    I listen to a variety of different music, mainly rock and roll and blues, and in the end this is the one band I always come back to because they're the perfect rock band, everything you need and nothing you don't. Ronnie was not only a great singer, he was also a very talented songwriter and one of the best frontmen cause he didn't have to jump around on stage yet had a very strong presence. They had not 1, not 2, but three kickass guitar players that each had their own distinctive style and sound. They had a piano player that was a madman, somewhere between Mozart and Jerry Lee Lewis. Truly great American music!

    Im a musician and i can see everything going on here in snaps of fingers. Steve had some real soul to his playing, a lot of blues licks in these fills. Just flawless playing and a lot of improv playing. Its also fun to watch Ronnie look at Steve’s playing and be in tune with it, that’s a connection only a musician can understand. Been there many times on stage.

    Steve Gaines is just lights out. Unbelievably great player. One of those guys who had a entirely unique way of making a guitar sound. For me, only a handful of guitar players really make a guitar sound like nobody else. Their sound is so distinct that you know it is them playing within a few notes...instantly, really. Steve is in that category for me. An all-time type of talent, and it is a GOD DAMN shame that he never got to flourish. How I wish for more from him...

    I remember when I was a youngster in Skynyrd were putting out some really good music. But I was a dead head so I would listen when my friends had them on! But when I got older. I started to listen to the lyrics and the music was great. And I would play them on guitar and listen to them when ever I could. Great Band. Unfortunately most of them died from liquor bottles hitting them in the head in a bad plane crash!!! What a shame man!!!!!!!!
