Rig Rundown - Lynyrd Skynyrd [2018]

[@masterofmuppetz8000]

Rest in Peace, Gary Rossington. We’ll miss you forever ❤

[@Tonetwisters]

Rickey Medlocke drove my son all the way from Ft. Myers, FL, to Nashville, to the Gibson plant to help him pickup out a couple Les Pauls, then all the way home. Cannot say enough for his kindness and professionalism ...

[@gnr4381]

That’s awesome

[@MrMd5555]

That's awesome, what a story to add to those guitars, those are guitars you hang on to forever. I just bought another les paul from guitar center a few months ago & I've played the crap out of it but it's just not turning out to be 'the one', I wish I could pick one out of a plant like that instead of whatever the local gc has hanging on their walls

They started out with Marshall's and ended up with Peavy during the OMFTR live album.

RIP and Rock on in Heaven Gary, you left the world a lifetime of music and an Iconic Legacy.

[@forrestgump7553]

Gary Rossington is so typical Southern Boy. The slow drawl. Man has been through some shit and back. Not bad mouthing the current line up and it's been said too many times but the music they made in the 70's will still be playing 200 years from now if there are still people around that like great music.

[@lord_beethoven1169]

Forrest Gump Gary has been through a plane crash and seen his entire band come and go leaving him to stand alone as the only one left. Of course he has other band mates to make permanent memories with but the original group sticks with him forever.

3 of the most humble, gracious badasses I've even seen.

[@sylvainswift3234]

A few years ago, I only knew the music of these guys. Then I saw a documentary on the french/german Arte TV explaining the life (and deaths!) of the band. Then I understood they were actually far from the bad guys I thought they were (because of there style on stage? I don't know). I love the passion and simplicity they show here. What I notice too is the '91 "not any special" Sparky's Stratocaster. When i watch all these heavy relic Strats in shops, of course quite nice but not affordable, this makes me smile. Thank you guys!

[@darrinplatt7917]

[@lord_beethoven1169]

Third Herd not even the band members often take the guitars in and out of the travel cases themselves. usually the tech team brings them the guitar and put it away. That’s why Gary was fiddling around in the case trying to get his guitars out.

[@fendertremolo9793]

I have no clue why the hell he was trying to take out his guitar. That's so disrespectful. What fumbling, giant moronic idiot. Smh, you'd never see Rebecca or Tessa do that.

[@georgeedwards1467]

Definitely common courtesy not to pick up someone else's instrument without asking first. Hell, even when a member of my favourite band handed me their Duesenberg specifically to try out I still had to ask 'are you sure' lol

Only in extreme emergency fire gun battle or crazy woman trying to take it. never touch the GUITARS with out PERMISSION!!!!

Gary Rossington is a true Guitar God!!! A genuine man that has learned every lesson in life the hard way and I respect him for that because he's always been a honest and open man with any questions he's been asked and has never changed his answer of how he feels to keep the music going, and it's always the same he does it for all his brothers thats not here anymore, Gary Rossington is the main reason I ever picked up a guitar and learned to play, iv been fortunate enough to have two meet and greets with the band but the majority of it was spent talking with Gary.

[@IPushHard]

Best Rig Rundown ever. When I was a 16 year old high school squirt, I heard my 1st Skynyrd songs on a buddys cassette deck at lunch time. It was an epiphany moment in my life. From that day on, all I wanted to do was play electric guitar. 2-3 years later, I had the band name tattooed on my arm. Still do. ..and I live in Cali. That's not a common thing out here. That music meant so much to me over the years, and literally steered me right when I couldve gone wrong very easily. Be a man. Honor your Mom and Dad. Dont use needles. Dont mess with the cops. Dont shoot people. Be who you are. Follow your heart. Respect our planet. Dont trust politicians. Have a good time. I could go on, but the messages in those songs saved my ass many times and I literally owe them a debt of gratitude for keeping me out of jail and the grave yard...and for the great music that those messages were delivered in. There will always be a place in my life for Skynyrd. Thanks

[@pocketman5510]

[@tjdonaldson6923]

Everyone knows Sweet Home....anyone with a radio. But do hey know Tuesday is gone? Do they know the finest picker to ever play the blues? Will they give you back your bullets? Are they the one? Cause I ain't! Lol Like many others, I picked up a guitar because of this band. I still remember rthe exact moment I first heard Free Bird ( That 70s show). I remember very well the weekend it took me to all of Sweet Home. My first tab book ever was almost $75 but it had all their songs. They also perfected my musical pallet and made me such a critique lol as we all should be. I think Gary is the only living original guitar player now. If he is still going....RIP Ed King! Oh yeah...Kiss My Ass Kid Rock....you rip off artist...slaughtered their iconic sound. Jerk!

[@jcruisioso5975]

I cut my teeth learning every note this man & his band wrote & played . Clapton , Zep, Outlaws , Aerosmith, Allmans , BB, The Who, etc., all great , but Skynyrd was a huge influence.

Absolutely. I'd have thought they would play the stars, answering short words - trying to accelerate the inter-view or something, but actually they're just music lovers and great passionate guys. Gary's gear is so simple (of course so nice!) (and I love the way he talks abouts Gibbon's choice). Love Sparky's standard '91 Strat... Of course quite old now, but it shows what is important in sound : not what the instrument means to give, but what it ACTUALLY gives.

I talked to Gary a few times. Met him with my brother hanging out around Cecil and Whitehouse close to the St. John's river in Jax., Fla. I was 18., they were 30ish. They jammed a lil' bit in their earlier years. Met Allen, Lacey, Billy, Artimus, and kinfolk in Fulton County Stadium in 86ish doin stage hand work. Down to earth, polite, kind, unselfish, hospitable, the whole shooting match even after all the tragedies. I grew up in and around Atlanta and in the swamps of Valdosta...from Chastain park to Piedmont park to SE fairgrounds to Byron pop festival, the Agora, the Fox, Fulton co stadium, Alex Cooley's clubs, Macon ga, Playground South in Jax. etc.,etc., etc., The Allman Brothers and Lynard Skynyrd and many others but the 70's in the South it was those two all the time. From the hell house to the river and from the graveyard to the the Coliseums and sadly back to the graveyard. They Will always be the two greatest Southern Rock and Roll bands of all time to me.

If I could own one piece of Rock and guitar history. I think it would be one of these gentleman’s no.1 guitar. I know I couldn’t afford something like that, but I would also feel bad that others couldn’t learn about it or enjoy those magical tones. I think a Gibson ES-339 in a blonde color with a dark rosewood neck and before it gets coated I would hope to get the whole band to autograph it. Just because their music always seemed to be in my life. I’ve never really been good at remembering individual names in a band. I just loved closing my eyes and just meditating. Thank you gentlemen for what you’ve given the world for all these years.
