[GreenKnightPendragon]

Lynard Skynard??? Seriously? XD

[DanielleCarpe]

Such a good relaxing song! I could fall asleep to it every night

[TheAuthor66]

This song makes me cry XD . . . It's just the message.

[TheElainej59]

[MW2beast12345678910]

i came here cuz of 18 wos of steel

[CooperTroopa]

[younandotube666]

[alabamagirl49]

for my son Jeffery.

[THERiffRandell]

I gotta see these guys live two years ago, tommorow... Good times, good times... That would have been my first rock concert EVER!

[nero044]

What could have been had tragedy not payed a visit to these 7 musicians, we will always wonder.

[TomBrandon121]

30 people are complex men,

[annie67820]

cette chanson me tiens très à coeur,en souvenir d'une personne chère à mon coeur et qui nous a quitté..

[nonphixional1]

man what a voice

[chance501]

@nonphixional1 The best then and still to this day Ronnie Van Zant and LS. Todays Skynyrd just doesnt compare.

[spik3ymik3]

I'm just aSimpleKindaMan everyone!!!!!!

[Kesutzo]

Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.

Follow you heart and nothing else.

*-*

[84curitiba]

great song! great band!

[19spain93]

I GOT THIS ON MY PHONE TODAY: "10/22/77 Three members of rock group Lynrd Skynrd are killed in a plane crash in Mississippi". R.I.P

[MrPeckerwood69]

we dont need the british to jam in the USA! we definetly dont need any fucking wiggers!

[bw48west]

learn to spell before you trash GREAT music bigkebrah

[brennanthebrown]

@bigkebrah u mad ? this shit is mad phat

[inlineismobetta]

@bigkebrah Learn to spell you idiot,Eminem is not even the same kinda music,its rap,and for your knowledge,Lil Wayne is the best rapper!get with the times idiot!

[6789out]

me two lost my wife a few years back me and my three daughters are happy not rich but every time i look at them im reminded why i bust my ass every day .its the simple things in life i like best

[MrPeckerwood69]

@6789out

yes sir! very sorry for your loss

[ANorthernParadise]

This is an awesome song. It's so true. You can have all the money in the world; you can be out there to impress everyone but we're all animals with basic needs. I'm planning to get a good job to get by well in society but if I have my family and a loving relationship with a woman I'll be quite content no matter what happens in life.

(I hate to rant but that's just how the song made me feel :P)

[bulldog32220]

@ANorthernParadise so true! ive lived by this song all my life, im not rich but i have my small farm a good job a loving woman and im happy my bills are paid and my life is good, i may not have millions and be famous but im rich in other ways

[DEWGEEONE]

Mama knew... Been in love with this song since it came out. can't remember the year but hey, if i did, i could not have been there. It means more since mom is gone too. love ya Mama!!

[413NOTSREHTAEF]

I want this song played at my funeral.

[AlbiaGame]

@413NOTSREHTAEF Who doesn't?

[AlbiaGame]

@413NOTSREHTAEF Who doesn't?

[GreenJokerToker]

@Craftzeh When they use it incorrectly, yes. Especially when they're trying to prove a point like he was.

It's 2011. Why do people still give a shit about stuff like dislikes on a song? YouTube should remove the comment system entirely, in my opinion.

[strawser1977]

Greatest band ever!

What a loss since the plane crash! If you haven't watched the movie you need too! I own it ! One band I really wish I had gotten to see live!

[strawser1977]

Greatest band ever!



[MJRiley878]

@strawser1977 um no they are not ...they are good

[SirVladamire]

if your one of the 29 people who hated this song your so fucking stupid that there isn't even a reason for you to be that fucking stupid you guys suck the cock this song rocks fuck everyone who hated this song or disliked it hope you get hit by a fucking frieght traing

[GreenJokerToker]

@SirVladamire you're*

[Schizm1]

I'm huge fan of Skynards, so I was really suprised (in a good way) when I heard this in Supernatural :) Great scene btw.

[tygillman]

This song makes me want to VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!!!!

[KarlosXcore]

My mama told me when I was young, "we're all born superstars" Dude Lady Gaga ripped Skynard off xD

[casperundead666]

[msiebert1983]

[thebmxking2013]

[14GreenBall]

[daveyboysmyth]

[rodriguezg100]

@inewildoo585 oh Dean! :)

[propain101proof]

awesome song...awesome band.

[ryanmtanner]

@propain101proof Damn straight

[clintdejong]

why are you seeing the shinedown song as a cover and not as a tribute to a great song thats the way i see it

shinedown made a cover of it becouse it is awesome and sounds super great consider it as a honor instead of like a crime to cover it

[Misfitsix1]

WIDKMO 

[theyrdaydreamers]

Some ones end came today.For they think they know it all.lol

[thedondy]

awsome tune

[charadeyouareha]

First song I ever learned on Guitar ♥

[jreaper86]

the greatest

[ViceSaw]

every time he sing: "boy, dont you worry, you'll find yourself, follow your heart and nothing else" i cry a lot.

[theyrdaydreamers]

@ViceSaw Cry know more.But know life is a trip,and i mean it is a lot of trips out here.Fall not in the hands of others.But be strong.

[CUDDLES55]

really wish the originals were all still here with us today, seeing all the other older bands come back for a second time pales to what it would be like if these guys were able to come back with us - IMO

[punkisinked]

cheeyyyyaaaa

[RomanovMetal]

Sounds very similar with the Scorpions's ALways Somewhere..

[whiteangel1211]

this one is for my wonderful son Chris,who is now 28 years old. He told me that this is his favorite song and when he hears it, he thinks of me. I guess he was listening,he turned out to be a wonderful man. He will be getting married soon. i hope this turns out to be his childs favorite song. I love you my baby. mwaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

[richardadams30]

@whiteangel1211 congrads.!

[Elva89]

This is my life.

[charcarol39]

this is for you ronnie....... my oldest son <3

[Pwnzjeeeh]

It is Lynyrd Skynyrd, not Lynard Skynard

[MachineHeadDissent]

@Pwnzjeeeh Yeah man......How the Fuck do you misspell the Title of the BAND?????.....and get a half million views without changing it????

[Pwnzjeeeh]

@MachineHeadDissent hahhhha. look at other videos on youtube. every one of them are LYNYRD SKYNYRD. :)

btw. great song. greets from CROATIA

[cryswestside]

@MachineHeadDissent  I AGREE 4 FCKSAKES !! YOUNG FCKEN PUNKS LISTENING TO OUR MUSIC ARE STIPUD AS HELL.. LMAO LMAO

[chappychapman99]

its mind blowing!!!  Please correct the spelling!

[MachineHeadDissent]

@chappychapman99 Bottom line is it's an Insult to the memory of the original line up who recorded this song.....Plus it takes all of 20 seconds to change the spelling.......Half a Fucking million views....Unreal......

[Screamers123]

yea, what's with all the n bombs being thrown around. Ronnie loved the blues, which was music created by African-americans. he even had a song, " the ballad of Curtis Lowe." about a black man. Remember Skynyrd were from the south, but were not racist. not one of um. beautiful song ronnie

[PinkMelodyRose]

My mommy told me when I was young, we are all born superstars

[Xianman06]

Thanks for sharing. Please take a brief moment to visit Incogman.net my brothers!

[juliesmith66]

wow

[iloveliquid1]

wot a powerfull song.. i dont normally like this type of music but meanfull lyrics are allways a winner!

[jaerbear881]

all 25 people that hit that dislike button deserve to burn in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dowen3325]

if all these songs were the hymns in the bible i might be at at church on sundays but they aint so ill just sit right here and finish up my quart of moonshine!! R.I.P. RVZ!!!!!!

[HPG45]

So much better than the Shinedown cover. Glad to hear the original being played on the radio now more than the crappy cover.

[jeromehazelwood]

i could not agree more,lets not ruin a great moment and song-this songs message is universal-these were things that i was taught by my mother and father.the song brings tears to my eyes guys-skynyrd rocks!

[salupaginahit]

the vitriol and bitterness on these comments are contrary to the song...nigger is not a race.it's an attitude.white and black racists are both niggers...the rest are just simple people.

[jeromehazelwood]

im black and i like it -so save your racism guys listen to the song that you say you like so much-lynyrd skynyrd RULES!

[fairump2003]

@jeromehazelwood

Music transends race brother. Glad you are enjoying some great music. This type of music started with people of your color. In the end, if We are cut we both bleed Red, the the pigment of our skin is not a barameter of our Soul.

[MegaBob77777]

I saw Skynyrd in 74, they opened for J Geils, and no one really knew them well. By the end of their show, we were goin wild! They were AWESOME live, and a kick ass, Rock n Roll band. When Geils came out, we were still yellin for Skynrd to come back on. One of the greatest bands ever. If they hadnt died in the plane crash of '77, God only knows how big they wouldve been. RIP boys, you Rock!

[jasperswife2987]

A band that played this song at battle of the bands at my school sounded just like them it was awesome im a huge fan of this song so i was by the stage with my friends waving my arms and singing the song lol. Lynyrd Skynyrd is in my opinion the best southern rock band!

[maiawashere]

[Blizzardfairy]

This is one of the best songs ever. It's the ringtown for my son! Hope everyone listens well and likes this!

[Blizzardfairy]

This song makes me think of my son. He is so struggling right now. I love him, but he is going to pay legally for his mistakes. God help him because I can't.  I hope he learns from his mistakes.

[Blizzardfairy]

[hutchb302]

Miss my budy Kurt tonight. I just found out he passed. We used to play this over and over in his studio. A brilliant musician and great friend. I can see my drummer shaking his head as we play this for the tenth time in an hour. God bless Ronnie and Kurt.

[caduguidi]

[Dave0415]

nice.

[caduguidi]

RIP........30 years today

[vcough]

@caduguidi think you mean 33?

[flamereeper]

This goes out to my wonderful sons, and all the young teenage boys who are coming into manhood!

[SeminoleNative]

did ya know they took their famous name from a teacher from their HS ... it was pe teacher or math teacher cant remember...lol I guess the teacher gave them issues lol...and they would practice and thought of name of what they would name themselves when they became famous and He (the teacher) is all that at that time came up with...pretty amazing ..?!!

[Beatles4Evr426]

@SeminoleNative lol yeah, it was their PE teacher. Apparently he really got on their nerves

[ty2ubc55]

Great song,Thanks for sharing..

[thedarknessofsatan]

RIP

[ragen2son]

Mama told of alot of do's and don'ts, has anyone lived to fast? Trying to be as simple as I can ;)

[11humboldt]

too bad i am too young to have ever seen these guys, wish i could just goo back before my time thats when all my music was made, man i hate all main streem music these guys knew what they were doing, keep rocking!!!!!!!!!

[svalencourt]

@11humboldt Well said, but music is hopefully forever. You can still enjoy & take from this in your life, as I have. They died when I was teenager, but as an unfortunate side efftect, it brought them more into the mainstream, just like Elvis. His untimely death may have made him live on forever, Artists, especially songwiters are very deep thinking, emotional people. The real ones leave it to us to interprate their meaning. That's the beauty of music,,,Keep rocking!!!!

[11humboldt]

@svalencourt hey thanks for the positive feedback. and your right they soo epic everyone of there songs can be applyed to everyone they always have that deep meaning especially to me, keep on Rocking!! Bro..

[Chelleypop]

I have grown up listening to these boy's ..

I have evry album they made =-)

They Did Rock ..

Sorry I Am A True Blue Ronnie Vansant Fan ..

[xthexdarkestxredx]

It is is really sad that only two people in the picture are still living. Artimus Pyle and Gary Rossington. (Middle guy in the middle with the beard and person directly to the right of him)

[StartContaversy1]

[geargrinderr]

RIP. Doug 

[Nodack]

More like Leonard Skinner. He was their high school PE teacher at Robert E Lee High School and that's where the band got their name.

[demonchild42777]

is one of the great ones they may be gone but will never ever be forgotten

[TakerFan72]

Ronnie sang his ass off on this track,so soulful and honest...this is REAL music,Southern and bluesy..a great message.

[BaleLover32]

For my son Owen..

[MeritisDE]

The rich man got his gold from you. Remember that before going off with your worthless calvinist rants.

[Naruto4tailed]
