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.

Why not skip it? Because we discuss opinions here. No one is being "holier than thou". They simply express a different opinion than you. That's all it is, opinion and taste. I happen to think this person's "music" is dreadful and stupid. If you like it, great! If people feel compelled to ask the question in an OT thread if they are fans of a musician, they invite responses one way or another...I tolerate your posts, you should be able tolerate mine or others whom express contrary views to yours. It's only rock & roll, as you said.

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 ?

I have no opinion of Nugent as a guitarist, as it is not a type of music I enjoy listening to. His type of playing is not to my taste, but this is no commentary on his skill or ability as a guitarist.

Nugent says he's insulted by concert cancellation

LOS ANGELES -- Ted Nugent said he was insulted by the cancellation of his planned concert at an Army post over his comments about President Barack Obama.

Commanders at the Fort Knox, Ky., post nixed Nugent's segment of a June concert after the rocker and conservative activist said at a recent National Rifle Association meeting that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama is re-elected.

Nugent told The Associated Press this week that his words were not intended as a threat against the president.

"To think that there's a bureaucrat in the United States Army that would consider the use or abuse of First Amendment rights in determining who is going to perform at an Army base is an insult and defiles the sacrifices of those heroes who fought for the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights," Nugent said.

Nugent said he had received messages of support from troops and noted that the Secret Service had met with him and closed its case about the remarks.

"There is nothing in my spoken word or written word that could be even wildly considered by any stretch of the imagination to be a threat to anyone," Nugent said.

Asked to clarify the remarks at the NRA convention, Nugent said: "A whole bunch of us ... believe ... we are in danger of being improperly and criminally jailed - I mean criminally on the part of the government."

Earlier in the week, Nugent pleaded guilty to transporting a black bear he illegally killed in Alaska, saying he was sorry for unwittingly violating the law.

He told the AP that he advises fellow hunters, "even when you are aghast at a maniac, inexplicable, illogical law, please abide by those laws at all costs."

Nugent said the prosecution in U.S. District Court was the result of a "witch hunt" by federal officials over his activism.

"We the people are turning up the heat," he said. "And that's why I'm being singled out by certain fish and game agencies and certain U.S. attorneys."

The AP was not successful in obtaining comment from Jack Schmidt, the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted Nugent this week in Ketchikan, Alaska. An email seeking comment from Karen Loeffler, the U.S. Attorney for Alaska, was not immediately returned.

Associated Press writer Mark Thiessen in Anchorage, Alaska, contributed to this report.

Nugent avoided the draft. Why would anyone in the armed forces want to see this guy? He's everything that out soldiers are not.

Does everyone here understand that the war people
avoided back in the 1960s was the Vietnam war? correct?

Does everyone agree that war was a bad idea?
Does anyone here think that war was a good idea?

Does everyone here understand the difference
between a drafted military and a volunteeer military?

Is anyone here in the military?

Military draft was the law at the time.
Nugent should have served, unless he had a legitimate reason not to.

Can you tell us who was the last U.S. President that served in active duty military?

How many U.S. Presidents did not serve, in time of draft?
Can anyone tell us .....what was their legitimate reason not to?
