@dddggg44 -- I am SO sorry for your family's loss; please remind your Aunt that her father's not forgotten. The enjoyment of his music by new generations of fans will forever keep his Spirit alive. God Bless!
I am only 27 and ALWAYS listen to Skynyrd , your Aunts dad is the BEST guitarist EVER, in my eyes,ears and heart anyway!! AND let your Aunt know my lil 4 yr old girl watches and listens to them all the time and every time she watches Allen she says "Mommy, Can I play guitar like HIM one day?!!!!" SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES Allen and she is only 4 yrs old <3
@DannyBoyStoned yeah that's pretty cool man, I been wanting to got to Jacksonville and check out the city because of Skynyrd. I think to myself how cool it is growing up in the south (born/raised in Louisiana)..so to be able to be in the swamps and go fishing and be outside all the time is pretty cool, and I really relate to Ronnie and the boys.
@XxWicklexrX must be pretty cool man! they're the biggest reason i'm proud to be from the south...did you ever check out any of the "skynyrd landmarks"...like their houses an stufff?
@ibdiesel44 Ronnie was LS and the band today is just a band its not the LS band that Ronnie made and i don't think he would approve but that's just my opinion.its sad to see Gary use the LS name just for the money RVZ was above the money thing he wrote from his heart like Allen said.i keep hearing about Lennon and McCartney being the greatest rock song writers but people forget that Ronnie wrote the words to free bird so that makes him one of the great writers in rock music to.
@maverick10241 I disagree and think Ronnie would approve of the modern LS.
Rossington had his own band for a while. I imagine fans begging for a LS tribute band. It brings back memories and reminds us of the legends that were so big and lost so early even.
I used to play LS in rock bands in my younger days when they made Southern Rock big. They always went over well here in the South and will always be loved by many.
Rossington is helping keep the memory alive to some degree
@GenMata lets agree we don't agree lol but Judy was asked that same question when Allen died would Ronnie have approved of Gary version and she stated no he wouldn't.her reason was that Ronnie had said one time that LS was him, Allen and Gary and without those 3 he said it just wouldn't be LS.also i don't believe Ronnie cared that much for Ricky according to artimus.it could all be BS but gene also said that Ronnie didn't like Ricky all that much.its about the money now with Gary not the music
@maverick10241 Gary didn't want to get back together,but they got such a great response from the fans! The fans wanted them to do it.Gary is NOT doing it for the money,he doesn't need it.I agree,Ronnie was one of the greatest song writers of all time,but don't hate on Gary and the rest of the guys for keeping Ronnies,and Skynyrd music alive.
before they got famous I used to see them on the weekends are Greenfeilds riding stables for 50 cents. as a bonus usually youd get runnin easy and grinders switch too
I was at the show they are talking about here. It was at the Miami Marine Stadium. The CDB opened for Skynyrd & the promoters oversold the concert by 2,000 tickets & caused a RIOT!!! The pigs went to beatin' on people!!!
I wish I could have met Ronnie he seemed like a cool guy. I was born two weeks after the plane crash.
