Johnny committed the sin of Pride when he said that he’s the best, and the sin of Greed when he coveted that gold fiddle.
The Devil got what he wanted as soon as Jonny accepted the bet.
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.
Book of John, for those curious /s
The fiddle itself is a handicap too, gold is an awful material for an instrument.
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
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
Whatchu mean your Bible ain’t got the Gospel accordin’ to Charlie? You one of them freaky-deaky Catlicks? Come on down to the First United International Church of the Resurrection of the Lost Cause and we’uns gonna show you how to praise the Lord CORRECTLY!
He was just trying to get rid of that awful solid gold fiddle. What’s the use of gold in hell?
I dunno why the robot devil specified “solid” gold-- the original song just said gold. You can make violins out of metal, so theoretically a gold one could work.
It would be really soft, so if you ever drop it, the sound would be completely wrecked.
Ever heard of alloys? All things “gold” are actually alloys because pure gold is pretty damn useless for the reason you cited.
I thought people usually just did a gold coating around a more reasonable material. In this case, your fiddle would still be wood, but it would have a gold finish to look pretty.
Devil probably just wants to keep it interesting, it’s not exactly like the stakes were very high for the Devil
