Hello, Mizfits and Miztakes! It's time to talk music, and if you haven't noticed I usually like to talk about bands who give WWE theme songs for pay-per-views or give us music for our WWE shows.
Hey, any band that supports WWE is a band worth talking about. This month's rockers are legendary, timeless, and gave a different outlook of Alabama instead of people opening their beer bottles with their last good tooth.
I'm talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd and their song "Still Unbroken" is the official theme song for WWE Breaking Point.
Their are a few bands that you can actually say are timeless: Ozzy, Aerosmith, Skynyrd, etc. I will never forget doing a signing at Ozzfest and asking everyone who they were there to see. I swear 10-year-old kids said Ozzy, then 20-year-olds said Ozzy, then 30-, 40-, 50-year-olds said Ozzy.
How amazing that generation after generation wants to see Ozzy. Same goes for Lynyrd Skynyrd. I remember them as a kid and till this day still turn up the radio full blast when they come on.
Lately, I've been hearing Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" on the radio and even though it's a great song, it still doesn't touch the original. I've been a fan of Kid Rock ever since "Bawitdaba" and if anyone could do a good job at remaking or making "Sweet Home Alabama" his own, it'd be him.
I always loved it when bands took music from a cool, popular song and redid it. That's gotta be the ultimate compliment for a band. As long as it's good. haha...
I've never seen Skynyrd in concert but have come close. Back in my Reality heyday, I would do appearances all over the USA. I got a call and was asked if I'd do an autograph signing at this music festival which Skynyrd were playing.
I arrived at the hotel and asked when they went on. I was told 8 pm. It was 7 pm so I decided to get some food and since my hotel was across the street, I told them I'd walk to the place.
Around 7:50 pm, I started walking and I could hear the ehco of them playing "Sweet Home Alabama". The weird part was bands never go on early and I thought why would they play that song first. Yep, totally missed them...big ugh and not happy ... Especially since a friend of mine actually went to a Skynyrd concert and said it was amazing.
She said it started thunderstorming and they were only allowed to play one song, so what song did they play? "Sweet Home Alabama" of course.
It was pouring rain, muddy, and at the Woodlands Pavilion there's a huge hill so as they were playing the song they could see people sliding down the hill and commented on it and decided to go try it. How cool is that? Lynyrd Skynyrd, rock legends, sliding down a muddy hill at their concert with fans if that's not a rock band I don't know what is.
Their upcoming album, "Gods & Guns," comes out Tuesday, Sept. 29th, and from what I've heard it sounds pretty amazing.
And that's all I have to say about that (Alabama Reference...who said it??)
Because I 'm the Miz, and I'm AWESOME!!


I can relate to that. I went to a Nickelback concert this summer with my friend and after the three opening bands (Saving Abel, Papa Roach, and Hinder, all great), it started pouring rain. So me and my friend ended up standing in the rain for two hours waiting for the rain to clear up until eventually the guy came out and cancelled the concert. I was so pissed.
TWDSAnyways, nice article as always.
