If you havn't experienced a live Ted Nugent show, you need to put that on your list of "things to do" if you claim to be a true fan of Rock. Yes, I know his politics are a bit extreme, but so are many other artists that you probably listen to so just chill out and appreciate the music. Now, back to my original statement, if you havn't seen the "Nuge" live, this is the next best thing. "Sweden Rocks" captures the raw intensity of Nugent and his band, which includes Barry Sparks on bass and "Wild" Mick Brown (Dokken) on drums. The threepiece is about as tight as you can get, Sparks and Brown hold these classic songs up to a new level, and Nugent is well... Nugent.

Often Ted Nugent doesn't get credit for his guitar playing. If you hear him live you'll have a completely new respect for his blues-laced heavy rock style. To sing AND play like he does takes a real talent, one that only Nugent can deliver. He tears through classics like "Wango Tango", "Dog Eat Dog" and "Cat Scratch Fever" on his way to the gigantic jamming "Great White Buffalo". He throws in a few new tunes like "Raw Dogs & War Hogs", but generally sticks to the songs you want to hear, the hits from his hey-days.

Nugent truly is one-of-a-kind, we will NEVER see anything like him again because the diverse music scene has splintered and live music isn't appreciated like it used to be. Plus we have video games, the internet and a million other things to occupy our time. I do reccomend taking an hour or so of your precious time and listen to a true legend at his best, Sweden truly does Rock!
