I have this friend who plays guitar a little too much, and so everytime he picks it up, I jokingly yell out; "Play Free Bird!"
We then proceed to laugh because it's Lynyrd Skynyrd.
However, I've actually never heard Free Bird before.
The whole Album I thought was going to all sound like "Sweet Home Alabama". It kind of did, at first.
Until Free Bird played.
The guitar solo in that song blew my mind because that was one of the greatest solo's I have ever heard.
The rest of the Album was kind of a build-up towards the finale. I love how the finale is the best song, rather than the first song in most Albums. It really adds more impact, and helps you remember how awesome the Album is, even though I almost fell asleep.
Free Bird sounds an awful lot like Stairway to Heaven.
But who stole from who?
