Cat Scratch Fever?

@dletch2 -- I also have more respect for Alice Cooper if only for his amazing cameo on Wayne's World.

@tablejockey   


   Amboy dukes are great! So is his solo stuff, and the damn Yankees are good also!
  He became a much better guitar player as he played more.
more technical. He plays the picking style of guitar play, vs the down stroke method.  
  Rock n Roll!
  

"GREAT WHITE BUFFALO!!!"

articdeth,
This era of Ted might be his best outside of the Amboy Dukes.
Just before Ted decided he had to be even more Ted Nugent.

Wow,  all the reading, we all now know who loves/hates America!

  GREAT WHITE BUFFALO!!!

glupson,

That's a Jeopardy "daily double" fact. Bravo!
 Love reading R&R trivia.

Machine Head still gets a spin now and then. One of those albums that MUST be listened to LOUD.

tablejockey,

"Looks silly now, but when you're a teenage kid who just got an electric guitar, it's Beethoven's 5th!"

Apparently, Smoke on the Water (you know by whom) was based on Beethoven's 5th symphony.

"Blackmore later claimed that the main power chord riff is an interpretation of inversion of Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven, and that "I owe him a lot of money"."

Smoke on the Water - Wikipedia

Geez,

Glupson, I guess when one aligns with the orange guy, it's what you do-hook up with team players.

I'm glad I got to see Uncle Ted back when he was  the Motor City Madman(76). I'll just remember him by that.

Looks silly now, but when you're a teenage kid who just got an electric guitar, it's Beethoven's 5th! Ted was best having Derek St Holmes sing, and Ted just do the guitar gymnastics, and scream now and then like a mental patient.

And then it asks you if you want to pay in Euros, Canadian Dollars, or British Pounds.

(Ok, there is a US Dollar option, too.)

Perhaps it’s an overdose of Rock and Roll....

"I got rid of my Ted records."

I never had one. The cover of Cat Scratch Fever (did he have any other?) has always been inducing some discomfort so I could not have it around.

It’s for my own peace of mind.

What a sad end to one's wild image rock career when the man starts selling pillows on his website.

I got rid of my Ted records. Not cancel culture since I paid for all his material, seen a bunch of shows, overlooked his draft dodging despite his jingoism, but I can’t have his image or work in my house anymore. It’s for my own peace of mind.

Nice first post. Thanks for letting us know "about" you. Very instructional..........

Awesome coach! Though your ability to think logically may take a hit. :p

My Shunyata's are on the way, from the lending library! Kinda of excited for the comparisons.

"who could expect logic from people who spend $1000.00 on power cords."

coachpoconnor-I've plugged $20K power cords into my meager $20K system....
That could be a subject thread which would last only a day or so, only to be hijacked and deleted! 
 
I do wonder how Ted is feeling these days? 

dletch...I'm still chuckling... you're right, who could expect logic from people who spend $1000.00 on power cords.
"That's funny right there"

In an audiophile site? Good luck with that ;-)

This is Forum is like “One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
Drinking Bleach, Nuking Hurricanes, Wind Mill Cancer and George and the boys taking over the airports in 1776.
It will be nice when the anti-intellectualism movement fades a bit.

The problem is, when you‘re famous uninformed idiots actually believe you.

Be glad your not in India now.

What a mess. 

They are a lot alike as they are both Republicans (IDC as I hate both parties) and yes Ted is an idiot and so are most in some way. 

Woh there oldhvymec, you have stepped way over a line! Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper are nothing alike. Ted Nugent is a twit. Uninformed, unintelligent twit. Alice Cooper is nothing like that. There is an obvious brain in his head that he actually uses. While Nugent was claiming that the virus was a hoax, this is what Alice Cooper said in August last year.

No, I mean take the issue seriously and eradicate it in your country by whatever means possible. Vaccination is an added bonus.

pesky, may want to clarify that by "grab the bull by the horns" you mean get vaccinated, at least that is what i think.

Grab the bull by its horns and mask wearing isn‘t needed. Don’t be dumb asses.Just take Covid seriously and eradicate it. Been there done that. Thank the Lord.

That is one big little grocery store. In a silly twist of things, the TV guy standing in an empty parking lot is wearing a mask while the woman in a studio is not. Go figure. All three of them.

Did anyone else think this thread was about cat owners and the nightmares, concerns, and actual damage done to speakers and high end gear by their well clawed pets? I did.

I like Ted Nugent, Todd Rundgren, Roger Waters, but I DO NOT WANT to hear them rant about politics in between songs in concert. I really do not want to hear them or celebs talk politics in interviews either. We have got FNC, msdnc, CNN, and politics forums etc, devoted to those topics.

As for me, I would rather drink cat pee than vote for a democrat ever. But you don't really need to know that about me here, or I you, in this venue. As for those who wish ill health or death for those who don't agree with their opinions, well "bless your heart".

I saw V H open for AC/DC . Saw Sabbath twice in Fresno and once in Madera . Saw Zepplin SATURDAY at Oakland Coliseum, the next days show was their last in US . Saw Stones at Candlestick Park. Some of my favorite Fresno shows were ZZ Top opening for a no show Savoy Brown , Deep Purple ( Machine Head ), Foghat , and the original Sabbath . The Buell pic is posted on my EBay , only 150 mph Sportster on the block . CHP clocked me at 123 and let me off with a warning . Engine was built by Chris Rivas , land speed record holder for a Harley Bagger . Mostly ride my 00’ Road King . Cheers to all you old rockers with well worn ear drums . BTW , I missed Joplin and Hendrix and thankfully Viet Nam due to age . God bless those that served .   

hey buellrider97 cool motorsikkle

"Love Montrose , saw them open for Slade at the Rainbow Ballroom Fresno. Their first album just came out"

Sammy was in his mid 20’s? in that video. I see a young Robert Plant vibe. The Montrose debut album is one of my 70’s American R&R keeper LP’s. I wasn’t a Sam Halen fan either. Saw REAL VH in 78 when the album came out. Lost interest in them after the album though.

As a guitar fan/player, always thought Ronnie Montrose was a good musician.

Great R&R concert memory buellrider97. I’ve got a handful. Just no epic Led Zep,RS, Who.... I was a few years too late-too young.

@tablejockey - Love Montrose , saw them open for Slade at the Rainbow Ballroom Fresno. Their first album just came out . Sammy only sang. No motorcycle opening for Bad Motor Scooter, no Theremon for Space Station #5. I lived in Freeno and went to high school with the the bass players sister . Ronnie Montrrose was the real deal , and greatly appreciated. 

probably the grandfather of them all....

"Lead Singers Disease" 
buellrider97- It's  a condition the CDC has been ignoring unfortunately.

"musicians that suffer this condition condition are Sammy Hagar"
Let's just remember Sammy as the lead singer of Montrose.

"Add Bono to your list."
pesky_wabbit-Bono couldn't keep his mouth shut in the 80's. About when entertainers/sports figures started being listended to outside of what their "job" is.

An earlier post asked how he got it. He got it at a Naples Florida market called Seed to Table. I can see the store from the end of my street and it has become yet another national embarrassment for Florida. The connection to Nugent was in our local paper. Evidently he has a condo here and is friends with the piece of human garbage  that owns the place. This is what we are forced to live with when people watch Fox news 24/7:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/video-shows-umasked-employees-shoppers-florida-grocery-store-n1...

Anyone who steps foot in that store deserves exactly what they get. What sucks is that people such as myself and my wife, who has heart disease, will be stuck inside forever because so much of this country believe nothing but lies. The owner of the store compares Covid to heart attacks in the video, and asks why don’t we shut everything down because of heart attacks? And the reporter is too stupid to tell him “BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CATCH A HEART ATTACK!!!” As long as we have stupid people like Ted Nugent and his friend Alfie Oakes from the video spreading lies, this thing is going nowhere. 

Add Bono to your list.

   Poor Ted , sorry to hear he’s sick . He’s been suffering for decades from another serious condition and now he has Covid on top of that , bummer ! He also suffers from L. S. D. or it’s medical name Lead Singers Disease . This condition is from an enlarged ego that puts pressure on the brain causing a type of verbal diarrhea that results in the constant need to impress people and believing one is always correct  . While not fatal, this condition is progressive and usually permanent. It has been diagnosed in both Left and Right leaning people. Other musicians that suffer this condition condition are Sammy Hagar and Ian Gillian , but it’s becoming more common and has been recently diagnosed in numerous professional athletes . L.S.D. can also cause serious rectal inflammation if the afflicted person comes into close proximity with politicians. Hopefully someday science will find a cure for this horrible condition , but we must first understand they need our help . Cheers , Mike . 

@peskywabbit you have a great PM and also a cool username, and agree with you on all points.

Ted caught the hoax. It's what he wanted. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

" Nobody gets out alive, nobody."

sj00884-
after seeing your avatar, reminded me of Ted's connection. Like Uncle Ted or not, he's part of R&R history.
https://www.contactmusic.com/ted-nugent/news/nugent-i-warned-hendrix-to-give-up-drugs_1160583

Imagine if he did...?

I just don‘t get all this believer and non believer crap. Where I come from we have addressed this issue and I can go into a shop without a mask and feel perfectly safe.

Nobody gets out alive, nobody.

I'm on a Ted binge guys...

Picked up an Amboy Dukes-"Call of the Wild" first press naturally and CHEAP. Listened to my other Dukes LP-Journey, T.N. and Free for All.

My other score since I mentioned Alice in the opening post-Billiion Dollar Babies. Early press, with billion dollar  bill intact. I f-upped the perfect cover removing the price sticker.  What a great album! 

After the weekend, Ted and Alice probably wont see light for years.

Sorry, it’s all about wise legislation pal.

Gun control is using both hands.

i‘m really glad I live in a land where people take Covid and gun controls very seriuosly. The outcmes are there for all to see.

LONG live Ted...

"This thread really needs better ties to audio (and levity)."

blacktalon-

The "C word" is not something to include in a thread now.

It started as a comment on Ted's misfortune and how I was quite fond of his thing during his heyday. Within 4 post it brings in someone who by his now deleted post, wants to control how I post something, like some majordomo of Agon. 

I can understand the more knowledgeable/qualified becoming agitated by his posts. 

Weird audio forum dude. There is  always at least one of those  in any enthusiast forum. 

This thread really needs better ties to audio (and levity).

I heard vaccines are more effective if the steel used for the needles is tested for directional properties first.  Anyone try a double-blind test on vaccine effectiveness by getting jabbed with needles where the steel was extruded in different directions to test this theory?

I also understand the J&J vaccine feels a little more analog due to the recent feedback, and Pfizer vaccine is a less forgiving/ feels more harsh when the muscle is poorly made.

And ventilators supposed have more 'air' when the cables are raised up off the ground.

I interpret the lyrics to Stranglehold as being about a man whose woman left him and the man gets his revenge:

You remember the night that you left me
You put me in my place
Got you in a stranglehold baby
Last night I crushed your face

I never thought much about it as a teenager, but these lyrics are very disturbing!

The stupid and loud are great entertainment. Especially when the rent comes due.

I honestly don't know if Trump is truly racist. Xenophobic highly likely. If you take out the racist in your sentence, the guaranteed accuracy goes way up. He did good things economically, and the tariffs were absolutely the right thing to do. He got people in the Middle East to talk, didn't start any new wars, and scared Kim enough to reduce the sabre rattling. But as a "wartime" President, he was a failure. People died due to his inaction. Period.
