Free Bird Covered By Molly Hatchet With Charlie Daniel's

[joezjoezjoez1]

cool

[iwasdoinit]

Why the question mark kev?

[rattlinurcage3]

Its too bad this isnt Danny Joe Brown !! The voice of Molly Hatchet !!

[kountryrocks]

Freebird is the GREATEST rock song ever!!!! This SONG is PLAYED in EVERY bar across this country by ROCK bands daily. This song shows off your guitar talent like no other. And HOW true are the words? Oh how I wish I could write such a song!

[jackarrowood]

It's a shame when people claim to be such great fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd and can't even spell it! This is a great cover, but no one can sing it like Ronnie, not even Johnny!!

[keven11224]

sorry billy powel is dead,?

[SeanieMCash]

@keven11224 ya man died earlier this year

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

I got this album. It is really good.

[nehocyrrah]

I could think of no better bands to honor this song!!!!!! great

[wrtausy]

nice cover, but no one can replace the original!

[artyleasure]

@wrtausy you are absolutly right.there will never be another ronnie

[wrtausy]

@artyleasure and also my favorite guitarist Allen Collins.., without him the this song will never been born!!

[artyleasure]

@wrtausy i like how he really gets into the music,if you notice his eyes are usually shut when freebird was played and he starts rocking left and right

[wrtausy]

@artyleasure i noticed that too.. :)

[artyleasure]

@wrtausy so,gary rossington is the only original member left,right;well ricky medlocke,but he wasn't one of the very first

[VendettaMax]

@artyleasure remember ed king? the one who wrote the world famous riff to sweet home alabama, he's alive. so gary and ed are the two original members left.

[Narutology]

"Or can be got off itunes"

You're an idiot.

[LegiitCashew]

Best Free Bird cover hands down. This is the only thing that can touch Skynyrd's.

[96renegademan]

DAMN! that is better than skynyrd almost

[bluesguitarist93]

my only complaint is the vocals to much vibrato

[Xanaseb]

@martinduffyuk couldnt get tickets! ur lucky

[PyhaMikrofoni]

the name Lynyrd Skynyrd comes from their P.E. teacher Leonard Skinner

[HaroldAbel]

I've been a Skynyrd fan sense day one and I've never heard a band cover Free Bird as well. But then again molly Hatchet has always been right up there with the greats

[superMOPAR540]

nobody does it quite like skynyrd, but i'll be dammed if they didn't come real close.

[jeffpace60]

Good cover!

[nobody41584]

i just seen these guys last night preform at hotel i work at they put on one hell of show. they ended with this song the place blew up. great cover

[waddlesgee3]

its spelled lynyrd skynyrd

[manofthebrush]

OK this is not the original Lynard Synard, but I think it is fantastic. It is a tribute to Lynard Synard and is music to this man's ears. Any band would be grateful for a tribute by these bands as wonderful as they are in their on right.

Thank you C.D.B. and M.H. And thank I think you for posting this tribute.

[LordOfThisWorld74]

saw them live not long ago and they played this... this song is over played but they NAILED it and then some. I really liked their version

[ROCPALMER]

This is too perfect, It lacks the true L. S. feel. Imo there will never be anything close to the original Molly Hatchet, what they created musically will never be matched. R.I.P. !!

[makehimanoffer]

This is insanely high quality

[cochise1100]

i agree, joltingbeam. they came thru here OPENING for kid rock! nothing against K>R>, but this was a band that blew the stones off the stage by Mick Jaggers own admission,

[korteman194]

not a bad version, but the version on their double trouble live REALLY ROCKS!!!!

[otey123]

yes it most certainly does!!! best version ever.

[ryanmedic789]

HELL YEAH, excellent excellent job Charlie and Molly!!!

[Cracklesmith]

this is a bad ass cover

F.T.W.

[kenhackney]

As Charlie Daniels said at Ronnie's funeral: "Fly on proud bird, You're free at last!" I wish this for all the free birds from Lynyrd Skynyrd who are no longer with us.

[detroitchuckie]

Wish in one hand, and shit in the other...see which one fills up first. The Skynyrd touring now is a joke.

[stylinnprofylin]

Ronnie would like this no doubt about it.

[heyhowami]

ronnie said molly hatchet was the new skynyrd. thats why he let them use there recording equipment.

[stylinnprofylin]

Yeah Ronnie was all set to produce their first album,i think he helped them a great deal to get started,and i may be wrong but i think he also helped 38 special a great deal as well.

[heyhowami]

yes donnie van zant helped too. well im going to a skynyrd concert sometime this semester. because i think it might be there last tour. judy (ronnies wife) said shed shutdown the band if there werent more than 2 original band members in the band and now that billys dead that only leaves gary rossengton. i hope its not there last but just incase im going.

[stylinnprofylin]

Doesn`t Gary Rossington own the band now or at least a share of it,i didn`t think Judy had that much say in the band at the end of the day i could agree with her if Gary wasn`t there or if Johnny decided to call it quits but i think as long as Gary and Johnny are there it should continue.

[Southernborn761]

It was the rule of 3 original member for the band to keep touring as Skynyrd. I dont know if it was made up before or after the crash. But i only see 1 original member on the road with the tribute band. I Saw Ronnie fronting "HIS" band and this is not even in the same state as they were... Rock on Charlie & Rip DJB & DR

[heyhowami]

wow i know charlie and danny joe brown. who is DR?

[Southernborn761]

Sorry DR = Duane Roland (December 3, 1953 - June 19, 2006) was a guitarist for the rock band Molly Hatchet. another note. when i said this is not even close. I was referring to the Original Lynyrd Skynyrd band and them on the road today as the LS band. Charlie and Hatchet did a great job here!!!!

[joltingbeam]

Ricky Medlocke is technically considered an original member since he played drums for them on the Muscle Shoals album. In my opinion the new Skynyrd should be shut down. They dont have the right to call themselves Lynyrd Skynyrd and write their own original music. After the plane crash the band promised Judy they wouldnt come back under the name Lynyrd Skynyrd. When they did she sued them and they settled out of court. I dont think she has a say in th eband at all anymore.

[Southernborn761]

Oh make NO MISTAKE.... Judy has total control over the name and the muzic. She may have made a deal for them to use it. But sell I would say never in a milion years. Yes she can shut this dog and pony show down when she is ready.. The question is. Is she ready to shut it down as people like me will never buy the muzic these guys make. Let them or other's come out every so often for a tribute to then. this is a disgrace to Ronnie and the Boys and the Honkett's. why didnt they go into the hall?

[ChuckMullis]

You have no idea what the fuck your talkin' about !!!!!!!

[ghigueruela]

Great cover. Awesome job. Ronnie would be proud...

[wwerules5555]

awesome great job

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

The video response, you'll be pleasantly suprised. And just might get radiation poisoning.

[ericgrave]

i much prefer skynyrds :) to be honest :D but this is such a good cover!! No one could ever get it this exact.

[thesaxguy31]

excellent just as good as the original.guitar licks right on the money.huge skynyrd,molly hatchet,and charlie daniels fan.southern rock rules

[kellyburke5150]

very cool.

[dixiebelle913]

Awesome guitar playing on this really nice cover. Thanks for posting it.

[amdigiovanni]

this is a great remake

[Koz07]

This is Very COOL. No hate or disrespect intended in my posts, however, for the most part, Southern Rock is somewhat like the old South itself, gone but not forgotten. Like Hank Williams Jr. said, "Might even be better off". Peace Koz07.

[lorileeslove]

man i get a chill up my spine! this is a tear jerker!

[bonskidroses]

I agree with you 100%!!!

Awesome cover by the way!!!

[RodneyRix]

I't's the first time I've heard this. Thanks for posting it

[gtrmoles]

EXCELENT!!

[Southernborn761]

Well Damn Old Charlie Daniels and Molly Hatchett are sure tearing this up in a good way. them guitar solo's are kinda right on.. But then again when paying Homage to yer friends you want it to be right on!!!!!! I don't really think this is about what is bettah. But that was damn good. Wondering how many time's CD played this with ronnie and the boy's. probably many time's....... Ronnie produced MH first album and got them going in the right direction

[zzflowtsohgzz]

thank-you for posting this!

[blrrosenberg]

original's better

[missingremote]

Lynyrd skynyds version is happy-better. I like both their studio and concerto version Gerorgia, USA in 1976. If you know Charlie Daniels / you undrestand this sacred copy is just as good however.

[missingremote]

+he any relation to colon powell? Riffs sound just like Molly Hatchet. guitar wails

[blrrosenberg]

lynyrd skynyrd member

[SeanieMCash]

im sorry to anounce that the death of billy powell has occured!! may he rest in peace! :( :(

[Pooc0]

Incredibly cool cover! Gotta love Molly Hatchet!

[Kokushi666]

too bad few people would know them and the outlaws ect if it whernt for rockband and gh but then i guess its good exposure

[ThorogoodFan1]

Is this song available commercially?

[ThorogoodFan1]

I love Molly Hatchet-this is friggin' unreal.

I always wanted to see this double bill:

George Thorogood/Molly Hatchet!!

Back in the '80s/Early '90s these two bands would blow the place apart!!

[pictureshows2]

Standup, remove your hat and place your hand over your heart. Their playing the National Anthem.

[ROCKDOG5732]

We listen to this as the news of Lynyrd Skynrd loses anouther comrad, BillyPowell

We will miss you Billy Powell R.I.P.

[lordsyed]

Is charlie singing this?

[SeanieMCash]

yes

[DoorGunnerNam67]

I'm not usually one for cover songs but this one's damn good! Of course thats probably due to the bands!

[ROCKDOG5732]

I would agree. I mean come on its Charlie Danials and Molly Hatchet. Southern Rock at its best. As you might know Lynyrd Skynyrd lost anouther comrad R.I.P. Billy Powell.

[z75sportster]

i have seen molly and skynyrd many time. well jonnys take over in 87.but I also agree. molly hatchet nailed free bird. better then anyone ever. not bad for the band people back in the day said . molly .could never get er done..in skynyrds own music.. south florida! you guys were wrong.. rock on molly hatchet.love you guys..

[dkl38]

GREAT cover, one of the best ive heard. too bad the traveling tribute band that calls themselves skynyrd slaughters this song the way they do. is that danny joe singing after the piano solo? cause i swear it sounds alot like donnie vanzant. if anyone knows, please tell. RIP- RVZ, DJB, Allen Collins, Duane Roland, Steve and Cassie Gaines, and Leon "The Mad Hatter" Wilkeson. yall are missed more than you could ever imagine

[Doxem]

cant believe the guitar

[yimmye1]

saw hatchet in 87 at newport music hall in columbus ohio.(one of many times).. They blew me away with a blistering rendition of freebird.. they were in top form that night...miss ya danny joe

[Vannorius]

The Double Trouble Live version is IMAO, even better than Skynyrd's live version!

[beastmodebob]

[wweandy619]

[musicman102102]
