  • @mahagga

    ill be honest im not really a bike guy, when it comes to bikes i just go by what i think looks good lol, i do love american cars though. an you do know american idol is actually a remake of a british tv show called 'pop idol' right? lol.... how could i hold that against you if anything we should be apologising to you lol..... and dont worry on lady gagme..... we gave you spice girls so consider it a done deal lol

  • As for this Virginian, I am ready to turn my will and life over. I sure can't run it!

  • Long live the GREAT SKYNYRD NATION people...

  • i drink beer

    

  • old skynrd is great new sux

  • this shit right here jams no matter black white up north down south you dont like this something is wrong with you

  • I didn't know Ronnie Van Zandt was a heroin addict.

  • @brnleague99 he never did herion idiot

  • Nothing goes better with Skynyrd than a bottle of Beam and a sappy jibb.

  • gimme drugs

  • Stay strong and clean people!

  • being an addict is a disease assholes. And if nobody cared about helping drug addict like yourself then alot more people would become addicts. So who the fuck cares? People who know the war it is to stay clean. Everyones playing the game of life..um or we wouldnt be alive.I deserve applause because I am fucking clean and if I wasnt I would and I saw u in person while i was strung-out I would have robbed you or maybe even killed u . Thats all I gotta say so fuck u and have a nice day!

  • skynyrd is amazing!! love my southern brothers! all there songs are bad ass!

  • Who the fuck cares about all you "ex-druggies" and shit. Dont get on youtube looking for an applause for being clean. Holy shit. Welcome back to life. Now play the fucking game like everyone else and enjoy the music. No one cares about your habit.

  • WHO THE FRUIT LOOPS DOESNT LOVE SKYNYRD!!!

  • YUP I AM GONNA RELAPSE AFTER 3 FUCKIN YEARS ....... FUCK IT

  • @1996emmo PLEASE DON'T...its not worth it...3 fukin' years all for nothing!! You relapse and have to start all over again!!!!!!!! THINK AGAIN!!!!!

  • @1996emmo really, i bet you wont, if your HP stops you, bet you cant let it. or can you. maybe you haven't had enough insanity of becoming amongst the walking dead. relapse always happens in the brain before one picks up, it's cuz they wanted to drug more than stay sober, self pitty, slack off on reaching out to their sponsor and meetings, hope you dont die if u pick up, no second chances or third chances after that one. hope you defuse the bomb and remain sober, day at a time. just 4 one day

  • @frankenboston Thanks from our 12 stepper!

  • My 2 favorite bands-Skynyrd,Rush

    Both tell storys, either true or fantasy storys in their songs

    This song is so true and anti drug, songs like Comin home, Balad of Curtis Lowe, Mississippi Kid,Gimme 3 steps,and so many more. Storys like 2112 and Bytor and the Snow dog or Farewell to Kings. Cygnus X1, 2 different bands that got really popular around the same time. I feel really blessed to grow up when music was really meaningful.

  • nothen like the truth !!!!love ya skynyrd !!!

  • This is my second favorite band after the "Pet Shop Boys".

  • @unfluster - you funny....

  • @lululapeache Not only funny. Sexy too!

  • i have been on tha point since i was 13, im 33 now and i cant understand why the fuck u guys are braggin about it, ther is only 4 ends, hospitals ,institutions, dereliqstion, and death,,,,,,,,,,

  • @tulpen76 48 brother. You're one of the smart ones. Been there. Turned it around. Still having a little problem with the Budweisers and the Marlboros, though.

  • @atomicpunk48 used to do anything that was put infront of me back in the day. now I just drink the occasional beer and smoke a bowl. never been happier

  • @ShAkEnBaBy420 I hear ya bro. I was the same way. Somehow I managed to turn it around. But I went thru hell for 15 years. Now I'm basically cleaning up the mess I made. Do I have any regrets? Sure, never got married and I've got no kids because I was always high. The girls I was hangin out with weren't the one's you'd want to marry. But I had a hell of a good time for a little while.

  • @atomicpunk48 yea being a druggys a real good time...

  • Damn lol. This song is almost a perfect match to me. Moved away, got hooked on oxycontin, percocets and vicodin, went to the moon, came back crying like a bitch to my dad lol

  • everytime a needle came my way i thought of this song, the verse, and i past, theres other ways to do drugs!!

  • if u dislike this you need kicked in the head.....just sayin

  • lynard skynard lived through that period of real life that was going on around them. i'm sure they probably "lived" a little of that too. but they sang reality of what was going on around them and knew when to slow down.but, some things you can"t change. people.lynard skynard sang the truth

  • @kernal616  people can only change thierselves.

  • people can only change themselves.

  • 'Seen a lot of people who thought they were cool, but then again I seen a lot of fools"....just put the needle on the end of a bullet, then fire the fuc away..same difference.

  • @MrBigmouthSmallbrain LOLXD BR0 REAL LIFE STUFF BRO

  • this is real music wish it hadn't died look at what we've got now the world would be better place if we still had this. at least Lynyrd Skynyrd still plays. that is basicaly a merical. thank god for Skynyrd

  • Oh My God ! Why is there any argument when great music is playing?! Somebody wants to use a needle and a spoon or a guitar string and a fork.. it's up to them ... so be it!

  • @4444ThinLizzy you tellem thats whats up

  • Who the fuck disliked this? Jackasses.

  • well im not a recovering junkie i still use a needle and a spoon everyday and i like it that way

  • @Pimphandswingin the honeymoon wont last forever

  • shark is gay

  • No shit,agreed!! We are here to jamm.Anyway at the end of the song he sang Don't mess with the needle and the spoon,listen again before slandering against them!!!Nobody can compare to this band and never will...

  • This has nothing to do with recovering junkies! They are speaking the truth about life!! Damn it! just like Neil Young and the song"needle and the damage done" They're telling you how it is! Lynyrd Skynyrd sing it like it is!! Damn it!

  • Of course weak-minded people are attracted to Religion, voting Republican and Drugs. What did you expect? They're weak-minded.

  • @beesleeper yep....repubs=fake/liars/thiev­es.......drug=fake escape from probs.......religion=completel­y phony

  • I fucking love this song so much.

  • I  hated to be hooked on dope. I am now on the methadone. I tsucks too but at least I can pay the rent!

  • Wait, so, were not supposed to make fun of drug-addicts? Wow, my entire life's been a lie..

  • apparently brendaeyespy led a sheltered life... u really should just shut the fuck up talkin bout addiction. just because i used to be an addict doesn't mean i am or ever was any less of a woman ...... matter of fact, it made me the strong woman i am today... which is far more than u could say 4 yourself... and to my fellow addicts.. much love and never give up on yourselves

  • There are no addicts, only people that are too damn stupid to say,NO!

  • @wlangley88 shit happens whore, id stick a needle in ur arm....bitch

  • @HayRay1992 Shit happens? Stupid shit happens to stupid people. U2 ignorant to know the difference between right and wrong? Sorry, dumbass, that's not a valid reason and U fuckin' know it.

  • @wlangley88 u are obviously an idiot

  • @01darksyde-If by being an idiot you mean I've got enough sense to know not to ever shoot up, smoke or snort up illicet drugs, I concur.

  • @wlangley88 (you cannot even SPELL 'illicit')I am college educated, come from a very good family,& called you an idiot,because you believe it's a matter of saying no,for everyone,&its not-SOMETIMES, yes, I will agree, it is a choice. For SOME people, in the beginning, there is a time when they could have said no. However,as a teenager on the late 70's/early 80s I started on a path, with small time social drugs, pot, acid, etc,that didn't 'seem' like a big deal in that era,that later exploded.

  • @wlangley88 Sometimes, one should belike the wise OLD owl, & not comment on what they do not know about...and I DO NOT mean to direct that only at you, WLangley88..there are a lot of comments on this page that shouldn't be here, including my own. Because even though I have my past,& the comments I see here hit a nerve, IT IS ABOUT THE MUSIC.

  • why do you relate your heroin addiction to homosexuality? sorry you had to suck cock for a hit asshole, don't use caps on me. If you are a cocksucker you allways will be. You should be dead fucker cause if you ever try to feel me I'll cut your dick off you faggot

  • "recovering" always wear all there stuff on there sleeve....all about choices....

  • If you have never had an addiction you really dont have the right to judge those who have/do.

  • Hey There,  I too spent 3 long ass years addicted to heroin until I was finally able to muster up the courage to get on methadone. Well...the methadone clinic director kicked me out of the program for not returning a fuckin' take home bottle. Needless to say I was able to find several prescriptions of the drug called Darvocet and I used them to ween myself off enough to go into treatment for 11 damn months. That 11 month period literally saved my life. Thank God !!!

  • and BY THER WAY OLE' OKIE SAM WILL KICK THE SHIT OUT OF ANY OF YOU PUNKS THAT THINKS THAT GETTIN OFF INTO THAT WORLD IS SO BAD,, MAN IT HAPPENS,, DONT TRY TO SAY ANY THING, BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU SAY JUST TELLS US YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE !!!!YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!! fuck you !!!!!!

  • STRAIGHT TO BRENDA EYE SPY --- WHY DONT YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF ////???? YOU MAKE ME SICK,, TALKIN' TO SKYNARDYOUTH LIKE THAT!!!!!!,,, I SWEAR, IF THIS OKIE COWBOY COULD CHOKE YOUR PUNK ASS OUT ,, I SWEAR , YOU LIBERAL PIECE OF SHIT,, FUCK YOU1!!!!!!!

  • @blameitonthefatkid99

    You fool .Ronnie wrote several songs to help his SOUTHERN brothers because we love to party and he saw and lost alot of his people to it.

    Hell, That Smell was written for one of the band. You search out which one.

    I was sober for 17 yrs and drank again. Almost killed me. I have 6 months now.

    I'm a 4X son of the South. I Love Jim Beam and Southern Women.

    You need a big cup of shut the fuck up. I'd slap the shit out of you. You souless punk!!!

  • @wthjrtx1 I hope you can do it man, keep it up.  You are not alone in this big world. There are others going threw the same shit you are. So take heart.

  • @wthjrtx1 THE DUMB FK just ain't got a clue.Right there with you bro.

  • @cutnedge63 yea im just a dumb fk who enjoys reading, playing skynyrd, and going to school. My future looks grim as soon I plan on graduating with and ISE degree from a higly accredited school in pursuit of a masters in logistics engineering. Im right there with you bro.

  • @blameitonthefatkid99 I'm sorry Fatkid,but I'm just not impressed by resumes that are in progress. Show me the finished product. BTW, where is your online degree you are "planning" coming from?

  • @wthjrtx1 get a grip mr. internet tough guy!

  • @sabbathrulz99

    Your an Asshole...I'm not a tough guy..I'm a SOUTHERN man..Why write to me? You wanna hug or somthing?

    Need a little attention there sweetie?

  • @wthjrtx1 Southern man better keep your head, don't forget what your good book said....

  • @clintonenewman then go listen neal young, and dont worry about us southern men, cause we damn sure ain't worried about you. I think synard said it best " southern man dont need him around anyhow".......

  • @wthjrtx1 That Smell was written for his brother Johnny.

  • @BamaMike7187 That Smell was written for Gary Rossington( Prince Charming) Allen Collins and Artimus Pyle who were all involved in either car/motorcycle crashes labor day...1976..

  • @BamaMike7187 wrong

  • @bcampbelltsc Look it up man.

  • @wthjrtx1 thank you I'm only 17 and I've been drinkin since I was a little kid and I'm still taking pills to help me with serosis of the liver and I can only eat a cheese sandwich otherwise I get sick tell that mother fucker straight up, you're damn right this shit has soul and that mother fucker dont.

  • @90zosoman09

    My God..I understand. We know how to do it. We just dont have a break pedal. Oops,Ouch. Oh shit I went to far. You jamming to Skynyrd and commenting is really cool. You made a great Southern friend here pal...

  • @90zosoman09I yea tell this mother fucker straight up, all I have to say to you sir is "Life is tough, Life is tougher when your stupid" - John Wayne

  • @blameitonthefatkid99

    LMAO....Yeah your right. But it never comes at you that way..It comes at us as fun and freedom .Then..Uh oh..Damn. I'm in it now. Well hell. Lets go with it. Stupid is too not stop and change. Oue exchange has brought alot of good responses but at your expense and that is not cool. You are taking one for the team and it is your call...You mean no harm and I do not either. I just know how dangerous drinkin and drugs are for some of us. terrible deal.

  • @wthjrtx1 honestly I'm not really against what anyone wants to do with their lives it's just hard to see people with the potential to make a differance in the world throw it away. I'm not sayin you can't have some fun along the way and I don't wont to sound preachy but I feel like there is a line crossed here and it's sad when it's someone you know.

  • @wthjrtx1 Alcohol has all but completely destroyed my life and hurt the people I love the most! I couldn't tell you how many times I've wanted/tried to stop but I always fool myself into thinking I can control it, and before you know it....

  • @HammerFist1970

    I know..Thats why Ronnie wrote this one and a few others for us and our Southern Brothers. He is spot on. We can stop and still have a great time..Hell. I have seen boys crazier than me come back from the edge to live pretty good lives. We are Southern so we have a leg up on them already...LOL

  • @wthjrtx1 "That Smell" was written for/about Gary Rossington, who did a few loods, got drunk, and ran his car into a oak tree.

  • @HellsAngelsofNC

    Ding,Ding,Ding...your right Tell him what hes won Johnny..LOL...two others wrecked cars at the same time.I flipped a couple trucks myself. Not fun. . I made it out ok. I still cant believe how lucky I was..

  • Comment removed

  • @wthjrtx1

    1) I'm sorry if I have offended you in anyway

    2) Again I came here for the Skynyrd as I previously stated, in no regards was I trying to single any one group of individuals out

    3) “Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option” Mark Twain

  • @blameitonthefatkid99 how long have u been using? i can put a 40 bag on my spoon and get 60 back. just gotta use a lil more water and rinse out my used rigs and bang that shit after the cook. just bang between ur toes so nobody knows.

  • @BangDirtyNeedles I really feel bad for you.  To have the devil running the show for you must suck . Shit why not shoot up were everyone can see , trust me you aint fooling anyone but yourself , hell shoot up in you neck. did your momma drop you on your head???

  • @blameitonthefatkid99 well then just watch the video, I know a few recovering junkies and for some reason this is one thing that helps them, Id rather them fill up a comment stream and stay clean then take the needle and the spoon. The comments dont impact the music at all so you do your thing and let them do theirs

  • @jakethesnake576 I was asked to delete the comment by wthjrtx1 and so I did for obvious reasons. I'm not really into the whole internet dramma thing.

  • The best thing I have ever done is leave my hometown and go to a place that allowed me to get away from the drugs. 22yrs free of drugs although I still love my drinks.

  • went down the dark , dark road of IV heroin abuse myself only 28 & lost so many dear friends , so young , such a waste .

  • I spent 14 years as a multiple IV drug user, it's NOT something you wanna do. I lost so many mates through this. :'-(

  • @mikegotteri I blew so much coke it aint eve funny and the sad thing is God saved me by allowing me to use mushrooms for 3 months straight, when the shrooms were gone I realized i aint used coke in 3 months and was literally un addicted. I blew 15 grand in 8 months to so it was a huge help to those who know shrooms AINT ADDICTIVE. God bless those who quit the needle or snort

  • @ChuckMokie Interesting. Tim Leary did some experiments with using psychedelics in combination with therapy to help addicts.

  • Why is that people can't spell LYNYRD SKYNYRD correctly? Seriously if you're just the slightest fan of em at least spell the name right...

  • Ive lost a few friends to this demon!I I dont think anyone should judge. This song has real meaning!!

  • These are nice people and treat them nice, Keep us all smiling without abuse forever past and present, Tammy Mast, Your Royal Countess, Savior Healer I did the searpent on this album cove, reminds me of science

    One of my old boy friends loved this song, back in the seventies, either 76 or 77, Smile UTAH THEN

  • These are nice people and treat them nice, Keep us all smiling without abuse forever past and present, Tammy Mast, Your Royal Countess, Savior Healer I did the searpent on this album cove, reminds me of science
