Nice one! This does sound similar to some of the BCC (Black Country Communion) material too, which is another fantastic blend of UK west Midlands metal with traditional blues. Great piece of music.
@@FluxDiablo Closest thing that comes to my mind is some of the tracks off John Paul Jones "Zooma" from 1999, funnily enough around the same time The White Stripes dropped thier debut. Check out "Nosumi Blues" if you haven't heard it, It's sublime.
I could see this working perfectly in a Rob Zombie movie while somebody is rolling up on someone else’s house, this playing in their ride WAAY HEAVY!!! ✌🏻💙🎶
There's some slide (a little bit) in More Human Than Human , so no wonder Zombie comes to mind right away. There could be more, for sure. Once one notices something, one may start finding it everywhere when it was overlooked before. Whatever some sound is named or declared, this here is good stuff anyway.
@@michaeljarvis5489very true. Since I got my shovel guitar and started playing I notice slide in songs I’ve listened to for years and never knew it was in there. ✌🏻❤️🎶
I saw the title and thought, "WTF?". But, whatever comes from Justin's fingers is magic and hits the gut - just right. BIG thanks to the boys in the band - that synth worked perfectly in this context and the bass and drums, right on point.
For the sweet love of mercy, you MUST do a full album of this! And if you want a vocalist, get Nathan James from Inglorious and Iconic. He would be perfect for this kind of music.
@@joshuawills5242 I'm often dubious when people mention listening to stuff at higher speeds. But on this occasion i'll hold my hands up & stand corrected. It does sound pretty damn good at 1.5x lol😂
People always said it was weird that I love old country and metal. Never really cared what they said or thought but the older I get the more I realize there's a lot of other people out there that just love good music 🤘💀🤘
Thank you Justin ........just what I needed to hear... I feel like I'm in the SWAMP today, it's damn near a 101, & I am sweating like a beaver trying to build me a damn.... But you've got me all relaxed now, and putting all that hard work aside to just chillax, finally got off my feet and listened to your jam..... Your tunes keep the spirit of the "down south blues alive", I'll hang out at the SWAMP anytime your around....keep up your jams, thank you, I am a great great fan.......
I'm in Berlin now, second day of stoner Desertfestival. This performance would have a place here - southern blues meets heavy brittish rock from Birm Sabbath
My fave metal band is very, very bluesy, they are called Eyehategod. They also have a heavy punk element, but when they aren’t bashing out a fast paced punk flavored turnaround they are churning slow, nasty, Sabbathian blues riffs from hell. They’re from New Orleans as well, true delta territory! 🤘
And boom. There it is. A new sound. I really think the inclusion of keys in the arrangement is what sets this off. You've got something unique here. I hope to hear more!
This reminds me of LILY OF THE VALLEY , makes me feel like it's 2020 again , that was a good year for getting sloshed while listening to your songs like son of a witch, while my guitar gently weeps, blood moon, tennesee whiskey, etc thanks for another great one to add to my favorites, this year has been a great run so far.
You made exactly what I’ve been hearing in my head for years come alive. My favorite guitarist bringing metal back to its humble blues roots. Thank you Justin!!!
Metal + blues = perfection. I felt a lot of heavier grooves and ideas in previous tracks (I also did a "heavy" drum cover of Quicksilver if you wanna check it out;) and it feels like it all comes together perfectly in this tune, it's the sound I've been wanting to hear for a long time but couldn't because I'm not nearly good enough at guitar to create it ahahaha. Can't wait to hear more tracks in this style, even a whole record, or two, or even some more!
I put my stamp on that. Nobody ever heard old holler boys playing Old Time, didn't hear the metal in it. I've listened to pickers all over the Deep South, and it's easy to see why folks went for bands from Skynrd to Sabbath, down here. But Grandpa still has all the tricks, y'all.
Sooooo good! I love metal, I love the blues, and I love listening to you,Justin Johnson!!! Big fan! You and Stevie Ray Vaughn are my favorite blues guitarists!!! 🥰🎸🤘
So incredibly good. My favorite thing you have done honestly! The talent in finding the unique and molding it into something flat out perfect is on full display. Props to you! Great great work!!
This is Gators in the Swamp ! U did a video 3 yrs ago.Evidently different after the band kicks in but still , Gators in the Swamp ! Great music, keep rollin' on, Justin.
i guess that answers the 'but does it djent' question. metal blues slide shredding? i'm here for it. love it. would love to hear more of this on the mavis mule. dream guitar right there.
Ah yeah. Would love to know more about the band you jam with - the drums and bass are on point with this one. That's not to say they aren't always on point, because they are.
Justin, did you meet the devil at the crossroads and make the deal to dance across the fretboard so effortlessly that it tickles one's eardrums magically!?!?

Black Sabbath if they came from Birmingham, Alabama rather than Birmingham, England.
😂😂😂

Great piece of music.
sharing the aloha JJ's cover of "Paranoid" just saying ua-cam.com/video/CbLw0rT0cHM/v-deo.html
Swamp Sabbath
I'd listen to an entire album of this no problem
Imagine with some badass vocals? Music match made in heaven!
White stripes?

No... @@DavidGonzales-dm4pg
Metal and blues really need to come together more often. All the right pieces are there for amazing stuff.
They are always together, bro.
@@savin2807 well.they do a shit job of acting like it
@@savin2807 Definitely rooted, but putting blues on display like this in metal is not done as often as it should be (handful of exceptions out there)
Stoner Metal is usually pretty blues-heavy, always a good way to go :D
This be *Modern* blues. It might not sound traditional, but it’s another Monday in *The Brotherhood of Pain.*
Definitely getting “When The Levee Breaks” vibes. Very cool!
MORE, give me MORE . My two favorite types of music together. So coooooool . All of Justin’s music is over the top. So glad I found him music .
Yeah, this is the sound we so crave for. Please make an Johnson Metal Delta Blues album!
I second this motion for a Metal Delta album!! \m/ \m/
Hell yeah me thrice it down
All in favor?
AYE
There, the “ayes” have it, the motion carries. The album must now commence forthwith.
I would love to hear a metal band play during a blackout using resonator instruments. The show must go on.
I mean, the blues is one of the reasons why metal exists, so... I loved this.
Dark Country approach... awesome tone!!!
Being both a metal head and into delta blues, this is the bomb! Would love to hear more of this heavy sound.
can't let that heavy metal sound disappear it must make a big comeback. and better.
Yessss, both of my favorite music styles combined
I could see this working perfectly in a Rob Zombie movie while somebody is rolling up on someone else’s house, this playing in their ride WAAY HEAVY!!! ✌🏻💙🎶

Yep. We definitely need a full album of this style. 😍
Check out Low Volts. He has a very similar sound to this.
I saw the title and thought, "WTF?". But, whatever comes from Justin's fingers is magic and hits the gut - just right. BIG thanks to the boys in the band - that synth worked perfectly in this context and the bass and drums, right on point.

Oh YEAH! You guys just scratched two of my favorite itches - The Blues AND Metal! Thank y'all VERY much!
Anything Justin Johnson does is just plain awesome!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎😎
As Lynard Skynard once said, “You Got That Right”
@@LoneWolf-McWeed *Lynyrd Skynyrd*
Love this heavy Southern metal!! Awesome
The fact that the guitar is barely distorted and still got that metal tone is proof enough that you dont always need to have the gain at max
Wow this is just amazing, have not heard anything like this from Justin can't believe the sound coming from the resonator.
Can't get enough of this track. it's the perfect mix of Delta blues and metal. If you make a whole album like this it would sell
I don't know how you would call this genre but it is absolutely gorgeous. Please keep it up, cannot wait for another drop of something alike 🤩
I guess it'd be Delta Metal.
I think this qualifies as swamp metal
This the light end of the stoner/sludge metal vibe.
Cool AF Rock? You know, the thing with heavy blues influences that was the father of metal?
primus esque at points, the riff progression reminds me of "Shake Hands with Beef" or "My Name is Mudd"
Stoner rockish more to my ear rather than metal, but you're still an icon Justin. Beautifully played - well done.
Yeah very CLUTCH sounding.
Perhaps you should call it 'where the desert meets the swamp' haha
Robin Trower...
Play it at 1.5x speed, definitely closer to metal for most of it. Enjoyable no matter the genre and playback speed though X)
@@joshuawills5242 I'm often dubious when people mention listening to stuff at higher speeds. But on this occasion i'll hold my hands up & stand corrected. It does sound pretty damn good at 1.5x lol😂
Well done JJ! I could picture those Gators making their way out of the swamp! 👍👍🎸🎸
People always said it was weird that I love old country and metal. Never really cared what they said or thought but the older I get the more I realize there's a lot of other people out there that just love good music 🤘💀🤘

Alright, alright, alright! Lovin' that resonator! More please 💖🤘🎶👏
This just shows how close to blues is metal. Incredible!
Justin Johnson is becoming more impressive every time I hear him. This genre is captivating...
He really is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
Only gets better with age 🤘🏻🤘🏻
like delta blues love metal bring it on
I didn't know Swamp Metal was a thing, but I'm in... :)

Still listen to the nola swamp blues every now and then

This is great, all that intense energy and attitude from the roots of the genre itself. This is the music we need more of nowadays.
This tune and sound is so addictive that I don't have the words. I'm both a metal head and a blues man, and this nourishes what's left of my soul.
we did it, we've done a full circle: first we evolved blues into metal and now we made a metalized version of a blues song, marvelous
Love this sound 🤘🤘 guitar magic.
Music from the Hideout. Never disappoints!
Love the drummer. Deep grove that even I couldn’t fall out of. I never thought I was a metal fan. But if this is metal, I’m a metal fan.
Sounds like it would fit in perfect with the heavier stuff from the Peaky Blinders soundtrack ❤
This needs to be a thing. Please continue this.
Супер классный гитарист и музыкант! Просто восторг! Спасибо Братан.
армяшку спросить надо
Был на Сахалине в 80 у меня напарник,Манукян.имя забыл.он жил на юге Сахалина,а работали мы на севере у нефтяников.хороший был напарник.
I love listening to Justin Johnson and I definitely love metal so hearing both together is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
J J is 🔥 in any genre
I agree with the other commenters saying bring us a metal delta blues album. It would be phenomenal.
Holy molly, thank you for such a banger of a song!
Hearing this has just changed my whole day.
Do the world a favor, never ever ever stop making music. This is so fucking good.
Can we get a whole album like this, please?
The Blues, the heaviest music in the world!
Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sooooo good! I love metal, I love the blues, and I love listening to you,Justin Johnson!!! Big fan! You and Stevie Ray Vaughn are my favorite blues guitarists!!! 🥰🎸🤘

Justin Johnson is my spirit animal.
Always good to see something new!
It shall be known as "Blue Steel". Love this sound.
Stoner metal! Love it!
Dope metal is a thing, and it doesn't sound like this, but this is outstanding.
*Modern Blues fo’ the Workin’ Man.*
This is the sound I have been trying to create! Bluesy riffs with a good amount of distortion!
Finalmente alguien que permite al bajo brillar.
Usted es de los míos.
This is Gators in the Swamp ! U did a video 3 yrs ago.Evidently different after the band kicks in but still , Gators in the Swamp ! Great music, keep rollin' on, Justin.
I’ve been waiting for something like this!!!!!!
Lord Have Mercy! You need to do a full album! I'm already jotting down lyrics to this & vocals!!!
Джейсон! Вы делаете кавер ,и о чудо,слушать это намного интересней чем заезжаный оригинал!Видимо это только Вы можете. Это уникально и неподражаемо.
Его зовут Джастин Джонсон
@@ИзяШаломандра Да! Непростительная
ная ошибка
The synth add soooooo much. This is great.
Damn that was fire 🔥🔥🔥 I love Delta Blues and I love Metal so.. 💯 Awesome
Thanks brother!
Awesome More drive and blues with elements of rock and metal.
Holy shyte that was awesome brother JJ🙏🏻💜🇨🇦
i guess that answers the 'but does it djent' question. metal blues slide shredding? i'm here for it. love it.
would love to hear more of this on the mavis mule. dream guitar right there.
Fabulous lost myself in the sound.
The only appropriate word I can think of to describe this is "BADASS!!"
Джастин возвышается всё больше и больше своим талантом это высокий профессиональный уровень у этого человека 🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤OMG, you had me right from the opening on this one. AWESOME!!! Please do a whole bunch more of this!!! ❤❤❤
Brilliant.💚
Oh man!!! You've got something with that sound my friends.
Просто великолепно 🤠🤘
Ah yeah.
Would love to know more about the band you jam with - the drums and bass are on point with this one. That's not to say they aren't always on point, because they are.
This is amazing I can’t stop listening to it 👍
Needs to be more mainstream.
Id enjoy hearing this music style on the radio
This is amazing!
YES!!! This is what I have been waiting for! JJ doing Metal!!!
Amazing fusion of sounds there, I really like it. Love the way you mic'd the guitar, too.
Thanks Jack!
Steve Vai-ish, yeah! I love it!👏👏👏for Justin, the master!
You're great !!!🤘🎸🤠
I could listen to you solo over a groove like this all day
wow, sounds amazingly good!!
Love this...reminds me of 'New Orleans Heavy Swamp Blues' on the fretless 6 string
Absolute 🔥
You guys just created a new music genre!”Heavy Metal Blues “🤟🤘👍
F'n awesome! 👍
Ultimate road trip music. Listen to this anytime I'm on a trip either in the car or rocking chair 💺
Lolol
Justin, did you meet the devil at the crossroads and make the deal to dance across the fretboard so effortlessly that it tickles one's eardrums magically!?!?
Yes, an album would make me very happy! 😀
Hoooooo yeah !!! me too !!! :))
This is amazing
Something about that sounds resonates deeply within me.
