Two things about Ted a lot of people don't know. He doesn't use effects on his guitar and he doesn't use drugs. He's pure energy.

[@duane8829]

No. He uses a delay and a phase and obviously a wah.

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Must hear the studio version of the song🤘

[@srj108]

Yep, definitely.

[@steveboyes2090]

Meh. Maybe. Maybe not. I get him and I like it

[@sonnymaupin9267]

He definaltely kicks ass live but in this one instance I have to agree. On the studio album the bass is LOUD and its needed to drive the song while Ted has a lot of quiet interludes. The Bass is so important to this song

[@benavich8]

Uncle Ted is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. I know a lot of folks don't care for him because of his politics...but you have musicians on both sides of the aisle with that. I'm a Michigan boy, saw these guys numerous times growing up. Probably the loudest, damn guitarists I've ever heard...his Fender amp stacks were the stuff of legends.

[@RevM]

Underrated only in the current time. In the mid-70's he was widely considered to be one of the top 10 ever to that point.

[@nathanherkowitz764]

The Motor City Madman!

[@GodsOnlyGospel]

no booze and no drugs his entire life 👍

[@brianwacker9111]

This was the classic band, with Derek St.Holmes singing lead and Ted prowling the stage like a wild animal. One of the best concerts I ever saw.

[@ShiverHinge]

It was indeed a crazy show. Saw him backing Alice Cooper. He was all over the stage, from on top of 15 foot high stacks to the other side of the stage in seconds. Still don't know HTF he did it. And Ted was singing for most of it.

[@chad9017]

A lot of forgotten music history being remembered and that is good

[@V7avalon]

the studio version of Stranglehold is one of the greatest hits of all time, even though the live video had a little change up during the guitar solo it was a great example of his showmanship. Journey To the Center Of The Mind From Ted Nugent in the Ambroy Dukes, late 60s. Snakeskin Cowboys and Stormtroop'in same album as Stranglehold. Cat Scratch Fever, Weekend Warriors, Wang Tang Sweet Poontang and Great White Buffalo 🔥🎸have fun with fire

[@samuelmontmore6457]

Double Live Gonzo was the one that I enjoy the most

[@NVprods]

One of the greatest Rock Songs ever. As powerful as that live version is, the Studio Version of this song from his first album "Ted Nugent" is amazing. Other great songs from that album include "Hey Baby" and the one that cut off in the video, "Just What The Doctor Ordered"

[@knight2night826]

Dude I don’t know how but you get the best videos compared to other reaction videos. You have found a way to get the best ones.

[@screwedagain1]

My first concert. Ted Nugent and Blackfoot at The Boston Garden. September 7th 1980. My ears rang for two days! Awesome show.

[@mikemitton6447]

Uncle Ted Rules! You need to listen to Baby Please Don't Go from Double Live Gonzo, or Wango Tango!

[@scotstevens5263]

Also goes by; Uncle Ted. His later band was called Damn Yankees with Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw. Played live at California Jam ll 1976.

[@lindaulloa4786]

I like the studio version better. Saw him for the Cat Scratch Fever tour. They don't call him the Motor City Madman for nothing!

[@erwinamesz7642]

I was twelve (in 1985) and saw the Double Live Gonzo record at the local library (in the Netherlands..........) and was immediatly sold. Bought it from them and was my all time record in my youth. Saw Uncle Ted several times in the Netherlands and as wacky he is, the same level of showmanship was seen during his concerts. I love that guy!!!

[@neilyamashita4348]

Love the motor city madman!❤❤🤘🤘

[@gilbertgiuliani.4452]

15:46 Always so loud it made your ears bleed figurativly of course always a good show . He was in the Amboy Dukes before the solo career

[@davehind3193]

They don't call Ted the Motor City Madman for nothing you should check out the studio version it's great on headphones. For a few years in a row Ted would have a concert New Years Eve at Cobo Hall in Detroit the annual whiplash bash i went to it every year.

[@swamihuman9395]

- Great live performance. - Studio version is "refined", and definitely worth the listen. More from the drums, too. - Ted "Motor City Madman" Nugent rocked hard in the 70's. LOTS of great songs. Everything on the eponymous first solo release is excellent (of which this song is from). - Enjoy :)

[@guidosarducci]

Totally agree! Why people continue to choose "live" over "studio" is beyond me. Especially if they've never heard the song before..........

[@swamihuman9395]

​@@guidosarducci - Live can be excellent, even "better" than studio - depending on one's opinion, of course; and, on the particular band. - Or, each is just "great" in its own way. - If one demands fidelity to the studio recording - which is usually the first version they heard, and connected with; and, typically is better engineered - then live will just not cut it. - BUT, if one values improvisation, and the live recording is well engineered, then live can be the winner. - Led Zeppelin can straddle the studio/live divide: Jimmy Page is an excellent producer / audio engineer (and responsible for the LZ "studio sound") - PLUS, he's a phenomenal improvisationalist (honed during his studio musician days, where he only read chord charts, then improvised on them).

[@guidosarducci]

I agree. However, if one chooses a live version arbitrarily, one rates that tune by what they have seen and heard. What if the live version stinks? One might never listen to it again. I still say one should first listen to the tune as the band recorded it; then if ya like it, check out the live versions. There are PLENTY of great live versions of songs, but how would one know that if one just 'picks' one at random...?@@swamihuman9395

[@chitownlee]

The Motor City Madman! I love his pursuit of keeping the Country free!

[@williamjones6031]

I've been "Ted-U-cated" 7 times. You must listen to the entire album "Double Live Gonzo" Derek St Holmes sang most of the songs on this album. The 70s had the BEST music EVER.🤩 When I was in the US Navy I would listen to this for the bass beat/rhythm when I had to run.

[@jimmayors2315]

I'm looking forward to the day you can react to a JoanJett song in the same way! lol

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

…..please check out the studio version…. You won’t regret it,so much better 🎸❤️🔥🙏🏻

[@PhilPastor]

They don't call him the Motor City Madman for nothing! Great reaction, L33. Sweaty Teddy is an incredible guitarist, and never used drugs. For some real early Nugent check out Journey To the Center Of The Mind from the Amboy Dukes. Also, the Great White Buffalo from his Double Live Gonzo album is a must listen.

[@sldrums]

ted started out in THE AMBOY DUKES,give a listen to JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF YOUR MIND, great guitar work.

[@curiousman1672]

He's been playing that Gibson Birdland for 50 years. Enjoy some Uncle Ted. Great song.

[@onthatdirtroad]

He would swing out on stage in Tarzan style. Later he would shoot archery....

Like Zappa, Nugent did not drink or do drugs.

[@AirDOGGe]

I am not a fan of today's Nugent, but back then in the 1970s the band was awesome. Later Ted took over vocals, got himself a Britney Spears head mic and now he can't shut up bragging about himself in all his songs. I love his music but I can't stand the man. Too full of himself.

[@Cashcrop54]

I cannot imagine what Ted would have been like if he gotten into drugs. Probably not good. He would have had no control.

[@Hare_deLune]

Terrible Ted, The Motor City Madman! I saw an interview with him (in the 70's), wherein he stated that he didn't drink or do drugs. However, he would work himself up into an emotional frenzy to the point that he said in the interview that at the end of his concerts, two guys would have to carry him off the stage. To be fair, you should also react to his other hit single: Cat Scratch Fever. Then, you're done with "Uncle Ted".

[@johncrocker-nh7ey]

Until they put uncle Ted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I have no respect for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they've left out too many gray rockers and let too many non-rockers into it it's not a place of rap they can have their own Hall of Fame no problems with that but because of politics you will say that this man doesn't belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I just don't get it anyhow check out Stormtrooper next

[@jamesleonard9703]

LEE, also do the studio version. It's much better. The motor city madman had some great music. But Ted was an A**HOLE. Have seen the Nuge about 4 times.

All forms of art, music, painting, photography, and pornography are based on community standards and governed by the Supreme Court. The other place is a cash register.
