As a result of the ever-changing definitions of music genres, there are quite a few rock bands that were once considered metal, but aren't anymore. We've argued numerous times that heavy metal, as a genre, was "invented" when Black Sabbath released their self-titled debut album in 1970. But, there were several other rock groups making music that was heavier than anything people had ever heard around that time, too.

Emerging in the 1950s, rock has evolved into various subgenres, including classic rock, punk, metal, and alternative. Iconic bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones helped define the genre’s early sound, while others like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd pushed musical boundaries with innovative compositions.

Today, rock continues to influence a wide range of artists and remains a vital part of the music landscape.

In a new interview with Joe Rock of Long Island's rock station 102.3 WBAB, LYNYRD SKYNYRD guitarist Rickey Medlocke spoke about the possibility of new music from the iconic rockers. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well, I mean, I guess I can go ahead and let it out of the bag. Johnny [Van Zant, LYNYRD SKYNYRD singer] and I had spoken going back probably before the end of last year and talked about doing a new LYNYRD SKYNYRD record as a tribute to Gary [Rossington, late LYNYRD SKYNYRD guitarist]. It's been about a year and a half now since Gary passed away. We really felt we have all these songs that were written during all those years that he was with us. And we have about — oh my gosh — maybe two dozen either finished, unfinished, half finished, whatever songs laying around that he was part of. It's kind of interesting to hear these old tapes and stuff with Gary talking in the background and all of us laughing and having a lot of fun. Even Hughie Thomasson [late LYNYRD SKYNYRD guitarist] is in them. So, fast forward, it's been brought to our attention, we're gonna be able to record a SKYNYRD record. And I hope that after this [summer/fall 2024] tour, SKYNYRD will get busy and we'll lock into it and see what we get done."
