TED NUGENT Comments On 'Motor City Mayhem' CD, DVD, And Blu-Ray - May 18, 2009
Sparks seriously fly on "Motor City Mayhem", the new live DVD and Blu-ray release from TED NUGENT, out June 30 via Eagle Rock Entertainment. Shot July 4, 2008 in front of a house packed with a wildly enthusiastic crowd of thousands at the outdoor DTE Energy Music Theatre in the Motor City Madman's hometown of Detroit, the disc documents the celebration of Nugent's 6000th live performance, including guest appearances and a set list of nearly two dozen Nugent favorites honoring his blues and soul roots. Of course, Ted is already looking ahead to his 7000th show: "I'm having a camouflage electronic walker built now."

The multi-platinum guitar icon, author, outspoken activist, television personality and avid outdoorsman celebrated this landmark event in true ultra Nuge style. Flanked by troops from the Selfridge Air National Guard, Ted kicked off the celebration with his electrifying version of "The Star Spangled Banner". Meanwhile, the Nuge crew wheeled out a seven-foot-tall red, white and blue cake, from which WRIF FM Rock Girl Cristy Lee emerged to surprise the rocker.

Says Ted: "The whole night was a barrage of wonderful, powerfully stimulating outrages. From the gorgeous girl coming out of the cake, to the presence of my family and friends, being surrounded by U.S. military heroes during the national anthem, to the power of my band, the glow of the incredible audience, the spectacular performances by Derek St. Holmes, amazing Mitch Ryder drummer Johnny Bee, my original guitar teacher Joe Podorsek on 'Honky Tonk', to the earth moving as everyone sang every word to my BloodBrother song 'Fred Bear'. It was non-stop mind-dazzling intensity."

One of the highlights of the night came when Ted reunited with childhood guitar teach Joe Podorsek for a heartfelt rendition of "Honky Tonk", for which the two received a standing ovation. "Joe taught me so much way back when, and keeping in touch with him over the years has been very empowering," Ted explains. "'Honky Tonk' never sounded so cool." Ted's first public performance — when he wasn't quite 10 years old — was with Podorsek and the Capitol School of Music Revue in 1958 at the Polish Arts Festival at the Michigan State Fairgrounds.

Commenting on his performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" with troops from the Selfridge Air National Guard standing around him, Ted called the experience "very emotional and very inspiring. I have been blessed to hang with these hero warriors a lot and they always move me."

Next up for The Nuge: he'll debut his new TV series "Runnin' Wild…From Ted Nugent" this August on CMT. The modern-day Davy Crockett will teach ordinary people how to survive in the wild, and then evade the master… Nugent himself. He promises viewers "more over the top fun and outrage celebrating and promoting all the great things I believe in and live. We define hands-on conservation and responsible conscientious environmentalism while entertaining the hell out of the viewer…intense."

Ted shows no signs of slowing down in any aspect of his life. "I'm not even warmed up yet!" he says. "My new songs drive me wild, the hunting gets better every year and now my children and grandchildren can increase the overall joy by joining the old man! Life is indeed rather grand."

With all the albums Ted has recorded, you could barely scarp together a single cd of listenable tracks.

Ted is the best that the right wing has to offer in any artform. And that says it all, don't it ?

Proof of incompetence: "Nugent is an excelin musician who knows how to pley blues and he ain't no frend of the terrerists."

This leads me to the question, are there any Nugent fans who actually graduated from a reputable college or even high school?

Moreover, the Republicans have no worries about continuing membership growth if the bulk of Americans are as intelligent as Morgagne.

Two good songs on his first solo album (you know which ones), both sung by the other dude, and the rest of his recorded output blows. Amboy Dukes were decent, but no MC5 ,that's for sure.

High Times interview Ted Nugent, October, 1977

High Times:
How did you get out of the draft?

Nugent:
Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. 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! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common curs, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the shit out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’, motherfuckin’ rock and roll musician.
I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered shit, 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. Shit, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.
See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game, and I’m gonna destroy ‘em. Now my whole body is crusted in shit and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin’ awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded mother fucker. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn’t know and I’m vacuuming that shit right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human shit. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was – ‘cause I was really into bein’ clean and on the ball – I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.
So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You fuckin’ swine you!” Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my shit was just like ooze, man, so I shit in the cup and put it on the counter. I had shit on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.
They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherfuckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?
