I think the lineup is-- Phil McCormick: vocals Bobby Ingram: lead and rhythm guitars Bryan Bassett: lead and rhythm guitars John Galvin: keyboards Andy McKinney: bass Mac Crawford: drums, percussion Original lead singer Danny Joe Brown was in the middle of recording “Devil’s Canyon” with the band when he fell ill from a stroke, and Phil McCormick stepped in and took over as vocalist, harmonica and all. McCormick sounded so much like DJB that it’s hard to tell who was who on the album’s cuts. A few years later, Bryan Bassett took off and joined Foghat and Dave Hlubek returned to Molly Hatchet and stayed in the lineup until he passed away at the age of 66. Bobby Ingram hasn’t even bothered to recruit a second guitarist. He believes in hogging up all the solos. Story goes that Bobby Ingram invited Bruce Crump back to Molly Hatchet, but as a hired musician. Crump told Ingram to go pound sand. I get it about the changes in any band’s lineup, but the Molly Hatchet of today is a travesty of the Molly Hatchet of the 1970s. One guitar? Really? Bobby Ingram, you can do better than that! And one more thing: why was Jimmy Elkins let go? He was a pretty good vocalist. This guy you got as singer is not cutting the mustard. Guess I’m going to have to watch the Molly Hatchet videos on KZfaq to experience the real deal. I saw Molly Hatchet in 1993 at the Rocky Bayou Mullet Festival in Niceville, Florida when DJB was still singing in the band, and for two hours I was in Southern rock heaven. Joining him on bass that night was Buzzy Meekins. I’m never going to forget that night. It was fantastic. That’s the Molly Hatchet I’ll always remember and enjoy.

I had the pleasure of seeing the real Molly Hatchet 3 times in the 70's and 80's they earned my respect by putting on great shows! From a bar in Austin to the Main events in Portsmouth Va. Keep working at it new Hatchets, maybe one day yall will get close to how they performed.....

I was there. Great Concert.

I have autographs from the origional line up. they played at the MAD MONK in Wilmington NC. About 1984 'ish. Got to go back stage and watch them play. What a memory. Thank you for all the Great Music Molly Hatchet.

Great singer

@SOMERVILLELISA Bryan Bassett of Foghat on the right side...guitar. Awesome slide player.

Phil was pretty good but I'd go anywhere just to see Dave play the guitar 🎸

This may not be the original Molly Hatchet but it totally rocks!!!hec yeah!

Pretty good tribute band.

My friend Andy on the bass! Yeah Andy! Great video!

DJB had a voice that is very hard to copy but this guy does it decently

Bobby Hatchett band

"you've now entered the twilight zone"

They knew what they were there for HELL YEAH BROTHER 👍

Dolly Ratchet

@petefreda Didn't realize that. Saw them live in 1990 from pretty close to the front but couldn't tell that he was tall. Thanks for sharing.

@71unreal Danny was a friggin monster. Met him backstage. He towered over EVERYONE. Holy crap !

When did Dave Mustaine play for Hatchet?

Molly hatchet bounty hunter back in the day

If it's not Danny Joe Brown, it's "Molly Hatchet Karaoke Night".

This is like a 20 year old hammer that the handle has been replaced 4 times, and the head replaced twice.

Holly Matchet !!

Not one original member, I hate when bands do this shit. They sell the name to a backup guitar player and he tries to cash in on a few more years. I guess you can go hear some of the old songs live, is the only good thing.

Still touring now and all band members are in heaven .Think they’re called Hatchet Job 😂😂😂😂

Who the hell were those guys? Lol

Plees velcome Moley Hatchet!

Its really John Galvin with a bunch of ring ins.

These guys have to be wearing wigs. It is rare to see a man with such a cultivated 'do, especially when one is getting older, LOL.

Is that Don Dokken ?

Gee where the Black Knight gone?

That's Not Molly Hatchet. That's Mostly Hackedit

pleez elcome mollieatchet

Miss ol Danny Joe

Is that Michael McKean singing? :P

Bobby's Hatchet cover band?

I was there....awful...

Sadly all the original members died

LMAO!!

@leiefilm Just FYI... this is not the same front man that you heard in the 80's. This guy is Phil McCormick (or something like that) and the original lead singer was the late Danny Joe Brown. That's who you most likely heard; albeit you might also have heard Jimmy Farrar, who was the front man for a couple albums in the mid 1980's.

Not Danny Joe Brown Not Molly Hatchet. Case Closed

Without Danny Joe it's just a nice cover band.

@mendrugo7 this is the current singer, Danny Joe died in 2005

the lead guitar is Dave Hubeck who I beleive, and i may be wrong, replaced Bobby Ingram (sp?) he was given the trademark with balessings from the band.

@mendrugo7 hidden in his hair ;-)

its like the stones minus jagger, Zeppelin minus plant, queen minus mercury.....get it? and Jesus is that a fucking organ? since when did molly hatchety have an organ?

Danny Joe BBBBB: IS THE ONLY VOICE FOR HATCHETT

I am the bassist here

This is not Molly Hatchet!

Posiers

It's sad who ever these imposters are. The real band are all dead.is there no shame.this should be removed our of respect for them and southern rock.

Sounds good. Buts its worth a typical cover charge in the local bar because its a cover band…

Anyone notice Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws in this video sitting in??

hey come on, they're still tearing it up. good fun!

Danny Joe Brown would be proud great performance. Bring Molly Hatchet to Ontario

This is not Molly Hatchet...

Very bad Joke for this holly matchett...Saw the real band in Paris, 1979, a real badass band, but Bobby Ingram is far away of the real spirit of the southern rock guitar army. More than that, he's not a nice person. Not even a good cover band, no dynamic and inapropriate guitar sound.

What a joke! Just because you swindle the name, you are not Molly Hatchet!

Da Fuck?!!! Who.....WHAT is this?!!!

Who cares if they're the originals or not. this is great music. To fleischpudding etc, thanks for being sentimental,but line-ups don't last forever Stefmac UK

This is a horrible joke...This is not Molly Hatchet this is a cover band and not even a good one. Bobby ingram fucked over all fhe original members. He is a liar and a horrible person and has no right to keep this charade going. Beware if you are paying good money to see this band there will be no original members. Once in awhile the original guitarist Dave Hlubek will show up but very rare so check with the venue before you buy tickets.

Will Bobby, you have a ghost from the pass here. I know how you got to be with Hatchet. I've been friends with the original band members for years. Long before you came along. Ask Steve he'll tell you , I'm telling the truth. You apparently forgot how you came to be with Hatchet. Let me remind you. It was Dave who put you there. I also know the real reason why he left the band and how he put you in his place. See Bobby, I was around when Molly Hatchet signed their first contact , actually even long before then. I was around when Bruce join the band and Banner taught him how to play the drums , even before then. When Big Bob was playing in the band before he became their light man. Way back before they became famous. When they first started out on the bars here in Jacksonville. I'm a long time friend. I could tell you some stores. You were never apart of. So you maybe known for being with Hatchet now. Yes you've done good by the name I'll give you that. But you'll always play second best to the original members. No one , and I mean no one can ever take their place. Danny will always be the known singer for Hatchet , Dave the lead guitarist . ALWAYS. When people saw and heard the original members play , that's the band that will always be known as Molly Hatchet. You need to remember that. Something I think you forget at times. For it was because of Dave your were you are today. Never forget that or him. May he rest in peace. We miss you Danny and Dave. You will always be known Molly Hatchet. For it was you Dave who came up with the name. I remember you telling me the story behind it. Miss you both.

2'nd rate bar band………………….

More like a Hatchet tribute band. No original members.

not one original member in this lineup, unbelievable. totally fake cover band

When DJB died so did Molly Hatchet

These guys sound great, but no DJB, no Hatchet. No RVZ, no Skynyrd. Sorry.

Aweful.

This is pathetic. Only thing this band has to do with Molly Hatchet is they're playing one of Molly Hatchet's tunes.

Not even close, I've seen better tribute bands.

Worse than a bad tribute bar band. Nothing like the original. At least when Skynyrd restarted they had original members and Ronnie's Brother singing. This is worse than a poor mans imitation of Molly Hatchet. Maybe they should call themselves Poorly Matchet. Talentless........

This is legally molly hatchet. Get over it. As good as the original.

P. S. Bobby if you delete my message from before. Remember there's other sites I can go to. I'll tell the real story of how you because were you are with Molly Hatchet. And the truth behind the story of how the record company did Dave on the name of Molly Hatchet. I know the truth as I said before. I was there back then and know the truth behind it all. If it wasn't for what took place back then, you wouldn't be in the place you are now. There never would have been reason for you to be. This isn't that radio station interview you had that you had them hang up on me back then. This is the internet. The truth can still come out. I respect Dave to much to have you forget what he did for you. Are how you got were you are because of him. Think twice before you do something stupid. I can prove everything I have to say. Again as I said, ask Steve about me, he'll tell you I'm telling the truth. Sorry if I seem hard here, but the guys are all gone now but Steve. I won't allow you to forget what he did for you. You seem to do that and forget your place. You weren't Molly Hatchet to start with, only took the place Dave put you in . Which he did only for the band sake , no other reason. Which is why he taught you everything he knew to have you play like him. Oh I know , see , he himself told me about it. Never forget to respect him or those members before you. There wouldn't be a Molly Hatchet of it weren't for them.
