Zero Original Members! Bad M.H. Cover Band!!!
by JerseyRocker4Life on 9/8/14Bergen Performing Arts Center - EnglewoodI was not simply disappointed, but truly offended by this show. I was very excited to see Molly Hatchet. I have their first five records and love them all. Perhaps I should have done my homework on the current band lineup, but hindsight is 20/20. When the band took the stage I thought that they were another opener because I didn't recognize and of the players. After speaking with the couple next to me, I found out that there was nobody from those first five albums on the stage. The singer was terrible and the entire band was completely out of shape and performed like they were exhausted and lost. I think that it was wrong for this band to mislead the public and call themselves Molly Hatchet. Maybe if they called themselves the "New Molly Hatchet" of something, then fans could decide if they wanted to pay to see these guys or not. I feel that it was completely dishonest for them to call themselves Molly Hatchet when there was not a single member from the band that made any of the records that are known by the Molly Hatchtet fan base - that is: "Molly Hatchet (self-titled); "Flirtin' With Disaster"; "Beatin' the Odds"; Take No Prisoners"; and "No Guts, No Glory." Apparently someone purchased the band name and trademark and assembled a touring band of sub-par musicians and are touring ripping off fans worldwide. This band had ONE guitar player, not the triple guitar attack that Hatchet is known for. They also lacked the chops and stamina to cover the songs well. This is a bad Molly Hatchet cover band. I am angry and disappointed and asking myself how something like this could happen. Do not waste your money.
