Answer: The Who

Lynyrd Skynyrd toured with The Who on their U.S leg of the "Quadrophenia" tour. At the time, The Who was also signed with MCA. This tour helped establish Skynyrd's fan base into 1974.

2. What was the last name of the band before they settled on the final version of "Lynyrd Skynyrd"?

Answer: One Percent

My Backyard was the original name in 1964. They soon changed the name to the Nobel Five in 1965. In 1968, after seeing a Hell's Angel's jacket, they became One Percent.

Every Skynyrd fan should know that the name Lynyrd Skynyrd was from the gym teacher at their high school that hated boys with long hair; Leonard Skinner. That is what Gary Rossington named the band. That changed to Lynard Skynard and then finally to what we know today.

3. What high school did the original members attend in Jacksonville, Florida?

Answer: Robert E. Lee High

Robert E. Lee High school was on the west side of Jacksonville, Fl. Gary Rossington got tired about being chastised about his long hair, so he dropped out of school.

As part of the legal settlement with the widows of Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines, the name Lynyrd Skynyrd could not be used unless three of the members were part of the pre-crash band.
