His first album, as well as a smattering of ones after, are great. Even fantastic. He lost it pretty quickly but had a the classic run many had in the 70s of like 5 pretty good album and then a live album thats basically the best of those. Ted was no exception.
As for today, I couldn't really care less about his politics. Sure he's a gun toting loon but I pay him to play guitar. So as long as he can still do that I'm fine. And honestly, he's entertaining. I may disagree with everything he stands for, but he's an entertaining figure and he's not hurting anyone. I just don't get when a musician's politics really bothers someone else. You pay to hear to the music. I have no problem being a Ted Nugent music fan, entertained by the man, and disagreeing with all his beliefs.

Forgetting about his politics and views, which are so insulting that I simply can not ignore them, and just focus on the rockn roll, I still always found there was something off-putting about him. It was that stage rap/ banter.
Take Leon Russel in his prime; like on the Concert for Bangla Desh. He would do those lowdown raps, and it was funny. But when TN did it , never sat right; dunno.

Any musician spouting off about politics is stupid and boring.these aren’t well rounded people, music is based on emotion and musicians,no matter how much they try to hide behind a cool exterior,are overly emotional people.
Whether it’s being a fake tough guy like Ted Nugent or Keith Richards waving guns and knives around or a peacenick like James Taylor or John Lennon they’re all full of crap.
The passive ones don’t understand that their freedom was one for them at the end of a gun barrel and the fake tough guys don’t seem to understand those guns weren’t pointed at small animals or golf balls.
Entertainers act like children because to be really creative is to be somewhat childlike.in Teds mind he’s a Marine out on patrol even though he’s shooting at something that can’t shoot back,just like In Keith’s mind stabbing a knife into a table and yelling at a sycophant was the same as ambushing a guy and putting a knife to his throat,”so I took my blade out”-they’re children don’t take it seriously.

Nonsense, you're still here, aren't you? I've had posts deleted and threads I took part in deleted. That's Bjornulf's place to decide what stays and what goes. As far as political stances, I'm in the middle with leanings left and right depending on the issue. My views on this board clearly reflect that. I've never been banned once. More than one view is tolerated. Don't start fights and don't deliberately flout the board rules of conduct. Bjornulf may not like mixing with the clientele, but he's not a bad landlord as landlords go.
