    Actually, the devil demonstrated considerable skill with his fiddle. Johnny himself admitted he was pretty good. This poster needs to read the Bible.

      I actually like the devil’s breakdown better than Charlie Daniels, but music is subjective like that.

        Yeah if you listen to the song the devil actually played a better song IMO, it always confused me how Johnny won.

          I think the devil lost on purpose; the devil gets Johnny’s soul by making him commit the sin of pride, not by winning the competition.

      The story of the devil and the fiddle is not in the bible.

      It’s from the song “the devil went down to Georgia” from Charles Daniels.

      The song is quite popular so references to it in popular culture are common. But that’s all it is. A story

        I think the “read the bible” was kind of a shot at evangelicals that say that shit all the time.

      It’s wild some of the stuff I find out is in the bible, and not just unrelated fiction. I was 14 when I finally found out David and Goliath was in the bible, not just some whacky kids story lol
