 Like a dog in heat... October 10, 2001

Ted Nugent's first solo album defines what was great about mid-'70's hard rock, commercial yet not altogether radio friendly
songs that still stand up today. This was the first Ted CD I bought after listening "Great Gonzos" for the last ten years. I knew a record which already contained "Stranglehold", "Doctor" and "Madhouse" would have other killer songs and I wasn't disappointed. "Stormtroopin'", "Hey Baby", "Snakeskin Cowboys", and "Queen of the Forest" also push this album into classic status. I love the combination of Ted's obnoxious guitar and Derek St. Holmes' struttin' vocals. I think St. Holmes was a very underated singer and his contributions to this LP have helped me enjoy it even more. The fact that Ted only sings one line in "Stranglehood" and solo vocal on "Madhouse" was another pleasant surprise. It's too bad the two of them couldn't continue in the same vein after Ted asserted his dominance over all aspects of his music including his sometimes ridiculous singing voice. As far as the extras on this CD reissue go, like many other reissues of classic albums(see also Judas Priest),....who needs them! "Magic Party" [stinks] and the three live tracks are all on "Double Live Gonzo", so why bother? Just give me the nine tracks from the original 1975 release and that's all I need from Terrible Teddy's classic Epic debut.

I love this album for several reasons. The tracks are very diverse. I like Stranglehold, Motor City Madhouse and Hey Baby, but I'm sure you'll disagree with me, because there are songs for all the tastes. In any case, this is rock'n'roll at its best: nice guitar riffs and solos, a good singer and interesting songs. As a guitarist, I've always liked the clean and dense sound of Ted's guitar... He is not a conventional rocker: his solos (listen to Stranglehold!) have a special lyricism and emotion not found with other guitar heroes. He's much better than many. He knows the meaning of silence and space in music, which is especially uncommon to many rock'n'roll guitarists... It's a pity he didn't have the ability to keep together a permanent band around him...The extra tracks in this CD show that Ted really could play live at the same standard as in the studio. I also like a later album called 'Weekend Warriors', although it's not usually ranked among his best by other people.

This CD is his first and best ever. In the first song, Stranglehold, Ted's guitar playing is beyond belief. Other great songs included on this album are Stormtroopin', Just What the Doctor Ordered and Snakeskin Cowboys. The extra tracks include live versions of Stormtroopin', Just What the Dr. Ordered and Motor City Mad House. Also live is Magic Party, which I didn't care for much, but one song out a whole album is not bad! Do yourself a favor...take a trip back to the 70's and buy this CD.

From top to bottom, this album has to rank right up there with BTO's "Not Fragile" as one of the most consistent and entertaining that hard rock had to offer in the 1970's. The first Nugent album to feature vocalist Derek St. Holmes, "Ted Nugent" was a comeback of sorts for Nugent after years of paying dues with seminal thud rock/psychedelic warriors The Amboy Dukes. Although this release features all of the guitar wizardry and histrionics we've come to expect from Nugent (and despite what you think of his politics, let's face it: the guy knows his way around a fretboard) on "Stranglehold," "Just What The Doctor Ordered," and "Snakeskin Cowboys," he also shows a flair for swing on "Hey Baby," which was later covered by blues diva Koko Taylor. Contains probably the best description of my hometown of Detroit in "Motor City Madhouse": "Such a healthy place for the boys and girls/It's the murder capital of the world." What's starting to worry me is that although I've never picked up a gun or bow in my life, I find myself agreeing with most of what he says, and there's something weirdly charming about his maniacal desire to kill every deer in North America. One of the best albums from the decade that helped to define heavy metal.
classic heavy metal album that never received its due October 30, 2006

If you grew up in the midwest, this album was in every self respecting rock and roll animal's collection. Growing up in Chicago in the 1970's, this album was a rock and roll bible..right up there with Led Zep II, Deep Purple's "Made in Japan", Sabbath's Paranoid and Beatle's "WHite Album".
These songs would have never been as good without the amazing singing of Derek ST. Holmes. What a shame that he left (or Ted got rid of him). He was a real integral part of the songs.
"Stranglehold" is the standout song. This is a macho/nonsensical song that simply provides an excuse to hear killer guitar riffs and psychodelic sounds. It works. Play it in your car and it will make you feel like a teen again.
I always loved "Snakeskin cowboys" a rocker that is very catchy and fast paced.
"Hey Baby" is a cover of a classic blues tune and this faster paced version works well.
"Just what the Doctor Ordered" is the last great song off the album.
The other songs are also good. There is no filler here.
This album should have put Ted Nugent in the upper realm of hard rockers. He did not catch on nationally until "Cat Scratch Fever" which is a more novelty work then these more blues based songs.
Ted was a true talent and even a truer wildman. That probably affected his career. Not that Ted did not get famous b/c he did get huge. However, I think a large part of his fame was attributed to his infamy rather than his talent.
The band that played on this album was compareable to anybody else from that period.
I am not a Ted Nugent fan, am no head banging freak but this is a terrific, rocking, high quality album. This and "Free for All" are his best works.
When he sang about pootang he lost his credibility
