Topic: WHAT ABOUT TED NUGENT

Probably another USA/EUROPE CLASH.
WHO is Ted Nugent? I know "stranglehold" but when did he start, did he play in a band, solo and when?

Re: WHAT ABOUT TED NUGENT

Ted Nugent is the longest lasting one-hit wonder in the recorded history of music.   He had a massive and well deserved hit with Stranglehold, and every single thing the guy has done since has been garbage.

"The Motor City Madman" isn't even the best guitar player in Detroit any more.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: WHAT ABOUT TED NUGENT

One hit wonder? C'mon man, gotta give Terrible Ted more credit than that. He certainly filled a niche in his day, and considering the times, was more original than many artists since. A few items from wiki:

Nugent has amassed a sizable list of well-known songs, including "Journey To The Center Of The Mind", "Stranglehold", "Free For All", "Dog Eat Dog", "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang", "Cat Scratch Fever", "Motor City Madhouse", "Paralyzed", "Great White Buffalo", and "Wango Tango". 

To date, he has released more than 31 recordings and sold more than 35 million albums. Nugent is famous for playing the semi-hollow Gibson Byrdland. Gibson Guitar Corporation has developed a model named for him.

So he's a 60 year old rocker, been touring over 40 years. I've seen him live several times and he always put on a great show - I remember one where he came out from the rafters, swinging on a rope over the crowd - like Tarzan on a vine. If he's not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, he should be (just for Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang alone big_smile )

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: WHAT ABOUT TED NUGENT

Friends thanks. The only "NUGENT" song I know is STRANGLEHOLD, also one of the EASIEST songs to play. It sounds nice acoustic, but playing this with a FAT GIBSON SOUND.....

Topdown...Thanks for the "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" reference. I had forgotten. I'm laughing out loud. I'm sorry, he's not the 1st guitarist you think of when the word great comes up and sure personnally he's sort of nutty and maybe annoying to some but like you say he made "Wang Dang Sweet Pontang". The defense rests!!!!!!!

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Re: WHAT ABOUT TED NUGENT

LOL Geo - I think Ted peaked at about the right time in my adolescence. Cat Scratch Fever was released when I was 14 - Ted was the Man!

I say I think, I think I say...there ain't nobody out there want to be mellow tonight!

You and I are very close in age... I'm still laughing. He get's my vote for the lyrics alone. You can't mention Cat Scratch Fever without mimicikng the riff!!!
