whatever sound those guys are making in that photo, I don't want to hear it.

stepping out of my apt and turning on the radio to hear my favorite Skynyrd song being sung by the bastard child of Clay Aiken and Eddie Vedder there is no god

Based on the pose of the lead dude, it is the sound of a ripe fart.

somewhere between a fart and a yodel, really

he's fartelling.

And what a sweet noise unto the Lord it is.

I hereby nominate "fartelling" as the descriptive verb for making that constipated donkey groan that eminates from 95% of the bands I hear on rawk radio.

I second it, and insist you get it to as wide a public as possible.

oh man. I think I said something about this on my blog a couple months ago. it's my favorite LS song too and such a horrible horrible cover.

The last time I took part in a Skynyrd-related thread, it got exceptionally ugly. Thus, I'm keeping my big fucking trap (of truth-broadcasting justice) shut.

one year passes...
wtf are you people talking about, Brent Smith, vocals for shinedown, is AMAZING. compared to any other rock bands now he can REALLY sing. Open your minds a little and just because its a LS song doesn't mean it can't be re-done and still be good.

Well I hope Brent Smith will remember,
A Southern Man don't need him around anyhow.

btw this version is indeed dogshit and there's this local karaoke singer guy (who is also in a band) who does it and he is of the Idol histrionic variety so of course he does it this way cos after all what we really want when we hear a song like this is vocal acrobatics, by the time it's done everybody's cheering and he's moussing his soul patch and idgi

seven years pass...

I have only vaguely heard of Shinedown, and yet here they are playing at the local college basketball arena, which seats like 18,000 people. This whole world of "mainstream rock" in the 2020s is just foreign territory to me, but I guess it has a good-sized audience.

I really want to see whatever image that broken link from the first post used to point to.... it's an intriguing url...
