I Don’t Care…I love

[SpiderWars]

A lot of the posts itt apply to me when I was young. He was one of my first guitar heros, until I went to see him in concert and saw Frank Marino open. I liked Free For All and Stranglehold. He jumped the shark for me at Cat Scratch Fever.

Some music from that era sticks but Teddy not so much.

I traded VHII record for Double Live Gonzo on 8-track

Always thought he was an unlistenable, insufferable asshole, just like he antithesis, Bruce Springsteen.

when i was like 6, my biker neighbor gave me a mix cassette tape of bad ass rock and roll, and "wang dang sweet puntang" was on there. even that young, i was like damn, this shit fucking rocks hard as fuck. tonight is my 43rd birthday and im listening again for old times sake, and this shit still fucks hard

Happy Birthday

….The Nuge. Don’t care about his political stuff and all his excentricity. He is a prime American rock legend and there never will be anyone like him again.

I do care about his "political stuff" and I whole heartedly approve of it.

I love how the same people who give you shit about listening to and making fun of leftist bands for their stupid, childish, naive version of politics

are the hypocrites who do the exact same fucking thing about ted nugent's arch-boomer neocon politics

"Respect the rock, hate the politics maaaaan"

You don't hate the politics, you hate that he disagrees with you, cuck lol

i could careless about anyone's political or religious views. Those are all man made constructs.

Ted has definitely had a effect on how I play the guitar. Especially in the early parts of my development.

The Cat Scratch Fever riff is something most of learned about the same time as Smoke on the Water. I don't like the term iconic. But it would apply here.

Does he drink a lot of coffee or something ? The Motor City Mad Man seems wired.

Teenage girls love venison.

I found this the other day. Ted's 6000th gig. In Michigan, of course!

Ted and his band hauled ass at that gig. In fact, I've never seen the Nuge NOT give it his all.

I saw his tour back in 1980. Scorpions opened. Def Leppard came on next. Then Ted came out and vaporized the Arena we were in. I don't know how I made it out of there alive. Good times.

NOBODY sounds like Ted. I admire that. A LOT.

Glad to see that he busted out the Byrdland for Stranglehold.

 

[JohnnyGtar]

I wasn't at this show, but I saw him on this tour.

WEAR A WELDER'S MASK WHILE LISTENING TO THIS OR HIS MAJESTY KING TEDWARD THE FIRST WILL MELT YOUR FACE RIGHT OFF.

Don't say I didn't warn you!

Hell yeah, bro. Byrdlands have a sound all their own because of their short scale neck. The scale length on Byrdlands is 23 1/2".

James Hetfeild biggest influence was Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent biggest influence was June Carter Cash.

There is a lot of similarities in how they use the pick hand.

Ted released a live album comprised of new tunes called "Intensities in Ten Cities" in 1981. This album is the only post Derek album that I put on the list of classic Nugent albums. The album was ranked at number 9 on Guitar World's list of the "Top 10 Live Albums".

Tedly fans, if haven't given this one your ear, you've seriously missed out on a WHOOPASS album from the Nuge. It's a sonic assault...in a good way.

The link takes you the playlist of the entire album. Thank me later. Right now, go crank this up real LOUD.

That was the last album with Cliff Davies on drums too.

Yep. I love that guy's drumming. Dude doesn't get the credit he deserves. Cliff could really bring it.

Ted's YouTube channel has all his releases. A lot of live albums and shows. ---> https://www.youtube.com/@tednugent/releases

He's also an avid fisherman / bowhunter as well which makes me like him more!

My buddy hunts with him, lol.

I think Ted is hilarious and I don't care for a lot of things he says but he is just a straight shooter.
