Ronnie is still my hero & always will be. Ronnie's singing voice was so real & uniquely phenomenal. I never get tired of listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd. And in any interview I've ever heard, his voice has always given me such a calming mesmerizing effect. He was extra ordinary with talent unmeasurable, such a gift we lost way too soon. Southern by the sweet grace of God. Us southern ladies love our southern men 'cause they're the best. Ronnie had that raw manly no nonsense attitude that blended well with his sweet southern charm and just like Elvis, go ahead and count all the other icons that have come from our beautiful South Land, so with that, I end with my best Rebel Yell. Lynyrd Skynyrd STILL & WILL FOREVER LYVE ON.

I'm Latino you know my cousins in Mexico grew up as well as I did on Lynyrd Skynyrd and we still play their music today and believe me we worn out a lot of LP'S, 8tracks as well as cassettes. Got the chance to see them in Detroit downtown Michigan back in the 70s they truly blew the place apart we were all in amazement young Motown detroiters. One good thing about growing up in Detroit everybody and anybody as well as the great blues players made damn sure they hit Detroit Michigan from all the history from the Motown and well as the great blues players of the past that played in Detroit and lived in Detroit before they moved on to Chicago and Chess records.

Skynyrd as was The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Dicky Betts, Barefoot Gerry, ect were the sound track of my highschool years and college. I can remember our high school football coach during spring drills coming out and telling us Governor Wallace had been shot during his presidential run. From that point on Sweet Home Alabama became a heartfelt song to me. It was as though Skynyrd had single-handedly stood up for the South. I saw Skynyrd at the Tennessee State Fair along with Blue oyster cult because n 74. 867 now I think I'm still trying to get over the hangover.😂 RIP Ronnie I hope you're catching big bass in that Big Lake in the sky.

I'm honored to have you here. Someone who knew Allen Collins. So cool. When you think of Skynyrd, the original band, the only one that matters, Allen was either a third or a fourth of the band, that is if you included Ed then Allen was a fourth of the band. Without Ed, Allen was creatively and music wise a third of the band. Without Ronnie, Allen and Ed you have the modern band. I respect Gary and he's a Legend but the band should have ended when Billy died. What's the point of calling it Skynyrd after that. Anyway, hoping this isn't an insult to you. It's just how I feel. Allen's solo album was quite good. I've never even owned an Rossington album. I didn't care for what they did when they opened for Skynyrd in 87 here in Jax. I'm pretty sure they opened. I guess I should check the paper. They opened later for the band though.

I wish I could have met him. This band made me dream as a 16 yo. Where all we had was the turntable and album covers.

I had the pleasure of sitting and talking with one of their first road managers. At the time he split, the band was angry with him about their money (he was trying to help them manage their money- which is important for a group of country boys who exploded into fame). They wrote the song “Cry for the Bad Man” about him. Van Zant has said in interviews that he wished he wouldn’t have written that song. They wound up making amends and being good friends until their accident. It was humbling to sit and talk with Mr. Alan about him being instrumental in them rising to fame. Awesome stories about Ronnie and the band.

At the end of the interview Ronnie talks about next project is the live album they will be dueing at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, which all here know as One More From the Road. For me the single greatest rock album ever produced and this and that tour with the newly added Steve Gaines took them to new heights, really at the top of the heap so to speak. I still play the heck out of it when out cruising on my Victory Cross Country motorcycle.

Wow. This guy had a real Jekyll and Hyde thing going on. Sounds so soft spoken and personable here, but damn, some of the things he did even to his own best friends. I'm glad I found this, it drives home the "simple man" inside the monster.

@@jaxflfreebird Oh my. Not a nice thing to say huh? An asshole comment huh? Lets clear up one thing right now, I have been a Skynyrd fan since they existed and I damn sure aint no idiot Liberal. I'm just being honest. And busting out Billy Powells front teeth or cutting up Garys hands with a broken bottle were not nice things to DO!! In fact, they were really asshole things to DO! I used to party and do stupid things too and I DID mention that Ronnie was just being human like a lot of us. So take it easy, we are not so different. I know a few people who do the Jekyll and Hyde thing after a few drinks. It sucks. Frankly I would prefer that they just stayed sober.
