Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash

I was with RVZ for many years, even before Artimus. This is not in the spirit of RVZ or the band as a whole. I Love Artimus just as much as I Love RVZ and all members of the band and this breaks my heart. I am not sure what happened in the production of this film but it is in the wrong spirit of things. I knew RVZ so well I believe that I could have played his part and done it right. There is so much wrong with this film I just can't continue. Artimus, I know you are a very brilliant man. What went wrong here. Ask yourself in your heart, would Ronnie approve of this film, or would he have done it his way? Because I know for a fact anything that he was involved in was done his way or not at all. No spoilers here.

The movie is bad. Although I like Lynyrd Skynyrd very much, this film is clearly made to show the importance of Artimus Pyle in the band - including pointing out that he was the one who got help to save the survivors of the plane crash. After the accident, Pyle only took part in the band's commemorative tour with the other surviving members. After that, he refused to continue playing just because of the money. Since then, he has been excluded from paying homage to Lynyrd Skynyrd's new lineup at shows - which today only has Garry Rossington from the original members-. I think the attitude of Pyle is very certain, that without Ronnie in the band there would be no reason for her to continue to exist. MONEY TALKS!

I love Lynyrd Skynyrd, and I love movies - this had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, this movie is just bad. So much over dramatization and it cannot be overestimated the level self importance Artimus has for himself. Even if all of this story were true, I can't imagine telling the story this way. Do not recommend.

The story was too overdramatized. A couple of incompetent pilots flying a broken down plane carrying a bunch of drug addicts just wasn't something I could get into. I never felt any pity with the exception for Cassie.

First off this isn't a documentary. This is a 1st hand account from someone in the crash made into a movie.

Sure there's no history before Artimus joins the band, because he's the one telling the story ... from his point of view.

Is it all true ? Who knows ? ... it's his account of the story and that's what matters here. I have no reason to not believe him as I'm sure some of it is verifiable.

Gary, Billy, Leon, Allen, Leslie, JoJo ... they didn't make a movie about the crash from their point of view. So, we may never know the facts to 100% certainty ... if even that could make it 100% certain.

In conclusion, I suggest you watch Artimus' recollection of the most tragic plane crash in music history and quit worrying about all the minutiae.
