Lynyrd Skynyrd is probably the best American rock band ever.

I've seen them live 4 times now, they're incredible, and they always have been.

[400exrules]

i like them :devil:

[bama400ex]

ive seen them once and it was awesome.

[TheFontMaster]

I was just listining to them today. Great band, one of my favorites. I would love to see them live sometime.

Play FreeBird

[TM426]

Ive seen them a couple of times also. They are an awsome band. Not one of those bands that turn to crap as they get older. Also AC/DC is great band to see live

[bulkdriverlp]

skynard is cool, they are the best rock band ever. ronnie vnazant died so eddie took his place, they are still cool as ever... ROCK ON LYNARD SKYNARD!!!

Who's eddie??:confused:

I know Ronnie's younger brother Johnny took over on vocals, but I've never heard of anyone named eddie in Skynrd.

[SixthFloorFreak]

i tear up everytime i hear Simple Man...great band

\m/

[honduh440]

you could be right about skynyrd being the best but the eagles are daym good too

[Night Rider]

Skynyrd Rocks Man!!! I Love The Southland!!! Wish I Never Moved!!!

[Narly R]

AC/DC is one of the best as well, I listen to a lot of older rock, but have never really listened to Skynyrd much... defently on my to do list.

[clarkymckrash]

"simple man" is the greatest song ever written.period.

Amen.

[SSRedRider]

I have been listening to them since they came out, I think it was 1971. One of my favorite bands of all time.

Simple Man
Gimme Three Steps
Free Bird

Are all classics

[sickmojave]

I seen them when they were The Rossington Collins band. :eek:

Still a great band;)

[chunky]

if alice in chains lead singer wouldnt have died they would have been one of the biggest bands ever IMO...i also like nirvana zeppelin AC DC and GNR...probably my favorite older bands...

Do you still have that ticket stub? Apparently Rossington Collins stuff is getting valuable because they were only around a few years.

[300exOH]

I've been to a couple Skynard shows and I'd go again if I can get tickets. I saw one of the first shows after Ronnie died and they wouldn't do the words to Freebird. They just let the crowd sing while they had Ronnies hat spotlighted on a mic stand.

Simple man-words to live by

[bradley300]

simple man and concrete slowly creepin(all i can do is write about it) are IMO the two best songs ever put on an album

[spincr4hire]

Skynard is ok, overplayed on Rock stations WAY too much. That ruins a band.

[YLW400]

A little trivia...anyone know where the name Lynyrd Skynyrd came from?

[zephead400ex]

AC/DC & Led Zeppelin are not AMERICAN rock bands guys!

[jesshamner]

The name came from their PE teacher. I saw them live for free. I just happened to stumble on the concert itself. I had no idea it was going on but I went to downtown Louisville just looking for something to do. I missed the first half of it but it was by far the best concert I have been too. GNR is good stuff too.

[YLW400]

Was is the PE teacher, or Principal? One of the two... ANyway, great band to see in concert

I thought it was really cool. Kinda chilling. I think Johnny sang the words the second time I saw them but I can't remember. They always put on a kickin show.:bandit:

pE TEACHER THAT GAVE THEM A HARD TIME IN SCHOOL AND THEY NAMED THEIR BAND AFTER HIM:)

[Bush0102]

Their Nashville shows are always the best. The concert two years ago was the 30th Anniversiary, they filmed a DVD there. They played for a little over two hours.

I really like the vicious cycle CD, too.

[WEEZIL]

And I... could not agree more so.
Dont forget floyd

[schootar]

I saw them a few years back. They put on a great show.

Simple Man....one of the best ever.

Its a great song, and the video they play with it when they do it live is freakin awesome...

Its on the new CD, which is also good.

simple man-legend

the band shinedown has a good cover of it but its no where near the original:chinese:

[bradley300]

i think shinedown did simple mana dis service. to me, it soundled horrible from the first not to the last. i think thats really one of those songs that everyone should have just known not to mess with

[Quad18star]

I'm not much of a fan of theirs ... only really heard a couple songs , so I can't really judge their music .

I think one of the greatest bands ever was The Eagles . The talent of these guys is simply amazing . Some of the best songs ever to hit the airwaves came from these guys .

I enjoy everyone of their songs ... New York Minute is surely near the top of my favorites from them .

[Bush0102]

I like seven bridges road by the eagles

Thats one song I don't have downloaded .

If you haven't seen their DVD from the Hell Freezes Over cd , I believe it was their first concert return after 14 years . Its awesome .... very mellow .... we bought the DVD for my dad for x-mas and we've watched it a few times now .
