- What do you say when Ted Nugent wants to borrow your guitar? I'll tell ya! You let him know where and when and you brace yourself as you watch Ted & Shemane walk up to your front door!
In this video, Ted inflicts The ByrdmanSteve with some closeup guitar tips! Stranglehold and more are seen like never before from the lair of the Byrd's Nest. An arm-hair raising hour to say the least!
This was nearly a year ago in 2021 and believe it or not, as it turned out, Ted had the ChicomCooties during this visit as he announced days later. The man never delivers any less than 110% under any circumstance. Please watch at your own peril.
Thank you Ted & Shemane and of course my closest friends and family for one of the greatest hours on record! - Hudba
I have been a fan of Ted since the early 70's and watching him crawl all over his amp stacks playing papa's will from the front row was always something special. The early Amboy Dukes were really great hard rock Pioneers. God I am so glad I came of age back in the late 60's early 70's it was the greatest bands playing the greatest rock music and there will never be another era like it and never will there be anybody like Ted Nugent.
Me too Man !! Saw the Amboy Dukes twice during the Survival of the Fittest tour in ‘71 and it was unforgettable. There is no way anybody could follow that band.
Uncle Ted been a fan since the amboy dukes and still love him and what he stands for God ,family,and rock and roll
Amboy Dukes Rocked !!!! 1968, Journey to the Center of your Mind.. ThanX Ted!!!!
one of maybe 10 rock stars i'd actually want to sit and have a beer with. amazing man and guitarist.
TED IS THE BEST!! WHAT A GREAT GUITARIST & WHAT A GREAT AMERICAN!! A SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!! GREAT VIDEO!
The cliche all caps people return. Ted brings the winners...
My oldest Son's 21st birthday was August 14, 2007. We went to The Knitting Factory in Spokane Washington, and watched Ted Nugent play. GREAT birthday gift!
Long live uncle ted - a great patriot of Liberty, fame has not dulled his common sense for seeing things for what they are in this squirrely world of ours, glad to see hes doing well and still loves to play and fellowship.
That is too cool! You got to jam with the Motor City Madman! Thank you for sharing!
Still have my ticket stubs from concerts in the late 70’s from the Spectrum. Unbelievable with Derick St Holmes,Rob Grange and Cliff Davies. Still have the TNT program. Was a great time to see concerts. 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Dude you are living the middle finger Dream!! Congratulations!!
TY! It's crazy, what a ride it's been!
Stranglehold. I am amazed every time I hear that. It never gets old. I had so many of Ted Negents albums when I was in high school. I remember the song paralyzed. It is a short song but once he gets going if you listen he never stops jammin till the total last instant of the song even when he starts singing again. So many AWSOME songs I could go on about all of them. Anyway thanks for this video and thank you Ted Nugent you were and are the best rocker I know of. So many good memories looking at the album covers and listening to your music. To bad kids don’t get to do that now days. I feel like I got to know the bands So much better because of the album covers and the first thing I always did when I got a new album was listen to the whole album, follow along with the lyrics printed on the sleeve and all About the bands. I just don’t care about new music as much now. That’s probably why.
@@Ontharock There are many of us that share these great memories that's for sure! Thank you, very well stated too:)
@@ByrdmanSteve Sweaty Teddy, a true American icon!!! What an awesome video!! 🤘🤙
That's just incredible! Jamming with your guitar hero?! Wow!!
I got to jam with him at a local music store in 1974 when he was breaking out of the local Detroit scene with the Amboy Dukes to go national with Derek St. Holmes.
That is Bad Ass!!!
Wish we had a LOT MORE TED’s in our Country!
Saw Ted when he was fronting for Amboy Dukes and they rocked Journey to the Center of the Mind! Miami Pop Festival 12/28/68🎸
Very cool.
God bless Mr. Nugent.
Something that flies under many folks' radar is that Ted is also a killer bass player! He played the bass on quite a few tracks on some of his albums.
i saw Ted at Camp Udari in Kuwait in 2004. What a musician and person> Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Praise the lord for Ted …or put another way praise Ted for creating Ted !, my teenage guitar god inspiration 😎🙏🙋🏻♂️
Thank you Ted!
And Thank you Steve!
God Bless the Republic!!!
I love Uncle Ted. He was my very first concert (Scream Dream Tour) at 11 years old. I’ve had the privilege of meeting him a few times since and he’s always a great guy. So happy to see this happen for you!
Uncle Ted is a monster!! Seen him several times, never disappoints!!!
Ted is a master guitarist. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow so awesome to have the great Ted Nugent in your office, home.
Ted inspired me to play guitar in 1977. Double Live Gonzo changed my life forever. Weekend Warriors sealed my fate as a Nugent fan for life.
Love or hate his politics, he is the original “guitar hero”.
There is NO ONE LIKE TED!!!! I love the man- and the music. He is an American treasure. You were fortunate to enjoy his visit! Good stuff!👍👍🎼🎸🇺🇸❤️
I live in Michigan,,been a fan of Ted's even since I knew what Rock and Roll was. Been to so many of his concerts that I don't know how many. Met Ted once in a restaurant. He's such a good ol boy down to earth regular Joe. And yes he still plays as good as he always did.
Well Ted you give me goosebumps every time you play Rock on brother
Dang it man!! How friggin' cool is that!!!??? Love ya for sharing this epic day with Uncle Ted!! So much fun to watch!!
Thanks your appreciating it, cool as hell!!
@@ByrdmanSteve this is like when Buck Dharma played my rig in my living room and I was frozen into a time rip to when my mom handed me some tapes she bought at a flea market and Agents of fortune was one of them….flash forward 25 yrs and he was ripping his tunes thru my gear. It was just amazing.
@@j.reveille6815 Cool... so you get it!
@@ByrdmanSteve ,,~m~~
Very cool bro.
Big Nugent fan.
I’ve always liked the nuge!!! Grew up listening to his music, playing it. and going to his concerts!!!!!
He plays it a tad different almost every time. Up close n personal is best way to watch him. I used to get chewed out after watching Ted to long at the station his Bear Radio, it was a good reason to get up and go to work everyday!:PRS days. He's a great very mellow guy right now! Ted is a very happy person! Shemane Nugent change the Motor City Madman! Enjoy Steve I believe this is Ted at its finest!!
U got excuse....
Thanks for the great perspective. I just spoke with him yesterday after an amazing speaking event. He was intended for more than just guitar playing it would appear:)
Don’t go… don’t go … I said baby please don’t go down to New Orleans ya know I love ya so baby please don’t go. May be 30 or 40
Years later I remember all the lyrics on all his songs on all his albums. A living legend. So good he gets appreciated before he passes on. Keep goin man.
Lot of people talk s**t about Ted, but I really like him and his outlook on life. How cool that you guys got to jam with him, great memories.
I seen him open for Kids at the meadowlands in N. J at the time I believe in 97. It was Ted, and a bassist and drummer. FANTASTIC!!!! OMG He was so good the crowd was cheering for him when kiss was about to take the stage lol. Honestly the guy jammed his ass off and sounded absolutely fantastic 🤘🤘👍👍
That is absolutely awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 Love Ted
Ted is a AWESOME guy down to earth.
Dreams do come true . And he just played my all time favorite Nuge song !
Fantastic. I needed this today. Smiling 😀
Awesome been a Ted fan and I play, since 70s , seen him in prime' 1976 Pocono downs , and many there after ,
Awesome! Would have loved to have seen him in the 70s!
Awesome video, I seen Ted playing in concerts several times when I was a kid in Maryland. I remember when I first heard Ted back in the 60s with his fantastic soloing in Journey to the Center of the Mind.
Totally BAD To The Rockin Bone,You are so Extra Cool Now and You Feel It!Awesome that you met and got to jam with The Motor City Madman!Take care.Jcsx
hi from Nepal and Ted is a legend
That’s when you do a guitar build. I built my first guitar last year and it has become my favorite guitar over all my off the shelf guitars. Just an idea. Lucky man meeting uncle Ted.
All day, every day. Goose bumps! That is why we do it baby!
Off the charts cool 😎!!!!!
Love the Nuge
That is so awesome! Good for you!
Stumbled upon this, damn glad i did!. What an honor to have the Nugent as a friend. Keep that friendship tight...that Byrdland tighter! I'm a collector and 35 yr player. Good stuff.👅😁👍👍
I grew up on that stuff it’s great to see him having fun.
Seen him twice in my life. At Cal Jam 2 in 1978, and with Kiss in 2000. Uncle Ted rules!!!
What a dream come true! Neat video!
I believe it was the summer of 1977 Summer jam concert when I seen Ted Nugent one of the most awesomest bands ever lived I remember after him playing his last song he set his guitar right next to the wall and walked off stage and the guitar kept playing as people was leaving then were great memories I love you Uncle Ted
Just awesome !!!!!!!!
Mr Nugent is great live on stage at any age! I saw him when I was in high school! However, the thing I like most about him now is that he is a vocal believer in Christ Jesus! I am proud of him for his guitar prowess but prouder still in his sharing his belief in God. Rather rare in the rock ‘n’ roll world.
Congrats on your meeting with him. That must have been an extraordinary experience!
Thank you much.. I don't' know how old you are but would have loved to see him in the 70s. I founded Ted in the early 80s. He's a complete package... creatively, skillfully, spiritually and I'll say logically! His conservatism has only continues to tighten the bond for me. Thanks again for your comments-:)
I was 14-15 years old when my aunt took me to see him in Memphis, the Auditorium North Hall 76-77 maybe. Still have all my ticket stubs. I’m 59 now and happy I grew up in the 60’s-70’s no better music. I tell my kiddos, after I’m gone and you want me around, just play old 70’s music. I’ll be around.
Be blessed by being a blessing. You are.
Psalm 91:1
My dad was the drummer to a one hit wonder band of Memphis. The Hombres. “Let It All Hang Out.” My dad does the intro. No flashy drummer but solid. He died when I was 13. Still get a royalty check. Saw them at the Memphis Shell. Probably around 5-6 I over heard a girl say, (still see it in my mind until this day) Look at the drummer, he’s cute! Me: that’s my dad. Then all the attention came to me as she called her friends over. Good times, good memories.
@@lukev539 Make certain your kids know that you are excluding disco as part of the 70s ha ha! We are almost exactly the same age and I remember the cartoon strip “Doonesbury” having a series on session musicians. One day, a character based on “Skunk” Baxter, after looking over the same old drivel, disco sheet music in the studio says something like, “a charge by the eighth note, now, man! I mean, I’m putting a lotta notes out into the atmosphere…“ 🤣😁🎸👨🏼⚕️🎸
@@lukev539 BTW, great story! And great memories,too, I am certain!😊😄
Also, Psalm 91 is one of my very favourite psalms to read of late. In fact, I don’t know if you were “replying” to me, but my wife recently had a patient at her office tell her, “God wants you and your husband to know that Psalm 91 is for you two to read.“ (I Have a very long story which I will not club you with tonight, dating back to 2002 and Psalm 91: 14-16 answered my life in a powerful way. Someday if you want, I will tell you the story… Thank you for sharing.)
@@johndrowe5281 would love to hear it. I believe Psalm 91 is for everyone who believes. The Word is a miracle within its self. “In the beginning was the Word.” Have a blessed day!
That's beyond cool!!
What a great experience for you guys.
That picture is the best part.
Jamming with Uncle Ted…
It just doesn’t get much better than that!
Just...AWESOME!!!!!
Saw him twice in the Damn Yankees warming up for bad company LoL I've never seen so many people including me leave a concert early. I still remember them dragging him off stage still playing!!!!!!
I remember!!
Thank you Ted , for the Rock,.... I used to see you now and then at the Tonn's house in Traverse City.
Awsome video Byrdman!
And to Ted..Jimi would have appreciated that..
This is great, thank you for sharing.
Back in 1979 Ted was at Al Nali Music in Ann Arbor. I'd stopped in to pay on a lay-away and noticed the store was deserted, empty.
Everyone was outside watching Ted shoot his Bow into a bunch of guitar/amp shipping boxes. It was then the giant zebra stripped Bronco parked on the sidewalk all made sense, I was 17 years old at the time.
While looking around for someone to take my money I noticed a Twin Reverb with the tolex stripped off and a Gibson case on the floor with the letters "T N' stenciled on the side.
I opened the case and strummed an "E", "A" and "G" chord on his Byrdland. I was actually going to plug it into the Twin Reverb when I noticed numerous teeth mark impressions in the wood of the amplifier's enclosure. That is when I packed everything up and left it just as I'd found it.
I got out of there so quick that I didn't even pay on my lay-away!
Cool! I got to jam with Ted way back when I was 17 (I'm 65 now) at Anderson's Music store in Plymouth, Mi. around the time then he was transitioning from the Detroit area Amboy Dukes to break out nationally with Derek St. Holmes. He was doing a meet and greet and playing some guitar with the locals. I was one of the lucky ones who got to play with him. He asked what do you want to play, I said how about "Papa's Will", which was one of his songs with the Amboy Dukes that I had learned the solo note for note. I nailed the solo along with him, a little bit wobbly because I was nervous and excited. When we were done he said "the man knows his licks", and I was on cloud nine, lol! A few more guys got to jam and when it was over I talked to him for a few minutes, and he was very cool to talk to, high energy and intelligent but treated you like a brother. I walked out of there with an autographed photo that said, "To guitar Don, Ted Nugent"!
What a cool story! You have a few years on me but I have craved a time ma. just so I could go back and see those days. He still plays Papa's Will, heard him do it in Tx a few years ago at a booth at the guitar festival. Thanks for sharing!!
Cool!!! Thanks for sharing
Awesomeness!!!! 💥💥💥👍🇺🇲👍😎
Uncle Teddy was swept into your domain. You must put it on the National Historical and Bombastic Registry!
I would love to see Ted ( hear) play a concert now playing his songs from the 70s. That's just one of the awesome thoughts that run through my mind after watching your video thanks for sharing this with us.
OMG.. the bass version of Stranglehold is AWESOME!
Love the Pinball Machine! Weekend Warriors edition. That was my first of many albums of Uncle Ted! I also Loved the before and Now pic, real Cool!!!
That is soooo Awesome.... pretty cool..
Man! How fortunate you all are. I spent my life in the Army then got injured. At 48, 13 years ago, I became stranded, stuck sitting in my living room chair 24/7 eating and sleeping right here in this effin chair. 61 years old but still with a 25 year old thoughts and desires but ended up selling everything I owned that used to bring me joy and happiness. My car, motorcycle, golf clubs, hunting, fishing and camping gear because I can't use them. Then I see y'all having so much fun and enjoyment and all I can do is cry desperate for some kind of relief. I'm living 300 miles from my hometown where all my friends live but can't do a darn thing about it because I live alone and have nobody in my life. Even my guitar is busted but can't muster up the will to get it fixed or just buy another one.
You guys look so happy. I really envy the bond you guys can share. When you guys all laughed at the end of that jam session it really hit me hard. I used to do the same thing back before being disabled.
Sounds like you sure got a bad deal.. I'm sorry to hear. Keep in mind, this isn't every day life for us, but it was a precious hour I'm truly grateful for. As Ted would tell you, Godspeed...
I know the feeling pal hang on better days ahead but up got to pull your boot straps up and stand up and look in the mirror every day and say I can do anything I set my mind to walk in nature meditation eat healthy seek out friendship lots of soul searching I'm still there at age 60 what is the true meaning of life
This gets the best upload of the year award, Thanks for sharing.
Weekend Warrior release still one of my all-time favourites. Awesome guitar work on that.
Lucky man, I was in a club in Houston where stevia ray vaughn was playing upstairs blowin the house down. I could hear him succinctly, I looked around and saw a bar piano empty. So I go to the piano I don’t know squat but I start jamming in c major (all the white keys) the piano max volume mixed perfectly with the upstairs volume. I played a few songs, really banging it out, turn around and look behind me there’s a hundred people standing behind me clapping and stuff, i said go ahead pointing to the piano. 20-30 -people got to jam with stevia, he never knew it, but it’s a memory we will never forget…it was awesome!
Very cool story, thanks!
That is so fantastic!
Ted stopped by and we played some tunes. Just a normal day. Ha. Good fun!
That’s Awesome! It’s always a good day to buy another guitar!!
It’s amazing when a lengedary rock star comes and plays with us. Rick Derringer came and played with Me.
Outstanding!
I LOVE this!!! Amazing. Livin the dream Ted style.
Sure has been, Thank you!
That's so cool. Fantastic....
Ted is a fantastic player!
Met him at his bow hunting store in Jackson mi back in 1999. He was awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Now that's rock and roll at it's best!
Killer vibe and killer time!
Hell yes.. TY!
"That's Epic Ted is still the man,rock on"
I did not catch on to Ted Nugent until his first live album came out, I was 14 years old and it was a guitar sound that I never here before, I have been a Ted fan ever since. Saw him about 10 times and he never disappoints, he attacks that Birdland from the second he comes out till the last song. The best Ted show I got to see was when he wormed up for Aerosmith and I believe it was the Permanent Vacation tour. Me and a buddy had seats in the 14th row at MSG and before Ted's first song we snuck down to first row dead center, we always got as close as we could for a show, long story longer we stayed there until about Aerosmith's 3rd song and some people came and we had to go back to our 14th row seats, but I did not care I got to see Ted's whole set front row dead center !
I saw him on the same tour in STL at the original Kiel Auditorium. See my above comment 👆👆 Aerosmith was cool too but we were there to see NUGENT!! And you were Front Row! Cool as hell!
@@dkwoodsy2082 Yes, Aerosmith was great that night but was definitely there for Ted, we had our arms on the stage and it was cool to see Aerosmith that close for three songs, great times 🤘
Best day ever! Motor city madman!
WOW! That was just the coolest thing!! Love, love, love the Ted demo spotlight and also the brief jam session...everyone just getting lost in it! Thank you for sharing this great and inspiring experience! Gracias hombre!
Amazing thank you for sharing!!!
Uncle Ted playing bass....awesome.
Damn that bass sounded great, I was shocked that he played bass as well, I have Free For All and Weekend Warriors on vinyl, I did look at the liner notes, and I might've seen that he did play bass in there, but it might've gone over my head at the time.
That Byrdland resonates forever! He's barely picking it! Its probably the first time I've seen Ted play a bass too
How cool is that? Very powerful to bend some strings with Uncle Ted!
A dream come true. I could only imagine
Absolutely! Thank you:)
Simply awesome
This was so great to see Thanks so much for sharing this with me it made my day 💓🤠👍🙏🙌😇
Uncle Ted the legend!
what a great video cast. Ted and you made me feel it too. what great day that was ByrdmanSteve i was thrilled for you....THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.
I thank you and so many others for enjoying this moment I had. I was special beyond words for me and even more so that I've been able to share it with so many that understand-:)
When I saw Ted play back in 2006, I was astounded at how good he was. Ted IS NOT over-rated--he's that damn good. Although he doesn't seem to shred much in the neoclassical style, I don't think I've ever seen anyone shred hard rock blues licks better than him, and with total ownership, conviction, and feel.
I see Nugent as the ultimate progression of Chuck Berry. I think he would appreciate that.
Ted Nugent Still rocking! 🎸
dude ! you are the ultimate nugent fan !! rock on !!!
I just want to say thank you for all the overwhelmingly positive, patriotic and loving comments!!! What a time it was and being able to share it with so many that can appreciate it, just keeps it going for me! The small number of negative and usually vulgar comments, well I'd say tells us all you need to know about those folks. May we Rock On!!
😊Would've liked to be there!
He killed it
The Man is Dangerous !
To see Uncle Ted's hair stand up on his arms when playing Stranglehold, after God knows how many times, is reafirming to me.
OMG! It just doesn't get any better does it? That guitar now has some extra special mojo .. damn that must have been so cool!
It don't! Definitely some defiant good on these guitars-:)
It does
