Original Skynyrd drummer Bob Burns RIP

[Jesse]

Bummer. We lost another one. To clarify, Burns was Skynyrd's ORIGINAL drummer and played on the first two Lynyrd Skynyrd albums "Pronounced 'Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd'" and "Second Helping". He quit the band by 1975. Great drummer. It was said that, for years, Artimus Pyle struggled with the drum beat Burns had created for "Workin' For MCA". Not a knock on Pyle, just shows how good Burns was that he could stump another great drummer. Skynyrd may well have a curse upon them. It'll be interesting to see if anyone who was ever a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd will live to be 70.

Got sad when I read the news.

I heard he wasn't wearing his seat belt and died in a car crash.

I've really been into Molly Hatchet lately.
