Ted Nugent says DIMEBAG was a Loser Doper
 

TED NUGENT Says PANTERA's Version Of 'Cat Scratch Fever' Had 'No Soul, No Balls' - May 14, 2006

Ted Nugent has slammed PANTERA's cover of his signature tune "Cat Scratch Fever" as having "no soul, no balls" and "no feel," adding that the members of PANTERA appeared as "Ozzy-like zombies on TV" whose conduct on stage went against his lifelong anti-drugs and -drink stance.

Responding to a fan posting on Nugent's official message board (dubbed "The Nuge Board") about late PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and the VH1 "Behind the Music" special on PANTERA that premiered this past Thursday, Ted (who posts on the message board under the name "Nuge") wrote that he "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."

When another fan pointed out that Dimebag "loved" Nugent's music and that he had stated in a magazine interview that he often played some of Ted's riffs before a show to loosen up the fingers — going so far as to cover "Cat Scratch Fever" for the 1999 "Detroit Rock City" soundtrack — Nugent responded, "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."

After the fan who started the original thread (who calls himself "the_A_team") defended Dimebag by saying that "you have to at least respect Dime as a guitarist," adding that "even though he did drugs, I heard he didn't do very many," Nugent replied, "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."

I love how he says dope is 'life-destroying'.

I'd much rather be a dopesmoker than a washed-up, arrogant jackass.

Ted Nugent is a douchebag.

Don't take a man who wears lionclothes for a living seriously.

i agree 100% with Ted on this one

I don't.

its in his name, If its in your name you are one to me.

For once boo boo, I totally agree with you. Ted's a washed up has been jealous of a man who died with the respect and his own sort of dignity in the eyes of a huge, loyal fanbase.

I hereby grant Ted Nugent the title of 2005's #1 Jack Rag Licking Anal Conducting Ego Master. Sorry 50 Cent, somebody just ripped your title.

:rofl:

Let's just all learn to agree to disagree, and agree that.

Pantera >>> Ted Nugent.

That chart is completely discrepant.

There's no way Mike Tyson is smarter than a rock.

:rofl:

Whats the big deal? It was a shit cover.

Is he supposed to say he liked it just coz the guy is dead?

thank you urban, finally someone that realizes shit is shit whether it be dead or alive. nobody gave a fuck about dimebag except for dirty longhairs with bad hygene and metal head jocks that couldnt make the football team...then when someone FINALLY shuts the guy up, everyone puts him on a pedestal like he was a metal god.

:beer:

Dirty longhairs with bad hygiene > You.

cut your hair and get off the stage grammer nazi

Grammar has nothing to do with spelling. It's actually the study of how words and their component parts combine to form sentences. :)

Never.

IDGAF about the cover, I've never even heard it.
But this was unwarranted.
Swe-e-e-e-t!http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/edoom/Peace!.gif

Ted Nugent has always said what other people are to frightened or too 'politically correct' to say.

I agree with him. There are no positives when it comes to drug use.

For anyone who truly believes this...

Read. Analyze. Gather.

:clap: Finally someone says it.
F*ck Dimebag Darrel, how many more times do I have to hear some redneck half-wit praise Pantera? Then threaten me because I say they were sh*t.

So.... Should we all be happy that the man is dead?

I think it's funny that the drug policy of the country that Ted is so adamant to defend is a complete joke...Our government rakes in the dough on cigarettes and alcohol which kill more people than all other drugs combined times 10, and yet "dimebags" (pot) which kill NO ONE are illegal...Gee..I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that our government can't profit from the legalization of marijuana?

I heard a comedy routine, really similar to that.

"So, lets say you get in a car accident and you're smoking pot. You're only going five miles an hour!"

"So lets say you're at a concert and someones getting rowdy, are they drunk or high?"
"DRUNK!"
"Wow, we all know the truth"

and so on.

the late, great Bill Hicks...he was nutty but had some insightful, good points

I think one of them was:

"Stoners never get into fights, heres why..."

Baked guy 1: "What did you just say to me"
Baked guy 2: "Wha...???"

Baked guy 1: "You just said...just said.."
Baked guy 2: "I just said...what did...I.. I just say man?"

Baked guy 1: " I don't know anymore man...ha..haha hahaahaha"
Baked guy 2: " hahahahaha"

Together: "HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Why can't the government make huge profits of weed? Im pretty sure they could make a killing.

I'm with you 100%, I've never understood the fascination with dimebag

Ted Nugent = Soul and Heart

Dime = Wank and Noodling

I calls 'em like I sees 'em

Eh, im no fan of Dimebag, but Ted Nugent? Pffft, what a ****ing hack. No one ever says, "know whats a good band? ****ing Damn Yankees"

Dimebag's not that great...........what? He's dead? Na na, He was the greatest!

:usehead:

Damn Yankees is somewhat forgivable, it was the late 80's early 90's, nobody was thinking clearly

Ted Nugent wasn't a hack. He's not the greatest ever, for sure, but he had his own sound and style. A pretty good guitartist. He wasn't innovative and didn't experriment much, but her put out some great album, from his days with the Amboy Dukes, on up to maybe to 'Weekend Warriors'. After that, it was a matter of putting out albums that all ran together.


Fang Tooth and Claw
Ted Nugent
Free For All
Cat Scratch Fever
Double Live Gonzo
Weekend Warriors

All very good cds.

Ted Nugent has never made any allusions to being the most creative guitartist in the world. He made straight up, guitar oriented rock and roll albums. He's a braggart, sure enough. No one loves Uncle Ted and much as he does.

As far as the drug thing, don't be so naive as to think the government isn't making any money from drugs.

And I stand by what I said. No good comes from drug use. You spend your money, get high, then come down and you're exactly where you were before, only with less money. Over time, you spend more and more money, because as your immunity builds, it takes more to get high, and you always end up right back where you were, wit less money.

And the final, cruelset cut of all is, eventually, you're spending all your money on a drug that doesn't get you high any more, just so you can function through your addiction.

I liked Dimebag before he died, and i know a lot of people who can say the same.... Why is that so hard to believe?

I like Ted Nugent , not because of his music but because rock music needs characters like him.

Lets face it , chugging metal guitarists are ten a penny.

congratulations you are the new MB spelling bee champion!! your family must be so proud

I'm with you there, I've been a Pantera fan since I was in middle school. My brother introduced me to 'em, granted they've done some songs that I'd say sucked ballsac, but they did alot more that I did like.

because not as many seemed to sing his praises so much before
and this seems to be a recurring thing with artists that pass on. I mean of course it's a tragedy, yes, it just makes one wonder.

Well that's 'cause we're not like f*ckin' Titty Spheres fans, you'd never hear a Pantera fan go, "I love you Dimebag! Like, oh my god you're just so cool!" No, it's more like, "F*ck yeah mother f*cker!" or "Yeah! Rip that sh*t!" or "F*ck yeah! You f*ckin' f*cker! F*ckin' turn that f*ckin' sh*t up you f*ckin' f*ck!" or something along those lines.

Course not, but we shouldn't all the sudden treat him like the savior of metal.
No one talked about him till he died.

Yeah they did, just not many people were paying any attention.
