Yeah ... Steve Gaines really smoked that solo! ... A great fucking band at the height of their powers ...tragically cut short just a few months later ... but the music sounds better today than ever ... No contemporary band can touch this classic Skynyrd rock 'n roll ... not by a country mile!

The good Lord must love southern rock. since he has called so many of the orginal band home.

My best friend a dude from Georgia ... in High School @ CA ... tried to tell me about Skynyrd ... but I was too hung up on Pink Floyd at the time to listen ... later found out that Skynyrd was just as cool in a totally different way ...

So much talent together on stage! Allen Collins and Steve Gaines together is like to have god's right and left hand together :D

@wazzzit he was about like Ric Flair when he walked around on stage,he didn't need a robe or anybody to hold his drink while he was out there, but his presence made you feel like you better not mess with him.

@blocklandiscool not on his own stuff .. His first 3 cds are excellent.. even the 4th one with i'm a fighter had a couple of good tracks.. Brickayrd road had that and one or two others.. then.. the wheels fell off the bus.. he started doing the Skynyrd tour and that was that

What a Sweet Heart.. sharing the stage with his brother~~

@SteveGains Yeah those are some infamous last words. But that's how Ronnie Van Zant was. If it was your time to go then there was nothing you can do about it. His father said in an interview that Ronnie would always tell him that he wasnt going to live passed 30 and that he knew that was his cut off. Even the other band members said he would talk about it.

[SteveGaines]

@boopyfat Because "RONNIE SAID SO". The band had already booked commercial flights, Cassie had made arrangements to ride with the equipment truck and The pilots assured them there was NO DANGER. Ronnie Van Zant told them.."ANYONE WHO ISN'T AT THE SHOW IN BATON ROUGE TOMORROW NIGHT IS FIRED..IF IT"S YOUR TIME TO GO..IT"S YOUR TIME TO GO".. Infamous last words...This was a time when Ronnie's bullheadedness worked against him for the last time. So sad.

Ronnie had to be the coolest presence to ever walk on a stage
