I've seen him in Portland, Maine back in 80 or so. He wasn't too bad but I was kind of disappointed to learn that he didn't do all of his own vocals. He definitely was a madman on stage.

I'm seeing him open up for LYNYRD SKYNYRD

I'm tempted to say something bad about him, but he might hunt me down and shoot me with a really big gun, so I'll pass.

Who?

I've seen the nuge live. Yes, he is farking batshiat insane, but that son of a biatch can play the guitar. And he often shoots flaming arrows into his equipment, so he's got that going for him too.

Saw him in Harrisburg, PA in '82....broken arm in a cast and he STILL smoked his guitar!

//wang dang get off my lawn

Does he count the Damn Yankees era?

/ just asking
// 'cause he really shouldn't

which is nice.

But yeah, the Nuge rules!

Now THAT'S a loincloth you don't want to be downwind of.

He can deflect bullets with the power of his rocking.

fark Ted Nugent

The Nuge is a douche.

And he often shoots flaming arrows into his equipment, so he's got that going for him too.

Really? I saw Keith Emerson stab his keyboard to death in concert. I'd rather see flaming arrows.

He probably also remembers a few that never happened, too. And that time he jammed out with Hendrix and Bach.

Protip: "conservative" and "artist" are mutually exclusive terms.

Yep.

Yeah, he's got the single note guitar solo mastered.

"i'm going to play so sexy tonight that i'm going even have all you fags eating pussy."

seminole87: HER FACE IS A MASERATI!!!

/wtf was up with that???????

Well, duh...isn't it obvious?

Now what you gotta do, I'll tell you what you gotta do
You got to pretend your face is a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a gettin' hotty
It's a Maserati, Maserati, Maserati
It's a fast one too man, that thing's turbocharged
You feel like a little fuel injection honey?
I'll tell ya about it, I'll tell you about it
I'll check out the hood scoop
I gotta get that hood scoop off, shine and shine and buff
I gotta buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up,
Yeah, shiny now baby, heh heh heh
You've been drivin' all night long
It's time to put the old Maserati away
So you look for a garage, you think you see a garage
Wait a minute, Hey!, there's one up ahead
And the damn thing's open
Hello! Get in there!

I still like Damn Yankees. You can't tell me "Comin' of Age" doesn't sound good blasting out of your car stereo with the windows down.

1) loves me some 'Stranglehold' and 'Hey Baby' but geeze, he's
nothing more than a white trash/cracker version of DL Roth.

Seriously, you're really so stupid as to believe this?

Maybe he learned that from Neil Young's "Southern Man"

Fifteen years ago, maybe.

Can't wait for that guy to kick the bucket.

fark Ted Nugent.

Nugent sucks ass.

"Cat Scratch Fever" is a terrible song no matter how much I drink.

Ah yes, I love the smell of haterade in the morning. These music threads never fail to bring out the clichéd "[insert artist name here] sucks"; "my grandma plays a better guitar"; yada, yada, yada.

I have to say I spent some serious time with Ted and he is an awesome man. Honest, authentic, caring, uplifting. Great sense of silly humor too.

He helped me through a turbulent time in my life and I will always be grateful, almost 20 years now.

I bet some of you are wondering if we farked. Keep a-wonderin...

I saw him open for ZZ Top (who rocked) in 2003 at Star Lake (Picksberg, PA). Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Double Trouble played before the Nuge and also rocked.

My memory of the Nugent concert was that his vocals were incomprehensible during songs, with key words being understood here and there (i.e. "poontang" and "barbecue"). He wore a native American head-dress at some point while saying, "this here is an American guitar, no Jap guitar can reach a note this high." And then he shot a cardboard cutout of Saddam with a crossbow. It was pathetic.

That is the hardest I have laughed in ages. Thank you so much. I had to stop reading for fear that I was going to asphyxiate.

This.

I almost shot Dos Equis out of my nose reading this.

Imagine if he had criticized the out-sourcing of guitar-making to Japan and shot a cross-bow through picture of Bush!
He'd be a hero!

/Idiocy takes many forms.

yawn.

I've been to four Whiplash Bashes. Last one ('91 or so) was quite terrible.


/Vernors FTW
//I have mixed feelings about his political views
///Just read his wife's book, was even a worse waste of time than making comments about Uncle Ted on Fark.

Beck Bristow: I'm seeing him open up for LYNYRD SKYNYRD

Wow, they have the internet back in 1977?

My brother met Ted in an airport in Ann Arbor, MI. Ted was reporting a clogged toilet to management. My brother said, "dropped a bomb in there, eh, Ted?"...

/Of all the things to say to the Nuge...
//This might be perfect...

I wonder if he remembers a gig in Akron, Ohio in the 70's where he fell off his amplifier, had his loin-cloth fly up, and was arrested for indecent exposure.

Saw him at Arrowhead Stadium many moons ago. He later bragged about noise complaints from 17 miles away. He played our fair a few years ago also. He railed about everybody & everything in Missouri. I don't think the fair committee is gonna welcome him back soon.

Ted Nugent == Overrated No-Talent Asshat

Beck Bristow: I'm seeing him open up for LYNYRD SKYNYRD

On purpose? That's a double bill of suck if I've ever seen one.

Teddy was huge and the background music for my high school years. Love those first few albums, especially w/ Derek St Holmes on vocals. I'll still listen to them from time to time. It's funny that at the time, I had no idea he was so anti-drugs. I'm guessing neither did most of his audiences. And if they did, they sure didn't follow that line of thinking.

Funny that there is also a Meatloaf thread nearby this one. He sang lead vocals on about half the Free For All album. Pretty solid, and quite different from his solo work.

/Had Free For All on 8 track
//Lawn, etc..

My Nuge story:

Me, my girlfriend, and another friend get to the parking lot of the community college auditorium where we are going to see Ted. We are stoned silly and can't figure out where the entrance to the building is. I say "hey, let's ask those guys over there." I proceed to walk up to about 5-6 guys next to the building and ask how to get inside. One of them says that it is around on the other side of the building. When I get back to the car, my friend is freaking out, say "That's Ted Nugent....you just asked Ted frickin' Nugent how to get into the building!" I didn't realize it until I turned around and watched him go into the building with his crew. At least the ganga wore off enough for me to remember the show. Yes....the Nuge is a great guitar player, and Yes....he is farking LOUD!

I saw Ted live in concert back in 2000. He's loud, he's crazy, he's an incredible guitar player, and I'd go see him perform again in heartbeat.

Front row Nugent twice in the last 5 years, and I'd do it again. I met the guy at a bow shop once. Yes he's crazy and over the top, but he's a helluva nice guy if you get the pleasure of meeting him.

Knowing something about guitars and hunting helps.

Oh, man, thanks for that. I had no idea there was a video.

That was the first non-pop album I ever bought. Had to ask the guy at the record store to order it for me and in 1967, it took several weeks for it to arrive. But to be honest I thought "Baby Please Don't Go" was the best cut.
