      I live in Texas 🇨🇱 and I was planning to go see Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in Dallas/Ft Worth that was scheduled before the plane crashed. Man I was so upset about it!
      I’ve had the ringtone of the first few notes of “Sweet Home Alabama” for many years now. I have the collector Album cover that shows Ronnie Van Zandt, Steve Gains & his sister Chrissy Gains, (the three killed) where it looks like they’re engulfed in flames 🔥. Man, I was so upset hearing that. 🥲

      One of biggest travesties in the music industry is that when ever some publications make a list of the top 100 guitarists of all time, the boys from Skynyrd always get disrespected. They're either completely ignored,.. or placed far down on the list! Allen Collins should easily make the top twenty of any list.

It's sad to say, but a lot of this gets taken for granted by those of us who have heard them thousands of times.

      Reaction videos, like many other popular trends, are inundating the atmosphere though...like an asshole, everyone's got one. The unfortunate side of it is that many of them are just people shouting out interjections. Those are boring, because anybody can do that...those types don't deserve the platform. The plus side is that people like Brad & Lex, Lost In Vegas, The Charismatic Voice, and select others, have something to offer the listeners other than, "DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN!!!"

    When I watch someone hearing this timeless classic for the first time it actually makes me tear up just watching them. This song is like an epiphany and sharing it with people is a great joy. By the way watching them play it live in 1977 is even better than this. The guitar solo is gotta be one of the top ten of all time. So many masters of their craft in one band effortlessly turning it on.
    and in the background of this masterpiece is the sobering reminder of their fate in a plane crash which makes it even more poignant.

      Back in 1977 I saw them at the Concord Pavilion in California over near Oakland just before where they filmed that live version at the Oakland Stadium you see alot. That one in Oakland is NOT my favorite rendition of this song. When I left the Army back in 76, it was tradition this was to be play by the best stereo in the Barracks as you crossed the doorway leaving the building for the last time.. By the best stereo I mean really the best. Pioneer amps and Equalizers,Sansui, JBL's Kenwoods speakers, Dual or Harmon Cardon Turntables, Teac Real to Reals, Ect, Ect, Ect. The best back in the 76 era.for around $3000+. I played it for someone and someone played it for me.

Lex, Look at Brad, there is a based man, he is a keeper. I could easily be friends with him. He is "real", he is a good guy. The funny thing is that when you take a good man and a good woman the result is far more than the sum of the parts, that is where the magic is. I have seen some of your videos about your trials in life, and I wish only the best for you two. There is a big difference between wishes and reality. You have my wishes, I am confident you will make a reality that exceeds my wishes, more power to you.

    This is southern rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the most talented bands there's ever been! I remember when their plane crashed, all us kids in my neighborhood cried. We couldn't believe it. They were huge and were only getting bigger at that very point in time. Ronny Van Zant, the singer, wrote nothing but fire! He had that magical talent only a few famous songwriters get. Yes, they were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, they'll always be one of my top bands as long as I'm breathing.

      I feel ya! I mean, I was only one when the plane crash happened, but I had a cool ass mom who showed me all the greats in southern rock (which in my opinion Skynyrd totally started!) and classic rock! Hell, I lost something I can never get back with Skynyrd on the radio (I need you)! I wish I could have seen them before the crash, but I have seen them like 10 times since I was 16. Like you, I love to see people react to something for the first time, knowing it is something amazing that they are about to hear!
