Leonard skinner was their gym teacher who bullied them all the time because of their long hair which wasn't to common in the 1960's south.

You have to do free bird by them, the Oakland California one! You will be amazed!!!!

Pronounced Linnerd Skinnerd I got in a fistfight with the bass player of this band in the parking lot of Dr. Feelgoods in St. Pete, Florida in 1973 before their first big hit. They were just a good local bar band at the time. We were fighting over the results of the battle of Gettysburg...I don't drink tequila anymore...

"Call Me The Breeze " is a BANGER.! 💯💣💥

One of the best southern rock bands ever. This was what I grew up on.

This song shows the diversity of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Simple Man's lyrics give a so-called simple message, but are so profound in how to prepare for life's journey through the advice of a mother to her son. Ronnie Van Zant's voice really adds to the heart felt message as does the music. .

Left to right Leon Wilkson,Billy Powell,Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, Bob Burns, Allen Collins,and Ed king. Everyone in that Picture has Passed.

One of Jacksonville, Florida's finest..... And there are many!

Lynyrd Skynyrd was an awesome band, several members died in a plane crash in Mississippi, which kind of disrupted the band for a very long time. They pattern themselves after the Allman Brothers, which you should also check out probably the best southern rock/ blues band of all time. But Lynyrd Skynyrd has a good catalog lots of really great music.

Left to right...Leon Wilkeson - Bassist, Billy Powell - Piano and organ, Ronnie Van Zant - Band leader, founder, and lead vocalist. Next (sitting) is Garry Rossington - Guitarist, Bob Burns (standing), Drummer, Alan Collins, Guitarist, and Eddie King - Guitarist. R.I.P. to all of the FREEBIRDS from Skynyrd. The musical respect that Skynyrd fans, had, and still have for these guys, cannot be described. Heart and soul from them to us and right back to them again...

This is a gem of a band MD....southern rock is a new genre you've just discovered. This genre brings it's own flavor to rock.

Love them southern boys!!! 🎸🎸🎸

This was and is real music by real musicians, the 70’s were so good 😎

such a good reaction....How did you get so wise and be so young! You are a gem.. peace to you

Leonard Skinnerd - you got it 😉 Great song, great band, great reaction as always!

Len-ard Skin-ard would be a help to pronouncing it. Great band. Great catalog. A top 3 guitar solo is part of Freebird live in Oakland 1977. Many many more. The Ballad of Curtis Loew is fantastic. Gimme 3 steps, Mr. Saturday night Special, That smell, What's your name, Tuesdays gone. There is a good starters list. Sweet home Alabama as well. Great job here as usual.

They have a deep catalog of great songs, so enjoy the ride i know i have for many many years, Curtis Lowe is one of my al time Favorites was not a hit for them, but has always reminded me of my great Uncle Malcom who got me into the Guitar and the Bluse at a very young Age.

This is from their debut album! Their next was: Second Helping. It has my favourite song of theirs: "Call Me The Breeze". I hope you will react to it sometime. They have multiple guitarists and a terrific piano player who shines on this track. ❤‍🔥

This is one of their best songs. So beautiful and the message every mother wants to send her son off into the world with. Their most famous song is "Freebird"...the best performance is from the Oakland Coliseum July 2, 1977. Truly an EPIC performance!!! I highly recommend it!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎤🎧🥁🎹🔥🔥🔥🤘

You struck gold today! Lynyrd Skynyrd had a LOT of great songs in a relatively short amount of time because a few of the members, including the singer, were killed in a plane crash. Their two biggest hits were probably Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama, but other great songs include: The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, Call Me The Breeze, I Know A Little, What's Your Name, Gimme Back My Bullets, That Smell, Don't Ask Me No Questions, Saturday Night Special, and You Got That Right. All of the reactors do a certain live version of Freebird, but the audio isn't that great on that one. Unless there's a better live version, I'd rather you do the studio version, although some on here might disagree. They were an excellent live band, but that one particular video that everyone uses doesn't have good sound quality. Have fun hearing all of these great songs for the first time!

You are very wise my friend - Really enjoy your reactions

Depth. I feel like 70s music really had a depth, a questioning of life, an uncertainty about life that we all feel!!!! I’m so tired of the bravado and ‘certainty’ in contemporary music. ‘I’m this. I’m that. I know this. Take that’. They’ve taken the beauty and wonder out of life. I have questions and most people do too!!!!! ❤❤❤

Lynard Skynyrd was such a great Band. Then the horrible plane crash happened. God Bless

Beautiful lyrics ❤️ to a Fantastic song. Great reaction 👏👏👏

Lynyrd Skynyrd is definitely a rabbit hole you want to go down!! All their songs are great!! Listen to Free Bird, live in Oakland Coliseum, 1977!! One of the best guitar solos of all time!!

The whole Pronounced Lehnerd Skinnerd album is outstanding.

I saw this band 5 times in Denver from 1974 to 1977. I was crushed when they died in the plane crash. So sad.

Left to right, Leon Wilkerson Base, Billy Powell Keys, Ronnie Van Zant Lead Vocals, Gary Rossington Guitar, Bob Burns Drums, Allen Collins Guitar, and Ed King Guitar.

Subscribed to your channel yesterday...really like your style. This is the music of my younger days, along with Pink Floyd, YES, Dire Straits and many others. I really enjoy watching you discover and react to the excellence and talent of what was taken for granted by my generation. Btw, I'm 78 and so grateful for having come of age when I did.

Leon Wilkerson- bass, Billy Powell- piano, Ronnie Van Zant- vocals, Artemis Pyle- drums, Alan Collins- guitar, Ed King (replaced by Steve Gaines)- guitar, in front is Gary Rossington- guitar.

They have a great song collection. You need to watch more of their music.

Yes! Lynyrd Skynyrd is Southern Rock & they have a deep catalogue. Their biggest hits are Sweet Home Alabama & Free Bird, both of which you should check out. They have a ton of other great music to get to. The other great Southern Rock band is the Allman Brothers, you should check them out too.

FREEBIRD!!!!✌️❤️

I just noticed The Miami Dolphins Banner on your wall. I'm from South Florida, and a Dolphins fan. My family is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin...... So I'm a Packers fan as well. Rock on Brother, and keep up the honest heartfelt reactions! You should try Lynyrd Skynyrd "I Need You" Blues and Soul.

A simple a powerful message. A simple and powerful melody. In your future reactions, notice how effective it is when the music mirrors the message.

You should check out Chicago 25 or 6 to 4, live at Tanglewood. The guitarist in my book is in the top 5 of all time in Rock. Like Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassy Gaines and the road crew that died in a plane crash left us far too young.

Thank you kindly for reacting to Lynyrd Skynyrd. The pinnacle of Southern Rock. From left to right. Leon Wilkeson (bass), Billy Powell (piano), Ronnie Van Zant (lead vocals and band leader), Gary Rossington (slide and rhythm guitar), Bob Burns (drums), Allen Collins (guitar) and Ed King (guitar).

Love “Gimme 3 Steps”

Since you’re from Canada we’re gonna need to get you a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Lu Dort jersey to hang on that wall 😜 (Oh yeah and great reaction! Free Bird is another popular track by them)

do the STUDIO called FREEBIRD -it is HUGE was in every jukebox coast to coast -an ANTHEM classic you will be BLOWN AWAY

You seem to be a very smart and moral young man... and this is what this song is talking about . They are saying " keep it simple , love your God . Don't complicate your life with worldly things because they mean very little " . This mother is concerned about her child and she is warning life goes very fast and keep your focus on what's good and real . Be a simple kind of man . PK

“Free Bird” live at Oakland. You won’t regret it! 🌻👵🏼💜✌🏼

If your doing this band you have have to do free bird that song is timeless/classic and amazing

They were the best, from Jacksonville, Florida.

Left to right, Leon Wilkeson (bass), Billy Powell (keys), Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Gary Rossington seated ( one of three guitarists), Bob Burns, behind Gary (drummer), Allen Collins beside Bob (second of three guitarists) and Ed King on the far right (3rd of three guitarists).

The message is every mom’s dream for her son the understand.

I enjoyed this thoughtful reaction, well done!

So many good artists during this time but then the stone hits dynamite. This band is one of those bands. All their songs are great.

Leonard Skinard is how it's pronounced - great song to learn about them. Enjoy!

You nailed it young man! Ronnie Van Zant the lead singer and songwriter would be proud of ya!

The drummer had a wonderful name - Artimus Pyle. That was his given name. How warped were his parents !!!!

Nice reaction, Dreezy. And don’t worry about stopping in the middle of the video - that’s what reaction videos are about 👍👍👍

Len-Ard-Skin-Ard All kinds of awesome

Deep DEEP rabbit hole you should Definitely dive into!!!

Southern Rock has always felt to me like a mix of bluegrass, country, gospel and rock played by lots of good ole boys. This band named themselves after their gym teacher who ridiculed their long hair, so they ridiculed his name- pronounced “linard skinard”. Their most famous song is Sweet Home Alabama.

I see that song as no bull shit as real as you get . Thanks for the reaction 🔥🔥

Leonard Skinner is the pronunciation. Named after the teacher/ coach who didn't like long hair. Free Bird 🐦 live Oakland Festival 1977 version.

Free bird live from Oakland coliseum 1977 is mind blowing 🤯❤️

Fee Bird live in Oakland

this is the song that I gave to my son when he was born 🤍🤍

I second the comment to do "Freebird" from the Oakland Coliseum by Lynyrd Skynyrd it's important as it is an iconic song like "Stairway to Heaven",by Zeppelin, "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple which you've already done and also "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf. These are some of the most popular rock songs of all time.

Leon Wilkerson bass Billy Powell piano Ronnie VanZant lead singer Gary Rossington lead guitar Bob Burns drums Allen Collins lead guitar Ed King lead guitar

Just do Freebird live next. It's the best song they ever did. It got it all.

Free Bird. LIVE..is a must..please by Skynard ❤

Phonetically: (LIN-erd SKIN-erd) I got your back, man. Some of the best southern rock you will ever hear. Tragically, half of them died in a plane crash in the fall of 1977. Also of note, they had a little back and forth with Neil Young over his song "Southern Man."

You'll probably recognize "Sweet Home Alabama" if you check it out. Great song. I always said it like Linnerd Skinner (Lynn = lin). I was here for Ren, but delighted to see the diversity in your videos. I may have missed it, but if you like this older rock sound, you have to check out Kansas "Carry On Wayward Son."

Leon wilkerson,Billy Powell,Ronnie Vanzant on vocals, Garry Rozington,Bob Burns,Allen Collins,Ed King.Ronnie was the leader of this band. He never wrote down his lyrics & always went barefoot on stage he loved to Feel the music. Greatness taken way to soon.

If you get a chance, watch the live version of FreeBird from the Oakland Coliseum stadium in 1977.

You're spot on correct my brother! Keep your eyes on Christ! This world, and everything in it, is passing away! 😊

You’re obviously gonna get hella requests for Free Bird live at Oakland, it’s a banger. You should also try their T for Texas 1976 live performance. Straight heat

All the men must hear the lyrics of this song🤘

You can pause in the middle, it's totally normal for reactors for copyright reasons. Don't listen to anyone complaining.

good reaction , thanks man!

Jacksonville,Fl

React to the original band members 1977 Oakland Coliseum FREE BIRD! It was a music festival head lining Peter Frampton. Reason for all the girls!

Free bird any version ❤❤

A cool song to react to by Skynyrd would be Things Goin' On.

Do "Call me the Breeze" soon. It is so good!! They have about 100 great songs and only one good one.❤none are bad😮

LENERD SKINERD IS HOW IT SOUNDS.❤😅

Freebird studio version then Oakland live in 77 - you should check out Bad Co. - they also have a completely different Simple Man song. First band Led Zeppelin signed to their Swan Song record label. #PaulRodgers

you should react to their song called complicated woman.... no I'm just kidding they don't have a song called that but they should write one

ok...its pronounced "Leonard skin-ard".

☮️💜🤘🤣🔥

Freebird - Studio first. There is also a live version from Oakland, but it’s musically inferior.

LIN-ARD SKIN-ARD

Well,,,,he'll make it to Free Bird now. 💥💥💥👍😎 (STUDIO!!!!) Then,,when you watch it live,,,,you'll have something to compare it to. 👍

Do me a favor. Go to the people who raised you and tell them they did an amazing job. you seem like an amazing young man.

Leonard Skinerd

One of my favorites...not a fan of this band...but great song... One died in a plane crash, that I know...can't name them all...lol.

Brother Man, when you get to Free Bird...Please react to the studio version first, the Live in Oakland version is overreacted to and remember Live in the 70s , the sound and quality is compromised....on your journey please react to studio versions , then find the live versions! ❤

all our dad's shit why are all you Noobs checking it out Now

I think past the ninties you all got totally ripped off with true talent and beautiful music. Just my little opinion.❤
