Lynyrd Skynyrd - Saturday Night Special Reaction/Review

[@derrickgoodwin6192]

SKYNYRD SONGS ARE SONGS THE EVERY DAY MAN CAN RELATE TO.

[@jasonturner8840]

So they were at the "Hell House" where they went every day to practice and compose. Ed King started playing this riff and after a few minutes Ronnie walked up behind him and whispered in his ear..."Two feets they come a creepin, like a black cat do"! Just like that they were writing another monster! You are right, Ronnie never wrote the lyrics down, once he wrote the song in his head it was permanent.

[@michaellebow7420]

If there is such a thing as an underrated Skynyrd song, this is it. Always loved this song.

[@articleivsectioniv5797]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the all time best American rock bands! I think you would dig “was I right or wrong.”

[@laurakali6522]

Love their less played songs. Coming Home and Lend a Helping Hand are two good ones.

[@joeyricefried9621]

THE BEST. Endless amount of AMAZING songs. Plus they had a lot left to offer. What they left us is Timeless.

[@EPstroker]

I agree, one of my favorites.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

TRUST ME On This Classic My Music Lovin Brother...Lynyrd Skynyrd "On The Hunt"

[@hog7203]

Ronnie always performed barefoot. I've been listening to Skynyrd since they first came out. Always thought I'd get tired of they're music, but I'm 60+yo and still enjoy all their music. Glad you're getting to experience them.

[@foxchasejrt1]

He was always barefoot on stage. When asked why, Ronnie replied "Because I love to feel that stage burn"🔥 🕊 R.I.P. Ronnie 🕊

[@rnrweb1968]

Lynyrd Skynyrd created tunes that never get old!! I've heard this at least 1000 times during my life and it still jams like new! Timeless!! Great reaction sweetheart ❤❤

[@mrnobody9104]

there ya go my man Skynyrd telling truths like nobodies business!

[@dreggymon]

Gary Rossington played that solo. He is a favorite of mine.

[@alanbarger7712]

A Saturday night special was a particular, super cheap pistol you could by just about anywhere in the 60's and 70's.

[@Ryan2022]

I have lots of pistols and none of them are cheap, which is why they are a favorite item to get stolen nowadays so people are going to complain either way

[@alanbarger7712]

@Ryan2022 they were almost like plastic snap guns. Revolver with metal inside.

[@Ryan2022]

@@alanbarger7712 yeah that’s nice and it’s a great song, but there are interviews with Van Zandt who was against any hand guns not just cheap hand guns which makes no sense whatsoever. Why would someone be OK with an expensive handgun but not a cheap handgun? I know it’s hard for people to understand this, but a lot of people make a distinction between long guns and handguns. There are a lot more people who believe you should be able to own a rifle and a shotgun then a handgun they simply look at these two types of firearms differently.

[@alanbarger7712]

@@Ryan2022 did you live in Jacksonville Florida?

[@Ryan2022]

@@alanbarger7712 no did you? I’m sure it’s a pretty violent southern city and maybe Ronnie never saw a hand gun used for anything other than mayhem which inspired his song. I mean, have you ever heard a pro gun rock song I never have

[@Boatzilla2]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is more political than you would think. Always loved this song. Thanks for doing this.

[@shawnj1966]

I wouldn't consider this political at all. It's not about gun control. It's about scumbags buying cheap pistols on the street and killing people with them.

[@whoneedssantawhenthereisgr1724]

Another great song from Lynyrd Skynyrd , their music will never get old.

[@deckofcards87]

That riff is straight 🔥 arguably my favourite Skynyrd

[@mary_v2023]

All these old songs... bringing back all the memories!

[@boboelliott762]

Every man's band!!!!

[@donnastupka7507]

Can never go wrong with these guys!! Big fan! Great music! Keep it up!😎😎

[@ricksloop1075]

Thanks! “Things Goin on” is another great one. Great message, but sadly as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Yes!

[@hog7203]

It's got my vote. Badass tune.

[@foxchasejrt1]

That's one of my favs too. And "Don't Ask Me No Questions" But "I Know A Little" is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamestate5059]

And to set the story straight , Ronnie was not against guns. He had a pistol and carried it when he went fishing to kill snakes . Ronnie was against how easy it was to get and carry those snubnose 38 Specials that would also missfire and blow up on you.

[@foxchasejrt1]

True that!

[@ernestodelaserna9494]

To set the story straight, listen to the lyrics: "Now why don't we dump 'em people to the bottom of the sea. Before some ole fool come around here wanna shoot either you or me." Notice he says "people". Couldn't be any more clear than that. Maybe someone needs to explain this to you with crayons or finger puppets?

[@Kegan420]

Skynyrd use to play at a tiny shack they named hell house while the band played Ronnie would go to the creek that was by it and fish while they played and he came up with lyrics.Keep up with the Skynyrd so many great songs

[@ericleonard2835]

You can do all that when you got three kick ass guitar players

[@frankhatton2089]

Ronnie Van Zant was a lyrical genius. I really can't think of a bad Skynyrd song. Ronnie Van Zant wrote some powerful prophetic songs and kept them all in his head.

[@targetshootr]

Such a great song. Not many people react to it for some reason.

[@bartstarr100]

His brother Donnie's band was called 38 Special

[@jayray6488]

My fav Skynyrd song! stoked!

[@dmCurator]

Such a groove.

[@johnsmathers190]

After the plane crash, the two survivoring lead guitarists Gary Rossington, & Alan Collins formed a new band. You should check it out. The Rossington Collins band.

[@MrDeadstu]

"Gimme Three Steps" is a great time. "Midnight Rider" is a sweet tune.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I expletive love this song!! ❤

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

Wow, I said I was gonna go find it and it just popped up like BAM! Gotta love it! AND, I've already listened cause I had hit the thumbs up. Gonna watch again just for fun!

[@brianmoon1058]

behind the wheel of a '69 chevelle with the pedal to the floor jamming out to Skynyrd. That's the way it's supposed to be heard!

[@Kenneth-z8b]

Ronnie Van Zant was a pure storyteller. Gimme 3 Steps is probably the best example

[@redsox552]

Welcome to Skynyrd Nation BizMatik it soothes your soul

[@SWTSU]

Just a fantastic tune BizMan!!!!!! Thanks for this hombre. Wonderful penmanship as well. Keep on keeping on!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!!! 😎🍸

[@troygillaspie2670]

You should do a review on Lynyrd Skynyrd - I’m On The Hunt. I think it’s one of their best.

[@tjmasson1013]

Was wondering where you been man. And you come back with a banger

[@blanewilliams5960]

I friggin' love this song, first heard it when I saw the original "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds. It is still a favorite of mine. Thanks Biz!

[@WendyWeaver-l1e]

He would go fishing they practice in a old house had no air no heat their first recordings were done in Musles Scholes Alabama.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

The next song on the album is Cheatin' Woman which has another opinion of a gun and it's use. Nuthn Fancy is a 5 star classic album..

[@dreggymon]

This song makes me chug beer by the gallon. it's a beer drinking song for sure. It triggers me EVERYTIME.

[@zebjohnson5118]

". Double Trouble " ✌️♥️

[@veganlion4328]

I grew up when Skynyrd was popular. I didn't get to see the original but did see them when they reformed twice! Look at "Cutis Leow" big meaning there and from Ronnie's young life. Thanks for featuring them they are the "every" man group. First time I had seen 3 lead players on stage at once!

[@timlenard1646]

I remember back in the day (70's-80's) the .38 special (Saturday night special) was a handgun that EVERYONE carried, including myself... how thing have changed, kinda...

[@marksims6425]

Working for MCA is a good one too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

One of their most classic songs. This was on the radio constantly for it seems like years. And we all had the record album and you heard it all the time. Yeah the instrumentation on this or as I like to say, the arrangement, is fantastic like all of their songs. It's so hilarious to go watch a bad bar band cover something like this song or give me three steps and they don't really understand or don't take the time to learn and practice all these various counter-posing lines that go on in their arrangements. It's like a jigsaw puzzle that fits together just like it should. Instead you know they're playing basic chords and kind of a standard bass line and it's just not the same at all. It's not Lynyrd Skynyrd unless you have the complexity of the structure of it even though they make it sound simple during all the supporting Parts before totally going off on solos. But every second of it is just so well orchestrated and delivered. Love this band so much.

[@maryellenazack4466]

❤❤❤ skynyrd is American royalty.

[@markdragan9136]

Damn straight!

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I’ve been wondering where you’ve been. I’m glad to see you posting. Yeah, love me some Skynyrd. It was in both THE LONGEST YARD movies, first with Burt Reynolds and then Adam Sandler. Enjoyed your reaction.

[@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok]

Saw em do this in 75!

☮️💜

[@ememnicholas565]

Southern Rock is always appropriate!

[@dingusmagee3326]

The writing process, or "writing" I guess. They started out poor, and never really got rich before the plane crash, but they made music in a literal shed in Florida with no AC. They never got AC in it, some days it would be 120 degrees inside, there are stories of sweat covered instruments and just absolute shredding. Outside the shed was a cow field, you know what grows in a cow field? Magic mushrooms, that they would pick and make mushroom tea with, lots of mushroom tea. Gary Rossington said they would trip all day making music(they were known for having an insane work ethic, especially for being so young, 8 to 10 hour days), and "feel" the music through each other. After they lay a base melody or riff, Ronnie would go out to the pond and go fishing while the band hashed out the music. Ronnie would think of the lyrics as he fished, and usually by the time he was done, the band would have the song mostly sorted out. He would come inside, nothing written down and just continue working with the bros. Some of the greatest song creation of all time happened in that shitty little shed

Do 'Every Mothers Son'. Really any of their songs is worth it. I've heard every song ronnie van zant did.

[@travisricks3333]

Curtis Lowe!!

[@letstalktruecrime01]

The first verse in this song...I have always assumed the bodies laying naked was a cheating couple and the creeper was the spouse of one of them. However, after listening to it many times now I think the creeper was just a home invader/robber. What do you take away from that?

[@Wyatt-f5b]

Yeah I cried man when that plane crashed. And I have to say I never listened to anything I didn't like. They had that swagger That just sound Cool.

[@frankhatton2089]

Searchin is a good song also.
