The GNR thread made me think...
- Thread starter Theconnormead
- Start date
Pat, they are just a cover band with the little brother of the lead singer and a bunch of canibalizing record company executives trying to capitalize on the name. Baby brother was 17 when the plane crash happened and is the only thread holding on now
Wonder if Garth got to partake in his "hobby," while in Starkvegas?
Pretty much. Ronnie was the songwriting engine of the band. The story is he wrote the song Sweet Home Alabama while sitting and fishing on a river in Jacksonville while the band was in a nearby building finalizing the music. He never wrote down the lyrics of his songs as he memorized them all as he went over them.
No telling how many more absolute classics was missed out on because not enough fuel was put in the airplane.
My list of Great Bands/Acts seen is long but the one I wanted to see but missed was
the Rolling Stones, would have been about 73 (cue the "boomer haters") in High School
and had tickets with a friend to see them in Baton Rouge. I got seriously sick the day before
and still in bad shape the day of and no way would I have survived the drive to/from Jackson.
My friend had no trouble finding someone to take my place.

Poor Old Lu, Prayer Chain, Sixpence None the Richer, I would love to see U2 before they call it quits, Black Eyed Sceva. I would have loved to see Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin, but that was before my time.
Garth may not be in his prime anymore but he still puts on a heck of a show. Sticks to the hits.
