Sometimes You're Going to Get Higher
" If there ever was a song which represented America's take on heavy metal in the 70's, it had to be "Stranglehold," the iconic monolith (or loin cloth?"), that stands ten miles high in the world of heavy metal. 5 Stars = Masterpiece

I've been a Ted fan since 1975; it started with his first self titled release from Epic Records, "Ted Nugent, which features the immortal "Stranglehold. Many was the time I'd be partying & speak the immortal words, "Sometimes your going to get higher/Sometimes you gotta start low/Some people think they're going to die some day/I got news you never got to go. " Yep, Uncle Ted had my ear drums wrapped around his guitar, & I loved every note. Of course their were other iconic songs on "Ted Nugent," who could forget "Queen of the Forrest," "Stormtroopin'," "Hey Baby," with its snaking guitar line, Motor City Madman," Just What the Doctor Ordered," & the killer "Snake Skin Cowboys. " Man I love this album! "Ted Nugent" was the epitome of American heavy metal in the 70's, a little bluesy & a whole lot of ballsy! The music contained within this album was as wild as the Nuge's reputation & stage antics; it just rocked my world, back then, & call me nostalgic, but even today. One of three essential Ted Nugent albums!

the better half of ted nugent X2
If you're a big fan, look for the set to see if it's a better deal than buying this album alone. I got this album as part of a two album set called X2:Ted Nugent/Cat Scratch Fever and it was way better than Catch Scratch Fever part of the set. Originally released in 1975, this version has 2 live tracks that are amusing. In the beginning of a live track he's like thank you thank you and he does the same exact greet in one of the 2 live tracks on Cat Scratch Fever. What I found refreshing was the unedited nature of the albums, especially Cat Scratch Fever where he mentions P*ssy twice and other synonyms. Of course, if you're offended by such things, why are you listening to Nugent?!

The singer himself is an interesting personality, being something of a conservative unlike most rockers. You can read the story on Wikipedia. He is very into hunting and archery and has a very active public life. It's amazing how many times he's been on reality TV.

"Strangehold" is easily my favorite track on the album, followed by "Hey babe" and "Where Have You Been All My Life". In "Where Have You Been All My Life", he's like where have you been all my life? I'm looking for a wife. My favorite line in the song is "all you naked women running round in my head". He definitely seems a little preoccupied with sex, but what male isn't. The three biggest compelling things in life are wine, women and song, or in modern time, sex, drugs and rock n' roll. So he's combining 2 of them, although the singer has personally taken a big stance again the wine/drugs part of the equation.


the nuge,s best 1975,s ted nugent.
stranglehold alone is worth getting the album for. this may well be the best record teddy ever did. however there is a few other classic cuts here as well such as; stormtroopin,hey baby and just what the doctor ordered. if you are a fan you might want this!.


A(+) Rock Solid debut
This album just screams of guitars. . holy cow. Track one Stranglehold is just 8 1/2 minute of scorching guitars. Also here are current concert staples Stormtroppin', the Detroit soul Het Baby, Just What the Dr. Ordered, Snakeskin Cowboys, and Motorcity Madhouse. If you like guitar rock ala the first Montrose or Trower's Bridge of Sighs then this is for you.


Very poor quality recording with truly terrible music. Please stay away from this
'Stranglehold" is indistinguishable from the rest. THIS CD SUCKS!

I don't care who may or may not agree with me, but if you want the truth: stay away from this CD! EVERY SONG sounds the same. Ted Nugent uses a solo in only 2 songs and theyr eally, really are terrible. Please, save yourself the MONEY, if you *[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[MUST]]]]]]]]]]]]]* ABSOLUTELY MUST listen to this record, download it. Don't support the record company, don't support this sucky musician, and don't spend your hard earned money on this bad album. it is terrible. I bought it for only 2 dollars and 6 cents and I lose sleep at night to the day because of the 2 dollars I lost. It's that awful. it's not worth a cent, please avoid buying this.
