cant believe the Professor of Rock, one of Youtube's popular music channels interviews Ted Nugent, and his impact on rock. Yeah, his Gibson Byrdland after 4 decades is still alive :)

[max americana]

Professor of Rock channel breaks down the history of rock and roll songs from lyrics to licks. I watch his vids and still learn about stuff from Led Zep to The Cure.

“Journey to the Center of your Mind” Come along if you can, Amboy Dukes..... First time I ever heard a guitar used as an assault weapon. WOW, it was and still is great

Here is Uncle Ted's latest song uploaded to Youtube just six days ago.

Ted Nugent - "Come And Take It" Lyric Video 2:35

Probably not destined to become a classic but not bad IMO.

saw that tour in Buffalo and got a white Tux-jacket wi the CSF cover screened on the back, they were selling them for $10

good times

[lee martell]

Did somebody say The Cure?
I discovered them late. Roger Smith is a great songwriter in that style of music. Very creative.
One of the first songs that caught my attention was
“Close To Me”. A very simple melody, leading into a fantastic jazzy saxophone solo. Many more.

Robert Smith.

[max americana]

good times is an understatement lol

[crusty old prospector]

“Pictures of You.”

[lee martell]

Oh, is it Robert? Thanks.
I’m as bad as that former goverment worker saying;
“I love Eric Clapner!”

“Did somebody say The Cure?”

I grew up listening to the Cure, Smiths etc. One of his most recent vids was how “friday Im in Love” became their biggest hit. I saw the Cure live on their Wish tour when I was a kid. At my HS prom there were at least 3 dudes who came in as Robert Smith including the big hair.

[ifinnegan]

Yeah. Jocelyn Elders, Clinton’s reprehensible Surgeon General.

[lee martell]

Love it. It’s the sort of song. Most people could identify with the basic lyrics. Looking at a picture of someone you cherish.

I think the intro uses a ukelele, producing the effect of enchantment.
It appears again at the bridge.

One of his most recent vids was how “friday Im in Love” became their biggest hit.

"Just Like Heaven" should have been their biggest hit, and though I haven't heard it in years it's still one of my favorites - an almost perfect example of pop music.

[Chode]

yeah, pretty much...

[Pez149]

I remember catching Ted at his first New York appearance.
He came out playing on top of his stack of speakers with his trademark barnie kessel guitar.
Excellent show..
He opened for Aerosmith during their “Toys in the Attic” tour..

[FreedomForce]

It’s an outrage that Ted isn’t in the Rock abd Roll Hall of Fame.

[Celtic Conservative]

I really like his format, and more and more he seems to be getting some big names for interviews.

“He opened for Aerosmith during their “Toys in the Attic” tour..”

No way! Professor of Rock has a video on Walk this Way’ (Run DMC) and the Toys in the Attic Tour. Things I learn..

[max americana]

politics of course. Everyone knows he’s gonna flamethrower the place at his speech.

My older brother had the original Head on the Door album, and he would listen to it and annoyingly I had to or he would kick my ass. (2 brothers growing up in the same room) . Years later, I talk to the clerks at Guitar Center here near Sunset and the manager tells me that The Cure and Smith go there first before they start their US tours. The story was that Robert Smith in the 80’s was in town and broke his strings. Close to midnight they were closing when the store clerks saw him at the back, and they re-opened the store for him. Supposedly the only time Guitar Center opened the store but closed to the public near 1 am so Robert Smith can buy strings.
