Groovin on this is in 1978.............where were you boys then?

A violin has strings, a fiddle has STRAAAANGS.

Charlie Daniels was the best fiddle player EVER!

My dad knew Charlie for 45 years when they got back from Vietnam. grew up backstage at most of these shows. A true man of the people, RIP Big Daddy 🤘🏻🔥🍻

You just watched once of the finest fiddle ( or violin ) players who ever lived. Once Charlie was appearing on a show. In the green room before the show, a classical violinist commented that anyone could play fiddle but not everyone could play classical. Charlie without a word opened his case, took out his fiddle and played a difficult classical piece to perfection. The violin player had nothing else to say.

Hip-hop/rap didn't exist when Charlie Daniels made this song. He was modeling this song's style more on "talking blues".

It's always fun to watch people learn to overcome their music stereotypes and appreciate other musical styles.

I always say..."The only difference between a violin and a fiddle is who's playing it." This song is a southern anthem... through and through.

I'm almost 80 and my great grandmother drove a railroad spike into my great uncles fiddle he had brought home saying it was the Devil's Instrument. That fiddle 125 years later was found to be a million dollar Stradivarius. My brother still has it intact with the spike. Great reaction young men.

Love how Black Pegasus is just jamming in the back 🤣🤣 great song 🎵

This is one of those songs that crosses all barriers, and you can't just pass it by.

I love that reaction! Back in the time of this song my mom used to say, "y'all young people think you're doing something new, that's never been done before," then laugh. She was right.

Doesn't matter if it has strings or strangs, Charlie can make that instrument stand up and dance.

The way Charlie Daniel’s wrote this song is incredible. He told you a story and you could actually see it playing out in your head.

In the radio version he said ‘Son of a Gun’. We knew it meant the same thing, the inflection was the same when we sang it out loud. Thems fighin’ words. Everybody wanted to kick the devil’s ass.

My daughter's youth orchestra conductor actually explained the real difference between a violin and fiddle. A violin has a very curved bridge, to separate the strings so that you only play one at a time. A fiddle is a violin that has had the bridge filed to flatten it a bit, so that you can play more than one string at a time. It gives it that twangy harmony.

It was their new “sangle”. Charlie was a stellar human being. RIP. .

I have been to 3 of Charlie Daniels concerts. He was a Hell of an entertainer. RIP Charlie

Violin has strings. Fiddle has strangs...is the saying..love the vibe to this. I'm dying

This song never gets old. Still hits as it did back then

I never met Charlie Daniels, but I talked to him several times on the phone, and a nicer gentleman I never held a conversation with. Back more than twenty years ago, I co-managed a Southern Rock band (former members of Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet & Blackfoot) and Charlie Daniels called up a couple times to arrange a cross sale for merch (he sent us a bunch of his new CDs & shirts to sell, and we sent him a bunch of ours) After we got all the business straightened out, I got to tell him how much I liked this song (me, an OG punk rocker, ork ork) He was very humble about it and thanked me for telling him that. I'm sure he heard it all the time, but he made me feel like he really did appreciate it. That's my Charlie Daniels experience.

This tune got a lot of air play on rock stations here in Michigan, and helped Charlie Daniels reach a much wider audience. We never listened to Country music, but we all listened to Charlie Daniels! You just never know what you're going to like until you give it a chance. 🎶

Saw them in concert in the 70’s when I was a kid. This song is classic. Legend of Woolley Swamp, Long Haired Country Boy, In America, the list could go on and on.

73 yr old here… enjoying you hearing my music for the first time 😊

It's always so much fun to see someone react to Charlie Daniels for the first time! Yes, I'm one who remembers hearing both versions on the radio: SOB and son of a gun! We always hoped to hear the sob one, but most of the time, it was son of a gun. People who turn their noses up about country music really don't understand the variety there is, nor understand the talents of many country musicians. Thanks BP for introducing Anthony to the late great Charlie Daniels, RIP.

Greatest thing back then was NO CELL PHONES! Just a ton of people engaging together to fantastic music!🥰♥️

I don't think I've played this for ANYONE: no matter WHAT their "standard" genre is, that said: "Wow - that was awful!!!" THEY'VE ALL LOVED IT!!!

Old horror movies often use an instrument called a theremin to create an eerie sound, but it is entirely possible the particular sound to which you refer was a violin, as the higher notes on a violin are often used to create discomfort in the viewing audience. A theremin sounds vaguely familiar to a violin, but a theremin is not at all stringed. It is a fascinating instrument. I saw the Charlie Daniels Band in the 90s while in high school. They did a concert for a fundraiser for the fire department in my county. The fire department almost had to evacuate the building that night because Charlie nearly brought the roof down when he played this song -- and in his 60s!

I was an R&B/rap kid that grew up in NYC and never heard this until I transferred to the University of Georgia and was introduced to this and LOVED IT from day 1!!!! Amazing song!!!!!

This a CLASSIC for sure!!! RIP Charlie Daniels

When I was growing up in the 90s this song was on mainstream radio. So it wasn't just country fans. Everybody loved it.

I once ask a trained musician what the difference is between a violin and a fiddle and he said, without elaboration, it is simply the difference in how you hold the instrument.

Charlie still gives me chills....Absolute legend!

The main difference between a violin & fiddle is the height of the bridge on the instrument. ;-) ❤ love that u enjoyed it so much! Yall crack me up ;-)

I love how opened minded you both are to different genres of music. Thoughtful reaction. Great job!!

I was a young adult, 20 years old when this came out…it is such a huge part of my youth that it kinda always surprises me that young guys like you two adorable guys have never heard of it. The classic rock stations still play this on quite a regular basis. CDB crossed over from country to rock to easy listening, and are still very popular. Thanks for bringing up a bunch of great memories!

I loved how attentive you were to the words and what and how Charlie was performing. I saw Black Pegasus's reaction when it came out, and so glad you got to see this, too!

At about 655 did ya'll see the keyboardist playing with one hand, the other was in a sling.....country boys will survive, and keep playing!!❤💡🌎✌️🖖🇺🇸

Love this.....Charlie Daniels was my first concert back in Virginia Beach in 1979~which was the year this song was released,not 73. Crowd was WILD~!!

Cute little side note: at Stone Mountain in GA, they do a laser show that uses this song in it and it is fire. Crowds get amped up good.😅😅

A band that did this song as a cover had thier base player get sick and they asked my dad if he could learn this song. He heard it once and played it back exactly. The band fired thier base player and hired my dad. Love this song!

I'm from South Georgia about 3 hours from where Black Pegasus' s wife is from LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂 Bless his heart, I can't believe he had no idea who Charlie Daniels was LOL Yalls reaction was hilarious 😂😂😂 Yall come back now ya hear❤❤❤❤❤❤

These are actually professional musicians. Practiced,skilled and talented. Let's not confuse that fact...

A violin has strings and fiddle has strannnnngss! Lol Charlie was so iconic and could fill stadiums back in the day. Great reaction guys!

I learned violin as a child in school. In my 20's a friend of mine who played got me one at a discount. He's fantastic, he's from Louisiana, a brilliant player. So I asked him, "It's been years since I've played, I don't remember much, now I've got a violin again, will you teach me?" He said, "I can't teach you to play the violin, I can teach you to play the fiddle." I think it's in the style more than the instrument.

Loved it fellas, can’t beat a bit of good ole toe tapping!! Good on you for opening up to something older & in such a different realm than your lane 👏👏👏

I was in high school when this song came out. Brings back some cool memories. Great reaction! Thanks!

Now i want soneone to do a battle rap style version of this song. I grew up on 'outlaw' country and listening to my mom's 1960 protest albums. My older sister Vanessa was the rocker and introduced me to that. I appreciate as an adult having such a variety of mysic that i was exposed to. Its made my taste in music varied and eclectic

Guy with the broken arm... It shows how dedicated these artists are to their craft... One preformer, a heavy metal guy, took a bullet in performance, and instead of getting help... He kept going u til the shows over!! Another performer was bleeding all over cause he was hit in the face... There are hardcore artists... Not like modern divas who quit the show cause they didn't like something inconvenience.

The other saying about the difference between a violin and a fiddle is, "A Violin sings and a Fiddle dances". 😁 For a lot of people, this was their introduction to country music. For some it became a life long love, for others, not so much... one thing is guaranteed though, put this on and the dance floor will fill up very quickly...😊 🙃🐨🇦🇺

In the old horror movies you were probably hearing a strange instrument called the theremin, arguably the first electronic musical instrument to be mass produced, invented in the 1920s in Russia and played by moving your hands close to it without touching it. It was used in a number of horror movies and sci fi space alien movies, as well as Hitchcock's Spellbound, and in the Beach Boys' song Good Vibrations you can hear a variant of it called the Electro Theremin

OMG! finding anyone who hasn't heard Charlie Daniels is the best reaction!! Love all you do and share Black Pegasus!❤

‘Chicken in the bread pan, pecking at the dough’ is such a great lyric. RIP Charlie Daniels, a great American.

After this version Charlie Daniel’s got saved and became a born again Christian and never cussed again he would say you son of a gun.

Everyone who was alive in the 1980's knows this song because the John Travolta classic movie "Urban Cowboy," featured the Charlie Daniels band playin' this song in the bar at the center of the movie.

7:40, late response, but yes the "scare Cord" as it's called, came from just pulling the bow across a Violin.

I love how you reacted to this first time, and how much joy you had in showing someone else this song - and that he enjoyed it too.

I have loved this song since the movie Urban Cowboy. This is a classic. RIP Charlie Daniels. 💔🙏🏻🕯️

I liked the "What are you making me listen to?" face Anthony made at the beginning before the vocals kicked in.

Hey Anthony Ray & Black Pegasus, Great reaction! lol I remember when this song came out and cursing in music was most definitely "taboo" during these times. (Well at least it was on the radio) So, I believe I was 15 yrs. old, and my friends and I would sing along with this song and when the lyrics came to the curse word, we would all sing even louder with Big Cheesy grins on our faces🤣 Such fond memories, but also a bit sad, because one of my childhood friends from this time, when he turned 17 yrs. old signed up to go fight in Vietnam and never came home. RIP: Chris 💔U R Missed Here's another song by the Charlie Daniels Band, if interested. "Charlie Daniels Band - Orange Blossom Special (Live)" (by the channel: Charlie Daniels) --Charlie Edward Daniels was an American singer, musician and songwriter. His music infused rock, country, blues and jazz and was one of the leading bands to pioneer southern rock. The band released a total of 30 studio albums, 8 live albums, and 4 compilation albums. This song I've suggested is from their fifth studio album called "Fire on the Mountain" and released in 1974 and went certified Platinum. I enjoyed jamming with you two fellas, thanks for sharing.🎶

Absolutely love watching you both react. Y'all really pay attention to everything and give great commentary. Im glad I grew up when i did. People actually had talent. No auto tune or any of thst BS that goes on today. Thanks for keeping it real. Id still love to see you react to Grand Funk Railroad - Inside Looking Out. 3 very talented individuals. ✌❤🤘

The "sonofabitch" line ties the perfect bow ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I was cracking up at the end story of your wife. Same here! My mom was laughing that I could sing this with them as a little kid and didn't even flinch when I said the SOB line. I was expecting her to do so. Lol😅 the song still slaps and it's 50 yrs old . 😊

What a joy watching you guys enjoy this song together. Cant wait to see the two of you reacting to more of charlie Daniels. Try " A Simple Man"

This was so entertaining! Love CDB saw them in the late 70’s as a teenager! They are legendary! So glad to see y’all enjoying them! ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

my one performance in a band, 33 years ago, was when a friend recruited me to play lead guitar in a college country western band. never played lead, never listened to 'kuntry' either 😂. but spent 5 weeks learning about 14 songs from George Strait, Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson etc. the group also brought in a young girl who was classical violinist who was great at picking up the fiddle playing. She asked if we could do Devil Went Down To Georgia to close our show and she did fantastic! I was told that I had done very well too. Very fun time.

I love the chemistry between you two. The fact that Anthony just starts beatboxing to BP's random bursting into song...instantly iconic.

this is my first time sitting in with you! Hi Black Pegasus! I've sat in with you many times. Thank you for allowing me to sit in with you! I enjoyed the time I spent here with you so while I was here I subscribed and left a like for you!

Its so good to see this again, Charlie Daniels is a great Country artist. AR is the only person I know if you want to know, because you don't know!!, look it up...fiddle and violin difference? BOOM! Awesome reaction guys...Peace🤙☝️😌

Charlie Daniels Band, what a group, they have a long list of great songs!

RIP Charlie Daniel's, he is the best. I seen him in concert, totally awesome.. He sounds the same live and video

You want to hear some more awesome bars, listen to CDB sing Wooly Swamp, studio version so you can catch all the bars ☺️

I saw the Charlie Daniels Band in concert a few times. Always a good show and I remember only having to pay $8 for the ticket. So worth it.. Loved growing up in the 70's. Best Rock Ever!!!

My favorite reaction channels are those when young rappers like yourselves discover the awesome music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I hope you do more of it. Great reaction.

My first time watching y’all. First thing I thought? Y’all are so cool looking 👩🏻‍🏫😍‼️ I’ve been knowing this song ever since it came out, and I’m from western New York (live in Alabama now & Tupelo, Mississippi before that). It’s a great song!!! I didn’t get into Country Music until I was about 18 (1971). Listened to & watched mostly Elvis, Rock and R&B.

Charlie Daniels would from time to time shread the strings on his Fiddle! AMAZING!!!

There is a "Devil Comes Back to Georgia " with Mark O'Connor, this singer Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash and a few others . Definitely worth a watch.

I was 10 years old when I first heard this on the radio. 1980. Years later I got to see the band perform this live. It was fantastic.

Love seeing you both together. I sub to both of you! Most unbelievable and pleasant surprise!

I love your reactions and comments to Charlie Daniels band "The Devil went down to Georgia"❤❤❤❤

A violin has strings - A fiddle has STRANGS

I love you guy's ability to open your heart and soul and embace the diversity found in all types of music. Myself? I thought I hated country, but I decided to give it a chance and listened to the storytelling. I feel my horizons have expanded exponentially.

Graduated from High School in 1974 I'm 69 in Nov. Great Music . My yrs. 👌✌️💞💗🇺🇸✨🙏✨💯

If y’all like this, you should check out ( actually a lot of Charlie Daniels songs) but “Midnight Train “. He spits bars, sangs and does storytelling at the same time. It’s like you’re watching a movie in your mind!

Always love when someone gets introduced to the great one awesome reaction guys!!!!

Anthony looked lost at first! LOL! Great reaction guys! Love when you two team up!

Enjoying watching you two. If I subscribed, I’d never discover new listeners. I grew up in this time capsule.

A violin has strings. A fiddle has straaangs!

Pure Southern Rock.

You have to play more Charlie Daniel's band songs... I love the stories!

I just watched your initial reaction and LOVE how you are now sharing with all of your friends!❤

I must say my favorite part was when you was really into this song Anthony & BP was feeling the heights of this song & he reached out & grabs you & you are jumping startled teehee I'm sorry but I was rollin😂. Y'all had a blast from the past & this one really got BP going on his 1st debut too. Now this is a classic as I've heard it throughout my entire lifetime as I'm close to the age of Eminem. I f you can hear it a lot of the music I think is based on times of Irish or Scottish sounding music maybe it's the fiddle because it's prominent but I know many settlers in the south especially this are where from those places as my mom's last name was pure Irish🍀

My dad took our family of 10 to this concert in our town’s high school gym when we were kids. It was a great concert

The instrument that gets played in horror movies you're thinking of is called a theremin, it's this funky electronic wave making machine you play by waving your hands in the air.

I love that you were so happy to share something cool with your buddy as was BP. ❤❤

Devil went down to Georgia is one of my all time favorite songs!

Love it when the two of you tag team the reactions!!

There’s so much more than rap, dude. You need to go down 10,000 rabbit holes.

The old, quintessential scary movie sound / instrument I believe you were thinking of is the theremin. As far as strings, Bernard Hermann's score for the movie "Psycho" was entirely strings (and horrifying as heck).

You two are great together that was serious fun😂
