I'm probably the wrong person to be replying, since I think Skynyrd epitomizes all that's gone wrong with music and music fans over the past 30 years.
Bunch of talentless hacks churning out the same two songs with marginally different lyrics . . . the next time I hear "Free Bird," I swear, I'm gonna jam my keys into the eyes of whoever played it.
Jeez, do I ever HATE that damn song.
LOL...........I like 'em, but I can't argue with your take on Skynyrd's "Freebird": bombastic, overblown, overrated, cliche'-ridden crap. Ask any of us rock guitarists what the running joke is for ANY cover band....and we'd ALL agree with your "keys jammed into their eyes" thing.
BTW.......how's mom?????
Can you give me some examples?
Freebird is a well done song.
And it teaches a valuable lesson. If you do something with energy and conviction, it is entertaining.
Ever listen to limbaugh's replacement guests ? The content is the same, but the energy level is not.
Freebird is energetic and that is good enough.
What song it that you want to hear?
You know, I think I understand how you feel. I can't listen to almost any classic rock anymore. It's not that it's bad, but I've heard it all about a gazillion times. I've been listening to a whole lotta Nine Inch Nails lately, which at least sounds fresh to me.
Just the way I hate anything done by Journey.
And almost everything by the Beatles.
