I was just gonna comment on the same thing...Sweet Home Alabama and
Free Bird have been on constant rotation on my IPOD lately. They just do it for me...But then again, I'm from the south. See y'all!!!
I agree that the band that has been touring under the Lynyrd Skynyrd name for the past 18 years are nothing more than a tribute act and not a great one at that. IMO.
btw, i know we have our differences, you being from columbia and me going to clemson. but i was expecting too meet a lot more skynyrd fans here in south carolina than i have so far.
This is EXACTLY Why I can't stand them anymore... And I'm not the type to cry "sell out" and hate a band whenever I see them sell a song to a commercial-- because I'd have to hate STP, Zepelin, the Who, and a few dozen others. But something about the KFC commercial, and that terribly annoying lick in the beginning of that song being played over and over again has just worn on me, and now none of their stuff sounds the same to me anymore. It's sad, because I used to kinda dig them... Now I despise just about everything they've done.
Well, Freebird is still kind of cool
needle and the spoon
ballad of curtis blow
those boys were great ......
Allan Collins & Gary Rosington and at the end they added fucking Steve Gains these 3 guitar players were great .......
You know that a band is great when they inspire another great band to write a rock opera in their honor.....see "Southern Rock Opera" by the Drive-by Truckers.
I'm from SC and I love Skynyrd. I have a friend (much older than myself of course) that saw them open up for the Rolling Stones and said they could play the Stones off any stage stage.
even their non-hit songs were magic. songs like "All I Can Do is Write it in a Song" and "Every Mother's Son". Ed King and Steve Gaines were great, but I still think they were better with just Rossington and Collins (and no female backup singers) because they were much more raw.
