Ted Nugent opens up on Tommy Shaw & Sammy Hagar
Nugent has been enthusiastic for live music performances and recommended catching performances by notable acts. He praised Sammy Hagar’s musical talent in his remarks. He also encouraged audiences to experience Styx’s live shows.
“If I wasn’t me, I’d be in the front row watching my ass every night because my God, we have so much fun,” Nugent said.
“I have more fun with my music than anybody in the world. Now, Sammy Hagar is close. Sammy Hagar is a musical soulful force to reckon with. If you get to see Sammy Hager, he’s got a new live thing from his live album, live music from his residency in Las Vegas. Get it.”
Nugent then shared his thoughts on Styx and its guitarist Tommy Shaw. He offered a colorful description of the band’s appeal.
“Also, if you get a chance to see Styx, with my fellow damn Yankee, Tommy Shaw. Styx, what an incredible, soulful band. He’s like a huge black monster in a little white guy’s body. Tommy Shaw, I love you. You’re such a damn Yankee. But if you get a chance, go see Styx,” he continued.
Ted Nugent and Sammy Hagar are both very vocal in the media with bombastic personalities, but Nugent has leaned more towards sharing his political and pro-gun views, while Sammy has stuff to his brand of a rock and roll good time with tequila by the beach.
