Ted is telling the 100% truth about not doing drugs. He picked up a buddy of mine that had been hitch hiking in 1969-ish. My buddy offered him a hit off of his joint, and Ted said "no thanks. I have never, and will never do that". My buddy was shocked and I believe that this experience changed my friends life.
My uncle used to sell him his coke in the mid 80s back when he lived in Jackson Michigan. He also used to have a bow and hunting shop here and my dad went in there and Ted was in there and while my dad was talking to him about a bow or something he walks in the back of the store. Dad asks the other employee where’s Ted and he says “oh he left”. But anyway just here to say he was a hypocrite then and he still is.
Imagine using drugs and shitting your pants to avoid the draft! Only to play PAYtriot 30 years later…..and having to adopt your girlfriend until she’s old enough to marry
@@James_Barris😂 You liberal sissies are so weak in the brain that you continue to repeat something that has been debunked long ago out of pure hatred for truth, logic and common sense. 🤣 Tell me, how does it feel to go through life with that kind of hatred and stupidity? Such a miserable existence you lead. Oh well. Better you than me.
You know you can do drugs and drink alcohol without becoming an addict. Just like you can have sex without being a sex addict ;) it’s just a matter of willpower. Drugs aren’t to blame people are just like guns don’t kill people people kill people.
@@merrittmussorgsky2937 Lol, you can do drugs, seriously you wrote that. I agree you can drink a beer or glass of wine, but drugs are meant to get you high and if you shoot heroin or smoke meth there's really no "casual" uses of either.
I always wished I would have known about Ted's principles when I started playing in bands and partying. If I would have listened to him, I would be better off, maybe not as many cool stories to tell, lol, but healthier, and would have made better decisions. Great guitar player, writer, etc. and a not-so-obvious great mentor.
Man yes! I just was saying this. U can see an interview of Ted from 1977 or 2021 and he is going to be the same man with the exact same principles consistent man. He is still s Doing it. The liberal destroyer 😆
"I got my physical notice 30 days prior to [being drafted]. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin', and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started getting' kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer - stuff I never touched - buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I'd drink the syrup, I was this side of death. Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. Poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up." Nugent also explained that he was typically "extremely anti-drug" but "I snorted some crystal methedrine" in order to avoid the draft.
Most drugs are bad and do fog your mind, alcohol included. But, there's a few exceptions, and those exceptions are psychedelics. Psychedelics shouldn't even be called "drugs", because they're really the opposite. They don't intoxicate you, they make you hyper-sober instead (as long as the dosage isn't too high). Read about people's experiences with micro-dosing, and how it gives so many people extra energy, focus, motivation, mood lift, etc, without any negative effects. Funny thing is, people will judge that, but then they'll drink 4 cups of coffee a day, as if caffeine isn't a drug too. Caffeine is much more of a drug than LSD or psilocybin microdosing is!
This is so true and incredibly under valued and misunderstood in today's culture, uniformed people that make up the majority of the population still unfortunately see phycadelics in the same light as traditional heavy narcotics and that's sad. The true potential and benefits of phycadelics are absolutely incredible, in the right setting pretty much everyone who has a phycadelic experience comes out as a better human .
@@liaml.7529 people see them in that way because of brainwashing by the cabal overlords who don't want us expanding our consciousness and seeing through their matrix of control
I’ve been tripping since I was a teenager and it helped me quit smoking meth I still swear by the occasional trip never considered tripping to be a problem lsd mushrooms Dmt mescaline I’ve never found psychedelics to be addictive in any way
@@JamesWilson-2011 they're quite the opposite of addictive. Overuse them and they'll either give you a swift kick in the rear, or they'll just stop doing anything for you altogether. They are teacher spirits and are to be respected as such.
Ted's intelligent and him staying away from alcohol and drugs is amazing, considering the era and the fact that he got game and didn't fall in to abuse or use of any kind, born in 1960 I grew up with alcoholism in my family, but functioning, I thought if your a man you drink beer at least, it was just the way it was in my family, I did every drug I found, I just liked it, I wish I didn't because it's followed me throughout my life, causing trouble, drugs and alcohol are not worth it, some people can drink a couple beers and go home, that's not me. Think twice before you even start, it may ruin your life.🙏
And then he grew up and attempted to rationalize his same asanine stupidity on Rogan - which is a real trip, because he actually told his roadie that he screwed Dr. Ruth after this recording.
A few others didnt but the majority did. I doubt much of the 60s & 70s product would have been the same quality without a little psychadelic assistance. @@donmcc6573
I do (certain) drugs, drink, and used to smoke cigarettes (honestly I probably don't do so many drugs and drunk less these days but it's the thought that counts, right?) And love Ted Nugent! His music is great and he's a good dude! I don't agree with his politics and he probably wouldn't even like me but I get him somehow, heh. I was raised in the country a bit. I realized a little while back that everything I love about rock and roll, all the bands I ever loved and the ones I loved the most, where all just doing Ted Nugent. Black Flag, Metallica, The Meatmen...it's all just Ted Nugent, man. Heh. People really need to respect him as a rock musician because it's just a damn lie that he's not one of *THE* most important rock guitar players of all time and especially of the 70s and heavy/hard rock music of all kinds in general. The Detroit sound is a big part of it buuut...isn't Ted a big part of developing *THAT? * I'm fine with eccentric characters so I don't really give a shit that he doesn't think like me. People on the right have to put up with me after all, hahaha. I guess that's the only issue. Will you recognize that everyone doesn't think like you and deserves to live their life their own way? That's the only part that gets contentious. I suppose that should probably be the focus more, as it's the a tial difference of opinion beyond and behind the rhetoric. I couldn't live like Ted. I want Ted to, but I need to do what I do to exist. I'm old enough now to be sure it's a complete lie that there is or even should be another way. You have to die your own death, so you should be allowed to live your own life There's room and it doesn't have to be universal. Everything fixed in a couple sentences, whoa. Heh. If only.
Cultural Icons, both, but politically probably as diverse as you can get. I'm a Bleeding Heart Liberal who grew up on the Nuge, & I love him for his humor and musical chops and attitude but politically, nah
Some people might not call something a drug You probably started early too It’s easier younger isn’t it Merijuana might not be a drug ect to you IF YOU Say so as far as I’m concerned
Y’all Hurd of jimmy Hendricks wasint a bigger or smarter guy as Ted but did a lot of drugs and was a way better guitarist hahahahaha all love tho Ted rips very good indeed

So... He's basically saying that he sucks. He's saying that everyone on drugs couldn't play as well. The truth is most that were on drugs, were better than him. So this means that for himself, to be only as good as he is, he had to stay sober. While others were/ are much better, and are not sober.
Jacob Fint Different drugs effect people differently. Everybody has to find their own self honesty. I know that. However Ted has never really had much of an open mind, he has seem to be closed minded thinking about hself too much.
@@rbagel55 for sure. In his mind, he is better than everyone, at everything. Lol. I love listening to him talk. I love his music. But i have no use for people who are self proclaimed "the best". To me, he is basically telling me that all those performers back then, were wasted on drugs but were still performing better than he was sober.
@@jake24680 what is funny is that Ted Nugent once challenged Frank Marino to a guitar battle contest. Ted said he was going to blow Frank right off the stage. He left that contest an embarrassed fool. Frank Marino doesn't have any no mammoth ego like that, he just took it all in stride.
@@jake24680 when people asked Nugent in interviews about that contest, Ted seems to make excuses or was to change the subject. Why can't he just has humbly say "yeah Frank whooped my ass. Big mistake on me. " I guess that just isn't in his nature.
“ I guess I’m too much of a big smart guy????” Please Teddy deflate that narcissistic ego facade for just one moment. You didn’t touch drugs so you could play at your optimal level and not mess with your music. OK first off you’re no Mozart or Beethoven or some great composer nor are you John Lennon an amazing songwriter. I’m not saying that we don’t all love cat scratch fever and stranglehold those are good tunes but come on get real, also no are you Coltrane, Art Tatum, Miles Davis or Charlie Parker your musicianship is nowhere even close to that level of technique harmony melody improvisation composition and overall musicianship as those serious cats playing serious music. You can’t even Comprehend the amount of preparation, wood shedding, practice that goes at becoming even a halfway decent musician much less a truly great virtuoso jazz improviser. They can play anything anytime anywhere and in any key and any tempo in any setting in any style.They are true monsters of their craft, masters of their instruments and music and almost every jazz musician in history has done all of this under the influence of serious hard drugs, hell what would Jimi Hendrix be like without LSD?And guess what In the 50’s when you were clean sober jacking off your guitar in search for pussy they were all smacked out of their mind on heroin through almost all of it, during which time they composed improvised and played and performed at the pinnacle Peak of their unbelievable powers. Bebop wouldn’t even exist as we know it if it wasn’t for Charlie Parker and his heroin habit. Heroin and jazz go together like peanut butter and jelly ice cream and apple pie. And I’d rather take a shot of heroin any day very time than a roll in the hay with 10 beautiful girls, a 100 a 1000 with any woman on the planet it doesn’t matter. All except for the love of my life. there’s one thing that heroin cannot replace or even compare or come close to and that is true love but other than true love and making love with that one and only person I’d rather do a shot of sweet brown sugar by myself or with a close friend. When the only thing that beats it is the greatest gift the universe has to offer, True Love, then you know you got something special ;)
