I am tired of morons posting here that because Ronnie isn't in the band it's not Skynyrd. Allen Collins, Ricky Medlocke, are original members. Johnny is the younger brother of Ronnie and they bring the music to future generations... I loved Ronnie and don't think Skynyrd's new music is anywhere near as good as the old stuff but then neither is anyones music who was famous in the 70's. Kiss, Rush, Skynyrd, Journey, Stones, Aerosmith etc.. nothing to do with the singers... just the times.
Billy Powell was an awesome rock pianist. The sheet music for his solo on "Sweet Home Alabama", along with a couple of his other solos, can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm.
I am white The Confederate flag turns me off!!! there is 1 falg ..that represents the WHOLE counrtry...P.S Stop living in the past and you lost that one...
@hardsly You're a moron for thinking that. That flag is a part of history, and if you had distant relatives that died fighting with the confederacy then your gonna honor them. So quit with the "boo hoo that flag = i hate black people", because that's not what it's about.

in this band there was still 3 originals, rossington, medlocke, who played the drums in the early years with them, and powell, and yes people are going to pass away at some point in anyones life, and they move on from that and thats what there doing, you dont just give up if you still like playing the music, and gary helped right alot of those songs and if he wants to play them , let em
u all wrong only 3 died in the plane crash in 1977 from the group n the guy singing now in the video is johnny the bro of ronnie who died in the plane crash n yes 2 more did die on in 1990 n this year why dont u ppl read up on thm in here or google before u judge thm
@leighen No Allen, No Ronnie = No Skynyrd. This is a joke. It's like having Ringo start up the Beatles or say Carl Wilson start up the Beach Boys again. You like the songs? You want to hear the songs? Listen to the recordings. This is just embarrassing.
@j2867261 A FREAKIN MEN People really ned to take a chill pill with all this racisist shit. I mean before they start bitching about what they don't understand get educated for God sakes!!!
its not racism or a kkk flag its a battle flag and the people that fought in that war might not have been fighting for the right thing but they believed there were and its a symbol of the south it doesnt mean what it use to it means your a good ole souther boy who gets along with anyone who wants to get along with you things can change u know something doesnt have to stand for what it originally stood for
They WERE fighting for the right thing asshole. THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE. NOT SLAVERY. God Bless SKYNYRD AND DIXIE AND THE CONFEDERATE FLAG!
also to add the Confederate flag shown here is a Battle flag an that's what alot of ppl fly! just as equal to the German Battle Flag in ww2. an no the German battle flag is NOT a damn Swastika for you dumbass out there.
Seen them in concert in Eufaula,Ok 2 weeks ago and they rocked the house..By far one of the greatest bands..Played every classic song you could think of..
You are so lucky HaX80r that you were there. They are truly amazing. I've never seen them live myself but I know that they are playing in Toronto next August. Although I live near Montreal and Toronto is 6 hours away, I will spend all my savings just to go see them this once. I simply cannot pass this. I listen to their music all the time. And hell, I am 55 years old. Never too old to rock & roll. Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their music is making history as we speak.
It's called Liberalism, the mental disorder. Ignored completely in South. Libs that move here end up on Prozac (if they're not already on it). We love f*cking with them.
Skynyrd's second album, 1974's Second Helping, featured their most popular single, Sweet Home Alabama, a tongue in cheek answer song to Neil Young's Alabama and Southern Man. Today, Young claims that he and Van Zant were not rivals, but that they were actually fans of each other's music and good friends, and they had talked of collaborations together. Young was even going to give his song, Powderfinger, to Lynyrd Skynyrd to perform.
My first thought was to ask if you were a retard, but obviously you can type. First off, the Neil Young t-shirt burial was an urban legend. Second of all, you should research the Confederate flag. Did it stand for slavery? Your right, lets do away with the Confederate flag. While we are at it lets get rid of Martin Luther King Day, the N.A.A.C.P. and Black history month too. Fair is fair......
let me tell you something you stupid stereotyping fuck, the flag is not represented as hating colored folk probably like your self, its our heritage, in our blood, in our vanes, and in our family, people like you just piss me off, learn a buch more about our flag and then we will talk
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Now, this is truly pathetic. The heart, brains and soul of the band, Ronnie obviously, died decades ago and these has-beens are still muddling along. The singer even holds the mike the same way. Very creative, boys.
the original confederate flag was a christian flag.. The X is a Cross, and the 12 stars are for the 12 apostles.. with one in the middle for the big man.
Original Confederate flag was "Stars and Banners" replaced in 1863 by "Stainless Banner" and at end in 1865 by Third National. The flag with cross is battle flag of Army of Northern Virginia. And is one of more than 180 flags used as a Confederate battle flags.
Looking at all these comments and hatred makes me feel sick inside - please please chill out, where is the love and the peace here guys? this is a great song and thanx for posting it.... there is so much hatred in the World - it's awful to see such anger on here too.. :(
dude i was fucking there. I looked like a skater/hippie (and so did my friends that went, note: never wear rainbows, skateboarding hoodies, Volcom shirts, and light blue skateboarding jeans to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert) so we stuck out like hell, and I had to buy a Lynyrd Skynyrd belt buckle to fit in. Everyone else wore cowboy boots, hats ect.
haha we thought some drunk guy was gonna beat us up.
I wont comment on yankees, as long as theyre all american :-) did you know yankee came from dutch names jan and kees? theyre common boynames. I live in the netherlands, but would trade it for the USA in a heartbeat <3 And have a soft spot for the south, oh yeah!
I guess that if anyone ever comments on a video on YT, it has to be about loving the video. I thought it was to express my opinion, but apparently people can't express their opinion anymore. Also, I guess a confederate flag isn't a sign of confederacy anymore. (WTF?)
I have nothing against southern people, and I know that Alabama's full of good people. I just wish that people wouldn't send hate remarks over a video on YT.
Hey ya'll I just found this really funny site, THEREDNECKLOUNGE . com it was hilarious I dang near sprained something laughing so hard.You have got to check it out when you are done here...
>_> Most so-called 'Southerners' are racist bigots who hate everyone from a different part of their own country. Really why can't we just have unity here, what's done is done, Confederates lost the war years ago, it's history now, stop arguing about things that happened over 100 years ago.
no most southerners are not racist bigots. and for someone to judge something they know nothing about. you must be one ignorant person. so dont go judgeing things you dont know anything about.
you know provaka, it's funny how you say we are the haters but look at all the people in the comments(including you)that have been putting us southerners down, it looks like you are the bigots here, we do have unity in the u.s. and we're only arguing about the civil war because you guys keep bringing it up saying the flag is racist and all, you've been watching too much family guy
BOB BURNS LYNYRD SKYNYRDS CO FOUNDER AND DRUMMER OUR SITE
We have him July 2005 one year before he and Lynyrd Skynyrd got inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame playing 20 LYNYRD SKYNYRD CLASSICS!!!this video and two others Sweet home and bird are the only known footage of Bob playing drums.We have him playing 20.
Bob played with our band if you miss watching all these videos in their entirety then you have missed something great!!
Yes that is a confederate flag. He has two different microphones. When he sings red, white, and blue he has an American flage tied on it and on the other songs he has the confederate flag. If you have ever been to a Skynyrd concert there are confederate flags on the stage in the crowd and everywhere.
even al must recognize that some people identify with the heart of south, by using con. flags....i have no problem with it....lynrd skynrd is the best......YEHAAA!
shut your fucking mouth. you are full of trash to be calling the south that. the south is full of good people. unlike you who judge things you dont even know. so you are the one who is full of trash.
you guys just ignore that pokaman (yes i meant to spell it that way) boy he would never say it to our faces. hes probably still a virgin with a name like animepokemon. and what the hell is he doin watchin a skynyrd video. if he dont like it why does he go to it. you dont see me go to gay porn and say how stupid and wrong it is.
Hey animepocky no hard feeling, I just dont like steriotypes. When you insult everyone in the south thats my family, my blood, thats my best friends, my girlfriend and I dont like seeing the names of good people tarnished.
No sweat, man... Apology accepted... Don't let racist jerks get to ya... Every person out there has to deal with them sometime or another.. Even the racist people have to deal with other racist people talkin' crap about them.... Take care.. Back to more music..
Im really not a jackass but that one comment pissed me and my friend off. For being intitled to our comment and being called shit for really nothing, just made us want to sabotage this comment reel with garbage, and no we don't hate the south, we just hate that one person "punksucksdick". And dont be fooled by my name, this is actually my little brothers, I'm just to lazy to make an account of our own.
Tis true oldman, but it really seems every where me and my friend's go they're racist ppl as far as the eye could see, to tell the truth everyone is racist to some extent, some keep it to them selfs and some choose not to for no good reason, and WE really have no good reason but that when you go out side and see some jerk off saying a racist comment like nigger this, cracker that.
As a matter of fact, be careful that you don't become one of the bad apples everyone is ashamed of. People in the south are almost like a 'race' of people. We have different customs. If you hate people that're racist so much, stop being that way yourself.. You're no different than the people down here that flick off people not of their race. What they do, and what you do is equally wrong.
When I was there in Maryland, I saw girls (friends of the distant family I have there) with different guys every night, drugs, drinkin', parties (same thing as a 'hoedown') and a whole bunch of other crap. There's bad apples everywhere you go.
You mentioned aaaall these hurtful racist names...Where did you learn them from? That's right... I've been as far north as Maine for weeks, spent weeks in Pennsylvania, weeks in Maryland... It's nice, yeah... But just like the south, there's people there that I wouldn't be too proud of claming, either.... They're everywhere... Those select few 'bad apples..' But you don't deem the whole barrel of apples bad, just because you see a rotten one.
You mention racist people to me as soon as I get through saying "All men are created equal." To everyone down here, the south is known for God, kind people, good friends, good fishin', and some goooood music... I can't speak for the south as a WHOLE, but I can say that I'm nothing like the people that you've discribed, nor is any of my family or friends.
I told you that I view us, the north and the south, as equals, even though I love where I live. Then you have to go and put down everyone here, because of what you... see on TV? Perhaps you Googled "The South", and now you know what we're all about...
Tell me this oldman, will you send some more idealistic, cliched, hearty boy bullshit my way because we just love reading it. Everything on t.v. shows that the south stereotypes are harsh but soon will be what everyone thinks. So say all what you want, the south will be known for incest, bad grammer, trailer trash hoedowns, shotgun weddings, pig Wrastling, Big boy trucks, etc. Well boy howdy, we may be ignorant but come up to the north and that's what you are, a stereotype.
You are obviously clueless about the south, it's people, customs and what it ALL about.. Go put down things that you actually have a clue about.. When a man is proud of his woman, does everyone say "What's so good about HER, anyways?" No... The only people that do are jealous.. Same thing... It's being proud of something you love.... Now, you.... Quit showing your 'mental age', and get a life. Anybody agree with me?
I have a pretty good idea what the south is about, akward moments at the fair when the mayor of the town was caught fucking the prize winnig pig wearing lipstick.
Animepocky, there's nothin' wrong with big trucks, mud, the Dixie Chicks, 'Hoedowns' (the incest thing was just used in a derogatory way, and you know it.. I'm sure you'll be interested to know that the worst cases of incest are in other countries...look it up) and I think it's a pretty immature thing to put it all down when you have no idea what it's all about...
I enjoy seeing the friendly people like myself around here.. And that's what a lot of the south is about.... Just a bunch of farmers, hunters and fishermen.. Some people need to learn that you can be proud of something without making it out like it's better than everything else. (Even if you honestly believe it is)
I wouldn't live anywhere else.... The fishing, artifacts from the Native Americans, BBQ chicken, trucks and Lynard Skynard is what I was raised on... It's in my blood, and when you love something, you're proud of it... No, that doesn't make me, or anybody else any better than another man.. Southern country folks are pretty nice people most of the time.. Take a ride down any of the roads around here and watch every one of the guys in those 'big trucks' wave at you..
Ya, and then flip the bird to the niggers, spicks, mongols, and japs. The north is full of racist ppl, even blacks, and i would never want to live in such a closed minded garbage heap that is the south.
I have a bit of Native American in me.... Proud of that... Italian... Heck.... proud of that, too... I read somewhere that half the population of the south has some Native American in their Geneology somewhere down the line. Some of us were murdered, yes... But not murdered off.
I live in the south, and I'm proud of that. I'm sure if I lived in the north, I'd be proud of that, also.. Knowing that Lynard Skynard came from around here does make me feel kind of good... It's inspirational, to say the least.. Great men come from everywhere...the north, south, east and west.. There's nothing wrong with being proud of something. However, you shouldn't think you're better than anybody else because of your pride.. "All men are created equal.."
You kidding me? I hate pepsi, texas pete I never heard of, and nascar is the most stupidest thing I bared my eyes on. Fried chicken and barbecue sauce tastes the same anywhere you make it you r-tard. And no, Im not gonna kiss the south's ass because it's obese and full of warts bitch.
It bad when people in the north try and talk bad about us when they love the things we produce. Pepsi, texas pete, nascar, and a hole lot of other things. Where do you think fried chicken came from or Barbecue. You can kiss the souths ass you yankke bitch.

Now, this is truly pathetic. The heart, brains and soul of the band, Ronnie obviously, died decades ago and these has-beens are still muddling along. The singer even holds the mike the same way. Very creative, boys.

the original confederate flag was a christian flag.. The X is a Cross, and the 12 stars are for the 12 apostles.. with one in the middle for the big man.
alimakjames 4 years ago 4
Original Confederate flag was "Stars and Banners" replaced in 1863 by "Stainless Banner" and at end in 1865 by Third National. The flag with cross is battle flag of Army of Northern Virginia. And is one of more than 180 flags used as a Confederate battle flags.

dude i was fucking there. I looked like a skater/hippie (and so did my friends that went, note: never wear rainbows, skateboarding hoodies, Volcom shirts, and light blue skateboarding jeans to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert) so we stuck out like hell, and I had to buy a Lynyrd Skynyrd belt buckle to fit in. Everyone else wore cowboy boots, hats ect.
haha we thought some drunk guy was gonna beat us up.
But anyways, best concert ever. period.

oh shut up. this song isnt about the confederacy. ronnie wrote this song as a direct response to neil young in southern man.
he dispalays the flag at most concerts to show people the south isnt a bad place and is full of good people.

Are you going on drugs or something? Who wrote anything about the south being a bad place?

Yeah... But what does Neil Young has to do with this?
Werewolf211 4 years ago
I guess that if anyone ever comments on a video on YT, it has to be about loving the video. I thought it was to express my opinion, but apparently people can't express their opinion anymore. Also, I guess a confederate flag isn't a sign of confederacy anymore. (WTF?)
I have nothing against southern people, and I know that Alabama's full of good people. I just wish that people wouldn't send hate remarks over a video on YT.

Yes that is a confederate flag. He has two different microphones. When he sings red, white, and blue he has an American flage tied on it and on the other songs he has the confederate flag. If you have ever been to a Skynyrd concert there are confederate flags on the stage in the crowd and everywhere.

And dont be fooled by my name, this is actually my little brothers, I'm just to lazy to make an account of our own.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
It really gets to you. I personally am a white boy but most of my friends are not, and it pisses me off to see this happen every damn day.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
Tis true oldman, but it really seems every where me and my friend's go they're racist ppl as far as the eye could see, to tell the truth everyone is racist to some extent, some keep it to them selfs and some choose not to for no good reason, and WE really have no good reason but that when you go out side and see some jerk off saying a racist comment like nigger this, cracker that.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
As a matter of fact, be careful that you don't become one of the bad apples everyone is ashamed of. People in the south are almost like a 'race' of people. We have different customs. If you hate people that're racist so much, stop being that way yourself.. You're no different than the people down here that flick off people not of their race. What they do, and what you do is equally wrong.
Oldman1700 4 years ago
When I was there in Maryland, I saw girls (friends of the distant family I have there) with different guys every night, drugs, drinkin', parties (same thing as a 'hoedown') and a whole bunch of other crap. There's bad apples everywhere you go.
Oldman1700 4 years ago
You mentioned aaaall these hurtful racist names...Where did you learn them from? That's right... I've been as far north as Maine for weeks, spent weeks in Pennsylvania, weeks in Maryland... It's nice, yeah... But just like the south, there's people there that I wouldn't be too proud of claming, either.... They're everywhere... Those select few 'bad apples..' But you don't deem the whole barrel of apples bad, just because you see a rotten one.
Oldman1700 4 years ago
You mention racist people to me as soon as I get through saying "All men are created equal." To everyone down here, the south is known for God, kind people, good friends, good fishin', and some goooood music... I can't speak for the south as a WHOLE, but I can say that I'm nothing like the people that you've discribed, nor is any of my family or friends.
Oldman1700 4 years ago
I told you that I view us, the north and the south, as equals, even though I love where I live. Then you have to go and put down everyone here, because of what you... see on TV? Perhaps you Googled "The South", and now you know what we're all about...
Oldman1700 4 years ago
Come on, more plz, dance with me son, dance with me.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
Tell me this oldman, will you send some more idealistic, cliched, hearty boy bullshit my way because we just love reading it. Everything on t.v. shows that the south stereotypes are harsh but soon will be what everyone thinks. So say all what you want, the south will be known for incest, bad grammer, trailer trash hoedowns, shotgun weddings, pig Wrastling, Big boy trucks, etc. Well boy howdy, we may be ignorant but come up to the north and that's what you are, a stereotype.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
You are obviously clueless about the south, it's people, customs and what it ALL about.. Go put down things that you actually have a clue about.. When a man is proud of his woman, does everyone say "What's so good about HER, anyways?" No... The only people that do are jealous.. Same thing... It's being proud of something you love.... Now, you.... Quit showing your 'mental age', and get a life. Anybody agree with me?
Oldman1700 4 years ago
I have a pretty good idea what the south is about, akward moments at the fair when the mayor of the town was caught fucking the prize winnig pig wearing lipstick.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
Animepocky, there's nothin' wrong with big trucks, mud, the Dixie Chicks, 'Hoedowns' (the incest thing was just used in a derogatory way, and you know it.. I'm sure you'll be interested to know that the worst cases of incest are in other countries...look it up) and I think it's a pretty immature thing to put it all down when you have no idea what it's all about...
Oldman1700 4 years ago
I enjoy seeing the friendly people like myself around here.. And that's what a lot of the south is about.... Just a bunch of farmers, hunters and fishermen.. Some people need to learn that you can be proud of something without making it out like it's better than everything else. (Even if you honestly believe it is)
Oldman1700 4 years ago
I wouldn't live anywhere else.... The fishing, artifacts from the Native Americans, BBQ chicken, trucks and Lynard Skynard is what I was raised on... It's in my blood, and when you love something, you're proud of it... No, that doesn't make me, or anybody else any better than another man.. Southern country folks are pretty nice people most of the time.. Take a ride down any of the roads around here and watch every one of the guys in those 'big trucks' wave at you..
Oldman1700 4 years ago
Ya, and then flip the bird to the niggers, spicks, mongols, and japs. The north is full of racist ppl, even blacks, and i would never want to live in such a closed minded garbage heap that is the south.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
I have a bit of Native American in me.... Proud of that... Italian... Heck.... proud of that, too... I read somewhere that half the population of the south has some Native American in their Geneology somewhere down the line. Some of us were murdered, yes... But not murdered off.
Oldman1700 4 years ago
I live in the south, and I'm proud of that. I'm sure if I lived in the north, I'd be proud of that, also.. Knowing that Lynard Skynard came from around here does make me feel kind of good... It's inspirational, to say the least.. Great men come from everywhere...the north, south, east and west.. There's nothing wrong with being proud of something. However, you shouldn't think you're better than anybody else because of your pride.. "All men are created equal.."
Oldman1700 4 years ago
You kidding me? I hate pepsi, texas pete I never heard of, and nascar is the most stupidest thing I bared my eyes on. Fried chicken and barbecue sauce tastes the same anywhere you make it you r-tard. And no, Im not gonna kiss the south's ass because it's obese and full of warts bitch.
animepocky7654567 4 years ago
It bad when people in the north try and talk bad about us when they love the things we produce. Pepsi, texas pete, nascar, and a hole lot of other things. Where do you think fried chicken came from or Barbecue. You can kiss the souths ass you yankke bitch.
