Why Ted hasn't been inducted into The R & R Hall of Fame is a disgrace and centers directly on his political views, which is pure nonsense. He's a superb guitarist and entertainer. Politics shouldn't bloody well EVER enter into the world of music. Ted is one of a kind and to this day gives his fans an incredible concert experience.
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.
Uncle Ted was a great entertainer and a very underrated guitarist
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?????
Talk about under rated and overlooked by the RHOF. This guy is a show man. He was the original guitar god, madman entertainer, coming on stage swinging on a vine like Tarzan. He should be in the same conversation as all the British guitar legends, like Page, Beck, Clapton, etc...
I saw Ted as the warm up act for Aerosmith around 1982 and he absolutely blew Aerosmith away without question.
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!
I saw this guy in 75 and he was off the rails!!! He was wearing a litttle fur loinclothe with a fox tail and he stood on these 20 foot high speakers, swinging from one side of the stage to the other with his guitar hanging around his neck!!! It was totally insane!!! One of the greatest shows I've ever seen!!! The Moter city Madman indeed!!! YOU DA MAN TED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes indeed. Schoolcraft College 1975. Astounding performance.
I don't give a HOOT about his politics! Ted's concerts were FUN!!!!
😂👍
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.
And Uncle Ted, as he's referred to today, never did drugs in his whole life. He's really amazing when he speaks too. Very well spoken. Smart guy.
@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.
I saw Ted at the Erie County Fieldhouse in '79. After the intermission he started playing some sick feedback off stage and then must have hit a trampoline to fly over his main amps and land in center stage. Without missing a beat he went right into Stranglehold! I've never seen anything like it before or since.
Everything about this song is incredible. The bass line, the drums, obviously the vocals. The whole song is like one long guitar solo. One of the greatest rock songs of all time IMO.
This consert took place 1976 in Germany.. It was shown on German television under the title ROCKPALAST. Many greetings from Germany. Viele Grüsse aus Deutschland : - )
I was in HS and local hi fi store was marketing “quadraphonic” sound systems, they put on Ted’s album with Stranglehold and it was memorable in volume and power. Not a huge Nugent fan these days but I’ve always admired his sense of music history and how it influenced him. He never did drugs or alcohol and has always been himself, polarizing as that is, at least he is honest. Solid guitar player as well.
On fire! And he's got his very own sound. He developed it early on in Amboy Dukes. There's no way to mistake his playing for someone else.
👍
Nah. I notice a big similarity between Ted and Billy Thorpe.
There was always something savage and raw about Ted’s ability and yet sharp as dagger. Ted is such a force and he ranks with the best.Glad he is still alive and playing.We have lost so many great ones.
Ted's one of the greatest guitar players of all time! He's also never drank or done drugs which makes him a very rare Rockstar indeed, especially since he reigned during the 60s and 70s. He has his own distinctive sound which nobody can replicate. He's also a very colorful character to behold.
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.
I love Nugent. He is rock n roll!
I love Uncle Ted's politics as well as his Badass playing
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!
what a man ..hes the best in music and as a person. we love TED. thank you wings.
Lucky Detroiter here. The Motor City Madman performed New Year's Eve concerts at Cobo Hall. What a great party! Sad day when he moved to Texas... Thanks for great analysis.
Let’s not forget the incredible play on bass guitar by the innovative Rob Grange! Like Nugent and St. Holmes, Grange was integral to the monstrous success of Stanglehold!
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. 👍🏻
I was at Cal Jam 2 in 78 ! We hitchhiked to Ontario motor speedway from the Valley and I got front row for some of Santana! For Ted I fell band a few thousand yards (about 5 football fields) back and was stuck there for hours! Another time I was in the front row at the Ventura Theater for the whole show and went deaf for a few weeks!
I was first introduced to Ted when I was a freshman in Highschool. I am now 58 and when people ask me who my favorites are, Ted is still at the top of the list, and "Stranglehold" is ALWAYS the first thing I play on any new audio equipment, and has been for years. Ted is indescribable. A true one of a kind and one Hell of a guitar player. I'm also fond of "Light My Way". The way his guitar seems to dance around the central music line of the song always gets me going. Great videos. I am really enjoying them, Fil!
You have a incredible station of content, education and commentary
Thanks for the hours of entertainment you’ve given me.
Saw him play in '86 and he was running around on top of the marshal stacks before jumping off them, playing the whole time. One of the best showman I've seen, one hell of a guitarist.
Speaking of 70's guitarists, may I suggest Frank Marino and his band Mahogany Rush?
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 - ruclips.net/video/rYDBuBaR16A/видео.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.
Terrible Ted saved me from the disco era; he kept me sane.
🤘👍
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.
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve seen Nugent in concert more than any other artist. He ALWAYS puts on a great concert. IMO Stranglehold is one of the best rock songs ever written.
Do you think he should have been included in the billboard’s top 100 guitar players
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
Double Live Gonzo is my favorite, me and my neighbors listen to it all the time.
If anybody came here to get mellow....😂
Ted Nugent was the shit back in the day. Saw him play countless times in and around Detroit. He takes a lot of heat these days for his political views and rants, but he was a very influential guitarist back in the late 60's and 70's.
👍
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.
Hey Phil...love your reviews and reactions!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Refreshing to hear an honest review of the greatness that is The Nuge without political bias. No doubt in my mind that he should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame......but we know what that's all about.
The first tape I bought when I started driving my car at 16 late 80s was Double Live Gonzo. Ahhhhh the nostalgia! Thanks bud.
Stranglehold always made the list at the high school parties.
Ted is a force of nature. There is nobody quite like him!
👍
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.
once again FIL, I'm blown away from your analysis.
Ted can sustain a note for years. Double Live Gonzo is a great live disk.
👍
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.
I was blessed to have seen Ted early 70s. Hara Arena Dayton Ohio. He put on a great show and closing he brought out a red strat and I swear I couldn't hear for 2 days. Thanks Fil for the memories !
not that anyone cares but this is one of the first tunes I learned after I switched fro acoustic to electric. I was prob 14. I was absolutely mesmerized by this song. That bass with the phase shifter on it and the guitar sound and godz... the feedback he was able to get and the infinite sustain... Ted was really great in '76. I was just starting to learn elec songs around... '77. So after this and Boston and Kiss.... 78 comes VH and I'm scratching my head. hahah
I don't care for Ted's misogynistic beliefs nor his politics but he could play the guitar back in the day. I don't think he ever improved upon what he did in Stranglehold. I've never seen him play anything beyond blues rock that he did in this song. But context... back then, it was amazing.
5:57 wtf? why would someone edit it to repeat like that? that is NOT how they played it nor how the song goes. ???
I THINK Ted actually just turned his vol up and down for the various parts of the song and that really ooowy tone of course is the bridge pickup. He uses that in the middle of the long solo part.
Nice vid!
👍
@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?
Got to see Ted with the Amboy Dukes in the early days at a venue called Sherwood Forest in Davison MI....Wild Wednesday. Saw Uncle Ted, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, Mitch Rider, MC5, Stevie Wonder. It was considered the Woodstock of Michigan. Ahhh, those the days!
Well, I wonder why this showed up in my feeds? Nice review....shame Ted's not in the RnR Hall of Fame but we all know why. One of the reasons, I'm fond of Ted is his ability to say, "the hell with it". He doesn't back down. He expresses his opinion. He doesn't go with the flow. Not many people are like him. BTW, my son was fortunate enough to go to his Kamp For Kids. It was awesome and an experience he will never forget. This isn't often talked about when it comes to Ted. I remember the first time I heard his album "Ted Nugent". I still remember where I was & said, "who is that"? I was awestruck and have been a fan ever since. BTW, check out his song Sweet Sally :o). Yes, I've met Ted.
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!
Your awesome because you always find the positive things about each guitarist. Never say anything negative about anyone. That's pretty cool dude!
Back when concerts LIVE no backing tracks or auto tune just plug in turn it up and let it rip
Amen!
Great analyse................Big fan of Nugent.......greetings from Utrecht, Holland
Loved Ted. He says what he thinks. So refreshing
My first concert in 1979, I was 13... Ted Nugent with warmup groups Scorpions and Def Leppard...Rock
I grew up in Michigan, and we used to see him at a place called Sherwood Forest from 1969 - 1973 frequently. He was just a kid, but he was as good as anyone any where making music during those years. This guy was hard wired straight to an electrical socket
😅
One of the best concert s I ever saw,, 1982,poughkeepsie n.y.
Rush and Nugent 12-29-75, Cobo Hall, Detroit. Rush played 2112 in entirety and most of Fly by Night. Nugent did the Ted Nugent album almost entirely, plus Journey to..., White Buffalo, Migration, all the usual suspects. Best show ever. Ears rang for days.
I saw Ted back in 1978. He is Great Live!
I saw that tour and they used to put warnings on the tickets about ear damage within the first 10 rows. I was a teenager in the 70s and we used to go to headliner concerts every night of the week. My girlfriend from back then tells me she has two shoeboxes full of concert stubs from the shows we saw together.
Cool!
back when concerts cost $3...got some too
Here in San Antonio Texas , Ted played Fiesta , nothing better than Nugent live outdoors at night . Look at Double Live Gonzo and all the songs on it recorded here in texas . You rock Fil .
I’m old and feel lucky to have seen them many, many times! Ted is FUN. Thanks for bringing these older bands to the forefront for future generations.
Hi Fil. Ted is 74 years old now, still has his Birdland. He's been touring doing concerts. He got a new album, Detroit Muscle. He's just as sharp and tight as he was. If you get a chance, check out his latest videos. He does a few with Derek.👍
Teddy playing on Dave Letterman sitting in a chair is pretty incredible too
👍
I saw that. Dave asked him, “Hey Ted! Are you still the Motor City Madman?” It was one great show that night.
God bless uncle Ted! He is the motor city madman! And he is a patriot! 🇺🇸
His biggest influence is R&B and the 60s Motown sound. The riffs are rough, but the rhythm is soulful. That's the best way I can describe it. 🙄 Great analysis Fil! Tha
Thanks!
Derek St. Holmes. Underrated.
Brings back memories of seeing Uncle Ted in the 70's! One of the loudest concerts ever. Stranglehold is epic.
The first time I saw ted was in 1976. He opened a bill that included nazerth,lynyrd skynyrd and aerosmith. At r.f.k stadium in washington d.c. I had heard of him. But didnt know his music. He was really good. The next time I saw him in 1978. He had this new band called van halen open for him. Another killer concert.
Derek St. Holmes has one of the smoothest voices. If Ted woulda let him sing all the songs, that woulda been grand. Don’t care for Teds screaming. Thanks for the upload. A classic song
Saw him swing onto the stage of the Veterans Mem. Coliseum on a rope!
All hail the Brown Deluxe tone!
Yow!!! Saw this guy 4rth July 76 or 77 in Rockford Illinois. It was brutally hot and he still ran around the stage like a maniac! At one point he did jump down from the camps as he did here. Never missed a note! And you talk about buzzed out hair. It was wild!! He's one of my all time favs. Thanks for this vid. Great commentary as always. YOU.ROCK🎸🎸🎶
I saw Ted in December of 1973 at the Duluth Arena Auditorium in Duluth Minnesota. It was in the Auditorium instead of the arena so tje sound was great but I couldn't hear right for days after the concert.
Your telling me this guy don't belong in the Hall of Fame!?!? I bet you all the thumbs down on this are liberals! Just saying it's a disgrace who they put in the Hall and Uncle Ted will never be put in??!! Motor City Madman is badass!
Great show
Yes!!! He puts on a show like all the creative best ... Angus Young, Roy Clark and Glen Campbell come instantly to mind ... all played with feeling and emotion.
Uncle Teds the reason my left ear aint hearing so well!😆..Deer Creek Indiana 1996 front row
✌💛🤘
Ted will always be a sentimental favorite of mine as he played at the first rock concert I attended. He opened for Aerosmith at Giants Stadium in New Jersey in Aug 1978. Also on the bill was Journey and Mahogony Rush. Needless to say, it was a mindblowing day for an impressionable 13 year old boy who was compelled to take guitar lessons shortly thereafter.
As an American i can't help loving Uncle Ted !!!!
Ted's shows never disappointed.
Phil I also wanted to tell you that you are the best on RUclips. I love your smile, you thoroughly love the music. I am a classic rock nut it is my life’s soundtrack. I love how you breakdown the lyrics, and music. Again you are the best by far IMO on RUclips! Thank you for keeping the best music alive!
Thanks for the kind words!
Wings of Pegasus thank you for doing these!
Just great!
Of all the bands I saw in the 70's Ted always put on the best show. Balls out all the way through.
Love Ted! Double Live Gonzo is an awesome Album!😎🤘
Watch Ted perform Hibernation live 45 yrs ago on RUclips. Unreal.
am so glad you have the balls to "analyze" uncle teds' balls out rock n roll...partly I blame my hearing loss on him....my ears rang for 3 days after one of his concerts....again , my respects for you , to review his skills and musicianship ..tyvm
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.
I was front row in the Seattle Center Coliseum when Point Blank opened then the Scorpions on their first tour played then Ted came swinging out on a rope in a loin clothe... Incredible Show...
Ted really is a great player. A real showman. Oh, and the bass line in this song is amazing.
Amen!
I had the pleasure of playing drums for Derek St. Holmes in the mid 1990's. He was a great vocalist and is a great guitarist in his own right. He played all parts in his band. I met Rob Grange (who is the bass player on this video) when he jammed with us and he was awesome player as well. I also became friends with Cliff Davies who is the drummer. All were great players and performers in their own right. The late 70's was a great time for R&R bands!
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.
Uncle Ted rules!
" Ya' gotta kill it before ya' grill it."
🤘
“Animals have the right to be tasty”
On of the most underrated guitarists of all time
You either loved or hated Ted Nugent. Personaly I really enjoyed him. And now he has earned my repect. He is diffently a man of his word. Even wild men grow up! Haha!
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.
HI FIL YOU DO A REALLY GOOD JOB. THANKYOU. YOU ARE THE BEST. COOL STUFF YOU GUYS DO.THANKS. TED N. ROCKS. I LIKE THE WAY YOU GET INTO IT. COOL. PEACE AND LOVE
Never get bored of 'Stranglehold'
👍
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!
Uncle Ted has said his influences included Chuck Berry and Little Richard
analyzing ted nugent is a dreamers dream ... they only wish they could shred like ted
this one of those that I prefer the studio version to hear all the details of the solo..
Something else to remember was given his ridiculous sound levels on stage (at the time he was using 6 x Fender Twin Reverbs and 6 x Dual Showman cabinets on stage,) he was still able to control the feedback, as well as using it as a part of his sound, with his Gibson Byrdland hollowbody. Requires tremendous technical ability to play a hollowbody at those sound levels.
Eye-opening technical comments, Fil. I played classical lute and guitar for 15 years but never touched an electric axe. I'm not even sure what 'gain' is. I remember guitarists of the 60s wandering around the stage, looking for the best feedback spot, and sometimes not finding it. The sustain achieved by Peter Green and Paul Kossof struck me as sheer magic. Super-natural, even.
Gain is basically just volume ☺
Excellent observations. Agree that the vocals also standout with the amazing guitar work.As a 16 year old in 1976, this music was very important to me then, and now as well. Rock!
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!👍😎🎸🎶
I love Ted and his POLITICS 🤘🤘 Rock on Ted, one day to see you if not here, there☝️
Ted actually was 17 when the Amboy Dukes did Journey to the Center of the Mind. Always a wild man. This album, shocked me when it came out, it's actually quite good. Of course as with most good albums, it was worn out. He loves those L5 Gibson's (microphonics & all). Ted never lacked enthusiasm, or did he "bite his tongue". Quite a long career. I remember when he toured the bar circuit in the early 70s as Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes.(of course I was too young to see them when they played my hometown). Ted has his own style, always has. He was there in the early days, when Jimi Hendrix, Janis, Steppenwolf, etc were just getting started. I'm a fan, but I lost interest after Cat Scratch Fever.(I thought he was much better than that). Be that as it may, Ted is still the wild man of American Rock. Thanks for this Fil. Of course a history, of his career would've added a bit to this vid. As my ex mother in law in Atlanta would say "Keep on, keeping on, Baby". You're videos & analysis are must see for me. (Now if only you'd record one of my tunes. Joking of course.) Great job.
I think I first heard Ted via the "Amboy Dukes". I have walked/Hitched a LOT of miles with Uncle Ted and my Walkman.. ;)
seen him with the Amboy Dukes way back when, first time I ever seen someone play guitar standing on a stack of marshalls
I got to see Ted Live on the Wango Tango tour, The little jump om the stage was rather sadate for Ted. When I seen him he jumped from thevMarshall Stack. At the least a good 15 foot drop. He hit the stage did a roll and came up playing.
I've seen and heard countless Ted shows and bootlegs, but this show is one of his many peaks. During Motor City Madman he jumps off his Fender Twin stacks about 10 feet in the air. His Hibernation solo from this show is a high point in all of guitar playing. Insane feedback control. Fender Twins and Dual Showman bottoms.
5:56 is edited, repeating the beginning of Ted’s solo.
My favorite Nuge song! Also "Together" w/ Meatloaf on vocals, before anyone knew Meatloaf!! When I got that album, my mother would yell, "turn that noise down"! 😂 I still crank it up and soak in the mojo! Only Ted can pull off a show in a loin cloth!! Another great one Fil! ❤️
Great White Buffalo off Double Live Gonzo is pretty awesome, too
He sure had a lot of confidence in himself. I witnessed him swinging off the stage by a rope. And back to another spot and start his guitar licks. Pretty impressive. As was stated his showmanship added to his free style playing.
