Love That Gary , Cared About The ACTUAL TRUTH, ENUFF TO SET "The Record Straight!!😏 Also, Lookin Out For His Skynyrd Brother!!.. Even To His Last Breath!! 😒
glad gary did this for rickey,....i was once ignorant about this too,...before internet back in the 80s/ 90s......i know have a huge admiration for rickey,.blackfoot was AWESOME,.....rickey is a super super nice person,...and a super talent.
I know this, and have gotten into a many arguments about Ricky being in the band at the beginning and the Curtis Lowe song being about Ricky`s Grandfather. I have know this since I bought the album First and Last in like 80 or 81. The worst fights have over the Curtis Lowe song. People are so close minded and thick headed. ha
@@johnsmith-ug5tp Rossington Collins band was the best and closest to the original skynyrd without Ronnie and Artimus that I was blessed to see. I appreciated that they were trying to do another original project and that first album was awesome with Dale Krantz. you are correct though, when Ronnie died so did LS ..... I wasn't aware of the jealousy Allen had for Steve.. I thought they worked great together on stage.. even better than Allen with Gary .... all three guitarists during that time were amazing though and it is truly sad how the world was robbed of whatever future work could have been created.
Ricky was there and Ronnie love to listen to shorty. Jacksonville was a tight group. Duane Allman taught Don Felder slide and Don taught Tom Petty how to play guitar. Larry from 38 special was in Skynyrd for a while too. Skynyrd evolved almost every album for various reasons. I have said the music was greater than anyone member. Kind of like Mozart no one complains if he is not playing in the orchestra when his music is performed, Had Skynyrd not continued few today would be influenced enjoying the music.
Are you from Jacksonville??? I was born and raised there and my daddy was kind of well known..his name was Richie Richards...or Richie Roach. You ever heard that name
Great comparison with Mozart. Never could understand the animosity directed to those that keep LS music alive. Just enjoy the songs you love. Thx Johnny for your great respect and humble attitude. A credit to you and Rickey. We will all miss Gary but keep the music going. Ronnie would be PROUD
Even though I have only been listening too and attending the shows of this band since 1974 I feel as if I am an original band member too. it's been a long winding road we have traveled together
Rickey is a major part of the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd then and now. Skynyrd evolved from the beginning until 77. Then from 87 until now but the music and the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd has stayed true.
awesome Ricky!!!! Right from Gary!!!!! You know Ricky, people always want to try to belittle people.. Only way they can make themselves look better is by putting other people down. NEVER LET THESE minions out there get in your head. Your 110% Skynrd through and though. Have a great week brother!!!
Rickey was in the band then drumming. On the album called Skynyrds first and last . There is a song on this album that Rickey wrote and sang called seasons. It’s one incredible tune, it’s beautiful and timeless. Anybody would never know what era it’s from. It’s one of my favorite songs of all time. I absolutely love 💕 it. It’s a hellova piece of work from Rickey and the guys in skynyrd . If you haven’t heard it, then give it a listen 🎧 Little on the mellow side but it’s still a awesome classic✨✨ 🌤🌪⛈🌈☃️☔️☀️❄️💦🌸🪐he also wrote and sang white dove 🕊 which is great. Greg walker is also on this album playing bass (bass for Blackfoot to).
People need to just stop hating on Rickey! As Gary said, Rickey WAS an original, he's now the ONLY "original" left. He's a good drummer, singer and Guitar player.
Rivky is on first and last album and if you watch. The autobiography if i leave here tomorrow Ricky is on there. Saying he was in the band. Felt time wasnt right. Now he feels its right
Anybody who knows the history of this band knows this. God bless Rickey and Gary may you RIP but somehow since almost the whole band is together that probably won’t be possible. Your brothers and sisters have been waiting for you. 😊
I have no way of contacting Rickie other than a platform like this and all I really wanted to tell him is that he is a monster musician and sadly the HOF is becoming a joke. I was lucky enough to see Blackfoot back in the early 80's and those guys were tight, epically tight. Medlocke can sing something fierce and has that immediately recognizable timbre. One of my all time favorite albums is Highway Song Live recorded in the UK. It needs to be remastered and reissued. Props to you Rickie Medlocke.
@@johnu2117 too cool! I saw him with Blackfoot back in the mid 80's, they opened for Molly Hatchet. Blackfoot just killed it! I've always loved Southern Rock even tho I'm a U.P. of Michigan boy.
There are many bands who had other members, before during and after fame. This is Gary y'all, if you are going to disrepect him and stick to you negitive beliefs about the truth, thats on you. Shame on you. As far as the RRHF, they can piss off.
Sometimes it's not so much about who was there since the very beginning. It's about the impact someone had. I mean, they had musicans before him. However, no one came close to him
RIP Gary. Yeah I don't get the BS against Ricky. Obviously if you follow the band you can see he was there from the beginning and was a lifelong friend of all the bandmates. Ricky stepped up in a tough role and has played his heart out for us fans for years. Gary also endured so much crap for continuing with "HIS BAND". Gary, Bob & Larry had already started and then Ronnie joined. Gary had every right to continue Skynyrd and play the music he created with Allen, Ed & Steve (RIP to them all) We were privileged to hear this great music live for many years. What a shame if Gary hadn't picked up the torch and forged on. People like Gene Odom & Judy Van Zant should go sit down and be quiet. Neither one of them had anything to do with the great music these men made. RIP Gary, Ronnie, Allen, Bob, Billy, Ed, Steve, Leon, Cassie, Dean
Rickey has always been totally awesome and a part of the band from jump. 💯💯💯
He Sure Was Gary ✊🏻😌🙏
God Bless SKYNYRD
Love That Gary , Cared About The ACTUAL TRUTH, ENUFF TO SET "The Record Straight!!😏 Also, Lookin Out For His Skynyrd Brother!!.. Even To His Last Breath!! 😒
Thank you for saying so. Ricky is definitely worth more than a nod, he’s fantastic! Huge Blackfoot fans too! Rock in Peace Gary!
glad gary did this for rickey,....i was once ignorant about this too,...before internet back in the 80s/ 90s......i know have a huge admiration for rickey,.blackfoot was AWESOME,.....rickey is a super super nice person,...and a super talent.
This was classy of him to do. RIP.

@@captainbarn I totally agree. Nice you were able to see RCB.
Thanks for posting this great to hear it straight from Gary
AMEN BROTHA GARY .. I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS
RIP boss!!! Miss you!!!
i been arguin for years wit people bout mr medlocke bein a original member,,

Jacksonville was a tight group. Duane Allman taught Don Felder slide and Don taught Tom Petty how to play guitar.

he was a part of the history of lynyrd skynyrd... but not a major part
God Bless You, Gary! Thank-you for telling the truth!! Half these folks have NO CLUE!! May you always R I P! IMU like the rest of the guys!😢
Saw Ricky with Blackfoot in South Dakota in the 80's. Helluva show. Lots of Southern Comfort, herb, etc. Those were the days.
Don’t fret it man, controversy keeps things in front ..from a fellow wyomingite
Hell, he was there before Artimus
Yupper...and, he takes this shit w/dignity! Even though he doesn't have to!!
No one said Artimus was an original member. He was on the plane when it crashed.
awesome Ricky!!!! Right from Gary!!!!! You know Ricky, people always want to try to belittle people.. Only way they can make themselves look better is by putting other people down. NEVER LET THESE minions out there get in your head. Your 110% Skynrd through and though. Have a great week brother!!!
Anyone who has followed the band's actual history understands that Rickey Medlocke belongs in the legacy.
Lend A Helpin Hand is one of my favorite tracks💙 Rest In Peace Gary
“Seasons”
guitar by Gary, Ricky on vocals.
So sad you isn't here anymore....
Ricky is same as you one of Music Foundations , you both walked the same Way.
❤ Beautiful Saund ❤ Love Gary ❤❤❤

Rickey is one bad mofo! Love his stuff!
Straight out The man’s mouth. Shout out from NC, it was awesome to c ya on stage in Raleigh NC recently. Stay safe my brotha

I saw Ricky and the boys and girls at bush gardens tampa 3 weeks ago and he played with passion and was killing it the whole bans was!
@@johnu2117 too cool!
I saw him with Blackfoot back in the mid 80's, they opened for Molly Hatchet. Blackfoot just killed it!
I've always loved Southern Rock even tho I'm a U.P. of Michigan boy.
damn right! At the beginning and a original!!!
and Blackfoot kicked ass as well !
Boy, i feel better
Is there even audio of rickey on drums?
Check out LS "the complete muscle shoals album", There are quite a few tracks with ricky on drums and also singing too.
He's on Street survivors "one more time"
There are many bands who had other members, before during and after fame. This is Gary y'all, if you are going to disrepect him and stick to you negitive beliefs about the truth, thats on you. Shame on you. As far as the RRHF, they can piss off.
i get it, he was around inthe beginning. but most think originals they think of the guys you hear on Pronounced,Second helping, nothing fancy ect.
R I P Gary Rickey Medlocke is one cool cat I would like to meet him someday
Sometimes it's not so much about who was there since the very beginning. It's about the impact someone had.
I mean, they had musicans before him. However, no one came close to him
Can someone confirm the first free bird demo was rick on drums? Thought I saw that on collectybles maybe not sure
Bob played on Free bird demo
One year ago today the world lost a musical legend #garyrossington #rip #fypyoutube
