Multi-platinum guitar icon Ted Nugent rocked the house this past weekend (8/17) with a bombastic set in Midland, Texas, wrapping up his summer SHUTUP&JAM! Tour, named after his latest full-length album SHUTUP&JAM! on Frontiers Records.
Nugent was in top form for the sold-out gig, benefiting the Show of Support Memorial for our troops.
“Show of Support was honored to have Ted and his band help us kick off our campaign to construct a memorial to honor those who have fought in this Global War on Terror and also to memorialize the four heroes we lost on 11-15-12,” stated show organizer Terry Johnson. “Ted brought a message of support for all who serve, and a call out to everyone in our sold out, packed audience to stand up for America.”
Throughout the summer, Nugent’s 35-date SHUTUP&JAM! tour has garnered glowing reviews for live performances at venues across the country and on July 19in Detroit, Nugent performed his 6,500th gig.
Nugent’s album, SHUTUP&JAM! marks the first all-new studio album from the Motor City Madman in seven years. The album features an epic lead vocal duet between Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sammy Hagar for the lead single She’s Gone, which peaked at #2 on “Classic Rock” radio chart.
SHUTUP&JAM! is available on Amazon and iTunes. In the U.S., fans can pick up a special edition of SHUTUP&JAM!–featuring the exclusive bonus track Johnny B. Goode Forever–only at Best Buy.

Uh oh, Ted’s off tour now. All you defenseless animals, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
I saw Ted this summer and he was awesome! Animals, they got rights, next to my mashed potatoes baby!
Yum, Frank! Let’s all get together and eat some!
propaganda Nugent Style. Notice they didn’t mention the dates cancelled due to his big mouth. Oh yea and his new album sucks. Free For All or Weekend Warrior….now THATS Nugent!!
Even when Uncle Ted does something good, like for the troops, he still gets slammed for it. Wonder who’s the most hated man in Rock ‘N’ Roll today, Ted Nugent, or Gene Simmons, for different reasons of course, I’d say it’s neck & neck! Well, everything else aside, I still love their music, most of it! 🙂
BTW, I know at least a dozen people in their 40’s, who absolutely love Ted Nugent’s music, 40’s, not 60’s! “Shut Up & Jam” not included, even I’ll pass on that one. 😉
Can we make sure?
I heard it was at a Waffle House with 8 drunk over – 60 somethings.
