sparquelito Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Man. I stumbled upon this ancient bit of video of Ted Nugent on David Letterman's show, back in the day. I apologize for the video quality, but the sound is a-okay. Ted plays two different songs, and his guitar technique is crisp, visceral, and almost Billy Gibbons-like at times. So good. Who knew?

brad1 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I did. I have many of his albums. I've seen him concert several times. The first was in 1977. It was my first concert. I was blown away. He can play incredibly fast. He can play slow, wonderfully melodic stuff too. One of my very favorite tone masters. 👍🏼😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 And I forgot to mention that he does it all on an electric hollow body 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01GT eibach Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I did I did too. Stick to Ted's early stuff, especially the songs with Derek St Holmes singing lead (excellent hard rock; the last such album w/ Derek was 'Weekend Warriors') -- after that, Ted lost me. That early era was when he played a Gibson Birdland through Fender amps. Some highlights worth a second look: - Stay with Derek-sung tracks as a general rule - The three tracks off 'Free For All' sung by Meat Loaf - Cover version of Beatles 'I Want To Tell You' - 'Need You Bad' - 'Snakeskin Cowboys' - 'Dog Eat Dog' - 'Stormtrooping' (there are a bunch others too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I am so glad you posted that. Coming home from work to sit back and watch that was entertaining. I was totally into it. The interaction between Letterman and Nugent was amazingly lose and matter of fact. Got a little tense in the second half, but was really entertaining. I didn't mind it getting political. It was informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
