"GUITARS ON FIRE" the ultimate Lynyrd Skynyrd experience. Skynyrd was the powerful driving rock band that gave birth to a genre - Southern Rock. This St. Louis based Skynyrd Reproduction takes no exception to their standards... and represents them at their height, from 1976 to 1977. Guitars On Fire is not a tribute band, but instead replicates that short time in rock history when guitar was god on stage and the more great guitarists the better.
