Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell | REACTION

[mitchellmarcus]

I have smelled that smell for sure. Last month July 16th I celebrated being clean and sober for nine years.

R.I.P. Gary Rossington. He was an awesome guitar player as well as the last surviving member of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s original lineup.

45 years later it's hard to believe how good the music still sounds. A lot of music from this era sounds dated, Lynyrd Skynyrd doesn't. No questions one of the best bands ever

[nickrandles]

My favorite Skynyrd song and damn near makes me cry every time because I’ve lived it. Been an addict on the verge of death a few times. I know that smell. 15 months sober and counting now

[ChristisKing-sg]

The guitar work on this whole album is a masterpiece

[goldenruletv]

Skynyrd is one of the best bands of all-time, period.

[GratefulZen]

Lot of great suggestions. You might like “The Ballad of Curtis Loew.”

This song was an intervention, 70s style.

Ronnie wrote this to Gary Rossington, the lead guitarist, after he crashed his car into an oak tree after binging on drugs & alcohol. This song was a message to straighten up before he dies from it.

Saw them in Fayetteville Arkansas 1976. Massive confederate flag. Stone sober before the concert. Worked at the concert for the University unloading/ loading semi's. Best band performance of my life. They were the best then and now. Absolutely well rehearsed and flawless.

[OaktownPirate]

“Oak tree, you’re in my way” is one of the best rock lyrics ever.

[mrnobody]

i believe this was Ronnie telling Gary Rossington to get his shit together after a car crash while in a altered state.

[mkwrockers]

This song was written about Gary Rossington, who was one of the bands' guitar players (he is the one playing the solo that starts at 4:37), wrapping his car around a tree while high on Quaaludes in 1976. Ironically, Gary is one of only two original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd still alive today.

He could sure get his point across. Such a gift for words.

[eltonholtjr.]

3 guitarist playing in unison, switching back and forth, never missing a lick. Great music.

[TNBadBoy]

Whiskey bottles...and brand new cars...Oak Tree you're in my way (One of the GREATEST lyrics EVER).
