Aye!

Boom

He's telling the story

B U R N!

Omg I love it!!! Best comment EVER!! EVER EVER EVER!!!

@Vincent Nix -- Jamel is great, I love him and JayVeeTV. These young'uns finding "our" music is pure gold!!

I watch this guy every night after work to listen to good music and laugh.

That was me last night!

I’ve dedicated some whole nights during my Coronacation from work to watching his reaction videos!! LOL

He's addictive, isn't he?

you tell'em!

those words should be every day comments to the devil...We should talk to that punk Satan like that all the time

Guess that's privilege to all .

Dane Bono - your comment gave me a visual. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

back in the day when they played this on the radio they played a version that said "son of a gun" instead of bitch.

That scene in Urban Cowboy where they did it live 🔥🔥🔥

1978 not 1979 !

My daughter’s fav song and she’s 6

Agreed!!!

RIP

Thank you!

Wow @JohnVincent that is so awesome! Glad you came back safely, love from Oz🇦🇺

Thank you Sir, for your Service! ...And thank you for sharing this awesome story with us!!! ...a good man, Charlie.

Lucky bastard, Thanks buddy I was on a army boat in Kuwait in August 05 to 06

Thank you for your service. Lucky you that had to be an incredible show.

The devil told Tenacious D there's never been a rock-off that he's ever lost and I'm like "are we just forgetting Georgia?"

@@SimuLord Maybe he counts it as a "fiddle-off" 😆

I would pay good money for a full-on hip-hop cover of this song. Like how Run-DMC covered Aerosmith's "Walk This Way".

@@erraticonteuse it was more a collaboration than a cover. Run-DMC had never even heard of the song Walk This Way. Aerosmith was trying to find their way back to success from a turn down in popularity mostly due to drug use. You don't have two of your band mates nicknamed the toxic twins for nothing. It was a huge success for Aerosmith. I'm not sure if Run-DMC had any additional success due to their collaboration.

@@erraticonteuse Personally I'd love to see a more jazz inspired version where the Devil Came Up To Harlem. Slow down the tempo a bit, break out the big band brass, tap into a little Cab Calloway and let it swing. :)

High key man. I don't think MGK was going after Eminem's soul.

Same

have you heard "uneasy rider"?

I've always called his song Uneasy Rider the world's first country rap song. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor.

Dr. Dre said himself that Charlie Daniels was one of the first rappers

Rapping goes way back and that's obviously what Daniels is doing.

@@spsdrummer exactly!

That son of a bitch finally got his revenge on Charlie

He is a country legend and will be missed

@politically incorrect "I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been". That's the line that Johnny (Charlie) says to the devil. Smoked Salmon was simply referring to that.

The devil is hiding his golden fiddles.

Now not even a golden fiddle will sate Johnny's quest to show that son of a bitch who's the best that's ever been.

Me 2 Craig😀😀Hell I love the whole record 😀

💯

I realized that is what is good about reaction videos. You cant have a first time twice, but watching someone else is the next best thing.

Remember when the radio version changed the b word to son of a gun? They wouldn't let that word on the air, you had to buy the record to hear the original version. 😂

I remember! I was 12 when this came out, and I love it!!

I was 4 years old. I'm a '75 model! Charlie, Hank Jr., DAC, Merle Haggard, Waylon, and Willie played through my house amongst many different genres of awesome music! Thank you for the info! 1979!

Your a hero my guy.

The year I was born! I came in with a bang it seems :)

I did mention it earlier...no biggie

100%. I would LOVE to hear a real rap version of this!!

No shit huh!! I would have never thought of that way but he's absolutely right!!

Omg he's right!!! Lol!

Like johnny cash singing boy named sue

Think of KMC Kru the devil came up to michigan.

Vince Gill playing a mean lead guitar or Garth Brooks putting on a hell of a show that had everyone going nuts I seen both live just amazing and I;m mostly a metal or rock fan, Charlie was incredible.

You're a lucky guy to have seen them! So many of the good ones are gone now but gone or not, there are icons in country that can't be out done!

Daniels' music, including this song, got played on album oriented rock stations. Most of his hits were more Southern rock, less country.

I think modern, stadium country is what give country a bad wrap. Country no longer has a story or a soul. Current country is just southern pop.

@@CherryBlossom3x3 I would agree with that assessment.

I have nothing bad to say about his music, but living in the same town as Charlie, in his later years, this guy was a major P.O.S. He wasn't a "good christian man". He was filled with racist vitriol and hate.

@@lougiacobbi725 the word racist is so Loosely throwin around these days…instead of claiming a man is racist give us some Examples of what makes Charlie a racist..I can say I live in the same town as you and claim your a p e d o or a racist or a thief but just cause I said or think it doesn’t make it true…so what makes Charlie a “racist” ?? Don’t give me the tweet about college kids and don’t give me the typical he has a different political opinion than me so that makes him racist or the he is old white and country so that makes him racist ..If you’re going to try to label and Smear a guy as a racist give some examples and some facts about what makes him a racist..if you can’t or you don’t have facts and proof of his racism you probably shouldn’t be calling him a racist then

I'm neither southern nor a country fan, but I love this song.

Yup

I'm from California, I can't stand country music (and I'm from Bakersfield, home of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, so... I tried). I dig the hell out of this song tho.

I am a metal head to my core and I love this song.

no southerners dislike country music

He is so cool

my grandma did the same thing 😂

It's funny how rap and country are so similar. Lyrically; both can be brutality real and cut very deep. Something rock and jazz never could do as well.

Before that there was the Irish bard.

@@danbardos3498 you havent listened to much rock/metal then if you dont think rock isnt deep or can brutal in reality

tha Dude - gospel was mainly derived from the Celtic church choirs of Wales. Blue Grass (mountain music) is derived from Irish, Scandinavian and Germanic folk and hymns. Mississippi delta blues is derived from Bluegrass and gospel. A misconception is that delta blues is Black music and Bluegrass is only White is due to record executives from NY in the 1920s travelling south to discover true American culture. They found that both Black and White musicians played Blues, Bluegrass and hybrids of both but the executives wanted to divide what Black and White musicians play because it’s better for marketing.

@@garrettmckinney7565 I didn't say they didn't, overall tho they don't. Look at all the top hits of the genres going back to the 40s. There's a clear difference.

I know, right?

Only the best RAP SONG EVER!

Isnt this great seeing people watch these. Like takes me back too.

Sure does. My brother was a big fan of CDB

people living less than 10miles from the coast have never seen the ocean, if you set boundaries in your mind you will never know what you are missing.

It's called Southern Rock. Think Allman Brothers, Little Feat, etc.

jabeck42 and they’re both g.o.a.t.s.

Yeah, but he called the Devil a son-of-a-bitch, and the Devil is the child of God, so he blasphemed.

Who is Johnny?

Lol

@@tipperary1082 whispers: *me lol!

Right! I have heard this song thousands of times and I still got goosebumps listening to this. And can we give props to the band? They are amazing. Not everybody sounds good live, but they are amazing.

❤️ true story

@@marjoriesdaughter73 Now that's a real band playing real music! Not like today where everything is auto-tuned! Love that song and I love that band! Charlie Daniels wherever you are thank you!

@@gingerspain423 Absolutely.

Yeah the am radio version when this was played a lot had “ son of a gun”

I was 8 in 79. How times flies. Charlie will always be a top favorite of mine :)

i grew up listen to this band i was born 4 years after it came out. music of yesteryear just hit better than most of the codswallop they put out these days

@@helema23 Nice. Yes - I must agree music today is a much different animal then music of the past. I like the older music better , but can enjoy today's music for what it is. Before Randy Travis came on the scene , John Denver had been my favorite male country artist. As for groups ; Alabama has been and will continue to be my favorite group. I do like all groups though. At the time I first started listening to Alabama the Oak Ridge Boys was another group that I listened to a lot.

70's was the best decade

1 of my favorite CDB songs.

"If y'ever go back in the Wooley swamp, well, y'better NOT go at night! There's things down there, in the middle of them woods that'd make a strong man die of fright! There's things that crawl, 'n' things that fly, 'n' things that creep around on the ground And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay gets up and he walks around..." 😛😜🤘

Yep the ole Woolley swap, what it is Charlie knows theirs places like that had plenty of places here in these back woods of the south.

Haven't heard that in years. Will play it later!

RIP 😔 🙏

Sorry to hear of his passing this week 😢😭

I've got to meet Charlie three or four times. He is absolutely amazing. Every time I've met him he put his arm around me and pulled me in for a hug. The picture we took together looks like we've known each other forever. He is a good man.

@@amypoole5439 I'm sure he's very nice to certain types of white people.

@@moonlily1 Ain't room for that here, WhiteRockOrbitingEarthWhiteFlower1 Have an awesome day! 💖

Unmolested? Lmao can't stop laughing at that!!! 🤭😂

Exactly!

laura kali yes he was HUGE back then!!! Sold out concerts all over the place!!💚💚

I just saw him along with Travis Tritt... Charlie Daniels still sounded amazing!!!

I saw him last year lol

I honestly still have never heard the Son of a Bitch version on the radio. I only found out about the original lyric a few years ago and it blew my mind.

remember how we're not allowed to hear the word btch but we can watch people shoot each other and splash blood all over the fkn place all day long

I remember....😂😂

I remember back in the early 90s,a new local country radio station played this version by mistake.The dj immediately apologized to everyone listening,and apologized about 20 more times that night.Now look what we listen to today.

I heard that he became a strong christian later in life and that's why the son of a gun version happened. anyone know if it's one or the other or both?

LOL!!!!!! Excellent! :D

Hahaha!!!

Lmao 😂 great joke

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Holy shit I actually laughed out loud sooo loud!

Probably only other artist to play for a longer time without stopping is Garth Brooks. When I went to A Garth Brooks concert for the first time - I was blown away and so joyful I got to go to his concert. It was worth every bit of the $200 per ticket that I paid to go :)

if you get the chance to read his book do it

Gods don't stay on earth long

He's immortalized by his fans.

And Free Bird

This is bluegrass. Not country

The Muppet Show gave me a lot of music that was not on the radio here in Norway.

Sweet home Alabama and Free Bird are NOT country. it's Southern Rock, although Charlie Daniels maybe country

@@creepyaxe Who gives a shit it is fine music any way you puts it.

Lol nice

That’s why I like watching also. ❤

And hiss.

That's what I said. :D

Who said you're not supposed to like this kind of music? Tell whosoever to kick rocks! I'm Jamaican and I've slays listened to everything from classical to rocknroll, and everything in between! I think that's one of the reasons Jamaicans are so musically creative because we hear and listen to music from all over the world as it helps expands our musical ears.

Blessed Mom Thank goodness you had your own mind.

This Latina also is not a big country fan but old school country now that's a different story...Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers & this song was & still is the shit

Same here lmaoo. I'm born and raised south central Mexican but his shit gave me the same feeling🤣

At the time it was released, around 1979, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" was a huge crossover hit which played on Urban, Country, Pop, Gospel. Maybe Latin, but I don't know, since we didn't have a local Latin music station, until a few years later?

Yes!! I've seen him in concert 3 times now and got to meet him the 2nd time. He held my daughter who was just over a year at the time. She was playing with his hat. He was so great with her! 🥰

i was at a NASCAR race several years ago and his rendition of the National Anthem was the best and most moving I have ever heard.

Yes he is!

He really is. Very down-to-earth and and real.

I have heard great things about Charlie Daniels

My thoughts exactly. This almost isn't country

I always considered the Charlie Daniels Band to be a fusion of rock and country.

@@robertfitterman3777 That was called Southern Rock in the 70's thanks to CDB, Skynyrd, Allman, and others

@@bigmike2464 Don't forget Marshall Tucker Band , and The Outlaws.

Francis Wilson-Yep,I'm not really a big fan of Country music either,but Charlie Daniels was able to appeal to so many folks because he had such an amazing style!His music has so many different genres fused together,and his songs have a fantastic flow to them.😊

Dee Kim it so neat to dance to. Exhausting but completely easy to understand. My high school’s football coach taught dance and did the calling. It was something to experience let me tell you. What a hoot!

Love it!

I have a friend who does sign language translation in DC. She was given a list of songs to translate with another translator, and she didn't know the lyrics and how much lyrical content the song has. She handed the song off to the other translator when she saw how much lyrical content there was to translate...

@@lextual large amount of lyrical content is a challenge for any interpreter. But American Sign Language lends itself to shortened interpretation if the interpreter is any good.

I'm from rural east TN, pretty much everyone here grew up playing bluegrass and country, and most of us are descended in some way from Ulster and Irish settlers who came here a few decades before the potato famine and settled this region. You can really hear it in the older generation. My great grandmother was in her 90's when she passed away recently, and she had a lilting twang to the way she spoke that is pretty much gone now in the younger generation. Even in her children it was less pronounced. But the music is a direct link

Yes ! The south has so much Irish roots.

Amen brother those are my roots Irish and Scottish

@@alvinwine5665 Yeah, my grandparents were from Scotland. I am very appreciative of my heritage.
