    These guys were talking about the Billboard charts. Gimme back my bullets means “we want another hit” like they were older and not getting the love they deserved. #12 “with a bullet” was the actual symbol used on the chart (bullet points, etc.). So between this and “Working for MCA” they wrote some real bangers about the music industry.

      Unfortunately gun lobby took it over, no matter what the song's origins are. Ain't nobody going to survive a shootout with SWAT, ATF, National Guard, Marines, Army, Air Force, FBI, CIA, Maltan Masons etc etc. This nonsense about gun panty equipment and FreeDumb already logged the evidence that most deviants and weaklings and sex offenders drool over mass murdershaft death equipment.

    The best southern rock band ever! Ronnie Van Zant was a master band leader. Memorized all the lyrics to all the songs and expected the other members to memorize every note of every song. It’s one reason they put on fantastic live shows. I saw them 3 times prior to the plane crash. RIP to all that have passed.

    You guy's called it. Lynyrd Skynyrd is a hard core American Southern Rock band. They were street kids from Jacksonville FL. Ronnie Van Zant in particular was allegedly a brawler. They say if you wanted to know what Ronnie was like, just listen to any 6 L.Z. songs and you would know him.

      Ronnie also said, since he insisted that every band member remember every note of every song & make sure they played it perfectly, that the least he could do is hold up his end of the bargain too. Like a general who lead the charge instead of holding back & leading from the rear. Kind of

    Have commented about meaning of Gimmee back my bullets. Its stems from places on the music charts the bullets next to the name of the song.
    They were the hardest touring band at the time, and just got a new drummer Artimus Pyle ( great notice on the drum style )
    They were tired of being underrated. First three albums were with producer Al Kooper Cooley.
    New producer Tom Dowd on this one.

The wreck of their plane ended up in a welding shop scrap in our town and we used to go sneak in and look at it in my later teen years. RIP Ronnie Van Zant.

    A pencil pusher would be a businessman/accountant in general, but Lynyrd Skynyrd also fought the battle with the recording industry that fought them for rights/control. So to me, this is a plea for more creative control---give me back my bullets--and just more sense of ease in the life. Let me be me...right? These guys are tight...Ronnie drilled 'em like a sergeant, is how it sounds! And I love that he always performed barefoot. They were hard, but in the end they had a heart, not a band to hide behind the southern flag and all that.

    There are SOOOOOOOOO many great great great bands from the greatest decade of modern music, The 70's. You can't count the number of bands that made Life Changing music , not just with the instruments but the words and messages in the lyrics is unmatched. There were so many different styles of rock and roll too that every nerve within the human body was touched. You have SOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE to explore, learn about, and understand what occured in that decade of the 70's.
    And a large percentage of these bands played well into the 1980's and a few into the 90's.
    RnB and Disco were also great contributors to what was coming out of our Boom Boxes/Over The Airways....
    Continue your exploration into the music, bands, and lyrics of the 70's and I promise you it will forever change your appreciation for real music.
    Oh, pay attention to all of the harmonies that each band incorporated into almost every song. You haven't heard harmony on the radio for 4 decades/since the 80's. And done by the groups who carried over from the 40's 50's 60's and 70's... Journey On Fella's

    On their first five studio albums they don't miss. Every song is amazing. This ended up being my favorite Skynyrd album, even though I love them all. It's a little rawer/simpler, probably because there were only two guitarist on this album. Not knocking Ed King, who had left the band. He was a badass musician. They got Steve Gaines on the next album, Street Survivors, which gave them a little different sound. Of course he was a badass too.
    I know their music has been categorized as Southern rock, but to me there's really no such thing. Rock originated from the South, thanks to the blues and country music, and artists like Chuck Berry and Elvis.
    Cry For the Bad Man is a great tune from this record. Or just randomly pick one to react to, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. You can do that with any of their first five studio albums.

    They were all Street Boys, from the streets of the Westside of Jacksonville Florida.... Park St and Cassat Ave to be exact.... The neighborhood they grew up in was called Shantytown and when I was growing up there in the 80s it was called the Bottom...
