“Bullets” were the symbols next to hot songs rising up the Billboard sales charts back in the day
Yeh that's what it meant to the singer, to everybody in the South it means actual real bullets
Huh?
@@dianesaienni5466 "18 With a Bullet", which is an actual song.. check it out..
Crime stops when the hammer drops.
True!! Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant was anti handguns. An interview with Rossinton confirmed that bullets were indeed referring to Billboard's music charting.
Leon Wilkeson on the Bass!
Soooo under appreciated! One of my favorite Bass players of all time!
As popular as skynyrd is, imo they are still underrated as far as one of the best ever.
They are the best band to ever step on a stage lynyrd skynyrd is not just music it a way of life
Lynyrd Skynyrd "On The Hunt"...Nuff Said.
I see that and raise you"Ain't No Good Life" 😬
Lynyrd Skynyrd is just legendary, so many iconic songs. I just love Southern rock. These guys and The Allman Brothers...just amazing.
There were so many great southern rockers. How bout Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker Band, ZZ Top, Dixie Dregs.....
I feel you on the “disgusting faces” type of music lol. The best type of music!!🔥 This song never gets old. ‘Don’t Ask Me No Questions’ is another great one.
On The Hunt next! You know what it’s about Biz 🤨
When we got home from school, we'd spend an hour blasting Skynard. On vinyl, of course.
This song brought Skynyrd to national attention.
Freebird era stuff was popular but mainly just in the South. When this song came out people in New York and everywhere loved it.
Biz, there's no bad Skynyrd songs. You should check out some lesser known songs. Mr Banker is phenomenal! Working for MCA, All I Can Do is Write About it, Curtis Lowe, even the newer stuff like Red, White and Blue. They're iconic for a reason. Dive deep my friend. It's a helluva rabbit hole to get lost in. Keep it up Biz, we appreciate you. Greetings from South Carolina 😃
100% All 🧨
At 58 years old, my first Lynyrd Skynyrd show (23/sept 2023 - Jaguariúna - São Paulo - Brazil) and I do not have words to describe those guys. They are simply the best!!! I will Never forget.
Lynyrd Skynyrd are among one of the finest handcrafted musicians ever. They are the ones who brought southern rock to Germany after the Allman Brothers and brought it to the fore even more up-to-date. Unfortunately, I've only seen them live once, but that was a fucking great party in Hamburg (Germany) at the "Stadtpark". What an energy and joy they brought to the stage - it was just impressive. Thanks for sharing this awesome song and the cool memories of the concert. Best wishes @all from Germany
"Tell all those pencil pushers they better get out of my way"!!! Love that line.
Cry For The Bad Man is a total banger by Skynyrd, no one has ever done a reaction to it, be the trendsetter and do it.
He's a link till Biz reacts to it
th-cam.com/video/yMANJG7jOaM/w-d-xo.html
I second that. Love that song.
Yes!
The great Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple, Kansaa) sat in with them on this song on a live album and raved about what great players they were. He said "If you can't jam with that rhythm section, you don't have a pulse." More Southern Rock you say? Ooh, start with the incredible song Dancing Madly Backwards by Captain Beyond.
Yeah, we in the South are pretty laid back, but don't mess with us too much. You never know where the switch to change is.
Thank you kindly for another reaction to 'Skynyrd.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Lives On!
Charlie Daniel’s Band, “Trudy”, “Legend of Wooly Swamp”, “Souths Gonna Do It Again”, “In America”, “Long Haired Country Boy”, “Uneasy Rider”
Lived in Jacksonville Beach during this era. Jacksonville was Skynyrd's hometown..& they saturated the plsce. It was great.
hard work is how ya get it done, never expected anyone to hand it to me! Skynyrd was always at the top of the game with their musicians but
Ronnie just added the flavour and attitude with his lyrics.
I always liked this song and was surprised it did not get more radio time. Saw them in 76.
As someone else mentioned earlier, the bullets he's talking about here aren't actual gun ammo they're the marks that the music charts (Billboard, Cashbox, etc) used to put next to songs that were "hot" and getting a lot of airplay for the week. Radio DJs would say things like "Here's a new song from Lynyrd Skynyrd coming in on the charts this week at number 22 with a bullet!".
He was frustrated with the way the politics (and straight up bribery) of the music business influenced which artists got "bullets" each week, and he felt Lynyrd Skynyrd was getting screwed by the process and their songs weren't getting the attention they deserved. So, he was telling the industry in this song- "Quit f-ing us around, and put the bullets next to our songs on the chart that we've earned!".
" I drink enough whiskey to float a battleship around".. best line in the song
The bullets are the numbers on the charts, this song is about the music industry
Lynryrd Skynyrd, Whiskey Rocka Roller"

I honestly think you should consider Lynyrd Skynyrd for your next discography deep dive. Only 5 albums, all great!!
Definitely!! There's more than 5 albums, but the original 5 with the original lineup needs the coverage most since they're absolutely awesome.
@@LeveyHere Sorry, I meant only 5 relevant* albums lol.
@@nicolepisa26 Oh no you're good, and I definitely agree.
@@LeveyHere Them five albums had many different players . Ronnie Van Zant ,Bob Burns, Artimus Pyle, Leon Wilkson Ed King, Steve Gaines, . Allen Collins, Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, And yes I left out Ricky Medlocke because in an interview he stated how all of Allen parts were so easy F Him.
@@nicolepisa26 no no, there's 6, then there's great compilations, also, there's LEGEND, FIRST AND LAST, and the box set.
I love Lynyrd Skynyrd. You feel that music in your soul! Love Southern Rock!
the whole album words to live by!!!!!
They got you twice on that song
2 great Blues songs by Skynyrd: "Mr. Banker" The tune is about a poor guy pleading with a banker for a loan, so he can have enough money to bury his father. The other is "Four Walls of Raiford" about a prisoner who is serving time for a crime he did not commit, and he is reaching his breaking point.
Love southern rock❤️
Lynyrd Skynyrd "I Need You" and "Cry for the Bad Man" are next!!
Billy Powell’s hitting it on that organ, too. I get the stupid, ugly faces. ❤️🎶❤️🎶
Leon Wilkeson on the bass guitar. I personally think he was one of the greatest bass players in rock. This isn't about the kind of bullets you put in a gun, it's about the bullets on their chart listing. They know toriously had a contentious relationship with their record label MCA, they wrote a song specifically about that, but this is basically saying that because they weren't playing by the rules of what MCA wanted, they were getting screwed and they were saying we want our chart listings back. But regardless, it's such a heavy rocking song and it's obviously an angry song, laugh.
Man Biz you have GOT to check out the live version of "Freebird" in Oakland by them, even if you've done Freebird already the live version is INCREDIBLE...
@Tim Lenard … he did do that one. I think it may have been his first or 2nd Skynyrd song … probably his first, idk, but he has done several Skynyrd songs 😉
Bro, I'm here in Jax where Skynyrd started. I visit the Graves regularly. I can send you some historical pics. Keep doing what you're doing for the best band ever.
This is in my top Skynyrd tunes coz I love that hard driving sound!!
“Was I right or wrong” think you’d dig that Skynyrd tune.
There really is no better way for me to sloth out than to roll a few & put a Skynyrd playlist on. Then just phasing out & enjoying the emotional ride that follows. I'd highly recommend both, The ballad of Curtis Lowe. As well as that I'd recommend, Mr Banker. Both will have the heart strings pulled & are powerful songs.
Another great one, Big Biz. Hope yourself & everyone reading this has a splendid week. Much love to all from here in the UK 🤘😁
Here’s an off the beatin’ track legit blues heater called Ain’t No Good Life.
🎸💯 Lynyrd Skynyrd is ALWAYS 🔥‼
Southern Rock is such a badass vibe‼
Great choice for a reaction Biz‼☮ ❤ 🎶
Dude, you are so good at this. Keep up the great work.
Thank you
Jacksonville Florida at it's finest.....RIP Gary Rossington
I read where ronnie wrote it as a metaphor for getting his shit together
Cant agree more. I call that the "i need a shower after hearing it" type beat. So dirty
Never met a Lynyrd Skynyrd song I didn't like
" Double Trouble "
" Working For MCA "
" You Got That Right " Ronnie shares vocals with Steve Gaines on this one 🤘✌♥️
Skynyrd is southern rock at its best.
Skynryd is a top 5 rock band for me. Epic.
Gotta do I need you! Ronnie did his voice cut in 1 pass at 2am in the morning. Pitch black studio. Makes it so much better! Plus rossingtons slide guitar on it is masterful
Hey Biz, great reaction. This was always one of my favorite Skynyrd songs. Love those guitar riffs
You have enough suggestions so I will just say that I will tune in for any Skynyrd song!! Great reaction!🎸💖🎸
Great reaction,
The reference to making faces,, I find that very interesting, as a(lousy)guitar player,and an animal behavioral student,i can't deny this face making, is part of the blues.
Blind guys,are probably the best.
The caliber of the musicians in this band is way above average , then add in how tight they are , 3 guitars blended perfectly , this band was phenomenal , lost way to soon , certainly one of the vary best American bands ever .
I'm so happy you get it.
Keep it up.
" Give me back my bullets " to me was always....... Not going to take no more your Bull Sh**, the sh** going to hit the fan.
Skynyrd is definitely 1 of my top 3. Great reaction man
Great reaction Biz!
They quit playing this song back in the day because fans would throw live ammo at the stage
I just love your “Skynyrd” face!!!! 😜 You have done so many I can’t even think of one to request at this point!!! But there are more than enough to choose from!!!!
And yes, PLEASE don’t forget about The Charlie Daniels Band … The Legend of Wooley Swamp … ahem 😉😉😉🤣
Thank you for this one!!!! I hope you have a GREAT weekend fam!!!
💞
Charlie daniels band came to mind also.. Thanks Sheila!!!😁
....Having a bullet on the Music Charts meant a song was rising ..
Wait till u hear SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL!!!!
He did that one 😉
BizMatik bringing the heat 🔥3 to put on yur list. Was I Right Or Wrong , I Never Dreamed and I Need You...😎
Legends !!!
If you haven't, you should check out their song "I Need You". I hope everyone has a great weekend. -Amber
Lot of people don't believe this but I saw their last concert before the plane crash it was a fantastic show October 19th 1977 in Greenville South Carolina
A good stankface song for sure
Bro thanks for reacting to a great song.. Love this band.. seen them live in Hawaii when l was in high school, They had 4 guitars jamming
Brother check out The needle and the spoon absolutely perfect song.
He did that one 😉
@@sheilajenkins8927 oh ok
Welcome to the South; we are a very friendly and accepting peoples.
Hey Biz, definitely one of my favorite Skynard songs of all time! And you just knocked it out of the ballpark! Easily one of your best reacts imo you were honest and passionate. I appreciate the breakdown of the lyrics, imo ronnie vanzant was one of the best at writing songs that grabed you by the ears! Biz keep putting your style of videos out and you will continue to have a fan and supporter in me. Keep up the good work and peace out! 👍🇺🇸🔥🎸😎
Now we talkin. Song goes hard
feel that on the work culture in the south vs north east, hustle vs humble
"gimme back my bullets" - about writing a hit #1 song. skynyrd had already been real big, nation-wide - ever world-wide - sweet home alabama already. then a somewhat fall from grace. drugs, exhaustion. guitar Ed King had to leave the band. "gimme back" - singer Ronnie Van Zandt, like, "let's get serious" - heavy sound, direct on target lyrics. aiming for - "number 1 with a bullet" as the song climbs up the charts. and it kind of did. next album after this - chris gaines (i know a little) - more deft, plucky guitar, country twang, so great.
"On the hunt" Live at Winterland...Skynyrd is one of the few Bands that sound as good live versus studio. Have a good weekend. Nice review...Humble is how you were brought up I believe. Up here in Maine, my parents were hard working and very humble. I notice folks down South very polite. ✌
Corrosion of conformity does a great cover of that.
I'm sure I've said this before, but I got The Olds so I don't remember! 🤣 Saw em 75, which imo was Prime Time.
You call em everyman band cuz they were.
Being an old drummer, I dig what Artemus did with this song. Good stuff!
The Journey Continues
☮️🤘🤙
I think you should jump down the rabbit hole and react to some of their older music....VERY underplayed ...was I right or wrong, Mississippi kid, searchin, coming home...just to name a few ❤❤❤❤
Love your reactions!!❤❤❤❤
Please do Skynyrd's "I Know A Little"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amen bro!! Got me laughing!!! So true
You should check out song by Skynyrd called Things Goin On off the Pronunced Album.
Ronnie did songs abt whiskey, women & drugs but he also wrote social issue songs like Saturday Night Special abt gun control, did songs abt climate & pollution & Things Goin on is abt poor side of towns in different places & how people just look the other way! And it sounds great too!
One thing people dont realize about Ronnie Van Zant, dude was an actual OG. Dude was mean, fair, but mean. His father was a boxer and Ronnie was a fighter. Even the band would have to be careful if they stepped out of line on stage. Haha Ronnie is the greatest and most unappreciated front man in rock-n-roll history!
I'm On the Hunt is next.
That guitar is screaming
Check out "Workin for the MCA" for context preferred Live
you found another one. like ain’t no fun waiting round to be a millionaire, this song does it. this album and dirty deeds spent a lot of time on my turn table.
Yes sir ,yes sir , yes sir, that's what I'm talking about and I mean for real . I underestimated you you write a hundred percent
Heck yeah! One of my favorite bands for sure. Any song off of their first two albums is automatically legendary, especially "I Need You", "I Ain't The One", "Workin For MCA", "Simple Man", "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" and I could go on and on...
Actually, recently I've been trying to listen to new music, starting with the albums I haven't heard by my favorite bands. I'm going through Lynyrd Skynyrds later stuff now, after the original 5 great albums. Just can't forget this band lol.
@XBlueWolf … he has done Simple Man and The Ballad of Curtis Loew … great videos!!! You should definitely check them out!!! 💞
@@sheilajenkins8927 yep, right after posting this I saw the Simple Man one, watched it earlier today and left a comment as usual. Thanks!
Great song from the only album without the three-guitar lineup.
Lots of other great Skynyrd songs that others have suggested. My recommendation would be Four Walls of Raiford.
Another good one is Ain't No Good Life, showcasing the talents of the late great Steve Gaines.
Brothers first time I ever seen you as soon as I seen where it said to you is playing some Lynyrd Skynyrd hell brother I had to lock button hit the notifications and I got a prescription and I went here and left to comment hello brother
Great job, you always pick them real 'Americana' songs. Thanks for all you do to bring some notoriety to the music I grew up on💯
You are welcome
I've drank enough whiskey, to float a battle ship around🤟
Reverend!!
Cheers
🍄🌲🍄💥✨🌈
You can research what "Gimme Back My Bullets" meant to Ronnie Van Zant
They practiced continually
WAS I RIGHT OR WRONG, IS AN UNBELIEVABLE SONG BY SKYNYRD!! JUST LISTEN TO BELIEVE!!
Great album, my favorite cut from this one. Tears it up!
It's a metaphor! Ronnie VanZant never shot anybody. Karen, CA
You will love this song.
Give Workin for MCA a try please 🔥✌🤘
The song was very misunderstood. Fans thought that it was a pro-gun song and at concerts, they would throw live ammo on the stage. One time, a broken record was thrown on stage and almost cut a band member. Bassist Leon Wilkeson once fired a starter's pistol into the air to quell the lunacy. For a time, the band wouldn't perform it live for that reason.
The "bullets" being referred to are the "points" on a musical ratings chart, and the band had a bit of a lull after Ed King left in 1975 and Mr. Van Zant was singing about coming back on top. A common misconception is that Mr. Van Zant says, "I've drank enough whiskey to turn a battleship around", but it is in fact "float a battleship around".
The "pencil pushers" in the lyrics are the music company executives and accountants. Referring to firearms, Mr. Van Zant once said, "I think they should sink them all to the bottom". Mr. Van Zant said that he was tired of reading about crime and shootings in the newspapers and on TV news and once admitted to accidentally shooting himself. He was an antique gun collector though.
Bro, a lot of people thought that this song was about Bullets for a Gun, Totally Wrong, The band was going through some hard times here, This song is about , Give me back my inner Strength, to go on in life, A Great song here, Cousin Figel
I've always liked this song. Such recovery lyrics.
