Freebird - Molly Hatchet - Double Trouble (Live, 1985)

[rivermandan9]

I love this cover of Freebird, it's one Jacksonville Fl bands tribute to another band from Jax. To say it's better than Skynyrd's is a stretch, especially the keyboards, nobody tickled the ivory like Billy Powell and just because you can play the tune doesn't mean you sound like Gary Rossington.

Love the Skynyrd version of course, but the overall sound and production makes this the best version ever in my opinion as well. Whenever I DJ I always play this when the song is requested and everyone is amazed how good it is

Did any of you lot see the original Skynyrd??? if you did you would never write anything so fucking stupid as this is better than the original!

[ggipolty]

In my opinion, this is much better than the original. I've seen both bands live many times.

[REDHILL67]

@ggipolty Molly Hatchet are the better band in my opinion!

[laceypacey]

Very Good cover. But I must disagree violently that it's better than Skynyrd.

[pineapplesurprise]

@laceypacey Agreed. I almost fell off this chair when i read that....

[HoleHeadedLiar]

@pineapplesurprise I agree. Although, DJB-era Molly Hatchet, is much better than any post-planecrash Skynyrd. (I call it Plastic Skynyrd...)
