I really like that give me back my boolits.

Not enough reloading songs today.

Thought he was a famous trapper.

Do you know what the verse, give me back my bullets refers to?

Just a bunch of long-haired, greasy hippies, jumping around on a stage, screaming, making fools of themselves.

-Mannlicker

Bullets on the Billboard charting from my understanding.

Not about copper and lead, but it could be taken that way.
Refers to songs moving up the charts.

Bingo!

Leanord Skinner was the high school principal for the VanZandt boys. They didn’t hit it off too well, so they named their band after him as a final FU.

Fugking Legend

You left out the devil’s grass

Thanks. Gonna partake for a bit.

If Houston 2 heard Lynrd Skynrd Live, he’d turn into catfish bait.

As I recall, Leonard was their phys. ed teacher and was less than proud of that crew.


Several years later he graciously posed for pics with them.

Bob

I’m absolutely positively unsure.

Play some skenner man.

LennerSkenner RIP .

Probably right. My memory ain’t what it used to be.

Best band ever

Beer helps

The last remaining original member- Gary Rossington passed away on March 5th, 2023.

LOL

Fugking Legend!

In the crowd that day.

This thread just proves that slight misspelling doesn’t really matter. You can grossly misspell about 50% and typically still be effective. Kinda odd.mit must mean we are super smart as a species.

10-4 A bullet added each week on the charts

I think he knew some of those boys before they hit it big.

I don’t touch any needles . That song is cool though

I guess it’s one of those things where you appreciate the man who has slipped and fallen down then regained his footing and excelled above anywhere he had ever been. If you know, you know.

There were tons of hotties in that Free Bird video! Cali!

The version off of the newer album of “Gimme Back My Bullets” with Kid Rock Rules

Seen Red Rider and UF0 at the Arena in Seattle.

Luv me some Skynyrd

Not sure about Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I believe he knew Tom Petty and didn't care much for him. Nor did I.

my sister went to high school with them , at Andrew Jackson high in Jax, FL in the early 70s. she dated a football player at that time

Gi
It sure isn't guns

Most of those guys were big anti gun

I can't git on board. Mr. Sat. night special was anti gun IMO. And some others, preaching or condescending. Saying Simple Man, slow down don't move to fast, forget your lust for the rich mans gold, and the dying trying to break a record for the most appearances in the least number of days seems so ironic.

But,,,, telling Neil Young to Fugg off was enjoyable & the guitar duo's, trios' in "That Smell" are the fugging bomb for sure.

Pros & Cons I guess.

I'll take a servin of this

The picture on the front of that albumn was taken in Jonesboro Georgia in front of the old railroad station. Jonesboro was the where the mythical town of Tara in gone with the wind was supposed to be. It’s also where a lot of Smoky and the Bandit was filmed. The place was a nice quiet rural town…then the Olympics came to Atlanta in 96 and all the projects were torn down in Atlanta and it’s residents were moved to that area. It’s now a ghetto [bleep]. Just a quick history lesson. I retired from there as a Paramedic. Mogadishu of Georgia

I think you spel'd it rong.

yeah some young ya'hoos write a song about a drunk w/a POS revolver and that makes them anti-gun

most of the lads went to Robert E. Lee high school in Jacksonville. The principal was Mr. Pomfrey at the time. The kids called him 'powder blue'. Skinner was a gym teacher and if I recall, got the lads suspended for hair length or something like that.

Greatest version of that song ever recorded! I watch that video frequently......


Frog---OUT!

One of my favorite bands.

Concur

"You remember, Leonard Skinner; He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner."

Thanks for the correction. How cool would it be to have one of the biggest rock bands of all time named after you?

You must have missed the LS documentary

Or never heard the song in question.

What exactly would you call it?

"Mister Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
That ain't good for nothin'
But puttin' men six feet in a hole
Oh, that's the Saturday Night Special
For 20 dollars, you can buy yourself one too
Here it comes
Oh, lemme tell you all about it
Hand guns are made for killin'
They ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em, people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some old fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you or me?"

They were kidding- they were drunkNstoned.

You know their stance on the 2nd amendment don’t you? Otherwise, I love their music.

Grew up on alot of that,and enjoy it today.

Anti gunners…. Not just the song, many interviews with Ronnie and Artimus Pyle the Vegan whining about it….. also Jimmy Carter supporters…. They could play, but don’t mean they were not dip chits.

Steve, you won't change slumlorrs mind- he's squares-ville man- a real drag.

I just posted this so I could jump in on the misspelling bandwagon.

And if you're looking for conservative pro-gun musicians, you ain't gonna find many....if any in rock music.

This is good:

Look for Ed King up front

And notice no billy powell (ronny had knock a few of his teeth out very recently)

Saw them a dozen times, great shows

Was cruising through the channels the other night and there they were, a Nashville concert from, I believe, 2022. On PBS for one of their fundraisers. They said they loved them some PBS, so I wondered what kind of guys they really are.

Agree though, great music.

The Netflix show on LS laid it out pretty clear. Ronnie hated guns, same with Artemus. Hell of a band though…

Maybe they were anti-Gun cos of the song based on a real incident “Gimme 3 Steps”!

Artimus Pyle is still alive.

He not original

neeguh sit down when grown folk talkin 😃

He walked away from the plane crash, thought that was good enough.
Imma go set down now.

They weren't my favorite 70's band, but they sure did some classic songs.


Jonesboro is where Tara was located in the movie, but much of the storyline is based on the true evens of Barnsley Gardens. It was a Civil War era plantation and mansion located between Adairsville and Kingston. The ruins are still there and the property is now a high end resort and golf course. There was a minor skirmish there during Sherman's march to the sea.

The place is literally in the middle of nowhere. Lots of locals don't even know it's there.

Pics of the ruins


The resort.

Gary said he ran off and didnt come back.
Of course Gary could have been in a ‘mood’ during one of those radio interviews.

Anyone notice the lightning bolt above Ed King’s head in this pic.
Ed said it was real and just happened to have been caught in the photo.

Maybe symbolic for Ed’s time and departure from the band.

Unrelated, met Ed King in a cigar shop off in Green Hills outside of Nashville. Had no idea and talked to him for 10 mins as we watched some March Madness. lol
Couple yrs before his heart transplant.

Artimus ran to a farmhouse, looking like hell, got shot at by farmer, reported crash and took first responders to scene.
( that's his version )
They got that plane because Aerosmith wouldn't take it?


Imma go set down again

Rode by it hundreds of times while living up that way below Summerville. Cousin leased the hunting rights there for years until they figured out a way to turn it into a resort.

Can't see me in that vid. The blond with the big tits was on my shoulders.

Easily my favorite of all they ever did. Lyrics were real time and prophetical. But, the guitar trio is, to me, by far their best and tightest. I graduated HS in 1972 and all their music was in my wheelhouse. ABB, CDB, Marshall Tucker Band, and on and on. Southern Rock bloomed and aside Led Zeppelin, for me nothing else came close. Strictly subjective but what a decade of music.
