After stints in the healers , the cribs , modest mouse , film-scoring , remastering and various part-time assignations , former smiths guitarist marr finally gets around to releasing a shimmering debut solo album .
" We felt like the first three albums were a trilogy , and we finished that , " says guitarist johnny buckland . " So we wanted to do something different . "
The song was written to express lead singer ronnie van zant 's disappointment with the lifestyle lead and rhythm guitarist gary rossington was leading , as his drug and alcohol problems had started to negatively affect the band .
Not only did he amaze the audience with his solo performance , but he was also invited to the jam session with bb king in the main hall , where everyone was talking about " that incredible japanese guitarist " !
As guitarist dave navarro , who worked with blatt to keep a groupie tape off the market , told me , " I appreciate that in this case , there was someone looking out for my better interest . "
