I'm a 30 you're all black man from Detroit Michigan n man I love this hit

Yes I was a fool. 38 yrs shooting Meth. I lost my life and my family. I've been clean. 2 yrs now God bless.

I’m 62 yrs old now, I’ve been listening to the original lynyrd skynrd since I was 15, and it is still legendary. One of the greatest bands ever.

With all the legends now gone, the memories and music remain. RIP Lynyrd Skynyrd, you're not forgotten and sorely fuckin' missed.

My mom died on 10/13/1977. We buried her in TN on 10/20/77, the next morning I heard about the plane crash. When we got back home my best friend had bought me this album (in the flames), and tickets to their next concert. By far my worst week ever. That smell, was my fav on the album, but I still get chocked up listening to I never dreamed. I really wanted that woman to come back home! The concert was Frampton, J. Geils, and Steve Miller. Good, but I really wanted LS. The albums not worth as much as people think (I wouldn't sell it anyway). Now I'm 62 years young, and nobody could replace my mom, or Skynyrd. Don't blame Ronnie's wife and brother for the tribute band. Younger gens get to see them. There will never be another Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!

100 Years from now people will still be Listening to SKYNYRD

This is likely one of the greatest songs of all time. It's truly mind blowing how good it is, every aspect of this song is legendary. I can literally listen to it ALL DAY.

RIP Gary! The group is now back together. ❤

RIP Gary Rossington.....all the shit you went thru, who would've thought you would've outlived all the originals..... Rest easy brother 🤘😎🤘

I’m 23 years old and I LOVE Skynyrd! They were absolutely one of the GREATEST bands to ever walk on this planet! Rip to all the original members. It’s so sad knowing they’re all gone. Would’ve loved to got the chance to see them live. Never been to a concert before but if they were alive they would definitely be my first

You can probably imagine how revolutionary LS sound was for a 13 yo in metro Atlanta in 1973, Awakening !!! Every member in the band had excellent talent, led by RVS. But, Gary was my favorite, such soulful, bluesy, whip cracking rock delivery. I felt the he was the center of the music, everyone else revolving around him with musical finesse. They were the apex of Southern Rock!!! We will miss him here, he loved his life here, but he is with those he has missed for so long. We still have their 🎼 🎶 😊

God bless skynyrd! Greatest southern rock band.

30 year old woman and still love this song...old times are the best ❤❤❤

Man, the riff starting at 2:23 is one of my all time faves… I could repeat it 24/7

My dad raised me on this music!! 2024 I'm 27 and playing this music for my son!! Keeping the tradition live n well

I'm 76 years old, and I've been fortunate to have been around to see and hear some of the greatest bands of all time...this is one of them. But as great as life is, remember, eternity is forever...

The guitar work especially at the end Is absolutly outstanding a really brilliant constructed track with some heavy lyrics that hits hard

I'm 52 and when I lost my momma, this band helped me get thru it and I grew up listening to this among other similar bands back then. Love this band, to me they are family as I grew up with them. Wouldn't change a thing.

They are all together now rest in peace legends

I’m 40 years clean from sobriety. 🔥

Mom and dad introduced me to these guys as a kid, still a staple in my classic southern rock taste. Been rocking since 96 keep on rockin.

“That Smell” (1977) - penned by Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins - is about guitarist Gary Rossington, who bought an automobile, got drunk and crashed into a tree, then a house (“Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars / Oak tree you’re in my way”). Lynyrd Skynyrd were supposed to start a tour in a few days, but they had to postpone it because of Rossington’s injuries. The drunk driver was fined $ 5,000* for holding up the tour. His drug and alcohol problems were badly affecting the group. Sadly, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and backup singer Cassie Gaines were killed in a plane crash a few days after Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1977 tour started. Eerily, some lyrics in “That Smell” refer to death, and the album cover (which had just been released) showed the musicians enveloped in 🔥 flame. 💙❕💜 May you rest in peace, Ronald Wayne Van Zant (1948 - 1977)… 🌹… Steven Earl Gaines (1949 - 1977)… 🌹… and Cassie LaRue Gaines (1948 - 1977)… 🌹 * Those $ 5,000 in 1977 would be worth about $ 25,000 in 2023‼️

RIP Gary Rossington… one of the best to ever play….

heart breaking song they were such a great band my heart goes out to family members family who have lost their loved ones

Shit hits different sober 😎

This song forever plays in my head all day

R.I.P Gary rossington I will forever cherish and admire your 🎸 work! You are now with you brothers for all eternity 😭💔

*Now I know what it means when old dudes say rock is dead nowadays🤣 this is so damn rockin'🤘*

One of my favourite songs of all time. That solo at the end is special. What a band.

Im 52 yrs old. Ive been jammg to Lynard Skynyrd since I was 9yrs old. Requested Simple Man to be played at my funeral dedicated to my Sons. Best band of all time. ❤

Im 17 yo from Southamerica and i love this type of music that looks like the local songs from my country long live to rock ❤

The 70's was awesome..! I lived through my teenage years in the 70's..! Bring back 😪 alot of "memories".

RIP Gary . What a player!

Skynyrd was at their best after Steve Gaines joined the band. Ronnie even said they'd all be in his shadow one day... sometimes you just can't help but wonder how great they would've been if the plane crash never happened.

If I could bring back anything from that year in '77 it would be they never got on that plane that day, we would be enjoying many more years of Skynyrd magic!!

They always sound like they are in the studio. One of the best rehearsed bands that I listen to ! Love this band!! RIP mules. ❤

One of the best songs ever, they were the greatest southern rock band Loved them

I bought this album when it came out, it was a Friday, listened to it all weekend, I went to school the following morning and heard over the PA system: The band Lynyrd Skynyrd has just died in a plane crash, needless to say I lost a step in my pace and was in shock "Oak tree you're in my way" lol!!!!

Man. That 🎸 is jus beautiful. Still played on radio. U did good fellas

I Love songs loaded with awesome guitar solos.

Rest in Peace Gary. Them were the days. The band is reunited.

One of the greatest three guitar assault songs of all time! They could have ended the song around the 3 min mark, but no! They gave us almost another 3 mins of sick solos, a verse, that chorus, and an ending triple solo! And that whistle right when they know they are going to keep it going! This song is seriously so sick!!!

I know every word to every song on this album. Still have the original fire cover, that I’ve safely put away.

R.I.P. Gary. Thanks for the memories.

Love the "My grass is blue" shirt

Will always be Legends in my world…was a sophomore in high school when the plane crash happened. Part of the sound track in my life…Will always love LS 🤘🏼🙌🏼

Never tire of this band ! Play their ICON cd all the way to TN (600 miles one way) and home just letting it play over and over and over...great road trip music. And, I'm 75 and still dancing. :)

RIP to the greatest southern rock bands everrrrrrr

Lord have mercy, each instrument bleeding together. Leon Wilkeson with that Bass!!!!

My first concert was LS. Takes me back. Thanks for sharing.

Lynyrd Skynyrd were getting better and better, this is my favorite song by them and then the master of reality had other plans.

I was in 8th grade art class that day in 1977 With the AM radio on and the plane crash news came in fast. Gary was severely injured. I'm surprised he made it this long. Allen Collins was too, but they are rocking in heaven now

A 30 year old black man just heard this for the first time and it came on while I drove through Kensington

Just Love this. Always have, always will.

"Tomorrow might not be here for you." This group feared that something might get them, but it was nothing they saw coming. I find this song relatable. Maybe you know that the sand is running to the bottom of your hourglass, but wonder how it'll play out.

I'm 52, still rocking to this good music, love it

Gary’s sound - that stanky, swampy tone he got from his Les Paul - IS the Skynyrd sound.

Im 60 and still makes me humble and want to keep on keeping on

A legend in their own time

Gary Rossington's death brought me here 🙏🏼 ....... listening from Oak Cliff, TX ♥️

This was and always will. Be great musical band Ronnie what a voice ....enjoy because this was a once in a lifetime band ..............

I’am from Ala. they loved coming here,sweet home.I saw them 7 times alway blew away other bands headlining. God blesss-- Roll tide

Top of the game. Miss'em all.

Steve, Alan, and Gary’s solo’s on this song are fantastic.

I’m 15 and I LOVE this!! I first heard it in the movie blow 2 or 3 years back and it still hits the same now as it did then!

A song that hits home for me.

One of the ultimate 70's bands...

I honestly like this song even more than "Free Bird" or "Sweet Home". This is byfar their heaviest song, and their inconsistent guitar licks add a bit of a progrssive rock vibe, which is very unique for this genre. This song is just absolutely perfect!

Lucky enough to see LS back in 1974 & 1975 with all original members. God blessed me..

AWESOME BAND...I GOT TOO SEE THEM IN 1987, ON THE REUNION TOUR.🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸💜💜

Just unbelievably fantastic

My dad was in Miami in the middle 1970’s and took the band water skiing classic ❤

That smell a true classic

Right on brother

Damn I miss playing guitar. I couldn't play this but it'd be a killer song to learn. Bust it out when you're wasted with the boys lol

🎸RIP Gary...Prince Charming 🎸

Yes I was a fool in the ‘70’s but just for a short time in my youth! Just enough to have a little fun! Never took it too far! Thanking God for that! You’re a fool youuuuu!

Grew up on these guys. Amazing band

some of their best all time solos - and there's a lot of them as we all know

It's insane how this album was released so close to the unfortunate plane crash

Steve absolutely killin it on this one!

I just heard Gary Rossington passed as away today 😢 R I P 🎸

RIP Skynyrd

At 64 I remember the crash like it was yesterday, 10/20/77. Lynrd Skynrd was my favorite band and no one played like they did. Even their record producer said, "It is such a pleasure to work with this band. They practice all the time and always ready to play. I am amazed how they play their songs live just exactly like they are on the record. Now that's talent." Steve, Alan and Gary just put it down and if this song don't get your heels clickin, nothing will. Fly on Freebirds, RIP Ronnie, Gary, Steve Leon, Alan, Billy, Cassie, Dean and all the rest. We will NEVER FORGET and will keep on DOWN SOUTH JUNKIN!

Love their music flashback

love this band, so sad there all gone

One of the best songs of all time.. underrated classic

I love Lynyrd Skynyrd

This song is beautiful it tells you the truth and lynard Skynyrd will always be remembered Cuz I been there before and I'm still here Classic Rock live on forever you can't stop the truth 💓🙏

I'm 65 now and have experience all that stuff and it still exists when it wasn't lace now for sorry for the young ones they don't know what a monkey on your back. Life is different now it's time to save the kids.❤
