It shows his full name, the various names he uses including aliases, his photo and it lists identifying features such as scars and tattoos.

He could have gotten it from the crash. He could have gotten it from being shot like he says. He could have gotten it in adolescence. I don't know if he got that scar from being shot but you can't rule it out.

Artimus is a very intelligent man. Very blessed, he's the only one who can take the realms and continue. Thank you sir for your service for our country and the best Southern rock band that ever existed.
God bless both of you and your families, and Skynyrd Nation live forever. may they all be rocking in, Rock and Roll Heaven. we will always love Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This is the first time Ive ever liked Judy. I finally understood that her brick wall to someone singing her husbands music was completely justified. Thats an emotional deal. At least the boys have kept her paid. I know shs does a lot of non-profit, so I hope she's able to live comfortably. Ronnie would want that.
I get alot of flack from the so called Lynyrd Skynyrd nation but in my opinion and its only an opinion - the end was whenwas the plane crashed - I saw them in 89 during the tribute tour and it was great - one of the best I've seen them 3 times since and was not impressed - just the opposite - Greed has been the force for a long time -
Did he say the first time he played with the band was in Greenville SC And the last time he played with yhem....did he just say he only played with the band once ????
@zoramirez-jv9hj I'm so confused he said that in Greenville was his first and last time playing with the band? Does he lie so much he don't know his own truth 😂
I was wondering if Gomer Pyle was broadcast same time as Lynyrd Skynyrd became popular, as way to influence Artimus for control. This answers my question, that there is a known link by Artimus himself, and he's trained to parachute out. Thanks so much for sharing this interview at this time.
@@Noah-gq7pq it appears quite obvious, the two that were competing for control of band were killed and the one that was government's favorite not injured by a crash, shooting him makes it look like it's not a set up.

Judy sure made alot of money,and notoriety, off Skynard's name and gigs ( tribute band gigs ),when in fact I heard he was going to divorce her prior to the crash!
What if she did? She was his wife. Maybe whoever told you this may have been mistaken and now rumors will spread about her. Even if that were true do you that was a kind thing to say?

@@jimbo1959Gary Rossington said a lot of pretty mean things about people "close" to him. Better to let sleeping dogs lie, and let the music we were privileged to be graced by speak for them.
I'm confused. I thought Artimus joined Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1974, replacing original drummer Bob Burns. His first album with the band was Nuthin' Fancy and I'm pretty sure I saw him perform with Skynyrd in 1976 in Cincinnati, OH. So why does he say that the Greenville, SC show was his first and last show with the band?
First Artimus claims that "Greenville SC was the first and last time" he played with the band? Really then how did he get credited for being on 4 albums including "One More From The Road"?????? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@steveeckert8396Welp, that was a huge back down by you. And to think that your snarky comment could have been avoided if you had done about two minutes research.
That's a scary story, Delmer. The Lynyrd Skynyrd band was in a similar plane crash. Gene Odom tells the story of that unfortunate crash landing in several CZcams videos.
Gene Odom tells a lot of stories. He thinks that supposedly Ronnie was going to make him a rich man. Ronnie passed away in the crash so he lost his golden ticket. Now he does cheesy tours of Jax for money and tells his “stories “. I guess he feels like he’s owed something. Look at the YT video where he is pissed because they are changing the name of their high school. He says ‘that’s okay because it’s 98% black now anyway’. Read into that whatever you like.
@@NKellyMullen Who is “them” and why? What did GR ever personally do to you to feel so strongly that you would desecrate his burial site? I’d like to hear your story.
I was just nine years old when i was introduced to Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was the same year the plane crash happened. It was a tough year for my family because my uncle shot an killed himself and his daughter who is my cousin was diagnosed with leukemia. In 1992 my cousin, my sister and her boyfriend and myself an my girlfriend at the time got a chance to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert which was amazing. Then just a few months after the concert my cousin lost her battle with leukemia. She was just 26 years old when she passed away then i lost my girlfriend she decided that it was best for her to go back to Florida where she was from. It's been thirty years ago since I've seen her and I've been praying for that chance to see her again sometime soon. I just wish that i could get to see her one more time. I still have feelings for her all these years. I Love and miss you Marilyn Thompson. Her birthday is September 2 ,1968. Her and i were born in the same month and year that's crazy.
thank you so much for your bio, Mr eg2rd: 1972-lost the love of my life after 5 years w/her. She met someone else in college. I remain unmarried today. I, like you, pray I will see her once more before I die. The LORD bless you sir. (note-saw LS in Memphis in '74d; they blew Clapton off the stage that day; REBEL flags flying everywhere)!!

This interview is after 1990 Earth Day 20th Anniversary when something occurred that brought change of political parties in White House in 1992 elections unexpectedly. That caused new light on the activities of CIA during 1970s-80s as CIA repackaged to bring in many new youngsters to join and embrace CIA in 1990s after decades of teens targeted by and opposed to CIA taking over White House. Goal was to take union jobs from children of Auto Workers and farms of sons' inheritance in 1970s-90s making them oppressed and in poverty while distracted by musical influences. That's why Rock music was embraced by CIA after JFK murder to build arenas just for Rock music starting in 1970s, after attacking it before JFK murder.
@marisolRodriguez618 His name is Thomas Delmer Pyle. I’m sure you would have never served in the Armed Forces and put your life on the line for the USA. No matter what your name is.
So I been watching a lot of stuff about LS, the band, the guys, the crash, etc, and every time Artimus tells his heroic tale, it changes. I've heard nothing but contradictions, big contradictions, and he was the sole hero in every incident. Did he have some sort of head trauma sometime in life? I'm not being offensive, I love the guy, but his stories are nEvEr the same....
Why couldn't you go to Ronnie and tell Ronnie? Man to man we're not getting on this plane. If that means you kick my a** or I'll do the same. We're not getting on the Raggedy airplane that you have to use a stick to check the Fuel You're my brother. You could have sabotaged airplane. I'm not trying to be disrespectful I mean I know now there's no what if
I don't think so my friend Artimus was and still is 100 percent badass. His band The Artimus Pyle Band put the Skynyrd band to shame that they had been putting out there the last 15 years and if you don't believe it watch the footage, Diego.

Thanks for this great footage Brandon. Cool seeing Charlie Daniels roll up.
This is a very old interview but still good.
Skynyrd still has millions of fans that love the music .
So say keep it going and I think all the guys in the band would want that too .
It's now a poseur band. No integrity or tradition at all.
Artimus was the only surviving member that knew that Ronnie was the leader of the band and with his loss Skynyrd should no longer play.
100%
Common...after his passing..everyone knows ..they are now gone
Yet he played with them for numerous years after the reunion until he was fired. I like Artimus but he jumped in on the tribute band as well.
You’re forgetting Rickey Medlocke played with LS in the early ’70’s.

Everchanging!Lol.

You would be right about that
Likely what he meant was, his first show with Skynyrd was in Greenville, and a few years later
his last show was in Greenville.
His first album with Skynyrd was Nuthin Fancy. He first played with the band in Greenville upon joining the band.
Nuthin Fancy was his first.
Yes, that's probably what he meant. And yes, Nuthin' Fancy was his first album with the band (I've edited my original post to reflect that).
