Spent last weekend with Derek, Dave, and John at the Juke Joint festival in Clarksdale, MS. They are the most talented and nicest people one could ever meet. They played at Ground Zero Blues Club and it was MAGICAL. SOOO GOOD.
Ted had the largest head in the business, not much for acknowledging the talent around him, it was a Derek song that got him on the radio when I was young, Hey Baby
@@frankd.506 on the other hand I have heard Ted brag about Derek st. Holmes vocal talents in interviews. Really talked him up. So, it's just that Ted knows What's happening at the show. Well Derek we'll talk after singing beautifully Ted Nugent wants to rock and roll some more
@@georgemijatovic3779 He might have mellowed with age ,it's good to hear because Derek is still extremely talented, I had the enormous pleasure of opening for a band he was in with Jeff Carlisi and Liberty Devito and I couldn't believe how down to earth they were, I was almost embarrassed being the opener and wanting to be professional but I brought two DSH albums to get signed because I have a sizable collection I'm rather proud of and remembering how cool he was saying it was an honor and jokingly said I almost forgot about the album with him and Brad Whitford,side sad note, Ben Orr of the Cars was a member but past before that show.Have a great weekend and a better 2021 PS Ive seen Ted and he's a blast too don't get me wrong. .
I had the great pleasure to play with Derek in the mid 1990's. He is a great player, singer/songwriter and a great person. he was the voice of the Ted Nugent Band. My favorite singer of the 1970's...I feel lucky to have played drums for him.
Almost could have met you but timing slightly off, my band opened for that Derek, Carlisi and Devito project, The Big Ones I believe it was called, really cool all of them down to earth no super star arrogance shit I brought my St.Paradise and my Whitford / St. Holmes's albums to get autographed ,not very professional but I didn't care and I think Derek was honored by it,the only bad thing was they didn't do Live It Up and I was like WTF because we did a killer version of it but of course we didn't thinking they would and he's like you guys should have and we would have loved to pay him homage because lord knows if it were up to colossal head Ted nobody would know his name
@@frankd.506 Meh...a little twisted. Ted always gives Derek and his band props. And, if not for Ted, We may not know shit about Derek. I'm a Derek fan because of Ted.
Damn listen to that voice, Derek's 66 or 67 and his voice is powerful and sounds fantastic, most singers from back in the day his age are tuning down and struggling to be able to sing not Derek "fantastic" rock on🤘🏻
Only recently became aware that he was the one playing lead guitar at the beginning of the long Solo in Wang dang Sweet poontang from double live Gonzo. He still sounding incredible!
Derek! you were a great force behind the Nuge!.. Sorry Nuge never gave his band the recognition that they deserved, .... All our Nuge fans really know you made Ted who he is today ... Ted is still a kick-ass, but Derek... You are awesome!... :)
Excuse me but I gotta get some of this . Mr DSHolmes is nothing short of being a bad cat his vocals are second to none & his strings well they speak for themselves . {JohnnieBazil }
i dont know why but.... i think its divine intervention.....this song interupts my life every cople weeks un intended. And i think it helps my heart. Fucking a Derrik u dserve tops....Someones about to rain on my P ....uhg feeee
Ted without Derek = no quality content but good guitar sounds, Derek without Ted = shitte music good vocals. And remember Rob Grange and Cliff Davies without those guys it doesn't work. They are the Wild Four it shouldn't only be Nugent and Holmes.
No doubt Derek is great...but not the lead guitarist or showman uncle Ted is. Btw, someone let that bass player to feel free to harmonize during the chorus. He has a mike.
