@Bobaganush26 why don't you just not read the comments then? because.. i'm pretty sure no one "gives a fuck" what you think either, and they're probably gonna keep posting whatever they want... because i know i sure as hell will. ;) lol. you don't want to waste your time reading those comments? news flash, you wasted your time posting that ridiculous fucking comment, idiot!
whenever there is music like this i mean good music not some of the bullshit people liston to now there always has to be some sort of shit that gets said that has no relevance to what the music is talking about or anything to do with anything for that matter so every one stop the talk about "niggers" "white trash" and all that fuckin ignorance your just ruining a good time for other people.
To everyone taqlking about LS being racist, how about stfu! aqnd this is coming from a black man who is a hugee Skynyrd Fan. Have a listen to Curtis Lowe and then try to tell me they are racist, after wanting to emulate an old black man...However, to the people saying "there's a difference between a black person and a n****r" youj have no idea how moronic/racist that makes you sound. Everybody just needs to enjoy the music.
@babyshaq73 : The sad thing is how many fukin' sick ignorant arseholes there are in this world. Sometimes I'm ashamed of being a human being...until I hear good music like LYNYRD SKYNYRD.
I never met Ronnie but I have talked to people who did. The band had friends in town and stopped every time they came though. The band still has friends they visit when they come to town. The one thing I have always heard about them. They are not like stars,they just like to hang out and have fun just like anyone else. I have heard it said that Ronnie didn't see his self as anything special but everyone else did.
Skynyrd will forever be heard, to the ones running there mouth about racism. shut your mouth nobody gives 2 fucks. your just a online gangster. come down to johnston county NC will see how long you last. JCWK!
For all those who say that LS didn;t like Black people, you need to read more. They had a woman working for them that was Black, and they considered her like their mother.
why is it always black and white get over it after all this time who cares what color you are whats with the racist shit u must not know any black people they are just like us u judge them on what you see on tv ur the fucking idiot
one of my favorite songs, story in the song makes me happy.makes me resent the people that were born in the 50's, they were the last generatoin that got to enjoy good tunes
man it feels like just yesterday..i was the last one awake at a party...drank all the beer..then i was drinking jack daniels out the bottle, just hearing this song playing in my head...good times!
@JacobLeonYo Your full of shit, Ronnie VanZant was really good friends with Jimi Hendrix and MANY black bluesmen which is what inspired Skynyrds bluesy sound. Skynyrd isnt and never has been prejudice in ANY way
@budboy1988 Although Ronnie Van Zant did like Jimi Hendrix's music, I'm pretty sure he wasn't good friends with him. Hendrix died in 1970, three years before Lynyrd Skynyrd released their first album. I know Gene Odom (a lifelong friend of Ronnie's and also the head of security for Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1976 to 1977), I'll ask him.
THE ppl that write the long comments and shit are fucking awsome i love this music as much as the next guy.i just dont no wat to write about...lynyrd skynyrd is the best.
@Sergjmr should i have called them "black trash" just as i called some caucasians "white trash"? you didn't seem to have a problem with that, would it have been more acceptable for you? truth is, it doesn't matter what i say, because there are always going to be people like you in this world who have to nit-pick at everything people say because you have nothing better to do with your life. i won't apologize for what i said, because i refuse to be a "sock puppet" and withhold my OWN opinion!
@Sergjmr Haha!! Why am I ignorant, because you don't agree with what I am saying? That's fine, you have your (stupid fucking) opinion, and I have mine! lol. I am using the terms "nigger" and "white trash" to describe the way a person acts. Just like calling someone a nerd. The term nerd has nothing to do with skin color or race, but it is used to describe the way one acts or the things they do. You've never categorized someone using terms such as; goth, redneck, prep, white trash, etc?.. Exactly
lynyrd skynyrd don`t hate niggers we all know a nigger. he takes and don`t give he uses and never lends a helping hand he cusses his mother and father.. we all know him, he is a nigger there is no coler in nigger
My god I love skynyrd, and I hate remakes of songs, esp skynyrd songs because nobody does it better, the only one I heard that even rivals a remake of this song was the Jamey Johnson cover
Southern Rock Gods. Ronnie showcases his bluesy vocals on this song. If anyone ever questioned his ability as a pure singer, they should hear this. He is amazing. I bet he could sing anything and move you.
ya know all music is in a way expression, there are always stupid people since the beginning of time but its easy to ignore them when you blast some beautiful music like Lynyrd
u know why there's cotton at the top of an aspirin bottle when u open it up right? to remind niggers that they were cotton pickers before they were drug dealerz......
@BryanGaudette man i'm sitting here listening to skynyrd, drinking a beer and feeling sorry for myself. you just put a smile on my face. never heard that one! love it.
@BryanGaudette I guess you forgot the south lost the war. God knew they were wrong and they were punished. You should be too you red neck piece of shit.
You say 50Cent - I say Led Zeppelin You say Miley Cyrus - I say Metallica You say T-Pain - I say Deep Purple You say Flowers - I say Van Halen You say Pink - I say Pink Floyd You say Hip Hop - I say Jimi Hendrix You say R&B - I scream Classic Rock You say hanah montana - I hit you in the face 70% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Rap. If you are part of the 30% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this message to another 5 videos. DON'T LET THE ROCK DIE
@dewton232 I completely forgot about Molly Hatchet, another great band! But I had no idea Blackfoot was out of Florida. Amazing. We have so many great bands out of Florida because there is nothing else to do down here so everyone just starts a band. lol
I am proud to say that I was born and raised in the state of Florida, because Jacksonville FL is where Ronnie, Donnie, and Johnny were born and raised, and where Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed. Also, Duane and Gregg Allman and their mother moved here, to Daytona Beach FL in 1957 after their father, a Vietnam Veteran, died. Allman Brothers Band was also formed in Florida! Those are two of the greatest bands of all time
@018GatorGirl jax florida here also, my aunt carol use to roll with the allman brothers, and i grew up in the neighborhood alot of the lynard skynard band was raised and hung out
I just wanted to say, I do not disagree with what poisonwhiskey88 is saying. I am 18 years old, and I was brought up listening to Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Marshall Tucker Band, etc. However, I was also raised knowing that there is a difference between a black person and a nigger. Lil Wayne, Kanye West, etc., they are niggers and I don't think they are real musicians! My dad has black friends, we're not racist. But there are also caucaians, and white trash... just sayin!
@018GatorGirl right on girl.I was born in Key West ,which is about as far south as you can go before hitting water and I feel the same way.Listen to the music,dont get caught up in that shit.I am a veteran and this song always hits home for me.Peace
@018GatorGirl Who gives a fuck how old you are? who cares what you listen to ? OMG if I see one more comment that starts out with " Im only 16", "Im only 18" and I listen to this, I was raised on that! WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A fUCK
@Bobaganush26 i actually really enjoy reading those comments...makes me so happy to see kids growing up on great music. it's a shame when someone leaves home and drops out into the real world with no real exposure to the classics. if you can vote, join the army, etc. you need all the experience you can get to make the right decisions. thank god for decent parenting..
@018GatorGirl lol . me just wanna say. stop thinkin about that bullshit. just let the music clear your head. cause ill be honest no one gives two shits what u know or think you know
@018GatorGirl finally somone who understands i can relate to being a teenager listening to music like this im 16 and i grew up with every band you named up there and many more great musicians like them and the whole rascist thing is stupid Race doesnt have anything to do with music.Its what comes from the heart and soul that matters
What a shame, to be racist and put that kind of comment on a great tune like this, for the 19 yr old, you are embarrassing the rest of us down here in GA, we love all races and you need to understand, that this is a blues, slide song, Robert Johnson was an African American blues player who invented this style of music that you like so much. Show some love man I am guitar teacher and there are more African american kids wanting to play guitar than us white boys these days, don't be like that man.
Hell Ya, i bought my hunting dog in Raiford, FL. and my cousin did time in Raifor, but I love being from Jacksonville, FL. the birthplace of Southern Rock, altough we have a really shitty football team, we have Skynyrd, long live Southern culture.
First time I ever heard this I thought to myself "Christ Almighty, this was a song tailor made for inclusion on Cool Hand Luke" I doubt they could ever remake that film but if they did they should include this song
Syknyrd fan when i was 15 or 16 too. now, 46 old, hasent been another band that could compare, not even his brother, cant right songs like Ronnie. got a couple of the albums ( CD's ) dont listen to them. but glad they keep trying. look for lynyrd skynyrd box set 54 songs 3 CD's " I HEARD IT THEN " TURN IT UP !!!! R.I.P Ronnie
@lynskyrd78 Amen brother! I'm the same age as you and became a fan the very first time I heard the opening riff to Sweet Home Alabama. True masters all of them but Ronnie was the soul no doubt. Hats off to Johnny and the rest (now just Gary) for trying but like you the couple newer cd's I own sit unplayed in my cd rack. The best of those being Endangered Species. I did enjoy the acoustic versions of those old classics for a time but the originals are what I reach for when I want some Skynyrd.
@lynskyrd78 Now I'm 58 and I met the band at Studio One in Doraville Ga. when they were cutting the Pronounced album.They drank hard whiskey and would fight like blood brothers but you could tell they really really loved each other I loved the black soul music of the day (Stax and Motown) but this is true southern soul music.I feel the band was lost in the plane crash that day, yet I appreciate Skynyrd of today even if it's a little different.You can't knock a good man down and keep him there.
@lynskyrd78 Im 23yrs old, There are alot of us out here carring the torch. We will never let Skynyrd die. My pops raised me on good music and Skynyrd is my favorite band of all time. I owe everything to them when it comes to me as a musician.
@avonninja i listen to skynyrd since about 1972,an do now also, my second favorite band, only behind blackmore,an deep purple, love em, i play there music on my guitar,an have lived there livesin a way, more attention an way more credit though needs to go to ed king,,,
it's either this one or Mr. Banker, hard for me to pick a favorite. really shows the raw talent of these blessed fellows..... we miss and love ya Ronnie
To my rebel cousins: the South will always be DIXIE, Be proud of your heritage, Be proud of your great music, nobody can take that away from you. RIP, to the passed on , in this great band.
Ronnie was with skynyrd, Donnie was with 38 Special & Johnny had his own band called The Johnny Van Zant Band for those who dont know. Peace........\./
im 19 yrs old and ive growed up with this type of music i just wish i could go back in time because i think i was born in the wrong time you got kids my age actin like a nigger now days and listen to shit like lil wayne that aint real music at all and i will hate to see me the day my youth run this country we just need more boys like me on this earth and yall too
@poisonwhiskey88 watch that "n' bomb!!!But beyond that,im sure im a bit older then you,& still didnt make it to the good music time!!!!but note most of the bands fall back on thier heros.this being one of them,big time!!!
@bigringabuser "actin like a nigger" is a state of mind or a way of actin, not necessarily the color of your skin. Yes a lot of blacks are niggers, and yes a lot of whites are niggers too. Its not being a racist, its being a realist
@jolivie19 Exactly. William Faulkner, a southern writer, wrote, "nigger is a behavior, not a person." He wrote decades before the civil rights movement. Southern people are very misunderstood by the rest of the country. I cannot deny the violence, hatred, and bigotry of the past, and I absolutely hate it. Whites are a minority in my hometown, so I think I know what a nigger is and it is not. For all of my life I have done what I could to bring our peoples closer together.
@suckmycod - thanks for confirming you are truly an inbred racist cracker who should have been aborted!!! How ironic your name is suckmycod because that is all you do all day every day: suck your cod!!
@suckmycod - thanks for confirming you are in fact a racist inbred chud cracker. And FYI I am not a faggot, least that's what your mom said last night.
@roastbeef49 - wow the racists inbred assmunchers are coming out in force? I'd lay a good chunk of money that your are a poor southern state moron, who didn't graduate high school, and whose only attribute in life is bagging groceries at the local Winn-Dixie. You are what anyone would refer to as a permanent butthurt parade combined with an old Frito-breathed pud-yanker.

@Bobaganush26 i actually really enjoy reading those comments...makes me so happy to see kids growing up on great music. it's a shame when someone leaves home and drops out into the real world with no real exposure to the classics. if you can vote, join the army, etc. you need all the experience you can get to make the right decisions. thank god for decent parenting..

What a shame, to be racist and put that kind of comment on a great tune like this, for the 19 yr old, you are embarrassing the rest of us down here in GA, we love all races and you need to understand, that this is a blues, slide song, Robert Johnson was an African American blues player who invented this style of music that you like so much. Show some love man I am guitar teacher and there are more African american kids wanting to play guitar than us white boys these days, don't be like that man.

R.I.P Ronnie
lynskyrd78 1 year ago 2
@lynskyrd78 Amen brother! I'm the same age as you and became a fan the very first time I heard the opening riff to Sweet Home Alabama. True masters all of them but Ronnie was the soul no doubt. Hats off to Johnny and the rest (now just Gary) for trying but like you the couple newer cd's I own sit unplayed in my cd rack. The best of those being Endangered Species. I did enjoy the acoustic versions of those old classics for a time but the originals are what I reach for when I want some Skynyrd.
ole9421 1 year ago
@lynskyrd78 Now I'm 58 and I met the band at Studio One in Doraville Ga. when they were cutting the Pronounced album.They drank hard whiskey and would fight like blood brothers but you could tell they really really loved each other I loved the black soul music of the day (Stax and Motown) but this is true southern soul music.I feel the band was lost in the plane crash that day, yet I appreciate Skynyrd of today even if it's a little different.You can't knock a good man down and keep him there.

@lynskyrd78 Im 23yrs old, There are alot of us out here carring the torch. We will never let Skynyrd die. My pops raised me on good music and Skynyrd is my favorite band of all time. I owe everything to them when it comes to me as a musician.

"actin like a nigger" Cut your arm, mine, or a black mans and guess what? We all bleed red. No sense being a racist, gets you nowhere.
bigringabuser 1 year ago 30
@bigringabuser "actin like a nigger" is a state of mind or a way of actin, not necessarily the color of your skin. Yes a lot of blacks are niggers, and yes a lot of whites are niggers too. Its not being a racist, its being a realist
jolivie19 1 year ago 2
@jolivie19 Exactly. William Faulkner, a southern writer, wrote, "nigger is a behavior, not a person." He wrote decades before the civil rights movement. Southern people are very misunderstood by the rest of the country. I cannot deny the violence, hatred, and bigotry of the past, and I absolutely hate it. Whites are a minority in my hometown, so I think I know what a nigger is and it is not. For all of my life I have done what I could to bring our peoples closer together.
