Instead, it\u2019s as engaging as listening to \u2014 nay, <em>watching<\/em> \u2014 two dudes play Guitar Hero. Ralph Macchio\u2019s duel with Steve Vai in 1986\u2019s \u201c<em>Crossroads\u201d<\/em> had more bite and swag, even with Vai\u2019s ridiculous \u201coh!\u201d faces.<\/p>\n<p>Chad Kroeger and Co.\u2019s \u201chomage\u201d aims for fiery, but it\u2019s all just excessive noodling and bro-y chest-thumping. Daniels, as Johnny, notoriously called the devil a \u201cson of a b\u2013h\u201d in the 1979 original, which he later cleaned up for radio play by changing it to \u201cson of a gun.\u201d Here, Nickelback keep the O.G. swear word, but up the ante with a \u201cf\u2013k\u201d too. \u201cSit your old ass in that chair right there, and let me show you how the f\u2013k it\u2019s done!\u201d Johnny Kroeger barks at the devil. As if Lucifer\u2019s never heard that one before.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16145793\"><img alt=\"Chad Kroeger of Nickelback\" data- data- height=\"200\" width=\"300\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Chad Kroeger of Nickelback<\/span><span>Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What he sure doesn\u2019t hear is any fiddle, or the song\u2019s sing-along chorus about fires on the mountain, picking chickens, and biting dogs. (Or is it grannies?) Even Korn, who inexplicably released their own n\u00fc-ish metal version last month, had enough sense to keep the chorus intact.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Johnny triumphs over the devil, winning a \u201cguitar of gold\u201d and saving his soul. If only Nickelback had kept on going and changed the contest\u2019s outcome too. This is one battle we wish the devil won.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Entertainment <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/17\/nickelback-challenges-devil-to-contest-unfortunately-devil-doesnt-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Nickelback challenges devil to contest: \u2018Unfortunately, devil doesn\u2019t win\u2019&#8221; By Joseph Hudak, Rolling Stone August 17, 2020 | 8:07am | Updated August 17, 2020 | 8:07am For a reason that can only be described as \u201cIt\u2019s 2020,\u201d Nickelback have released a cover of the Charlie Daniels Band\u2019s \u201cThe Devil Went Down to Georgia.\u201d Ostensibly a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48026,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[54356,54355],"class_list":["post-48025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-devil-doesnt-win","tag-nickelback-challenges-devil-to-contest-unfortunately"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
