Hugely underrated rock and roller. Ted Nugent. One of the great rockers of his time. Songs like wang dang sweet poontang and cat scratch fever as well as great buffalo just to name a few are timeless rock songs.
Ted had a 5 year run in the late 70’s/Early 80’s when he was one of the biggest live acts in the world. You don’t headline Texas Jam with Aerosmith and not be a titan!
So, I was in the mall food court, yea we still have a mall sort of, anyway there was a young couple and they were ordering smoothies from some all natural store. The girl asked, " what is the Wang Dang Sweet Fruitang?" I lost it. I didn't have the balls to tell them what and where that originated. Funny...
Saw Teddy back in 1976 at the Portland Oregon Memorial Coliseum. He and his band blew the doors off to heaven and hell and back... Ted Nugent is and was an excellent gutarist and showman. Smart and funny are a bonus.
The Judges are Jealous of Ted Nugent!! Nugent belongs in his own Hall Of Fame Over And Above Every Rocker that ever lived!! Ted is beyond Epic. It can't be measured in this world or in the Lifetime!! 👍👍😁
I remember listening to Double Live Gonzo and Kiss Alive a bunch way back in the late 70’s. Got to be the greatest era of music ever. We were so blessed to have come up back then.
@Little Neutrino Ted's entire show at the Monsters of Rock Oakland '79 concert is worth the watch, too. AC/DC and Aerosmith opened, Ted closed as the main act and he was obviously a stronger live act than the other bands.
He is one of the few who's music sounds as good live as in the studio. I was lucky enough to see him once. REO Spudwagion was the headliner. he totally stole the show.
"And finally, Weekend Update would like to congratulate Madonna, who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last Monday. The baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces making it the forth largest object ever to pass through Madonna's birth canal." Norm MacDonald
I got the privilege of seeing this awesome talent . It was an outdoor venue and a four band line up. Slaughter, Night Ranger and one other before Ted went on. He lit a guitar on fire, someone threw it into the air and he fired an arrow into it before it hit the ground. The place lost it. A great show.
Probably would have been the rock never stops Tour. Quiet Riot was the other band. What a show I saw it in Tampa and had front row seats. I caught the drumstick from the Slaughter drummer and still have it
@@phitownhustler4802 No, I looked it up finally. It was Damn Yankees. I saw Quiet Riot with Sammy Hagar. I think...I have been to hundreds of shows and some of them get blended together in my head. I know what bands I have seen, but the combination of who opened and the headliner is where I get squirrely
if you ever saw him live back then I bet it was one of the loudest and greatest shows you ever saw! I saw him at the notre dame campus on this tour and my ears rang for three days! but it was worth it!
Saw him in the 1970’s at the Hollywood Sportatorium! One of the best live shows I have ever seen and I went to hundreds and hundreds of shows! Back then it was like $12.00 for a concert ticket and $6.00 for a t-shirt! The good old days. Nugent rocked! At the end of the show he took his bow and arrow and lit the arrow on fire and shot it at a target way high up over the back of the stage! I’ll never forget how good he was
Ready Sweaty Teddy..... Motor City Mad Man.... This song alone should put him in the HOF.... But he is way stronger than one song. 50 years, 5,000 live shows, Stranglehold, Cat Scratch, Wango Tango, Center of the Mind, Not the GOAT but definitely an all time GREAT.
Ted Nugent - Lead guitar and vocals Derek St. Holmes - Guitar and vocals Rob Grange - Bass Cliff Davies(RIP) - Drums The absolute best line-up Ted EVER had!!!👍
My mom had my copy of Cat Scratch and was looking at the songs. She said " What the hell is this?Joey, do you know what a poontang is?" I said "Yeah it means rock and roll!" Had no clue but in a few short years I figured it out!
Damn..that 61' Gibson Byrdland sound! Those guitars are notorious for feedback however Nugent is unmatched at controlling it and even incorporating it into his playing and sound.
As one of the previous comments said..and I couldn’t agree more 🎸the R&R hall of fame should immediately vote the motor city madman in. I think Strangelhold is one of the great rock songs ever ✌🏼
He has made it clear that he understands that the HOF is a joke that inducts people who are far from rock and roll and that it has no credibility. He has said that he would not accept induction, and he’s right.
A girl I know got me a backstage pass and.I met Ted for a couple hours in '88 after a concert. Before we went back, Ted's road manager said Ted was sick and had a 104 degree temp. I asked Ted if he was sick when he went onstage and I'll never forget his well-articulated response that included the "natural medicine of Rock and Roll" and a lesson about being self-employed and keeping commitments. I was 19 and I honestly didn't expect Ted to be nearly as intelligent, kind, and grounded as he is. I met Ted again at an NRA event in St. Louis in 2003.
Guitar Player i had friend Tom Williams who has since passed away, but his favorite rock story encounter was when he ran into Ted in the men’s room at some California amp theatre, he says i’m pulled up to the urnal & who pulls up next to him in next urnal, Ted Fuckin Nugent, my buddy says, i don’t want to make eye contact ( mens room etic lol ) but he knows he is never gonna get the chance again so he asks Ted, “ Sir i know you get a lot of stupid questions about guitar, being a rock star, i would’nt take up your time in a mens room with that trivial bullshit, but i do have one question for you? Ted, Go for what cha know, ( right off a Pat Travers album) Tom asks what do you think of a 357 magnum. Ted “That’s a damn fine ladies gun” one of my fav stories
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a complete FARCE without Ted.45 years of my life I been blessed with Ted an old guitar and a tube amp.ROCK ON !!! Thank you
Dude. When Elvis Costello and Madonna made it in there while Rush and Ted were still out here rocking peoples faces off with no recognition at all, the Hall of Fame became just a cheap nasty 50 cent whore. Just like the Nobal Peace Prize. It was once something sacred. Now damn near everyone can get a piece of that.
Vince Leone RocknRoll Hall Of Fame does not like Heavy Metal and although Ted Nugent might not fit squarely in that genre the Hall still doesn’t like cranked up amplifiers . There are plenty of people in the RocknRoll Hall Of Fame who deserve to be in there but they have done a lot of boners too. Whoever that OZ wizard is who blackballs and snubs this is also cheating the Hall out of revenue as many Metal & hard rock fans would make the pilgrimage to see acts like Judas Priest , Ted Nugent , Megadeath etc.
Unlike a lot of drunkard, weed smoking, cocaine sniffing artists in his time, he’s the only one who remains consistently up in his prime even today 2020!
I love Derek's solo and the way Ted slowly rises out of the feedback to do his counter-solo. Cat Scratch Fever was a perfect album second only to his self titled 1975 solo debut. Both of which I still listen to to this very day and usually start an entire evening of picking thru all my Nugent albums, even his recent releases. He's got a remarkable body of work that taken as a whole feels like you're on a journey. Long Live Uncle Ted!
I met ted myself in tulsa with my dad herb jr. RIP Dad but ted was an awesome and amazing man who wrote the book kill it and grill it love your music ted please never stop what you do the man the myth the legend ted nugent god bless you ty for my amazing memories
When I was in high school, this was our class song. It was featured in our 1986 yearbook. Apparently, our high school administrators were clueless about the meaning of the word, “poontang."
I've seen Sweaty Teddy, Terrible Ted, Uncle Ted or the motor city madman at least 30 times. He never disappoints. He rocks hard. Back in the late 70s he was so graceful jumping around, full speed ahead. All 30 shows were different. Even the ones I seen him twice in a year in the same venue.
I saw him in concert in 2001at the Fort Sill Oklahoma Polo Field, him and Night Ranger! That man put on one hell of a show! I got my money's worth that's for damn sure. The polo field was packed.
When I was 17, had a crush on this girl. We had been classmates since middle school and she was gorgeous, like out of my league gorgeous. Never had a clue that she liked me the whole time. Finally, like teenage girls do, she told a friend so it would get back to me. Asked her out, she said yes, picked her up in my stepdad's thunderbird, and did the standard "movie and Pizza Hut". (as was customary back then) On the way home, in my infinite wisdom I played this song. We both missed curfew that night. Thank you Uncle Ted for writing the most romantic song in history.
@@johnnynails166 wow you noticed. ted noticed Derek took over and man nailed it and ted is such a team player. derek nailed the solo and ted left the applause in his plate where it was deserved. yes
@@brucebird344 Hell yes brother! Great player and singer! A Thousand Knives has always been one of my favs! Cat Scratch Fever album made great by this classic line-up!
I just showed this video to my father who is 78yo & always listened to 50's doo wop' & tried real hard not to like it but I could tell otherwise!..He couldn't wipe the smile off his face'..Nice lil father & son moment! 😆
Back in the early 1980s, they used to play this album over the loud speakers in the weight room at my high school. They played it so much, I even had it memorized at one point.
Sounds like your maybe from Downriver MI like me? I graduated in 81 and I liked some of his stuff, but a friend of mine was really really into the Live Gonzo album. About that time he started lifting and got a bit burly which is what he needed to do to fight off some of the bullies, as we know, back than it ain't like now.
Great version of this killer love song. Nice guitar duel with the very underrated Derk St Holmes. I saw this band in 77 and blew me away. Still a big Nugent fan and will be seeing him again this summer 45 year and one day later. this guy gives you more energy and entertainment per dollar than any other band I have ever seen and that includes Zeppelin and Floyd
Ted is my second favorite of all time singer and entertainer in life. My all time favorite singer and entertainer in life is David Lee Roth. I love when people interact with the audience. I use to blast Wang Dang Sweet Putang in my room at 6:30 in the morning and I was almost 15 and my sister had to put up with this and my stereo ruled😂😂😂 Too much. I'm a PK pastors kid 😂😂😂 I'm not worried about my salvation😂😂 Ted has nothing to do with my salvation 😂😂 I know my Bible.
Ted's a fundamental believer, too. Always has been. When he gets to Heaven I think The Lord will take him aside and privately say, "Now, Ted, there are certain things we don't do up here. Comprende? Now, get out there and play that guitar for me son!"
so the ted nugent guitar solo i spent days resetting the record needle playing over and over til i got it right was Dereck Saint Holmes. wow. thats cool.
what about Derek. That was the best solo ever. Ask Ted. Ya'lls Brains are Hard as Nails. Flesh and blood. No gray matter. Wake up. Theres hope for tomorrow.Wake up. Derek deserves a shout out.
The 70's was a magical time in my life. It shaped my love for real ROCK & ROLL MUSIC . There is nothing like Uncle Ted while cruising the freeway with your windows down.
Mike Hall From what I read he was a jazz drummer & Derek St Holmes told him he needs to use bigger heavier drum sticks to pound those skins louder to be heard over Ted's loud ass amplifiers lol when he first got the job as a drummer for Ted !
Always loved Ted’s guitar playing and the fact that live he plays note for note what’s on the record perfectly. If you are or have ever been a performing musician then you know how hard that is especially with a 5 man band. It takes a LOT of rehearsal. Then add in the Ted-nacity that Nugent has on guitar and you have the recipe for a KILLER live band. I’m sure Ted’s “if you’re wired you’re fired” policy had a lot to do with it as well though. There were no drugs allowed on tour with or anywhere around Ted.
![Richard T. Bear - Red, Hot & Blue [1978, Full Album]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9Onj8eVDyEA/mqdefault.jpg)
The true Ted Nugent fans always give a huge bow to Derek St Holmes and we always will
Isn’t Derek on the current “Adios MOFO” tour?
@OMGWUNSIU no was disappointed in that also. But Ted's not quitting playing live yet. Just not going out for weeks or months at a time
Amen my brother.
Derek St Holmes voice was the force behind Ted. One of rock’s premier voices without a doubt
He made Nugent
I saw Ted five times as a teenager and each time he put 100% into his shows. What a performer and I still love a lot of his songs.
I saw sweaty Teddy with Aerosmith in Pittsburgh loudest concert ever attended
I'm 62 and still want to se uncle ted in Indiana
poor you!
. Not sweaty teddy. The HUGE NUGE

Hahaha 🇺🇸
Fuck yes tell em with a smile 😃
I loled. 😂
Believe she definitely what to know.lol
Great!
Derek St Holmes is a beast! Very underrated
RIP Cliff Davies, one of the great rock drummers of the 70's.
One of my friends actually has his Scream Dream tour drum set he purchased a couple years ago. Respect
Big Time!!!!
1 of my all-time favorite rock drummers always solid and right on time.
Dude is so exciting, he’s a master of the stage and guitar
Ted is also a great hard rock singer
Saw Teddy back in 1976 at the Portland Oregon Memorial Coliseum. He and his band blew the doors off to heaven and hell and back... Ted Nugent is and was an excellent gutarist and showman. Smart and funny are a bonus.
Can you imagine him trying to play in Portland today? Lol
not!
I'm 58 today and still listening to this stuff! Loved it back then and love it now! What a GREAT TIME had by all when I was growing up!
Heck yes class of 82
Damn STRAIGHT! 59 HERE..
SAME THING MAN
@@jimmycoleman5853 I was class of 81. Seems so long ago but also seems like just yesterday.

lay off the meth pipe
I remember listening to Double Live Gonzo and Kiss Alive a bunch way back in the late 70’s. Got to be the greatest era of music ever. We were so blessed to have come up back then.
Saw the Nuge 6 times, & KISS,saw them over 35 times.....that was back when rock & roll drove your parents INSANE...
Uncle Ted has never been ashamed to show his soft side with tender little ditties like this. A true romantic.
CLASSIC LOVE SONG.
H Goode - If that's what it took to make Ted the awesome artist & incredible intellect that he is, then so be it!
😎
So funny.
Teds the man
I met Ted once and told him he was the reason I play guitar. He said "Im the reason I play guitar." What a blessing it was.
Todd Davis cool answer 🎸
Good
I would expect nothing less from uncle Ted..
Lol!❤
@@ginareddish2730 I would've preferred a "Thank You."
Uncle Ted tearing it up!! His love songs are so touching!
All love songs all touching because he cares
Lmfao. One of the best love songs. Ever ♥️🥀♏🥀♥️
Yeah, there was touching. Lol
Yeap, broke my heart ìn a way.
Literally
the sound is physical
Ted was baddass. Double Live Gonzo is one of the many great live albums back then. The 70s kicked ass.
*is badass
I honestly think Double Live Gonzo is the best live album I've heard by any artist. It seriously rocks.
Double live gonzo is the greatest live album ever!!!
@Little Neutrino Ted's entire show at the Monsters of Rock Oakland '79 concert is worth the watch, too. AC/DC and Aerosmith opened, Ted closed as the main act and he was obviously a stronger live act than the other bands.
Seen Ted a bunch never got old .70 d's
Did rock !
He is one of the few who's music sounds as good live as in the studio. I was lucky enough to see him once. REO Spudwagion was the headliner. he totally stole the show.
Good old REO Spudwagion
How he’s not in the Rock n Roll HOF is unbelievable.
yeah but whitney houston 'the POP star is ...who cares the place is a joke
He doesn’t want to be. He understands that it has no credibility.
They hate conservatives. And southern rock bands pretty much
Who really cares?
He doesn’t believe in academy and HOF stuff like that .
One nation under Ted!!!
@@1Ted_nugent dubble live gonzo !!! The greatest live album ever
This band should be in HOF. Nobody ever picked up a Madonna album and said "I wish I could play guitar like that!"
the rock hall of fame is a joke it’s an honor not to get in
"Good One"
"And finally, Weekend Update would like to congratulate Madonna, who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last Monday. The baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces making it the forth largest object ever to pass through Madonna's birth canal." Norm MacDonald
My buddy told me he can teach me guitar . . I said teach me nugent . . Respectfully he bowed out . . Quote "sounds like fun" but couldn't do it
The second I heard Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever in my El Camino I was hooked.
Real music
I got the privilege of seeing this awesome talent . It was an outdoor venue and a four band line up. Slaughter, Night Ranger and one other before Ted went on. He lit a guitar on fire, someone threw it into the air and he fired an arrow into it before it hit the ground. The place lost it. A great show.
Amazing.
Saw that lineup in Tyler Tx. in '97 I think. The other band was Quiet Riot. Hell of a show, especially for the price.
Probably would have been the rock never stops Tour. Quiet Riot was the other band. What a show I saw it in Tampa and had front row seats. I caught the drumstick from the Slaughter drummer and still have it
@@phitownhustler4802 No, I looked it up finally. It was Damn Yankees. I saw Quiet Riot with Sammy Hagar. I think...I have been to hundreds of shows and some of them get blended together in my head. I know what bands I have seen, but the combination of who opened and the headliner is where I get squirrely
if you ever saw him live back then I bet it was one of the loudest and greatest shows you ever saw! I saw him at the notre dame campus on this tour and my ears rang for three days! but it was worth it!
saw ted twice ' when the scorpions open 4 him & when he was on the skid row/ ted/ kiss 2000 tour' he was so loud with scorpions'
Hes a real true American rock n roller who loves America he speaks his mind love that rock on brah
@@duanebuckler5299 right on!
I saw him in a very small club a week ago. Was right at the front and I'm pretty sure my ears are still ringing.
Saw him in the 1970’s at the Hollywood Sportatorium! One of the best live shows I have ever seen and I went to hundreds and hundreds of shows! Back then it was like $12.00 for a concert ticket and $6.00 for a t-shirt! The good old days. Nugent rocked! At the end of the show he took his bow and arrow and lit the arrow on fire and shot it at a target way high up over the back of the stage! I’ll never forget how good he was
Love him or leave him, Ted is the embodiment of true kick-ass rock 'n' roll. YEAAAAAAAAHAHHHH!!!!!!
Ready Sweaty Teddy..... Motor City Mad Man....
This song alone should put him in the HOF.... But he is way stronger than one song. 50 years, 5,000 live shows, Stranglehold, Cat Scratch, Wango Tango, Center of the Mind,
Not the GOAT but definitely an all time GREAT.
Ted is a living legend one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time ! Hell he's rocking on 73 and these kids can't bring a better show !
Ted Nugent - Lead guitar and vocals
Derek St. Holmes - Guitar and vocals
Rob Grange - Bass
Cliff Davies(RIP) - Drums
The absolute best line-up Ted EVER had!!!👍
Saw Ted Nugent in 73 when it was still the Amboy Dukes. They opened for Black Oak Arkansas.. Great Concert.
Derek played lead on this, get your facts straight.
@@TheLochs Wrong!!!
Derek plays SOME lead, but he was NOT considered lead guitarist!!!

Worth about a million dollars that one

As one of the previous comments said..and I couldn’t agree more 🎸the R&R hall of fame should immediately vote the motor city madman in. I think Strangelhold is one of the great rock songs ever ✌🏼
Amen Brother ➕🇺🇸
Since I was 14, the first song I always play on new audio equipment is Stranglehold. Gotta be blessed right...
Strangehold is pure shit
He has made it clear that he understands that the HOF is a joke that inducts people who are far from rock and roll and that it has no credibility. He has said that he would not accept induction, and he’s right.
The R&R hall of fame is a joke, Ted and his band are to above all that nonsense

What year did the performance in this video take place?
It looks by his clothing it's from the promoting tour of his first self titled album which came out in '75 🧐
The solo sounds horrible, with that screeching Strat bridge pickup sound. He knew better later on, and played Gibsons.
Nugent's best line up!!!
Certainly was damn tight performance as well
I agree

Fuk everytime I hear this, I'm transported back to the 70s. Geez somebody invent a time machine, I just wanna go home.
anyone wants to get mellow can turn around and get the F outta here...ALRIGHT?!
I know no one came here to get mellow...
🤘😁🤘
That, and, "You wanted the best, you got the best. The hottest band in the world..." are the anthems of my childhood.
I saw uncle ted shoot an arrow straight through a guitar! Probably the coolest thing ever!
Brings a tear to your eye...Beautiful love song.
When I was 17, had a crush on this girl. We had been classmates since middle school and she was gorgeous, like out of my league gorgeous. Never had a clue that she liked me the whole time. Finally, like teenage girls do, she told a friend so it would get back to me. Asked her out, she said yes, picked her up in my stepdad's thunderbird, and did the standard "movie and Pizza Hut". (as was customary back then) On the way home, in my infinite wisdom I played this song. We both missed curfew that night. Thank you Uncle Ted for writing the most romantic song in history.
I hope you wore protection, great story, I had the same but it was Purple Rain,
What a Freaking Awesome Classic! 2018 Another Timeless Tune from Nugent!
Yo Mama,
I bet you are some Sweet Poontang....
Now this is Rock n Roll !!
STRAIGHT AMERICAN ROCK-&-ROLL, PERIOD.
999 fine oh teddy 🐻 u bring those owww feelings back. Keep it commin😅😊❤
Derek St. Holmes... what a great guitar player!
Absolutely! Great singer as well!
Alberto Jorge Soares
Not to mention one hell of a vocalist
And a great singer!
@@johnnynails166 wow you noticed. ted noticed Derek took over and man nailed it and ted is such a team player. derek nailed the solo and ted left the applause in his plate where it was deserved. yes
@@brucebird344 Hell yes brother! Great player and singer! A Thousand Knives has always been one of my favs! Cat Scratch Fever album made great by this classic line-up!
Ted rocks. Libs talk
I just showed this video to my father who is 78yo & always listened to 50's doo wop' & tried real hard not to like it but I could tell otherwise!..He couldn't wipe the smile off his face'..Nice lil father & son moment! 😆
Only Michael Schenker's jams get in the same ballpark of awesomeness as this
Terrible teddy and badass st Holmes theses guys slay!
Back in the early 1980s, they used to play this album over the loud speakers in the weight room at my high school. They played it so much, I even had it memorized at one point.
Sounds like your maybe from Downriver MI like me? I graduated in 81 and I liked some of his stuff, but a friend of mine was really really into the Live Gonzo album. About that time he started lifting and got a bit burly which is what he needed to do to fight off some of the bullies, as we know, back than it ain't like now.
Great version of this killer love song. Nice guitar duel with the very underrated Derk St Holmes. I saw this band in 77 and blew me away. Still a big Nugent fan and will be seeing him again this summer 45 year and one day later. this guy gives you more energy and entertainment per dollar than any other band I have ever seen and that includes Zeppelin and Floyd
Uncle Ted Rock On!
Ted is my second favorite of all time singer and entertainer in life. My all time favorite singer and entertainer in life is David Lee Roth. I love when people interact with the audience. I use to blast Wang Dang Sweet Putang in my room at 6:30 in the morning and I was almost 15 and my sister had to put up with this and my stereo ruled😂😂😂 Too much. I'm a PK pastors kid 😂😂😂 I'm not worried about my salvation😂😂 Ted has nothing to do with my salvation 😂😂 I know my Bible.
Ted's a fundamental believer, too. Always has been. When he gets to Heaven I think The Lord will take him aside and privately say, "Now, Ted, there are certain things we don't do up here. Comprende? Now, get out there and play that guitar for me son!"
God bless you, man. I read the Bible too, and I’m into Ted and DLR

@@patrickkunkle5958 right on
so the ted nugent guitar solo i spent days resetting the record needle playing over and over til i got it right was Dereck Saint Holmes. wow. thats cool.
what about Derek. That was the best solo ever. Ask Ted. Ya'lls Brains are Hard as Nails. Flesh and blood. No gray matter. Wake up. Theres hope for tomorrow.Wake up. Derek deserves a shout out.
The 70's was a magical time in my life. It shaped my love for real ROCK & ROLL MUSIC . There is nothing like Uncle Ted while cruising the freeway with your windows down.
Ted was on fire here.
Love you brother and beautiful wife you are 100 percent treasures of America
Teds on another planet ....end ❤
Ted Nugent is definitely a great guitarist, he has technique, a lot of rhythm and attitude.
Holy Moly!!!! When I was 10 your poster was above my bed!
Many thoughts!!!!I love you!🌞
I do love this tender ballad
Cliff was an amazing drummer. Super tight. Tragic death.
Mike Hall From what I read he was a jazz drummer & Derek St Holmes told him he needs to use bigger heavier drum sticks to pound those skins louder to be heard over Ted's loud ass amplifiers lol when he first got the job as a drummer for Ted !
NUGE!! On tour summer of 2022, Clearwater FL. I am so there.!!
My first concert was Ted Nugent and Golden Earring in Greensboro, N.C in 1978.....I was hooked after that....
I saw Ted and Aerosmith in Greensboro in the 80s.
I remember going to a few concerts in Greensboro, Kiss, Jethro Tull, Kansas and a few more. 🔊🎵🎶🎵😁✌
Ted's best line-up. Imo
I love seeing Derek getting in a nice and long intro lead on this clip.
So underrated, this was Ted's best line up for sure.
Didn't realize Derek soloed so much. Massive talent.
..Yes ! . . The fab Derek St. Holmes on rhythm 🎸 & (some) 🎤 s ! 😃 ...Sweet solo !! 1:55
@@tracyhall6195 and there became the rift between Ted and Derek. Derek wanted to be a bigger part of the band....Ted wanted it all about him.
@@blite13 ...With Uncle Ted's lifetime Ego, 🤯 ..totally believe you ! ... Love the Wildman, tho,, fo'sho !! 😄
I metTed Nugent years ago 💜 awesome guy☮️
My crazy uncle Ted
Ted Nugent Rocks brother remember 1976 in high school smoking guitar
not sure where ur from but we smoked weed
:)
Rock N’ Roll ain’t noise pollution.🇺🇸
Uncle Ted. The good old days.
Always loved Ted’s guitar playing and the fact that live he plays note for note what’s on the record perfectly. If you are or have ever been a performing musician then you know how hard that is especially with a 5 man band. It takes a LOT of rehearsal. Then add in the Ted-nacity that Nugent has on guitar and you have the recipe for a KILLER live band. I’m sure Ted’s “if you’re wired you’re fired” policy had a lot to do with it as well though. There were no drugs allowed on tour with or anywhere around Ted.
@@JRPrestonIL 100%spot on with comments and this was Ted's best band and he never managed to replace ever, Derek, Rob and Cliff (RIP)
I heard that drugs weren't his thing..sex yes, was his drug of choice, I'd heard.. No biggie. Great rocker
That’s some amazing lead guitar work right there.
Now this is the nugent I remember and saw twice in New Haven.
Super helpful that they included the lyrics. Top notch.
