LYNYRD SKYNYRD FINISHING DARKER NEW ALBUM WITH COLLABORATION

[TheHammerheart]

Tony Iommi gets drug thru hell for dragging the Black Sabbath name thru hell during the mid-late 80's and early 90's as the only original member, and this high-paid cover band that calls itself Lynyrd Skynyrd doesn't. Maybe if they'd get Ed King and Artimus Pyle back I could accept it. Otherwise, no way. It's just an over paid cover band as it is.

[rotagen5]

Gary Rossington, hard working survivor and a guitar monster. Thats why I'm still interested.

[ninahellawicked]

FUCK BEER ROCK BULLSHIT!!

[bisp25]

the bottom line is if nobody wanted to see them they wouldn't go. they still play sold out shows in front of 20,000 people. so all yall opinons mean nothing

[MrDoc1964]

Johnny is horrible ! This isn't Skynyrd , they might as well call it The Johnny Van Zant band . Enough already !

[copnite12342]

i love you john 5 u may be crazy...haave i told u lately that i love you you're the only reason why im not afraid to fly.

[ledzeprocks21]

absolutely pathetic what's become of skynyrd

[Bensidhe]

I love this album ...Despite having lost most of the original line up these guys still put out the goods and rock hard .

Here's a footnote to those who didn't know . Gary Cossington is responsible for the sound of LS . His mandate is . Any one who plays in the band has to know how to play just like previous members of LS , in their style, note for fucking note.

Tell me how this isn't Skynyrd ?

Yeah, they're all older ( aren't we all ? ) , but the sound is the same, better probably , Amen .

[666deceased666]

OMFG! John 5 has nearly gone with every project and every band. its about time they put him in G3, they shall rape the audience together!!

[dabruders]

Neil who?

[stewartjack45]

A simple man says simply FUCK YOU

[KLinZ3]

OMG, get a listen to ol' fat-face at the very end of this clip. His vocals blow rotten blue cheese now and then. As catchy and rich as some their guitar solos were, they were a rednecked, back-woods jam band. Neil Young was right and guess what? He was and still is sooo much more respected in the annals of music history than these good ol' boy cretins........

[stewartjack45]

Sounds like you would like to blow neil young

[MalumSin]

@KLinZ3

Ya know wat, Lynyrd Skynyrd is an amazing band. Neil Young hasn't made music in years, and hell, he's prolly fuckin dead by now. So what's that tell you failure? That LS is that much better, cuz hey, might not be the origional lineup, but they still fucking rock. And on top of that, ya better watch wat'cha say bout us good ol' boys, before we decided to give ya a size 12 rednecked boot up the ass, got it?

[Bensidhe]

@MalumSin Niel is still alive and well , but hey, its two different styles of rock , two very different messages being said too . I know there's soem bad blood , or used to be between LS and Young.

Music is music though , I like 'em both for what they have to say, and how they sound. Rock on brother, rock on.

[kskbills]

Skynyrd will always be the best live band ever. Fuck you fags who call them a tribute band.

[SeanSkynyrd1]

well said

[travler703]

the way i see it, they are a tribute band,whether they call themselves one or not,But who better to pay tribute to Ronnie and the rest?I mean would you rather hear freebird by a VanZant or by Cotton and the Bollweavels,lol

[bol316]

Further proof that John 5 didnt belong in Marilyn Manson. Why oh why did you go Zim Zum? :( Oh well at least Manson is still kicking and Zim Zum has his own band now Pop Culture Suicides :)

[MesoAsian]

zim zum sucked as a live guitarist, he did help write mechanical animals though so I guess credit is due. but really, John 5 and Daisy were his best axemen.

[wickedlester610]

i agree with 5150 samson if there going to continue as skynyrd grt people in the band that was there when they started get pyle back get king back and who in the hell is john 5 i can play all ok allen collins parts on all of there songs can i join the band ???????

[TheRealLoveMonkey]

man, fuck all you haters. Lynyrd Skynyrds a fuckin attitude. All these guys are tied in 1 way or another 2 the original line up and if you don't believe me, look it up.

It's ageless music, and it sure as hell beats the livin crap outta music that gets air play 2day.

[FlyFreebirdYeah]

Well said

[SeanSkynyrd1]

exactly ;)

[HectorArcadius]

I would give everything so see these folks live in Europe... Even if they're not the original line-up, they still rock big time!

[suthernrocker13]

dude johnny is awesome it takes skill to sing that good and chew gum at the same time.

[BonzoFonzie]

Im stoked about the new album..people who say the new skynyrd sucks are stupid..they are a bunch of souther boys gettin out and kickin some ass and having fun..Jonny aint tryin to feel Ronny's shoes..I know that If my brother died and I had to sing in his place I would have fun at it cause thats what he would want. Still holdin on to what they got..Still alive still UNBROKEN

[walkfrree4112]

john 5 has a huge country and southern classic rock background.

[5150samson]

john 5? wtf? they can't find ant good southern rock guitarists to fill in? why not get the outlaws,molly hatchet ,.38 special together & go tour as one big gi-normous band and then " the south will truely rise again" amen !

[rockinredneck57]

A good guitarist can play anything. John 5 was asked by Skynyrd to help with the new CD. If he wasn't up to snuff he wouldn't have gotten that call. Who else they gonna get, Vince Gill? I miss the guys from 77 too, but they are gone. Medlocke has been there almost from the start anyway.

[pipewelder883]

you people have a bad case of having your head up your ass these boys playing like skynyrd today can't & never will hold a candle to skynyrd they are the best you can get today--try listening to blackberry smoke & move on with your life

[grgoldner]

Nobody said they could hold a candle to the original lineup. Stop being so angry and enjoy the Skynyrd music of today.

[ninahellawicked]

you stupid conformist fucks crack my shit up

[fstbck2000]

They don't sell out everywhere they play. In fact their a warm up band opening for Kid Rock.

[grgoldner]

Have you listened to any of their songs since they re-formed in 1987? Of course you have and you have all their CD's since that time since your'e a looooong time fan. Admit it, you've listened to them, you like the songs and you will buy or download their new CD when it comes out. Right?

[grgoldner]

Shitcanned all the way to the bank brother. Try to get tickets to one of their concerts now a days days. You won't be able to cause there all sold out. They are more popular now then they ever were.

[fstbck2000]

This is not Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ronnie Van Zant was Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is crap. Johnny is a clown that can't sing.

[pipewelder883]

finally somebody who sees clearly. Ronnie was all about the music he wrote. johnny is just a punk.

[grgoldner]

I'm a pipe welder too but you are an idiot. They are more popular now than they ever were because of Johnny. Stupid comment.

[pipewelder883]

Are you serious. The reason skynyrd is popular know is because of people like gene odem and ronnies wife judy. These people kept the "real" skynyrd alive.

[grgoldner]

Wrong and stupid, Johnny is a suitable replacement and always has been.

[flargmuffin92]

As long as Gary is still in the band....its still Lynyrd Skynyrd..

And even if their new material sounds nothing like their material in the 1970s, its still kick ass...and if you dont fucking like it...quit commenting on these videos and get a fucking life.

[skynyrdJVZ]

skynyrd is one of the best live act . johnny van zant rocks and his other project van zant and the cd my kind of country is great and also the song brickyard road before he restarted skynyrd. Gary and Rickey are legends and the new members all are kick ass players. skynyrd continues thru many many sad events , Ronnie, steve gaines, cassie, Alan Collens, leon, Billy and also Ian and Hugie also

[JayGrabow]

"God and Guns"? You gotta be joking! Skynyrd has become a parody of themselves.

[skidrow75]

yo ninahellwicked--YOU AND YOUR MOTHER BOTH SUCK!!

[CHICOLEO666]

Lynyrd Skynyrd rules!!!!!

[ninahellawicked]

oh and excuse me i forgot to put a d in hardcore i guess im uneducated now because of a fucking typo

[samhain1967]

Oh and just to name a few hardcore mothers that love and or were influenced by Skynyrd...

Pantera, C.O.C, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Drowning Pool, Soil, Jackyl, Zakk Wylde, etc... the list goes on

[ninahellawicked]

those people arent hardcore they're just stupid old shit that claim to be metal

[samhain1967]

blah blah blah... you wouldn't know good music or talent if it hit you in the face.

[heytheremrsushi]

i thought lynrd skynyrd all died in a plane crash!!!

[slohurdler22]

a bunch of the original band died in 1977 plane crash. for a lot of people that was the end of skynyrd

but 10 years later they reformed with ronnie van zants brother as the singer.

currently, they only have 1 original member.

[discosucks99]

They did. The band since 1977 is only Lynyrd Skynyrd by name. The rock-n-roll hall of game was right on by only including the original band members.

[discosucks99]

They did. The band since 1987 has been a glorified cover band at best.

[grgoldner]

I don't know of any cover band that sells out 280 shows a year and grosses 6M$. Stupid comment.

[discosucks99]

That is my point you idiot. They sell out shows because they primarily play pre 78 songs. Man, I cannot stand people who defend the the post crash band.

[grgoldner]

They formed again with full support of surviving members and FAMILY. What's wrong with letting the MUSIC live on. What did you want them to do, stop all together in 1977? Some of us would not be able to enjoy what we enjoy today. If you don't like it (which I know you do but you won't let on) don't listen and don't go to the shows. I know I enjoy it and can't wait for the new CD. Answer me this- have you gone to a show or picked up a Skynyrd CD since 1977? I'll bet you a hundred.

[discosucks99]

I apologize for calling a fellow Synyrd fan an idiot. Whether we like the new band or now, we both love the original. Take care.

[grgoldner]

No apology needed, we all have our own opinions. One thing I know we agree on is that disco always did and always will suck. I hope some of those clowns don't try to make a comeback.

[Southernborn761]

nope saw them in late sept. early Oct of "77" and i aint been back to watch no tribute band, this is not skynyrd and yes they should change the name to the greedy gary band or riding my brothers coat tails band. do people really still buy muzic? this new stuff aint worth stealing either. they sell out show's? yeah as a opening act.

[rockinredneck57]

I saw them in 2003 in Nashville. I would n't call them a tribute band at all. Rickey and Hughie along with Gary are southern rock guitar legends no matter who they play with. Hughie Thomasson was every bit as good as Allen Collins. Ean Evans had filled in for Leon in the past before Leon died so that wasn't a stretch either. Replacing Ean AND Billy is hard to do and still call it Skynyrd though. They can call it whatever they want, it's still good music.

[skarkot]

I'm with ya when your right buddie. You made a great point when you called them a tribute band. You also right on the Gary Rossington part. He is greedy and I think that is bullshit. The band shouldn't be called Lynyrd Skynyrd...in writing it says that there has to be 3 original members in the band to keep the name. There is only 1 and that is Gary. I don't count RIcky as being an original since he quit and came back when he knew they would sell out.

[fstbck2000]

I hate it when someone says Johnny is Ronnie's sound alike brother. I've even heard johnny say thats why he has a right to be there because he is Ronnie's brother and it's in his blood. Thats bs because Johnny has no talent. He can't sing or write songs he just acts like a clown.

[xIMPERIALx]

wow john 5's beard is class, its just funny, it doesnt really suit him like but ah well lol

[fbendz]

Of course you're gonna get shit for cursing at people just because your musical taste differs from theirs. Lynrd Skynrd have written one of the best songs in the world (Free Bird) and they definitely deserve credits for it.

[samhain1967]

Rofl.. you have some nerve.. you can't even spell so for you to call anyone a retard or say anyone needs to go back to school is ridiculous. That said I was in metal bands most of my life and didn't like Skynyrd all that much either but after seeing Freebird the movie which is basically a concert at the Knebworth Fair in 1976, I have totally changed my opinion. Fact is Skynyrd back then at least could blow the pants off any current band rock or metal and it's as simple as that.

[ninahellawicked]

thats all a matter of opinion and i dont realize what i spelled wrong and you played what kind of metal because if it was anything that didnt suck it would of been much crazier and harder to play than skynards dumbasses

[samhain1967]

Just because one form of music might be more difficult to play than another doesn't make the music good... Just ask Mozart... he was a musical genius and his music is the most difficult to play of any classical but there were lots of other composers that blew Mozarts pants off.. Beethoven being just one of those.. And Skynyrd can blow the pants off anyone you're listening to I am quite sure considering your obvious lack of education and musical knowledge.

[ninahellawicked]

are you retarted you dont even know me to say I have a lack of education or musical knowledge

1. There is not one good thing about skynard the only bands they influence are shitty

2. I'm in college dumbass

3. Some metal is not that hard to play but skynard does have the presence, power, energy, or musical prowess that harcore music does and their fans are dumb rednecks i unfortunately grew up around a ton of them

[samhain1967]

You can't even spell retarded correctly, and yes I agree you're probably a dumb, inbred, redneck... how else would you grow up around them, if you weren't one yourself.... like the old saying goes, it takes one to know one... dumbass!

[skidrow75]

you're fucking warped...fucking liberal college brat!

[grgoldner]

What college I.M.A.D.U.M.B.A.S.S.? I'm a done there redneck come git me you yankee folk. Ha Ha.

[grgoldner]

Retarted is spelled R E T A R D E D. Skynard is spelled S K Y N Y R D.

Harcore is spelled H A R D C O R E.

Stupid is spelled S T U P I D.

[stride7860]

Your metal bands love Skynard, so you sound stupid

[grgoldner]

It's Skynyrd dopey.

[houmaboy22]

did billy powell die ?

[CKBBontabeachbum]

FUUUUUUUUUUCK  YEAHHHHH !!!!!

Seeing 'em June 27th in Tampa !!!!!

Hope John 5 shows up !!!!!

[wtfterryrulez]

bad ass this sounds amazing

[coldhitz]

Sweet !

[azar209]

John 5 is amazing. Can't wait to hear the album.
