So Mr. King Gonzo, Wango Tango, Motor city Madman is back with a live
album in Detroit Rock City. That's just great old damn dynamite and
dynamic Rock'n'Roll. Ted Nugent is a living legend one of the
guitar heroes who has reached the American dream in the 60's, 70's and
80's, the times got a bit harder in the 90's. He was born in Detroit
Rock City in 1948 so coming back as opening act for Kiss with
Skid Row was maybe such a natural thing. What was maybe a wilder
thing was seeing him coming on stage riding a big buffalo (don't forget
the bill).
It is actually his third live album, the Double Live Gonzo!
and Intensities In 10 cities (1981) were the two first ones.
Full Bluntal Nugity was recorded on new year's eve 100% totally
live and no overdubs like it's written on the back cover and on the
sticker!!!!
But this time Ted Nugent (Ted Nugent, Damn Yankees) is coming
back with one of the best metal scene's rhythmic section taken from
Thin Lizzy: Tommy Aldridge (Pat Travers, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake,
Thin Lizzy and many others) and Marco Mendoza (Blue Murder, Thin
Lizzy, in other words a good friend from John Sykes). These two
guys were together on the One Night Only live album from Thin
Lizzy. The good job they did on this live is also to hear on Ted
Nugent's Full Buntal Nugity. The symbiosis is perfect.They
are playing good old rock'n'roll, rythm'n'blues, hard rock and acoustic.
There are old songs (Free For All was sung by the time by Meat
Loaf ) and recent ones.
The production is raw but it has the big American sound. A great live
performance from a great scream dream team...
