That was actually Artimis's vision, along with Ed King playing a few songs from time to time, according to an interview he did.

Like the brothers

Hell yeah Just like the Allman Brothers

​@@TheShockninjaSurely a class act..Artimus Pyle is. Bringing Bob Burns playing beside him...talk about more crazy things....Bob was later killed in an automobile accident.

Like the Allman Brothers..perfect .

Bob was not particularly receptive to that hug.

too many names :(

And now Ed King too😔

Jo jo 2010

add Artimus Pyle... RiP

@@joshuacullen88 what :o

I miss me some Jersey I hate California it's sucks out here.

@@dougreed9843 move back 2 jersey thn.problem solved.i lived in fla. once and it sucked.guess what i moved back 2 nh where i was from.

To play what they do is very difficult

I also was a drummer for 40 years in local honky tonks,,,lynard skynard songs were on just about every songlist,,,Artimus was hard to match as far as some of the licks he did,,

You got to be born with talent to do that my brother was born with talent doing that before he was 10

Agreed. Timing and groove is fantastic. As well as the “pocket” work. Legends!!! Much respect fROM AZ, USA🙏🏼🇺🇸. Pero. Get a new singer ese

Those are combat boots... Standard issue,,,,

He was a marine, what branch did u serve in?

Me too

No doubt man. Awesome! Just awesome!

Rickey Medlocke was NOT a founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd..and imo he gets wayyy too much credit. He was only a stand-in for a little while in 1970..Skynyrd was formed in 1964. However Larry WAS a founding member.. just sayin the truth❤️

Janet Brewer What about Ed King?

@Scahoni Ed King didn't join Skynyrd until the early '70's, when Leon left for a short time. So Ed wasn't an original/founding member. Is that what you meant?😋

Oh I see .. very interesting, thanks :-)

+Scahoni You're welcome😋

twinsmm1 i agree

+twinsmm1 Amen to that. Been there and saw the new Skynyrd. They suck

Any of you guys want to know what really went down with the original skynyrd and the Allman bros. visit the youtube site STEVE VEST SWAMP. he was there in the beginning and played for both bands. He will also answer any questions.

N

How do you figure that?

Yeah I wonder if the scumbag lost his edge for fucking under age girls Artimus is a loser

@@ajslick5884 he was cleared of those charges by the way they admitted that they lied give Artimus a break damn

Artimus Rocks 🎸

I did notice it and you can see it in HD on the Cruise video also here on the Tube. I can't imagine playing at all with those boots on, let alone playing as well as he does. What a pro.

I noticed but thought it was an ace bandage, or something. Makes sents.

Artstar2 another drummer here... that was the first thing I noticed when he was climbing into his drum set...’ freakin work/combat boots?!?’ I wear New Balance running sneakers, just like you said. Light, and great traction so your feet don’t slide around on the pedals. I saw the APB open for the Marshall Tucker Band about a year ago in Clearwater Fla. Artimus still kicks ass, and anyone saying he still ‘doesn’t have it’ is full of shit!! A bittersweet night, they played on the day word came out that Gregg Allman died. MTB was VERY good friends with the Allman Bros. Band, so half of their set that night were Allman Bros. songs, as a tribute. And they were spot-on perfection!

He's all business!

He is all business!

Well put.

If I understand it correctly, the late great Charlie Daniels chose Artimus to replace his drummer who was leaving the band. (Talk about a band leader with high standards!). But at the last minute Charlie's drummer decided to stay on, so Charlie told Artimus that Skynyrd was looking for a drummer. And on Charlie's word RVZ arranged to give Artimus a listen. (Actually I think Ronnie had a couple Skynyrd band members audition him). But I think Charlie's endorsement carried a lot of weight, and I think Artimus was pretty much hired on Charlie Daniel's word!

i turned 57 last wed. i had the good fortune to see a show at the neil blaisdel center in honolulu Hi in the early 1990s....it was the final show of a reunion tour that had lasted many months and was the the first tour in several years for the remaining members of the most badass tightest and by far and away the most musicaly talented band ive ever heard to this day.it was a special show and several guests who had not been part of this tour flew in for the last show... a friend of mine and myself decided not to muss this about noon on day of show...we drove from oahus north shore...went to the boxoffice and somehow got 12th row floor seats...an unsold block had been released for sale....so lucky i guess...we then found a bar and had a couple drinks to pass the 3 hrs till showtime...and when this band got on stage i witnessed a group of the most talented musicians who gave a standout show that i will never forget...the best band as far as musical talent that ive ever seen...and ive been to many concerts.the way that 3 guitars can all play lead in perfect unison and then each trade to rythm then back and do a sort of round robin that was so tight and crisp and never mussed up for the whole show....ì dont think any other group can come close...no slackers here...these guys are all topnotch and proved they are number one. so i just saw a couple vids here that sparked my memory....and so i feel humbled and am honored to have seen them live
