Ted Nugent calls his omission from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame "sacrilege"

[True Dough]

Eligible since 2000, the hard rocker proceeded to rant by quoting himself in the third person. “Abandon egos, bragging and Ted Nugent speaking on behalf of Ted Nugent – is it or is it not vulgar, dishonest, and obscene that Grandmaster Flash, Patti Smith and ABBA are in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but Ted fucking Nugent isn’t?” he said in utter disbelief. “Is that the most outrageous and disgusting lie you have ever seen?”

<snip>

“Would like you to find a human being … and believe them when they say Ted Nugent should not be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? I would love to witness that exchange. You would see a person almost melt with guilt because you know they are lying. At the end of the day, it’s not about me – it’s about the music. James Hetfield said it best when Metallica was inducted: ‘Ted Nugent not being in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Ted Nugent is rock and roll’.”

Can we get some support for Mr. Cat Scratch Fever himself here, DU???

Nah, I didn't think so.

David Crosby, what are your feelings about Ted Nugent?

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. Ok. Place his nameplate in a urinal.

That's still better than what he deserves.

[Initech]

96. Well, just like Trump, I hear he does enjoy that sort of thing!

[spanone]

2. Mr. Crosby said exactly what I was thinking.

[ADX]

3. Fuck Ted Nugent and fuck James Hetfield, too...

...If Hetfield felt so strongly about Nugent's exclusion, he could have refused induction until Nugent was voted in...

[sdfernando]

4. A very basic rule I go by in music is...

if you have to toot your own horn about how good you are, then you aren't that good.

...and that goes double if you are trying to get some kind of award or recognition.


sorry ted n....but we just aren't that into you.

[Initech]

7. Same thing with everything else.

If you have to tout how patriotic you are, you're not patriotic.

If you have to tout how religious you are, you're not religious.

If you have to tout how much of a "stable genius" you are, you're neither stable, nor a genius.

And so on.

[LiberalFighter]

97. I took your words and posted it on Facebook.

104. Nice!

110. And if you say you're not a racist, you're probably a racist. nt

[SMC22307]

101. That holds true for so much in life.

Drumpf especially comes to mind, along with the life's losers who have glommed on to him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Get over yourself pants shitter

[catbyte]

80. No kidding, especially with a mediocre music history like this:

[IMG][/IMG]

[Initech]

6. I'm sure Ted's song about fucking underage girls is something the HOF wants to associate with.

[pwb]

8. Mr shit his pants to get out of going in the service?

His music stunk like his pants. A one hit blunder.

[brewens]

9. If Blue Oyster Cult isn't in, Ted shouldn't be anywhere close. Since his 70's double live

album, Ted has had two songs I can think of that did anything. Wango Tango and Fred Bear. Not exactly timeless classics.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

82. Rigt there w you.

BOC

[ProfessorGAC]

125. And Buck Dharma (Don Roeser) Could Really Play The Guitar

With Ted, not so much.

[fishwax]

10. "No, the asshole isn't good enough"

That's what Crosby said last year when he was asked if it was politics keeping Nugent out of the Hall of Fame

7 songs charted between '76 and '80, none higher than #30. There's a reason he mostly plays county fairs and supermarket grand openings....he sucks and he is not Hall of Fame material.


Meanwhile ABBA charted 20 times, 4 were top 10's including one #1.

https://www.billboard.com/music/abba/chart-history

[Initech]

18. If Ted were still selling out Staples Center or the Shoreline Amphitheater, that would be one thing.

These days Ted could barely fill a crowd the size of the Hooters across the street from Staples Center.

[True Dough]

19. Good empirical data

Thanks for posting that.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

55. Yeah, but he had that D-list "supergroup"

Damn Yankees with a bunch of cast offs from Styx and other shitty bands.
They had one whole almost-hit, nearly 30 years ago

[mr_lebowski]

60. To be fair with this sort of music, record sales are a lot better indicator ...

I'd be willing to bet that Led Zeppelin's list of 'singles' sales are not a whole lot more impressive.

Pretty sure they had no more than 3 singles ever crack the Billboard Top 20, if that ... those being Whole Lotta Love, Trampled Underfoot, and All My Love.

Pink Floyd's list of 'hit singles' would be a bit better by virtue of one huge hit, Another Brick in the Wall Part II, and a minor hit (at the time) Money.

That said, it's friggin OBVIOUS they're both roughly 1,000,000,000X BETTER ... than Nugent was, is, or will be.

Iron Maiden, Slayer, The Smiths, The Cure, and Joy Division/New Order are the biggest snubs to me, at the moment.

[onenote]

83. You'd lose that bet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_discography#Singles

Zep also had six number one albums.

[mr_lebowski]

113. S'why I said Album sales are a better gauge ... 6 #1 albums a better reflection

In rock and roll than singles performance.

Err ... 'album' is what I meant when I said 'record'.

So, I stand slightly corrected, Zep had a #4, #15, #16, and #20 single over the years make top 20. So I guessed 3, and it's really 4, and the 4th was exactly 20 ... I'z WAY off, man ... lol ... And yeah okay only got 1 song right ... but my point remains, even some of the greatest bands ever don't have all that impressive of singles sales.

How many hit singles did Black Sabbath have I wonder?

[onenote]

114. actually, zep has had 7 top 20 singles on Billboard charts

In addition to the singles you list, Zep had three more top ten singles on the separate "US Rock" chart between 1990 and 1997.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

88. And the Replacements

A biggie that is inexplicable

And the MC5 being snubbed this long is absurd.
But Wenner kept Iggy Pop out for nearly 15 years,so no surprise

[Docreed2003]

92. MC5 being snubbed has been a personal beef of mine for a while!

[mr_lebowski]

112. Preaching to the choir on the 'Mats as well ... though their career was brief ...

W/only 3 legit great records in Let it Be, Tim, and Pleased to Meet Me ... I can see why they're arguable ... though they were a soundtrack to College for me in the late 80's ...

[Neema]

118. The Smiths, The Cure, and Joy Division/New Order were pretty much the soundtrack

of my teen years. And I still listen to them today. Their music has aged incredibly well.

[mr_lebowski]

119. I'm right with you Neema, plus U2, REM, Replacements, Femmes, Talking Heads, Police, INXS, Boingo

Last edited Tue Oct 23, 2018, 11:54 AM - Edit history (3)

Bauhaus/Love and Rockets, Siouxsie, Sisters of Mercy, The Alarm, Duran Duran, The Stone Roses, The Stranglers ... I could go on and on, I suppose ... lol ...

Mostly my later teens/college though, cause in me early teens I was a headbanger/classic rocker ...

So, I got a musical suggestion for ya ... one of my fave albums from 2014 ... it's SOOOOOO freaking 1980's (but good 1980's), playing and songwriting are terrific, listening to it is one long 'spot the influence' game ... this is one of my fave tracks ... I highly recommend headphones ... and high volume.

This will take you back, even though it's only a few years old. And you should check out the whole album, it's seriously ... really good ...

And another from the record I'm quite fond of ... with guest vocals from Jen Goma from Sunny Day In Glasgow

I especially like the 2nd verse of the song ... it's so wistful ... (and no, it's NOT rapey, the song's actually about a religious dude who doesn't put out, but still goes around breaking hearts)

and the touch of his body
so tender and cruel
when he made me play girlfriend
there wasn’t much I could do
then he’d come to my garret
and we’d
make something like love
the flowers he gave me have wilted
but I keep them ...
as I keep him

[Neema]

123. Ooh! I'll check it out. Thanks! I grew up listening to

R&B, funk, disco, bossa nova, the Beatles and some singer-songwriters. Came from a big musical family. My brother introduced me to the Police early in their career and I was obsessed for awhile.

When I started buying my own music with baby-sitting money, I progressed from the opposite direction you did. I bought Duran Duran, Nik Kershaw, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, OMD, General Public, Style Council, Pet Shop Boys...I loved Brit Pop that was rooted in a bit of R&B, no surprise. Then Depeche Mode, Erasure, English Beat (yeah, I knew General Public before English Beat), Bronski Beat and Yaz. Then I got into The Smiths, Cure, Joy Division, New Order, Siouxsie, etc. When I started going out dancing, the industrial/Wax Trax bands were huge: Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Revolting Cocks, etc.

Loved it all. Still do.

I joke with my friends about what our PBS oldies concerts are going to be like (in the not too distant future).

[mr_lebowski]

127. Yup, I like most of those bands too ...

Pet Shop Boys, Depeche/Yaz/Erasure (Vince Clarke, a vet of all 3 bands, is a MASTERFUL pop songwriter, man), and Talk Talk (their later, 'unpopular' stuff is REALLY good actually), in particular.

[Neema]

129. Vince Clarke, IKR? Totally underrated.

By the way, that album is really good! Has so many different influences. Thanks for the tip!

[mr_lebowski]

130. Glad you like ...

Another newish album you should check out is the debut from the band CHRVCHES, called 'The Bones of What You Believe' ... it's really friggin' good. I'm sure you've heard of them and heard some of their songs, but that album itself ... is a really, really good listen. Esp. for a Vince Clarke fan ...

Their more recent sophomore record is also excellent, but IMHO slightly less impressive, mainly due to it being more consistently 'poppy'. Their debut has some very cool 'darkness' to it ...

See ya 'round.

[treestar]

12. Is he referring to himself in the third person?

[Fritz Walter]

87. That's a sign of a mental health issue

Much like the way that baby donnie refers to itself in similar fashion.

[SMC22307]

98. "George is getting angry!" (n/t)

[lpbk2713]

13. Ted, please read the sign above the R&RHOF entrance ...

NO ASSHOLES ALLOWED

[onenote]

14. The HOF criteria:

Peformers: This category honors bands or solo artists which demonstrate musical excellence. Such a descriptor includes (but isn't limited to) influence on other performers or genres; length and depth of career and catalog; stylistic innovations; or superior technique and skills.

Nugent's highest charting single only made it to #30 and he's never had a top ten album. Basically, his career (after the Amboy Dukes) last less than ten years. He's been coasting ever since.

He hasn't influenced anything or anyone in the history of rock and roll, imo.

[mikeysnot]

26. I beg to differ

he has an enormous influence on assholes, racists and dumbasses.

[LiberalFighter]

99. But in the wrong way. Of course, that is his intent.

[TexasBushwhacker]

70. Ted has none of those things

He wasn't an exceptional musician or songwriter. He certainly wasn't groundbreaking or influential. He was "hot" when concerts were cheap and people still bought records. Compare his career to others who started in the 60s-70s rock wave and there's simply no comparison.

[Paladin]

15. So a talent-free fascist gun-sucker like Nugent should get into the Hall Of Fame.....

...while Warren Zevon gets passed over for yet another year?

Mutha-fuck that shit.......

[Cha]

16. Haha.. ted nugent.. What A LOSER.

[John Fante]

17. Warren Zevon is 1,000x the artist Ted could ever dream of

being, and he isn't even in. The man's career is emptier than his head.

[jmowreader]

48. There are a LOT of musicians who are better than Ted who aren't in the HOF

There's one guy who isn't in the Hall of Fame for Technical Achievement, and should be: Bing Crosby. He was the first big-name star to see the potential of tape recording, and who had the money and influence to do something about it.

But y'know Ted, if Iron Maiden isn't in the Hall of Fame, you don't get in either.

[John Fante]

93. For sure.

I happen to be listening to a lot of Warren Zevon lately. Thought I'd give him a shout out. ☺

And yeah, Iron Maiden body of work destroys Ted's. Judas Priest as well.

[Mike Rows His Boat]

128. Bing Crosby cofounded Ampex - the tape recorder and recording tape company.

Without greats like Bing and Les Paul, the recording industry wouldn’t have evolved as it did.

[ProfessorGAC]

126. Joan Jett Isn't In

She had a LOT more influence than Teddy boy, she had a couple top ten singles and albums, and people (like Dave and Khris) want to play with her, like when she sang at their induction into the HoF.

Nobody wants to play with Teddy boy anymore.

[jmowreader]

21. Where he needs to be is in the Bowhunting Hall of Fame

If you can get him the fuck off politics and focus his energies on archery, he's very knowledgeable and pleasant.

[Paladin]

28. Inflicting long, painful deaths on beautiful wild animals.

Yeah, give that miserable shithead recognition for something like that.

[jmowreader]

32. Who do you think is in the Bowhunting Hall of Fame?

I guarantee it is not a collection of vegans and ALF members.

[Paladin]

50. So go hang out with Nugent, if he's so goddamn "knowledgeable and pleasant."

Nugent is no Fred Bear or Ben Pearson or Howard Hill. Nugent is an asshole, regardless of environment or honors.

[Mendocino]

122. Nugent was busted

for two poaching violations; one in Alaska the other in California.

[LiberalFighter]

100. He should focus his energies on the receiving end of an embalmer.

[Thekaspervote]

22. I call it great! You don't deserve a place in those hallowed halls. How bout adm to

The trump hall of shame. That’s where you belong

[Hassler]

23. The HOF is waiting for Commander Crappy Pants to pen the song about avoiding Vietnam.

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. Sorry Ted, they don't have an "Asshole" Induction Category.

But if they ever decide to add one, believe me, you'll be in the very first group of inductees.

[Raster]

25. Teddy-boy Shittypants...

...NOT. GOOD. ENOUGH.

[BeckyDem]

27. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Thank you David Crosby.

Never will be is right.

[Downtown Hound]

29. I call it evidence supporting the existence of God. n/t

[d_r]

30. You know what the worst left out band is

I am not one of their fans, and I wasn't at the time, but honestly, it is Duran Duran. If you were alive in the 80s you would have seen how influential they were across wide parts of culture. They were as important to the 80s as someone like the rolling stones were to the 60s, but people can't see that because of baby boomer bias to the grandness of the 60s and because of bias of what is "really" rock and roll. If a person could step back and look at it impartially they clearly should be admitted.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

47. Jann Wenner snubs early 80s new wave

And has fought to blacklist them
The Cure still aren't in, more than 15 years past eligibility
Ditto B-52s, Go-Gos, Devo, Depeche Mode, Television, Siouxie, PIL, etc

Since Wenner's been disgraced in the past year with sex assault accusations,it seems he's losing his pull with the board and we saw a bunch of long-snubbed acts finally nominated this year

[d_r]

59. The cure

Are at least nominated this year and received my vote today.

[mr_lebowski]

66. Are they?!? YAY!!!

Absolutely 100% deserving, and well past-due in fact.

They are seminal, influential, long-lasting, innovative, hugely-popular, with many hits, have been relentlessly touring, and almost 40 years into their career (their first album was 1980), are still selling out rather large venues ... by themselves.

I agree Duran Duran should get in as well, but not before The Cure and The Smiths.

[d_r]

117. Personally

I love the Smiths, don't love Duran Duran, but I think Duran Duran was the "bigger" band. I can sing five albums worth of Smith's by heart and I "know of" maybe 10 Duran Duran songs total, but those songs were all huge "hits" whereas those Smith's albums were deeply loved but by a few.

But yeah the Smith's should be in there. And joy division/new order.

[mr_lebowski]

68. Unless they're NY based ... that's usually a leg-up.

Television was really not new wave though

[smirkymonkey]

85. No B-52's?!

No Go-Go's, Devo, Depeche Mode, etc?

Ted doesn't have a fucking chance!

[KayF]

31. they let black people and women in!

and not me? Obscene!

[Zambero]

33. The Rock HOF should induct the GUESS WHO

But no-talent PissyPants Ted? GUESS NOT!!!

Good call, Croz....

[CatMor]

34. He's got it wrong ....

it would be sacrilege if he were inducted in the Hall of Fame.

[Gothmog]

35. This idiot does not belong in any hall of fame

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

36. LOL He seriously thinks he's more deserving than Patti fucking Smith?

One of the most influential performers ever, who recorded Horses and Easter and ruled the 70s CBGBs scene?

https://m.

Her talents have been cited by U2, REM, PJ Harvey and god knows how many successors. She's played with Springsteen, the Stones and her albums all get critical acclaim

While Pedo Nugent is a one-hit wonder with a bad mullet rock novelty song who plays county fairs with Foghat and Loverboy

[Hulk]

37. This is almost funny.

But nothing about that talentless pants shitter is the least bit funny. One sick, disgusting pig of a human...and that's an insult to pigs everywhere.

[Dr Vegas]

38. Link Wray nominated, but did not get in

When I posted my vote on my FB page last year, I got a lot of "Who's Link Wray?"
I really hope MC5 get in this year

[GReedDiamond]

39. Is there a Pedophile Hall of Fame...

...or even just a No-Talent Scumbag Asshole Piece-of-Shit Hall of Fame?

That's where Ted the Ped's legacy could be "celebrated."

Drop Dead, Ted.

[elmac]

40. poor little snowflake nt

[madinmaryland]

41. Let's see. A couple of hits in the 70's?

He’s spent his time since then shitting himself and jacking off with his guns.

Maybe they have a place for him in the Masturbators Hall of Fame. Next to Peewee Herman.

[TygrBright]

42. Dude, seriously? You can get in for twenty-one bucks.

Oh, wait, that's the senior rate. If you want to claim you're not a senior it'll cost you two bucks more.

But it's really worth it. Fun and cool way to spend a day!

If you don't have the split, start a GoFundMe.

I'm sure some of your buds will pony up.

helpfully,
Bright

[sfwriter]

43. I'm 48 and can say...

I do not know a single song by him.

ABBA, Grandmaster Flash and Patti Smith I’ve heard of.

I know Ted as an election-time ass and gun nut.

[BigmanPigman]

52. Cat Scratch Fever is the biggie.

This is funny!

[tavernier]

86. Thanks a lot!

Now my screen smells like poop.

[FuzzyRabbit]

91. This performance is embarrassing! Nugent isn't even a good poser.

This parody just falls flat, right from the first note.

[jmowreader]

54. I'm 55 and can say...

You must not have had a radio when you were a kid. They used to play "Cat Scratch Fever" on every station once an hour where I lived. It is such a wonderful song with a catchy riff (seriously, it is a catchy riff) and a fine message about the joys of catching gonorrhea.

Funny war story follows: In November 1993 I bought a little black kitten. Three weeks later I had a painful lump on my leg about six inches down from where they come together at the top. "I guess I better get this checked." The PA runs some tests and comes back with the results: "You have cat scratch fever." I looked at the guy..."you mean that's a real disease?"

[sfwriter]

63. My point is...

This one-hit Wonder is easily overlooked. I was more PAC-MAN Fever than “classic” rock which sounded like oldies to me by 1985. He hasn’t scraped up any cultural relevance and nothing that transcends his own generation.

[llmart]

84. I'm 69 and never heard him once on the radio.

I listened to the radio all the time. If not for DU, I would not be able to name one song of his.

[CaptainTruth]

44. Notice how all the right-wingers wallow in self-pity today?

Seems like every one views themselves as victims of something.

[mtnsnake]

45. Nugent is a HOF asshole, but I have to admit I still love Journey to the Center of the Mind

when he was with the Amboy Dukes.

[BigmanPigman]

46. Anthony Bourdain said that his Nugent episode of

his No Reservations show got more hate mail than any other show he filmed. Nugent was an ass about hunting, guns, etc. Tony said, "We disagree on almost everything". I don't know how he was able to stay so cool around that dickhead.

[True Dough]

62. Gotta admire Bourdain

Damn, such a loss. Still watching the final episodes of Parts Unknown with joy and a strong mix of sadness.

[BigmanPigman]

67. Me too...

I liked the one where he was in Mscow with his pal Zamir and said that "Putin is a businessman with an e.g., just like tRump only shorter". He was pretty good at spotting BS.

[elmac]

49. Who's Ted Nugent? oh, I remember

he's that old dude that sang at president Hoover's inauguration, damn, hims too old for the hall of fame.

[Wounded Bear]

51. Sacrilege?

53. Another Lying Ted

Crawl back under your rock, Ted

[True Dough]

64. Crying Ted in this case, IMO

[LuckyCharms]

56. CAT SCRATCH FEVER

UH UH UH

CAT SCRATCH FEVER

PUKE PUKE PUKE

[DoctorJoJo]

57. On the Plus Side, Ted--You ARE In the ASSHOLE Hall of Fame!

[Hoyt]

58. Ted Nugent belongs in the gun-humper, racist Hall of Fame, and that's about it.

[maxsolomon]

61. Politics aside, he and the Amboy Dukes SHOULD be in the HOF

At this point, the HOF is filled with plenty of mediocrities, and more and more keep being inducted.

Bon Jovi? ELO? Kiss? In for years. Is Donna Summer "Rock"? Is Tupac? Is Miles Davis? People are in for 1 or 2 hit songs (Del Shannon), or backing up Gene Vincent (the Blue Caps). Ted had a legitimate, albeit crass, decade-plus career before assuming his current role of America's resident Gun Nut.

Simply put, he's not in because he's an asshole, not because he's not good enough. No one wants the headache of dealing with him. Posthumous induction, with an asterisk.

[True Dough]

65. I loved Bon Jovi!

Grew up listening to New Jersey and Slippery When Wet. They might not be R&R HoF worthy, but I have a real sentimental connection with their music.

But your're right, the R&R HoF is a joke.

[maveric]

76. KISS is in and Blue Oyster Cult is not?

The list goes on.

[Mr. Ected]

69. If he wants to blame liberals for holding him back from his vaunted HOF induction

Perhaps he could refund all of us the hard-earned money we forked over for his albums in the 70's, before we were aware of what a Praegrandis Assholius he truly is, politically and in real life.

[ProudLib72]

71. If it comes down to The Shaggs and Butt Nugent

I'm voting for The Shaggs. Who can forget their song "My Pal Foot Foot"? Classic material right there!

[hatrack]

131. I remember a live show I saw featuring The Shaggs on the PA during the break

Everybody around me kept muttering "What the fuck IS this?"

I alone knew who!

[Firestorm49]

72. New Category?

Maybe the R&R Hall Of Fame needs to create a new caregory for Nugent.

Submit your thoughts below.

[BobTheSubgenius]

73. Regardless of his politics

and his vile nature, I`m totally with David Crosby on this. Nugent is nowhere near good enough at anything to be the Hall. Cat Scratch Fever is mediocre at best, and it`s the only Nugent song most people can name, if even that.

Arguably, his guitar playing is his `best` of his alleged and minuscule talents....so, if you ever get the chance to ask him, or one of his adherents, find out if they remember when Shawn Lane blew him off the stage...at the age of 15.

Also, James Hetfield is way more brain-damaged than I`d thought.

[catbyte]

74. Dear Ted,

[IMG][/IMG]

[AZ Jim]

75. Nugent is a piece of what he did in his pants

and he and his music smell like that too. Fuck the draft dodging punkass.

[sandensea]

77. I call it hygiene

[calimary]

78. I call it both fitting and proper.

[NurseJackie]

79. ...

[2naSalit]

81. Actually, it's because you suck, wangotangoman!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

89. Ted Pungent... a legend in his own mind.

[world wide wally]

90. Based on his musicianship

Fuck no!
He sucks on guitar.
He is totally outside the rock culture as well.
Fuck Ted Nugent

[Amimnoch]

94. Who?

Big ole nobody in my book.

[Blue Owl]

95. He's already in the Hall of Fucksticks

n/t

[davepdx]

102. I think that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame can accommodate and honor Mr. Nugent...

like one of my dorm brothers at the Univ. of South Fla. did for George Wallace in 1968 when he stuck a George Wallace "Stand Up for America" bumper sticker inside one of the urinals.

[VOX]

103. A Special Award for Ted: Bronzed Fecal-Caked Pants.

And be grateful for that, you unbelievable LIGHTWEIGHT

[Progressive Jones]

105. He's not in the RRHOF because nobody wants him there.

Rock and Roll is for the cool people, not the Great Unwashed.

[JHan]

106. Fuck. Off. Ted.

[MaryMagdaline]

107. Other than the pedophilia song

What else is he known for?

[MineralMan]

108. You Still Stink of Crap, Ted.

[Kajun Gal]

109. If Ted Nugent's music was any good he'd be in the Hall of Fame. But it sucks!

[90-percent]

111. Don't forget

Don't forget Captain Beefheart and the Magic band!

-90% Jimmy

[Solly Mack]

115. Maybe Ted should try dying to get the pity vote.
