RIP Danny Joe Brown, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Hughie Thomason, Ronnie VanZant, Steve Gaines , Cassie Gaines, Allen Collins, Toy Caldwell, Tommy Caldwell, Billy Jones,and The rest of you that kept our vision of music alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Danny Joe Brown - lead vocals Dave Hlubek, Duane Roland, and Steve Holland - guitar Banner Thomas - bass Bruce Crump - drums There will never be a Molly Hatchet like that ever again... :(
I am also one of the "Class Of 78" boys and we burnt up the arenas too back in the day. We seen em all whether we liked em or not, lol. Nugent, Bad Company, Boston, Kansas, Seger, Loverboy, Golden Earring, Thin Lizzy, Mellencamp, Aerosmith, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Foreigner, Heart,ARS,Alvin Lee &10 Years Later, Mothers Finest, Van Halen, Journey, Springsteen, Hank Jr., Alabama, Styx, 38 Special, ZZ Top, David Gates & Bread, Skynyrd, Doobie Bros,Molly Hatchet. We stoned up & rocked out
Everyone I've ever known that likes or loves Molly Hatchet gets a 10 mile smile every time we hear that whistle. Crazy how such a little thing is SO iconic.
Just heard about the last member of this line up dieing , very sad . Molly Hatchet one of the best 2 things that ever came out of Jacksonville Florida. For all the true southern rockers. R.I.P we will miss you and thanks for the beautiful music in the world!!!! Hell yeah!!!!!!!!
Banner Thomas, that amazing bass Player. I grew up watching his band Big Engine ever since i was 5. I'm only 19 and young but have a heart for the great old style southern Rock. I knew Banner Thomas very close. Too bad he left Big Engine and retired.
Yeah, those bass lines are freaking incredible!!!!!!!!!! Incredibly hard, too, but I had some friends that we would jam with, and I learned that sumbich note for tote to play it with them when I was first starting out. (At 50yo!!! lol) I learned a LOT learning that song!
***** that'd what this person is saying. They were in jr.high in 1978. You could wear whatever you wanted to school in those days and people did. You only hear about that type of shit happening now.....people being sent home for what they wear.
There was nothin' better than puttin' the top down on my '68 Camaro, slammin' that Molly Hatchet tape in the 8-track, and putting that 327 to the FLOOR......man....
Doc MacLaren's Tinkering - 1969 Camaro super sport 396, 375 HP turbo 400 w/a rally sport package/flip head lamp covers, power windows, 8 track with flirtin and disaster.
Damn! I miss Molly Hatchet! Danny Joe Brown! Hands down one of the most unique sounding voices of all time...Flirting with disaster is in my top 5 songs of all time...just saying...
I was born in '67 and by the time I was 10 I had discovered Ted Nugent and bought Cat Scratch Fever on a 45 for .99 cents with my lawn mowing money in the summer of '77 but then Molly Hatchet broke on the scene and the first 33 LP I bought was "Flirtin With Disaster". It blew me away and made me get my first guitar. Always loved Zeppelin too and Skynyrd but Molly Hatchet is the real shit.
R.I.P. Danny Joe. Thru video your talent will live on forever! Got to meet him once after a show in the 80s. Very cool dude, easy-going, no rock star attitude.
Saw them open for Foreigner in '79 in Portland OR, what an awsome concert that was. They just rocked the house, one of the all-time best opening acts I ever saw.
William Allison Yea i'am a ga.man and i love them southern rock bands that's what i grew up to plus ten yesrs after ,the who ,All the 7o,s 80,s but i'am a true stones fan there the greatest band ever ,,Mick said in late 68 they were going to be the greatest rock band ever and he has proved it . The larggggest concert in the world 1.5 million people just amazing : P
Hard working, hard living band. Only one of them is still alive today - Steve Holland. Almost all died before age 60. Saw them in concert twice, both were excellent. Just a great , hard rocking band.
I remember this song. It is one of my favorites. Danny Joe Brown, Dave Hlubek, Duane Roland, Steve Holland, Bruce Crump and Banner Thomas. I lived off of Highway 160 and went to High School in Charlestown, Indiana.
I was lucky to see them at the Bar Association in Springfield Ma in 1987. A new noise ordinance was just put in for out door concerts. Stop playing at 11pm. It rained earlier that night and took time to dry things out. At 11 Danny Joe acknowledged this and then told the City FUCK YOU! And then they went right into Flirting with Disaster. Cops on stage pulling plugs while the band rocked on. Simply the Best!
I seen them live in west germany in 1983 when i was a soldier. I was missing home and Molly Hatchett that night gave me a small taste of being back on the block with my buddies. . Friggin outstanding concert
3 smoking guitars and a soul thumpin bass! I call it go fast rock! 54 yrs old n I'll get a speed sheet quick if this jam comes on! It's mandatory Southern law practically to speed while jamming to this ! Flirting with disaster by Molly hatchet, Mississippi queen by mountain, and train train by blackfoot! Southern Rock Gold! Ohh and they call me the breeze by skynnard !
Saw those guys in the early 80's at a small venue I won tickets to. Kickass show and sadly the way concerts were in the late 60's, 70's and 80's are gone forever. I'm so glad I saw a lot of great bands when you had to wait overnight at a record store to buy tickets.
+rhonda thompson I agree Rhonda. However, I recently became turned on to a band that has been around for at least a decade that might change your mind. At least a little. Check out Blackberry Smoke! Then spread the word...Peace!
Long Beach Arena??? If so this was the Outlaws Molly Hatchet concert, I think 38 special opened. My older brother introduced me to this music growing up and concerts in general. Right now I reliving that concert as they play this song. Geart days great times and most of all experiencing it with your brother. Thanks brother for making me the music lover I am today
hey I saw Molly Hatchet in the hot sweaty summer of '79 at ISU { Illinois State University ) with none other than Charlie Daniels Band - what a time, what a concert, a moment in time, I pulled up in my jeep, no shirt, straw hat and levis, with my friends, chicks everywhere - pot everywhere, what a time. needless to say those young days will never happen again but man what time it was.
I saw this concert, along with a limo picking me up taking me to dinner, Molly concert, and then.. party with the band. One of the best times of my life. Saw the drummer Dave a couple years ago in Gatlinburg working up there. Molly Hatchet with Danny Jo will always be the shizzzz
Glad to hear you won't back down! The '70's were the best rock and roll and music in general. It's amazing that we can relive these times like we are still there!
This is Real music, played by Real Men who paid their dues down a thousand highways. Not like all this sad instant fame crap we have today. Only death itself stopped the members of Molly Hatchet, and yet their music lives on, to bring joy to millions of fans worldwide. Rest in Peace Danny Joe, Duane and Bruce, job well done gentlemen.
The lead singer Danny Joe Brown had a stroke while driving from his brothers house in 1995, after that he suffered from serious complications and also had diabetes. He was hospitalized for a month and died on March 10th 2005 with in one hour of being released from the hospital, he passed away at his home. Duane Roland lead guitarist and founding member died on June 19th 2006 at his home, his cause of death was listed as natural causes. Bruce Crump the original drummer died on March 16th 2015, he had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 2002. There were many contributing factors in each of these awesome men's death, not the least of which is that of their self chosen role of being a human commodity, whom it would appear by a basic study of the quote rock star job description, is as if one is almost bought and sold by contractual obligation there by allowing themselves to be taken on tour around the world over and over again at a pace and frequency that in and of itself would fell most mortal men and expected to be perfect at every show and to continue to help sell millions of records and promote those records with press tours, radio station tours, various appointments and other associated professional obligations, such as song writing and recording and rehearsal combined with, the stress of trying to stay relevant among the vast herd of other bands and groups and solo artists, in other words the competion, while swirling in the hurricane blender of the flavor of the month club, as the publics musical tastes and spending patterns change, seemingly sometimes overnight, all the while battling to retain their core fan base, while trying to hold onto some sense of sanity, honor, self worth, dignity, core value and purpose, while the diminishing percentages of actual profit in the music business demanded that they acquire new fans, who in turn hopefully will buy more tickets, records and merchandise which increased the pressure to tour and record more. If we now add in bad diets, lack of exercise, years with very little sleep, drugs, alcohol, smoking, preexisting or new medical conditions, marital and family pressures and financial, legal and other personal problems, while being lied to, cheated, stolen from, and co opted in manners most unseemly, in a highly organized fashion by parties who were nothing more than leaches, thieves and con men on all sides. Basically life in the fast lane killed them, they chose to burn the candle at both ends, fulfilling their dreams of stardom, while riding on the razors edge all the way to Glory, tuff work indeed, but it comes with nice fringe benefits like the company of beautiful women, money and fame. if you can get it and keep it, till it grinds you all the way down to the bone and kills you. Peace

+Comfortzonestudio.com Sounds like a great life man! Hey I love Blackfoot what were they like to work with? I seen them in Dublin Ireland in 1982 and it was the best show I have ever seen to this day!
I saw Molly Hatchet in '94 in a Windsor,Ont.,bar called California's and one of the boys gave me a guitar pick.Too bad almost all of them are now gone.
My friend, Roger, and I seen the 'Hatch. Molly opened for Kiss on the creatures of the night tour. After makeup was over, we went to the buses. The MH guys were fantastic. shook our hands and talked to us for 5 minutes or so. We talked about radio tunes. Being teens and such. The Molly Hatchet!!!!!!! Good Music Good People.......
I always liked this southern rock. In 78/79 I was just starting high school. Then I found metal -hair bands. 😂 my daughter now 23 in 2024 knows we had it good 🤘🏼 I do like her bands too ! Metal edge of course !
Too many great southern rock artists lost in their prime, RIP - (Molly Hatchet) Danny Jo Brown, Duane Roland, (Lynyrd Skynyrd) Ronny Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gains, Allen Collins, Billy Powell, Leon Wilkeson, (Marshall Tucker) Tommy and Toy Caldwell, (Allman Brothers) Duane Allman, Allen Woody, Berry Oakley, (Outlaws) Hughie Thomasson. I'm sure I am missing more, thank you for making beautiful music that will last forever.
Wow, did not know that. Steve and I had a conversation on the shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee when I was in high school. We ate lunch together and talked for a long time. He stood out at as one of greatest rock n roll stars that I ever met. And i met most of them.
I had the honor of meeting Steve at his residence last year. We got to talking about guitars, life on the road, booze, and he told a story about a time when they all had a little too much and completely destroyed a hotel room. When I asked why he simply replied, "It felt like the right thing to do". Gotta love it!
Flyin' down Wisconsin back roads with the speedo buried at 120 in a Plymouth Satellite Sebring 340 & Carter Thermo-quad..........we are IMMORTAL!! Keep the Faith, Brothers and Sisters!!
Fellas, it doesn't get any better than this in terms of classic rock... I remember the first time I heard the dueling guitar licks and was floored....!....Incredible rhythm section...Thanks for the post...!
I was probably the only black guy watching this show at 12 am when I was young I love music no matter what kind..
Hellyeah brother! I'm black and 18, this, Skynrd, Outlaw, 38 Special, Blackfoot, and various speed metal is what fills my playlist!
THE WRATHCHILD .....Well, I’m white....and you two guys are freaking me out. Lol. But, anyways.....I guess black guys knows good rock when they hear it, too... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! 😎
No you were a human like all of us enjoying music period
This damned society always tries that color or creed shit. But thank you for showing them were humans
Well...im hella white and love old 70s funk
Danny Joe Brown is Native American.
There is no music like that in 2024! Miss those guitars, the hair, tight jeans. Miss the 70s!!!
this is
what i call music
who agrees
with me!!
What!??? I would've added 1,000,000,000 more if I woulda' seen thus before today in 2024!!!
100% this is real music
not me. Every southern rock band tried to emulate Lynyrd Skynyrd back them. All copy cats. And all never stood the test of time.
@@johnzubil2875Charlie Daniel’s was great and had his own thing

Agreed!
RIP Danny Joe
Danny Joe Brown took the reigns from Ronnie Van Zant and took Southern Rock to the Next Level 🌹

My 1st live band at 9 yrs old.. Never been the same, thank you guys. And my Uncle Rick that snuck me in! R.I.P. Danny J.B.
R.I.P. Danny Joe. Thru video your talent will live on forever! Got to meet him once after a show in the 80s. Very cool dude, easy-going, no rock star attitude.
I saw them live in Worcester, Ma on this day in 1981 at E.M. Loews Theatre. They blew the roof off the place !!!!
Saw them open for Foreigner in '79 in Portland OR, what an awsome concert that was. They just rocked the house, one of the all-time best opening acts I ever saw.

Are the 70’s over
Tom Long ... truth!
Danny Joe Brown great voice and frontman
Hard working, hard living band. Only one of them is still alive today - Steve Holland. Almost all died before age 60. Saw them in concert twice, both were excellent. Just a great , hard rocking band.
Steve must have passedcaway just days after your comment. All are gone now,, rest in peace men, you are all missed.
I remember this song. It is one of my favorites. Danny Joe Brown, Dave Hlubek, Duane Roland, Steve Holland, Bruce Crump and Banner Thomas. I lived off of Highway 160 and went to High School in Charlestown, Indiana.
All the greatest southern rock bands comes from Jacksonville & Orange Park Florida!!!
My home town baby!!!!
aren't you forgetting Tampa, Tarpon Springs & Sarasota?
can Molly Hatchet's material be sung in a higher range?
Who came from Tarpon Springs?
Blanding Blvd. keg of nails bar, gentlemans nite club,calico jacks
Who came from Orange Park ?
I was lucky to see them at the Bar Association in Springfield Ma in 1987. A new noise ordinance was just put in for out door concerts. Stop playing at 11pm.

There were many contributing factors in each of these awesome men's death, not the least of which is that of their self chosen role of being a human commodity, whom it would appear by a basic study of the quote rock star job description, is as if one is almost bought and sold by contractual obligation there by allowing themselves to be taken on tour around the world over and over again at a pace and frequency that in and of itself would fell most mortal men and expected to be perfect at every show and to continue to help sell millions of records and promote those records with press tours, radio station tours, various appointments and other associated professional obligations, such as song writing and recording and rehearsal combined with, the stress of trying to stay relevant among the vast herd of other bands and groups and solo artists, in other words the competion, while swirling in the hurricane blender of the flavor of the month club, as the publics musical tastes and spending patterns change, seemingly sometimes overnight, all the while battling to retain their core fan base, while trying to hold onto some sense of sanity, honor, self worth, dignity, core value and purpose, while the diminishing percentages of actual profit in the music business demanded that they acquire new fans, who in turn hopefully will buy more tickets, records and merchandise which increased the pressure to tour and record more. If we now add in bad diets, lack of exercise, years with very little sleep, drugs, alcohol, smoking, preexisting or new medical conditions, marital and family pressures and financial, legal and other personal problems, while being lied to, cheated, stolen from, and co opted in manners most unseemly, in a highly organized fashion by parties who were nothing more than leaches, thieves and con men on all sides. Basically life in the fast lane killed them, they chose to burn the candle at both ends, fulfilling their dreams of stardom, while riding on the razors edge all the way to Glory, tuff work indeed, but it comes with nice fringe benefits like the company of beautiful women, money and fame. if you can get it and keep it, till it grinds you all the way down to the bone and kills you. Peace

The MH guys were fantastic. shook our hands and talked to us for 5 minutes or so. We talked about radio tunes. Being teens and such. The Molly Hatchet!!!!!!! Good Music Good People.......

Wow, did not know that. Steve and I had a conversation on the shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee when I was in high school. We ate lunch together and talked for a long time. He stood out at as one of greatest rock n roll stars that I ever met.

This Chicago boy LOVES Southern Rock!
Dang it
I had the honor of meeting Steve at his residence last year. We got to talking about guitars, life on the road, booze, and he told a story about a time when they all had a little too much and completely destroyed a hotel room. When I asked why he simply replied, "It felt like the right thing to do". Gotta love it!
