I love watching reactors. Sometimes you're spot on and sometimes you're so far off base it's hilarious! It's fun watching you and "rooting" for one of you. "Come on dude! You have to know this one! " Oooooo. Honest and true emotions. (My ovaries are exploding 😆)

Had to burry my mom all on my own a bit more than a year ago. I've lived on the street, I've been addicted, got clean, and lost my home but that still was the hardest thing I've ever done.

Don’t apologize; your reaction shows that over the time you lived, you understand the sacrifices that your mom made and that you became what she hoped you would- a good man. Thank you, this reaction has helped me more today than you guys will know.

If you gotta cry, I think crying over the love of your mom might be the most appropriate, real, and human response you can have.

Shout out to you Hollywood a son's love for his mother is unconditional!!! 😥

The true testament to a quality song is how much it affects your emotions. Never be ashamed of the memories that a good song brings up. It is proof your growth as a person.

I lost my mom in January of 2018, I feel you on this one Hollywood. She was my best friend, we survived a lot of struggles together. Certain songs and TV shows remind me of her, things like this hold more meaning than we realize at the time. You guys are one of the realest channels on KZread, you guys should be proud of the community you've built here!

No, this is the best reaction, Hollywood. I appreciate your vulnerability and was crying along with you. If we know anything about you, it’s that you love and respect your mom more than anyone. It’s no surprise that you wouldn’t wanna let her down in any way. I can relate to that with my parents. 🤗 Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Hope all the East-coasters are keeping warm. ✌🏻💛🎼

It was always an emotional song, and it's not about being professional, it is about the music, and how it affects each of us. Simple Man is a brilliant ballad, and clearly had a positive impact on Hollywood. Thanks for the upload and great reaction.

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR CRYING! It is ok to cry! And THIS is a great song! I sang it to my son too. He turned 23 on Christmas eve. And the first time I sang it to him was 23 yrs ago today. Dec. 26th. Thanks to him I am grandma. With number 2 coming in May. Your moma is very proud of you! And Smokey you take care of him.

Hey smokey I'm a fellow sped myself. I couldn't listen and learn, I was a visual and hands on learner. Schools couldn't understand that in the late 80s and early 90s. When speds are passionate about something they become the best they could ever be with that passion. I was obsessed with cars and accidents and now I'm one of the best collision techs in my state. (Top 20s) In my district I am top tech. So embrace your inner sped everyone!! We think in my our own way. And hollywood I feel you in this song. I just found out my mother's heart is failing faster that the family thought. This was her final Christmas. Spend every moment you can with mama 6ix please. You never know when that day she won't be there will come. No apology needed hollywood. We are all getting choked up with you after hearing the story behind the song. We are all proud of where you came from to where you are now. Hats off you and mama 6ix. She did a fantastic job raising you.

Their name came from a teacher at their school who used to always bitch about their long hair. His name was Leonard Skinner. And it also came from the Camp Grenada song, where a lyric is Leonard Skinner

I was crying right along with you at the end, man. That’s why I watch this channel. Being real is very rare these days, and you were real. Respect

"The Ballad of Curtis Loew" is another great emotional Skynyrd song.

Hollywood, you were professional. Your fans & supporters wanted your reaction to this song, and you delivered; you gave them a reaction that was, above all else, honest. There's no shame in that game.

That's the best thing about music. Any song that brings out ANY emotion (Happiness, Sadness, Anger etc.) Is music worth listening to. Emotional releases are such a strong response to music that Literally hits your soul. No shame brother ❤️❤️❤️

Funny enough, Lynyrd Skynyrd were actually NOT from Alabama. They were from Florida. Sweet Home Alabama was written in response to a couple songs by Neil Young, called Southern Man and Alabama. These were songs that were painting the entire south very critically in regards to slavery and racism, and the band felt he was being too unfair with his portrayal of the south by chalking them up to just the land of slavery and racism.

Such a great song. Thanks for showing some emotion Hollywood. I'm a 6'2" 300 pound male, and I ain't ever afraid to cry in front of people. In fact, it's damn near impossible for me to stifle those tears when the floodgates open. I think this song is so huge because it provokes that kind of emotional response from all who listen to it. There have been times in my life where I've allowed things to get waaay too complicated, and I've had to simplify. The outcome is always positive. Much love to both of you, from Vancouver, BC, Canada. 🇨🇦

Never apologise for something so genuine man. That song definitely struck a chord and you felt it big time. Who cares about professional, you were speaking from the heart and you FELT it. Big respect for putting this out and showing this. There’s no shame in crying

The band was from Jacksonville Florida. Their name comes in part as a mocking tribute to P.E. teacher Leonard Skinner at Robert E. Lee High School, He was for enforcing the school's policy against boys having long hair.

I'm a 45 year old black woman and I cry to this song every time...

And no need to apologize brother. Music is supposed to move you. It is supposed to evoke memories. There’s nothing more professional than taking what you do seriously and sink as much emotion into it as you can. You have a huge community behind you. We all have your back no matter what. One of the best reactions I’ve seen to date.

This song will make you cry 😢 every time

You're human, don't be sorry for showing your feelings, massive respect🙏🖖

3 jobs! That's amazing. I was a huge fuck up too as an adolescent. And my Momma was put thru hell also. Dude you got me to tear up a bit and I'm the guy that only wants Meshuggah lol Thanks, Hollywood!

I absolutely love ❤️ this song, it's what I dedicated to my only son. It hits way hard in the feels! If you guys could react to Shinedowns cover of this, it will Blow you away!! One if the best Covers ever, I promise you ❤️ Ps. Don't EVER apologize for having a heart and memories of Mama singing to you!! Hollywood your such a Wonderful Man, You did Mama Proud!! Shout out to your Mom for raising a caring Wonderful Man!! My Mama is my Everything too, no Dad since I was 5yrs old, it makes me cry too! Much love to You! Keep being Real!! ❤️🥰🎼❤️‍🔥

Never say that loving your mom so much you are in tears is unprofessional. This may be the best reaction video I’ve ever seen.

And this guys is the power of music and moms. 2 thumbs up way up.

Hollywood, you’re all good my friend. Coming from a similar background of screwing up when I was young and disappointing my hard working mother, this song gets me too my man. Don’t be ashamed. Peace and love

Their name is from the PE teacher Leonard Skinner, who enforced the school's code of no long hair for boys. They changed the spelling of his name. The original band became friends after being on rival baseball teams in high school. They are from Florida.

Best friend moment: "Sorry Smoke." Smoke just smiles & laughs.

My mom dedicated this song to me when I turned 18. Never fails to make me tear up as well. I love my mom

Absolutely NO SHAME for your emotions, Hollywood. The words to this song mean the world to a LOT of us. Through it all, Hollywood, you made it. Always remember that.

This song is an excellent reminder to anyone, that life should be kept simple in order to fully enjoy being a human. Glad to see it resonates with so many.

A southern rock anthem, absolute classic 💯🔥!!!

i remember when shinedown's cover of this came out while i was in the navy in the early 2000s and hitting ports around the world and how awesome it was that alot of people in different countries all knew this song and how much it could bring together people from different countries

💕 The more I see you, both of you, the prouder I become as a mama to the world. If I had sons I would be delighted if they were but a reflection of the men that you are. Long ago, during one of my empath crying spells, a woman from a Native American tribe from way up north approached me with a story that changed my life… not only was she mystical and stunningly gorgeous, I often wonder if she was even real in the present moment, we both lived in a very small town and this was the one and only time I ever saw her. Anyway she told me that in their native language there was only one word for laughing and crying, because they are both the same MEDICINE…. I never apologized for crying again, and I think it takes more strength to let it flow than to hold it back and to be proud of it and call it beautiful… which is exactly what you just did Hollywood, and Smokey you’re such an awesome friend you just sit there comfortably and let him have it and supported him and it was a beautiful moment of friendship to witness, thanks guys and have a great rest of your day!✌💚🌻😎✨

I have two sons and I have sang this to both of them. Once a year I send it to both of them. Both of them are now married with kids of their own. I know they will have some very good memories of me doing this when I'm no longer here. Don't be ashamed for your tears. I was crying right along with you. Love your channel. Keep up the great work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Don't you worry, you'll find yourself"... that's where I saw your tears start flowing. I get it Hollywood. Not many men may admit it, but so many of us have heard that from our mama's (i.e. Hollywood), so many wish they would have gotten that talk from their mamas (i.e. Me). At this stage, I sure wish I had heard that. Either way, after having been through an already emotion-filled life (men our age) and having time to reflect on the past, this song tugs at your heartstrings for sure. MAD RESPECT to Mama 6ix! ✌️ n ❤️

*Please react to Shinedown's cover of this song (official video version). Jasin Todd (guitarist for Shinedown at the time) is married to Melody Van Zant. Melody is the daughter of Ronnie Van Zant (singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd). Some like it better than the original, some don't. But everyone agrees it's amazing!*

Hollywood, your reaction is genuine, don't apologize for crying. Everyone cries at one point in their lives...on a side note...love this song

I respect a man who loves his mom this much, and who can cry and don't want to fit the seterotype.

Good music is supposed to touch your soul and heart, no apologies needed.

Peace be with you and her.

This is such a great song, and showing emotions in response to it, especially with such strong memories attached to it, is a healthy reaction. You never have to apologize for that. I actually think it’s important for more men to see others openly showing emotions other than the variations of anger or apathy that somehow became the only socially acceptable things for men to show. It normalizes being allowed to feel and show the full range of human emotions. Tears are normal for all humans (except maybe psychopaths) and everyone should be allowed to show that. Repressing those emotions is not good for anyone. I am actually proud of you for posting this and not just scrapping it like you could have done. With that said, and on a somewhat lighter note: These guys were actually from Jacksonville, FL. Don’t let that one song title fool ya. Haha! The band’s name is supposedly a play on the name of a teacher they had who told them they would never amount to anything. Which is just an example of why you should never listen to those kinds of people (or be one….it might haunt you forever)!

Never be sorry for expressing yourself or shedding tears. Good music touches your soul.

Hey man, I was crying too, I lost my mom when I was 30, my dad died before I was born, n my family told me when she found out she was pregnant, it brought her out of her depression, she named me after my dad, but I was her only boy, so when I was about 15, she sat me down n had the talk, find a nice girl, treat them good, dont use them for sex, n just be the best man you can be, so I feel you Hollywood,! It being Christmas time, I've been thinking alot about her lately

I am 61 and I listen to TLSB every day. and it always invokes some kind of emotional response. Thats what great songs do

I loved this reaction . It’s ok to feel brother

My Dad plays this religiously too and plays it on guitar. I get it. One of his favorite songs. I can't hear it without thinking of him. Don't worry about crying, or being professional, this is the BEST reaction video. This is a reaction you did it.

When music doesn't just touch your soul...it smacks you upside your head....your best reaction EVER!....kudos...much love, keep on keepin' on.

Good morning from New England... MAD RESPECT to HOLLYWOOD for letting his feelings shine thru... Most reactors are not capable or willing to show this kind of emotion...I CAN RELATE SO MUCH HOLLYWOOD...THIS IS THE BEST REACTION YOU GUYS EVER DID.. Peace from the Northeast...

You guys raised the bar with that reaction. That is as genuine as it gets. I’ve loved Lynyrd Skynyrd since I was a kid in the 1970’s, and their music has helped me through some hard times. Ronnie VanZant was an amazing storyteller. Check out their song The Ballad of Curtis Loew. It is loosely based on a true story. I think you guys will really like it.

I was crying with you because I used to dance to this song with my little boy and those memories are so special to me even now 20 years later

This song stirs emotions from my 57 year old ass and it always will.

"Worst reaction ever"? Nah bro. Best reaction ever! Shout out to Mama Six.

Truth is Truth, Hollywood. No shame to be had in honest tears. Sounds like Mama Six did good, you learned the lesson before it was too late, and that's what matters. Merry Christmas, guys! ❤️🌲🌟😎👍

Beautyful.thanx for sharing.there is nothing wrong with Emotions🙂🙂🙂🤘

Be a man and hug 6ix. Tell him you love him and he matters. Never apologize for having feelings buddy. Smokey, fucking hug the man, he needs it.

I love this song and this version. Deftones covered this song, which is also quite good and is on their B-sides and Rarities album along with some other awesome songs they covered. This song brings the tears, so I can't listen to it much anymore, but great honest reaction guys.

Hollywood there is no shame in crying. I cry every time I hear this song. Lynyrd Skynyrd has 3 songs that always hit me hard. "Simple Man" is one of them. The other 2 I highly suggest..."Tuesday's Gone" and one of their underrated ones"I Need You."

I cried with you, brother. It's a timelessly touching song. Gets me every time I sit and take it in.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN MY FRIEND 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

I think that having emotions and caring about those who care about you can be very professional. A professional is someone who carries out the duties and obligations expected of someone employed in their position or who receives final compensation for the product of their trade. In your case, and specifically in this instance, you are in the position of a music reaction content creator which is exactly what you did, and you did quite well I might add. You gave us a honest and profound reaction to a beautiful song. If that's not "professional" then being professional isn't something anyone should want to be.

6ix, your reaction was so incredibly genuine and emotional that it brought me to tears. I started listening to Skynyrd when I was a high school kid in the seventies and here I am today still taking in the simple, yet strong words of this classic. Smokey, what can I say? You are the perfect ying to 6ix's yang.

Never apologize for crying. Men cry. Crying cleans the soul brother. This song has always had a special meaning for me and it still brings tears my eyes. Merry Christmas you guys.

The worst reaction video ever? No sir - this is the BEST reaction video ever. This is heartfelt.

This is your best reaction, just ask your Mama. I remember my son riding in the car as a college student and him saying to me, “Listen to this, Mom…” He plays a 2001 remake of this song by another group and smiled. (I see it was the Deftones). He remembers me playing the original while he was very young and it stuck with him. Nothing made me more proud than to know he appreciated what the song said. He definitely turned into a very smart, successful man with a heart of gold.😊

It was part Ronny van zant and Garry rosington that wrote the song with there mom and grandma being the main inspiration for the song the mom parts are all Gary’s mom as he’s an only child and Ronny’s grandmother I don’t know which she’s responsible for but they basically tied them into the song

Nothing but love and respect to Hollywood my man. No shame, no apologies needed, nothing to worry about.

You're a good soul Hollywood! You have a good heart! You guys have authenticity! Not many reaction videos have that!

Great reaction guys! I’m a mother with a son. Regardless of the situation, the love is always unconditional. 😊

Much love 6ix you're rocking it RIGHT NOW. The past is the past. This was my dad's favorite band he died before I was born. So my Mom gave me a 2 disc album of Lynyrd Skynyrd loved all their songs except That Smell. That one hit home the worse because my dad died from drug overdose. I've done some fucked up things to my mom and around my mom where she was very disappointed in me but I had to grow up fast and take care of her and now we live in a house after 25 years or so renting in an apartments. In my eyes you're doing great now man. You and Smoke dawg are rockin it. 🤘

You say not professional, I say being real. Much respect to you my man. Never apologize for for being real and letting it all out. You the man.

You have me in tears.. This song takes me back to the night I delivered my Son, my only child. I was a young, single Mom scared to death. I didn't know what else to do so I rocked him all night staring out the window singing this to him over and over. You showed me the other side.of the story. BTW, Best reaction video I have ever seen. Genuine authentic emotion is so underrated. Thank you for this..❤️

One of the best songs ever

Great reaction. I'm watching this reaction with my mother's dog in my lap crying my eyes out. She couldn't make it to my wedding in 2020. This is the song we were going to dance to. She died last year from cancer.

Never EVER apologize for crying...especially when it's for your mom! AND when it's a song that hits your heart and soul that hard! Sounds like you have a great mom - and I definitely think you have to show this reaction to her - and hug her tightly when doing so! When I think of my mom (RIP), and hear this song, I have a very hard time keeping a dry eye (actually a lot of songs do it to me when thinking of her - just ask me about Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd! Can't keep it together when that comes on). Great song, GREAT reaction guys.

now you gotta do the shinedown cover of this. i prefer this over that one cuz i always gotta turn down my headphoes cuz brent smith from shinedown is a belter with the vocals XD

Oh my goodness Hollywood! You got me crying over in SC! That’s the power of music. It’s a feeling and that’s what good music can do Hollywood as you know being a musician yourself. You loving our momma so much and her loving you so much that’s what love is, unconditional love. Your momma would be crying her eyes knowing how much you love and talk about her on this channel and she has done a tremendous job doing both roles as a single parent.

I can absolutely relate Hollywood. I’m going through depression/hard drugs addiction right now. I break into tears everyday for breaking my mom’s heart like that. No shame at all in crying, just the opposite. Much respect for recognizing your mistakes (it seems you’re good now), and showing to the world how much you love your mom. ✊🏽❤️
