100%. A lesson that I was taught at a very young age by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister. So many of his songs were about that very message. Helped me get through a very difficult childhood, and I'm forever grateful. 🤘

[@stevensmith4763]

I agree with this… Stop letting stupid people live rent free in your head. It’s easy to be an armchair, general criticizing other people instead of fighting on the front lines putting yourself out there. Are you going to take some hits? Of course you are… But it’s like the great Muhammad Ali said… Get knocked down seven times, get up eight. You’re a warrior, if you wanna be. You got this…

You literally can't do it wrong, breathe deep and have fun with it, because I know for a fact that I am having a great time watching your journey discovering the music that was (and is) the soundtrack of my life.

[@profiam]

I second that motion!

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

Fun fact: this song was a response to Neil Young's blistering condemnations of southern racism in his songs "Southern Man" and "Alabama." "Southern Man" in particular is a track I'd recommend you take a listen to. While you're at it, also check out Skynyrd's "That Smell" which is probably my favorite track from them. Both are songs with something to say.

[@Freedom_Half_Off]

Neil Young's "blistering condemation " was a joke and many people knew it at the time . I'm not faulting you for bringing it up because you're absolutely correct . There is just more shade in the response than is implied 👍

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

@@Freedom_Half_Off I dunno, man - "Southern Man" seemed pretty condemnatory to me. Whether you agree with Mr. Young is a separate issue, I suppose.

[@brenthalverson2372]

If you turn it up and listen close, you can hear Neil Young sing “Southern Man” in the background as soon as they sing, “Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her”

[@loadedorygun]

It was a real beef, but it wasn’t Skynyrd defending racism as much as saying “hey Canadian, let us work this shit out without your help, eh?” Famously uninterested in being told what to do, whether to their detriment or not is another matter. I don’t think either band held the other personally responsible for what went down in the South and in this same song they make fun of the racist Governor and the trial of Nixon, so who knows! Great tune of musical history and a banger to boot.

[@markferrett700]

I have to laugh, because Give Me Three Steps reminds me of The Ballad of the Uneasy Rider. Both classics.

[@MikeytheGeek7711]

They weren't hippies. They were Southern rock. There's definitely a difference. They didn't all die in the plane crash. In fact, the surviving members toured for years with the brother of the lead singer who died taking over the vocals. The last surviving original member, Gary Rossington, just died last year. They still have lots of great songs that you haven't heard yet. I recommend you react to Gimme Three Steps or The Ballad Of Curtis Loew next.

[@dianetoberman1742]

I’m in a situation with my son in law. I love him, stupid crazy. I depend on him, I trust him, and I’m like a puppy getting pets if he decides to keep me company. Music is a real thing for me. It’s been there, my whole life. He don’t give a shit about it. I keep running through my play list, and I have to “force” him to listen or watch this song or video. Or that one. He humors me, because he is a nice man. Gosh, I want to share this with him. I’ve been all over the place with him. Everything from country to southern rock, to hard rock, to metal, and all the rest. He will listen to the song i have selected, tell me it was good, and wander off to his computer. Man, i wish i could hit on the one that makes him light up.

[@hamma4276]

There's 3 guitarists on this album and, all very distinctive and all very capable. They are Ed King (actually from California) who plays Stratocaster, Gary Rosington who usually plays a Les Paul, and Allen Collins who usually plays a Gibson explorer which really adds to the overall texture as each guitar itself sounds different. Ed King left a couple of albums later and then they were a two guitar band for a short time, before adding backup singer Cassie Gains' brother Steve Gains who also favored a Stratocaster and added a 2nd lead vocal to the lineup. Steve, Cassie, lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zandt all died in a plane crash while all but one member were seriously injured. It should also be noted that Gary Rosington and Allen Collins were the guitarists on the first album and Ed King was the bassist before switching to guitar on the 2nd album.... Cheers 🍺😎🎸

[@SnailMailShell]

I love what music does to you, Declan. Thank you for your transparency. I see your heart at 6:57 , and as a woman from the American south (yes, most of it was Alabama), my guttural response to your expression is, “Oh, Darlin!” Add in those gospel singers and piano in the background - now you’ve been brought to church.

Check out the live version. Extended guitar leads! Their whole catalog is so deep and so damn good. I was there. Saw the original band several times and went into a depression when the plane crashed. That was on October 20th 1977. My son was born on October 20th 1983. So I was finally able to smile again on that day. That Smell is a crazy predictor of what happened to them just not in the way they thought. It was released shortly before the crash. Check it out.

When played at Alabama football games the crowd goes wild...even the opposing team and fans. There is a special Roll Tide version (special in that the crowd yells Roll Tide at certain spots in the song). I was born in T'town (Tuscaloosa), but am an Army brat (meaning my father was in the Army). When we moved back from Germany in '74 to Huntsville, Alabama, this song was BIG. I have lived in Bama now a majority of my life, and No, I don't have a southern drawl, my cousins called me their yankee (north) cousin. You need to check out their song Simple Man.

They were brilliant. You’re just scratching the surface with Skynyrd. From this band’s lineup on this song, the only one who perished in the plane crash, is Ronnie Van Zant, the singer. After Ed King (one of three guitarist) left the band, Steve Gaines replaced him. Steve. And his sister, Cassie (backup singer) also died. So, three band members died and their manager. Most of the band members survived the crash.
