
The Devil will never have his soul!
Charlie's Daniels: passes away.
Leo: I gotchu, bro.
hail the victorious dead
That drop when the devil came in was what this song always needed. Bravo
Thanks for playing, I've been asking for this song 🎵 for a loooong time. RIP Charlie Daniels
Rest In Peace, Charlie Daniels. You were one hell of a fiddler and song writer.
Actually cried while at work after finding out he passed away
With a cover like that, I can't wait for you to do C.W McCall's Convoy
Good call, although I'd much rather see some light shone on McCall's lesser known songs... Crispy Critters or Classified would be good choices
I didnt realise I needes that until now but I certainly do!
@@TheFreeBass "Wolf creek pass" might be neat
That would be cool. There’s a badass banjo line that runs from the second verse to the end that sounds wicked on guitar (a local band here used to play a hard rock version of it that stayed close to the original).
That would be awesome
R.I.P Mr. Daniels. Just a german here whos paying his respect to a great man.
I hear you on that German part
another german here to join the group
I played the violin all through my school days, and this was one of my favorite songs to play.
This is great! What an awesome tribute to the late great Charlie Daniels! ❤
"This is not the greatest song in the world, no, this is a tribute!" - Tenacious D
once again we hear the miracle of the idea of devildrivers metal cover on country songs! well played Leo! really nicely done!
I grew up on country music. This used to be my favorite song. But I started loving metal a few years ago. This is amazing. Thank you.
RIP Charlie Daniels.
Please show us more of the Bloopers/Outtakes, Leo!
"Boy, let me tell you what. You play pretty good fiddle-
Drums
Keyboards
Bass
Lead guitar
Djent guitar
Flute
Slide whistle
Trumpet
Maracas?
Theremin?
Aw, hell. I'm out. Here's a few bricks of gold, Leo."
@George Trapp
You know he is probably practicing a harmonica solo while tuning up his lute with a kazoo, right now as I write this. 😋
@@bloodysweetzombiegirl Damn! I knew I forgot a few instruments! Arg! But, thanks.
@George Trapp
It’s ok, I will forgive you this ONE time. 😋
I am convinced he isn’t human. Hahaha! As I’ve said before, it’s like he LOOKS at an instrument and receives full knowledge of how to play AND make it über metal. His musical abilities are truly astonishing. 😊
Love love love! You have not disappointed with any of your covers yet. And this was amazing, Charlie Daniels is playing his fiddle alongside you! Rock on!
My uncle played in a band back in the 70's with a drummer who grew up with Charlie Daniels. Charlie was an all around great guy!
*Devil kickass solo*
"There's just no way that we can win,
That was a masterpiece."
He rocks too hard because he's not a mortal man!
You are the devil..
We are the D..!!
Listening to this at 1.25 speed is so hype!
Agreed
Its true !!!! Jejeje
Fuck gonna try that rn.
Even better on 1.25!
And 0.75 sounds kinda cool too
At least someone is having fun during the Pandemic. Noice.
I am lol...this is just my normal life. There is literally about nothing different since this happen...at least for me.
@King_Slayer 935 😂
Morgan Moses has ooo
Morgan Moses has to work out my
Morgan Moses has to to work on
Man that devil solo is legit my favorite of all of his songs, by far.
I just discovered you about 3 days ago, and I'm glad I did! You are absolutely brilliant on your covers, but the best part isn't even your talent. It's how you don't seem to take any of it seriously. You remind me that the reason I love music, especially playing it, is because it's FUN. You've inspired me to start playing again after a couple years hiatus.
I waited this song for five years, FIVE YEARS
And did you like it?
@@timshea2664 obviously
Good idea. Leo should cover David Bowie - "Five Years".
As someone who is in Georgia, USA; can’t say we have those awesome landscapes. Nice 👍
I saw Charlie Daniels live at a small concert in Austin ,Texas and being 7' tall with my cowboy hat on when he sang his song "simple man " he locked eyes with me and it was the coolest thing I ever heard!
They say metal is evil...this blokes metal covers bring me out of some of my darkest most evil moments...thanks leo
Tremendous. RIP Charlie Daniels indeed. He would be proud of this.
This cover of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was pretty...epic! 🤘
Why is this performance bringing tears to my eyes?
This get the official seal of approval from a fiddle playing Georgia boy🏅 well done 💪🏻
This guy always impresses me with his take on some of my favorite songs and I've heard many covers of this one and it's just one of those songs that was written and performed saw flawlessly by the original artist that all covers fall short of my expectations and leave me kinda hanging but I will give credit where credit is due. This guy ranks up there on my list for the passion he puts into his work or the work he puts into his passion I am impressed.
This video is how I learned about Charlie Daniels’ death, a death that makes this crazy year even more crazy. I like to think Charlie is playing that golden fiddle up in Heaven. 🙂
You better believe it. Think the only one who believed more was Johnny.
better believe charlie is playing that golden fiddle up in heaven...and the devil is scared to attempt round three now that He has a chorus of angels behind him
Charlie was the greatest fiddler to every sling a bow across them strings.... god bless him and may he Rest In Peace while sawing that golden fiddle way up high...
Tina Drake ❤️ great comment!! Absolutely awsome
Nah bro he is in hell doing a rematch
I love how Leo's accent peaks thru now and then always delights me
This is the best Hillbilly Amish Metal ever.
This is a great cover! RIP Charlie Daniels!
Every time I find a new song I'm always like man Leo better not mess this up I just need to learn that he always produces good content
Awesome! 🤘😁👍
Anyone else feel blueballed because he played the hook instead of Johnny's solo?
yes
Just was thinking where the hell is the other solo!
Finally someone noticing it, the cover its awesome but that specific jhonny part he avoided its the cherry of the cake
This is almost as heavy as Charlie Daniel's version.
Dude! That was badass! You made my favorite country song more awesome! 👍😁
You know. People do not give the Devil some credit. He made a deal, and he didn't change the terms after losing. He honored the deal. Good guy, the Devil. Honorable soul right there.
Imagine being the literal embodiment of evil and you lose to some kid with a straw hat
This could be a comment under a One Piece video 😂
Straw hat and epic freckles.
did he lose? Pride is the mother of all sin. The devil incited Pride and Greed in Johnny in exchange for a chunk of metal.
temmy9 Johnny just wanted to show the devil he ain’t the best so ya he won
@@temmy9 not really. The golden fiddle isn’t valuable because it’s gold. It’s valuable because it’s the best fiddle and the sign of the best player. Also, Johnny acknowledges he’s being boastful but wins making it a non-boastful statement.
In this version, the devil goes to the COUNTRY named Georgia
Oh no, is Saakashvili returning to Tbilisi?
Do you mean that one who was born at 18 dec of 1878 ? XD
If the devil went _down_ to Georgia, that implies that either the devil is a northener, or that Georgia lays below hell
Both are accurate.
😈 The devil is indeed a Yankee 😈
i mean, there are southern states north of georgia...also, if he was roaming earth, he could be canadian
Dank Memes you know how people usually go somewhere hot for vacation? Yea he was lookin for someplace hotter than hell and he found it.
This comment was also commented on the other version of this song
I love how everything Leo does has such a heavy bass
Oh Leo,
You never disappoint!
The devil won Jonny’s soul because his version was NOICE!!!
NOICE!
Loved this version, the song lends itself so well to heavier guitars.
I'd like to hear something like Try A Little Tenderness or Lets Stay Together or maybe (Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go
Do you realize how talented you are. Flipping AWESOME!
Every time he does a song that makes me think, "this won't work," I end up eating crow.
That happened to me with Hey Jude
Good thing you're not a vegetarian!
🌾🙃
@Адам Вескер You think that's gross, I'm Grosser.
Just slather it in KC Masterpiece. It makes everything better
@@earlgrosser646 Your comment is so underrated😂
I've been listening to your music for just over a month now and love your songs. I'm a beginner guitarist and would love to learn from you
I'd LOVE to hear a cover of She's Not There by The Zombies!
Great song!
This is a fantastic example of how to provide entertainment w/o a big budget.
Literally, this cost $1.78 to make
I have to say that Mr. Charlie Daniels ( R.I.P) would be pleased by this version of his song. It's awesome that you pretty much stayed to his version, except with the killer new guitar and metal sound, but Best Cover of This Song EVER. And I am a Hillbilly. Already subscribed cant wait to check out the rest of your channel. ( as the original the Devil actually won they just gave it to Johnny). Glad I found your channel. 😎😷💯🤝🤝🙏🙏🙏🙏
RIP Charlie Daniels you will be missed.
"Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks w/ Mary or Hannah on vocals is one that needs to be done,. that guitar rhythm would sound so epic with some metal crunch. Come on everybody like the hell outta this one so we can make it happen. Peace..
Or Lillian on vocals. I think _she_ could stretch those Stevie Nicks tones, nicely.
Hell yes, this is bad ass. Probably my favourite of all yours and that's saying a lot cause all your stuff is bad ass.
RIP Charlie Daniels, such a wicked awesome cover!
