Gary Rossington

I could write a dozen different songs with the same three or four chords, but they'd all be entirely different. ”

Our parents helped us, or we wouldn't be here. Lacy Van Zant and my mother used to sign for amps or loan us money to get to the gig or take us in their car. It's just like little sports guys - Little League and football players - whose parents help them. That's why they get good. ”

We didn't have much money when I was younger, so I had to collect Coke bottles and cash them in and get a paper route to afford a guitar. That guitar from Sears came with a case and an amp and everything all in one. It was really cool. ”

Old-school rock bands, and blues bands, too, are kind of a dying breed. ”

I think we're a working man's band. ”

Jimi Hendrix's 'Electric Ladyland' and 'All Along the Watchtower,' those solos are just so cool. ”

I love being Southern because of the people and the fans we have. People down here are more friendly - really warm people. ”

Man, I love Limp Bizkit, Johnny Lange, many people. ”

I love Eric Clapton and what he did with Cream; 'Spoonful' and 'Crossroads,' those are probably the coolest solos. ”

The more wild experiences you have, the better songs you can write. ”
