The fans have always been there for us, and they've realized when we were going through a hard time.
From Johnny Van Zant
The last thing we want to do is disappoint the fans.
They're great songs. How many bands wouldn't like to have a 'Freebird' or 'Sweet Home Alabama' to play every night?
Skynyrd's not just a band; I think it's a lifestyle. It's iconic.
That's your end goal anyway, is to make the fans happy.
Everybody in Lynyrd Skynyrd loves different styles of music, and our minds are very open when it comes to writing our songs and making the band true to what the band is, but also stepping out and doing something current.
Two of my favorite bands, Blackberry Smoke and Black Stone Cherry, I just think both of those bands are a good new progressive kind of Southern Rock that's a little different than us but still has a rootsy thing going on.
Johnny Colt is a character, and most people in Lynyrd Skynyrd are characters, so he fits in great with us. He's got an attitude, man, and I love it, and that's what we need.
We've done shows with Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr., Montgomery Gentry, Shooter Jennings.
I didn't know if Skynyrd fans were going to throw rocks at me or eggs or what.
