  • Lots of people outthere consider Hatchet a "Southern Metal" band . . . not too far off the mark. Bands like them, Blackfoot, Axe, Nantucket, even Mother's Finest on some of their early '80s stuff are as close to metal as you can get without actually being metal.

  • the guitarist is very similar to Lemmy jajajaja

  • @smscamp Farrar over Danny Jo? Whatever. Purists would break your jaw at that comment.

  • @jbjester1 I got the joke as well, but others did not as I remember such dishonesty being a critique that resulted in the fine music on the recording being ignored because of this.

    Sadly, similar fake Frazetta covers on subsequent MH recordings are also leading to this situation

  • @smscamp LOL!!! Facetious man !!! Its a funny! Just a little twist on the Frazetta! Relax!

  • I personally like Jimmy Farrar as he gave an edge/growl to MH that could have easily appealed to the heavy metal revival back then.

    The big problem was the dishonesty from MH's management such as the take no prisoners recording that featured them as muscleman on the cover, when they had a number of beer bellys

  • This is from American Bandstand, no doubt lipsynched, and to show how lack of knowledge Dick Clark's crew had about the band, they assummed the large crow at the back of the Beatin the Odds album cover was from a Molly Hatchet concert - no it was from a festival that MH was invited to play

  • Used to hang out with Jimmy Farrar's daughter in HS, I'm from Lagrange, GA also. The only notable musicians that town ever produced was Jimmy Farrar and Bubba Sparxxx....good thing we have Jimmy cause Bubba Sparxxx is fucking retarded.

  • molly hatchet 8 tracks were in my truck all through high school from 1979 to 1983...ha ha i saw this on Solid Gold the night it came out I always wanted a Hamer Explorer like Dave Hlubeck..! I loved his flame maple top explorer that one was awesome..! almost bought one used in a Guitar Center in Los Angeles back in the early 1990's but it got away..ha ha !

  • This looks to be from Solid Gold, late '80 or early '81. It's Jimmy Farrar on vocals. He sang on the Beatin' The Odds and Take No Prisoners albums in the early 80's. Saw this lineup live in Jan. '82, Jimmy did a good job. Those are both good albums.

    Duane Roland.

  • who's the badass with flying v?
