Just got some exciting news. I have been speaking with Mr. Nugent's personal assistant over the last month or so about getting a press pass to shoot some pix's of his show that is taking place tomorrow night in Vancouver, WA. Just got confirmation that it is a go for the first 3 songs (standard for any concert shoot). WAY COOL! (Message edited by pdxs3t on August 08, 2005) | ||

very cooooool beans -- just don't move suddenly if you're in his sight line, and I'm sure everything will be OK! | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Should be a rockin time, been a Nugent fan since 1977. Will post some of the better pix's after the show tomorrow night! | ||

Hot Damn.. Ok, now I'm jealous.. I've been a fan for ..uh.. decades.. and over the years have seen him many times.. While I will say it's sad that he's 'slowed down' with age.. While he only moves around like a 20 year old 'current' rocker on stage now, he used to make the energizer bunny on speed look like it was moving in slow motion.. Terrible Ted, the MotorCity Mad Man had to be the BEST strictly live, no props show in the business.. That and he's kind of fun to listen too when he's not playing.. hehehehe.. uh.. OK, can't wait to see some of those shots.. Later, | ||

No props?!?! What about the time he came out at the "Whiplash Bash" new years eve at Cobo Hall in Detroit on TOP of his zebra stripe painted bronco? I attended 4 "bash" shows in a row and every year was great. Even the year I got an M80 exploded RIGHT next to me at the sound board and the sound guy whiped out back stage passes for me to "sooth" it over. Fun night that was. | ||

Damn! In the early shows I saw him, it was him, a guitar.. a mike stand(sorely abused) and the man doing such gyrations, flips, leaps and other things while NOT MISSING A NOTE that floored me.. Oh.. and his trademark 'Coon Tail' hanging from the back of his pants. The Bronco, bow and arrow and what not came later.. I guess leaping off a stack of Marshalls, over a drum set/riser and to the stage while playing a lead riff could take it's toll on anyone sooner or later.. Damn, good memories.. I loved every show of his I've ever seen.. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Blublak, From what I understand he has slowed a bit but not in his guitar playing at all! Will make sure I catch a few of those moments for ya when Ted rev's it up a bit. Oh yeah, he his playing in Richmond, VA on August 31.  | ||

I met Terrible Ted while waiting in line for a concert (Damn Yankees w/ Jackyl) 13 years ago or so. He was handing out his whackmaster catalogs (bow hunting supplies) ,signing autographs, and just generally talking with people and having a good time with the people waiting out front. It was pretty cool, and completely unexpected. I was impressed with how personable he was. He wasn't at all what you expect a rock star to be. | ||
| Choptop |
Cool... tell him Choptop says "hi" | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Ted is not your typical "rock star" at all, one of the reason's I enjoy his music. Sure was weird seeing him with the Damn Yankee's though, still rocked, it was just weird. | ||
| Devdawg |
Saw "Uncle Ted's" first few "Whiplash Bash" shows.... Each one was better than the last... Met him at his hunting shop just outside Jackson, MI....awesome guy....very personable | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Not only can the man rock, he can also hunt too! | ||
| Gomo |
Just don't wear a set of antlers while taking the shots - it could be your last. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
LOL......Don't think I would be wearing any antlers but thanks for the advise, I would hate to end up as a wall mount! | ||
| Thunderbolt3 |
You,ll have a great time Ted is down to earth person.His Marshalls go 11 not 10 so he told us i,ve did 3 of his shows, lights , sound ,props , ect.depending on his tour schedule he usely shows up a day in advanced. take in the sights. And blends in well. At our place he walks the bike path on the mississippi river. You,ll love the show. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
I am hoping that I get the chance to meet him before the show, will keep my fingers crossed on that one! | ||

TED FOR PRESIDENT!!! | ||
| Pdxs3t |
He would get my vote! | ||
| Djkaplan |
Not a real big fan of his music, but I love his books. He can make even a recipe book a pulpit for his NRA and hunting rants, plus a wink at the ladies. | ||
| Whodom |
Ted is cool. He seems like a real good candidate for a Ully! | ||
| Pdxs3t |
The adventure begins, stay tuned for some really cool pixs! | ||
| Pdxs3t |
All I can say is WOW! Shot of my family up in the stands while I am down in front of front row.  Mr. Nugent can still rock n roll, ENJOY!                 | ||
| Whodom |
Awesome shots! Great to see Nuge playing that big old Gibson again like the old days. | ||
| Pcmodeler |
I've seen him a couple of times over the last few years. I enjoy the music but his political preachings I can do without. | ||
| Djkaplan |
Great shots! Ted looks good for a guy his age. | ||
| Bomber |
PD -- great shots, bud -- you can tell the band was enjoying themselves, which is, of course, the primary ingrediment for a good show -- DJ -- a guy his age? mumblemumble ;-} | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
the Motor City Madman, the Ten Fingers of Doom. if ya can't rock out to Cat Scratch Fever, ya can't rock out. great work, Pdx, ya lucky (i mean good) bastage. FB | ||

I remember hearing that right before the first Gulf War started (when we were taking Kuwait back from Iraq) that an Army unit set up a MASSIVE P.A. system at the Kuwait border and played "Stranglehold" at high volume for ~24 hours straight. I imagine that was a pretty good psychological warfare technique. | ||
| Choptop |
Did you catch Nuge on Rockin the Corps? GREAT performance. His back up band? Godsmack. amazing. Shot in HD, 5.1 surround. if it comes out on DVD, get it. | ||
| Trolldaddi |
Great pics | ||
| Dino |
Finally found the time to come looking for Ted. Wow!! Great shots, Jim! Looks like a most excellent time was had by all. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Thanks to all who have taken the time to check the pix's out. It was a great time, wish I could have stayed longer then 3 songs up front. Would have loved to put my 50mm f/1.8 lens to work with the stage lights. You can check out a few more pix's here http://www.digitalphotonorthwest.com/bands/tednugent/tednugent.html | ||

Nice Shots.. Checked out your online portfolio as well.. Some cool stuff there. Man, brought back them memories.. Gotta find out when he's jammin' in my neck of the woods again... Thanks for sharing.. | ||
| Light_keeper |
You got a big family. When I lived in Kodiak Alaska I had friends that used to hunt with him. He's a nut for that sort of thing. Used to go Bow hunting for bear I'm told. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Light_keeper, I do have a big family.....Just 4 of em in that shot though. My wife is in the center with the big smile, son Kyle to the right, son Josh to the left and our daughter Chelsea to the left of Josh. Blublak, Thanks for your kind words! Ted is in Richmond, VA on August 31. |
