Chad Thorne Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 How many original members are still alive? That band sure had some bad luck. The plane crash was a terrible thing. It's too bad Billy died so young. But he was overweight, had had some issues, and had been told to consult a cardiologist. He didn't get around to it. Ya pays your money and takes your choices.

rizzo9247 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Terrible news. I've seen Skynyrd (or what's left) once each of the past 2 years, they always put on a good show. I think Billy and Gary Rossington were the only two original members still playing live until the unfortunate news today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b5pilot Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 How many original members are still alive? That band sure had some bad luck. I read in the paper he was of two original members left after the plane crash. RIP brother. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric VB Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Sad news. Their music is almost a requirement for any cover band in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jode Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Sad news. Their music is a requirement for any cover band in any area. FYP Billy was and is my favorite blues/rock pianist. His solos in "Call Me The Breeze" and "I Know A Little" are just masterful. A great loss. "I had to have something, and it wasn't there. I couldn't go down the street and buy it, so I built it."
