[treblejunkie]

@pcbtest : Gathering all the fame from a bunch of long haired losers... STILL, or dead.

[SuperTristan87]

@bigbeyers I say shut the fuck up and listen to the song.

[dracer398]

@bigbeyers I'd like to borrow this if you don't mind and put it on my FB page. You hit the nail directly on the Head.

[TheRealPetChicken]

@bigbeyers shut the fuck up already, you parrot piece of shit.

[s00perflab]

@bigbeyers Just because you don't like one type of music, that doesn't mean it's not "real" music.

That just shows you're narrow minded.

[MrTimothytim]

@bigbeyers 5 videos it is

[ozzyfreak994]

lynard skynard for life!

[boots2bagpipes]

@ozzyfreak994 You might wanna spell the name of the band correctly before you claim to be a lifelong fan. Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[S10slayer]

I love this getting super baked and jamin the fuck out. :)

[pinboyjorf]

[stringbenderE2E]

@ElijahBortnikov Me too!! 

[vicfrommich]

Simple Man, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 1973. Written in an hour, shortly after Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother and Gary Rossington's mother died. Van Zant wrote the lyrics based on advice the women had given them over the years. "I think anybody out there needs to respect their mother, and the words of their mother. It's mama talking to you in that song" Johnny Van Zant~ I hope thi answers and question out their. Happy Mother's Day =]

[MildlyColdNinja]

Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers are the greatest southern rock bands of all time

[tinttiist]

I love this song....

[Ar85naud]

My favorite song! Beautifull and right!

[SuperStonini]

Great,great and great !!!! This song is beautiful

[824scso]

More like Southern crock! All these Southern Rock bands dressed the same. sounded the same.

[stringbenderE2E]

@824scso You wouldn't know good music if it bit you in the ass

[BoromirGurl26]

Thank you Ronnie for giving me and my family music to bond by

[BadassvidsInc]

[joediver1119]

Quite simply, the greatest song ever written, by the greatest AMERICAN BORN songwriter of all time. ( Lennon/McCartney - British)

[gbu28]

I love Skynyrd, but this is YouTube Videos, not YouTube PowerPoint!!!

[bulldog32220]

Definately one of the best songs by Lynard Skynard someone needs to get old obama to listen to this and maybe he'd actully grow a pair. I live my life by this song and teach my 2 boys to live this way and God has blessed me with many things cuz im a Simple Man

[diverdudedownunder]

Just think of the music he'd be makin today. I have been a fan since I was a teenager. And still rock to his music.

[simpleman6942]

[toyfarm1]

Wanted to play this at my Mom's funeral! Was afraid Dad and Sis wouldn't go along with it! Means alot to me and so did she! :-)

[quinnmcguee]

@toyfarm1

I hear you. This song always reminds me of my mom (rip). For me, it speaks to who my mom was and the words are exactly what she would say to me. She didn't wish for me to be rich just happy.

[toyfarm1]

[lexieanne76]

This is the song that I dedicate to my son... I only pray he is a simple kind of man & remembers that there is a someone up above! Thank you Skynyrd for writing this song & touching my heart & life! RIP Ronnie & the guys.. you truly touched people with your music & lyrics!!

[jesb97]

[TheMAJORUM]

I DEDICATE THIS TO MY ONLY SON ISRAEL...MAMA LOVE'S YOU MOOOOOOOOOOOORE! MY SONG TO YOU SON!

[crazytrain22911]

shinedown does this song justice. Both great singers.

[WWERKO1994]

this is a amazing song this version and the shinedown version is fucking amazing

Rock music will live 4 ever!!

[rackhunter03]

@WWERKO1994

Skynyrd is the only version, Shinedown murdered Simple Man when they recorded it.

[gdfan66]

There is something so poignant and heartfelt about this song. It is classic Skynyrd and just takes me back.

[klatona123]

I want to dedicate this song to my nephew, Braxton, who was involved in a horrific

1 car accident on Father's Day, June 20, 2010. He is struggling to come back to us. He has a TBI.. PRAY FOR BRAXTON LATONA.

[acdcrocks619]

this is my bros song R.I.P. bro we love you

[0520bitch]

i agree with you there. little bro cannot replace him!

[48mwl]

Saw them play this on the "Strip" at Funnochios in Atlanta way

back in 1973. Truly an anthem for life !!!

[DJHUSTMONEY]

many have attempted to sing this song and many have failed to even come close to doing as well as Mr. Ronnie Van Zant. it always bothers be to hear someone sing this song you may do a god job but you did not do Ronnies job R.I.P. Ronnie Van Zant gone forever but never forgotten long live lynyrd skynyrd

[DJHUSTMONEY]

@DJHUSTMONEY sorry i misspelled some things

[memelive137]

@DJHUSTMONEY Thank you,His brother does not have the soul and feeling in his voice to sing Ronnie VanZants songs.As much as I love THE ORIGINAL LYNARD SKYNARD,I would rather hears recordings than for his brother to try to duplicate their songs.I don't think he sounds like Ronnie.

[0520bitch]

missed you boo for many yrs. will always love u.

[GBeret83]

IMO, musically and lyrically, the greatest song ever written and recorded!!! The lyrics to this song just SIMPLY say it all. The music that was put around the lyrics of this song couldn't have fit anymore perfect if Skynyrd had tried. TJMO.

[koopster420]

Skynyrd died with Ronnie

[sonmaui]

had my first beer to this song, its a song to be remebered to

[GoodOlRudy]

Sooo haunting! Hearing the original band playing this song!

[aeiousslave]

thank you

[rmbuser]

Awesome and Soulfull yet today!

[MaloBreeze]

Balls deep, buddy, balls fucking deep!!!!!!

[waffless10]

fuckin helicopters shit good job you bastards you killed the fuck out of a music legend :(

[44bigearl]

live on skynyrd!!!!!!! the older skynyrd(ronnie van zant) i think is better than the new stuff......agree?

[randpatt]

@44bigearl I agree. The current band is just a cash cow.

[guitarttimman]

you're right big, van zant was unbeatable!

[guitarttimman]

R.I.P Ronnie Van Zant. Nobody has been able to fill your shoes like you did. (New Skynyrd, of course, is still awesome.) But there could only be ONE Ronnie!

[pitbull8myguitar]

Skynyrd

[sinistrgirl]

It cant get any better than Skynard....

[GBeret83]

This is the original recording of Simple Man off of their first studio album Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd. The two guitarist are Gary Rossington and Allen Collins. When this album was recorded, Ed King was playing bass guitar at the time. He played bass on the album. Later, Ronnie told Ed he was the worst bass player he has ever heard, and Ed moved back to third guitar and they got Leon Wilkeson to rejoin the band.

[19ANDYFREAY92]

who the fuck are the guitarists at 3:44?

[19ANDYFREAY92]

Does anyone know if there is a video of this live with teh Orignal Line up?

thanks

[basshunter1965]

Best song ever, Best band ever, Best EVER!!! R.I.P Lynyrd Skynyrd you ae the greatest!

[CvGWickerMan]

R.I.P Ronnie

[4Lynardskynard]

Damn good song

[RockOnTim]

This, is one of the most amazing pieces of music I've ever listened to.

[BrainwashAvoider]

This song saved my life. It actually saved my life. Thank you Skynard, thank you Ronnie all y'all....hope I get to tell you the story someday up there :)

[aeiousslave]

WOW

[aeiousslave]

[parkerh12]

[Freebird707]

just saw skynyrd

its amazing that they still continue to play even though all they've been through

[MrBirdlady92]

I'm wearing my Skynyrd shirt right now. It's really holy and torn since I've had it since I was in 8th grade, but I don't plan on throwing it away untill it's not wearable.

[Giannamanzella]

I am wearing my Skynyrd shorts, Rolling stone Mag started a line...I picked up some Skynyrd shorts and a nice tight Skynyrd ladies cut T, and I got 12 free issues of Rolling Stone Mag with each item. And now I represent Skynyrd from front to back( Lynyrd Skynyrd across my bootie and on the front as well.

DUDE DON'T EVER THROW IT AWAY!

[perrygal8]

This song means a lot to me. I told my son to listen to it and live it!

[shalee56]

there music frees my soul

[fridogg]

he was a simple man. If you can lead a simple honest life, God opens up doors you could not ever imagine

[RoxUrrSox]

well said.

[conor30000]

who is this god guy? someone bring him to me he has a lot to answer for

[JaviVS]

its so curious

i like thrash metal the same i like southern rock...:o

[SteveGLS]

Ronnie and the Lynyrd Skynyrd band live on everytime we play their songs...Although Ronnie, Steve, Allen, Leon, and now Billy are gone we keep them alive because of our love for the music they left us...Thank You, Our Brothers, For Everything!

[DerangedSlayer13]

ya, lynyrd skynyrd is the best southern rock band of all time!

[njgodfather]

ABB imo, close though

[SteveGLS]

@SteveGLS I encourage everyone to find out everything they can about the Lynyrd Skynyrd band and pass it on to your children, your friends, even strangers you meet.

This music is a part of our life and we must never let it fade away...God bless everyone!

[kirkoa]

@SteveGLS

Amen brother.

[81RodHot]

skynyrnd is the the group of all groups well the old syknyrd the new one sounds like an washed up country group and im a hardcore syknryd fan but these new guy dont have what ronnie,gray,allen,steve,billy,­and artmus had and never will

[BoromirGurl26]

@81RodHot I happen to think Johnny Van Zant is just as talented as his big brother and he has done a phenomenal job of filling Ronnie's shoes which I may like to add is not an easy task I'd love to see you try. oh and FYI it's GARY not gray and Artemis not Artemus stupid stoner

[babygurlblink182]

@BoromirGurl26 i agree but it is hard to fill someones shoes who made such an impact in music ....... johnny is awsome

[BoromirGurl26]

@babygurlblink182 Not a big fan of Shinedown, but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as you don't say Kid Rock's version of Sweet Home Alabama was good. I feel he butchered that

[magsterndaze]

@SteveGLS LETS PLEASE BAN SHINEDOWNS VERSION IT'S GOT TO BE THE WORST COVER OF ANY SONG I'VE EVER HEARD NOT TO MENTION THE DISRESPECT TO LS.

[babygurlblink182]

@magsterndaze shinedowns version is the best cover i have herd in a long time

[DerangedSlayer13]

sucks that ronnie died, in case you don't know who that is, ronnie van zant was the original lead singer of lynyrd skynyrd, he is the one singing in this video, he died in a plane crash in the 70's

[shredderman4]

I go to the same school Lynyrd skynyrd went to in Jacksonville Florida!!

[gregvance]

@DerangedSlayer13 Thanks for the video. It's a beautiful song, absolutely awesome.. I never heard it till recently, it was on the introduction to another video on youtube 'Jordan Maxwell close encounters'

[nickybubba]

cool

[metallicakicksass13]

AWESOME SONG!!!!
