Also, the Devil accepted defeat despite the fact that there were no judges to determine the winner.

Johnny was just so good that even the devil couldn't challenge it.
Johnny is the best that ever was.
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.
steve ouimette has a fucking sick metal cover he did for guitar hero 3
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
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!
I think the "read the bible" was kind of a shot at evangelicals that say that shit all the time.
Well one good story deserves another.
The fiddle itself is a handicap too, gold is an awful material for an instrument.
Book of John, for those curious /s

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.
Liquid, plasma and gas are even worse.
After the diamond industry goes under maybe debeers'll start pushing the plasma gold wedding ring
We already do. You'd know if you weren't so poor.
It would be really soft, so if you ever drop it, the sound would be completely wrecked.
and it would be heavy as fuck. if you held it by the neck it would probably bend. and you couldn't tension the strings.
probably a pretty shitty fiddy

No way, devil won that shit hands down
He used a full band! That's cause for disqualification.
Johnny didn't read the fine print
I can't find the full bit, but John Oliver is on team devil. ~hes not playing power chords, he brought a live band, his chorus is even better!

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.

"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall"
Lucifer was cast out due to pride.
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 there's ever been"
The devil didn't lose, not in the long run.
Traded his soul for a golden fiddle and the right to say he beat the devil in a fiddlin' contest. Pretty cheap, as souls go.
"Oh no, you beat me, whatever shall I do! Anyway, see you in a few decades. Enjoy your earthly possession while you can!"

Devil probably just wants to keep it interesting, it's not exactly like the stakes were very high for the Devil
be Satan
immortal being
so bored 👿
challenge mortals to contests for their souls
give them stupid garbage as prizes
can't even actually collect sold souls!
just hope they turn into arrogant, debaucherous assholes after "beating the devil"
plan successful 😈
inspired a few kickass rock songs too

Good guy satan: Gives people knowledge and then acknowledges when they're better than him at something.
Hmm, so I'm basically Satan as a parent when I give my kids compliments? I guess it's time to get a pitchfork and make it official.
That's... kinda the whole point. If the devil challenged me to a writing-your-name-in-the-snow contest, I might try it. If he challenged me to Fortnite, I'd just laugh at him.
The devil lost because he was using a fiddle made of gold.
The trick was actually that Johnny joined the competition in the first place. I reckon folks'll get mighty suspicious and jealous when you're lugging around a golden fiddle.
We hear about Johnny's triumph, but I suspect that the story plays out in the devil's favor afterwards. He just wanted to make sure that this fantastic fiddler was at the center of the mayhem - taking a musician meant to spread merriment and turning him into a tool for chaos, maybe even rending him from this mortal coil in the process.
He shows up in Oh Brother Where Art Thou doesn't he?
But this way he gets your soul plus kage as a bitch
At this point, he can have JB
I mean with all the souls he's been through I figure he's just having fun with it at this point. Why not a fiddle contest? Maybe the next soul I'll do a doodle contest!
Good enough for government work.
Not even a band of demons can quite fully hide the inferior shredding on that fiddle faddle.
