Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
Ted Nugent's self-titled 1975 debut solo release is a bold expression of gonzo guitarist's sound, image, and abundant attitude. Ted had what was essentially a touring band with Amboy Dukes bassist Rob Grange, fellow Michiganite Derek St. Holmes on vocals and guitar, and Cliff Davies on drums. During days off from the mega-road trip that preceded this album, the group recorded its first record. Co-produced by famed hard-rock/metal helmsman Tom Werman, "Stranglehold" has the impromptu jamming feel of a live show.
Like "Deuce" for Kiss, the first track of a first album can define an act. "Stranglehold" leads straight into the no-holds-barred "Stormtroopin'," where the riffs are non-stop. The boogieish "Hey Baby" shows why St. Holmes was an underrated, soulful hard-rock vocalist. He howls "got me an overdose of rock & roll" on "Just What the Doctor Ordered." A wicked metal lick introduces "Snakeskin Cowboys." Ted picks his mammoth Gibson Birdland to death on "Motor City Madhouse." He switches gears on the bluesy shuffle of "You Make Me Feel Right at Home." The bonus live tracks of "Stormtroopin'," "Just What the Doctor Ordered," and especially "Motor City Madhouse" show why any rock & roll fan should witness a Ted Nugent show.

No lead Ted! If you want to hear a Gibson punished the way it is meant to be, then this album is for you. I've worn out many old tapes with the replaying of 'Stranglehold", 'Motor City Madhouse' and 'Queen of the Forest'! The words, Ted's maniacal guitar playing, and the drums puts me in the mood the second I hear that Gibson wake up! This album is still the pinnacle of the Nuge's Detroit days!

Ted's Solo Career Starts With A Bang Ted Nugent's solo career started with a bang on his self-titled debut album. Blending the influences of Led Zeppelin, Mountain, The Stones, Grand Funk Railroad, Mitch Ryder, The Allman Brothers Band, Chuck Berry, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Free, and Humble Pie, among others, the Motor City Madman created a style all his own. This album, the followups to 1982, and his work from 1995 on are a testament to the creative benefits of sobriety. Submitted by Adam (Suffern NY USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
This Is Right Before It Hit The Fan What a statement by an emerging atrist who would not be denied! Takes all kinds of balls to open an album with a long slow blues number ("Stranglehold"). Marred only slightly by Tom Werman's thin production (no bottom end; damn shame since Rob Grange was a fine bass player)and one inexplicable track ("You Make Me Feel Right At Home"), this is as in-your-face as a solo debut should be. Highlights: "Stranglehold", "Hey Baby", "Just What The Doctor Ordered", and the neck-snapping "Motor City Madhouse" (the guitar solo that closes "Madhouse" is my all-time favorite Nugent solo; it sounds like a truckload of bowling balls rolling down the stairs of the Empire State building, and that's a good thing).

| | Rainbow Rising CD (1976) Remastered
Ted Nugent CD music
$7.29 As the drums kick into the fierce opener "Tarot Woman," it's obvious that RISING delivers directly to your door. It is the band's second release, and a vast improvement over RICHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW. With a revamped lineup that sounds like it had been touring together for years, the album takes no prisoners. "Starstruck" is a classic groove reminiscent of guitarist Blackmore's ex-band Deep Purple. Blackmore replaced everyone from the first album's lineup except vocalist Ronnie Dio with Jimmy Bain (bass), Tony Carey (keyboards), and Cozy Powell (drums). Dio shows what he's got with a stellar performance ...
| | Wishbone Ash Argus CD (1972) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Expanded Edition
Ted Nugent music CDs
$6.49 On its third album, Wishbone Ash doesn't mess with its formula--as before, this long running British rock institution purveys a mix of blues, folk, and Yes- style riffs mated to endearingly cosmic lyrics. The songs here, however, are considerably more focused and well crafted than on the band's previous efforts, and the harmony singing is ...
| | Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are? CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Ted Nugent songs
$10.45 After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE? Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation.
The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out on such songs as "Mary Long" and "Place in Line," this album also spotlights how far Jon Lord's contributions on organ went toward defining the band's sound. Lord's mastery was such that in addition to the impressive solos on "Place in Line," his sweeping runs are the highlight of the stop-and-go "Rat Bat Blue." On this roller coaster ride of an album, the members of Deep Purple come together best on "Our Lady," a five-minute-plus epic driven by Lord's churning organ and Ian Gillan's Wagnerian vocals.
Deep Purple had kicked off the '70s with a new lineup and a string of brilliant albums that quickly established them (along with fellow British giants Led Zeppelin ...
| | AC Highway To Hell CD (1979) Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Ted Nugent album
$9.59 This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser.
It will always be a mystery how a grown man can spend his life wearing a school tie and short pants and receive adulation from the heavy metal fraternity. HM followers do not tolerate a cissy, yet the hugely talented Angus Young has become something of a hero. His riff-laden fills, combined with the tough vocals of the late Bon Scott, made AC/DC one of the genre's all-time leading lights. Bordering on the lighter side of metal, songs such as 'Love Hungry Man', 'Touch Too Much' and the title track will always delight.
All tracks have been digitally ...
| | Ted Nugent Cat Scratch Fever CD (1977) Remastered
Ted Nugent CD music
$7.59 Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
Though he had already established himself as a successful touring and recording artist in the mid-'70s, His Gonzoness became a certified superstar with 1977's CAT SCRATCH FEVER. Led by the smash title track and other testosterone-fueled anthems, the record went down as a shining moment in heavy metal history.
"Satisfaction," "Smoke on the Water," and "Cat Scratch Fever" are just three of this album's many gems. The title track features Bad Company's Boz Burrell ...

| | Cannibal Corpse Gore Obsessed CD (2002)
Ted Nugent songs
$9.79 Cannibal Corpse have received a lot of attention and controversy over the years for their song titles alone. But aside from all the over-the-top gross outs of the band's lyrics, the music is really worth checking out. Their relentless combination of neck-snapping death metal beats, sinister detuned guitar riffs, and Cookie Monster vocals is harrowing and fun at the same time, and the execution is better than that of most similar bands. Most impressively, the album remains interesting ...
| | Firebird No. 3 CD (2004)
Ted Nugent album
$13.89 In a career which, at least thus far, has hardly been worthy of great distinction within retro-rock circles, the horrendous, kindergarten-level drawing gracing Firebird's third album -- 2003's imaginatively titled No. 3 -- certainly doesn't bode well for potential improvements. But, surprisingly, improvements are indeed the order of the day for guitarist Bill Steer's post-Carcass enterprise come this lucky album number three. Perhaps it was the arrival of what one hopes will be a permanent rhythm section (bassist Roger Nilsson and drummer George Atlagic stepping in for Leo Smee and Ludwig Witt -- on loan from Cathedral and Spiritual Beggars, respectively); perhaps it was the right time, but, whatever the case, No. 3 boasts numerous tracks ("Cross the Line," "Stoned Believer," "Dream Ride") of comparatively tougher swagger and sharper attack than most anything heard on its ignominious predecessors. More laid-back numbers such "Tumbling Down," "Station" and "Long Gone" offer even wider landscapes for Steer to flex his ever-expanding vocal and guitar-playing range; their occasional piano and organ parts suggesting The Black Crowes' southern-rock-by-way-of-The Faces feel far more than, say, Fu Manchu's groove-intensive stoner metal. Sure, with their abiding sense of lazy, stoned out bliss, these songs may still leave longtime fans of this Napalm Death alum clamoring for a sign -- any clue -- of the smoldering aggression surely bubbling just beneath the surface. But then, aggressive music is probably the least of Steer's concerns at this stage of the game, and who can blame him? The man has ...
| | Mudvayne Lost And Found CD (2005)
Ted Nugent CD music
$8.99 Drummer Matt McDonough and bassist Ryan Martinie play as if they are the same person, tossing off impossibly complex lock-step riffs ("Determined," "Just") like most bands hit an open E chord. On "Happy?" and "Fall into Sleep," singer Chad Gray moves from a throat-shredding rasp to sweet melodicism at the drop of a hat, taking angst-filled lyrics to ...

$17.59 | | Ranking Dread In Dub CD (2004)
Ted Nugent music CDs
$12.65 I man don't want to watch no TV, I man wanna listen to a Dub LP! So says Ranking Dread on his debut dub album.Originally released in 1982 this Dub LP has gained cult status due in part to the fantastic cover art of Rod Vass.To some this is THE DUB album by which all others should be measured. It's hard for us to be objective about that statement but when you hear the incredible mixes from King Tubby I am sure that you will have to think about it too.King Tubby takes ridims laid by Sly and Robbie and injects them with a power that screams "this is a Tubbys mix" . The masterful use of echo and reverb that goes to the outer edge of dub yet never loses control. Check out the stellar mix of Bob Marleys "I Don't Want To Wait In Vain". There were five tracks to a side on the original LP and the reissue LP is an exact copy of the original with King Tubby and Sly & Robbie on the A side with apprentice Scientist and Roots Radics doing the honors on side B .Scientist flexes his muscles on Side B (LP) track 6 on the CD with an absolutely incredible show of echo control on the opening drum sequence, this track I play over and over. Each track showing that the Master had passed on his skills to his protégé and apprentice, then you get to one of the gems, ...
