Ted Nugent: "The 1st Time We Played This In 40 F'n Years"

@@JohnWilson-ys5tc Charlie Huhn was quite good too but yeah Derek is even better. Ted Nugent best playing was on the Weekend Warrors album other than that he’s a pretty ordinary rock guitarist - pentatonic blues scales etc

[@BoomerBends]

Man, this song just floods my spirit with memories of my youth. I was 8 years old when I first heard this. Awesome. Derrick's voice is so amazing.

[@stu3775]

Queen of the forest is a great tune. Under rated singer.

[@GTX1123]

Derek is probably THE MOST underrated rock vocalist of all time. He's not underrated to those of us who are fans but he just never got the recognition he so deserved. Even though in this performance they tuned down a half or a whole step to a lower key, Derek still has it.

[@DizzyBizzy88]

Tuning down 1/2 step here was almost certainly not to accommodate Derek, in that as of 2023, Derek's band still tunes to std. pitch for his solo artist live shows (where, of course, he does many Nugent songs that he originally sang). Ted's band started tuning down 1/2 step quite a while back (1995 or maybe earlier) when Ted unfortunately decided to be the primary lead singer. Will say I always loved Ted's primal screams...but not his singing!

[@thecarolinashreds196]

Damn right he is. His voice is unmistakable. The first 3 Ted solo albums would not have been the same without Derek’s vocals

[@SCTTYB08]

It’s defiantly special when Derek tours with Ted .! It’s like a must see bc you never know if he’ll be back . Unfortunate Ted dropped him so long ago .. he’s the glue . A hidden gem

[@trowerz]

YUP.. Derek has an unmistakable unique voice. Queen of the forest is one of my favorite Nugent tunes. Saw Derek solo a few times. One time he was supposed to open up for Trower but Ds bus was caught in the snow Just outside of Buffalo. He got to the Penny arcade at 1 o’clock in the morning, there was literally four people left in the club, it was a Sunday night, and a blizzard. He played his balls off! Great Dude!🤘🇺🇸💪

[@uploadboardo7316]

Artists didn’t stop getting better you stopped listening

[@Xardox17]

The bands you name are all very good bands. There is some good music out there, not to ever be found on FM Radio. Pretty much like it was when we were young: "The Oldies" so popular now was the FM crap none of us listened to. We were digging albums.

[@Stafford-d8u]

Lansing Michigan hell yes!

[@pedraw]

I saw Ted in Lansing at the civic center. Initially on the way there, because we were walking down the sidewalk, people were slowing and asking if we were going to he Nugent show. We then found out Ted had been in a crash on the way and the show had been cancelled. I must confess the "make-up" show was so fucking electrifying I remember it to this day. One of the best rock concerts ever and I can't explain why. He still had a bandage on his left cheek and it was probably the first time I ever saw him play a Les Paul. I'm getting "goose bumps" right now...........

[@Fraevo10]

bluesmokerH1 Not as much as Cliff Davies. Not even close.

[@Narpets2112]

I wouldn't say that; the original band had great chemistry musically and all four played an equally important part. Ted didn't realize that and they all left. He hasn't been as good since.

[@ultrasuede7757]

I think so. In my opinion, Nugent's music took a major dive southbound after Derek left the band. Charlie Huhn was a good singer and even sounded like Derek, but the songs on "Weekend Warriors", "State of Shock", and "Scream Dream" weren't that good, plus the production on those albums was terrible. Made me wonder if Derek wrote most of the tunes for the albums he was a part of. I know for sure that his voice was greatly missed.

[@guitarplayer2846]

Ted was the key to this band. He recorded some great music with and without Derek. have collaborated together several times live and in the studio since his departure. Meatloaf sang on Ted's second album (Free For All). It was Nugent's first to go platinum.

[@craigwallace1862]

Guitar Player that's not taking any chances on his part,shows how good his wingman really was,be like sayin,"we got ta replace im somehow,oh,call Harry Neilson" old timers joke,I don't care who you try and replace,it's hard to find people like you and me both sides of the talent and love V.S. ego and pride humble but brutal music needs it all,put to sound,it seems lost in technology based entertainment

[@coltsrule5150]

He STILL refused to go fight for his country. He ADMITS to not cleaning himself for a month in order to look crazy. Whether he actually shat and pissed himself in that time is irrelevant. He refused to fight for this country and now wants to pretend like he's some American patriot. If he was such a patriot, he would have went and risked his life for this country and it's cause, instead of sitting at home playing a guitar. "So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break!" And he admits to shitting and pissing himself in this interview. "Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up."
