I was watching "No Reservations" with Anthony Bourdain and there was a segment with Ted Nugent on it.. I had forgotton how much I dislike this arrogant, self-righteous idiot.. He seems like someone you either love or hate.. What are your thoughts??

I love Uncle Teddy, The Thwackmaster, Baron Tedly von Nugenburger, The Motor City Madman...
I guess you get the idea.
I like Ted Nugent,I saw him about 3 or 4 times when he was with Damn Yankees. He's so cute!
I'm from Michigan, we love our terrible Ted! Used to go to Joe Louis Arena every New Years eve to see him, one time he did the entire show in a loin cloth & kneehigh moccassin boots
He really really can be a jerk though, oh yes he can! One of the concerts he kept telling the crowd "Fuck those cops & get your asses up here!" Another time some guy threw a penny at him & he told him "just for that asshole I'm fuckin you girlfriend after the show!" I'll bet the Detroit police are glad he doesn't spend NYE at the Joe anymore!
Bourdain or Nugent???
Just kidding. I love/am a bit in love with Bourdain.
Nugent ~ Meh. My son's Dad is really into him, though (he's a bowhunter, too) so we are gonna get him Nugent's book "Blood Trails II" for his birthday.
Ted does have a good point, though, about feeding venison to the homeless. I dunno, a lot of people got pissed about the whole idea, though.
What's not to like?
I do agree with his hunting philosophy. He is also anti-drug/alcohol which isn't such a bad thing.. It's just his horridly arrogant personality that REALLY rubs me the wrong way..
Anyone who can write a sweet, touching love song like "My Love Is Like a Tire Iron" is okay by me.
I hate Ted Nugent he is such an egomaniac!
I do think Anthony Bordain is hot though.
I love Ted & I love Anthony. Complete opposites, but magnetic personalities that just suck you in.
If that's not romance, I don't know what is!!
One of the guys in my wedding party forced the DJ to play "Stranglehold" during the reception. Me and the boys jumped on the stage and started banging our heads, air guitars flailing away. You could hear my wife's heels clicking OVER the sound of the music as she stomped over to get it shut off. Pfft. I think it's a lovely wedding song! She's lucky. My buddy wanted the DJ to play some Iron Maiden.
I always go to see Ted when he come to the area for concerts. I was never into hunting or guns so his show on hunting he had never impressed me but I have all his albums. as aragant as he might be I still listen to his records from time to time. Just as I stated in the Gary Glitter thread, I listen to the music for the music not the artist
I am a TOTAL NUGEAHOLIC!!! Long live the NUGE!!! He is arrogant...He is an asshole...But if you can't get down with some lovin to the tune of Stranglehold...Then you ain't worth the powder and the lead it'd take ta kill ya...
ROCK ON!!!
Dayum...Would he not be WILD in da sack...WOOOOO HOOOOO!!! I'm talkin swingin off ceilin fans and S***!!!
sorry, but I can't stand the guy, his music or personality
Hmmmm, I've always loved Little Miss dangerous. Maybe you had to see the Miami Vice episode that featured the song, it was the best one! Anybody see it? Very pretty lady lures guys to hotel & cuts em up. Her husband would follow her & clean up the mess.....real death hag stuff!
Here's Ted in his New Years outfit..........Yeah baby!!!!!!
The song Stranglehold is a great song. But it's one great song. This man is an atrocity. Sure he has a great song and a great idea once in awhile, anyone can. This man is so full of himself I just can't stand it. What a simpleass motherfucker. "Me!! MEEEEE!!!" is what every word that comes out of his mouth amounts to.
Good thing he's not known for having such the rabid fanbase, like some other celebrities. You know, it's okay to not like some but it's downright blasphemy not to like others? Good thing The Nuge-ster has a large set of detractors. What a giant asshole.
Assh*le !
Does Ted, have a son named Todd that hosts Whammy??? I think Ted RAWKS..Never mind it is Todd Newton...Oh, well he is hot anyway.

Some people worship at the shrine of people like Heath Ledger...I am far from worshipin the man...I just think he RAWKS!!! I've seen him live and there was amazing...Best live show I have ever seen!
I rawked out hard to grand-master Ted in my day....have some fond memories of passing the doobie-wah and dicussing the world`s issues with Cat Scatch screeching in the background....that being said, he is an asshole of the highest order and I wouldn`t screw him with Amy Winehouse`s snatch......
Hes nasty, his music sucks, and hes a pedophile.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
My husband HATES Ted Nugent. His stepdad used to make him go hunting and fishing and with this came watching Ted's tapes. Husband told me later he almost didn't date me cause my daddy's name is Ted. I was like DANG thats bad!!
Like I said...Uncle Ted is a touchy subject...Blast away...I can't stand some of the celebs that are discussed on this forum...If I share an opinion about them I have never been blasted...I know there are many Ted haters and that's alright...I don't think he will ever be a winner of any popularity contest...It's all in what trips yer trigger...He melts my barrels...
I couldn't have said it better myself. The guy is a total DICK. I love his music though. He has a habit of playing Billy Bob's when he comes to Dallas. I hate, hate, HATE that place and won't go see him because he won't play at a different venue. I saw him a couple of times during his 70's heyday and loved his concerts.
The one thing I like most about Ted is that he IS AN ASSHOLE! And proud of it. I'd rather see real assholiness (yes it's a word, as of right now) than fake anything. I don't agree with every thing the man says. But, Ted speaks his mind.
and brags of his relations with them. In 1978, he petitioned a court to become a legal guardian to a 17 yr old girl so he could have access to her.
He was also a draft-dodger during the Vietnam years.
"In the December 15, 1990 issue of the Detroit Free Press Magazine, Nugent was quoted as saying that 30 days before his draft board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days, he ingested nothing but Vienna sausages and Pepsi; and a week before his physical, he stopped using bathrooms altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with his own excrement, stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. "... but if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd killed all the hippies in the foxholes...I would have killed everybody."

He threatened to kill Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton recently in an onstage rant

I saw him a couple of times in concert during the 1970's. His claims of being drug free are false, as he smoked pot onstage during one of those shows. He's a great showman, but also a blow-hard, exaggerates and lies a lot.
Ted is the Man! Rock on Ted!
I never did see what the big deal was with him...his music just didn't appeal to me.
The Great White Buffalo...another classic!!!!!!!!
Hey, I sold Tooth, Fang & Claw.......just the CD, no case or cover, on Ebay for $10.50! I found a CD case in the drugstore parking lot filled with CD's, so I paid nothing for it to begin with!
What I can say for sure, and this discussion only proves it, when you love Ted, you LOVE him, when you hate Ted.....you HATE him!
Nugent is a womanizing pos!
Look at it this way...If we got rid of all of the arrogant assholes in the world, the congress of the United States would be completely empty. Oh yeah...the entertainment industry would be down to about 3 participants, and all of them too boring to deal with.
For a pairing of Larger Than Life types, go back to the The Nuge's album "Free For All" from about 30 years ago. There you have (on several tracks) the pairing of Ted Nugent on guitar and a pre-"Bat Out of Hell" Meat Loaf! When Meat Loaf and his original touring band were in rehearsals for his first national tour, one of the songs they had ready for encore duty was "Hammerdown" from "Free For All." As it worked out, they went with "River Deep, Mountain High" instead.
