Ted Nugent Rocks Sweden - The Motor City
Madman Performs Live
Marek Adam Norvid - 7th June 2008
-
The 2006 Sweden Rock Festival was a three day gig included
such luminaries as Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Def Leppard,
The Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake and Ted
Nugent. 'Sweden Rocks' is the recording of
Ted Nugent's performance and has been released on both CD
and DVD.
Variously described as 'over-the-top,' 'energetic,' and simply
'crazy,' his live performance provides all of those elements
and then some.
For Sweden Rocks, Ted Nugent is back with typical energy - and
on this occasion, he's part of a three-piece also containing
drummer Mick Brown and bassist Barry Sparks (formerly with the
Michael Schenker Group).
This live disc is Ted Nugent at his enthusiastic best. When you
consider his energy, it is hard to believe he's been around for
almost forty years - it's been 33 years since his debut album,
imaginatively titled Ted Nugent.
Tracks like "Wango Tango" and "Free For All" are delivered with
equal gusto and he's always been a master of stage talk too -
although parental advisory is recommended at times!
Also included alongside his better known tracks is "Cat Scratch
Fever" from his recent studio album Love Grenade.
A quintessential American hard rocker, Ted Nugent has more
recently found that his 'other' pursuits have gathered as much
press as his music.
A self-proclaimed 'outdoorsman,' hunter, political activist and
spokesperson on behalf of The Second Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, there appears to be no subject upon which he is
not prepared to debate.
Despite this (and perhaps at times - it must be said - aided by
this), it is his particular style of guitar playing that has
grown a huge fanbase. And it's live where his trademark shotgun
style is most appreciated. Despite partial hearing loss due to
years of loud music, he still performs onstage like a man
possessed.
