Nickelback - The Devil Went Down to Georgia

 
1
Copied!

{Verse 1}
The Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind the way behind and willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man pickin' a guitar and playin' it hot
The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what."
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a guitar player, too
And if you'd care to take this dare I'll make a bet with you
Now you a pretty damn good strummer, boy, but give the Devil his due
I'll bet a guitar of gold against your soul that says I'm better than you"

But the boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret, I'm the best there's ever been."

{Verse 2}
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he tuned his axe down low
And he pulled that pick across the strings and it made an evil hiss
Then a band of demons all joined in and it sounded just like this

{Verse 3}
When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son
Well sit your old ass in that chair right there, let me show you how the fuck it's done."

{Verse 4}
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that gold guitar down on the ground at Johnny's feet
But Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back, if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

Biography

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band that rose to fame in the early 2000s with their catchy melodies and powerful rock sound. The band was formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta by lead guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair.

Originally starting out as a cover band called “The Village Idiots”, Nickelback eventually decided to change their name to something more unique. The name Nickelback was inspired by a phrase Mike Kroeger used to say when he worked at Starbucks, where he would give customers their change back by saying “Here’s your nickel back”.

Nickelback’s music quickly gained popularity, and the band became one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups of all time. With over 50 million albums sold worldwide, Nickelback is considered one of the best-selling music acts of the 2000s. In fact, they are the second best-selling foreign act in the United States, behind only The Beatles.

Billboard has ranked Nickelback as the top rock group of the decade, and their hit song “How You Remind Me” was listed as the top rock song of the 2000s. The band’s powerful sound and relatable lyrics have resonated with fans around the world, making them a staple in the rock music scene.

Nickelback continues to tour and release new music, solidifying their place as one of the most iconic rock bands of the modern era. Their unique blend of rock and pop influences has earned them a dedicated fanbase and cemented their status as rock music legends.
