If you're not aware, a Saturday Night Special was a mail order .22 caliber handgun for about $40-50 bucks. In the 70s a lot of Saturday night shootings with these throw away guns.
Ronnie was the heart and soul of the band. Everybody was great, but it was his band. On stage he didn't run and jump around, but he just had a presence you could feel. I was lucky enough to see them twice in 1976, unbelievable shows. The first time I hardly knew who they were and I was a fan for life after they played the very first song, 'Workin' For MCA'. It's great being able to see all those live videos out here, but you had to be there to truly appreciate how good they were live. A big group of us had tickets to see them at Cobo Hall on October 31st, 1977, and they had the plane crash 10 days before that. The show was originally scheduled for June and had to be rescheduled because of a car crash, so we had been waiting for months. What a horrible tragedy, but their music is still making millions happy.
"Tuesday's Gone" is another great one if you like this style. Other greats being listed in here are more upbeat jams.. all good. Tuesday's gone.. is my all time favorite LS song. Another "teary song while driving home from work every couple of months" Haha.. that was good!
Agree completely. Listen to Tuesdays Gone live version from the double album "One from the road". It is one of their best if not the best songs and performances ever.
Molly Hatchet "Gator Country". Took Southern rock to another level. Danny Joe Brown's (RIP) vocals have never been matched. Heavy bass with growling guitars. Take me back to 80s. The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides will blow your minds!
I've owned Carolina Dreams on 8-Track, cassette, vinyl, and now CD. It's a timeless classic southern rock album that contains so many great songs. TMTB is often overlooked and I don't know why.
"Carolina Dreams" is a simply great album. Far better than it ever reached on the charts. There aren't any fillers on the album, just great southern rock with MTB style.
I thought I caught a little emotion building in Andy's face there but couldn't be sure. Thanks for confirming. Genuine responses like those are always a good thing on channels like these. Speaks a thousand words. I would also caution Alex against micro analyzing some of these classics for musicianship flaws indiscernible to the casual listener. Whatever flaw you think you're hearing is part of an overall composition of sound and emotion that has made these songs so timeless. Sometimes imperfection is perfection. These songs are classics because they spoke/speak to the soul, not because they necessarily adhered to strict musical tenets. Overall great reaction as usual guys!! 🤟
You're right, Gary Rossington's solo is the crown jewel of the song, but what makes the song the classic that it is are the lyrics and Ronnie's vocals. You southern boys love your mamas to the nth degree. A character trait that I deeply admire and respect. And if you can't get a great song from that, then you're probably a Yankee. Glad you loved the tune, gentlemen. I'd love to hear your thoughts on "I Need You".
@@lisaw5604 Thanks Lisa! Hope you did as well :)) RVZ wrote some remarkable lyrics in his day, but this song might be my favorite. I love the imagery of a mother giving advice to her son.... and great advice it is!
Yes some 38 Special...Wild Eyed Southern Boys and Rockin' into the Night and Fantasy Girl to Back Where You Belong and Second Chance,so many great ones!!🎶🎶❤
"Gimme Three Steps" and "Call Me the Breeze" are bangers. "Tuesday's Gone" is a ballad more like "Simple Man" and "Ballad of Curtis Lowe" (which latter is also reviewing time well spent).
Gimme Three Steps is based on a true event. When Ronnie Van Zant was 18 he used a fake ID to get into The Little Brown Jug, danced with a girl named Linda, till her boyfriend came in. Ronnie ran to truck where his brother was waiting, along with another bandmate. They wrote the song that night in about 20 mins. As related by Linda Van Zant. Great song!
I love this song. Brings tears to my eyes, as I remember my friends, who passed away too young. We always refer to them as a "Simple kind of man". The friends we loved and lost. They lived these words and we still admire their souls and memories. Thank you A&A!
I love Train Train by Blackfoot. It was written by Shorty Medlocke, grandfather of Rick Medlocke who was a member of both Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot.
This is my favourite Skynrd song. I love the lyrics so much because it reminds me of my Mother whom I'm really close with and she gave me similar advice throughout my life.
Robert G. I would give a LOT to see them react to Green Grass and High Tides. I wonder if they’d make it to the end without spontaneous combustion. 🎸🎸🎸
"Tuesdays Gone", Saturday Night Special", "That Smell", "T For Texas", "Call Me The Breeze", all all great tunes, with "Tuesdays Gone" has soulful bluesy undertones that tug at your soul, and great piano by Billy Powell.
So glad you enjoyed it. I will tell you that as you get older and your grandparents and parents unfortunately leave this earth as mine have, you will be even more emotional than you were today.
another great southern rock is Molly Hatchet "Dreams I'll Never See" "flirtin' with disaster" and "Beatin' the odds" "Boogie no more" and more recently "Kickstart to freedom"
When I moved from home in 1988 just before I turned 20, this song came on about 20 minutes after I started driving. I was crying and damn near turned around to go back and hug my parents. Still a favorite to this day. If you want a fun song that a lot of people seem to miss, I missed it for decades - have no idea how managed it, check out Mississippi Kid (studio version) by Skynyrd. My hand to god if you don't feel like a bass ass with a shit eating Southern grin on your face - I don't know what will. It's a "simple" blues song that's fun to sing. Happy New Years gents! Love from Kansas City.
Nice reaction as always guys! It is an emotional song for me especially since losing my Momma. Beautiful song. Gimme Back My Bullets and That Smell should be next! 🤘
I Know A Little, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, The Needle and the Spoon, Georgia Peaches, Don't Ask Me No Questions and Call Me The Breeze are all LS faves of mine.
All great tunes - Don't Ask... being the hardest belter on the list. Needle/Spoon is an arm-hair raiser for sure. One of my earliest accomplishments as a young practicing musician was the bass-line of 'I know A Little' - unfuckwithable!
"Tuesday's Gone" is awesome, as others have said. To set your expectations, Tuesday's Gone is an intense ballad all the way through, like the beginning of Simple Man or Freebird but with no banger section.
Ok..have to agree with 90% on here...THAT SMELL needs to be next skynyrd song. My personal favorite. Btw! Hope y’all had a great holiday! Glad to see you. Clicked so fast on Skynyrd!
I'm a simple man, I see you two reacting to simple man and I click. Now you should let Ronnie tell ya'll about Linda Lou. Mr. Saturday Night Special has a really mean guitar breakdown too
Totally," give me three steps"! Tuesday gone is just like simple man. If you laying back, cuddling with your babe. Smooth southern sound, but if you want the SAUCE! Give me three steps!
Im 52 and watching you guys hear this great old rock and roll for the first time brings me back to when I first heard these songs. Keep up the good work and stay with the classics.
Tuesday’s Gone is my favorite, similar to this one and a gorgeous song. Ronnie Van Zant was a tough bad ass, but wrote some beautiful lyrics! Thanks for reviewing these awesome classic songs from my youth!
Everyone in the band were great friends - but they all feared and respected Ronnie, and he ran band practices like an Army Seargent. It's funny, because some of the guys go way back to grade school, and Ronnie was the neighborhood tough guy they were all scared of for real, haha! Ah, man, I can't even tell ya how much I love this band...
'I Never Dreamed', 'Swamp Music', 'That Smell', 'Gimme Back My Bullets', 'Needle and The Spoon', 'Call Me The Breeze', etc...so many great ones for sure.
This is my fave Skynyrd song, glad you’re reacting to this one. I’ll echo the poster who suggested .38 Special, also Molly Hatchet. I think Bob Seger is another artist you should check out.
If i had to chose, this would prolly be my favourite song of all time. Just bc of the words and when it found me. I always say this song is like a parent to me. Always hear it before any big milestone in my life - new years, auditions, interviews. 👌🏻🤘🏻
They have soooooooo many great songs - what next? 1) Call me the Breeze - great upbeat check all the boxes song 2) Give Me Three Steps - bar/radio hit type song 3) That Smell - great real life near death lyrics - so cool PS Andy & Alex since you’re digging Skynryd check out “Flirting with Disaster” by Molly Hatchett!!! And since you also love The Allman Brothers check out Molly Hatchett’s cover of their song “Dreams I’ll Never See” - both soooooooooo good Rock it! 😎🎸🤟
This is by far, my favorite song of all time. It has such a deep meaning to me personally. That being said, if you are looking for a deep cut of some Skynyrd, look no further than my second favorite song, Ain't No Good Life.
another band that has songs people hear and never remember who did it but hear bands playing is Grand Funk Railroad with songs like "we're an American band" "The Loco Motion" and I'm your captain/getting closer.
Even though they screwed with the lyrics, the first time you see GFR's live 1969 performance of their cover of "Inside Looking Out" you are blown away.
Hey guys! Nice reaction. For bangers you gotta try WORKIN' FOR M.C.A., CALL ME THE BREEZE, SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, WHAT'S YOUR NAME, BALLAD OF CURTIS LOWE, DON'T ASK ME NO QUESTIONS, NEEDLE AND THE SPOON, ON THE HUNT. All Southern rock BANGERS by the best Southern Rock Band! 🔥🔥🔥
Gimme 3 steps, that smell, Tuesdays gone, the needle and the spoon, ballad of curtis lowe, you can't go wrong with any of them. Also try blackfoot tune highway song. The guitar solo at the end is awesome.
This is my favorite Skynyrd tune!!!! Great reaction! An aside - I think you guys should come up with a line of Merch, with your primary item being Andy and Alex bobble-head dolls! I'd buy them!!!!
Poison Whiskey, Whiskey Rock-a-Roller, Swamp Music, Don't Ask Me No Questions, On the Hunt, Ballad of Curtis Loew, Working for MCA, You Got That Right, I Ain't the One...
You boys nailed it, well done. The story of the is producer didn’t want the song as they were starting production. Ronnie Van Zant walked him out of the building and put him in his car and said we will call you when it’s done. Nobody messed with Ronnie, he knew what he wanted and did it his way.
This song is so special to me. I have sung this song to my son his whole life (he’s 13). We recently found out that he was autistic and has asked me many times if someone can love him for being autistic. So now when I sing “you’ll find love” and “follow your heart and nothing else”, I have to choke back my tears. Such a beautiful song.
Literally a 3-chord song. Even I can play it with the arpeggio then the strumming, and I have little talent. It's the lyrics, and they're clear and the point. They're spiritual, actually. Don't complicate your mind with "nuance." Don't be intellectual when the bullet heads for the bone. Live honestly. It's a cry for simplicity, sincerity, and honesty that, when all is said and done, will serve you better than smarts (to be "satisfied", aka "peace of mind").
I Know a Little is a massively underrated deep cut gem off the Street Survivors album. Steve Gaines guitar work is blazingly fast on it. You guys will love it.
![อยู่คนเดียวกับเขา - ส้ม มารี (Zom Marie) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gq1cWAIQDLg/mqdefault.jpg)
Hey guys it was time for some more Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Such an amazing track, what’s the next one we gotta check out by them?! Cheers guys! 🔥🤟🏻
"That Smell"
Andy & Alex Close to the edge by yes!! or some more Skid Row!!
This is Right Up My Alley.🎵🎧.im a Student of Ronnie Van Zandt...he wrote serious Songs for common folk. Deep🎶🎹
So Many good Lyrics.
Banger SkynYRd songs. TRY... Workin for MCA OR TRAVELIN MAN🎶🎶
Call Me The Breeze, Ballad of Curtis Loew, Tuesday’s Gone, All I Can Do Is Write About It....
Guys over 60 always tear up a bit. Knowing the story, knowing the tragedy, and knowing the message.
"Saturday Night Special" is a great Skynyrd song.
O yea!!!
SNS for sure, and "Call Me the Breeze," a monster blues shuffle with incredible piano solo to go with the guitars.
I abhor "covers" but Armored Saint does SNS justice.
If you're not aware, a Saturday Night Special was a mail order .22 caliber handgun for about $40-50 bucks. In the 70s a lot of Saturday night shootings with these throw away guns.
Ed King’s song. The only Strat.
Ronnie was the heart and soul of the band. Everybody was great, but it was his band. On stage he didn't run and jump around, but he just had a presence you could feel. I was lucky enough to see them twice in 1976, unbelievable shows. The first time I hardly knew who they were and I was a fan for life after they played the very first song, 'Workin' For MCA'.

What a horrible tragedy, but their music is still making millions happy.
"That Smell" from the Street Survivors Album. Absolute banger.
yes!!
Agreed!!!
Gives me a rush everytime I here it.
The Guitar work on That Smell is amazing.
"That Smell" is an amazing tune, a must listen to track.
The ballad of curtis loewe by lynyrd skynyrd is my favorite by them.
Yes... Absolutely.
Easily their most underrated song.
Great tune!
Right with you there and don't forget Swamp Music
Easily my favorite Skynyrd song .....
I love the closed eyes. This is a meditative song. One of the greatest songs ever written.
"Gimme three step, gimme three steps, Mister... Gimme three steps toward the door..."
Now that's a fun bar song!
Robert Cartier < Absolutely! And back in the day, you'd see me singing this on karaoke nights. But "You'll never see me no more." 🍺🎤🙄🔊
"Give Me Back My Bullets"
Workin for Mca. Is the song that got them signed...powerful Real Lyrics....
D Krom YES!
"You will not see me crying cause I do not sing the blues, gimme back my bullets".
Tejas Rob Put ‘em back where they belong, ain’t foolin’ around cuz I done had my fun, ain’t gonna see no more damage done
Fellow Texan Tejas Rob?
Gimme back my bullets has always been my theme song!!! 👍
"Tuesday's Gone" is another great one if you like this style.
Other greats being listed in here are more upbeat jams.. all good.
Tuesday's gone.. is my all time favorite LS song. Another "teary song while driving home from work every couple of months"
Haha.. that was good!
Every time I hear "Tuesdays Gone" and I can think of is the 'Happy Gilmore' opening 😂
It's a great song tho!
Second this comment. Absolutely check out Tuesday's Gone for something with the same vibe
Agree completely. Listen to Tuesdays Gone live version from the double album "One from the road". It is one of their best if not the best songs and performances ever.
Blackdog06019 - 100% agree with this! I can’t hear Tuesday’s gone without thinking of Adam Sandler haha
Reminds me of happy gilmore. But FIRST . great song...
That Smell gotta be the next Skynyrd !!
Peter Quinones Up!!!
Big Yes to "That Smell". Epic.
Yessss. This is it. Banger
Whiskey bottles and brand new cars
@@shonuff3933 Oak tree your in my way!!
For some more great southern rock check out “Flirtin’ With Disaster” by Molly Hatchet. ICONIC
Yes PLEASE!!! Molly Hatchet Flirtin with Disaster or pretty much anything of the 1st 2 albums!
Yep - agree. Molly Hatchet takes southern rock to southern banger.
Molly Hatchet "Gator Country". Took Southern rock to another level. Danny Joe Brown's (RIP) vocals have never been matched. Heavy bass with growling guitars. Take me back to 80s. The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides will blow your minds!
Fall of The Peacemakers
You should check out The Marshall Tucker Band - "Can't You See", "Take the Highway", "Heard it in a Love Song"
Or Fire on the Mountain is my favorite!!
@@kathyleigh3590 There are so many great ones, "Searching for a Rainbow", " New Life", This 'ol Cowbow", etc. Fire on the Mountain is a great one!
MTB. Another of my favorite bands.
I've owned Carolina Dreams on 8-Track, cassette, vinyl, and now CD. It's a timeless classic southern rock album that contains so many great songs. TMTB is often overlooked and I don't know why.
"Carolina Dreams" is a simply great album. Far better than it ever reached on the charts. There aren't any fillers on the album, just great southern rock with MTB style.
Skynyrds "That Smell"
I thought I caught a little emotion building in Andy's face there but couldn't be sure. Thanks for confirming. Genuine responses like those are always a good thing on channels like these. Speaks a thousand words. I would also caution Alex against micro analyzing some of these classics for musicianship flaws indiscernible to the casual listener.

These songs are classics because they spoke/speak to the soul, not because they necessarily adhered to strict musical tenets.
Overall great reaction as usual guys!! 🤟
Yeah, Skynyrd were no slouches in the studio [also live for that matter] and always had killer production.
flubblert Great point...Critics criticize, fans listen & enjoy!
You're right, Gary Rossington's solo is the crown jewel of the song, but what makes the song the classic that it is are the lyrics and Ronnie's vocals. You southern boys love your mamas to the nth degree. A character trait that I deeply admire and respect. And if you can't get a great song from that, then you're probably a Yankee.
Glad you loved the tune, gentlemen.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on "I Need You".
The lyrics are timeless, especially when delivered by Ronnie Van Zant's iconic vocals. I would vote "Saturday Night Special" as the next Skynrd tune.
Yep. This is a good one. Hits all the right spots! Hope you had a great holiday, Kevin!! Great day to ya. :))
@@lisaw5604 Thanks Lisa! Hope you did as well :)) RVZ wrote some remarkable lyrics in his day, but this song might be my favorite. I love the imagery of a mother giving advice to her son.... and great advice it is!
@@tallykev6608 Absolutely. A talk everyone should get, no? Will ttyl. :))
Skynyrd: southern rock at its best!
Ronnies brother ...Donnie Van Zandt was in.38 Special...Southern Rock huge band
"Hold on loosely" was they breakthru song---
Yes! Love 38 special too!! So good.
Yes some 38 Special...Wild Eyed Southern Boys and Rockin' into the Night and Fantasy Girl to Back Where You Belong and Second Chance,so many great ones!!🎶🎶❤
@@deelawson4551 Absolutely! :))
Add Chain Lightning, Like No Other Night, Twentieth Century Fox, and Has There Ever Been A Good Goodbye to this list.
Fantasy Girl 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
"Gimme Three Steps" and "Call Me the Breeze" are bangers. "Tuesday's Gone" is a ballad more like "Simple Man" and "Ballad of Curtis Lowe" (which latter is also reviewing time well spent).
This is an all time classic.
Simple Man is one of my all-time favorite songs 💓
The lyrics get me everytime. This is a song that makes me reflective on life. It expresses the love a mother has for her son.
Gimme Three Steps is based on a true event. When Ronnie Van Zant was 18 he used a fake ID to get into The Little Brown Jug, danced with a girl named Linda, till her boyfriend came in. Ronnie ran to truck where his brother was waiting, along with another bandmate. They wrote the song that night in about 20 mins. As related by Linda Van Zant. Great song!
This is an example of a song that punches you straight in the soul. It never gets old.
This is a fat 10. One of my favorite Skynyrd songs. Saturday Night Special is a great one.
hard to argue with any song that starts with "Mama told me...."
I love this song. Brings tears to my eyes, as I remember my friends, who passed away too young. We always refer to them as a "Simple kind of man". The friends we loved and lost. They lived these words and we still admire their souls and memories. Thank you A&A!
Probably my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song, but they have many great ones.
Train Train or Highway Song by Blackfoot
I love Train Train by Blackfoot. It was written by Shorty Medlocke, grandfather of Rick Medlocke who was a member of both Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot.
You have to hear That Smell by LS
This is my favourite Skynrd song. I love the lyrics so much because it reminds me of my Mother whom I'm really close with and she gave me similar advice throughout my life.
Gimme 3 steps, call me the breeze. Classics.
LS version rocks, but I like the version by JJ Cale - laid back and smooth.
Want Southern rock?
Outlaws - Green grass and high tides
Marshall Tucker Band - Take the Highway, and Can't you see.
Robert G. I would give a LOT to see them react to Green Grass and High Tides. I wonder if they’d make it to the end without spontaneous combustion. 🎸🎸🎸
X 3 on Green Grass and High Tides.
I'm not much of a Marshall Tucker fan, but Outlaws' Green Grass... is a total classic belter!
“Call Me the Breeze” has to be next!
Leon Wilkeson's bass is just killing it, he was such a great player
"Tuesdays Gone", Saturday Night Special", "That Smell", "T For Texas", "Call Me The Breeze", all all great tunes, with "Tuesdays Gone" has soulful bluesy undertones that tug at your soul, and great piano by Billy Powell.
"I Know A Little" and the live "T For Texas". Both feature the guitarist Steve Gaines, who was insanely good.
Tuesday’s Gone, Gimme Three Steps, Saturday Night Special, That Smell
Tuesday's gone!!!!!
"Tuesday's Gone" best ballad ever!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it. I will tell you that as you get older and your grandparents and parents unfortunately leave this earth as mine have, you will be even more emotional than you were today.
I know you guys love Rush as a power trio, check out the Texas power trio ZZ Top - La Grange is a great song to start with imho
If I were to choose one ZZ Top tune, it would be Back Door Medley off of Fandango!, or Heard It on the X from the same album.
I love this song. I get emotional from it too. It's so wholesome.
Tuesdays gone for sure! Another Southern Rock 10. Emotional
another great southern rock is Molly Hatchet "Dreams I'll Never See" "flirtin' with disaster" and "Beatin' the odds" "Boogie no more" and more recently "Kickstart to freedom"
Ponyboy Curtis Yes
If you like Southern rock, Molly Hatchet - Flirtin with Disaster, will blow your hair back!!!
PS: Molly Hatchet originated out of Jacksonville, FL
@@martybattle9002 Dreams I'll never see and Boogie no more are very guitar friendly songs love the riffs
Dreams I’ll never see is an Allman Brothers remake. I do think molly hatchets version is better.
When I moved from home in 1988 just before I turned 20, this song came on about 20 minutes after I started driving. I was crying and damn near turned around to go back and hug my parents. Still a favorite to this day. If you want a fun song that a lot of people seem to miss, I missed it for decades - have no idea how managed it, check out Mississippi Kid (studio version) by Skynyrd. My hand to god if you don't feel like a bass ass with a shit eating Southern grin on your face - I don't know what will. It's a "simple" blues song that's fun to sing. Happy New Years gents! Love from Kansas City.
Nice reaction as always guys! It is an emotional song for me especially since losing my Momma. Beautiful song. Gimme Back My Bullets and That Smell should be next! 🤘
I Know A Little, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, The Needle and the Spoon, Georgia Peaches, Don't Ask Me No Questions and Call Me The Breeze are all LS faves of mine.
All great tunes - Don't Ask... being the hardest belter on the list. Needle/Spoon is an arm-hair raiser for sure. One of my earliest accomplishments as a young practicing musician was the bass-line of 'I know A Little' - unfuckwithable!
Curtis Loew is awesome. Great "pickin guitar" song!!! Cuz Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues 🎶
"Tuesday's Gone" is awesome, as others have said. To set your expectations, Tuesday's Gone is an intense ballad all the way through, like the beginning of Simple Man or Freebird but with no banger section.
Really amazing guitar solos though, of course.
Ok..have to agree with 90% on here...THAT SMELL needs to be next skynyrd song. My personal favorite.
Btw! Hope y’all had a great holiday! Glad to see you. Clicked so fast on Skynyrd!
I'm a simple man, I see you two reacting to simple man and I click. Now you should let Ronnie tell ya'll about Linda Lou. Mr. Saturday Night Special has a really mean guitar breakdown too
*"Saturday Night Special"* and *"That Smell"* are great tunes from Skynyrd...🎶🎸🙂
This was once my cell phone ringback tone. I would definitely check out Tuesday's Gone, What's Your Name and That Smell.
That Smell has to be next.
Words to live by.
Totally," give me three steps"! Tuesday gone is just like simple man. If you laying back, cuddling with your babe. Smooth southern sound, but if you want the SAUCE! Give me three steps!
Im 52 and watching you guys hear this great old rock and roll for the first time brings me back to when I first heard these songs. Keep up the good work and stay with the classics.
I love this song! Agree with That Smell & Gimme Three Steps. You two have taken over the title of my favorite reaction channel!!
If you want a real guitar showcase from this band, try "That Smell".
Call me the breeze has two different solos in it, piano and guitar.. It's a banger for sure.
Tuesday’s Gone is my favorite, similar to this one and a gorgeous song. Ronnie Van Zant was a tough bad ass, but wrote some beautiful lyrics! Thanks for reviewing these awesome classic songs from my youth!

'I Never Dreamed', 'Swamp Music', 'That Smell', 'Gimme Back My Bullets', 'Needle and The Spoon', 'Call Me The Breeze', etc...so many great ones for sure.
This is my fave Skynyrd song, glad you’re reacting to this one. I’ll echo the poster who suggested .38 Special, also Molly Hatchet. I think Bob Seger is another artist you should check out.
That Smell and On the Hunt are great
Hope you guys had a great Christmas. What a song, thank you for that👍. “Give me 3 Steps” is my vote for the next one by them.
Working for MCA is such a strong song, even if it’s not as popular. It’s a banger for sure.
You got that right!
If i had to chose, this would prolly be my favourite song of all time. Just bc of the words and when it found me. I always say this song is like a parent to me. Always hear it before any big milestone in my life - new years, auditions, interviews. 👌🏻🤘🏻
I was a teenager in the 70's and grew up listening to southern rock and lynyrd skynyrd is the greatest band ever
They have soooooooo many great songs - what next?
1) Call me the Breeze - great upbeat check all the boxes song
2) Give Me Three Steps - bar/radio hit type song
3) That Smell - great real life near death lyrics - so cool
PS Andy & Alex since you’re digging Skynryd check out “Flirting with Disaster” by Molly Hatchett!!! And since you also love The Allman Brothers check out Molly Hatchett’s cover of their song “Dreams I’ll Never See” - both soooooooooo good Rock it! 😎🎸🤟
Lynyrd Skynyrd Gimme Three Steps and Tuesday's Gone are also great
Gimme Three Steps is a fun song! Another life lesson as well. lol Have a great day :)

Surprised you hadn't heard that been a while since I been around. Turn the page bob sieger
rjtherocker That’s a great choice love Sieger❤️
Any Seger...please...Feel Like a Number, Roll Me Away, Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Hollywood Nights, etc etc etc...
Bob Seger has never gotten the respect he deserves.
Be sure and listen to the live version of "Turn the Page".
his voice...you just..you hear something deep down..love it
This is by far, my favorite song of all time. It has such a deep meaning to me personally. That being said, if you are looking for a deep cut of some Skynyrd, look no further than my second favorite song, Ain't No Good Life.
One of my favourite Skynyrd songs is 'Gimme Back My Bullets'--it's definitely a banger.
Love!!!
My theme song!!!
Considering what's going on in our society right now "The Needle and The Spoon" would be a great song to do next.
Yep! My thought exactly!
rick, glad i scrolled down and saw your comment. Now i don't have to say it. LOL! Cheers from canada.
this was the music of my high school days! I love watching young people experience classic southern rock. I sing this song to my Grandsons.
I love how you guys, just close your eyes and listen to the music
another band that has songs people hear and never remember who did it but hear bands playing is Grand Funk Railroad with songs like "we're an American band" "The Loco Motion" and I'm your captain/getting closer.
And Grand Funk's "Heartbreaker" and "Inside Looking Out" live versions are amazing!
@@Opx958r Inside out is great I'll have to check out Heartbreaker though. ]:P
Even though they screwed with the lyrics, the first time you see GFR's live 1969 performance of their cover of "Inside Looking Out" you are blown away.
@@757optim One of the top five live rock performances ever caught on video imho.
Allen Collins - Guitar
Gary Rossington- Guitar
Leon Wilkensin -Bass
Arty Pyle- Drums
Dude....that 77 plane crash was deeply tragic!!! Rip Ronnie... Steve. Cassie....🎵🎶🎶
No doubt, but when this song was recorded Bob Burns was the drummer, and Ed King was the 3rd guitarist.
How many guitarists did one band need? I always thought three was a crowd, but it seemed to work for Skynyrd.
Yes it was
Kelli Erin Billy Powell on keyboards too. Without him it doesn’t work. Piano and Organ a big piece of Skynyrd
Hey guys! Nice reaction. For bangers you gotta try WORKIN' FOR M.C.A., CALL ME THE BREEZE, SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, WHAT'S YOUR NAME, BALLAD OF CURTIS LOWE, DON'T ASK ME NO QUESTIONS, NEEDLE AND THE SPOON, ON THE HUNT. All Southern rock BANGERS by the best Southern Rock Band! 🔥🔥🔥
I forget about how beautiful and powerful this song is.
Gimme 3 steps, that smell, Tuesdays gone, the needle and the spoon, ballad of curtis lowe, you can't go wrong with any of them.
Also try blackfoot tune highway song. The guitar solo at the end is awesome.
This is my favorite Skynyrd tune!!!! Great reaction!
An aside - I think you guys should come up with a line of Merch, with your primary item being Andy and Alex bobble-head dolls! I'd buy them!!!!
@MissAstorDancer
I keep telling Alex we need to get some Bobbleheads goin’ Hahaha! 🔥
@@andyandalex Yes, Please!!!
Simple Man, Tuesdays Gone - Both solid 10s and are the theme song to many of us Texas boys.
"Tuesday Gone" even ,better Skynard, ballad!!! Whose with me??
Tuesday's gone is awesome but dude nothing beats plain old SIMPLE MAN.
Poison Whiskey, Whiskey Rock-a-Roller, Swamp Music, Don't Ask Me No Questions, On the Hunt, Ballad of Curtis Loew, Working for MCA, You Got That Right, I Ain't the One...
Gimme Three Steps or That Smell if you want to go more uptempo. Tuesday's Gone for another slow banger.
I ain't the one. First track , this debut album. Hidden gem.
The god's blessed us with GREAT tunes back then... 💙
Another good one boys..... Try .... That smell..... Gimme 3 steps..... Whats your name...... All good southern songs.
This was the first album I ever bought for myself as a kid.
Skynyrd has one of the BEST rhythm section in any band, and their bassist is LEGENDARY.
Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd an amazing bass song.
You boys nailed it, well done. The story of the is producer didn’t want the song as they were starting production. Ronnie Van Zant walked him out of the building and put him in his car and said we will call you when it’s done. Nobody messed with Ronnie, he knew what he wanted and did it his way.
That Smell, Down South Jukin', my personal favorite "Don't Ask Me No Questions" or What's your name
"Saturday Night Special" is their, ultimate, banger.
Period.
No other.
That whole album, every song on it is great ! Their very best !!
This song is so special to me. I have sung this song to my son his whole life (he’s 13). We recently found out that he was autistic and has asked me many times if someone can love him for being autistic. So now when I sing “you’ll find love” and “follow your heart and nothing else”, I have to choke back my tears. Such a beautiful song.
Gimme three steps is a great one also.
Needle and the spoon is another classic.
Literally a 3-chord song. Even I can play it with the arpeggio then the strumming, and I have little talent.
It's the lyrics, and they're clear and the point.
They're spiritual, actually. Don't complicate your mind with "nuance." Don't be intellectual when the bullet heads for the bone. Live honestly.
It's a cry for simplicity, sincerity, and honesty that, when all is said and done, will serve you better than smarts (to be "satisfied", aka "peace of mind").
I Know a Little is a massively underrated deep cut gem off the Street Survivors album. Steve Gaines guitar work is blazingly fast on it. You guys will love it.
