LYNRD SKYNRD - Simple Man || Reaction (First Listen)

[@jasondye3893]

It makes me so happy to see young cats getting in the music like this

[@oldcreekroadpictures]

Same here. There’s hope

RONNIE was a great American poet,5 Alubums tip of the ice burg❤😂🎉

[@donnis618]

"....forget your lust for the rich man's gold, all that you need is in your soul...." My favorite Skynyrd song by far

[@lloyderc]

Your in the hole now, no turning back . Greatest southern rock band ever

[@picolo4102]

Freebird live in oakland.(3 months before plane crash) great guitar. Awesome live performance.

[@garyr8739]

That is a absolute must!

[@colinmaynard2879]

I’d go for the one from my home turf ...Knebworth England 1976 🤗 a great memory

[@hpb5495]

The dancing stops but the music plays on..

[@BobJones-hw6xc]

THEIR NEXT SHOW AFTER OAKLAND WAS GREENVILLE SC ( MY HOMETOWN ) AND THEN THE CRASH. CRASHED OFF OF EASLEY RD . EASLEY SC IS A LITTLE TOWN 5 MINUTES FROM GREENVILLE. WEIRD!!!!

[@denisemay6807]

This song brings tears to my eyes because I long ago dedicated it to MY only son, and whenever he hears it, he calls me and if I hear it, I call him. Great to see a newbie enjoy it for the first time!

[@emmett-amber5456]

I think this is every southern mamas song for their baby boy. 💜

[@dionysusincarnate5713]

Sounds about right

[@andrewmendoza9461]

My mama dont like rock music shes says its devil music but when I put on this and free bird she loves it

[@jaysay7350]

even in NY we relate to this one though

[@emmett-amber5456]

@@jaysay7350 It’s a beautiful song.

[@jaysay7350]

@@emmett-amber5456 indeed!

[@ricknblueridge]

I count myself blessed to have seen them live, October 20, 1976, a year before the plane crash. Great concert (B Bop Delux and Pure Prairie League opened for them).

[@robertkaplan848]

Allen Collins one of the most underrated 🎸 in history! R.I.P Ronnie, Steve, and Cassie, and everone else that went down in that plane that perished! The music lives on, and always will!

[@mikeriley8507]

True that.

[@tarmy3619]

And the rest that died after from other things

[@lisas3545]

We were all robbed of what could have been. They died at the height of LS popularity. So many died such as Hendrix and Joplin. What would they have done through the years? Today? It's tragic.

[@blaineadams7484]

I first heard this song when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old. I'm still trying to live up to it 40 yrs later

[@Hollowsmith]

This song has SUCH a beautiful intro.

[@freebirdtony]

You sho got that right. Btw, it's the ringtone on my phone.

[@Gashouse69]

Welcome to Southern Rock!

[@jamesanderson5268]

This is my favorite Skynyrd song.

[@dilmapuelles393]

Me too

[@str5295]

Mine too!!!!

[@raramouni]

Hands down

[@davidtennien39]

Agreed...

[@RitaThePally]

The look on your face when you gotta roll that back to let it cook a second time. Brings pleasure to my soul to see that enjoyment out of this music.

[@johnjohnmcclane1818]

Probably the most tragic story in rock and roll.

[@Stopsign32v]

That would be the day the music died. But LS is a very tragic whole band story. Still to this day my favorite band though!

[@KS-dd4oy]

@@Stopsign32v to be honest "the day the music died" is not really relevant for today's music if it wasn't for the don McLean song. I'm not trying to disrespect buddy Holly or the others that died that day but when was the last time you heard someone casually listening to a buddy Holly song? I personally know a lot of people that listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd on a regular basis and I'm 23 so it's not far fetched to say that the day Lynyrd Skynyrd "died" is much more relevant today than "the day the music died" was.

[@annalisabelli4739]

Truth. Breaks my heart almost everyday.

[@lancevaughn432]

Everybody knows, Sweet home Alabama, then you can do, Free bird, Call me the Breeze 1976 live, The ballad of Curtis Loew, Tuesday’s Gone, Gimme three Steps, Saturday night special, Gimme back my Bullets, You can do anyone or do them all, and there’s 50 more after this. What’s your Name, That Smell, ....................

[@charlieroetz8825]

I Know a Little!

[@paulmcilhiney3223]

Ronnie VanZant was the man guy never wrote anything down all lyrics in his head

[@prankcollar1860]

Yup , "If it ain't worth remembering, it ain't worth singing." was his take on that. It's probably the reason his lyrics are so good, true perfectionist and expected the same perfection from his band mates if he had to use violence to get it.

[@getacare2735]

Love that you young people are bringing it back I'm an old timer 58 grew up with Lynyrd Skynyrd my favorite band of all times and this is my favorite song. Thank you for highlighting a terrific ban much love.

[@johnjohnmcclane1818]

Definitely listen to Tuesdays Gone.

[@SIMONSBDS]

Sweet Home Alabama by this Band

[@gregrambo606]

Gimme back my bullets, Working for MCA, That Smell, I ain't the one, on and on with this band. They've got plenty of great songs.

[@kayakutah]

Yeah, those are good selections.

[@jennhurl]

I've watched a few of your videos & really enjoy watching you!! I love that you are taking this journey through GREAT music. I'm coming in at 2K & I'm gonna take this journey with you. Music has been my life from the 70's up. I can't wait to see what you do next. You're gonna be GREAT!!

[@bespoke6719]

Dude, where did you come from? I like your reactions... Think I'll watch more...

[@RRodriguez1904]

IKR?!?! 😅

[@kensteel6100]

Its amazing to see the hip hop generation discover real music by people that actually play instruments

[@lilpissed1791]

Ain't that it!?

[@RobwLPOC]

@@lilpissed1791 I have watched more than one video where somebody with watching like Zeppelin or Floyd for the first time and sitting there in disbelief that they didn't realize there was a completely different level of music from anything they had ever heard before. The one guy was legitimately depressed in bummed out like he had been ripped off and cheated that it took until he was 30 years old( if I remember I might be a little off) to hear Pink Floyd for the first time. He felt like he had been robbed not being able to hear and experience music like that before in his life

[@roadkill7314]

If you've heard anything from Skynard it's probably Sweet Home Alabama. And as I've commented once before, it's ok to pause occasionally and give us your thoughts. We've all heard this song; we're interested in what you think of it! And please don't talk too much over the music. A short comment like "I am stunned" is ok but I'd rather you pause and give us your thoughts. Don't want you to miss anything good! But you're doing great so far!

[@andibobo3102]

My son, who turned 28 two days ago, will tell anyone that this is his Mommas song to him bc I have been playing it for him since he was still in my belly. I would place my headphones on my stomach for him to hear it. These lessons are what children need to hear from their parents bc they do listen and hear what we tell them. He goes to this when hard come as they do in life just remind himself of the lessons and that he has me in his corner always. Tyler Lee Momma loves you, baby and I am your biggest fan walking this earth till I am from beyond ❤❤❤

[@chamberlainachilihu4141]

This song can make someone start wondering about life in general n reminiscenting about childhood n memories

[@poppacherry2377]

Keep listening just like I do and we become closer! Music is the axe to every division!

[@blondelebanese9922]

That’s so fucking true. I feel sometimes we are educating this young generation.

[@RRodriguez1904]

Amen!!

[@Callie0715]

Love watching you groove to music of my youth, and lovin’ it. This is one of the best bands ever. They made so many great songs, so I don’t really have a favorite, I love them all, but Simple Man is probably one of their best.

[@patrickg.1170]

My haydays were 85-95. Dude. I'm soooo glad to see folks getting exposed to this. You have to remember that in 87, i was 13 and didnt have a pc, a phone, fb, etc. ALL i had was my radio and cassettes. I wld listen to them until they broke and then tape them back together. If i cldnt afford the album id stuff the ends of old cassessts and record over them from the radio. Music was all i had. It was my friend. Still is. Yes, what is created today is still music and art. But the 70s and 80s rock, heavy metal, southern rock, etc. had something special. No doubt. Do your self a favor. Dig into all of it. Itll be worth it bro.

[@thisguy8916]

...and make your own mixtapes recording from the radio...

[@Bowhuntxx78]

There’s a flashback trying to hit record at the perfect moment just as the disc jockey is trailing off 👉🏻

[@ZaneKissling]

D. Mont. I'm a 68 year old, grumpy old man but I'm loving the music and how much you get into it. If you're not careful, I'm gonna turn into a fan of yours.

[@vovinlonshin3708]

my mom played this all the time when I was a kid

[@joewindham4027]

Ahhhhh....the 70's, in my opinion the best decade musically wise. If you want to hear some more great southern rock check out Molly Hatchet (Flirting with disaster, gator country, dreams i'll never see) Blackfoot (train train, highway song).

[@Tr1hawaii]

Off the main - Four Walls of Raiford. Hit that man...one of those sleepers that only the old Skynyrd fans know.

[@dougpoe4775]

Free Bird and Give Me Three Steps are jams. Glad you reacted to this very talented band. Sadly we lost most in plane crash. Nice Reaction to great music.

[@angelaledlow6711]

So glad to see you enjoying this.I cut my teeth on this stuff

[@jasonnaylor3799]

Free Bird. Studio, and live.👍

[@carpenter2833]

The world divides us along racial lines, political lines, religious lines. Music is music no matter the color of your skin. You either have it in you or you dont! Ronnie and the rest of the band gave their heart and soul - you could feel the music, a connection. I’m 55 and I’m so glad to see a younger generation appreciate great musicians, just I appreciate the likes of Marvin Gaye and those Boys from Tuskegee, The Commodores. Long live Skynyrd. It’s the music people….

[@malianelson5082]

Love Lynyrd Skynyrd Best band ever. Got to see them about 2month before plane Crash.RIP What a band great musician writer's performers. Please react to Freebird That Smell. You will love them all . I'm a 67 year grandma Freebird is one of my funeral songs My children know they better play it or I will come back and haunt them.lol 💕 Love your reaction video keep up all your great work Love watching you. Rock On 🎵🎶

[@joeydaglio7655]

Any album before 1978 every song is greatnesses.

[@jimroe1081]

My favorite band of all time

[@willcool713]

This song and Kansas's Wayward Son are anthems of working class folks from a certain era. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the greatest Southern rock bands, period. I wish they didn't fly Southern colors, I have trouble reconciling that from growing up in the South. But they stand as tall as CCR or the Allman Brothers, and their music doesn't disappoint.

[@prankcollar1860]

You don't get them without Old Glory, I'm sorry you had to live under the yoke down south, I'm sure the oppression you experienced was unbearable and as a Southern Gentleman I must apologize for all of us here for your ill treatment and suggesting you learn to accept the band and the flag they flew around the world because they wanted to express where they were coming from.

[@prankcollar1860]

Anyone who loves this band knows the heavy influence blues had on this band and they weren't racist in any way, shape or form.

[@goldberg3772]

This may sound odd, but after watching about 15 of your vids homie I feel like I want to sit down with you and just talk about this era of music. To share my knowledge about this music and how it has impacted my life and the gift you've given yourself by doing these videos. This is somewhat new for you I think (the vids). Your enthusiasm, I see myself in you 30 years ago finding it just like you are my man D. Don't forget those lyrics bro!

[@bethhowton5768]

Welcome to Skynrd world! Hope you hear Free Bird, Give Me Three Steps, and I Need you!

[@freebirdtony]

Greetings, I just subscribed to your channel, thank you for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd. I highly suggest "Free Bird", "That Smell", "Call Me The Breeze", "Gimme Three Steps" & "Sweet Home Alabama". Just to name a few. 😊✌

Southern rock at its best Allman Brothers

[@colinmaynard2879]

Don’t overlook Little Feat!

[@prankcollar1860]

Or the outlaws

[@prankcollar1860]

Ill have to disagree and take Skynyrd over Allman bros, because of their rowdy persona's They we're just crazy kids but so disciplined when it came to the music, the only thing to momentarily tame them.

[@damiansmithey1420]

I always like to picture the worlds reaction the first time its played on the radio or when they're pitching the idea to the studio and start jamming. They had to know it was going to be aassive hit.

[@roymcmurtray9691]

Oh i know this song . I was born in 1962 so, this is my shit.... it is awesome to see new generation of men getting into this .

[@devindonovan5572]

Shinedown does an excellent cover of this song!! Brent Smith is an amazing vocalist.

[@mandyhammond8439]

I love seeing the pure enjoyment that you get from these songs that are so interwoven into my life and experiences. Makes me want you to share some of your favorite music with us, so we can enjoy it as much as you do these. For me that's what the musical experience is all about. The give and take, the exchange of emotions and thought processes through songs. To share something that speaks to your soul, that impacts who you are as a being. Maybe that's just me.

[@sirswerve2493]

A song for all us men. A song are mothers would of hinted to when we where growing up. Ronnie and his band where very on key on this one!

[@jaygrauberger7824]

Lynyrd Skynyrd Ballad of Curtis Lowe, Was I right or wrong, Gimme Three Steps, Working for MCA. That should be a good start. I love watching your reactions to some of the older stuff that I grew up with.

[@paulabynum8436]

This was called Southern Rock back in the day. Great reactions!

[@rentner66]

You`re a really good guy! I`m 72 and this should be my gravesong!

[@LiLiJo]

What remember about rock in the day was it was hard to dance to especially if you didn’t know the song. The transitions happen so fast it’s easier to bang your head, play air guitar or air drums. Basically, it’s not music to dance to but experience.

[@anthonyferruggia3202]

Great jam. Sounds like a jam my mother would dedicate to me. I'm her only son. Grew up on Skynyrd. Bad ass band. They don't make them like they use too.
