Ted Nugent shows how a guitar works 1992

[@briankirk8240]

if uncle ted had been my science teacher i might have stayed in school.

[@marcjohnson2835]

@Ron H. actually the Bible proves science...

[@marcjohnson2835]

@Ron H. you haven't read the Bible much obviously. Or if you have you missed alot. The Bible told us the earth was round long before a telescope was even thought of. The Bible says that God "hung the earth on nothing" telling us it stands free in space supported by nothing in particular. The mosaic law he gave the Israelites instructed them to cover their waste and keep it out of their camp. Long before man knew about bacteria or diseases transmitted by human waste. He told them which animals were unclean or not fit for eating. One if which was the bat. Corina virus came from eating bats. The list goes on and on. To long for this thread. Read the Bible again

[@marcjohnson2835]

@Ron H. give it a try. It's a book. Books are worth reading. Even superstition. Pretend it's a story book if you want. At the very least it is entertaining. It has stories about love. Life and death. War. Heroes and great battles. Sex . Lies. Deceit. Court cases and executions. Military strategy. You name it. It's in the Bible. Probably better than anything you'll find on Netflix.

[@paulshamblin6260]

Uncle Ted's biology class dissecting wild game would be good. Sex ed? I met him. He was really cool with me and my friend. There was a lot of people there. He came to a sporting goods store while in town for a concert. Signed my album. Took pics.

[@drc97086]

People seem to make such a fuss over Ted and his politics. They seem to miss his great asset which allows him to accomplish all of hubris. That would be his personality. Although, his personality is why people listen to him, even when he is driving 'them' crazy. I have always thought Ted is such a wonderful entertainer and guitarist.

[@GrantH]

Dale C And honestly, if it weren't for his wacky personality, he probably wouldn't be where he is today. Is he a fantastic guitar player? Of course. But if it weren't for his crazy antics that came along with it, he wouldn't be as notorious as he is now, not even close. He's a pure showman, and one of the very best at doing what he does.

[@dangraphic]

+GrantH Thumbs Up

[@GrantH]

Ninno Angelo Wow, ok...apparently you suck at reading comprehension. I was giving Ted a compliment (notice how I finished it off with "He's a pure showman, and one of the very best at doing what he does.") Quit jumping to conclusions, you idiot. I like Ted, and I dig his music. I'm just commentating on the fact that his larger-than-life personality has added to his myth and his legend. That's all.

Speaker cut in half is still good for Country and Western. HaHa . That's too funny.

[@kristianjl]

Yeah, that was Ted's line. He's a pretty clever guy. Lots of lines were borderline dirty - even though they weren't technically dirty they sounded dirty - and being a kids show we cut a few of them.

[@Melissa0774]

All this time I never knew that guitarist got that screaming effect by standing close to the amp. I thought they did it by sliding their fingers on the strings. I learned something today.

[@cynthiabroyles4890]

Ted, you were absolutely hilarious here as always. I'm still rockin to the loudest music ever. Don't think I'd ever stand in front of your amplifier stack again tho. Did in Knoxville TN in late 70's? Before the show, I looked up at them towering overhead and my teenage mind went hmmmm, this is gonna be good. Lmao. My ears rang for 3 days I swear! Damn fine rock and roll, thank you my friend.

[@tacoconch7678]

I don't see why pre-1995 PRS guitars are sought after. They actually sound like shit from what I've heard. PRS actually make much better sounding guitars today.

[@rmartin7558]

A lot of players got sucked in to the Floyd Rose hysteria of the '80's into the early nineties by switching to Kramers and Jacksons, or in Ted's case the PRS. As far as I'm concerned it may well have been POS, because that period is a particularly bleak one in the history of rock guitar playing.

[@mikelundquist4596]

​@@tacoconch7678 I've had 3 PRS guitars. One was an '85 and one was an '86. The other was much later, a 2008 I think. All were fantastic. Maybe they're not for everyone, but they were extremely versatile. Fun to play as well.

Very cool story Kristian thanks for laying it out for us, are you still in TV/PBS? Sad about Frank Zappa or anyone with cancer but I think you lucked out with Ted Nugent aka; The Nuge, Uncle Ted, The Motor City Madman, The Wackmaster, The Detroit Madman, Terrible Ted, did I miss any? These days Ted is a little more outspoken, opinionated, and attracts attention with his political views and being a strong activist for gun ownership! I believe Uncle Ted is a board member of the NRA I might add, but what do I know about that stuff, I’m Canadian after All ! Ted seems to have a strong work ethic, abstains from drugs and alcohol and always entertaining as seen in your well done educational PBS program 👍

[@obscurebandfan]

I don't hate Ted for his political views, I respect them. I just wish he'd give them a rest every now and then. I think the same of Bruce Springsteen who's at literally the opposite end of the spectrum and who I have more in common with politically. I wish rockers would shut and sing.

'The Nuge' morphs into Jim Carrey...

[@Adipsia1]

I saw Ted on his first tour of the UK at the Birmingham Odeon... my ears didn't come out of hiding for around a week. 'Sounds' or 'NME' ran a story the week after that said that the feedback frequency from 'Hibernation' shattered the glass in the picture-frames on the walls in the theatre. At times I seriously wonder about his political views, but at others I take my hat off to him... in the same article he was asked what would happen if his tour bus got stranded during a British snowstorm during his head northwards towards Sheffield; his answer was that he'd jump out, kill a sheep, tear it apart and sleep in its woolly coat. I believe him now as I believed him then.

[@yellingelk]

Damn right... I just noticed that myself. In fact... I reckon Ted could be Jim Carrey's older brother and they were somehow split up at birth.

If you don't "dig" Nugent's music then you are ignorant of the fact that Ted uses the same blues chords and progressions that drive AC\DC's music. Thank you for confirmation of your ignorance on a public forum.

[@ACDCBoy62]

I'll admit that I've never given Nugent's music much consideration. AC/DC got me into hard rock many years ago and then I got way into metal before I exhaustively explored the essential material from hard rock. I guess since I'll never not like AC/DC, what Nugent material do you recommend?

[@miketheburns]

***** naw, man - even though ACDC, Skynyrd, Led Zepp an hoardes of others are all influenced by basic blues riffs and share a similar lineage and sound, anyone can like whoever they want! I like Skynyrd but not Molly Hatchett. I like Pink Floyd, but not David Gilmoure's solo records. To each his own. It has nothing to do with ignorance. Although we tend to like what we know, so if I grew up with Clapton and Hendrix but didn't really listen to Doobie Brothers, then it might take me a while to get into the Doobies (as I have). Nostalgia plays a big role in musical taste, in my opinion. In any event, Dr. Nugent plays like an animal and gives an unbelievable live performance - even in his old age. Peace.
