TED NUGENT

That's pretty much all the Ted I feel that I need (or can handle). When I think about Ted what usually comes to mind is the Zappa album "Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar".

I know what you were saying here, but on a different note, it would be cool to hear in an instrumental album by Ted.

Definitely! I think you can hear elements of his style in tracks like Hibernation that he pretty much abandoned later on in favor of his "shtick". There's no denying his guitar playing talent, it's only his taste that frequently comes into question.

Finally got a copy of his "Great Gonzos!: The Best of." Pretty good stuff. Can't believe it took me soooooo long to get a Nugent album.

Love the music, hate the politics. Fav album: Cat scratch
Least fav: Free for all

Free For All is one of favorites, guess everyone likes something different.

Free for All is a great album !!!, Worst Ted Nugent album has to be either " Intensities in Ten Cities" or " Penetrator"

Shhh...don't tell anyone but I happen to like "Penetrator". Although it sounds like Ted Nugent playing on a Foreigner album.

He's ok, I was a big fan of his when I was a kid though, I don't know why I don't like him now though

That's just it, it seemed to lack gonads. Not what people expect from the Nuge.

There are some good tracks on this album, but keyboards that dominate songs like the singal "Tied Up in Love" just are so un-Nugent like. Plus Brian Howe didnot fit in as Ted Nugent's vocalist, not a bad singer by any stretch but he is no Derek St. Holmes or Charlie Huhn.

Ted Nugent sent VP hopeful Sarah Palin his newest book on to fix a America you can check it out on link below:

This is what irritates me about the Nuge. I wish he would just "shut up and play his guitar"

You're not 12 anymore? That was about the time I was listening to Nuge.

Is it true that in 2009 Nugent will begin working on what will be his final album so he can focus on politics after its release? I heard Derek St. Holmes was gonna be on board too.

So I've read. I think he wants to run for Governor in 2010.

Cat Scratch Fever is classic I love that song

That'd be interesting. To bad it's not here in Colorado, he'd get my vote.

There's an interview with the Nuge about running for office at:http://fearless.msn.com

Eagle Rock Entertainment will reissue Ted Nugent's catalogue including the albums Nugent, Penetrator, Little Miss Dangerous, If You Can’t Lick ‘Em…Lick ‘Em, Spirit of the Wild, and Full Bluntal Nugity on February 3rd .

Beginning the New Year with such a lavish catalogue is not out of the ordinary for the Motor City Madman: 35 million albums sold and 6000 shows later, Nugent is still showing no signs of slowing down. He’s kept busy throughout 2008, with the release of his Ted, White, and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto book, Eagle Rock’s release of Sweden Rocks (May/June 2008), a livewire riot captured on CD/DVD from the Sweden Rocks Festival in 2006, and of course, the release of his latest studio album Love Grenade (Eagle) in September of 2007.

Spirit of the Wild and Full Bluntal Nugity have not been re-issued yet. Full Bluntal is not even that old yet.

The Nuge rules! I saw him open for KISS a few years back and he blew them off the stage!

The man is a FANATIC!

Love his stuff, mostly early stuff like the debut and the few afterward. I think Cat Scratch Fever is one of the most overplayed sing-along songs in his discography.

Got to shake his hand and get a photo with him, he's easily over 6 feet tall.
