Ted Nugent - Stranglehold (Official Audio)

[@phxdodgerfan1]

I was 12 when I first heard this. I'm now 58. I grew up in the 70's where some of the greatest music of all time was made.

[@lisahill6726]

I used to think you were old. I'm 44 now. Old yesterday is young today. Time changes everything.

58 is simply a number. I don't look or feel 58! If you saw me in person you wouldn't believe I'm 58. I look more like 40. Time hasn't changed me a bit. Who cares about age? 60s and 70s music is where it's at!!

I remember one time when I was driving into Pittsburgh from the south hills and this song came on 102.5 WDVE. Right when I came out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel with the iconic view of the Pittsburgh skyline was where the guitar solo peaked. It was probably the best road moment I have ever had in my life, as both the view and the song married perfectly. I literally thought I was going to have to pull over somewhere out of sheer delirium and excitement. A good song will do that to you in in the right moment and surroundings.

Took pics with us, autographs. Can’t say enough good things about him. 99% of the other acts I covered were complete assholes.

Ted and Kiss in 87 makes me an old rocker. Saw Ted at the Michigan Palace battle of the band's early 70's. Always up against the band Cactus. Ted wore a leather loin cloth and had a bow hunter quiver on his back. Saw Kiss first time Detroit about 1974ish, played with another unknown act by the name of Aerosmith, both opening acts for headliner White Witch, the religious response to Black Sabbath. Tickets were 99 cents, because it was sponsored by 99fm WABX. Michigan Palace did not fill the room that night. First time Kiss in Detroit, first time Aerosmith. Jeez, where did white Witch go. Answer, nowhere. Rocknroll never forgets. Thanks for that line Bob Seger, another D treasure.

"Stranglehold" is a guitar-driven track, over eight minutes long, and set the stage for Nugent's career. The guitar solo was recorded in a single take. “I used delays to create this really wild guitar duet with Ted," said producer Tom Werman. "It was like two guys were playing. I sent it off to Ted for his approval. He called me up and said, ‘I love what you did with Stranglehold, but don’t ever do that again without asking me.’”
