Ted Nugent on Letterman early 80's (Part 2 of 2) - Guns, Hunting & Stranglehold
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This is part 2 of my personal recording of Ted on David Letterman from the early 80's where they talk guns and Ted plays a Stranglehold intro to a jam with Paul Shaffer's band. 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 today. Even way back then, Ted had something to say about guns, media, rock and roll and, of course, himself. 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 noise. 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 and I doubt you'll see it anywhere but here.
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.
We need more TED talks like these.
Lol. Yes. Ted on TED. We should see that
Go to his channel you'll find all kinds of crazy ted talks.
Uncle TED talks; still as awesome today as they were then.
Just think if N.Y. had no gun control. Ted is pure Rock n Roll but his gun defense point is mute.
Ted has stayed true to himself over many years. What an interesting and impressive guy. It seemed like Letterman was a bit uncomfortable next to someone so genuine
Posers, celebrities, and various assorted wimps get uncomfortable around educated people who speak with authority.
Nugent has an ego but quite an amazing guy. He's not God or anything. He's human. Praise is nice to a point. Letterman at this time was practicing his own kind of Carson persona but perhaps more behaved to the wants of NBC. He got more comfortable on screen later and more daring. So I think Letterman was well behaved here.
@@NoOne-kr4jc And not uncomfortable. He is reacting to Ted to make Ted shine. Letterman is a showman and it's not about Letterman, its about Ted as his guest.
@@ToniHunterOne You don't think it can be arguable that early Letterman is more uncomfortable than later Letterman who was more comfortable to saying what he wanted? I mainly am talking with the comfort _within_ Letterman rather than the comfort within _us_ looking at him.
DEIDRA, DAVID IS A TYPICAL HOLLYWOOD STYLE LIBERAL LOON! SCREW THOSE PERVERTS!
He hasn’t changed a bit since then. Just saw him on Joe Rogan. With all the Flip floppers out there it’s good to see someone that is consistently true to himself!
Ted is the type of neighbor i want for backup. One of the most talented rock artists around.
Me too. I'll take him anyday over a liberal. You know no one will mess with you having him as a neighbor...
Just saw him 2 days ago at the Keswick in Philly. 74 yo
and he still kicked ass. Thank you Uncle Ted. You still rock the house.
When Ted spoke about the concert at Arrowhead, it is all true. I live about 5 miles from it, and you could hear him playing as plain as day. There were many, many complaints about the volume, but the concert went on.
Those were not complaints to turn it down but complaints to turn it UP !
That's so awesome.
The younger generation that haven't looked into uncle Ted's background, don't know how well read, well educated this guy is.
Let em fly Ted!!!
Back in the early 80's, I thought Ted Nugent was way cooler than David Letterman. 30 years later, I've come to the same conclusion; Ted Nugent is way cooler than David Letterman!
Who ever thought Letterman was cool?
@@danthurston5264 Letterman
I agree... LOL... maybe its the space in between Letterman's teeth or something...
@@candlestickproductions6950 are maybe the space in between his ears thats empty
He is a great guy in person as well. A friend one can count on! Honest great guy!
See, somehow back in the 70's and 80's, we all still got along, because, no matter if democrat or republican, we still had rock'n'roll in common and deep down we knew that made us americans.
Thanks for this upload Rebecca, it's a pure joy to watch Ted talk & play.
Thank you for that! I saw Ted play 45 years ago, in 1978, at Cal Jam 2. He arrived on stage in typical Ted style. It’s no big deal when a performer arrives in a helicopter, but Ted threw his own spin on things…. by showing up swinging from a long rope, attached to the helicopter skids! No shoes, no shirt, no helmet…. just his white pants and raccoon tail. The copter buzzed over my head, circling around the raceway a few times, until it eventually lowered him right onto the stage. The 350,000 friends that I brought along were quite pleased as well!! 🎸 😁
WOW.... Thank you for this. Ted Nugent is such a great guy for this country and for his music. It's so great to see what he said yesterday, he still says today. Ted truly believes in what he talks about. A real stand up guy. Thanks again Rebecca.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@beckaboard Ditto for me! Had to say THANK YOU... for digitizing uploading ..one can tell you are a true fan and is a labor of love..by a fan, for fans of Ted!
Uncle Ted rocks!!! Highly gifted with talent and intelligence! God bless uncle Ted!!!
Its so weird. They disagreed with his politics but still cheered to hear him play music. Its almost like back then they didn't demonize you for not having the same opinion.
I live south of Waco Texas about 70 miles. Ted lives on a ranch there and I'd love to meet him someday. I've loved his music since I first heard him back in '76. I also am a 2nd amendment supporter and enjoy his comments about gun control and how useless it is, especially in big cities where crime runs rampant. Go TED and keep on rockin'.
Ted is a down to earth friend not to sold on himself to wave hello when he passes in his limo
He was so ahead of the times and still relevant today
Man, Ted dominates the interview. He's sprawled out over Dave's desk. He's quite a personality.
Ted has never been short on words :) Thank you, these were a great treat for me.
I am pleased and /or surprised how well he seems to speak. Maybe I'm just being closed-minded but I would be afraid that years of all the stuff that comes with the rock and roll lifestyle would have 'slowed his wits' but jokes on me! --The man seems to have a good head on his shoulders. :-)
I've said it before but I'd like to see him & David Lee Roth in a closed room for 8 hours.
@@chivalryalive Ted didn't drink or do drugs but he had to fire many band mates over the years.
Ahh the good old days when gun owning NRA members weren't demonized 😈😈😈
Back when mass shootings weren’t rampant
@Tony Lasagna lmao i love teds music but he's straight up heavily misrepresenting data here. This is a classic rightwing talking point, that conservatives have been recycling for literal decades. Go ahead and google "US population density" you'll notice that millions more people live in cities, so it's is literally a given that theres going to be more gun violence in cities. "BuT ChiCagO hAs sTriCt gUn LaWs anD thE MOST gun VioLeNce" Chicago isn't its own isolated country, you can literally drive across state lines, buy a gun and drive back. If we had more gun control at the federal level this problem could be reduced substantially
@@nickevans8990 yet the largest school killing in US history was done with dynamite.
@@nickevans8990 , wrong. You mean back before gun grabbing wasn't exploited as a garbage political weapon.
@@thechuube8442 , way to argue against yourself. Self-owning comedy gold! Lol!
Ted has been calling out woke wimps longer than I've been alive. Rock on, brother.
If you want high crime in your city then be sure to elect a Democrat for mayor.
Most Cities Are Run By Democrats Therefore There Are More Crimes Under Democrat Leadership Because There Are More People Living In All The Democratic Cities Than All The Republican Cities...
@@FastED1988 which proves his point get ride of Democrats and replace them with republicans and what about the large cities run by republicans that have literal half the crime rate? You failed to mention that you said most but didn’t want to give Creedence to his claim by admitting there’s roughly as many large cities ran by republicans yet the crime rate is a least 50 percent lower and doing actual research into what your talking about it’s your party’s inability to actually make real change for the better and are guided by feelings instead of intellect dude your literally in the matrix you need it to exist
TRUER WORDS ON UA-cam WERE NEVER WRITTEN.
@@FastED1988 So, by your logic implies more people means more crime - by numbers maybe - but NOT by percentage. YOUR wording "RATE" means the data is based on "percentages". Try again lib snowflake.
@@91dodgespiritrt Yes The Rate/Percentage Is What You Must Look At And NOT The Total Crimes Under Each!!!
I was a teenager in the late 70s ..... played Nugent on my 8-track so much thought it would catch fire !!!
Put Uncle TED in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame where he belongs!!!
Rebecca, THANK YOU for following through on this! Great show! Ted is ALWAYS great to watch and listen to. He was SO tongue-in-cheek over the top that it was just great to watch and do the inside chuckles.
we love the constituion and bill of rights! we love ted nugent! and we love president trump!
Your statement is an oxymoron.
@@drivinsouth651 Better than being just a moron like you.
Yes We do...even those that say they don't....they just don't know any better at the moment.
Goofball
thanks Rebecca for posting this,of course theres always some pea brains that have to post negative comments
^^^ what folden said. Thanks Rebecca, this was awesome.
@@Iatolaazzahola Yeah, what you cats said! Thanks!
PEACE from Philadelphia
Saw Uncle Ted w/ the Amboy Dukes with Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush at the Masonic Temple in Detroit in the early 70s. I still can't hear as well. What a night. Thanks for sharing this Rebecca. You Rock!
Thanks, Dave D! I was just a kid sister who was brainwashed to hate disco and love rock n roll. It worked!
Ted is surely one of the top 10 greatest guitarists ever and had some of the best rifs ever
When I was a young pup, I cut my teeth on every lick Ted ever recorded... thanks for uploading this... Letterman steered the convo right into a gun battle... in case no on knows... Letterman is a true blue diehard liberal... I did notice that back then Ted was a but toned down... but he was being harrased (IMHO) by Letterman on the gun issue...
Hey, HUGE thanx for posting these. I just found them and it was a great trek down memory lane. I remember watching this episode! Great stuff!!!
Rebecca Lowe, again, Thanks for posting!
You're welcome!
... ya gotta love how he's just sittin next to Dave ... jammin.
Hey Rebecca ... Thanks for putting this on UA-cam. It brings back a lot of good memories.
The crowd was so quiet. Hilarious. I. Love. That.
Love me some Ted!!! Seen him play in concert 6-7 times and he was never disappointing! 🎸🎶💫🎸🎶💫🎸🎶💫🎸🎶💫🎸🎶💫
TED FOR PRESIDENT !!!
Scott Cozart -🌈👍💪👩💼🤠. Yes . & Chuck Norris for Vice President .
As soon as Trump's second term is over!
@@bunkman64 I thought we were gonna stop having elections since trump was in we don’t need another president beside trump he gave us time to prepare for these liberals hostile take over
Ted was so far ahead of his time! Talk about intelligent talented and genuine!
I was a little kid during his popular streak but I remember him and had sister and cousins that played his tunes to which i remembered once I was older and listened to him as a teenager and still do! Nothing like blasting a Ted Nugent jam while at work! Coolest dude around!
Love it, I follow and watch alot of Ted on Fb and UA-cam. Love his attitude towards the issues that keep getting worse.
Great upload! I was going to get some tin foil for the rabbit ears, then I realized that was 4 decades ago! Wish I had all my VHS TV tapes from back then... actually I think I only owned one, and would rerecord everything over and over on it on Long Play, until it was unviewable. Great Memories, thank you Rebecca!
MrJeffacide - so glad you liked it. I hope you saw part 2 as well. It wouldn’t let me do the whole segment in one piece back when I uploaded it. Good memories!
Best interview Dave ever had, that I have seen. Ted!!!
I was a big Ted Nugent fan in the late 70's early 80's and still am. I was in high school then and wasn't very politically aware at the time . My parents who were devout liberals (and still are) liked Jonny Carson and David Letterman but wouldn't let us stay up late to watch them.
My parents were worried that I was listening to Ted ,Kiss, and southern rock as well as country. I didn't know the media bias back then, but it was sure on display with Letterman and his studio audience.
Ted was right then as he still is today! Keep rocking Ted,and speaking the truth! Shame on you David Letterman and the whole liberal media.
One the greatest guitar players ever to walk the face of the Earth hands down in any life time or any music genre ever
Not only the most talented guy in the room, the most intelligent as well. Everything he said about anti gun lobbyists is still true 40 years later. Loved the wimps comments and the fact Paul Schaeffer actually had hair!
Thanks again for uploading this, and keeping Comments on! God Bless Our Free America! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸 Love You Uncle Ted.
IN LUUUUUUV🤷🏻♀️🙌😍🙌😍🙌😍my God he sat there & KILLED IT ON HIS GUITAR!!!💪💪💪
Thanks for the post. 👍
I've never seen this before.
Gotta love the magic of UA-cam.
Thanks UA-cam, for bringing me here.
Rebecca Lowe, thank you for this it was great to watch!
Wild that I found this! I was at the taping of this show. Long time Ted fan here!
One of the true masters of the Guitar
Ted... sits in a chair next to Dave... OWNS the stage! Motor City Mad Man...😂🤣😂🤣
I never knew much about Ted Nugent, but he is right on the money about guns and the information that the media puts out about it.
I saw Ted at the House of Blues in L.A. back in 1999. At one point, his son brought a guitar out to him (as he had just set his other one on fire with a flaming arrow). As his son walked off, Ted look at him and commented at what a good boy he was. Then reiterated, saying "yeah, he's a good boy. I'm gonna buy him a new gun". This was shortly after a shooting in the city at a Jewish Community Center. A couple in front of me had a fit. Ted definitely liked to stir it up.
♡♡♡the Snow , that came from the old UHF !!!
TY#2 Rebecca Lowe. Love the Patriots out there!!
I’ve seen him in concert 4 times. One of my heroes
I met Ted in Portland Maine after a show there. He lived up to his rep that night, great show. He asked me and my friends if we were “The insane from Portland Maine?” I’m guessing that was a tag line he’d use. One of his band mates was a colossal douche, he signed my friends ticket “Ted Nugent” and he had the attitude that went with “his I’ve got no time for this”. Ted appreciated our fandom, even if his band mate didn’t. Ted later after meeting him was showing off and almost ran over someone walking by when he peeled out driving a “rented limo” backwards, oddly enough considering his backwards driving story. My mom had met him years earlier and said he was full of testosterone then too. In short, I had a great night and met Ted, he escaped hurting anyone unintentionally, no arrests at that moment anyways, haha
So good on guns & guitar!..🙏🏽🇺🇸💥
Why did I go to four of his concerts? Because he is that damn good!
Ted Nugent has been a great activist for the right to keep and bear arms.
Ted is still rockin' in '22
Thx for this iv Ben a Ted fan since the 70s
HELL YES...………..this how its done kids...…………..
Thanks for sharing Rebecca. All the best & stay well !!!
@rebecca Lowe. Yes Ted has something to say about guns, but that's after Dave started on him on his soap box and then bailed when Ted was stating facts. I'm a fan of both
thanks for posting this Rebecca
Im so glad I grew up with my dad listening to Uncle Ted!!! This was filmed a few years before I was born but man I love Uncle Ted!!!!
Ted has been saying it like it is for a long time
what a man and talented musician,hope he gets in the rock and roll hall of Fame soon
I hope he doesn't, or if they decided to induct him that he would turn it down.
The Rock and Roll HoF is one of the phoniest organizations there is!
Pretty much only leftie, commie kooks allowed in there... the one exception the Canadian Gods of Rock, Rush.
Thank you for uploading this. Ted Nugent, man, rocker, and all round good guy. Always love seeing anything to do with Ted, now with lockdown again in UK, I am going to have to get a byrdland and my old amps out and crank it up for stranglehold.
Appreciate you recording this and that you got it on here. Will subscribe to you for whatever other hidden gems you may have. Hope your 2021 and your family’s also are surrounded in love, happiness, success and amazing times.
Uncle Ted!! I love this.
Guns are not the killers people are.
I'd rather watch this in glorious 240i with tracking issues than any modern woke show. Thanks for posting this gem.
Uncle Ted, the motor city madman, loves his cars and guitAR's. Wang dang sweet poontang! Woooo!!!! Luv u Ted!
One person booed today they all would've booed
100% FRIGGIN LEGEND!!!!
UNCLE TED IS A REAL MAN AND A MANS MAN!!! Something these friggin awesome candy ass fruit flies of today cannot even comprehend!!!!
Also, thank you for dusting off the VHS tape and uploading it. I still have a few myself.
That is just wild wacky stuff, awesome I think Uncle Ted put Letterman in his place just a little bit
Ted Nugent...such a truly wholesome guy.
God bless you for taking me back to a better time.
Thanks for posting this. I missed that airing [work] & as such, only heard about it.
I graduated HS in '78 & as hand reached for diploma, buds at top hollered "Gonzo!" & "Nugent!"
It'd been a quiet & polite ceremony 'til then. ;)
Ted has never slowed, just ripened on the vine. Amazing 👏
Really Really Hard to come by that Kinda Well rounded Talent
Ted is smart, articulate, and contrary to most beliefs that rock and rollers all do drugs, Ted has never, and enjoys his clear thought while plying his trade. Ted Nugent 2024 🇺🇸
This is the interview from the parallel universe we were in before we got shot into this new one. That's why the quality is so low, it's been recovered from the other universe
Ted is so cool. Saw him once in the 70's
Ted has always been a class act !
I'm just more interested in hearing him talk about music not guns or hunting. I'm not against that either
Dude is so real ...love it !!
Uncle Ted! Always liked him, still do!
Ted signed my t-shirt “Ted,” Peaches Records, Hollywood, California when I was a Cat Scratch Fever disciple. Still
Am. Rock on Ted. I’ll be playing Stranglehold until my last days!
Winning never goes out of style.
One of my heroes!
You gotta love how when he was asked a serious political question .The subject was changed right back to music once they figured out how smart he actually was about the topic .
Ted Bear walk with me down that rock n roll trail agian take me back, back where i belong.....on the front row at a nugent concert in the 80s!
Ted is badass..I saw him in concert in my youth..this fucking dude is all about rocking that guitar..he was the first person I ever heard talk about being a vegan..no drugs no alcohol straight getting high on life..he is right..if you choose to collect guns to go hurt food for your friends and family like he has been doing to this day..I'm all over it..guns don t kill..idiots with guns kill..like him or not..this is the real ted 24/7..he is what real men used to be..we need to get it back and not let a piece of ass dictate what a man is suppose to be..we know who we are. Rock on ted.
Coolest tv band ever, esp with sitting Ted.
Did notice Dave's signal to change the subject from guns by his producer but Ted was correct and still is today!
That was a excellent playing by ted on Strangle hold wow man awesomeness. He was at the height of his ability then for sure.
I love Ted he is our uncle after all
Got to love a fine engineered fire arm. Also got to love custom cut meat, no chemicals, no steroids. You know every step of the butchering process, so noone else has their hands in your food.
Spitting out truth, facts and backing it up with hot licks. Gotta love Ted
