Steve Gaines gets too much recognition. He wasnt a member long. As far as I can remember he had no ". stage presence" He just stood around looking like an Okie from Muskogee
@@CoyLeigh-bl5gh Steve did have some songwriting contributions on Street Survivors. I know a little, You got that right, I never dreamed. Those are Gaines written tunes. Ed on the other hand was an original member with many contribution to their monster hits. I was lucky enough to see them in Richmond, Virginia before the plane crash.
@@johnstaiano5191 Steve was talented but if you listen to the songs he wrote, plays and sings on, such as I Know A Little and Ain't No Good Life, those songs were Texas/Oklahoma Blues not Southern rock. I have a feeling that if Steve had been around for a couple of more albums, the sound of the band would have significantly changed and not for the better. I do like that song of Steve's "I Never Dreamed". Cool use of guitar chords and quite a few different ones. Not really Texas Blues like the others.
Allen Collins had the most stage presence of the 4 Skynyrd guitarists. No doubt about it. I love to see him jumping up and down on Free Bird and other songs. Allen was also a damn good guitar player and probably the best in Skynyrd. Technically, Gaines was better, but Allen played with more feeling. Ed was a damn good guitarist and the best songwriter of the 4 guitarists although we only had the one LP to judge Steve on.. Of course, Ronnie was the one that turned their guitar parts into killer songs.
I don't drink anymore, but my shoes still do shuffle around when I hear Lynyrd Skynyrd through speakers or in my head. Thanks to my brothers and friends I'll never meet, at least not in life. Edit: I am drinking again. Sometimes I still enjoy music, though I'm mostly pretty anhedonic these days.
Although Skynyrd has been dubbed "drinking music", I like my Skynyrd best with no alcohol, just a bit of the old ganja!!! A couple of bong hits and I'm ready to fly high with some Free Bird!
☆~Saw/listen to them 76 Pawtucket Rhode Island, plaster was Falling from the ceiling. 16 year old kid, and of course my older brothers. That next year on the radio going to school, tears rolling down my eyes. 😐🙏🏻🇺🇸✝️ RIP fellas and gals.
Ronnie said in an interview once that he thought it was their "poorest outing" or something to that effect but then he said "but's it's hard to argue with gold, though". LOL! He was so much the man dude.
This was considered along with gimme back my bullets lynyrd synyrds weakest album even Ronnie said he thought it wasn't up to skynyrd s standards strange thou because I thought it was a pretty strong outing
R.I.P. Gary Rossington (04.12.1951.-05.03.2023.) He is best know as a founding member of Southern Rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Rossington was also a founding member of the Rossington Collins Band, along with former bandmate Allen Collins.
Haha shit I don’t know if they’re responsible for for me being a whiskey rock- n-roller they sure helped me learn about Jack Daniels and my shoes shuffling around, shit I ain’t nuttn fancy, luv me some Skynyrd though
Ed King, Allen Collins, and Ronnie wrote the best Skynyrd songs (Sweet Home (Ed, Gary), Free Bird (Allen), Saturday Night Special (Ed), Workin' For the MCA (Ed), The Needle and The Spoon (Allen), etc.). Ed, Billy, and Ronnie wrote this song. Ed and Ronnie wrote the legendary Saturday Night Special that kicks off this album. Miss Ed, we lost him 2-3 years ago. Too bad Gary refused to let Ed and Artimus re-join the band especially Ed who had to drop out due to heart problems in the mid-90's.
@@ferm8103 You're welcome. You Scotts are Rockers ..... especially Mr. Bon Scott who can also play drums and bagpipes .... Bon and Ronnie Van Zant were two of the best front men of all time.
king of the hill Uh oh. Canada. Hank his neighbors get drunk from the kegerator to get back at their Canadian neighbors swapping homes with boomhauer. Alright you turkeys! I got a Two four of slewbecks. !!
Ed King’s guitar riffs were so underrated. He didn’t have Steve Gaines stage presence, but damn he helped create some of the bands best riffs.

Grateful we are able to hear this kind of music once again.
One of their best. RIP boys. We'll keep your memory alive down here.
Memories of Gary Rossington -- may his guitar work play forever!!

I think this album is the only vinyl I don't have...boy, they sure sound good now...nothing like original albums..RIP Gary..
My personal favorite Skynyrd album.
Ronnie said in an interview once that he thought it was their "poorest outing" or something to that effect but then he said "but's it's hard to argue with gold, though". LOL! He was so much the man dude.
