no one can write like skynyrd and do the music they do / they are genius !! theres not even enough time on a recording for them !! nowadays everyone just wants the money and put techno to the track and 2 chords
KD: Why politicise such a great tune? National - ism divides, music unites! I live in Ireland - National --- isms have done enough damage here, thanks, without associating them with a rock classic
The video was made, by the way, in London, for the now defunct BBC rock show, the Old Grey Whistle Test, a long way from Alabama. And before you get abusive, the above is an "opinion" which is something Americans claim to hold dear - ie the right to have one! So take a breath before responding.
@bulldogmba Nope. The THIRD guy is the bass player Leon Wilkeson. Lynyrd Skynryd always had three GUITAR players and a BASS player. Here we have Gary Rossington on the SG playing slide and Allen Collins on the Firebird playing the solo. Ed King must be missing as he left the band in 1975 to be replaced by Steve Gaines. Normally King would mirror Collins at some point in this solo.
maybe they're just fat loafers--the x? number of inert inner intellectuals exceeds the educational edifices of empire, in which case we are all duly screwed!
I was in the Army in the 1970s and we had our M113 APC decked out with a great sound system. The boys and I would put Freebird on and go for an M60 gun run. When we really got crazy we would change to the 50 cal and put on Simple Man. Top that for some some American fun! Thanks America for the best years of my life and God Bless America!
@KDAK3365 I would like this... but then I would have to stand for 10 minutes at the start of every football game... and that's if the lead guitarist doesn't decide to do an extra long and awesome version of this song. I love it... just not that much.
I'm 57. This group is THE BEST of my times. Fuck any one who denies this. Call me an old man if you will,but this "Old Man" lived through the best times & I can tell ya that when the STTF this old motherfucker will be right there defending America & all you fuckin' sheep.
Beautiful..wow..just beautiful! My eyes swell watching this video as i've not seen it before. I think it's a bittersweet pill we all face through everday life. But at least we are breathing and talking about it. Talent is something that is sad to see taken away.
Those 7 ppl who disliked must be either blind and clicked the wrong button or deaf and heard the wrong song. You hear those classic piano chords and guitar riffs..and the DRUMS!!!. Not to mention the lyrics
if anybody doesn't remember or doesn't know what happened that vicious day,you can find on wikipedia.but i would rather forget what happened,than to remember it :((
@The1B1S1B it will be the only song played at my funeral. i was there when it came out. it will be there when i go out. and in between, i can neva evah get tired of it! peace!
