| I heard the new album "Black Radio Stations Won't Play This Album", or
something like that last night. Mercy mercy mercy ......
Very heavy. Kings X meets Testament. I tapped it on a late night show
and haven't had a chance to listen to all of it, but so far, every
song is pounding. I think there were a couple mellow songs thrown in
for good measure. The lead singers appear to be the same folks from
the earlier MF versions.
Anyone else heard this ? Comments ? Spare change ?

| I would love it if they had the original people singing lead. Is that
really the name of the album? Gotta check this out...

| Original singers for sure - their style is unmistakable. The first cut
on the CD is called "Just Like A Negro". It's such a rockin' tooon
that I haven't listened to the words yet. 8^)

Yow, been years since I've listened to them. I used to be a big fan sometime
back around the late 70's but haven't kept up with them since early 80's.
Do they still record? Tour?
talk about a blast....

| "Yes" to recording (the new album ...), and "yes" to touring. They
were here in Greenville SC not too long ago, but I didn't go see 'em.
I'm tellin' ya, this new album is wicked.

| Shame on you BA ... a southern boy should know better. 8^)
FWIW - the *new* Lynyrd Skynyrd stinks, and are nothing more than a
group of opportunists trying to compete in the Kentucky derby on a dead
horse.

| 186.14 | I gotta disagree... | MR4DEC::WENTZELL | Expert Only <><> | Thu Apr 09 1992 18:33 | 16 |

>FWIW - the *new* Lynyrd Skynyrd stinks, and are nothing more than a

I respectfully disagree. Artimus Pyle, Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkonson, Ed
King, and Billy Powell are all from the original Lynyrd Skynyrd. Add to that
lineup Johnny Van Zant, brother of original lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, and
one other guitar player who's name escapes me at the moment, and you have a
pretty darn good band. They do miss the singing and even more so the
songwriting of Ronnie Van Zant, and in that sense they are most definately not
the same Skynyrd as 15 years ago. I thought the material on their new album
was marginal at best. Still worth the price of admission though, at least for
me.

| I agree with .14.
I think waht hurts them most is, as stated in .14, the songwriting of
Ronnie VanZant not being there. Other than that, I think they still
sound pretty good, ANd, they sound WONDERFUL in concert.

Well I was one pissed-off dude come Saturday!!!! No M/F!!!! They
cancelled! I don't know why but they did! The only vidication I
received was that in between set-ups they played the new Cd over the
speakers! Let me tell you....
Jerry wasn't wrong when he said that this cd was great!!!! It is
awesome!!!!! I'm going to the store to pick it tommorow!!!! I've got
to have it!!! It was really great!!!
as for the show...sound system sucked...NANTUCKET was pretty
good..Marshall Tucker was excellent! and Skynard was great!!! all the
other house bands were so.so...

| Have no fear, B.A.! They're booked at Dee Walkers sometime soon
(maybe this weekend) out on Whitehorse Rd. Minus the rednecks, I think
I rather seen'em in a club setting anyway.
JERRY!! You????? Raggae??? I had no idea! I still say I could turn
you into a Parrothead in no time. Look what I did to B.A.! :-) :-)

| No offense, but Jimmy Buffet gets on my nerves. Besides, I've got an
ex that was a BIG (we're talking beefalo) JB fan, which is probably why
I don't like his stuff. "Cheeseburger In Paradise" indeed ...
RE: Reggae ...
... well in these troubled GSO times, that music is a welcome change.
It's hard to be in a bad mood when listening to a lot of that stuff.
