I was only 17 years old when my mom told me there had been a plane crash and some people from Lynyrd Skynyrd had been killed. My heart sank when I learned who was killed. I never got to hear the original band perform and to this day I feel like I've missed something special. I'm convinced if Ronnie's IQ had been tested he would have been a certified genius. Though he couldn't play an instrument, his ability to formulate lyrics in his brain and recall them without writing them down combined with his ability to hear songs and arrangements and instruments in his head then make it all work perfectly is genius. Two years ago I was passing through Florida and realized I was going to be near the cemetery where the band is buried. It was only 45 minutes before the cemetery closed so I made a quick detour. After paying my respects at Ronnie, Leon and Billy's gravesites, I got into my car to go to the other graves. When the the engine started the radio was already on and the first sound out of it was the intro to Sweet Home Alabama. I literally started to chill and tears came to my eyes. It was almost like the guys were saying, "Thanks for coming by to hang out with us for a few minutes." "Fly on Freebird(s)".

This is when they picked up Steve Gains and he brought a whole new sound to the band and it really excelled skynyrd to stardom. This is when they stared their imb back from the bottom. Just a few short yeats later their plane would crash. "Give me back my bullets" would be redone with Johnny Van Zant and their new lead Ricky Meadlock. In 1986, Rick goes to town on that solo. Takes a 3:48 minute song to almost 9 minutes.

I think it's safe to say that Lynyrd Skynyrd were among the epitome, if not THE EPITOME of Southern rock. I was very young when they were in their prime. Lynyrd Skynyrd had this "Southern magic"--for lack of a better way of putting it on my part--in them that made them an iconic band. From reading these comments, those who saw them perform live weren't just lucky; they were blessed.

great song nearly impossible not to dance to
I was only 17 years old when my mom told me there had been a plane crash and some people from Lynyrd Skynyrd had been killed. My heart sank when I learned who was killed. I never got to hear the original band perform and to this day I feel like I've missed something special. I'm convinced if Ronnie's IQ had been tested he would have been a certified genius. Though he couldn't play an instrument, his ability to formulate lyrics in his brain and recall them without writing them down combined with his ability to hear songs and arrangements and instruments in his head then make it all work perfectly is genius. Two years ago I was passing through Florida and realized I was going to be near the cemetery where the band is buried. It was only 45 minutes before the cemetery closed so I made a quick detour. After paying my respects at Ronnie, Leon and Billy's gravesites, I got into my car to go to the other graves. When the the engine started the radio was already on and the first sound out of it was the intro to Sweet Home Alabama. I literally started to chill and tears came to my eyes. It was almost like the guys were saying, "Thanks for coming by to hang out with us for a few minutes." "Fly on Freebird(s)".

This is when they picked up Steve Gains and he brought a whole new sound to the band and it really excelled skynyrd to stardom. This is when they stared their imb back from the bottom. Just a few short yeats later their plane would crash. "Give me back my bullets" would be redone with Johnny Van Zant and their new lead Ricky Meadlock. In 1986, Rick goes to town on that solo. Takes a 3:48 minute song to almost 9 minutes.

I think it's safe to say that Lynyrd Skynyrd were among the epitome, if not THE EPITOME of Southern rock. I was very young when they were in their prime. Lynyrd Skynyrd had this "Southern magic"--for lack of a better way of putting it on my part--in them that made them an iconic band. From reading these comments, those who saw them perform live weren't just lucky; they were blessed.
