  1. locked and loaded

    Molly Hatchet is an American rock band formed in 1971 by Dave Hlubek in Jacksonville, Florida. They experienced commercial success and popularity during the late 1970s and early-to-mid 1980s among southern and hard rock communities. The band released six studio albums on Epic Records between 1978 and 1984, including the platinum-selling hit records Molly Hatchet (1978), Flirtin' with Disaster (1979) and Beatin' the Odds (1980). They also had successful hits on the US Billboard charts, some of which include "Flirtin' with Disaster", "The Rambler", "Bloody Reunion" and "Satisfied Man". Molly Hatchet has released eight more studio albums since their split with Epic Records in 1985, although none have been as commercially successful as their early albums, nor charted in the United States. None of the band's original line up and founding members remain within the group as all founding members have died. Current keyboardist John Galvin has been a member of Molly Hatchet since 1984 (with the exception of a break between 1991 and 1994) and Bobby Ingram has been the guitarist since 1987, when he replaced founding member Dave Hlubek, who would rejoin the band 18 years later and stayed with the band until his death in 2017. Also included in the current lineup are drummer Shawn Beamer, bassist Tim Lindsey and vocalist Jimmy Elkins.

  1. locked and loaded

    [from military slang for an M-16 rifle with magazine inserted and prepared for firing] Said of a removable disk volume properly prepared for use — that is, locked into the drive and with the heads loaded. Ironically, because their heads are ‘loaded’ whenever the power is up, this description is never used of Winchester drives (which are named after a rifle).
