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.

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.

When we are out on the road, running up and down the road playing shows, you have to be not only a member of a band but, especially with Lynyrd Skynyrd, you have to be a part of the Skynyrd nation. You have to be a part of the family.

I had a deal with CNN and had no intention of going back to the music business, but you know, it's Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I'm the kind of guy who grew up listening to Three Dog Night and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

When you grow up in Atlanta, joining Lynyrd Skynyrd is like joining the Rolling Stones.

I just got off stage playing with Lynyrd Skynyrd a minute ago. It was a great show. Got to meet some incredible guests. This is the bee's knees.

Skynyrd's not just a band; I think it's a lifestyle. It's iconic.

We always pay tribute to what the old Lynyrd Skynyrd has done - I'm very proud of that.

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.
