I saw KISS and Def Leppard in Scranton PA this summer and Paul said "Scranton" so many times it started to feel like a bad episode of The Office. My wife and I decided to take a drink every time he said it, but had to quit because our livers began to protest and brain damage was becoming a real danger, as was bankruptcy due to the $25 cans of beer. It was an awesome show

[@JustinHuman1269]

***** woah, no way! I used a Groupon! Seriously, I see a lot of shows each year, both new and old bands, and many genres. The classics usually put on the best shows, so don't knock it too hard. Def Leppard was freaking amazing by the way.

I'm not the biggest KISS fan - they do have some decent songs, but c'mon Henry: you're really gonna bag on 'Detroit Rock City' ?

Yes, but you don't know who the first singer was... or Henry's adoration of Black Flag and how he got the gig. Rather listen to Rollins in any form anytime than two original moneygrubbing members with crap facelifts trying to get a football team off the ground. Gross.

exactly! I only saw Kiss once (2008 Paris, Alive 35 tour), I felt that way the entire show. When Paul grabbed the wire to fly to the platform closer to the back row seats during Love Gun, I felt like he was looking right at me. Maybe he did for a brief moment hahah :D

I'd sure love to see Henry and Ted debating together! The one thing they have in common (besides being rockers) is they're both anti drug/alcohol and very outspoken and intense and quick witted, though Henry is way more progressive on social issues and just seems more enlightened. Don't agree with any of Nugent's politics and in recent years he's gone WAY overboard on a few things he's said, but I can't deny he's intelligent in his own way and definitely fascinating.

+BubbaZen10 Near the beginning, Rollins himself praises Nugent's music, playing and performance - that's where Rolls hooked me in this clip. Because I also loved that kick-ass, flashy-fast, noodle-spinnin', motor-mouthin' schtick that made Gonzo's name way back in the 70s. But the purile gunk he now vomits outside his music act totally crosses the line between "entertainment" and "treason to the human race". Way to destroy a rock 'n roll legacy, Nuge.

[@somewhatsomething4882]

Are you saying that Alice in chains had guitarists off stage playing into the band's live mix..? That does make sense: Cantrell used to double track rhythms, then add the solo track, and umpteen overdubbed sounds: a totality of riffs and tones that was impossible to reproduce live anything close to the album with only one guitarist. And live his solos sound grating without the basic rhythm track at least.

I saw Ted Nugent at his peak in 1978, as one of the Headliners for the Texxas Jam in front of 80,000 in the Cotton Bowl. The thing was , the Cotton Bowl was big enough to host Ted's ego. It was Magical!! I saw KISS in '77 and later on their Maskless Tour when "Lick It Up" was out.

[@crackrat6166]

I worked security at a club about 15 years ago and Rollins Band played there one night. Everyone was happy to see him and were fans to an extent. Henry was so reclusive and didn’t want to talk to anyone. It was as if he was afraid (granted all of us on security were over 6 foot tall and 200+ lbs). We all were trying to be cool with him and let him know we were fans and appreciated him playing at such a small club in our little town. He barely acknowledged it and his basic response was “sure, whatever” which was uttered about half a dozen times. About 3 hours before the show he marches out of his bus demanding a dozen PawerBars and that the club manager himself personally drive him to the nearest full service gym. He was barking orders at everyone like he owned the place. He didn’t like how the bar area was set up and the fact we had couches set up along the wall at the back of the dance floor. When the show started he did his usual shtick and then proceeded to freak out on me and my boy Eric because we were on opposite sides of the stage to prevent stage diving (local ordinances “prohibited” it). After the show we asked if he needed help with the load out and he said “don’t touch our fucking gear”. We all just walked away. A little while later a few Hip Hop heads from a club a few blocks away made there way down. We were all cool with each other and we all started talking about how each of our shows went. One dude bumped one of the bands Marshalls and Henry was like “you security guys gonna do something?”. One of the security guys with us said, “No! You played, got payed and now you and your gear are out of the club. Our job is done”. He stormed into his bus and cried about it. We could hear him yelling outside. Henry’s a d-bag bullshitter. I lost all respect for him after that night. I’ve seen Nugent twice and I’d go to see him again if given a chance. I wouldn’t piss on Henry if he was on fire.

Small-ass town. Will say, at least he's an interesting character. That's all I ask. That you're an interesting character. I can love or hate your fuggin' guts. As long as you're interesting. You're okay by me.

Some people find murder interesting. Maybe your standards are a little low?

[@molochsorcery4357]

Can't help but "Double Live Gonzo" is still one of my all time favorite live albums along with "Frampton Comes Alive" and "Kiss Alive". Yeah Ted often says shitty things like typical pundits Rush Limbaugh or that skank-bag Ann Coulter so I just tune the man out when he starts his ranting. Otherwise I've enjoyed his playing like many others. It's no different than when I've heard Bono run his mouth on politics that I couldn't care less about and yet I enjoy his performance as an artist. Some of us enjoy your music, but not your politics. While I have no issue with an artist or musician stating their political views aloud to the public, since they have every right to do so, it's my right to tune them out or TURN THEM OFF!

👏👏👏

[@thewanderingfaith]

Absolutely!

This is the first time I listened to a Henry Rollins open mic. He wants big distance between himself and Ted, but both tell loud opinions, but Henry is PC and not controversial. Big deal...Banal....Despite Henry's blaring confidence, his opinions are not facts.

[@frikinzero]

Nugent can out play Rollins any , ANY fuckin day.

[@kevinwayte]

+frikinzero Nugent vs. Black Flag ? You gotta be kidding me.

[@tonydow8035]

+Kevy Wevs - And how many shows did Black Flag sell out? How many platinum albums? Seriously ? Milli Vanilli is better known than Black Flag.

[@kevinwayte]

Tony Dow I thought the topic was *outplaying* , not financials or tour dates.

[@bizkliz]

+frikinzero no. no he can't. and henry would never sell out to those "damn yankees".

[@tonydow8035]

[@MachineGunManUFMS]

Black Sabbath's Dehumanizer T-shirt? Awesome. Great story, btw hahahahaha laughed a lot here

[@jimdillon7691]

Motor city soul go uncle Ted 👍 it’s great how Ted gets people so fired up

[@danrode104]

Rollins seems to be a nice guy. Has priorities straight.

[@ryancamp4592]

the Rollins haters who take the time to watch and comment on his videos are amusing.

[@kingboobs20]

It never fails to amuse me how much he pisses certain douchebags off with little to no effort.

[@BillDerBerg]

As if Black Phag had any merit.

[@indiemusichangouts]

Ryan Camp ridiculous. Hes a great, public speaker. There are tons of videos of him speaking in front an audience being typically smart (without being a douche about it) and hilarious. Just scroll the suggested videos below this one. Whats really sad is people that feel the need to comment negatively without any basis for it. How could you not notice all the videos of him talking in all kinds of forums and formats? Youre annoying. People like you make the internet suck. There are things in this world that deserve intelligent,informed criticism. Why not spend some time finding out what some of them are, and then comment on that? Make things better. Not worse

[@Mozart1220]

Whop does care for Nugent? It's gotta be a small sad crowd these days.

[@RoBuck-lm1ve]

[@TheStevo427563]

I have lots of Ted Nugent records. He's still great.

[@jadenvanhess2341]

I have like 1. Stranglehold, the one most people have 😂

[@Frankincensedjb123]

With Nugent and Kiss they're so big and there are so many people there's great energy, so the band could yell "cheese" into the microphone and people would go nuts. When you're playing smaller venues and you're not so popular, Henry, you just can't do that. So you don't do that, even though, obviously from this audio, you want to like hell.

[@highjinxwillie62]

Free for all and double live gonzo are great albums

[@MrClark-df9qn]

I guarantee that more people know who Ted Nugent is than who Henry Rollins is.Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

[@skinnyvegas5874]

Political correctness is so entertaining... :/

[@TheLockon00]

Hey, if you can't find a way to laugh without mocking someone for being black, gay, female, etc. then that's your issue.

[@BluesLicks101]

Don't be so PC Henry - Its true Ted Nugent is polarizing and sometimes flat out crude, but so are you... Ted has contributed some amazing rock 'n roll, a lot more than you have - and he plays one of the meanest R&R guitars ever - he helped craft the 70's sound... so grow a pair and enjoy the Ted show!
