Jahfin Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I would have loved to have seen Waylon and Neil on the same bill. Thankfully I did see Waylon (one of my absolute favorites) once. He played out in the woods at a place called Hugo outside of Kinston, NC back in the 80s. I think the Super Grit Cowboy Band or some other local act (maybe Sutter's Gold Streak?) were also on the bill. Just before Waylon came out The Crickets took the stage and then Waylon joined them. It was during The Crickets' set that I learned one of them was the composer of The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme as they played it that day. Waylon only turned in an hour set but it was the only time I ever saw him in concert so I can't bitch too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I certainly get the Skynyrd influence on Hank, Jr.'s music and even like a tune or two but overall I prefer his Daddy's music. Same for Hank III. Hank, Jr. just comes off a little too cartoony for me to ever take seriously. Give me Hank, Sr. or Hank III any day of the week. Hank Jr has his lighter side, along with the whiskey bent and hell bound side that fell down a Rocky Mountain slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hank Jr has his lighter side, along with the whiskey bent and hell bound side that fell down a Rocky Mountain slope. Oh, I'm sure he does and believe you me, I've heard enough of his music to form an opinion, I just don't care for the majority of what I've heard whether it be his "lighter" side or his "whiskey bent and hellbound" side, it's mostly just not my cup of tea. I like Hank, Sr. and Hank III much better. In regards to his Rocky Mt accident, you should check out the Yayhoos' song Monkey With A Gun if you've never heard it.

Jahfin Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm still a huge fan of Charlie Daniels' early work but I'm not much on him changing the lyrics to his old songs in concert due to his newfound Christianity or am I none too fond of some of his political views.

Hank, Sr. had a lot of heart; I notice the lyrics of "Monkey With A Gun," appear to refer to Hank, Jr. as having fallen off a mountain "somewhere in Colorado"; actually he fell while climbing Ajax Mountain near Missoula, Montana.

Jahfin Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 From NME.com: Charlie Daniels condemns the game featuring his song Charlie Daniels, writer of the song 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia', has slammed the makers of 'Guitar Hero III' after the song was used in the game. He has publicly stated that he would have refused permission for the song to be used if he had the power, claiming that the "very essence" of the song had been "violated". Daniels, who wrote the song in 1979 while a member of The Charlie Daniels Band, lost the rights to the song in a past settlement. He explained on his blog: "The song, 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia', which I wrote, is supposed to be a lighthearted novelty about a fiddling contest between a country boy and the devil and the devil always loses. "I would never grant permission for some company to create a video game version of a song I wrote in which the devil wins a contest." Expressing his upset at the devil character who challenges players in the game, he added: "I'm sorely disappointed with the company who owns the copyright for not policing the situation. As it is they have allowed these people to violate the very essence of the song. "At this time I don't know if I have any legal recourse, probably not, but I wanted you folks to know that I vehemently disagree with what has been done to a piece of my work. "And I would like to pass along a little advice to parents of young children. This game looks innocent enough but if you have a child who is playing it, take the time to sit with him or her while they're playing along and take a serious look at the images on the screen." 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' was Daniels' biggest hit, charting at Number Three in the US singles chart. It has since been covered by the likes of Primus, The Levellers and Jerry Reed, and Rednex. The song has had an impact outside of the world of music, too, with comedian Jim Davidson performing it as part of a comedy tour in 2002 and WWE wrestler The Rock singing it on US TV in 2003.

LednyrdZepnyrd Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 One thing I have noticed about all muscicians and band members is the way they die. Ive noticed that a very high percent of them die from plane crashes, drugs, and suicide. Now, most of the original Skynyrd crew died from the plane crash. Has anyone else noticed this also?

Yes, I have. In the business those are known as "natural" causes. Skynyrd's story has been especially tragic as at least two members (Allen Collins and Leon Wilkeson) have passed away since the plane crash.

Jahfin Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Must-see viewing for any fan of Townes Van Zandt (pictured on the cover), Guy Clark, Steve Young (author of Seven Bridges Road), Steve Earle, David Allan Coe and Charlie Daniels.
