Peaceful01 from United States Of AmericaMost people know that the 'True' Lynyrd Skynyrd band had quite a few names prior to establishing, and keeping the name 'Lynyrd Skynyrd,' which, I think, is the most unique name, not to mention how emotionally powered, as well as it having a special meaning to them: a personal meaning behind it! One of the names the band had was 'One Percent,' they recorded a song called 'Michelle.' Ronnie wrote this song for his first born daughter, Tammy Michelle VanZant.Just like Nirvana opened to door for all the other grunge bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd was the catalyst for southern rock in the 70’s (with all due respect to The Allman Brothers Band, they were straight great rock). I grew up in Florida, Skynyrd was always on the radio. It just goes to show you like Ted Nugent said, that organization is a joke. Joe from Plant City, Florida Five tries before they made it to The Rock & Roll HOF.Said he just remembered sliding down a pine tree as flames were all around. Was by brother's girlfriend's Cousin that stayed with them a few days in Columbus. He had fallen off the wagon and started getting crazy, but one night while everyone was in the studio, he walked in with a very large check from MCA! "So where're we eating tonight, Bob?" said bass player.Īlso met a roadie that survived the plane crash. "Yeah, sure, Bob," they'd joke, not really believing him. from band members, claiming MCA still owed him royalties and he'd square up some day.
Months later in Atlanta, Bob was often bumming meals, etc. However, Biff, a good guitarist, took on the job. Biff said "The key part of that is "used to be", and everyone but Bob laughed. Bob said I should consider that he used to be with Skynyrd.
I declined offer to become Hot Pockets sound man as me and a friend, Biff, sat with band between sets. One girl leaped straight up onto the griddle where our burgers were cooking, screaming and stomping her feet, as two officers began taking notice of us. Almost got us arrested at a Krystal when he used pretty good ventriloquist skills to scare female workers into believing there was a large rat under the counter. Said he was once in one of the "greatest rock bands of all time, and I'll be back some day". Became angry when I suggested maybe it was fate that he quit Skynyrd before the plane crash. Said several doctors told him he would literally die if he ever used any drug again bacause he had "ruined his central nervous system" by mixing tons of drugs for years. Would not drink one beer or take one toke in 1979. He was totally on the wagon at the time, but detailed wild stories of Skynyrd days. He rode with me from the band house to get eats after a gig at Dee Fords in Columbus, where I was sound man/DJ. Joe Gnann from Columbus, GaMet Bob Burns when he played with Hot Pockets in 1979.Laurie Wingo from Atlanta, GaAll time world favorite.
