I do not mean to infringe on any copyrights, just to preserve what I once thought was lost media.
I saw Johnny Van Zant Band in 1979 warming up for Molly Hatchet in Johnstown PA. Great concert. I've seen Johnny 4 times with Skynyrd. Why all the hate about them, I did not get to see the the originals, so for me seeing Gary, Leon, Billy and Ricky with Johnny was a thrill of a lifetime.
The hate towards Johnny is probably. misdirected grief what the haters fail to realize or acknowledge is the fact that Johnny would gladly step down to get his brother back also he originally turned down the gig to front Skynyrd his and Ronnie's daddy convinced him to do it to honor Ronnie is all Johnny intended to do and he refused to sing Freebird for a while and even now sometimes he only does part of the song and a recording of Ronnie finishes I believe also Ronnie's hat on the microphone as the song plays out is a beautiful tribute
if u had seen sknynrd u would no. no hate from me.
Same here
No one and I mean no one can replace Ronnie and johnny knows that. I appreciate the younger brother keeping the music going. I also like his Christian songs he and brother Donnie are doing now. Really powerful.
Anyone that says Johnny can't sing is either deaf jealous or stupid it is a great tragedy his brother died and especially the way he did but Johnny loves his older brother Brickyard Road is a beautiful yet heartbreaking song you can feel his pain he was just a teenager when Ronnie was killed
Like Johnny more as a solo artist in the early 80's. I still enjoy playing those albums, too.
ABSOLUTE RIGHT
always loved this song. The rhythm guitar is great and the woman in the witness box is a solid smokeshow.
Damn skippy!!
You, her, her udnerdeveloped chin, and this entire video is boomer crimge
Cool ,. Old school. I'm sure Ronnie is so proud of his little brothers.
Lacy Van Zant as the Judge and looks like Allen Collins playing the Explorer
That is Eric Lundgren playing guitar. He does look and sound like Allen Collins
@@tzimmer38 Thank you Tom. 😎
Erik on guitar,Robbie on les paul
Robbie looks kinda like Steve Holland from Molly Hatchet.
Robbie is playing a Hamer?
I forgot how hot Johnny was! I love Lacy (Ronnie's, Donnie's, Johnny's dad) as the judge! Love the Van Zants
Two of my ex gfs thought he was hot. ha I would say, Ok, I heard ya the first time, enough already haha
i loved johnnys solo stuff!!!
All over his solo albums kicked ass.
That’s Steve Perry singing back up vocals. The whole Round 2 album kicks. Every song is a gem. Thank you so much for posting this. Much appreciated.😊
Where is Steve Perry in the video?
I didn't know that thank you
@@DannyRusso-t9c You’re welcome 🤘😎🤙
@@marthacarlson3686 He doesn't appear, only on the record.
Thank God you're using your talent for Jesus....
Thanks for Posting this!
YES!!!!! I've been trying to find this video for years. everybody thought I was lying that I saw this on MTV.
I bought both of his albums, soon as they came out, No more dirt deals and Round two were great.
Dayum , had forgotten about this video, brings back memories of the Agora Ballroom, Atlanta, late 70s. Johnny and his band kicked ass
JVZ's attempt at the Glam Rock genre. My favorite music style, wish he'd succeeded.
I liked this in the 80s and its still the bomb, great tone, nasty rhythm guitar!!!!
Wow,!I’ve never seen this. I love it, so incredible. This is going strait to the playlist and I’m rewinding it so I can watch it again. Damn , johnnny’s looking fine as hell and the band is playing fine as hell !!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!!!! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
The judge looks like Ronnie that had grew older, amazing. Looks almost just like him. God bless Lacy and all the boys that have passed on.
still have this cassette somewhere...I remember blasting this in my Chevelle. Time to revisit this one!
I had the album Brickyard Road I wore it out 😊
Remember seeing Johnny and his band in Jax, Fla. It was hard trying to compete with his two brothers and their bands! Great times in the late ‘70’s in Jacksonville!!!
Pretty cool court room and music 👍
Best southern rock music by the Van Zandt
Not sure how I missed out on this song. I would say it’s very good and Ronnie should approve
I watched a ton of MTV in the early years. I dont remember johnnie till i saw him in '87 doing the comeback tour.
I remember when this song was getting airplay. Around 80 or 81 I believe. Fuzzy memory
Late 1970s/early 80s rock and roll girls like this were the hottest ever .. Great song, Johnny and the band are killer
Saw him open for the outlaws in myrtle Beach SC in late 1980 absolutely blew everyone a way and Doc holiday was first act can still see and her it after 45 years rock on people
Yes indeed!
Johnny had fallen on hard times before that skynyrd singing gig.
According to gene Odom.
Johnny had tons of talent.
Yeah, sadly all of his great albums never caught on.
WOW, I've never heard this song before.
Allen chill'in on rhythm guitar.
Even looked like Lacey VZ as the judge?
Johnny sounds real good 👍
Never saw this wow cool
Thanks for posting this! I vaguely remember this and looks like his old man as the judge. I do remember the video, Its you and I`m a fighter that got quite a bit of video play time.
He had a great band with them boys dawn good pickers
Johnnys best song i saw him in 1980s reseda ca
I saw this band at Orlando speed world before lawyers ruined our world anyone could drag race their car or bike I had raced my 900 ss. Honda 82 girls mud wrestling hundreds of kegs of beer 84 I think , my brother in law won the wheelie contest Mike Lyons WDIZ handed the troph to himit’s funny when people talk crap about Johnny his music catalog kicks ass and many new songs they wrote after the plane crash got 0 airplay and are great great tunes
My dad owned a mobile home a few streets away. Imagine that, a trailer in Bithlo in the mid 70’s. One of my friends used to run his Ford Galaxie 500 on the oval track. That place was fun. All of the VZ brothers had great bands.
I loved him SOLO!!!!!!
His band did have great guitarists.
Great video
Wow, way back machine, Johnny opened for Molly Hatchet at the first concert I ever saw... I wonder what happened to my copy of Round Two🤔
YYYEEESSS. WE KNOW WHOS RITE. JOHNNY VAN ZANT OH YA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is that Johnny's dad playing the judge?
Yep thats ole Lacy
@@lsmith869 I thought so
It's his mom
It's actually Jack Black
The kid's good. Band's killer!
💥 Go Johnny Go💥
I also watched a ton of MTV back in the day and I do not remember this song or The Johnny Van Zandt Band
This is where Johnny Van Zant should have stayed. That was a good band.
It was the right Career move! Johnny's Band Rocked No Doubt! But Lynynd Skynyrd was a Brand💲Around the 🌍
Is that Lacy as the judge? Is that Steve Holland on guitar?
That's Erik Lundgren and Robbie Gay on guitar. The 1st time I saw these guys, I thought the 1st guy soloing was Allen Collins from Lynyrd Skynyrd. This video was 9 years before he died.
Grande Van Zant! By rockstaff
Jam from way back woooo
Wow!😂. I am a MASSIVE Skynyrd fan and I’m not hating, but the distance between Johnny and Ronnie talent wise is measured in MILES. Come to think of it, that goes true for Donnie as well. Ronnie could walk across the stage and command attention without speaking a single word. Johnny would have been SO much better singing country. He’s just not tough enough for rock. Pop fans didn’t like his boring hookless songs and rock fans didn’t like his soft and weak lyrics. Most Skynyrd fans like country and there is very little competition compared to pop/rock.
This song was very popular where I lived. My band did it as a cover in the early '80s. Everyone loved it when they heard us playing it. Johnny was every bit as good as Ronnie in his own way. Apples and oranges. You're just a biased Ronnie fan.
@@adamwarlock3530 That’s honestly not true at all. I was rooting for Johnny harder than most. Do you honestly think he is as good as Ronnie was? Watch Johnny in his video for Im a fighter. Watch him on the Last Rebel tour and on the 87 reunion. Also watch him from the Lynyrd Skynyrd 91 tour. His voice is usable, but it’s just karaoke level. He says “what do you say people” at least 50 times per show or more and he says it right in the middle of the songs. Awful stage presence. I do like him as a person, but he’s not a good Lynyrd Skynyrd front man. He dances like that Debbie Gibson pop singer chick from the 80’s for crying out loud. 😂
whose the first lead guitarist in this song? Almost looks like Allen Collins but I'm sure it's not.
Erik Lundgren
Eric
Johnny had the best voice of the 3 brothers. He was 3 years too late. The music biz/record execs put the knife through the heart of southern rock by this time. It was in its last death gasps.
Love this . Thought he did a great job with Skynyrd to. Still love to crank the 1991 album.
The judge is Lacy Vanzant
So handsome ❣️
Wow. I havent watched this in years. MTV didnt play this video that much.
This guy looks like Dan Marino 1:41 :D Steve Perry from Journey sings backup on this BTW.
I likely know y'all, I used to Party at Johnny's mom's barn way before that plane crash 1977
GOOOOOOODTUNE
Back in the days when a musician could wear a Hawaiin shirt and get away with it!
Is that Allen Collins on guitar, I swear it has to be. 😮
Erik Lundgren
Erik Lundgren is a monster
Monster southern guetsrest 👍🤠
i actually thought it was Allen Collins until i went to the comments, he looked just like him with the outfit and the hair(just half the length)
What's great about music videos like this is there is the sexiness without the sleaziness, musicians don't have to degrade women and children to get attention for their music videos, don't have to be pornographic about their comments in reference to women when singing about passion. This video does allude sexiness because there's intelligence and questioning what should be questioned. Oh yeah, and the women in this video was wearing real clothes that were considered clothes.
Is the judge johnnys dad?
I've never heard this. I really liked it. Rhythm & bass kicks "who's right or wrong". Had me singing at the end. I'm gonna try to find the entire album. Way to go Johnnie. I'm wondering who else was in the band? Edit: I still can't type Johnnie as Johnny. Yes, it's my fault & I know it.
Is that the Van Zant Father acting as judge? Sure looks like him....
Yes, that is the elder Mr. Van Zant.
It was the Right Career Move! Picking up his Brother's Torch 🎤 For L.Skyn. Johnny's band had Peaked. He Proved himself Worthy of the Position! 💪🏻Besides the Big💲was with Lynyrd Skynyrd 🌎 Brand!
Johnny should do His song 🎶 "Who's Right or Wrong" with Skynyrd Now? 💪🏻
Go Eric 🤠
Yes I think it is
Yes it is Lacey Van Zant
Song is from the album no more dirty deals released in 1980
@@peterhughes7180 no, it's from their album "Round Two" which released in 1981
Has anyone noticed the guitar player playing the Explorer ? A very good likeness of Allen Larkin Collins with the style of the man himself ?
It's not Allen. It's Eric Lundgren. Very good player in JVZ's band.
i was like wow Allen Collins look different with shorter hair. then I went to the comment only to realise that it wasn't even him..
Judge Lacy VZ
I think he's right
Jesus is Always Right, and all of us before coming to a Saving Knowledge of Jesus Christ were Wrong... actually Dead in Sin. Jesus Came To Give Us His Life to become the Righteousness of God. Amen.
I don't think I have ever seen this video.
Life has its way with people. It's just how it is. I try to not see the little things and nitpick them, but that's mostly cause I'm so glad I found this video after searching through hours of MTV footage. Though I can say I was a little underwhelmed with the vid. It is what it is.
Dude those are HAMER guitars not Gibis, so the dude is playing HAMER Explorer, another one is playing also HAMER and think it's studio model a double cut guitar. Now i'm from the East Europe, damn i event went in a war against those Biden's and Cilnton's supporters who attacked my country and now i have to explain an American what sort of guitars those people play? That it ain't the same guitar brand what Collins have played? Damn...i will come to US and became the real southern dude.
What is wrong wit the US today? Why you think that they are milking L.S., i mean it was a cearten era and a lot of people dressed like that, to me they don't look 100% like Lynyrd Skynyrd nor they sound like them. it's more hard rock even a HM drive, those guitar parts are great. I have to admit that player is great, at least i like that style of playing.
@@bobibobik5903 I don't know the first thing about guitars. The guy playing guitar just resembled Allen Collins a bit. Anyway, Johnny's career as a solo artist was failing. I think the last JVZ record was that Geffen record and it was very bad. JVZ Band has never, ever been able to sell records. And the reason Rickey Medlocke is not in Blackfoot is they also faded away. They couldn't sell records or make music that brought people to a concert. So for Johnny, joining a band which had GREAT SONGS and some original members was the best thing to ever happen to him. Johnny's best talent has always been his voice. I thought he sounded really good for several years up into the mid 90's. The dude can't sing now. It happens to most singers. Every original member in the band is dead. Rickey was in the band in 71 and was on the Complete Muscle Shoals album. The band never SOLD that album. It wasn't released in the USA until about 1991, or around the time of the Skynyrd box set. Legend, the album, came out in 1987 as the Reunion Tour started. The first album without Ronnie came out in 1991 as Skynyrd 91. Anyway, I live in Jacksonville, Florida. You know guitars, I know this band. Just look at my channel. Click on my cartoon icon and go to my freaking channel. I know the Skynyrd band. I am NOT a musician though.
@@jaxflfreebird All good thank you for the extra info. No need to be a guitarted like me to enjoy in music, to be honest less then 1% of guitar players would knew which guitars were used in the video especially Hamer is a bit forgotten brand. That is a bit sad since in my humble opinion Hamer US was the best guitar brand that U.S. had ...
Hey that is uber cool that you like that city, yes i checked the channel but even if i didn't i believe you that you know more about that bend then usual fans do, now i see it is difrent that you know a lot. For sure much more then i do.
Sure in this video that player looks like Collins a lot, reason why i suspected that it is an another person was due to a difrent style of playing, as i told at lest in this song it sounds more heavy.
Music biz is an ugly thing, especially in last few decades. For me personally is not important did someone sell albums or not, but it is important for the band and the record company and even for listeners to find out about the band.
Nowadays i like older music from late 60's 70''s and 80's and from newer one i usually pick musicians who don't care to much about making a commercially successful music. i like that when they sounds good, that they can play well etc.
i do like blues and this so called southern rock - i think that is the name for the sound of L.S. kind of music?
@@jaxflfreebird BTW wish you all the best as well as to a cat on the picture on your YTC, since i have cat and l i feed some cats here were i live at the moment.
In Europe they brainwash people how USA south ain't OK that ''democratic north'' is better, but i've found out that south is by far more democratic and people are far far more OK and open-minded (at least that is my impression).
So i hope things are doing OK there and i wish all the best to all citizens of Jacksonville to.
friendly regards from e. Europe.
The dude looks just like his brother
Johnny Van Zant Rocks
he just didn't have the voice control of his brother?.. sorry?. but this suck's!!!
KIND OF SILLY SORRY
I agree but it was the 80's!
