I'm just in love with the brunette Go-Go girl up front. Was there music playing, as well? There must have been. She was dancing. ...oh,........yeeeeeeeh........ ;-)
He has strings on the guitar. They can be seen at 1:34. I know because this library computer stops the video every 20 seconds. I remember seeing a poster for an Amboy Dukes show, on a telephone pole, in Georgia in 1971. I've wished I had gone to the concert ever since, even though this song is not too fantastic.
The drummer keeps up with Ted about as well as Mitch Mitchell keeps up with Jimi Hendrix, but otherwise Ted was in a league of his own in this group-- "a big fish in a small pond"
@notfragile33 Yes, no argument here. Greg Arama was in Ursa Major with Dick Wagner (The Frost?) after the Amboy Dukes, and they had one great album that was loaded with great bass lines.
@jchapman1975 Don't forget Don Honaker (Bob Seger System), Mel Schacher (The Mysterians, Grand Funk Railroad), Gordy Garris (The Frost)--Michigan was the bass player capital of the world
@Mookytc According to an interview he gave in High Times magazine back in the late 70s, Ted crapped in his pants for a week to convince the draft board he was nuts. NOW he says the interview was a joke but the question remains, if one is of enlistment age and supports a particular war, does one not have an obligation to go fight?
Ted is a chicken hawk just like Gene Simmons, another right wing loudmouth who could have fought in 'Nam (or in Israel, where he was born) but chose not to go.
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll. Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll
I only know the amboy dukes from the nuggests Lp with "Baby Please don't go"..really surprised by this song its great..Buffalo Springfield had that great song "for what its worth" yet when i listened to their other stuff i wasn't as impressed (maybe need to apply the "play it more principal!")..the amboys are really cool here and you can see why Ted Nugent went on to bigger things..
I was a Ted fan with the typical Cat Scratch Fever stuff.. When I heard this song on the Dr. Slingshot collection, that was it. I was hooked. Ted belongs in the same room with Page, Beck, Clapton, Hendrix.. He brought just as much to the party.
@thisismike2 he wouldn't make a pimple on jimmy pages ass.he's a pompous over confidant hiprocite.the first dukes stuff says TN but whose doing the great vocals?i bet 99% don't know.
@nomiclas i can tell u. john drake has the deep voice which steve farmer sings along to in a high octave. meanwhile the piano man andy solomon is singing in the backround to create a very soft (but still high pitched) vocal which harmonizes beautifully when the 3 of them get it down. btw in the video where they 'mime' to journey to the center of the mind, youlll notice ted lip syncing in the second verse. this doesnt make sense seeing as how he doesnt sing on any of the first 3 albums
@nomiclas oh hell yeah! i heard journey to the center of the mind on the radio once and became an instant fan. when they did those all request hours, i would call in and ask them to play amboy dukes songs, but they only had journey. so i ordered a copy of the album, and then i found their first album in a little music store. i took it one step further by writing steve farmer a letter and he wrote back!
@queencityavenue if it makes any difference TN has property in Irons about 30 miles from where i live and the locals consider him a real ass.do you have Marriage On the Rocks?it's got a couple scathing guitar riffs complete with feedback.
@HEARTHEANGELSVOICES , Since, at various times, Page, Beck, Clapton, and Hendrix spent time in the bathroom getting stoned out of their minds, I'd have to agree with you.
@thisismike2 I agree in that Ted's not mentioned as much as he should be. A local station here says that "Stranglehold" gets the most requests a day. More than a Led Zeppelin song?! I also saw Ted last year play in a dripping hot club here and everyone thought he sounded as good as the old days. As here and with "Journey To The Center of the Mind", the bass and guitar is wicked even though the lead vocals have that mid-60s sound. It's not like the Monkees, lol.
He absolutely was inthe hendrix,clpton land, but like alot of american guitarist, hadnt cranked it in those days yet, also, ted always seemed to use hi wattage fender stuff in those days, ever tried breakin up a twin?they are very loud, thats what we were looking for when we built em!
sew ted at the toledo sports arena for the first time in 77, with a band called bee bop deluxe, and a local group called the raisin band. and i got to tell you he kicked ass then and he still rocks now. politics aside, the nuge is a rock & roll legend, and a credit to the lower great lakes region.
The Duke's gee... my record collection seems to be missing this one. Oh heck the video on my computer beats that old sound of those 45rpm anyway. Am going to get the name of who posted this and subscribe there for sure then.
Loves the dresses the dancers are wearing! They were easy to make. Back then, you could make a miniskirt or even a mini dress with a remnant of a bolt of fabric for under $2.
Different style, boys. Ted and Jimmy were contemporaries. Both were great, Ted still is. Had Hendrix had anywhere near the resistance to drug use that Nugent has displayed, maybe we could still bee enjoying his live p[erformances, too.
@BigAlum -- Hendrix was murdered by the CIA. Ever notice how anyone who becomes a public figure that has the power to move people closer to a groovy oneness suddenly gets whacked?
I object to chickenhawk nugent wrapping himself in the flag and taking the hypocritical position of the right wingers.. After i got out of army I retuned to Ann Arbr in Jul69. I turned against the Vietnam War,, listened to John Sinclair's free concerts on Sundays, the MC5, and the UP. Ted wraps himself in the American flag and advocates the right wing crap you just railed against:."...think false pride and Government manulipulation ...."

Shut the fuck up you ole fuck. Theres nothing wrong with not wanting to go to war. Just ask GOD and half of all soilder that went to war, that are now dead rolling in their graves wishing they too, would of stayed out of Nam. You fucking people that think false pride and Government manulipulation is where its at.....then fucken go their. Free will is free choice without judgment. I cant wait to see you in the afterlife, so I can rip your soul apart. You Dick!
@fjcivdawg Loved the comment to BobLIskey.... about Nam. Did he even go to that war??? He only said that when he was discharged from the Army. If all the Boys that fought in WWII thought like that Bob asshole... America would be speaking Japanese or German. Bravo my friend!!!
Thanks for letting me know Bob. I didn't know Ted supported the wars for oil like Bush & Obama does. Our brave vets were killed & maimed in Vietnam & Korea for the same worthless pieces of excrement who shipped our factories to the chinese commies. Now Al Gore & the globalist bankers want to carbon tax us to death to finish us off economically.
You've got me thinking - not to take anything at all away from Jim McCarty, who (STILL) is an ace guitarist - what would have Cactus been like with TED in the band?!?
man whats with the negativity every one settle down and enjoy the music if you dont like the music leave and dont post ridiculous comments on the page you make yourself look like an immature child
comments on the music this is great never heard anything quite like it for the times lots of psychedelic sounds back then to bad the music today dosnt sound like this awell stuck in the past peace brothers and sisters and no more negativity its no good for you
I can bet the people who are making bad comments on this video and music were born in the 70's. They did not experience the changes happening in music in the 60's. I bet they also liked "what was his name, you know the guy who killed himself and everyone thought he was so much like John Lennon. You know the original grunge god....! Wake up kids! The sixties and seventies shaped the music. You cannot say the music of today, because most of it is crap.
@durbinjoseph Yeah, I'm only 15, and I hate all new music. I listen to The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, and of course... Ted Nugent. If I could go back in time, I'd beat the the shit out of Kurt Cobain before he had a chance to start his shitty band and ruin music.
@durbinjoseph this is phenomenal.!!!! and i agree with your comments about the born on date timeline. that era created all of the sounds that they use today. (except for the gangsta rap shit) bravo my friend!!!
@durbinjoseph dude, i cannot agree more with what you said. i should also mention that im only 15, and i figured out for myself that modern music is garbage. now i stick to music from the 60s 70s and 80s (with the Amboy Dukes and the Ramones being my 2 favorite bands).
@durbinjoseph got that right! I was born in 57 and 'rocked" early in life. The 60's and 70's were truly an amazing time in music history. Little or no technology available and no other style of music like it to use as a reference. 100% original and every song seemed to break new ground in some way by all the bands of that time. Imagine what we would be listening to if bands like this "underground" (LOL!) had never come along.
@durbinjoseph I agree 100% with you. With all the manufactured beats, these kids wouldn't know HOW to come up with something on their own. Just press a button, move a cursor, adjust a couple of fake knobs on a computer and let it do it for you.
@durbinjoseph I'm technically a baby boomer (1964) but i think there has been great music in every decade. Sometimes you have to hunt for it or takes time to develop. I certainly know what you mean as far as mass music culture goes and there I agree. There's still great music and it all builds on itself and on and from it's own crazy history i think. This video is practically a different world though and certainly one many don't personally remember. I didn't hear Amboy Dukes till mid to 70's
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The song is pretty dreadful and Ted had the John Kay starter kit going on there with the sunglasses and the suit. The lead break, though, was bad ass.
Nugent was definitely one of the coolest looking, and best guitarists of this time. Too bad his uber Alpha Male tendencies got the best of his initial rad-ness.
Uncle Ted should've stuck with this sound. Really he should stick with the music and leave the political bullshit alone but that's another story. lol; Who knows what music would've sounded like today if the Amboy Dukes stayed together?
HAHA!!!! My teacher was in the Amboy Dukes.. Steve Farmer. :) He plays Rhythm guitar and sings.. He got kicked out of the band for being a bad influence on their music style
Scuseme for being ignorant and you can all say why the fuck did you watch this you little piece of stinking crap, but I checked it out cause I wanted to know about the sound of these band.All I have to say is that it is disturbing, Nugent band was awsome and the darkest sound ever gotten but this I don't like, mainly cause of the dancers in the middle of the band why aren't they in the background or in another side of the room the music doesn't seems apealing to me with those girls in there.
i love the stooges and MC5 as much as the next guy, but i think the SRC and Amboy Dukes get very little respect and i think they are just as good in their own way.
All I can say Is I would be happy with one tenth of the hot babes that Uncle Ted has had in his life starting with some of those Go Go dancers and ps Ted is still great ,I played a festival in Germany last month and he was the headliner and he kicked BUTT,He is an ICON
Why didn't they splice the audio in from the album version to fix this dreadful audio quality? WHY UPLOADER WHY!?

I bet they also liked "what was his name, you know the guy who killed himself and everyone thought he was so much like John Lennon. You know the original grunge god....! Wake up kids! The sixties and seventies shaped the music. You cannot say the music of today, because most of it is crap.

@durbinjoseph Yeah, I'm only 15, and I hate all new music. I listen to The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, and of course... Ted Nugent. If I could go back in time, I'd beat the the shit out of Kurt Cobain before he had a chance to start his shitty band and ruin music.

@111loriann How silly of me. As long as you stick to just Sabbath, not the solo Ozzy who got weird on us in the 80s.

@durbinjoseph this is phenomenal.!!!! and i agree with your comments about the born on date timeline. that era created all of the sounds that they use today. (except for the gangsta rap shit) bravo my friend!!!

@durbinjoseph dude, i cannot agree more with what you said. i should also mention that im only 15, and i figured out for myself that modern music is garbage. now i stick to music from the 60s 70s and 80s (with the Amboy Dukes and the Ramones being my 2 favorite bands).

@durbinjoseph got that right! I was born in 57 and 'rocked" early in life. The 60's and 70's were truly an amazing time in music history. Little or no technology available and no other style of music like it to use as a reference. 100% original and every song seemed to break new ground in some way by all the bands of that time. Imagine what we would be listening to if bands like this "underground" (LOL!) had never come along.

@durbinjoseph I agree 100% with you. With all the manufactured beats, these kids wouldn't know HOW to come up with something on their own. Just press a button, move a cursor, adjust a couple of fake knobs on a computer and let it do it for you.
That's fucking music ? WTF.

@durbinjoseph I'm technically a baby boomer (1964) but i think there has been great music in every decade. Sometimes you have to hunt for it or takes time to develop. I certainly know what you mean as far as mass music culture goes and there I agree. There's still great music and it all builds on itself and on and from it's own crazy history i think. This video is practically a different world though and certainly one many don't personally remember. I didn't hear Amboy Dukes till mid to 70's

Ted had incredible skills for this era ... not many players had that kind of control over their feedback in '68.
Ted was, and is, an underated & under appreciated player.

The song is pretty dreadful and Ted had the John Kay starter kit going on there with the sunglasses and the suit. The lead break, though, was bad ass.

Nugent was definitely one of the coolest looking, and best guitarists of this time. Too bad his uber Alpha Male tendencies got the best of his initial rad-ness.

I also like Ted's solo work from the mid 80's. In my opinion it was a whole lot better than that Cat Scratch Fever stuff he did.

Uncle Ted should've stuck with this sound. Really he should stick with the music and leave the political bullshit alone but that's another story. lol; Who knows what music would've sounded like today if the Amboy Dukes stayed together?
MegaTronn 3 years ago
I have a hunch that early Ted Nugent had a bit of an influence on Tony Iommi.
Check out - 0:47 - 1:10 ...
A very Black Sabbath like vibe.

indeed, probably explains why I've been listening to the solo about 1000 times in row.

GX999->"Yes ladies and gentlemen, pop music has de-evolved.
Blame bass players for not keeping up. "
My sentiments... exactly. What happened to bass players like Paul McCartney, Geezer Butler & Tom Kriss (Grand Funk)?
So few modern bassists use the instrument to add depth to the song.
Get with it bassists ... Nikki Sixx made all of you lazy!

HAHA!!!! My teacher was in the Amboy Dukes.. Steve Farmer. :) He plays Rhythm guitar and sings.. He got kicked out of the band for being a bad influence on their music style

Scuseme for being ignorant and you can all say why the fuck did you watch this you little piece of stinking crap, but I checked it out cause I wanted to know about the sound of these band.All I have to say is that it is disturbing, Nugent band was awsome and the darkest sound ever gotten but this I don't like, mainly cause of the dancers in the middle of the band why aren't they in the background or in another side of the room the music doesn't seems apealing to me with those girls in there.
