But such a tragic history to such a great band. RIP Gary
Interesting bit of trivia - as complex as some of the guitar work was and as improvised as it might sometimes sound with 3 guitars wonderfully crafted together, it wasn't improvised - they were all just such phenomenal players and it was all meticulously worked out.
yep, (that and SHA for me), people mock it all now as "worn out over played grandad rock" but that first time, especially as a "just teenager" - mind blowing. Never heard anything like it.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
(And most of the other top ten aren't as great as people think they are.)
R. I. P.
I’m a huge Southern Rock fan, so this is a big loss.
Ironic that the man who lasted the longest of the band that recorded ‘That Smell’ was the one it was about.
RIP.

But let's not split hairs, Rickey certainly has 50+ years of history with the band. He's the nearest they've got now to an original member.
Wasn't there a whole episode of OGWT where they went on location and featured Skynyrd and other Southern bands? So they were trashing part of their own programme's history. I never liked OGWT after David Hepworth and Mark Ellen became the presenters, they were always sniffy about the prog/hippy bands the programme had featured in the past.
Time isn't always kind to music, but to me Freebird in particular, withstands the test well. The guitars gave it a sound all of it's own.
RIP
