This disc is really great IMO with no filler to these ears after the first spin.

 

To be honest I didn't expect much as I'm a casual Skynyrd fan and don't buy all of their albums but I was in Walmart buying the new Foreigner disc and saw this and said why not and am not dissapointed at all.

I've read so much stuff about this album, with comments from ''Skynyrd have gone all country'', to ''it's much heavier and not your typical Skynyrd sound'' (so which one is it then?) etc. All I can say is, that those comments are from people who obviously haven't really heard their previous albums, as 'Gods & Guns' slips neatly into place with all their other back catologue, especially the JVZ fronted stuff and as mentioned, is EXACTLY what you would expect a Skynyrd album to sound like in 2009.

I think the Country comments are coming from "Unwrite that Song" but I think it's a great song and I'm not a country fan at all. I actually think that their label would be stupid to not release that as a single to country radio. "A Little Thing Called You" is kicking my butt currently.

after spinning this 3 times today my ONLY complaint with this album is track listing. you have a rocker then a slow song then another rocker then another slow song through out the entire album. for me this hurts the flow of the album. Johnny's vocals are in top shape and the band is tight, rocking out and playing songs with ton's of heart.

I picked this up the other day on a recommendation from my brother. I've never bought a Skynyrd album in my life. Still can't believe I flopped down money for one. But, I'll be darned if these songs aren't infectious.

      My re-introduction. The long and winded version.

      By Swamp Devil · Posted

      I wanted to talk about this band, The Lost. This mourning I was driving in to work, flipping stations. I hit a few college stations, because their play lists are all over the place. And I love hearing young students miss pronounce Van Halen. Anyway, The Lost came on. I saw them on a Thursday night once at Club Bene in NJ. They would have like 8 bands on Thursdays and these guy stood out. Then like a year later, I see them on MTV. Then my buddy, who is a guitar tech, called me up and said do you wanna see the Lost, we’ll get in for free. I was like sure. Then he calls me back and says, they need some guitar strings and we have to go early and knock on the back door. It was cool, we all hung out and shot the shit before the show. The funny thing was, this was during the unplugged trend. And it was advertised as the Lost unplugged. All the local bands brought their stools and played unplugged. When the introduced the Lost, FULL ELECTRIC!  Cool as hell. Then I remember WNEW radio was goi g to have them play a free concert on the steps of city hall in NYC. So the played and hyped the band up until the concert. Then basically stopped playing them.  thanks for reading another long John story. More to come. Lol

      I think about this often. The first two albums are amongst my favourite.

      Upcoming Releases List

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      Pretty sure there used to be one here that people would add to and repost as they saw fit. Anyone have a list of upcoming releases? Just saw that the Gun album was out, last I recall I posted saying I was looking forward to it, next thing I know it's been out for over a month. Don't wanna miss anything.

      4 out of 11 tracks is still quite a few. If it was one or two, yeah that would not be many, but four is 36% of the songs that were supposed to be on it.

      I read somewhere once they got paid millions by the record company NOT to release the third album. Must have had a great contract. But seems like bad business from the company end whichever way you look at it.
