  • Lynyrd Skynyrd: La Tràgica Història D'una Llegenda Americana
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 12/10/2016 a les 18:41 Lynyrd Skynyrd: La tràgica història d'una llegenda americana Lynyrd Skynyrd amb The Allman Brothers Band, uns amb un estil més contundent i els altres amb una configuració més jam, son la màxima representació i el sant grial de l'anomena't ?Rock Sureny?, gènere que es caracteritza per barrejar la música country, el blues i el soul amb el rock'n'roll (en els Allman s'hi ha d'afegir el jazz), d'una manera singular. Lynyrd Skynyrd a més, va utilitzar imatges de l'orgull sureny per crear un estil (a més del musical) únic, barrejant rock potent amb arrels de country i blues. La banda de rock sureny definitiva, amb una imatge ?outlaw? rebel i la iconografia del rock. Estenien (encara ara ho fan) una gegantesca bandera Confederada a l'escenari, i abans de començar el seu xou tocaven ?Dixie?. Quan s'escolten bandes d'aquest estil musical, sobretot les de la dècada dels 70, com Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, 38 Special, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker Band o ZZ Top, son posseïdors d'un segell particular (crec que és un do especial, que es porta dintre), que els diferència de les altres bandes claus de l'època Juntament amb artistes com els Allman Brothers i la Charlie Daniels Band, van ajudar a convertir al rock sureny en un gènere musical propi. Els orígens de Lynyrd Skynyrd es remunten a 1965, quan els companys de l'escola secundària Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington i Allen Collins van començar a tocar junts amb el nom de My Backyard a Jacksonville, Florida.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • The Final Cut Plotting World Domination from Altoona
    JANUARY 31, 2000 VOLUME 15 #1 The Final Cut Plotting world domination from Altoona Otherwise,CD/Tape/Culture analysis and commentary with D'Scribe, D'Drummer, Da Boy, D'Sebastiano's Doorman, Da Common Man, D' Big Man, Al, D'Pebble, Da Beer God and other assorted riff raff... D'RATING SYSTEM: 9.1-10.0 Excellent - BUY OR DIE! 4.1-5.0 Incompetent - badly flawed 8.1-9.0 Very good - worth checking out 3.1-4.0 Bad - mostly worthless 7.1-8.0 Good but nothing special 2.1-3.0 Terrible - worthless 6.1-7.0 Competent but flawed 1.1-2.0 Horrible - beyond worthless 5.1-6.0 Barely competent 0.1-1.0 Bottom of the cesspool abomination! WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WONDERING...What happened to our year end issue? We at Cut headquarters were faced with the same dilemma as calendar-watchers worldwide. When does the new Millennium actually begin? Jan. 1, 2000 or Jan. 1, 2001? We decided that we weren't really sure, and didn't really care. So we will do our official year-end and Millennium/Millenium issue next issue. Millennium/Millenium will recap the Millenium Music Conference in Harrisburg Feb. 10-13, and feature all the end of year, end of decade, end of century, end of the world crap you wanted in a Millennium issue. Hats off to the folks at EyeCatchers here in Altoona, for being the new printers of our print edition! Part of the reason for our 6- month hiatus recently was that we suddenly found ourselves without access to a copier/printer to run copies of the Cut with.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the definitive Southern rock band, fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock with a rebellious Southern image and a hard rock swagger. Skynyrd never relied on the jazzy improvisations of the Allman Brothers. Instead, they were a hard-living, hard-driving rock & roll band — they may have jammed endlessly on-stage, but their music remained firmly entrenched in blues, rock, and country. For many, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s redneck image tended to obscure the songwriting skills of their leader, Ronnie Van Zant. Throughout the band’s early records, Van Zant demonstrated a knack for lyrical detail and a down-to-earth honesty that had more in common with country than rock & roll. During the height of Skynyrd’s popularity in the mid-’70s, however, Van Zant’s talents were overshadowed by the group’s gritty, greasy blues-rock. Sadly, it wasn’t until he was killed in a tragic plane crash in 1977 along with two other bandmembers that many listeners began to realize his talents. Skynyrd split up after the plane crash, but they reunited a decade later, becoming a popular concert act during the early ’90s. ― Allmusic.

Originally formed in 1964 as My Backyard in Jacksonville, Florida, the band used various names such as The Noble Five and One Percent, before coming up with Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1969. The band rose to worldwide recognition on the basis of its live performances and signature tunes "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird". At the peak of their success, three members died in an airplane crash in 1977, putting an abrupt end to the band's most popular incarnation. The surviving band members re-formed in 1987 for a reunion tour with lead vocalist Johnny Van Zant, the younger brother of lead singer and founder Ronnie Van Zant.

Regarding the nomination, Gary Rossington said, “I’m thankful to everyone involved. It’s a great thing and a great day for all of us. I’m glad those we’ve lost - Ronnie, Allen, Leon, Steve and Cassie - will get the honour and recognition they deserve. I’m also thankful to Rickey Medlocke and Larry Junstrom, who were with us in the beginning and Rickey’s even in the band with us now. Those two also deserve a piece of this honour. We’re just all really thankful for this.” Billy Powell commented, “Obviously this proves that the music is here to stay and I feel I made a contribution to the industry. It certainly completes a lifetime accomplishment for me. I’m more excited to receive this honor especially on behalf of our brothers who can’t be here, but are watching from above.” To coincide, Universal Music are set to release the band’s 1976 ‘Gimme Back My Bullets’ album as a Deluxe Edition CD with 6 bonus tracks, coupled with a stunning DVD of the band’s seminal live concert recorded for BBC2’s Old Grey Whistle Test at BBC Television Centre at Shepherds Bush in West London on November 11th 1975.
