#MollyHatchet #FlirtinWithDisaster - เพลง
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 💕
Danny Joe Brown is such a vastly underrated singer!! One of the best singers ever. R.I.P DANNY JOE BROWN!!!
This entire album is FIRE from start to finish. We wore it out back in the day. Whiskey Man, Gunsmoke, Boogie No More.....
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.
Molly Hatchet is Southern Rock with teeth!
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. ❤️❤️
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.
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!
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.
Growing up in Jacksonville, Molly were huge. We loved them. Had the honor of meeting most of them before they passed away
Molly Hatchet still gets me going!
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.
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
My sweet little Mother used to whistle for us to come in at night. Thank you for the wonderful memories ♥️
Omgosh… 38 Special… Caught Up In You! You guys would love that song!
Ronnie Van Zant, Fozzy Bear, and Charles Barkley… best description ever!😂 That’s why I love watching you guys!
I remember the radio ads when they were coming to town; "The Triple Guitar Attack of Molly Hatchet."
I saw Molly Hatchet in concert in Wilmington, N.C. in 1978. Great concert. Musicians had a lot of talent back them.
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.
I don't know why I've not heard Molly Hatchet until now. I was certainly around during their heyday. Great tune, thanks!
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 !!!!!
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.
Yeah, these boy's can play! 😁Now you need to hear their version of Greg Allman's "Dreams," it's a rarity when a cover is better than the original. The guitar work is both, melancholic and sublime...
They did a great job there, 100 percent
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.
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!
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.
Love Me Some Molly Hatchet
All I can say is that I treasure all of the music from back in the day. The 70's was such an amazing time for rock bands period. Doobie Brothers, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Foghat, ZZ Top, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and of course Molly Hatchet. You had the best singer songwriters with James Taylor, Seals and Croft, John Denver, Loggins and Messina. No better R&B than in the 70's too. The blue eyed soul of Hall and Oates, Michael McDonald and we had some of the best music of all time from Earth, Wind and Fire, Sly and the Family Stone, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and you can't leave out MJ. His Off The Wall album and Jackson's Triumph are definitely two of my favorites. I notice you have reacted to a number of MJ and Paul McCartney songs... if you want to hear something fun - react to Mick Jagger and the Jackson's song "State of Shock". It is so much fun just because you don't ever expect this pairing. I loved disco too. I started dancing with a partner and we worked with some local dance instructors to choreograph some routines. Of course initially it included the Bee Gees and normal disco tunes but my favorites were the routines we came up with for Toto's Georgy Porgy and Boz Scaggs Jojo. I thought it was so amusing to be dancing to a song that sounded as sophisticated as Jojo when the lyrics are talking about a drug dealing pimp. No one ever seemed to catch on. I love the 80's too. My favorite artist of all time is George Michael - You need to do something live from him. He was just spectacular. George has so many wonderful duets. He has one with Paul McCartney called Heal the Pain and I honestly have a hard time being able to tell which one of them is singing at any one time. They sound so familiar but beautiful together. After Paul's wife Linda passed away, they held a memorial concert for her. George sang Paul's song The Long and Winding Road and I well up everytime I hear it. Paul said George did a better job with the song than he did. Anyway, the 70's was when I really started listening to music and what an amazing time it was. I am so glad you guys are giving yourselves the gift of hearing these songs and letting us watch. So fun!
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. 🤘
After the Skynyrd disaster , these boys came along and carried the torch. Sweet guitar driven Southern Rock. May the all Rest In Peace.
Now it is time to hit " Green Grass and High Tides " by The Outlaws, a Southern Rock classic. Guitar heaven!
…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 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 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎶
This, and "The Breeze" by Skynyrd, are the ultimate Southern rock!!!
Full-Tilt BOOGIE!
Hopefully THIS TIME it won’t get taken down
Dare you to blast this and stay under the speed limit.
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.
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.
Great Riding Song
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is the ultimate trucking song
Loved Molly Hatchet drank a lot of beer listening to them RIP Danny Joe Brown
Dreams I'll Never See and Gator Country are fire!
Their version of Dreams (an Allman Brothers song) is 🔥!
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!
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.
Just being alive is flirting with disaster.
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.
Drank beer smoked weed cruising listening to this in high school.
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.
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! 😏
Saw them open for Foreigner in January 1979 in Portland OR. One of the great concerts I saw ever.
I saw Molly Hatchet open for Reo Speedwagon in 1979. A great live band.
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.
Yeah, this one was a rockin' staple in southern bars & clubs. Great song! Thanks for your reaction.
Love my hometown boys!
I have whistle radar from childhood too!
Saw them live several times. They sounded just as good Live. Awesome group of men just jamming out.
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!
Molly Hatchet, love southern Rock Little Feat, 38 special, Rossington Collins. Brings back memories! Good reaction guys❤️. More Atlanta Rhythm Section Imaginary Lover, or more Allman Brothers. Pure Prairie League "Amiee, Angel, Early morning riser. Kenny Loggins and Messina"Angry eyes, Danny's Song, Pooh corner" Steely Dan: Peg, Gaucho, Babylon Sisters, FM, Home at Last, Hey 19, Bad Sneakers, Time out of Mind; Fleetwood Mac "The Chain", Heart "Even it up" Candy Dulfer "Sax a gogo" Fourplay "Eastbound & between the sheets"
Dreams I'll never see is one of my favorites from them. They may have not be the original of it, but they sure perfected it.
Great speeding ticket music!! Banging!❤
In this genre of music, it doesn’t get any better!
they have 3 lead guitarists which makes the changes so smooth
My first concert I went to. 1982 in Jacksonville FL
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!
If you love great high hat and drum kit work, check out more Police. "Driven to tears" into "when the world is running down". back to back tracks. Stewart Copeland one of the best drum workers ever.
This is one of those songs that will get you a speeding ticket if you aren't careful. lol
My sister and brother went to their concert- early 80s. They still have the concert shirts..😄
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.
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'.
These guys can play. My favorite is Dreams I'll Never See - extremely suitable guitar work.
Nice job mimicking the fiddle. Weird, yet awesome!
Many speeding tickets were wrote because of this song 🎵
Boogie no more or Dreams I’ll never see are my all time faves! saw them 2 times in concert and I tell ya there was loads and loads of danincin !
Molly Hatchet did a great cover of the allman brothers “dreams” they called it “dreams I’ll never see” it was an exceptional cover
I saw them in concert. Kick ass second solo. Wowzer!
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!'
Great band to see live. I saw them with Rush in '79.
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.
This song will most certainly get you a speeding ticket.
Guitar & drum fills GALORE !
Your next southern rock reaction needs to be Ozark Mountain Daredevils’ If You wanna Get To Heaven ( You Have To Raise A Little Hell)
Be on a road trip, have this song come on, turn it up ... and you will get a speeding ticket.
A great song from one of the greatest albums of all time. 17:00 !
Adding this to my Speeding Ticket playlist, right alongside Kickstart My Heart
Great song!!!! It's definitely a classic of southern rock 🤘❤
Instant bobbleheads lol love it !
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 one of the best rock songs EVER!
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.
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
Guaranteed to get ya a ticket for rockin down the hiway
Saw them in nineteen eighty. It wasn't my favorite concert but it was a good time
My best fried in High School got into Molly Hatchet in large part because of the Frank Frazetta cover art.
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
saw them live at Vets Auditorium..Des Moines..76 or 77..was one full packed place
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!
