The Life & Death of Lynyrd Skynyrd's GARY ROSSINGTON

[@TuckerSP2011]

I never got to see the original Skynyrd but did get to see The Rossington Collins band and 38 Special. Seeing videos of the amazing live performances are just dazzling. RIP Gary.

I saw them on the first night they opened for the Who at the Cow Palace in S.F..

Rip Gary a thought for DALE KRANTZ ROSSINGTON AND HIS FAMILY AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF LYNYRD SKYNYRD ❤️💕🥀❤️

[@Green7313]

I had the privilege of meeting Gary, Allen, Billy and Leon twice when they toured as Rossington Collins. They were all very personable and unique individuals.

[@georgemartin1167]

Very underrated...RIP

[@sharonzimmerman5558]

IMO the entire Original Band was.

[@jerrydillard2430]

Yep, me too. Tried to learn to play Free Bird. Was a disaster, but I still play it. Saw them in Atlanta many years ago. My favorite of all time. Well, the Beatles are ok too!

[@BobbieLGray]

His legacy in God will live on forever! Gary loved Jesus Christ and he wasn’t shy about it his soul is resting with the father in heaven

[@chuckselvage3157]

RIP. Lynyrd Skynyrd are an awesome band,but so much tragedy.☹

[@scottdixon469]

That’s Sad not ever seeing them as I saw the original Skynyrd 6 times as they were good to us up in Pensacola and Mobile as I saw their 3 tours before the crash. I feel blessed!

[@debbieramsey-hanks3757]

Thank you exceptional guitarist

[@teemobile6111]

[@HappyHermitt]

The best rock band ever

[@JDStaffylover]

I have all of Skynyrd's Albums. Bought them when they first came out.

[@scottysmith719]

I bet you didn't. You obviously don't know the history

[@JDStaffylover]

@@scottysmith719 How do you know what I know?

[@scottysmith719]

Because you just didn't. Most of the stuff didn't come out till after the plane crash

[@scottysmith719]

You got to be honest with yourself. Before you can be honest with anyone else you should start there

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

@@scottysmith719 What do you mean by most of the stuff didn't come out till after the plane crash?

[@wagliz163]

Gary was always my favorite in the early days. It's a shame he was never able to conquer his alcohol addiction. It didn't seem to impact his playing as much in the early years, even through Rossington-Collins. I couldn't watch the re-united Skynyrd because he was so obviously impaired much of the time. I always wondered if Dale made any attempt to keep him reasonably sober before shows. Loved the guy, but it was just sad.

[@msr1116]

I don think those guys ever recovered from the planes crash, both physically and psychologically and self medicated. Before the crash, the substance abuse was to either keep their energy going or partying to have fun and relax between and after shows.

[@evileyes4070]

Another great one 😎😍

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Thank you! I appreciate it 🤗💕

[@bobbycox9541]

As a young probably 16 year old kid living in West Memphis Arkansas a girl school mate friend of mine had become a groupie. We went to see Skynard a week or so before the crash in Mississippi. After the show we were invited to the Holiday Inn where they were staying and walk into their room and there sat Gary. Offered me a share of his bottle of Jack Daniel’s. I’ll always cherish that evening

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

What an amazing memory to have 🥰 Thank you for sharing ☺👍

[@user-johnnyringo.44]

Last summer I went to Criswell Park. They turned it into a football field a long time ago. But I went to where the home plate would be dug the grass out, and under the ground was the home plate. I own it today.

Prince charming was in many ways no prince..eventually his truth will be known..just ask Larkin Collins among others

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

Too late for that, but the stories are out there.

[@WilliamTraylor-x5l]

Praise God 🙏 he loved Jesus.

The RC Band would have been a bigger success if they would have fronted a man .
