"never thought too highly of anyone foolish enough to take on the nickname of a life-destroying dope product and promote such family-destroying conduct on stage."

He takes issue with someone using a nickname that has drug connetations , that seems fair enough to me. I see that as constructive criticism rather than abuse.He said he didn`t like the name , he explained why. He didn`t disrespect the guy who went by that name.

"though I'm no expert on all things PANTERA, I did hear their version of 'Cat Scratch Fever' and it was exceedingly white. No soul, no balls, no feel. Caucasian all the way. Elements of dope, booze and heroin disconnect quite apparent as usual. There is no excuse for such horrifically negative, irresponsible, criminal, America-wrecking behavior as such chimp-like substance abuse. Period. They appeared as Ozzy-like zombies on TV. Ya think. American drunks and dopers are allahpuke terrorists' favorite allies. Damn them. Damn them all."

OK , so he said he didn`t like the cover of the song & criticised
THE WHOLE BAND.For their lifestyle. But I guess 'Nugent blasts Pantera' doesn`t have the same headline grabbing title

"I indeed do respect all people for the positives in their life. Sadly, there comes a time of diminishing returns in the balance. At the end of the day, my respect is reserved for those solidly in the asset column of mankind."

Again , he`s just expressing the opinion he`s always had of people who use drink & drugs in general. Why should he change that just for one dead guy?
Take off your Pantera fanboy goggles & actually read what he said rather than look at the headline grabbing title.
