Lynyrd Skynyrd is the bands name but it was named after their high school gym coach Leonard Skinner who used to give them a hard time about their long hair

[@dagmar.6954]

Great southern rock band from the 60's-80's. It is very sad what happened to this band in losing so many members in a plane crash in 1977. They had lots of great songs such as "Simple Man", "Call Me The Breeze", "Tuesday's Gone", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name", "Gimme Three Steps", "Saturday Night Special" etc.

[@yelnek4548]

'Call Me The Breeze' is one of my favorite all-time songs.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I was in junior high and I was devastated when the plane crash happened. They had just added Steven Gaines, brother to longtime singer Cassie Gaines in the Honkettes, which were thirr three backing singers😮 and it just seemed so tragic.

[@ronstoner1823]

One of my favorite bands of all time. Lynyrd Skynyrd was the name of the band, it was also the name of their school gym coach.

[@allanboyer2769]

Leonard Skinner was the gym teachers name.

[@davidjackson770]

It makes me happy that young people today are enjoying the music that we loved and enjoyed fifty years ago. One song you should react to is " GIVE ME THREE STEPS"

[@notablindliberal896]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the band. Named after some of the boys gym coach in high school whose name was Leonard Skinner. He was on the boys about the length of their hair. Any album before and up to Street Survivors would be great.

[@doobiedave9686]

Agreed, after Street Survivors or maybe after their 1987 Southern By The Grace of God, Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Your 1987 album with the surviving members Gary, Allen, Billy, Leon, and Artemus, the band became a hodgepodge of members and were more like a tribute band. ✌️

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

@@doobiedave9686 I wouldn't even include Southern since Allen was paralyzed and unable to play any more.

[@openfor45]

One of the great tunes to get everyone happy when played on any Jukebox in any venue. So glad you played this one!

[@curtismarsh4528]

The third verse about the Swampers is a good reason to watch one of musics' greatest documentaries "Muscle Shoals". Van Zant's tribute to these studio musicians was well deserved.

[@oopsiesbrother]

Been to the studio twice. Went a couple years ago and just took my gf for her birthday last month

[@edwardvolner8678]

Yeah I loved Muscle Shoals, amazing how good those hillbillies we're at making any kind of music

[@kevincaulder96]

As long as you are on a deep dive of Lynyrd Skynyrd, CALL ME THE BREEZE will leave you breathless. As for the 7o's, a few suggestions. AC/DC - TNT and WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE from the Live at River Plate concert. Foreigner - DOUBLE VISION Kiki Dee - I'VE GOT THE MUSIC IN ME LINDA RONSTADT - POOR, POOR PITIFUL ME, or BLUE BAYOU. Love wat hing your channel and fuss with your hair. Keep going.

[@39thala]

Great seeing a video with the early original lineup (Bob Burns on drums and Ed King on lead guitar

[@edwardvolner8678]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the name of the band, named after their High school gym coach Leonard Skinner,the members are Ronnie Van Zant vocals, Gary Rossington guitar Allen Collins, guitar Ed King guitar, Leon Wilkinson bass Billy Pawel piano and Bob Burns drums

[@godisgreatjesusislord2278]

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the name of their High School gym teacher , he was a real stickler about their rock and roll play back then, I live 35 minutes away from where they are from in Green Cove Springs Florida! If you want to hear some more good Lynyrd Skynyrd songs here's a couple/ All I Can Do Is Write About It, Give Me Back My Bullets

[@KimmyGibson]

Thanks for the memory.....I'm 66, born in Alabama, and they were my very first 'live' concert I attended in Cleveland, late seventies :)

[@markmyers6472]

61 and born in Alabam' as well... every time I go back to visit my kin, as soon as I hit the border, Sweet Home Alabama cranks up and LS is my soundtrack...

[@brianadams4630]

Cool that you found a video featuring the original lineup before Artimus Pyle and Steve Gaines joined.

[@randyobrien2836]

I loved living through all this. And when I hear it again I relive it.

[@Stdodrttyl]

One of their best songs ever! So damn intense and that HUGE chorus. He sounds wicked!

[@ronnieskynyrdfan458]

I have been fortunate enough to attend many Skynyrd concerts. Age range at the shows 8 to 80. Their music is timeless….

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It's funny you say that about how to pronounce it because on their very first album, they put the phonetic pronunciation of it on the album cover right below their name. It quickly became known as the Pronounced album. Their first album. They named the band after their High School gym teacher.

[@rdhudon7469]

The Lead singer would always perform in bare feet . He said he could feel it more . (Try it ,you'll see ). He was also very short and some of the guys were really tall , but he didn't care . Very tragic story.

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Those were great fun times. Cool clothing style. I still have my double O ring belt😊 from that time.

[@cowboy1165]

The epitome of the best of Southern Rock! There is a lot to learn about the genera. Thanks for reacting to this one, Schnell.

[@stonewall554]

really need to do the live version...so good

[@rbodee]

Leonard Skinner was a gym teacher at their high school that all got on many of the boys having long hair. They were on a porch trying to pick a name for the band and someone said "There's Leonard Skinner!" and guys freaked out. That is how they created their version of the name.

[@757optim]

It's the band's name, taken from a high school gym teacher named Leonard Skinner that harassed the boys about their hair, etc.

[@jackprather620]

She been gone for a little while I had a dog named leather She loved lanyard skynard this song was her favorite

[@cebusam7545]

Opening guitar riff was someone at the house they stayed at when composing music, was just riffing new stuff, Ronnie went fishing and wrote the song. If you like bell bottoms you would have liked plaid and polyester. Lynard skynard was their math teacher?

[@jonlate4581]

Gary Rossington, who recently passed away, was the last of the original surviving members.

[@bennysmith416]

The Swampers mentioned in the song is a nod to the Musicians and the studio in Muscle Shoals that they first recorded Free Bird. Muscle Shoals Sound Recording Studio.

[@WhizzingFish12]

Awesome place to visit (there's actually a couple of famous studios there) - between the two of them they had way over 100 Top 10 songs in rock, soul, and country. A who's who of artists have recorded in that little town. If you haven't seen the documentary "Muscle Shoals" you need to check it out.

[@bennysmith416]

@@WhizzingFish12 I live here and am very proud of our musical heritage. I grew up with many of the studio musicians. fantastic times.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

The band’s name came from their high school gym teacher, who they did not like. He strictly enforced the school’s policy on NO LONG HAIR. The gym coach’s name was Leonard Skinner.

[@moonbeam2062]

I don't hail from Alabama originally but my ancestors were there up until the end of the Civil War. So, Alabama is in my DNA. My favorite line, "Well, I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don't need him around anyhow!!" 👍💯...."Ol Sweet Home"

[@Tdub0911]

It was a tweaked version of one of their high school teachers in Jacksonville Florida. The name is the band. A couple of them died in a plane crash in the late 70's and it ended the band.

[@ronbennett1659]

They're are one of the best. Call me the breeze is another good one.

[@ronaldleach9899]

We love our Southern Fried Rock down here. We have much more where that came from. ❤

[@j.andrewk.327]

Mr. Leonard Skinner was a Phys. Ed. teacher in Florida -- a couple of guys were in his class and changed the name slightly for the band.

[@tonycg9952]

need to see th live version of this song

[@colinweir3203]

I'm 61 been listening to this for over 40 years in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺, do Atlanta Rhythm Section, So into you.

[@edwardvolner8678]

It's the name of the band, their named after a high school gym coach Leonard Skinner,at Robert E Lee High school in Jacksonville where they went to school

[@markrader2617]

This band has some of the most iconic guitar solos in rock in roll history. Sad they lost some band members in the olane crash but the band continued up until the last several years.

[@doobiedave9686]

Their high school gym coach was named Leonard (Leon) Skinner who always chided them about their long hair. The guys quit school and started playing music. Their rehearsal space was affectionately known as the Hell House because it was an old tin roofed cabin next to Peter's Creek in Green Cove Springs FL with no air conditioning, which is a necessity in Florida's heat and humidity. They would rehearse there 8-10 hours a day and wrote most of the songs on their 1st 2 albums there as well. Eventually, the members morphed into the original lineup of the band. They got creative in both paying tribute to and giving the finger to Coach Skinner by naming the ban Lynyrd Skynyrd. 👍✌️

[@WhizzingFish12]

Did you know that Rickey Medlocke was an original band member too? He left the band on good terms and went on to found Blackfoot.

[@doobiedave9686]

​@@WhizzingFish12 indeed he was, but only for a year or so before Skynyrd released their first album, but he is on some of the songs from the First and Last album where he played drums instead of guitar. ✌️

[@WhizzingFish12]

@@doobiedave9686 Yeah, he's the singer on White Dove and The Seasons.

[@richardhicks7946]

You really want to experience them watch them do a live show like Free Bird. It will blow your mind.

[@samuelbartolo1156]

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the name of the gym teacher the guys in the band had in high school.

[@allanboyer2769]

I suggest the One More From The Road album, recorded live at the Fox theater in Atlanta, Georgia. Gold and Platinum is another good one.

[@bobbycarriker6233]

Frankfurt, Germany The Aquarius Studententclub 1975. First thing I heard as a GI was Sweet Home Alabama! Surprised this Carolina boy. Skynard and the smell of hashish

[@johnwilliams5301]

They got their band name from their music teacher in high school, Mr. Lynard Skinner.

[@WhizzingFish12]

Their gym teacher actually. He was a former Marine and always gave them a hard time about their long hair. He wasn't happy about the band being named after him at first but later got to be cool with it.

[@jeffclarke4720]

You should research the line in this song “Muscle Shoals has the Swampers. Watch the documentary on Muscle Shoals. You will be shocked at what all the Swampers were involved in musically and all of the famous music created in Muscle Shoals Alabama.

[@jonbrooks6307]

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the name of the band & Ronnie van zant is the lead singer #sweartogod #statelaw

[@willieboy3011]

I saw them in December 1974 overseas with Queen. Skynyrd was a Southern Band. Singer drinking German beer on stage. Red and blue plaid shirts everywhere. The line in this song that is most important is "I hope Neil Young will remember/Southern man don't need him around anyhow" in response to Young's whiney, rambling "Southern Man."

[@jasonpauley1244]

This song was wrote because Neil Young put out a song called Southern Man that talked bad about them. That was basically their fu to him for it.

[@jessierodriguez7168]

Look Mom.. no autocorrect or any assistance from computers to make them sound better.. raw talent unlike today's music for the most part..

The state of Alabama liked this song so much they made it their official state song! ❤️❤️‍🔥❤️

[@danielslover8669]

Love Skynyrd. My opinion of an album reaction would be “gold and platinum “ or “one more for the road “. Personally I like the latter better but the first one has their hit songs. They are one of the few bands/artists that I can play a full album and not want to skip a song.

[@ronaldriis1023]

The name of the band is a funky pronunciation of a hated teacher of one of the band members named Leonard Skinner.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This just popped up in my feed and Lynyrd Skynyrd's albums were coming out when I was young. So I definitely bond with it. But I would say from a production perspective, it's driving me absolutely nuts that I only hear your voice in my left ear whereas I hear your stereo pad in the background and also the playback content in stereo. And also the content playback volume is so quiet compared to your microphone volume that I've got to turn it down when you talk and then turn it way back up to hear the music. Just some helpful hints to make your world mix come off better. But yeah, I will stick around to hear more.

[@jimmyraidjames]

How about a rocking song from a band that changed Music back in the late 70s. Van halen-Ain't talkin bout love ( studio version ) Guitarist Edward Van Halen was so on Fire that even Michael jackson invited him to do a Guitar solo on Michaels song ' Beat it " and he did it 👑👑🎸🎸😁😁

[@freebirdtony]

Thank you kindly for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd. The standard bearers of Southern Rock. Btw, this is such a cool video. I highly recommend their debut album titled Lynyrd Skynyrd Pronounced 'Lĕn-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd. You'll discover a couple of must listen to tunes such as "Simple Man" and "Free Bird."

[@rob5723]

Didn’t you react to “Freebird” a few months back? Maybe I’m dreaming 🤷🏼‍♂️. Anyway, check out “That Smell” from 1977 Convention Hall black and white footage prior to the song’s release. Although it won’t be the original line-up, I hope to see them perform in July. They will be touring with ZZ Top this year to celebrate 50 years of making music!

[@WhizzingFish12]

You need to go much deeper in this band. They are one of the top 3 American rock bands (and could play great blues and country too). The 3 guitarists shown here (Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, and Ed King) are all incredible lead guitarists, and the pianist (Billy Powell) was classically trained and ROCKED the piano. When King left the band, they brought on Steve Gaines to replace him, and he may have been the best guitarist among them. Leon Wilkison on bass and Artimus Pyle on drums were also superb (although this is Bob Burns on drums here - early drummer for the band). Their song catalog is fantastic - besides Sweet Home Alabama, try Simple Man, Call Me the Breeze, T for Texas, Freebird, Four Wall of Raiford, Curtis Loew, All I Can Do is Write About It, That Smell, Whats Your Name, Gimme 3 Steps, Tuesdays Gone, Saturday Night Special, Working for MCA ... Just goes on and on. You need to go much deeper in this band. They are one of the top 3 American rock bands (and could play great blues and country too).

I can’t subscribe to someone that cuts off half a song and not to mention the greatest song of all time… you need to correct your Free Bird reaction or get off KZbin!

[@kingbeauregard]

I like Lynyrd Skynyrd a lot, but this is the one song of theirs I cannot abide. The cultural context of this is, they're pushing back against Neil Young calling out the southern states (including Alabama) for their barbaric racial injustices. This is one of those things where the correct response is, "Neil's right". Southern pride is fine, but it needs to repudiate the bigotry, not get mad when someone points it out.
