Ted Nugent: Last News

at Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again Rally in Washington, DC, he’ll also mark nearly a decade of friendship with the president-elect. The news that Rock — born Robert James Ritchie — would be performing at the concert on the eve of Trump’s inauguration was not surprising. The “Cowboy” musician, 54, has been one of Trump’s most effusive and at times rabid supporters since the reality TV star-turned-politician won the presidential election in 2016.Before the Republican primaries had even kicked off that year, Rock voiced his support for the former “Apprentice” host, 78.

Pearl Jam brought their cover of Temple Of The Dog’s ‘Hunger Strike’ back to their setlist for the first time in 10 years during a gig in Sydney.The band last covered the song live in October 2014 at Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit, performing it with Temple of the Dog’s late frontman Chris Cornell. Notably they have not performed it since Cornell died in 2017 at the age of 52.They dusted the cover off again for the final show of their ‘Dark Matter‘ world tour yesterday (November 23).

Pearl Jam played the 1990s deep cut ‘The Whale Song’ for the first time ever on Friday (September 27) – watch the footage below.The band were playing at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California when they decided to dig deep into their catalogue to play the song, which was released on the 1999 compilation ‘Music For Our Mother Ocean 3’, and was later included on 2003’s ‘Lost Dogs’.The song was written by the band’s drummer at the time Jack Irons, and for this performance they were joined by Jack’s son Zach Irons. See fan-captured footage of the song here:Introducing the song, frontman Eddie Vedder said: “It’s a song written by one of our great drummers named Jack Irons.

Ted Nugent has responded to Pearl Jam‘s recent anti-gun cover of ‘Stranglehold’.On Thursday (September 12), Pearl Jam performed in Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena, and briefly covered Nugent’s 1975 track, with Eddie Vedder ad-libbing: “I don’t own a gun/ I don’t ever want to own a gun/ I don’t own a gun, never want to own a gun,” after guitarist Mike McCready played it’s iconic opening riff.Vedder didn’t comment beyond that, instead opting to launch straight into ‘Even Flow’. However, Nugent caught wind of it and made his own statement on social media.The gun rights advocate took to X/Twitter to write: “hey Eddie join me on my RAV [Real America’s Voice show] spirit campfire to discuss how your insane liberal policies have created an explosion in engineered violent recidivism while you fight to disarm helpless innocent citizens.”hey Eddie join me on my RAV spirit campfire to discuss how your insane liberal policies have created an explosion in engineered violent recidivism while you fight to disarm helpless innocent citizens.https://t.co/OBjHpsWgru— Ted Nugent (@TedNugent) September 13, 2024In 2021 – despite homicides in the US rising by 30 per cent in 2020 over the previous year – the outspoken Nugent claimed America didn’t have a gun problem.

Ted Nugent and his son Rocco have released a song about the attempted Donald Trump assassination, ‘Who Shot Trump’.The American musician – who is a high profile supporter of Donald Trump – has now dropped a song with his son, with its chorus warning that whoever shot the former US President “fucked up / When they shot Trump / They fucked up”Rocco continues to sing: “But now you got problems when you fuck with us / He’s our guy / Here’s the reason why / You had your shot but he ain’t die / Inside job / I don’t care / Y’all just protect that man right there / It’s time to fight / Stand your ground / Let them know how freedom sounds.”Nugent has previously attracted criticism for his far-right political views, including repeating baseless claims that Antifa and BLM activists were behind the Capitol riot, claiming systemic racism has been “fixed” in the US, and that America doesn’t have a gun problem.A Nugent Alabama show was cancelled over his politics last year, with one commenter reacting to the news of his proposed show at the Avondale Brewing Co. venue in Birmingham, Alabama: “I will never spend another dollar in your establishment.”“Grotesque that you would book such trash.

Taylor Swift has tied level with Elvis Presley for the solo artist record of most weeks at Number One on the Billboard 200 chart.Swift’s latest re-recording, ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ has taken over the top spot on the Billboard 200, as Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pink Friday 2’ lands the Number 2 spot on its second week out.This week marked the 67th week that Swift has had an album at the top of the charts, tying her with the “King Of Rock And Roll”, who had previously held the record. Swift’s re-emergence at the top spot on the charts is due to an influx of vinyl sales for Christmas.

Ted Nugent has hit out at Taylor Swift, dismissing her music as “all poppy nonsense” with “no fire” and “no sensuality”.Nugent, who has been a musician since the 1970s and later became a right-wing commentator, was asked his opinions on modern music during an appearance on the The Joe Pags Show and his thoughts on Swift were particularly unsparing.“So I’m afraid to say in this world that’s gone down the toilet in all aspects, I’m afraid the success of Taylor Swift, and God bless her work ethic, God bless her musical dreams, but that’s cartoon music,” Nugent said [via Blabbermouth]. “I mean, it doesn’t have any piss and vinegar.

Ted Nugent has hit out at “liars and haters” for the cancellation of his gig in Alabama.Nugent – who is a high profile supporter of Donald Trump – was due to play the Avondale Brewing Co. venue in Birmingham, Alabama on July 18 as part of his ‘Adios Mofo’ tour, but the gig was cancelled this week over backlash regarding the singer’s political views.After the announcement, the venue’s post about the gig was flooded with thousands of comments protesting the show, with one saying: “Lose this show or lose my business.”In response, the venue cancelled the show and wrote: “We have heard the concerns of the Avondale community, which is so important to us, and in conjunction with our partners, have taken the necessary steps to to cancel the Ted Nugent concert scheduled for July 18.”Nugent himself has now responded to the cancellation, tweeting: “liars & haters drunk on stupid incapable to debate me.”liars & haters drunk on stupid incapable to debate me-https://t.co/P56ILUnziG— Ted Nugent (@TedNugent) May 5, 2023Last year saw Nugent hit out at Bruce Springsteen “for being a dirtbag and supporting communists” as well as calling Neil Young “a complete punk” over his decision to pull his music from Spotify.The singer also urged supporters of Donald Trump to “remain peaceful” if the former President were to be arrested on charges related to an investigation into a $130,000 (£106,000) payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.Nugent went on to tell Trump’s supporters to instead participate in non-violent forms of protest.

James Corden poked fun at Donald Trump on The Late Late Show – claiming that he is “guilty as sin” after the former president declared that he was going go be arrested.Trump is facing criminal charges in Manhattan related to an investigation into a $130,000 (£106,000) payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, reports BBC News.Over the weekend, Trump announced on Truth Socialthat he would be arrested on “Tuesday of next week,” without revealing further context on why the arrest would take place.Speaking on his talk show, Corden jokingly said: “You know it’s bad when a former president announces that he’s going to be arrested and the general response is: ‘For which crime’?“So if you’re keeping track, that’s two times Stormy Daniels has screwed Donald Trump.” New York City has reportedly been bracing for a violent protest similar to the January 6 ‘insurrection’ riots, after Trump told his supporters to “take our nation back.”“Of course Trump is going to urge his supporters to protest in New York,” Corden continued. “Like what else is he going to urge them to do?.

Ted Nugent has urged supporters of Donald Trump to “remain peaceful” if the former President is arrested.Trump has claimed that he will be arrested today (Tuesday, March 21) on charges related to an investigation into a $130,000 (£106,000) payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, per BBC News.Back in 2016, Daniels offered to sell her account of what she claimed was an adulterous affair she had with Trump in 2006. It’s said that the ex-POTUS’ lawyer Michael Cohen subsequently paid her $130k to keep quiet.Should Trump be arrested, he would be the first US president to be indicted.Speaking a the recent edition of his news commentary series The Nightly Nuge, controversial US singer-songwriter and activist Nugent – who is an avid Trump supporter – told his viewers to “stand strong” and “remain peaceful” no matter the outcome.“Put on your truck light.

Ted Nugent has said Billie Joe Armstrong has “lost his soul” after the Green Day frontman claimed that he would be “renouncing” his US citizenship over the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade.Armstrong is one of many musicians who has condemned the reversal of the landmark 1973 ruling that protects a person’s right to safely terminate a pregnancy in the US.For the first time in nearly five decades, abortion will no longer be protected as a federal right in America.

Jimmy Kimmel clearly isn’t supporting Dr. Oz’s run for the U.S. Senate.

Ted Nugent has responded to Joan Jett after she hit back at his criticism of her being included in a list of the 100 greatest guitarists.Earlier this year, Nugent took issue with The Runaways legend’s placing at 87 in a list that was compiled by Rolling Stone‘s David Fricke back in 2003 (and was reposted online in 2010).“You have to have shit for brains and you have to be a soulless, soulless prick to put Joan Jett [in there],” Nugent said about the list in question during a YouTube livestream on December 30, though he later added that he also “love[s] Joan… ‘Put another dime in the jukebox, baby’ – great rock and roller”.He then sought to clarify his comments in another interview. “I started off by praising Joan Jett’s genuine shit-kicker, down-to-earth, all-American rock and roll credentials,” Nugent said. “I started off by praising her.

Neil Young has spoken out over a developing conspiracy theory that his music publishing is overseen by pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer – the company behind one of the most widely-used COVID-19 vaccines.In a since-deleted letter posted to his Neil Young Archives website (as transcribed by Stereogum), Young addressed the circulated belief his views on vaccines were dictated to him by Pfizer – who, according to the conspiracy theory, own Young’s music publishing.The misunderstanding stems from the fact that a former CEO at Pfizer now serves as a senior advisor for asset manager Blackstone, which currently has a partnership with music publisher Hipgnosis – with whom Young presently works.Young described the conspiracy theory as “clever but wrong” in the letter, while also quipping “so much for Pharm Aid” – a reference to both the common conspiracy theory trope of “big pharma” and his own charity Farm Aid.“The publishing share Hipgnosis has in my copyrights is in the Hipgnosis Songs Fund, that is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange,” Young explained.“The Blackstone investment went into a separate Hipgnosis Private Fund, and none of that money was used for the Hipgnosis Songs Fund. Pfizer has not invested in Hipgnosis, but a past Pfizer CEO is a senior advisor for Blackstone.” The conspiracy theory is part of an ongoing conservative backlash against Young – most recently expressed by right-wing American rock musician Ted Nugent, who described Young as a “stoner birdbrain punk” for his recent protest against Spotify and Joe Rogan.Young removed his catalogue of albums from Spotify last month to protest the platform having Rogan’s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience as an exclusive to the service.

As if things weren’t bad enough for the people working at Spotify following all the recent controversies around the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, now they’ve got Ted Nugent coming to their defence – and via the daily podcast he records for the pro-hunting lobby group he advises and represents. Lovely stuff.On Friday night’s edition of the ‘The Nightly Nuge’ podcast, Nugent’s co-host Keith Mark brought up how that Canadian Neil Young is again talking politics in the USA, before musing how a musician that has in the past spoken up for free speech is now pro-censorship.Which isn’t true, of course, but it was Young who instigated the artist boycott of Spotify over the COVID misinformation contained in Rogan’s Spotify exclusive podcast.Young and other artists who have spoken out about the controversial COVID conversations that have occurred on Rogan’s programme insist that they are not calling for censorship.However, they argue, platforms like Spotify have a responsibility to counter misleading information that could negatively impact on people’s health, and they’d rather not be associated with any platforms that aren’t fulfilling that responsibility.Asked what he makes of Young and his Spotify boycott, Nugent initially said some nice things about his fellow musician, but then added “the guy is a complete punk”.

Ted Nugent has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding Spotify and Neil Young‘s decision to pull his music from the platform.Young last month demanded that his music be removed from Spotify, asserting in a since-deleted open letter to his management that content like the Joe Rogan Experience podcast “spread[s] false information about vaccines”.The streaming platform obliged, later confirming that Young’s content would indeed be removed from the platform.The saga drew mixed reactions from the wider music industry, while many seemed to side with Young, including Joni Mitchell who also announced she would be pulling her discography from Spotify over its conduct surrounding vaccine misinformation, as did Young’s former bandmates Crosby, Stills & Nash, comedian Stewart Lee, Crazy Horse and E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren, and cult alternative rockers Failure, among others.Now, controversial right-wing rocker Ted Nugent has spoken out about Young’s decision, calling the ‘Harvest Moon’ singer-songwriter “a complete punk”.Speaking on his ‘Friday Free For All’ edition of The Nightly Nuge on Friday (February 11), he said: “Well, Neil Young, God bless him. I’m sure that there’s many people that appreciate Neil Young’s creativity and his talents and his creation of wonderful music for those people who love that kind of music.
