Billy Powel was their roadie. They had no idea he played piano until one day he told Ronnie "If I was to play Freebird, this is how I would do it. They were blown away. Ronnie IMMEDIATELY fired Billy as roadie and said "you play piano like that and never told us?" Billy said "This is a guitar band man". Ronnie said "Not any more". The rest as they say is history.
Right out of the gate, Ronnie is speaking against social injustices and concern about the state of our environment. He’s alluding to the politicians that until they make things right, he hopes they never sleep at night. It hurts me that because of their use of the rebel flag (in the early days), that they are perceived as racists. These lyrics reveal their hearts.
Research the the truth of the flag. Beyond the mainstream lies. Lines right up to their message. That flag represents more freedom than the American flag. Just about everything you ever thought, was a lie. Seek truth. It will make you free.
@@everykneeshallbow Can you elaborate more on how the confederate flag represents more freedom than the American flag? Can you also tell me why the confederate flag was brought back out after Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis both said to the citizens of the confederacy never display it again after the defeat of the south in the civil war?
WOW...WAS BLESSED TO SEE THEM LIVE AT THE FOX THEATRE IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA 3 NIGHTS IN A ROW WHEN THEY RECORDED THEIR LIVE ALBUM...SO LONG AGO, THIS BRINGS IT ALL BACK...THANKS
If you like this give 'I Know a Little' and 'You Got That Right' a spin. Of course, there are at minimum 25 other Skynyrd tunes that will have your head bobbing and feet tapping. A band that just about everything they did was great.
songs like this and pretty much anything Skynyrd or Allman Brothers is responsible for the lions share of my DNA! wouldn't change a thing bout that....
PG, have you considered reacting to the live Skynyrd album One More For the Road? If I'm not mistaken that was the last album they released before their plane crash. I think you are a southerner but didn't know it til you reacted to Allmans and Skynyrd. Love the reactions
Close- they released Street Survivors a couple days before the crash. One More From the Road was before that one. I agree, though, a whole-album reaction to OMFTR would be awesome. My favorite on there (besides the "big ones") has to be T-For-Texas. The way the guitars "talk" back and forth is just a joy to listen to.
I'm not sure if you're Irish or not. I have a lot of Irish in me and I'm proud of it!! You have a bad ass beard man. Someone told me that Irish men can start growing a beard just as soon as their balls drop. I'm not sure what that means but I was growing a beard before my voice completely changed lol

Yes, Billy was a classically trained pianist. He could play everything from Beethoven to Zeppelin. Magnificent talent. RIP Billy

Lisa Michelle RIGHT ON!

He was way ahead of his time, all they ever gave us was great advice. I hope people still take the time to listen to their messages.

Check out their song Swamp Music
Gotta hear "All I Can Do Is Write About It. Total sleeper that might be some of Ronnie's best lyrics.
That Smell is one of Ronnie's best!
The absolute best rock band of all time I have never even heard of a band that does not have one bad song These boys could tear it up
Love these inside tracks. You hear the true artists.
WOW...WAS BLESSED TO SEE THEM LIVE AT THE FOX THEATRE IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA 3 NIGHTS IN A ROW WHEN THEY RECORDED THEIR LIVE ALBUM...SO LONG AGO, THIS BRINGS IT ALL BACK...THANKS
Welcome to one of the best bands to ever exist. FLA !!!
What Up PG, that album is legendary, if you only own one Skynyrd, that's the one, THINGS GOIN' ON, MISSIPPI KID and POISON WHISKY, epic.
You gotta do Coming Home & Every Mothers Son, two more hidden gems.
Every mother's son is great. All their stuff is Great!
Please check out “Junkie” and “Down South Jukin” by Skynyrd! Their both relatively short demos but still BUMP!
"I need you" is one that does not get much radio play, but is a great song
Ok, you HAVE to do “Mississippi kid” by Lynyrd Skynrd🖤
Just recently discovered this song and i’m so happy to watch someone enjoy it as much as i do.
T for Texas from the One More from the Road Album is just so, so, so good. You'll love it.
If you like this give 'I Know a Little' and 'You Got That Right' a spin. Of course, there are at minimum 25 other Skynyrd tunes that will have your head bobbing and feet tapping. A band that just about everything they did was great.
Thank you man, great reaction! That honky tonk groove is hard to beat!
Poison whiskey poison whiskey Lynyrd Skynyrd come
"honky tonk nite time man" "you got that right" "ain't no good life" "working for MCA" ✌️🧡
Check out "Searching" the live version from their album "One More From The Road". Have a good one Pat!
I Got The Same Old Blues is another fine song!
"You got that right "or "I know a little" ✌️♥️
An Injustice...so many get lost in the music and miss the lyricism of Ronnie’s brilliance.
Texas Magnolia, so true.
Skynard I never dreamed it’s my favorite
songs like this and pretty much anything Skynyrd or Allman Brothers is responsible for the lions share of my DNA!
wouldn't change a thing bout that....
Instant LIKE on this one. Watching now. Love it! It’s relevant today!
This song still speaks the truth today bout the crooked politics in dc
Love them 💕 ❤

Think he’s done that song before. But having him react to Skynyrd that close to the crash, let alone live recording, would be emotional.
If you ain’t heard the Mississippi Kid you damn sure need to one of their best songs
Just listen to that stand up bass
Was I right or wrong, is one of their best song, check it out!!!
Yes it is!
There is a diffrent version of this song on there First and Last album
Try Mississippi Kid
I'm not sure if you're Irish or not. I have a lot of Irish in me and I'm proud of it!! You have a bad ass beard man. Someone told me that Irish men can start growing a beard just as soon as their balls drop. I'm not sure what that means but I was growing a beard before my voice completely changed lol
In that picture. Only 1 is still alive.
Now none of the original members are left.
Great one. How about Gimme Back My Bullets?
Have you played Marshall Tucker Band? Allman Brothers?
BLUE SKY ...He reacted to the Fillmore East Album 👍✌️👍✌️👍✌️
Oh man, what an album.
Not sure if he did Marshall Tucker
Patrol Gaming Reacts ...yeah it’s my favorite.....I could listen to it all day every day ✌️
All I can do is write about it by lynard skynard plzzzzz thanks man
If you want to get into a pretty deep one check out was i right or wrong, i don't think there's nearly enough reactions for that song
✔ If you like this....Try Mississippi Kid (Skynyrd) 😃
