It’s exciting and refreshing to listen to new rock. And I like a lot of it – Filter, Vertical Horizon, Stabbing Westward… I even enjoy some Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock. Rickey Medlocke Read Quote

I started playing guitar when I was, like, 5, and I picked up playing drums when I was 6 years old. Rickey Medlocke Read Quote
I’ve got a few great old Marshalls that I use live: ’71 and ’72 heads and an old combo with 2x12s. Rickey Medlocke Read Quote
I often use dropped D or C – I even go all the way down to A. What can be really cool is drop a guitar down there and have the rest of the band continue in standard tuning. It gives it a lot of power and texture. Rickey Medlocke Read Quote
I was one of the original drummers. What everyone likes to do is think of Lynyrd Skynyrd as the band that picked up again in ’73. But I was one of the original members, and I was a big part of that. Rickey Medlocke Read Quote
You’ve just gotta go in and write from the heart and write the best material that you can and put it out. If one hits, hey, great. It keeps the legacy going. But you’ve gotta keep doing new material. It’s the future of any band. Rickey Medlocke Read Quote
