Ever LOVE the intro to a song......

13 years ago

These days, anytime there is an intro regarding Ted Nugent, I seem to lose interest :p

he comes off more 'madman' than 'motor city' now...

Thanks

  Well, this one starts off as a pretty good children's tune, but quickly goes downhill due to extreme over-sharing ...

Every since I found out he never did drugs or had wild drunken parties... he just didnt fit the image he projects to me anymore sadly.

However, the first hard rock song I ever learned on guitar was cat scratch fever. I went to this guys house with my friend and he had a les paul and a big marshall half stack amp, cranking out that rhythm in his garage. I was freakin HOOKED....those chords vibrated through my whole being in that garage that day, you could FEEL the amp pushing out crunchy air! It just thumped through your whole body. I couldnt believe how much power was there just from hitting a chord.

Anyway, he taught it to me.

I was never the same after that day...I became electrified, so I have alot to thank Nuge for!

Trust me, when you are hitting these chords through a big marshall stack they are even ten times more powerful sounding than listening to this recording. Awesome feeling. Will never forget that day.

I had been a big Ted fan for a long time, and even knew he was a 'clean liver' back then (no one would believe me

) he had something like 20k worth of amps and guitars by the time he was 14 :p
He's just been a bit more vocal rather than instrumental for me nowadays...:rolleyes:

So Ted was even a spoiled rich kid?:p

Not even a hood rat?

He wasnt really "street"?

I hate that.

I had already been playing guitar for a couple of years when I met this guy, I had just never been that close to an electric because we couldnt afford one!

Thanks

No - he wasn't a spoiled kid - he earned the money playing gigs! Stacks of money bought stacks of amps. He was earning his 'Motor City' street cred early...he needed to play with older guys because he needed a ride to the show!

(and why he worked so hard to avoid the draft - he was making so much money, but not cool now to act all 'hawkish', and put down some others who dodged, or were not even old enough at the time)
(not cool to be dropped off at a gig by your mom...:p)

....Whew!

Okay well that makes up for the fact that he wasnt a wild partier...he was a sweaty road dog before he was even 14. Thats cool. He paid his dues from a young age!

Thanks

I was raised in a suburb of Flint, MI - the "other" motor city. We traveled in a few of the same circles and I knew him. He was as strange then as he is now......he just didn't have as wide an audience for his non-musical platform he has now. He's also never been anything on video or audio what he is live. Guy is a killer on stage.

I also have a strong inkling that his wife tells him to stfu if he gets on his alpha male crap at home

I've been a big Nugent fan since the first Amboy Dukes album. He can flat out play lead guitar. Puts on a great concert too. Used to anyway. Take ear plugs with you if you ever go see him. I didn't back in the day, but I would now.

Too bad you can't separate his politics from his music 3M. I don't have any problem doing that with music. Actors, yes, but musicans, nope.

Thanks

I didn't really say I didn't still like listening to his music...I just don't like listening to him

Well, Nugent's been around for a long time, so other than occasionally hearing a song on the radio...it's not like I'm rushing out to buy Cd's or anything...I think the last time I saw him in concert was probably 1977...which is also the last time he had a hit...:rolleyes:

Personally I think Nugent is great. Not just his music, but from an entertainment point of view, he's just a great character. Agree or disagree with what he says I like listening to him. He holds nothing back. I love that, 'If you don't like what I have to say, tuff shit" attitude.

And he's one of the few in the music biz that SAYS what he believes. Most of them disguise their viewpoints as music so they can make people pay to hear their viewpoints LOL

Among all the MV, I love the "Green glass and high tides". The first time I knew this tune.
