... best advised to protect your ears from the drums ...

It's kind of touching to see that with Uncle Ted though: a drum screen. ;D
-
Yes strange to see because I don't think the drums are that much responsible for his hearing problems.
-
I guess they have considerably reduced stage volume. I once read that if it wasn't for in-ear-monitoring, most rock artists in their 70ies now wouldn't be able to perform live anymore.
-
Actually, Nugent has written worse songs than this new ditty. For all his idiocy, he does have a real rock'n'roll feel. He's effortlessly fluid and has a great sense of rhythm guitar timing. That puts him into a league with Alvin Lee IMHO. He does know his Chuck Berry too, here at 4:13 ;D ...

I think those screens are to prevent the bleed from the guitar amp(s)?
It looks like a live recording that was mixed and (heavily) doctored in the studio. If you have guitar amps bleeding all over the other mics you can't do any proper overdubs.
-
Could be. Nugent has a penchant for that, recording live and then smoothing it over, not to cheat (he's an excellent performer), but to catch a certain vibe he can't find in the studio, his Intensities In 10 Cities was wholly based on that recording concept:

I'll just leave this here...........

Too bad I can't make it actually land on Ted.

I still have the relevant badge, and the tour shirt... :mrgreen:

Of the 101st Airborne? I didn't know you were that old, but that was a nice comprehensive tour in '44/'45 ... Normandy, Ardennes, Rhine River, Bavaria, Austria ...

Why start now?! :-*

The only music that involved Ted Nugent that I can bear is Damn Yankees.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHFL4LdYhog
-
They were an excellent band. Ted fitted right in and served the group.
Jack Blades (the Night Ranger front man/bassist and chief songwriter AWOL with the Yankees), who can do no wrong in my eyes, shares many of Uncle Ted's political convictions, but isn't as inane about it.
-
I never personally paid much attention to them, but Damn Yankees had quite a far-reaching and solid reputation. Now Ted Nugent says hunting is more important to him than that band--a way of thinking I simply cannot relate to at all.
-
Damn Yankees was an ok band but I never really got hooked by them. I like the three first Ted Nugent albums the best (like I guess most people). Like this for example (speaking of the topic headline...):

"And when the news hit the wire, Greenpeace activists were crying in their hankies
They hadn't heard anything so awful since the first record by Damn Yankees"

:mrgreen:
-
The one thing you can say against the Damn Yankees is that it was all a bit calculated. But then which supergroup - and an AOR supergroup they were - isn't?

Agreed. I thought he'd lost his mind as far back as Wango Tango.

:mrgreen: Priceless!
Also better than anything Ted's done without Derek St. Holmes.

Did anyone spot that quote rhymed...? :mrgreen:

Well, isn't that mandatory when putting down fellow musos with style?

All men, all men are liars
Their words aint worth no more than worn out tires.
Hey Girls, bring rusty pliers to pull this tooth
All men are liars and that's the truth.
Do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit that was ghastly.
He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down.
Well I'm here to tell ya that Dick's a clown
Though he was just a boy when he made that vow.
I'd bet it all that he knows by now.
We're getting good here again. Nick Lowe vids in Nugent threads, pretty good. ;D
His BCR spoof was wonderful too, he got all the ingredients right, that repeating drum roll ... ;D :mrgreen: ;D :mrgreen:
