#MollyHatchet #FlirtinWithDisaster - Hudba
3 guitars, bass and a drummer. No fancy keyboards, just pure southern guitar.
So back in the day... this was everyday music. drivin around with the windows down and the music playin loud. Areosmith, Zeppelin, the Who, Foghat, it was common every day stuff. We didnt realize then, how it would go downhill as the end of the era faded.
🎸
Sad it's gone, and I'm 66 years old and took all that fabulous music for granted. It was just like breathing hearing this music.
It was everywhere, and Lord Knows I never thought it would disappear.
A-MEN to that!!!!
Truth!
At 63.......I fell in love with them all over again 💕
This entire album is FIRE from start to finish. We wore it out back in the day. Whiskey Man, Gunsmoke, Boogie No More.....
Danny Joe Brown is such a vastly underrated singer!! One of the best singers ever. R.I.P DANNY JOE BROWN!!!
They actually had 3 guitar players who could all deliver blistering solo's each. They worked well together too.
Their drummer, Bruce Crump, was the Neal Peart of Southern Rock. RIP Bruce.....band.
Yep. I think he could have easily switched to Rush if they had ever called on him. He was very gifted, for sure.
Bruce was the "Doctuh" 😉
Both they and Skynyrd were from Jacksonville.
After Skynyrd died, the "Who's gonna take their place" was raised. Molly Hatched and 38 Special both stood up, said "hold my beer." And let her rip.
Remember the concert in 1981 on the Flirting with Disaster tour. The song actually released on 1979. My husband at the time, actuality got to help their roadies load the truck after the concert. Not sure how he did that but he did lol. Love this song still today 43 years later.
I wasn't the only teen who got a speeding ticket back in 1979 with this song blasting though the speakers!!!!
Yep, them and George T-good.
The band’s first 2 albums defined them. Frontman Danny Joe Brown had to quit the band after the 2nd album due to diabetes which eventually killed him. The rest of the original band have all passed, a few of them in their 50s due to “hard living”. MH was the last southern rock band to achieve success as the genre faded. I saw them twice & they were incredibly exciting. They even did their version of Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” as an encore, which was enormously ballsy, but they pulled it off. RIP all those guys.
Molly Hatchet is an AWESOME band. You really need to go down that rabbit hole. My fav is Dreams I'll Never See. Guarantee you'll love it, has a great guitar solo as well. Great cover art on all their albums.
That is a deep rabbit hole lol. I have been a Hatchet fan since e 1983. Up to that point I was all country. This isn't even their best song lol. The Rambler, Fall of the Peacemakers, Dreams I'll Never See, the whole first album. Molly Hatchet was famous for pinning you to the wall from the first note. Just Nota fan of anything after 89
Dreams live with Danny Joe and all three guitars with the up and down in sync absolutely rocks!
I remember when my dad told me this was his favorite song when he was a teenager in high school driving around in his ‘69 Chevelle. He passed away when I was 18 y/o just a couple months before graduation and everytime I hear this song I can’t help but to crank it up to the max and think of him. ❤️❤️
Molly Hatchet is Southern Rock with teeth!
Gator Country is a killer tune. If you want to know the names of all the southern rock bands listen to this song because he names them ALL !!!!!
Growing up in Jacksonville, Molly were huge. We loved them. Had the honor of meeting most of them before they passed away
My sweet little Mother used to whistle for us to come in at night. Thank you for the wonderful memories ♥️
The artist on the album was Frank Frazetta who also did cover art for re-releases of Robert E Howard;s Conan novels. I had a Molly Hatched concert jersey that had that Frazetta art on it. Coolest shirt i ever owned.
The whistle was the signal to trade off solos between Dave Hlubek and Duane Roland. A Segway.
Indeed, the famous horse whistle from Danny Joe!
Like most, I know exactly where the whistle is and saw the “Dukes of Hazzard” movie was coming on. My girl didn’t want to watch, I told her “The sound track’s worth it” I named the song from the first note (easy, nothing like it), but when I whistled on time, it blew her mind.
Roy Clarke and Glenn Campbell could go from banjo to guitar in a heartbeat and both could play them like heavy metal. Southern guitar solos are like a barbeque.
imagine driving to high school with this playing in the country 5 miles out and you get to the parking lot and have to shut it down and got to school........
I don't know why I've not heard Molly Hatchet until now. I was certainly around during their heyday. Great tune, thanks!
I remember the radio ads when they were coming to town; "The Triple Guitar Attack of Molly Hatchet."
Ronnie Van Zant, Fozzy Bear, and Charles Barkley… best description ever!😂 That’s why I love watching you guys!
One of the best live bands I ever saw. Saw then at a place called Shiley Acres near Inwood WV. Probably around 1986 or so. It was a stage set up in a pasture surrounded by a chain link fence. Shows were always on Sunday and I think they started at noon. You couldn't buy beer on Sundays in WV until 1pm on Sundays and there was a 7/11 about a mile from the venue. The parking lot was packed with people waiting to but beer and you generally missed the opening act waiting in line for beer. They came out on stage firing off shot guns and for a small band sounded really good. And they were genuinely having fun which made it all the better.
After the Skynyrd disaster , these boys came along and carried the torch. Sweet guitar driven Southern Rock. May the all Rest In Peace.
Molly Hatchet was one of those bands that were always opening up a concert back in the late 70's and early 80's along with bands like Legs Diamond, Axe, Point Blank, and UFO. Y'all should check other songs from them like Gator Country, Fall of the Peacemakers, and Bloody Reunion (different singer). Unfortunately all the original members off this record have all passed away....R.I.P.
Southern rock is it's own genre/thing. Can you say the Allman Brothers, the Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc... Also, check out the Tedeschi/Trucks band for the same vibe currently. They just kill it.
I played in a southern country rock back in the 80s . We played : Let The Good Times Roll . A good song for you 3 guys to check out.
I remember flying alway's down a two lane county road in the in the Texas hill country between Boerne and New Braunfels in a 76' Firebird Formula with Flirting with Disaster and other southern rock blasting through my speakers on the way to the gig...the best of times 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎶
Last year NY resolution was to see one concert Every month! Did it too! Saw Molly Hatchet October 23, still rocking hard with new lead singer who is about 25!! Rest are around 65-70. They are recording new album in UK at Abbey Road!! Be out in April ish. Amazing sound these guys still have!
One of the best rock songs ever! And shoutout to the bassist who doesn't get the same coverage as the drummer and guitar. I understand it, they are standouts but listen to the awesome bass too!
This is one of those songs that will get you a speeding ticket if you aren't careful. lol
A lot of well-deserved 'heys' from Nick on this one. Kick-ass Southern rock. I LOVE this song. Probably my favorite Southern rock song. The music is incredible, but the lyrics are awesome, too. Next time you get around to them, Dreams I'll Never See would be a great choice. It's totally different from this one but equally as good. Great Southern rock guitar solo along with a dreamy tempo in the rest of the song. I don't listen to Molly Hatchet often but when I do, so do my neighbors.
Yep, definitely!
I saw Molly Hatchet in concert in Wilmington, N.C. in 1978. Great concert. Musicians had a lot of talent back them.
I have seen Molly Hatchet Multiple times, always GREAT Show!
Me too. I saw them 7 times. There will never be another Danny Joe Brown
If the statement "No officer, I couldn't have been going more than the speed of sound" had a theme song.
I saw Molly Hatchet open for Reo Speedwagon in 1979. A great live band.
A little surprised you guys haven't delved into some Molly Hatchet yet. Admittedly it was 1981 when I moved to E-Town from the Chicago area, but you couldn't have gotten through a week without hearing them back then. Your elders failed you! 😏
…The part with the tasty , jazzy drum part with the airy guitar overlay , and Danny Joe chimes in “…It ain’t for everybody “. No I guess it ain’t, but it sure ‘nuff works for me!
I read that theband was on the road and someone cut off their vehicle and the driver said, "that guy was flirtin' with disaster." They like the phrase and sat down and wrote the song.
I have a theory that a true sourhern rock song has to have either a whistle, a laugh, or a gravelly growl. This has all three.
WHAT MEMORIES YOU-GUYS brought back, TODAY!! :) GREAT REACTION!!! Great Southern Sound!! LOVE the WHISTLES!!! Such a MOVIN' TUNE!!! Great summer song!! Love their album art, too - if I'm not mistaken: Frank Frazetta.... HUGS TO YOU-GUYS!!! :) ❤❤❤❤❤
You hear whistles in many Southern Rock songs. Saw Molly Hatchet twice in the early 80"s, awesome shows. 3 guitars and the bass all moving in sync. Danny Joe never stands still unless he's singing, he's dancing, clapping and moving on that stage. 🤘
Molly Hatchet still gets me going!
This, and "The Breeze" by Skynyrd, are the ultimate Southern rock!!!
Full-Tilt BOOGIE!
Just being alive is flirting with disaster.
Couldn't beat that triple threat of Guitars from Dave Hlubek, Duane Roland and Steve Holland the awesome Bass of Banner Thomas and the pounding of the Bruce Crump Drums and we cannot forget the Voice Danny joe Brown,the original lineup all have passed away so no original members are with us, the Molly Hachet around now is nothing more than a tribute band IMO.
song was inspired by Dave Hlubek and a near fatal motorcycle accident.
his name is pronounced (loo-beck) the h is silent.
one of the few bands to feature 3 guitar players who can alsonplay lead.
Memories of pedal to the floor in a 1973 Dodge Charger passing everyone and burying the speedometer and feeling the front end wanting to float
The album artwork was done by legendary fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta. Search his work along with Boris Vallejo.
Now it is time to hit " Green Grass and High Tides " by The Outlaws, a Southern Rock classic. Guitar heaven!
I went and seen AC/DC open for them with Bon Scott on vocals. About 5 months later Bon Scott was dead. The thing is even though I stayed and Molly Hatchet sounded great, half of the audience left after AC/DC.
I remember my ex playing Nascar '98 and I think this was the song they played for Poconos Speedway. My favorite Molly Hatchet song is Gator Country.
The ULTIMATE high-hat song is Walking on the Moon by the Police. Stewart Copeland puts on an absolute clinic. Y’all should definitely give that one a listen!
Sting's Seven Days with Vinnie Coliata holding that 5/4 time signature on the hi-hat
Hopefully THIS TIME it won’t get taken down
Molly Hatchet was another Florida southern rock band from the '70's that utilized the 3 guitar lineup, the other 2 being Skynyrd and The Outlaws. You guys should check out Gator Country or Bounty Hunter by Hatchet next.
Molly Hatchet did a great cover of the allman brothers “dreams” they called it “dreams I’ll never see” it was an exceptional cover
Danny Joe Brown was the singer. Sadly, he has passed away as well as the bassist Riff West. They were good fronds of mine and I always had back stage passes. You have never seen such fast finger works on the guitars. Dreams I'll never see is one of their songs that showcases their true style too.
I didn't get the whistling at first....till I saw them live on TV...like Ronnie Van Zant, Danny Joe Brown would whistle and point to one of the guitarists...as if to say 'okay....now YOU solo!'
My best fried in High School got into Molly Hatchet in large part because of the Frank Frazetta cover art.
Molly Hatchets song Dreams I’ll never see opened my eyes to the fact that I was a rocker😂
There was something special in the water (or whiskey) up in Jacksonville Florida, back in the 70s! They produced, Skynyrd, Hatchet and Blackfoot! The Allman Brothers also had strong ties to the area. I've heard that, Whipping post, was written there.
Be on a road trip, have this song come on, turn it up ... and you will get a speeding ticket.
Even though they’re from Canada, This type of hard tock is called “ Southern fried rock “
My Mom would whistle for us to come home too! We could here her ALL over the neighborhood. Thanks for bringing up that memory for me.
Dare you to blast this and stay under the speed limit.
When we were in middle school back in the early 80s when this came out we used to think that last line was “Been out and buttfuck yeah!” 😂
Listen to Gator Country, boys.
Frank Frazetta, The guy who painted those famous Molly Hatchet album covers lived in the Pocono Mountains in Pa. We visited his little shop in the mid 80's . Very cool dude and seeing those famous paintings without the Molly Hatched name on them was quite the experience.
Molly Hatchet is my all time favorite Southern Rock Band mainly because they were a bit heavier than Lynryd Skynryd or their ilk.
Fun reaction.
They were my FIRST ever Concert, in 1979, in Daytona, in a Small Auditorium called the Peabody. My Band mates all went. We got to Meet them backstage and were Friends for Many Years! The Story that I Heard about the Origin of this song was, they ran off the Highway in their Tour Bus and almost got Killed from the Impact! I think it was Banner Thomas, the Bassist, that said, "Damn Boys, we're Really Flirtin' With Disaster in this Old Bus!!!" Then, Dave Hlubek (say LOO-beck) started Writing the Lyrics. Here's info on their 1st Album> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Hatchet_(album)
Wife Speaking...WOW..brings back memories.., I was a night club owner and we ( my partner and I ) hired them to do a concert at my club in 1997..You talk about the Alpha Males coming out...They sure did..!! !And there's nothing wrong with that!!!!! We completely sold out that night..Wow..What a memory!!!
One of the best live acts out there. Guess you found that out that night. Good stuff.
I saw them on tour same year in 97. brainerd minnesota.
Phoenix in 77-78. They opened for The Outlaws & stole the show! Sad for the Outlaws but they were boring after their energy!!
@@pammcnary Opened for bob seger richfield coliseum, may9th 1979 - blew bob out, kids today have no clue.
I saw them live twice. First time was at a club in Panama City Beach. Spinnakers was the place. They put on a great show.
This song rocks! I flashback to the mid'90s when I saw them in a club in a small resort town in upstate NY (Lake George). Before the band took the stage, they came over to where I was at the Foosball table and they allowed me to kick their butts for a couple beverages (little did they know they were 'flirtin' with disaster') 😁 Then they got up there rocked the place!
""DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA " will BLOW you away xx PLEASE
Their version of Dreams (an Allman Brothers song) is 🔥!
All we needed back in the day was the Molly Hatchet 8-track and tall boy Budweisers to get the party going!!
When I was a kid back in the late 70s and early 80s, this song always induced a few extra power slides around the corners in our beat up trucks and cars when we were out two trackin and six packin after school. Great reaction guys. Thanks for sharing and bringing back some wonderful memories.
What a time to be young. We all experimented with car stereo's, FM radio was new and great music was everywhere. I miss the 70's and 80's. Todays music can't hold a candle to that time and the musicians didn't have "autotune'.
Funny he reminds you of Ronnie Van Zant because this vocal inflection is definitely a Ronnie Van Zantism >>> 10:15 >>> *_". . . and you are TOO baby!"_*
I saw them once. Incredible show. Flirtin With Disaster tour.. I won't get into details. LOL! The artworks for their album covers was done by Frank Frazetta... Also known for Conan the Barbarian novels artwork.
This song will most certainly get you a speeding ticket.
What doesn't get enough comment, the 3 gold standard lead guitarists. Not just lead, and rhithym. 3 serious LEAD dudes, all 3 equally great in their own friggin way. Not recognized enough.
they have 3 lead guitarists which makes the changes so smooth
Proud of My Boys from Jacksonville. I knew Danny Joe's sister-in-law, Jeanne from my job working at Y103. I never got to meet him but got in free to their shows, (thank you radio station perks!).
It is impossible to drive the speed limit with this song
Hatchet! 1980, high school. Loud as it’ll go! Angus Young of AC/DC in an interview back in the 80’s identified Dave Hlubek (Hatchet lead guitar and founding member) as one of his prime guitar hero’s because, “He never missed a cord”.
Drank beer smoked weed cruising listening to this in high school.
Molly hatchet was one of the first bands with a 3 guitar attack
Saw them open for Foreigner in January 1979 in Portland OR. One of the great concerts I saw ever.
If you want HI HAT " Walking on the moon" by the Police. Stewart Copeland is the hi-hat master. Most drummers open or close it, he can play 500 shades of close or open
A epic song. Every 1st reaction channel should start with this song. They will go back to it and say wow I think we missed something this song is actually epic.
Yeah, this one was a rockin' staple in southern bars & clubs. Great song! Thanks for your reaction.
Saw them live several times. They sounded just as good Live. Awesome group of men just jamming out.
This, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” by The Allman Brothers and “Green Grass and High Tides” by The Outlaws are my favorite Southern Rock songs. Great reaction guys!
Reminds me of the days playing NASCAR video game with my son over 20 years ago. This song would play on a loop with a couple of other tunes during the race.
Great song
This is in your face, Friday night, meet your friends at the 'Ole Roadhouse, beer-soaked bravado -- BUT with some tightly synced percussion.
"Sneaky" is correct; When the Molly boys make music,.it's anything but a hatchet job ;)
That rowdy outro
One of greatest Southern Rock songs ever, just 100MPH start to finish. I gotta be careful when this comes on when I’m driving 😊 -(Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Kansas, .38 Special etc…oh yeah, cruising Friday & Saturday nights!)
I thought that was so funny 🤣 when you raised your fist and said “bring southern rock back”✊🤟😆 mainly because it had actually hit a sizable slump at that time what with the tragedy of Lynyrd Skynyrd still fresh on everybody’s minds and then all of a sudden here comes this band outta nowhere sounding like a cross between Skynyrd and Boston with the harmonizing solos and the powerhouse sound! It got everybody’s attention and signaled a resergence in the whole rock scene and bands like 38.Special and Blackfoot made their presence known! It was almost as if they had taken the torch from bands like Skynyrd and Marshal Tucker Band and others that had defined the southern rock sound in the early seventies and took it to the next level in the late seventies and into the eighties. I was in junior high and high school during those years! Those were some of the most memorable times of my life and that was the soundtrack when you were growing up 30 miles from Nashville🤠🤭✌️🫶🤟🎸
My sister and brother went to their concert- early 80s. They still have the concert shirts..😄
Thanks guys. So glad you reacted to this song. It has always been one of my favorites. I love the drums and the guitar solo, but my favorite parts are when the guitar in the second chorus comes in. He never plays the exact same thing. It is always slightly different which I always thought was a cool effect. When Ryan said he could dance to it, I had to laugh. I used to go in my basement and crank up the sound and dance to it all the time.
Fozzie Bear!😂😂😂😅😅
Esophogus? Dudes got two wind tunnels flying out of his face, man...and a raised palette!!😂
Omgosh… 38 Special… Caught Up In You! You guys would love that song!
This is the ultimate trucking song
Someone else's PRIVATE CURRENCY of US. Flirting with Megazaster.
During the 60's and 70's there were quite a few southern-rock bands that came from the south. So many of the musicians and singers would leave one band to go join another band, or they wanted to pursue a solo career; -- Southern rock is a genre I truly adore along with the blues. So, I thought I'd make a few suggestions in case you're interested. First, I found no "CCR" that you have reacted too, and even though "Creedence Clearwater Revival" is from California their style of music was labeled "swamp rock, bayou country" and you pretty much can't go wrong with a "CCR" song, they are all ❤🔥Here's one of their songs "Creedence Clearwater Revival -Who'll Stop The Rain" Their music represents Louisiana southern rock. 2nd) I believe you've reacted to one or two songs by the "Allman Brothers" one of the finest blues-rock, jam bands you'll ever hear. Here's another one of their songs and this is a live performance, if interested. "The Allman brothers Band - Midnight Rider -9/10/1973 - Grand Opera House (Official)" and this band "Molly Hatchet" these three bands were true pioneers along with some other groups that spear-headed the southern rock--roots rock movement. --And yeah, you are so right...southern rock does have its own sound and it stands alone as its own genre of music. The same way that rockabilly stands alone outside of country music. I guess you could say they're more like a "sub-genre" of rock like "rockabilly" is a sub-genre of country music. (If that makes any sense) This was really enjoyable guys, loved jamming out with Ya'll for a min.
