went to the Toronto show (loin cloth) front row lost hearing for like 3 days and got crowd crushed. best rock show ever. when Ted screamed; "come on up.." total mayhem squish
i'[ve met and spent a little time backstage with ted. nothing about him is an act. he's as genuine as anyone can be. treated me like a long lost friend
2:02, ah, back when you could tell a gay joke and no one got upset, back then, jokes were jokes and what you laughed at didn't completely define your character.
FRIGGIN TED NUGENT IS THE REAL DEAL!!! dude has been getting it done for 50 years!!! He's got his shit together and has always been a straight shooter!!! Lol literally!!! LOVE YOU UNCLE TED!!!
if you own virtually any Gibson ES guitar, you'd have a hard time keeping your hands off it too. his control of feedback with a fully hollow Byrdland is what amazes me.
69SHOVLHED I talked to his tech a few years ago at a show in Memphis. He said that no matter the room, Ted could go up on stage and 15 minutes into the soundcheck, have all the feedback particulars figured out from any spot on the stage.
Rob Ferrell Vintage Byrdlands are relatively cheap. I was in a shop on the east coast of Florida a couple of months ago and they had a ‘68 natural Byrdland with the Florentine cutaway for something like $7500. Not exactly cheap, but when considering other guitars of similar vintage and the fact that a new Byrdland will run you close to $10k, it’s a good buy.
@@jedimindtrick75 Bingo! Conan takes the jab. Conan throws a quick right at ABBA. Something tells me whoever was in ABBA laughed when it landed. God Bless America (Sweden and U.K. too ha!). God don't Bless those taking Others'Freedom away. He won't.
Ted Nugent is such A great guy and gutarist, He rocked the 70s and 80s with his thunderstorm of gutiar skills right at people's face and they loved it, Love all his albums, 😎👍
Saw Ted live last summer(2019). He's not hurtling amps anymore, but he was playing like a man possessed. Playing as well, maybe better than, he ever has.
Rock and Roll Monkey~Its really the best thing, when hearing an artist you've always liked, and although they're gettin a little older, they havent felt the need to reinvent themselves. They havent mellowed so much, theyre almost unrecognizable, and the fire and talent are still just as alive and well; maybe even better. You can just tell their music is who they are, and it personifies them, having an energy that is hard to find the words for. I met Ted in 1991. He was a trip. We had backstage/VIP passes. People were mingling. We were looking around and I finally saw Ted. I must have had a dumb look on my face, staring or something, but he saw me. He saw me from about 30-40 feet away. And with a burst of unexpected spontaneity, he started running tward me, and I just froze like a deer in the headlights, as he did a double bent knee skid (kind of like sliding into home plate without the 1 extended leg) on the smooth floor, there was no where for me to move to, as he slid to a stop right at my feet. He then whips out a sharpie pen, grabs my leg and signed his autograph on the left leg of my faded blue jeans. He must be made of rubber, because he somehow got his feet underneath him, rolled himself back onto his feet without using his hands, and with a strange fluidity I could never duplicate or describe. And I couldnt help but laugh outright. He then goes to hand me the pen, kissed the top of my hand and told my friend, "Its gals like this you'll have dreams about when your an old man", he winked and then went bounding away, half singing and half calling out someone's familiar sounding name. I must have been 10 shades of rosie pink to sunburned red and could not stop giggling, even alittle bit shaken. We had a few drinks, hung out next to a few of the Damn Yankees, then sfter feeling abit like we weren't sure how to strike up a conversation surrounded by people we didnt know, decided to leave. As we headed tward the exit, the doorman stopped us. He said, "Here. Ted wanted me to tell you guys if you ever want to go hunting or want to learn how give him a call" then he handed me a business card and at the bottom where his name would be it said "Whackmaster Ted". Of course I didnt have the funds or the means for that kind of excursion, but I still have the card. Ted is definitely a very expressive individual and still fully stoked on life from what I can see. Still a spazz with no shortage of the risque' humor. But before I quit rambling, here's a funny thought. I think it'd surprise no one if Ted lived to be 100. He may not be able to bounce around the room, but I bet his wit would still be in tact. I think it'd be quite comical if he was the the longest living rock musician of his era. I know of no one else like him. Im sure a few may exist, but none come to mind. Who knows, maybe now that I'm leaving Cammie-fornia after being born and raised in the bay area, I'm heading north to escape all the leftist quacks. There's just too damn many of them, politicians and citizens alike, brainwashed in idiocy and a worthless justice system. Once I'm finally out of here and no longer being financially raped living in one of top most expensive, rip off places to live in the entire country, I might actually be able to save some money for the first time since...well, too mamy years ago, and maybe make that hunting trip after all, and share this story with him. I have to admit. That would definitely be ANOTHER adventure I wouldnt forget. Its the kind of thing "I'd. have dreams about when I'm an old lady".
We can all still get along, just ignore the internet debates. I’m from California and I’d welcome anyone from across the country to have a beer and talk politics. Sometimes the internet makes you for forget you are talking to a human, and most people are good in my experience.
New here. It makes Ted even more likable seeing this interview. He talks so much common sense more people should learn from him and his ways. Also cat scratch fever is still my favourite opening riff ever :)
While I share a lot of the same views as Ted, just about everybody in Hollywood I form a negative opinion on once their political view comes out. Its everybody's right to have their own, but it sucks when they abuse events and other things to constantly take preaching opportunity. It isn't what made them famous. That said I get where the OP is coming from.
My birthday is 3 days after uncle Ted, many years later, but he's a Sagittarius through and through. Get him in the rock hall of fame already. What a joke that having strong opinions can keep a good dude down like it did.
He recorded an albumn at pasha studios where I worked. Got to play pac-man with him and deliver his checks to the Beverly Hills bank in my grey primered nova with a Budweiser bedspread for a seat cover back in 82. Just like Beverly Hills cops. Now I'm 58 where did the time go?
You forgot "Brother Ted:! Used affectoinately when listening to "Bro Ted" while stoned and gathered somewhere in the country, music cranked, speakers out of the vehicle, when so equipped, and getting more buzzed!! Ah, memories!!
Probably not..... only because there isn't a greatest. But it's highly doubtful you'll find better. He plays live. Has played over 5000 shows. Played in 6 decades. Sold 50,000,000 records. Sex symbol. Didn't die. Writes. Produces. Sings. There's only a few in this group.... Ronnie and Keith for sure. Paul McCartney and Ringo. Pete and Roger. Eric... David Glimore and Roger Waters... Cosby, Stills and Nash.... Santana.... Pretty short list... Ready Sweaty Teddy is on the list.
Wow...to me, this was not that long ago... but man it was 18 years ago! Ted has aged soo much...and then you compare him to his hay day...it's insane... and the media has become so liberal and would never let him on today. This is crazy.
I'm old enough to remember when liberals and conservatives could sit together, talk, share a laugh or two and still disagree...all without getting angry and screaming at or threatening each other. Personally, I think BOTH sides have gone too far and neither side gives a damn about the country.
Right? When I was growing up nobody gave a damn about liberal, conservative, etc. If you were cool, you were cool. People got along with each other. What the hell happened?
Conan mentions the loin cloth! Lol. My girl cousins saw Ted Nugent in concert and all they could talk about was the fact that thats all he wore...the white loin cloth. Lol
him in Damn Yankees was epic! they fit so well together best band. underrated.
And the record company didn't want them out there. They couldn't control everything and they hate that.
Back when people could get along and not lump everyone into groups and attack one another’s opinions.
AKA before Facebook
That was the exact thought I had when I saw this.
Well Ted sure says a lot of that
Also back before Ted went batshit, tinfoil nuts.
Before Ted became a part of that group.
I saw him in '77. He swung in on a vine rockin' the loin cloth. Rocked the shit out of Madison Square Garden, we had so much fun.
Was at the Lakeland Civic Center in Florida at the same tour. Was hysterical!!!
went to the Toronto show (loin cloth) front row lost hearing for like 3 days and got crowd crushed. best rock show ever.
when Ted screamed; "come on up.." total mayhem squish
Same here. 1979 Day on the Green in the Oakland Coliseum.
Yup, I was there too. Lynryd Skynyrd was supposed to be there but that was the year of their fateful accident. Great show!
@@pgo301 I was there too! My ears rang for a few days.
He’s actually a great guitarist!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Ted says he doesn't do alcohol, drugs or tobacco contrary to his image He makes an excellent talk show guest. I like his nice guy humble persona
He looks so young because he's never smoked or did drugs
What persona ?
i'[ve met and spent a little time backstage with ted. nothing about him is an act. he's as genuine as anyone can be. treated me like a long lost friend
I saw him in concert in 77. My ears are still ringing
what???

You gotta respect a person who has never, ever changed their views on life in America. Unlike lying ass politicians.
Wait so conservatives were allowed on late night back in 1999? Times have changed.
Bill Burr was on his show.
Reuben Raya Bill Burt’s not a conservatove
They weren't as psychotic then.
M.B. Wut lol
No joke...late night tv sucks ass now
Conan is such a good sport.
Have you seen him lately
Conan is a see-you-next-tuesday 💯
There are so many fake musos out there. This man is a true rock legend. I wish I had discovered his music earlier.
He's really under rated.
I got lucky, because I was around since his beginning, and got to see him in a very small venue (3-400 PE0PLE BIG) across town in the early 70s.
I love this man!!!! Saw in in concert in '81. It was an amazing concert. Best I've ever seen...
2:02, ah, back when you could tell a gay joke and no one got upset, back then, jokes were jokes and what you laughed at didn't completely define your character.

Back when liberals and conservatives got along
Never been a huge fan of his music (I'm not a rock-n-roller). But Ted Nugent is Self Made 101. Americana in gratia. Huge respect
“My idea of fast food is an elk.” 😊
I saw Ted in 1980 in Jersey...I was 15...He ripped up the shore...Good times...
Ted's a true musician, he cannot keep his hands off his guitar thorough out the whole interview....

I seen that to
Teds Gibson guitar collection has to be worth millions...
Yeah Dosent he own literally like 80 percent of all thunderbird guitars
Definitely, he has a 59’ Les Paul
That’s one thing I do like about Ted and his taste for guitars.
He destroys them all

A damn shame this man is not in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Two hit wonders don’t qualify.

@@Jakew9 40+ MILLION
@@Jakew9 You have to consider where the quote came from "Mom's Basement" doesn't bring to mind someone with Alot going on. ....JS.....
He should be there for sure. He deserves it. R&RHOF is shit. Ted is shit. Perfect match
Put Uncle TED in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame where he belongs!!!
Put him in the White House!!
Ready Sweaty Teddy..... At this point, I doubt he would accept.
He has so much charisma, hollywood needs more dudes like him.

Hahaha! Crazy Ted. LOVE THIS GUY! . . Unbelievable guitar player. Truly a legend!!
I'm British and I love this man.
this American says ,check out his 'live at HAMMERSMITH ODEON' CD.
You got taste baby
Nugent is a true patriot and I love him. May God continue to bless Ted and his family and these United Staes as well.
It's been a while since I watched old Ted Nugent clips. I forgot how damned funny he is.
Go Ted as a fellow bow hunter that feeds my family and I love what you do go Ted
say or think what you want, the man and his band made some of the best rock and roll music ever made

Video should of started when his guitar playing started not as it ended!,.. Uncle Ted Rocks!
Long Live TED NUGENT and everything he stands for!
Nugent is more enjoyable like this... playing down the politics and talking more about his passions and hobbies.
He should talk more about stuff like his charity. As apposed to his politics
adamatomic41 yeah, but that can describe pretty much everyone. Politics brings out the worst of everyone no matter what side you are on.
His politics are awesome
What if people told you what to talk about?

The video of Conan at Ted's ranch is hilarious!
Ted Nugent Lamaze class on how to give birth to a coyote. Fking epic !
Ted is so much funnier than I remember. HAHAHA!
He swung out over the audience on a Rope wearing a Loin Cloth, then almost collapsed the building he rocked it so hard 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Isn’t Conan a guitar collector himself? Would’ve drooled over that guitar
He recorded an albumn at pasha studios where I worked. Got to play pac-man with him and deliver his checks to the Beverly Hills bank in my grey primered nova with a Budweiser bedspread for a seat cover back in 82. Just like Beverly Hills cops. Now I'm 58 where did the time go?

First saw Ted on the Free for All tour in St Paul MN. Was hooked ever since!
Ted looks really good for early 50s here! Cool dude!
Ted Nugent, Greatest Rocker EVER! Great guy also!
Probably not..... only because there isn't a greatest. But it's highly doubtful you'll find better.

Pete and Roger. Eric...
David Glimore and Roger Waters... Cosby, Stills and Nash.... Santana....
Pretty short list... Ready Sweaty Teddy is on the list.
Nugent is rock and roll personified... love his playing and energy, vibe etc etc a quality so lacking to today's music scene
West Coast liberal here and I love Ted Nugent!
I interviewed Ted on WKZQ, Myrtle Beach SC back in the mid 90s.
He's the real deal.
Great guy.
And a great concert later that night.
Ted The Sledge Rocked many a stadium show for us Jersey kids in the 70's and 80's!
"The badgers avoid it" hahaha
"That's actually a Ted Nugent lamaze class, and I'm giving birth to a coyote."
Hahahahaha
So, hecs admitting that a coyote had sex with him.....And ted enjoyed every second of it....
I lost it LOL 😆
My 1st concert in 76 he can't keep his hands off his guitar
the night of being at teds place he meet Jack white and became friends.
Ted's best Album goes back to the Amboy Dukes...."Call of the Wild" !!!!
Love Hibernation.......
Tooth Fang and Claw
Wow...to me, this was not that long ago... but man it was 18 years ago! Ted has aged soo much...and then you compare him to his hay day...it's insane... and the media has become so liberal and would never let him on today. This is crazy.
DooM Guy 83 big difference between 52 and 72.
Best thing he ever did was Journey to the Centre of the Mind
Bullshit. It's a cool song but he has tons of good songs. Get real.
That was his very 1st hit. It was the badest song at that time and it still kicks ass better than anything out there.... BY FAR !
Agree. That was his best song by far.
*my idea of fastfood is elk...
Ted Nugent...
When i think of America i think of Ted Nugent
Uncle Ted!!!! Bombastic, loud, obnoxious, and rude, but at the same time, he’s not a bad person.
Uncle ted is the man,there'll never be another you.
He reminds me so much of Jack Nicholson. His facial expressions are very reminiscent of jack in the shinning
Crazy Ted
“My idea of fast food is elk.” Classic Ted! :D
GREATEST ROCKER EVER. STRANGLE HOLD, LOVE THE SONG.
His best song period. The mix, tone, effects,guitar solos.
Thunder Thighs. Look it up. Greatest lyric of all time. "She was six foot four, thank god no more"
Can't forget the C.N.E. grandstand in the 70s. GREAT SHOW TED! AND THEN MAPLE LEAF GARDENS 70S. Loved both concerts.
Auesum Ted, a real man's thinking of our world.
I'm old enough to remember when liberals and conservatives could sit together, talk, share a laugh or two and still disagree...all without getting angry and screaming at or threatening each other. Personally, I think BOTH sides have gone too far and neither side gives a damn about the country.
One side does.
Right? When I was growing up nobody gave a damn about liberal, conservative, etc. If you were cool, you were cool. People got along with each other. What the hell happened?
Look how proud he was after Conan said the name of his book.
“Of all my gay friends Conan’s the best” 😂
Ted is an excellent example, he's his own man, very few men out there like him.
You call it politics and ted calls it life.
that is a profound statement
The days when anything goes. And these two brothers make the most of it.
Ted was (and still is) awesome! LOVE the fact that he isn't a brain diseased lib! Also a fantastic musician!
ted could have done stand up anytime
Conan needs more regular people still today
Conan mentions the loin cloth! Lol. My girl cousins saw Ted Nugent in concert and all they could talk about was the fact that thats all he wore...the white loin cloth. Lol
A late night host talking about shooting guns? Wow
What a great person to interview..........
He needs no introduction. The all American hunter.
Thanks for uploading this. God Bless Our Free America! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇸 Love You Uncle Ted.
That guitar is gorgeous
so he was 52 then? he looks 40!
Orso Northeast you heard him no drugs or alcohol.
...and organic food
Orso Northeast It's that good food!
He’s 70 now and looks 45
He has a good diet, even now he looks young for his age
Holy fuck that was the most american thing ive seen in years
TED NUGENT FOR PRESIDENT
Also, I read in a rock mag in the 70's....A fan wanted his autograph on his chest.
Ted said, I would have but I didn't have my wood burner with me!
I just watched him on rogan, here he is about the same age as rogan is now.
Hes like jim carrey.....but way hard core!! WHATEVER love him.
