A Whole Lot of Czechs Sang Johnny Cash with Volbeat on Friday
During their stop in Prague on Friday night, Danish metal band Volbeat decided to bring a little taste of Americana to their European tour. During their stop in Prague, frontman Michael Poulsen guided the crowd through a rendition of the Man in Black’s song “Ring of Fire.” While it sounded like there wasn’t a single person that could replicate Johnny Cash‘s world-movingly low vocal register, that certainly didn’t stop people from trying.
Volbeat fans will be the first to tell you that the band has done this live before. But what’s really interesting to me personally is hearing all of those people sing along. Remember, these are people in the Czech Republic — far from the desert of the American southwest. You can check out the quick clip below if you want to see what I’m talking about.
The Danish band are currently making their rounds throughout Europe as part of their European Fall Tour. They’ve got a day off today, but are expected to kick it back into gear tomorrow in Lyon, France. You can check out the full list of dates below.
