Saw Ted Nugent and he was sounding great through 5150s

[Nitro Express]

Last time I saw Ted Nugent was when I was 13 years old and he came swinging out in a loin cloth.

I caught his show in Boise, Idaho a few weeks back and the dude was playing amazingly well. His Gibson Birdlands sounded wonderful through those 5150 amps and cabs and he would get in front of the speakers and play the feedback in a masterful way.

To be honest I thought he sounded great and played better than when I saw him in the loin cloth days.

Even if you don't like his political rants he's worth seeing if you dig people who master their instruments.

Yep. I would agree with you. I saw him this summer in an outdoor venue and he sounded great. He was playing this bad ass 911 Tribute Gibson LesPaul which has the US Flag Custom Paint Scheme. He of course talked some politics which I could have done without but all in all, it was a great fucking show..

I still love to hear "Stranglehold"...

Cheers,

Yeah, now that I remember Ted was playing through the 5150's on that last reality show he had ...

He also was playin' through them on VH1's show ... the last show when they played for free in Vegas ...

Ted is a great guitarist, great riff writer, and a so-so lyric writer.

5150's are nice, had one for a little while.

Ted didn't talk much politics the night I saw him. He was in a good mood and joked that in five years he would qualify for the senior citizens discount at Denny's. Then he goes, not bad for an old fart then he started blowing some stuff through the guitar. He tottaly kicked ass on Great White Buffalo. He played so fucking good I had goose bumps and the last person who gave those to me was Stevie Ray Vaughn when I saw him live years ago.

That's what I LIKE about TED.....

He has had his moments on guitar...BUFFALO & STRANGLEHOLD are CLASSIC......

He's been using the 5150's for a while now.......

He gets a good sound...he knows tone....even if he is deaf in one ear:p

[Nitro Express]

I noticed when he got right up to the speakers it was his left ear getting the full on blast and let me tell you his rig was loud as shit! I guess he blasted that ear enough and did it in so theres nothing to lose.

Ted also knows touch. He can rip it pretty fast and fluid but he gets into he notes and gives it a subtle touch as well. He plays some mean blues as well. I think he's underated. He blew me away he was so good and I didn't see one mistake that night.

Ted sucks at guitar because he's pro-guns !!!

Actually he just sucks....

[Panamark]

So do 5150's !

LOL! He's an egomaniac. Actually, he's a hyper motherfucker and kind of reminds me of Roth in that way. Deffinately a guy you are either going to hate or like.

For me, I like to see someone beat the odds and take their passions and be successful at them. Ted did that and is doing it. He's got quite the outdoors business going and really music is a sideline to that.

I wish Eddie Van Halen had the fire Ted has. Van Halen would still be worth something.

Ted has passion, I will give him that much....

Honestly, I dont like his music, at all ???
Im not sure if its because we were not exposed to
it much in Oz, when I was growing up.
(The Nuge is not Huge in the land of Oz)

Honestly, Ive had people here send me MP3's
and I didnt like any of them. Even the one song
that does get played here, "Cat Scratch Fever"
I reckon sucks..

Maybe I need to see a doctor ????

Im a big fan of most American Hard Rock..
He just never plays anything that sounds
original to me ???

But he is passionate, and power and passion go
hand in hand....

[Panamark]

And its all about how you use that power, and for what purpose !!
