As a huge Skynyrd fan I really appreciate this reaction. Best tribute song ever

It still brings tears to my eyes when I listen to this song.

THE BEST EVER TRIBUTE SONG EVER WRITTEN . PERIID

There was Ronnie he was the original lead singer for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Donnie is the middle son he is with 38 Special which is another great Southern rock group and there is Johnny he did have a solo career and when they decided to try do a Skynyrd reunion tour Gary and I think Billy talked Johnny into taking in the lead singer role he was afraid he would not be able too fill Ronnie’s shoes and they told him there could not anyone else do it. This is a great tribute to Ronnie and Melody is Ronnie’s daughter

I feel like so many people give Johnny grief for taking Ronnie's place, but he the only one I feel who could. When they got back together in the 80's I think it healing to the survivors to continue what was torn away so suddenly. The song is like a letter to Ronnie so powerful and gut wrenching

I think most of us have that someone we have lost and can totally relate.

🎸💯 Brickyard Road is VERY special‼🔥 BizMatik, thank you for this emotional reaction/tribute‼ My oldest sister was murdered when she was 30 & I was 20. My parents are both gone, too. I've spent a very long time waiting for the holes in my heart & soul to heal from the loss of them. What I've learned is it NEVER happens! It may become a little less "raw" but it's ALWAYS there. 😢

Thank you for doing this song it brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it

WOW!!!!!....Never thought this song would ever hit a reaction channel. ...thx man...LYNYRD SKYNYRD forever.

Johnny's a great singer. Probably the only one that could have fronted Skynyrd after Ronnie, who was the best song writer in the Southern Rock genre, IMO. No shame in getting emotional. Nice reaction BizMatik... 😎

Johnny had a solo career in the early 80s before he did the Skynyrd thing. This was his last solo album after the Skynyrd Tribute tour in 87-88 before the Skynyrd gig became permanent. He has also done 4 albums with his brother Donnie (of the band 38 Special) under the band name Van Zant May I suggest 38 Special - Rebel To Rebel as another Skynyrd Tribute song

Yes, I agree with you…JVZ is extremely talented!! I’ve heard him live more times than I can count over the years and he never disappoints! In fact, he’s one of my favorite artists! Ronnie would be so proud of his little brother…I’m sure he is! He does RVZ justice taking over Skynyrd! ❤️🥰

The lyrics, and especially the video is very emotional for me, too. That was Lacy and Marion Van Zant in the video, too, their parents.

THANK YOU.. I believe i sent this to you..... as a Florida Rocker. LS was the soundtrack of my life. Donnie VZ is the lead singer of 38 special. Im so appreciative of seeing this as we lost the last of the Street Survivors the other day Gary Rossington. Again Thank you Biz You are the best

Thanks so much for covering this one!! Much love, Brother!!

Johnie and Donnie from 38 special did an album called VanZant , check out a song (official video ) of a song called "Help somebody" 👍 Donnie plays guitar and share vocals. All these brothers bleed southern rock

A song where you can actually FEEL it ! It tears me up not only thinking about RVZ and my loved ones falling asleep but also about some inevitable future deaths ! Great review and choice !

I live about 5 miles from Brickyard road. we used to hang out down there too. its not too special, just a place in the middle of nowhere by the railroad tracks and a lake. Just a place to hang out and enjoy your friends.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs! I wish he would’ve done it live when I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd with him.

Little Melody tagged along. Ronnies daughter. Heartwrenching.

Oh that 55 Chevy in the song........Johnny has it restored in his garage and it sounds amazing

Great reaction biz those boys were the truth 🔥

Love this bro. Makes me think of my mom and dad. Lost my dad in 2014 and my mom in 2019

I love this song

Johnnie recently restored Ronnie truck you see in the video. Those were their parents shown walking by the truck. This song is also on one of the Van Zant albums.

GoD bless AMERICA n U brother for this

Brickyard Road is where they was raised and their parents lived now someone has bought it and has turned it into a tourist B&B

This is the first time I've heard this. I honestly don't think I could get through it if it was about my sister. She's is my best friend. I couldn't go on without her. The crazy part of it is we almost lost her 3 times. Literally almost died 3 times. Thank God it wasn't her time to go. This was a beautiful song and I'm glad I listened. Thanks! Peace!

Loved your reaction

Johnny had his own band JVZ band prior to taking over Skynyrd.He and brother Donnie from 38 Special have released a couple of country albums as Van Zants You should check that out too.Especially the videos

Donnie is a good singer and musician as well

Beautiful song! Very touching. Hey - I’ve missed you!!!

The younger brother Donnie Van Zant is a member of 38 Special, a very popular and successful southern rock band. Jimmie Van Zant has a tribute song "Ronnie's Song" it's powerful too. I also listened to Cashbox- Topic, tribute song to Van Zant a tribute to Ronnie Van Zant. Its really good too. I hope you gett a chance to listen t o them. Loved, loved, loved your review Brickyard Road. Never heard it before.

I love skynyrd and have met Johnny on a few occasions most recently was at the memorial in ms.

brickyard road runs to Dr's Lake in their neck of woods . their now is a park dedicated to him not far from there

Brother let me tell you something... I've been sitting here tonight watching Brick Yard Road and different videos that people has put together To Honor and Remember Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Legend Ronnie Van Zant and I was thinking about how much I'd love to see someone react to this song and I promise I started scrolling through KZfaq and your I ran upon your reaction and Im sitting here trying to type with tears in my eyes and you see I was Jamming Lynyrd Skynyrd when I was just 10 years old and in that time before the plane crash was Some of my best days ever as being one of there biggest fans and all the good memories that they were part of in my life growing up . Just having there music to listen to is Absolute Gold for me and Thank you so so much for reacting to this song .

Another Johnny Van Zant song to check out would be I'm A Fighter. It features Marvelous Marvin Hagler in the video

The man with the white hair and the white beard is Lacy Van zant Ronnie, Johnny and Donnie Van Zants father

Ronnie's shoes (ironically) were too big to fill, but little brother did his best, and we're all better for it. This is a great song, can't help but get a little teary every time I hear it.

Hello BizMatik, since I've found your channel, I switch between your old reactions. I like your open ear and mind. You're right, music has no colour, just soul. :Cunnie Williams So, I have a present for you, a special record, from 1974 or something, to react on the complete album, or special pieces on it. Try to listen not before. 😉 SUPERMAX : World of today 🇨🇭👍

Dammit now I'm crying

johnny did not have much of a solo thing at all.this was his biggest hit for his brother ronnie.donnie has had great sucess with a band called 38 special until he retired years ago but the band keeps going.thanks for for showing that not all brothers dont just listen to rap!!!

👍 👍 👍 Sometimes I think all my dead people still walk along side me. I like to share a glass with them :) 🍻 🤟

i am surprised you haven't covered or listened to ronnie's daughter do her song called freebirds child

also just so your know brickyard road is were they grew up as a family!!

☮️💜

When you get into 38 Special there are 2 sides to the band. Donnie Van Zant sings the gritty southern rock stuff and Don Barnes sings the AOR radio stuff. I'm much more partial to the Van Zant songs like Back On The Tracks, Stone Cold Believer, Bring It On and Rebel To Rebel

The old man is his father Lacy

Listen to red white and blue

HEY BROTHER LETS GO DEEEP N SOUTHERN ROCK... SKYNYRD SPEAKS 4ITSELF.. LETS DO MOLLY HATCHET ALSO... THE RAMBLER AND FLIRTIN W DISASTER... LOVE THA VIBE IM N

The last surviving member Gary Rossington died today 3/8/2023 may he R.I.P.
