Call me crazy, but I think Ed was their best guitarist. Guy could do anything and play anyone's part.

[@Dagger_323]

@@WobblinGoblin1not crazy at all. You just understand more about music and guitar playing evidently than most people who claim Steve was the best (he wasn't).

[@aschule5684]

@@WobblinGoblin1 not crazy at all my friend, I feel Ed's style and song writing was much better suited to Skynyrd and what made them Skynyrd than Steve's was. When Steve came their sound and the overall feeling of their music changed. I also noticed when Steve joined the band he never played Ed's parts the same way Ed did but when Ed later rejoined the band he played Steve's parts as close to perfect as he could. They were both talented and on the same skill level and ironically both born on September 14th 1949

They did Artimus wrong. He should have never been thrown out of the band. He is a gentleman and is a down to earth guy. Gary and Billy and other's on the plane should praise Artimus for pulling himself out of the crash and getting help.

[@BrianTKessler]

It would be hard to have a registered sex offender as a member of the band. And yes, Pyle asserts that he's innocent. Many believe him. Maybe he's even telling the truth. But he still pleaded guilty, and the negative attention from that would drive fans away if he were in Skynyrd.

Bob burns was the founding drummer and was in the band before Artimus. He was actually drumming in this set. Artimus clearly doesn't get along with Gary and the rest of the band, but he was a damn good drummer in his own right, we can agree. On Bob Burns wiki: "On March 13, 2006, he rejoined Lynyrd Skynyrd for one performance as he played alongside Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, Ed King, Artimus Pyle and the Honkettes at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction."

I have loved LS ever since I heard them in college and I still remember exactly where and what I was doing when I heard about the plane crash-I was devastated. I used to play their double LP of their live performance called "One More for the Road" over and over before the crash. One question I have, Artemis Pyle was quoted in Aug. 1991 that he left LS voluntarily because he didn't want to be around the drugs and alcohol in the group any more( on a radio interview). At the same time, there is a line of thinking that he was pushed out the group. Who's right? I would like to know since they are one of my favorite bands since I was a teen.

Kid Rock inducted Skynyrd into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that's why he was on stage with them. Get the fuck over it! Let's hear all you haters try to carry a tune. I'm sure Kid Rock doesn't give a damn what's said about him he sells out stadiums across the damn world. Johnny Van Zant does his brother justice Ronnie is looking down giving his brother a thumbs up. I've seen Skynyrd Johnny kicks ass on that stage.

[@johnmagill3072]

For those of you slamming Kid Rock for being there, listen up. When ever some one or a band is to be inducted into a HOF. They are asked who they want to induct them. LS just happen to pick Kid Rock. So if you want to bitch about it , then bitch to LS they picked him personally.

[@MrMotoflou]

Well I mean...yes you get to pick who will induct you, but you don't have to include them in your performance. 99% of the time the inductor does not take part in the band's performance. I don't give a shit either way, I'm just saying. When I watched this, I did think it was kind of odd that he performed with them and sang. Usually the inducted band just does their thing, it's not like they needed assistance. I guess it was a ratings thing. I would've liked to see the current Skynyrd/tribute just do their best, since they're a touring band.

[@johnmagill3072]

Did you ever consider the fact LS likes him and that's why he was there and performed with them?

I think KR did a respectable job. He has been is Skynyrd's camp for a long time. I think, however, that a better choice to induct Skynyrd might have been Charlie Daniels, since Skynyrd toured with him so much "back in the day", and the fact that he and Ronnie were such good friends.

Kid rock love him or hate him is a huge Skynyrd fan. Billy played the keys on all summer long. Gary gave him his blessing to release it. Cowboy was supposed to have the riff from give me back my bullets but kid rock didn’t think they would approve. Heck even back in 1999 during Woodstock he dedicated a song to RVZ. The guy loves music deeply. But he also loves to run his mouth. A lot

[@psutter5]

Not into the negative. But seeing them all on stage was awesome. Kid Rock up there made perfect scenes. He sampled some of their music that interests a younger generation. Future Lynyrd Skynyrd fans. Now that Gary has passed An Artemis isn't playing in the band at all I hope they still keep playing but everyone knows it isn't the originals members.
