HEY I THOUGHT I WOULD GO AHEAD AND GIVE THIS QUESTION AND ANSWER THANG A SHOT! Enjoy! e-int for Rock Revival 1.)How does it feel to be back on the road touring again? NUGE- Im afraid you will have to use the deepest depths of your imagination to attempt to visualize but a sliver of the joys and excitement we experience every glorious summer when our tours erupt. Performing my killer songs with this killer band for these killer music loving audiences every night is an indescribable celebration beyond words. Each gig has a life of its own and the spirit and energy of each night is off the charts stimulating on all human levels and beyond. Lucky Lucky me!! 2.) ShutUp&Jam! is your first new album in 7 years. Did you have a lot of material stocked up to chose from? NUGE- My homelife is also beyond any dream come true. We live in TX which is clearly THE last bests place, so our freedom driven life is virtually exhilarating and fun beyond words. Hunting everyday with my incredible wife Shemane and our two awesome Labrador Retrievers is always jam packed with excitement and adventure. Such a down to earth, hands-on conservation lifestyle so thoroughly cleanses the soul and overcharges the batteries that each and everytime I grab a guitar, grinding, grooving, masterpiece guitar patterns and licks fill the livingroom and the songs simply cannot be stopped. I play everyday and therefor write new songs everyday, so there is never a shortage of new material. How cool is that! 3.) How did working with Sammy Hagar come about and what was the experience like? NUGE- Sammy & I come from the same American black soulmusic, blues, R&B&R&R school of authoritative high energy FUN music, so our threat to make killer music together was indeed long overdue. He is one of the alltime greats and his killer performance on this classic blues bases jam song is exactly what we both love. 4.) New album, new tour...is there any signs of slowing down for Ted Nugent? NUGE-My band, music and I will remain a force to reckon with for a very, very long time. I discovered the perfection of a smart balance life in my teen years, and fortify my very being with massive spirit juice every fall/winter hunting season. Clean & sober my entire life is the key. That being said, I am well aware of the reality of aging and will improvise, adapt and overcome as long as it is healthy for me to do so, but gravity will eventually catch up to me in my early 100s Im sure. 5.) Any big plans heading into the fall? NUGE-I attribute my happiness, career longevity, overall health and youthful craving for life itself and the music to the definitive balance in my life that my hunting, outdoor and quality family time I orchestrate every fall and winter between tours provides. Such a quiet, down to earth lifestyle literally cleanses my soul, clears my head, relieves my ears and fortifies my spirit. My life is literally perfect. There is no question that my 2014/15 hunting season will be the best ever. My Labradors told me so.
