This site is still under construction!! Please visit again after construction is complete!!! Welcome to Feeb's Lynyrd Skynyrd Web Site, an affiliate of All-Legends.com!!!! This site is dedicated to one of America's most influental Rock & Roll bands of all time... Lynyrd Skynyrd!!


Skynyrd was founded in the late 60's by Ronnie Van Zant, and throuout the 70's, established themselves as one of the brightest emerging bands in america with such hit songs as Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, and Free Bird. But on October 20, 1977, at the height of their commercial success, the dream came to a tragic halt when their chartered plane ran out of gas and crashed near McComb, Mississippi, killing lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, backup singer Cassie Gaines, and assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick.


But the dream lives on today as Johnnie Van Zant (Ronnie's youngest brother) still leads Skynyrd onward towards the horizon, keeping the Southern Rock scene alive and shining as bright as ever!!
