A Nugent interview even jhale would like...

[Kristy]

Listen to Wang Dand Sweet Poontang and shut the fuck up !!

I'd rather listen to a cat being run over by a truck.

It would take less effort to notice if "she" has an Adam's apple or not.

I know funny. That's funny. That's what humor is about.

[Kristy]

Hey, enjoy your repressed (and somewhat latent) homosexuality. Give Ted all the praise you think he deserves.

[jhale667]

Give Ted all the praise you think he deserves.

Little to none...?

[Hardrock69]

Whoa.Wait a seccy here...you pay with Barbie dolls?

???

Pay for what with Barbie dolls?


Seriously Kristy, stop taking so many drugs before posting here.....

[Kristy]

Never!

[envy_me]

Oh, god, Dave!!!

[Nickdfresh]

I was there, proud to say. Give me Ted over any of the 90's bullshit guitar stars. Dead Cobain, Green shit, Barking Pumkins, etc.

...!!

Really? You're that proud of Ted's faggotry work in Damn Yankees?

Ted's a marginal cliche knob playing the same shit riff over and over, in short he's the Sammy Hagar of lead guitar...

[Hardrock69]

Never!

Ok....take MORE drugs!

[Hardrock69]

And yes, I agree he is now the Sammy Hagar of lead guitar.

But back in the mid-70s, he was viewed as a really heavy rocker. Just the volume alone was enough.......

Though by 1980 I had outgrown his stuff....he was useful to me for the simple songs he wrote which I could easily learn, for demonstrating that done properly, feedback could be harnessed and used to one's advantage in rock songwriting and performing, and he had the ego large enough to entertain 12-15,000 people a night.......

But my interests were much more varied by 1980.....I think Double Live Gonzo was the last album I had bought by him........

Stewart Copeland in an interview said never take any real life advice from someone famous. He said famous people live in the bubble. He said when he was in The Police when they hit fame, a wall goes up. That was to protect the band from outsiders trying to get in. He said the next thing you know, you aren't driving a car, going out like a normal person, or buying your own groceries. He said you get isolated and you no longer are part of the real world and in fact he says, you don't even know who you are anymore. He said it's spooky and is why he's apt to give people like Britney Spears a break because he says that fame thing can crack you if you aren't strong enough.

So the moral of the story is ignore the political views of famous people and that includes Ted Nugent. He might be a good source of information on playing a guitar or rock and roll in general. You might enjoy Double Live Gonzo, but on real world subjects? new. Ted lives in a bubble he created a long time ago.

She looks like my next door neighbor. Hmmm. I wonder if she did any modeling her husband didn't know about.

For me that was KI$$. I have a clear memory of sitting in the garage age 12 or so, with my hondo les paul jr. Distortion pedal and 20 watt coronet amp (with gigantic 8" speaker) working out the intro to 'watching you'.

Ted's never been popular here. I suspect if he came here there's butch dyke chicks who'd beat the piss out of him, never mind the rough nut blokes...

[Nitro Express]

Ted wasn't political in his heyday. He was just fucking nuts and really over the top. It was on the edge rock and roll and fucking LOUD when he was playing all those Fender amps.

When Derek St. Holmes was in the band it was pretty good. I love the tone Derek gets on his solo here.
