In the Beginning Ronnie van Zant was the oldest of 3 and hailed from the tough west side of Jacksonville, Florida, in an area where fighting was a normal pastime. He first started singing in a Gospel Church Women's Choir, but there was another type of music that Ronnie Van Zant wanted. One he pieced together from various musical influences in his life: Shorty Medlocke (Father of Rick Medlocke of the band Blackfoot) was a former sharecropper who played a scrappy style of "Swamp Music" that Ronnie Van Zant became familiar with. At the age of 16, Ronnie Van Zant was approached by the Band called Us. They needed a lead singer for their Rhythm and Blues Band. "US" was a local favorite that had competed in "Battle of the Bands" Contests. Another such band was calle More...

It played on a scene that i think was the most powerfull scene in the whole movie. It took me to another place - words cant express what i felt. Immedietly after the movie i had a mission to find the misterious song. I believe the song played a big part in ma lyf and it made me the man i am today. The best band ever | Reviewer: Richard ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I have seen LS numerous times. I have seen them w/ Hank Jr. ZZ TOP just to name a few. The original band only recorded for 3 yrs but they wrote songs everyone can relate to. We will never know what could have happened if the original line up was still around. Skynyrd | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd One hit wonders.I was too young to know of them in the 70's so I can only go on what they are today and that is an inbred red neck,southern fried crap appealing to the lowest common denominator. Skynyrd Nation is a knuckle dragging,mouth breathing,Colt 45 swilling,flag waving,gun toting,toothless,mullet-headed inbred mental defectives whose idea of freedom is stuffing their face with Big Macs,masturbating to the bible and watching cars make a constant left hand turn for 5 hours. Skynyrd and their fans suck. Someone stop them, they are awful. | Reviewer: Walter ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Lynyrd Skynyrd 1973-1975, Great Band (NO Led Zeppelin, give me a break, in fact Skynyrd has always been far more hypocritical when it came to drugs and violence), swamp country blues meets British Hard Rock with a touch of trad country. Original sound in the Southern Rock Fad. 1976- transition, but still writing some great songs (under-rated Gimme Back My Bullets), but with the wrong producer. 1977, Van Zant goes too country but the band is saved by Steve Gaines and their own control in the studio. Flash forward - 1987 to present, Truly dumb rednecks who kick out the most talented (Ed King), lose the most charming (Leon Wilkeson) and gain a no-talent dumb hick (Johnny Van Zant) as leader. Absolutely horrible, music for dumb rednecks, which you prove by saying anyone that hates Skynyrd isn't from the south. On behalf of all the people not from the south, keep these idiots to yourelves. And I worshipped them as a kid. Plane crash - tragic. Regrouping- pathetic. Skynyrd just plain sucks. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the essence of rock. | Reviewer: Dave ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Their music is the life blood of my being! i'm forty years old,been a fan since i was thirteen,most of my memories as a teenager are represented by the band.Their music is pure poetry-Ronnie van zant was an absolute wizard at putting words together-one of the greatest front men to ever live!the triple guitar attack is undaunted.Their music has an absolute down home feeling which touches your heart,mind and soul it is very special.Seen them in concert,they were one of the best concerts i ever seen.If you don't like Lynyrd Skynyrd your not from this country period...check to see if you have a pulse!they are AMERICANA!Can't wait for the new CD GOD AND GUNS-I'll take two copies THANK YOU!LONG LIVE SKYNYRD!!!. Still making sense | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Tomorrow's Goodbye performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Who would have believed it? An environmental song by Lynyrd Skynyrd! Well, if you know the band, then you would know that this is not the first time they've sung about the killing of our planet. In 1976 they released "All I Can Do Is Write About It", a slow country ballad lamenting the slow creep of the concrete. In this tradition, the 'new' skynyrd has created a beautiful, powerful, sweeping ballad in Tomorrow's Goodbye. Johnny Van Zant's vocals are pushed to the absolute limit, but he carries it off beautifully and backed by the ever tight, clever and interwoven guitar, bass, and keyboard parts, this song is the real deal. I would not be surprised if Greenpeace or some other green lobby did not pick this up as their theme song. They might be dropping like flies and aging beyond recognition, but these guys have still go what it takes, and are still making sense. I wonder if anyone will listen. THE BEST EVER | Reviewer: JOSH ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd SKYNYRD IS THE BEST BAND EVER THERE IS NOT ONE SONG THEY HAVE YOU CANT LISTEN TO AND WHO EVER SAID THEY SUCK YOU ARE NOT FROM THE SOUTH ZEPPELIN WAS A DRUG INDUCED ACCIDENT SKYNYRD WAS ALL TALENT AND THE BEST GUITAR ATTACK EVER ASSEMBLED ALLEN COLLINS AND STEVE GAINES AND ROSSINGTON DESERVE THE UP MOST RESPECT AS GUITARIST AND RONNIE VAN ZANT WAS A MUISCAL GENIUS. SKYNYRD WILL LIVE FOREVER THERE MUSIC IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND THE OTHER DAY I WAS READING A ARTICLE ONLINE AND I SEEN THE TOP 100 ROCK SONGS OF ALL TIME AND FREE BIRD WAS LIKE 85 AND SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT WAS LIKE NUMBER 10 AND STAIR WAY TO HEAVEN WAS NUMBER 1 THE DEVIL WORSHIPING SONG IT MADE ME SO MADE FREE BIRD NUMBER 85 NO SIMPLE MAN NO SWEET HOME ALABAMA NO THAT SMELL NO GIMME THREE STEPS NO CALL ME THE BREZZE THOSE SONGS ARE BETTER THAN STAIR WAY TO HEAVEN ANY DAY SYNYRD FOREVER Truly, the best "band" on earth | Reviewer: John Springer ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I was in "high school", when Lynyrd Skynyrd first came out and started buying their albums and still am, and I'm 52 yrs. old now. I think that they are the "best" band ever and since "my" mother was born in Missouri than I have a little bit of the south life in me, than that is probably the reason I love Lynyrd Skynyrd. I am very sorry for all of the people that the band, has lost, over the years! I went and saw them in concert, for my first time and enjoyed them. Anyway, I hope that the band keeps going, forever! Dichotomy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Tuesday's Gone performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Tuesday isn't the name of the woman. Tuesday is when she left. However, she's not leaving permanently, because she's "still at home". He doesn't seem to be leaving permanently either, as he says "when this train ends I'll try again." He needs time to think. He needs to be alone. He's stuck in between continuing to try to stay with her and just leaving it all behind. However, the reference to the specific day she left might point to a hidden reference of the fact that he's not gone permanently, but just for the "blues day". He's pretty much taking the day off and this song was written right in the middle of the apex of his polar emotions. That's why it seems like a dichotomy exists in the song. Neither his staying or his going is finalized. It's a song of the moment. Dear Savannah, | Reviewer: Valhalla ------ About the song Sweet Home Alabama performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd I also love classic rock and think you are spot on about pop music today. To me it's crap. It's not even real music anymore. It's just noises produced by a computer. The Who's song: long live rock said "long live rock... Be it dead or alive." I agree, long live rock but, I'm afraid it's dead. The last great bands were #1 nirvana. Then the foo fighters, STP, Alice in chains, etc. I think alternative was rocks last hoorah. Lynard Skynard kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Matthew Andrews ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I personaly think Lynard is ausome and I also feel that if you don't feel this way then you can go to hell. I mean iook at Free Bird how can you not love that song it's got what's in the movies these days action,Heartbreak, a love story gone wrong. And on the other hand you have Sweet Home Alabama" Also one of the greatest songs of all time." How Can't you love songs about love heartbreak, and also this song is a song you can party to all night long. classic skynyrd | Reviewer: bladeofdf ------ About the song Things Goin' On performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd i love skynyrd. theremy favorite band. I love this song cause i like the way ronnie wrote the song. Theres a lot of things goin on and the goverment is wasteing time in space and waging war when there is plenty of things they need to be taken care of here. The best will always be forever | Reviewer: Teresa Simmons ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I loved Skynard every since I was 14. I am 51. I have all the origianl albums and in my car is every CD. Tuesday's Gone with the wind is off the chain. But to truly listen to the real skynard, listen to Am I Losing......The music they play will be in my soul till I leave this world and Freebird will be played at my funeral. Still to this day no one can play like Allen Collins, truly one of the greatest. Ever Fly free friend. | Reviewer: Gabriela ------ About the song Freebird performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd The first time I really heard this song was when my best friend and other guys played it, I felt it. But now I can't hear it without cry, my best friend was killed 4 months ago and, and for some reason, the song that most remind me of him is Freebird. Lynyrd Skynyrd ROCKS!! | Reviewer: Cheyane ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I love Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have listend to their awsome music ever since I can remember. I can't remember a time when I thought that Lynyrd Skynyrd wasn't the best Band. They are the best band ever. This one band, gave us all a favore of music. and I will continue listening to their wonderful music and I will love them forever. Thank you... You have done so much for us. again, Thank you. What it's all about. | Reviewer: Confederate Boy ------ About the song Saturday Night Special performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Look guys we can bicker and fight all decade about wether handguns need to be banned. But that is not what we are bloging about (correct me if I'm wrong). This is about the song and how good it is and what it means. I personally believe that this song is not that simple. It's rather accusing people's evil ways and how the handgun is used to acomplish it. It is probably more a lesson on how we as the human race should be more careful and more considerate of our lives and the lives of those around us. But it is not necesarily anti guns. Simple man explains my life with freebird being last thing | Reviewer: Danny Goodman ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern Fried Rock is almost over no new stuff except with Johnny Vanzant and Donnie keeping it alive i am 51yrs. Still have Blackfoot,ARS.Marshall Tucker, But if any one could take the ball and run with it Johnny Vanzant did as long Johnny is alive Ronnie will never die. God be with the Vanzant always. ask my son Jason hes 28yrs. He already knows simple man an freebird will be played at my funeral.you can,t keep a GOODMAN Down and Skynyrd will always be in americans hearts forever.I am from Kingsport Tn, thats our National Anthem.Free Bird and Simple God Speed to all of you. Gimme Three Steps | Reviewer: Ashley ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Seriously people spell it right its not Lynard Skynard its LYNYRD SKYNYRD! I'm 16 and Lynyrd Skynyrd is my favorite band. I saw them this past summer with two original members Billy Powell who died yesterday on piano and guitarist Gary Rossington and they were amazing. And whoever said Lynyrd Skynyrd sucks;sucks wiener. Other than that keep on rocking! Free. | Reviewer: Semsu ------ About the song Freebird performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd It´s hard to finally write something like: "This song is so awesome that it´s stupid to try and put into words what you can feel while listening to it" and most will read it as a default comment, without much thought put into it. But I mean each and every word to the fullest. This song touches your soul.
