You know they didn't write this right? It's an old folk song and this is like the 10th metal version that's been done of it. Not saying it's a bad cover, just that it's not very original
I think that the song got more heavier but more calm, its the speed perhaps. It feels kinda too calm in my opinion. But the lyrics changes are good indeed
I AM A PROUD NICKELBACK SUPER FAN, AND I AM NOT ASHAMED! They’re first two albums slap, they’re most recent album fucking SLAPS, and this cover is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve always been a Nickelback fan, it was my childhood. Hearing rockstars or bullet just brings back so many memories from fishing in the sea, screaming Fish on, the fight to get that fish to the surface. Nickelback will always be one of those bands I will love for the memories it gives me
Nickelback's heavier stuff is pretty dope, they're just known for the gei pop songs that made the charts. Their most recent album (Feed the Machine, 2017) is one of my favourite albums, and the title track, plus "Coin for the Ferryman" and "Must Be Nice" are proper good tracks. It doesn't surprise me that they covered this actually, cos the bassist said he wanted to go in a more heavy metal direction, or wanting to do an album of Slayer covers.
If Nickelback sounded like this, I’d actually listen to them. This was pretty good. Edit: Ive actually started to like them. They actually are kinda good unlike what most people think. They actually slap.
@@Eddie2P cod is just an arcade shooter which is fine if you're having fun but the problem is that fans actually think they're good at FPS when the game has aim assist and purposely inflates your stats so players think they're doing well.
Honestly, this cover was pretty sweet! To be fair, their cover of We Will Rock You was quite spot on, but this cover with the lyric changes makes it a whole lot more cooler than the original! I don't know what else to say, so to anyone reading this, have a good day!
I dunno, it makes sense since the Devil and Johnny are having a contest to see whose best at guitar/fiddle and not singing, the chorus is a bit unnecessary. Also I have no idea how they could alter the more country sounding lyrics like the "chicken in a bread pan" part to fit the more rock centered theme of their cover.
I have a higher opinion of Nickelback than most, but this still caught me a bit by surprise. I didn't even know that they'd done a cover of this until guitarheroROXS AKA aWiseMoose accidentally trolled us by doing this on RB4 but failing initially to clarify that it was the Nickelback version or that it was on RB4.
Everybody gangsta until Nickelback covers a song in metal. This ain't even the first time they sounded like this. What peaked my interest is them jamming Sad But True live that one time.
Didn't know what to expect when I went into this video. So I said "Alright. let's see what they did here." Because I am kind of a Nickelback fan. I'm now considering getting an album or two after hearing this. This cover, though it was short, was not bad. It was actually pretty good.
I have loved nickelback since silver side up. Stopped buying after dark horse came out but purchased feed the machine ...never really understood why people hate em but thats fine. I like em
There are quite a few covers of Devil Went Down to Georgia that replace the fiddle with a guitar. I remember hearing a custom song in the GH2 days that did the same.
i like this! although for some reason the vibe of this song feels like cigarette smoke to me??? like, i can smell cigarette smoke if i listen to it lol
As much as I love listening to people playing fast, and I loved the contrast between the devils solo and johnny’s solo, I think the lead guitar players tactic of fiery fingers right out the gate of the song, starting with the tapping, actually hindered the other solos in the song. The tapping and sweep picking was cool and sounded good, but I wanted to hear some kind of interest curve for those solos. Steve omiette does an amazing devil solo in the original cover, and the space he leaves at the start really makes the faster stuff more incredible I think. Also did anyone else feel like there might have been a few “odd” notes in johnnys solo or was it just me. I’d have loved to have heard what this guitar player could have done if he slowed down a little bit and built up to the face melting bits.
Nickelback was always alot better than people let on.. And the reason is alot of people only know their softer songs from the radio.. Just like this song, you'll likely not hear on the radio..
I’ve thought about making an animation of the devil went down to Georgia the gh3 cover, but it always bothered me they didn’t change fiddle to guitar. I can’t fucking believe nickel back did it.
I may not like Nickelback as much as I used to... they used to be one of my favorite bands up to their Here and Now album, and I even went with my dad to a couple of their concerts and we’d just have an amazing time singing along to their songs and giving each other high fives after our favorite songs. I’ll always love and respect them for those memories, no matter if the whole world but me and my father dislike them or not. They’re the only band that ever gave me and my father those memories.
It's pretty decent, I personally would have like some more singing like in the original but all in all I must nickleback gets a solid 7/10 with this cover
This biggest reason that no one knows about these type of songs by Nickelback is because none of it makes it to the "mainstream" radio charts. They have half and half albums. stuff like "photograph" makes up a chunk of it. But then there is also typically another half of the album that never gets any playtime from anyone. So no one who would like the "heavier" side of nickelback ever even thinks to look for it.
Nickelback its so good, i cant believe how people hate them just because they listened in 2000 - 2010, the album feed the machine its so good, u guys should listen that
This actually sounds really good
Sounds even better if you have hair
thomas mead stop... he’s already dead 😭
666 likes omg
I don’t know what’s weirder, the fact that Nickelback covered this song or that fact that it’s actually really good
I mean Kanye West covered bohemian Rhapsody, so, its weirder that its good.
Why is it weird they covered this song? Everyone knows this song
I've never been a big fan of Nickelback but I gotta admit this does kinda slap tho
Agreed
well... it doesnt sound like nickelback so...
You know they didn't write this right? It's an old folk song and this is like the 10th metal version that's been done of it. Not saying it's a bad cover, just that it's not very original
They out sourced the guitarist which kinda makes it Bleh.
2:15. Bruh he is not even strumming!
I thought it was a meme. I can't believe this is actually real lmao
Me too this shit got me vibin lowkey
I think that the song got more heavier but more calm, its the speed perhaps. It feels kinda too calm in my opinion. But the lyrics changes are good indeed
Nickleback, you get a clap.
A CLAP.
SINGLE.
could've been worse, could've got *the* clap
@@levicusx r/CursedComments much?
Imagine a whole crowd clapping just once. No cheering or anything.
I was expecting a really bad helvian meme but what we actually got sounded really good
Hello fellow filipino
Helvian memes are perfect
Me: reads title
My brain: great another Nickelback song
Me in chorus: hey.... Dis pretty good
Ocelot: "Pretty... good?"
Look at this photograph!
Every time Satan sees it, it makes him laugh.
I AM A PROUD NICKELBACK SUPER FAN, AND I AM NOT ASHAMED! They’re first two albums slap, they’re most recent album fucking SLAPS, and this cover is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'll be honest, if I didn't get told this was Nickelback going into it, I would've NEVER known.
I’ve always been a Nickelback fan, it was my childhood. Hearing rockstars or bullet just brings back so many memories from fishing in the sea, screaming Fish on, the fight to get that fish to the surface. Nickelback will always be one of those bands I will love for the memories it gives me

I would totally listen to a slayer cover album by Nickelback. Chad, get you and your guys together and publish that shit!
If Nickelback sounded like this, I’d actually listen to them.
This was pretty good.
Edit: Ive actually started to like them.
They actually are kinda good unlike what most people think. They actually slap.
They do. Listen to Feed the Machine. This Means War. Side of a Bullet. The Betrayal. They. ROCK. 🤘
They do
Nah, don't man just keep hating. We fans need the idiots to laugh & shake our heads at.
@Chaotic Evil Monk fr lol
I won’t lie I’ve always enjoyed nickelback’s music. This is no different.
people just like to hate on people that do well, just like cod

I thought this was gonna be a meme chart, but I gotta say, I'm actually kinda glad it wasnt. This was a pretty damn decent cover
Here before it gets blocked worldwide.
Honestly, this cover was pretty sweet! To be fair, their cover of We Will Rock You was quite spot on, but this cover with the lyric changes makes it a whole lot more cooler than the original!
I don't know what else to say, so to anyone reading this, have a good day!
That “woah!” in the intro was so perfectly timed I died lol
disappointed they didn’t do the “johnny rosin up your bow” part (or an altered lyric version) or the “fire on the mountain run boys run”
I dunno, it makes sense since the Devil and Johnny are having a contest to see whose best at guitar/fiddle and not singing, the chorus is a bit unnecessary. Also I have no idea how they could alter the more country sounding lyrics like the "chicken in a bread pan" part to fit the more rock centered theme of their cover.
paying attention to just your pinky makes for some funny hahas
It do be kinda wiggly tho
Some yuk yuks if you will
I'm glad I clicked on this video. It led me down the path to connecting my favorite guitar to my PC. Didn't know that Wii adapter existed.
I honestly really enjoy this and I was just in shock the whole time.
The devil said "Look at this photograph" to little Johnny
lol the perfectly placed “woah!” in the beginning of the into xD
I like a few nickelback songs.
This is incredible.
Totally the best version yet!!!
This does sound really good
I have a higher opinion of Nickelback than most, but this still caught me a bit by surprise. I didn't even know that they'd done a cover of this until guitarheroROXS AKA aWiseMoose accidentally trolled us by doing this on RB4 but failing initially to clarify that it was the Nickelback version or that it was on RB4.
nickelback fucking slayed this like Johnny did the devil
Honestly didn’t have to slap that hard
I like the subtle changes in subject and lyrics. And i actually like this cover over all
Its a tad bit too far structurally different for me but im impressed that they would attempt something like this.
That WOAH sub sound was timed just right.
I must admit I actually really like this. Especially since I like The Devil Went Down To Georgia
0:05 that was perfect timing
*To the tone of the Jake from State Farm commercial*
"FC on my first try, holy shit!"
"Well its a Nickelback song so..."
love how he's just like "Swearing!?"
I love nickelback. Brilliant cover. And also well done with fc on first attempt
Everybody gangsta until Nickelback covers a song in metal.
This ain't even the first time they sounded like this. What peaked my interest is them jamming Sad But True live that one time.
"Holy fuck, Johnny is really good!". Indeed. lmao 😂
Yeah that was actually cool, I really liked the change in lyrics. I had no idea that they even did this
When George Sightread Fc'd, Johnny said "Well, you're pretty good, old son. I'll sit down in that chair right there. Show me more of how it's done."
YEEEEEEEESSSSS. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ON CLONE HERO!!!
Being a huge fan of The Devil Went Down To Georgia, I gotta say this is some pretty good shit.
Imagine playing this on a fiddle...
Idk what it is about those subdued drums during the verses, but I loved that shit.
I’m an oddball and like some Nickelback songs. No meme, legit
Nickleback can keep his nickels this is pretty good!
Didn't know what to expect when I went into this video. So I said "Alright. let's see what they did here." Because I am kind of a Nickelback fan.

I have loved nickelback since silver side up. Stopped buying after dark horse came out but purchased feed the machine ...never really understood why people hate em but thats fine. I like em
Gotta say, despite it being much shorter than I had anticipated, this is pretty good!
There are quite a few covers of Devil Went Down to Georgia that replace the fiddle with a guitar. I remember hearing a custom song in the GH2 days that did the same.
Honestly wasn't too bad. Not something I'd put on myself, but if it comes on the radio, I wouldn't complain.
"The devil went down to Georgia has been covered by the one and only Nickelback"
"WOAH"
i like this! although for some reason the vibe of this song feels like cigarette smoke to me??? like, i can smell cigarette smoke if i listen to it lol
My fave bit is where ukog shouts oh swearing XD
Not sure what I was expecting, but damn!
You know music is fucked when you get hyped to hear swearing in a song
Another Devil Cover? Oh Boy!
And It wasn't too bad of a cover and good job on that FC.
As much as I love listening to people playing fast, and I loved the contrast between the devils solo and johnny’s solo, I think the lead guitar players tactic of fiery fingers right out the gate of the song, starting with the tapping, actually hindered the other solos in the song.

Nickelback I'm a fan of and they did a good job just as you did a good job george.
how he does it is really good.
cant say I'm much of a Nickelback fan myself
but I have to agree that's one of the best Nickelback songs I have heard.
I would say:
OG song (7/10)
Guitar hero version(8.5/10)
Nickelback version (6/10) felt choppy
this is now in rb4, let that sink in
i agree with your opinion. steve's version has shown us the "Johnny vs the Devil" battle, so...
Nickelback can sound good when the singer is'int using that usual growly voice everyone hates.
This is better than I thought it would be
Listen... that was Clutch!!! Fingers were a blaze!!! Just hearing it was EVIL...BUT TO WITNESS THE ACTUALLY PLAY THROUGH....THAT'S FIRE!!!
This was the 100th song in my drum play list
Johnny versus the devil 20 years later be like
The Devil Went Back To Nickel
0:00 perfect timing
Nickelback was always alot better than people let on.. And the reason is alot of people only know their softer songs from the radio.. Just like this song, you'll likely not hear on the radio..
yeah that was really unexpected. sounds good
If nickleback made more songs like this then I would be a fan of his work
I never hated Nickelback, but there are songs I don't care for. This is a pretty damn good cover. I don't think you could've said it any better Ukog.
Honestly I thought this was a meme and I was NOT expecting it to be real
the whole time i watched this i thought it was actually a cover some random person did in the style of Nickelback but no i looked it up and it's real
The lyrics fit the instruments like in the OG version.
I was actually very impressed, I like nickelback in general but like I expected it to be terrible and it actually was pretty smooth
0:05 No one is gonna talk about that timing?
the solos are actually great, the voice on the other hand
Gotta admit ... this was actually quite good
Chad has a good voice for this
But yes needs a phat solo
That’s actually a really good cover
The original Johnny said the B word in the original song when he told the devil for the last time he's the best that's ever been.
Whats up with the buttons on the controller, they are out of order. Isnt it green red yellow blue then orange?
Chart starts at 1:16
0:05 woah indeed
This is fire bro.
I’ve thought about making an animation of the devil went down to Georgia the gh3 cover, but it always bothered me they didn’t change fiddle to guitar. I can’t fucking believe nickel back did it.
I'm not sure on the vocals but the solos were pretty sick just wish there were more of them like you said
This cover is epic buddy 🤘🤘🔥🔥👍👍
I may not like Nickelback as much as I used to... they used to be one of my favorite bands up to their Here and Now album, and I even went with my dad to a couple of their concerts and we’d just have an amazing time singing along to their songs and giving each other high fives after our favorite songs. I’ll always love and respect them for those memories, no matter if the whole world but me and my father dislike them or not. They’re the only band that ever gave me and my father those memories.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who was expecting a meme mashup...
It's pretty decent, I personally would have like some more singing like in the original but all in all I must nickleback gets a solid 7/10 with this cover

It’s so god damn good. Dave Martone is nuts.
Nickelback its so good, i cant believe how people hate them just because they listened in 2000 - 2010, the album feed the machine its so good, u guys should listen that
i know the original song and this one and i personally think this one is better
