You have people ask us how you get through all the stuff that Skynyrd's been through, and I think it's the music; it really is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's just that Skynyrd songs are timeless.
I think people relate to Skynyrd; it's a working class band. They're just songs with messages. To this day, there's never been a song written that didn't have a message.
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.
Some Lynyrd Skynyrd songs are literally the backdrop of America. Songs like 'Simple Man' and 'Free Bird' and 'Alabama.' I wasn't prepared for how emotional the crowd gets during the songs.
I was a Skynyrd fan all along. But I was also the brother of the lead singer who passed on. I just didn't want to do anything that would harm the band's name.
Music is like an open sky. You know it's out there... and there you are.
Skynyrd just hasn't gotten its just due.
We have to make a living, sure, but it's about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd and what it stands for, what the fans are all about.
It's the music that brings us together.
Skynyrd's not just a band; I think it's a lifestyle. It's iconic.
