Charlie Daniels believes Guitar Hero version of 'Devil' to be a perversion, says Guitar Hero has a 'dark side'

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. Unfortunately I lost the publishing rights on the song many years ago in a settlement with a former partner and the license to Guitar Hero was granted by the company who now owns the publishing. …Actually the game really has a dark side complete with grotesque monsters on stage with the band, strange, eerie lighting effects and all manner of weird things popping up on the stage. - Charlie Daniels

Truth be told, I much prefer Mr. Daniels version of “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” to the Guitar Hero one. With that said, I think he has gone just a bit too far with his claims of Guitar Hero’s hidden evils.
