[@tracyjohnson5023]

Sounds great. But I knew it would

[@johnjaco5544]

How many times can you play this??????

[@guitarfanatic2000]

Forever?

[@seanmcdaniel7041]

I'm pretty surprised how Rick just totally left out Artemis

[@johncartelli]

well he did say and everyone lese

[@Pete-fd9pg]

🤘 Agreed 100%. Ed King, Artimus Pyle, Steve Gains, & even Bob Burns are not just " everyone else". Come on Ricky, proper props should be stated !

[@borobinson7005]

Hes no Ronnie Van Zant but honestly he can sing wayyyyy better than Johnny Van Zant!!

[@flyingburritobro68]

He did at one time but not now his voice is gone

[@hazysativa3045]

Did Rickey ever tour with the real Lynyrd Synyrd or was he just around at the beginning before they took off?

[@mikeclifford9366]

Looks like from 1975 to 1996 it was pretty much just Blackfoot. According to his Wikipedia.

[@hazysativa3045]

@@mikeclifford9366 Ah ok. Really? He seems to posture more towards being out there with them during the heyday. Thanks for the response!

[@mikeclifford9366]

I saw an interview not too long ago where he stated that he was invited and accepted. Can't say I blame him. This is a tribute to LS, and the band freely admits that. They use 3 large semi trucks to haul everything. Big business.

[@hazysativa3045]

@@mikeclifford9366 I have no problems with him in the band. He was there at the start and knew them all. I just thought he played with them more than he did with Ronnie.

[@seanmcdaniel7041]

I would have to agree did play early on with them but he played more with Johnny than Ronnie

[@harleythor62]

If y'all like this...y'all need to see the Artimus Pyle Band... 🎸🎸

[@mikeclifford9366]

On my list!

[@57burnetto]

Rickey, ya need to include ARTIMUS.., CMon man

[@seanmcdaniel7041]

I said pretty much the same thing and it's pretty harsh the feud still continues without any original members

[@57burnetto]

Yeah, I've seen Rickey 3 times and Artimus twice. Wish they'd put their pettiness aside and think of what the fans gave them.@@seanmcdaniel7041

[@hellpig4309]

Well, I THINK he was dedicating it to those who.have passed on...

[@57burnetto]

@@hellpig4309 I believe you have it right. Good clarification.

[@Pete-fd9pg]

🤘 AGAIN ! Artimus Pyle, Ed King, Steve Gains, & even Bob Burns ( take note, the last three have passed on ), are not just "everyone else" DAM IT.

[@howardsilbert6427]

I agree Ricky doing Skynyrd is a joke and disrespectful I'm sure he doesn't feel that way

[@bobowman470]

L.S.'s been dising original members and others who made the who they (were) for a long time. Unfortunately since the passing of Gary L.S. is officially a southern rock cover band!!!!!! Sad but, true....

[@samsacre]

Ricky is bad ass! He can play that explore as good as anyone!

[@michaelphillips5786]

Bullshit

[@lovekandy61]

@@samsacre He is not in the same league as Allen Collins, Allen got on with everyone but couldn't stand RM he will be turning in his grave know that RM is now doing his solo's

What i want to.know is why a guy saying yea fuck yea? It just sounds weird guys don't scream out stuff while watching rockers girls do lol even the guy at the stage looking ricky in his eyes while holding his arms up so dumb end of video guys dumb screaming oh yea fuck yea so girly

[@chrisbrooks5501]

Why in TF is he playing skynyrd covers ? ..it just goes to show ya..He wants to be Allen so badly..and always has

[@JCDwyer]

Preach it, Frynd. I couldn’t agree more. He ain’t fit to change AC’s strings.

[@jonathanbunch5334]

F**k off man at least he new them personally and keeping the songs going

[@jonathanbunch5334]

Cause he deserves it and he can😂

[@chrisbrooks5501]

@jonathanbunch5534 ...then why doesn't he just play Blackfoot songs? It's obviously NOT a skynyrd show..and skynyrd is now (and has been) a tribute band for the last 30 or 40 years anyway..he should stand on his own 2 feet and let that go..he isn't AC and was never a part of the real LS band..he'd have more credibility if he just stuck to train train or whatever..

[@JCDwyer]

@@chrisbrooks5501 well….Blackfoot only has a couple good songs, so he has to pad the setlist somehow, haha.
