I met artimus tonight and was invited on his bus with my children and dad. Unreal 7 years and 2 days ago I met Ed King. Artimus didn't say much at all when I mentioned meeting Ed. But I didn't know he didnt care for Charlie daniels much any more.that was a little disappointing but he was super nice to me my kids and dad we stayed on the bus for about 20 mins chatting. He said why he did not care for Charlie but I'm not gonna mention it. But it was disheartening as Charlie daniels was my favorite with Lynyrd Skynyrd right behind him.

That’s cool! Artimus was no fan of Ed after the 1991 drama that’s for sure! Did not know he had beef with Charlie Daniels, interesting…

But artimus and Ed played shows well after that and artimus I think felt betrayed or let down when he asked Charlie to speak with him about his accusations and Charlie said he had someone waiting on him to meet (artimus story)basically I think that was Charlie's way of not passing judgement on artimus and artimus took offense and didn't like Charlie's switch on politics. Wonder why Ed and artimus played shows together in the mid 2010's if they hated each other.

That was the gist of it. Unfortunately for Artimus, he’s never going to get out from under the sex offender status, that’s permanent.

I have no insider information, but I think that there was promised money that didn't materialize. $$ was a prime motivator in some of that... I heard a comment that Ed was playing for a lower rate and then it was supposed to increase. When that was supposed to happen, things went sideways. Not necessarily BECAUSE of that, but at the same time. Plus, the RNR HOF induction announcement happened then too. The dynamics may have been a challenge because of NON-legacy members in SNS. There were comments made that seemed to indicate that. Yeah, the stigma is going to hang around whether Arti is/was fully vindicated and innocent or not. Some evil, whether a perpetrator or an accuser using it as a weapon, that causes irreversible damage.

I was not one of them. Ed was very hateful. After putting up with Ed's shyt for a couple weeks on the 1987 tribute tour, I'd had enough. Last show. Dallas, Tx. My hometown for the last 8 years. Embassy Suites Irving, Tx. In the bar before the sound check. Craig's there, Billy, Leon, Larkin and so on. Ed, walks in. Sits at the end of the bar (by his lonesome) and starts to give me shyt. This- that and I should listen to That Smell tonight. Says, Ed has been watching me the last week or so and I need help!!!! Ed is getting stared at by every member of the Tribute Tour Band following. And by Dallas, there was a bunch of us. I had been out the last 10 days with the band. Ed figures out he is not liked much, among us that he has been "Watching" and leaves. As Ed is hitting the door, I yell, " Hey Ed, Have You Ever Heard Rossington play the Alabama Solo?" The old man turns green. Pissed as hell. But, knew to leave ! I will never forget that look Ed gave me, as long as I live. Called out in front of 2 legitimate Skynyrd members and a half dozen crew. Probably a dozen friends and family. All of us enjoying a damn drink before going to the last (sound check) show of the Tribute Tour-1987. And Ed comes down to the bar and makes a complete ass out of himself. That was just how Ed rolled. never making a friend. AND I believe on purpose !
