Sometimes I think that I want to go off into the deepest darkest part of the swamp and never come out again. I don't fit at all into this world anymore.
This is the period when some members of this legendary band ganged on Ed King ..... so sorry then that I had to stop my allegiance to them cause' I missed Ed Kings guitar playing.......
hoklen farmer..im a big fan of skynyrd .ur not,his lil bro is carrying on the torch ,im sure ronnie would be proud of him,i saw them couple yrs ago in huntington wv.was a great show.so unless u know something i i dont STFU. ur snide remarks only prove ur not a fan but a critic.and who needs critics of great music.i suggest u have a drink or toke one ..something !! but chill out and listen next time u hear them they keep the band going and in the hearts of many new people
Ronnie VanZant wrote,or assisted in writing over 230 songs in less than 4 years!If the "TICKS" in Ronnie's family had allowed his legacy to rest like his death,the real Lynyrd Skynyrd would have been inducted into the Hall of Fame with in a year after his death!Oct/19/1977 in Greenville SC I seen there last Concert just hours before the plane crash?Johnnie?I've been too one too many of your making money off a dead brother?It was terrible!
Weird ... they are actually playing live on TV? ;O You mean they aren't lip-synching - like Ashley Simpson on SNL?! Are you telling me they actually respect their fans and know how to play instruments? Are you telling me they actually write/wrote their own songs about their lives? You're telling me that the band crashed and the world lost another great talent(s)? Long live Lynyrd Skynyrd! One of the best!
@rolesvill true, even with other classic bands it's hard to compare. however, centuryboatfan's comment (which I replied to) seemed to imply that most modern stuff is as bad as Ashlee Simpson. there's a lot of room between legends like Skynyrd and garbage like Ashlee, and a lot of good stuff to be found in that room.
everyonewho knows me, knows ive been a skynyrd fan for over 30 yrs. this and comin home are my 2 top favs, but may i say....every song ronnie and the boys sang to us are gr8
... THIS JUST GOES 2 SHOW U HOW KILLER AND ASS-KICKIN FREEBIRD IS... ON OTHER VIDEOS PEOPLE ARE STILL POSTING COMMENTS ABOUT FREEBIRD AND GETIN THE HIGHEST RATED VOTES. (HINT HINT :p)
thanks for this classic clip from a truly great and classic band. Yes they are up there with the Stones, and Zeppelin. to the young guitarist despairing of playing meaning- ful gigs -"most of us can only hope to session on a Bieber record one day. It makes it so hollow." dont you know there is a great live festival scene going on all over the world? Heard of Dereck Trucks? Joe Bonamassa? Bob Brozman?
I lift a glass in honor of Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Dean, Allen, Leon, Billy, and my best friend in the world, Mom........RIP..........We will be together soon.........Love you.....PS, Also the pilots that brought them to us and of course Leonard Skinner....
There have been a few Southern bands to follow in the tradition of the classic '70s Southern Rock bands, for example: The Black Crowes, Gov't. Mule, The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies and Brother Cane, to name a few. In the '70s you also had Elvin Bishop, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Mother's Finest, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Black Oak Arkansas, the Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Nantucket, Ram Jam, ZZ Top, the Allmans . . . too many to list here.
@rphwife I didn't forget them, Baby! Check my comment again, right between Ozark Mountain Daredevils and The Outlaws. You will see the immortal "Jim Dandy" Mangrum's band prominently listed there. To paraphrase Rowdy Roddy Piper: "I loves me some Southern Rock!" Cheers, kiddo!
Bring back old grey whistle test. Seriously. I am so sick of Nicki Minaj, Kanye, JLS and all this SHIT. This is my Dad's music, he started playing me this when I was about 6 or 7. I'm forever indebted, it's shaped my life.
@mollers92 Sad to say, but if you brought back Old Grey Whistle Test, you'd get nothing but Bieber, Gaga, Nicky Minaj, Kanye West and that shit. Better just to get the DVDs of the old performances and be happy with memories. From what I've seen of that show, during the early '80s all they had on there was Punk and New Wave like The Damned, Ultravox and A Flock of Seagulls. There was more variety in music at the time of this clip and it was reflected in the acts the show had in the '70s.
@elc1960 You may have a point, but I mean bring it back like it was then. There's so many good bands that go unearthed and we may never hear because they are not commercial and may take more than some spoon feeding for people to buy their records. Its a massive shame. I'm currently studying guitar at a music college, and within such a small pool of people there is so much talent, and yet I know most of us can only hope to session on a Bieber record one day. It makes it so hollow.
@mollers92 Wow, that was quick! (LOL) Best of luck in your studies, my friend. The modern music scene is too homogenized to support a show like that today; there's no variety in what's played in most outlets. That homogenization started in the very late '70s and continues unchecked to this day. Your remarks are very correct though. The industry keeps regurgitating the same stuff over and over, and sadly, the public is too ignorant to know the difference.
One of the greatest songs ever ! You have to listen to all Skynyrd songs to find any better...People said "Clapton is GOD"....Down south we feel the same way about Ronnie Van Zant..............
I HATE WHEN SOME ONE ACTS LIKE THEY REALLY CARE AND WHEN YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING.THEY ACT LIKE THEY NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYTHING I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND YOU WONT BE MY FRIENDS i HAVE SPENT THE LAST DIME YOU WILLEVER GET
@tidefootball27 I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels like that! For the record, the only Southern bands in the Hall are Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Allman Bros., and Skynyrd. How could they justify putting Blondie in there? No Alice Cooper, no KISS, no Rush, no Deep Purple, no Journey, no Judas Priest, but they have Blondie? Sorry for ranting, but this topic gets me pissed off. Also for the record, Eddie Trunk of "That Metal Show" agrees with us.
@kswet40 Talking Heads are alright, but the old Lynyrd Skynyrd were the best. They deserve there own Hall of Fame. Watch Knebworth 1976 and no one has any doubts.
@kswet40 R n R HOF is a joke, it is a "club"... not a true place for the worthy. Not to mention they have to keep stringing out "top" acts to ensure each year has a headliner,
God took Ronnie early so he could put him into his choir of angels along with all the other great singers that lost their lives at an early age. Imagine if Ronnie was still around they would have had made so many more great songs and rock would probley still be raw with emotion and alive today. R.I.P. Ronnie
They did run out of fuel. But on of the engines was burning more fuel than fuck and it ate up all the extra fuel. So they ran out and crashed. very sad RIP Ronnie Steve Cassie and Dean. LS will live forever.
The pilot actually lost an engine, shut it down properly, but like a dumbass in panick, dumped the fuel for the remaining(running)engine instead of the dead one. If he didn't make that stupid mistake, they'd all still be here.

hi, my name is Paul, im the lead singer of the Band Crimson Storm, please watch the video "cant you see" above, and if you like it, please share it with others, thanks and God Bless you,,,,.............
i always look through youtube for samples for my beats, but every now and then i find a track that is not only a good sample, but a beautiful song, by a beautiful artist. check out my simple man sampled beat and tell me what you guys think /watch?v=Y59cNgNk5qc
Awesome song that I can't believe didn't score a major hit. Rock on Allen. In the words of Gene Odem " Just a bunch of 20 somthing guys on the ride of a life time".
every time i listen to this song it brings chills up my spine skynard becomes a part of you. a way of life. its in your blood for all you southern fucks. and i mean that in a good way.
I hate how Skynyrd gets the stereotype for being the hillbilly rock band who only wrote Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird. They're actually much more diverse than you think.
@whiteliongate You're right. I think with the help of Youtube more people are seeing how great this band is. If you look at each individual member and get to know the music, you can't help but like them. Slow, fast, hard and soft, they can play it. Great lyrics, great piano and great guitar work.
there is nothing that makes me infurated more than people that cant except the music for what it is. if you dont like it, you dont have to tell us. if you hate it so much why did you take the time to tell us. and to the people who still dont know, guns and roses didnt write knocking on heavens door....come on and you call yourselfs music fans. that was an epic written by the great bob dylan. for the rest of yall, long live the boys and southern rock.
well they were all great to bad tragedy had to come there way... rip allen he was awesome but they all played great wished they were here today..i dont think they were racists...at alll and yea u do have to know the meaning behind free bird not to many know the meaning behind alot of there songs and just want to run there mouths,,, do ur homework first before u run ur mouth about my boys...
I grew up with these guys . They lived 2 house's down from me. I graduated with Jonny VanZant at Ed White High School in Jacksonville. His brother Donnie lived across the street. The sound man, Kevin Elson, had the Band House in his back yard. Before the name Lynard Skynard, they were called Nickles Alley and use to play in 5 points in Jacksonville Florida. Allen Collins lived 3 blocks from me. The night the Bird went down, I was with Kevin Elson's sister Lori, at the Blanding Blvd Drive in.
@TheChas112859 I was sittlng with my girlfriend on top of paris mountain,greenville,S.C. after the last concert at greenville memorial auditorium,when the anouncement was made about the plane crash.You cant imagine the shock.It was a sad time for everyone.After seeing skynyrd seven times I do believe that was the best performance.
@mamasboy815 Isn't it something that we can remember where we were when we heard the news of the plane crash. I was in college, sitting in the bedroom of my apartment listening to the local college station when they made the report. I still get a sick feeling in my stomach when I think about it.
@YoGuy37 I never had the opportunity to see them live either. Thank goodness for the videos posted here on YouTube. It's not the same as being there, but it's as close as we will ever get. My hat's off to those posting the live footage. Skynyrd lives on!
@BluesYourAss Neil actually thought it was pretty cool that they made reference to him in Sweet Home Alabama, so if he wasn't offended, you shouldn't be either. The original Lynyrd Skynyrd was a great band, I saw them one time in 1976, they were the opening act for the Stills/Young Band tour which Neil blew out before they made it to Lakeland FL stop. Skynyrd rocked the roof off the Lakeland Civic Center - incredible show.
@dewibluey I was actually refering to this being a reaction or answer for two Neil Young Songs "Southern Man" and "Alabama", which dealt with issues of racism and slavery in the south. I know Lynyrd Skynyrd weren't racists so it's quite strange they sung this:
@Dunkzillaman COUPLE OF YEARS AGO Q104 RADIO UP HERE IN N.Y. DONE A SURVEY WITH ENGLAND THAT PITTED "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" AGAINST "FREEBIRD" FREEBIRD WON! ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC!
@ROBB21265 stairway to heaven is made in a fucking studio, now i used to be a zep fan, but they suck live, nothing like skynyrd , skynyrd is the only band worth listening too

All Ronnie wanted was a new truck and to catch a 10lb Black Bass and he got both before he went off into the wild blue yonder. Wishes come true. R-I-P to them all.
@mycal64 Skynyrd was Awesome! I am a huge Zepplin fan.. But Synyrd was so talented with out the degree's..... Give it up for all the music that blessed us thru the 60's, 70's and 80's!!! I went Van Halen after that and then Pantera, Metallica... Guess I was tryin to hang on to my youth...... Love music...
@inyofacepriklips who cares who was better playing the guitar... the important thing about their music is how they all play toghether in the band... allen, gary, ed and steve were all genius playing the guitar
@inyofacepriklips my personally favourite guitar player and idol is Allen Collins but I never care who is better or not... just take the things how they are and enjoy the great music they let us back in these days...
Ronnie died the day after my birthday almost 20 years before my time, but I still consider him one of my personal heros. I have grown up on Lynyrd Skynyrd's music. I love them. The music world lost a valuable family member when they lost Ronnie. I know that he will never be forgotten. RIP Ronnie
Artimus Pyle (LS Drummer) who survived the crash currently is part of an excellent All-Star LS Tribute Band, “Southern Rock’s Finest.” I highly recommend anyone who has a chance seeing Southern Rock’s Finest to do so. See myspace for southernrocksfinest.
@daffaras he PASSED AWAY when he was 29 on oct 20th 1977 in a plane crash in mississippi (he didnt DIE, he is still very much alive in everyones soul)

I hate how Skynyrd gets the stereotype for being the hillbilly rock band who only wrote Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird. They're actually much more diverse than you think.
whiteliongate 1 year ago 2
@whiteliongate You're right. I think with the help of Youtube more people are seeing how great this band is. If you look at each individual member and get to know the music, you can't help but like them. Slow, fast, hard and soft, they can play it. Great lyrics, great piano and great guitar work.

I grew up with these guys . They lived 2 house's down from me. I graduated with Jonny VanZant at Ed White High School in Jacksonville. His brother Donnie lived across the street. The sound man, Kevin Elson, had the Band House in his back yard. Before the name Lynard Skynard, they were called Nickles Alley and use to play in 5 points in Jacksonville Florida. Allen Collins lived 3 blocks from me. The night the Bird went down, I was with Kevin Elson's sister Lori, at the Blanding Blvd Drive in.

@mamasboy815 Isn't it something that we can remember where we were when we heard the news of the plane crash. I was in college, sitting in the bedroom of my apartment listening to the local college station when they made the report. I still get a sick feeling in my stomach when I think about it.

BluesYourAss 1 year ago
@BluesYourAss Neil actually thought it was pretty cool that they made reference to him in Sweet Home Alabama, so if he wasn't offended, you shouldn't be either. The original Lynyrd Skynyrd was a great band, I saw them one time in 1976, they were the opening act for the Stills/Young Band tour which Neil blew out before they made it to Lakeland FL stop. Skynyrd rocked the roof off the Lakeland Civic Center - incredible show.
dewibluey 1 year ago
@dewibluey I was actually refering to this being a reaction or answer for two Neil Young Songs "Southern Man" and "Alabama", which dealt with issues of racism and slavery in the south. I know Lynyrd Skynyrd weren't racists so it's quite strange they sung this:
Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
