yeah man!! "I'm still alone...still alive...still UNBROKEN"!!! what amazing words from such an amazing band!! can't wait to see them rock out in Augusta, GA!!!!! ;)
After listening to the new cd for the first time, I wasn't quite sure about it, so I put it down for about a week. When I got back to it again, it hit me,"hey this is a damn good cd". I think it's even better than Vicious Cycle, and I really like that one a whole lot. God Bless U Boys.....
skynyrd rocked then they rock now. rock johnny 4 keeping it alive and going. my dad introduced me 2 them at a young and infact first concert was w/ dad 2 skynyrd concert. i passed this rock knowledge down 2 my son including first concert was skynyrd and he's 7yrs old and request we listen 2 them. i dedicated "simple man" 2 my son the min i knew he was a boy. god bless and keep rocking!!! ;)
I remember distinctly the very first time I listened to a Skynrd album. A friend of mine owned two head shops back in the 70's and one night after we were closing one of the stores he asked me to listen to this new album he had just received. It was of course the "pronounced" album and ever since 73 I have followed this band through their worst of times and their best of times. Without getting all teary eyed and emotional and walking down memory lane, I would like to say that the band has come full circle with the release of God and Guns and I hope and pray they stay the course and keep "rockin" for many years to come! God Bless Lynyrd Skynrd.
I've had the new album for about a week. I am not only enjoying the traditional crunchy rhythm guitar and the soaring sound of Gary's Les Paul, there is the sweet overtone of the strat as well as plentiful slide on offer. The variation in the dynamic (Still Unbroken vs Unwrite that Song) adds to the listening pleasure. (I thought I could hear a little Travis Tritt in the aftermentioned song!)
Like Northernfan, I would love to see a Skynyrd tour, but here in Australia. Last year I wrote to Vector Management regarding the matter, but with no reply. Be encouraged by other ROADRUNNER acts eg Dream Theater who are touring for a second time in December 09.

God & Guns is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums and it stands up with any of the Lynyrd Skynyrd albums released prior to the plan crash.
