True words, and sound advice.

FACTS my brother

and know Jesus Christ!!

They haven't all passed away. John Galvin is the keyboard 🎹 player. He's still alive.

Absolutely know the Grace , Mercy , and Forgiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm very sorry for your losses as well my brother. ✝️👍♥️😀

82 for me same lineup Birmingham Alabama, BF opened.

​@@mrchilly3338it,'s t time to no nominate Molly hatchet to the rock and roll hall roll hall of fame!!😂😂❤😅❤

Was it in Knoxville? If so, I'll bet I was there too.

I saw Def Leppard in '81 open for Blackfoot who was headling

Hall of fame is a political operation ​@@user-ei2bd1en1h

They were great but Ronnie vanzant was legend

They never considered themselves a "southern rock" band. Just a hard rock band.

Dickie Betts said this band killed southern rock!

Me too, all.

great band no doubt but come on Lynyrd Skynyrd HANDS DOWN is the greatest Southr rock band ever and it's not even close.

John Glavin is the original keyboard player still touring with the band.

That's the great thing about being a musician..if you record any type of music, you live forever in a roundabout way. Those albums, songs and recorded live shows are there for eternity

I’m 63 learned all the songs 30 years ago. They were so good.

You got that right, seen them twice.

That's what made these musicians GREAT!!!!!!!🎸🎸🎸

It is ,time for young sheep up and take command and make 1norerow happen!!😂😅❤😂😅

I can relate...Saw them open for the Outlaws in Madison that October...A 2 hour road trip from Platteville to Madison and lots of consumption...Wish I hadn't been in such a haze. lol..I remember MH being totally badass...they all looked like they'd rather beat the shit out of the crowd then play for them..

I didn't know Steve had died too. When?

What the hell

It sucks I saw them 4 different times. Twice with the Outlaws and Stranger band. Those were easily my favorite shows! Long long time ago but never forgotten! Danny Joe will always be in the best category of Southern rock!

They all dead. They are together in the next life

RIP Steve Holland , Rock & Roll tonight Molly H

Time has flown by I can remember popping Molly Hatchet in my 8 track with the window down...

All before their time

Wow, didn't know these guys had such a sad story. I knew I liked em in H.S.(was a Freshman in '79). I was trying to quit booze and went to "The Channel" in Boston alone just to kill a night. Gonna estimate 88-89. "Who's playing tonight?."Molly Hatchet ". I said "No Shit, cool." ABSOLUTELY BLEW EVERYONE IN THAT JOINT INTO THEIR BOOGIE SHOES. TOTALLY PISSA (pardon my Boston). But this was just when Rock and Roll was taking the wrong turn at Depressoville. "Industrial Rock", Indie Rock, Grunge was ready to ice that horrible cake o'doom. These guys I think caught EVERYONE off guard (in a great way). One of the best live shows of the thousands I've seen. Sad stuff about personnel but at least they left an AWESOME legacy Fact!

Steve may be my favorite guitarist in the band. He plays with a lot of fire...like Allen Collins did. Great to see them playing with Marshalls behind them, too.

Good memories. I had an 8-track in my Buick Rivera!

That was the first time I saw them. Hatchet/Outlaws at MSG 1979.

At 61 I've seen most of the legendary bands and outlived a lot of them. It is kinda sad seeing the rock and roll stars of my youth dying off, but we all go. Enjoy the memories. I saw Hatchet in a high school gymnasium in the mountains of Kentucky, had Blackfoot open. Thankfully there's a lot of young guns working hard to keep rock and roll alive, but you won't hear them on the radio. Bunches of good bands still killing it down in the south. Check out Rock-N-Review on Facebook for some tips.

@@johnward9146 When I was 40 and my Dad was 65 he told me that one of the sad consequences of surviving was that so many of your friends haven't. By then I'd lost some good friends along the way and I thought I knew what he meant...21 years later I realize I had no idea how he felt. At 61, now I'm beginning to understand. IT seems that in 2019 and 2020 not a week goes by without getting sad news. It is the sad part about surviving. But like he said then and still does today, surviving beats the alternative.

Agree with all you’ve said , 19 in 79 , one of my all time favourite bands , 60 now sadly , DJB , and the boys RIP , , and thank you!

Man, I'm right there with you brother. I saw the original Hatchet a couple of times.

@@johnward9146 Hatchet and BlackFoot, damn good times right there..

HA! Duane and Dave were the talented ones. Producer Tom Werman said, Duane was the most talented out of the 3 and he was one of the most talented guitarists he ever worked with. He also, said, Holland was an ok guitarist.

So glad I saw them in '79. Duane was the business - RIP to all the guys

@@johnsmith-ug5tpIf you listen to the Harp Jam on the Live At The Agora CD, you can hear that all three of them could rip. I personally kinda agree with Werman's assessment in that Duane is my personal favorite of the three. However, in his case, I suspect that may be due to his personal preference as a producer, because Duane struck me as the most disciplined player of the three. His solos struck me as very structured and thought out, whereas the other two struck me as very good improvisers but maybe a bit lacking in restraint or finesse. Producers can definitely find the more disciplined players easier to work with in the studio, and Werman somehow strikes me as the type of producer who would prefer this.

He was their BEST frontman EVER👌👍

@FleslandAir With incredible vocals and awesome personality! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼. 🪓. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

Doug Wergrzynek damn straight brother

😂😂😂😂

In Early 1990, Huh?? If You Saw The Band with Bobby Ingram (Guitar) & John Galvin (Keyboards) Both Guys Have Never Have Been Original and Never Will Be Original Band Members No Matter what they Try To Claim Now. "Original" Bass Guitarist, Banner Thomas Left in 1982 Replaced By Riff West, "Original" band Co-Founder & Lead Guitarist, Steve Holland Left in 1984 Replaced By Keyboardist, John Galvin & "Original" Band Co-Founder & Lead Guitarist, Dave Hlubek Left in 1987, Replaced By Bobby Ingram.

Absolutely!!😁😁

I saw them live in Chicago, back in 1979. Molly Hatchet/UFO. Damn that was a hot show, I remember the Molly Hatchet guitar players tossing their guitars way up in the air, over and over, after every song. That was awesome. Danny Joe Brown was in his prime!

Saw these guys in a high school gymnasium in the mountains of Kentucky, Blackfoot opened.

Big part of my life too. DJB was the best.

Guitarmike., Truth and Ditto. ✌️🤜💥🤛

Me Too And I Am Drinkin Some Right Now.Saw Them Im Early 79 Opening Up For The Outlaws In San Rafael Ca.What A Show! Went To Work The Next Day With A Level 6 Hangover 2 Hours Late. Molly Hatchet RIP

They were personal friends of mine. All of them my big brothers. Was not and never was a groupie, please don't think that. I'll explain later. Tell you a little secret. Why Bruce played as well as he did. Something very few people knew about. Banner actually taught Bruce how to play the drums like he did. Believe it or not. He played yes , but Banner taught him how to the way they wanted him to play for their music. There wasn't a instrument Banner couldn't play and was good at them all. Yet another thing people didn't know. I actually know this because I knew the guys before Bruce joined the band. When I met them , Big Bob was actually their drummer then , who later became their sound man . Which he actually wanted to do instead. Who later also became the sound man for Eddie Van Halen. Something else people don't know about . He was the best in the business. Danny wasn't even a member then , that came a little time later . Which was their first time they played in a bar here in Jacksonville . When I met them , I was so innocent, Dave and the rest of them became very protective of me , and took me under their protection and considered me their little sister. That's your later information lol . Hope you enjoy this bit of knowledge most people aren't aware of . I miss them dearly. They were all really great guys in person. Oh and did you know most their security were in actually the Outlaws ? Yes. Due to Big Bob having actually ridden with them. His biker name was Little Bob due to someone else already having the name Big Bob lol and the man stood 6"4 and weighted 300 pounds And had a giant of a heart as he was. Just don't tick him off lol , my big brother body guard. Love them all. Hope you enjoyed this tib- bit of information. Now you have some info about them most people don't. And there's far more too people don't know about them. They know their music but not the men themselves. It's a shame really. Much respect.

Very cool! I met DJB and Duane on their tour bus in Columbus GA around 1990. Signed my Flirtin album (still have it). They were big dudes! Nice guys.

@@donnarivo7955 Cool! Thanks Donna. Loved these guys and still do. What a great time in music

@@goodguy4342 Your welcome. There's more but to much to put on here lol. Keep listening to them even now. Oh , never give Bobby any credit. He's not what he comes off as . And if not for Dave he wouldn't be where he is. He hurt the band more then helped it. That's a fact but can't go into it here. Much respect.

@@71rcode72 Happy you got to meet them. They were pretty special guys , all of them. Keep the album , it's now special at least as I'm concerned and keep enjoying it. Oh here's something for you. I was there when they wrote most of the songs. That was something to see them write them . They worked well together. The band isn't the same without them nor nearly as good. I'm sure you can tell the difference same as I do. There will never be another like them. Much respect.

I agree all the way. They're my personal Favorite Southern Rock band.

Same here ​@@SpaceVENTING
