Kid Rock, he noted, had just kicked off a record-breaking string of 10 sold-out shows at Detroits DTE Energy Music Theater.
While the crowd of 15,000 was expecting Rocks hits, including Cowboy and Born Free, they werent expecting the Motor City Madman himself.
Just as Rock was launching into the intro of Cat Scratch Fever, Nugent stormed the stage and demonstrated why he was named Detroits Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by readers of MLive, his website reported.
The resulting jam was an indelible moment for Detroit fans.

Had the privilege of doing Strangle Hold with a buddy last night at a jam session at a local establishment. He carried the heavy stuff though. Not Ted but we did a credible job. :>}
Favorite song off Double Live Gonzo, with Great White Buffalo a close second.
Ah man...Double Live Gonzo...a classic. Live albums. DOUBLE Live albums. I’m so old.
I met him in 1978..................
Stranglehold and Hey Baby are a few of my favs. Go Ted! My dad used to have a pair of Altec/Lansing concert speakers that were about 3ft wide and 4 ft tall. Huge tweeter on top and 12 or 14 inch base on the bottom.
They were about 10 ft apart and we used to sit in front of them and play this stuff full blast! I’m surprised I can still hear.
What? LOL! Some days my tinitus is really aggravating. Like right now. But, there’s another jam session at one of the casino pools tonight so, gotta go play. :>} (Should have been 15” or 18” speakers on the bottom. I think.)
Probably. I just know they were big and loud! We played Van Halen, Frampton, ELO, etc... Lots of rock!
“Some days my tinitus is really aggravating”
I got mine playing a strat through a Mesa Boogie .22 amp and 4 x 12 Celestion speakers.
Deaf in left ear (almost).
70’s vintage 100W Marshall head, Peavy double stack cabinet back in the day.
Got an old Mesa Boogie Mark III head and cabinet as well that my old band mates christened PSH... for “Pure Screaming Hell”. Ran my old American Strat with DiMarzios through it.
“Stranglehold” was our opening tune in one band, back in the day, followed “Just What The Doctor Ordered”.
The Nuge was in KC last summer. Was a religious experience for sure. Obama was staying just a couple blocks from the Midland Theater where Nugent was performing. His commentary was worth the price of admission! Ted Nugent for President!
I was at a garage sale a few weeks ago and came upon A 1968 Fred Bear Bearcat bow, made in Grayling.
I’m not much of an archer, but heck yea I bought it.
He was a member of The Amboy Dukes before he went solo................
"Obama is the enemy of America.
His fundamental transformation curse is weakening America by the day, exposing us to allah stormtroopers.
RAISE HELL America & demand your elected employees put an end to this insane suicide!Ted Nugent
