| A little late to the party here, but myself I always thought that 'Tied Up In Love' was a great tune..... I know we're not discussing that album at this point, but even tho it didn't fit the classic Nugent sound he blows lead all over that song..... Loved it.... Never been a huge Nuge fan and I don't own any of his stuff, but I've appreciated the man and his music. I saw him in 87 I think. Armored Saint opened, they were great..... But Nugent was hilarious and just blew the place apart!  |

|  Ted Nugent - Love Grenade (Eagle Records) 2007 1. "Love Grenade" (5:03) 2. "Still Raising Hell" (3:21) 3. "FUNK U" (4:00) 4. "GirlScout Cookies" (3:56) 5. "Journey to the Center of the Mind" (4:03) 6. "Geronimo & Me" (4:51) 7. "EagleBrother" [instrumental] (4:44) 8. "Spirit of the Buffalo" (7:29) 9. "Aborigini" (3:22) 10. "Stand" (2:43) 11. "Broadside" (3:36) 12. "Bridge Over Troubled Daughters" (3:36) 13. "Lay With Me" (6:23) Love him or hate him, Nugent is one who will always get a reaction. He refuses to back down from who he is, what he does and what he believes. Take a gander at the album title, the titles of these songs or the lyrics themselves. It's rock and roll baby, and it's suppose to be fun. Indeed! However, Nugent is sure to cause some waves with this release in a politically correct world. Ted's first studio album in 5 years, "Love Grenade" is exactly what I hoped for from the Motor City Madman. The album opens up with the first single from the album, the bombastic title track. This is prime Ted in my ever so biased opinion. "Still Raising Hell" and "FUNK U" continue the fast paced, rock and roll assault to the ears. All three songs are built around that full bluntal, signature Gibson guitar tone. "Girl Scout Cookies" is a novelty Nug track, not unlike "Terminus Eldorado" or "My Baby Likes Her Butter on Her Gritz". There is some sexual innuendo buried in these lyrics, but on the surface the song is literally an ode to Girl Scout Cookies. "Journey to the Center of the Mind" is an updated, hard rockin' celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Amboy Dukes classic hit song. This version sounds much like the version that Sweaty Teddy's been performing in concert on the last few tours. "Geronimo & Me" is Ted screaming loud and proud about liberty, freedom and making a stand for what you believe. In the song Ted references some of the lyrics from "Great White Buffalo". "EagleBrother" is a melodic instrumental that flows out of "Geronemo & Me" and acts as a lengthy, atmospheric outro. "Spirit of the Buffalo" is a laid back celebration of the outdoors. This is probably the weakest song on the disc as it doesn't really do much. "Aborigini" is full thottle, rock 'n' roll, celebration of freedom in America. "Stand" is a yet another Motor City Madman rocker and continues in the same lyrical direction as "Kiss My Ass" with a big old finger in the air to big government and those who oppose freedom. "Bridge Over Troubled Daughters" is a Wackmaster, boogie rocker. The album finishes off with a heavy, slow blues number that features Ted's former Damn Yankees band mate Jack Blades on bass. Also along for the hunt is bassist Barry Sparks and drummer Tommy Clufetos. "From the Motor City Funk University", Ted is still "alive and well, still raisin' hell". CDs that were pre-ordered from Ted came with and additional cover art which feautred the a nude woman on a platter. There is a promotional video clip for "Love Grenade" but I couldn't find it on YouTube to post it, so I posted a live version instead.

| Ted Nugent - Sweden Rocks (Eagle Rock) 2008 1. "Stormtroopin'" (3:39) 2. "Wango Tango" (5:50) 3. "Snakeskin Cowboys" (6:14) 4. "Free for All" (3:55) 5. "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" (8:15) 6. "Raw Dogs & War Hogs" (3:53) 7. "Soul Man" (1:22) 8. "Hey Baby" (4:29) 9. "Dog Eat Dog" (4:30) 10. "Still Raising Hell" (3:20) 11. "Cat Scratch Fever" (4:37) 12. "Stranglehold" (9:55) 13. "Great White Buffalo" (8:26) What can I say, if anyone hasn't yet figured out that I am a Nugent fanatic by the time you get this far down on this discussion, you probably can't read. I can't get enough of Nugent live. I've seen Nugent live multiple times and have never been let down. Ted is all about the stage. His stage persona is loud, animated, abrasive and obnoxious. After nearly 40 years of recording and performing live, the Motor City Madman may not be swinging from ropes and wearing loin cloths anymore but the man is still a force to be reckoned with on the stage. Even if anyone doesn't like Nugent's music, or his outspoken views on life, no one can deny that the man has passion. Recorded live at the Sweden Rock Festival on June 10, 2006, "Sweden Rocks" is Nugent's second official live CD since "Full Bluntal Nugity" in 2001, or the "Full Bluntal Nugity" live DVD is 2003. Along for the ride with 'ol Uncle Teddy is Barry Sparks on bass and Mick Brown on drums, or as Ted so affectionately refers to them, "the Funk Brothers". The set list mostly includes the standards most would expect from Ted, but adds in a preview of a song that will appear on "Love Grenade" titled "Still Raising Hell". As well, "Raw Dogs & War Hogs" appears for the first time on a Nugent live album. This particular song has pretty much been in Nugent's set list since Craveman was released in '02 and is Nugent's salute to the U.S. military. "Sweden Rocks" isn't going to topple "Double Live Gonzo" as everyone's favorite Nugent live album. I also personally think that "Full Bluntal Nugity" is slightly more enjoyable. However, for those like myself who can't get enough of the Motor City Madman's guitar slinging, "Sweden Rocks" satisfies quite nicely. The CD was released 5/13/08, a DVD was released on 6/10/08. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| I bought "love grenade" at WallyWorld for decent cash and put it on a shelf for a few months before listening. I like the humor, attitude, and style of the whole album. I was surprised.
Good job on the discography Mr Waters. Have had the DVD (Sweeden Rocks) in my hand a few times and never purchased. I will one day. _________________  |

To be honest, if you have to decide between Sweden Rocks, Motor City Mayhem and Full Bluntal Nugity, go with Full Bluntal or Motor City Mayhem. Sweden Rocks is good, but the others are better IMO. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| Ted Nugent – Motor City Mayhem (Eagle) 2009 DISC ONE 1. “Ted Nugent Intro” (:57) 2. “Star Spangled Banner” (2:33 ) 3. “Motor City Madhouse” (5:17) 4. “Wango Tango” (7:53) 5. “Free For All” (4:28) 6. “Stormtroopin' ” (3:26) 7. “Dog Eat Dog” (4:13) 8. “Need You Bad” (4:20) 9. “Weekend Warrior” (3:22) 10. “Love Grenade” (4:20) 11. “Honky Tonk” [instrumental] (2:17) DISC TWO 1. “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” (5:34) 2. “Bo Diddley/Lay With Me” (6:08) 3. “Baby Please Don't Go” (4:01) 4. “Geronimo And Me” (2:47) 5. “Jenny Take A Ride” (3:45) 6. “Soul Man” (1:30) 7. “Hey Baby” (4:30) 8. “Cat Scratch Fever” (4:30) 9. “Stranglehold” (10:43) 10. “Great White Buffalo” (9:43) 11. “Fred Bear” (10:00) 12. “Outro” (:59) Second live album/DVD in a row from old Uncle Ted, and this Nugent fanatic couldn’t be happier. Nugent is his best when he is on the stage. He’s loud, obnoxious, brash, bombastic, hyper, opinionated, and downright entertaining. Besides all that he can play a mean guitar as well. This particular concert was recorded and filmed in front of 20,000 screaming fans in Nugent’s hometown of Detroit. The show celebrated Nugent’s 6,000th concert performance. The production here is quite good, capturing the raw, live energy coming from the stage, yet each and every instrument is clearly heard. I actually think the production on this release is better than on last year’s “Sweden Rocks” CD. Ted and his band sound fantastic. For a man in the 60’s, Nugent puts to shame many artists that are 40 years younger than him. The tracks chosen for this special Independence Day celebration don’t offer a huge variety from the norm, although there are a few surprises. The live version of the underrated “Love Grenade” is quite nice. Why this song wasn’t being played on every rock station across the country is a mystery. “Honkey Tonk” is a short bluesy instrumental allowing Ted to trade off leads with his former guitar teacher Joe Podorsik. It was very cool to hear the return of “Baby Please Don’t Go”, a song Ted originally recorded with the Amboy Dukes, but was immortalized on the classic “Double Live Gonzo”. The version here is made into a medley with “Geronimo And Me” being sandwiched in the middle of the song. “Weekend Warriors” is another classic resurrected on this live release. “Jenny Take A Ride” is a cover of Detroit’s Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and features drummer Johnny Bee and a firey guitar solo by Nug. On again, off again vocalist guitarist Derek St. Holmes is brought on stage to sing and play rhythm guitar on “Hey Baby” and “Stranglehold”. Having seen and met Ted Nugent on this tour with Greg Smith on bass and Mick Brown on drums, this CD is an excellent reminder of a killer tour.

| Watched that "Sweeden Rocks" DVD via netflix last night and it was good and bad at the same time. The band was pretty tight and had good dynamics considering my "usual" exposure to live Nugent has the second guitar. The bad was Ted's trying to hard to be Ted in his stage bantor and an overuse of the F bomb. Still gonna scope out Full Bluntal Nugity and Motor City Mayhem _________________  |

| Damn Yankees - Extended Versions (Sony) 2008 1. Damn Yankees 2. Uprising 3. High Enough 4. Don't Tread On Me 5. Where You Goin' Now 6. Fifteen Minutes Of Fame 7. Come Again 8. Coming Of Age 9. Renegade 10. Cat Scratch Fever 11. Rock In America As part of the Sony budget "Extended Versions" series, the Damn Yankees CD is a repackaging of the "Uprising Live!" DVD. Since the DVD was never released on CD, it's nice to finally have an officially released live CD from the band, even if the packaging is beyond cheap. The single-sided booklet offers little information other than it is "Recorded Live". The show was actually recorded in Denver, Colorado in 1992 at the Rocky Mountain Jam. The Yanks were in top form at this point. The vocals and harmonies are nearly flawless, despite the live setting. The set list includes most of the essentials from the two Damn Yankees albums. The first two tracks are fire-y in this live setting. Without the studio sheen, the songs come off a bit heavier. "High Enough" was the band's big hit at the time and is a powerful, melodic ballad. Ted Nugent's guitar fury can felt much on this live setting. The recording really manages to capture that live energy that cannot usually be duplicated in a studio. Unfortunately the recording is censored, so some of Ted's colorful banter in between songs is slurred ridiculously. Frankly, I would have rather they just remove the talking rather than distort it like they did. The set is finished off with one song each from the three of the members former bands, Renegade (Styx), Cat Scratch Fever (Nugent), and Rock In America (Night Ranger). While most of the "Extended Versions" CDs are worthless repackagings of other live albums there are a few like this CD that are welcomed. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!

| I have a DVD Rip of Live Uprising - indeed, it is an EXCELLENT concert! I also saw it on TV recently. Amazing show and makes me wish I could have seen the Yankees live.
I love that Renegade, Cat Scratch Fever and (you can still) Rock In America are included. EXCELLENT versions of all three songs!!!!! As I said before, one of the very few examples of a "Supergroup" working. |
