ZYDECO? 🎵 LYNYRD SKYNYRD "GIMME THREE STEPS" REACTION

[@MrEarley]

One of the greatest honky-tonk songs of all time!! Dude didn't want no trouble, he was just lookin' for a good time 😂

[@thatsjustnotfair5888]

What does honky-tonk mean?

[@MrEarley]

@@thatsjustnotfair5888 A honky-tonk (also called honkatonk, honkey-tonk, or tonk) is both a bar that provides country music for the entertainment of its patrons and the style of music played in such establishments. - from Wikipedia So basically it's a Country & Western bar where folks drini and dance and have a good time.

[@RiverRat1953]

My personal anthem.

[@lantose]

Call Me the Breeze is one of their greatest hits and is very upbeat with a great lead guitar and piano solo!

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

Call Me the Breeze made me a LS fan. So I bought the LP. It had this song on it: SWEET HOME ALABAMA. I never heard it before. The first time I listened to it I thought it was a rip off of Rolling Stones STRAY CAT BLUES.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

another toe tapper is "I Know a Little"

[@marckusel5602]

but did you know its a J.J. Cale song?

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

Very nice suggestion.

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

@@marckusel5602 Yes, I did.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Took me a while to realize "and the water fell on the floor" was him wetting himself out of fear. Makes me smile

[@philpennington826]

LOL yeah WAY back in the olden-timey days of yore, "making water" meant "taking a pee".

[@BrettLesPaul]

Oh cool! Never realized that.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

A much classier way of saying pissing yourself 🤣

[@Peter-oh3hc]

@@brettkenschaft4239 yup

[@rick5440]

Based on something that really happened to Ronnie (singer.) He wrote this the night it occurred, I believe.

[@ShaunHensley]

Probably happened a lot

[@SonicImmersion_]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Saturday Night Special", a story about a shooting, an excellent one too, with awesome slide guitar. Ronnie apparently wrote that one due to having been shot himself.

[@tuesdaysgone6736]

Correct, Ronnie went into the bar Gary and Allen were to young, waited outside in Ronnie's car..... Ronnie came running out jumped In and hauled ass....wrote the song, heading down the road.

[@Huffnutz17]

Gary said Ronnie didn't tell the guy "gimme three steps"....but he told him "if you shoot me, you'll only hit my ass or my elbows"...... Ronnie, Gary and Allen were all there that night.

[@mage1439]

@@Huffnutz17 I remember that story. It's pretty awesome.

[@wompa70]

Song says “that’s my woman there” and Brad’s like, “I don’t think it is.” So true!!

[@BillB23]

Really! No need to commit ADW over a faithless woman. Cry your tears and move on. Felonies are not needed in this instance.

[@827dusty]

One of Lynard Skynyrd's Best songs. Gotta love that southern Rock. More great music from the 1970s.

[@wallacelambert9308]

I'm proud of you Brad. You got the story and actually had to explain it to Lex ...awesome. You nailed it again lex. This song has been played at many barbecues and fish fries and parties etc

[@mattpahl1281]

“Linda loose” lol

[@genebaker6964]

I was stunned to see Lex missed the story line. Guess that's a first.

"I'm proud of you Brad. You got the story and actually had to explain it to Lex ...awesome." Any chance you could be any more condescending, Wallace?

[@jerilynbowler6321]

I love how Lexi danced the whole time. I can’t sit still either when I here this song!

[@charlesmarkley220]

Such a fun song. Inspired by a true story.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

This is probably my favorite Skynyrd song! I love how it really paints a picture! It's got some funny lines..."I said excuuuse me" and "the water fell on the floor" (pissed himself 🤣) . Saturday Night Special is another great one.

[@neillenet291]

So many great Lynyrd Skynyrd songs to choose from. Saturday night special, the needle and the spoon, working for MCA, poison whiskey. Lot's of em.

[@Sad-Rocker]

Really should check out "give me back my bullets" by SKYNYRD think lex would love the guitar!!!!!

[@Madcat1776]

Totally agree!! Gimme back my bullets”

[@garytrew2766]

For shore, gimme back my bullets, great song. Keep rocking brothers and sisters of the Skynyrd Nation. Brother Gary

[@hoopsfreak5]

And after that do the "remix" version with Kid Rock and compare thoughts

[@steveesteban9669]

That song ends way too early

[@cmccracken5976]

It's Southern Rock from the 70's. Love it

[@andymcbam]

There is a documentary on Netflix called "if I leave here tomorrow" it is a pretty good documentary about the band.

[@ernielopez6924]

Love the way Lex , is always feeling the music .. After all that's what it's all about . 👍

[@freebirdtony]

Thank you so much for a 'Skynyrd reaction. A true tale. Ronnie Van Zant wrote this classic on his ride home from that incident. Peace Out😊✌

[@darrylgarvin3002]

Thank you. The fact that you appreciated the humorous story that synergizes with the quintessential Southern Rock in this song, makes your reaction the best I have seen for this one. Love to listen to Skynyrd's "Saturday Night Special" and " I Ain't the One'" while driving.

[@djl9919]

Skynard is 1 of my all time favorite bands. Great channel, great music.

[@callmeoutlaw6601]

So Glad you finally got to hear this one Brad. Happy Thanksgiving guys

[@barbaracollins385]

This song was played in every southern bar and honky tonk nightly. Sure got folks up and moving.

One of my favourites to do at karaoke. Definitely need to do Tuesdays Gone next

[@rondawildey5801]

All of the songs were written by the singer and true stories of their lives. Southern Rock and rock

[@blaiseprisciotta553]

A great Skynard classic.

[@annaoswald5943]

Oh No!! You guys were slightly cut short on the killer outro, I'm glad you were still able to hear the kick-ass story telling. Keep the Skynyrd coming. "Call me the Breeze" is straight heat!

Another vote for "Don't Mess Around With Jim"

[@JohnVanRuiten]

I danced to this song 10' from Ronnie Van Zant at the Whiskey on their first trip to California. I saw em 3 nights with 2 shows ea cuz I loved these guys so much and the girl loved the song, so I danced.

This song was a favorite in the pool halls when I played in the pool league. We travel to a different bars and play a different Team every week. This song would always be blasting

[@twisted2291]

Great Southern Rock. And Lex. You are 100% right. Drunk at the bar, BBQ, or just a bonfire. This song comes on, and people start dancing and have a good time with it.

[@sarahdixon1943]

One of my favorites by them!!!!

[@annaoswald5943]

I sat in disbelief when this song lost to BOC's Godzilla during a recent Brad & Lex live stream.

[@BrettLesPaul]

Right? I mean, I am a BÖC fan fan but Godzilla is no match for Skynard!

[@John_Locke_108]

So bizarre. This song was stuck in my head 4 hours ago. The radio wasn't even on.

[@bullshitcaller1541]

Lex...YOU CRACK ME UP!! You totally get the southern thing.

[@willdpj]

Great job once again @Brad & Lex...Lynyrd Skynyrd has a massive library of music. As a Alabama native myself these southern rock classics straight out of Muscle Shoals, AL hit hard. I love you two's insight into all genres and look forward to watching content. Stay classy guys and have fun we only have one life :)

Man let me tell ya,i grew up here in Florida and i went through the same thing this song sings about more times than i care to remember, but man was it a fun time back then it was like the wild west here and i hit every small bar i could find , damn im lucky im still here

[@stephenbiggins9114]

[@sherryarflin726]

One of the three best southern rock bands of all time. The other two being The Allman Brothers and The Marshall Tucker Band.

[@jessepruit8385]

They are more than just southern rock. These bands play extended sets on songs. I saw I saw Marshall Tucker do a 3+ hour show. A show of about 1,000 family basically a back yard show in a country back yard. My girls friends band opened for them teen agers rocked the house before they came one of the best shows I have been to.

[@sherryarflin726]

Jesse Pruit, so how does that change the fact they were a southern rock band? I’m well aware bands play outside their normal venues at time. So I fell to see your point!

[@jessepruit8385]

Love to see you both react to songs that I grew up with and treasured in the 70s and 80s. I listened to Skynard's debut album endlessly in junior high and high school - and still do ;). I think it's time to listen to TUESDAY'S GONE. One of their several masterpieces.

[@kristopherreynolds4698]

Hope you guys keep listening to these great classic rock Songs I’m a fan of all music and love a lot of different genres but this is the stuff that got me into loving music

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

This is a true story. Ronnie was dancing “cutting the rug” a lady and this guy walks in. I’ve been to The Jug, where this happened. It was called Westside Tavern at the time, but “The Jug” was a better fit.

[@angushiltz4880]

The band members later said Ronnie said " you'll have to shoot me in my ass or my elbow. " then turned and walked away. A lot of their songs are about real incidents. I think that's one of the reasons this group connects with such a wide range of people.

[@nathanpadilla213]

This song just like so many of their songs is a very true story. He used the line "give me three steps" as he ran.

[@LoganTravisDark]

If I recall the story correctly, it actually happened to Ronnie Van Zant, the lead singer, and he said to the guy , approximately, " You gotta shoot me in the asshole or elbows, cause that's all you're gonna see." I read the story a long time ago, so it may not be word for word, but that's as I recall it.

[@Gutslinger]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is probably my dad's favorite band, and this song is probably his favorite song by them. It's between this and "What's Your Name." They sound similar.

[@jamesredman1263]

The Southern bar in the 1970s. This song really describes how things were for too many people at the time and place. Somebody was always looking for an excuse to fight or even kill. In my home county where I grew up in South Carolina, an illiterate man was being given an oral driver's test and was asked the three most dangerous places to pass, and responded with the names of three redneck bars. I worked in a hospital in a mostly rural county, and during the mid 1970s we would have someone seriously injured or dying or dead arriving from these places almost every weekend. One of the other hospital employees described partying at a small club/bar in north Georgia and it was going well until one of his friends offended the locals somehow and things got nasty. His group grabbed their buddy and threw him in the car and left in haste, but two or three carloads of guys followed them. He said he was driving like a maniac to get ahead and cussing his buddy simultaneously for about an hour before their pursuers gave up the chase. Oh, and then there was the guy who had left a bar after a disagreement, and the other fellow thought he was following him and emptied a .22 pistol into the front of his car hitting the radiator and putting one round through the windshield into his forehead. He limped his steaming car into the nearest town and collapsed onto the steering wheel that held the horn in front of the police station. They took him to the hospital, who sent him by ambulance to a regional hospital with a neurosurgeon. I had to keep checking vital signs and keep him talking and out of shock on the way. I wish more of those small clubs/bars were like the B-52s' "Love Shack" but I only encountered one laid-back mellow one, in Macon Georgia. And it might have just been having a quiet night.
