Are you serious??? I wasn't even alive before Ronnie passed away and therefore would have no way to know about the quality of live performances. However, if you are speaking of their studio work... there is absolutely no contest between the original lineup and the current lineup. Ronnie and the rest of the original group put out some of the greatest music ever of any genre. Little brother... well some sort of Skynyrd is better than none at all.

I've seen both.The 2000 line-up sounds better than the oriinal.Hughie Thomason,Ricky Medlocke & Gary Rossington were the best guitar line-up the band ever had.Todays-you may have a point with the death of Powell & the Mad Hatter.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
