Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Annoying Twit]

Hey annoying twit how was the rest of SS? Listen to the rest I love Nothin Fancy and don't forget One More From The Road. If it weren't for the crash the RVZ era band could have become bigger then the Eagles.

I was working so didn't get to listen to it with as much care as I'd like to have. However, it was good quality enjoyable southern rock. Actually, if I'd predicted what sort of music was on the album, I think I would have guessed. No one song jumped out as being as good as Sweet Home Alabama, at least not on the first listening. But, not many songs in the whole world are as good as SHA.

I definitely enjoyed the album.

Street Survivors is my favorite LS album... I prefer the lineup with Steve instead of Ed on guitar.

I have an original copy with the flames (before they changed it) with an insert for a free tshirt and the tour dates they were supposed to go on before they crashed. It's a prized possession of mine, no doubt.

I have my dad's copy of that album with the flames and tour date info. I love it, but it being my dad's copy makes it even more special.

Just saw a biopic is in the works called "Freebird" and it'll actually be co-written and produced by drummer Artimus Pyle who survived the plane crash. It's also supposed to cover his friendship with Ronnie too and casting looks to be underway with filming starting later this summer. Sounds like they're hoping for a release date next year.

Seems to be a trend going on with Classic Rock biopic films coming as there were already two in development about Beatles manager Brian Epstein and last week one got announced about The Rolling Stones set during the making of "Exile on Main Street".

Cameron Crowe did just a great tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd last night in the latest episode of his show "Roadies"!!! All the characters spent the whole episode on a bus ride so the Phil character (Ron White) finally told them the story of how he met Ronnie and started touring with the band and we got to see the flashbacks. It was such a great episode and the actor who played Ronnie did a great job. Some of the stories were true and they used footage from actual Skynyrd concerts, but Cameron did also write in that story of what happened with Irving and the Eagles with the drugs at the airport but made it about Phil instead. The relationship Cameron wrote about Ronnie & Phil felt so much like how he wrote Russell & William's in "Almost Famous" and we know that was based off Cameron & Glenn's real life friendship, so when Phil talked about Ronnie dying and how hard it was to lose one of his close friends & mentors it hit me that I think Cameron was also talking about Glenn and I got teary eyed. It was such a great episode.

I don't know a lot about Lynyrd Skynyrd (apart from the plane crash and the two most famous songs), but I enjoyed it. They were more convincing than Vinyl's "Led Zeppelin" and I loved the swagger as they walked out of a hotel together.

I made the Eagles connection with the customs, although I'm sure every band had its own customs story.
