[Freyja1133]

A little background trivia about this song

this song is a cowboy( old west)  retelling of the wild hunt from Teutonic Mythology

[57IAM]

@Freyja1133 How do you know that, I'm interested? Please tell me.

[uribeorbi]

Lomejor k eoido rifan (y) yehhhhhhh

Florida's Southern Guitar Army!



[Freyja1133]

@neilr1956  Yeah ! both the outlawa & molly hatchet

[1jetdrvr]

I first heard this song when I was seven years old. I am now 69. It is as powerful now as it was then, a song that has followed me all my life.

[ReinadoSombrioGames]

Ghooooooooooooooooooooost Riders in the Sky! 

[sirbrek1]

I like the Blues Brothers version best. This is still great though.

[stephencellucci]

I thought this was a Cash song?

[TheSnoge]

CLASSIC

[toogawnjawn]

I had the out laws t shirt with snakes on it back in the late 70's or early 80's, this is the first time that I have heard theri music in decades.

[cglawrence]

I fucking hate the fact that I have been around for 40 years on this rock, and just only now found these guys. Holy shit am I pissed.

[mgmstylist]

@cglawrence Their are many folk who were born during the rage of Viet Nam and probably grew to dig the music of their time which in the mid '70 these guys were fading out, in radio play and Donna Summer began kickin. I was there for it all. I miss these guys, MTB, CDB, Outlaws, 38 special, Kansas and many more I can't remember right now. Hey, the fact is brother, you found them now, and that's what counts. 

[cglawrence]

@mgmstylist you got that right brother!

[mydogspet]

@cglawrence I look at it this way, I've been on this rock for much longer, and I couldn't keep track of all the great albums out there. I think Joe Bonamassa had 7 albums before I discovered him. Lol.

[visigots1]

My father has this recorded by frankie laine.It is very cheesy.An album of western movie themes.

[ggbluebf]

Best version of Ghost Riders. Their sound has the full effect.

[chevybabyprice]

The first version I heard was by the Sons of the Pioneers. The came Johnny Cash and then others. All of the versions have there own unique version. Some of the words were changed from the original release by Sons of the Pioneers.

[thespotteddog]

Listen to Vaughn Monroe's version for the real thing. Piss poor remake.

[Sludge62]

Used to play this all of the time, back in the good old high school days.

[JamesDOShea]

When are we going to hear this in the background of SoA?

[cglawrence]

@JamesDOShea lol. I was wondering the same thing!

[JamesDOShea]

I love my copy of Green Grass & High Tide

[captkilt]

@JamesDOShea Now there was a bitchin tune for sure...Good call!

[basicaa]

This is one of the very first songs I remember hearing on the radio -- the Burl Ives version when I was very young. Loved that version, but love the Outlaws version the best.  It rocks

[angrydude441]

the guy all the way to the left looks like bill hader as general custard from NATM2

[123mark3]

great classic.

[hornman71]

Every remake of this song I LIKE!

[UlaMariaMagdalena]

What a fantastic version-I love it

[ynott143]

I saw them in Dallas in the seventies and with that many Guitars on stage at one time it was awsome.

[TheQueposfan]

Who ever did the marketing for this group should be shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bazooka974]

Wow ! These guys are W O N D E R FUL !

[fidomusic]

This is bloody brilliant!

[alreaud]

OMG... It's been a tour this morning. Many, many moons I saw the at the old race track in Hialeah. One of the most awesome concerts I went to. Been a good 10 years since I heard this. Been doing the tour this morning reminiscing. Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels... Hell of an era it was.

[jcp0129eek]

I was fortunate enough to see them at a small venue, in Salt Lake City '77, and was right up front near the stage...they all came out at the end of the concert playing guitars doing this song. It was a moment I'll never forget.

[Big0Red0Biker]

I have liked every version I have heard, of this song.

[bazooka974]

@Big0Red0Biker it's the same for th me ! I like all the versions !

[rdeacey]

Okay

[ShellTrek]

A hot tune like this would make any movie a hit!

[tnsodbuster]

awesome made goosebumps like burl ives 1949 recording we need more bands like this today no mater what kind of music they are involved in WE NEED TALENTED ARTISTS

[tnsodbuster]

shouldnt it be "an old cowpoke went " instead of "an old cowboy went"

[usaruss]

This song sounds good in lots of styles. I like this rock version & the several more country versions I've heard by Johnny Cash & others.

[tubahead16]

Awesomeness!

[nimakoulas]

lol,cowboys!!!!

[weavme]

RIP Hughie and Billy :(

[roofermarc1]

What the fuck ever happened to mankind to not have a band that can play music like this anymore?

[Drink14You]

OUTLAWS do it best.

Jim Beam and I will .....

[perfectstrangr0]

This is my favorite song of all time no matter who does it (I'm 64)

[talkinglens1]

Got supreme chills reading the lyrics! Mighty powerful.

[Schlachtungen]

Perfect music for Red Dead Redemption lol. Especially when he is in the West and in Mexico at sunset.

[JewelssOwnsz]

I Love This Version! Waaaay Better The Spiderbait. In My Opinion ;D

[n4mjg1]

@JewelssOwnsz i agree too ! this is waaaaaaaaaaaay better !!:)

[JewelssOwnsz]

@n4mjg1 iKnoow Rite ! Ahahaa(:

[BADBRYZ]

I want to hear Slayer do a version. That'd just be bad-ass.

[dottore1234]

@BADBRYZ LOL...that's because everything slayer touches becomes badass by default.



[ebonics4everyone]

@BADBRYZ Unfortunately it would only be about four seconds long. Did you ever hear what Slayer did w/ In Da Gadda Da Vida?

[TwistedFilmz09]

new old school !!!! enjoy!



[destruidor67]

THE BEAST VERSION!!!!!

[KoKoLoCo84]

This is one of those songs that you just got to hear from time to time.

[tomzambelli]

@KoKoLoCo84 yea man! at least every couple months! green grass high tides too!

[emerge187]

shouldve had this as soundtrack for the movie

[TheChaingang2011]

its said the west was built on legends.tall tales that help us under stand things to great or to terifing to under stand

[don417]

Would've been better had they not left out the most important verse.

[starz1331]

Very funny 420

[Pudinator]

Absolutely the best version.  Hard to believe Burl Ives made the original version in the 1940's.

[15GamingGuy]

This music brings John Marston straight out of his grave

[AmericanHawkTY]

Even Clint Eastwood would probably say " Damn, where was this in my western films?"

[27wingnut]

@AmericanHawkTY TRUE THAT!

[gemdavey]

@AmericanHawkTY without a doubt!

[kosjeyr]

@AmericanHawkTY Chuck Norris and John Wayne would prolly say the same thing!

[Aliendear]

The seventies had great music, and do you know why? Reincarnated Souls, who learned their lessons long ago and could teach it in another life. Yes, reincarnated souls. Most good musicians born from the 1940's are souls who learned their lesson. And who were good again. TY, over & out!

[GreenyFool]

@Aliendear Going by that logic, why does modern music suck?

[Aliendear]

@GreenyFool dunno...

[scout11b1000]

@GreenyFool .....you just have to know where to look for good music...good music is now shunned by the WTF generation but its there

[saaamaelll]

oh my god, this song is awesome!! pure epicness!!!!!

[ahsan811]

awesome remix :-D love it

[Silverweed60]

always one of my favorites!

[beejimmy1]

cant get nooooo better........

[groovem0nkey]

I love Johnny Cash's music ... he was a great musician .. and his version of this song is good... but this is the best version of this song I've ever heard ... and I never knew Henry Paul was from Outlaws ...

[jeffb178]

C'ets la meilleure version de cette chanson : une explosion de guitares sur un train d'enfer ! Fabuleux ! Keep Rockin' Hughie...We love you even in France...

[frog23988]

How could anyone dislike this

[jatras]

I saw them open for Skynyrd in '77.  Whoo hoo!!

[MasterWitchDoctor]

@jatras I seen them open for Bad Co in June '77 then in Nov '77 seen them record Bring Them Back Alive in Bicentennial Park in Miami which was the Skynyrd tribute concert.

[johnnyboy1mc]

oh man ,,this takes me back...fucking great tune....

[1Torb1]

i am scared there is 666 likes

[rjplamf61]

Them some ugly motherfuckers boy!

[Tonithenightowl]

This and Spiderbait are the best versions going.

[Super70duster]

theres no doubt that the outlaws sing the best version of this song.it ROCKS....

[ogdeckape]

by far the best ghost riders

[theJetta1995]

Just love this version.

[legionaireb]

My opinion: Combine the instrumentals of this version with the vocals of the Blues Brothers version and you'll have the absolute most blow-your-mind edition of this song ever.

[SuperLiftRick]

YES, IT IS THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG...If you were "blessed" to have seen them play it live in concert than you "TRUELY" saw the BEST version. Yes I did and it has NEVER left my mind, body, or sould since.

[CRZYCalindian]

Absolute classic. Southern Rock at its purest form, from one of the best southern rock bands

[camero1963]

Of all my kick ass favorite guitar songs, this one ranks right up there. The guitar solos give me that extra boost of energy when i lift weights to it.

[BuckNekkid3000]

OVERPRODUCED

[able506]

@ROSMANAIRSOFT lawls just realized epic pun .38 special not in the same caliber lawls no pun intended

[able506]

@ROSMANAIRSOFT oh dont get me wrong i definitely like .38 special as well i just dont think there the same caliber as afor mentioned bands

[able506]

@ROSMANAIRSOFT talent wise i do not consider .38 special in the same league as the acts listed above imo

[flagwaver1969]

Outlaws rock but nobody did Ghost Riders In The Sky like the Man in Black.

[TimothyFC6809]

If this is not the best rendition, it is darn close to it. How can it not be? Power, beauty, energy, emotion, sorrow, pain, happiness, the whole 9 yards.  Just plain genius.

[able506]

goddamn these southern rock bands from the 70's were so kick ass lynyrd skynyrd marshall tucker band the outlaws allman brothers just plain old good music

[MrEdgarjuan]

i guess schager 65 never heard vaughn monroe sing the song,i like cash,but i would never give my opinion as being the best of anything,i am just a person who likes to enjoy music and all kinds.the best of anything is the one you like the best. stop telling people who you think is the best.

[rocmaven]

The Outlaws take over the watseka theatre watseka illinois on friday october 14, 2011

[Schager65]

Johnny Cash had the best version and he made the song what it is today get it right

[gibsg62]

@Schager65  ....The Outlaws are Jammin'...!

[dnelly]

i love this song , country ass redneck cats

[rocker4u123]

the only way to listen to this song is with a Colt single action Army pistol in your hand and a bottle of moonshine in the other.

[HeavyMetalViking89]

@rocker4u123 ON A HORSE!

[soanoen]

i would do a hell lotta stuff to go back in time and make my high school in times when Rock was all'round the radio's..

17 y Dutchman spoke ;)

[mrgeorge457d]

Wow man , I think I was in High-School ... yea man ,High-school

[looselatigo]

I love this song in most of the versions I've heard. This is just another good one. I don't mind a different take on the Stan Jones classic.



[Semmei]

leck oasch so eine brutal geile Version!!! HAMMER

[100bosmith]

good version but there is a verse missing the last one ,can't find the long version anywhere can anyone help me

[bobbyblong]

if u dont feel some thang in that song ur dead...!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

the Outlaws hit #31 in Billboard, 3-7-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Was Henry Paul still in the group, when they recorded it? Please let me know.

[rossobass420]

I play this song when I'm robbing trains and killing drunks at the poker table.

[nerblebun]

@rossobass420 I only use my gun whenever kindness fails.

[patriotplus]

@rossobass420 - No better way to enjoy the song, I guess.

[Matthijs3476]

@rossobass420 And when you're sitting behind your pc all day apparently...

[27wingnut]

turn it up as loud as it will go and snatch the knob off........

[lumberjak5010]

I saw The Cowboys, Molly Hatchet, Randy Rhodes (Black Sabbath), the guitarists from Blue Oyster Cult, Whitesnake, Eddy Van Halen and a bunch of other guys all play this version at the same time on stage in Borbligen Germany in 1982. I lost my voice. It was epic, awesome and fantastic.

[purepulp]

This is my absolute favorite version of this song. It's fucking BOSS.

[obikoe]

yeaahhhh.... that,s the real shit.

[Yyyyzyyy]

Yippee eye AYYYYYYYY yippee eye OHHHHHHH

[VeLvEtGuNs]

Just EPIC.

[Blackinterceptor999]

Very cool version, Its like Southern hard rock....Heck even the original version is pretty badass I saw it performed live at the bean ranch, them old folks rocked out pretty hard...No joke!

[tieyourmotherdown1]

This is the best version of Ghost Riders in my opinion.

[30millioncrabs]

@tieyourmotherdown1 been an Outlaws fan for 30 + years. ThnX for posting this. Brings Good Memories.

[ramirock96]

@tieyourmotherdown1 The Johnny Cash one was awesome too

[tazzboy77]

@tieyourmotherdown1 This and Johnny Cash version are my 2 favorite versions

[ledzepmike88]

@tieyourmotherdown1 check out the don kelly band version WITH JD SIMO!!!!!

[roofermarc1]

@tieyourmotherdown1 Agree totally.

[warzillazonk]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time,No matter who did it,it sounded good but the outlaws is my favorite!Michael Mink

[warzillazonk]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time,No matter who did it,it sonded good but the outlaws is my favorite!Michael Mink

[kpsmm]

Believe it or not, but I seen The Outlaws open for Black Sabbath (Dio) in '81 or '82. They were amazing live.

[gnatpiz]

@kpsmm I saw the Outlaws open for Boston in Long Beach , CA in the late 70's when Boston was big. Boston put on a fantastic show, but Outlaws kicked their ass. They were mind-blowingly spectacular...

[kpsmm]

@gnatpiz Ya, it's funny I don't remember Sabbath being mind blowing, but I still remember The Outlaws playing this song. They were amazing.

[NeverMind9132]

Such an awesome intro.

[ColdVVavezz]

srry for this ppl all i dont like it spiderbait and johnny cash is wayy better

[JHutch54]

These guys were great, where did they go?

[dochillard]

As a Ghostrider myself, this song is our theme song, take your hats or skullcaps off

[Drachaotoc]

country rock? wtf is that? i know what southern rock is (which is what this is) but country rock? I guess they let anyone say anything they want on here before knowing what the hell they're talking about huh

[SuperGentlelady]

Awesome remake! Loved it from the first time I listened to it.

[mydogspet]

The best country rock album ever!

[jimmyp73]

@mydogspet its kinda more like western rock , if that makes any sense
