Rolling Stone is a left leaning publication so they make decisions based on politics and not musical ability. They’re kind of like “real” imitation crabmeat… just not good.
Wow!! Derek St. Holmes!! What Amazing high energy that guy provided to Ted Nugent!! Outstanding Singing Voice!! I'll never forget in my younger days when I saw Ted Nugent. We all thought he was hopped up on super drugs man. He was hopped up on Adrenaline!! It's why they called in the Motor City Mad Man! Everywhere he played he created a Mad House!! 😊👍👍
Saw them open for Bad co. In Albuquerque n.m. in 1974.....they killed it...that lineup was so good...Derek was a great singer...and Rob was rock star cool...damn what a band....they opened thier own tour from that night on ....Ted was a showman. And that album was a masterpiece...
Hey Ted: "Why don't you record a new Album with the best Voice in Rock Mr. Derek St. Holmes?????" Ted your voice is OK but Dereks is "God"! Is your Ego too big or why is it not possible for you to create new Music with Derek????
Why? Ted is not the arrogant jerk people make him out to be especially when it came to things like singers. Ted had numerous people sing on his albums, I think he doesn't really either like to sing or like his own voice. So,in order to sell the albums and the music to sound as good as it can, he had Derek and others do the singing. I recently watched a video interview with Derek and wow do people have his and Ted's relationship all screwed up. Everyone says it was Nugents arrogance that drove Derek out of the band. According to Derek that was not the case, it was the fact of lifestyle differences. Nugent was drug and alcohol free, he drank once in awhile but never got drunk. The younger guys in his band, including Derek liked that party lifestyle too much and Ted cut them loose - That came right out of Derek's mouth!
@@in-rust-we-trust2831 hatred is why. Ignorance is another. People look at Ted's "arrogant" ways and think that he is just all about himself. If that were the case he would not have had a lead singer, he would have just done it all himself. Yes eventually it got to the point he just did it but that was due to the constant issues with people and their drugs. Holmes himself has said the reason for the breakup was due to him and other band members drug usage.
@@TheIkaika777 exactly.. Ted is arrogant but he is a team player as well. Look at how many others he had performing the vocals on his albums. I just don't think he liked to sing all the time. Also in regard to the damn Yankees, Ted surrounded himself with other "famous" performers, if it was all about him he would have hired nobodies and gotten all the attention, right?
You really wouldn't know it watching this but Derek is actually a really great guitar player himself, how you could you play along Ted all those years and not be? Nice SG custom too by the way!!
Always loved the vocals. Derek was as much responsible for that albums success as Nugent himself. Fantastic. Seen them several times in 76-77 in Knoxville, TN.
@jameslandon4245... Ha... In your dreams skippy... Derek was and is still awesome... but seriously... when most people went to a Ted concert... they're not there for the singer...
Yeah, they're all butt hurt over that. I would refuse to be added. That's like the Hollywood of rock and roll. Fuck them. Bunch of sell outs. Nugent is the real deal.@@Stolehome66
Exactly. When I was in high school in the 70s and saw Ted a few times I always wondered why the band was called Ted Nugent this other guy did all the singing and played a mean guitar. After Deric left the band went down hill in my ears.
I think of one sad thing.. in music...this was when ted and derrick... split... i did.nt... know of derrick holmz.. until i heard the tune hey baby... drive.in...... my jeep... i asked my friend..... who in the hell.... is singing for the nuge... we need to find out .... he.s awesome... this was truely.. one... of the great guitarist and vocalist... combnations...of the rock...n...roll scene... especially at the time......
I was supposed to see Ted open for Lynyrd Skynyrd when Artimus Pyle broke his arm in a bar fight . The when they had rescheduled ... Lynyrd Skynyrd had that horrible plane crash . I finally saw Ted on his Weekend Warriors tour and he BLEW THE ROOF OFF THAT PLACE ...LITERALLY ! Ted was a wild man in those day . I saw him again several times and once when he headlined the TEXXAS JAM ! Man.... those were incredible days . PK
Pure pure uncontaminated raw Rock-'n'-roll spirit and energy there. This singer is 10/10 as a rocker voice. Will definitely listen to more of his songs. Just discovered him now!
First Concert I've Ever Been To And I Still Feel The Music From The Big TN Like A Miracle Drug Running Through My Veins Today As It Did Way Back Then In The Early 80's. 😎
What i think dear aTeddy id that you are the best Baby!! Loved your concert at Soldier Field back in the 70's that my friends took me to!! You are truly incredible on that guitar Teddy!!!😍👍👍👍🥰
Went to see Arrow Smith & Edgar Winter. They had a special gust band. It was Ted Nugent. The first thing I had herd of him since the Amboy Dukes. They stole the show.
OCT. 1977 ANAHEIM CA. REO SPEEDWAGON... TED NUGENT... BLACK SABBATH... LYNYRD SKYNYRD. TED: appears on top of a stack of speaker 🔊 10 or 12 feet high.?. Giving a TED NUGENT...ear piercing scream... while... at the same time banging the guitar 🎸 with a deafing strum of the strings, Ted jumps off the speakers 🔊 lands on stage breaking out in the loudest and fastest guitar work/performance I've ever witnessed. Thanks for the memory TED 😜🤪
Nugent went through four labels with his band The Amboy Dukes. Discreet (his final label with The Amboy Dukes) refused to release another album with Nugent singing lead. His next, self-titled album, featured Derek St. Holmes on lead vocals. Without Derek, Ted would have been without a label.
Derek Was the foundation of the band. Ted was in constant turmoil over his well earned success. He would throw tantrums if too much spotlight was shown on Derek.
1.i love this lineup 2. Nugent and James Hetfield have got to be long lost relatives lol. 3 this line up which did ted nugent, free for all, cat scratch fever and double live gonzo need to be in the HOF
St .Holmes was one of the best sounding vocalists in rock history. Nugent , was one of the best guitarists in history. The drummer and bass player weren't bad either.
I think thee Electric Ballroom was in Chicago. Or maybe there was a chain of them. Cool to see this. Of course there were no music videos then....So rare.
YO Uncle Ted, b4 I put my glasses on, I thought u had Ben Stiller do a re enactment of you ALSO I was just saying to moms yesterday the term boogy woogy about a 1983 situation RTW but I was 4? God damn
I have one of those fender twins (same style built in 1971), I've had people offer me big money for me to sell it but .... NAAAAHHHH!!!!! (and i have cabinets for it too)
I can't comment on your fb feeds anymore brother as i'm permanently banned for telling the truth, i guess i could make another acct but i think i like it better this way to be truthful
Видеоклипы
Heard this a million times.....one of my favs NEVER get tired of this killer song! Great vocals Derek!!
Lets be honest almost every song he made is fire 🤗
I saw Ted with Nazareth in knoxville in 76, hard to believe that Rolling Stone didnt have Ted in the top 100 guitarists of all time

sure pal
all a big act, its rubbish
I love this line up, derek st.holmes was the perfect vocals for nugents shredding guitar granges flowing bass and davies beats

Best lineup
I think Meat Loaf was better... he seemed to fit right in, but he couldn’t play the guitar
Hey Ted: "Why don't you record a new Album with the best Voice in Rock Mr. Derek St. Holmes?????" Ted your voice is OK but Dereks is "God"! Is your Ego too big or why is it not possible for you to create new Music with Derek????
@@Arnie-Der-Sonnenkoenig You might want to look at some of Teds recent albums.
St holmes is insane and teds energy and playing.... one of the greatest songs of all time
uve gotta be kidding - Kylie minogue has performed songs greater than this!!
Takes me back to high school
Ted and Derek, great combo.Derek can still sing just as great!!!!!
And Ted is ageless!!!
St. Holmes has such a good voice. Must have driven Ted crazy.
Why? Ted is not the arrogant jerk people make him out to be especially when it came to things like singers.

WOW, listen to Derek St. Holmes....CRAZY good. The crazier thing is he sounds the same today!
Ted never was better than he was with Derick St Holmes..
Tim Stoop Yeah absolutely totally agree!
Ted and Derek are a great team!
Isn't it funny that when Derek St. Holmes left Ted learned to sound like him when he sang? I'm just sayin
Damn Yankees?
Killer vocals!!!
Ted still kicks ass.thank you Ted.
Saw him aug. 2017....
He kicked ass.....couldnt believe how good his voice was.....like gonzo all over!
Kicks ass! Phew, I thought you said sucks ass. I was just about to agree.
Always love watching this video...Derek, Rob, and Cliff...that was what made this band so special.
You really wouldn't know it watching this but Derek is actually a really great guitar player himself, how you could you play along Ted all those years and not be? Nice SG custom too by the way!!
Sweet guitar!
BETTER guitarist than Nugent and FAR better singer....
Um, yeah....Derek plays the opening ripping guitar on "Working Hard Playing Hard".
Absolutely, Derek rocks
Even today, Derek still got his golden throat and keeps singing great!!
Always loved the vocals. Derek was as much responsible for that albums success as Nugent himself. Fantastic. Seen them several times in 76-77 in Knoxville, TN.
Saw them in Louisville Kentucky 1979. I was probably tripping on something. 😂

@@ernslinger4333
Ted is singing better!
My Fave Ted Nugent song. Saw Him do it live in '77 He killed it!
I still listen to this song in my car on the IPod, This and Stormtroopers.
I saw Ted live, w/ Pat Travers & Scorpions, wow, what a loud fucking ' party! 1980?81? Still got the ticket, $8.00/$10 on day of show.
Damnit Ted, how did you let this band get away ?!
Ted let nothing go
Ego! He never recovered! Can't change the recipe and have it taste the same! Ted's
reign ended after Cal Jam II.
😂
Haha right 👉
@@shannonnunya2973owh we have a believer
GREAT!
Best line up
they should be in R&R Hall of fame
ABSOLUTELY
It won't happen because of Ted's political views.
FRRHF
Yeah, they're all butt hurt over that. I would refuse to be added. That's like the Hollywood of rock and roll. Fuck them. Bunch of sell outs. Nugent is the real deal.@@Stolehome66
This is what made Ted Nugent famous...his band and the vocals of my buddy Derek St. Holmes. Went down hill after this band was gone.
The band was great but even without them listen to Craveman it came out around 2000, killer record!
Meatloaf did a very good job onthe free 4 all Derick is quite awsome
@@frankierock1130 Yep, didn't know it was Meatloaf until 2 years ago and been listening to that album since I was 19 FFS - Hammerdown one of my favs.
Exactly, we got Scream Dream and Wango Tango after that, and the shit ran downhill after that.
Exactly. When I was in high school in the 70s and saw Ted a few times I always wondered why the band was called Ted Nugent this other guy did all the singing and played a mean guitar. After Deric left the band went down hill in my ears.
Ted does a weekly cast on RUclips now. He is 73 and he can still shred a guitar like he did 45 years ago.
Mr Dereck St Holmes,musically was the glove that best fitted Uncle Ted hand
Teds ego got it the way of common sense.
Derek has great pipes. Always enjoyed his work with Nuge
Nugent wasn't the same without him , frankly. Derek has one of the best rock voices I've heard: soulful but tons of power
Holy shit. This is one of the best rock and roll songs I have ever heard!
Doc called & said INSANE

In my Top Ten greatest rock songs ever.
We need more of this footage!
Where to find it?
Please
agree
I got me an overdose of rock n roll
N i like it
I remember seeing the group "Scott" back in the day with St. Holmes. He was a great guitar player.
Pure pure uncontaminated raw Rock-'n'-roll spirit and energy there. This singer is 10/10 as a rocker voice. Will definitely listen to more of his songs. Just discovered him now!
Big Crazy Thing is. We've 3
Listening to this guy all along
Super groupe !
Ne pas oublier que Ted est clean,pas de drogues,pas d'alcool.......juste une personne équilibrée
Yeah.... That a great one! One of my favorites!💪
Coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time
very nice the sound of the good old rock n roll hardrock and metal.i love it
Ted was always underrated as a performer and musician
nah, he was well below average
Uncle Ted always was a little nuts!..the way we liked... And Derek st. Holmes played guitar almost as well!
Hello,how are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here.
His best lineup by far…
First Concert I've Ever Been To And I Still Feel The Music From The Big TN Like A Miracle Drug Running Through My Veins Today As It Did Way Back Then In The Early 80's. 😎
opened up with this classic in 1978 in germany I was there!!!!!
Ted the craziest drug free mad man I've ever seen!!
Maybe he should have done drugs, might have made him a better person.
He'd ate less armadillo and skunk if he'd experienced half of what he puts out.
Nice... and filmed at Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta, Georgia.
the reason Uncle Ted was cocky...he's one of the best of AL:L time
He opened with this one in 77' when I saw him and rocked the place.
What i think dear aTeddy id that you are the best Baby!! Loved your concert at Soldier Field back in the 70's that my friends took me to!!
You are truly incredible on that guitar
Teddy!!!😍👍👍👍🥰
Seeing Derek with Schenker soon!!!!👍🏼🎸
Ted Nugent just plays guitar differently Ted Nugent badass chicken mad dog
Happy Birthday Ted Nugent Rock On !!!!!
This is what a real Tree Hunger is. He never Smoked, Drank or did Drugs. He just got high off playing that Guitar and Hunting..
Went to see Arrow Smith & Edgar Winter. They had a special gust band. It was Ted Nugent. The first thing I had herd of him since the Amboy Dukes. They stole the show.
love those tunes Derek was on..good ol daze
derek st holmes rocks on vocals
I saw every show that hit the gulf Coast... I think it's time to visit Uncle Ted Again.
Love it! Great show!

Derek ST HOLMES was & IS STILL one of the BEST singers in ROCK&ROLL👍👏☝️☝️
This is not only TN’s best song it’s the best version I’ve heard! Stellar performance
@Ron H. vocals are CLEARLY live
Double live gonzo is the best performance
I have to hear this over and over. Thanks a lot.
Damn if that aint the coolest riff
Legends of rock Derek and Ted Rock on 🤟
One of my favorites

Yep, without Derek, Ted would not have got off the ground.
Im from downriver grew up they uncle ted class of 1987
Met him once in Waco Tx and I like him
Now THIS is REAL music
Classic nugent !
Derek Was the foundation of the band. Ted was in constant turmoil over his well earned success. He would throw tantrums if too much spotlight was shown on Derek.
Too good
That is some seriously good looking guitars on display there.
Love this song!

Incredible
Сильнейшие рокеры суперская группа рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
If it wasn't for Derek, Ted would have never had the career he has, Derek and this album is when everything took off.
And Joe Perry only had a career because of Steven Tyler? Lots of guitar players just play while someone else does lead vocals.
Oh MG...the presolo bass and snare fill!
Favorite from my Favorites
Love the Music ♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️🎸♥️
Hello,how are you doing? It’s nice seeing you here.
Ted and Derek killed it back than. They were great together.
The motor city madman is still ripping in mich
Perfect!
Amazing Band!
Derek St. Holmes the awesome voice of the Ted Nugent band!!
these 4 badasses were spectacular right about this point
Ted got him an overdose of The Beatles Paperback Writer.
Copied the best and made it his own. Great rock song.
St .Holmes was one of the best sounding vocalists in rock history. Nugent , was one of the best guitarists in history. The drummer and bass player weren't bad either.
This is what I have to say this rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin Beaver should be taking notes
Uncle Ted Rocks!
Awesome
I think thee Electric Ballroom was in Chicago. Or maybe there was a chain of them. Cool to see this. Of course there were no music videos then....So rare.
Singer is the bomb
YO Uncle Ted, b4 I put my glasses on, I thought u had Ben Stiller do a re enactment of you ALSO I was just saying to moms yesterday the term boogy woogy about a 1983 situation RTW but I was 4? God damn
Ted Nugent miming.
The master of self-parody.
Yep, been a parody all his life. Think it's a mental illness he's got.
I liked his double live gonzo album when I was 15. Then I grew up. Too bad he never did.
If rockers let themselves grow up they end up looking like Keith Richards.
Good point, when I Left my teens I realised what a prat he was - still love the old stuff mind.
Shame on you. 56 and still worship DLG.
Great record
Ted Nugent kicks butt period 🎸👍👍
Ted rules but he has to thank Derek for his work, Derek is very very good
I have one of those fender twins (same style built in 1971), I've had people offer me big money for me to sell it but .... NAAAAHHHH!!!!! (and i have cabinets for it too)
