[@Owen741.]

He was a prodigy playing even as a kid

[@nitrojunkie22]

All the jokes the "board" or whatever for the Rock and Roll HOF don't know what good music is. The ONLY reason Ted hasn't been inducted is because of his politics. You can't tell me that that hippie burnout Neil Young made better music than Uncle Ted.

He's the tone God for a reason. Specifically when that byrdlan starts sounding off with all its divinity.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Uncle Ted's really such an amazing, yet hopelessly overlooked, guitarist. Nuge plays his guitar the same way he talks politics, 100% pure Ted. Too much for the weak at heart... While I don't agree with everything Ted Nugent says, I wholeheartedly salute his enthusiasm and his 1st Amendment Right to express his beliefs. It's also ironic that the very people who moan and groan about everyone accepting other's differences are so quick to NOT share that acceptance of ideas when it comes to Ted Nugent's beliefs. Keep rockin', Mr Nugent, keep rockin'!!!

[@brianjob3018]

Hardcore right-winger here in the SF Bay Area who votes for no more than approx. 2.5-10% (depends on what's on the ballot that cycle) of what the DemonRats want in November. Now, where do you and "Ted Talk" differ politically?

[@smelltheglove2038]

It’s because those people don’t really hold the principles the claim. Their actions prove them to be authoritarians or even sociopaths. It’s quite sad really.

[@jellyfish1333]

Too bad he’s a traitor. God bless USA

[@Strings-jg2to]

See that's the thing with him. He's so political that he makes his guitar playing became irrelevant. No one ever just talks about his playing. I suppose his guitar playing really hasn't improved anyway. Kinda burning out slowly.

$100,000 guitar lesson! I had "Double Live Gonzo" super glued to my turn table in the later '70's!

[@cgab12]

Ted’s solo in “Storm Trooper” from Double Live Gonzo is one of the best in rock history.

[@Spikefade]

I've never heard any guitarist sound that ferocious.

[@cgab12]

He’s like a great NFL running back, he only gets stronger as the show goes on.

I grew up listening to that album when it came out. To this day my heart rate doubles when I hear songs from that album.

"Tone is in the hands" lol

[@johndvorak5375]

Ted just proved that you don't need a Gibson to sound awesome. Just skill and an epiphone.

I see more impromptu lessons with Ted, sharing his gift with regular folks. Refreshing. Too bad he is shunned by so many in the music establishment. So much for free thought and expression.

[@joshmartin1938]

No doubt.....

[@stevebelcher1527]

The reason he is shunned is because he speaks for the people and if they realize it or not they should be thankful that he is in the forefront telling it like it is

Wow.........saw Ted back in '76 in Nashville and I'm just now getting most of my hearing back.

[@lawrencecarver4233]

I got to see Ted twice . Once in Denver Colorado at McNickles Auditorium. 1978. I believe it was. Ted was standing up on his Marshall speaker amps. They were big stacks. When he played this song he did a summersolt off the speaker stack an landed on his feet on stage an didn't miss a lick. In his leopard Tarzan outfit. Blew my eye drums out . I'm still rocking to that moment. Then years later i saw him with the Damn Yankees at the Hult Center in Eugene Oregon. They opened for Bad Company. It was one of my favorite top 10 concert memories. Keep on Rocking Ted.

[@mi.dogman4438]

Growing up in Detroit in the 70’s. We kinda already knew of the legend! Was in my first band in 84. And every band since had at least 1 Nugent song in our set list. I’m pretty sure it was a requirement being in a club band in Mi. Thank you Uncle Ted for all the great tunes!

[@MrBKuv]

When I was a kid I thought Uncle Ted was an idiot until I actually listened to what he said. Now I think he's about the smartest famous person alive.
