That's probably why, in some cases, he decided to opt for tasteful album covers like thus:

He would have alot of respect as a guitarist if he kpt his mouth shut. Now when someone mentions his name we don't think of Gibson Byrdland guitars we think of someone unstable. A lose cannon crackpot.

Right. HE needs to keep his mouth shut. But only because 99% of the people on this site are left leaning so do not agree with him so he needs to shut up. lame - and predictable.

not even one single album in my collection...I've always thought this guy looked phony on his album-sleeves...

Hate him or love him.... there is no phony in the man, WYSIWYG
Nugent has been saying and doing and acting consistantly for 50 years.

Besides..... judging a book by its cover... are you kidding?


Once again this turns ino another silly IORR thread where some "holier than thous" are deciding 30 years into the game what/who is valid or not valid, which bands are worthy or unworthy... which is blah blah blah.... it seems that very few on this site actually abide by its name. Its only rock and roll, nothing more or less..... no need for all the hate and pounding name calling "Butt Rock" ? really? really? Why not just skip the thread if you hate an artist so much?...why feel compelled/obligated to waste your precious time to bashing on them?... it makes no sense, do you really think you will change one fans mind? That is not gonna happen... either way... it is just silly.

BS. He is conservative and that is why most people here dislike him. We all know THAT!

Plus he hunts - OMG - he hunts! How terrible.

True. Sad but true. From what I've read, Nugent had a student and medical deferment.
Lots of people did. My brother had a student deferment. Now, if you think my brother avoided the draft because of this, be VERY careful how you respond.
Also, I don't give a toss about Nugent, his music, or his guitar playing.
Never cared for it and never will.

Relax, nobody attacked your brother, and you're right: Lots of people had deferrments. The distinction I clearly made is people who used whatever opportunity to avoid service who later in life discovered they really enjoyed sending other people's kids to war, while also criticizing those who were opposed. It's blatant hypocrisy. Nugent is a blowhard who issued veiled - but empty - threats to assasinate the president, and made a big fool of himself in the process. You don't like a president or his policies? We have elections in this country for that. But no, that's not good enough for Nugent and his ilk. (Not that Mr. Nugent is capable of making a coherent political argument). They have to threaten or hint at violence.

Not being political, but I'd love to see a bare knuckler between Nugent and Springsteen.

My money's on Ted, but hopefully they would beat the holy crap out of eachother with no man left standing.

And take you down with them.

For those interested in how Mr. Macho Man got out of going to Vietnam, I quote directly from the Liveleak website:

"Nugent claims that 30 days before his Draft Board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last ten days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment."

And when he indulges in his "political" utterances or stupidly calls the president a traitor and threatens to kill him, he continues to "cake himself with excrement", metaphorically speaking.

Ah, but I do: The story was in The Stranger newspaper in Seattle April 25 edition, page 7. Here's the link to the Liveleak website which was their source: [www.liveleak.com]

Anyone who indulges in violent rhetoric deserves to be called out. It's Nugent that's stupid, not the story, (which of course is not "my" story, contrary to what you say, I merely quoted it). Nugent is a bully, and he doesn't seem to know the difference between political advocacy and violent threats against leaders.

I looked... there is no quick info anywhere you provided... not to mention "The Stranger newspaper" is the source? please.

Waste of time.
