What happens when you have 2 drummers from the same band in the same room? Of course, one of them has to take over lead vocals! Bob Burns, the original drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd, came in for a rehearsal of The Artimus Pyle Band for the 2013 Rock Legends Cruise, where he will be joining the band for portions of their shows. Since Bob originally played Sweet Home Alabama, Artimus (The 2nd drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd) decided he could take on a new role in the band for some fun. Bob and Artimus were both inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as members of Lynyrd Skynyrd for their contribution as the two drummers that played on all of the Gold and Platinum albums with Ronnie Van Zant. Bob Burns was drummer on the original Lynyrd Skynyrd album, and left the band due to personal reasons. Artimus Pyle became the drummer after Bob, and the two maintain a friendship/brotherhood.
