Their first album was titled "Lynyrd Skynyrd ((Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd))" lol named after their HS teacher Leonard Skinner iirc. Legendary story of the band's history, plane crash took the singer and several other members/crew right after their latest album hits the stores with a photo of the band covered in flames...they pulled the remaining copies and replaced them with the same pic minus the flames, making the flame albums extremely collectible in a morose way. they continue on to this day with the original singer's younger brother leading the group. saw them a few years ago, definitely bad ass. Southern Rock at it's finest. You will definitely love the Allman Brothers if you haven't checked them out yet, the other southern rock archetype.
I don't know if you'd call it ironic, but I'm lacking for a better term. But their plane crash never even produced flames because their plane ran out of fuel.
Main reason I wanted a son! So I sung it my nephew every night before he went to bed for 3 years while my sister was locked up. He stayed with her for 2 years and unfortunately went to prison. Last year he sung it to me when he graduated high school.
The original drummer for this band lived about 2 miles from me. Unfortunately he passed away in a car wreck about 2 years ago. He was one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. He had been sober for many years but his home was open to anyone who needed to talk or was struggling with addiction. He would sit and talk to anyone anytime especially if they were struggling with demons. It wasn't until he passed away that people realized how many people he really affected in their time of need. Of course, Free Bird was played at his funeral. ❤️
My mom passed away 2 years ago. Some of my greatest memories are sitting around a campfire by the lake listening to her play the guitar and singing this song
Southern Rock with soul!! Skynard is legendary and they were a great great band!! Van Zant was awesome singer! Great music lasts forever! Legends may die but will never be forgotten. RIP
I’ve heard this song for 40 years but watching you hear it was like listening almost for the first time and it gave me chills. Glad you enjoyed it. I’m with the rest on FreeBird and That Smell but would like to add Was I Right Or Wrong and Mr Banker.
This genre is called Southern Rock :) They are beautiful!!! I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd about 13 years ago.... at the time with only 3 original members left but man they can still jam..... so much feel to theirs songs..... makes sure you here FREE BIRD ..... THAT SMELL
Definitely Freebird, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Tuesdays Gone. Definitely The Allman Brothers Band (Dreams) live preferably. Guitar solos out the ass, 3 different drummers going at once, not including other percussion, and correct me if I'm wrong, 3-4 different guitarists. Talking about trance city. Will not disappoint!!
Named after a teacher who hated long hair. They came out on stage early in their career and shouted something about “Leonard Skinner,” amd the name kinda stuck.
This was one of the last songs I listen to with my dad before he passed away. One night I was at my parents and he put some music on for me and said I know you love this song. I didn't even think he knew I loved this song. So it was a nice moment for me knowing my dad remembered little things like that. A few months later he passed away from a heart attack. My mom had the song playing at his funeral. I walked into the funeral home and bang, the song came on and I was done for the rest of the day. A well of emotions hit me the moment I heard the first guitar note.
I LOVED watching your reaction to a song I’ve known for 40 years. Wow. I am a college music instructor and have taught Intro to Music, previously called Music Appreciation, for almost 15 years. While the goal is to introduce students to “Classical” music, I use many pop, country, blues, etc. songs in my course, and the way you listened to and your reaction and comments to “Simple Man” is EXACTLY what I want students to learn how to do. I don’t expect them to fall in love with Classical, but try it AND be able to discuss it, just as you do! Could I have your permission to use this video in my course? Thank you!!
when I hear this song I picture my mother's smile , may she r,i,p. and it brings tears to my eyes .It's country rock like molly hatchet, allmond brothers,zz top not country.
It breaks my heart to this day when I hear them . I lived across the street from this bar on Highland in Memphis state area. My two sisters and I were there early evening when all these great musicians From Memphis came in. Then comes in Cassie and her little bro Steve Gaines. Back up singer and best guitar player around. He played alot of the solo's and sang. We stayed there and played and partied till 6AM the next morning. They had to lock us in to be legal. Cassie went to Memphis St. In the past. She was such a sweet person and could sing her butt off. Steve was kind of shy. He was married with three kids. Played the hell out of that guitar. You know how you meet someone and really Connect. We walked out the door with them and kissed and hugged Them goodbye. Two days later their plane crashed, I think it was in MS swamps. Both of them died along with Ronnie VanZant the led singer. I don't think My sisters and I will ever get over That. They were such good people. Such a shock and loss. LS was needing a guitar player. Ronnie asked if anybody knew one. Cassie says my little brother plays. Ronnie says ok , not thinking It was going to work out. Then the band heard him and flipped out Ronnie loved him. He just made the band click. They were so good. They are southern rock and country Stole their sound. All's good. They claim the Allman Bros too and I think they are more blues. But we now have Chris Stapleton . Good trade. One of my favorite LS songs Is Give Me Three Steps. I have been called Lindaloo all my life. Lol
Not country music. This is Southern rock in the same vein as Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Allman Brothers and Molly Hatchet. You should definitely check out some Creedence Clearwater Revival- Have you ever seen the rain?
Credence may sound like southern rock but they came from California. They were fascinated by the south and they drew their inspiration from southern life and culture. Most of my life, I thought that they were from the south as well.
This song always chokes me up, its basically exactly what my mother told me a couple of years before she passed of cancer. Never forget your words mom.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - One In The Sun, Tuesday's Gone, Saturday Night Special, That Smell, You Got That Right, What's Your Name, Gimme Three Steps, Don't Ask Me No Questions, Call Me The Breeze (to name a few ☺)
As was stated this is not country. Sometimes called country rock, southern rock, it don't matter the label you want to hang on it. The music says it all. Probably the greatest thing to come from Jacksonville, FL.
If there is one classic rock song in the history of time, it is FREE BIRD.... there’s a reason why every rock concert even to this day has a guy yelling free bird
This aint country, and it ain't sky-nerd, but I can appreciate what you're doing. It's southern rock, and it's amazing. Please try Freebird and Tuesday's Gone, and Traveling Man
if more people raised their kids like this it would be a far better world. Essential messages I try to live by and teach my kids. "troubles pass" "you can do this" "be satisfied" "all that you need is in your soul"
@@robbierobinson3966 ...? I am many confusion. How could anyone miss that? It's just short of a love song, ffs! Do those people not even listen to the lyrics? Wtaf do they think it is then? Them people all was fools 🤷🏻
*Lynyrd Skynyrd* • Freebird Live in Oakland '77 • Tuesday's Gone • The Ballad of Curtis Loew • Four Walls of Raiford • Give Me Three Steps (My Dad's favorite) There are a lot more great ones, but those are the main ones that come to my mind right now.
Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas!!! Hey man I absolutely LOVE this song and always have. It has to be one of the greatest pieces of art ever created. And congratulations to you for discovering not just Southern Rock... but the Kings of Southern Rock!!!!
Lol they're not really country. They're Southern Rock, which takes alot of influence from country and blues but amped up more. I guess by today's standard of country, it could be considered country though
Lol I live in southeast Texas. The amount of City cowboys here would amaze yall. I'm no fan of country but I do appreciate good music and respect country. I'm a metalhead but southern rock has and will always hold a place in my heart
@@aaroncole3941 WHOA man! Southern rock is the child of country music! Don't insult the greats like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams & other classics! I will consent to calling modern pop country music shit, though.
Ballad of Curtis Loew is about a kid that idolizes an old black blues singer that used to play on a street corner and drink his wine. Sort of a reaction song if you will. It's a great story song. Check it out for sure whether you do a video to it or not.
My Mother introduced me to Lynyrd Skynyrd as a young boy with this song, i still try to hold true to the words in this song, and will always be one of best memories with my mom.
Preston,you make my heart happy. Just watching you listening to rock and roll and Southern rock makes my day. I have loved music ever since I could remember and I never differentiated between white music or soul music or whatever. Music is music. If it fills your heart that's all that matters. Bless you.
Do yourself a big favor and read the biography on the Skynyrd. Then check out their music. They only had a short time and the sheer amount of quality southern rock music they came up with in that time frame is unmatched, in my opinion. Oh....and the band had 3 lead guitarists....the lead you heard in Simple Man was a double lead (2 guitars).
Beautiful song, great message. You should check Free Bird, Tuesday is gone, Sweet home Alabama and a few more. Oh, this is not country my man, is Southern Rock. :) And,,,wait a minute, Seahawks hoodie? :) That’s my team, I live 2 hours from Seattle. :)
As the others mentioned not country music.... SOUTHERN ROCK at its finest! Very blessed to have been a kid in the 70s and I have sons' of my own and have sung this to them..... It was an AMAZING time and filled with AMAZING TALENTED bands and singers!!!
@@tednugent8501 Fun fact ( that is not that funny) , it talks About how they sensed death near, due to their lifestyle, after they released the song, they all died, so yeah "That Smell, The Smell of death..." Got em sadly
Song always gets me teary-eyed...and just when the tears were forming here: *pause**looks at the camera* “Hey, shout out to his mama, bro.” *unpause*. I cracked up! Thanks for that comedic relief, Preston. I know you didn’t mean it to be funny, but it struck me at that perfect moment. Anyhow, keep doing what you do. I enjoy your reaction videos. And listen to what mama says, haha.
Last time I heard this it was played at a funeral for a young man just 22 and graduated from college, died on graduation night. He was a great kid with so much promise, we all went like babies...Thanks P.
Preston try the Eagles, "Hotel California " anything off that album is amazing! "Those Shoes", "Seven Bridges Road", plus other albums like " Desperado", "Witchy Women", "Life in the Fast Lane", or "How Long". I saw them on their Hotel California tour in 1979. Totally incredible. They sound better live! Back then there wasn't Auto Tune,or any other dubbing.
Skynyrd has so many great songs most all were the ones that got no radio play. Needle and spoon, everymothers son, Georgia peaches,comin home,gimmie back my bullets lot of blues,country,soul,an rock inspiration in this band ronnie van zant is a legend
Tragically Hip Bro. Longtime Running Wheat Kings Locked in the Trunk of a Car New Orleans is Sinking live Killer Whale Tank. 100th Meridian So many great songs to choose from Preston like: Bobcaygeon Ahead by a Century Blow at High Dough 700 Foot Ceiling. And many others
This song was written by Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington. Ronnie's grandmother passed away, and Gary's mother. .so they wrote this in an hour in tribute
There is nothing more pleasing than watch today generation listen to songs of my generation that actually have a soul....Awesome buddy....spread the love
This was the mother-son dance at my wedding only the Deftone's cover. The DJ actually asked me before the ceremony, "You're sure you want the Deftones at your wedding?" Yeah, that's why I requested it.
@@goriIIaboyz72 Yeah, but our biggest hit of the wedding was One More Time. They literally did not "stop the dancing," lol. Also our first dance was to Passenger Seat by Death Cab for Cutie, so we had an eclectic mix.
Almost 100k, Whoa 😯
React to the dead south - in hell il be good company bro

Ballad Of Curtis Loew - Lynryd Skynyrd

You haven't heard skynyrd till you've heard Free Bird, the solo is life.
Their first album was titled "Lynyrd Skynyrd ((Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd))" lol named after their HS teacher Leonard Skinner iirc. Legendary story of the band's history, plane crash took the singer and several other members/crew right after their latest album hits the stores with a photo of the band covered in flames...they pulled the remaining copies and replaced them with the same pic minus the flames, making the flame albums extremely collectible in a morose way. they continue on to this day with the original singer's younger brother leading the group. saw them a few years ago, definitely bad ass. Southern Rock at it's finest. You will definitely love the Allman Brothers if you haven't checked them out yet, the other southern rock archetype.

OMG that made me cry!!!
Me too. 😥💖 And this is truly the best of Skynyrd. Your short story is one of best I've ever heard.. thank you for making my day better 💕
what an awesome auntie.
Respect to you, I don't have kids. I have 18 nieces and nephews, and they all look to me most dark days they really need someone to hold them up!
good job!
The original drummer for this band lived about 2 miles from me. Unfortunately he passed away in a car wreck about 2 years ago. He was one of the coolest people you'll ever meet.

Of course, Free Bird was played at his funeral. ❤️
You have to do free bird by skynyrd. Absolute classic and an icon. The solo in this is nothing compared to free bird.
Yeah if he does the live version, all skynyrd is better live, traveling man
Agreed he should have done that first.
Tuesday's Gone b4 Freebird. Freebird isn't a bad song but it's a tad over rated.
Yes - this live version! ua-cam.com/video/QxIWDmmqZzY/v-deo.html
I’ve been waiting for a Freebird reaction since I first started watching you bro 🔥 🔥 🔥
All skynard songs tell stories. One of the most solid bands of all times
"solid" especially after the plane crash
My mom passed away 2 years ago. Some of my greatest memories are sitting around a campfire by the lake listening to her play the guitar and singing this song
70s southern rock at it's finest, a simple message with such depth and meaning true to this day. Excellent choice!
Greatest southern rock band ever Preston👍
you should check out Slobberbone if you like southern rock. 4 albums of pure badassery.
Allman bros
I'll put Molly Hatchet in my top 5 of southern rock bands.
The genre is called Southern Rock. Not country. You need to hear their song Curtis Low, and Tuesday's Gone. Great songs.
Debbie Fulton ... Tuesday's Gone!!!! Beautiful!!!
To me Curtis Low is their best song.
Irrespective of genre, there's an extremely heavy country influence. You see genre spillover in all the arts.
My brother and I used to sing Curtis Lowe when we were Young. He passed away 9 years ago
Listen to Tuesday’s gone by them then listen to Metallica’s version of it
Southern Rock with soul!! Skynard is legendary and they were a great great band!! Van Zant was awesome singer! Great music lasts forever! Legends may die but will never be forgotten. RIP
Good ol Jacksonville Florida southern boys..I grew up with them back in the 70s ...may Ronnie Van Zant RIP.
I love this song so much. Still one of the greatest songs ever written and sung.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a great Southern Rock band. Try Freebird or Tuesdays Gone for a better selection.
Try was i right or wrong
I agree with Tom. Have to start there. And gimme 3 steps.
I'll second Tuesday's Gone for sure.
Man When they joined Metallica and Johnny van sant omg musical perfection
Metallica covered Tuesday’s Gone...and quite well in my opinion!
All of Skynyrds songs tell a story Ronnie VanZant was one of the best song writers ever
Every man can imaging his Mother giving this sound advise for life.
Christopher Scallio literally the only thing I think about when I hear this song.
No matter how unrealistic. It isn't about your mother, necessarily. It's also about your perfected idea of motherhood.
It's def not country music. Southern rock all the way. Great job as usual bro!
I’ve heard this song for 40 years but watching you hear it was like listening almost for the first time and it gave me chills. Glad you enjoyed it. I’m with the rest on FreeBird and That Smell but would like to add Was I Right Or Wrong and Mr Banker.
Same here lmao
I need you,whiskey rock a,roller,needle and the spoon
Pronounced Lin Nerd Skin Nerd ...and its southern rock not country ...Enjoy bro .love your reactions
U got that brother Steve. One origal member left now... Music will live forever
I see what you did there😂
@Southtown Hick No doubt, I just bought the album on vinyl and I'm loving it. The songs are so crisp especially Free Bird.
To be fair.....many country artists are using elements of Southern Rock in their songs now.....
Steve Kanakanui cheers!
This genre is called Southern Rock :)
They are beautiful!!! I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd about 13 years ago.... at the time with only 3 original members left but man they can still jam..... so much feel to theirs songs..... makes sure you here FREE BIRD ..... THAT SMELL
Free Bird man, it’s right up your alley
Definitely Freebird, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Tuesdays Gone. Definitely The Allman Brothers Band (Dreams) live preferably. Guitar solos out the ass, 3 different drummers going at once, not including other percussion, and correct me if I'm wrong, 3-4 different guitarists. Talking about trance city. Will not disappoint!!
The live version in Oakland!
Lynyrd Skynyrd “call me the breeze “ studio version
LOVE that piano solo! :)
BEST SOUTHERN ROCK BAND PERIOD !!!!!!!
The Allman Brothers
The Marshall Tucker Band is right behind, but I agree with you. Just wish Ronnie hadn’t been so stubborn and got on that damn plane...
Love your reactions K.. this song always cuts directly to my soul.. Mamas are the foundation for life!
Thanks Brother 🙏🏻⚒🇺🇸❤️
Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd
Yoo Preston check out the Shinedowb version of this song you’ll dig it
I came here to say this... haha.
Named after a teacher who hated long hair. They came out on stage early in their career and shouted something about “Leonard Skinner,” amd the name kinda stuck.

So sorry for your loss.
Why!!! God dam. Now you got me going. But remember fathers remember everything even if they don’t show it rip to your dad.
Did he just say "Lynyrd Sky nerd"?
And he called it country music
Though I can see why, it does have a country-ish sound to it
its what country music wishes it was.
Be easy.....lol....he don't know!.....but he will!!!😄
That's how its on one of there albums its how its pronounced
(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd).

Shaun Mulville umm I think any skynard song is over played, there decades old bro
Unless you some how have unreleased records?
Jotaro Kujo On a Hunt
Oh man. IMO their best song
Jotaro Kujo favorite song...Tuesdays gone
Georgia Satellites - "Keep Your Hands To Yourself"
Is another great southern rock classic.
when I hear this song I picture my mother's smile , may she r,i,p. and it brings tears to my eyes .It's country rock like molly hatchet, allmond brothers,zz top not country.
I don't like 'reaction' videos but, your videos are awesome, you just love music, outstanding
For the record they are southern Rock and they fucking rock!!!!
Lynyrd skynyrd never wanted to be called southern rock, they said it during an interview?
Brother anything by Skynyrd is nothing but a classic. But if you want to be blown tf away by guitar and piano solos listen to “Call Me The Breeze”🔥
When I saw you listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd I said I had to f*** with this guy and see what he about great video brother great song something for the soul
It breaks my heart to this day when I hear them . I lived across the street from this bar on Highland in

This song always chokes me up, its basically exactly what my mother told me a couple of years before she passed of cancer. Never forget your words mom.

Lol they're not really country. They're Southern Rock, which takes alot of influence from country and blues but amped up more. I guess by today's standard of country, it could be considered country though
By today's country it would still be southern rock.. Today's country is top 40 for rich people who think the suburbs are the country
Agreed. I'm not a country music guy at all (except classics). Southern rock on the other hand is a different animal altogether.
Lol I live in southeast Texas. The amount of City cowboys here would amaze yall. I'm no fan of country but I do appreciate good music and respect country. I'm a metalhead but southern rock has and will always hold a place in my heart
Not country but that's okay It's Southern Rock, deep fried in lard. RAWK ON!
By today's standard of country, Skynyrd is metal
React to lynyrd skynyrd freebird the long version it has a nice lil insrtumental in there.
Mark Clark “Nice Little Instrumental?” That’s like saying Carolina Reaper peppers have a nice little bite to them!😂😂😂. Instrumental is LEGENDARY
"A nice lil instrumental" and it has one of the best guitar solos ever made lol
lil ? :O longest solo i ever heard :D , he'd love it though
Greatest guitar solo in history
One of the best drum and guitar solos I’ve ever heard.
Country?? 😂 no he just didn't say that... This is Southern Rock bro not Country!!

@@insaneclownhoty It's also fair to say that Creedence and Skynyrd had a large influence on late 70's to mid 80's country.
Whatever genre you define it as, it’s overall greatness cannot be denied.
Lynyrd Skynyrd "call me the breeze"
Ballad of Curtis Loew is about a kid that idolizes an old black blues singer that used to play on a street corner and drink his wine. Sort of a reaction song if you will. It's a great story song. Check it out for sure whether you do a video to it or not.
This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
My Mother introduced me to Lynyrd Skynyrd as a young boy with this song, i still try to hold true to the words in this song, and will always be one of best memories with my mom.
This band was in a airplane crash in 1977 and the singer and a couple of other members were killed...

Oh....and the band had 3 lead guitarists....the lead you heard in Simple Man was a double lead (2 guitars).
Ronnie was the best at writing songs that anybody could relate to. No matter north, south, east, or west. A pure genius. Doesn't get enough credit.
They got there name from there gym teacher
Joshua Cumbo I actually got to meet Leonard Skinner before he passed away.
Beautiful song, great message. You should check Free Bird, Tuesday is gone, Sweet home Alabama and a few more. Oh, this is not country my man, is Southern Rock. :) And,,,wait a minute, Seahawks hoodie? :) That’s my team, I live 2 hours from Seattle. :)
Also it’s another experience, being in the car with the windows down sunny day with this song

As the others mentioned not country music.... SOUTHERN ROCK at its finest! Very blessed to have been a kid in the 70s and I have sons' of my own and have sung this to them..... It was an AMAZING time and filled with AMAZING TALENTED bands and singers!!!
Southern Rock Classic masterpiece.. The music the lyrics his voice.. Everything is perfect
That smell, on the hunt, freebird.....you could go down the rabbit hole with skynyrd. Legends. Also, stranglehold by Ted Nugent is 🔥 af
On The Hunt is bad to the bone, I'm still surprised it's not mentioned more frequently as a Skynyrd great.
Ted Nugent is a piece of garbage
His political views are trash yes. But he has a couple good songs
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Saturday night special... Give me three steps... That smell
Kentucky Mud
needle and the spoon
I danced with my son to this song at his wedding perfect mother son song love it
One of my most favorite songs. Tell it like it is - live life with heart & integrity.
HOLD ON BRUUUUUH!!!
I love it when you say that.
Anyway, listen to "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, that's my jam!
Whisky bottles! Brand new Cars! Also my jam man!
Spoiler. Its about drugs n isht.
@@tednugent8501 Fun fact ( that is not that funny) , it talks About how they sensed death near, due to their lifestyle, after they released the song, they all died, so yeah "That Smell, The Smell of death..." Got em sadly
Yessss
What's "That smell"? 😂😂😂
Song always gets me teary-eyed...and just when the tears were forming here: *pause**looks at the camera* “Hey, shout out to his mama, bro.” *unpause*. I cracked up! Thanks for that comedic relief, Preston. I know you didn’t mean it to be funny, but it struck me at that perfect moment. Anyhow, keep doing what you do. I enjoy your reaction videos. And listen to what mama says, haha.
Preston I enjoy your reactions so much and I don't know why. You a real one bro
You would love Free Bird ( great solo ) and That Smell.
Next Lynyrd Skynyrd Free Bird live
I feel joy watching you react positively to music I grew up with. You show me the beauty of a open minded soul. 💗
Last time I heard this it was played at a funeral for a young man just 22 and graduated from college, died on graduation night. He was a great kid with so much promise, we all went like babies...Thanks P.
Preston try the Eagles, "Hotel California " anything off that album is amazing! "Those Shoes", "Seven Bridges Road", plus other albums like " Desperado", "Witchy Women", "Life in the Fast Lane", or "How Long". I saw them on their Hotel California tour in 1979. Totally incredible. They sound better live! Back then there wasn't Auto Tune,or any other dubbing.
Already Gone is another good Eagles song
All yo whining, yo cryin, yo pitch in a fit. GET OVER IT. GET OVER IT. Eagles are so good.
Take It To The Limit, Doolin Dalton, One Of These Nights.
Eagles-Hotel California is a must.
WOW I'm impressed. Simple man is a soul searching song. A song that truly makes you think about yourself.
Skynyrd has so many great songs most all were the ones that got no radio play. Needle and spoon, everymothers son, Georgia peaches,comin home,gimmie back my bullets lot of blues,country,soul,an rock inspiration in this band ronnie van zant is a legend
Hmmm I kinda wanna see you react to Bob Seger - Turn the Page
God, I hate Bob Seger more than grandpa farts.
I hope he reacts to him for you though lol
Bob Seger is a legend, I love that song 👍🏻
Metallica cover is better...
C Lipman you should listen to the original before a cover...
Metallica has a cover of turn the page that sets the tone
Tragically Hip Bro.
Longtime Running
Wheat Kings
Locked in the Trunk of a Car
New Orleans is Sinking live Killer Whale Tank.
100th Meridian
So many great songs to choose from Preston like:
Bobcaygeon
Ahead by a Century
Blow at High Dough
700 Foot Ceiling.
And many others
Its great to see a young Cat like you listening to and appreciating this great band. Great review! Just found you!
This song was written by Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington. Ronnie's grandmother passed away, and Gary's mother. .so they wrote this in an hour in tribute
React to the song, Gimme Three Steps by them. I feel like that song has it all.
King of reaction, love your vids bro.
Most all of their music is like that. Definitely a legendary band. That was my first concert back in 93.
There is nothing more pleasing than watch today generation listen to songs of my generation that actually have a soul....Awesome buddy....spread the love
FREEE BIRRDDD!!!
Should react to Shinedown‘s cover of this song, would make my day!!
Hell yeah man. You’ve been killing it with these reactions.
This was the mother-son dance at my wedding only the Deftone's cover. The DJ actually asked me before the ceremony, "You're sure you want the Deftones at your wedding?"
Yeah, that's why I requested it.
Andy Brown I had this as my mother son dance too but would have been slapped by my dad if I had chosen the deftones version. Love deftones though.
@@goriIIaboyz72 Yeah, but our biggest hit of the wedding was One More Time. They literally did not "stop the dancing," lol. Also our first dance was to Passenger Seat by Death Cab for Cutie, so we had an eclectic mix.
Lynnrd Skynnrd's song FreeBird has one seriously awesome guitar solo. Please do a reaction video on Freebird. Total fatality!
