Theodore Anthony “Ted” Nugent (born December 13, 1948) (aka “The Nuge”, “Motor City Madman”, “Uncle Ted” or just plain Ted) is a guitarist from Detroit, Michigan.

He originally gained fame as a guitarist for the The Amboy Dukes, a psychedelic rock band from the late 60’s best known for their hit “Journey to the Center of Your Mind”. In the 70’s he went solo and had a string of hits including “Stranglehold”, “Free For All”, “Dog Eat Dog”, “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” and perhaps his best known song “Cat Scratch Fever”.

In the 80’s he even tried his hand at acting in a haunting episode of television’s “Miami Vice”. In 1989, he joined Tommy Shaw of Styx, Jack Blades of Night Ranger, and Michael Cartellone to form Damn Yankees, which produced 1990’s chart toppers “Come Again” for Billboard’s #1 and rock ballad “High Enough”, backed by a string section in the studio and a popular video, reaching #3 on U.S. Hot 100, and #2 on AOR charts. More recently he has gained fame (and notoriety) for his support of hunting and his conservative political views. He is an important member of the NRA (National Rifle Association). He’s written four books and released multiple studio albums.

Besides a regular reality type show on cable showcasing Ted’s outdoorsman skills, his most recent foray in music was a reality television show SuperGroup that resulted in a band called Damnocracy. The band’s other members were Sebastian Bach (formerly of Skid Row), Scott Ian (Anthrax) Jason Bonham (“Bonham”, son of Zeppelin’s John Bonham) and Evan Seinfeld (Biohazard).

    Don't care about his political views or even his music but stranglehold is one of the best hard rock songs ever.

    Okay, he may be not racist and his music may be good but that thing he said of Phil Lynott was just inacceptable.

    "I have constantly praised the long list of black musical influences that shaped me as a young musician and continue to inspire me today. Furthermore, I have hired blacks and Mexicans to play in my band. Yet I'm a racist?" Ted Nugent on Blabblermouth

    I think Varg Vikernes, Ted Nugent and Dave Mustaine should get the "I'm a dumbass but my music is awesome" award.

    As much as I don't agree with his politics, the man puts on a damn good live show. I never really would have figured him to be such a huge motown fan...even though he's from Detriot... lol

    >Lifestyle. Well he has been clean and sober for all 63 years of his life. I guess that is such a bad thing. Enjoying the beauty of the world in which we live is also a bad thing...facepalm.jpg
