@Lalala2427 Actually, there is only one original member left in the band: guitarist Dave Hlubek. The keyboard player was a side man that they used on their albums, but he didn't become an official member until 1984. The others are all newer additions to the band. Original lead singer Danny Joe Brown and original lead guitarist Duane Roland are both deceased. Some of the remaining original guys are in a band with Jimmy Farrar (he replaced Danny Joe briefly from 1980 through 1982).
Sand Hill Point.. My best friends ashes are scattered there!... Lived 3yrs in Titusville, miss that salt water!.. I was already in AZ before this show.. damnnnnnn miss it!
At least they have Dave Hlubeck back in the band to make it somewhat legitimate to retain the band name.I just picked up a copy of the DJB band album from 1981..Bobby Ingram is in the band...He's been around a long time..Still there is no excuse for ever retaining a band name when zero original members remain.
Bobby Ingram, the guitar player on the left here, bought the copywrites to Molly Hatchet from Pat Armstrong and Associates for a reputed $150,000. Some call this band "Bobby Hatchet." Bobby needed an original member fron the past band....and we have Dave Hlubek back. Dave details cars in Jacksonville for a living, but this is good gig money by anybody's standard. Rock On!
These pig posers trying to be Molly Hatchet are just a bunch of wanna be"s,Bobby (the fat ass guitar player and their common ass bitch manager Pat stole the Molly name,and I know that first hand Since Bruce (crump) is my neighbor and friend and married my best friend nancy
I'm sorry guys, but this AIN'T Molly Hatchet. Not even close. This sounds like some of the 4 o'clock in the morning drunk bands I've jammed with at some of the East Atlanta clubs.....and that's not a compliment for sure.
To put the argument in perspective, this band in the video is merely a good cover band. The music CD's they recorded since 1996 are very, very good southern rock albums. However, not to be confused with Danny, Bruce, David, Duane, Steve and Banner. Ingram and Phil could have chosen another name. make that should have. Hearing covers of MH tunes is great , this lineup plays them pretty tight. Bobby is just a revisionist, a third tier member before the '91 breakup.
They do a fair job keeping the music alive, Saw them in a little club in Cartersville, Ga. a while back, Hardly anyone was there but the band worked hard. Worth seeing for the price if you love the music.
I used to live in Titusville, I had always heard that the band had really went to shit and they turned into a bunch of drunken drug addicts and was reduced to playing the bar scene again, from watching this I don;t think that it was too far from the truth, but I will still always have a place in my heart for the good ol boys, they got me through a lot in my youth
Well, I was expecting something less based on other folks' replies. This is good ole southern rock as it has always been. Since I'm from Titusville where did they play? We used to watch SOMF City and others at Marker 34--whatever it is now... The club just south of Hwy 50 on US1.
Tough to watch this. I respect the bands old songs and in 1979 the original band was awesome. I don't fault any of these guys for trying to make a living but this is bad. Dave's there but get a third guitarist, Bruce on drums, Banner or even Riff on bass and get a singer that's not just a parody of Danny Joe. I've heard guys at karaoke bars drunk off their butts sound better than this guy. MH is getting a second chance with songs in movies and tv and video games so get a better lineup.
Worse than Lynyrd Skynyrd as far as just using a name. This singer is horrible. He actually makes the Van Zant brother who is singing for "Skynyrd" sound kind of good. Kind of.
jonnie sings just fine you fuckin retard,why dont you open your ears,i admit he cant sing like ronnie but he can still sing you fuckin dumbass.
how bout you light yourself on fire and burn in the hell of your own environment because i bet you couldnt sing half as good as any of the van zant brothers, fuckin loser
I guess you've kind of proven my point that Ronnie's brother can't sing worth a shit.--It's only dumb-fucking idiots like you who think his weak, pathetic voice is worth a shit. He and the other piece of shits in the band have ruined the Skynyrd name. An absolute disgrace all around, from the lame-ass versions of great songs, to the dumb fucking idiots like you who buy into it. You fucking idiot.
Neither Phil or Jonnie sound smooth their vocals sound too gruff maybe from too much whiskey. Both Danny & Ronnie had a smooth style its a damn shame they died so young. Whats never printed (possibly out of respect) I spoke to Dannys son at a show once & he said Danny liked his whiskey. Whiskey & Diabetes don`t mix, it probably was a contributing factor to his health problems & ultimately his death
wrong. Tim Lindsay on bass is NOT original. Hes literally the 25th bassist since 1991. Ingram was a 3rd tier replacement in 1986 well after the bands prime time. Shawn on drums is also about the 12th drummer post BRUCE CRUMP. Phil replaced DJB after he retired in '96. Phil was 7 years after the original band pulled the plug. Hlubeck IS the founding member and it pains me to see him play a side hack to Bobby. Dave, your band Gator Country is waiting for you..
You're right, I'm not much of a fan, but I was super psyched to go to this concert and I enjoyed it. I also saw Blackfoot that night. I'm much more of a Metallica fan though.
your are not a true Hatchet fan or you would not support this bullshyt . If you care you can go to GritZ and see how Booby Ingram screwed Danny joe Brown. So how can you call yourself true Molly hatchett Fan . get Real Dude
I said, "I'm not much of a fan". I don't want to start an argument, but what makes you think I said that. It's in black and white man, it's not that difficult to comprehend.
hey I was reading ahead of myself and when i hit the reply button it was on the wrong post Sorry to get you so ruffled. I was commenting on Sean cashes post. once again sorry for the Fkup
@BigDaddyDink63 Bobby Ingram should be shot and pissed on for destroying Molly Hatchet. Bring back Jimmy Farrar and some of the original members. Phil Mccormick sounds like shit compared to DJB and Jimmy
theres only one original member in the band and that's Dave hlubeck the guitar player hes the fat one.none of the others are originals.Danny Joe brown died in 2005 he was the original singer.
sure bobby ingrams been in the band a long time since 86 i think but hes still not an original band member.after dave left danny joe hired bobby he played on danny joe solo cd.
I saw them the summer of 1979 in Ft Pierce Florida...has to be one of the loudest bands I ever heard...but was a great concert !

Not a coverband, they are playing all over right now, they don't suck, they are just older, as are their fans. Rock on, MH, wish I could be there!

danny joe brown left molly hatchet in 1996
the original singer left because he got a massive stroke and had been sufferin from diabetes since age 19
he wrote the songs for the album devils canyon
but appointed phil to sing and it was a great choice him and phil were good good freinds
danny joe brown died on march 10th 2005 from a life-long struggle with diabetes and is solely missed among southern rock
my freind check out jammin for danny joe brown
