Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any Lynyrd Skynyrd fans?

Sure enough am a Skynyrd fan. Wore out many a cassette tapes driving the dirt roads in western Missouri and eastern Kansas with Skynyrd cranked and a cooler of road sodies during my teen years

Correct. Ronnie Van Zandt was looking for a 3rd guitar player and Cassie told him about her brother. Ronnie invited him to sit in on a jam session and before the night was out he was a member of the band. Stevie Gaines was a hell of a guitar player. He wrote the song I Know a Little and it is him playing the lead into it. Very talented dude.

I hate Freebird, but love Skynyrd. I remember when the plane went down. My friend's sister came in the house and said 'Lynyrd Skynyrd is dead'


My favorite

You can’t forget Curtis

Stevie Ray Vaughan is the other one I miss greatly

I was just rocking some Skynyrd on 8 track, nothing like the quality sound of a 77 8 track

You don't like Freebird!? You are fughed up! Go have a glass of milk. Geez.
As for the guitarists in that original band, Ed King and Steve Gaines were very good. Gary Rossington and Allen Collins were mighty good also. That song about Curtis Loew is blues supreme.

They're great. I really liked Midnight Rider.

That doesn't look like the Lynyrd Skynyrd.

You do know that is a picture of the Oak Ridge Boys don't you?

Are you stupid or somethern

That’s the marshall tucker band

I think that’s Tanya in the middle

CLASSIC

Skynyrd is one of my favorite bands. And while He wasn't the best guitar player in the band. I love Garys style and sound. Nobody else sounds like him and for me his play is the Skynyrd sound.
