he acclaimed hard rock/heavy metal talk show, hosted by Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine invites American rock legend Ted Nugent to take center stage with an in-depth interview discussing Ted’s influences, musical history, and how he avoided the usual pitfalls of the music industry all these years. This week’s musical guest is Surfer-Rock guitar riff master, Gary Hoey. The usual fan-favorite segments return in this week’s episode including the TMS Top 5 Ted Nugent songs, Put It On The Table, and a Stump The Trunk that has Eddie reeling from this week’s questions.

YIKES! Well Bif Byford was pretty cool eh! Seems like a cool guy to have a drink of wine with.
Just watched the Nuge on TMS, Best TMS EVER!
The energy was fantastic! Should’ve been a 2-hour episode.
So good to see Uncle Ted Nugent on the show Eddie! Ted is an honest, right wing conservative, (and that in itself pisses off the socialists and LIEberals) even if he doesn’t say a word. If you ha a guest on that was some LIEberal musician, strolling onto your set wearing a torn Che’ Guavara T-Shirt (probably a fashion statement, as opposed to a political one, because if they REALLY knew that Guavara was a communist, they might not ever wear that shirt again) nobody would say a thing. But I digress…
Ted Nugent wrote some of the best hard rock songs ever. His live performances are always passionate and 100% soul and sweat. You want to hear a guitar talk? Listen to the albums ‘Cat Scratch Fever’ and ‘Weekend Warriors’. Those two alone are brilliant. But there are so many great ones. Listen to the instrumental ‘Renegade’ on the ‘Call Of The Wild’ album. It’s one of the most ferocious ones you’ll ever hear, and it came out in 1974! It’s blistering!
Ted’s a legend. And there is no way on Earth that he’s ever getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Can you honestly see an ageing hippie on the panel of the induction committee marking an ‘X’ beside the name Ted Nugent? Not on your life! And you think it was hard for KISS to get in?!
Ahhh yes the political party of Ted Nugent and Ann Coulter. I think they call that party the “cerebral, open- minded, thinking man’s party”.
You’re correct. Good! You’re learning!
Ted hit the deck at Cobo Hall in Detroit in ’63…..guy has been there onstage since JFK was in office. RnR Hall for Ted? Wenner yields the power…he’s a flaming liberal. Not a chance. Che shirts are fashion….he and the Castro brothers were buds….and Havana is a nice place under their words.
I am liberal who loves Teddy’s music. Seem him at least 5 times over the years, great shows!
Keep a rockin !
