Gonzo rocker and hunting buff Ted makes his feature film debut in Beer For My Horses. A comedy, it tells the story of Joe Bill "Rack" Racklin, an Oklahoma deputy sheriff who, along with his fellow deputies and their best friends, defy the local sheriff to embark on an outrageous road trip and end up matching wits with a Mexican drug lord. Produced jointly by CMT Films and Toby Keith and directed by Michael Salomon, the film hits theatres August 8, 2008.
While the feature
takes its name from Keith's hit song, the country star is quick to
point out that the movie’s is nothing like the video for the
song. "The movie is more of a comedy, a tip of the hat to Burt
Reynolds," Keith explained to the crowd of 40 or so journalists
who packed the film’s press conference. "I wanted it be 48
Hours meets Smoky and the Bandit." Writing the screenplay, he
added, "was something I
wanted to prove I could do. It was
one
of the most creative things I've ever done,
and I had great
time doing it."
Ted plays an officer of the law that has a bow and arrow —and isn't afraid to use it. He brings to life the character of Skunk Tarver — a longhaired, smartass, defiant, over gunned, rock-n-roll bow hunting deputy sheriff who’s dedicated to bagging bad guys. Ted made sure Skunk’s ammo was killer-quality, having him use both his MARTIN FireCat and his Sims DZ32.
During the film, Ted’s character shoots a stuffed donkey in the ass during a huge drug bust and zaps a few bad guys with arrows, including one very exciting flaming arrow, which utilizes the same technology that Ted uses when he fires off one of his signature Gold Tip Zebra Nuge arrows in concert.
When jumps, falls and leaps were a bit too much for Ol' Nuge, a professional stuntman, and fellow Michiganiac, named Dan did a grand job of capturing the spirit.
Keith and Salomon did all the casting, assembling a terrific group of actors that includes everyone from Claire Forlani, Barry Corbin and Tom Skerritt to Willie Nelson and Mel Tillis.
Keith, Rodney Carrington and Ted play the local authorities in Jackson County, OK where they raise hell with drug runners and bad guys. The plot goes into high gear after the do-gooders take a Mexican drug czar's brother prisoner. In retaliation, the drug cartel kidnaps Keith's character’s girlfriend (Forlani) and our good ol' boys suddenly find themselves war with the gangs in Mexico.
Toby and Ted bonded as BloodBrothers while on a USO tour in Iraq and Afghanistan with their American military heroes and subsequently the pair toured the USA together and became good friends.
"(Ted) is an incredible person," Keith said of working with Nugent. "He has a magnificent vocabulary; however, he can be as rude and crude as anybody who walks the earth." At one point, Keith added, a cottontail rabbit crossed the movie set. Nugent, who still had his crossbow in hand from the scene they had just finished filming, shot the animal and gutted it, right in front of all the Hollywood types there on location.
The film was made around Santa Fe and Albuquerque and whilst in the state of New Mexico, Ted got some fantastic footage that could very well appear in future episodes of his Spirit of the Wild TV show on Outdoor Channel. Ted was quickly hooked on the New Mexico’s beauty and now wants others to know about it. "New Mexico is probably in the top dozen states for out-of-state hunters to enjoy elk, mountain lions, turkey," he said. "It should be No. 1."

EUROPEAN ROCKTOUR 2008 -The Great White Buffalo Has Spoken by Ted Nugent
A sea of rowdy Spanish rock-n-roll
fans swayed en masse like a human wave of angry surf. Mostly they
were young men in denim and leather, many with long, black hair and
plenty of facial piercings to accent the macabre side of this thing
called Heavy Metal. Sweaty bodies against sweaty bodies proved their
dedication to their beloved musical dreams, and they were smiling,
laughing, dancing and clearly having one hell of a grand time. It was
beautiful really, except for the strange and painful shortage of
female fans compared to American audiences. Godbless America.
Thin
Lizzy, a killer band of world class virtuosos had just completed a
rousing set of classic songs, executed with animal energy by
legendary Arkansas drummer, Tommy Aldridge and the soulful
pyrotechnic guitar fire and amazing vocals of Whitesnake's John
Sykes. The crowd went wild even after a long, hot sun burning day in
central Spain. This annual Monsters of Rock festival attracted
hardcore rockfans from Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastian and from all
across the Spanish countryside for a rare shot at well known bands
from around the world. Waiting in the wings were Deep Purple, Twisted
Sister and the English band Saxon.
A
beautiful cloudless blue sky awaited the snarling R&B band from
Detroit, and I clenched my fist to perform our pre-concert ritual of
spiritual fist-punching with my ferocious Funkbrother bandmates Mick
Brown on drums and Greg Smith on bass guitar. Like young wolves
preparing for the hunt, we couldn't wait to mount the stage for our
nightly MotorCity Madhouse musical assault, knowing these foreigners
were dying to witness the ultimate soundtrack of freedom and
defiance. The enormous overpowered PA system was humming and
crackling with amped up electricity and my German soundman Frank knew
he was about to G-force the throngs into sonic hysteria. You want to
rock? I hope you can handle this full on real American rock my
friends.
We unleashed The Beast!
Owning
their souls with the definitive lovesong Wango Tango, the crowd came
unglued and danced like they were born again. The entire sea of
humanity had their arms up and fists clenched grinding to the Motown
pummel, and I could not have been happier. Mick's drums sounded like
dangerous thunder, Greg's bass like an industrial earthquake
permeating skeletons for miles around. And my effervescent Gibson
Byrdland guitar, well let's just say God was smiling at the ultimate
utilization of fiery tone from my hand carved Northern spruce hollow
body beast, delivering what can only be described as electric guitar
perfection. We throttled our Spanish friends beyond their wildest
dreams.
With ultra-tight,
energized performances of Free For All, Stormtroopin, Wang Dang Sweet
Poontang, KLSTRPHNKY, Love Grenade, Cat Scratch Fever, and
Stranglehold, the event was on the precipice of losing all control.
It was phenomenal rock-n-roll at its finest. We came back to unleash
The Great White Buffalo and I thought the huge crowd would dance
themselves into a puddle of foaming sweat and joy. As a musician, I
was genuinely moved to once again take part in such a consummate
shared communication of connecting music from my incredible band.
That would have been more than enough.
Then
it happened. With all the passion and fire I could muster, I sang the
spiritual lyrics of the defiant American buffalo overcoming
overwhelming odds, slammed the final chords of the song from my
gorgeous white Gibson, held my baby over my head, and I swear to God
the sky went from blue to black, a howling wind nearly ripped the
Lakota war bonnet off my head, the PA system began whipping to and
fro, and the entire stage began to shake violently. With our beyond
intense hour long set complete, and The Great White Buffalo
triumphant, my band and I were escorted off the stage amidst not only
a wildly cheering audience, but swirling debris and the beginnings of
big, scattered raindrops. We barely made it the 70 yards to the large
metal building when it struck. Violent winds tore the roof off the
stage, PA speaker columns and huge overhead lighting trusses broke
loose and smashed to the ground, a tsunami of hail rained down upon
everything and everyone as the scared crowd ran wild looking for
shelter from the storm. Amplifiers and band equipment were being
destroyed by wind and hail, and it was a sight to behold.
I
sat in my dressing room, glowing yet exhausted, with a towel around
my wet head listening to the hail smash on the metal roof and people
scrambling to save gear and themselves. It was wild.
Suffice
it to say, there would be no performance by the other three
headlining bands, all of whom traveled the globe to get here and
waited all day for their turn to rock. The stage was wrecked, the
audience dispersed into the hinterland, and the Monsters of Rock
festival was officially shut down.
Maybe I should look
into my dance moves while wearing the Indian headdress and singing
the Native American themesong of the defiant Great White Buffalo. If
that was a raindance I did, I should probably back it down a notch or
two. Maybe not. Hey Eruo baby, that's what we call American
Rock-n-roll, and don't you ever forget it.

TED NUGENT Ramps Up In 2008 Like Never Before - May 15, 2008 (Blabbermouth)
No
rocker embodies the "Spirit of the Wild" more than Ted
Nugent, and he's ramping up in 2008 like never before.
His
multi-cultural ammo: a new CD and DVD ("Sweden Rocks"),
http://www.eaglerockent.com/ecards/Nugent-Sweden/video.htm
http://www.eaglerockent.com/ecards/Nugent-Sweden/index.htm
book
("Ted, White & Blue: The Nugent Manifesto"), film
("Beer For My Horses") and concert tour ("Rolling
Thunder 2008 Tour").
There's
also Ted's new song "I Am The NRA", which he'll premiere at
the 2008 NRA National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky May 17-18
where's he's a presenter. Ted was recently re-elected for his fifth
term on the Board of Directors of the NRA.
Rock's
ultimate guitar frontman has just released an incendiary new live
album "Sweden Rocks" — recorded during his EuroBlitz
06 Tour at the Sweden Rock Festival — with the companion DVD
out June 10, both via Eagle Rock Entertainment.
His
latest book — comprising 10 chapters on how to fix America —
is titled "Ted, White & Blue: The Nugent Manifesto" and
is due in August via Regnery Publishing. Texas Governor Rick Perry
salutes Ted in the book as a "human tornado" and goes on to
say: "He lives life at mach speeds, boldly pouring himself into
matters deeply personal to him. His efforts to support U.S. troops
wounded in the defense of freedom and his selfless devotion to
children with life-threatening illnesses are just two indications of
the gentle heart that beats beneath the surface of this wild-eyed
warrior."
Ted
will make his feature film debut this summer in the film "Beer
For My Horses", which stars Toby Keith and also features Rodney
Carrington, Claire Forlani, Tom Skerritt and Willie Nelson. The film
will be released August 8, 2008 in movie theatres in selected cities.
Filmed on location in New Mexico, it follows the exploits of small
town deputies and best friends who defy the local sheriff to embark
on an outrageous road trip to save one of their girlfriends from
kidnappers.
As
he approaches his amazing 6000th gig this summer, Ted — whose
career spans five decades and multi-platinum sales exceeding 35
million albums — has announced a new concert trek that marks
his 50th tour. The "Rolling Thunder 2008 Tour" kicks off
June 7 and runs through Sept. 27, including a massive July 4 blowout
in his Detroit hometown at the DTE Energy Center. The itinerary
includes an array of concerts in Europe July 5-16. Backed by his
rock-solid bandmates Greg Smith (bass) and Mick Brown (drums), Ted
will roar through his classics (including his immortal
"Stranglehold", named the 1 guitar lick by listeners of
103.5 The Fox, Denver) and songs from "Love Grenade", his
35th album that was released last fall (Eagle Rock
Entertainment).
Meanwhile,
it's been another hit season for "Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild"
(airing on the Outdoor Channel), big winners in not just one, but two
categories at the 8th annual Golden Moose Awards. For the fourth
time, Ted and (his wife) Shemane Nugent were voted "Fan Favorite
Hunting Series," as well as "Fan Favorite Hosts" in a
celebration held by Outdoor Channel during the 2008 Shooting, Hunting
and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas.

Rest in Peace - Cliff Davies
Cliff Davies died on April 13 2008
Cliff Davies was a world class virtuoso and musical genius of the highest order. His special touch, talent and spirit permeated each and every one of my classics with not only his supremely soulful drumming, but also with his vocal guidance and arrangement creativity. As a live performer he was every guitarist's dream rhythm god, driving my high energy MotorCity R&B rock to its most soulful effect. His work ethic, dedication and always wonderful sense of humor played an enormous positive role in a very important time of my life. His friendship glowed with goodwill and decency. We have lost one of the greatest soulbrother Funkbrother BloodBrothers of alltimes.
In my music and in the wind, he's still alive.

SWEDEN
ROCKS BY TED NUGENT:
New York, NY
(April 3, 2008)—Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Sweden
Rocks by Ted Nugent on CD May 13 [pre-book date April 23, Retail List
Price $13.98]. The concert was captured at the 2006 Sweden
Rock Festival, featuring the singer/songwriter/guitarist with drummer
Mick Brown and bassist Barry Sparks. A DVD of
the show will be released June 10.
One would be
hard-pressed to name another intrinsically American Hard Rocker who
backs up his talk with surefire action like Nugent. His non-musical
pursuits have garnered as much ink as his hellfire rock'n'roll.
Outdoorsman, hunter, Conservative Political Activist, and
controversial spokesperson on behalf of The Second Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, Nugent epitomizes and embodies the ethic of the
outspoken pioneer taking on all comers in all matter of debates…while
still making damn sure to rock non-stop and without regret. Ted
Nugent is an American Original.
But it's his shotgun style of
guitar playing that has endeared him to his huge fanbase. And it's on
a stage where that pepper spray of staccato notes is best
appreciated. Although he has admitted to partial hearing loss due to
his close proximity to massive amounts of ampage, he still cavorts
about onstage like a man possessed. And his fans love it. In Sweden,
in 2006, he's still at the height of his powers and, if the reaction
from the crowd is an indication, he hasn't lost one iota of his
arsenal.
Nugent split from his Detroit band The Amboy Dukes after
their major hit (“Journey To The Center Of Your Mind”).
As a solo artist, he has racked up an impressive string of hit
singles and albums. With homes in both Michigan and Texas, he has
maintained his public role as a noted author, columnist, and
political activist while still selling over 35 million albums in his
career, also famous for playing the Gibson Byrdland guitar. The
Gibson guitar company has since named a model for him.
Tracks:
1) Stormtroopin', 2) Wango Tango, 3) Snakeskin Cowboys, 4) Free For
All, 5) Wang Dang Sweet Poontang, 6) Raw Dogs & War Hogs, 7) Soul
Man, 8) Hey Baby, 9) Dog Eat Dog, 10) Still Raising Hell, 11) Cat
Scratch Fever, 12) Stranglehold, 13) Great White Buffalo.

LOVE GRENADE TOUR REVIEW by TED!
Brutal. Ferociously animal brutal. There is no question nor debate that young Ted was a frightening force to reckon with. Godbless youth. However it is more than apparent that this oldbuck at 59 in 07 is delivering a more skeletal rearranging R&B&R&R hi-energy pummeling that would scare even youngTed. It is clearly at an alltime intensity in your city. Mick & Greg, like Clufetos, Sparks, Aldridge, Mendoza et al have perfectly zeroed in on THE BEAST of the groovefirehammer like never before in my outrageous muscial orgy career. Godbless the FunkBrother SoulBrother BloodBrothers all. Journey To The Center of Your Mind as an opener is unleashed funfury. An unprecedented throttlemaster Free For All is pure piledriver punch with our maxhumping the relentless unison powerpunch 16th note pedaltone hammer. Just insane. Weekend Warriors has a Motown meets maniac whiteboy garageband velocity to die for. Wango Tango is simply downright goofy in its inescapable hyperdance suckerpunch. The guitar!! Dear God THE GUITAR goes where Lewis & Clark wouldnt take Sacajaweah nekkid. Wang Dang Sweet Poontang proves that James Brown & his Famous Flames & Wayne Cochran & The CC Ryders & Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels are alive & well. Followed with a genuflection to blackness on Stay With Me blues celebrsatikon from Love Grenade galvinizes the races perfectly. THE GUITAR!! MTHRFKR! Baby Please Dont Go 50 years later with the incredible insertion of the tribal masterpiece Geronimo & Me from Love Grenade, may very well be our favorite musical adventure of alltimes. Outlando. RawDogs & WarHogs is the battlecry of freemen everywhere. SoulMan & Hey Baby are too black for my machineguns, Love Grenade & GirlScout Cookies are finally gettin the crackers to dance with some BBQ sauce on the greazyass twostep. Finally. Still Raising Hell celebrates the defiant human spirit like Rosa Parks with an M4, Need You Bad is so gd hyper as to defy catigorezation, then the almighty danger4 of FRED BEAR, STRANGLEHOLD, CATSCRATCHFEVER & GREAT WHITE BUFFALO, most demonstrably with flaming arrows & detonated Byrdlands is typically much much more than mere mortals can handle. What in God's name is it all? I know. Do you?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Backstage Auctions , a leading online auction company specializing in classic rock memorabilia, is proud to announce it’s first auction for 2005 featuring vintage memorabilia from the legendary career of Ted Nugent. The “Ted Nugent Gonzo Auction” will be held online starting May 15 and run through May 22.
Among the items being auctioned off are original gold and platinum album awards, stage outfits from the ‘70’s (including the loin cloth, coyote tail and Indian headdress), hunting gear and attire, a collection of stage and studio used guitars, rare photos, posters and tour documentation and Ted’s personally owned limited edition 1994 ZR-1 Corvette. “This is by far the most outrageous and diverse auction we’ve held,” explains Backstage Auctions founder Jacques van Gool. “The items span Ted’s incredible career and showcase his colorful persona on and off stage.”
Ted Nugent first came to prominence in the 1960’s when he was the lead guitarist for The Amboy Dukes. Their hit singles, “Journey To The Center of The Mind” and “Baby Please Don’t Go” made them one of the big bands out of the Midwest in that era before Nugent stepped out on his own as a solo artist. In the 1970’s a string of incomparable rock albums Ted Nugent, Free For All, and Double Live Gonzo, along with his biggest hit album and single Cat Scratch Fever, secured Nugent’s reputation as a legend and icon. In recent decades his politics, love for hunting and activism have become equally recognized as his musical accomplishments. His concerts sell out around the world and he continues to record and tour for his loyal and enthusiastic fans.
Backstage Auctions in it’s second year of operation has already built a reputation in the classic rock genre for the unquestionable authenticity and unique quality of every item being offered for auction. Last year’s auctions for former associates of Kiss, Motley Crue and for legendary rock producer Eddie Kramer were only a taste of the exciting upcoming auctions already in the works for the remainder of the year.
Nugent has just wrapped up a U.S. tour with Toby Keith and is preparing to go back out this summer. He personally selected every item to be auctioned off and explains, “My insane life of over the top rock-n-roll wild ground adventure has produced way too much cool stuff. The Uncle Ted American Dream Cup runneth over and I’m willing to share with my civilian public. First come, first served, but bring your spirit and attitude!”

Ted Nugent has told Launch Raido Networks that he is planning
on releasing a new album 2005.
According to Ted, he has worked up a batch of new material,
including songs with titles like "Bridge Over Troubled Daughter",
"Girl Scout Cookies", "Still Alive And Well" and "Funk You".
Nugent says that judging by the reaction of his band to the new tunes,
he can't wait to record them.
"Every musician wants to create that kind of throbbing,
angry, joyous rock-out," he said.
"And when I show my musicians these things, they just go nuts,
like it was the first time we heard the ROLLING STONES' record.
And that's pretty indicative to me. So I'm excited as hell about it."

“Surviving
Nugent” Challenges Seven Daring Souls To Take On Ted Nugent
NEW YORK,
September 8, 2003-He’s had the “Cat Scratch Fever,”
cured it
with a little “Wango Tango,” then retreated
to his own personal
frontier haven deep in the Michigan woods. He
lives off the land and
hunts its big game to nourish his own
family. Now, seven unsuspecting
souls have accepted an invitation
to enter and survive his all-terrain
universe for cash and prizes.
Premiering Sunday,
October 5th at 9:00 p.m. “Surviving Nugent” is a
two-hour
reality-based event that challenges not only the intestinal
fortitude
of the seven contestants, but also the image of the outspoken
rock
legend that many people believe is the real Nugent. The magic
seven
include a vegan, a gay man, a New Yorker who’s not afraid to do
a
little kissing up, a saucy sex kitten who’s not ashamed to
use all her
assets to get ahead, and a Michigan native who is sure
smelling sweet
will bring him success.
Fifty thousand
dollars and tempting prizes lay at the end of the
rainbow, but
before they reach that pot of gold they must get past the
“Motor
City Madman.” If the seven contestants pass his muster,
they
stay and move onto the next challenge. If they don’t,
the arrow head
snaps and they are sent packing.
For more on Ted
Nugent and the lucky seven of “Surviving Nugent,”
viewers
can log onto VH1.com
“Surviving
Nugent” was developed and created by series producers
Jay
Blumenfield and Anthony Marsh and is executive produced by
Alex Campbell.

DVD REVIEW by Jeb Wright of Classisrockrevisited
Rating:
5.0 out of 5
Fear not working hard and playing hard Americans.
The days of sweaty, in your face, greasy, gritty, bold, dangerous
and loud rock n roll are still alive and well and running through
the veins of Uncle Ted Nugent. A self-proclaimed "Rosa Parks
with a Gibson Byrdland guitar", Nugent refuses to sit down
in the back of the politically correct bus. The Motor City Madman
will only make music on his own terms and if you don't like that
then you can kiss his ass. Ted Nugent's first foray into the new
world of the DVD comes with a sonic bombast on his own
terms and rumor is that it can sterilize a buffalo at 50 paces.
Speaking of buffalos, the two-disc DVD starts out with
Nugent riding onstage atop of a real live one slobbering all over the stage
(the buffalo -- not Nugent although I think I saw a little drool
forming on the side of his mouth as well).
In his working man uniform of denim shirt, blue jeans and fox tail,
Sweaty Teddy takes control of the crowd with an
opening swoosh of feedback that sound like he is giving an elephant an enema!
The track listing is most impressive. "Paralyzed", "Stormtroopin'",
"Snakeskin Cowboys" and "Free For All" are blasted out in the first part of the set.
Basically all the classics minus "Wango Tango" are included.
What makes the DVD even more special are the hidden classic Nugent performances.
With a touch of your remote control you can go from the new millennium concert
and travel back in time to 1978 1979 or 1980
and catch Ted in his heyday performing "Cat Scratch Fever", 'Free For All",
"Motor City Madhouse" and Wang Dang Sweet Poontang."
It goes without saying that the guitar playing is mind-blowing.
Nugent commands control of his instrument.
The speed and dexterity he plays with are unequalled.
No one plays a lick like Ted Nugent.
The rest of the discs contain all of the Nugent classics including "Stranglehold",
"Yank Me; Crank Me" and Fred Bear."
There are plenty of extras as well including Ted
and his band at the Nugent shooting range,
Ted jamming at his managers wedding
and a black and white performance of the Amboy Dukes
performing "Journey To The Center Of The Mind."
Nugent attacked the making of this DVD with large doses of attitude;
mercilessness and sheer rock n roll delirium.
Full Bluntal Nugity is as much fun watch as it is to listen to.
This event comes highly recommended and receives the highest
rating Classic Rock Revisited gives.
Look for Nugent on the road with Kenny Wayne Shepherd
and ZZ Top throughout the summer.
