Always been partial to "Gator Country" myself. Kinda their F.U. to the rest of the Southern Rock clan at the time. But gotta say I still blast "Bounty Hunter" too. Shame is my niece and nephew only know them from like Rock Band or Guitar Hero or one of those damn games and then its only their biggest song "Flirtin With Disaster"! Oh, this generation is missing out on real music and we can all thank MTV and Clear Flannel for that.

I remember buying a Molly Hatchet ticket just because their album cover art was cool. It was money well spent, those guys could play and it was my first taste of Southern fried rock.

Molly Hatchet had all Peavey gear too. I thought it was strange a rock and roll band would use what I thought was a country western brand. In the early 80's where I lived if you drank Coors beer and had a Peavey amp, you wore a cowboy hat and chewed straw.

First rock show I ever went to, 1980, I think....

My mother dragged me to a Manilow show in about '76 or so, but I don't like to talk about that.... ;)

Hell yeah kick ass. I love me some Molly. I saw them back in the day as well. Kick ass although you have to wonder just how many guitars you need in a band.

I love Molly Hatchet, at least when Danny Joe Brown was singing. When he left after Flirtin, i didn't care for Beatin the Odds or the next one. When Danny Joe came back for No Guts No Glory they picked right up where they left off. Good stuff.
This leads me to a question. For Molly Hatchet's 1989 album Lightning Strikes, they did a cover of Hide Your Heart by Paul Stanley and Demond Child. That same year, Ace did it on his Trouble Walkin' cd. I think Kiss recorded later. A lot of people pointed out at the time that if Ace was doing that song, then his relationship with Kiss must not be as strained as it once was, pointing to a possible reunion which eventually did happen. My question is how the hell did Molly Hatchet end up recording that song the same year Ace did?

These songwriters have people that actively shill their tunes to other artists or record companies, in order to make some fairly lucrative bucks. This is why you'll hear Aerosmith doing some astoundingly crappy song for a movie, and then it winds up on some country singer's album 4 months later. As I recall, "Hide Your Heart" was pitched by A&R people to a bunch of people. Hell, even Bonnie Tyler wound up doing a version of it a year earlier, in 1988.

No shit. I had no clue Bonnie Tyler had done a version previous to any of that. What a trip.
