Now that Gary Rossington has passed, Artimus is the very last of the final line up of the original band. Artimus Pyle band keeps it real. R.I.P. to the brothers and sisters past, long live Artimus Pyle.
Saw Artimus in Riverhead Long Island with That Guitarist. Great small venue, Great covers. Folks Remember please Gaines created these licks and it was actually watered down for Skynyrd from his original version. So is it Steve in front of you? No Thank you For paying tribute to one of the greats..Steve Gaines.
Excellent job. I know of an old band ( no longer with us ) that could only do it this good or better. The drummer still plays but the last original guy just passed. Artimus has always been my favorite drummer too.
I loved it!! Artimus is one of my favorite drummers! The man is a time machine!! We did this song Live and it was a hit with the crowd! Check out Ellis D Band doing this song as a 3 piece band!
The current Lynyrd Skynyrd are a bunch of sellouts - JVZ and Gary Rossington should be ashamed of themselves. They should have pulled the plug when Leon Wilkeson and Billy Powell passed away! This band SHOULD NOT still be using the Skynyrd name.
I love em’ too! Saw them in North Dallas around 1999 and they were fabulous! Even got my new Dallas Cowboy hat signed by Artimus! If anyone plays guitar and wants to learn these songs to the exact notes, check out Scott Raines on UA-cam who’s playing lead guitar here! They want these songs to go on forever played correctly! Scott Raines and Jerry Lyda (plays Less Paul) got to spend three years off and on visiting Ed King learning the right way for all the licks, before he passed!
Saw this band last night, everyone has their own opinion and mine is these guys don't compare to Gary's band they seem to be. Half step slower and sounded lost at times. I am not a musician but know skynyrd music well just glad was a free show
Sorry to disagree, but this is very good. Like to see you play it. Yes, the original or various version of the original LS with Ronnie is optimal, but with the current LS, I would take these guys over them any day of the week. They play for the love of the music, not for the dollars.
I love Artimus but this not good folks. Steve Gaines , had they lived on, would have taken over Skynyrd and they would have grown to incredible heights . He changed that band for the better in a very short period of time. I say this as Skynrd is my second favorite band of all times. Steve was better than any single player in the band there were sure some great ones.
Ronnie recognized Steve's talent the first time he did T for Texas and T for Tennessee with them. It's sad that their great talent had gotten cut so short.....
I thought they did pretty good. And yes Steve was just phenomenal, singing, writing and pickin’. Lynyrd Skynyrd was about to explode. All the guitar players were fantastic and Allen and Gary just had different styles.
So let me see if I get this. Its not OK in Artimus Pyle's opinion that the current Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup to call themselves Lynyrd Skynyrd, even though they have an original Skynyrd member & a founding member at that, in Gary Rossington to do some of the 70's original Skynyrd songs, but yet its OK in Pyle's eyes that he himself who happens to be a NON ORIGINAL SKYNYRD MEMBER to be allowed to do some of the original 70's Skynyrd songs with his band. OK. Got it. Just checking. Ya know what that makes Pyle don't ya? A hypocrite. Who the hell is Pyle a NON ORIGINAL SKYNYRD BAND MEMBER I might add, say who has or doesn't have, the right to play some of the original 70's Skynyrd on stage? He does, so what's he bitching about? He's just pissed at Skynyrd because they booted his ass out of the band. Its ROCK N ROLL what can I say? I like Pyle & he's a great drummer N all, but Jesus Christ, stop having an ax to grind with the current LS lineup & get over it already. Like it or not Pyle, you are NOT an ORIGINAL SKYNYRD MEMBER so you really have no say on what the current band decides on doing. Simple but FACT!
Allan Cove,that's your opinion....A ridiculous rant on every level,my personal opinion. Ronnie Van Zant handpicked his pickers n players. Artimus belongs-Period. We can ALL speculate about this and that,weigh in on matters we know nothing about,but I would bet a bottle of Jack Daniels that Ronnie Van Zant would raise holy hell at what calls itself "Lynyrd Skynyrd" today. Not a drop of musical integrity in the post-crash lineup,and as far songwriting integrity goes, Artimus displayed more of that with his Venomous album alone,than all of the "new"(?) Skynyrd's albums put together. The man has never turned his back on Ronnie, yet every single one of those "original" band members have sh!t talked about Ronnie,more than once...after his death. Thing is, you either get it....or you don't. I will add this--thanks for sharing your opinion,Allan,but your animosity is blinding you to reality. Carry on...
@@stingylizard Mine is NOT a ridiculous rant, Jackass. What I stated was FACT! Pyle is NOT an ORIGINAL SKYNYRD MEMBER. FACT} He has the nerve to bitch about the current LS lineup playing LS songs & then he turns around & dose it himself. So that, makes Pyle in every sense of the a word a HYPOCRITE. And I don't give a rats ass if you like it or not. And another FACT is, what I said all along like it or not, since Pyle is NOT an ORIGINAL LS MEMBER, he has ZERO SAY as to what the current LS lineup does or not. At least the current LS lineup has an ORIGINAL MEMBER in the band, which is more than anyone can say about Pyle's band. And I like both bands & nowhere in my previous post did I say the current LS was the original band, not by a long shot. But at least they still have the only ORIGINAL LS member who's left. As for Pyle's writing skills, that's irrelevant to what I posted. And while on that note, its been said that the current LS's "Last of A Dying Breed" cd sold as many copies as the "Second Helping" album did back in the day from the original band. Well, that's what's been said anyways. Not bad for a band you have a problem with. But coming from you, what would a TRUE FAN of Skynyrd such as myself, would expect from a moron like you who would still buy all the bullshit that comes from a habitual liar like Pyle in the first place. After all, his version of the night the plane crashed, continues to change even too this day. Pyle much like a moronic moron like you, are still butt hurt all these years later. Carry on...
@@stingylizard artimus tries his very best to convince everyone that he and ronnie were lifelong best friends tho they had known each other bout 3 years, long time ago I rooted for artimus to get accepted back in the band but all the bullshit lies he continues to put out glad he's not.To use the plane crash as the main theme in a movie where the rest of movie was bullshit is capitalizing on a terrible terrible accident. Anyway
Yer,right as always. Any IDIOT knows Artimus replaced Bob Burns. One true fact,Artimus knew Ronnie Van Zant personally. I hear you ranting on discrepancy in statements,but it only applies to Artimus. Every surviving Skynyrd has told a hella lot of Tall Tales,and you know that. Mr. Cove. So, leaving their comments out of the mix reveals Allen Cove's hypocritical standard concerning "hypocracy" related to Artimus,ONLY. Thank you for rising above it all and setting the example. Ronnie Van Zant WAS Skynyrd,period. So the current version without him is a big fraud,but one thing for sure. Ronnie hand picked Artimus and he was the drummer of the band until Ronnie died. Allen Cove wasn't the drummer, he didn't survive the crash and walk for help, it was Pyle.(BTW, Ronnie sez THANKS,Artie for saving the rest of my band as best you could;I love you,Brother). I saw Artimus in June in Austin,Texas and he proudly told the audience that he was Bob's replacement,and still hasn't learnt Bob's skills properly but he was trying the best he could to honor Bob's skills and Brother Ronnie Van Zant's legacy...until he no longer is able too. Why? Because he loved Ronnie and misses him deeply. You've made yer point, Allan...you have a very tired old personal axe to grind towards Artimus. One silly fact, Artimus IS incorrect by your account;he wasn't the original drummer, he only played skins on the majority of their albums and has the Gold records to prove it. Artimus included Bob Burns on drums at live gigs every chance he could. Allan, have you ever said a hypocritical thang in yer life? Be a man,share it with us ALL. I know I have,and corrected myself as soon as my head got out me arse. You need some help with sphincter head removal? Anyways, Allen Cove knows all, the rest of us are only imperfect fans. I wonder, would you say all that whiny dwiddle boy rant to Ronnie's face,if you could? TubeYou is truly for GODS like you. Carry on, Son. We still love you!
The magic was gone the moment that plane crashed. You can't bring it back. When Led Zepplin lost their drummer, they too knew it was over and stopped playing as Led Zepplin and went out on their own. That original sound is gone forever. Don't taint its memory with sub -par music.
Scott ..... shredddddddingggg !!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Scott Raines!!
Just had no idea how good AP is !!!! Wow!! Cat is grooving!!!!
Fantastic thanks job! This is a difficult song to play and they nailed it - live!
Difficult is an understatement. Imagine writing it. Long live Steve Gaines!!!!!!!
This is great
Steve Gaines would be proud......
Sit In Bass Player Is Killing! So Is Artie!!
Now that Gary Rossington has passed, Artimus is the very last of the final line up of the original band. Artimus Pyle band keeps it real. R.I.P. to the brothers and sisters past, long live Artimus Pyle.
Great Job! Arty brought the goods!💪👌
Super tight! Artimus Pyle was the drummer for the Only Lynyrd Skynyrd w Ronnie , Rip Bob Burns. Love from Finland.
Nice job on a great song!
Awesome in every aspect. Artimus is right with it, as always. Guitarist is RIGHT on point with a tricky song.
Tough guitar pickin...always loved this track, ,,a little more than the rest
You guys san play at my roadhouse anytime. Great version and so much fun and energy.
That was perfect

Awsome, rock it guys
Holy Sheet!!! Y’all blow the Tribute Band out the water!!!! Great guitar licks!!! Just needs a LP for the tune but the Strat works!!!!
My brother played as drummer in a band who played that song,he was 18; in that time you could have success playing Southern Rock in Germany. Trucky.
nailed it! wow!
Holy shit! These guys are great... ❤️
Iv been a fan for 50 years not bad
Bad ass!!

No Thank you For paying tribute to one of the greats..Steve Gaines.
Steve Gaines wrote and performed this song as crawdad before joining L.S.
Awesome.
Scott Raines. Great player. Great singer.
I remember this one!.
Excellent job. I know of an old band ( no longer with us ) that could only do it this good or better. The drummer still plays but the last original guy just passed. Artimus has always been my favorite drummer too.
Dag, that was good 🤘❤️

He Taugh Me So Much. I'm From PA. I'm a Southern Man.
BEST
Ronnie VanZant has got to be smiling down on these guys.
Holy fuck this goes hard
Artimus is no B.S. serious musicians doing what THEY do , playing the best Sh?t .
Keyboard Player Is Amazing! And That Drummer Guy Ain't Bad either..LOL.
SMOKIN
I like these guys better than the current Lynyrd Skynyrd
You got that right!!! 💕

I was going to say that too, they sound better than the new Skynyrd
Fan fuckingtastic
Don't know where those last comments came from, but I thought that was great!
This band kicks the crap out the band out there touring as "LS"
Sorry to disagree, but this is very good. Like to see you play it. Yes, the original or various version of the original LS with Ronnie is optimal, but with the current LS, I would take these guys over them any day of the week. They play for the love of the music, not for the dollars.
I bet they'd take the money and fame if they could. Skynard used those two things up long ago. These guy's sound great though.
This will never happen but id like to see dale sing for this band
Hello there Mixer. lol We have something in common.
i know this song - lynyrd skynyrd isn't it - really good job
Ain't Robert kearns one of those guys that artimus called : gary and the12 guys he hired last week
Artie I'm Coming to Jax. We Will Finally Meet. I Adore You. I've been a Drummer for 50 Years. Fate.

Not loud and powerful enough but still
Man id pay tickets to see this band 💯....can i bring my ex wife? She might get a little violent.
I really don't like when rock bands say their drummers aren't good enough. . . Artimus Pyle, Peter Criss, Dave Holland
really? heres how you play the solo----->check out my page.
2:12 is cringe
Boy this is really bush league
agreed. it's bordering on embarrassing.
they are trying to cover one of the hardest songs there is I'd give em a C+
I dare you to step up and play this half as well as Scott Raines. Put up or shut up. Clueless prick.
