Ted Nugent on Letterman early 80's (Part 1 of 2)

- This is my personal recording of Ted on David Letterman from the early 80's. I was about 14 when I recorded this on VHS (because I loved the guy) and thought it would be fun for Ted fans to see. It's a very enjoyable interview with some good laughs. Ted always has something to say - guns, media, rock and roll and, of course, himself (don't miss Part 2 on guns). His charm is missed by some but his guitar solos cannot be denied. The digital transfer is clean. The original recording always had that unmistakable snow and sound. Nevertheless, I don't mind the friendly jabs in the comments for the quality. Couldn't be helped. I've got more old footage that I'm digitizing and it will be cool, yet crappy, just the same as this.
Be sure to check out part 2 of this video - you'll get a link at the end of this one - where Ted and Dave get into guns and Ted plays another song. Back when I originally uploaded this, UA-cam didn't even have the ability to take the whole segment as one.
By the way, kkp5200 out there has taken my 2 videos of Ted and made them one video passing them off as his, which I find flattering and insulting at the same time. Not cool. I taped this show, kept the tape for 25 years and I found a way to transfer it & get it on UA-cam in 2011 when it wasn't easy to do. But whatever.
Update: I turned off the comments for several years because the political hate got to be a bit much & was beside the point, but I turned them back on due to requests.
I'll never forget watching one of many shows of his. This was a small local gig of just a few hundred. I was standing next to a fence at the stage. He was doing the stranglehold lead and he saw me playing air guitar. He stepped off the stage to that fence right next to me and just lights it up. He finishes and throws his hand out to me over the fence. I reach out and we do a solid handshake and he heads back to the stage. One of life's highlights I'll never forget. Long live Ted.
bs
@@iggypopisgod9 why's that? Do you think The Nuge doesn't shake hands with his fans or something? Just curious about why you so strongly felt like it was something the guy made up that you felt the need to call the man a liar. Ted Nugent has probably shook and/or bumped hands with hundreds of thousands of people in his lifetime. Just because you sit in your room and don't do anything doesn't mean that there aren't others out there who do live life to the fullest.
@@aaronmccutcheon well he thinks Iggy pop is God so he's obviously irrelevant...
Hahaha. That's the highlight of your life? Not much of a life, I see. Something tells me a glass pipe is involved quite a bit in it.
@@fernando717 So he's a glass blower, what's wrong with that?
Ted is at least partially responsible for my hearing loss
Mark Chidester I hear that! LOL... 👂 👂...🔊🔊📢📢
Mine too.
Mine too
Huh?
Thank you captain obvious
Legendary.Talented. Quick witted. Unbroken. American Badass. Uncle Ted, kicking ass for over 60 years.
Dude is a fantastic guitar player. Not a single bad note played here.
Yeah he’s very accurate and hits all the notes at all the right times. Good stuff.
Check out the video for Damn Yankees High Enough. His solo is so rockin that it creates a special Nuge shield, blocking all the bullets being shot at him!!!! The Bullet Proof Madman!!

Man, I miss the 80's! I graduated in 1980 and grew up with music from Ted Nugent and so many other great bands. They don't make music like that anymore! 👍👍
Yeah I grew up in the seventies and eighties graduated in 81 nothing like Ted Nugent Cat Scratch Fever I saw him several times and bad on Backstage one time in Milwaukee
I was born in 80 and remember most all of it
But I wish I had been born a little sooner so I could have been old enough to fully enjoy the greatness
Me too . I graduated 1979. Ted was AWESOME
You're absolutely right. Nothing today beats what was coming out in the 80s.... Nothing. Everything today is all about making money.
@@kenw.1112 g
Ted was naturally larger than life. He was destined to be a rockstar. 🎸 🎵🎼
Instead he showed his true self. A total asshat.
"Overkill IS good for you" great Detroit Rock and roll principle
I like everything about the Nuge!!
Ted Nugent is so badass he casually rocks in an easy chair better than most guitarists struggle through in a studio.
@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial i hope so
freakin yeah!
Agreed 100%
Lol what a retarded comment. There are 18 year olds, younger too, that are leagues above this dipshit
He really doesn't. He's so below average it hurts.
The piece he does here is effortless, intuitive, perfect. Pure genius.
At that speed you say effortless? He had Paul’s band running at full tilt.
@@georgejungle2255 Sure. You miss my point: it is effortless for him, no matter how how fast others must run to catch up.
ua-cam.com/video/WEubiUaDq0o/v-deo.html
And very Chuck Berry - we can all do that. :)
Quite frankly any of the guys on the house band would destroy Ted
Thank you for preserving this moment in time where a liberal and conservative could share the same stage and laugh without judging each other. Ted Rocks. Always has, always will.
Meh...Dave wasn't as liberal back in 1982 as he was by 2002...he hated Bush, for some reason..
He’s a literal pedophile.
@@brainscott8198 I am not sure witch Bush you are referring to but I hated Bush too and I voted for him. Two endless wars, a terrible economy and in the end the complete destruction of the economy.
Ted was just a straight rocker at the time. Not broadcasting any deep conservative ideologies.
@@daviddemaria3982 Ted never changed. The media has gone hard left and they're the ones that have to apologize for having friends on the other side. They march in lockstep like Nazi stormtroopers now.
Life will never be so carefree and full of excitement like back then. Listening to Ted was the best way to spend a wild weekend! Rock and roll Ted!
Back before 9/11, before school shootings and mass shootings took place every week, and before viral pandemics locked down the whole planet.
The good ol’ days are gone.
Because our new generation is better then yours and u no it!
Tranicle Gov wannabees.
I met him about 10 years ago. He flew into our little airport to go hunting. The man was really nice, polite, and fun to talk to. Very impressive man.
I worked our Coliseum & got to set up for him...yea, cool dude...very nice to us...
Would that happen to be Crab Orchard?
@@NdeeAnna ?
@steve williams I was asking Steve if the hunting grounds might happen to be Crab Orchard in Southern Illinois....Jon Bongiovi and Ted Nugent both are known to frequent the area. Just curious.
@@NdeeAnna hmm, I learned something new today...thank u! I never heard that
Stadium shows in the 70's and 80's were phenomenal! Ted the sledge was outstanding! Great White Buffalo Baby only took what he needed! 🎸🎙🎶🔊
T.N. & the Amboy Dukes
Hellllll Yes Z Great White Buffalo was kool as phuck.
One of the cleanest pickers and best guitarists to this day. First seen him in 77 and countless times since. Still puts on a good show. Rock on blood brother!!!
Nah
DAMN! You said exactly what I was gonna say! 👏🏼😎
Nah his last great shows were in the eighties
His commentaries too often take center stage. He is undoubtable one of the greatest rock guitarists out there.
Wrong. Gee, Gary Moore comes to mind.
"there's a lot of wimps out there.." haha, love it
rue dat. And they're all Trump suckups. Cowering underneath their desks, afraid to stand up to this whining bully.
lol like someone shitting their pants to get out of 'Nam. Nugent is a fucking loser.
@@JunkBondTrader Avoided the 2nd American war that was purely for profit? F the bankers and profiteers!
@@The_Real_Indiana_Joe lol I'm not saying war is good. Ted Nugent is great, until he opens his mouth. Like if he didn't play guitar no one would listen. He'd just be another jack ass
@@JunkBondTrader but you will always be a bitch...
The man was sitting down rocking it out so effortlessly...that is true talent.
That’s how most of us guitarists practice: sitting down.
That's because it didn't take much effort to play like that. Let's re-define "true talent." Can you say Jeff Beck?
@@nofairytales5604 What do you mean "redefine" you dumbfuck. They are from the same era. Both play blues based rock. Both are legends. What? You learn a new name just because he croaked? Must be one of those "wimps."
@@ducksoff7236 First of all, Einstein, I didn't say "redefined"; I said "refried" (the former gives way too much credit to the Motor City Moron). There's an old saying: There are innovators and there are imitators, and guess who's the innovator here. Chuck is the father of rock guitar, and Ted is the father of being a loud-mouth asshole (and I'm not commenting on his lack of talent for this reason). Thery're also not from the same era. '50s vs. '70s. Even Ted admits (surprisngly for Mr. Ego) that Paul McCartney once said that he (Ted) had never had a good musical idea in his life. Right on, Paul. Legends? There are all sorts of rappers who are now considered "legends." Do you want to tell me those Bozos have any talent because they're rich and famous? Lastly, your use of childish, vulgar name-calling (maybe you're a Trumper. like Ted) is not impressive and just might get you kicked out of junior high school some day. In fact I could turn around Duck Soff with just changing two letters and probably make your moniker more accurate...but that would be too easy. Rock on.
@@nofairytales5604 Read your comment again not-Einstein. Here is a copy and paste you jackass "re-define." No where does it say "refried." Too much credit LOL! Jealously is a hell of a thing.
When it comes to guitar greats…Ted isn’t recognized as he should be. He is amazing!
Hello Marie
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to have you here!
No doubt
Wrong!
He's an all time great guitar player. All anyone has to do is listen to his music.
@Charles X Yes, he's a hack.
I cannot believe this day he's not the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
F*#k,even just sitting,chilling out and playing,dudes got mad stage presence
Uncle TEDDY ROCKS THEN AND NOW
I've been to well over 100 concerts in my 56 years, my first was Ted in '78, my last was Ted just last month. I've seen him 9 times and his shows are the most memorable and enjoyable. Pure energy .
Eternal LEGEND !!!
I am also 56 ben to probably around 100 shows 1st was 78 black sabbath, van halen . Thank You for bringing back a wonderful memory. Rock on brother.
🇨🇱The first time I heard of Uncle Ted was in 77👍🏽
At 16, STL MO. When he ran past us I touched his stomach. Lol
Been a fan since Dukes days, and seen Ted more times than I recall, but this gem is priceless.
His swagger just kills me. Ted was the man and Ted knew it.
Ted was sexy af, not because he was handsome but because of the swagger. That swagger gave him huge sex appeal.
@G Money No one cares.
Ted Nugent live August 3, 1981 (audio only) ua-cam.com/video/EErL6ImCo9I/v-deo.html
"Is"
All losers that never made it will call someone else a pedophile or sex offender. Give it up you fucking cry baby.
Saw him in 2000 with skid row and kiss. He cursed Janet Reno, Bill Clinton and the NAACP. It was fucking awesome!
I saw him in Toronto on that tour. We had free box and invited a bunch of people, and a few backed out due to Ted’s politics.
that was awesome???//to you maybe.....lol
@@RootsMusic-ek5nc cry more
I'm sure that was stupid. Could be a thousand legit ways to criticize that whole Clinton/Reno era, but a GQP hack like Nuge would obviously not have the capacity to know any better...outside his GQP echo chamber, that is.
A testament to what a right-wing moron he is.
Nugent is still the GOAT
That was badass. Thanks for sharing with us Uncle Ted fans 😁
Saw Nugent back in 1980 in Philadelphia PA. And get this, the warm up acts were The Outlaws and Molly Hatchet. What a show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That must have been a great show. Saw Ted twice in Philly at the Spectrum. First time in 1979. AC/DC opened up for him. Still to this day, the loudest concert I was every at an done of the best. 3rd row...ears bleeding, and loving every second of it.
@@beachhunting69 I got Kicked out of Two Bars in Portland after Seeing Terrible Ted play at The Memorial Coliseum... My Friend and I were So Deaf after the Show, Our Conversation made people think we were Fighting or Dangerous, cause we had to Yell to hear each other!!
@@davidmulloy2623 Dude...that's a great story. After that concert, me and my friends went to a diner and the same thing happened. The waitresses thought we were ready to fight yelling at each other to pass the salt ! Funny as hell.
WOW, I'd love to have been there to experience that concert.
Hey Big Dan, that was a dream concert, was that still the original Molly Hatchet singer or the new one??
I honestly believe as a guitar player Ted Nugent very very underrated
Stop fucking saying underrated, that's the most over used term on UA-cam
@@wiggywu would you say it is overrated
@@tokidokiaudiobooks 😂
It’s not his fault 😂
He has no self esteem problems
The way it should be!
I saw him and his band at the Mile High Stadium, summer of ‘78. It was just about the perfect volume for that venue. I just couldn’t stay cooped up inside with him in smaller spaces.
I don’t know what y’all think, but I’m absolutely delighted that he’s still cranking.
Somebody underrates Ted Nugent?
God bless Uncle Ted! A real American who plays guitar like a man!!!
How else would he play a guitar, He doesnt have one song thats decent, he sucks just like Trump
Well said!❤️
So what men don't play it like a man ?
@@mizzury54 Thanks for the introspective musing of my post! This is precisely why i rarely post anything on UA-cam!
Uncle Ted! God how I miss those day's. I use to watch Letterman every night. No dumb politics. Just comedy! Did I say how much I miss those days?
Was on his FB a few months back. And he said “Do you wanna know how much I’ve spent on Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, tattoos?” “NOTHING!” Absolutely nothing, I spent absolutely nothing on stupid shit!” Love it, showed it to my 16 yr. old kid. A true Rocker that didn’t waste his brain cells on stupid shit!🤪 Ted and Dave are only a year apart.
@Point thumbs not fingers haha for real. My parents let me do whatever, whenever. Fast forward, and meth nearly destroyed me in my twenties. 31 and off it now. But damn... All started with weed at 16.
Tattoos are dope though :p
@@JunkBondTrader you would have done it without gods herb fool
@@copblocker4654 not likely dumb arse ........it usually starts with smoking , alcohol, weed, pills and snowballs to harder and harder stuff to chase that first high feeling.
They should legalize everything and treat it as a personal family problem not law enforcement problem.......natural selection will take care of the rest.
@@eldiablo7862 yeah right dickweed you might as well say it started with breathing but i agree it should be all legal DISBAND THE DEA
Ted is funny,and he tells it like it is. He's incredibly talented,and is not afraid of the masses. Keep on calling the wild,man.
Ted "tells it like it is" because he needs the attention. He can't get respect, so, like a rebellious teen, he'll settle for attention.
@@fretbuzz59WIMP 😅
@@jennyjacques573 That doesn't even make sense.
@@fretbuzz59 Meaning your a WIMP that dosen't get it !
Ted says many true statements that hit the nerves of ' my feelings, my feelings folks '. Like the man with the mean tweets remember
DJT. Just too many truth bombs falling on the heads of the WIMPS ! 👍
@@jennyjacques573 You think Ted hurts my feelings? Haha. No. He's annoying, sure, but obnoxious teenagers always are. Thing is, Ted is all about feelings. His need to constantly try to affect such bravado and machismo reveals his insecurity (same for DJT). Acting out makes him feel important.
Ted….Always entertaining. Never disappoints. Loved him with the Damn Yankees!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, I been lookin' for this footage on Letterman for a long time. Shows just what rockers are all about..the Motor City Madman's scorching guitar work. And Paul Shaffer and The Worlds Most Dangerous Band back the day??? You kiddin' me ??!!?? Like him or hate him, Ted was a great musician and showman..thanks Rebecca....Ghost..
I love this vintage stuff! Ted sure knows his way around a gutiar

So glad you enjoyed it, slippery j. :) Makes me happy.
Knows his way around me too.... Lol!!!!!$$$$$$
@@tracijames8314
So do a lot of guys. 😎
Yeah it's crazy just how much like Chuck Berry he sounds
I interviewed Ted and he's the same guy on and off stage. The genuine article!
One of the most underrated rock guitarists of all time.
Underrated according to who?
@@willrobinson9575 he’s considered one of the BEST!!
@@willrobinson9575 affirmative, Will Robinson
you should see his shows -- the man brings it EVERY TIME. I can't stand his politics ... but that is one great Michigan rock n roller.
a garage band …. average guitar player at best
I like the dichotomy of how he`s casually sitting calmly in a chair while rocking a guitar like few people on this planet can.
It's sad to think few guitarists on the planet can't do better than this hack.

Sits there and plays it flawlessly, like it was nothing. Long live Ted!!!
I know - it's like a "walk in the park" for him. Gosh I am so envious now.
With all due respect it's not very hard to play. It just takes practice. And it's easier to play sitting down. If you play guitar I'd be surprised by your comment so I'm going to assume you don't play or you don't play well.
@@kevinwillson341 Sure Kevin. It's not hard to sit there and play on national television, you're right. What national show might I catch your performance on? If you think it's easier to sit and play in a chair with arms on it, you've exposed your ignorance. BTW, I've been playing for 50 years and play quite well, thanks.

@@rhllnm Biden didn’t serve, either. He got 5 deferments and finally a medical deferment for teenage asthma. Funny all you heard about was Trump’s heel spurs but nothing about Biden not serving.

One good thing about uncle ted. He wouldn’t be drunk and acting stupid. Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing
Semi Auto you’re most welcome.
That's for sure. You would never have to worry about him not being able to perform because he's either too doped up or drunk. People like Eric Clapton, Linda Ronstadt, and others; you never know if you'll get a show or not...
Ya sober and acting stupid is waaay better.
I didn't record it on VHS but I remember watching it that night. Love Ted and was thrilled Letterman had him on. Thanks for the memory.
I saw Uncle Ted 40 years ago and 7 years ago live, LOVED
IT and yes, it was loud!
I saw Ted open for Kiss on the, " Final Farewell Tour" back in the late "90's in Minneapolis and that was so loud that a girl passed out !
Awesome times ten.
Back in a time when late night entertainment was not in any way political.
Wang dang
Those days are dearly missed😔
Agreed. Since I uploaded the video, it's just gotten worse out there.

MAN I MISS THOSE DAYS!!! TED IS AN ANIMAL AND I LOVE IT!!!!
That was the coolest live guitar and band playing together…Wow!!!
Never forget my 1st seeing him. It was at a small local teen club in MI of only a couple hundred in “69”. He jumps out on stage as the Amboy Dukes Greg Arama, Andy Solomon, and Dave Palmer are building up a song.He was wearing nothing except a tan leather loincloth, full Indian headdress, and a neck choker. He jumps out onstage screaming with a bow & arrow and jumps up on top of his amplifier, drills an arrow perfectly in a deer decoy hung on a pole that has been placed barely above the audience. Throws the bow and arrow down with the band building up a song, and puts a Bowie knife in his mouth, slings up his guitar and with a thousand decibels steaming from it, jumps off the tall amp onstage again, perfectly to the opening downbeat of the song not missing a beat and throws the knife into the deer as an afterthought never missing hardly a note on his guitar, still screaming the whole time.Those were the days my friend, Good Golly Miss Rolly. Made such an impression on me I decided to play rock & roll in a band.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to say thanks for all the great comments and subscribing to my channel. I thought that my brother and a few of his friends would appreciate this ... and then all y'all showed up! I particularly love the "filmed on duct tape" comment. No. Seriously. It was damn funny. I just hope he appreciates that I was standing there nearly 40 years ago, probably late on a school night, with my finger on a giant metal lever attached to a machine that weighed almost as much as I did, timing & waiting for the commercials to start & end to get this footage. And I was/am all GIRL. Go figure. Anyway ... I found some more footage - Van Halen, Triumph, Scorpions, Judas Priest, etc. It's crappy quality too, but I still think it's great to see. I'll be uploading them soon and hopefully it'll be a nice blast from the past.
And to the haters out there I have this to say: If this footage upsets you in any way, maybe you should go somewhere else to play. This is entertainment and most of the people here don't sound so angry. Join us! But if you want to comment how much you can't stand Uncle Ted, go ahead. The discourse is also entertainment. Thanks again and stay tuned! And if you're watching this Ted, well.... thanks for letting me post this and I'd still stay up late on a school night to see you make music & make me laugh.
Good stuff thanks for posting it, fyi, some vcr`s had a manual tracking adjustment, and you can get those lines out, either way it's good stuff.Thanks

Ted Nugent is one of the best.... love it!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE INTERVIEW OF ALL TIME
Mine, too. Thanks. So glad you like it.
Aw man! The Nuug was a top icon and great inspiration to teen boys when I was growing up.
Still love this guy.Fan since 1975.Was in between 12 and 13 when I first really knew anything about him.A little bit down the road the Double Live Gonzo recordings really brought it home.My high school had a low watt FM radio station in the So Cal Los Angeles County burbs and as a sophomore DJ I and my fellow teammates played cuts off that vinyl on air to death. So much fun.At the time of my senior year I was the student DJ in charge of the station and yes the Nuge rocked us on.By the way....yes an actual low watt FM station on the Los Angeles FM dial run basically by high school guys.
KNHS 89.7.North Torrance High School- Torrance CA.Back in the day baby.
This is very cool! Cool that it was on VHS and still decent quality. I remember Ted Nugent and his music from when I was 5 yrs old!(1976&77) He was all the rage and must of been on TV enough for me to see him because I remember his look and I know he was on the radio A lot! There was an awesome station out of Dubuque Iowa that played the best tunes and he was on alot, Frampton and Kiss too! A pretty memorable dude and music. Dang good jam he did here with Dave's band.
He does not hesitate to kick ass on that guitar
Thanks alot man. Love Ted. When I was 10 years old I got a video game at Christmas, and my first Ted Nugent album "Cat Scratch Fever". My parents were pissed because I listened to Ted Nugent ($10) before playing the video game ($200)! A kid has to have priorities! lol.
Love him or hate him, you can't deny that man can play.
Yeah I can't stand his politics but still love the songs I loved back in the 70's. He's a great player.
Ted is most impressive in so many ways! Great guitarist, family man, and very intelligent on political and social issues.

@@jessicacabrales6820 There are more strong people than whimps Jessica the whimps are just spotlighted and run the Main Media, Social Media and most of the net. I know I am an Army nurse since 1988 and served in two wars.
@@yadja1502 Thank you for serving!
@@robwoodall8425 Family tradition. You are so welcome.
What do you mean by wimps exactly? And how do wimps effect your life? Just curious.
Thanks for uploading this, and keeping Comments on! God Bless Our Free America! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸 Love You Uncle Ted.
Uncle Ted had his 10,000 hours in as a rock star before he was 20! What a legend!
TED speaks his mind,like it or not
Problem is he has very little mind to speak from.
@Samí Warrior Aw, poor baby. Did that big mean Joe hurt your little feelings by beating the Dotard?
@Samí Warrior Give it up, sami boy. Nothing pretentious about speaking the truth.
cheating ain't beating.
1980 scream dream Tour, opening acts were the scorpions and a band that goes by the name Def Leopard, they’re were in their late teens at the time, Oh one more thing, tickets cost $7.50, yeah thats a decimal between that seven and five!!!!
My sister went to see him on that tour ,,she got me a Jersey for 12 bucks. Remember them. T shirt was 10 and Jersey were 12 or 15
I saw the same tour and the Romantics opened. They were boo’d off the stage
Legend valley, Ohio.
Thanks, Rebecca, for the post that brings back some good memories.
I remember being blown away watching this when he came out on the show and man Ted can really play badass guitar 🎸
Thank you Rebecca for saving this little piece of history.
My Lady just said, "Hard to believe a guy that tall, handsome and charismatic would stay home alone night after night making love to his guitar to get so good at playing it".
Ted Nugent played at the Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma after obummer's secret service agents questioned him, and he was ON FIRE! I loved being at that concert!
another right wing thug talking shit again
@Anjali Hettige: Better than a left wing piece of shit like you, asshole.
Hello Cindy
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to have you here!
That was great Rebecca, thanks for recording and uploading it!
Thanks for this video (I'm french)... For me, the heart of Ted Nugent have a shape of Gibson guitar...
Love TED! Hilarious, talented and a man's man.
When men could be men without fear of speaking one's mind.
Okay, I'll speak my mind. Trump is a lying asshole, and everybody that doesn't stand up to him is a wimp.
I'm a real man. I spoke my mind. Like it?
STOP FLATTERING SATANISM, AND THOSE DAYS WILL COME BACK!
@@Mooseboy08 And I'll speak mine. You're a fucked up libtard! Like it?
Standing In The Rain oh the fear has always been there...today's man has just given in to it. Men are not the same as they use to be.
@@ictpilot nice way to dirty up a video with your politics
I miss this Ted. Back when his music was more intense but he was just a little more chill. He had a very cool laid back way of talking back then and I thought it was super awesome.
Thanks to my 10 year older brothers, I grew up listening to the music of the generation before me. Even though I grew up in the 80s. 60s and 70s rock is my jam.
Thanks so much for this! Loved Ted then and now....🎸
I've said before the biggest stand of amps I'd seen in over a couple dozen concerts was the Ted Nugent comcert and I was lucky enough to be about 10 feet away in front!! My ears rang for days, lmao! God, you gotta love this guy!
Hello Cynthia
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to have you here!
Great interview. AMAZING music break!!!
Ted is a national treasure.
I remember meeting this guy and having him sign my guitar case. Cool dude
I got one even better when I'm at Ted Nugent he signed my tits with his baby gravy!
Watching Ted just sit there and shoot the shit with Dave is Waaay more entertaining than anything that’s out today.
This was one of the coolest things ive watched in a while!
Awesome!! Tk's so much for sharing this legend at work!!..WOW!! Guitar perfection!!
Hello Dwyer
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to have you here!
Man spreading, toxic masculinity & The Motor City Madman...May they all live forever!
jdexposure Man spreading? Is that a real thing? If women had a big set of balls and a dick between their legs they would do it too
There is nothing such thing as toxic masculinity. However, there are many spineless individuals that need to grow up and deal with life !! PERIOD !!
I got bullied and I stood up to it and won ! The PC culture is ruining the world. The only times that I can remember the changing of the language during the last 100 yrs is Nazism and Maoism !! HELLO !!
@@cricket8646 Aren`t the republicans the new Nazis? And Trump is their glorious, mein furhur swinehund!
@@davidpfeifer9489 Why do you fascists want to infiltrate our democratic socialism?
@@drivinsouth651 it is quite backwards. The ones calling others Nazis are the very ones acting like Nazis. Wanting to stamp out anything and everything that does not agree with their ideas/ideology etc. This type of obfuscation is taken directly from "Rules for Radicals" Saul Alinsky who was known as the American Karl Marx. Stating that one should point the finger at another group when the very group they are in or associated with is doing exactly what they say the other is doing. Simply to take the attention off of themselves. I could go on however, I get the feeling that as many do these days I will be treated as the nazis because I have a difference of opinion or political beliefs.
Because it is much easier to stamp out than it is to have a real dialogue.
