Charlie came to Iraq in 05-06. Our FOB had just been mortared, and they told him they were gonna cancel his trip from Baghdad out to us, and he said nope. He came, played about 10-12 songs, talked for a few, and then hopped on a Blackhawk to the next fob. That Old man was an OG!

@That Carl Chick No, it was the one where she has her back turned to The Charlie Daniels Band, the music is playing, and she has to say if they're playing live or if it's a recording (Is it live, or is it Memorex?). She says, "Beats me." Then, the Charlie Daniels Band knocks on the window of the recording studio she has her back turned to, she turns around, and they say, "It's Memorex!" The point of the commercial was that the quality of Memorex audio cassette tapes was so good, that even a legend like Ella Fitzgerald couldn't tell if it was a live performance or a recording.

I heard of an interview where someone was talking to both Charlie Daniels and a classical violinist. The violinist starts making elitist comments about how fiddlers can't really play the violin or something, and Charlie picks up his fiddle and plays a piece of classical violin music perfectly. Then challenges the violinist to do what he does. I don't know if it's a true story or a tall tale, but I'm inclined to believe it.

He did so much for others, including our troops over seas. I'm glad to see you getting a little taste of his music. He was a good man. Thank you for highlighting him.

I've heard BOTH versions on the radio. Guess they played the unedited version by mistake when I heard it on there. ANYWAY, I've always LOVED this song and will ALWAYS LOVE THE CDB !!! I saw them at the JUNE JAM hosted by the band ALABAMA back in 1986. (Think that's the correct year.) When they started playing "The Devil Went Down To Georgia) I was way back from the stage (outside venue) and I held up the ALABAMA flag. Charlie saw the flag I was holding up and he commented on it ! I forget what he said, but, I could tell he was talking about my flag cause he pointed straight at me and they put a spotlight on me - it was late in the afternoon and getting kinda dark. And, having been an ALABAMA FAN for so long, since ALABAMA started it, I had been wanting to go to the June Jam, but we could never afford it. So, we saved up for it and my Daddy went to that June Jam with me - the one and only JAM I ever went to ! It was a time I'll never forget even though I can't remember all the details. Had a wonderful time for the three days we went to enjoy all the other events going on. 😉

The world was truly a better place when Charlie was in it, he passed away in 2020 at age 83. When I was much younger in Wilmington, when Charlie came home to visit, he came into a diner outside of town where I was working. Someone called the owner who quickly came in. Before Charlie left, after quickly meeting each of us wait staff on the floor, he asked to meet all of the cooks and dishwashers behind the scenes. Charlie knew they were the ones who made the world go round. He was a gentle soul, truly dismissive of his fame, one of a kind.

I was lucky enough to see Charlie Daniels a few years back. Before the concert, he had a free meet and greet, where he autographed photos that he had someone passing out.(also free) He spent time talking with everyone and taking pictures. Then he played and sang for 2 hours. He was a few months shy of 80 years old at the time.

This has to be my favorite reaction video ever! You guys are adorable! I saw Charlie Daniels Band in concert in 1982. Charlie played his fiddle just as well as he did in this video until his death in 2020. This one sealed me as a subscriber!❤

My mom & dad loved to dance to this song... they tore the floor up. Mom's left leg was stiff because of a crushed kneecap... I loved to watch them dance to this song. Everyone loved to watch them. It really was incredible to see. Love your channel, men. ❤ Charlie Daniels is a national icon.❤🇺🇲❤️

I was in High School when this came out. NOBODY had EVER heard anything like it. It became an INSTANT CLASSIC. We knew back then it would live forever. The ultimate battle with the devil. Yes you're right...we knew the devil was God's music director before he was tossed out....which made this EVEN BETTER! Love it! Thank you!!!

My uncles dad was his first bass player when they were young adults for years. Ended up becoming successful in Bakersfield Ca not for music though. He told my dad and uncle he knew him cause they were huge fans and they never believed him so he took them to a concert, no tickets or nothing and walked to the band entry in the back and told the security guard “tell Charlie Ray Is here” and like 2 minutes later he walked out himself and gave him a huge hug and took them all into his green room and hung out. Pretty awesome.

I got to see the Charlie Daniels Band perform this live about 15 years ago and they were fantastic. Brought back childhood memories of listening to the song on the radio. As for Roots, back when there were only three networks, they used to have "event television" in the form of mini series, which typically ran each night for a week. Roots was one of the first, and definitely the one that left the biggest lasting impression. I was just 7, but I watched it all. Talk about a powerful history lesson! It was so successful, mini series were produced every year and became huge ratings draws. I guess it was our version of "binge-watcing" back in the day.

Amen❣️ I was in high school and I would come home do my homework. Shower, wash my hair and get in my comfee jammies, and ate a piece of fresh baked raw apple cake, really old recipe, of my Grandma's. Good memories it seems like a whole lifetime ago!!! But I remember my eyes being glued to the TV set, I always wanted them to get away and not get caught, I would get so tense, anxious, and angry all at once. The inhumanity of supposed "human beings"!!! It was a hard movie to watch, but they were overcomers!!!🙏✝️✡️🇺🇲🇮🇱🌍🖤🤎💛🧡🤍💪❤🕊

Terry, Apparently Roots was fictionalized just to attract viewers. I learned this recently while watching these guys watch a Thomas Sowell video. You might want to check it out. Sowell is such a great historian and teacher.

Just ran across this reaction. I really appreciated it. It was sad when Charlie passed, I met him several times. My wife is Charlie's 3rd cousin. Her grandma is Charlie's 1st cousin. We went to the Daniel family reunion every year down in Elizabethtown, NC. Charlie didn't make it there too often, as he was always busy. He loved America and the military, and was a true patriot. Thanks for the flashback, guys!

Charlie Daniels was considered in the genre called Outlaw Country. Some othwr greats in this genre were Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr. All amazing artists. I grew up with all theirmusic because my dad is a musician and he and his friends would get together once a month or so and play their music. This song came out in 1979 and was an instant classic. He wrote this song to shut upclassical players who said he couldn't play "real violin" music. He showed them all because Johnny's solo is so technically difficult there are still only a few musicians in the world who can nail it.

Love Charlie RIP. He was an awesome talent and even more awesome humbled man. Got pleasure of seeing him about 5-6 years ago at an impromptu mini concert at stone mountain. He guested on another bands remake called Devil Comes Back to Georgia.

Charlie Daniels got super famous along with others from the movie UrbanCowboy with John Travolta& DebraWinger which was filled with great music that all became hits. Charlie became a born again Christian & spoke the word & his love for Jesus Christ everywhere he went. He was 80 when he died & I wondered if he got a golden fiddle!

So glad y’all covered this one! In my young mind, I always thought, so Charlie plays the devil and Johnny? And Johnny wins? The devil always loses, don’t know Johnny, but Charlie definitely has ALL the talent in this internal battle. It’s an enigma wrapped in a talent show, and there’s only one winner. RIP Charlie!!♥️

Charlie is one of the few artists who successfully crossed over the line of being successful in different genres. We were rock fans in the 70s but we LOVED Charlie Daniels. Uneasy Rider was one of our absolute Favorites and you guys should put it in your list of Charlie songs to react to. I really dig how close you guys all are. Keep it that way. The best friendships last forever, and are priceless.
