Wow where did you guys get this from never heard it before awesome ❤❤❤

Dam Mark! I am just now finding out about this! So sorry to hear of your stroke and loss of a brother. God bless you and your family! Kent

The camera guy was Craig not Greg.. Craig Reed

Steve Gaines what a talented man so sad😢

Get well soon. Sorry to hear about your brother. See you around Thanksgiving time!

I absolutely love Ronnie Van Zandt and especially original Skynyrd. Yeah I could see Ronnie in the Highwaymen, but not letting Kris go. Also let's not forget Ronnie kept telling some close friends that he didn't think he'd live past 30. God I miss Ronnie Van Zandt but who doesn't. Thank God he left us an amazing legacy!

Goes to show that even a song from 1973 (as this one is) can still help to fill a concert.

My condolences on the loss of your brother. May you be blessed with a speedy recovery. Looking forward to your next podcast.

Sweet Home Alabama is THE Southern Rock Song! It is certainly Skynyrds most well known and influential song. Free Bird is right there to but EVERYONE in the world knows Sweet Home Alabama, even if they don’t give two S@&$s about music at all, they hear that opening riff they know exactly what song it is and the band and will know pretty every word. That song brings people together all over the world, you know it’s a good time when that song comes on. Me personally I would say it’s really a dead tie with Free Bird. Can’t go wrong with either one but when I think Skynyrd, Alabama is usually the first song that comes to mind. My favorite band ever!

Please feel better soon!!!! ❤❤❤

Prayers for you get well soon ❤

I'm sorry to hear of your brother's passing and your recent illness. I hope that you recover quickly and get back to what you enjoy doing best. Take the time to rest up and think about those future episodes. I have some more ideas for some, when you get better: 1) The cars of the stars. What the members of the band drove and who the third subject of "That Smell" was, even though it's never been mentioned. 2) Why Volunteer Jam V (1979) was significant. 3) This is one for Cagey----the memorabilia of LS and what it means/when he got it. 4) The "Japan incident". 5) What would Ronnie Van Zant be like today if he were alive. 6) Guitars of the stars (I'm not a musician and haven't played an instrument since 1985), so that one's on you, your brother and Cagey. 7) 1978 and beyond. What if? Who would the band have toured with had the plane crash not happened? 8) "Cry for the Bad Man". We all know who it's about, but maybe on a livestream, we can debate who else we think it is. I have my ideas and the song points to it a bit if you read into it. 9) Recurring subjects in LS songs and what they meant at the time and are they still relevant today? (Spoiler alert: Yes). 10) Ronnie Van Zant: The man, the myth, the legend, and the other sides of him. 11) "The Mad Hatter": The man behind the scenes who was quite the character and some of his antics. 12) "Your parents always said....." Lessons in LS songs that came from parents. There are several. 13) The genesis and story behind the song "Double Trouble". 14) The influencers. Who the band looked up to, met and liked and why they were important. 15) The life of the "Broadneck Brothers". More about your family history (as you want to reveal it). I think you're more interesting than you think. Get well soon.

Get better buddy! You got this!

In about eighty two or eighty three the band Loverboy played the Fox theater in Atlanta. A local band from my hometown of Carrollton Georgia called Fortnox opened for them. Point Blank was also supposed to play that night but something happened and they didn’t show. Which was unfortunate because we heard they were a fantastic band. Sad to hear about your brother and I hope you get past your health issue.

Heal fast and take care my info.friend ..we all are praying for you and family. God bless 💖🙏

Ludes used to be very popular and heavy. Don't forget, Gary, Ronnie called him Prince Charming. Yep also the plane crash, oak tree, God I miss him, them. Live on forever, Skynyrd...

Ronnie Van Zandt was, is and will always be my music hero. I'm a musician and you guys had a point about the attraction, and I am a female singer, songwriter and, guitar player. I am a dedicated Skynyrd fan especially Ronnie. His writing is an everlasting legacy of beauty, toughness, and soul kicking truth!Love you Ronnie Van Zandt...

Sorry that happened to you, I'll make sure to pray for you

Praying for ya

Get well soon brother. GOD is Great.✝️

So sorry to hear of your stroke and your brother’s passing. You and your family will be in all our thoughts and prayers. I agree that early Point Blank were as good as southern boogie could be. And their hot guitar attack were more than great. To be honest, early Point Blank and early 38 Special kept me distracted from Skynyrd for their early years. I was attracted to the uptempo fast licks both those bands were laying down in their first couple of albums. Unfortunately, Street Survivors really got my attention and I was heading to much more so be a Skynyrd freak….. and then they were gone. Hang in there and we’ll all be expecting to see you on your future 100 videos! We all need to hear the stories you all are bringing to us!

AC didn't even work in those old planes when your sitting survivors have said that many times looks like if your going have a channel like this you would know what happened by now it was what 47 years ago

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video on Lynard Skynard which was such a groovy band and lived in Georgia in the 70s so got turned onto their music 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZbin. 😀

I give you credit, your musical taste is varied. I like LS and 38 Special (and others too, but more LS and 38) of the Southern Rock genre. I like any music from the 1950s to the modern era, just depends on what it is. Here's the burning question: Is the MTB band a "tribute" band to you? They still have one original member as you stated. I guess maybe the way to look at LS would be this: 1) The "formative" lineup up until they "made it". 2) The "classic" lineup from when they "made it" until the 1977 crash. 3) The "post crash" line up. At the end of the day, they are still the "Jacksonville 5+". It's like me saying, "I don't recognize any Pontiac that doesn't have a Pontiac V8 in it", or "I don't recognize any Pontiac Firebird or Trans Am past 1981 as they didn't have Pontiac V8 power", but at the end of the day, they are still Pontiac Firebirds/Trans Ams, even if in my mind they are "tributes". Time for a livestream to hash all of this out. LOL.

I saw then open for Skynrd in 2018 I believe

Better than anything on TV 👍

He knew he only had 30 tests on this earth. I think he was leaving Skynyrd as a way to try and get out of the deal he made with the devil.

I wouldn't say he was too big for Lynyrd Skynyrd, but he was looking at broader things beyond just singing. I suspect he would have done something with Mr. Haggard or Mr. Daniels as an example. Another dream of his was to perform at Madison Square Garden which I believe was on the calendar, but alas, never happened. For a time, the band I believe produced records under the distribution label of "Double T Productions". I think Mr. Hess might have been a choice for that solo band, or yes, Mr. Nix, I would agree with that. Not correct, ARS was in pretty good shape in 1978 or so, as "Champagne Jam" came out that year which was a hit for them. I think he could have picked a bunch of folks from "Super Jam 1978" and that would have given him a plethora of talent to choose from. I think he would have had to branch out in the 1980s and maybe get more into "Stadium Rock" as that was where things went by the 1980s. BTW: I've been Nashville, but years back in 1997. I went there on a business trip at my old job and it was a conference in the Opry Land Hotel. It was quite fun. I just remember the food was good and the homemade ice cream was so good. It was a conference that Autozone (who is based there) held for a bunch of vendors. The company I worked for at the time was a supplier to them. I left that company in 2005, and I only remember going to that conference once. I still have the "swag" from back then.

All the know is the stoned roadie would have been leading up his own band for sure

Where are ya'll from for you to be drinking sundrop? I'm from NC and I have drank sundrop all my life

I agree he was one of the best, skynyrd then and now the best but the one message he totally failed was we ain't getting on a broken fuck_ _ plane

Hand gun was made for killin, aint no good for nothin else

Thanks guys for another great episode!! I may be just getting older(55) and RVZ’s lyrics and the boys guitar riffs have inspired me for years! There’s nothing like the feeling of hitting that A power chord and playing the intro lick to “THE SMELL” on my Les Paul……….words to live by!

Who are these 2 guys, and what is their affiliation to the original pre 1977 crash band?

Another great show guys

It would be interesting if you counted the number of times Ronnie invoked the name of the Lord in his songs. I bet he did that far more than any other singer. Thoughts?

Mr. Van Zant ran the spectrum of subjects: Politics, Current Events: Sweet Home Alabama, Lend a Helpin' Hand, etc. Situations: Double Trouble, I Ain't the One, What's Your Name? Relationships: Simple Man, Was I Right or Wrong? Cautionary: Needle and the Spoon, That Smell, Cry for the Bad Man, Give Me Back My Bullets. and on and on. Not correct, AC/DC songs were about much more: Jailbreak (being in jail, as Mr. Scott was incarcerated as a young man), Night Prowler (about a boy who sneaks into his girlfriend's house at night) and was also what the media coined serial killer Richard Ramirez in the 1980s (who was rumored to be an AC/DC fan), For Those About To Rock (about rock and roll living on), and many others. Plenty of other bands have message songs, and you don't have to look far from Jacksonville to find them: 38 Special, "Hold on Loosely" (giving your partner space/if it's meant to be, it will be), "Chain Lightning" (lust/playing with fire in a relationship), or: Atlanta Rhythm Section: Imaginary Lover (loneliness/sexual gratification), So Into You (profession of love), among others. Without getting political, I believe we've gotten to where we are today because of the breakdown of the family unit. True, people from good families can get in trouble, but the statistics are that people that get in trouble often came from a bad home life. Oddly enough, a group of us want to go to a shooting range on our downtime in Florida when we're on a business trip. I learned gun safety from a friend of mine who was in the ROTC and I shot for the first time with him, going target shooting at his parents' summer home. On GMBMB, some of my favorite songs are: Double Trouble, Roll Gypsy Roll, Cry for the Bad Man and of course the title track from the album. Au contraire, Mr. Van Zant was VERY complicated. He was a rebel and a gentleman. He was a drunk and a scholar. He was a redneck and a class act. He was (likely) a bit unfaithful, but a family man. He believed in "Better Living Through Chemistry", yet he spoke against it in some ways. Actually, while the song "That Smell" is about Mr. Rossington aka "Prince Charming", it's also to a very much lesser degree about Mr. Collins. Both Mr. Rossington and Mr. Collins wrecked vehicles on Labor Day Weekend of 1976. Mr. Rossington wrecked a Ford Gran Torino into a tree on Mandarin Road in Jacksonville whilst high on Quaaludes and alcohol, and Mr. Collins wrecked/rolled a Jeep, but wasn't seriously hurt (that time). They are no longer much of an issue because of government intervention and manufacturing restrictions now. What a lot of folks don't know is that Mr. Powell also had a "That Smell" incident around 1975-1976 when he whilst driving a Pontiac Trans Am (best I can tell from the photos, 1975-1976) and hit a policeman's wife, wrecking the car. Mr. Powell was arrested after a "leafy green substance" was found in the car. It made the front page of a local paper and I wish I could find it. I saw it on a video on YT at one time, and I can't find it for the life of me. Your brother is right, there was no fire at the crash site, and this is confirmed by the NTSB report. This was because the engines had exhausted the fuel supply, except for maybe a quart of residual fuel in the fuel system components.

I know; I know about the needle

I believe Ronnie was sober when they recorded Street Survivors because Gene Odom said he was cleaning up his act and I believe him. Gene also said Gary hit every oak tree in Jacksonville lol but Allen definitely did have an accident almost everywhere in Jacksonville from what I’ve heard. Supposedly his drivers license was suspended for life but I’m not sure about that

When I listen to Ronnie sing its almost like he’s singing to me because I feel his emotions and I get the message of each song and being able to easily understand the message that is written in a song isn’t something that every singer/songwriter isn’t something most songwriters can do. I’m able to relate to every song Ronnie wrote in one way or another. To me he’s the most prolific songwriter of all time. The Needle and the Spoon and Am I Losing are two of my favorite songs ever. This was a great episode. You guys nailed it 💯

Bob Seger had message songs also!😊

That's not how you play it loser

I would love to pick your brain so to speak and to get all your blackjack tips .i have taken the blackjack apprenticeship with Colin so im familiar with a lot . I know basic Strasberg well too ! However I have had better luck with your strategy than counting even though all your card counters say no strategy works ! But yours seems to work more than counting both have bad variants . I sure would like more info or anything you would like to suggest ! My bankroll is 15 k

Noticed the DBT album... Very cool

Loved the original skynyrd. Worked their self hard to get where they were.

The name of the venue was Funocios, not punocios, with all due respect.

Not let it be ,.. Hey Jude.

Who are these 2 guys, and what is their affiliation to the original pre 1977 crash band?

Thanks guys for a great episode! I also enjoyed the comments as Kent gave as he wrote back to the other people posting Thanks again 🤘🏼

Great show again
