+stiflingmystrife And rock! Everyone knows this song rocks and Skynyrd, while having some southern racist undertones, were extremely talented boys and later made up with Neil Young etc, BTS loves a great guitar solo such as this and Cortez the Killer etc, they love to rock.

No pretension. Fuck that's insulting. They are playing the song because like true free thinkers they realize it's one of the best free rock songs ever made. They aren't all hung up on the fact that it's "Free Bird". That's what alternative is about. The ability to like things regardless of social context and for it's true form.

You just agreed with the original comment ya dummy.

Oh, there is most certainly pretense here. These guys are playing this song to poke fun at the song...and it's great! You notice that they cut out the 2nd verse entirely and went directly to speeding the song up, so they could get to the fun part where the song begins to jam. Also, notice the extended ending of the song? That goes hand in hand with the concept of endless guitar solos during the song. They are making a point, while enjoying themselves. Guitar players would play "Smoke on the Water" if it were challenging and fun to play, but the song is sheer drudgery. Freebird is enough fun to hold their interest, but I could almost guarantee that this song isn't in their favorite playlists.

@@southrules Thats bullshit, Synyrd had NO racist undertones--the Neil Yound thing was publicity. Saturday Night Special is anti-gun, Ballad of Curtis Loew is about his hero, a black bluesman when he was young. They took exception to Southern Man painting with a broad brush. You shouldnt make such nasty accusations that cant be backed up with facts. The original band was considered very liberal. I cant find a single time they had to even defend themselves. The internet is a cesspool of gossip, drama and spicoli stabbed mr hand b.s. shame on you, 5 years later.

I’m a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd now because of this

This will ruin the indie cred I have been cultivating for 25 years but I would love to hear BTS cover My Sacrifice by Creed

@@straightcashhomey1261 😂 would probably be amazing. I firmly believe that Be there soon! can polish any turd

they're cover of cortez the killer is my favorite cover of that song as well.

@@sbeard90is it on youtube?

Brian Williams they played it at the show in New York too a few days later

Was there. I remember them lighting two candles, not saying a thing, and just launching into their set. And then they played this? It was so appropriate and touching. Glad you got to witness it too.

@@orbitsofmoon I was there. Chills.

i ONLY DISCOVERED THEM HERE ON KZfaq TONIGHT AND i LOVE THEM

Jimin is my favourite

@@jimisalt boy if you don't get

You may have heard Isaac Brock's response to a similar request.

@@GeneTrujillo that’s funny built to spill was opening for modest mouse at this show. Someone yelled freebird and bts went right in to it. How do you top that tho? Modest mouse came out and half the audience left lol. We went to get pizza instead

I was at the columbus show right before it

Modest Mouse was BTS Jr 😂

I love Modest Mouse, but they definitely should've been opening for BTS!

Holy shit, that’s the perfect show. Jealous

I wS here too. Sup from 2021

You mean not to play?

Tasmainia300 Alright Issac you can calm down.

He is so humble....huge signing bonus and he strolls around town in a subaru station wagon and shoots hoops over at North jr high....nice guy

People were going nuts you just can’t tell. There was a pit even during this. There was 2,000 people there you can’t see. People were flashing them on their partners shoulders even (first time I’d seen that at a indie show) . Quote the moment

@Angelo Iafelice He's clearly being serious that this is 1961

there's no other response.

Van Zandt was pretty liberal...the Neil Young thing was played up, they became good friends. check the politics at the door. Not sure why its apt;y timed or you associate them with "cries of nationalism"...the man who thought of the lyrics was quite liberal. Is it cause theyre southern boys? Shouldnt stereotype or profile.

@ 3:24 haha

He only came out to play solos. Would leave the stage for half the song then come out at the end lol. He was also drinking odouls

they dont know if its serious or tounge in cheek. you dont nail a song that good if youre joking, Skynyrd was much more than a southern rock band. These guys grew up on Freebird. They really do it justice, no joking around. Less hipster than the people who pay to sse them.

Georgie Thumbs wtf LOL why would hek

Because every band I see that has a bald guy he's either wearing a hat or he shaves his head like Billy Corgan or Chris Daughtry or Moby, none of them have the balls to just let the world know they are losing their hair like this guy Doug Martsch

Georgie Thumbs omg. Billy Corgan's head is HUGE. Seriously. I saw him in irl and my first thought wasn't 'wow! Billy Corgan!' it was..."whoa! giant head!" LOL Doug Martsch is cool as Fuck. he's had t be same hair since the 90's. I guess I just love them so much I never thought about it. they're on a different level. Doug is so sweet. I met him a lot of times. so nice

It's funny cuz what I like about them as that they just tear this shit up. DAMN.

Georgie Thumbs Well, to be fair, not many of us like the “horse shoe” look. Why do you not have a problem with non-bald dudes cutting/styling their hair, but you think bald guys shouldn’t be able to do the same? Judging by your comment, it sounds like you might be a bald guy who doesn’t like the way you look with a shaved head and therefore feels like you don’t have any options, so you take your insecurity out on dudes who do shave their heads. No one would make the comment you just made unless you were insecure about something. 🤷‍♂️

I'd rather hear Built to Spill play Broken Chairs live then.

I see u modest mouse fan

“We don’t even know how to play fucking Freebird”

They were opening for modest mouse on this tour. After they’d play freebird for their encore half the audience would split instead of staying for mm. Think that’s why isaac hates it

Ask him then

I will next time the next time I see him

+marc joaquin Probably not. Baron von Bullshit was released in 2004 and according to the video description this was 3 years earlier.

M13joaquin ! old comment but isaac did the freebird rant in response to this

ofstsld you don’t know that!

Joe
