Lynyrd Skynyrd-1977 Tokyo/Ronnies Hat incident [Cameron Crowe]

[@joleneloveland2942]

I feel for Ronnie. I bet that stuff got old indeed. In my heart ♥️ forever.

[@jackienemecheck4676]

The Greatest whiskey rock n roller there Ever was . R.I.P. Ronnie

[@lsunationalchamps08]

He will never be forgotten

[@rudolfschenker]

back in those days, these guys all lived the lives they sang about in their songs - whiskey, fuckin', fightin', and rock 'n roll. That was their life. When Ronnie sang "I'm a whiskey rocka roller" he was 100% being himself.

[@willhollon3538]

commenting on ronnie’s bday, best to ever do it

[@judithcohn7878]

Ronnie was just a good good man. The more I learn truly who he was the more I wish more people today saw life the way he all did. I never knew he liked disco until now! Thank you guys for defending that poor girl!

[@rebelwithacause3574]

Well I doubt Ronnie liked disco lol He did say the promoter put this on for the band and played 'on the hunt'. Please don't destroy my image of RVZ 😅

[@KarlMcCoy-d6y]

That's the way he was all of them

[@nathueil1]

I wanna thank em too Judith Cohn.

[@turbocoma]

Ronnie smiling at you is even more frightening than just being hit...

[@ougigaming8710]

Don't ever take another man's hat Ronnie just like Wild Bill Hickok let him have it...... amen Lynyrd Skynyrd forever

[@nathueil1]

It’s just a hat. No need for puttin up the dukes.

[@suttybuddy7273]

Where I come from you don’t mess with a man’s woman or his hat-Jase Robertson. No need to fight could’ve called security if the club had any especially after a girl was fondled and terrified. Could’ve asked nicely for his hat back. He was like that because he was from a rough neighborhood in Jacksonville Florida. I’m pretty sure every huge Skynyrd fan knows the story.

[@hollievaden6630]

Poor Mr. Udo. If he’s still alive should write a book about all of the shenanigans that the American bands put him through. I have heard so many bands tell stories about what they did in Japan and Mr. Udo is always the one trying to keep them out of trouble.😂😂

[@WhiteOak09]

Surprisingly The Hunt & Whiskey Rockin Roller are my two favorite Skynyrd songs.

[@mrwilliamwonder]

the live version?

[@rebelwithacause3574]

Bullets! Give me back my bullits- Fire 🔥 😤

[@WhiteOak09]

@rebelwithacause3574 absolutely and to me about 99% of their songs is awesome, even the 2nd gen. of the band.

[@rebelwithacause3574]

@@WhiteOak09 100% of the 70s stuff is great imo. Beatles tier great. Not really into the tribute band. Ronnie and Allen really made that band.

[@TheSteveSteele]

Me too. On the Hunt, Whisky Rock a Roller, Saturday Night Special and Battle of Curtis Loew are my favorites.

[@kevinallen6197]

Anaheim 77 freebies. All their best songs. Had a doobie burning the whole day. The good old days. Long live the whiskey rock n rollers.

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you 💘

[@SpunCirclist]

The world needs Ronnie Van Zandt

[@AudiophileTommy]

Especially NOW ❤

[@DavidDempsey-j2d]

No D in Van Zant

[@gingerblair2932]

I wish the traveling man could travel back to us!

[@brianmahoney9388]

That was a great story! I’m a whiskey rock and roller that’s what I am!

[@bretthumphrey6821]

I love this story so much

[@mattdoe2368]

Lmao try living life that way now youll be arrested or sued because you stood up to that person and if you hit them they will cry

[@JAMESGANG-f5u]

You’re just scared

[@Mike-rp8ev]

Another great story 😉

[@jackienemecheck4676]

Cameron Crowe is famous also. Wrote for Rolling Stone magazine. I believe he directs n or produces movies.

[@montygiles7684]

He wrote the book "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" Abd he did "Almost Famous"

[@markc4050]

And one time married to Nancy Wilson/Heart @@montygiles7684

[@TheSteveSteele]

On the Hunt is a great song. One of my favorites on the seriously underrated Nothing Fancy. It’s kinda the Working for MCA of that album.

[@klmullins65]

Great story...but speak up a bit, Cameron...I felt like I was overhearing a telephone conversation

[@gewdferyew4844]

I think the overall audio of the recording is low and not his speaking

[@tabbyjoe4984]

I thought all that loud music had finally got me! Dug the story.

[@OrdoSanctiBenedictus]

I wish I could afford that hat.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Me to wish I had that hat now id put it in a sealed environment so hopefully air couldnt get to it that hat would be priceless to me

[@carolancarey992]

cant hear a thing You tube!

[@Rich-kp1eu]

Volume is so low, I can't hear shit.

[@chrisandlindasmith9665]

Volume was too low

[@roadkingdream]

Sound check please

[@Dean-m7w]

I seen a episode of Pawn Stars that he said you threw it to him. He wanted to get 25,000 Dollars for it. They offered 10,000 and refused.

[@Dean-m7w]

A hat from Ronnie Vanzant Not the one that you are talking about

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Im from alabama u dont mess with a man's hat we take that as u wanna fight 100% facts !!

[@shannonpatrick77]

Yeah Im from Virginia and that has always been a sure way to a fight. Knock my hat off my head or spit in my face I can take anything but that.

[@nathueil1]

@@shannonpatrick77 Poop in your shoe?

Oh gawd get over it, it’s a damn hat.😂

What did he say Ronnie's favorite song was?

[@tommytwomommy]

Jamie Strynzel Jackson Browne - These Days

[@jstrynzel]

@@tommytwomommy Thanks.

[@ishatype2764]

Gregg Allman did a great version of that song.

[@snapesnapeseverussnape2015]

It's an awesome song

[@bulletforbrains9684]

David Allan Coe also did a great version of the song

[@kikcodog]

Great story...

[@bretthumphrey6821]

Whos telling tbis story???

[@OzArt]

Jo jo was all over Ronnie!

[@lsunationalchamps08]

Story goes that Ronnie loved strong brash women, and jo jo definitely had that personality

[@sallymccarty5251]

Oz Art You really shouldn’t spread falsehoods..they were great friends and that’s it. End of story.

[@lsunationalchamps08]

sally mccarty I mean technically it’s not a lie, just look at the picture..she’s literally on him lol

[@kristenpence3591]

I noticed that in several pictures as well.. kind of makes you wonder.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Read on some forum that Allen and Ronnie shared her on the road, as they did many others.

[@SarahJoDannetteGosa]

See Ronnie in his own way defended that young girl

[@SarahJoDannetteGosa]

I just read a comment blaming Ronnie for making Cassie got on the plane that day as if he knew it would crash and also what a bully he could be allegedly so this is is refreshing to hear that he actually in a way stood up not just for himself but for a young female fan

[@2a2day]

Who’s speaking in this video?

[@imunchienandalusia]

can you bump up the audio on this just a little? Can barely hear

[@LynSkyn1981]

If I do that I would have to delete this video and then reupload it and lose all the views and comments the best thing I can say is just higher up your volume or your computer or what ever u use you're listening to this on

[@imunchienandalusia]

@@LynSkyn1981 understood, thanks for the content

[@RaiderX948]

Euro German trash, it took a Good Ole Boy to set them straight, Rest In Peace Brother, R.V.Z. was the real thing.

[@tedperry6466]

since I can't hear any of the audio, but going by the video. This should be title The Allen Collins hat incident. Why is he wearing a swashbuckling pirates hat??? He looks like he's 6 yrs old. LOL. Damn can't believe only Gary, Artimus and Leslie are the only surviving members from this video

[@JAMESGANG-f5u]

Sounds a little bit embellished

[@SPGRAMPA1]

Sounds like Artimus?

[@joeyknight6968]

Cameron Crowe

[@Turntuppusha]

What does that mean

[@mrcharlievarrick116]

Arked and we all know why.

[@Turntuppusha]

What that mean?

[@joes1804]

Who was Cameron crowe?

[@dant205]

Joe S writer for rolling stone. See movie almost famous. That’s his movie. Legendary friend of Skynyrd.

[@joes1804]

dant205 so he went to Japan with them?

[@dant205]

Joe S Yes he went with them in 76’ I believe the band in almost famous is partially based off LS. Check out Cameron’s story about LS and his history with them and many other bands. He discusses the Japan Tour in his blog. Check it out. www.theuncool.com/journalism/lynyrd-skynyrd-an-oral-history/

[@obbor4]

He's was also married to Nancy Wilson of Heart for over twenty years.
