[CerpinTaxt1983]

collins is very tall

[CerpinTaxt1983]

[niclasfrederiksen]

[SiHanGooner]

BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER MAN

DIFFICULTY LEVEL? ABOVE ASIAN :D

[RockAndRoll805]

@SiHanGooner Asians don't play guitar, they play violin.

[floopsie666]

@SiHanGooner its an easy solo to play lol...

[ivanchenko53]

wow ....Impresionaste, best guitar solo ever!!

[AndyAbez]

bring back the old grey whistle test when life was simple and music was at its best

[peteghs18]

Slash o Allen Collins

[niclasfrederiksen]

So funny to see Allens reaction when the song ends. At 6:55 he's got his arms in the air like he won some sports event :D Then he runs off like he's scared to be on stage any longer. He just played an amazing solo, yet he's jumping around like a child with new toys :) Being 23 and on TV pulling this masterpiece must have been overwhelming!

[hafrox]

@niclasfrederiksen What's even more astonishing is that he was only 21, when he recorded the studio version, now considered by many one of the greatest solos in rock history.

[niclasfrederiksen]

@hafrox Indeed. Too bad his life turned out as it did. Massive talent wasted way too early.

[luv853okg]

You lanky sumbitch, makin' that poor Firebird scream like that.

Just watching this made me miss you and Ronnie and Cassie and Steve and Billy all over again. Hope you get to jam your asses off in heaven, with Stevie and Duane and Jimi and of course, Jesus on bass.

[Youshutup6578]

Thumbs up if you can see the red bar :D

[joebryant]

DAMN!

[yellaboy2617]

Will i ever be as awesome as Collins?

[ImaBeastGCode]

@yellaboy2617 no. =]

[howtodohelp]

In the start he sings ''bieber yeah''

[Trey2488]

@quuxbazer because Skynyrd represented the south and MCA liked to promote that

[quuxbazer]

Sorry if I'm being really ignorant, but why is there a confederate flag in the background?

[occhioallallocco]

I can see Johnny Winter made some fans..........

[YooTubeSuxLikeHell]

Allen Collins was a bad mofo

[DazedConfused1969]

Being in a south" rock band is dangerous, Duane and Dickey died in crash and the skyndrd 77 plane crash :P

[DazedConfused1969]

@DazedConfused1969 Oakley

[MrAliquel]

32 persons are unaware of rock ;) up the good rock

[HexenandMetal]

Dioses, que maravilla de solo!

[doktorZly]

Jesus on the drums!

[scrumbulent]

OMG what a groove they're in!!

[SergioSergipe]

Allen Collins... A lenda!

[movieshaque]

jesus take the wheel :O ..err I mean drums :p

[jwright621557]

This is back in the days when these bands would do a 30 minute jam session on just one song. Those were the days!!!!!!!!!!

[dixona8997]

[allanfelipebss]

[ViriuZ7]

this always hurts my fingers at guitar hero

[FreezeProduct]

Technically it's not a solo....but hey, does anybody care ? This song should be called "Goosebumps"



[koomkongrecords]

dude is a beast. Salute!

[1965mustangfb]

Allen Collins best ever.

[msciascia08]

No one can play it like him!! I try

[LoveMILFi]

Wow! I get tired playing like 4 mins of chords and this guy plays like a fucking 7 minute solo -.-

[Trey2488]

@0000thommes Allen was drunk out of his mind at this show. They were nervous about being on camera. You should watch the Knebworth Freebird and then see what you think.

[0000thommes]

He hits a lot of clunkers for sure and I think this solo is mechanical sounding but the missed and flubbed notes really set Collins back, Jimi Hendrix and Clapton would never have those thick clumsy finger flubs.

[FreakyStreakMan]

@0000thommes No one Fucking Cares!! :DD he rocks! This solo is considered one of the best solos in history!

[ladistar]

32 people are Justin Beiber fans

[IRONSEAN7]

if i see one more comment about justin bieber while watching a video of some awsome shit, i might throw my computer across the room!!! JUST STOP TALKIN ABOUT HIM!!!! hel go away... ive never seen someone get so much publicity from people who dont like them! he must be loving it

[CelikDogukan]

THE BEST MOTHERFUCKİNG FUCKİN GUİTAR SOLO ON THE MOTHER FUCKİNG PLANET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reaperz14]

ladies and gentlemen GOD in the guitar and JESUS in the drums

[Bossness123]

@reaperz14 Yeah, god must be IN the guitar! Oh, wat, it's Allen Collins :p

[CJcleere]

@reaperz14 Allah on bass :L

[sarahdaud]

This is like the 50th time im watching this video.. and oh i wanna watch it again and again and again... WHAT.A.SOLO!

[waynetaylor66]

whoever hit dislike is probley a rebbeca black fan!

[waynetaylor66]

Mr.Excitment! allen collins!

[bearing44]

yeah well, it is done yet? the longer you live here you go. Take it to the old folks home.

[assassinodecereais]

I'm optimistic about the future: Alice Cooper is going to release a new record, Ted Nugent and AC/DC are on fire, Chickenfoot have a new awesome album, the new RHCP single includes a COWBELL, Wolfmother are getting famous, and even R.E.M (Alternative/New Wave) and Sum 41 (Pop Punk) are releasing great hard rock songs (R.E.M - Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter and Sum 41 - Time For You To Go). This is the start of a great musical decade (at least).

P.S. Even Bieber is getting less famous!

[adi19942]

i feel like a freebird now wat a solo .. Hail Allen Collins U ROCK

[crazym420]

Lynyrd Skynyrd will always be one of the best Southern Rock bands,they had three awesome guitar players and great drummer and fantastic vocalist,and the bass player got down as well.

[MJJProductions1724]

Camera man, y u know show Allen's Guitar!?!

[TNMinuteMan]

Look at Allen at 6:56, he's like "Yeah top that!"

[balalajkas]

32 people dosen't understand what music is all about.

[IXECSTACYXI]

[JIRIC8581]

[TheBeatbeatman]

[playingforbritain]

@TheBeatbeatman despite the fact you just said it :)

[XeDro98754]

Old music is the best!!!!!!!

[skynyrdfreak43]

If you have just listened to this: You just witnessed epic greatness!! Allen Collins kicked ASS on that Guitar and the entire band just put the stamp of perfection on every performance......to include this one!

**And for the 32 morons that "disliked" this: You people are just to stupid to breath by yourselves!!

[BudMovies]

[ndna88]

@BudMovies fuck that bieber has nothing to do with this video. get that shit outa here. no more bieber joke please. i'm sick of seeing his fucking name on EVERY rock/metal video

[BudMovies]

@ndna88 just a comparision how bad he is. do you think i like bieber?? not at all! that's why i posted this comment!

[XeDro98754]

7 minutes of soloing! AWESOME!!!

[sr19]

gotta be honest, i think collins did better solos. as good as this one is.....it sounds a little like a jam session. his shorter ones that were often in the middle of the songs were my favourite, really soulful and tasteful. this is not to say that i dislike this in anyway.

[byronbayoceanpaddler]

i remember when i first heard "Sweet Home". i was about 13. a mate of mine introduced it to me and said "well it's the best song I've ever heard" really deadpan. Still is such great music from these guys. and all the rest of the 70's, Zep, Hendrix (i know 60's) Stones, Beatles(they were ahead of their time- listen to "she said" and "come together") Music today- what a joke is popular.

[sehnal1965]

This is the real Skynyrd

[sehnal1965]

This is the real Skynrd

[joeyw30]

no it aint one more from the road live at the fox theater. allens rendition of the classic robert johnson song blows eric claptons version into the abyss!eric missed a lot of notes on the lead, listen to allens lead on this solo. it's also rumored that clapton sold allen that 58' gibson explorer joey from jax fla long live skynyrd!!!

[joeyw30]

[Blaxkfortress]

Lol i just thought of justin bieber trying this , i hate this new music. Some of its good but some is like twtf all the same and about the same shit. Weed,bitches,money where is the feeling

[csguden]

[Bossness123]

1:11 I SWARE RONNIE POKES ALLEN WITH HIS FIST

[playingforbritain]

@Bossness123 he's pulling them both to the front of the stage :)

[PedroPaulo744]

"Justin Bieber plays guitar"

Right, do this solo and sing with a decent voice, then the world will like you, Justén.

This solo fucking rocks.

Suck it, Bieber.

[kshack]

SWEET BELLBOTTOMS!!!!!!!!!

[TonySkyRush]

RIP Allen--Talk about putting your heart and soul into a "soulo" How many guitar players have tried to replicate this awsome solo?

Thats how you know that the legend will never die!

[King0fDew420]

just remember, these fellas died bringing us the joy of this awesome music.

look at van zants face he knew he was doomed....

[ajay6jake]

why the fuck would you dislike something like this!!?!?

[ACDC83fan]

watch at 3:30 Ronnie catches Allen from falling of the stage

[queenandbeatlesfan]

I'm 13, I love rock, hate pop, and I dont think you care cause all here do as well, all but 32 people who have different preferences.... And I respect that (: 

[MistaPieEata]

LMFAO i laughed so bad after i saw the comment is that jesus drumming

[whitepride603]

one of the few song you see where a guy is rocking out on a piano. RIP

[suim2007]

RIP Allen Collins...what a heartbreaking life he had after 1977

[phenriquedsr]

32 peoples don't like eletric guitars

[Sparten942]

I always Listened to Led Zeppelin, The stones, the who, jimi hendrix, AC/DC, and many other classic rock bands, and i never thought I would hear a guitar solo better then the ones they put out.

Damn, was I wrong.

By the way, im 16 and I think all this Gaga-bieber-popish rap crap is complete shit. Nothing compares to this amazing genre of music.

Its a new decade, lets hope that it may bring back the epicness of Rock and leave that pop shit in the dust.

[stevieray1001]

@Sparten942 you got a good head son - do me one favour listen to Rory Gallagher and Stevie Ray Vaughan - you have the potential - i do not patronise people, Happy Trails - if you dig those two go on to J0ohn Cippolina RIP Regards Hammer

[SeanStrife]

@stevieray1001 I look at your list and see a disturbing lack of Joe Satriani.

[MsPROI]

@Sparten942 oh yeah man...i´m 15 and have the same oppinion!!!!! sometimes i think, i live in the wrong time!!!!! old music and REAL MUSIC ( not only computer-shit) is the best!!!!

[Napco205]

@Sparten942 By the way, No one cares how old you are,.What is it with little kids like you always feel a need to mention their age.

[Sparten942]

@Napco205 And nobody cares about your fail attempt to troll the internet, so you can simply not reply to this to spare yourself looking like an idiot in future comments.

Its common sense that nobody would care. its fucking youtube, nobody cares about anything except for finding something they want to watch.

what else is common sense is that the term "little kid" applys to a much lower age group then my own, something you have failed to realize :)

[Napco205]

@Sparten942 You don't even know what trolling means. Your sooooooo "special" becuase you listen to Freebird,...I guess thats what u want to hear, your the hero for the 16yr olds. lol

[Sparten942]

@Napco205 Now thats just pathetic. I like how you think you can decide what I know, as if you were some sort of godly being. I'm pretty damn sure i know all to well what the art of trolling is, a prime example of it would be what your doing to me right now.

Special? lol, I dont consider myself any better then the average human, although that is probably greater then you.

What i want to hear is the damn music, not read your comments, so i suggest you shut the fuck up, and do the same.

[nice1centurion]

@Sparten942 shut up and listen to radio moscow

[KTM2488]

@Sparten942 DAM RIGHT! YOUR AWESOME! im the same age and think the same thing!

[las10plagas]

@Sparten942 best solos:

1. FREEBIRD!

2. Dazed and confused

3. everything by jimi

[cuzcopolis]

@Sparten942 God, you must my clone. I´m 16 too, and think the same way you do. Do you like Pink Floyd too? Gilmour kicks ass.

[FuggyProductions]

@cuzcopolis Shit I must be clone number 2 then. xD

[dakaduuda]

@Sparten942 Im 14 and listening this and hoping the same that u :)

[newman015]

I love how there is no bullshit effects going on with Allans' guitar yet he still manages to make a solo last 7 minutes, the sign of a true musician.

[veritoluv]

thumbs up thats a true rock solo

[Taka01ification]

is it me or is there a giant Confederate flag in the back like its a backdrop or sumthin nd when i like you......j/p

[TiagOPessolo]

Ohhh, maan !

In the 50' there is a lamentable mistake ! See and check yourself !

[wookie338]

@aardvarkmcgillicuddy yes........yes it is

[telemakhos31]

The drummer is not Jesus but this song is a sacred commandment that must be learned to know something about the history of rock and roll.

[wooger777]

no thats not jesus at the drums, that is god on the guitar

[Juicefani11]

@wooger777 No, wrong again! Allen is sitting in the left side of God playing his Firebird.

[wooger777]

no thats not Jesus at the drums, that is god on the guitar

[jojojosmart]

That is real music from the core of America. 

[kockoivan]

[bobbob53629]

@themand1989 so... you give up... i guess i won? so i was true. your comment was pathetic

[themand1989]

@bobbob53629 no, I did not quit and you did not win anything here ... This is not a competition! I'm not foolish enough to stay here, replicating your comments idiots, a lifetime ... or you do not have enough intelligence to realize this? You're being pathetic, by insisting in this vicious cycle ... I can only feel sorry for you!!!

[bobbob53629]
