Awesome! He is such a trooper for Skynyrd and for Ronnie.
Artimus is slowing down. He is looking tired here. I see the changes coming...
Keep calling Rolling Idiots Artimus!
Idiots put other idiots on the cover! Rolling Stone has no credit. Not much better than National Enquirer. Call Time magazine Artimus. Fuck Rolling Stone.

Great find Grayghost. Thank you for posting. This is a good interview. Glad to hear Artimus completed three albums last year. I love hearing Artimus talk about his film and some of the Skynyrd songs. Listening to Artimus, you can tell how much he loves Ronnie and the Skynyrd music.

This video was posted yesterday on an LS fb group and guess who showed up to put her 2 cents worth in. That's right the Black Widow, and she had a lot to say

Atriums has a "Talk about Ronnie" gear that I find to be a bit of a turn off at this point. He isn't even looking at the guy as he's talking. He just does the same speech for every interview. Yea, Ronnie and the original band were great, but not saints and not the most important people who ever lived. Arty is over the top with his supposed "respect" for RVZ. Too much for my liking.

Judy Van Zant Judy Van Zant Artimus wants to be a part of the LS family but continues to say nasty things about me and the band. I met with him last year in Asheville and I thought we were trying to make peace , I guess not! So much misinformation in this interview. And no respect for those of us who have been a part of LS since the “very” beginning and suffered thru the same tragedy he did! So tired of the hate, lies and bs!............... This is one of her comments

Judy Van Zant ... I have no negativity towards anyone. While I miss the original band, I appreciate that the music Ronnie wrote lives on! I may have said things in the past but learned that most fans could care less about the inner bs of the band, so I don’t get involved unless there is some kind of infringement on the rights of Ronnie VanZant. The constant slander of me and others is not healthy or helpful. I don’t care if Artimus tells his story but the LS story is not his to tell, it belongs to those who were there in the beginning!

Judy Van Zant ....not sure where you got the info that Artimus got no royalties, that is not true! This is the kind of inaccurate info that is being spread on these LS sites, in interviews and by folks who do not know the facts. I personally do not know why Artimus left the band, what kind of deal he made when he left. Contrary to what Artimus and many folks think, this “ Yoko Ono of LS” has nothing to do with day to day operations. But I do know he gets royalties!!

Judy Van Zant. Dale did not come between Gary and Allen, there is so much more to it. But this is band business that is just that. Fans really need to stick to enjoying the music and leave the personal business to the family!

Very long thread, but worth reading if you're on FB and join the group. Came away both disliking and liking Judy at times. I give her props for participating in the conversation as long as she did though. Nutshell is that her and Artimus still have festering disagreements on the scope of story rights and apparently Judy takes umbrage at the personal attacks on her (greedy, controlling etc).
That said, of the several Skynyrd & band member FB sites I am a member of, I am not impressed with the True Lynyrd Skynyrd group moderators. A couple were noticeably biased, and frankly, not capable of phrasing directed questions properly. Surprised Judy chose that site as the only one she interacts with.

I listened to the whole thing and I enjoyed the interview. The first thing I wondered is if Artimus really talked non stop without being asked much or if it was edited. I listened but didn’t watch. To me, this video is like a “greatest hits” of a typical Artimus interview. I don’t mean that in a bad way, but minus the hippie handshake, it has it all. He calls Vector mgmt “Rectum” mgmt which was funny. When he talks about the video Ed sent looking really bad and saying he may not live or something like that, but he said he could still play his guitar and did in the video he sent to CMT or something like that. He got choked up and so did I a little. I hate that Ed isn’t around. Another link to the band’s past that is gone. Good thing the music lives on. I’m pretty sure the interviewer was the original lead singer of the band Anthrax. I think he was on their 1st album. Not a big fan but I’ve heard of him before. You don’t have to do much to get Artimus going. I did think he looked tired myself. I’d love to him live.

I thought Ed did not like Artimus, Ed hired Custer for the 1991 album and erased Artimus off the album and Ed disrespected R V Z's boy Tom Dowd on the 91 album. So that shows us as outsiders what Mr. King thought about Artimus or Dowd

This is one of her comments She's right! Artimus took the Skynyrd "martyr" role long ago and even in his older age won't let it go. He has a real passive/aggressive thing going on where he paints himself as the wise old man and the only one who "really" pays tribute to the Skynyrd legacy and everyone else is a fraud, a drug addict, and a liar. At his age he should know that people are complicated and life is never that simple or black and white. I know he has a lot of supporters around here, and I am sure in some respects he is a nice person, but his approach to the old band, the new band, and all of the people involved is a real turn off to me. We get it Artimus, not everyone is perfect. He can't talk about anything Skynyrd without going into his monologues. He hasn't said anything interesting about the subject for as long as I can remember. It's always the same bitching and patting himself on the back.
