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).

    I don't give a fuck about his convictions or political ideas, I want to see him live or listen to his music, not marry him. You guys are seriously retarded if you bash his work just because he's an ass.

    Haven't you seen South Park? Everyone knows that Bono is the world's biggest peace of shit that was taken by a mad scientist to break the world record of the biggest shit ever taken. Its true I tell you.

    I too doubt Bono would do thatt, not out in the open anyway because it hurts his public image. But that's the only reason stopping him from doing that. Because it's not like he practices what he preaches as this ... not that I believe in the ridiculous CO2 crap but he's the one preaching about it. As for his music, nobody should have cared in the first place about the average bullshit U2's released.
