The first Lynyrd Skynyrd song I remember hearing was Tuesday's Gone in the movie Happy Gilmore.

 

It's amazing how easy they put together greatness
Mine is gimme three steps. I still love that song
But I just can't do free bird anymore
Played till the horse won't run no more

 

I love Free Bird. But I haven't heard it 1,000 times. I remember when it was done on the final episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. It included Will Ferrell dressed as Ronnie Van Zant playing the cowbell in a nod to his famous role in the More cowbell sketch, Ferrell's pregnant wife Viveca Paulin, Billy Gibbons, Ben Harper, Beck, O'Brien himself, and Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band.

 

Never really thought much of Free Bird. I like Gimme Three Steps, I Know A Little, Simple Man, Gimme Back My Bullets....

 

It has one of the best guitar(s) solos of all-time. People always think Stairway to Heaven has the best guitar solo, but I don't agree with that.

Nobody's mentioned What's Your Name or Sweet Home Alabama.

 

They're both sloppy. Besides, "best" is subjective.


Them too.

 

I like the solo from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.

 

You mean Pink Floyd?


David Gilmore is one of my all time faves.

 

Oops. Fixed it. My favorite song of all-time (which is also the first song I have a memory of hearing) is Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who. It's a great song, and it has sentimental value to me. Listening to my Zeppelin playlist right now.

 

Good tune. I dig The Who.

 

My favorite band of all-time is the Scorpions, followed by Iron Maiden. What shocks most people is that I'm not really a Beatles fan.

 

I'd guess that most people your age aren't Beatles fans.

 

Actually, they are very popular. Plus, I like a ton of older bands. From what I've read & been told, they gained a resurgence in popularity with the release of The Beatles Rock Band, and then again when their whole catalog was released on iTunes.

 

I never said they were popular with the younger generations, just that their popularity isn't as wide spread as it is with mine.


Need to run an errand, bbl....

 

I've always been more of a Gilmour fan than a Waters fan, I love the "Time" solo.

I know its blasphemous to many Floyd fans, but Momentary Lapse Of Reason is one of my favorite albums of theirs, I like it more than The Wall. I think it is because I've always liked the more David Gilmour influenced music of theirs, and that album is all Gilmour.

 

Good to see ya supe

 

Ever heard of DragonForce?

 

Howdy maj, how are things?

Yeah, I've heard them, not a huge fan though.

 

Just curious. They have some very interesting twin guitar solos. I think one of most unique guitar solos I've heard is the one from Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine.

 

Things are things, ya know? Working to keep my head above water. Nothing worth complaining about.

You?
