Lynyrd Skynyrd - I Need You (REACTION)

[@oldskool4612]

As a 64 yr old man now I can't express enough the sense of loss I felt when that plane went down in Oct of 77. Thanks for continuing to stir my soul gents ❤

[@bobcorbin3294]

I'll be 66 this year and I'll never forget seeing the evening news and hearing about it there. They were supposed to have a concert about an hour from where I live later on that month.

[@janicez2630]

I hear ya. At almost 63 here, they were my favorite back in the day. Of course, we had so much great music back in the 70s, but LS really resonated with me. I was at the Oakland concert with my brother and his friend in 77, about 40 feet from the stage. Amazing show. I was crushed when the plane crashed, much like when we lost SRV.

[@TheCPGExperts]

Amen brother. I’m 62…same range.

[@doughuckabee8747]

This is my wife’s favorite song! I heard Ed King say in an interview once that Ronnie layed down the vocals at 4am in a pitch black recording studio in one take. A moment he would never forget.

[@randyallaben9900]

Thanks for playing this one for me, guys. Soulful as hell. Ronnie is singing with his typical emotion. It just bleeds through the speakers. Guitars are singing along with him!

[@retiredfirelt586]

This is my favorite LS song... thanks for requesting Bro.

[@randyallaben9900]

Right on. One of mine too.

[@JissenkanHonbu]

Good suggestion @randyallaben9900!

[@petermorgan5303]

Great request! Really insane to think how young these guys were making this music, all of it

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Thank you for requesting these Lynyrd Skynyrd songs! Truly one of my favorite bands ever.

[@ktwebbdevil]

Ed King's guitar oozes emotion

[@gregorypattakos7876]

One of the Greatest Bands that ever was or ever will be RIP

[@jeffpollard3749]

You're so right, when I first found out Ronnie was dead, it took my breath away. The fact that this beautiful music was gone was agonizing.

[@paxonearth]

"Man, that was a banger!" -- Airplay Beats to every Skynyrd song they hear.

[@AirplayBeats]

They have a lot of bangers!!

[@paxonearth]

@@AirplayBeats No doubt!

[@LeSnitchin]

As someone born in 2001 long after that plane crash it still hurts me that I’ll never get any more of Ronnie and the bands amazing story telling and music playing. This band is by far and wide my favorite music group ever. I could only imagine what seeing them live must’ve been like! Such a damn shame

[@robertprice6830]

Every one I knew, hung with, ever talked to was stunned when we found out about the crash. We were literally in a daze for weeks. ( some of that daze was self induced) . That being said, anyone under 35 was deeply impacted.

[@sandymiller3577]

I was 15yrs old when the plane crashed. It was absolutely devastating. I never got the opportunity to see them live. I agree, we were all walking around in a daze.

[@Joe-d3t1t]

So so so underrated. RVZ is one of the best singers in Rock history. No one can sing Skynyrd songs like him.

[@DarkStars445]

Soooo Good. Never a bad Skynrd tune!

[@williamclifford6112]

Ronnie was the one member of this band that you could not lose. RIP

[@MichaelBrown-x1q]

You guys have really kept the Soul and the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd alive and fresh in all of their fans hearts and souls! That Definitely includes me!! I just wanted to Thank both of you!!! They might be gone, but with the help of people like you make them never,ever be forgotten!!!! And I do mean the original lineup!!!!

Have you guys heard Every Mothers Son? It's another hidden gem in the Lynyrd Skynyrd catalog.

This is such an underrated Jam !!!!!

[@danielhanson4326]

This is one of my favorite songs that they did.I love this song

[@freebirdtony]

Again, thank you kindly for another Lynyrd Skynyrd reaction.👍

[@AirplayBeats]

@@freebirdtony our pleasure!!

[@timshelton8535]

Tony thanks for the correct spelling of Skynyrd!

[@freebirdtony]

@timshelton8535 ...and for those who have difficulty pronouncing it, they can always look at the title of 'Skynyrd's debut album.

[@franktrig]

Who knows what would have been if not for that tragedy. Could only imagine. Rest in Peace.

[@weshart6139]

That sound, that groove is a white-hot slow burn. Ronnie’s vocals are so intense.

[@jasonstacy5587]

On The Hunt is another great song y'all should consider.

[@jasonstacy5587]

I suggested the wrong song. LOL. I meant to suggest I 0:01 Ain't The One.

[@johnglue1744]

@@jasonstacy5587 They are both great songs so you can't go wrong.

[@cowboy-o3m]

imagine growing up listening to this kind of music everyday all of the time. we did have it so good in my generation!

[@clasmaster1471]

They got so many great songs but I promise you this is always been one of my top-tier Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. Especially back in the day and dating.

[@Festvangelist]

I can not tell you how broke I was when I heard the news of their plane crash and the end of the Ronnie Van Zant era. Love$ that band was 27 in ‘77 and saw them in Milwaukee 74 front row. What soul and they could bang them out with the very best.

[@jakeenan]

That is Skynyrd at their very best in a big studio in L.A. Yeah, this is what we do.

[@switchflow5405]

This has always been my favorite track from Lynyrd Skynyrd.🔥

[@bikermama33]

Mine too… then Was I Right or Wrong

[@janicez2630]

I love seeing reactions to Skynyrd music. Thanks so much. My music growing up as a teenager. It makes me so happy seeing younger folks enjoying it!!

[@corymh9150]

Skynyrd has so many hidden gems. This and “was I right or wrong” are two of my faves.

[@gregorysheppard2174]

Awesome job you guys no better way to start my Monday morning then some skynard live in Florida in the 70s got to listen to this all the time thanks for this

[@jeffjones6221]

My lord, I'd forgotten all about this one...what a great tune!

[@ramsin99]

I was lucky enough to have seen them 3 times before the crash. That was a sad and horrific day in rock history. They had quit the drugs and drinking around that time also. They were on their way! Please listen to some of their live stuff from the "One More From the Road" album. They were so TIGHT live. You will be amazed! Keep up the great Skynyrd reactions!!!

[@rick063092]

“They had quit the drugs and drinking “ 😂😂😂😂 can I have sone of what you’re having? The thought of both Allen Collins & Gary Rossington being sober in 1977 is a riot ..Pull the other one ..

[@bradsense7431]

Listen to their friend and long time roadie Craig Reid tell it. They had NOT quit the drinking and drugs.

[@Brainshave01]

Workin’ for MCA, Swamp Music, Downsouth Jukin’, T for Texas, etc. I envy you for what you still have yet to hear! Great job guys

[@bobshaw8319]

With the loss of Ronnie , Steve , and Cassie it truly was the day the music died

[@Regulus863]

One of my favorite Skynyrd songs of all time. From the first moment I heard it waay back in the Mid 70’s as a young teen. Thank you La @ Chee for the throwback memories of my glorious teen years.

[@David-ip1ko]

Nothing but banger after banger the best band ever yea man RIP Ronnie

[@MonicaDBrini]

YESSSS!

[@keithjames7843]

Man y’all have got to listen to Cry For The Bad Man These boys didn’t play when it comes to putting out bangers It’s almost unbelievable how truly good they really were We truly lost a blessing to music when we lost Ronnie In five short years these guys made some of the best music ever played RIP to the greatest Rockin Roll band in history As long as there’s a way to play music Skynyrd will never dye Some times when I’m listening to this band I think of how much great music we never got to hear because of that tragic day in October of 1977

[@julietate7806]

I was 17 years old when that awful plane crash happened. It was devastating to all of us diehard Skynyrd fans, and so unnecessary since the plane ran out of fuel. I was so very lucky to have seen them live, on New Year's Day 1975 in Macon, GA. I don't know if y'all have reacted to it, but "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" is a banger, for sure. Thank you for being the best of the best reactors on here.

[@davidvsr]

Never understood why this never got air play. my favorite Skynyrd tune. thanks

Try reacting to cry for the badman n coming home by them ....thank you both for doing a great job much respect ..SKYNYRD NATION LIVES ON ..THE GREATEST BAND EVER .❤

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Lynyrd Skynyrd had so many hits on the radio in the 70s, I grew up hearing those, but I never had their albums. So I'm finding these other great LS songs along with you! Thank you for that. They really are one of my all time favorite bands. It is absolutely tragic what happened & that they weren't able to go on really. When Duane Allman died, the Allman Brothers were able to continue & they went on to make great music after he died, although you can never replace Duane. But your lead singer dying is really tough. A/C D/C did manage to keep going strong after Bon Scott died, but it's rare.

[@AnonymousServant513]

Please do "i Never Dreamed " from their Street Survivor album. Another hidden gem. The last guitar solo...nuff said

[@paulwhite7972]

There is literally not a single bad song on this album. Its all top quality from start to finish and this for me is the best song on it. Pretty sure they recorded it at Muscle Shoals too. Be in no doubt, Lynyrd Skynyrd were the real deal.

[@off-kiltervapors4634]

Guys check out “First And Last “. It is a good album of some of Skynrds early songs that were recorded but never released until years after the crash. Original members.

The original 5 members of Skynyrd: Ronnie Van Zant Gary Rossington Bob Burns Allen Collins Larry Junstrom. Junstrom went on to be in Ronnie's brother Donnie's band, .38 Special, who had success in their own right.

[@Itsourright]

Not one of their most popular songs but I think one of their best. Enjoy watching you guys

Hell yeah !! Back to LS. Ronnie was on the zone here. Love some ZZ again to! Ty fellas for this one ☝️

Hey guys, I was in high school when this album came out and when they died and it was devastating. This is on my likes list as a great many other songs by this band

[@donnadubyak6504]

This is my favorite. I saw Skynyrd twice in 1976 and yes I cried the day the plane crashed.

[@fenderchamp8241]

Great tune from a great album. I remember when the crash happened, total SHOCK. We just saw them several months earlier. Was my first concert.

[@retiredfirelt586]

Oh Man I have been waiting for this song Bros! I knew... I KNEW you guys were going to love this song. Thanks Bros! 😎 Edit: It was a sad day when the Freebird went down, 😢

[@Nite37]

Curtis Lowe is a gem that I KNOW YOU WILL APPRECIATE

[@MarcEdmunds-n4g]

I was 11 when their plane crashed, so I never got to see them live. I did see them when they reformed in 1987 with Ronnies bother Johnny on lead vocals and several original members, that concert was awesome, would have loved to see them with the whole original line up.

[@genetodd1643]

There you go

[@Booderman]

The real men from the Florida=Georgia ! Green Cove Springs just celebrated their 150 th anniversary and blasted Duvaaal County Line blasting Skynyrd music all night !

[@marlonsummey1983]

I was at their last concert in Greenville SC. Had no idea until the next morning. Devastated 😢

[@donaldmillsap6413]

This is a song that's bluesy and soulful. And the guitar is not overly technical but it's smooth along with some high notes and the lyrics are simple but meaningful and exact. Ronnie's voice is perfect for this song. I love my Lynyrd Skynyrd!! ✌️🤟🤘

[@MonicaDBrini]

Waiting on Curtis Loewe y’all!

[@wheezyfrog820]

oh my gosh i remember just kicking back and getting into the song that was my teens

[@ZackHamlin1]

One of their best.

[@Thor_7577]

I was so vested in Skynyrd so when the plane crash happened, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines hurt me to my core and the only other time that that happened was when John Lennon was killed.

[@clasmaster1471]

Got to see them a few times, never the original members. Seen them at legend Valley in Ohio with Hank Williams Junior and Hank got so drunk sitting in the chair playing guitar on stage on whiskey he passed out. The good old days!

[@NG-Lespaul]

Great pick!!!!! The gems run deep w LS!!!

Y’all are absolutely going to love Cry For The Bad Man and a song no one reacts to is Trust,Am I Losing Again and Traveling Man

[@rudedogmat]

You guys are the best. Thank you!

[@arthurwoodson288]

Though there was only one original Lynyrd Skynyrd band with Ronnie on vocals, still when the band regrouped in 87 with his brother Johnny on vocals & 5 original members Ed King, Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkinson, Billy Powell, & Artimis Pyle they did justice to the original music plus the released new music beginning with the album Lynyrd Skynyrd 1991. The lineup changed over the following years & I know they have released at least 8 albums of new music as well as numerous live albums. I know many diehard Skynyrd fans are critical of the latter versions of the band, but there is something to be said about carrying on the music for newer generations. Gary Rossington the last original member passed away about a year ago & the band still tours. Hey bands change & evolve & I consider it Johnny's band since he has been fronting them for almost 40 years. As well Ricky Medlock (on guitar) was with the band in the early days before they became well known. If you check out any of their later material I suggest their 1997 album Twenty (anniversary of the plane crash) or their 1991 album. As well there is an awesome version of I Need You on their live 1987 Reunion tour album. Peace! & You guys are the Best

You are right it hurt badly went the plane crashed as I was in high school at the time and big into music especially southern rock with them my favorite band behind The Stones.

[@EddieDumont-ny1gt]

Funny you should put Skynyrd behind the Stones as far as your favorites. Skynyrd did the same venue with the Stones in the mid 70's and blew the Stones off the stage. The Stones sound great on record's but they're a let down when you see them live where as Skynyrd is the only band that went overboard with their times spent rehearsing the songs on their set list's to the point that they sounded better live and the Stones were known for not putting on a good show live, that is Mick's fault because he sounded terrible live. But hey, they both created great music.

[@KennyCamaro2364]
