Probably the greatest Southern rock band ever. Thanks Beth!!
Yes they are the gold standard, at least that's MHO!
Probably, LOL, good one
then you should know this isnt skynyrd. this is ronnies knockoff brother who used ronnies death to make himself rich. he literally did the exact opposite of what this song by ronnie was saying to do.
My favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Johnny is a great vocalist, but his brother Ronnie was definitely the best. It's great that you reacted to this song! Thanks and regards, Beth!
My FAVORITE of all time!... saw the original Skynyrd in "74" and have lived a "Simple" life every since. 🤘
I SAW THEM JUNE 16TH 1977 AT NASSAU COLISEUM ON LONG ISLAND...WE BELONG TO A SPECIAL GROUP
Ronnie, Johnny, and Donnie Van Zant. What a amazingly talented trio of singers. Donnie sang for 38 Special.
He tried to but the y couldn't buy a hit until the other guy took over. It was very uncomfortable watching Donnie strum rhythm guitar when he couldn't play.
@@sonnyblack8259 .. Donnie CAN play rhythm guitar.
I love Southern Rock and it's where my heart lives in music. This song gets me every time. RIP Ronnie!!!!
Simple song. Simple message. Simply perfect.
One of the great American rock bands. This is a great tribute to the original guys in the band.
Really like this band but I'm more of a 'pre-crash' fan. That's where you go to look for the true magic that is/was Lynyrd Skynyrd. Also a fan of The Rossington Collins Band with Dale Krantz (Rossington) singing and this would be post crash. "One Good Man" would be an excellent choice. You should check them out as well, since Gary Rossington and Allen Collins were two of the three guitarist of Skynyrd before the crash along with Steve Gaines who also died in the crash. Leon Wilkeson and Billy Powell from Skynyrd were also members of Rossington Collins Band. Check them out please.
Respect to Beth, doing that research on the band.....that is amazing, taking time to learn about the artist you're reacting to. Well done Beth, well done.
I grew up in the same place in Florida that this band is from. I grew up listening to Southern Rock. The members of the band that died in the plane crash were laid to rest about a mile from my home. It was a sad day. RIP
This is music. they sing what they are passionate about not what some corporate suit tells them to sing. ZZ Top is the same. Got to love that individualist spirit.
I was at this concert. It was filmed at Starwood Amphitheater just outside Nashville, TN. The entire concert was unbelievably amazing. Honestly this era I feel is the best for these guys since reforming.
Took me a day after watching your reaction to get my thoughts and feelings sorted out. I was 17 when the plane crash happened and every time I think about what we lost it rips my guts out. Only those alive at the time can really relate to that. So what you have to understand is that in the video you reacted to every word, every note, is a tribute and a sad salute to those we lost in the crash. If you keep that in mind his performance makes a lot of sense. I saw this current lineup about 8 years ago. They sounded great and it was a very emotional nostalgic trip.
Awesome to hear you analyze such songs I remebr so well from my Student days in Galasheils early 70s
Dear Beth, thank you so much for this reaction! 🙏
I've been a huge fan for more than 4 decades and have seen them 4 times, last time on their final tour. So sad that they stopped touring. I'll always love them, along with Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Black Oak Arkansas, CDB, Lizard, Allmann Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band...
You just hit another rabbit hole 😎.
I highly recommend Free Bird( Oakland Coliseum), Sweet Home Alabama, Workin' for MCA and Gimme Three Steps.
What's also sad, is that three of the people onstage here are also now dead. Billy Powell (piano) Ean Evans (bass), and Hughie Thomasson (guitar- he's the one playing the strat) are all gone now, too.
Hughie was also a member of the band The Outlaws.
Billy was replaced by Peter Keys. (formerly with George Clinton); Ean was replaced by Johnnie Colt; and Hughie by Mark "Sparky" Matejka.

Youll have to redo this reaction to Simple Man as Ronnie Van Zant is Heads above shouders better....You're doing this song an injustice by not having the original with Ronnie reacted to!!
That is true, but great effort by Johnny.
HORRIBLE CHOICE! THIS IS NOT SKYNYRD!
American southern rock doesn't get any better than this. (one of the greatest multiple guitar solos in rock history is the last 5 minutes of Free Bird by LS).
Awesome band!! Another great video Beth!
The tall long blonde haired guitarist on the left is Rickey Medlock..Had his own band at one point , Blackfoot.. Rickey early on , played drums for Skynyrd.. His singing and stage movements all done with one lung...OUTSTANDING MUSICIAN!!!!
Gotta be my favourite song . Always hits me right in the spot
Excellent commentary of Lynyrd Skynyrd Beth! You nailed it! I would like to note the guitarist with the hat is Huey Thomasson founder of the Southern rock band The outlaws. My all time favorite. Ask for guitarist, songwriter and vocalist. See hurry sundown by The outlaws. The tall guitarist is Ricky Medlock of the southern rock band Blackfoot who also is a master guitarist, songwriter, and phenomenal vocalist. See highway song by Blackfoot. This is truly an All-Star lineup. I saw the original Skynyrd three times and they were always great. Both the outlaws and Blackfoot though were underrated except in southern rock circles. Thanks, Dave
The guitarist on the left with a hat is Huey. We rather guitars with the hat is original Skynyrd member Gary rossington, also a great talent!
Would have liked to see the original version, but it's ALWAYS a treat to see Ricky Medlocke, someday check out his singing with his band Blackfoot, he was excellent! Ricky is the long gray haired guitarist, he is fantastic, so much energy!
I saw them last summer, one of the last stops on the tour. Ricky is a force of charisma for sure. Ronnie is too. Like Beth said, commanding the audience. On top of their musical talent. Great show!
He's an essential part of Skynyrd, playing drums and even singing on some of the early track. :)
Yes. And Huey Thomas and from The outlaws as well.
Huey Thomasson that is. RIP
Great breakdown Beth!
Could you do one on the original singer Ronnie Van Zandt? Amazing vocalist.
" Freebird" live or "Saturday night special "
tia.
Good to see Hughie up there again!
One of my all time favorite songs
Lynyrd skynyrd was surrounded by so much tragedy, even in the aftermath of the plane crash it's a haunting story to such an iconic band, their music still lives throughout the South, RIP.
I'm a guitar player. I really never noticed the singing much. I certainly loved their 3 guitar attack. A great Southern rock band.
Such a great song!
I love your reacts Beth.
That twang really adds to the southern sound as well.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, uma das melhores bandas.
Great band from my hometown great job Beth
Thank you, Beth! You picked one of their iconic songs to review. I know that among my generation, the original band and replacements will always be seen as the true Skynyrd. Johnny and the guys who came later will always be seen as capable, but Ronnie and the band from the 70s live on in our memories.
I love the way you broke everything down with Johnny's singing, perhaps you might do that with Ronnie some day. Songs like Saturday Night Special or The Ballad of Curtis Lowe might be good picks.
Ok learned a new song. Directly spotified!! Thx!
I love this song so much it's my ringtone
This song & it's theme of a mother's advice to her son is liked by many Americans of different race, creed & color. Shinedown recently covered this & it was a hit for them.
It has always been a rather somber song punctuated by small musical triumphs.
Just like the lesson mamma wanted Ronnie to learn.
Great job Beth!
This song is nothing but epic. And as you mentioned the story around the band and the plane crash is very tragic. Other songs they done is Gimme three steps, that smell, tuesdays gone and gimme back my bullet, besides freebird
Ive been to hundreds of concerts dating back to the mid 70s. Never got to see the original band but by far the best show I ve ever seen was this one at celebrity theater in phx az...very small venue freebird went on over 20 minutes circa 03 if anyone has vid please share
I SAW THEM JUNE 16TH 1977 AT NASSAU COLISEUM ON LONG ISLAND....YOU SHOUD BE DOING RONNIE..THIS IS A SEVERAL NOTCHES DOWN
Gary Rossington is the one doing the accents on the guitar during the second verse( the one you said was haunting). When he does that sound. It gives me chills. It almost sounds like he’s imitating the plane as it went down. Kinda sounds messed up. But that’s how I see it
There is an incredible vocal cover of this song by Shinedown.
Thank you for your analysis,Miss Beth! You are right on! "Simple Man" is a hard song to
sing ,correctly,because of the needed range.I got a chance to see Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special ,live, in the same show in Trenton NJ a few years ago..as good as it gets! I never met Ronnie or have not met Johnny or Donnie,and am prejudiced,but,
for me nobody in rock sings any better
than these 3 gentlemen!
Johnny is great but Ronnie was better I grew on this band they are one of the greatest all time bands
I was stationed at NAS JAX WAS MARRIED AND LIVED BETWEEN GREEN COVE SPRINGS AND MIDDLEBURG FLA. I REMEMBER OCTOBER THE 20 EXTREMELY WELL AND HOW MOST OF US FELT. I HAVE PARTIED AT RONNIE'S GRAVESITE WHILE READY THE LATE GREAT CDBs words of love aimed at all lost members. I know the band touring now is a great band in itself but you don't replace Ronnie, Cassie , Steve,Allen Collins, Ed Burns, Leone Wilkerson, Artimis yes this band means the world to most of us and absolutely couldn't imagine life without LS and their music being carried on by the ones left behind. I know and completely believe Ronnie would had been on board with the continuation as Skynyrd not Rossington Collins as per their intentions and yes Johnny you absolutely made big brother proud. I could tell some stories but those memories will stay with me for ever. I have never been able to thank my ex brother in law the proper way because although it was the surviving members he to went to school with Gary Ronnie,and Allen and was lucky enough to get up close and personal with the surviving members along with Ricky Medlock, And Donnie Vanzant thank you Toby for sharing your childhood and beyond so that as an ole man now I can cherish meating my idols for who they truly were simply the Greatest rock band period drop the mic
Reading the words
But Ricky Medlocke is better than both of them. Just listen to ANY Blackfoot song.
Thank you for saying this. I can’t believe she didn’t react to the original song. Love her insight, but why would you listen to the least influential version of a song unless there is something spectacular about it? Hard skip.
@@TheColdrush22 I was thinking the same I love her reactions but you miss our by not doing the original singer
They have a third brother named Donnie. He is one of the singers and guitarist for 38 Special.
Greatest band of all time, IMO. In one way or another almost anyone can relate to their songs. Even though the line-up has changed, their style and messages have not. Gary Rossington is the only original band member left. Ricky Medlocke has been in and out of the band since the early 70's. You really need to do a deep dive into them, especially the pre-crash era. RIP FREEBIRDS.
The band was never the same after Lynyrd left.
@@githerax5303 Who is "Lynyrd"? LOL
@@githerax5303 Leonard Skinner was their high school gym teacher and was never in the band.
You must do Freebird live at Oakland Coliseum. Epic performance.
th-cam.com/video/fuZyMx2NXZM/w-d-xo.html try this for Freebird :)
Not that I'm partial to either one, I think they both sound great. I remember years ago hearing in an interview with some of the guys, Ronnie once said he thought his brother Johnny had the best singing voice of all 3 of the brothers! Great that he was able to carry on the legacy.
Richie Medlock on lead guitar is an accomplished singer himself. Check him out with Blackfoot. Try Highway song or searching
You should really check out Shinedown's cover of this song! Brett Smith's vocals are just so good.
Shinedown did a fantastic cover of this
Stopped by for Leh - nerd Skehnerd. But suggesting...
"Weak Fantasy" live at Tampere 2015 by Nightwish 🤟😎 🇫🇮 💙
You should listen to the Shinedown version
I am not sure how it works when reactions are suggested. But, I'd REALLY love to se a reaction to the Norwegian band Kalandra. They make real feelgood music and have an absolutely amazing vocalist. I am especially in love with the live version of their song Lullaby. There is a video of that here on TH-cam form their performance att Storås in Norway. Thanks.
❤
Ronnie has a cousin that sounds SO MUCH like Ronnie 💜
Beth, you really need to listen to the original with Ronnie Van Zant singing. He had more soul in his voice than Johnny does.
Can you please listen to Tommy Shaw with the Cleveland Youth Orchestra performing Blue Collar Man. Its amazing!
from the first riff i thought it's Always Somewhere (i heard it from Scorpions, but i know that's not their original song) xD
React to The wife, the kids, and the white picket fence by Fair to Midland plz
Rickey Medlocke dosent get half the credit that he should.
Rickey Medlocke (born February 17, 1950) is an American musician, best known as the frontman/guitarist for the Southern rock band Blackfoot and a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. During his first stint with Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1971 to 1972, he played drums and sang lead on a few songs that would initially be released on 1978's "First and Last". Medlocke would rejoin Blackfoot in 1972 and later returned to Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1996 as a guitarist with whom he continues to tour and record today.
There is a third brother, Donnie. Leader and singer for .38 Special
I have one secret in my life and all of y'all HAD to run and tell Beth Roars.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Could you react to Grahm Nash’s “Simple Man”? Same title, different tune, both iconic.
Please react to Blackberry smoke.
Please react to Lynyrd Skynyrd song Free Bird. Please do the Live Version in Oakland.
Why i don't see this reaction before ?
I'm sure Beth doesn't know the catelog of Skynyrd, but she should do the one's with Ronnie Van Zant first (like this one)...he was so amazing (RIP), however Johnny did a good job picking up for his brother. Johnny had some good solo stuff before joining Skynyrd...."Brickyard Road" is a great song, she should check that out as well.
One of my very favorite performances. I've been listening to this song for over 40 years. It played a small part in how i raised my son; I was really proud the day he learned this song on guitar. Only Gary and Leslie Hawkins left.
I prefer the shinedown version of simple Man, but this one's great too
And all this time I thaught shinedown made the original version of this song :p
hey Beth can you pls check out Paolo Nutini performs "No Other Way" live at the Leon Loft 👍
You must listen to Ben Abraham He is just fantastic
Please react to Blue October - Hate Me (10th Anniversary) [Live]. Thanks Beth.
Sammy, Dean will wait for you in Heaven!
Should've used a clip of Ronnie singing not Johnny. Johnny is great but Ronnie's vocals are legendary and makes him Southern Rock Royalty.
One of the best songs ever written, but it should be the pre-planecrash band, Ronnie was better and Steve Gaines (guitar) was pure magic.
Southern Rock is one of the most interesting music genre out there, it's so incredibly wide, always something for everyone and always heartfelt and genuine. And as they say "it's a family affair", pretty much all Southern Rock bands have something that ties them to each other.
Once you reach Muscle Shoals Studio in your research, then you'll see what people like Duane Allman did not only for American music but for the music over here in Europe.
Thank you for this video! 👍
react to Bon Iver - I Can't Make You Love Me
So now you have to cover Donnie Van Zandt and 38 Special. Baby brother kicked some serious southern rock himself; Hold On Loosely, Back Where You Belong, Rockin' Into the Night, and If i'd Been The One are all monster hits
Rebel to Rebel would be a good choice to hear Donnie also Wild Eyed Southern Boys as most of 38 Specials hits of the 80's had Don Barns on vocals
@chet stevens: those hits you mention are sung by Don Barnes, not Donnie Van Zant. But Donnie sung a bunch of awesome songs, too. And Donnie is not the baby brother (that's Johnny), he is the middle brother.
@@spike3082 ... or "Homeless guitar", or "You're the captain".. ;-)
@@Nocturnbandofficial wild eyed southern Boys is sung by both Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant and rebel to rebel was sung by Donnie Van Zant as it was his tribute to his brother
@@spike3082 ... you are right obviously, no news to me though ;-) And what do you think about those other two songs I suggested? ;-)
My favorite version of this song is from Shinedown. I would love to see your reaction to them.

Wasn't only Ronnie that died, Steve Gaines (deeemed by Ronny has the most talented and the future of the band) also died, also 2 backups and several other technicians. But that killed the band straight away. Ronnie and Steve were tremendously talented (Ronnie wasnt a great singer by any means but he was a general in a band you just dont see today, think they were over 30 at one point) and Steve was probably one of the best rhytmic players when he died (only 27). To me it was an "The day music died" event all over again, becoming the decade music died when Stevie Ray died 8 years later....Johnny is ok, and they still have Gary but Gary (think he was the only BIG part of the band that survived the plane crash, might be wrong but im 90% sure) was always the quiet part and Johnny doesn't have near the charisma Ronnie . RIP PS They had Artymusas well if I remember correctly, from the originals
Artimus survived the plane crash but wasn't the original drummer the late Bob Burns was and Ronnie was only 29 when the crash happened and the irony is during an interview Ronnie actually said he wouldn't live to see 30
Too bad for this first choice. You really should see and hear them in their prime.
Great song! You must do Shinedowns cover of it! I must say I like that one better. Studio or live kansas city acoustic. Simply amazing voice!
I think Shinedowns’ singer is married to Ronnie Van Zandt’s daughter?
@@wtglb it was the former guitarrist whom was married to his daughter. I think.
@@stefansveman4658 ah ok, thank you!
l liked ronnie's voice and l like johnny's voice but l admit l like brent smith of shinedown's voice on this song best
Rossington-Medlocke band plays Lynyrd Skynyrd. They have finally descended to the Holiday Inn lounge band the used to laugh about.
Same with Henry Paul & his Notlaws. He has been since Hughie died.
Saw Outlaws open for Molly Hatchet in 79.Great 3 guitar attack. Also saw Henry Paul open for VanHalen and the Stones in Orlando both shows.
Hi, Simple Man was an anthem for many of the original band generation. Pre-crash or post-crash the song spoke to who many of us feel we should be. The song is almost a sermon to live up to what you should be. The words and the vocals are important, but the leads and rhythm section drive the soul. Good choice.
That's not Skynyrd. Those are The Replacements.
Saw the original Lynyrd Skynyrd. That is the only Skynyrd for me.
This isn’t Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is Gary Rossington and a bunch of replacements, when the real truth is that there can be no replacement for the incredible talents of Lynyrd Skynyrd at the peak of their success in the mid 70’s. Johnny can sing, but he’s no Ronnie, and Skynyrd’s guitar army was unstoppable. RIP Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Ed, Allen, Leon, Bob, Billy, Larry, and JoJo. ❤️
✌🏼😎
In all fairness, Ricky was one of the original members and Billy as well.
And Hughie from The Outlaws was promoted by Skynyrd and shared stage with them on occasions. :)
This (and MANY of Lynyrd Skynyrd's songs) were played/covered by my old band and I during high-school in the 80's and through the 90's. But, unfortunately we didn't record things much back then being the poor hill-billies we were.
I never sang at all back in those days. I wasn't even often the "lead" guitarist! (Mostly relegated to rhythm, aka "bitch" guitar!)
However, a few months ago I did sing and play a version of "Simple Man" on my guitalele.
This song is a "classic"! I used to try and hide my past because even then, I disliked the "red-neck" aspects of the culture in which I was raised. (I personally enjoy being thought of as a "hill-billy" instead of a "red-neck" or "white-trash". All those terms have been used put down folk from my neck of the woods.) Word definitions change depending on when, where, and how they are being used. I won't cry as much if you call me a "hill-billy". PLEASE understand that when I see the so-called "confederate flag" being flown, I see a hate-filled symbol that reminds me of the swastika that Nazi's used. (I used to only think it was a dumb tribute to southern "heritage" that many of the folk I grew-up with espoused. I didn't mind Dukes of Hazard or even Lynyrd Skynyrd displaying it back then!) But, the subtle meaning underneath has grown.
The original Lynyrd Skynyrd was mostly made-up of blues/rock musicians from GA and FL. (It will peev Trump-supporters to learn that most of them were actually "hippies" who were rejecting their parents and grandparents ways of thinking!)
I know for a fact MY band(s) a scant generation later from here in the "south" of the USA emulated them for more progressive reasons!
Lynyrd Skynyrd were (mostly) NOT "red-neck"!
Oh yeah! My recent version of "Simple Man":
th-cam.com/video/JQ5PY9z15U0/w-d-xo.html
[Sorry for the "Ted-talk" Beth!]
Ronnie and Johnny were BOTH great in MY book! (I wrote the above diatribe not even considering "which" brother you were going to be talking about!)
I can tell the two of them apart vocally, but ONLY because I have covered those songs so many times over the past 40 years! (I bet most folk would have a hard time distinguishing the voices of these two brothers!)
Johnny seems a little "sharp" on the notes...
Ron always seemed a little "flat" on the notes...
Another brother of this band was Donnie! (of 38 Special!)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus < == worth a bit of thought if you like Lynyrd Skynyrd over the years from the start until now!
They were redneck. They weren't progressive either
Great song. Great band.
Beth, you have reacted to SwanSong by Lovesbites. You were speechless!
The link is to Edge of the World that showcases more of Asmi’s vocals; and will also leave you speechless!
th-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you could try an old recording from them with Ronny, because he had just that little extra compared to his brother.
Great recording fom '74: th-cam.com/video/JzkHH3se7eQ/w-d-xo.html
So, not to be a jerk about it, but their original lead singer was Ronnie Van Zant, there was a plan crash that killed him and a few others, later his youngest brother Johnny Van Zant, who looks and sounds a lot like him, took over as lead singer, and they had a brother Donnie Van Zant that was the lead singer of the band 38 special. I'm not actually sure, but from their age in this video, I think that's Johnny
Edit - Oh, I jumped the gun, you already know. Nevermind
This video is from the Lyve from Nashville TN from the Viscious Cycle tour in 2005 shortly after Leon Wilkeson passed
this isnt Lynyrd Skynyrd- this is van zant money milkers
The music you loved in your youth sounds different as you get older. One has compromised their values and ideals. The music isn’t as truthful anymore. We have become delusional to some degree
If you think this is good you should hear his brother.
