Johnny van zant brickyard road rapidshare

Beer and liquor bottles were scattered all over the place where people partied; it was a redneck shrine of sorts to Ronnie Van Zant. It really put me in a place emotionally. The home apparently went into receivership when the new owner had financial difficulties, and sat vacant for years. It also turned out that it was the location of the last print interview Ronnie did before the Skynyrd plane crash.

I also called my songwriting buddy, Michael Lunn, who had a writing room with an 8-track at his home. From the minute we sat in that room together it just flowed. All the best songs write themselves.

This was a blessing to be a part of, and to this day I have no doubt God was connecting the dots! Ahmet loved the song and the demo … he said without a doubt it was a hit, but the one thing most people never knew was why it touched him so deeply. Like Johnny and Donnie, it reminded Ahmet of his own brother Nesuhi, also a major kingpin of Atlantic, who had just recently passed away. The song became very personal to Ahmet.

Just please give us the rope to hang ourselves first. I believe he also understood and respected our passion in wanting it to be as good as it could possibly be. Everyone in the room knew this was the title track to an album and more. This was in honor of, and inspired by, one of the great rock legends of our time, Ronnie Van Zant.

There was a reverence to it along with the excitement and energy. So many wonderful elements coming together at a singular moment, and everyone knew it. Just amazing. You can hear the emotion in his voice, especially on the out. It was real, and raw, as good as it gets! By the end of the performance the entire crowd was on their feet cheering for Johnny.
