No matter who plays or who sings, they are the frontline soldiers of the Skynyrd Nation.

I DEFINITELY AGREE FANTASTIC WORDS.
Long may their music be played and remembered 🎸🎸🎸
RIP Gary Rossington
Lot's of talent in this band ( they sound great ) !
I've been to so many Lynyrd Skynyrd concerts that was my favorite band we're going to miss you Gary you up there in God's Rose Garden the good Lord only takes the best rest in peace buddy you going to be badly missed
This is so unique!!❤
like Gary says...''the dream will NEVER die''. God bless and thanks for all the music.
I was a mediocre Lynyrd Skynyrd fan as a kid when these came out. I was in 7th grade when the plane went down. Over the years as you get older your music taste changes..the older I get the more I appreciate Lynyrd Skynyrd. I think it's smart to pick up friends and relatives of the band as the original members leave because they feel the responsibility to keep Lynyrd Skynyrds life and philosophy alive.
Amen 🙏 ❤
This is truly a Legacy/Tribute band now. I hope they can have Artimus play sometime. I was just shy of my 16th birthday when I saw them, one and only. RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd!
@@MP-ju4ol They won't have Artimus Pyle in the band, probably not even as a guest. He is a registered sex offender. Regardless of what the truth may be, he was convicted in court. Hopefully Artimus wasn't misjudged and railroaded.
Me, in recent years. Same as you for the age.🇮🇹
@2v_5r I thought about him. You are right. He added to the creativity. But I’m a bit short-sighted
because I think of the five studio snd one live.
His dad was the delta blues do-bro influence. Ronnie according to Ricky was a big Son House fan. Probably an influence of Curtis Loew.
Ricky Medlocke.
Still a great and Credible band........ Wishing them the best... Prayers to the Rossington family....
like Gary says...''the dream will NEVER die''. Rock on Skynyrd. God bless and thanks for all the music.
Ricky played it sweet. Thanks for showing this Bud. It's been a tough week for us Skynyrd fans.
Definitely was heart breaking to hear Gary passed,idk why but it just felt like we lost a part of ourselves with Gary passing, I had the honor and privilege of getting to meet Gary a couple times and this last time when they came to Tuscaloosa, Al and he spoke to my wife and I for nearly 30 minutes like he knew us our whole lives and was such a down to earth kind spoken humble man, never once did he ever act like or give the impression that he was the huge rock star legend that he truly is and never forgetting where he came from and who helped him get to where he is and his freebird brothers, you could just tell by the vibe he gave that he was just a genuine simple man and a good man .sorry for the long comment just thought I'd share my experiences with him, Rest Easy Gary Rossington and God Bless you, I know you got that Les Paul crying on the big beautiful Golden stage up in heaven right beside Ronnie.
@@CoalMiner379 Hey Blake that's great to hear and doesn't surprise me. Take care Bud!
Yeah us long time skynrd fans were and are very fortunate to have heard the musical experience that Gary helped create and as long as there are some of the original members and family members around hopefully the skynrd sound will live on for as long as possible 😊😊😊
Tears falling! My fave song! Fly high Gary, join your brothers and that Heavenly Choir! RIP, youll never be forgotten.
I know that was so hard for Johnny and the rest of the band. ♥️♥️♥️
I was then and STILL are a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan now. And yes I to think Skynyrd should go on touring & recording new music even though they are a " tribute" band now. Just like Gary Rossington said before he passed that he would want the band to carry on. RIP Gary Rossington🙏
My FAVORITE! RIP Mr. Rossington. Thank you for the memories❤️❤️
RIP Gary Rossington😔 I've been a LS fan since 1976 when I heard Free Bird for the first time. If this line up carries on I'll continue to go see them. They're a great band in their own right and I love hearing all the great 70's tunes as well!
R.I.P. Gary. One of THE BEST songs ever. Thanks to Johnny, Rickey, and the rest of the band for keeping it going!
My heart goes out to Johnny and Rickey plus the rest of the lynyrd skynyrd family, I never met Gary rossington but he told the most fun stories about the old days, his spirit was with everyone on stage this night. Rip Gary 😢🙏
What can you say that hasn't already been said. I believe they'll put a show together in heaven and we'll all be there soon in it! May they all rest easy!
I've seen them at least a dozen times,my first time being in 1977 when I was 17 years old.It was 2 months before the plane crash.Love them guys.
I was always a LYNYRD SKYRD fan... I past years I have became a Fan of Johnny and Ricky Being with the band ... Hope they give much more music...
The sound track to my life, and to so many,Lynyrd Skynyrd music,RIP Street Survivers ,Thanks For the Memories
Thanks for the great video! May the Lord Bless this wonderful band! RIP Gary and Godspeed!🙏
1977 a year of loss yet the remaining stayed and carried on their legacy…many times I’ve seen them since and I’ll always be in the Skynyrd Nation ❤️🇺🇸
They are America's Band ; always !
Thought I'd toss this up. A little piece of music history for us. It has become Lynyrd Skynyrd's third best-selling digital song after "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird."
Songwriters : Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington. Lyrically, the song is about a mother talking to her child about life, inspired by the passing of Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother.
Long may they each rest peacefully.
So thankful I was able to see the original Skynyrd 3 times back in the 70’s while in high school. As Gary said this is a tribute band, but great to hear the music being carried on.
Was my first concert back then also. Still have t-shirt I bought there. Will always love them. Prayers to the families of all those lost
¡ Enorme canción! DEP Gary siempre estarás aquí con tu música.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Best band ever. God bless Ronnie Gary and the others who went on never forgotten.
I dedicated this son to my son .long live Lynyrd Skynyrd and the southern rock
Thank you for the video 🤘
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT ON MY FAVORITE SONG BY THE LYNARD SKYNARD BAND.
GARY WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN JUST LIKE THE OTHERS. AS THEY ARE ALL SMILING FROM UP ABOVE FOR JOHNNY AND REST FOR CARRYING ON THE LEGACY OF THE LYNARD SKYNARD BAND THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH WITH LOVE ❤ FOR ALL. STAY SAFE !!!!!
Goog pix, that's exactly what I am trying to portray, I know they are not Rossington, and Ronnie, but the closest thing we will ever get, Ronnie's brother and almost everyone up there, like family, Ricky, for example. Keep it going guys.
Just be a Simple Man! Ronnie said it right!
God bless Lynyrd Skynyrd
Then and now .......
I’m a fan and I have been since this the 70’s but they should now be called The LYNYRD SKYNYRD Tribute Band. All of the Founding Members are gone so just pay Tribute to them and their music.May they all Rest In Peace.👍🎙🙏🙏🙏
I was thinking something more like “the Lynyrd Skynyrd band” just to differentiate them since they are a direct descendant of the original group.
I can't believe the originals are all gone.
I saw them on 7/2/77 - little did I know then....
I am and always will be a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, that will be based on seeing them in 1977 in July. I’m very sad that I did not see the re-Union of surviving members in 1987. But, yippee, it’s on TH-cam. I have read as much as I can and written to members of the crew. I came to a conclusion that I did not want to taint my memory of what to me is the greatest southern rock band EVER. I drew conclusions about a band member and the intentions to just make money, e.g.,”blood oaths, rule of three”. But, as a 61 yr old, combined with some critical thinking, an a heart I have arrived at my truth. The last surviving original member spoke truthfully when he said “it’s all I know how to do”, ‘it’s beyond me, I’m keeping a legacy going’. I apologize to the now dearly departed in saying you did create a “legacy” back when and up to the day you departed. The legacy goes on and I respect it and am grateful Gary did it. Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd! RIP…….Ronnie, Alan, Gary, Leon, Billy, Ed, Steve, Cassie, and Bob. Much love to the Honkettes and of course Artimus. Thank you for the great music. This yankee is truly a southerner.
I'm still kickin myself for not going to the last Lynrnd Skynrd concert in Fla my big sister n Her boyfriend had a 1957 Chevy to go the concert in missed a killa last show from the Great Leaders of the greatest Southern Rock Band in the world Ronnie Van Zant n Cassie Gaines n Steve Gaines and all the rest of the Lynrnd Skynrd band members who were still alive then until Gary's Rossington s passing recently He'll be missed along with all the Lynrnd Skynrd family members who are gone from the original Band prayers for all their family's n friends I met Johnny n Donnie in Hallandale years ago The music 🎶 🎵 💔 lives on Brother's n Sister's n all Rock on Skynrd Nation

Via Sonfacts, Gary Rossington, "We just put down in a song what our mama or grandma had said to us," Rossington told Paul Ingles. "They really wrote it, we just played it."
Miss all of you in Heaven
Tribute band at best,nothing great but good times
Skynyrd died in that planet crash in 77 every real fan knows that.
Non other!!! ❤
❤️
Hey y'all this is Jeff Yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp (exbiker) I'm 72years old and have been and still am a big time lynrd skynrd fan and remember when skynrd and the rest of the Southern Rock explosion took over from the British invasion
I was there and they played perfectly I am so glad that I went It was very emotional for me And everyone else there I have been a fan for 50 years I think it was their last show And they will cancel the rest of the tour
Man, I hope not!!!!
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Enough....stop "Skynyrd".... Let the possibly best band ever rest.......god bless n prayers to the Skynyrd family....... never forgotten
If even Gary is not needed to call this LS, then this can go on forever - the players are interchangeable without end, as long as there is demand for the product.
Anyone know the the hell the dude on the right by the bassist where Gary would be is? I know rickey and sparky but whose this other dude?
Simple Man....❤✌🙏🎚🇼🇸
guitarist taking Gary's place sounds beautiful it's great for all/wow/it helps to go on. and for some reason of temporary no reason it's a bi ch...
I love skin art always
Yes it's very hard for them to play but all of us know that Gary would want the show to go on and we know that Ronnie loved his brothers his family so why not let Donnie in the bad he's VanZant and let Artimus back playing drums granted he wasn't a founding member but he was there in the early days and he was inducted into the Rock roll Hall of Fame with Lynyrd Skynyrd so just think about it there is Ricky and Artimus so they are from back in the beginning let them keep playing all the great awesome music that Ronnie wrote and sang Skynyrd will go down in history look how far they have gone since the plane crash Ronnie would definitely want them to keep going no matter what 💜
I like that they are still playing but with the passing of Rossington, should consider calling themselves something more fitting noting the loss of the last original member. Something simple as “The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band” seems fitting.
I miss hearing the Gibson making pretty behind the word's
Still is sounding very good. I hope the crowded CMAC in Canandaigua is a little more lively than this. Skynyrd and ZZ Top and I hope they got rid of Uncle Kracker because it said he was going to be there but it didn't say it on the radio
How can they still call them self Lynyrd Skynyrd?
I bet Gary Allen ronnie ed steve Bob Leon and billy haven't took one break yet up in heaven. Alot to catch up with after all these years. So sad to think what ronnie and Allen missed out on
They got a song waiting for all of us Lynyrd Skynyrd fans. You know, when we all come home. Bless you all my fellow fans!
I was twenty years old when the plane crashed
So soon?
I don't know how people can tolerate the band in this form. People think that because Johnny fronts the band that it has legitemacy. I think people don't realize that Lynyrd Skynyrd SAVED Johnny's flailing career. The band also PROMOTED Johnny and the Johnny Van Zant Band. How many people do you know that have JVZ cds, records, tapes, that they actually PLAY? What are the great or good JVZ Band songs? I think he has a "greatest hits" cd. I wonder if you EVER, EVER, EVER hear any of those songs played anywhere. This lineup is beyond sad. These guys are merely playing music to pay their bills. I wouldn't even care but they use the name of the band. I guess if they tour with ZZ Top this year that it will be, boo, hoo, they both had a death in the band. But with ZZ Top you still have TWO of the THREE people that made up the band. You have 2/3 rds of the band. And even though you lost the singer of Tush and Legs and other songs, people wanna see the major talent in the band who is Billy Gibbons. People aren't coming out to see Frank Beard fronting ZZ Top without Billy or Dusty. Can Frank Beard tour as ZZ Top? Sounds pretty stupid. But, but, Johnny is a Van Zant, yeah, the least talented of the Van Zant boys. Johnny sings and not so well. And God Bless you if you love the songs Johnny has written. I'm glad somebody thinks Johnny is a great songwriter. But you are in a minority of people.
That said, it's nice to see the pictures of Gary's family.
It's a damn shame they can no longer use the southern cross flag during their performances.
I definitely agree with your statement about the band being able to use their Confiderate flag. It's a part of Southern History, and US History. It's also a blatant disregard for freedom of speech.
You are both right
@@janetbracco2867 so with that logic a German band today can fly a swastika flag and it shouldn’t be a problem.
Huge incomparable comparison in my opinion
@@janetbracco2867 I believe it’s actually the Battle Flag of the Republic.👍
The REAL band is gone....they need to shut it down
I do not mean to be Cruel but, Prince Charming is GONE, It Is Over Man, No Rossington , No Skynyrd, Cousin Figel
I agree
I agree as well, all Originals are gone now, it just ain't Skynyrd
It's all about the $$$$$$
Apparently the Skynyrd concept fan doesn’t want the legacy continued?
By that logic, whatever current members achieve for the Lynyrd Skynyrd corporation, should just stop, because the families affected can live off a legacy without money. This is why the world can look at Americans and remove all doubt of how insanely short sighted we’ve become, with Joe Biden leading the stupidity brigade.
Never cared for Johnny's vocals...just don't cut it
It’s time for this to stop. To continue making money off the legacy of Ronnie, Allen, and Gary is in bad taste. Skynyrd is in no danger of being forgotten.
Was a huge fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd. One of - if the the best LIVE band I've ever seen/heard. Saw them in Memphis with ZZ Top and Marshall Tucker in Memphis around 1975-76 at the Liberty Bowl stadium. Incredible!
In my opinion - this version doesn't really compare. Just my opinion.
They don't have the fire, talent, or originally of the real band but I admire that their carrying the name and music forward! If you want the music close to the original you need to check out artimus Pyle band!
On this song Johnny sounded bad. I just wish he would close his eyes and sing the song without all the hoopla help me out crap. He can sing it so hit the notes and sing it like Ronnie did. No disrespect to Johnny. I love the guy. The best part of this song was Ricky's guitar and the rest of the band.
Not Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Nice copy band now…but not “really “…Lynard….gotta keep making that 💵💵💵💵💵…Gary gone like 2 days….let’s make 💵💵💵…no one up there wrote any of the tunes their playing😂
@Lynyrd skynyrd give me a chance I can play half these songs better than Damon Johnson
LOL. Believe in yourself much? You apparently do not know much about Damon Johnson.
Absolutely no disrespect to Gary Rossington, but Damon Johnson is one helluva musician. I saw him perform with Skynyrd last night and this past summer with Brother Cane.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@timmyjams dude don't hate, if they let him up there without hearing everybody else that could do it better with more feel, they'd let anybody if something happened to Damon Johnson, he not as good as you think. Take ur head out ur ass
@@jhsams1977 that's how yo daddy reacted when you came out the womb
What a farce to not even have a single semi original member left in the band and still milk the name, this is like Friday the 13th part 12, they'll just keep it going so long as people pay to see them, I wouldn't pay $1
I'm sure you'll be missed in the audience??
@@tomswink819 Will be $50 NOT in their pockets - Although they might be reduced to $20, the going rate for most cover bands
The tribute was nice, but it only reinforces the notion that the band is a tribute and maybe it's time to hang it up!!!
This turns my stomach. It’s time to stop.
its just a cover band now ...
