There's something in my newsfeed about Ted Nugent. I'm not going to share it.

[MissMillie]

I'll accept your gratitude now.

[SharonClark]

2. You nust have an "old news" feed.

It was already posted and 31 DUers commented on it.

But thanks for not resposting it.

I imagine I didn't see the DU post on it because the DU post sank like a stone.

3. R&R Hall of Fame

He was complaining about who gets into the hall of fame. Of course, he is not in there.

[MissMillie]

7. Well, he's not famous

he's notorious. lol

[ProfessorGAC]

9. And, He Can't Play None, Either

He's a hack guitarist.
He's never even been the best guitar player in his own band. (Except when he went with a trio & he was the only guitarist.)

10. As much as I despise him, and hope he's eaten alive by wild animals on a hunting trip,

I have a slight disagreement with your post.

As a musician, I can tell you that there are bigger hacks than Nugent when it comes to guitar playing. I've played with plenty of them. I won't take the guitar skills that he does possess away from him, as much as I hate him. I'd rate him as "High Average". He hasn't evolved out of his particular style, which makes him a "left behind".

100% agreement on not being the best in his band. Derek St. Holmes ran circles around him, both playing guitar and singing.

11. I'm An Accomplished Guitar Player Myself

We disagree on him being high average.
His playing is pedestrian, devoid of linearity, and repetitive. I'm WAY better than he is, and I didn't even start playing until I was 19. (Admittedly, by then I was a piano player for 15 years, 6 of those involved in jazz competitions.)
If he was just a guy backing a singer, I might have a different view. But, when one is headlining one's own act, being less than awful doesn't cut it.
Agree on Derek, & in Damn Yankess, Tommy Shaw blew him away.
There are several very renowned guitarists that I think are awful. Some of those names would make me unpopular in these parts. So, I'll leave them unnamed.

12. Ha! I'll give you one that will get me chased by an angry mob with pitchforks, but I don't care.

Jimmy Page. Especially in a live performance.

14. You Will Not Be Alone, Sir

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Right With You!

His playing in "Song Remains The Same" is brutal!
2 I'll identify by initials will ruffle feathers: NY & KR

4. Ted who?? You mean Mr. Shitty Pants?

Now that is a piece of wasted carbon-based life form taking up too much oxygen .

[2naSalit]

5. Yep...

A serious waste of good air that should be put to better use by endangered species.

13. Unless he died it's not news n/t

17. Thank you and Happy New Year, MissMillie!

Seeing Nugent might put a curse on January for most any observer.
