Ted Nugent

[alamo50]

Any Nugent fans in here?
I never even heard of the guy before last Sunday when I saw him perform live at the festival in my hometown.

Damn, I was just truly blown away by his rock & roll and became an instant fan. Let me hear from you what his rep is in Texas?

[thispego]

WTF how old are you? You never heard of Nuge until last week? Weird.

Nugent's a bat crazy, right-wing kook and IMHO, his music sucks.

Did you give your damn yankees album away, or just hide it?

[Duff McCartney]

I don't listen to right wing rednecks. Nugent is a tool and his music is horrible.

[JoeChalupa]

The youngsters don't know what good rock is. I've been rockin' to the Motor City Madman for decades. I don't give a crap about his political views. Have seen him live many times. Live Gonzo is the .

Dude has a good cookbook too.

Good rock is Zeppelin, Dylan, Neil Young, GNR and The Boss.

Bad rock is Foghat, Skynard, BTO, KISS and Ted Nugent.

I know a lot of people consider that simplistic rockabilly/quasi-blues type garbage to be "real" rock, but in my opinion, it's just the dregs of music.

I respect your opinion and when it comes to music that is all it really is. I would put all those bands as good classic rock. But to each his own.



But you are wrong.

oh you just lost all credibiity with me

G'n'R, stylistically speaking, probably fits better with the second group of bands.

[thispego]

true

Stylistically yes, talent wise no.

I know GNR's glam rock and that's closer to butt/classic rock than it is to Dylan for example, but given their talented musical level I put them in the first group. Anybody with a beefy sound and a few blues licks could do what Nugent does. Slash, on the other hand, is actually, y'know, talented.

The dude is a stinking liberal pro drug PETA freak and he wants to take away guns from everyone and make them illegal.

I don't even consider Slash that great a guitar player.

So how long ago was it exactly that you lost your hearing?

What? Get in the Ring, Rocket Queen, The Garden, Civil War- Slash is the . I don't know, maybe my opinion of him is over-rated, I've never played much GNR and they did have a bunch of rhythm guitars going, but I know I'd have a hard time busting off some of the Slash does.

Listen to about 6:30-7:00 of this song. That's legit guitar mastery right thur.

Meh. But that is just me.

I remember first hearing Ted when he was "Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes". If you think about it, he was really one of the few American rock guitarists during the time all of the British epic guitarists were ruling the day (Beck, Clapton, Blackmore, Page, Hendrix, even Frampton a little later).

Nowadays, you we see him more on tv hunting birds and deer.

31, which makes me from ´77.
Is that a good excuse for a guy in The Netherlands not knowing about The Nuge up till now?

All the above sucks ass.

[peewee's lovechild]

Nugent is overrated.

Cat Scratch Fever is one of the worst songs ever made.
