Ronnie didn't live long enough to see his real fortune and fame. He is one of the best ever! Under appreciated vocals and song writing along with one of the best bands ever!
so true even though this an under rated and oft forgotten JJ Cale (Cocaine, I Shot The Sherriff, many...) song done more justice, would be honored, if'n he'd been paid. That is how the labels work, the bands, like the EC Crossroads Festivals, eventually set it straight. This one, my favorite version, along with JJ's original. These are all real good people, what they sing, how they care, it shows. Gimmee Back My Bullets, even more than Freebird, has been an anthem of my life, by choice or not, guides me right. Be well.

On this tune there is no denying just how funky Allen Collins was on that Strat! How his playing weaves in and out with Billy's clavinet keys is just too much. Typical Skynyrd: so simple yet so intricate and precise.
gary rossington2 actually if you’re in a band Allen’s playing lead for the other guitarists and occasionally there’s a solo Never seen a Strat used for rhythm “And on rhythm with his famous American made Fender Stratocaster Mr Eric Clapton” Naw Mike
Whether or not you like southern rock , hands down this band was musically tight with one another. I personally have been a fan of them since I was a kid but hearing them now and listening, man they were good at what they did and that was playing music.
Let us not forget the early Blues men from the 30s 40s 50s.they started it all .There all gone but should never be forgotten. R I P my blues brothers .

They were all great Guitarists but Ed King and especially Steve Gaines were phenomenal. 4. They showed everyone the work, dedication, and practice practice practice it took to reach their hopes and dreams. 10 years or so of it before they were that tight, with that catalogue, and that unforgettable “Rock from the South” Skynyrd sound... Me- “I reckon they purdy good” 😂😂😂
Growing up in the Bay Area saw all the great bands of 60s and 70s. Skynyrd without a doubt the greatest. Very privileged to see them 34 times.Love this band.
roltyd22 I've heard the band was insanely good that day ! God I wish I was there. When I saw them in Birmingham , Ronnie clearly was not in a good mood. And it brought the whole band down. Still great tho !
It was a great show I'll never forget Ronnie wore the white hat that night,I was 17 and drove from lanett al to Columbus Ga with my girl and her friend, that was farthest I'd driven since I had my license lol..but by God I was going to that show :)
I was at that show. Terrible venue and they had to rush their set because of Frampton. Most memorable part was on Saturday Night Special synth or organ was louder than ever. F-- I still remember that detail is how much I loved that band
This song is just one of so many great songs that ronnie wrote and sings so well. It is the heart of skynyrd's music. You can always hear the deep southern roots of skynyrd in these old songs they jammed! Absolutely awesome!
Might be something like cursing in a churche, but the two guitar line-up of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Ed King out, and Steve Gaines not yet arrived) is the best Skynyrd of all time .
So sad when we heard the news. On there way to my hometown Baton Rouge, would have been my 13th time to see them. Guess 13 wasn't that lucky for me. RIP to the greatest southern rock band ever!!!
this is the most talent in one band imo, all them members and all so good.Allman brothers too i know.But i give it to skynard, either way both so good live you almost cant stand the cds, i need it live!
Ya gotta see the Old Grey Whistle Test show from 1975. Best ever version of this song by anybody! And only two guitars from this short period of LS time.
I recall being at this concert. Especially if the first band was Paris. Then came Outlaws before Skynyrd. I remember Ronnie chugging off a gallon jug of orange juice from the crowd🤔🥴. Later on in the show, somebody tossed a stash bag on stage and Ronnie picked it up, smelled it and then tossed it to one of the crewmembers saying,”save that for later”.😎👍

There will never again in history, be another group of people that were born to play together like them!
Indeed! Lord our God broke the mold when he created them All.
Amen to that
AMEN!

Sure, Nostradamus, sure. Music died with them.
Been listening to SKYNYRD for 50 years ❇️
Yep. Me too.Never gets old.

Ronnie was a hell of southern rocker ☠️🔥🤘
Only discovered these in 2023 and I’m hooked! Devastated at their loss but what a legacy.

Pray for Al. I do.
There is absolutely no guitar but a strat that sounds like that. Collins made it sound amazing and that’s not even his primary guitar.
RvZ was the leader no question but Allen was the heart & soul of that band. RIP AC.
LS needed - NEEDED - both on stage to REALLY be Lynyrd Skynyrd.
THE BEST EVER PLAYED
@@gottadomor7438 facts !!!!!
Possibly one of best songs ever
Allen Collins had an amazing tone,and never tire of that riff
Once again this shows why 70s Music was best. Nuff said.
Yep...Truth !
THE 70S FUKIN RULED.
RVZ and his band ruled! Then and now. Will never be forgotten or replaced.
Shows our age
Allen's holding down the rhythm with that strat clear as daylight!
One of the best blues ''Riff'' ever !!
Yes sir ripping it out brother
gary rossington2 actually if you’re in a band Allen’s playing lead for the other guitarists and occasionally there’s a solo
Never seen a Strat used for rhythm
“And on rhythm with his famous American made Fender Stratocaster Mr Eric Clapton”
Naw
Mike
Love Allen Collins
@@michaeldroberts6083
Fuck Yeah
Badass
This is actually one of my favorite songs . I love the beat to it.
Skynryrd doing country funk.
Love you. RIP
I hope you know its jj cales he kills it
Whether or not you like southern rock , hands down this band was musically tight with one another. I personally have been a fan of them since I was a kid but hearing them now and listening, man they were good at what they did and that was playing music.
Billy Powell on the piano stand in side by side with Collins and rossington licks. "Billy boy play that piano"
One of a kind.
If you were there during the 70's your living testimony of THE GREATEST MUSIC EVER
WELL SAID
Paula Aubin What a great time for good music! ♥️ I miss so much.
Paula Aubin Hell yeah the real Lynyrd Skynyrd. Peace out ..
You probablly missed the 60th then. What would the 70th have been with a living Duane Allman, Kind Curtis...
Yur damd right!
Awesome JJ Calesong .Excellent cover. RIP guys , too many great concerts to remember! Always an awesome performance!
Let us not forget the early Blues men from the 30s 40s 50s.they started it all .There all gone but should never be forgotten. R I P my blues brothers .
Indeed. Back where it all began!
I love hearing RVS sing he’s just got a different voice like no other 🥰😛
Gary is like just walking through the park, piece of cake. He is soo underrated with that slide...
Jacob . Yeah Gary is one if a kind. Smooth. Raw. Never? Misses notes. Bad ass.
Allen Collins great also. Whew.....
@@scottcantor1842 Not being funny ,can you drop the exact second of the missed note?
Seen them in Greensboro N.C. May '77. They blew Clapton away.
I believe the world would be a different place if these guys were still around. Especially once Steve Gaines came along.
Dude, you’re 100 percent right!✌️😳🤘His work before Skynyrd was absolutely kick ass as well!✌️
Happy Birthday Ronnie!!! 01/15/2022..Thank you.
I’ll never tire of Ronnie Van Zant calling the heavyweight musicians in his band to give the audience their money’s worth.
No, he's a mystical traveler.
I love it when Ronnie yells out when singing the verse/lyrics, "And let the telephone ring!"
It's almost like he's looking over at Gary like, "Bitch, I know you were in your hotel room shooting dope when I was trying to call you"..
Or “BILLY BOY PLAY THAT PIANAH” good whiskey drinking New Years jam for 2021
@@johnnyearf7943 yeah he’s mad dogging him pretty hard hahah
Another one of my favorites and I love those lyrics. I always thought someone did something Ronnie didn't like.
It's when he puts all of his soul into it
I think this might be my new favorite song...yea it is!
that was one of Ronnies favs to cover
I just rediscovered this diamond myself looking for some B sides to shake up the playlist

Damn the original 34 times?
Damn! The original 34 times?
Day on the Green. Those were the days! :-)
34 times!! I would have settled for just once.
Grew up in Santa Rosa graduate class of 76,greatest live band of the time
They will never be able to replace them
Can you just imagine had that plane not crashed what these guys would have accomplished? ..Sad
@@roltyd22 I cant help but thinking about that everytime I listen to Skynyrd
Gary does a great job on this tune.....Just perfect !
More fun with a slide than the Swedish Bikini Team at a water park
All of these guys were great .
Ronnie Van Zant- Best frontman ever.
his brother does not even come close to him but he is good
Yes
Absolutely the best to ever grace this earth
Never will be another like Ronnie!!
One of the GREATEST BANDS ever.
Pleasure to see the greatest band of all time in Columbus Ga May 24 1977 .
roltyd22 I've heard the band was insanely good that day ! God I wish I was there. When I saw them in Birmingham , Ronnie clearly was not in a good mood. And it brought the whole band down. Still great tho !

Saw them in st. Paul about that time frame with the outlaws.
Killer front man !!!!!!
Billy Powell Wow!!! Going straight from the piano to the organ
My daughter and I laugh when he does it, because it's awesome.
Got the same ole blues. . #44 RIP RONNIE STEVE. CASSIE
Everybody in the band top notch
Rip Gary, the last of the freebirds free at last.. play it pretty in heaven
😢😢😢
I LOVE THIS SONG,RONNIE REALLY PUT THEM FILLINGS IN THIS ONE.
So nice to hear the clearness of Ronnie’s vocals on this. Jacksonville Kids! ❤️
Absolutely the greatest band
The duke of van zant. And Artimus the great !
'Nice'.
Saw them in Chicago in 1977 with Gary Wright, Peter Frampton and Yes....forever grateful I got to witness that...
I was at that show. Terrible venue and they had to rush their set because of Frampton. Most memorable part was on Saturday Night Special synth or organ was louder than ever. F-- I still remember that detail is how much I loved that band
Funky bluesy rock, southern rock at its finest.
Miss Ronnie dearly he was the best singer ever
This Gary's Slide Solo is Incinerating!!!
Not only was Ronnie the greatest southern rock singer/song writer...he was the sexiest man ever. (In my opinion) 😍❤
Oh oui ❤️
He definitely had the "IT" factor.
I'm not gay but I would definitely spoon with him or Gary (-; 😄
Love them so much. It makes me happy & takes me back to better times when I hear them.
Legendary 🔥🤟
The Legend of Southern Rock! 🎧🍺🥃🤟❤️
May 24th 1977 Columbus Ga at the Municipal Auditorium never forget it.
de loin la meilleure version de ce thème,
Le regrété Ronny Van Zant est irremplaçable !!!👍👍✌🏻✌🏻🤠🤠😍😍❤❤
This band die when ronnie gone,never cant replace him
Mean mean mean. Slide is truly the devils instrument..love it
So tight 👌
Billy boy Powell Rockin!
I couldn't see Ronnie living to be old
He didn't either.
If this was released right now it would be a hit all over again.
If you ain't heard JJ Cale and Leon Russell doing this, you're really missing out! If only we coulda seen them all together.
Pezzo difficilissimo da suonare.Questo è stato un grande gruppo e lo è tuttora con la nuova formazione
Amazing! Ronnie sounds great!
The sound of the music is amazing, listen to them all the time! 🎧🍺🥃🤟🎸🎵☝️🎤🦅
Thee Best Band EVER!!! ✌️🤘👌👍👍🤟🤟🤟
The Legend lives on 🤟
My favorite band, ronnie van zant best front man ever was, with his accent had the coolest voice ever
Allen Collins, famous for his solos…coolest rhythm player ever maybe
This song is just one of so many great songs that ronnie wrote and sings so well. It is the heart of skynyrd's music. You can always hear the deep southern roots of skynyrd in these old songs they jammed! Absolutely awesome!
Ronnie didn't write that one....they sure made it theirs though.
You are correct. JJ Cale has written some great songs like call me the breeze, cocaine, after midnight, and many more. Thanks for the comment.
One of my favorite Skynyrd songs. The groove is so deep it feels like it's in the dirt.
C'est une reprise de JJ Cale 😉
One their best this super jams! Crank it loud! Studio version real smooth.
Best band ever from the 70's
Unbelievable superb musicians and a great singer
I relate to this song in so many ways. LOVE IT
It doesn't get any better than that.
Love it forever and a day
I think that line is in Georgia peaches
Might be something like cursing in a churche, but the two guitar line-up of Lynyrd Skynyrd (Ed King out, and Steve Gaines not yet arrived) is the best Skynyrd of all time .
Ronnie is so under appreciated
The ultimate band God bless them. I saw them in Glasgow happy daze .
Greatness shines
One of My all-time Favorite Skynyrd songs. Glad I saw original band in 76' before plane crash as they rocked!
So sad when we heard the news. On there way to my hometown Baton Rouge, would have been my 13th time to see them. Guess 13 wasn't that lucky for me. RIP to the greatest southern rock band ever!!!
A great cover indeed. But nobody can match the original song ( JJ CALE )
Belgaid Makhlouf
Really Didn't know that? I will check it out.
I saw them in Jacksonville in 76 and Savannah in 77. Steve Gaines was with them in Savannah. Two Great Shows.
@@Refugee59 that Savannah concert was there next to last ?
oh ronnie....just beautiful
lostnfound21 actually a cover tune, was written by JJ Cale.
this is the most talent in one band imo, all them members and all so good.Allman brothers too i know.But i give it to skynard, either way both so good live you almost cant stand the cds, i need it live!
My son ask me what kind of music I listen to growing up on an I put on simple man . He know now.
Ya gotta see the Old Grey Whistle Test show from 1975. Best ever version of this song by anybody! And only two guitars from this short period of LS time.
Such an underrated jam!!
The Beatles, Skynryd, Zeppelin, Sabbath tie for number one ❤the rest can fight for 2nd place
Listening in thailand ... missing home
Hope you made it back ok as corny as it sounds the skynard family is tight almost like a motorcycle club
The BEST!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Got the same old blues Allen Collins is holding down the rhythm care roselyn's playing the slide that's a badass song rest in peace boys
Fantastic
