Ted Nugent Duets I'd Like to See (hear)

My next study into the world of Ted Nugent deals with his performing with other showcase musicians or singers. Could you imagine if he had a twin? It would drive the Talaban insane WHILE THEY'RE in Afghanastan and the two Nuges blast their stereo assault from some remote Michigan farm.

Luckily for all ears involved, there is only one uncle Ted.

Now Ted has "duetted" with some unusual, unlikely, and other people before. The man has played with many greats and shared the stage showcasing his own wares. He used to do the battle of the guitars back in the '70's.

Let's look at some people he shared the stage or recording studio with during his career.

1. Michael Quatro (on 2 Quatro albums)
2. Meatloaf (on Free For All)
3. Mike Pinera (Guitar Battles)
4. Charlie Daniels (Jam sessions)
5. Rusty Day (when they were both in the Amboy Dukes)
6. Hawk Wolinski (in a band when young Ted lived in Chicago/Des Plaines)
7. Rick Derringer (on stage together)
8. David Letterman (on Daves show)
9. Tommy Shaw (when they were both in the Damn Yankees)
10. Mark Farner (on stage together at Marks concert)

And there were many more. Ted will play with anyone, but I would like to see these match-ups:

• Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper. This I have been waiting to see since I was a little tyke. Ted's guitar and Alice's vocals would blend perfectly. I'd love to see them make horror music as well, especially for halloween.
• Ted Nugent and master guitarist Jim McCarty. To hear Jim play the Stranglehold solo or Ted play a Rockets tune like Fast Thing from Detroit would be gold. If anything, whatever they play, it will be loud!
• Ted Nugent and Suzi Quatro. With Suzi singing and playing bass, it takes the Nuge History to a different level. If you've ever heard Suzi's version of Heartbreak Hotel, imagine that with Ted playing the guitar.
• Ted Nugent and Mark Lindsay. Yes! To hear Ted play Hungry, Kicks, and Baby Please Don't Go (Paul Revere and the Raiders songs) with Mark hammering out the vocals would be a dream.
• Ted Nugent and Don Brewer. It would be great to hear Ted play Don Brewer sung songs from the Grand Funk Catalog such as Walk Like a Man and We're An American Band.
• Ted Nugent and Uriah Heep. Give Mick Box a break and throw in some Nuge. Bird of Prey would be perfect.
• Ted Nugent and John Kay. Wow! Ted playing Born To Be Wild while John Kay belts it out for the millionth time. Steppenwolf, move over.
• Ted Nugent and Pat Travers. This will knock you out.
• Ted Nugent and Deep Purple. We must admit that a lot of Nugent sounds like Deep Purple. Can you imagine him doing Space Truckin with Ritchie Blackmore and the boys?

Well, those are the dreams of a strapping young lad who likes to see worlds collide, where you go to the record store and pick up a CD. On the Cd is the name Deep Purple, but a picture of Ted Nugent as he was on Tooth Fang and Claw.

We can only dream.
