Great White Buffalo is such a cool song. Was there ever a studio version of that one? I only remember the one on Double Live Gonzo.

earlnash, Saturday, 26 July 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, there is a studio version! It's on one of the two records he did for Zappa's Discreet label (billed as Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes), before he jumped to Epic for his self-titled solo debut.


1. "Paralyzed"
2. "Great White Buffalo"
3. "Homebound"
4. "Free For All"
5. "Scream Dream"
6. "Motor City Madhouse"
7. "Weekend Warriors"
8. "Stranglehold"
9. "Hibernation"
10. "Hey Baby"

Yeah -- it's on "Tooth, Fang & Claw" when the act was still
Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes. "No Holds Barred" is something from
that record you might also enjoy. Average version of "Maybelline"
is included, an instro -- "Hibernation."

anybody catch him earnestly commending Mariah Carey on VH1? First time I ever heard him say a positive word about anybody.

Well, I can only speak for myself - I purposely didn't include any Amboy Dukes stuff on my list. I have those records filed under 'A'. I mean, ok, I included "Great White Buffalo" by Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, but I avoided picking from the earlier incarnation. Heck, he didn't even write "Why is a Carrot.."!

...that said, "You Talk Sunshine, I Breath Fire" is one of my all-time favorite psychedelic era songs!

i always enjoyed "Fred Bear", since you do get a heartfelt feeling from it, a sensation which isn't the most common from most Nuge tracks.

Kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I never heard Spirit of the Wild, but I really want to. It is any good? I've been waiting to find it in some cut-out bin for like $3...

Mr. Diamond (diamond), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

"Is it"

six years pass...

spent the last few days revisiting the three Amboy Dukes albums on Mainstream ... Holy CRAP! are they insane

totally great psych, totally insane guitar courtesy of Tedly, but more importantly, this whole band was just so AMBITIOUS .. i can't believe cuts like and "Scottish Tea", and John French was one HELL of a singer, seriously this kid had chtuzpah, love him so much .. whatta frontman

Just unreal how good the Amboy Dukes were. I dunno. They should almost be up there with Love and The Doors in my opinion.

"The Lovely Lady" from their first s/t album is up there with tracks like "Alabama Bound" by the Charlatans, or "Girl in Your Eye" by Spirit, or "Lemonaide Kid" by Kak as the most brain-melting psych tracks of the era. god damn.

John French was one HELL of a singer

John DRAKE, surely, not Drumbo!

Ever heard Marriage on the Rocks/Rock Bottom? I've owned the Mainstream and Discreet recordings but not the Polydor stuff in between.

I used to try to defend the Nuge. Stormtroopin' (Live at Hammersmith '79 version) was one of my favorite jogging songs. He's a hell of an axe slinger. But I can't make time for this dude no more.

The guy is a massive douche but had some great songs that hold up extremely well now. When i saw him in concert last year he thankfully didnt foul up the air with any political rants.

Prince Kajuku (Bill Magill), Monday, 24 February 2014 21:12 (twelve years ago)

Funny thing is that, to this day, he'll still heap praise on the MC5, who were probably his worst nightmare: commies who blew him off the stage.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 24 February 2014 21:18 (twelve years ago)

Ugh, I don't follow the news very closely (okay, much at all) so I didn't know what he said last month about Obama until I just Googled him. What a freaking loser. I feel bad and a little queasy for focusing even a little bit of attention on him.
