7/4/2023 0 Comments Ted nugent heads will roll![]() ![]() I asked Cupid – I mean, Ted – what fans can expect from his shows this year. WAIT A MINUTE!!! Have you noticed that Cupid carries a bow and arrow just like Ted? Do you think that they’re one and the same person? Inquiring minds want to know. These are songs that you’ll want to serenade the love of your life when Valentine’s Day roles around next year. It appears my increased estrogen injections are hitting home.” ![]() You know, Wango Tango, Wang Dang Sweet Poontang, Love Grenade, Stranglehold, Cat Scratch Fever, Great White Buffalo, Raw Dogs & War Hogs, Dog Eat Dog, and my new tender beauties like Trample the Weak Hurdle the Dead and I Love My BBQ. “As I get older, I seem to appreciate good old fashioned lovesongs more and more. So, with that said, and the fact that the Nuge is an avid and accomplished hunter, if he says that he smells a master jam session coming on, I’m inclined to believe the boy so I’m not going to miss it!Īfter shaking myself back to reality, and placing my aforementioned tongue into one of my baggy cheeks, I comment about the “low profile” nature of the Trample the Weak and Hurdle the Dead tour. ![]() The night before his appearance at the festival will close with a huge All-Star Jam that will feature, among others, Neal Schon (Journey), Ty Tabor (Kings X), Boomerocity friend, Rick Derringer, Dokken’s George Lynch, PRS Guitar founder, Paul Reed Smith, Greg Martin (Kentucky Headhunters) and festival founder and mastermind, Jimmy Wallace. I’ve got to stop right here and tell you something that will put the comment Nugent just made into sharper focus. “I have wandered the floor and fondled many American vintage guitar masterpieces once years ago, but I am truly looking forward to attending again, especially with the inescapable master jam session that I smell coming on.” I started off by asking Ted if this was his first appearance at the Dallas International Guitar Festival. He really needs to learn to become more demonstrative (said tongue now firmly planted in the other cheek). It took me awhile to bring Ted out of his shy, reclusive shell (my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek as I write this) but he came around. Nugent was kind enough to take the time to answer a few questions for me recently. I wanted to chat with this rock and roll legend. Well, I wasn’t just going to sit and wait until Ted tries to find enough hair on my head to see how he’s going to part it on April 18th like he first did 31 years ago. He does so as he kicks off his Trample the Weak and Hurdle the Dead tour. Oh! In a special jam session, none other than Ted Nugent will be closing out the festival, performing his Great Gonzos in a Free For All, exposing the crowd to Full Bluntal Nugity (cute, huh?). Neal Schon, George Lynch and Rick Derringer, to name a few, will grace the stages of the festival. This year, there lots of guitar heroes making an appearance in some way, shape or form. Actually, it is just a little bit different. The festival is so much fun that, even when I lived in Northwest Arkansas for three and a half years, one of my three closest friends and I drove down to Dallas just for one day of this phenomenal experience. Well, even before I attend, I monitor its website in the months ahead in order to find out who is going to be performing during the three day extravaganza. The first blasting riffs from the Nuge’s Gibson Byrdland guitar pounded my eardrums to such an extent that it parted my then-long hair right down the middle.įast forwarding to the new millennium, one of the rights of spring I’ve developed in recent years is attending the Dallas International Guitar Festival. ![]() of A., I was first bulldozed by the Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent, when his monster album, Cat Scratch Fever, was first released back in 1977.
