Drummer reacts to "Flirtin' With Disaster" by Molly Hatchet

[@L33Reacts]

Ok, i'm sold. What track by molly hatchet should I check out next??

[@jimholt1888]

There are sooo many! You'd like Gator Country, I think. Dreams I'll Never See and Fall of the Peacemakers are both masterfully done. LOVE 70's Southern Rock!

Dreams I’ll never see. Fire

[@dunhill1]

Like Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, and Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet was formed right here in Jacksonville, FL. And like the lead singer, Danny Joe Brown, I also graduated from Terry Parker High School, only several years later. Obviously, he was older than I was, but I had a couple of teachers that remembered Danny. There is even a plaque inside the lobby honoring Molly Hatchet as they made a big donation to the school when they made great success. Hard to believe it's been 4yrs since the last original member passed, guitar great Steve Holland. RIP Steve and the entire band.

I love how the groove switches between a half time shuffle to a 4/4 rock shuffle… fun!

I was 19 in 1979, so this was always playing somewhere.

[@josephonesi9365]

Was in Daytona Beach in for spring break in 1976 which coincided with Bike Week and went to a bar called the Wreck. Molly Hatchet was on stage. Fantastic! A couple of years ago later and I hear them on the radio.

[@rubbersole79]

They're probably blocked because all members of this band are now deceased, and family / estates / probate are likely trying to access whatever revenue they can. I don't know, it's way above my paygrade, but .....R.I.P. Molly Hatchet. I actually shared some herb with a later version of the band when they came to our town in a later (tribute?) version of the band when Phil McCormack handled the vocals. He told me that the original singer, Danny Joe Brown had battled alcoholism along with numerous other ailments, but was an exceptional human being. Bruce Crump was one of the finest drummers of the 70's and 80's imho and that is saying something. His work on this album is a clinic for drummers everywhere. He spent his later years as an instructor / teacher of music. God bless him and Rest in peace boys. You sure made some glorious noise while you were here.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Back in the mid to late 80s, Molly Hatchet was coming to a city about an hour and a half away, I didn't trust my wheels at the time so I asked this guy I worked with if he would drive, I'd buy his ticket and gas, he asked, , who is she?? I told him nevermind!! But I did get to see them a few years later, jammin concert!!

[@cindyclark9619]

God we LOVED this stuff back in the day! I had no idea at the time how much great music we had.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

Although the footage is grainy , the sound is solid of Molly Hatchet at New Jersey's Capitol Theater from 1978 . The video falls under "Historical Footage" because of it's early video days recording . Anyway there is a bunch of great videos out in youtube land from that era . The show I'm refering to is when Molly Hatchet opened for The Outlaws ( video of their part if the bill is out there too ) i'd seen the same show days before or after when it came to The Palladium in NYC . It was a true guitar lovers night of music 🙂

[@fenderchamp8241]

Dreams is the best MH Tune. Has it all. An ALLMAN Bros. Cover.

[@Randsurfer]

Drum mix is so good on this album. Saw them on this breakout tour at Florida State U. Guys are from Jacksonville. 3 guitarists on stage, probably a couple more standing by on the bus. Do "Dreams", a great cover of Allman Brothers Band.

[@edb6690]

Saw them early in 1979 opening for Foreigner in Portland OR. It was an epic concert, I was 15 feet from the stage.

[@DENNISJEFFERIS]

I'm from Edmonton in Canada and had the great pleasure of seeing these guys twice. The first time was for the Flirtin' With Disaster tour. I had their first 2 albums so I sort of knew what to expect from them. I don't think they knew what to expect from us frost bitten Canadians. After their show we ended up calling them back for 3 encores. The last one they came out in their gym shorts and tee shirts to play. Just goes to show great music can transcend anything.

“Dreams I’ll Never See” is a great remake (and totally different vibe) than the great Allman Brothers “Dreams”. The Allmans’ version is much more bluesy and subdued but I love them both.

Lee, I'm a collector of Frank Frazetta books and posters from way back. Absolutely love his artwork. I noticed that "Dark Kingdom" poster on your wall the first time I found your channel. I don't know if you've ever read up on Frank Frazetta's life and career but the dude pretty much set the standard for "Fantasy art" today. He illustrated for famous publications, books, advertisements, movie posters, comic books and more since all the way back in the 1950s. His work spawned many excellent imitators such as Boris Vallejo and others but Frazetta's style is a look that can never be duplicated exactly! The man was one of the great artists imo.

[@missblondie2393]

My son only in his 20s collects Frazetta art and of course his incredible album covers Believe it or not in Miami (art district in Wynwood) many are getting into Frazetta's style Even doing morals on street walls

@@coffee-xg6my I can’t show “dark kingdom” to the daughters so I have that one safely put away. I love franks work now. I wasn’t aware until someone sent me the art last year … he is amazing!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Go back about 4 years and there was quite a dry period there where there was very little King Crimson even available on KZbin to watch. It had been there before and then it all disappeared because there was a huge legal battle going on of some sort with record or something, so they basically took it offline for a long time. And then finally the lawsuits were all settled, and fairly quickly it started populating back on KZbin. For that reason, it actually doesn't surprise me that also it might be still heavily blocked in terms of copyright stuff.

[@nickhayes7082]

I saw them back in the early '80s, they rocked like hell live!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I think Blue Oyster Cult got started a little earlier than Molly Hatchet, but they definitely overlapped. They were just from very different segments of the overall music scene, but it wasn't uncommon at all for people to be fans of both.

[@donnakubiski5572]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I owned the record album and used to go in my basement with my record player and blast this song and dance around to it. I love how all the guitar fills are slightly different. There is a great live performance of this song on KZbin which is really excellent. Thanks Miss Blondie.

Gator Country is a cool song to do next. A tongue-in-cheek commentary of the rivalry between much of the southern fried rock at the time and the various southern states they came from vs Florida. Many mentioned in the song including Skynyrd, Allmans, Elvin Bishop, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker and the Outlaws etc. Ironically (and prob as a joke) they take a shot at Skynyrd for Alabama even though they are from Jacksonville FL. Speaking of the Outlaws and Florida. If you haven’t done it already, Green Grass and High Tides is well worth checking out. The Florida Guitar Army.

@@L33Reacts I meant Gator Country is about rivalries. Green Grass and High Tides is about past rock and roll legends who had died and Thomasson imagined them playing for him. Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin etc. The title of the song is a reordering of a Rolling Stones earlier compilation album title called High Tides and Green Grass.
