One of the greatest spectacles of the classic rock era was Ted Nugent swinging (on a rope) onstage at the Texas Jam(s) in The Cotton Bowl during the 1970's and 1980s. Yeah, that makes me an old(er) guy -- but those were the days of true guitar slingers.

Ted was one of the greatest guitar showman of his day.

I'm sure it was very impressive, his music just isn't anywhere near as "hard rock" as the attitude and imagery came across Same with Kiss and a lot of 70s bands.

That's because Ted Nugent and Kiss weren't considered hard rock, per se. If you wanted hard rock in the late 1970's it was more like Scorpions (with Uli Jon Roth on guitar), early Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc.

Guys like Peter Frampton (e.g. "Do You Feel Like I Do") and Ted Nugent (e.g. "Stranglehold") led the way for guitarist-led bands featuring the 5+ minute guitar solos. Rod Price (Foghat) used to also do some mean extended slide solos.
