I'm 63. This was the shit back in the day!! One of my top 10 favorite songs!! Great beat... great rhythm.... great lead guitars.... outstanding vocals!!! Check out the live version!
Me and my bass player used to cruise in his 69 chevelle with the Craig Powerplay 8-track wide open running down the backroads of southern IN.....puff puff pass...jamming to this.
When I was in High School (early 1980's), these guys were at the top of their game. One of the hardest Rockin' Southern Rock bands ever. VERY talented.
@@JimAsAuthor they were kick ass. I heard them for the first time in '77. What I didn't know was that they were playing gigs from 1970 until their record deal in the late 70's. Rock on!
Overshadowed by Skynard and the Allman Bro’s at the time .... Molly Hatchet and Black Oak Arkansas were right behind em kickin serious southern rock a**!
Actually their hits charted starting in '78, "Flirtin" in '79. The Skynyrd plane crash was in fall '77, so they didn't really headline tour at the same time. Skynyrd songs from Street Survivers (their last album with Ronnie) hit in '77-'78.
Had a 66 Chevelle SS396 4spd convertible back in the day... (they were inexpensive back then, lol) Cruising with my buds with mostly Southern ROCK cranked UP!!! Those were the days my friend... we thought they'd never end.
@@aliarshad3012 hell yeah! Just because there is no music these days, doesn't mean we have to listen to it! The old saying is, when I listen to Molly Hatchet, so do the neighbors!!! Rock.on bro!
Brother grew up and am still in the south. We slid trucks on a country back road to these sawngs. Beer 🍻 between our legs. Graduated 1979. This what we called southern rock.
@@rogernewcomb6756 it was a different time back in the 70's wasn't it? If you had a beef with somebody, you met in the parking lot of after school, then you became the best of friends. No school shootings, we respected our folks or they would take a belt to us lol! Civilization is supposed to get better as time goes on. WTH time are we living in? These days there's no music, no respect, no discipline, no nothing. Rock on bro'.
I'm 60 years old and I love watching your awakening to the music I grew up with. BTW if you're into art, the name of the artist on the flirtin with disaster LP is Frank Frazetta. You should check hiim out.
Killer band.. but currently the band has no original members.. all gone.. n Bobbie Ingram is now the only guitar player..from 3 to him sucks.. very disrespectful to the original members.. met Danny Joe Brown n has some wild turkey... peace
@@bobcurtsinger4561 Yeah saw a video of them year or so back......What a shame. Its was like a third rate cover band that should be playing at a VFW. They should have let the the name Molly Hatchet die with some grace. Now just a bunch of old hacks making beer money from it.
These boys are southern rock all the way. I met them back in 1990 when they came in the studio at 4am to lay down a few tracks then I played a little bit of drums with them plus at a local bar in Jacksonville FL. Some of the best southern rock you will ever get!! There are zero over dubes in their music what you see and hear is exactly what you get. Sadly the lead singer passed due to diabetes. RIP keep rockin in heaven brother
Yep, they were my LIVE GOAT for a time in the 80s. Just phenomenal live. Oft overlooked. One of the best southern Rock bands ever, arguably the best 80s southern rock band.
This song was released in 79. I went to the black and blue concert in 1980 Molly Hatchet was headlining for Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath. We were down front literally about 10 ft from one of the walls of speakers. We're talking a wall! All three bands had combined their sound systems. It was in an outside baseball stadium and the music was LOUD!!! Too loud for being that close. So after ogling the band up close for a few minutes. We moved off the infield and then to the bleachers just three rows back. My whole day was a party atmosphere with everyone walking around and taking tokes.😉 After Blue Oyster Cult Black Sabbath was almost finished with they're for formance. A mass of monsoon blew in fast Black Sabbath was playing Black Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Despite the lightning striking everywhere in the wall of dust about to hit Sabbath didn't quit playing. I don't believe they seen it coming their back was to it and there was a wall of speakers behind them as well. But all of us watching did there was a stampede for cover. we brought a tarp just in case it was that time of year so our group of 9 just sat there. As the Winds of over 80 mph hit the wall of speakers in the sound mixing stage one of the Wall of speakers we were standing next to blew over. there were some injuries but no one got killed. Of course Sabbath was running off stage. As they were calling for everyone to settle down and quit panicking they told everyone to keep their ticket stubs they were coming back. And they did. A few months later we seen the concert all over again. 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
My favorite group just out of high school! They were always awesome in concert saw them 5 times from 80 to 86. They did have 3 platinum albums, this one which was their 2nd release, their self titled debut album (Molly Hatchet) and Beatin the Odds. Every song on the 1st 2 are all GREAT. You won't regret diving down this rabbit hole!
Bro. your just began a journey. These guys came out of Jacksonville in the late 70's. Their debut album came out in 78 I believe. Of course J'ville is also home to Skynyrd. Unfortunately all the original members of Molly Hatchet have slipped off this mortal coil,(RIP). This is off of their second album. Just about any song off of their first two outings is fire 🔥. So if I could recommend one of their tunes it would be "Fall of the Peacemakers", not certain which album their 4th or 5th outing I believe, shouldn't be to difficult to find. Anyway happy to have you back! Peace out! 💯🎸🔥🇺🇸😎
Apparently you really love this style of rock so you should definitely check out The Outlaws. Their biggest song is Green Grass and High Tides. You'd love it!
The Outlaws 1st album is the most over the top Guitar playing album I have ever heard. Im actually going to see them this weekend in NJ. Not very original by very very good.Thank you Henry Paul for holding it together.
Back in '85 and '86 I was lead guitarist for a band out in Monterey, California, and we covered this song. It was our most requested song and we killed it. Really enjoyed your reaction to it! Check out more Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot too.
Been listening to molly for 40 years, I love all the Danny joe brown songs but recently discovered some other great songs. Sailor, the journey, devil’s canyon. They are a tight band you really can’t go wrong with any of there stuff.
Molly Hatchet (78 to 89) is my favorite band of all time. Flirtin (1979) was their biggest hit. They would usually pin you to the wall and keep you there the entire song. Other favorites from them : Dreams I'll Never See, Beatin the Odds, Bounty Hunter and Fall of the Peacemakers
I seen them in 1980 also at the black and blue concert. But they were headlining for Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath. Sabbath was last and was close to finish when a AZ. monsoon rolled in. They came back and gave us another concert for free a few months later.
In the mid-70's, I saw them 3 times in concert. Life-Changing...seeing 3-Mule guitars playing this song and many others! I am glad you got the chance to hear it. Danny Joe Brown was THEE singer and Molly Hatchet has style! this song is one of my favorites to play on my 6-string and I hit that tone-toggle and get both sounds just like this from 4 minute mark to 4:20 on your counter!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I cry every time I hear this, bringing back those memories as a teenager, Witness to Great Rock'an Roll...and still cutting strings.
I grew up with this tune on the radio all thru the early 80s. Watching you rocking out had me rocking out hard. Genres and categories aside, THIS is an epic song any way you slice it.
It's so cool watching people listen to what I grew up with. My brother and I loved in NY, on long Island and hatchet toured there A LOT. My brother saw many more shows than I did and ended up on the bus many times at the end of the night. They were a tight band
I've seen them play in little back road bars,seen them biker events, seen them play at Tampa Stadium. This band is so down to earth, they go out and talk and mingle.
Like the other boomers here, I'm 61. This was an absolute favorite band back in the day. I even have a Frazzetta tattoo of the first album cover that I got when it came out.
Thank you for posting thank you thank you love this song so cool to hear it again. They're coming in concert next month in New Mexico I think we'll go!
Why have you never heard of them before? Because they never had a songs as great as this one. This song just takes off like a bottle rocket and never lets up. I think it is the perfect, quintessential Southern rocker.
Another great group out of Jacksonville, FL.. These guys featured three lead guitarist on this particular song, which is why there is a three part harmony at the end of the lead break. But if yo listen carefully, you can hear that all three shared in the break because there are three different sounding guitars before the three part harmony starts. What a power-packed number, which I’m sure has caused a many a person to get a speeding ticket. LOL.
PlayStation Nascar 1997..... We had game nights were we had teams of 2vs2 .....who ever was in front on team would eventually use my team mate to block or push. Of course I would reverse the roll for me team mate. One of the reasons why I loved "Talladega Nights" . Ricky Bobby!!! oh ya, i went there.
Love this song!! Amazing energy, drive, skill!! Gotta be careful if it’s on the radio when I’m driving… or I’ll be going 100 mph in no time!!! Whoohoo!! Great reaction!! Glad you discovered it
Can I say this? Great fuggin choice! Keep looking, man, loads more out there. Rory Gallagher, Johnnie Winter, Blackfoot, Angel city, Rose Tattoo, so many older bands that we're glad you discovered. Keep kicking it, friend
I loved watching the expressions on your face! It looked like me at the Boston Garden around 1981 when I saw them with the Outlaws. Damn I miss Southern gritty music with BALLS.
I didn't know who D. Mont The Genius was prior to watching this reaction to one of my favorite songs, but I sure know now!!! I salute you, brotha! Molly Hatchet are the real underdog Southern Rock MVPs, ferreal!!!!
It came out between 78 and 80. They recorded it 2 miles from where I lived. I used to see their tour bus all the time between Orlando and Apopka at a biker bar.
The album art is an original FRank Frazetta painting. Check out his bio, "PAinting With Fire"...an amazing man. Had a stroke, lost control of the right side of his body, taught himself to paint left-handed --- and improved.
En el verano practicamente toda la gente estaba obsesionada con esa rolaza era tan solo una niña, recuerdo cuando la bailaba con mis amigos en las fiestas de fin de curso del colegio, este año cumplo 30 y miro atrás esos momentos tan preciosos 🥰💕
I seen Them live it's something when you see the whole band like 6 members on stage all playing guitars in unison for their oncore except the drummer . And if my mind serves me right its this song was their oncore..
Molly Hatchet was listed at one time as one of the top 5 bands in the world . Would have loved if they had re-done Beatin the Odds and Take No Prisoners with Danny Joe.
👍 That they did. I grew up on the Sandredo Ranch (1800 ac.) in Prescott throughout the 60's early 70's. It's now a subdivision and strip mall. ☹️ Seen them headline at the black and blue concert in 1980 at Phoenix Municipal baseball stadium. We use to sit on top of competition Hill at the river blasting this song too everyone floating by. My how everything is changed there. I still fly into my ranch between Heber and Black Canyon Lake. But rarely fly down too the valley anymore. 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
This song lead to two speeding tickets in my almost 40 years of driving. (I've only had four). Song comes on and my right foot just wants to push the pedal harder...
No.....you dont sound like an idiot cause we too back in the day were floored when we first heard it. This is what talent.....along with a few striving band members with a passion can produce. There just simply was no short cut methods or gagitry to compensate for lackluster skills.. The bands back when were fixated on producing quality music in every since of the term. Obsessed with their sound! This is why such dated music from 45 - 50 years and more can still influence and surprise. One wrong move on those strings or drums ect. and the recording starts all over again. The trick back then was to be so good ya kept mistakes to a rare minimum....... which was no trick at all but rather the will and desire to be all that! Great reaction!
I met some guys from Florida Tim Wiggins and Jack Keesy in Marines and the tuned me in to these guys i grew up in Michigan not much sothern rock was up there in 69s and 70s . Southern rock loves their 3 guitars in their bands . Ive seen them probably more than any other band , to go with Skynerd , and the Outlaws glad i seen tbem all
Now you know why people born in the 50's and 60's consider today's popular music like watching paint dry sitting at a bus stop.
😂🤣😂 Oh sh\t @maxbrazil3712........that is the most true statement that I have seen on YT in a very long time. 👌
Great music still out there but you got to look for it. They don't play it on the radio.
Today's music is nothing but Disney Catalog Digital crapola :)
@@maxbrazil3712 that's the best I've ever heard it put!

I'm 63. This was the shit back in the day!! One of my top 10 favorite songs!! Great beat... great rhythm.... great lead guitars.... outstanding vocals!!! Check out the live version!
It wasn't a keggar without Molly Hatchet playing somewhere...on an 8 track...miss those days...Rock On!
I'm 63 also! Loved Molly Hatchett! I feel like our age group had the very best music!! We were blessed!!!
Yes it was the shit friend. Good times back then.👍👍👍

70 years old introduced my granddaughter 24 years old music from 50s,- 80’s she didn’t know, she is impressed
The " Death Dealer" of his was awesome. I used that for inspiration on the hood of my old mustang years ago
Fair warning, if you listen to this out on the highway, there's a more than decent chance you'll get a speeding ticket
Always a good day when someone new discovers Danny Joe Brown and the boys !!!!
I was lucky enough to get his autograph back in the late 80's so love them and so glad I got to see them play.
One of the greatest orchestrated Rock Songs ever. Creativity off the charts.
Triple guitar attack. They were a MONSTER live band.
Yes they were.......glad i got to seem them in 82
Killer band.. but currently the band has no original members.. all gone.. n Bobbie Ingram is now the only guitar player..from 3 to him sucks.. very disrespectful to the original members.. met Danny Joe Brown n has some wild turkey... peace

Such a great song! have to watch the speedometer when this comes on though, i'm sure this song has caused a ton of speeding tickets over the years
Wish I could say " I've NO idea what you're talking about!" 😳
Lmao
Lmao Truth
lol
You ain’t lying
MOLLY HATCHETT, "FLIRTING WITH DISASTER"... SOUTHERN ROCK AT IT'S BEST BABY...
Bruce Crump (RIP) from Memphis, Tennessee is the drummer. He was the grandson of the former mayor of Memphis, Boss Crump.
Dude, Molly Hatchet was awesome. In 1978, I was a Junior in HS and this was huge!

Years ago I saw Molly Hatchet…they were the warm up band for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I saw them on tour for this album in the summer of 1980. It was great. Blackfoot opened for them.

This album was released in 1983
Drew this album cover on my high-school notebook!!.. Whole album is top-notch.. "Boogie No More" best!!
Love love love watching young being exposed to this for the first time!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Possibly the best ending to any rock song ....ever.
it was from 1979 you need to hear there 1st album also and they were very popular back in the day
My favorite by them. They have many, but Flirting just kicks ass.
I saw them in concert in the 80s. Omg it was great.
PlayStation Nascar 1997..... We had game nights were we had teams of 2vs2 .....who ever was in front on team would eventually use my team mate to block or push. Of course I would reverse the roll for me team mate. One of the reasons why I loved "Talladega Nights" .
Ricky Bobby!!!
oh ya, i went there.
If you’re not first, you’re last! lol
If you had this song playing and your car tuned just right, you were for sure to win the race in that game!!
Love this song!! Amazing energy, drive, skill!! Gotta be careful if it’s on the radio when I’m driving… or I’ll be going 100 mph in no time!!! Whoohoo!! Great reaction!! Glad you discovered it
Can I say this? Great fuggin choice! Keep looking, man, loads more out there. Rory Gallagher, Johnnie Winter, Blackfoot, Angel city, Rose Tattoo, so many older bands that we're glad you discovered. Keep kicking it, friend
A song that's a fantastic blast from the past...superb!!!❤🤗🤗😎
Big smile watching D Mont rockin out. I was born in 57...graduated in 75. We had 100s of great bands and concerts like that in the 70s-80s
This was on my road trip mix tape back in the eighties.
That song will wake you up. Love some molly hatchet. 😁
Bring all my mules out here and kickem one time (Solo)

Absolutely love your reaction… head bobbing… big smile….. rockin it out to some southern rock! Welcome aboard my friend!!!!
Man, gets my blood up!!! Always loved this bad!! Grew up in it!! Late 70’s, hard hittin Southern Rock!!👍thank you for this one!!
It came out between 78 and 80. They recorded it 2 miles from where I lived. I used to see their tour bus all the time between Orlando and Apopka at a biker bar.
You picked a good one , album art is so awesome,shame we don’t have it today
Nascar '98 on the PS1 is the first thing i think of when i hear this song. EVERY TIME. So good.

Sooooo refreshing to see someone of a younger generation enjoying the music of my youth... Thank you!
That grin on my face when I know the guitar instrumental is coming up.
I LOVE SOUTHERN ROCK. GOD BLESS DIXIE!
I love the lyrics because anyone and everyone can relate..." We are all flirting with disaster every day"
70 years old and still lovin this music !!
Man i got so much joy watching you groove brother. This was the stuff I grew up in.
I saw them do this when it first came out at "The Warehouse" in New Orleans. I met Danny Joe Brown, the singer, in Mandeville, La.
Molly Hatchet ruled growing up in Az through the mid 70s-80's. Youngins...
👍 That they did. I grew up on the Sandredo Ranch (1800 ac.) in Prescott throughout the 60's early 70's. It's now a subdivision and strip mall. ☹️ Seen them headline at the black and blue concert in 1980 at Phoenix Municipal baseball stadium. We use to sit on top of competition Hill at the river blasting this song too everyone floating by.
My how everything is changed there. I still fly into my ranch between Heber and Black Canyon Lake. But rarely fly down too the valley anymore.
🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
I just love it when a young person gets to hear what real music was like
The opening drum fill with 16th notes on the hi-hat is awesome. The placement of the open hi-hats took me a while to learn back in the 80's.
I’m 69 years old and that’s my one all-time favorite bands every time I play that song while I’m driving my pick up runs better
Genuine first impression...love it.
This song lead to two speeding tickets in my almost 40 years of driving. (I've only had four). Song comes on and my right foot just wants to push the pedal harder...
No.....you dont sound like an idiot cause we too back in the day were floored when we first heard it. This is what talent.....along with a few striving band members with a passion can produce. There just simply was no short cut methods or gagitry to compensate for lackluster skills.. The bands back when were fixated on producing quality music in every since of the term. Obsessed with their sound! This is why such dated music from 45 - 50 years and more can still influence and surprise. One wrong move on those strings or drums ect. and the recording starts all over again. The trick back then was to be so good ya kept mistakes to a rare minimum....... which was no trick at all but rather the will and desire to be all that!
Great reaction!
The South knows how to rock!! Love Molly Hatchet! Hope you can react to some more southern bands!! BTW, they are awesome in concert.
Back in the late 70s i always had this in the 8track player in my pro stocked 76 Oldsmobile. I saw them in concert several time
Everyone talks about the guitar, the drummer is freaking amazing!!
I loved your reaction to this iconic banger! Sign me up and waiting to watch more from you! Many thanks!
The 70’s were just magical. There was this raw explosion of talent.
I met some guys from Florida Tim Wiggins and Jack Keesy in Marines and the tuned me in to these guys i grew up in Michigan not much sothern rock was up there in 69s and 70s . Southern rock loves their 3 guitars in their bands . Ive seen them probably more than any other band , to go with Skynerd , and the Outlaws glad i seen tbem all
this is great 80's boogie hard rock vibe! cool reaction, as always.
RIP, Danny Joe Brown!
