I thought the show was fun! Yeah Ted is out there, but as a pure guitarist, he ranks right up there. I loved his lineup of his best albums (a hidden gem is “Spirit of the Wild” – fantastic album). Would love to see him as a guest guitarist (probably too small of a role though). BTW, Uncle Ted, never get rid of Derek St. Holmes, he totally makes your band great!
Hey, I just find it refreshing to see a level headed guitarist who does not sleep in his parent’s basement and actually has a personality and is not a primadona. And he can play….and hunt….and can speak intelligently. The icing on the cake is he has conservative leanings….Hell, he’s not perfect…but he is damn close. Love ya Uncle Ted.
Yea. Deep down you know ya love him. Oh, and he’s right!!
Right about what Scott?
NUGENT RULES GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so sorry. I omitted an f from Biff Byford. The guy is really great. He is an all-time metal vocalist and wrote some great songs. SAXON can do epic songs and shorter anthems as well as anybody.
Now I see where David Lee Roth got his persona…not sure which one is more mind numbing. However, at least Ted can play the guitar like a motherfuk’r
