indeed... anything and everything about RVZ gets my attention... His lyrics and vocal deliveries have and will be with me for the rest of my natural born life...
Thank you, Ronald, for doing a nice job with this interview and respecting his wishes to include the reference to his upcoming memoir. This was actually conducted on Friday, October 18, 2019. Paul had flown to the New Orleans airport where he was then driven over one hundred miles by car to McComb. He was not yet unpacked and settled into his hotel room when this interview was given. Thus it is understandable that he's winded. He was the most critically injured survivor of the plane crash. You will notice a slight smile when he first remembers Ronnie. True, Ronnie had high standards however Paul was never in any way intimidated or afraid of him. Thank you to all of the viewers who had kind words to say about Paul and this interview.
Bless you Paul. Brother Ronnie was intense, thoughtful, respectful, mindful of others, kept his lyrics in his head and would fight you if you disrespected him. That’s my boy.
@@dev...5150 you are so lucky to live near Jacksonville. I would love to see Ronnie Van Zant's grave. I am sure you have been & what does it feel like seeing it?
@@anndaniels3545 In all honesty it's just a grave... if you want to feel Ronnie get out in quiet lake and cast a line... That's where he loved to be when not with the band...
I am in a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band "Almost Skynard" the formation of our band came from the love of their music and as a result we perform every song with heart-felt feeling. People tell us, we remind them of the old Lynyrd Skynyrd. I guess that's because we are close to the age of the original members. This is a fantastic video and thanks for publishing it.
While I fully understand your wanting more and I'm with ya on that... clearly Paul was having health difficulties and I think the interviewer did a fine job of recognizing that...
I gave a thumbs up to every commenter but one... not that I don't appreciate Warren Haynes though... but yeah... lol Thanks to the interviewer for getting a few words from someone that was there when it mattered... Ronnie will forever be my favorite singer song writer...
Been up and down since I turned seventeen... Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream... But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday... Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way...
Ronnie was.a role model to me.even though he made mistakesshe wrote songs about the dangers of drinking and drugs which kept me on the straight and narrow
Yep a true "Alpha" male who hated hand guns & didn't like people misinterpretating "Gimme Me Back My Bullets" as ammo & not recording bullets. 😉 ruclips.net/video/GpVg3JsoX34/видео.html
I love skynard. Great mesmerizing live shows. I met them at a bar on Fort Lauderdale Beach where I was playing in The Ross Emery Band. Post plane crash ,78,79,ish. They were real nice to me. They were Rossington Collins Band by this time. It bums me out to know some of them chose alcohol and violence and we're injured badly. The airplane rental was a bad call. It's a damned shame.
Doing sound for LS and esp RVZ was no easy task...to sound like the record you baught in a hockey arena is a large undertaking....not many bands do...volume hiss buzz etc....thanx paul roadie stv NY PA shows
Please read my extensive comment up above which explains why Paul was tired and winded. He wasn't ill during this interview. Just tired after traveling so long.
I said God bless Paul he didn't even get settled in his hotel room and they took him off to McComb Mississippi to do an interview??? I mean you couldn't have gone to his hotel and did it there ??? God bless Paul!!! God bless Lynyrd Skynyrd and Ronnie Van Zant
I can just amagine what like was like at the Vanzandt home when Ronnie and his younger brothers Donnie and Johnny were growing up,im sure he was thier idol,bet they got in to alot of scraps with other local kids lol.
Was one of the fortunate ones to have been hanging out in those Atlanta bars where Al Kooper first heard and signed Skynyrd. I grew up just a couple of miles down the road from where the cover photo's on Pronounced were taken. Skynyrd was not the first band Kooper signed to his Sounds Of The South label. I suppose it's lost on Al but he never mentions Mose Jones and the fact that Skynyrd opened for them. Mose Jones recorded two albums on the label and were one of the most popular Atlanta bands at the time. A four piece group that could hold their on in live settings with any act in town. skynyrd
I know all Lynyrd Skynyrd fans appreciate this video, God Bless this Man. 🇺🇸
indeed... anything and everything about RVZ gets my attention... His lyrics and vocal deliveries have and will be with me for the rest of my natural born life...
Yes I as well will be a groupie for life. Anything & everything SKYNYRD in my soul...

Great interview
What a lovely guy.
How can you have a first hand survivor and someone who personally knew Ronnie and ask about Ronnie and give him 3 minutes to speak.
While I fully understand your wanting more and I'm with ya on that... clearly Paul was having health difficulties and I think the interviewer did a fine job of recognizing that...
It amazes me how me never wrote a lyric down. Ya ain't gotta be no college boy to be brilliant
@@johndalessandro6433damn riiight
Thank you for this ! ❤️
Awesome guy!
I gave a thumbs up to every commenter but one...
not that I don't appreciate Warren Haynes though... but yeah... lol
Thanks to the interviewer for getting a few words from someone
that was there when it mattered...
Ronnie will forever be my favorite singer song writer...
Hope your doing well today Paul, would love to meet ya!
I miss him so much ❤
THE GOAT SINGER SONG WRITER.
Andy / goat singer I love it!
Tell all those pencil pushers they better get out of my way.

Been up and down since I turned seventeen...
Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream...
But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday...
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way...
@@dev...5150 yes that's right
WOW.....just WOW...
Ronnie was.a role model to me.even though he made mistakesshe wrote songs about the dangers of drinking and drugs which kept me on the straight and narrow
Ronnie was great, he was also a true alpha male who was known to mix it up with others if he felt disrespected (nothing wrong with that)
@Melvin Brown well!!!
He was a piece of shit hillbilly idolozed by other hillbilly bigots🖕🖕
Yep a true "Alpha" male who hated hand guns & didn't like people misinterpretating "Gimme Me Back My Bullets" as ammo & not recording bullets. 😉 ruclips.net/video/GpVg3JsoX34/видео.html
God bless you man, I cant imagine what you been through
No Doubt, Ronnie was the Boss! The Leader of the Group. As long as there's a "Van Zant" Fronting 🎤 The Band. There will always be a "Lynyrd Skynyrd"
I love skynard. Great mesmerizing live shows. I met them at a bar on Fort Lauderdale Beach where I was playing in The Ross Emery Band. Post plane crash ,78,79,ish. They were real nice to me.

Respect 🫡
Ronnie was "Big Poppa".

This guy is cool but still afraid of Ronnie.
I don't blame him.
That made me chuckle.
Paul was in no way intimidated or afraid of him.
i came from instagram
The guy clearly wasn't well...
Of course if you had fallen
20,000 feet out of the sky & into a swamp, you might not think real clear as well.
It was only 10,000 feet
@@lpattenaude1716 Who's really counting 10,000, 20,000?? Either way sucks!!
@@lpattenaude1716 Only 10,000?
Even 100 feet is too much for any human being
40’ killed a man that I knew. Rest In Peace Ralph. You were the most underrated pest control man in the world!

As I said above he was approached outside of his hotel. He was in McComb when this interview was conducted.

Until the Suits at MCA had the bands come to LA..RVZ writes MCA for that occasion and blew the roof of the place early 74..mose Jones who
The opposite of Johnny VZ.
True
Whats to thumbs down about that ya dummy,guy tells it like it was and is
When you're young like 21,22 and rvz was 4 or 5 yrs older then of course he's going to be the boss figure
Ronnie was 12 years older than his brother
Donnie and 5 - 7 yrs
Older than Johny.
Play some Skynyrd
Free Bird!
Turn it up
Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?
Play it pretty for Atlanta
"What song is it you wanna hear?"
what vocal effects did you use on sound mr welch ruclips.net/video/lA5FfKeZDBA/видео.html
RonnieVanZant is WarrenHaynes
Paul looks schmoked out
The only thing Paul is out of is breath. Such is the life of LynSkyn O.G. Monitor fixer
Not even unpacked and bombarded with questions, not much of an interviewer you!
