I was 5 years to young to go see Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes play at Riverside High school in Windsor Ont. Remember when he used to guest host at WWWW 106.7 out of Detroit for his fiance who was a DJ so she could do the things necessary for thier wedding.
I'd agree that he's not "the best guitarist ever".
Different eras and different types of music but Jimmy Hendricks comes to mind, along with Chet Adkins. Have you heard Chet Adkins' classical guitar playing?
Nugent's politics are a different matter, while I agree with him mostly, his "endorsement of Romney" means as much to me as anybody elses, which is to say, none at all.
Speaking of different eras, Neil Sedaka still has that voice and is about to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary.
Speaking to that era and good singers,i had the pleasure of seeing Burton Cummings and the Guess Who 3 times at the St.Clair College outdoor amphiteater in Windsor,what a voice.
I'm pretty sure that even Ted (and every other professional guitarist) would argue with you about that.
Hendrix was a far more gifted electric guitarist. His equal has never been seen.
I like Ted, but I don’t trust Romney. You measure a man by his actions, and not by his words.
Might as well reelect Clinton. Probably still slightly better than Zero.
That's good. Another one I saw was
"Romney -- it's time to settle"
The Guess Who were amazing. Randy Bachman is a huge guitarist. But I think Burton Cummings was better before he was Burton Cummings.
Not selling him short, btw — I think he’s an excellent player. Just not the greatest.
