“Gary’s extraordinary ability as a guitarist was nothing less than inspirational. [He] was the last of the breed and will be missed.” ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons remembers Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Gary Rossington.
“Gary Rossington’s loss is especially profound for us as we’ve spent countless hours in his company on tour and all points in between,” Gibbons tells. “We facilitated getting Lynyrd Skynyrd on the bill with ZZ Top at a South Carolina date way back during the start of the band’s rise in ’73, which started an enduring friendship.”
A fellow Southern-rock guitar hero, Gibbons raves about his fallen comrade’s deft playing. “Gary’s extraordinary ability as a guitarist was nothing less than inspirational. It’s an old cliché about somebody who has paid their dues to call them a ‘survivor,’ and it this case it is literally true. Gary was the last of the breed and will be missed.”
