When I worked with Hangar 18, this would happen a lot. Marty would play a bar or 2 of it, then they'd launch into In My Darkest Hour or whatever was next on the set list. Personally, I think this is played out. Let's think of another song title to yell out, guys. My pick: "Buried Alive" by Mercyful Fate. [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img]

You can't buck this trend. Loyal Kev-heads all over the world have kept it alive and will continue until the end of time!

Re: FREEBIRD!!!!

Freebird is one of the greatest songs ever written. That entire solo section is incredible.

Re: FREEBIRD!!!!

Tek, I hear ya, but in the Northeast no one has heard or Mr. Matthews and we've been doing it around here for as long as I remember like back into the the late 70's when the album came out......I think it goes back to the album itself and all of the partying people did listening to it and trying to mimic what was on the album...props to Mr. Matthews for keeping it alive however...

Re: FREEBIRD!!!!

Well, in the article there are speculations that it was around before Kev did it. I think even the article mentions a live recording that had it in there somewhere. (I just don't want to hear Greg Kot's thoughts, he's and his pal Jim Derogatis are ass-monkeys.)

Bill Hicks. I think it's so funny that a guy who was trying to be a comedian couldn't take a joke.

Re: FREEBIRD!!!!

Bill was one of those "artsy" comedians. You know, the ones who tried to make you think as well as laugh.

That's funny...We did a metal ver of "Doom Dispair" from HeeHaw....It was a blast! Three chord song that rocks actually (if it's done right). You know, give it that D-tuned, 120bpm, double bass, gravel voice feel:

But he bemoans the decline of "Freebird" etiquette. "It was never meant to be yelled at a cool concert -- it was meant to be yelled at someone really lame," he says. "If you're going to yell 'Freebird,' yell 'Freebird' at a Jim Nabors concert."

Modest Mouse? Some "slacker jazz" group? Those sound like pretty lame shows to me.

Re: FREEBIRD!!!!

On one of the live tracks on my site (can't remeber which one) someone yelled for Freebird. I demanded that whomever yelled that come to the front of the stage so I could kick him in the head.

He actually came up! And, since I was at least as lit as he was - I kicked him in the head. He calmly returned to his seat, and the set resumed.

Fukker's lucky I was wearing my Nike's and not my boots!

lol....
