Lynyrd Skynyrd Still The Real Deal
. Medlocke has a long history with Lynyrd Skynyrd. He first joined the band in 1970, but not as a guitarist. "I was needing to make a change at the time," he said. "I called up Ronnie [Van Zant] and said, 'Do you need a crew guy or somebody to set up equipment or whatever?' And he said, Do you still play drums?' I knew how to play drums, but I hadn't messed with them in years. But in order to have a gig, I kind of BS'ed him and said, 'Yeah, I still know how to play." He left the band after about a year, because he didn't think he was a good enough drummer for the band. He went on to form Blackfoot, where he served as singer and guitarist, but remained good friends with the Skynyrd gang. He said he could have been on the plane that killed some of the band's key members in 1977 Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Lynyrd Skynyrd CDs |
