In a recent update to the Soapbox section of his official Web site, Charlie Daniels (pictured below, with band) rails against Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, the rhythm game that climaxes with a hard rock cover of his biggest hit, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." But it's not the rock reworking that bothers him; it's that the song appears in a climactic guitar duel with the devil (pictured at bottom).
"The song... is supposed to be a lighthearted novelty about a fiddling contest between a country boy and the devil and the devil always loses," Daniels wrote. "That is not the case with the Guitar Hero version which comes complete with a horned, guitar-playing devil who battles the player and very often wins. I want any of you parents out there whose children have this game to know that I did not grant these people my permission to pervert my song and am disgusted with the result."
