[thufir420]

7 dislikes need soul.

[ryanwilliamnichols24]

[murguia5]

@ryanwilliamnichols24 bad ass song deep real words that touch your soul. my dad was gone so my mom raised me through good music.

[tarheelhardyfan]

Skynyrd Rocks!

[adamrol2]

With ALL due respect to the greatest southern rock band ever. From their fist fights in the Sweat Shack where they started to the Battle of the Bands in Atlanta where they got their first break. They were impressive then and still are. However, this "tribute" stunk! If you want to run credits, do it before or after, not after every damn photo. That editing broke the mood of the view.

[TheTammy1122]

A great tribute to the best southern rock band ever...I have listened to them since Iwas a kid!!

[96zah]

when my uncle passed away they played this at his funeral...im gonna kill the next person to hit the dislike button, and i know about 50 other youtubers who will help me do it.

[gothicjlew21]

@96zah i know bloods gang members ill help!

[ClarettaDelapena430]

You can get the audio-mp3 of this track at greatgrabber doht cohm.

[marayaelizabeth]

my brother passed away just a month ago, and this was one of his favorite songs. I can't listen to this song with out having tears in my eyes. Rest in peace brother. 1990-2010.

[FreeYourMind818]

@marayaelizabeth srry for your loss

[underwatercookie]

Awesome song.

[namayake]

This is a truly a powerful ballad and stylistically, 10 years ahead of it's time. All the metal bands of the 80's had Lynyrd Skynyrd to thank for creating the prototype for all metal ballads to come. May you forever rock in heaven, boys!

[heavenkept]

fav

[ohiojuggalo]

one of the deepest songs out there

[XXXREDROOMXXX]

This song changed my life. My father was going into surgery and died, this song was in his tape player. It is better to be loved than feared but the world is full of men who want to use you and will tell you its better to be feared than loved, they just want you to fear them, don't fall for it.

[Specter8100]

@XXXREDROOMXXX I don't understand the connection between your father dying and the being loved or feared. Perhaps explain? Or maybe its something personal.

[chikmonkey1]

wait, did they die in an accident?

[chikmonkey1]

good song.. good song:)

[gixxerdan2]

This footage is amazing, too bad the credits keep popping up through the whole thing, really detracts from the feeling and kills the buzz.

[derin604]

the very best southern rock band of all time!!!

[greendayfan234]

i own an orginal record of the album "street survivors" the last album they did before the tragic accident on the plane. on the album cover it shows the band in a fire filled street, with Ronnie Van Zant face completely engulfed in fire, strangely this album was first released a few days before the accident. It was pulled off the shelf because the album cover was so inappropriate with Van Zant's face covered in fire like he just got off the burning wreckage. Its kinda spooky RIP van zant

[DrunkenFigther]

My dead father sings that song every night...

i cry every time he does. Anyway he's only in my imagination.

[Antkid89]

I LOVE IT!

[tappenworldwide]

Why did that plane crash :(

[jayrocks111]

I watched the version of shinedown and people say the shinedown version was better, well that was full of !"bullshit"!

[memelive137]

my very favorite song by Lynard Skynard(Ronnie's Vocals)Thank God His Voice And Soul will Live On Forever.

[AndyCrysis]

i lov this video :))))))))))))))

[williamq19]

[GaryAllen10]

[PinkDay333]

[MegaSeabird]

[TheChemicalWarfare]

The Skynyrd around today isnt the same as the orginal

[smoofer6]

[docstp5]

hot song

[bastardjunkie]

i only knew this music recently (don't ask me why!!!) - well, i am not American and maybe they're not as know in here. i was watching a "Cold Case" episode and this song started playing along with the usual last scenes played in slow motion. whoa... loved it. it IS a GREAT song!! GREAT!!

[jlail24]

i cryed to this song man:-*(***

[ritcheyrocker]

32 years from today they wrecked. R.I.P Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines, Dean Kilpatrick, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkison, Billy Powell, and Lacy Van Zant (the father of southern rock)

[Spooke714]

Good song, terrible video with all the credits.geez

[tuchesuavae]

I think every man can relate to this song it touches men in a special way.

[guitarh3romaniac]

yeah its a good song but my friends dont think so they like new shit bands like jay z i mean how can people take him seriously

[tuchesuavae]

I love hip hop but have never been a fan of Jay-z and he was better int the 90's than the crap he puts out now but what ever like I said I've never been a fan even before I got older and learned about his occult ties.

[highschoolfullback]

it touches me in a very special kind of way lmfao!

if you know what i mean.

[LaughUntilTommorow]

i love to be touched like that. i heart small birds

[onelessthanhome]

An old flying buddy of mine was a young crop duster in Amite County, Mississippi in 1977. He had just landed his Ag-Cat and was in the proccess of refueling and reloading when he noticed a Convair 240 apparently trying to land on the short dirt strip J.D. flew out of. The 240 went down in a swamp short of the field. He and his ground help jumped into a truck and drove as close as was possible to the crash site. J. D. has described the carnage of that event to me many times.

[cometaiop]

beautiful song

[TheRogueMonk]

this song is so helpfull to me i find myself in life looking likea used bastard not knowing how to handle things .. i remmeber this song it helps me to know what really matters.

[slohurdler22]

legend.

this video is sad though

[ruffd777]

I love this song. The bass line is killer. the lyrics are words to live by.

[SouthernBoy4life1]

Indeed a legendary band.

[blueterrior]

I love this song so much, brings tears to me eyes ever time i hear it, the good kind. There is a great spanish cover of this song called "En Tu Estrellas" (in your stars) look it up

[thesmogmankills]

ok to all the imbeciles who say they love them...first of all its a grooup not a HIM and its spelled LYNYRD SKYNYRD not lynard and second some of the BAND died not one person so yea just to correct all of you and inform next time know some SIMPLE kind of facts before you comment thank you kindly

[YoungJuggalo1]

Before you bitch about spelling learn how to spell "GROUP".

[thesmogmankills]

umm assclown its called a typo....unlike these illiterate asses who cant spell at all so kindly shut your fucking piehole until i ask your opinion

[YoungJuggalo1]

Funny you say that you have to ask for other peoples opinion before they can post, but i didnt see anyone ask you for yours.

[thesmogmankills]

see the point of that is...I DIDNT ASK YOUR OPINION so dont give it to me shitfor brains now SHUT THE FUCK UP and more to the point...who the fuck do u think you are giving me advice when you dont know shit about this fucking song...fucking juggalo... when to the point youre probably a fucking poser talking through your pointless worthless piece of shit pie hole.... thats like me coming on to an ICP video and talking shit to you with the name skynryrd boy ....make some fucking sense

[YoungJuggalo1]

I grew up on skynryrd, ive loved this song my entire life me being a juggalo has no bearing on this at all and last time i checked on one has the right or the ability to stop someone from giving there opinion on the internet you, me, or anyone else.

[thesmogmankills]

umm apparently you arent a true juggalo cause the juggalo lifestlye says you arent supposedto listen to this type of music so if you are a TRUE juggalo you wouldnt be on this site listening to this band...its your lifestyle not mine your philosophy not mine dont get me wrong i LOVE ICP but i dont believe in the philosophy of one love one group only(not counting KMK or twizted) but to hey each his own and if u wanna be a juggalo practice what they preach everyone else sux and dont hassle me

[YoungJuggalo1]

you do know in violant j's book behind the paint he even says that he likes music like skynyrd, ACDC, Metalica, and so on and so forth so YOU shouldent say shit about what a TRUE juggalo is untill you actualy meet one.

[thesmogmankills]

lmao apparently you dont know the juggalo philosophy of intolerence towards other music... i believ ive been an ICP fan since you were still in diapers....seen them perform dozens of times since 1993 so please dont try to tell me their thoughts and beliefs ...coming from a " juggalo" you certainly dont know alot about them so please try to conform elsewhere poser

[xXhaloplaya40Xx]

um... the juggalo lifestyle isnt about listening to different music, you have no idea what the juggalo lifestyle is about, and if i remember right there isnt a philosophy of listening to one certain band, i like twiztid as well..but that doesnt mean i cant listen to esham or boondox or icp, metallica.. and they dont preach anyone sucks they just preach the wicked shit..i mean if its other rappers they dont like (eminem) than they say shit about him but i dont think they have talked about that...

[RainbowSkittleGirl]

this song is just amazing...so damn good.

[cyber0829]

catchfree84 how rude!ilove lynard he is so cool

[metalcoffin]

A song to live by! =)

[bfsab61]

[devenrocks101]

[michael575538]

[x101st]

What a band! We need another Skynrd today. No band even comes close, and there are a lot of good ones, but none like that. R.I. P. Skynrd, you are truly missed!

[tammyyardefromtn]

[catchfree84]

how big are your breast ?

[kperry1969]

Kody....he's holding up his daughter, actually.

[KODYKNOWLTON]

Yeah i kinda figured that after i posted it i relized Johnny was born in 1959 that would make him 18 at the point in time cuz this was in 1977.

[KODYKNOWLTON]

I could be wrong tho.

[KODYKNOWLTON]

At 28-32 Ronnie holding up his little brother Johny Van Zandt who is now the lead singer.

[captainbrockville]

[zerothrew9]

[SleazyKitten]

I love this video at 3:03 where he's riding those cute little ponies.good little rider

[sneaky98gt]

[detrater]

spine tingly

[heavymetalthundalova]

This is my favorite song of all time. No joke, i could recite this song whenever i want to. It touches something inside.

[NBjam77]

have to agree there.the way i see it is that if i die one day(and i most certainly will) i want this song played at my funeral.

[jakep2007]

defiantly man. i want this played at mine as well.

[joeythebaechle]

why cant people just shut up and listen to one of the greatest bands ever formed

[DrunkenlazybastardED]

I'm not a skynyrd fan, but this song is fucking beautiful.

[RheaRiot]
