I always say, just imagine how big they would've been if they had 5 more years and released 3 more albums.

For most of their records they have 3 guitarist. What makes them special is how they play together. They weave in and out supporting each other and make it sound magical!

Bluesy, soulful, rockin' southern rock at it's all time finest. This song is the best of Skynyrd!

That Piano never fails to deliver ...on top of an undeniable groove .

This is a Skynyrd Hidden Gem, it sure packs a brutal punch, its as sleazy as you can get, it's my fave on this 3rd album , why is it that the best songs have this groove where the instrumentation and Lyrics move together seamless , that's when you feel something special , like AC/DC's Overdose, Whole Lotta Rosie, Let There Be Rock , Back in Black , Hells Bells, Spellbound, Gun's n Roses Sweet Child of Mine, Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, Ten Years Gone, In My Time of Dying, Ted Nugent Stranglehold, Lynyrd skynyrd Freebird, Simple Man , Tuesday's Gone, Sweet Home Alabama, Pink Floyd, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish you were here, Money, all these songs and the legendary tunes have that special groove where lyrics and Instruments are the same and tell the same story together , it's Magical 🎼🎵🎶💯

Wooh! Can't get ENOUGH of these guys. For some more feel it in your bones Skynyrd, check out 'I Need You'. pretty please...

Damn straight ! You've done a LOT of Skynyrd , hard to find 100% bangers for you....Was I Right or Was I Wrong is one though. ✌🏼

It is a really cool song. It’s not one that gets played a whole lot but always been one of my favorites.

Now this!!! Is Skynyrd

You should check out Skynyrds song Every Mothers Son. Such a beautiful song.

That’s the one! Great message about hookup culture back in the day without apologies. Gary Rossington on guitar ( mostly) 🔥 Coming Home next, it's a different side of Skynyrd you haven't heard yet

Legends are legends for a reason. These guys were just a phenomenon within a period of so much other great musicians. To stand out as special back then took more than just musicianship and even great song writing. There was so much great music in those days and the gems then are even more stellar today. Yes, these guys are probably most noted for their guitars. They had three and used them so perfectly to achieve a wall of sound at times yet never to muddy, noisy, or overwhelming because they didn't showboat, they served the song. Every student of music needs to spend at least a day diving into Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The greatest American songwriter to ever put pen to paper. Lyrical genius. Listen to "One More Time" and "I Never Dreamed"

That’s exactly the faces I make every time I hear this song 👍

Ronnie calling a spade a spade, just telling it like it is, and being polite to the point.

All three guitars belong in the top 20 for their songwriting ability

Give a listen to That Smell, from their album Street Survivors. Great lyrics, great guitar work! Great message.

All three guitarist were absolutely amazing!!! Especially the way all three lead guitarist blend together

Here are some lesser known bangers by them Bad Boy Blues, Coming Home, Cry for the Bad Man, I Got the Same Old Blues, I Need You, Junkie, Michele, Red White & Blue and Working for MCA

FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKIN' BOMB!!!!!!!!!!! Def in the top 5 Of Skynrd Next song PLEASE "I Ain't The One" by Skynrd.

Well, if this song is on the album, Nuthin’ Fancy, there are THREE guitarists: Ed King, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins. I love them, all three.

I loved Skynyrd from the days playing in Jacksonville. I knew they were going to be big. I never realized how big. Was in Tampa when I heard their plane went down. Worst day of my life.

I was hoping you would play this one! Love the nasty groove in this song 🔥 I fondly remember hearing this song while kinda on the hunt lol trying to give the illusion of playing hard to get 😂 ❤️‍🔥

That guitar though. Classic Skynyrd!

great pick brother, Ronnie has a way with lyrics nobody else had. even if he was on the crude side for a tune it still sounded right! Cry for the Bad Man is killer as well............. to anyone not familiar with their deeper cuts i'd highly recommend their box set a worthwhile investment!

Great insight and breakdown of this tune! You just can't go wrong listening to Skynard! Great job. Peace out! 👍🔥🎸🇺🇸🇬🇧😎

🎸💯 Lynyrd Skynyrd = badass Southern Rock‼🔥 Southern Rock is great any way; but Skynyrd makes it SUPER GREAT‼I never get enough of them‼Thanks BizMatik ‼☮ ❤ 🎶

Great song. Thx for reacting Biz!

Skynyrd guitar player ratings Allen Collins 9.5. Allen was doing things that only Clapton was doing at the time Steve Gains 9.0. Steve was only starting to show what he was going to become. He had flash and style and and made everyone in the band better Ed King 8.0. Underated. The most underated player in the band. Ed was a masterful player with style Gary Rossington 8.0. Gary isn't the flashier or most technically gifted player but what Gary has is feel. He never over plays but plays exactly what the song needs and has an amazing tone

Love the swampers. I will always regret never seeing them live.

On the scale of greatness...you are listening to 3 of the best guitarist of their time

Give a listen to "honky tonk night time man" I promise you will love it...but then again who doesn't love ANY Skynyrd song?? ☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️

I'm always on the hunt for that poontang! Another great song recorded at Studio One in Doraville Georgia 1975! You need some "Call Me The Breeze"✌💖☮

3 guitarist, playing different parts, nobody better, but My opinion…. Allen Collins is one of the most underrated guitarist of all time . Ed King , Gary Rossington , & Steve Gaines are ALL, Every Bit amazing in their own right, but when you put em all together…… MAGIC & LEGENDS 🎸🎸🎸🔥

I Knew You Would Like This Classic My Music Lovin' Brother,, We All Need A "Lil' Nasty" Every Now & Then.

saw their first reunion tour after the plane crash ,,, put on a hell of a show ..

THIS. This song is ALWAYS on my playlist. Mf. I LOVE this song!!❤❤❤

If you diggin this check out "Cry for the bad man" its another nasty hook

Listen to this song Live at Winterland.. Skynyrd sounds gr8 live, same as the studio version. ✌

I truly think a lot of their songs that didn't hit the charts is their better songs. Love the guitar work on this song.

Back in the early 80s I had a black 78 Buick Riviera, last of the full size rear wheel drive models. A big black car and I was in my early 20s. Life was good and I was cruising around listening to Skynyrd's Gold and Platinum.😊

This album was done in 2 weeks start to finish. Had to meet 1 album per year contract. As most Skynyrd fans know they did not write things down. They just got together and started playing riffs and or Ronnie started singing. All the members did their own cords,beats keys. What ever instrument they played.

This song is one where the groove and riff perfectly matches the lyrics and theme of the song. I've always called it "slanky"

Use to blast this solo on repeat in my truck when I would ride the back roads smokin. With the system pumping out the bass.

I don't have a single favorite guitar player but as far as guitarists go, I rank Skynyrd's guitar players pretty high in my favorites list. They each have their own sound that works perfect together. Things Going On or I Ain't the One from the Pronounced album are great tunes to check out.

Great tune! Thanks for the reaction.

That riff is so darn delicious, can't get enough of it

BIZ!! You're exactly right, this is nasty Southern rock! Early Skynyrd was extra nasty. Multiple lead guitars in unison is one of their trademarks. I love this one Biz! I still say Mr. Banker and Four Walls of Raedord. Not nasty per say but definitely fire. I think you'll dig them both. There are no bag or sub par Skynyrd songs. I've been a fan since the 70s and have seen them live lots of times over the years and they're always phenomenal. Keep it up my friend 🙌🏼 You're my favorite reaction channel

Such a perfect vibe… can’t help but to groove to this one 🔥

Yes!! Lynyrd Skynyrd is great. I'm going through all of my favorite bands to listen to all of their albums, and I finished Lynyrd Skynyrd. They even surprised me with how consistently good they were. I have a few favorites even from their later work after the crash and re-formation. But as far as Nothin' Fancy, "Am I Losin'" and "Railroad Song" are other gems.

Still my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song to this day. It's got such a nasty riff.

One thing I heard more than once is LS's guitar work is some of the hardest to copy.

If you like dirty Lynyrd Skynyrd listen to the studio version of "Cry for the Bad Man." Dirty!

This band is just brilliant. Loved your reaction to this.

The Dirty South in all it's glory...😎😎Guitar attack is highly underrated.

no it's not southern rock...It's global..hello from Lesbos island Greece ❤

What a fantastic band. I'm game for anything by them because I've only heard the hits and this one was a real surprise.

There are 3 guitarist in Lynyrd Skynyrd usually taking turns. Respect

Next up should be Cry for the bad man .. you won't be disappointed

Three guitarists. All really good, in my opinion

if the whole family was still here WOW they would have the whole world at there feet.🎧🎧✌🎸🎸🎸🎸

The live version is a masterpiece

My absolute favorite Skynyrd tune...Corrosion of Conformity does an awsome cover of it too!!!

Lynyrd Skynyrd "I Need You"

Side note on your end questions, if not answered already. LS has 3 guitarists, all of incredible caliber, and they all took lead and rhythm in equal parts. Gary Rossington and Allen Collins were part of the original formation of the band in grade school, with Ronnie and Bob Burns on drums. Allen wrote Freebird when he was 17, you know that insane mental solo? Ed King was great, he was from California and was on the first few albums. Ed left and Steve Gaines came in for the last album.

Biz, I'm sorry I've commented this on a few of your Skynyrd videos, but please please do I Need You. Great song, great slide guitar work from Rossington, and Ronnie Van Zant recorded it in one cut in a pitch black studio at 2am!

No matter what race you are that is just a hole mix of it not just one

One of the sexiest songs ever written!!

Finally! Now you got to do Skynyrd’s, “I Ain’t The One”

I have been a devoted fan of the greatest band ever right here, just about my entire life age 13 to present age of 60. This is their 3rd album & 1 of the essential albums during their 3 guitar army era before Ed King left the band. Allen Collins & Gary Rossington, (who we just sadly lost on the 5th of March), were all such amazing guitarist who never got the proper recognition they were deserved & owed. They'll never be anyone who can beat 'em as far as my opinion goes! The 3 guitar army ruled & reigned & by far the BEST! But I know that somewhere in R&R Heaven they are all together again making that very unique sound & music & all the angels & even Jesus too are smiling & stomping their feet. Gary was the last founding member who was on every album from the beginning & to date. So with his death, that makes it all complete as far as originals go. I was planning on going to their upcoming Charlotte NC show, but not sure now because it'll be so sad not to see Gary up there. I was at their last show in Greenville SC October 19, 1977 just before the plane crash & I've still followed & seen them many times since they regrouped with surviving members to form the Rossington Collins Band & then on to become today's Lynyrd Skynyrd with Ronnie Van Zants little brother Johnny in his place. Johnny was the only one who could stand in his brothers place caz Ronnie was phenomenal! But 1 thing I do know, their music & legacy will live on until this world ends. And I will remain 1 of their biggest fans forever, along with zillions of more who I'm sure feel the way I do. Just put on ANY Skynyrd album & I promise you, your day will be happier & ROCK! Can I get a Amen?

Great choice again, Biz. My favourite song from their third album and you can really hear a nod to the great UK band, Free in this song.

One of my favorites, use to play this one back in the day.

Allen Collins wrote that riff.

Great song! The groove, the guitar playing, Ronnie's vocals. Everything about "On the Hunt" is awesome! A hidden gem in Lynyrd Skynyrd's catalog!

3 lead guitar attack, 4 if you count bassist Leon Wilkinson. All four rated a 10 out of 10. So much talent in one band.

Skynyrd usually had 3 guitars and the Bass they were all great Allen played a lot of the leads Gary played a lot of slide and Ed was just a great guitarist. I believe Ed left the band after this album. He had played for the strawberry alarm clock before Skynyrd. The only one that's left is Gary Rossington still playing the slide on Freebird. The way they bounce off of each other was what made them great. Ed King was originally pulled into the band to play Bass because Leon Wilkinson was only 17. When Leon came back into the band Ed moved to guitar.

no egos wit them guitarist. only sweetness. Allen Collins guitar on Freebird, AMAZING! Garys slide work and sweet sustain, AMAZING! Ed King stylings and fills, AMAZING! They rank as the best ever for me.

They have also released some decent material since Ronnie's Death. Check out some of the newer albums too.

Skynyrd has always had 2 or 3 lead guitarists at any given time. The BEST was probably Steve Gaines(unfortunately very short lived) The Street Survivors album(last album) was his coming out party. Incredible picker, singer and writer!

Lynryrd Skynyrd "Double Trouble "

4 years of fu**ing perfection. Timeless music right there Biz!!

I told you!! 🔥🎸🎤🔥 Ronnie Van Zant was a master lyricist 😉 I vote you start with their first album “Pronounced” from 1973 & go track by track of course skipping the ones you’ve already done 😉♥️

Nothing compares to the original lineup. Their 1999 album Edge of Forever, a good lead guitar track on Preacher Man. I appreciate your reactions!

Twin lead guitars…These guys could blow you away with the guitar assault…

One thing about the lyrics. Baby mama hadn't come into use when he wrote this. If you listen closely you will pick up on the pause between them. One of my favorite Skynyrd tunes! Love the reaction!

You’re my new favorite reactor! So entertaining!! Wow!! You’re doing a terrific job!!

We loved it the. We love it now!!!

Answer your question. All 4 lead guitars are top 100 thats ever lived in the world. Thats what is part of the reason their the best. With ronni (Elvis)icon van zant backed by Powell (best piano man in rocken n roll) pyle & wilkerson( both very good & excellent) & honketts none better. When have u heard back up singers sound so good at the right time with the right words)The original band has rossington & Collins. King was added to make power trio lead guitars. King quit. Gaines brother of lady backup singer Cassy.( She stands In the middle.) Is added after one album with just 2 guitars. Gaines is on live record one more from the road & last one street survivors. Pronounced has just 2 guitars also. King is playing bass on recordings except one song.

One of my favorite LS songs!!!

Dude. This is a good-ass song. That riff. They really new how to mix an album. So pro. How have I never heard this? fantastic.

The ultimate groupie song . Ronnie was a raw genius.

Greatest guitar band ever!

My family listened to them all the time, whether we liked it or not! Younger brother, Steve played them until he fell asleep. He actually got sent home from school for wearing a t shirt that said, "ass kicking Southern rock". But I have always been a Skyryrd fan.

Damn, haven't heard this from them...but that slow and nasty groove.... I'm digging on this.... All I got from them is the double cd 30th Anniversary Collection and this isn't on that one.

This is a great song, you should check out Coming Home, or Was I Right Or Wrong

One of my all-time favorites, period. They had three different guitarists who all played lead, they switched from song to song. Back then it was Allen Collins, Gary Rossington and Ed King. I think this song might have Gary on lead. I never really worry about rankings, but they were all great guitar players. The only statement I'll ever make about ranking guitar players is that, for me, there was Jimi and then everyone else. There's a long line of great ones after Jimi.

Check out Selwyn Birchwood. Listen to Reaping Time. That is a gritty deep dark southern Rock sounding tune. Serious message.

You have same attitude and feeling when i was high school late 70s . Good! You will be big sucsess soon.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖. I followed that band for 3 years All over HELL'S HALF ACRE AND BACK. I ❤️ THIS FUCKIN' BAND! I WILL AWAY'S REMEMBER!

The formula for Skynyrd? Ronnie head dude Leon Fender bass Gary Gibson Les Paul Allen Gibson Firebird (1 Firebird with P 90s) Gibson Explorer Ed Fender Strat Steve Strat Billy Key boards Bob, Artemus Drums Honketts Vocals Ricky little bit of everything. BTW, try some Blackfoot (Train, train ,, Highway song) Listen to the whole album, it's Skynyrd's grittiest.
