    This is a true story. I read an interview with Ronnie Van Zant (lead singer), and he later said that if this guy shot him, he’d have to shoot him in the ass or elbows, because he was getting the hell outta Dodge. I have my picture in front of The Jug, which was called Westside Tavern back the day. It’s in Jacksonville, FL. 😂

    This song written by Ronnie Van Zant is even cooler when you know it was a true story. These guys grew up In Jacksonville FL. Ronnie was known as the neighborhood brawler. He would throw down with anyone. But he had to be smooth one night as this wasn’t going to be a fight. Moral is, you gotta know when to fold ‘em and get the hell outta there. And even the toughest of guys have a story like this. Most won’t have the guts to tell that story. But Ronnie did.

    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. My favorite songs are "Simple Man", "Free Bird" & "Sweet Home Alabama". They had lots of great songs such as "Call Me The Breeze", "Tuesday's Gone", "That Smell", "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew", "What's Your Name", "Saturday Night Special" etc.

    • @NS1.
      @NS1. Рік тому +1

      Wow, that is a LONG time playing in bar bands!. About 20 years ago I played guitar in a bar band/cover band, but we never got to book a gig. Pretty much right when we had our 50 or so songs down, and were ready to look for places to play, the bass player quit and the singer moved. 😕I was a huge drinker at the time, and cover bands usually have to play for like 4 hours more or less, with a few breaks here and there. Honestly, as much as I drank (the whole band drank a lot actually) I'm not even sure I wouldn't be too drunk to play by the end of the night. 🥴😞
      Was the band your actual job, or was it a weekend thing? Even if yall played once a week for 45 years, and assuming yall played this song every gig, that's around 2400 times. 😳

    All the things Ronnie Van Zant talks about in his music were things that happened to him and others in the band... That Smell is about Gary Rossington, Double Trouble is about Gary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zandt when they were sitting in jail and Gary asked Ronnie how many times have you been to jail and Ronnie said about 10 or 11 times and Gary replied man Ronnie you Ain't nothing but Dounle Trouble and this song Gimmie Three Steps took place at a bar on the westside of Jacksonville Florida by I-10 and Stockton st right behind where Gateway is Gateway before it was a rehab was a motel and the Brown Jug (bar) sat right behind there....

    Hey man, I somehow just stumbled across your reaction Channel just now, because of this Lynyrd Skynyrd song which I'm a big fan but then again I love all kinds of music and I'm a musician by the way I played in bands my whole life and I've covered some of this stuff and I understand it. But I really loved your reaction man. It's real and it's humorous and I don't know just good man. I'm so glad by the end that you pointed out that I really don't think Ronnie Van Zant's character in this was necessarily bad. He really was at a bar and some lady started hitting on him and he said he was cutting a rug so what that means obviously is that they just started dancing together to songs on the jukebox and before very long at all nothing happened but that and she was the one coming on to him, and then the jealous husband or boyfriend or whatever shows up and immediately he's one of those dudes that pulls his gun right away and watched it just you know do that thing. So it's such a funny story but Ronnie is really good at telling those stories and as you said, he Nails it every step of the way. No reaction man and I will be checking out more for sure, I just subscribed.

  • @morganspector5161
    @morganspector5161 3 місяці тому

    This the first Skynyrd song I ever heard, and it hooked me for life. The funny bit about the whole song is that Ronnie Van Zandt (vocals -- far left on top row) never walked away from a fight in his life. But this is pure southern rock: screaming guitars (Ed King was one of three in the band, he solos on this one; he's far right, second row; also Van Zandt's principal collaborator on the songwriting), hard drum line, earthy vocals and a lot of humor. The Charlie Daniels Band had a song in this same vein called "Uneasy Rider." Give it a listen too :D

Gary said him & Ronnie never dance and the chick basically dragged Ronnie on the floor ,so he went with it . They didn't know it ,but she had been fighting w/ her BF who had just got out of jail or something & was tryin to make the guy jealous. The dude did come in and really pulled a snubnose .44 magnum on Ronnie and was going to really shoot him ! According to Gary ,Ronnie said this . He said dude , you can try to shoot me , but you gonna be shootin at ass 's & elbows and they bolted out quick ! Gary said that we all know Ronnie was a tough scrapper , but this dude was huge !!!
