If it's too loud, you're ...

... 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:

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 ...

The only music that involved Ted Nugent that I can bear is Damn Yankees.

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...):
