Thread: RIP Gary Rossington

    RIP Gary Rossington

    The end of an era...

    Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd's last original member, dead at 71

    In October 1977, Gary Rossington survived a plane crash that killed three bandmates and became a touchstone in rock music lore.

    The Lynyrd Skynyrd founding member and guitarist seemed indestructible as he spent decades battling drug and alcohol addictions and enduring a carousel of heart-related health issues.

    Rossington, the only living original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, died Sunday. He was 71.

    For the purists, Ricky Medlocke (also leader of the band Blackfoot), a current member of Skynyrd, was also essentially a founding member, but the recordings which were intended to be the first album were not released for many years later as “Skynyrd's First and... Last”.

    This is the documentary that I watched about 5 years ago. It was on Circle TV, which is non-pay tv. I was pleasantly surprised by how long it was and how they went into detail. Short clip below includes beginning of the documentary. Intriguing and worth a look.


    When Lynyrd Skynyrd emerged onto the world stage in 1973, it was the result of a collective determination; the group had struggled and fought to gain real recognition ever since their formation eight years before. And although they were initially identified, both in the music industry and in the media, as just another act in the then booming Southern Rock movement, it became quickly apparent that not only were Skynyrd a distinctly individual collective, but also they had the potential to become one of the finest rock bands in history. Led by the headstrong and domineering Ronnie Van Zant, a tough, blue collar brawler with a powerful stage presence, distinctive vocals and gritty, honest lyrics, his energy and vision propelled the group until its tragic end in 1977. This films tells the story of the rise and fall of a remarkable band.
