“Probably Gary will be the only one left standing” that’s crazy to hear Billy say that. Last original member gone. What a sad story. Never stops being sad. Incredible. Unbelievably talented band. Allen doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how talented of a guitar player he actually was.
You are so right about Allen and his playing but also I love Gary's playing I mean just listen to the opening to FREEBIRD he uses a slide to do bird chirps and squeals he also rocks!!!! But in agreement with greatest southern rock band in my book anyhow , I still can't belive the last serving member past on so sad, may God bless them and there families, friends,and fans "FLY HIGH MY FRIEND BECAUSE NOW UR A FREEBIRD"
The fact that Gary took the time to ask him how he got his start and what his first big gig was let’s you know how he is a caring person that is down to earth and humble and likes to get to know people
He was i hear people always talking about the other guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd but Gary was one of the best i will miss this guy my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd member Go Gary together with your friends free and playing again in heaven real Freebirds❤
Been listening and watching Skynyrd my entire life. Saw them in Atlanta at some little club back in the 70s. Loved their music the first time I heard them and nothing's changed except some of the members. Such unique music and lyrics that will live on forever
The most loyal and dedicated fans of any entertainers. We don't "like" Skynyrd or even just love them. They are part of your life when you get ready to listen to music and you start off with Lynyrd Skynyrd that's as far as you get because once you start you just can't turn it off because there's just so many outstanding tunes to listen to or watch some of the live concerts. It's like a drug, once you start you can't stop, you're addicted for the rest of the day or night
@@american_cosmic Two different caliber of people....but I also like the dead too...I grew up to hearing my dad listen to the dead and my mom loved skynryd
I was born and raised listening to Skynyrd they are my top band, and my inspiration to play guitar. Gary Rossington is my favorite guitar player then Allen Ed and Steve. Rest In Peace Gary
I am deeply saddened with the parting of the last original member of one of my favorite music bands EVER. My mother played Classical music to me in the womb back in ‘61. I like and appreciate the genius that is “Classical Music”, but my dear mother was saddened that it wasn’t my favorite. But the term Classic did make an impression………..Lynyrd Skynyrd is the “Classic” and the standard of Southern Rock. I saw this great band in ‘77 and swore I wouldn’t see them ever again. Now that’s true. Every time I play a tune I will be hearing a jam in Heaven. Lynyrd Skynyrd is “free as a Bird now”. Rock on to all my fellow Skynyrd fan brothers and sisters. To my friends who have passed and loved Skynyrd too, let me know how the concert was……………………..yeeeeehawwwwww!
Thank you friend for those fantastic interview video I have been a Skynyrd fan since 1974 and I have times where I just look up interviews to remind me of Lynyrd Skynyrd . When the crash happened I thought the band would never get back together. I love everybody in the band. God Bless you.
Gene Odom said right before the plane crash that Ronnie was going to fire Gary. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that and find it hard to believe. Gene Odom seems to have an agenda for Gary for some reason. Maybe he was jealous of RVZ’s relationship with Gary. He certainly trashes him every chance he gets. Gary seemed like the nicest guy and was certainly a fantastic guitar player. Maybe now that Gary has joined the band up there, Gene will stop making money off of the Lynyrd Skynyrd name.
@@jaygreen1313that would not have been in the band's best interest since Rossington was the heartthrob. No way Ronnie removes that. He knew how valuable Gary was.
@@pewsterbaby My thoughts exactly. Gene Odom originally wouldn’t say who he says he was told by Ronnie that he was going to fire someone. Now that Gary is gone, he comes out with this. He even dumps on Gary’s solo albums, pretty much saying they are crap. I’ve been a Skynyrd fan since “Pronounced” was first released and believe they would not have been Skynyrd without Ronnie’s lifelong friend , Gary Rossington. Now that they are all together up there, maybe Gene should respect them all and let them R.I.P. Free Birds, each and every one of them.
Gary is certainly feeling no pain here, but I’m glad we can see this one. He said some heavy duty things. In the beginning he talked about watching the old footage and he said “damn WE WERE GOOD” “we had attitude”. He nailed it. They were viscous on stage. Incredible.
It's now 2023 and all of the original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd are all gone. There all in Rock and Roll Heaven now. I want to hear from all of the Lynyrd Skynyrd fans out there and give me a big Hell Yeah. Gone but never forgotten. Soar high on the wing's of that Proud Bird in the sky above. Long Live Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Hell yeah,one if the number in my book of Rock N Roll Thanks to everyone who had anything to do with Skynyrd. Love the guys gals and legends of the Band. God rest your souls.
I was so blessed to see Skynyard when I was 18-19 years old, 4 times before the fatal plane crash....My favorite band of all time...❤ Much love & peace to all...
when was the Freebird movie released? if it is old by now, I hope they give this band their due and make a brand new up-to-date FREEBIRD movie or a movie about LS as a band in general.
Fly high freebird best band on earth .They helped save the Fox theater and payed the best music on earth .I am so glad I got to sew Gary Play 60 tomes .Skynyrd is my favorite band of my lifetime 50 years of awesome music @
I feel the same way as a Florida boy that grew up listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd. My pops brought home their first album in 73 and I was hooked from them on🤙🏻
Saw this incredible band twice. First time in San Francisco way back when they first started. The Grateful Dead was supposed to play, but they cancelled and Skynyrd took the stage. What a treat! Second time was in Chico Cal., I believe in 1975 or 1976. We were right up front when my friend ended up passing out due to some heavy drinking and the band staff came out grabbed him and took him in the back room. When the show was over a friend and myself went in the back to get our buddy to drive him home. Met some of the guys in the band, but to this day I forget who they were except do remember seeing Ronnie Van Zandt. I was only 18 and intimidated by everything that was happening. What a band! They were the best!
Try growing Little Gem lettuce. You won`t regret it. Order a 24 watt growlight, power strip with timer built in, a bag of indoor potting soil, and a simple self-watering pot. Or you can do it the very easy way by getting a tabletop hydro garden that does everything. No farm or garden needed. Try basil and buttercrunch lettuce too, bok choy, or arugula. Success is guaranteed!
I saw 'em front row in Minnesota weeks before they fell from the sky, it was amazing. I saw old Skynyrd in Jackson, WY a number of years back, front row of course. I wore my black hat with my big rhinestone Jesus pin on it, I am pretty sure Gary gave me a smile. I stood right in front of Ricky and at the end of the concert he threw picks to the crowd. I reached out my hand in front of the chicks hand next to me and caught 2 picks at once, I gave her one and still have one. That was a great night, I lost hearing in one ear for a few days, totally worth it!
Geez, of course it’s gotta be hard for him to come across the picture of them walking onto the plane! Do you think you could handle constant questions about a plane crash that badly hurt you & your friends and some of them died? Gary was the last of the classic lineup for a reason. He showed grace answering those questions day in & day out! He was also an excellent, truthful storyteller! His work here is done, it’s up to us fans to keep the memories of Lynyrd Skynyrd alive now! Thanks for the fantastic music you left us! RIP Gary Rossington. Play it pretty for Jesus in Heaven!
I got to local crew roadie that show all of ny and pa..me and leon clicked use to stay up 3 ddays at a time...a jerk hit me w thin side of cue stick ...before i could start laughing he threw the 5 ball hit dude in the throat noone knew who he was we got booted so funny he said gimme 3 steps lets gtfoh
Unfortunately Gary will and did pass on march 5 2023 and will be missed dearly but the music lives on thank god for recordings they are still live for all of us in the world who loves them and there music play on up there in heaven I really hope that they all made it to heaven.
Unfortunately he was always high. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an interview where he wasn’t. Poor guy had lots of pain not only mental but physical pain. He can rest now God Bless you Gary 😢
Child of SKYNRD and was devastated when the crash occurred. Just a remarkable story of remarkable entertainers who captured America’s cultural spirit. Thank the Good Lord for Ronnie and Johnny Van Zant.
Outstanding seeing this, my favorite band along with the Eagles, great guitarist love that hat if anyone got some info on what kind it is #Freebird #SkynyrdNation 👍👍
@@philipmartin8577 You're right. I googled it. He wore a Hi-Roller-Pineterest. I KNOW I saw an episode of Pawn Stars where a guy brought in a hat he claimed belonged to Ronnie and if my memory serves me correctly it was a Stetson... but I wouldn't bet my life on it
Ronnie and SRV got their lids from Texas Hatters. They still make the best hats in Texas and that's a huge brag. Cavender's has their Gambler version of RVZ's
That is correct. Ronnie got his hats from the Texas Hatters in Budda,Texas. They were quite expensive but that hat looked absolutely amazing on Ronnie. The hat bands he had were made from rattlesnake skins. The hat model was called The High Roller.
Anytime I think of skynryd I get this picture in my head and it's Gary holding a cigarette while ripping with his slide and his head cocked sideways looking at Ronnie or Allen...lol idk I seen a pic of it and that's the image of skynryd for me now
Gary was by far one of the best 🎸 guitarists the World will ever know. He was the one that kept Lynyrd Skynyrd together for so long as he did.😂 ❤… I just wish that Gary and Artimus Pyle could have worked out their differences before his death. After all, Artimus Pyle is still alive!!!!🎉 The band will not be the same without Gary Rossington…I loved his Guitar work..❤…Fly On Gary…. Lynyrd Skynyrd will always be Lynyrd Skynyrd…Thank you Gary.. for so many lovely years 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I think I saw an interview with these guys and they said Greg Almond told them they were pretty good but they needed to practice 🤷🏼♂️… Skynyrd is definitely one of those few bands that had that special magic. Very thankful for the music that is part of our lives and memories.
According to other band members he was a bad ass long as he had some back up. The night Ronnie got drug off the bus and got 2 black eyes. It's said Gary was hollering slurs out the bus window in the wrong part of town. The dude came to the bus door and drug RVZ out the bus.
Yessir the music lives on,my 9 year old daughter loses her shit when she hears sweet home Alabama!!!It was wild to my parents that I loved Skynard because it was “their” music…then it became my music and now it’s my daughters music…that then makes me think that it’s been “our” music all along!!!I think Ronnie and every member of the band would get a kick out of my daughter singing their songs word for word and just losing herself in their music!!!
Thanks so much, this helps convince me more that we need to ask Gary to come to Flint to talk with the people at 101.5 here and myself to fulfill the potential of Gary's knowledge, and help him with medical problems that could be caused by tetanus unknowingly, I recommend he gets the Tetanus Immune Globulin HyperTET as precaution and see if it helps his heart condition.
@@bobd9868 it's sure strange that there was rumor of Artimus's death just month(s) before something happens to Gary. I felt this may happen, hope his wife is doing well. Anyone with severe medical problems have nothing to lose and much could be gained with tetanus boosters often if it helps reduce health problems that could be associated with tetanus toxin at low level undiagnosed.
My firstborn's mother is from Jax. Met her in 1980 and went 30 years without seeing her after 1980. She used to say cain't as opposed to can't, at least until she moved to New Hampshire...now she sounds like Fran Drescher 😕
Saw Skynyrd in Dallas in the 90s at the outdoor arena where Phil Anselmo of Pantera overdosed. I believe it was called Starplex then. A guy put something in my cup of beer while Tesla was playing. He said to me, "Do you believe in God?" before he fell over so I think he tried to kill me. Luckily I spilled most of the cup of beer or I would have overdosed to death point levels. I`m not sure what it was. Felt like quaalude or liquid methadone. My last memory was seeing Billy Powell dressed in white and a big white piano before I went down. I had to be carried out.
@@visfar101 thank you for the reply helping. Artimus said something between the words "I" and "agree", either the word "just" or the prefix "dis". I'm not sure which it is. BTW, I've seen comments referring to Gary as last surviving Lynyrd Skynyrd member, and articles online saying Artimus Pyle death is false rumor, then found Artimus Pyle shows that started Feb 2 2023 and concert website asking for pictures for their gallery, so if pictures are posted and shows are happening Artimus must still be surviving yet.
NOOOOOO! say it ain't so! What happened to Gary? He was the last of the originals. I'm so heartbroken to learn of this news. Was it a terminal disease or was he taken by heart failure? I'm beside myself right now.
I’m still wondering why Billy said back then that Gary Will probably be the last one standing…maybe he meant he was the toughest most determined one? It’s pretty interesting that he said that cause many fell before Gary did. I love BP but he never come across as a guy who would have that insight. Perhaps it was purely a joke. But, in the context of the interview, I’m not sure why he said that. Good interview.
He’s my favorite guitar player In the band for exactly that reason. I know he cant play like Gaines or Collins but his tone is Incredible and I love his licks.
“Probably Gary will be the only one left standing” that’s crazy to hear Billy say that. Last original member gone. What a sad story. Never stops being sad. Incredible. Unbelievably talented band. Allen doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how talented of a guitar player he actually was.
Gary died just days after this comment
@@brucegwynn47 so very sad
You are so right about Allen and his playing but also I love Gary's playing I mean just listen to the opening to FREEBIRD he uses a slide to do bird chirps and squeals he also rocks!!!! But in agreement with greatest southern rock band in my book anyhow , I still can't belive the last serving member past on so sad, may God bless them and there families, friends,and fans "FLY HIGH MY FRIEND BECAUSE NOW UR A FREEBIRD"

Loved Gary since i was 11. Broome county arena i rem mca like it was yesterday
RIP Gary, we will love you forever ♥️
Will the circle be unbroken...."never"...R.I.P. Gary...🙏❤
America’s #1 band ! My opinion.
I'll second that for sure.
Here here!!👍
Absolutely
Them and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
My absolute favorite band as well. Since first hearing them in 73. My pops was a DJ and brought me home the album at 7!!
The fact that Gary took the time to ask him how he got his start and what his first big gig was let’s you know how he is a caring person that is down to earth and humble and likes to get to know people
The part about Marlo, Donald and Phil was hilarious.
That’s really how a true Florida boy is. God bless him and all the Skynyrd boys!
He was just a good dude, and that awesome swamp accent doesn't mean he was anything but super smart. They don't make 'em like that very often.
Never seen this before...Skynyrd's music will live forever.. I was in Jax. in 72 from the beginning ,and I'll be listening till the end ..
Gary was a cool cat. Salt of the Earth. Such an amazing, talented guitarist and songwriter -underrated.
He was i hear people always talking about the other guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd but Gary was one of the best i will miss this guy my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd member Go Gary together with your friends free and playing again in heaven real Freebirds❤

Eh, fans are the same regardless of what band they're fans of. I see a lot of similarities between Skynyrd Nation and the Deadheads.

To think all of the original members are gone now, you've gotta feel bad for Gary seeing all his friends die before him feeling so helpless and upset.
Classy Artimus gave props to Bob Burns and C Daniels.
What are the odds that 6 of the 7 band members all grew up within a few mile radius mind blowing
I think I saw an interview with these guys and they said Greg Almond told them they were pretty good but they needed to practice 🤷🏼♂️… Skynyrd is definitely one of those few bands that had that special magic. Very thankful for the music that is part of our lives and memories.
Gary was the baddass
No Ronnie and Burns no dought were the tough guys I'm sure Ol Prince Charming could be tough also he was the younger one so he had to be tough
Gary was Definitely the Badass!!!

I've always liked Lynyrd Skynyrd, but not that song... I like "That Smell" and "Saturday Night Special" - songs with attitude.
You have a budding performer on your hands. Best of luck to you both.
Thanks so much, this helps convince me more that we need to ask Gary to come to Flint to talk with the people at 101.5 here and myself to fulfill the potential of Gary's knowledge, and help him with medical problems that could be caused by tetanus unknowingly, I recommend he gets the Tetanus Immune Globulin HyperTET as precaution and see if it helps his heart condition.
Too late :(
@@bobd9868 it's sure strange that there was rumor of Artimus's death just month(s) before something happens to Gary.
I felt this may happen, hope his wife is doing well.
Anyone with severe medical problems have nothing to lose and much could be gained with tetanus boosters often if it helps reduce health problems that could be associated with tetanus toxin at low level undiagnosed.
Im the one that found this on the Brown Archives site. About 4 weeks ago. Glad to see it got on youtube.
Did you find the other 2 videos?
I have this on DVD
Who was on the other vids? I'd love to see them....
The BEST !!!
I'm glad they didn't put the date in when this interview was, otherwise everyone would know.
Around 1995
My firstborn's mother is from Jax. Met her in 1980 and went 30 years without seeing her after 1980. She used to say cain't as opposed to can't, at least until she moved to New Hampshire...now she sounds like Fran Drescher 😕
RIP
Saw Skynyrd in Dallas in the 90s at the outdoor arena where Phil Anselmo of Pantera overdosed. I believe it was called Starplex then. A guy put something in my cup of beer while Tesla was playing. He said to me, "Do you believe in God?" before he fell over so I think he tried to kill me. Luckily I spilled most of the cup of beer or I would have overdosed to death point levels. I`m not sure what it was. Felt like quaalude or liquid methadone. My last memory was seeing Billy Powell dressed in white and a big white piano before I went down. I had to be carried out.
High as a kite
Looks like interview is from 1997 (96?). Would be great to have this in the info box.
cool.
The interviewer called Gary "Dale"😂
🇺🇸🎸🎶🙏🎶🎸🇺🇸
Is there a transcript? Didn't quite hear what Artimus said at 21:35 about agreeing with Billy about something.
He said "what do I think of the Brothers? The Allman Brothers?"
@@visfar101 thank you for the reply helping.
Artimus said something between the words "I" and "agree", either the word "just" or the prefix "dis".
I'm not sure which it is.
BTW, I've seen comments referring to Gary as last surviving Lynyrd Skynyrd member, and articles online saying Artimus Pyle death is false rumor, then found Artimus Pyle shows that started Feb 2 2023 and concert website asking for pictures for their gallery, so if pictures are posted and shows are happening Artimus must still be surviving yet.
Watch if I leave here tomorrow you’ll feel even more of the majic of the misunderstood band in history
Gary was a great guy who lived through A LOT. He sounds kinda wasted here...
FREEBIRD🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
What year is this from?
I think he pissed Gary off a little bit by calling him Dale. @10:24
NOOOOOO! say it ain't so! What happened to Gary? He was the last of the originals. I'm so heartbroken to learn of this news. Was it a terminal disease or was he taken by heart failure? I'm beside myself right now.
Heart
I’m still wondering why Billy said back then that Gary Will probably be the last one standing…maybe he meant he was the toughest most determined one? It’s pretty interesting that he said that cause many fell before Gary did. I love BP but he never come across as a guy who would have that insight. Perhaps it was purely a joke. But, in the context of the interview, I’m not sure why he said that. Good interview.
Not knowing Gary personally, as Billy did, we'll never know..
cool that artie said bob burns was the best drummer,,he was he played what fit
Don't usually see Art in shades
Gary is my go-to guy, so much so I have tried to copy his tone!
He’s my favorite guitar player In the band for exactly that reason. I know he cant play like Gaines or Collins but his tone is Incredible and I love his licks.
I've. Never. Seen freebird. The. Movie. Does. Anybody. Know. Where. I. Can. See. It.
Love Gary but you could tell he was on something in this interview
"Georgia Boys"
Gary must've suffered so much pain physically and mentally. Did he speak differently after the accident or is this drink / weed / pain medication ?
