Lynyrd Skynyrd at 21st Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at The Waldorf Astoria, New York City, USA - 13.03.06

The veterans are planning to release their first album since 2003's Vicious Cycle - and John 5 is at the controls.

Guitarist Rickey Medlocke is keen to answer devotees who fear Manson's man is too heavy for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

He says, "Everybody thought, ‘My god, you are going to write with this guy? How is that ever going to work?’ But this guy came in and is really multi-talented in all genres.”
