British guitarist analyses Ted Nugent taking his playing to new heights! 

Yep

Yet they allow country artists in. Ridiculous!

An absolute shame

​@Patrick Adams Country artist sing, talk, and go hunting and fishing, and it's expected. It's part of the culture. But when a rock guy does it, he's called all sorts of names. The fact that he's drug and alcohol free his whole life goes against the rock culture as well. The fact is, he warned other players about addiction in the 60s and 70s (Hendrix included) and told them it would kill them, it did. I guess he got the last laugh.

Sad but true. Especially in today’s political climate. Anyone who is conservative is considered the presidential as well as political enemy. It’s ridiculous. I do believe that people are becoming really sick and tired of cancel culture, false Me Too Movements, and overall ludicrous ostracism for any belief system, other than the Mainstream. What ever happened to the freedoms? MUSIC and the ARTS should be neutral.

IS STILL a great musician. And a great American.

Don; Still is a great entertainer!!

Was?? You mean IS!!!!!

because people can't just judge him on playing guitar... they have to judge him on politics too and that is why he is not in the top 50 guitar players of all time and thats UNFAIR

Was? WAS?????

Yes indeed. Schoolcraft College 1975. Astounding performance.

Cool!

First Concert I ever saw was Areosmith .. In a Hockey Stadium Wings Stadium Kalamazoo MI the acoustics really sucked in there.. metal roof . ect..

Andy Leibrook I've seen them together several times. The early 80's were very bad for Aerosmith drugs wise. They more than held their own in the mid to late 70's and beyond.

I did too. I saw them in Chicago

that's funny because Aerosmith used to open up for Ted Nugent in the 70s!

@Nature and Physics link to proof, dipshit?

@Nature and Physics And you believe it as gospel. Ya.

@Nature and Physics Wow, a racist too. Just that leftist-style ace-in-the-hole accusation show you to be what you accuse him of being, a worthless failure.

@Nature and Physics Ooohhh, hunting deer with machine gun, the horror! I cannot find the article you quoted, but I suppose it was legal to do that. What Ted actually did, and that's on official record, was hunting down and killing over 400 feral pigs from a helicopter and with a machine gun. Shocking right? Well, actually it isn't, as the local authorities initiate such hunts whenever feral wildlife becomes an eco-problem. It is, of course, very sad that Ted Nugent cannot be as "philantropic" as your "Prez of choice" who got a Nobel Peace Prize, just before he started to order so many air strikes and cruise missile-attacks that even G.W. began to look like the member of a girl choir. Anyhoo, this is a music-related channel and it's just as sad that politics bleed into it, only because the inevitable bonehead lefty finds "regional hunting magazine"-articles but not the decency to evaluate one's own bigotry and hypocrisy.

He's actual garbage. Back in the late 70s I was dating a guy in a pretty successful band, no I'm not going to name him, it was a long time ago. But I was able to get backstage passes to a lot of concerts, including a lot of those multi-act events at ballparks. Ted Nugent played at a few of those so I met him many times. He was just a pig. So sleazy. And I met plenty of other big guitarist to were nice guys, great guys, respectful amd fun to talk to like Ronnie Montrose, Neal Schon, Lindsay Buckingham etc. All the women steered clear of Nugent. Massive ego and acted like a creep 16 desperate to get laid. Great guitarist but trash human.

👍

Nah. I notice a big similarity between Ted and Billy Thorpe.

Greatest? You obviously have never formally studied music. Ted is a decent player, yes, but greatest? Not in a million years.

@@javiermoretti1825 He's definitely in the conversation and that's what's the most important. Maybe not on the top or Mount Rushmore but he's up there.

😂👍

And his politics are spot on!

Still are

@@johnn58 With all the sordid drug and sexual abuse of the major groups, Ted Nugent's 'hometown hero' style and Michigan Rock Roots and Motor City Madness should be more appreciated. He worked hard for technical excellence, preaches that to new musicians, and Stranglehold remains his opus and one of the most hypnotic rock performances of the century. His love of hot women (no one ever called EVH misogynist), hunting, hot cars, and as now a board member of the NRA shouldn't disqualify him to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.

@@leonarddaneman810 I totally agree. My sister's boyfriend lived next door to Ted when he still lived in Redford. I've been a fan since I was about 11 years old. It is funny how the left lambasts Nugent, but gives truly women-hating rappers a pass.

He was a big part of their style, good point, best musician in the band in my op

Tim Penfield - True that, Tim! One of the very best bass players of all time. 👍🏻

Absolutely

Greetings from Detroit! Most definitely! ...and he should be in the R & R Hall of Fame, (Farce). He is our Motor City Madman!

@@gayleash9712 unfortunately politics will probably keep him out, the mean spirited progressive fascist, always put politics above art

@@carrollshipley3874 Yup 👍

Yes yes yes

😅

👍

I saw that. Dave asked him, “Hey Ted! Are you still the Motor City Madman?” It was one great show that night.

🤘👍

Right on dude! Such great music in the 70s when I was in my teens then the car wreck of disco hit. And Ted was there busting through it.

🤣🤣🤣

👍

rodentcafeteria hecwas the man pre Eddie Van Halen

@@glennmckenzie6799 He's STILL the man.

I used to see him a lot up in Davison at Sherwood forest. He was superb, especially on Journey to the center...and the Survival album. Used to see Brownsville Station with him a lot

I love his Political Stance. It's so nice to see a Musician (or actor) who's not indoctrinated in the leftist agenda, and isn't afraid to express it publicly.

Right on Fil!

Uncle Ted, a true American patriot who loves the United States, freedom and the Constitution.

@@trajan6927AMEN to that!!!! That’s the reason that he’s not as revered as his contemporaries. It’s all political!!! Truly a disturbing fact!

Cool!

back when concerts cost $3...got some too

Thanks!

👍

One of the best live albums and best Nugent albums ever. Got it when it was released and it was the first album I ever purchased, I was 13 years old. Nothing has topped it. That guitar solo in Stormtrooper and Wang Dang Sweet Poontang and hibernation and..... on and on.

Ted used that hollow body Gibson's tendency to uncontrollably feedback as a weapon. He was able to master the control of that feedback. No one else did it better.

no he couldn't. that is not sustain, that is feedback.

rohadt Anyad That's what Acts 13:41 said, he controlled the feedback.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Mt fav guitarist of all times

I enjoyed your reaction to Ted Nugent very much. Here is a link to a Frank Marino concert video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rYDBuBaR16A.html Like Ted, Frank didn't try to cram a lot of inconsequential notes into a solo. Instead, they chose the right notes and worked them. There aren't many post MTV guitarists with their skills or stage presence.

I agree! I'm fact Ted used to have guitar play -offs against other guitarists (he called them something cooler than play-off but I don't remember what) and he did one with Frank Marino.

Yes, yes, good call.

👍

Seen him up close at Seattle Center back in the day! Total He-man! Guy would run and jump up high on the Amps and other stage equipment like he was an Olympic athlete! Damn good guitar guy!

@@jamespennington9719 I saw him shoot a flaming arrow on stage, when he opened up for Kiss during their farewell tour in 2000.

Amen!

Cool!

Amazing vocal, hits them high notes like nothing, i may call ya when i get my band together hahaha remember Whitford st holmes? great stuff

Yes...They did a second album a few years ago and toured on it as well.

@@raythackston1960 Thought i heard that. Love Brads playing also. pure class

I really like both albums. Just great bluesy rock & roll.

Sweet Sally Yeah I think it's always a shame when a person's political views then get in the way of people listening to his music. People may not agree with his views, but it doesn't change the music. It's difficult to listen without prejudice I guess!

Wings of Pegasus It's about more than political views - Nugent's spent decades stirring up hate in my country. There are better players than him who haven't done that, so why wouldn't I spend time and money listening to them instead? It's not difficult to find good guitar players to listen to.

Nugent says what he feels.. He is unapologetic about how he feels.. People have got so thin skinned nowadays that if you look at them it hurts their feelings.. I believe in Ted's stance of immigration.. People call him racist, how is he racist? Because he doesn't want illeagals here?.. I believe what he says and I've been a fan of his music for 30 years.. As a guitarist he is good.. I'm a hardcore SRV fan so to me everyone is 2nd best, with the exception of Derek Trucks.. Derek is the best slide player I've ever seen.

Kyle S. Hello, I have to politely disagree with you! Stirring up Hatred? Against Who? Illegals? How dare he stir up Hatred against Illegal Aliens who come here Illegally and rape and kill American citizens! How dare he do that! We should all just roll over and say come on in and rape our daughters and wives and take all our money and steal our cars and kill us dead. What are you crazy? You must be a Liberal because you don’t make sense! The only thing Ted stirs up Hatred for is the Lack of Common Sense we don’t have anymore in this country! That’s what he Hates! Stupidity and Stupid laws, the Lack of Common Sense and Self Destructive and Self Defeating Behavior!! Now we have to Apologize for everything we do, think or say publicly because someone is offended! So no one can say or criticize anyone about anything! Ridiculous! We are living in a Politically Correct Prison Created by the Insane Left and their Media Backers! Your Not Allowed to Say what you think anymore about anything! A Real Man can’t say or do anything anymore for it might hurt someone’s feelings! Too Bad! Real life is rough and tough! If you can’t take it go join a convent!

@@KyleS.1987 Who's hate? The media, hollywood, and a music industries leftest leaning biased agenda. He's still rocking summer tours at age 70, seen him live in 3 different decades, still as good and loud as ever!

No problem!

Rkk O'Tilley Saw him in concert with special guest Alice Cooper

am 60 yrs young an still my philosophy is...if its to loud , youre to old...keep on truckin

really?!...that musta been an experience...nice

Yep, after my first Ted show, earplugs were a must... indoors or a Day on the Green! A favorite until Dime came up. Pantera playing Cat Scratch Fever... heaven.

He’s not from Cadillac

👍

U2+Kings of leon ripped off that shit, Ted was no Hendrix, no page, etc...but he was and is very important as far as the evolution of rock guitar.

classic7890 NEVER!

Gain is basically just volume ☺

Awesome!

James Tucker I was the same age back then and l absolutely loved this kind of music! There were so many good bands! It was a good time!👍😎🎸🎶

👍

@Kwai Chang Mandelbaum Ted's Cool as Hell ,My Moter City Madman,Just Dont Talk Guns Or Politics or Hunting and Your Good ,,Some Great Jam's From Him ,,Rock On 🤘🖤

@@rebelrocker7494 i know him, i lived just down the road from him for years. he's a selfish dickwad

To think how Ted was always sober as well is a trip. The dude never done drugs or drink.

@@ClownWhisper How so?

👍

i don't think ted gives a f#$% about the rnrhof !

Play perfectly to the songs he writes, sing great to, but hates Jeff Beck, Jimmy page, and just about everybody else haha

Will do!

Cool!

Cool! Yeah Damn Yankees were pretty awesome!

he's the greatest I've ever seen, seen him 1st in 1977 and 12 times since lol

that riff is whole reason I play guitar, every time I play electric at some point I do at least Cat Scratch intro. Sometimes even on acoustic!

First things first,not from Detroit and being he feels that he has the answer to what America needs to be great maybe someone can ask him how he feels about draft dodgers?

Amen!

Thanks!

Imo the live album “Motor City Mayhem The 5000st Concert” is one of the best live albums I have heard. I prefer many versions from that Album over the original, for instance Wango Tango and Fred Bear are flawless. Stranglehold is also really impressive on that version, Ted really gives it all. Such a shame they took that album off Spotify.

👍

This is a man who said on television said days before the the 2008 presidential election that by a year from that election that if Obama was elected, he'd either be dead or in prison--well, he didn't die or go to prison. This man was my favorite guitar player when I was a teenager--I wasn't a very bright teen

@Joseph Cocchiola --Wow--you really showed me with your rational, logical rebuttal. I would think you may want to take more care with your spelling if you call someone 'not very bright.'

@Joseph Cocchiola I pegged you as a Trump supporter by the negative tone of your reply, first thing. Yes, I'm for impeachment, I fear the damage it'll cause to our country, but it had to be done. He represents everything our founding fathers feared most, a president who wants absolute power, and is willing to burn everything down to get it. I never though I'd see such a man, such a threat, in America. This is the stuff of third world dictators, not the president of the United States

@Joseph Cocchiola I'm not going to argue with you, it's pointless. Let's just say we believe totally different things, see a different reality, and move on

@@michaelstevens4999 Wow, TDS showing much? Absolute power is what the Michigan Governor seems to want right now. You should take note of that.

Cool!
