I love their old music, and I love Ricky Metlock, but this band really needs to give it up.

I don't get why they still bill themselves as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Only Rossington is left out of the original 7.

[JBailey23]

to quote a dude in my college class...they sound like a southern nickelback now...they really need to give up the skynyrd name and stop cashing in on it...would the others would've like that?

[guitarsftw]

Good to see "Gimme Back my Bullets" on the tracklist. Underrated song.

[rebel rocker]

Im a huge Skynyrd fan, love everything they put out, see them every time they come around on tour, but im a little disappointed at the details about this album. I mean really, 3 years to put out a live cd/dvd? That’s a bit excessive, even for post production of a dvd. The track order is a little uncharacteristic opening with “Travelin’ Man” and “Workin” and having “Tuesday’s Gone” and “Red, White, and Blue” back to back, but unusual can be good. If they follow the same concert style they’ve been doing for a number of years, tracks 7-9 will be a medley of those songs, a good taste of them playing the tracks live, but not the full songs. One big plus for this though is that, being from 2007, it will feature both recently deceased bass player Ean Evans (Their second bass player) and original pianist Billy Powell. Even if you don’t like Skynyrd, there’s something wrong with you if you don’t think Billy’s live version of “Free Bird’ is beautiful.

*edit* tracks 6-9 will be a medley

I love the original Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band masquerading as Lynyrd Skynyrd now, I don't like.

[Altitudinous]

These guys are still good, i know they don't sound a lot like original Skynyrd but they wanna keep the good name of skynyrd alive! it would be weird if they changed their name now. im psyched to hear this!

And they don't sound like southern nickelback. Nickelback will never have ANYTHING on skynyrd.

[Bhaok]

Rock N roll!!!

I agree but I'm obligated to buy this. My cousin is Peter Keys... I'm serious.

Actually... Medlocke was the drummer in the band before they got famous. They should've called the album "Beating a Dead Horse".

[camaross427]

They still kick ass...the way i see it their are 3 original members..

rossington (obviously)

johnnie -he's close enough

rickey medlocke- he was in the band when it started as a drummer, came back 15 years or so ago as a guitarist...so i think that counts

plus they still make good music, and carry the skynyrd flag. They may have changed...but bands need to change, or else everything will sound the same after a while.
They still stand for what skynyrd has always stood for, good southern rock.

[Tarsplitter]

Wow, non-metal news!

[wyldeshredder]

to camaross427; wont the original bassist be on here as well, if its from /07?
saw them last year at bluesfest in ottawa, was a great show

[Donald258]

I think Lynyrd Skynyrd is the best band ever... but the new band just aint the same as the old one. i think any song pre 1977 is awesome. but the new band has some good songs but i think two many people are wanting them to sound like the old L.S. and they dont.. i think they would be a good band if they changed there name cause there obliviously living in the old Lynyrd skynyrds shadow. even when i listen to them i still listen for old lynyrd skynyrd sound and i kinda get dissiponted...but thats just my opinion everybody has there own...and they need to bring back Artmus Pyle and Ed King then mabey they might be able to call themselves Lynyrd Skynyrd and like Artmus Pyle said in an interview "Ronnie Van Zant was Lynyrd Skynyrd" and i agree without Ronnie lynyrd skynyrd WILL NOT BE THE SAME EVER even if u bring back Allen, Billy, Ed, Steve and Leon it still just would't be the same

[FearOfTheDuck]

Its not Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[JY-Rasputin]

No van Zant, No Skynyrd either.. That is Ronnie van Zant I mean

[CrazyPigeon]

I love their new album. It reminds me heavily of Black Stone Cherry.

[RockUAway]

Wow, ANOTHER new album. What the **** seriously. 1 live album is enough, the only reason a band should make another is for different tracks or unless they completley re-arrange a the style of a song.

that's true also, i believe so

[CaliforniaKid]

So they're on the "Hannity Freedom Concert" tour.... supporting the Right-wing Fox News pundit that hates everything and anything President Obama does. I think they're due for another plane crash.

[aig91]

Checked

[bobhat2001]

How can a person wish that on anyone just because of their political views? Is that not what our country is based on? I know something about RED, WHITE, and BLUE, maybe you can guess the rest!!!!
