Multi-platinum guitar icon Ted Nugent will release Ultralive Ballisticrock–a new 2 CD+DVD release available in three formats (2CD+DVD deluxe edition digipak, DVD/Blu-Ray and digital download)–on October 22nd on Frontiers Records. The live footage was captured and recorded by 7 cameras in 5.1 audio mix on the “I Still Believe Tour” at Penn’s Peak on August 14th, 2011.
The lineup on the album consists of the legendary-and-still-raging Nugent on guitar and vocals, Derek St. Holmes (rhythm guitarist and the voice on Stranglehold) on guitar and vocals, Greg Smith (Rainbow) on bass and Mick Brown (Dokken) on drums. The set-list is killer (see below), packed with the songs that forever changed the face of rock, and the performances are razor sharp and electrifying, adding up to a sonic and visual extravaganza that’s not to be missed.
Says Nugent, “To be surrounded by such world-class passionate virtuosos is every musician’s dream and I live it every song, every concert, every night, every lick, every tsunami of soul sweat. You dogs deserve me!”

I don’t think Ted’s racist. People didn’t like his opinions on the Trayvon Martin case.
I’d put “Double Live Gonzo” against any 2 rekkid set. Ted’s catalog is impressive as hell and he’s as influential as heck too. His live set at California Jam II was incredible. Wicked guitar. My favorite Van Halen riff is “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” – if that isn’t influenced heavily by Ted, I don’t know what is.
I own all of his music up to this point. I’ve listened to his political rants at shows. All I can say is “Just shut up already and play your guitar!”
Too bad “Kiss My Ass” won’t be on it!
