In my opinion, Johnny's music part is always weak in comparsion with the Devil´s one. For the first time i find a worthy Johnny's come back, absolutely beautiful, more powerful and awesome than the devil's skills, and that, my friends, it's utterly amazing.
True. I have heard a few covers where the musicians extend Johnny's part to give a real reason why he's the best. Even Charlie did a few extended versions (that were epic enough to break strings!) at live concerts to get crowd going. This is definitely worthy of being that category of awesome.
I personally like this better than the original because of the level of skill and length given to each “show off” portion. Really makes it feel like a contest.
Throughout this whole cover, I was sort of thinking "what is the point of this cover?", and then it got to Johnny's part, and I was like "Oh." It turns out that what this song was missing was someone cutting the frick loose on a fiddle.
I‘m certainly with you, but i would even say it’s the best interpretation i ever heard of this song!! I don’t know what Lindsey Sterling or Vanessa Mae would make out of it, but it’s way better than the original!
This is the best I’ve seen. So many other videos I’ve seen, but people attempt to play this song and they don’t even come close to the original Charlie, but this young man is totally amazing.
This was a stellar cover! That "Johnny" solo was great, and lasted much longer than other covers (besides the Steve Ouimette version). It really gives the character of Johnny a great comeback towards the Devil playing his part.
God, I love the medley Johnny does in this one. The devil is setting the fiddle down, putting his hands up, and saying, “Okay, Johnny, I get it, you’ve made your point!” about halfway through the boy’s solo.
Dude this is a good cover, I’m a huge music snob and I love the transformation of the violin into your own unique thing, I can not compare this song to Charlie Daniels because this song gives me something different, and great that I can enjoy. 10K views is a crime, you deserve much more.
Damn johnny you really freaking showed that devil ! I domt think he will be. coming back anytime soon! This was amazing. I loved the similarities and original content you added here. amazing.! Haha I thank you for being a reason to brighten any mood.
Thanks for the reupload I wonder why it got removed lately youtube deletes a lot of stuff and I'm sure it's not copy right stuff whatever may be better download the stuff for backups cannot trust youtube
Thank you for posting this excellent performance! I can use so many parts from this in teaching. I like this much better than Charlie Daniels, actually.
@TWOSET VIOLIN Take a look at this boys :-) the next contender for the fastest violin player record! How about a duel for a shiny gold violin or your soul? 😂
I don't like to brag but i was born in Oklahoma. That's what they tell me anyway, but I really don't remember. I think Charlie Daniels would approve. It came to me on the second listen. I really like how you gavea nod to Clapton's "Layla" , it stumped me the first listen
This is the real fiddle player!!!! So surprised to listen to Layla's solo. This goes to my covers better than the original song list, next to Josh turner's lay down sally
I think the talking in the beginning could have been done better. It's supposed to be more of a conversation, rather than singing. The rhymes make you want to sing it, but it's really better off being spoken like a conversation. That said, I came here to see fiddle playing.. And that was mighty fine. Very impressive.
Yeah if you wanna blow you fucking mind, put this at .75x speed. the instruments thunder, and the fucking vocals just contrast incredibly. do it, trust me. you're welcome
The devil went down to Georgia he was lookin' for a soul to steal He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind And he was willing to make a deal When he came across this young man Sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump And said, "boy let me tell you what I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you" "Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his due I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul I think I'm better than you" The boy said, "my name's Johnny And it might be a sin but I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret I'm the best that's ever been" Johnny you resin up your bow and play your fiddle hard 'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold But if you lose, the devil gets your soul The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show" And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow He dragged the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss The band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this When the devil finished johnny said "well you're pretty good, old son But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done" Fire on the mountain, run boys run The devil's in the house of the rising sun Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough Granny does your dog bite, no child no The devil bowed his head 'cause he knew that he'd been beat And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet Johnny said, "devil, just come on back if you ever want to try again I told you once, you son of a bitch I'm the best that's ever been" He played, fire on the mountain, run boys run The devil's in the house of the rising sun Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough Granny does your dog bite, no child no
all fun and games till you saw that fiddle in half
As someone once pointed out, in original, Johnny beats the devil, but in this one Johnny _destroys_ him
2:05 - 3:35 this dudes just like...I. AM. JOHNNY.
Are we just gonna ignore he basically played the guitar riff from “Layla” at one point in Johnnys solo
Literally was wondering why no one else was talking about that
DTS
Don't talk shit!
🖕🏻
fuck yeah and after Layla flawless riff off of and justice for all and I can't peg the other one or fade to black at its peak. brilliant
sorry for the insane asylum rant I had a point it's gone now.
pmsl

Johnnys part sounds weak until you learn how easy the devils part is to play. It doesn’t really require much precision.
@@calebbhawkins Plus the Devil feels the need to have a backing band for his part. Johnny does it all single handedly.
@@calebbhawkins the devil cheats and used an electric instrument

It's a crime that this doesn't have more views! The violin solo beginning at 2:04 was amazing! 🤩
This is the best I’ve seen. So many other videos I’ve seen, but people attempt to play this song and they don’t even come close to the original Charlie, but this young man is totally amazing.
That johnny solo was absolutely amazing, took my breath away!!

Thank you for reuploading this, I'm a huge fan of this cover and was so frustrated when i couldn't find it anymore!
Oh my god I just found a gem on RUclips I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a live performance other than Clapton more than this, bravo sir, bravo
I can practically see the smoke of hell comin off that there fiddle! Play it, son!
This is the tuffest cover ive ever seen like better than the original I was litterally jaw dropped like dang 😂
God, I love the medley Johnny does in this one.
The devil is setting the fiddle down, putting his hands up, and saying, “Okay, Johnny, I get it, you’ve made your point!” about halfway through the boy’s solo.
You CAN PLAY WOW! Thanks for sharing! Dave in WV!
The orchestra of Johnny's feature was pure genius
I can’t believe this doesn’t have millions of views... goose bumps sir you were amazing. I shake my head in awe of you.
Dude this is a good cover, I’m a huge music snob and I love the transformation of the violin into your own unique thing, I can not compare this song to Charlie Daniels because this song gives me something different, and great that I can enjoy. 10K views is a crime, you deserve much more.
This needs more recognition
Amazing skill here

no wonder the devil lost. a golden fiddle would probably sound like shit
It would be a metallic sound
El mejor que he visto
Thanks to whoever put on the subtitles “son of a bitch”
This is very good !!! Wow
this is amazing thank you
The beginning of Layla just sprinkled in there
incredible!
Awesome!! Thanks for uploading
First time Johnny actually beat the devil!!!
I don't like to brag but i was born in Oklahoma. That's what they tell me anyway, but I really don't remember. I think Charlie Daniels would approve. It came to me on the second listen. I really like how you gavea nod to Clapton's "Layla" , it stumped me the first listen
Awesome!!!
Wow a great cover better the the original...wow
Wooooow

Exelente video, además divertido :)

I guess we meet in Georgia, again! But this time, I play for your soul.
*A*.
This is the real fiddle player!!!! So surprised to listen to Layla's solo. This goes to my covers better than the original song list, next to Josh turner's lay down sally
Someone get that man a fire extinguisher
Me: "Wow, what a nice cover of Johnny's portion-"
2:20:

And that was mighty fine. Very impressive.

I didn't know Jake Peralta played the fiddle so well
Holy shit
Is that thing fire proof? Because that thing should be ablaze after that
surprised his bow didnt burst into flames
The devil went down to Georgia he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy let me tell you what I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you"
"Now you play pretty good fiddle, son but give the devil his due
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul I think I'm better than you"
The boy said, "my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin but I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret
I'm the best that's ever been"
Johnny you resin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
He dragged the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss
The band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this
When the devil finished johnny said "well you're pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done"
Fire on the mountain, run boys run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny does your dog bite, no child no
The devil bowed his head 'cause he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet
Johnny said, "devil, just come on back if you ever want to try again
I told you once, you son of a bitch I'm the best that's ever been"
He played, fire on the mountain, run boys run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny does your dog bite, no child no
2:43 layla?
what are the songs that Johnny sampled in his part?
Derek and the dominoes, layla
does anybody have sheet music for this?
this guy is Jhonny himself
when you watch the devil went down to georgia on 1.5x:
:o
:0
Damn Wicked mfs. Pure talent
Is this a speedrun???
Slow it down by 0.75, trust me.
You're gonna enjoy it more.
Where did he go after he lost the bet with John_E?
