The devil may have gone down to Georgia, but the best damn fiddle player ever is now in Heaven.

Normally people expect musicians to slow down as they get older, this man got hella faster

One thing on my bucket list was to see him in concert. I finally did & enjoyed his show. Embarased my kids. Sang every word to his songs. It was an awesome show

My sister got stood up by her date for this concert..so I got to go instead. My kid self, and an avid dislike of any country music..LOVED THE SHOW, got a fake felt cowboy hat, and raced around my neighborhood for months singing this at the top of my lungs! Every time I beat my Sister a checkers from this point in..my line was.."I told you once you son of a _____, I'm the best there's ever been!" I lost my sister a few years back to breast cancer..man, do I miss picking on her.lol! Still got my hat for Halloween, the country bar when linedancing, and my sisters concert t-shirt with the Charlie Daniel's devil with a fiddle on it today. 💕 💞 ♥ Jey sis..you never did go to see Metallica with me!

This is the most metal country song to ever be

Even a yankee like me can appreciate the vocal range, and fiddle playing that Charlie Daniels brought to us. So sad to hear of his passing. Thank you for bringing the music that will forever be in our hearts! RIP Charlie...💙💙🙏

Sad news today, Charlie Daniels passed away today. Rest In Peace Charlie, you were one of a kind and you will be missed

Wherever you are Charlie, may you be as happy as you made us happy with your fiddle and your music!

As a fiddle player, it's an honor just be alive in the same Era as this legend. RIP to the king himself, Charlie Daniels 🙏

I saw Charlie and the band in Iraq in 2009. They played outside during a sand storm and said they would keep playing until they ended their set or the sand ruined their equipment so they couldn’t play. They ended up finishing their set while we could barely see them due to the storm. After the show, the band stuck around until every service member got to shake their hands and get a pic. I will remember that day forever.

THIS song is part of what defines REAL country music!

R.i.h...charlie daniels....you are the best that ever was.

The devil's still in georgia but Charlie's in heaven. Thank you Jesus!

Charlie ain’t got nothing to worry about. He’s beaten the devil.

R.I.P. Uncle Charlie i will love and miss you always. I pray one day i am an awesome fiddle player just like you. Thank you for encouraging me i love you.

I was very lucky to have met this wonderful man backstage at one of his shows in gulf port, Mississippi a few years ago. I had an all access back stage pass. Mr. Daniels was one of the kindest musicians that I’ve ever met. I’ll never forget the kindness he and his band showed to me and my wife. They were all down to earth like true gentlemen. Thanks for all of your music. May you forever Rest In Peace ✌️. You are sorely missed. Much respect to a genuine southern man.

I would pay the money for a full concert just to see him play this song live.

There’s a reason I know he’s in heaven. Cause if he went to hell, the devil would lose again!

This song is perfection. Country, rock, rap, metal, classical…nearly every music genre in one masterpiece. I love this song.❤❤❤

Only God unfolds the rose....RIP our little bud💜🌹💜

I remember seeing him perform this live when I was young, probably around 2003 or 2004. He signed my violin and I remember him being the sweetest old man I'd ever met. Rip.

R.I.P. CHARLIE YOU TRULY WILL BE MISSED.

Rest in Peace, Sir. Beat back that Devil in God's Kingdom. A harp is no match for your fiddle. ❤

No one fiddles as good as this man

I was at this concert. It was at riverfront in Nashville. Rip Godfather.

REST IN PEACE MY CHARLIE, THEY NEED YOUR MUSIC IN HEAVEN ✨✨😪😪🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is and always will be my favorite Charlie Daniels song! RIP to a true Legend and We ALL miss your fiddle playing Charlie! 🤟🏻😀❤️

WOW, best SINGER- WRITER EVER! THANKS! John P.

RIP Charlie Daniels

The man this song was written about, Johnny Watts, was a family friend and one of the best fiddle players ever. He and Charlie both passed within a few months of each other. Miss both of them and their music.

There's just some songs, that when performed live, give you chills.

Hi! What A Great Song ! King of Fiddle Country !

A great song! And a great performer and patriot! Rest in Peace, Brother Charlie. Say hello to Glen and the others, and keep "playin' that fiddle, and playin' it hot!". We'll be seein' you. ---Old Matt

Fell in love with this when it hit the airwaves.

one of the greatest songs EVER written!! not to mention PERFORMED!!

Why does this version feel like he is playing at double speed this man is insane

Simplemente GENIAL. RIP Charlie

You beautiful musicians, thank you Mr. Daniels, thank you band. Your song was prophetic in the deepest sense. The devil did come down to Georgia looking to steal. He was in a bind, he was way behind, but we have music, and we have recounts. And recount we did. And again. And one more time. And you're gonna regret. And Fani said, let me show you how it's done.

So glad I got t see him and the CDB band play that with a storm coming in the background, it was the fastest they ever played it and got us all out before the storm hit at the family reunion concert back in the day. The devil will never win against Johnny!

Love You Charlie!! God Bless!

Would’ve loved to have seen Charlie and Van Halen team up for this song. Thank you Charlie for all the great music!

Charlie is sorely missed for his music, his commentary and his example of just what a professional entertainer and great American is. Recently had the pleasure of having a hat made for me by Fred Schafer, Charlie's hatmaker out of Noble, Oklahoma. Charlie knew how to pick 'em.

He is now keeping the devil at bay for all eternity, RIP Charlie Daniels, you show that devil how it’s done!!!

I saw him with my Dad at The Cheyenne Saloon on Church Street in Orlando. Great time! Great memory!

Charlie has nothing to worry about after death. He's already got the devil's fiddle. He won't ever bother Charlie.

Love Charlie and great performance. I know they get tired of playing them the same after decades, but never have been a fan of any band who speeds up the songs. It just feels like they are trying to get through it as fast as possible because they are sick of playing it but still a great performance

Why do people hate this kind of music? Espacially in my age! I LOVE music like this

Love this classic from the late great Charlie Daniels and his band

This is MUSIC. One of the best songs ever composed

Some country tunes just stay in your mind for ever....and yes, this is one of those....thank you Charlie, R. I. P.

This man can flat ass saw that fiddle!! No one will ever replace him!!!

R.I.P the king of the fiddle charlie Daniels was a legend

Pure talent!! Much love and respect ✊🏾 from California!!

After not listening to this song for about 10 years, it came back to me and I knew almost the entirety of the song.

I'm not talkin' violin, I'm talkin' fiddle, and for Charlie to be able to duplicate those complicated notes and the album sound so well on stage, well, it's truly a privilege to be able to see a legend "sawin' on the fiddle and playin' it hot" like that. RIP Mr. Daniels. The world was a better place with you in it.

Praise the Lord I was blessed to see you 10 years ago. Ill always love you Charlie 👑🔥💜🔥👑

RIP to Charlie Daniels! He was and always will be a legend in country music

I'm nearly 63, and still rockin', but nobody rocks harder than Charlie...

The clarity of his words is INCREDIBLE let alone is miraculous ability to play the fiddle. GOD THANKS for giving him to us for as long as you did. I never saw him before this. Now I hope when I pass on to be able to see him there WOW!

Can't tell you how many times I saw them do this. In Arizona.

No doubt one of the best musicians of all time!

That was a great show. He did this song twice. Played just after the fireworks show. Many don't know this CDB also does shows for fund raisers for surrounding counties to help specific causes for local citizens in and around Davidson county. When I retire I'm going to learn a little on how to play the fiddle. One of his PSA on how he learned at 30.

Thank You God for letting the World know Charlie Daniels... he will be missed but his music lives on..

I looked this video up because we listen to the song, but I wanted my son to actually *see* Charlie Daniels ripping’ it up on that fiddle! I was a little girl when I first heard this song courtesy of my Daddy, who was a long-haul trucker who came to have a great appreciation for country music. He would always say, “No matter where you are in the US, one thing you’ll always be able to find is a country music station”. Charlie Daniels passed away the year before before my Daddy did. I miss my Dad every day. 🙏🏽

How would anyone give this awesome song a thumbs down?

Charlie Daniels is my favorite rapper.

This is the epitome of what this songs should be

Rest In Peace ol boy!!! These good ol boys down in Georgia gone miss you forever!! I'll never forget the first time I heard this as a kid at Stone Mountain!! God Bless!

Even a yankee like me loves this song and appreciates the great talent here..

Never get tired of that song

The CDB is amazing w a voice that knocks your socks off❤

No one can keep their foot still and listen to this song at the same time.

Cuando el diablo bajo a Georgia, exelente canción.. saludos cordiales desde México

Wow... Best version I've ever heard. That half beat faster makes a difference

When I was around 6 years old, my step dad ( the only man that stepped up as a dad to me 💗) He married my mom & eventually had my sister. He was childhood friends with Charlie Daniels. I was so lil' at that time I didn't realize what an an amazing man my step dad always took me to see play ect. I knew him just as " Uncle Charlie" I still have alot of pictures of me around about 6 or 7 years old, sitting on who I knew as my Uncle Charlie's lap! We would dance and have a great time! He was an amazing man and now I am 47 years young, & And can't express how deeply I am grateful and NEVER FORGET THE BLESSINGS I WAS GIVEN! THANKS DAD, LOVE YOU!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

....... No words can describe this song. Incredible, amazing, awe-inspiring!

Looks like the devil is mustering his troops in Georgia. Who’s gonna fill Charlie shoes?

God to Johnny after he heard him play: "Johnny.....if you're gonna jam out like that again if he asks for a rematch, it's gonna be a sin NOT to take that bet!!"

Wow, I love this song .

The greatest fiddler player of all time. Love him got to take my dad and mom to see him in concert they enjoyed it so much and he was such a sweet man to meet in person.

💔😔 U will be missed!

RIP and thank you, Charlie Daniels...a big Man with a mean fiddle.

RIP, sir!😭💔 loved your music!

me encanta la musica country saludos desde Argentina

Charlie, you are missed, but DON'T rest in peace: keep on fiddlin', you were unique and you're making heaven a better place (even though you're singing about the devil...+_+)

I LOVE CDB. I was born and raised in Tn. and Charlie Daniels is as good as it gets. A good old boy from head to toe.

Legendary.. Iconic.. Our beloved Charlie passed away today.. RIP 💕🙏⚘ 7-06-20. San Francisco, California.

WOW...Just... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE THIS SONG ALWAYS

Most beautiful eyes I've ever seen... 🤷‍♀️🥰 I Had almost forgotten...

Great song 🎵

me gusta esta banda tocan muy bien la musica country

Everyone’s gangsta until Johnny kicks Satan’s ass in a fiddle fight!

Suuuuper awesome track, a true Devil of a fidler indeed

He put on a great show

When I was in the Army, as a squad leader, I would sing this song......but I would change the lyrics to "The First Sergeant went to the Barracks!" My troops loved it!

Lovely song and wonderful musical performance !

Thank You!!

"The devil went down to Georgia, but he didn't stick around. Why? Cuz this is god's country." love both of these songs.

This song never fails to make me rap my feet
