Thanks for posting such a cool retro video. The Nuge Always rocked. His band did too. What a treat. Who gives a shit about his political leanings...Can any of you doubters and left wing nay-sayers rock like that? I doubt it. Spend less time criticizing and more time rockin'.
Ted ROX! He was anti-drugs and alcohol all his life--so to you who think he was high on coke--get a clue. The guy was high on making millions of dollars and having audiences totally get into his jams! I also love how he's full blown NRA and all about hunting and KILLIN DEFENSELESS ANIMALS! YEAH! And to all you liberal, left wing pu$ $ies out there...Go back to your Bee Gees and huggin' TREES!
@nikh158 The reason Derek St. Holmes looks so weird is because that's not him, it's Charlie Huhn playin' & sangin' with Ted. Derek had already left the band and Charlie came in for the Weekend Warriors album.
@InsertName125 Only for the intelligent to understand . You on the otherhand , , , cant seem to get it it it . . .See only an intelligent person would understand that an AWESOME song like " Stranglehold " , , , can only be AWESOME , , , because of its written, performed and fuck you douchebag insertname, , , by the Nuge, , , you assh*le
@3RWE3 You're lonely, aren't you? Is that sad little period hanging out there in the middle of nowhere some kind of symbol of how you feel about yourself? What's the matter? Do you need uncle Ted to give you a hug?
@InsertName125 Feeling still hurt are they ? So rude from a guy that uses douche's for mouthwash . Seriously are the douche's used already ? , are they from your family ?, or do you pick them up on the sidewalk at one of your occupy wall st. " fantasies " ? Thanks for the fun but no fun anymore your boring !
So glad Uncle Teddy and Derek St. Holmes got back together. Dereks voice on this song is perfect. I saw Uncle Teddy over the summer and the show was fantastic!
It is a sad state of affairs when people can no longer just enjoy an electrifying performer in his prime without bringing their own political sentiments to bear.....Don't talk/Just rock
@hoggzski Hopefully as many as possible. Everybody knows if you wanna get high, somebody gotta die. That's the #1 rule, us liberals are bloodthirsty. In fact, we don't even feel comfortable smoking unless we know for sure that a whole family was slaughtered while farming this shit.
oh wow, super geiles lied, macht mich heute noch unheimlich an ich liebe diesen song und band, erinnert mich an disco- sound in berlin sound so hies die disco damals, wurde mehrmals geschlossen, wegen drugs u.s.w., schadfe geile atmosphäre, geile typen und auch weiber, bin nicht lesbisch, waren eine coole gemeinschaft, sille64
Look at some of your "idols" when they we young. any that came out of the seventies probably looked similar. it was the times..and he is angry - angry at the govt for taking away your freedoms. something you should be angry about also.
Look at some of your "idols" when they we young. any that came out of the seventies probably looked similar. it was the times..and he is angrey - angry at the govt for taking away your freedoms. something you should be angry about also.
@FrankSmith1420 I guess he's supposed to have short hair, and be wearing a $1000 suit, looking like a Wall Street maggot? Oh wait....then he'd be a Democrat.
@jimphotocock I was at O Porto in Amsterdam three years ago. The bar tender said Ted and his road Manager cam in. He said Ted was an angry old, sober man.
@Kirkola Well its probably true that Ted's singers have better range and smoothness etc etc. but just as good at playing guitar? Uhhh no... not even close.
@jay5775 I can only assume you never saw Derek solo on St. Paradise and compare like I did. Technically, may be even better than Ted...but wouldn't wear a Tarzan outfit on stage.
i love how if you wanna watch nugent rock out u gotta read comment from soros' minions who live in their mamas basement eating hotpockets spreading hate because they have not other options in life. And please stop ejaculating everytime you hear pelosi reid or obama speak you gullable ppl. Pop your mamas titty out of you mouth a get a job.
Yep, '79 is correct year. I too waited all week to watch Ted host this Midnight Special. Charlie Huhn is singing, he joined Ted to perform on the Weekend Warriors album and supporting tour, and has been with Foghat since Lonesome Dave died in '00. "Bay bay!" Ugh.
@Swineswallow1 And all conservatives are self righteous assholes. Grow up..both parties have been corrupted by big business for a long time now. wake up...
@tednugentlives we had a budget surplus when bill clinton was in office.bush comes in with massive tax breaks for the rich and it's been down hill since.turn off faux news douchbag!
Budget surplus because of Newt Gingrich and the republican congress that took control in 1995. Clinton didn't have a surplus until then. Know the facts... Bush lowered taxes for EVERYONE that paid taxes and the rich still paid a higher share... The economy tanked after Pelosi and the dems took control of congress in 2007....
first time i saw ted was back around 80 at the notre dame acc. my ears rang for 3 days after that it was so loud! newspaper even had a write up about how loud it was averaging about 125 decibals all night! kick ass!
(2/2) '“What did young Shawn play? “Just wild stuff” -- he stretched apart and wiggled the fingers of his left hand.” -Excerpt from Musician Magazine 1992, on the great Shawn Lane-
(1/2) “That's Ted Nugent. And Ted, he's this guitarslinger, a jammer, and likes to blow people away. This was his hometown, Detroit, and he got up -- he was just gonna blow me away, you know, he started whatever licks he always played” -- Shawn started smiling – “and I was this little kid (16 years old), and I just . . . just greased him, man.” Laughter. In his hometown. And then afterwards I was kinda like, 'Hey, Ted,' and he was, 'Rrr, get away!
I thought that the 2nd solo in the song was just Ted with an Octavizer, but then my bass teacher told me it was a bass solo, and I had to come back and check the video, and he was right.
the thing i love about ted is how he handles his byrdland, a visually large guitar, so well, and can play so well with so many simple riffs. He outstages msot of those he plays with, especially that aerosmith performance of milk cow blues and the video where he does a version of chuck berry's "Carol".
Charlie is ok, but derek st. holmes was so much better - the solo he pulls off on wang dang on the live at hammersmith track is really something!
Gracias el posto. I miss this era of Ted. Back then, he didn't talk nearly as much so when he spoke, you didn't want to miss a single word, especially the rapid fire banter between songs. Of course, we now realize it wasn't political or environmental, it was just about pussy. He seemed more like a wild animal than the caricature he's become. Nothing seemed formulaic back then, whether it was or not.
this is a cool vid! always thought this was a great tune.nice to see it.very bass driven,even a bass solo and dual leads. and st.holmes' singing=top notch.
Saw Derek St Holmes & Ted several times including the live LP version of Stranglehold"@ Springfield MA in (77?). A drunk, pretty young lady came up the aisle, sat in my lap, and asked me what I thought about 'sexuality'. It was a GREAT night all around!

@gernblensten That ain't Derek St. Holmes. Charlie Huhn if my memory serves.
Still, Ted was a force to be reckoned with from 74 to 80. Definitely at the top of his game.

Saw Derek St Holmes & Ted several times including the live LP version of Stranglehold"@ Springfield MA in (77?). A drunk, pretty young lady came up the aisle, sat in my lap, and asked me what I thought about 'sexuality'. It was a GREAT night all around!
