That Smell...Lynyrd Skynyrd

[shern39]

My baby sister, Rose Hern, that passed away at an early age, she was too young to die, loved this song. This was her favorite song. I dedicate this song to her. I love and I miss you Rosey. Godbless you and may you rest in Heaven in peace.

[HordeFTL]

@omglolwtfmudkips This was actually written about guitarist Gary Rossington, he got high and crashed his new car into an oak tree

[RockWithJon]

Cool you remember those days

[tubetube1221]

johnny van zant sucks....he can't begin to sing anywhere near as well as his brother Ronnie and shouldn't even try....it kills me how his shitty singing ruins the great lynryrd skynyrd songs.

[iSlash96]

@tubetube1221 what should he do? just leave it or keep the spirit goin on... so you want to kill the skynyrd spirit and listen to gaga? good luck. listen to free bird and simple man live in nashville.. great vocals

[52Mrchuckie]

@tubetube1221 It's a good thing that just your opinion. We know how bad opinions stink when they're not with ours.

[bagobuilder]

@tubetube1221 And I suppose you could do better! I don't see you in this video, and never will. Go back to masturbating on your mother's panties...fucking tool!

[ShayLee0501]

Is that Johnny Van Zandt? Fuck he looks like Ronnie!

[wackjob1000]

This song is about the smell coming off my stinky balls

[Rocky169]

Can't say I identify with the lifestyle or the grooming, but the music is still incredible, 30+ years later! HT, GR, RM on guitar, Dale on b/u vocals. Still my favorite piece to play. Picks me up when I'm feeling blue. How about you?!

[LynSkyn1981]

[ter50]

As much as I love Ronnie, I have to say that Johnny has a better voice. RIP Ronnie and keep on rockin' Johnny! A Skynyrd fan from Italy, place of shitty music :(

[blindasboot]

Hey wheres the confederate flag?

[HordeFTL]

@blindasboot I believe on this particular show it appeared when they started playing Sweet Home Alabama

[daher650]

Stupid question but Gary Rossington is the one at 3:20 right ? He's so different.

[1jackiepuppet]

@daher650 ya , he got bloated

[atlbraves1025]

This song is about black ppl they smell bad

[Diontjuhz]

[SuperAnon2012]

This song reminds of the 80's and way to much partying LOL. What an era the 80's were. I love this song though reminds me of poster of Delorean car bursting through a mountain of coke LMAO. Ahhh the memories thank god they are just that :)~.

[SuperAnon2012]

This song reminds of the 80's and way to much partying LOL. What an era the 80's were.

[MrHurricaneIKE]

The first time I had my license I asked to drive around at night. I did, smoked a doobie and this song came on. That was Feb 3, 1978. I was a damn heathen then on my way to Hell. I woke up late to the Lord but I do remember the intensity of this song as I drove at night for my first time.

[quartsboy]

@MrHurricaneIKE amen 4 u im a Christian 2

[Crazyriders07]

[ragansr]

Read the book!!! Then you will know the truth!!!

[ragansr]

Wrong!! The song was created whe Gary Rossington wrecked his new car to an Oak tree. Ronnie said you can smell the death's around you!! Made the song!

[11humboldt]

"oak tree get out of my way" damn it !!!!!!!!!!! love it this is a song for everyone who has lived the simple life, keep rockin

[horrerfan555666]

[noles411]

Best Skynyrd song ever!!!!

[sirlonghair]

it a song about driving under the influence that smell he is referring to is gasoline spilling from the car he rolled wile trashed. wake up are you trying to kill yourself is the message.it may be to late if you smell that smell you fool one more blow before I go

[Coasterdude02149]

@sirlonghair Wasn't it in reference to the smell of heroin cooking?

[sirlonghair]

@Coasterdude02149 no the reference is to an actual accident jimmy had leaving a party the gas spilling all around him was the smell

[sirlonghair]

@Coasterdude02149 no the reference is to an actual accident Ronny V. had leaving a party he rolled a car and the smell of gas leaking all over woke him up to his own stupidity and he wrote this song wonder if he ever drove trashed again?

[Coasterdude02149]

@sirlonghair LOL! That'd be all the wake up call I'd need!

[dragonfitter]

@Coasterdude02149 i would of thought so is always called the smell of death

[Coasterdude02149]

@dragonfitter I have no idea what smack smells like-that's one substance I never tried and was never around the couple people I knew of that did do it on occasion. H scared me

[dragonfitter]

@Coasterdude02149 first time i ever did smack was by mistake my brother told me it was weed and we smoked it on tin foil as he said that was the best way to smoke weed ! imagine spiking your own brother with smack i was only 15

[cristoff25ify]

[racknricky]

[ghvideos427]

[spik3ymik3]

@ghvideos427

So what's the story behind Lynard skynard's that smell?

[psych0p4t3]

@spik3ymik3 A member got a car accident driving drunk or high (prolly both) and they made a song about that.

[TheFelix91]

3:29 the guitar, the hair, the hat, he totally looks like a corpulent version of Slash^^

[rockinredneck57]

@TheFelix91 Slash just wishes he was Gary Rossington!

[TheFelix91]

@rockinredneck57 i've never seen it that way, haha^^ But maybe you're right^^

[BeltwayGreg]

This song saved me back in the 70s. Ronnie spoke to my soul in a way that no friend or therapist could ever do. You did not live not did you die in vain my friend.

[TheJonnydaniels]

[DirkjeA]

Great song, great band, wish they would come to Europe, or better said Holland soon. I know this band for so long now, they keep touching my heart every time again and again....

[jgissexy12]

Haha me And my friends sing this song when this smelly dude walks by us!

[DirkjeA]

@jgissexy12 What a silly comment and stupid behaviour, better tell him he has a body odeur so he can do something about it. What age are you? 12????

[garth8062]

Best double lead in rock history next would be hotel Calif
