Amboy Dukes - Journey To The Center Of The Mind 

Legendary guitar player. Shit human being. And a hypocrite for dodging the draft for Vietnam, then turning right wing chicken hawk for the Iraq war.

Shit his own pants to avoid the draft. Super "patriotic". Mic drop

Actually acdc is the epitome of rock

Two years later after this post I just got done listening to him again. And so did the Neighbors And I don't really care what they think 🤙

Right on! Saw him twice. First was stage front for the Cat Scratch Fever Tour. And 27 years later! Uncle Ted is phenomenal.

Is he the cat singing the high harmony?

That's when he had hair to pull back!! Then again, I'm one to talk. Once I had hair that even girls envied, now there's this giant bald spot back there. Those were the days!!!! 😅😅

Me too.

It was the best of times!

hes crap

I'm listening now because of Art. In addition to all the guests and topics, his music influenced me immensely. Ride My See Saw, Some Velvet Morning, far too many great songs, across genres, to name. Art was one of a kind.

Yeah, I'd forgotten that...

Ummm...no. He was 18 when he wrote it and 19 when it was recorded.

Neal Schon.

@@artheriford You are right sir,

He's still a freaking jerk 🤭

You actually called TED underrated 😂

Yeah

so liquid those lead tones!

well how about just for his music?

It was a statement not a question. Nobody asked you. See your two cents is worth less thin mine. Ted is the man. And believes in the good old United States of America

Abso fing lutely. Read the constitution lately. Better to die on my feet listening to Uncle Ted than die on my knees at the feet of tyrants.

@@stevea6816 tell us what’s wrong with his belief in the constitution, Steve.

Keshet...If you were at Sherwood Forest did you ever see Uncle Tedley walking around with underage girls.. I did...Look up Sherwood Forest if you're not familiar....Ever hear the rumors that the reason Tedley left Michigan so fast for Texas is because the State of Michigan was investigating Uncle Ted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and or child molestation..

​@@bigstuff52Wrong!

NO !........but AND "BUTT" YOU AND your daddy did, do AND will continue w/Leftist deviant child specializing GROOMERISM's

"sexualizing specializing"

Especially when he dodged serving his country with Trump.

Ugh.

He doesn't even know what patriot means, he's an a******that was only good when he was with the Amboy dukes! Now he's just stupid!

@ times "HUMBLE" AND often LOUD...!!

Hes a big girls blouse

Oh wow. I actually went to both of those shows.

@@cheesegrits196 You went to the shows in Atlanta? Uncle Ted played that night with Mike Panera and Cactus billed as the Guitar Battle of the Century...

"the AMBOY DUKES" RULED ROCK

"Tooth Fang and Claw" ROCKED!

Bar band at best

He's not that all American. He also believed in dodging the draft.

@@flipwright1138 .....dodging the draft does not necessarily mean that you are unpatriotic ........the Vietnam conflict was senseless and unnecessary and accomplished nothing .......a lot of people evaded the draft during that bloody, stupid war and were pardoned.......i was one of them.

@@flipwright1138 My husband volunteered-ie was not drafted- to serve two terms there, lost his younger brother there (who lied about his age to volunteer)-and he believes that it was a mistake and he holds no grudge against dodgers as long as they’re not of the “America always wrong” variety. This country has made mistakes, like every country. But we’ve tried to do right in our short history, for the most part.

Maybe people should piss on you. How would you feel about THAT? "Do unto others......"

@profnasty Sorry to dissapoint you, but Ted supported Bush and the Iraq war, and when he went to Iraq to play for the US forces there he told an interviewer that the only mistake the US did in Iraq was "not to Nagasaki them". I still think he s a terrific musician and I love his music and guitar playing but a lot of this man s views are impossible to bear with and at times just straight out outrageous. But we have to learn to separate the art from the artist.

He sucks now, that was the Pinnacle of his career!

But a very opinionated nut case in personal life

@@richardlawson6787 oh? Others in the industry likely have opinions about things. What specifically bothers you about Nugent?

@@us1fedvet for one thing hes a racist...next is a draft dodger...next is he thinks everybody should be armed...very extreme right wing nut job

@@us1fedvet hes a nutt case..likes to kill animals for sport.. Has far out conspiracy theories..and very outspoken in his opinions...

True Patriots care about ALL good people. Ted falls far short of being a "solid patriot."

@@StopMAGA you have a different pov and thats ok… peace

@Ridendrty Ted's a Patriot, to be sure, and a guitar slayer. The only thing we disagree about is how patriotic can one be who cares so little about so many good people who don't think like you? You can not be a solid patriot when you dismiss the lives of fellow Patriots who aren't Christian, gun loving, heterosexual wildlife hunters.

@@StopMAGA i understand the point you are making i just don’t see Ted as being dismissive or uncaring as you say. All good tho.. i hope you and all others will continue to have the freedom to express your own views as you see them. 👊🇺🇸

@Ridendrty Thank you for the civil conversation between the 2 of us who have differing opinions. I loved Ted growing up and still love his music. It's his politics that I just can't wrap my head around. ✌️

You can be an egomaniac when your opinions are correct.

Not to worry - if he kills ya, he'll grill ya!

Rickster Except that Ted wouldn't give you the time of day.

It always cracks me up when people take whatever he's saying at any given time at face value. The guy doesn't take himself too seriously and has a hilarious sense of humor where he says things that are purposefully hyperbolic or exaggerated. For some people that goes straight over their head. He's a passionate dude with crazy every who loves having fun and joking around. Crazy laid back and friendly. If you see him at a guitar convention stop by and say hi. I did and he'll pull you aside and shoot the shit for a long time. He's always got time for fans and chatting if you share any passions with him like hunting, guitars, etc. The dude gets off on interacting with his fans and putting on a good show and having fun. Never seen him in a bad mood after he gets off stage.

Love Ted's music but he's a political cesspool of vile hatred

Same, but in Austin Armadillo ☮️

I’d say more of a national embarrassment.

@@larrylebowski8386 In what way? Why is Ted the "Embarrassment"?

@@animelodies-_- I get your point but I like those licks. Eddy is great but his sense of melody is different.

@@ToIsleOfView: Van Halen was good at what he did, but I just didn´t care for the songs he/they wrote or necessarily, (as you put it) his sense of melody. But, Im just not a big fan, (anymore) of gratuitous shredding.

Now that’s a load of 🐮💩 Ted is mediocre at best 👎

Boy have you got that wrong. Ted Nugent wishes he could’ve played like Eddie Van Halen.

@@larrylebowski8386: Maybe he does wish he could play like VH, who knows? But that doesn't mean we all feel the same about Eddie´s playing. Alan Holdsworth was likely among the best guitarists that ever walked but I still didn't care for most of his compositions.

frank dracmann nn

Hell, he still is fun!! Have known Ted personally since the 80's and he still has fun making those Byrdlands sing!! Saw him in Greensburg, PA and Clearfield Co Fair, PA and his farewell tour has as much energy as the first few times I ever saw him!! Then there's our mutual love of 10mm handguns and grilled venison tenderloin......all fun as well!!

...and 'Migration¡☆!

Ted has said multiple times, his only vice was women.

@@mikerlawrence Correction - 13 yr old girls

If he took drugs he might have been good as a musician
