I nearly cried when Allen's dad stood up and spoke on his son's behalf. He still looks so heartbroken.

"M name is Ed King by the way"....I wrote one great lick and it was Gods gift to me" no my friend, you wrote many great songs with Skynyrd.. never forget that!! RIP Skynyrd.. your music lives on.. Fly high FREE BIRD yeah!!!!

Allen Collins. One of the Greatest song writers and guitar players ever to walk the face of the Earth. A forgotten Man , sadly. Let’s not forget that R.V.Z. AND Allen Collins Wrote FREEBIRD 🙏😞. God Bless Mr. Allen Collins.

Iconic band. That moment was long overdue. RIP to the original crew. Keep their spirits alive.

If I could only listen to only one band's music, it would be Lynyrd Skynyrd. To me, the best band that ever lived...period.

Hats off to Gary Rossington, as an original member , he has never forgotten about where and who "Lynyard Skynyard " came from. Ronnie, Gary, Allen, Ed, Leon, Artiamuiss , Billy. I really respect Gary Rossington for his respect for his friends, and bandmates. He has always given respect to all of them, and knew that without them , there would never have been "Lynyard Skynyard ", he has always given respect to all of their fans, always thanking them for all of their success. This man is known worldwide for his phenomenal guitar work, and never have I seen where he was conceited or obnoxious to anyone, alot of waylesser artist's sure have. And often do. He knows that through God , his friends and fans, he was blessed with success. I'm proud to say that I was lucky enough to get to see them in concert a couple of times before tragedy struck them, a devastating end to what was just beginning. Through their awesome music, "Lynyard Skynyard " will live on .....Always.

allen collins, the most under-rated brilliant guitarists ever.

R.I.P all members who have passed..."would you still remember me?"...we always will god bless you all and rock on forever!!!!

Grew up in Jacksonville in the 60s,70s. proud of their induction, and here's to all of us that knew Ronnie and the band through all the struggles. ✌️🌴🌅

Ed king was an incredibly underrated guitar player

I was born in 1991, so I never knew Lynyrd Skynyrd before the plane crash. But, deep in my heart, I miss them so much. Life is doing so terrible things. My only hope is for all these gone people to find peace in Heaven.

Allan Collins. A tough way to go. An unbelievable Guitar Player played so hard and fast just like he did in life. Sadly he was Gone early. It was like he never took time to smell the Roses , never took a break , never put his feet up to relax. Whiskey Bottles, Brand New Cars , Oak Tree your in My Way. Need I say more. God Bless you Allan.

For the short amount of time they were around, I do believe that band was truly top 10 bands ever... God bless em...

gotta love ed king

"I'd like to thank the fans, the band and the man !" RIP Bob

I have been to the gravesite where the members are buried in Orange Park Florida and must admit , I shed tears every time . On the huge headstone are words by the late , great Charlie Daniel's that read , " Fly on proud bird , you're free at last " God bless you all .

You know you're a badass when you are inducted into the hall of fame as a pianist

God bless them all. Broke my heart to see Allen's dad Mr Larkin Collins up there, but was so glad to see Ronnie's daughter, Tammy, was there.

RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd. Y'all have brought me so much joy through my life. I was born only a few months before the tragic plane crash, and I wish I could give my life so that it never happened. Love you all. ❤

Lynyrd Skynyrd truly one of rocks great bands.

After all these years it's still brings tears to my eyes

Lynyrd Skynyrd will on forever the music they contributed for us, bless all them beautiful people involved

Billy Powell, Allen Collins, Ronnie Van Zant, RIP Legends🤘

Not enough was said about Steve Gaines what a talent! I`m from that time and this band was bigger than life before the plane crash. Now people today don`t have the skills on guitar and writing. So bump the bass and wear your pant at the knees, that is what you will be remember for sadly enough.

Soooo deserving! This band is one of those 1970s bands that really worked hard at the gruesome grind to make it.

Allen and Steve was so underrated guitarists both quite genius Rip brothers

She's right. Her father Allen Collins was an amazing guitarist.

I will always keep Lynyrd Skynyrd alive!! Always!!...Free Bird was my Class Song in 1977!! We still love you!!

Nobody will ever replace them.. They dont write music like that anymore there lyrics were real life we all could relate to. there music will live on forever as well as there lives, they will be remembered and loved for generations to come,to the end of the world and back again. Now they rock heaven!

my heart just always carries this sadness

When I saw them they played Freebird but did not sing it. Just a spotlight on Ronnie’s hat on the microphone. It was the 1990s. I loved the concert. The tribute to the lost band members was epic and very moving. Thank you!

Indeed the heavens are rocking tonight. What a houseband. Can't wait to join.

As crazy as it sounds I still feel like the original Skynyrd is underrated.

Love Allan Collins father.

This was a long time coming but it was worth the wait. As for those we loss over the years, may they all RIP We love & miss ya so much!!!!

well deserved!!!!!! and as a fan I'd like to thank lynard skynard for all the great great great music it's all been a honor to hear them play on

What a great band and well deserved. Artimus is one cool cat. Long live the Skynyrd!!

good old bob burns.. nice to see him here!!

I wish Leon could have been there...R.I.P. LEON keep that low end grooving up there in the heavens!!!!!

The reunion is complete

Ed never fails to let everybody know which lick he wrote.

Can you imagine the type of hat or hats Leon would have worn to this?..lol

ronnie vanzant was a true man.

So many great songs .. just one after another on that Vinyl.

Thank you, Lynyrd Skynyrd, for what you gave us all!

How could 68 people not like this this is a great song, by a great band, and certainly the best jam ever at the Rock and Roll Hall of fame

remember Allen Collins was a huge part of this band

How can you not love them. ❤️❤️❤️🏆🏆🏆

Wow. Gary speech is like appreciated not just by Ronnie, but the big man above, that echoing heavens high.🤙

“ronnie van zant should be here” he sure should 🙏 love you RVZ forever

Ed King , we love you , RIP

God bless Lynyrd Skynyrd!

I love that Lynyrd Skynyrd,is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they definitely deserve it,RIP,all of the members that are sadly not there.May you all know that your impact of your music has really affected us, and we're glad to have your music 🙏 💙 in our lives🎉🎉

Artemus Pyle is a class act

Well if this doesn’t tear you up you’re not A Lynyrd Skynyrd fan 😢

I remember when Sweet Home Alabama came out the radio station got so many requests to play it that the DJ played it continuously for several hours. It’s great to be from the south but I guess you could tell my southern accent in the way I was typing.

RIP Bob Burns

I loved how they saved Artimus Pyle for the end. I’ve always really enjoyed his work with Skynard.

My favorite band ever✌️

Well deserved award. What a great group of people & greatest band ever! God Bless

Can you imagine if all the stars who died in plane crashes were still with us? Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, the guys from Skynyrd, John Denver, Jim Croce, Stevie Ray Vaughan...

My favourite band! Lynyrd forever!

All y'all that claim to be true fans might want to take note, it is spelled LYNYRD SKYNYRD! The absolute best band to ever throw a note in the general direction of an audience. They were tight, they were right .... they were dynamite! Side note: This Lynard Skynard of which you speak is not known to me. Side note included just in case you missed my first sentence.

A lot of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band members AND their families DID THANK THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, UNASHAMEDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY. PRAISE THE LORD!😊wado,Ann Benson.

its nice that they let artimus take part in this. and also right that johnny was not on stage...but still sad that there is so much turmoil stemming from gary...

Love this band Rock on skynyrd

Great band I loved the band in early sevendes and today I have there cd in my raido today 2022 love you guys

What a great bunch of people. So humble. Love y'all

These speeches brought a tear to my eye. Especially Gary, Artemis, and Mr. Collins. Classy and heartfelt. Lynyrd Skynyrd will live forever in our hearts. ❤🙏

Yes, I cried. No, I will NEVER forget!

Billy actually began as a sessions key boardist but Ronnie was so impressed with his playing that he invited him to join the band.

r.i.p Ronnie van zant💯

Very emotional speeches ...You can tell how Billy Powell and Artymus Pyle were trying just deal with having to be around Teressa Gaines and Judy..Class act speeches from Arty and Ed King and ..God bless

BEST BAND EVERY LOVE ME SOME SKYNRD

Great families... Love these people!

I've been a die hard. Skynyrd fan since the beginning and have a special love for ronnie .I believe in the afterlife so ronnie was there during this honor and very proud of his bandmates.

Most underrated band ever!

Love you! Been a fan since 77

It's hard to believe that Ed, Billy, Bob, and Gary have since joined Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Allen and Leon in the hereafter.

Lynyrd Skynyrd R.I.P. To all who have died, Gary Rossington we all love and miss you.❤❤

Umm- Gary wasn't running anywhere from that crash- he had many broken bones, including his pelvis... I believe you're thinking of Artemis. Ronnie and Steve died instantly on impact, there was nothing anyone could do. If you're gonna hate someone, at least do it for real reasons.

R.I.P. Ed King.

wow at first i didn't think they were going to talk about the boys, now I'm happy.

Peace and Love ☮️💟🎶🎵🎶🎭🥁🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎻🎻🎻

So deserving of the induction

Man they just had a killer chemistry! and it's just a dam shame what happened, no matter who is to blame it happened. and hopefully we will have answers one day because there is no answers among the living, I've played guitar most of my life and these guys inspired the hell out of me..stevie Ray would have quite a run for his money with Steve gains, and rip..stevey as well..hope there lickin and pickin together on the other side 🤠😎😎

Artimus is a class act. God bless them all.

I think the band members were giving a slap in the face after the crash!!Ronnie was the main man but after all it wound not been possible without the other band members 🥺I hope things were made right w them at some point god bless all🙏🏻💙

Lynyrd Skynyrd is a religion. It's a way of life. If you're from the South, you either get it, or ya dont. 🇺🇸 If the South woulda won, we'da had it made....

My favorite band!!!!

RVZ Forever!

there music has stood.the Test of Time ROCK ON.....brothers

ride high freebirds💯💯💯

Artimus Pyle is an awesome guy.

Nice to see them all cordial together..

Artimus representing the eagle globe and anchor. Nice!

Who really cares about the rock and roll hall of lame, All of the great singer's songwriters and bands will always be remembered in our hearts and minds. 🤪🇺🇲

Sad to know that Gary Rossington and Artimus Pyle are the only classic members still alive. Edit: Since I know someone will bring it up Rickey Medlocke and Greg Walker were pre-crash members too and are still alive, but they were only in the band for about a year and only appear on some demos and outtakes, and never performed on a studio album before the crash hence they aren't considered "classic members", but if you wanna count them as pre-crash members then that's fine.
