I'm 59 years young and playet this song on drums when I wore a younger man's clothes!!! Still hard drinking, partying, whoring! That makes life worth living ❤😂🎉😅😊❤😂🎉
I'll be62 in a couple months,I feel like this song was born when I was,well,probly 50 yrs of listening anyways. I always noticed how Danny Joe always took a liking to Duane,he could sure sling a V, and how bout Hlubeck,RIP boys, I'm still rockin to ya.🤘🎸
All the fun was used up by the mid 90s apparently. While I wish I could have had some of it, I'm just glad people recorded concerts and stuff like this. It lets me imagine what life used to be like, which is awesome.
I can't imagine sitting in a seat back in the day and rocking out to these guys. Thank God I grew up in the coolest eras 70s & 80s when we could pack the floors and party with friends, & strangers to great bands like this one here.
These guys were among a group of bands that tore up arenas around the world. Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws, Blackfoot, Allman Brothers, Lynryd Skynrd and the list goes on.
38 Special, ARS, Henry Paul Band, Marshal Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Kentucky Headhunters, Little Feat, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Georgia Satellites, Grinderswitch
Doesn’t get any better….bring me back to those days….best time of my life…..didn’t know it at the time….my friends and I always say we are sooo happy that we grew up in those days….nothing compares…..Molly Hatchett rocked!!! Nothing like them now and never will be. I saw them in concert in the 70s….Wow! What a show! In the fourth row! Joints being passed back and forth lol! People were happy and free ! Not like today
What this generation considers rock we called pussy music. Half of it doesn't even have real instruments and most of the vocalists can't sing. They get autotuned. As long as you're attractive they can make you a star. I went to a concert back when cage the elephant was getting big. I liked one song and when they played it they sounded nothing like the album. They were horrible. Everyone walked away and went and waited on the next band at an empty stage. That was about the time genres started changing.
@chris michaels. I agree with you chris but you know i sae skynrd this summer and who is left rossington and metlocke . They were great. It sucks that the originals are not there but how would we feel without domeone? I think there hsve been so msny changes thru the years that does it really matter. This has been s pretty longtime lineup for molly right? O was gonns see them ay penns peak but couldnt in pennsylvania.better they are around then gone
@@ssabp8313 Actually, Rickey Medlocke is NOT an original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd! He founded the band Blackfoot...and then joined Skynyrd later on, after Blackfoot wasn't touring any longer. With that being said, I LOVE Rickey Medlocke!!!👍
@@dibber43 Chris I know that hes not a founding member of lynrd But he was basically there at the beginning and given that there's nobody else left but Gary rossington could we really afford to be this picky. From what I read he was actually intended on being in the original band so what the reserve founding member a CO founding member does it really matter if hes number one or number 2 obviously hes not does it make a difference of these number 3 number 4 number 5 he was there with the beginning and I play drums briefly I think I played on the 1st album
@@dibber43 And yes I'm very well aware in fact that hes the founding member of Blackfoot as well And many of the guys and Leonard Skinner did not want him to leave but he decided to go out on his own with Blackfoot. My point by saying hes an original member is there's nobody else left he was there from the beginning practically and a lot of people and I've even felt this way in the past that lynrd is nothing more than a cover band like a lot of other bands. And that a concert that I was at Van Sant set is long as rossington is around it's still Leonard Skinner But that doesn't give any credit to Ricky metlocke Regard less of his minor role in the past the fact is the man has been with the band for how many years now since the mid nineties and he was there at the beginning it just so happened to be that he left
At 59 and looking back on all the concerts I have seen I must say the straight forward singing and playing without all the fluff was the strong suit of this band, and as has been said they sounded just like their albums live, DJB one of a kind lead singer, and those guitars were amazing, and their drummer could bang with the best. MH FOREVER
What I love about seeing these old videos is that there isn't a million freaking cellphones up in the air taking crappy videos of the performance that no one will ever watch.
Best live concert I ever seen was 38 special, molly hatchet was underrated also. I could go on! Triumph, April wine,rush, heart, blue oyster cult, etc...
@@jeffbunting6957 Ssshhh! LOL Nobody needs to know we're that old. Hahaha!!! My older sis and I actually got to see them in concert, it was magnificent!!!
If I close my eyes, I feel like I'm walking into the school lunchroom at Coldwater High School, and Molly Hatchet is blaring from the jukebox over in the corner. It's 1980, and all seems right with the world. Where do I sign up to go back?
So true Ryland !!! Molly Hatchet rocks !!! Check out ," Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
Best thing about this band is the fact that they all look like they'd stop a set to kick your ass in a bar fight, then write a song about doing it. I've always loved these guys. Best southern rock act ever.
My mechanic in Atlanta was a drummer for them in the 90's. Great mechanic and incredible drummer. Always fun seeing him play live with a great group of musicians!
They are my all time favorite. Lived across the lake from Billy Jones of the outlaws and was taken hostage by at gunpoint by Billy when I was about 12 or 13. Outlaws and Lynyrd Skynyrd were all friend's of Molly Hatchet. I love all three, it reminds me of home in Lutz Florida in the 70s and 80s.
Saw this band in Portland OR. SWEET JESUS!! These guys were all about good times, fun, and party!! All was needed was a front row seat, and a couple of sixers! Best time at a concert.
"Blue Collar Bands" is what I read in another comment, it describes Molly Hatchet and the other Southern Rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd perfectly. Danny is smiling because he knows that he's got the best job in the world, maybe EVER. Better even than George Carlin's bit about the perfect girl(a nymphomaniac coke dealer who owns a Porsche dealership). Those were the days - a band like this could never happen now, in these degenerate times. Good thing that we have recordings, and great people with video of great memories, and good times - who share them by posting them on TH-cam for us to see. Thanks for posting this.
Back when this hit the radio, all we had was radio, record players, cassette tapes... I remember a tv station that played rock songs with colored gel bubbles or whatever the hell it was... this was before mtv. Back then, music was everything. Its why 40 years later when we hear a classic song it all comes back to us. I cant remember what i did last week but I can remember all these song lyrics when I hear the song. I've got dreams, I'm never gonna see again Dreams get the best of me yet!
Loved reading your comment. DJB was a friend and a true Southern Gentleman. He died a firm believer in Jesus. It might not mean a thing to others, but for us it meant a lot!
He looks Content, Happy and right in his place, feeling good. But he's doing an awful lot of sweating on stage. maybe it was the heat. Or, maybe it was part of the chronic illness he suffered from.
I've been to over 300 concerts in my lifetime; mostly hard rock. Molly Hatchet, Kansas City 1981, was THE loudest live performance I have ever experienced.
Yes Molly Hatchet was the loudest band I've ever heard, you could feel the vibrations from the Marshalls up in the stands . I also heard at one time touring they were on the road for like 350 days of the Year something crazy like that.
I've seen these guys 4 times in concert. Awesome show every single time. Even some of their songs that you might not like as much as you do others .................................after you here Molly Hatchet play it live it will be one of your favorites.
Brings back such great memories of cruising my small hometown with my boyfriend. Molly Hatchet is one of the bands that make up the soundtrack of my teen years.
Man that takes me back down memory lane. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but the band can never be the same without Danny Joe Brown and Dave Hlubek, may they both be jamming before angels in Heaven. They are my all time favorite band and were/are so greatly underrated. Rest in peace, brothers.
Amen!! I miss them both so much Duane Roland as well!!! I have always looked up to these guys and their solos and they are part of my teenage years. Not playing them - Dreaming about them
PastorDowell Exactly. Today these fundamentals are lost. Do like Hamburg, play other artists note for note exactly, 6 days a week if need be, just as it’s written, don’t miss a note. Do this long enough & then & only then will you develop a style
I live in the Detroit Michigan area, and I was on my way home from the Kellogg Eye Institute in Ann Arbor, and this song came on, and I was like, "Oh man. I haven't heard this song in a long time. " So as soon as I got home. I put this video on and plugged it to my amplifier and started jamming.. I'm 56 years old, and they haven't made good music since the late 90's. Maybe the early 2000's a few spots here and there. But damn did they make it in the 70's and 80's like nobody's business.
Man a year ago this was helping me through morphine and heroin withdrawals. 1 year!! Edit: Still not gambling with my time and I chose my destiny. Still sober and always will be. Thanks for all of the likes and comments!
Danny Joe Brown. He was one of my best friends in high school. Danny was a good guy. Got pics but can't post them here. So happy he found success. RIP Danny.
@SouthVA 757 awesome, I'm just up the Road in York co. Saw them in 83 I believe it was at the Coliseum, can't remember the year exact but maybe you were there and or remember the year, was a great time.
I saw these guys in 1980 "The Flirting With Disaster Tour" they headlined MOLLY HATCHET with Michael Schenker Group / Johnny Van Zant DATE : November 24, 1980 At The WAR MEMORIAL COLISEUM In Fort Wayne, Indiana. Awesome concert!!
Southern rock bands are cursed, so many members died young, must be one heck of a band in heaven. Charlie Daniels is it's newest member. God Bless them all.
Grew up as a kid playing Molly Hatchet songs in Indiana... 4 years ago, my last 2 days in rehab after suffering from a near fatal brain bleed and pulmonary embolism, the tech who drew my blood that am said “the drummer from Molly Hatchet had a stroke and is in a room down the hall.” Much to my surprise, it was none other than Dave Hlubek laying in the bed... there was an unknown band member in his room watching over him as he rested. God healed me so well by then, I was able to walk fairly well, so he may have thought I was a visitor for another patient. I let him know I was in rehab too for a massive stroke. My son brought my acoustic guitar for me to try to play. Dave’s bandmember also had a strat leaning on the chair next to him. I told him I had idolized Molly Hatchet as a youngster and went back to my room. Saw Dave the day I left but he couldn’t talk yet...
Mark, thanks for sharing that memory, I used to go to the waffle house in Cartersville Georgia if would keep me up, and one night Bob Burns from Skynyrd was waiting on a table,I said that he could come over and eat with me, I asked him if he was in Skynyrd and one of the drummers besides Artimus Pyle and he said he was, he told me that he just lived a couple of miles from there and he would have jam sessions on Friday and Saturday nights and I wanted to join in to just come on over, I asked him if he had some drum kits setup for "lefties" and he said he did, man o man did I have some fun, Artimus Pyle lived 20 miles away from Bob and he would come out and jam and that Man was 6'6" and arms that looked like they were as long as I was in height LOL
I met Danny Jo about a month or so before he passed away. They were playing a small venue outside my town. I was talking to this chick I went to school with and she says, "Hey Danny Jo". I turned around and walking up to us is a sloshed drunk Danny Jo Brown. I said, "Hey Danny Jo, good to see you" and offered a handshake, but he says "Naw, come mere", and pulls me into a great big bear hug. He seemed like he was 7 foot tall. I asked him if he would be alright to perform because he just seemed wasted, but he laughed it off and said he was ready to roll. He wasn't lying. When he got on that stage, he was just like in this video, solid. The entire band was solid. And even though it was a small show with only about a few thousand people, they gave it their all. It really was a great show. I also met Riff West in a gift shop 1983 on the No Guts No Glory tour. Just a really sweet guy, honestly. He was thrilled to talk with a 17 year old kid.
Hell yeah,he probably has a Lil Brother! Just people as we are.That acting shitt them good Ole Boys.They don't have time for it there People the Same as we are.HomeBoy's
@@DavidCrull I have to correct myself. Danny Jo lived many years after I met him. I got some Mandela effect going on here or something. I met Danny Jo in 1995.
I went to see The Outlaws and Molly Hatchet opened for them. Should have been the other way around. They were amazing!! Something about Southern rock guitar that kills.
What a great sound! Les Paul Gold Top with P90s - great lower midrange push, Flying V with humbuckers upper midrange bite, amazing bass and drums, and Danny Joe Brown on vocals. Just amazing!
This vid is awesome!!! Always loved this tune. Me and a friend worked it up in '81. Reunion of my old band happened to be around the time Danny Joe Brown passed away. We talked about it and i quietly played the pre chorus descending triads. They went Whats That? Flirtin'! Worked it up and Gigged with it (i went first). Among the happiest times of my life. RIP, DJB and Dave Hlubek.
SOUTHERN ROCK!!! This music had POWER! I had the opportunity to see the Outlaws open for Lynyrd Skynyrd, saw Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet(with Danny Joe Brown), Navasota, Black Oak Arkansas, and Point Blank. These bands represented the Pride of the South! You can tear down ALL THE STATUES YOU CAN BUT YOU CAN'T TEAR DOWN SOUTHERN PRIDE AND SOUTHERN ROCK!🤠🎸🤘
@@vernoncatlett3731 As a proudly southern white man, I must say your analogy is ridiculous. Study a little history, find out when most of those statues were erected, and why. I hate seeing any history eradicated, but comparing those to MLK doesn't hold water.
GREAT BAND. Im 74 and remember them well
I'm 76 and worked for a band that opened for Molly Hatchet, twice. The opening act was, MAD JACK, and the gig was at Uncle Sam's in Syracuse, NY...
I'm 29, heard about em when I was about 15, was a fan ever since :)
I'm 59 years young and playet this song on drums when I wore a younger man's clothes!!! Still hard drinking, partying, whoring! That makes life worth living ❤😂🎉😅😊❤😂🎉
Not 74, only 50 something or other but still remember these guys
I'll be62 in a couple months,I feel like this song was born when I was,well,probly 50 yrs of listening anyways. I always noticed how Danny Joe always took a liking to Duane,he could sure sling a V, and how bout Hlubeck,RIP boys, I'm still rockin to ya.🤘🎸
Man does this take you back to better times.
Much better times. Men were men and women were women and the rock was killer!
Agreed. I don't know why, but one of the first things I think when I hear them is "men were men and women were women"@@robert.m4676
Yes the polar opposite of today's world. So glad I was young when I was. Almost 56 WHERE DOES THE TIME GO 😮😮
Nothing better than good old southern rock and roll
Molly Hatchet doesn’t get enough LOVE. Awesome musicians!
it's just their time was in the 70's. They were awesome then
A great band 🎉🎉
Flirtin with disaster should be enough to get Molly hatchet into the rock and roll hall of fame! Leave no foot stomping Brothers behind! 😊🎉❤😂😅😊
1985, drag racing on the dam in mustangs, satellites,Cuda and camaros....best times of my life
Me too brother, had a 69 firebird ram air 3 400 4speed,roll cage,no backseat,full of alpine triaxles,blasting this.
Did the same thing in 1973
Same, but mine was a 1973 Ford F-150 with a 360 under the hood. We were teenagers at the best time.
@usafret4709 that is a fact

Its sad that bands like this don't exist anymore. DJB has a voice and a smile that could never be duplicated !
I for one am extremely thankful that this is the case😊
Time to nominate Molly hatchet to the rock and roll hall of fame!❤❤😂😅😊🎉
RIP guyi❤❤❤!❤❤😢😢😂😅😊
I can't imagine sitting in a seat back in the day and rocking out to these guys. Thank God I grew up in the coolest eras 70s & 80s when we could pack the floors and party with friends, & strangers to great bands like this one here.
I saw them open for REO in my college gym. 78. Weeknight. Partied with them on the floor watching REO.
So true, along with many others that never got a chance to, but without doubt they’d be seen as geniuses today.
This band was better than reo hands down speed wagon should have opened for this great band
These guys were among a group of bands that tore up arenas around the world. Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws, Blackfoot, Allman Brothers, Lynryd Skynrd and the list goes on.
Yes, indeed they did..and we will unfortunately never see that level of talent and songwriting again.
@@ronnieskynyrdfan458 got that right. Am grateful I was around for it.
To bad Danny died from diabetes. He was in great shape in this video, he loved weight training

One, of many great blue collar,southern rock bands from Florida.They also had some of the coolest album covers ever.
As a kid I thought they were a real heavy metal band when I saw their albums in the record store. LOL
Ed Nowalk I’ve always thought their album covers were phenomenal (likewise with their music!)
Yep, all the cool paintings on the old album covers were done by legendary fantasy artist, Frank Frazetta.
Most by Frank Frazetta, but one of the best was by Boris Valejo.
Which one was Boris? I thought they were all Frank's work?
The short whistles that usher in the 2nd half of the guitar solos, such classic cool
These guys deserve to be in the rock n roll hall of fame if they aren't already. Molly hatchet is it.
Damn Straight
My mechanic in Atlanta was a drummer for them in the 90's. Great mechanic and incredible drummer. Always fun seeing him play live with a great group of musicians!
They should be in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame! Their style reminds me of Lynyrd Skynyrd
Hell yeah right up there with ABBA and public enema

I have been to many concerts and saw a good bands but no band comes close to putting on a live show like Molly Hatchet. They are the best.
No autotune needed. Greatest Southern Rock voice of his generation. I would have loved to have seen him and Toy Caldwell work together. :)

Loved reading your comment. DJB was a friend and a true Southern Gentleman. He died a firm believer in Jesus. It might not mean a thing to others, but for us it meant a lot!
Danny Joe looks so healthy and happy. RIP
I was thinking the exact same thing Andy.
Danny rocked it that night !
Andy Czubai ROCK AND ROLL MY FRIEND!!!
He looks Content, Happy and right in his place, feeling good. But he's doing an awful lot of sweating on stage. maybe it was the heat. Or, maybe it was part of the chronic illness he suffered from.
He looked in great shape !
It's melancholic seeing him here, looking like a beast, smiling, etc., but knowing how his health would go downward in a few years.
I've been to over 300 concerts in my lifetime; mostly hard rock. Molly Hatchet, Kansas City 1981, was THE loudest live performance I have ever experienced.
Yes Molly Hatchet was the loudest band I've ever heard, you could feel the vibrations from the Marshalls up in the stands . I also heard at one time touring they were on the road for like 350 days of the Year something crazy like that.
I've seen these guys 4 times in concert. Awesome show every single time. Even some of their songs that you might not like as much as
you do others .................................after you here Molly Hatchet play it live it will be one of your favorites.
Amazing band. That voice. And those three guitars really knew what to play
Brings back such great memories of cruising my small hometown with my boyfriend. Molly Hatchet is one of the bands that make up the soundtrack of my teen years.
Gotta love bands from Jacksonville,Fla.
When the band, especially the singer is dripping with sweat like that you know they gave you all they had to give you an awesome amazing show!!
Ever have to give a show?? Thanks for buying the tickets & being there. YOU make it happen!! Still rocking! Love
That was the same thing I thought! Workin their asses off!!!
One of my favorite guitar solo's....the volume never could go high enough !!
They are all gone now,they can jam together again in heaven,RIP Molly Hatchet,God Bless.
All ???? egads.
No their not all gone. John Galvin is the best keyboard player,and lives in MI 🎹💜🙏
Man that takes me back down memory lane. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but the band can never be the same without Danny Joe Brown and Dave Hlubek, may they both be jamming before angels in Heaven. They are my all time favorite band and were/are so greatly underrated. Rest in peace, brothers.
Amen!! I miss them both so much
Duane Roland as well!!!
I have always looked up to these guys and their solos and they are part of my teenage years.
Not playing them -
Dreaming about them
There are bands with more hits and longer tenure, but Flirting With Disaster is by far the greatest hard rock song of all time.
Man I miss those days. Seems like a golden age now.
R.I.P. Danny. A voice like no other.
"Got our sights set straight ahead but i ain't sure what we're after."
Except Phil McCormack 😝
What did Danny Joe die from?
He had bad diabetes and died from kidney failure.
When did he pass away?
I got to see these guys perform live when I was still in High School. They were remarkable and had such a great sound.
Yep!
When I see this I know I´m not born in the wrong generation. I´m born to keep this alive in this generation🤘🏻
One of the great performances in rock history.
These guys fucking rocked
That is what I am talk'in about!
PastorDowell Exactly. Today these fundamentals are lost. Do like Hamburg, play other artists note for note exactly, 6 days a week if need be, just as it’s written, don’t miss a note. Do this long enough & then & only then will you develop a style

Southern Rock at its finest. The guitar players in Molly Hatchet are so influential
I live in the Detroit Michigan area, and I was on my way home from the Kellogg Eye Institute in Ann Arbor, and this song came on, and I was like, "Oh man. I haven't heard this song in a long time. " So as soon as I got home. I put this video on and plugged it to my amplifier and started jamming.. I'm 56 years old, and they haven't made good music since the late 90's. Maybe the early 2000's a few spots here and there. But damn did they make it in the 70's and 80's like nobody's business.
a friend of mine an I wore out a 8 track tape playing this song,memories of the 80 s.
They started in the 70"s. That's how old I am.
Yea...I think I had it on 8 track also...
Hard not to think of old American muscle cars listening to this song....
I see Dean Winchester playing this on the road in Supernatural
A lot of burning tires were melted on asphault while they were on the 8 track!
'70 Boss 302
1980 for me it was!
I have a hard time not thinking of NASCAR ‘98 listening to it
@@ThePitt 72 Chevelle SS454 👍
I've seen hatchet 6x live in the early 80s each time with Danny, to this day still one of my favorite bands. R.I.P. Danny.
Saw them live at The Palomino Club in Wilmington NC back in 1995!! Awesome show!
What a voice and delivery, awesome.
Man a year ago this was helping me through morphine and heroin withdrawals. 1 year!!
Edit: Still not gambling with my time and I chose my destiny. Still sober and always will be. Thanks for all of the likes and comments!
Hope it's going on two years.
"Hang tough," Tanner. You got this!

@@patmoore551 Pat, Karma just knocked. Have fun.
Congrats man! I Hope your still clean. Cheers
Turned the volume as high as it would go & GET HAPPY AS ALL HELL!! EVERYtime!! Love you guys then & now 2024!!
I seen molly hatchet in 1979 in Springfield Illinois one of the best bands ever
He looks so damn happy singing. RIP brother
Danny Joe Brown. He was one of my best friends in high school. Danny was a good guy. Got pics but can't post them here. So happy he found success. RIP Danny.
I think you can put a link up to your web page or Instagram type thing. I'm very low tech but those pics would be pretty cool to see.🤘
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
@SouthVA 757 awesome, I'm just up the Road in York co. Saw them in 83 I believe it was at the Coliseum, can't remember the year exact but maybe you were there and or remember the year, was a great time.
I don't believe you infact no one does...
@@dennism103 you're an idiot. You don't have to believe him. Celebrities are people too and had to start their lives somewhere.
I saw these guys in 1980 "The Flirting With Disaster Tour" they headlined
MOLLY HATCHET with
Michael Schenker Group / Johnny Van Zant
DATE : November 24, 1980
At The WAR MEMORIAL COLISEUM In Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Awesome concert!!
Eagles he'll they worked there ass off.Seenem.They had 4 Pianos out there and the originals kicked ass!
My favorite southern rock band , and one of my favorite singers . Kick ass👍🇺🇸
My right ear sort of enjoyed this.
Fancy seeing you here.
TAOFLEDERMAUS Glad to see you like hatchet!
Haha...mine too...I thought my earbuds broke again...
True I thought I broke another set of headphones, I was like wtf! 🖓🔇😨🕪🖒
Being for Florida, I grew up on southern rock &roll , loved it all
Southern rock bands are cursed, so many members died young, must be one heck of a band in heaven. Charlie Daniels is it's newest member. God Bless them all.
Charlie was about 83..that ain't cursed
Cursed to fly the teeth of devil's winds but what sights they see!
Charlie was a bucket list. And he didn’t disappoint! Saw him I 2016! What a great entertainer!
RIP Charlie. Won’t know another with a caring heart like you.
Dickie Betts is still going strong, we still got him!! Southern Rock is King!!
i saw Molly Hatchet twice at "River Jam" Radford Va. must have been 88-90 ish both kick ass shows. City jail was full that night!
This is real music.
Have one of the most epic album covers in rock history drawn by Frank Frazetta
And my buddys dad painted it on the hood of his 74 mustang!! BADASS
one of my favorite guitar solos of all time.
Duane Lubic
@@jamesdepaul5665 Any particular reason you spelled his name wrong?
I was listening to them when i was a teenager. Damn brings back memories.
They sound so much better live! Wow. Don't get me wrong, I can listen to the studio versions all day, but this is an 11/10 performance.
Maaan I remember seeing them on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert back in the day. A three guitar assault. Loved it!!
Grew up as a kid playing Molly Hatchet songs in Indiana... 4 years ago, my last 2 days in rehab after suffering from a near fatal brain bleed and pulmonary embolism, the tech who drew my blood that am said “the drummer from Molly Hatchet had a stroke and is in a room down the hall.” Much to my surprise, it was none other than Dave Hlubek laying in the bed... there was an unknown band member in his room watching over him as he rested. God healed me so well by then, I was able to walk fairly well, so he may have thought I was a visitor for another patient. I let him know I was in rehab too for a massive stroke. My son brought my acoustic guitar for me to try to play. Dave’s bandmember also had a strat leaning on the chair next to him. I told him I had idolized Molly Hatchet as a youngster and went back to my room. Saw Dave the day I left but he couldn’t talk yet...
Mark, thanks for sharing that memory, I used to go to the waffle house in Cartersville Georgia if would keep me up, and one night Bob Burns from Skynyrd was waiting on a table,I said that he could come over and eat with me, I asked him if he was in Skynyrd and one of the drummers besides Artimus Pyle and he said he was, he told me that he just lived a couple of miles from there and he would have jam sessions on Friday and Saturday nights and I wanted to join in to just come on over, I asked him if he had some drum kits setup for "lefties" and he said he did, man o man did I have some fun, Artimus Pyle lived 20 miles away from Bob and he would come out and jam and that Man was 6'6" and arms that looked like they were as long as I was in height LOL
I met Danny Jo about a month or so before he passed away. They were playing a small venue outside my town. I was talking to this chick I went to school with and she says, "Hey Danny Jo". I turned around and walking up to us is a sloshed drunk Danny Jo Brown. I said, "Hey Danny Jo, good to see you" and offered a handshake, but he says "Naw, come mere", and pulls me into a great big bear hug. He seemed like he was 7 foot tall. I asked him if he would be alright to perform because he just seemed wasted, but he laughed it off and said he was ready to roll. He wasn't lying. When he got on that stage, he was just like in this video, solid. The entire band was solid. And even though it was a small show with only about a few thousand people, they gave it their all. It really was a great show.
I also met Riff West in a gift shop 1983 on the No Guts No Glory tour. Just a really sweet guy, honestly. He was thrilled to talk with a 17 year old kid.
Hell yeah,he probably has a Lil Brother! Just people as we are.That acting shitt them good Ole Boys.They don't have time for it there People the Same as we are.HomeBoy's
@@DavidCrull I have to correct myself. Danny Jo lived many years after I met him. I got some Mandela effect going on here or something. I met Danny Jo in 1995.
Truly one of the best rock songs ever.
Smiling the entire song, you can tell he enjoyed what he did, awesome singer and band 👏💚
Gotta love Molly Hatchet! The lead singer...yep ladies!!! TH-cam needs a LOVE button for videos just like this! This band rocks!
This brought back awesome memories, sucks the whole original lineup is gone now, long live Molly Hatchet!
Hell yeah 👍
Really? Everyone? That sucks.
Jammin' song too.
@@jeffhodge7272 yep, even a few replacement members.
I went to see The Outlaws and Molly Hatchet opened for them. Should have been the other way around. They were amazing!! Something about Southern rock guitar that kills.
Do you recall about what year that was ?
@@roberttruitt5244 about '78 or 9
Me too in Philly! And I agree that Molly Hatchet was the show.
My generation had the hottest of the ALPHA MALES!!!!!
Thank you God for my life's sound track!
What a great sound! Les Paul Gold Top with P90s - great lower midrange push, Flying V with humbuckers upper midrange bite, amazing bass and drums, and Danny Joe Brown on vocals. Just amazing!
This is my favorite song by Molly Hachette. Sounds better and better every time I hear it.
My all time favorite band and still are.
This vid is awesome!!! Always loved this tune. Me and a friend worked it up in '81. Reunion of my old band happened to be around the time Danny Joe Brown passed away. We talked about it and i quietly played the pre chorus descending triads. They went Whats That? Flirtin'! Worked it up and Gigged with it (i went first). Among the happiest times of my life.
RIP, DJB and Dave Hlubek.
We also lost Duane Roland in '06 - RIP to them all.
this song is a mood changer. listen to it and life gets better every time. :)
Fukin A,,, top shelf southern rock at its finest, seen em live 2 times, Excellent shows,
SOUTHERN ROCK!!! This music had POWER! I had the opportunity to see the Outlaws open for Lynyrd Skynyrd, saw Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet(with Danny Joe Brown), Navasota, Black Oak Arkansas, and Point Blank. These bands represented the Pride of the South! You can tear down ALL THE STATUES YOU CAN BUT YOU CAN'T TEAR DOWN SOUTHERN PRIDE AND SOUTHERN ROCK!🤠🎸🤘
You're DAMN RIGHT! I WONDER HOW "BLACK
LIVES MATTER" would like it if i pulled down
MARTIN LUTHER KINGS
STATUE DOWN!!!
@@vernoncatlett3731 As a proudly southern white man, I must say your analogy is ridiculous. Study a little history, find out when most of those statues were erected, and why. I hate seeing any history eradicated, but comparing those to MLK doesn't hold water.
@@c.j.rogers2422 that IS your opinion! I lost many
Ancestors in the Civil War, and it is MY SOUTHERN HERITAGE, That is am PROUD of!!!
Exactly.The South has a lot more to be proud of than jefferson davis,gen.lee,rebel flag and symbols of oppression.
That's freaking talent that's Molly hatchet God bless you all ( rip brothers
