[@daveclark7053]

The 3 guitar army of Southern Rock!! The Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet all kicked it big!!

[@williamcannon7256]

Danny Joe Browns voice can never be duplicated RIP 👑Danny Joe Brown

[@billydworrell8259]

R I P Danny Joe Brown.

[@mikemartin5749]

I got to play on stage with him one night. He came into a club on Amelia Island where my band was playing and did a couple of songs. What an honor. I can't remember what year it was, but maybe 1989.

[@nunyabusiness5075]

The ENTIRE band is dead. As of 2020 all six original members have passed away.

[@michaelforsythe9350]

My favorite Molly Hatchet song is their cover of The Allman Brothers song “Dreams” The way Molly Hatchet changed up the song kept a great song great.

[@rubbersole79]

R.I.P. to this entire band. All gone now, but never forgotten.

[@chopperdeath]

That's true. All gone but I hope they are not forgotten.

[@lancerx1759]

This entire album is Fire !!!! Molly Hatchet is from Jacksonville Fla , Ronnie Van Zandt was a friend and fan of the band

[@gregaroo329]

I agree! There's not a bad song on this album!

[@tranurse]

Duuuuvvvvaaallllll!!!!!!!

[@jameysummers1577]

It's great to see the younger generations enjoying older music.

[@myownchannel247]

Molly Hatchet is southern rock on steroids! Gator Country next 🔥

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Well said. 😆

[@vickieray]

“Gator Country” “Fall Of The Peacemakers” “Dreams I’ll Never See” Their music is amazing!! Those vocals are courtesy of Mr. Danny Joe Brown!!

[@jayhumphrey7858]

Greg Allman wrote Dreams I'll never see

[@admobeer9551]

​@@jayhumphrey7858 True but Danny Joe Brown did it better, imo.

[@gitfiddler716]

Gator Country!!

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

Molly Hatchet is definitely Southern Rock . Great drinkin' and fightin' music !

[@richardcranium5048]

I'm with this fellar here, nothing but the truth spoken

[@danielkesselring9172]

Hahahaha.. you’re right.. I was stationed there 💪🏻🎸😎..

[@lancerx1759]

That's a Fact !!!

[@jakschmo9761]

aMen n play dat shit again!!!

[@freebirdtony]

Yes sir, another kick-ass Southern Rock band from Duval County, along with Blackfoot and .38 Special. Southern Rock is loved by every Rocker.😊✌️

[@charlesgarner2177]

Listen to the ENTIRE first albums! No disappointments. Saw these guys on their first tour and about 9 more times. They gave 110 percent every time. RIP.

[@davidbordonaro1631]

Have you done Dreams I'll Never See ,by them ? its a cover of The Allman bros. So good ! my friend you could do a reaction of my sister playing piano ( she can't play) and I'd watch ! Molly Hatchet is southern rock at its finest

[@sean3038]

Now you need to check out Gator Country, Dreams I'll Never See, and Fall Of The Peacemakers. You won't be disappointed.

[@zebjohnson5580]

Molly Hatchet is like if Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman brothers had a child together. " Gator Country " " Fall of The Peace Makers " " Dreams I'll Never See " cover of Allman brothers song 🤘✌♥️

[@mizzouborn]

I'd say MH is combo of The Allmans and AC/DC

[@chuckwright8889]

fyi, all from Jax FL same time....along with 38 Special and Blackfoot....all 5....

[@jeffrowson8974]

When I was a kid I mistook hatchet for skyward all the time.both great!!

[@louismilum8663]

I reckon that's the best way to put it...God, such great music!

[@joeyboogenz]

Yes ,and Charlie Daniels babysitting !!

[@shawnj1966]

Molly Hatchet was the harder side of Southern Rock. My second favorite behind Skynyrd! Bounty Hunter, Gator Country and Fall of the Peacemakers are favorites of mine!

[@AttackChefDennis]

My 1st football game weekend in Gainesville/ UF(17yrs old) in 1985, we all in the dorms were awoken by GATOR COUNTRY at top volume 8 am to start partying for 12:30 game in the SWAMP!

[@allenruss2976]

​@@AttackChefDenniscollege in the 80s just can't be beat

[@ktwebbdevil]

Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant was supposed to produce their first album(GREAT) until the plane crash happened.I actually got to meet singer Danny Joe Brown in Jacksonville! Great guy! You should do Dreams I'll Never See,the live version of Beating The Odds, Whiskey Man,and Boogie No More!

[@seiraeiramasil2302]

This is usually the go to song when it comes to Molly Hatchet. My favorite song by them is "Dreams I'll Never see", "Gator Country" pretty cool too. Thanks so much for this reaction!

[@Thatsmisteroldguytou]

Right on! Molly Hatchet kicks ass!!!

[@tammydean3003]

Seeing them live was such a great time. Danny Joe Brown on vocals and three guitars and a bass all moving in unison. They put on a helluva show. 🔥 Notice alot of the southern rock bands, you'll hear a whistle here and there.

[@gregaroo329]

You can't go wrong with three lead guitars!

[@KyleCoEntertainment]

One of the most unique parts of the whole song is when Danny Joe Brown whistles at the top of the bridge. Awesome!

[@flyingburritobro68]

That’s another blatant Van Zant rip off. This is a good song but the band was totally derivative

[@joshpauley289]

@@flyingburritobro68 you do realize he was friends with the band? I hope you also realize music is all about borrowing ideas and using them in your own way. Surely you dont want the whistle removed?

[@bluesmike1]

OMG!!! Finally, Molly Hatchet!!! "Boogie No More" Gator Country" and "Bounty Hunter".....PLEASE!!!!!!!

[@Tune-O-matic]

"The further north you go in Florida..The deeper you are in the South"-Ronnie Van Zandt

[@timpafundi6321]

Gotta love those guitar sounds…They define the sound of southern rock. All those bands have that melodic and twin lead sounds.

[@LJA46]

You do a fantastic job reacting, and it seems like you have a tremendous appreciation for great music! Boogie No More is a must! Fall of the Peacemakers also. Dreams I'll Never See.

[@watchbizmatik]

Thank you

[@williamcannon7256]

Loved Molly Hatchet drank a lot of beer and had a lot of good times listening to Danny Joe Brown sing these great tunes

[@WillSmith-rx5jl]

got my first speeding ticket to this song... i turned the volumn up on the radio and the car just started going faster. It was the first of what I now call "100mph" songs

[@steven9428]

Thats funny shit! I always called this the song that makes me want to drive fast.

[@the_red_wolf6196]

Hell yeah brother, Mollys one hit that made me feel like a Biker

[@djimaging2]

Back in the early 80's when I played in cover in a cover band before I went to originals we used to open with this. It set a good ton for the night. Got people into the show right away. Check our Dreams I'll never see by MH

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Yes,, Molly Hatchet is definitely a thumbs up ,, you will have to check out more !!!

[@rdykes47]

I first heard this song when I was 16 when it came out in 1978 and I felt EXACTLY the same way you did. Congrats on your non-profit by the way. Keep up the good work buddy!

[@janishaldeman3339]

My roommates ride picked him up ever morning 5 am... This song blasting from the car. Never needed an alarm.

[@vickiconley3638]

Love Molly Hatchet! Thanks Biz

[@Smootman1]

Guitar Attack. Southern Fried, BizMatik. Hit Fall Of The Peacemakers, Bounty Hunter, Dreams I'll Never See...😎😎

[@jamienightingale707]

This whole album and No Guts, No Glory are on my daily play list at work

[@coolroy4300]

One of the greatest bands ever came out right when we needed them the most .Playing and drinking all over the world back in 1974.

[@gwensnyder8313]

Banger! Do not play while driving! 🚨🚓

[@antarcticorb9197]

That's right Biz! Take it from me, at the age of 65 and the older I get, the most important things are the memories I've created through living. I have few if any regrets, and I want to be completely exhausted when I check out.

[@raymondreid4987]

That three lead guitarists' attacks would blow your mind.

[@ebutuoyssa]

I was really enjoying your first half commentary. I knew what was about ready to happen right when you paused. This band will never put the good stuff where you expect it., but they'll pack more in than you could ever imagine possible. Great watching you listen to this one. Thanks!

[@blueyzblue6391]

On what you said about Life: It's So true...Thoughts become Words, Words become Deeds, Deeds become Habits, Habits become your Life

[@poosala8821]

Molly Hatchet is from Jacksonville FL. I live in Jacksonville, FL. They are bad ass southern rockers like Lynard Skynard. Lynard Skynard, Mollly Hatchet, and 38 Special use to Switch out band members when they were starting off playing gigs around town.

[@jfrisaro]

Hatchet hits a big home run on this song. Danny Joe Brown’s vocals are as hard driving as the guitar playing and drumming. This song is up there with any Southern Rock song. Dreams I’ll Never See is the next one for you.

[@mamarana4007]

"Train, Train" by Blackfoot is amazing. I'd bet you'd like it. Same energy. 🔥

[@gregaroo329]

It is sad that there aren't any living members left in Molly Hatchet R.I.P.

[@richardcranium5048]

They were a phenomenal live band, I've seen them three times, all in the 80'

[@hog7203]

Love your comment " If you spend your whole life not doing shit, you probably ain't gonna be shit". A wise and truthful statement. I need to give that advice to several people I know. Molly Hatchet rocks hard. Saw em a few times back when their first two albums came out. Actually bought the first album because of the Frank Frazetta cover art. I knew who he was, but not them. Bounty Hunter and One Man's Pleasure are two of my favorite tunes.

[@gregtheegg3576]

Missing from a lot of observations: they had 3 AWESOME lead guitarists. This song features them taking turns right in the middle, then joining forces to mirror each other.

[@AttackChefDennis]

Dreams I'll never see. Molly Hatchet and for my bro, RIP Pete.

[@awwykane]

En el verano practicamente toda la gente estaba obsesionada con esa rolaza era tan solo una niña, recuerdo cuando la bailaba con mis amigos en las fiestas de fin de curso del colegio, este año cumplo 30 y miro atrás esos momentos tan preciosos 🥰💕

[@LesSmith45]

Biz!!! This is another one of those albums that is a must own!!!! Every single song is kick ass Southern Rick at it finest! I enjoy your reactions every day. Next Molly Hatchett song to react to would be Beaton’ the Odds’ great song

[@randywissler9923]

R.I.P DANNY JO BROWN!!! One of the absolute most unique voices EVER!!!!

One true hallmark of souther rock is the guitar army!

[@kengunter6903]

There out of that Florida water. Check out who came from that area classic rock wise. Something in the water. Lol.

[@Squidette18]

Please react to Boogie no More ! Love this band 2x I saw them in concert. Did not disappoint for sure .

[@damoon2631]

Don't get this song in your head riding a motorcycle on an empty interstate!!! KZ 1000 LTD 145mph!!! I never got the seat cover to lay flat after that!! I gave, "get a grip" an alternative!! That's what you call Flirtin With Disaster!!! Great song!

[@margiemcpeak9304]

🎸💯 Molly Hatchet is another badass band‼🔥 You KNOW I love that Southern Rock‼"Flirtin With Disaster" is great to start with‼I love your reactions, BizMatik‼Thanks for this dude‼☮ ❤ 🎶

Hatchet, Skynyrd, Allman, 38 Special, Blackfoot...all from Jax Florida...the bad side of Jax...in the late 60s early 70s. All knew each other.

"Gator Country" is calling for your reaction Bizmatic

[@ivansavoie3190]

I knew you were going to change your mind once guitars kicked in, great reaction,

[@carlosreira413]

That's the sound of gators, dillers, and swamp pine.

Great review you are so right maybe in the top ten rock song all time

[@pennylockhart9553]

60s through the early 80s... BEST MUSIC EVER! Man! I miss those days!

[@helmutkurtneumnn2026]

In the 80s i happen to watch them Live together with 38 Special and the Outlaws doing this Song in the end accomplish all their guitarists at once ending up on the same lick after every one of them had His Solo blew The roof off the house Man f&€#g awesome

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

The lead singer Danny Joe Brown was a bad diabetic & died in 2005 at age 53! Whats up fellow Georgia boy & How Bout Them DAWGS! ✌💖☮

[@paulwiggington4563]

Awesome reaction... I love seeing younger people hearing the music i grew up with for the first time...

[@lizardkingof1968]

Dreams I'll Never See, and Gator Country are fire 🔥

[@georgewilliams4258]

Saw them years ago and met the singer guy couldn't be more down to earth.Three guitars bass drums and a hell of a vocalist!

[@LesSmith45]

Biz!! I see you like screaming guitars too! Not just the lyrics. I see you jamming to those solos!

[@lisamcbride8921]

Southern rock at its finest! Turns my mini van into an Indy car!

[@ArgentLeftovers]

Gonna have to tell the kids we are getting them to soccer practice in RECORD time unless the PD is out. Then we may be a bit late.

[@amosglitterz2649]

There's a live version on here somewhere. Small venue. They kill it! Also - two 'lead' guitars. You hear them alternate, then join in together.

[@jessew1133]

It's actually 3 guitars and they were pioneers of that particular sound. Other bands played with 3 guitars usually one on rhythm and one on lead with the third guitar coming in either rhythm or lead to "beef" up the sound. MH actually took that concept further where all three guitars would take turns being the lead. That's why their guitar parts sound so amazing. You can really hear and see this in their live recordings. Top notch all around. Cheers 🍻

[@markhopkins222]

When you moved to Georgia was it anything like you thought it would be? Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Outlaws, Marshall Tucker Band, 38 Special, ARS, BLACK OAK ARKANSAS, Wet Willie, Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, Charlie Daniels Band, Little Feet. Others add more but to me this is the core

[@watchbizmatik]

Nope nothing like what I thought

[@deannacrownover3]

Florida Rock! ♥️

[@leonordiaz8596]

All from the 904 baby..True music. Real music...

[@mikehutton3187]

The drummer is great in this as well.

[@barbmurray8557]

What an excellent uplifting song. Reminds me of being late for work and driving.

[@johnsmathers190]

That whole album Flirting With Disaster is fantastic

[@colinturcinov4002]

Hey Bizmatik, Col from Sydney. Hope your well. I was introduced to Molly Hatchet about 20 years ago. I thought to myself when a friend suggested the band to me, I don`t know dude, strange name for a band. But then I had a listen and liked them straight from the get go. I think if I remember right that they are from Jacksonville Florida. Great vocals, great guitars and a very tight sounding band. Funnily enough, they have 3 guitarist and use Peavey amplification just like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Must be a southern thing.

[@shawnj1966]

They are from Jacksonville Florida, as is Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot. The Allman Brothers also have strong ties to Jacksonville.

[@pebblehilllane]

This was one of the songs on the Southern Fried Rock album that was a collection of the best of Southern Rock. I pretty much wore my album out.

[@dr.christosbalis8398]

southern rock is fun music , thank you for sharing

[@debbiemccain5850]

"Dreams I'll Never See" is another great one!!🎶🎸🎶🎸

[@johnnyallen5902]

Recently found your channel and I'm really enjoying it. It's great to see reactions from someone who actually listens to lyrics and understands what the song is about...often on multiple levels. I had the pleasure of meeting lead singer Danny Joe Brown after a show and he was incredibly nice. Also grew up with his step-brother, Ken who gave me the white and red satin jacket Danny wore in the photo on the back of the "Flirtin' with Disaster" album. Great memories. Sadly, every member of that lineup has now passed. Thank you for introducing their music to a whole new generation.

[@pammcnary]

Molly Hatchett opened for the Outlaws in 78-79 in Phoenix, and totally stole the show!! Their energy is phenomenal! The Outlaws were boring after them! Yep. I’m old. :)

[@brianfisher6165]

Love Molly Hatchet!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😁😁

[@emdusha5590]

Molly Hatchet was my first concert!

[@davemcbroom695]

I wore the groove clean thru on this one.

[@TonyM1961]

Danny Joe Brown may not have been a founding member, but it's largely due to his unique voice that they really "hit it big". Not that they were bad before he came. Every member of this band was incredibly talented. It's just that during this time period every "big name band" had a high tenor lead then along comes Danny and doesn't just break the mold, he obliterated it. Sadly, we lost him due to his severe diabetes and complications from Hep C in '05. Now there's nobody left alive from the group these days and the world is a smaller place without them. May they all rest in peace

[@joegreen6530]

Flirtn with disaster,Beating the Odds,Whiskey Man,and I Used to Love Her And Creeper are my favorite Molly Hatchet songs.

[@metalmark1214]

A great song. My favorite by them.

[@mariaclayton9892]

Amazing Band .Period!

[@williamreiser]

Molly Hatchet God Rest their souls all members are dead was a southern rock band that took it to a meaner level in a good way and they were a hard charging hard playing partying band may they all rest in peace man I miss you guys they're from Jacksonville Florida and I lived right on the same street that the band was at which was San Juan Avenue in Jacksonville

[@mrnobody9104]

Great Band Gator Country and Dreams I'll never see are excellent tunes to check out!

[@jeffwarren4938]

Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides..live version 22 minutes of pure kick ass southern rock.

[@joemcbride5260]

Live version plus a video of Dreams I’ll never see !!!! Awesome sang LIVE and watching them is the best 4 guitars

[@michaelhornstein1504]

great reaction, Biz!!! Fall....Of....The.... Peacemakers.... should be next. i think you will dig it. love ya brotha

[@scuppernog1]

First time I ever heard them was live, opening a small arena in west Texas for AC/DC. It was before Back in Black was released and Molly Hatchet rocked that place so hard that we were disappointed when AC/DC came out. I immediately bought this album and played nothing else for a couple of weeks.

[@spikebeans9563]

You Need To check out Dreams( I'll Never See) Live version. Thanks.
