On July 21, veteran rock star Ted Nugent played a show at The Paramount in Huntington, New York. Rock group Pistol Day Parade served as the opening act that warmed up the stage for him.
His stage was graced by a large American flag backdrop. Nugent was accompanied by his three-piece band that included “Wild” Mick Brown on drums, Greg Smith on bass, as well as Derek St. Holmes on vocals and rhythm guitar.
He commenced his set with “Gonzo,” as the stage was graced in red and yellow lights, and he was greeted to a standing ovation.

On July 21, at one of our favorite venues, The Paramount in Huntington, NY, the one and only Ted Nugent ~ shredder extraordinaire, multi-platinum-selling music legend, balls-to-the-wall performer ~ proved once again in his five-decade plus career that he is all of those things and so much more…and that his stage show, musical skills, and inimitable, irrepressible, outrageous style make him nothing less than a force of nature.

I am writing to you in regards to the picture of Ted nugent, wearing the aboriginal head dress. I would appreciate if you would please take down the photo of Ted wearing the aboriginal head dress with a bow n arrow and gun in his hands …I find this very disrespectful and insulting to my cultural back round. I feel with Ted recent out burst of racism and the picture I stated with the head dress, that he is trying to convey aboriginals as he quoted ” unclean vermin”. I will not stand for this kind of blatant racism…Greetings from Tedquarters.
Mr. Nugent has a long history of working with a wide variety of Native American Tribes across our great country. He has never used the term unclean vermin to describe Native Americans. On the contrary, Ted has been an honored guest at many tribal meetings, has worked with Native American youth, and was humbled to be inducted into the Strongheart Society by the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapahoe Tribes.
Mr. Nugent served as the Keynote Speaker for Native American Fish & Wildlife Society National Conference in Anchorage, Alaska, as well as for The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians in Michigan, and we were proud to host Native American Dancers from the Grand Traverse Band as our special guests for a performance before a crowd of 15,000 in Detroit.
Ted was asked by tribal elders in Nebraska to instruct their youth in current methodologies of shooting with bow and arrow, which he cited as one of the most rewarding experiences in his lifelong career as an outdoorsman and hunter.
One of Ted’s most requested songs, Great White Buffalo, disparages the greed of the white man and sends a message of hope for Native Americans who revere Mother Earth and our natural renewable resources. (See the song’s lyrics below.)
Mr. Nugent wears the headdress as a sign of reverence, and deep respect for the Native American culture and traditions. So no, we will not be taking the photos down.
Best regards,
Linda Peterson
Assistant to Mr. Nugent
GREAT WHITE BUFFALO
WELL LISTEN EVERYBODY TO WHAT I GOT TO SAY…there’s hope for tomorrow if we wake up today. It happened long time ago in the new magicland, the Indian and the buffalo existed hand in hand. The Indian needed food and skins for a roof, but they only took what they needed, millions of buffalo were the proof. Then came the white man with his thick and empty head. He couldn’t see past his billfold, he wanted all the buffalo dead. So the Indians hid in fear, there were no buffalo to be found. The magic was missing, it looked like some kind of burialground. It was sad, so sad. But above the canyon walls, strong eyes did glow, it was the leader of the land, The Great White Buffalo! And he found the battered herd, and he lead them across the land, with the Great White Buffalo we can make a final stand. So listen everybody to what I got to say, there’s hope for tomorrow if we wake up today. With the Great White Buffalo! –Ted Nugent, 1971

Ted Nugent calls “Everything Matters” from his new SHUTUP&JAM! album a “grooving, classic R&B song.”
The song’s sepia-toned video, premiering at USA TODAY, gives fans a good, long look at the guitarist’s beloved Gibson Byrdland and his rhythm section, bassist Greg Smith and drummer Greg Brown. Derek St. Holmes, whose history with Nugent goes back to 70s hits like Stranglehold and Cat Scratch Fever, returns to sing lead.
Nugent says the song and its groove were inspired by R&B greats like Wilson Pickett, James Brown and Otis Redding, as well as Detroit-based rockers Mitch Ryder and Wayne Cochran.

Guitarist, hunter and American advocate Ted Nugent is certainly no stranger to the backwoods of northeastern Pennsylvania. In fact, a recent stop at Penns Peak in Jim Thorpe a few years ago became the setting for Nugent’s 2011 live CD/DVD Ultralive Ballisticrock. Folks around these parts know that when Uncle Ted’s in town (like he was last night at Penns Peak) – attendance is mandatory!

Ted Nugent has just released his first studio album in seven years, SHUTUP&JAM!, which features raging slabs of blistering blues-infused and hard-rock riffs. The record finds the outspoken right-wing rocker paying tribute to military heroes, touting the freedoms offered American citizens and declaring his love for good, old-fashioned barbecue, while also sharing his desire to simply keep rocking out.
Nugent tells ABC News Radio that all of his “musical dreams came true on this record,” because he had the chance to collaborate with some of his favorite musicians.

The album literally kicks off with the title track in a flurry of raucous riffs and a howl of feedback in the vein of “Wango Tango” from Scream Dream. Ted barks out the lyrics and lets rip with a frantic guitar solo at the minute mark. “Fear Itself” has an intense, brooding riff underpinning some hefty power chords bringing to mind “Tooth, Fang And Claw” from the Spirit Of The Wild album. “Everything Matters” is classic R&B and is the only song on the album with Derek on lead vocal. He has not lost his soulful range and hits the high notes with ease as Ted’s solos weave in and out of the choppy riffs.

Conventional wisdom dictates that you don’t stand next to Ted Nugent during a lightning storm. But what’s a billion volts when you can witness the Motor City Madman’s lightning-quick fretwork and over-the-top stage antics up close and personal? True, there may be a few people out there that don’t care for Uncle Ted’s politics. But none of electorate has ever complained about his electric axework.
