REACTING TO GIMME THREE STEPS BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD!! 🎸🔥| Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps (Reaction)

[@freebirdtony]

This actually happened to Ronnie Van Zant when he was 18, and he came up with the lyrics to this song on his way home that night. Ronnie never actually wrote down any lyrics, it was all in his head.

[@maryreilly5092]

True!

[@maryreilly5092]

We could drink in a bar in Duval County at 18 back then!

[@bobkennedy5585]

Yes true!

[@freebirdtony]

@@maryreilly5092 Yep, that lasted till November 1983.

[@maryreilly5092]

@@freebirdtony Sure was.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

'Cuttin' a rug' was a slang term for dancing. You two are adorable.

[@somersetcace1]

This was one of the best reactions to this song I've seen yet. I love that you guys paid attention to the lyrics and really got it. Yep, he got himself in a bad situation! 😏

[@hog7203]

Yep, I gotta agree. They had it figured out fast. In like two minutes. 😄 My first time checking these folks out and I had to hit subscribe because of that.

[@danbenedict8375]

I think they might’ve missed my favorite line from the song: “you could hear me screaming a mile away as headed out towards the door”. Absolutely hilarious!

[@maryreilly5092]

Yes, I agree!

[@johnsimmons1379]

It seems very genuine. There are so many out there that are contrived.

[@somersetcace1]

@@johnsimmons1379 Yep and it can BE difficult to tell the difference. I try to take them at face value though, unless it's obvious.

[@1dbjack]

Great reaction, you are right in saying it was not fun for Ronnie but he found it a way to make it fun for everyone else. That was the beauty of the band, great story tellers.

[@rons3634]

Thank you for actually listening and enjoying the lyrics. Most reactors either don't really listen or they don't understand what's going on. Watching your reaction was refreshing.

[@reallybadgamer]

I love your laugh and clap of your hands on "gimme three steps towards the door"... such a timeless classic!

[@johntrickey7182]

Skynyrd were legends. Ronnie Van Zant was a brilliant lyricist and singer. Tragic end to his life, as well as Steve Gaines, guitarist and his sister Cassie Gaines.

[@orangeMANgood4547]

Going down the Skynyrd rabbit hole is a amazing. Enjoy the ride y'all. What they did in a few short years remains timeless. Simple Man is a must!

[@igoski1582]

In the Southern Rock genre of music, it's widely considered that Lynyrd Skynyrd is at the top. It just doesn't get better than this band. 100% of their songs are great.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Skynyrd was great at telling a story, whether happy or sad, with both the lyrics AND the music. Thanks for your reaction.

[@danwilliams9299]

Cuttin the rug-means he was dancing! Generation thing i guess? Im old-67 in 5 days. So. There s that.. fun to watch you hear a band i grew up on. Classic -southern rock- saw them bout 2 yrs ago.. whats lft of them. Still sounded great over 45-50 yrs ltr..

[@chrisendsley5724]

Dancing. Yep. Southern Rock. Love it. Born and raised in Alabama. Heard this my whole life.

[@OldMusicFan83]

Every time I drive into Bama I hear Sweet Home on the local radio!

[@chrisendsley5724]

@@OldMusicFan83 yep if it's a classic rock station in the Birmingham area and about to the Georgia state line you can pick up 106.9 it jams.

[@757optim]

True story from the Jacksonville west side. RIP Skynyrd. The music will live forever.

[@jaxwins]

I grew up on the west side of Jacksonville and lived only about 12 miles from the VanZant family. My oldest sister, who will be 79 in December bought a VW Bug from the VanZant family. Needless to say I was and still am a huge fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@maryreilly5092]

Cool! I'm in Jax!!

[@kaidenorgana5151]

As did I, but I was only a matter of blocks from them, amazing times we had back then

[@jaxwins]

Wow, that's so cool.

[@patrickminer5926]

Your authentic from the heart reaction to this is so funny I'm laughing with you.

[@teleman2157]

Gotta do the live version. When Ronnie tells the 3 guitarists to - Bring all my mules out here one more time, it’s guitar bedlam. Let me tell you, those guys played well and well together

[@ScapeGoat77]

“Gimme three steps” is a great joke that plays on some universal themes. So glad that you guys got the point. Artists are the real angels in the evolution of consciousness.

[@liftme225]

Defined late 70's in States. Lynyrd Skynyrd is treasure

[@williamcabell142]

The Kings of Country Rock....period! They invented it! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Oh yeah, the Allman Brother were the blues!

[@NunyaDammeBiznis]

No country in Lynyrd Skynyrd. Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, hell yes. Lynyrd Skynyrd was rock.

[@sonjacrowell9896]

Awe. Memories ❤ this came out when I was a young teenager ❤️🇺🇸

[@bethellen1962]

You guys are adorable. Fun song. Fun reaction. 😊❤️😊

[@MrGsxr10001]

This is the most fun reaction channel by far, Ya'll are so much fun to watch.

[@valueair1984]

Fun watching the two of you react to American music. For a good laugh, watch Toby Keith "as good as I once was" You'll thank me.

[@golfr-kg9ss]

How about "Red Solo Cup"?

[@texastyrannyresponseteam794]

i love playing this song... the crowd always gets into it.. and it's fun.. easy.. and i love the song..

[@tommythompson9565]

A southern boy here. [ no real reason to state that, except that I'm braggin'. 😊 ] Sort of needless to say that I am a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. But I do need to say that I am a big fan of y'all's channel. You two sweet people are a delight to watch. You both carry yourselves in a humble way that makes listening to you very easy. Your reaction to this song is one of the best that I have come across on RVCs. You paid attention to the lyrics and reacted accordingly. It was a blast to watch. Keep up the good work, and keep on r'actin .

[@DaveB806]

What an awesome reaction to a classic song. You guys are AWESOME!

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Yep, this is a true story. I’ve been to The Jug, which was called Westside Tavern at that time. Yes, “cuttin’ the rug” means dancing.

[@WhizzingFish12]

Just found you all. You are a cute couple! You've just opened the lid to one of the greatest rock bands ever. Lynyrd Skynyrd has dozens of great songs, including several which are Top 100. Incredibly talented band - Pronounced is one of the truly definitive albums ever recorded, and they are an absolute powerhouse live. Fantastic musicians on every instrument, especially the 4 different lead guitarists they were blessed with. Keep digging into them!

[@fredflinstonetx]

Great song great story telling and yes you can visualize the whole scene

[@jrherrington566]

Yes the “Jug “ was a real place where Skynyrd played !!

[@williamjones6031]

Thanks, I needed that. Based on a true story.😎

[@rollotomassi6232]

Timeless story telling!

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Great song...and reaction! Such fun with you two!

[@willieboy3011]

This song describes a not uncommon occurrence in a 70s Honky Tonk. Saw them in 74, and they were great.

[@MatoNupai]

This is one of my favorite Skynyrds songs

[@EccentricAuntWanda1]

The ultimate Southern Rock song!

[@neldablanco1663]

I can see guy running out front door, screaming in fear, hands in air! Hilarious dong!!!

[@dalejohnson4256]

Southern Rock! Can't do better than that! You need to also check out the Allman Brothers: especially "One Way Out" (the live video recorded at the Fillmore East, 1971),

[@jimmacclay7015]

Ronnie actually said " you're gonna have to shoot me in my ass or elbow." Juat a great story teller

[@blueh2o575]

You two are a blast 😂! Loved this reaction and how you pay close attention! 👍

[@krisfox3537]

You guys are my favorite reactors. I love watching you guys. Keep up the great videos! And skynyrd is one of my favorites.

Welcome to America, friends. We need more folks like you two.

[@johngilmer6782]

Love your reaction, 'fo sure.' ✌

[@user-wc9pe9pu2c]

Hilarious breakdown but perfect 1970's were the best ...great reaction to classic southern rock

[@Mottleydude1]

BTW, this actually happened to the lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt. He was in a dive bar in rural Florida and he was two young to be there at 17 yo. He was talking to a girl he just met when her crazy boyfriend saw him talking to his girl and pulled a gun on him.

[@austindermody302]

Great reaction guys! Their performance of this at Knebworth is really cool.

[@ktwebbdevil]

Tuesday's Gone,That Smell,I Know A Little,Working For MCA,Swamp Music,Ballad of Curtis Loew are some Lynyrd Skynyrd songs you will love! They have a very deep catalog of great songs!

[@OldMusicFan83]

High volume of hits in only 5 albums

[@Hexon66]

Ah yes, The Ballad of Curtis Loew. The filler song that every true Skynyrd fan holds up as a defense against a charge *nobody* has ever made about the band itself.

[@johnschutte71]

"He was sh!ting his pants!", I busted out loud🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

[@cmanayf4354]

Fun reaction!

[@jamescrane2156]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell. Studio version. This song sounds different than the ones you've heard. It's about alcohol, drugs, and the rock and roll lifestyle.

[@Craig-fc6fn]

Nice reaction. Played that song so many times. Classic southern rock

[@atrumphasmatis6719]

You guys are making me laugh so much I have tears in my eyes. Had to sub!!!

[@rickward460]

Nicely played Y'all 👍👍 You have opened up Pandora's box! Try any track off the, One more from the Road album... they all rock! Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸

[@billherman7294]

You guys are fun to watch

[@Mottleydude1]

You two remind me of myself when I first heard this song. I was 16 and with some friends and listening to music and smoking some ganja when this song was played and we all fell about the place laughing. It’s really a Universal Experience song for most guys who accidentally done something dumb to make a guy twice their size angry. Often over a woman. 😂😂😂

[@Tijuanabill]

Uneasy Rider is another great Southern Rock/Country story telling jam. (Charlie Daniels)

[@tomhelmsjr]

“With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth”….. that song is hilarious 😂😂

[@randyhodges8782]

You're a hoot!

[@myreviews8099]

Fun reaction 😊

[@jeffbolton9699]

Ok, so I usually stand back but after watching this I had to step out. This was such a pure reaction. I'm a 62 yr old country/southern musician. I grew up on a ranch and had nothing else to do but dream of a way out. Ended up touring for 10 years then life happened and I didn't play until 8 years ago. Anyway, loved the energy on this and the others in this folder. Look firward to more, PAPA!

[@faithcat7675]

You guys are a blast to watch! ❤

[@darrellberger]

My first time watching you two.y’all are really fun

[@thefleasofathousandcamels6498]

Cutting the rug = dancing. The Jug is the name of the club/bar

[@biffmifflin1829]

So nice to see you both understand and enjoy the song.

[@scuppernog1]

Nice reaction to one of my all time favorite songs from them!

[@aaronarnold7653]

Aloha guys i just lol for sure😂😂😂😂kinda the best reaction

[@IZPC]

A place called Jug. In the south the term jug means your pulling on a jug. Drinking moonshine or just drinking. I’m in my 50s and I can’t tell you how many times I heard he’s been pulling on the jug god bless him.

[@hog7203]

Enjoyed that reaction. Well done. Y'all had that song figured out in about two minutes. That whole album is amazing. The first song on it called, I Ain't the One, has some humor in it similar to this one. Just subscribed and looking forward to more reactions.

[@tracyyork1428]

Yes, that album is amazing. Certainly one of the best 'introduction' albums by a band of all time. Every song is a winner.

[@thomasroutte8942]

I first heard this in the 70s !!

[@Grandview6613]

You all are awesome!

[@deannacauley166]

It's called good old southern rock and roll

Thanks for this, Liked and Subscribed

[@gatorade2366]

You both need to start listening to the group Home Free, they are amazing

[@williamwarlick3497]

Super reaction, nobody ever catches he peed his pants. Classic story, fabulous song!

[@Cicero207]

Awesome reaction!!!❤ I just discovered your channel with this song. I am now a big subscriber! Can't wait to listen to more music with you guys❤❤❤❤😊

[@gocoelho4579]

Lynyrd forever!!!! Gimme three steps plese rsrsrsrsrsr

[@TangieTown81]

And in the actual incident he told the guy he was going to take 3 steps towards the door and he'd be gone so there was no need to do anything more than was already done. His bandmates forces him to write the song right after the incident because he was clearly very shook.

[@Jimmy-ee7ou]

I have been that guy running for the door in my younger days,

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Classic 1st album, from start to finish, all of their 6 albums are great, from start to finish.

[@OldMusicFan83]

Real Bar in Jacksonville! Going there with Army buddies in a few months.

[@kenkonwick6660]

Yes cutting the rug is dancing. The Jug us a bar

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Staring down the barrel of a .44 magnum over a dance and a jealous boyfriend ,not worth dying for ..I heard it was true story ../. "Mississippi Kid" "Poison Whiskey" are a couple of good ones from the first album also..

[@lindalucas-9961]

Actually she dropped a glass of water on the floor as a distraction for Ronny to get away.

[@mega00760]

this shit actually happened, this band fought regularly

[@billdemotte7152]

What you really need to do, is get up early some weekend find a empty highway blast this and enjoy the ride

[@dadmateryn8092]

this is a true story even the name of the bar was called the jug

[@THOR6471]

This is actually based on a true story!

[@jamiegossett]

snug in a rug. chilling out.

[@suecook1326]

Cutting the rug was slang for dancing.

[@danielcrow4247]

Supposedly based on a real experience.

[@roberthammett4786]

Only one way out, by the Almond Brothers Band.

[@BruceConley-oi8nj]

Called southern rock

[@Nickel138]

Amazing reaction. Subscribed. 100% a true story. 😂 100% a real reaction to having a gun pointed in your face, too. 😂 I would highly recommend “They call me the Breeze” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@charlesmarkley220]

Based on a true story. 😊

[@bruceferry3825]

Cutting the rug is a term that means talking.

[@margaretreed9935]

Great reactions

[@telemperor]

No gun involved but I had a similar situation many years ago. I was a young Marine at a bar in Nevada and we were dancing with some girls when this Sergeant I barely knew walked in accused us of sleeping with his wife and tried to fight us. She was one of the ladies we were dancing with. We got away somehow and avoided her from then on.

[@mikemclendon4962]

It's called Southern Rock . Thanx for what you do. More please , it cracks us up too .

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Cute reaction!

[@robertgarcia3031]

Great song. I like the fact that you picked up on "Water fell on the floor" he peed his pants.

[@jakemistakeroberts2044]
