Post 99 Underrated Musicians

#99 - Allen Collins

One of the three lead guitarists in Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allen is one of the main reasons behind the bands success. As co-writer he helped define what was labeled Southern Rock, as a player he out-shone his two band members, brilliant in their own rights, as one of the best guitarists of the 70's. Self-taught, his prowess didn't end in the studio, on stage he was well known for blistering performances of his stuff, usually extending his solos, most famously on Free Bird.


After surviving a plane crash in 1977 that killed other band members and seriously injured others, his doctor wanted to amputate his right arm. Fortunately that didnt happen and Collins eventually played again. However, in 1986, due to drink driving, he crashed his car, killing his girlfriend and leaving him paralyzed from the waist down, with his hands and arms having only limited use. Allen Collins never played on stage again.

I was just about to say that. People seem to think making odd noises with 300 tons of effects pedals makes you the best guitarist evar.

it puts you up there.


Jonny is probably the only one who isn't too underrated, but i feel he still doesnt get enough credit.

not as a guitarist, but for all the other 50 instruments he plays.

I sense a little bit of irony here, see if you can guess what it is.
