Ted Nugent started “beating on my first guitar” around the age of five. Strongly influenced by Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly, he knew he wanted to pursue that type of sound and attitude. Early bands paved the way for the Amboy Dukes, and it was a feisty cover of the Dukes’ psychedelic Journey to the Center of the Mind that kicked Young Ted’s career into hyper drive.
The axe maniac broke out as a solo artist, signing with the legendary Epic Records, where the guitarist’s prodigious talent, ear shattering volume and over-the-top stage antics quickly earned him the moniker of Motor City Madman.
Cranking out hits like Cat Scratch Fever, Just What the Doctor Ordered, Free for All and the iconic Stranglehold, Nugent garnered international acclaim earned a permanent place in rock & roll history as the ultimate guitar-shredding showman, selling more than 40 million albums and performing over 6,900 high-octane live shows.
Ted Nugent has been named Detroit’s Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by readers of MLive.
