Okay...so I'm old.
53 tomorrow (gag).
So Nugent was being Nugent and this is somehow news?
I read that again - and I'm not sure I understand what Kevin is complaining about. Maybe someone can explain it.
Add in Mojo Nixon, Reverend Horton Heat and Southern Culture On The Skids and it would have been a perfect night.
Ah, Ted Nugent:
Probably the next non-Dimocrat (and non-female) governor of Michigan!
Wang Dang Sweet Poontang!!
Whose your daddy
Whose your man
Whose your friend
None of that matters when you're playing for the troops, of course, which is where these two hit it off. For Ted to be doing what he's doing for the troops more than makes up for a few minutes of off-kilter antics while waiting for the superstar to take the stage.
Toby should switch parties...the Dems won't share his values again in his lifetime...
Toby's appearing up here in August and the show is already sold out! But I don't think Ted's going to make it this far up north.
No offense intended to Toby Keith (a great singer and patriot on his own right), but Nuge is a frickin' guitar god. He is the wildman, the madman, the ear-splitting, poon-chasing gonzo icon of millions of right-wingers (myself included, of course) who don't identify with the more stodgy personas of the Republican party (Fallwell types, etc.). Like Sam Kinison and South Park, Ted gets the message across with badass style and plenty of cool to spare.
God, Guns, meat, and Metal-- there's no way that Keith could keep up with Terrible Ted...and when the Nuge strikes up the opening guitar feedback of "Stranglehold", you better watch out!
I was at that show at Soldier Field, that would have been the one with Skynyrd. correct? Great show.
Best concert I ever saw in my life was Terrible Ted. Legend Valley, 25 years ago.
Well. There it is. I think the Nuge makes a heck of a lot of sense and that really drives the Church ladies batty. Long live rock!
The original "Kiss My Ass" was about x42 and reno. I had a tape of it from a Rockline special that was run on Memorial Day back around 1993/94 but it was stolen in the tape player.
Crawford ping.
Didn't see that one, but I used to see Ted & the Dukes at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in the late 60s. Biggest treat was hearing him plug in behind closed curtains -- he'd crank the Byrd through that big stack of Fenders and deliver some of the greatest Godzilla roars you ever heard. And that hummingbird vibrato with those long-sustained, sweetly-distorted notes turning into feeback on-demand. My favorite sounds on earth at the time...
A good show I remember was the Agora, Columbus, Ohio, about 1970. The Amboy Dukes with Glass Harp, featuring a young Phil Keaggy, as the opening act. Good stuff!
PS -- yeah, my hearing's just fine. Why do you ask? ;^)
I've been a Nuge fan since I was a little kid. But my admiration for him went up still further after reading that comment.
WHAT!? No "Stormtrooper" {;^)
Methinks this Kevin character (author) is a pantywaisted little wimp. Just an opinion, mind you.
