Max'sKansasCityCan you tell us who was the last U.S. President that served in active duty military?Quote
Edith Grove
Military draft was the law at the time.
Nugent should have served, unless he had a legitimate reason not to.
How many U.S. Presidents did not serve, in time of draft?
Can anyone tell us .....what was their legitimate reason not to?
The guy before our current President served in the Air National Guard.
For the rest, a bit of internet research might give the answer.

He loves the Stones, so he can't be all bad.
If @#$%& was alive and liked the Stones would be be not all bad too?

Eight Presidents from Eisenhower to Bush, Sr. were in WWII. I had forgotten that Johnson was in WWII. You learn when you occasionally peek in at IORR.
It's about context.Quote

Well I will believe it when it is substantiated. BTW Springsteen did the same to dodge the draft. listen to his spoken intro to The River on the live box set. No one here seems to criticise him. So he became anti-war, and Nugent came to a different conclusion. Whatever. they were maybe just young cowards. I've never had to make that choice, and I bet not many war heroes are here either.

Wow that' sick of Nugent. I wonder what the vets think of him now. He's like a modern day Jane Fonda.

Hanoi Jane and the Motor City Madman... seperated at birth?
Will we ever be able to get those images of Jane posing over the dead.... oh... wait... what?

I've seen a lot of ignorant posts from people who tend to lean toward the left here stating that they are wishing for Dick Cheney's death - That is just as ignorant as Ted and don't you think Ted might be running his mouth and playing it up so people stay interested in Ted Nugent? Seitan I don't like extremeism on eith side of the arguments either. This post can show you how divided the USA is right now and for that matter other parts of the worl as there are probably more Europeans than Americans on this board. People are reacting to Ted which is EXACTKY what he wants!

It´s sad when important issues - that we all need to deal with - becomes a media show biz trick, hoopla for the cameras.
When people talk about Aids, Homeless, War, Education, Health Care - dont you think it´s sad that these important issues, become " media entertainment" - and are not dealt seriously. People like Ted Nugent are the enemies of mankind - they turn every important issue into a media circus/joke.

The answer is ...
They ALL avoided that Vietnam war.... one way or another, irregardless of the law at the time.

With Ted - I guess it´s like Motley Crue syndrome - they keep talking about their drug use: When nobody gives a shit about their music anymore...
I guess all that political nonsense is... the only thing that gives Ted Nugent a voice in the media...nobody gives a shit about his songs anymore. His political views are the only thing that keeps selling his crappy music. And that's why we talk about it.

I rest my case. You nuts are all the same.

It amazes me how so many of you think someone's intelligence or politics has something to do with their music. How many musicians that we love are (or were) violent? WTF does that have to do with musical ability?!
Why isn't anyone saying, "Mick Jagger - he's a total @#$%& that's unable to cut it as a solo artist." I wonder why - because that stuff is true, too.
As idiotic as the Nuge may be he has been able to sell a helluva lot more records on his own than all of the solo-Stones put together. So, one could argue that despite him being a violent, insane, stupid jerk, he is better than any other Stone who attempted to go solo.
As an aside, having a hit doesn't make one a good or bad musician. Hell, the Black Eyed Peas have had a bunch of hits.

no. he's has always made uninteresting, sophmoric music. the lyrics are abysmal coupled with overly simplistic repetive guitar riffs. his music is, if anything, comically amusing, probably mainly because he's an ignorant redneck.

I agree. People that follow him don't know any better. Very low IQ. You can judge a person that go to Ted nugent concerts. Ignorant.
Don't forget the childish 2nd grade lyrics that he writes. He reminds me of a preacher that says give to the lord as he drives off in his BMW.

To come back to the music and Nugent as a guitarist :
Does it make sense to say that in my opinion -I am not a guitarist myself so I might not have a good grip -
71Tele or Naturalust or other guitarists on iorr ,please tell me what you think about :
Nugent is a "feel" type of player -loud ,hard and strong -but not technical and sure not a virtuoso - unlike Mick taylor -
Does " unsophisticated" could be appropriate ?
Your ear is intuitive in this case Sway. I couldn't describe his playing much better than that. Not much finesse. More LOUD balls to the wall rock and roll. Not so much about the musicianship, more about the show, the gimmicks, the drummer and his hair. Hard to even mention MT is the same sentence, they are miles apart. Nugent couldn't shime MT's shoes on a good day.
I love Mick Taylors playing and spirit. I am indifferent to Mr. Nugents playing and I think he sold his soul a long time ago.lol peace
