As a truck driver and former Long Haul Driver, I can't escape this song. For the record, my truck is governed..and I couldn't break the speed limit if I drove off a cliff. But, as a lifelong Punk rocker, I hear the lyrics strong and proud.
My first concert was Molly Hatchet back in the 70s. My friends and I left with a contact high and couldn’t hear for 3 days. One of the best times of my life!
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. There are several guitar players in the band. 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
Saw them in November of ‘78, opening for The Outlaws, at the Capitol, in Passaic NJ,.. a3200 seat venue. This was about a month before the album hit the stores, or got airplay, locally. AMAZING SET!
@@pjwiz5273 Sorry, these boys were from Jacksonville. I went to high school with Danny Brown....my sister with Bobby Ingram. Terry Parker High RIP Danny 🙏🏼❤️
Unfortunately none of the players on this album are alive in 2022. Rest In Peace Lead Vocalist Danny Joe Brown (d. 2005), Lead Guitarist Dave Hlubek (d. 2017), Lead Guitarist Duane Roland (d. 2006), Lead Guitarist Steve Holland (d. 2020), Bassist Banner Thomas (d. 2017), and Drummer Bruce Crump (d. 2015). Also later members Riff West (Bass ~ d. 2014), Jimmy Farrar (Lead Vocalist ~ d. 2018), Buzzy Meekins (Bass ~ d. 2015), and Phil McCormack (Lead Vocalist ~ d. 2019)
i knew when S.Holland passed he was the last in line and it broke my heart. I grew up with them and most of the music all these cats like Harribest react to and i am thankful and honored to have grown up with the greatest music ever created. Fact.
Ah, another great Southern Rock band from my home state of Florida. Jacksonville, to be precise. I saw them once. They were the opening act for The Kinks at the Sunrise Musical Theater in Sunrise, FL in October, 1981.
one of my all time favorite bands!!! Just something about a rock band with 3 guitar players and two drummers, just has wall of incredible sound! Another great choice! Their version of The Allman Brothers "Dreams(I'll Never See)" might be better than the original!!
Oh yeah Blondie! My southern roots just leaped for joy! I've seen Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws, and Pure Prairie League...and countless others up in good ol' Sturgis live at Full Throttle Saloon. All before the fire happened of course. My dad and I were huge bikers and made our annual treks to Sturgis. Molly H is the best live southern rock band ever! 3 guitarist and 2 drummers need I say more. Thanks Blondie, Harri needed the intro to the sensational Florida Southern Rock band that is Molly H! Glad you had fun Harri!
Saw Molly Hatchet in my freshman year in NM with some friends, it was my first summer of concerts, RUSH, VH, Scorpions and Molly Hatchet - I will never forget them playing this song and having seven or eight guys playing guitar and bass all swinging together in time as they jammed !!!
Just discovered this reaction Harri, one of my favorite Southern Rock bands! Yep, I was in my 1972 Plymouth Barracuda back in 85 while in high school, this sone & I look down & I’m running right around 90-100 mph! 😝
Saw them about 10 times in my life, starting with the first album in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Every gig was awesome. Most memorable was in Ft. Smith, Arkansas with MICHEAL BOLTON opening! We went to the local club after the show and they all showed up there for more music. My girlfriend at the time left me stranded to go eat at Dennys with MB. Cant blame her, but we were done after that.
Growing old ain't for sissies, but it beats the alternatives. It's been said that if you have memories of the 60's you weren't really there. Rejoice in the memories of the 70's and 80's as the statute of limitations have likely expired.
This is what used to be called DSM - dope smoking music. I saw them live in 1979 somewhere in Michigan, Central Mich U field house maybe. You got this one right, Harri. It’s a speeding ticket or worse! Enjoyed your reaction and commentary. Thank you.
Yep. Actually got 2 speeding tickets (15 years apart) while listening to this song. Song came on and my right foot responded by stomping on the gas pedal.
Blackfoot " train, train". I luv southern rock and I'm a northern New England 😀 🤙😎🤙🏍💪 This song extra special I won a wet T-SHIRT contest after Molly Hatchett concert at Daytona Beach. Yea baby!! Always flirting with disaster. 🤗🤙😆💯🇺🇸
Saw them live. Met the guitar artist when I used to sing in a southern rock band. I sang a hell of a lot of Molly hatchet , all southern rock about 15 years ago. Unfortunately I believe they are all deceased.😢 Now
When I was a young lad, I thought this was 'Ten Years After'? Hey, it was tough to hear the difference through car speakers in 1979. Especially, being stoned and all!?! Great road trip song.
Great tune! Check out Rossington Collins Band with Dale Krantz Rossington..ex Lynyrd Skynryd after the plane crash. Opportunity and Don't Miss Understand me. Great bluesy vocals and riffs!
@ 7:17, Nope, they really are that fast. A couple of professional musicians have told me, "If you ain't CLEAN, then you ain't FAST." Molly Hatchet meets and exceeds this criteria.
If you dig southern rock, check out The Outlaws, too. But Hatchet was worth the time and my allowance ... the part that dittn buy the lid of the week 😎😁
Since you seem to be exploring the Southern Rock/Country genre lately, I'd like to suggest a band from Macon Georgia. They were Wet Willie & the song is Keep On Smilin. There are so many great bands & songs in this genre. Tighten up the chin strap & be prepared to rock.
I know you don't know but that pic is a fake version of the band.I saw the real band at least twice once in Chapel Hill NC and once in a nightclub in their hometown of Jacksonville Florida.They were awesome both times.The pic you have is of current version with no members of the band that recorded their hits! T think you would like Dreams I'll Never See!
Please take a listen and react to Robbie Williams singing Angels live at Knebworth The crowd is huge and he is at his peak. An amazing performer.. If you think Queens crowds a big take a look at Robbie Williams at Knebworth.
That ain't just Southern Rock, that's a good ole Southern ass whoopin' administered by the Hatchet boys!!

NEVER stop any song during the guitar solo!!
Speed limits are a mere suggestion when this song is playing full blast windows down and flying down the road.
High-octane non-stop energy song.
My first concert was Molly Hatchet back in the 70s. My friends and I left with a contact high and couldn’t hear for 3 days. One of the best times of my life!
It was my second concert .My first was KISS 💋

Saw them in concert in 1979, they blew the roof off the place!
@David Miller - Me too. Fayetteville, NC. And yes, it was a hoot. UFO was the opener. 💥💥
Ditto ... yee-freekin-haw!!! Saw them that year in Tampa, their home town. They went on half the nite! God, I miss concerts!😁😎
Saw them in November of ‘78, opening for The Outlaws, at the Capitol, in Passaic NJ,.. a3200 seat venue. This was about a month before the album hit the stores, or got airplay, locally. AMAZING SET!
That is awesome, I wish I had seen them in concert. I know it was a legendary show.

"Dreams I'll Never See" begets "Flirtin with disaster"
Ah, another great Southern Rock band from my home state of Florida.
Jacksonville, to be precise.
I saw them once. They were the opening act for The Kinks at the Sunrise Musical Theater in Sunrise, FL in October, 1981.
Why only once , I have seen them 5 times across America. A great damn band ‼️
Kinks Low Budget tour! I saw Ian hunter warm up that tour!
I’m from Jax, actually went to FSU with Butch Truck’s son Vaylor. For a while, we had some great music.
I grew up in Orlando...1980...I was 13....this song made my days! and Rush also
You lucky bastard. Never had the chance to see them.
Hi Mr. Harri, All of Molly Hatchet Album Art is Great.. Music too.. ♠W.G.
My High School years. And yes...a few tickets were had while listening to this as max volume...and maybe a few beers.
one of my all time favorite bands!!! Just something about a rock band with 3 guitar players and two drummers, just has wall of incredible sound! Another great choice!
Their version of The Allman Brothers "Dreams(I'll Never See)" might be better than the original!!
Oh my gosh! My first professional job and my first new car!! I bought this cassette and played this song for MONTHS❤️
Southern Rock can't be beat!!!! One of the best SR groups!!
Great example of our southern rock
Savoy Brown "Hellbound Train" is obviously the next step. A must listen, they influenced this and a lot of classic southern rock.
Gator Country and Whiskey Man are two more really goo songs
Oh yeah Blondie! My southern roots just leaped for joy! I've seen Molly Hatchet, The Outlaws, and Pure Prairie League...and countless others up in good ol' Sturgis live at Full Throttle Saloon. All before the fire happened of course. My dad and I were huge bikers and made our annual treks to Sturgis. Molly H is the best live southern rock band ever! 3 guitarist and 2 drummers need I say more. Thanks Blondie, Harri needed the intro to the sensational Florida Southern Rock band that is Molly H! Glad you had fun Harri!
Sturgis was a blast
Teenage favorite Southern Rock music
Speaking of speeding tickets 🎫 I plead the 5th 😎👍🥃
Saw Molly Hatchet in my freshman year in NM with some friends, it was my first summer of concerts, RUSH, VH, Scorpions and Molly Hatchet - I will never forget them playing this song and having seven or eight guys playing guitar and bass all swinging together in time as they jammed !!!
The album cover art sez it all!
A Southern "Boys Are Back in Town" indeed...
Sort of a "Thick" Lizzy?
Just discovered this reaction Harri, one of my favorite Southern Rock bands! Yep, I was in my 1972 Plymouth Barracuda back in 85 while in high school, this sone & I look down & I’m running right around 90-100 mph! 😝
Gator Country is a good song from them. Long live Southern Rock 🤘✌️♥️
Class of '82 painted an 8 foot (meter) by 10 ft mural of the album cover in our High School library!
Jeez I would luvv to have seen that one. Had to be awesome, as was ALL their cover art.
They were so great.
Saw them about 10 times in my life, starting with the first album in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Every gig was awesome. Most memorable was in Ft. Smith, Arkansas with MICHEAL BOLTON opening! We went to the local club after the show and they all showed up there for more music. My girlfriend at the time left me stranded to go eat at Dennys with MB. Cant blame her, but we were done after that.
Saw them at a little bar/club in Canton MI right as they were taking off. Incredible show and they gave it everything. Just kicked ass.
So true! 100 miles per hour! FUN!
I'm feeling my age now lol
😋

Southern Rock doesn't disappoint

I still have their autographs from 1984..I love this band since the 70s.. listen to Gator Country..
Yep. Actually got 2 speeding tickets (15 years apart) while listening to this song. Song came on and my right foot responded by stomping on the gas pedal.
This song will definitely make you drive fast. Watch out for the po-po.
Blackfoot " train, train". I luv southern rock and I'm a northern New England 😀 🤙😎🤙🏍💪
This song extra special I won a wet T-SHIRT contest after Molly Hatchett concert at Daytona Beach. Yea baby!! Always flirting with disaster. 🤗🤙😆💯🇺🇸
AC\DC, Molly Hatchet, Satriani,
and Eric Johnson have gotten me busted a few times. 😂😂😂
Most if not all of their album covers were done by the great FRANK FRAZETTA. Awesone artwork
I liked this! Didn't expect to, but I did.
Literally used to be on every racing game.
Saw them live. Met the guitar artist when I used to sing in a southern rock band. I sang a hell of a lot of Molly hatchet , all southern rock about 15 years ago. Unfortunately I believe they are all deceased.😢 Now
One of my favorites by these guys!
One of my favorites ❤
Lucky for us its the real bands version and not those guys in your header photo 😂
When I was a young lad, I thought this was 'Ten Years After'? Hey, it was tough to hear the difference through car speakers in 1979. Especially, being stoned and all!?! Great road trip song.
"got the pedal to the floor, our lives are runnin' faster. got our sights set straight ahead but I ain't sure what we're after"
Definitely gotta do some live Molly ✌️
I agree, I tried to find a clear live version though they're amazing to watch live the sound wasn't great.
React to “Dreams I’ll Never See” or “Fall of the Peacemakers” by Molly Hatchet.
On top of their great southern rock catalog, probably the some of the best album cover artwork going.
Groovy tune
Thanks for your great reaction Harri. Southern Rock is a favorite music genre and this song is dangerous on the road as you mention. 🎶
Oops the blue lights been there... it's the music officer bahaa it worked for me
Brilliant driving song observation. Try Radar Love by Golden Earring. It’s the best driving song I’ve heard.
Every southern rock band from Florida had 3 guitar players. I think it was state law.
Check out Fall of the Peacemakers from these guys, it’s inspired by Martin Luther King and others.
A tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and John Lennon.
Another good one for doing 140mph in a convertible is Joe Satriani "Summer song" :)
Great tune! Check out Rossington Collins Band with Dale Krantz Rossington..ex Lynyrd Skynryd after the plane crash. Opportunity and Don't Miss Understand me. Great bluesy vocals and riffs!
@ 7:17, Nope, they really are that fast. A couple of professional musicians have told me, "If you ain't CLEAN, then you ain't FAST." Molly Hatchet meets and exceeds this criteria.
My first album 😎
Love your reaction ❤️

Listen to their song Fall of the Peacemakers!
Now that you mentioned it🤔 thin lizzy🤘although thin was okay, molly kicks their ass 100 fold. Only a handful of bands can pull off 3 lead guitars❤️
Embrace the risk
Lol,no doubt
😁
I know you don't know but that pic is a fake version of the band.I saw the real band at least twice once in Chapel Hill NC and once in a nightclub in their hometown of Jacksonville Florida.They were awesome both times.The pic you have is of current version with no members of the band that recorded their hits!

ASS KICKING SOUTHERN ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
Please take a listen and react to Robbie Williams singing Angels live at Knebworth The crowd is huge and he is at his peak. An amazing performer.. If you think Queens crowds a big take a look at Robbie Williams at Knebworth.
Always like your reaction but you shouldn't stop during guitar solo, can wait for comment
They cover the Rolling Stones songs BETTER than the Stones. Check out "It's All Over Now".
Never pause in the middle of the guitar solo..whats wrong with you man?
They kick ass
Rock it boys
