In his book Artimus writes he and Gary were close at one time.

not yet.
When Ronnie broke a bottle in Hamburg Germany- the bloodbath of Germany- and gouged out the backs of both of Gary's hands, it was Artimus Gary went to to have Artimus carefully cut out the stitches. So yes, at one time they were close.

That is precisely what Ronnie used as his excuse to.
I'm sure Gary has never forgotten and maybe never forgiven.
In some ways Gary taking over what is left of his band then profiting from it while wrecking it is payback I suppose.

In some ways Gary taking over what is left of his band then profiting from it while wrecking it is payback I suppose. Cagey, I doubt seriously if Roseington has forgotten. I would say forgiven. Ronnie and Gary were so very close during the time off before the SS tour took off. To say Gary is traveling around with a band of a long list of cover band player replacements to do pay back to Ronnie is a calculated thought process that Roseington has not the brain power to compile or ever complete. Sorry for the run on sentence. What I believe to be the direct motivation for, what you describe, justly, as profiting and wrecking the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd is this: Laziness and Greed. Rossington "had" all the horsepower to stand on his own and still make his place in music. Roseington has screwed every damn soul he has laid eyes on since 1988, in his quest to live off Lynyrd Skynyrd.
