Still one of my favorite Slayer riffs to this day, nothing crazy just simple and addictive.

[@christopherbeavers8344]

Fantastically done E! Been a fan for over a decade now. Glad you are well, and keep it up man, it's been a blast.

[@kryotos2766]

I dont think ive ever headbanged so hard from 1:20 to 4:00, you have absolutely SLAUGHTERED this cover. So damn good!

[@331Erock]

Thank the thrash masters themselves - Slayer 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I suggest that he SLAYED the cover…

I love that he is always playing with a huge smile on his face, you clearly love what you do!

[@Deamons64]

It's crazy. I remember listening to your stuff back in 2012, and here you are, 10 years later still putting out badass music.

[@schuylerhansard1486]

I was just thinking this!! Has to be one of the longest still active KZbin guitarist!!!

Yup yup, discovered him back in 2007 or so, just as good today as back then

3:11. Ahhh here comes the mosh pit if you don't want to be in it get out right now lol.

[@NanoElite666]

Let's be honest with ourselves, "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" has always been a metal song that was just written in the wrong genre.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Steve Ouimette remedied that for Guitar Hero 3. I've had it on my MP3 player since its release. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWrGqadsnKp4nNk It's always kicked ass (especially after 1:20 in) but this one by 331Erock is an awesome revision. Just the wrong vocals, though just an opinion.

[@darrenrogers6430]

So true

[@bimmyfrizzo3988]

I always wondered if charlie daniels was aware of that. Even that power metal band (I guess) adrenaline mob covered this song like it was their very own. 😅

[@deantodd8103]

Charlie Daniels straddled the line between straight country and southern rock. And as anyone who's listened to Lynyrd Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet knows, southern rock is very much influenced by hard rock. So yeah, Charlie Daniels probably had a little bit of metal in his heart and soul.

THIS IS INSANELY EPIC!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Your COVERS ROCK LITERALLY SO MUCH, THEY RULE!!! KEEP up the AWESOME WORK!!!

Subbed way back in like 2012 when I was 12 just rediscovered you, so much nostalgia going back to your old vids. So happy to see your still rocking you are the GOAT!

[@daviddelisio8829]

Dude.....DUDE... this was AWESOME!!!!!! I've been following you a long time and this one has moved to my favorite.

[@ruffryder13]

Yes! Someone finally did the 'band of demons' part right!

[@331Erock]

We could toss up a good number of bands to fill that spot but I think most can agree that Slayer is the most iconic band of demons 😬

[@Xbox_HonorGuard_Ra]

And this is why I'm subscribed. As a Georgia boy, I thank you for giving The Devil his due. Excellent Cover.

[@bobbyblueholliday]

Agreed! Peach state represent!

[@AmorphisBob]

"Hell Awaits" is the perfect addition to this song because one thing most people don't get is that win or lose, Johnny's goin to hell. He may have beat the devil, but even if taking the bet on its own wasn't a hellworthy tresspass, his vanity is gunna drag him down anyway.

[@trentonarney6066]

One of my favorite songs of all time. The original and this version.

[@331Erock]

SUCH a good song!

[@petitekitteh]

Sometimes the best things happen at the right time. This is definitely the best cover in my opinion. That Slayer part is pure fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DVMartin997]

Awesome version. Well put together. I remember in 1983 or ‘84, I saw a band at Gazzarri’s on the Sunset Strip in L.A. do this as a metal song. The pounding keyboard in the middle was the bass player, and they did dueling guitars for the fiddle parts. It was killer. The devil went down to Hollywood, lookin’ for a soul to steal… Went Gazzarri’s to check out the bands, he was willin’ to make a deal… Remember it like yesterday.

[@RandysRides]

Holy crap, dude. With that grin and fluidness, you make it look easy. You absolutely slayed this. Very cool. :)

[@MaskedRiderChris]

DUDE. When you busted out "Hell Awaits" in the middle I went out of my mind! That was the song back in 1985 that made me a die hard Slayer fan. This in general was just amazing and was well needed in my day. Thank you!

[@JLR77]

This is by far my favorite upload of yours! Thank you so much!

[@331Erock]

Holy!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@monkai666]

For anyone curious Steve Ouimette himself has a channel and did lesson videos on his guitar hero version.

[@danielskyten9730]

Holy shit. This brought back so many memories of me and my brother playing Guitar Hero 3 on our Wii when I was like, six years old. Those were the days....

[@ForestLandSea]

Erock still got it, paved the way for all the guitarists on youtube. Would love to see you in one of the shred collabs!

[@Nathan_Talisien]

Even if I don't like the specific song you do, somehow your covers are always still throughly entertaining!

[@micahphilson]

I just happened to discover this channel the day you post this video?! Either God, fate, or the youtube algorithm becoming scary good at its job...

[@kristinrad]

Your music and your little smile when you play it really brightens the world. Thank you!!

[@p4ul.e970]

i've been waiting YEARS for this!

[@zlinedavid]

Charlie Daniels was country through and through, but he’s always had that defiant , don’t-give-a-fuck spirit that any metalhead can appreciate. Not as different as they may seem at first glance.

I have a cousin who was taught fiddle by CD.

[@edboymovies]

Was that some Slayer inspired stuff towards the middle? Went great with the composition and you killed it as always Eric 🤘

[@dannydemonicmusic]

I heard that too

[@Vposerslayer]

That was the song Hell Awaits by Slayer injected into this song. Super clever

[@331Erock]

Not inspired. A Slayer song - Hell Awaits. Band of demons, slayer, ah thank you 😬

[@naturalpro2003]

A lot of distortion in that one. Great take on it. Charlie would be happy. May he R.I.P. 💖

[@crazylegsmurphy]

Man... this is so close to what I've been looking for. Since the first time I heard this song I've wanted nothing more than to hear a version where it is banjos, fiddles, and basically bluegrass. Then, when the metal part hits it is hard hitting like this. Then, when it goes back to Johnny he gives a fiddle performance that blows the socks off everyone. I've never heard a version that had both musical genres mixed. This is has the metal part, hopefully someone does the bluegrass part.

[@yangfang9523]

Go listen to Jerry Reed's cover. i like it more than the original

[@BHandy000]

Dude your covers absolutely slay. But I must say I thought the slayer cover in the middle took away from the song.. it was awesome, just didn’t fit for me. I always hear the devil part in my head as super tuned down djent breakdown style with Chris turner drumming vs Johnny part as more speed metal 80’s style mike portnoy drums. Signifying the battle of kinda new vs old or good vs evil (you choose the side lol). Keep killing it man I love watching your interpretations!!

[@eddiewilkinson9794]

I'm a huge Charlie Daniels Band fan, and was still in school when "Headbangers Ball" was still must see tv. I clicked on this with great trepidation, this is by far the best "Hard Rock / Metal" cover of Devil Went Down to Georgia I've run across. While being best known for his fiddle Charlie Daniels could pick the hell out of a guitar, I think He'd get a big kick out of this. Generally I'm not a huge fan of covers, but damn' if you didn't nail it plumb flush and square. Close enough to the original to recognize the song, different enough to see the new artists take on it. Good Work.

[@squishedagiant]

Wow I used to watch this dude when I was in middle school and he’s still rockin away 🤘

[@mushafasa]

If I could count how many times that's been said about Mick Jagger...

Fantastic, always been a brilliant piece on its many forms, but this is awesome

[@Twist3dLogic]

[@80sfordguy]

Now this is badass, this makes the metal version on guitar here sound like pop rock when compared.

[@samuelpergande1302]

So epic breaking into slayer, way to freaking absolutely kill it!

[@MediocreHexPeddler]

This starts out as a metal cover and then slowly morphs into a perfect Killing Floor backing track, then transitions back into aggressively hillbilly metal madness.

I've always considered Adrenaline Mob's version the #1 cover of this song. But this one has become #1a just for the sheer creativity involved - and it's pretty cool that it includes Charlie's vocal track. Both versions stomp all over Nickelback's.
