The devil played better imo
Also he won in the end. Johnny is so guilty of pride

Johnny just needs to go to church some more, have a chat with his pastor, and feel bad about the whole ordeal and he'll be fine. Devil got nothing against all of that

You're gonna have to be more specific. That song is fiddle all the way down.

AI is stealing the songs! How we will make it? Oh.. people do it too? Well, lets stop the computers from doing it because... RIAA is full of idiots who hate technology.

I personally like the devil’s part better, it has that more rock and roll feel like u/AudibleNod mentioned, but if you really focus on the fiddle part of it, it’s not good. Especially as it goes on, you can hear how it degrades, even my untrained ear

And I always thought they were playing some odd version of Devil Went Down To Georgia the first few times I heard them play Lonesome! Now I know why!

Which fiddle part?
ARock_Urock t1_itmc4su wrote
That's what I always like about his part.
I think he Johnny wins because he did it solo. The devil needed a whole band to sound bad ass, but it was pure Rock and/or Roll!!

The devil fools you into thinking he is better by distracting you with flash

TIL for me, as well. After listening to Lonesome Fiddle Blues on YouTube, I realized I'd heard it before. It's in David Hoffman's 1965 documentary about Appalachian mountain music and step dancing, a band of old-timers is playing it while a couple teens from a traveling dance troupe are warming up: https://youtu.be/kgHgLgR9WNc?t=1613

Plus, wouldn't a solid gold fiddle weigh hundreds of pounds and sound crummy?
bolanrox t1_itmgi3a wrote
that too.
and you would look like a douche nozzle. like the guitarist from Imagine Dragons

Isn’t that how the devil is supposed to work?
You lose and you give your soul or you win and condemn yourself by being prideful.
In the end the devil always wins if you agree to his deals.

You sure you just learned that today, China Cat? 😉
bolanrox t1_itmktj2 wrote
if you believe in that version of Devil i guess.
Like Pacino said in The Devils Advocate. Pride, his favorite sin
ImNickValentine t1_itml9n2 wrote
The Devil totally owned him.

Actually the devil was better until Johnny hit him with the drum solo. Smashed his head in with the gold fiddle and ran off.

You don't hear what Johnny plays on his fiddle. The lyrics are describing the songs that he plays. Fire on the mountain, house of the rising sun, chicken in a bread pan and granny does your dog bite are all songs and the lines that mention them mostly include lyrics to the song too.

“Well, it looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell I thought I might as well suck up, you know what the hell I said, "You know that song that Charlie Daniels did About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle against that kid" He said, "Yeah it broke my heart but you know what are you gonna do I said, "To tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two"

Dylhole09 t1_itn2zd3 wrote
Did a little research, turns out we don’t even hear Johnny’s actual fiddle playing.

I always thought the Devil’s piece was better, despite not really having any fiddle….

An 8 year old me couldn’t wait to hear “son of a bitch” on the radio. They usually played the “son of a gun” version though.

Gonna make me learn the part and try it then are you?

I don't know if you linked the wrong time stamp, but that's not lonesome fiddle blues. That sounds more like paddy on the turnpike or something similar.

So you are saying it was not the greatest playing in the world but only a tribute?

I always like how the Devil basically played Rock n Roll with his band of demons.
