livityvizion even tho it was 7 months ago, that comment was pathetic, im hoping you grew up since 7 months ago, the songs the new skynyrd makes now are 10 times better then any other new country singer out there or rock

I sure do! I recorded 2 speeches by Dr. Alan Keyes at 2 Tea Parties in Pittsburgh myself & I've seen Tea Party activity from Representative Elect Col. Allen West, AlfonZO (Machosauce) Rachel, Kevin Jackson of the Black Sphere & others.
The idea of Liberty & Limited Government is universal. I love the diversity of the people in the Tea Party and that diversity is going to continue to grow!
that new key board player needs to do a little more practicing on billy solos.but then again theres only 1 billy powell he was the best key board player ever!..rip billy.

seriously this is whacked. Skynyrd ended when their plane went down in Mississippi 32 years ago. The band you played with is not Lynyrd Skynyrd , where is artimus pyle? Gary needs to move on, and the band needs to show some repect to one of the greatest rock drummers of all time, after all had he not walked out of that swamp in Mississippi none of this would even be discussed. Truth is....... peace
they are showing respect by touring, that's what the skynyrd boys of ol would have wanted them to do.
To me there is 3 original memebers
johnnie van zant because well, he's ronnie's brother, how much closer could you get?
obviously rossington
and then rickey medlocke who grew up with them, was originally in the band as a drummer and has since came back and has been with the band for over 10 years.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no I do not believe that Ronnie would want LS represented this way, Ronnie wanted Ricky to make it on his own and as for Johnny, it is sad that he is riding his dead brothers coat tails, no disrespect to RVZ, Ronnie was a driven perfectionist who would never allow this to happen, but I am happy that it is good enough for you, and as for the album, it is nothing like the real skynyrd sound, noth-ing..
and the fact they pander to the right wing audience again is an offense towhat RVZ stood for ..
@TedVoron Thank you... I am kinda of wondering who LIVITYVIZION is and why HE is such an authority on what RVZ thinks, or what his dreams are... and I might just remind you Ricky DID make it on his own... I can't think of anyone I would rather have in that spot... I would replace Sparky with Ed King if he were willing to come back into the band, but doubt that will ever happen due to his health. I don't think it was in RVS plans to leave the group the way he did either, but it happened...

@LynSkyn1981 I'm sorry. I just noticed your comment. Unfortunately, I didn't start the recorder until after "Simple Life". When Huckabee announced that they'd be doing a Skynyrd classic after the commercial break, I grabbed a blank DVD & got ready to record.
LS were great,their songs still are but come on now,they just don't have it anymore!I really don't think that they are going to influence many people with this kind of showing.(maybe the 25 old cronies,that are the Huckabee audience).
If people are so hung up on this current line-up not being LS, then don't listen to them or watch you tube video's just so you can be critical. Gary R penned many of LS songs and if he wants to continue, I see no problem with it. I went to see them in June and they were excellant. The place was sold out with both young & old fans. I would much rather have this music on the radio today as opposed to the garbage that dominates now.
right on man, of course this is nothing to the originals, but yet its 10X better than anything else today...i thought the same as everyone else till i went to a 40+thousand concert this summer...they have to keep going
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so you obviously have not listen to their new album, it , to my ears sounds nothing like the skynyrd that made the classics, these guys need to get real, that album was over produced and sounds like a bad version of nashville producers trying cut in on the southern rock sound, and now they "LS" are on fox, this doesn't seem to honor the true storyof who they were and where they came from.
Seriously, LEVITICUS. You are obsessed about the RULES & REGULATIONS of ART & MUSIC. Screw them rules! Here you are lecturing WE THE PEOPLE about not accepting Lynyrd Skynyrd anymore because they aren't comprised of only original members, which makes folks think you are some kind of die-hard, purist Skynyrd fan & now you say they wrote for rednecks which shows you never liked Skynyrd anyway. You're a PHONY!
True, but the DFL party back in the 1970s was much different than they are today. From what I know/read about Ronnie I can't imagine he would've stuck with them but you never know.
I wonder if Huckabee is aware that Lynyrd Skynyrd campaigned for Jimmy Carter in 1976? Ronnie Van Zant even said 'ahh, Mr. Carter's got the answer..." at the end when they performed this song back then. Of course, all of those members, save for Rossington, are gone now.
Personally, I think the fact that they still call themselves 'Lynyrd Skynyrd' when Rossington is the only pre-plane crash member left is pathetic. They play well but they are no longer Lynyrd Skynyrd. It's like saying you own an ax that belonged to Paul Bunyan, it's just had the handle replaced three times and head twice but it's Bunyan's original ax.
Dear Moron...what do you think they should do? Rename the band & still play their own songs, or just quit & and let others bands do covers? If you knew anything about the band, you would know they've had personnel changes since the 70's...all bands do. I sure RVZ would'nt mind his kid brother carrying on for him.
I followed Lynyrd Skynyrd very closely in the 70s and this band is not Lynyrd Skynyrd. Regarding letting other bands do covers... this line up is another band so it really wouldn't matter. Rossington himself once said "Me and Ronnie and Allen started the band and without them, there ain't really a Skynyrd." I guess the fact that there are those who don't know or don't care, that will still open their wallets and buy tickets means Rossington will continue to forget that - he knows nothing else
Too bad the dumbass Republican Party did not have the foresight to nominate Huckabee in the last Presidential race instead of McCain...the country would probably be in a much better shape right now.
