Lynyrd Skynyrd

RockInsanity · 01-01-2010, 03:54 PM

Just recently started listening to more of Lynyrd Skynyrd and they are pretty good. However, Simple Man seems to be a worn out tune for most acoustic bands. When will I stop hearing covers of this?

Also, Freebird...

Besides those two songs one of my favorites so far is Tuesday's Gone.

Good ****, maynard.

Very true Staropramen! Since I've been getting into them I've noticed quite a few excellent songs untouched. People really stray away from unknown and stick to the few popular ones, huh?
It's a shame.

Sweet home alabama is really good! You see the success of Kid rock with "all summer long", it´s nearly a copy of it and everyone loves it because of the original sweet home alabama!

Lynyrd Skynyrd appeared on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975. I really thought they put on a great performance, I really like the acoustics, the sound quality of the studio. I saw the show in length on cable, and found some videos on youtube (some vids on youtube have lo-eq.)
Did anyone else see Skynyrd on OGWT, what do you think of it?

Favorite songs: call me the breeze, Don't Ask me no Questions, gimme three Steps, and of course Free Bird

Besr guitar: Call Me the Breeze

these guys rock...a true classic

Hi!

I love Lynyrd Skynyrd. Favorite songs are Simple Man (the chorus of which is my cell phone ringtone), Ballad of Curtis Loew, Free Bird, Sweet Home Alabama, Tuesday's Gone, and Workin' For MCA.

Why did they sing Sweet Home Alabama when they lived in Florida? That's what I want to know.

Love some of their songs but heard a recent single "Simple Life" the other day and it has to be one of the worst songs I have ever heard.

They really are awesome. My favourite two are the most common ones, Sweet Home Alabama, and Free Bird. However, Tuesdays Gone is also a really good one.
