thankyou tony for this wonderful piece of music i really appreciate all u skynyrd fans keep the real music alive thanks once agian such a great song made bye ronnie he alaways knocked it out of the ballpark in every song peace out
Why's everybody fighting for Skynyrd or BLS version ? Personnally I prefer Lynyrd version, but what ? If someone prefer Bls version, what's the problem ? There's no "right" genre of music. All music are equals, there's just Justin bieber, lady gaga, Shakira and Black eyed peas that are under all others.
But if someone like this type of music, it's his problem. Stop critics, guys. Just appreciate music you like, and let other peoples appreciating music they like.
Whatever. BLS or whoeverthefuktheyare are a stupid ass cover band. Write some shit like this. Go ahead. My kid learned this song when he was 12. NO ONE can play it, or write it like Steve Gaines. Soo. Keep playin other peoples music... And pay your little sister to post shit about your cover band. P.S. Ever hear of keeping time???
@poolslut Well, when I play Skynyrd, I play shit right. Unlike all these youtube fags. I play Steve's part all the up to the end solo which I haven't begun working on yet. So except for that one, all of Steve's leads, fills, and rhythm are 90% accurate at the very least. I hate watching Skynyrd covers on youtube they are incredibly infuriating quite frankly. I have a tattoo of Steve Gaines on my right calf that was done by world renown tattooist Tom Renshaw, it took four hours and cost $1,500.
BLS... I just listened to their cover and it was awful. One of the worst covers I've ever heard.. they drag it out and the lead singer sounds like he has a sore throat.
Skynard has this great guitar in this song, it pops and gives you a good feeling when you hear it. BLS' version makes you feel like shit....so..it sucks ass.
Whatever. BLS or whoeverthefuktheyare are a stupid ass cover band. Write some shit like this. Go ahead. My kid learned this song when he was 12. NO ONE can play it, or write it like Steve Gaines. Soo. Keep playin other peoples music... And pay your little sister to post shit about your cover band. P.S. Ever hear of keeping time???
What is alternative about it? I don't here vocal harmonies and the end is a bit different...Love it just the same..they were really at the top of their songwritting game on the last album!
Most folks dont even scratch the surface of Skynyrds music....This song is a classic that no many people know about....cryin Shame. Love the guitar work in this thank you.
I love metal just as much as anyone. And you can all come on here and tell me how Zakk is "The Man" and all that shit.....but I think he should be ashamed of himself for what he did to this great song.
its all fine if you don't like the BLS version, but for Zakk to feel ashamed? come on now, give your head a shake. He did a cover of a great song, why play a cover note for note? I think he payed Skynyrd respect, and added a modern twist to it. this song is awesome, and the BLS version is fucking brilliant in its own right!!!
OK.....maybe "ashamed" is a little harsh. But it really is mediocre at best. The Skynyrd version is brilliant. I really don't think there would be anything really noteworthy of the BLS version if it were not a cover of a great song. It sounds like a hundred other songs.
Couldn't agree more man, what's with all these wiseasses complaining? Both versions are great. Zakk's is fuckin great as is anything Skynrd ever did! As for metallica they have sucked for so long that I just kinda pretend they died and don't actually suck as bad as they do now and for the last what has been at least 15 years or so now. MEGADETH!!!!! now they got their shit together.
I love black label society but the orignal is always better no matter what the song all the others are just poser's thats the trouble with covers but zakk did it justist.
In my opinion this version sounds a little more hopeful that his girl will probably actually come back but the BLS version sounds a lot more hopeless and sad over the situation but both are still awesome pieces of music regardless.
HOLY SHIT..See this is why downloading blows. I downloaded Mafia and didnt have liner notes. I can seriously say I know more than most about music and I never knew Skynyrd wrote this. Thanx for posting. Can't wait to show my wife this when she getshome
Thats funny most people born after 1990 would not know who wrote this song if not for BLS. who gives a fuck whose version is better Zakk dont he is just payn tribute to his heros.
Its amazing to think how many great albums, Skynyrd would've put out with Gaines in the mix. It seems like the band was hitting a great stride before the plane crash.
An original is always great, but BLS has done a really good job on this song, and for the younger generation BLS sounds alot better, 10/10 for both artists
@85bmb come on really? truth be told, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. however, if you were to take a poll on this song, i guarantee that the general consensus would be that the original is better. im 26 and i think LS version is much better. its such a pretty song. so there goes your "younger generation" theory. all in all, without calling you a retard, bluntsky420 summed it up...just appreciate the music.
@85bmb - I wouldn't say that. I LOVE Black Label Society's (BLS) version, but the songs are completely different in feel. Ronnie and the boys made this version a lot more chirpy and upbeat, whereas Zakk and BLS made the song feeling more pain. They are both excellent version. However, BLS's version is nowhere near better. (Oh and the word is spelled "a lot" not "alot")
@TheSpawnofSkynyrd I LOVE ALL 3 VERSIONS,BUT rONNIE WILL ALWAYS WIN OVER WITH ME!As he did with Zakk!His idols are vanZant,& Elton John!(Love to hear his version of this!!!
@85bmb nothing against black label society, but at least for me (i may be one of the only ones in my gen.) i consider this to be one of the best songs from the best band of all time... the story is such a true one, and ronnie sang it in such a way that nobody could do it justice... just my opinion though, and you know what they say about them
@85bmb Fuck the younger generation. They keep ripping off the older shit because they can't fucking come up with their own shit or when they do, it's a bunch of crap...nigga please...talk to the hand..
@PlanTonto one, dont call me nigga! 2nd... Dumbass? you sure did a good job of proving that point there with your statement.... 3rd Learn to broaden your horizon and open your mind up... otherwise you come across as a narrow minded ignorant human being.
@85bmb Look, nigga, my horizons are more broadened than you will ever know. Music has been my life since day one and I kn ow what I am talking about. It's all about mediocrity these days and not just in music, but everything that permeates our society, everything. I have witnessed this erosion for the last 2 decades. There will always be this antagonism between older and younger generations, but never has it been more prevalent than today. Youngster today have no respect for history.
actualy steve gains does play the solo at the end and its rossington that plays the pinch harmonics, and skynyrd plays this song ebtter then wyld, thats like saying "shinedown" plays simple man better then skynyrd...retarded
two things, 1 zakk wild was lame with this song, and 2 atleast lynyrd skynyrd was origanal, they rocked freaken hard core, zakk blows big fat flompy donkey dick.
Much respect for Zakk but one thing zakk doesn't have and Rhodes never had was an amazing vovalist. Ronnie may be the greatest vocalist of all time. not to disrespect the dark prince but come on.... he's like willie nelson. great songs but can't carry a tune in a bucket. thats my two cents but they're canadian so they're worthless.
SKYNYRD ROCKS!!! This is one of there best unknown songs, they really left this world to early. I cant imagine how many more classics they could of made!! Rock on Free Byrds!!!
I love Skynyrd too. They had so much energy, one of the best bands ever. I thought BLS did a pretty good job on their remake. it's cool to see new bands remember the LEGENDS, ain't it?
Read the title; it's called an alternate version and it wasn't anyone's fault. It's just a different version than the one that made the Street survivor LP.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ZAKKS IS WAY BETTER BUT PPL HAV E THERE OPINION but why does zakk say my FATHER and in this version he says my daddy? father sounds a million times bettters haha
That Black Label version is SHIT! Not the shit, just SHIT!
I'll bet youa million damn dollars Zakk's voice is proTooled to death cause that fucker can hit a note to save his ass. Ronnie Van Zant was a fucking oak among pansies.
the singer of lynyrd said that zakk wylde made a great version of this song!!zakk wylde can sing so damn good!!!so think about it and accept that other people have other opinions!!!both versions are great:)
dimebagzakk SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! Skynyrd is in the rock & roll hall of fame, numerous gold & platinum albums and their music has soul I saw Zakk Wylde @ Ozzfest and they sucked. Besides Skynyrd Wrote the Damn song over 35yrs ago. The Zakk Wylde version lacks soul, Vocals and the guitar solo is a joke sounds like SHIT.
Only a die hard Zakk fan would think this version is better than the original verison on Sreet Survivors. Sorry Zakk fans; his version doesn't come close to the original..
I didn't realise this was originally done by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I like this version as well as BLS there both equally good but this one is better. Awesome song
Sorry mister Red neck, go drink your beer, beat ur wife, and have sex with your kids... sick red neck... I like them both but Zakk did do a better job !! Stop talkin shit to people and people wont talk back !! be cool
Real mature for an 18 year old, I have to say... And really... You're calling Zakk Wylde music more real than Lynyrd Skynyrd? Seriously.. You've got issues.. But if you like it better, fine for you, but don't emberass yourself..
hey fog fuck it ok? you know theres actually some dumbfuck on youtube with tributes to Nathan Gale? he's been talkin shit about Dime and thats an idiot right there i apologize for calling this guy an idiot but the other needs to be shot
I dont like the BLS version but I still think its good for people to pay tribute to their heros weather I can connect or not, Its a remake of 1 song at least hes not in a cover band earning a living playing songs he didnt write!!

God I miss Ronnie Van Zant's vocals, what a great song, and a much missed original line up, great band, great sound, never to be forgotten

The only thing i can write about this song is, Its perfect and can't be improved on.

No disrespect to Lynyrd Skynyrd but I still think that the Black Label Society version is much more improved and has better vocals.

SKYNYRD ROCKS!!! This is one of there best unknown songs, they really left this world to early. I cant imagine how many more classics they could of made!! Rock on Free Byrds!!!

I love Skynyrd too. They had so much energy, one of the best bands ever. I thought BLS did a pretty good job on their remake. it's cool to see new bands remember the LEGENDS, ain't it?

Read the title; it's called an alternate version and it wasn't anyone's fault. It's just a different version than the one that made the Street survivor LP.

That Black Label version is SHIT! Not the shit, just SHIT!
I'll bet youa million damn dollars Zakk's voice is proTooled to death cause that fucker can hit a note to save his ass. Ronnie Van Zant was a fucking oak among pansies.

dimebagzakk SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! Skynyrd is in the rock & roll hall of fame, numerous gold & platinum albums and their music has soul I saw Zakk Wylde @ Ozzfest and they sucked. Besides Skynyrd Wrote the Damn song over 35yrs ago. The Zakk Wylde version lacks soul, Vocals and the guitar solo is a joke sounds like SHIT.

zakk's version gives a better idea of the lyrics. but hats off to skynyrd who made the song

Only a die hard Zakk fan would think this version is better than the original verison on Sreet Survivors. Sorry Zakk fans; his version doesn't come close to the original..

I didn't realise this was originally done by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I like this version as well as BLS there both equally good but this one is better. Awesome song

to say that someone took a song from skynyrd even though it was figuratively is bullshit. no one is worthy of that especially zakk

You calling someone an idiot because they voice their opinion exposes your age better than any reply I could give. You're 22 going on 12!

i'm fucking 18 and i only called him an idiot because he has no idea what real music is and you can shut the fuck up to you little bitch
juggieshot5 3 years ago
Real mature for an 18 year old, I have to say... And really... You're calling Zakk Wylde music more real than Lynyrd Skynyrd? Seriously.. You've got issues.. But if you like it better, fine for you, but don't emberass yourself..

hey fog fuck it ok? you know theres actually some dumbfuck on youtube with tributes to Nathan Gale? he's been talkin shit about Dime and thats an idiot right there i apologize for calling this guy an idiot but the other needs to be shot
juggieshot5 3 years ago
I dont like the BLS version but I still think its good for people to pay tribute to their heros weather I can connect or not, Its a remake of 1 song at least hes not in a cover band earning a living playing songs he didnt write!!
