Danny Joe is a legend. Molly Hatchet were a band of immense talent, with some of the best guitarists in rock n roll - period. I was amazed when they added keyboards, but equally amazed at what a great album they produced. I think this track has stood the test of time and is now a classic. RIP Danny and Duane.
This is garbage..I'm surprised Danny wanted any part of this song lol..i don't even want to see the credits ...You won\t see them doing this one in any of the new show..Even though without Danny they are nothing...I still think Hlubeck "or however he spells it" isn't long for this world if he doesn't drop that weight He can't even see his guitar much less play it , someone is going to mistake him for a beached whale and harpoon his ass..lol
Their most commercial album, a bit slick on the production side, but there are still some kickass songs on TDID, and they hadn't completely abandoned the Southern rock sound, as evidenced on "Good Smoke and Whiskey."
i was born southern in TENN and raised in TAMPA FL when this band was rocking hard thank god 4 ROBERT E LEE RONNIE VAN ZANT LYNYRD SKYNYRD up in JACKSONVILLE FL and DANNY JOE BROWN this just prooves the south will rise again now i am back in TENN after 25 yrs and this band makes me wanna go back to the GATOR COUNTRY and fly like the FREEBIRD if there is a HEAVEN for SOUTHERN ROCKERS i know BOTH are there AMERICAN BY BIRTH SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD they BOTH LIVE ON AND MADE US PROUD TO REBEL
Yep this sucked was not long after there was the D JOE BAND,,HULBEK WENT TO BIG ENGINE ,,BB BOUDON HAD LEFT BEFORE THIS TO THE OUT LAWS WITH HUGIE,,AND HUBEK STILL JAMS WITH HATCHET AND BIG ENGINE,,AND BANNER IS IN A COUNTRY BAND AROUND JAX FL,,HATCHET STILL JAMS LIKE HELL WITH HUBEK,,,BIG ENGINE FACE BOOK THEY OPEN FOR HATCHET ALL THE TIME,,the first hatchet band only had 3 jax boys in the band DJ,HUBEK,BANNER the rest was from the other side of the world!!!!!!
@fistchips They were forced to bend with the times back then, I remember reading an article Dave Hulbek, said they were reluctant to alter their sound but didn't have much of a choice, the record labels were gonna drop them if they didn't. The 80's ruined everybody back then. This is not one of their best, but a solid song though.
@APACHESKULL I agree..the music biz was taken over by doctors and lawers and such..that's why pop artists all sound the same these days..thank God for Indie lables..
This song is from "The Deed Is Done" from 1985, the last studio album they completed for Epic. That was the first album John Galvin did as a full-fledged member of Hatchet (he played keys on most of their other albums before that). They had one other single from that album, "Stone In Your Heart". That album marked Bruce Crump's return to the band (he was replaced in '83 by former Mother's Finest drummer Billy "BB" Borden, who was with Marshall Tucker the last I knew).
Grew up on Hatchet .Saw them 3 times on first album tour.Also saw them in Hampton VA before they were anybody .I play bass and they are big influence-as they should be with any good southern rock musician.
This song sounds A LOT like Shakin by Eddie Money. Damn I love 80's rock and metal music, definetly got me hooked to guitar, and I'm only 16, I was born way too late!!!
@SheaBearden My friend hung around after a show back in the early 80`s & Danny handed him his whiskey bottle & Jamie who isn`t a whiskey drinker said oh ok thanks Danny & took a swig That was in San Diego He also got to see the Rock N Roll Tonite show Unfortunately I missed that show but I got to see MH w/ Danny twice at the Baccanal in San Diego & at another club in San Diego nest to a skatepark
This is the Molly Hatchet I grew up on!! I saw them in Sept of this year (2009) and I do realize we've all got a lil older but really could've done without the visual and kept the "Danny J Brown" visual of MOLLY HATCHET!!! I don't care what's said there will never be another as good as OR even matched with DJB and the Molly Hatchet Band !!!!!!***!
well, keyboard player john galvin is STILL in hatchett and is the longest lasting member in the band... he has been there even longer than bobby ingram
This was definitely a record company with the wrong idea. I grew up with these guys in Jacksonville and this was not Molly Hatchet. Dont get me wrong, I like the song, as well as "Stone In Your Heart", and if anyone could have pulled this off any better, I dont know who it would have been.Record company screwed up, Hatchet rolled with it the best they could and didnt do a bad job with it at all. DJB did look good and healthy in this video and thats so good to see. Thanks for posting this one.
Best song off this album but still not very good in Hatchet terms. Band hit their stride and peak in 79 unfotunatly. DJB looks good here but, never liked Riff headband West on Bass and the addition of keyboards to this band are absurd..video is way 1985 too..Oh My wish I had never seen this.
Good job. I liked the song. Danny is wearing his wedding finger on his pinkie must of been after he lost his wife but was still thinking of her. I heard Duane took his wife and that upset me. Looking good Danny as always. May you rest in peace and sing to all the angels up above.
This song is Molly Hatchet's attempt at pop\top 40 music. The keyboard, simple lyrics, it's all disposable crap. not at all like their original stuff.
PISS OFF! THEY WERE THE ONLY SOUTHERN ROCK ACT LEFT IN THE MID 80 s. THIS WAS ACTUALLY A RADIO HIT. THEY WERE TRYING TO PROGESS. WHEN WAS YOU LASTEST HIT? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!
Look folks... I'm a southern boy and will always be a HUGE fan of Molly Hatchet. HOWEVER listen to this song. The keyboard is what all 80's bands were doing at the time. Their first two albums are BY FAR their best work.
The proof is in their sales. When the lead singer got replaced it went downhill quickly. By the time Danny came back they lost their fan base. I love these guys as much as Lynyrd Skynyrd but they just aren't as good here as they once were.
I saw Molly Hatchet in February 2001 at the Greenwood Civic Center in South Carolina. They put on an awesome show. Brian Howe also appeared, plus some local bands also appeared. Overall, it was a good show, something Greenwood had not seen in a long time. Hopefully, they can get some more nationally known acts to come there. They have professional bullriding there every February on Presidents' Day weekend. Any acts reading this, consider putting G'wood on your list.
That video was out here a few weeks ago, I saw it. Apparently whoever put it out here either removed it or maybe You Tube took it out for whatever reason.
It sure is a good thing a Southern boogie-rock band featuring guys with long beards like Molly Hatchet wasn't paying too close attention to ZZ Top in 1984, because they might write a song like "Satisfied Man" - a song that sounds as if it actually WAS ZZ Top, right down to the production, chorus hooks and background synths.
Danny Joe is a legend. Molly Hatchet were a band of immense talent, with some of the best guitarists in rock n roll - period. I was amazed when they added keyboards, but equally amazed at what a great album they produced. I think this track has stood the test of time and is now a classic. RIP Danny and Duane.
