Jason and the Scorchers - Golden Ball and Chain 1986

[@iggypopisgod9]

These guys were untouchable live in the 80s. They would wipe the floor with anybody. No joke

[@zenvagabond]

Word

[@Johnny-lr5jt]

Word X2. I saw them several times.

[@brutallyremastered4255]

Guess you never saw The Johnnies

[@j3ff3ry18]

true statement

[@overallgreatidea6433]

40 Watt Club Athens, Georgia. I'm surprised the cops didn't show up just on principle.

[@markparker6846]

I bought this cassette at the base exchange when i was stationed overseas. I blasted it many days. They are the group i think of when i get homesick for old Nashville .

[@billyshane3804]

Jason and the Scorchers - sheer dynamite, should have been bigger than the Stones. Unbeatable live act. RIP Perry

[@teleman2157]

There’s a few bands that have come and gone that I thought would be huge. Del Fuegos, Georgia Satellites. Hell I thought Social Distortion was gonna rule the world when I stumbled across them around ‘91 or so.

[@jeffbarnes1015]

Besides Zeppelin I have never seen a band slay an audience like they did at the Center Stage in Atlanta. All spit and polish. You rocked Jason and the Scorchers...

[@overallgreatidea6433]

1980's 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA to the Chattahoochee Nature Center with my little kids to see Farmer Jason 25 years later, lol

[@gratefulseedsavernogmo5172]

The band is on FIRE and Jason is THE ICE…AN AWESOME LIVE BAND WITH ALL THE HOOKS!!! Miss that killer guitar work Warren Hodges puts down. Caught Warren playing with Dan Baird and Original Sin…LIGHTS OUT PERFORMANCE!!!

[@vchaynes]

First saw them play The Cannery @ Nashville live after hearing them on the Vanderbilt FM station 91.1. That station was where I first heard any punk rock like the Sex Pistols and alternative music. Jason and the NASHVILLE Scorchers were incredible on radio and nuclear live. Jason, Warner and band absolutely kicked our ass

[@millerman60]

Great video. In the 80's Jason and the Scorchers were an island in the sea of hairband hell.

[@grasscarpets]

Always compared these guys to Georgia Satellites and now Warner Hodges is with Dan Baird GREAT

[@rememberwhen1111]

Great energy live! A talented bunch of Artists. RIP Perry

[@SenorDetesto]

First time hearing this in many, many years. It brings back memories of some golden times long forgotten. This album was the soundtrack for one great summer.

[@timcornell7506]

Wow!!!...whew...I always loved this song. What a performance! 🤘

[@lorismithjennaway1547]

They were literally the mid 80s best live band.

[@wonjat5]

A very underrated group.

[@lpeddle8404]

warner just simply eats this number.

[@clemsplace]

Rocked as hard as any band, ever. Jason's cool. Band is tight. Great tune. What makes this special is Warner. Damn!

[@rickypalmer8076]

I remember this song blasting all over the campus of the University of North Alabama when I got outta Army n began college. Still just ushers all them good ole days front n center. lol

[@robwilhoit6461]

Always loved seeing these guys!!!

[@Mark-td5ux]

❤❤❤❤ Jason and the Scorchers.

[@howardcunniffe8738]

I was never really into Punk Rock in the 80's.But I always liked Jason and the Scorchers.

[@palominokid3002]

Cow Punk !

[@inlakesh555]

That bass❤

[@geneahart5607]

Goddammit! What a great band!

[@tdavidson1966]

Cheers for this man. Brings back memories of trips down south(Cornwall) in my brothers VW Baja Bug. Car@£1000, Sound system@£2000. 400 watts of Jason in '89. Excellent Summers.

[@dagnabbit6187]

They had and have a loyal following but they were still ahead of their time by a few years . Aldean , Paisley , Brooks, and the minions of numerous Nashville contrived shitkickers that came along subsequently owe a debt to this great band !

[@jamesbarnett2483]

1986 was a year of years

[@blazak]

Jeff was always so damn cool.

[@highwaymaintainer]

Warner Hodges is the "man" on guitar, one of my favorites, and they're playing end of July right by the house, sad to hear of Perry Baggs though, guess it'll be bittersweet

[@mikeboydp]

I got to see him play with Government Cheese a few years back in Nashville. kzbin.info?search_query=warner+hodges+government+cheese

[@zenvagabond]

The greatest rock n roll band Eva

[@MrCBILLC]

great song never any airtime

[@scheese]

Warner's on fire. Nicce

[@99somerville]

Never saw this as it was a local show. Great song from a rock in' band. Agree about the telecaster or les paul. Those two and a few others are the basis for rock.

[@HughesMath1]

Sweet

[@Rory1262]

What I like about this video is that you can really hear Jeff's bass thumping. As much as I was knocked out by Warner's guitar, as well as Perry's drumming and Jason tto, the production of the albums did not feature this dimension. This band remains one of my all-time favorites for the way they just blasted out of the box. Yes, they were trying to play the game at this point with hair and makeup and what have you, but they were still tremendous.

[@thesandwichlife]

amazing.....amazing....amazing....

[@JLHumbucker]

Warner Hodges :)

[@LordKenebutch]

@mtbluzman I almost went to that show, this album just came out. its something i'll always regret for not going but finally saw them at the Horseshoe Tavern in 96 or 97. We're they ever loud.

[@Mark-td5ux]

The ❤ of rock'n'roll 😊😊😊

[@jayhawks69]

greatest band ever!!! watch out for their new 2010 album release!!

[@cbkhokie]

Love the tele and LP but there are some incredible guitars from the 'pointy head stock' era as well..

[@amatelk956]

Wow awesome did he rip a knuckle at the ending ? Could swear looks his right hand is bvleeding ?

[@ZiplineShazam]

True Grit. Rebel Yell. Thank god for the Peyote.

[@mikewattdisciple]

I agree with your first sentence when it comes to this song and the album it's from, but their traditional sound (as represented by the first two records, as well as the brand new one) has more of a country flavor to it.

[@ShortBrainTV]

Warner Hodges (guitar)

[@jarirusi]

@blazak You bet he was :)

[@scottymacIII]

They fuckin' tried man , beleive me

[@Truthmoses]

there was nothing Andre the Giant couldnt do.

[@Beano17]

I think they created Psychobilly.
