3 strikes and your out...!

or 3rd time lucky...?

Not that he's their 3rd bassist in reality...

Ol' Reaperman, he keeps sweepin' round their door...

I saw them in '76 and '77 - still clearly remember the Friday the "original" news broke...  :sad:

I was working 11-7, I heard it sometime early in the morning, not sure of the time but it had just happened, not a good night.

Only Gary Rossington is left in the band of the original members.

They must have the record for dead members. Damn.

Rock On Rossington! Cool that your fav bassplayer is with 'em now, Basvarken!  8)

Their FREE BIRD DVD is AWESOME!!!!!!!

I was woken to the news... headed to college with the knowledge that the LP came out that day too and that 6 of 12 on board died and not knowing who had died... as prophetic a cover as I have ever seen... I still have that days newspapers... sad but true...
The Rossington Collins Band was scheduled to play London when Allen Collins' partner died - the dates were never rescheduled - I never returned the ticket...
Used to like Blackfoot too... 2 original Skynyrds... Ricky Medlocke has recorded more with Skynyrd than Ronnie, and he was one of the original drummers...
