Ted was known for having some of the loudest live shows back in the 70s, to the point where he was banned from playing outdoor live concerts in Kansas City. I remember having to work during one of the day long Kansas City "SummerJam" (I think) concerts, I was able to hear Ted's set quite clearly at my home from Kaufman Stadium, about 17 miles away. His stage setup was 6 x 180 watt Fender Super Twins & Dual Showman cabinets (2x12" & 2x15".) The vocalist was Dereck St. Holmes, who was with Ted on his first 3 or 4 solo albums, then they split up, but they came back together a number of times over the years, and they really are a great combination when they're able to get along. Derek has a fantastic voice. The band on those first solo albums was really amazing, with Rob Grange on bass and Cliff Davies on drums. BTW, Meatloaf was brought in for some additional lead vocals on Ted's second solo album, "Free for All!"
I've been listening to Ted Nugent since the mid 1960's with the Amboy Dukes. Their iconic phenomenal hit
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE MIND
features Ted's amazing lead guitar playing. 🤘🔥
I was 16 in 76, went to see him when he came to Texas. Hell of a show. He definitely lived up to his nickname.... Motor City Madman!!!!
My dads the same age as you and he was there
@@angelone1839 we grew up in a great era for sure
I was 17 fix in to be 18 in Dallas , saw a lot of concerts with Ted, he blew the windows out. There was a small place on industrial blvd in Dallas called the electric ballroom, I snuck into when I was 16 ted was just starting and warming up for big bands. This was a small venue and he was the only band , he absolutely smoked..... he went on to the big venues and stardom after that
@@jimmynickels158 yup. Would of been badass to have been there
Oh ya
That hollow body Birdland guitar threw off some serious distortion/feedback! Love it!
That's why Nugent is the only rock guitarist, I think, to use a Byrdland. That hollow body caused massive feedback at higher volumes and distortion. Somehow, he was able to control and use that feedback. On the plus side, the Byrdland has a very short scale length which makes string bending much easier.
Nugent did use a Birdland but he played a Paul Reed Smith with the Damn Yankees.
@@stevedittman5474 Yea, he did. But he doesn't stick to one guitar ever. During a show he will use a Byrdland and a PRS and a Les Paul. He has about 17 or 18 Byrdlands, a few PRSs, Paul keeps giving him new ones, and a few LPs including a '58 and a '59.
@@glqm88 it made sense to me with the PRS and Damn Yankees just to have a different sound attached to his legendary status.

Derek St Holmes imo really makes STRANGLEHOLD....................stranglehold, he and Ted made a great team.
Yeah, Ted didn't like sharing the spotlight with St Holmes and canned him. That was the end of Ted as a top act.
@@jeffmurray1681 His music was never as good without Derek, Nugent is really kind of a A H*** and didn't like the competition, which was all in his head.
My first trip in my time machine goes forward far enough to see the winning numbers of a really huge lottery jackpot.
Second trip is back here.
When I saw Ted Nugent, live and in concert, it was at The University of Michigan's Crisler Arena. When he took the stage, he did so in a loincloth, swinging on a rope from the top of the right side speaker tower. True story.
Thanks for posting. Uncle Ted is amazing! Years ago, I interviewed Ted in his dressing room before a show in Amsterdam, and at the end of our talk he played a few bars from Stranglehold on his famous Byrdland. I’ll never forget that day
I remember Ted, saying at a concert..."this here guitar...can blow the balls off a charging rhino at 50 yards"
50 paces. Live version of Great White Buffalo
60 paces blow the balls off a charging rhino at 60 paces ! Steady big fella !
Double Live Gonzo!!
real american You are correct, was going to say the same thing.
"This here guitar does not play sweet shit!"
Fuck yeah. Love this jam. Oldie but goodie. Great guitar WORK too. Love this song. Right on. Big bad ted
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ted started in a group called Amboy Dukes. He was the guitar player, but quickly out grew his band mates. He was never a great singer, so he would bring in others, after he went solo. His ego would eventually overpower the “front man”, of any band. Ted was an animal, on stage. You may remember him, from his Damn Yankees days, in the late 80’s.
The Damn Yankees were an awesome band! They should react to one of their songs!
Derek has been on and off for years, Free For All album actually featured Meatloaf for half of the album, one of my favorites. Love Derek St Holmes for creating an uncle Ted sound.
Uncle Ted lives on! He's playing in Canton Ohio at the fair this year.
@@stevecontini5386 yes. I live in Massillon
Great work and thanks for your production on Stranglehold, Simply BADASS!
Saw him in concert when I was in high school. This song is always on my play list. Rock on
Derek St Holmes is back with uncle Ted
Homes was never the backup singer
Back for the upcoming tour? I sure hope so, I am going to two shows.
Yeah, Derek was a fantastic vocalist, too bad when Ted began to really take over all the lead vocals. Because he's not that good, more of a screamer, screecher and yeller.
Derek left the band for a long time but last time I checked, he is back singing for Ted
he is
I understand the same thing. In fact he left the band after I saw Ted back in May of 1978, Sammy Hagar, in his "Red Rocket" days post Montrose, was the second opener.
Uncle Ted! Hell yes!
You guys are so amazing. I just love the way you look at each other.
When I was 8 years old this came out. My uncle that was 15, would get high with his buddies in the loft of his parents house. So, when I would be there I became the DJ. I always Cranked this album at full blast! That's when I got the nickname "Little Nuge" from them. Then, they would send me to get their "munchies". Lol. It's funny, they never asked me for the change. You folks are awesome to watch. Keep rockin'!
Found tiss by watching your tutorial. That was more helpful to me than you could know. Thanks.
Ted Nugent lives in Waco, TX, which is where I live but he's been hunting here in central Texas for decades. I grew up getting to see him in local concerts all the time. In late 80s early 90s he did all the singing himself but a few years back he reunited with Derek St. Homes who was his original singer on this song and his first several albums as the Ted Nugent band. FunFact On Free For All album in 76, part of that album was recorded with Meatloaf.
Saw Nugent in Fresno,Ca in 1980. I was in the 3rd row back in front of the stage and it was so loud that I couldn't literally hear anything for 3 days. Found out for sure why he's called the Motor City Madman. Great show. He tore it up for sure.
thanks for the Nuge reaction! great as always you two..and grats on the new place..#coheed and cambria # welcome home. since you now live in a new home..
I went to see Ted at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1976. What a show...
This is the 1 Nugent song that the Studio Version is Definitely better - Mainly cause of the Killer Bass in the Studio and the different effects Drum Effects
No body Rocks like good old uncle Ted. Axe master if you get chance to see him live. Do it. He will blow you away!!!!
Good old 70's tunes I was 6 when this came out wow.
Yet another reason to believe the 70's was without doubt the best era for rock music!
sorry, I would rather listen to glam bands than disco.. lol
Don't forget the Amboy Dukes!
Journey to the Center of Your Mind!
Love this channel!fun stuff.ive seen uncle ted live he's very good..love from Oklahoma #scorpions #the sails of charn would be cool
Seeing uncle Ted and the Who in '76 is why I have 60% hearing loss in my left ear. No regrets!
I WAS AT THIS SHOW at the Springfield Coliseum , Mass in 1976 , I turned 18 on June 6 1976!! TED was GREAT!! 🔥🎸😁!!
Seen uncle Ted live a couple different times and man what an incredible awesome badass show!!!! My head was pounding after both shows and the only headache I’ve ever had that was worth it!!!!! Love your guys reaction videos
Motor City Madman!
You guys Rock!
Aloha from Makakilo Hawaii!
Mahallo, Brother!!
This was recorded in a little TV studio in Cologne ,Germany for the show ROCKPALAST
I was living in Germany at the time and can remember seeing it. Well, some of it. As soon as my dad walked in and saw Ted on the TV and it got switched over!
Derick St Holms lead vocals and rhythm guitar for Uncle Ted on and off for some 45 years now. A bit of trivia... Ted Nugent sold more concert tickets in the 1970’s than any other ROCK act! I saw him live in ‘77 and it was epic. Thanks for the great video!
Saw him in Chicago, in 1980... couldn't hear for a week... I was 7th row from right speakers....luv it...
Thanks! Great reaction, as usual. You both look like kids in a candy store when you hear great guitar play.
Great track i managed to bump into Ted Nugent in 2005,when i was out in Michigan visiting my sister.we went to a country fare near Manistee and mr nugent was there walking around and enjoying the fare,didnt speak to him but got a nod back it was cool enough.
I remember as a kid buying "cat scratch fever when i was at school.his axe playing is hardcore string smashing greeeaaaat!
Requet time again.
Seeing as you liked the 2 guitars playing i thought you might like some brilliant double guitar work fron Thin Lizzie ...

🍻
Fantastic stuff!!!!!
friggin awesome..thanks kel-n-rich
I met Ted... "The Motor City Madman" back in 1979, California World Music Festival at the LA Colosseum back stage. He did a 30 minute
"STRANGLEHOLD" on over 100,000 people at one time. Got his autograph on a T-shirt
Saw Uncle Ted at Baltimore's Civic Center in '78 and his opening act was Van Halen. Was deaf for about a week after that one. On a side note, a few years back, a commercial came on for Nissan and was really paying attention until it hit my head that the music was 'Stranglehold'. Only saw that commercial once.
I saw Nugent live twice in like '79 and '80. Always kicks ass. Those were his loin cloth days. He had never ending energy running and jumping all over the stage. Never drank or did drugs. You should check him out while he was in the Amboy Dukes. Completely different look and sound. This one is from 1968. Damn he is old. "Journey to the center of the mind". ua-cam.com/video/MiFZ_JWKVwE/v-deo.html
Loved the Amboy Dukes and Stranglehold and 2nd album - but, the loin cloth years were an embarrassment!! Ted went from cool to FOOL. However,Mr. Nugent could always sling that guitar!!
I’ve seen Nugent in concert more times than any other band. I blame the hearing loss in my right ear on Nugent. Back in the 70’s all concert tickets were General Admission, which meant if you had the fortitude to fight (not literally) your way through the crowd, you could experience the concert standing next to the stage...and the speakers. Nugent’s concerts were way louder than anybody else’s concerts, and I have the hearing loss to prove it. When I left a Nugent concert my ears would literally be numb, which is a very strange feeling. Once the numbness wore off the next day, my ears would ring for 3 more days. I was obviously too young and dumb to wear earplugs. 😏
This sure brings back memories, I was 16 years old when I saw Ted Nugent in 1977 at what was called Superjam rock festival in St Louis ( at Busch Stadium now gone) there were several other bands, REO Speedwagon, Judas Priest, etc. Ted was called the Motor city madman at the time, his stage entrance was riding a Harley motorcycle onto the stage. When he came out 100s of people stood up and cheered through his whole concert, when he played Stranglehold the crowd was insane.
....my brother had a few 'Nuge' vinyl back in the day; and I never saw LIVE 'Nuge'. This is kinda awesome!! Very crisp, clear, electric.......
Black Sabbath “The Writ” is a cool song you should check out when you both have the time!
The year I was born! Year of the Dragon!
Motor City Madman, King of the Jungle. Uncle Ted in his prime. He and Derek and the band were straight fire🌋🔥💥
Derek st. Holmes was lead vocals Ted sung many other songs as well but the primarily vocalist was Derek providing vocals on multiple albums however Ted would occasionally bring in different vocalist such as meatloaf , Charlie Huhn , Bryan Howe on later albums Ted brought back Derek st. Holmes find me Spirit of the wild LP and did a long tour of the album. Ted's best work was with Derek st. Holmes !
wow
Waiting to see one from the Nug rock on.
I first saw Ted @ the Indy State Fairgrounds colluseum in 1975. Some concerts just get burned into your brain and just stay there.It was a makeup show for me 'cause I didn't get to go to the 1974 show where he did guitar "battles" with Mike Pinera of Iron Butterfly.
i love the bass licks in this song...gotta real groove to it
Derrick St. Holmes is a Great lead vocalist. He was there in the beginning, left for a while to do solo stuff, then came back to Uncle Ted.
Someone should've sent you the link to " Double Live Gonzo " for this song ...Probably the second or third best live record ever made .
I was there for that show. Stranglehold was the only good performance that night. Ted had an off night, which is why only one song from that show made it to the album.
I totally agree with with you about DOUBLE LIVE GONZOs. Stranglehold it's one of the first CDs that I bought and tried to blow out my quad speaker system with it
The singer was Derek St Holmes. He worked with Ted from 1975 through 1978. He split in 1979 for a solo career.
Derek was in a band called Scott prior to teaming up with Ted. Scott’s drummer Brian (who lived across the street from us in the ‘70s) joined Derek and became members of Ted’s band. Local boy hits the big time! Saw them play in ‘76 at Cobo Hall in Detroit loudest concert ever, with exploding flash pots that had the concussion equivalent of a stick of dynamite!!
One of my favorite songs from Ted Nugent!!♥️
The triple G of Rock n Roll. Guts, guns, and glory, now boys and girls, can you say Sweaty Teddy?
Yay you're playing the NUG, sweet
I saw him in Stockholm (Sweden) in 1976. I was 15 years old. It was one of the best concerts I've seen. After that we played in my band several covers of Ted's songs
Hey,I'll contribute a few quid to your time machine project Kel lol.I never got to see Ted Nugent but would love to travel back to around 78' to see him on his Cat Scratch Fever tour.I've got his Double Live Gonzo album and it's in my top 5 best live albums of all time.The guy was a fucking force of nature.
Wang Dang Sweet Poontang from Double Live Gonzo has one of the greatest solos ever.
Wang Dang Sweet Poontang from Live in Hammersmith is even better
because nobody came to be a little bit mellow now did ya?
Yeah! I love that video!! I think it was Teds first time in Germany, when he and the band have played in the german tv-show "Rock Palast" - Nobody has known him in Germany at the time in 1976. It must have been very, very loud in the tv-studio.
I remember, I've seen this tv-show together with a friend and we both were totally excited about this really crazy guy.
One of the many things I love about music and specifically GREAT songs is that often the listener can remember where they were and what they were doing when they first heard it along with their reaction. This is very similar to big historical events such as (for people our age Kel n Rich) when the space shuttle Challenger exploded, 9/11 etc...I first heard this song while streaming Pandora in my bedroom doing some cleaning. I literally froze during the guitar solo. I was only half listening as I was cleaning and just had the music playing in the background but the music just grabbed me that much! A few days later I had a similar experience with Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
I saw Ted in 1978 in Duluth, MN and he was the best!
there's a tribute band in England called Ned Tugent,lol.
For some reason I am thinking of Kiss I wanna rock and roll all night and party everyday. I think it's the era.
Played this song at all our parties. Seen h live and he was Amazing!
I love the bass in this just a great groove
I was born in 63 just came out 76 not trying to insult you you guys look older than me I smoked my first joint cat scratch fever money came out smoked ever cents I think it pickled me love rock ‘n’ roll it just touches your soul God bless everybody have aWonderful life
Uncle Ted is 70+ and STILL rockin'!!!!
I saw ted in 1978 and in 2000. His shows have so much energy. And he never stops soloing amazing guitar player.
Ted Nugent performing "Stranglehold" live at NAMM 2010 for PRS Guitars - Wow great Version!!
Uncle Ted!!!! Big love. We listened to your album every DAY back in the day!
I saw him in 76 or 77 in Portland OR at the Paramount Theater. He had no opening act but he played all the first album and a couple from Cat Scratch Fever his upcoming album. Freakin great concert. He still holds the record of 8 hours before I could hear again.
Sweaty Teddy The Motor City Mad Man thanks for the memories brought me back youth when I saw him live
Shalom achi! Love your Hebrew!
luv you guys. and uncle ted!
I remember when Ted was on Midnight Special I was digging it and my uncle walked and says " what is that"? hahaaha ted hair flying everywhere , I missed his Texas Jam show I went in 79 I think when Van Halen had their first album out but always wanted to see Ted flyin around in his loin clothe hell yeah awesome
Saw them in ‘76... Ted came out in loin cloth flying thru the air on a rope screaming like a crazed animal...so fucking crazy, couldnt hear for 3 frickin days..unreal...Stranglehold and Great White Buffalo stills blows my minddddddd....Peace n Rock On
One of my first concerts. Uncle Ted was awesome.When done he left his guitar reverberating in front of an amp forever...the place was shaking, Then he came out and did this for an encore... my friends ears were literally bleeding by this point, no joke, blood was streaming down his neck. Awesome show!
You should do a reaction of some of Ted's live stuff from his Damn Yankees years in the late 80's early 90's. Ted became more of an 80's style shredder while with the Damn Yankees. Tommy Shaw from Styx was also in that band.
Also Jack Blades from Nightranger.
LOL
Until they grew apart and Ted started shooting flaming arrows into the amps and other various pieces on stage.
Love Uncle Ted...good man...truth teller. Amazing touch he’s always had. This song was him telling the industry that he’s got them in a stranglehold and there’s nothing they can do about it...the mans in his seventies and looks 50....never touch a drop of alcohol, or any drugs.
He also claims his family has not bought any meat from a store since '68. I believe him, he is an avid hunter of coarse, and stocks his land in Texas with game and forage for them, culling the herd as he goes! What meat they do not use, he donates to the hungry.
Super fan!!!
Derek St.Holmes is the singer. He has been in the band off and on over the 'DECADES'. I have seen Ted 3 times in a small venue here in Boise, Idaho. There is no Stop in him. He ROCKED THE HOUSE! You get the chance you must go and see him.
It is nice to see someone loving that raw Ted. I remember when it first came out. I wish someone could have captured my face with a picture or a video. Ted was the man. Great memories.
I seen Ted a few times of the years his excellent musician he bring a lot of great energy to the shows Great showman!👍👍🎸😎
Derek St. Holmes sang lead on this. later Ted said I am singing the lead. He didn't like attention others got and said i am alpha male and I will sing the hits
Actually he kept having to let bandmembers go because Ted doesn't drink or do rugs and his players kept losing their edge. Live he always gave major kudos to his crew.
Yeah I've seen him many times saying let's show some love for my guys. I remember seeing him one night in Lakeport .ca with several bands including Quiet Riot.
@@amorodioamor4388 with Randy Rhoads??
Yeap, Derek was gorgeous. Had all my attention. Lol
I did see them with Randy, but the concert I am talking about was Carlos. I think it was at a time that Kevin was on a really low salary rate battling some issues before his death.
Saw him in summer 1975 Salem Va. municipal auditorium played Cat scratch fever in an encore ...new song and album fyi The concert was my first and AWESOME !!!
I have probably seen Ted Nugent 20 times. He is 70 years old and still doing concerts. His concerts are still amazing, tough he doesn't jump off amplifiers anymore. But you go to his oncert, you'll have fun.
Always want to hear some Peter Frampton 'Do you feel like we do? ' ...after listening to Ted.
Derrick St Holmes was pretty bad ass in his own right as well. They were killer together!!
I've seen Uncle Ted live three times. Great live show.
You guys have to see "Hibernation" from that same concert. Saw Uncle Ted back in 1980 or 81 with Blackfoot. My ears rang for two days.
Have you seen The Forbidden Zone? Your dress is almost exactly like the Queen of the Underground
Love it.
My first concert when I was 13! Ted came flying into the arena on a Tarzan rope, wearing nothing but a loincloth! Best entrance I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a LOT of concerts in my 52 years!!
Never heard of this guy,Holy shit there good.
Ted Nugent also had Meat Loaf singing a few songs on his ‘Free For All’ album as well... loved how Meat Loaf sounded
I had that album and loved it. Was disappointed when he didn't do any of the best songs live. No one knew who Meat Loaf was at the time.
