TED NUGENT: “JOAN JETT I Love You. Don’t Get All Upset”



By loadedradio - May 6, 2022

Ted Nugent has replied to Joan Jett’s comments that she made about him during a recent interview with NME.

Jett was asked to respond to Ted’s declaration that Joan didn’t belong on a list of the 100 best rock guitarists published by Rolling Stone.




When Joan was asked in the interview to comment on Nugent’s claim that she shouldn’t be on the list, Jett said: “Neither should he.

“Is that his implication,” Jett asked, “that he should be on the list instead of me? Well, that’s just typical — it’s what I’ve dealt with my whole life, being written off. Ted Nugent has to live with being Ted Nugent. He has to be in that body, so that’s punishment enough.”


She added: “He’s not a tough guy. He plays tough guy, but this is the guy who shit his pants — literally — so he didn’t have to go in the Army.”

“So this,” Jett concluded, “is the tough guy who’s running around America, stirring things up against each other.”

Yesterday, Nugent responded to Jett’s comments during a YouTube livestream, saying (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “All I expressed in an interview on WRIF was how I love Joan and her killer rocking band. She’s got a great rocking band. Great songs. The best garage band maybe ever, except for maybe GREEN DAY. [I] love Joan — all I said is how I love her. But I used her as an example — along with Joni Mitchell. [I] love Joni Mitchell… People love that music. People love Joan Jett and Joni Mitchell. I love them. I expressed I love them. But she can’t be in the top 100 guitar player list — either of them. They play nice strumming guitars; they play nice guitars. I like it. They’re good. But top 100 before Rik Emmett of TRIUMPH? That’s a lie.

“Joan Jett, I love you,” he continued. “Don’t get all upset. She calls me a racist and [says] I’m jealous. I didn’t even mention that I should be on the list. Let’s pretend that I don’t play guitar. Let’s pretend I’m just a keyboard player, or maybe a gay conga player. I never mentioned my name [as being excluded from] the top 100 guitar list — though someone might. But Joan, would you just relax?

“Maybe the plastic has gone to her brain,” he adds, referring to Jett’s alleged plastic surgery. “I don’t know. I just didn’t think she was that stupid. I never said anything about how stupid she was. I didn’t think she was stupid; now we know how stupid she is.


“Joan Jett and Joni Mitchell cannot be on the top 100 guitar player list before Derek St. Holmes or Rickey Medlocke or Jimmy McCarty or Mark Farner. Certainly. Or Jared Nichols. Or Chris Duarte. This isn’t an opinion. There’s no room for an opinion here. I’m mentioning guitar players that are world-class monster virtuosos of undeniable musical authority and guitar prowess.”

Nugent went on to say: “How about — Paul Reed Smith is a better guitar player than Joni Mitchell or Joan. I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, guys, but your drummer, Joan, is a better drummer than I am. I shouldn’t be on the top 100 drummers list. All my drummers should be — all my drummers are amazing. [Laughs]

“But don’t you see what goes on? I guess they seek and accomplish the eternal terminal menstrual cycle — you know, the menstrual cycle that the governor of Washington and Oregon thinks that they should have tampons in the boys’ bathrooms. That’s where we are — you know that’s where we are. That’s not where we are, but it’s where they are steering our great country, our once-great country.

“So, Joan, just relax, honey. I love you,” Nugent added. “You make great music. But you’re not a top 100 guitar player. You must know that. Joni Mitchell, you must know that — I love you, Joni. But you’re in the top 100, maybe the top 20 folk singers, certainly. And Joan Jett would be in the… certainly Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and maybe the top 20 garage bands. THE AMBOY DUKES were a garage band, so that’s not a negative; that’s a positive. NIRVANA would be maybe number one garage band. BROWNSVILLE STATION number two. Joan Jett maybe number three. GREEN DAY maybe three and a half.

“See, I’m not knocking these people; I’m just telling you the truth. [Laughs] I didn’t know they were that stupid.”


Ted also commented on the allegation that he dodged the draft, saying: “No, I didn’t. I didn’t get drafted, but I didn’t dodge the draft. [In the High Times interview] I was telling a story about a drummer friend who shit his pants and I don’t know what else he did. It’s a funny story. Plus I gave the story to a writer — I’m being awfully generous with that term — for High Times magazine. You’re gonna have a serious interview with High Times magazine?

“See, they cling to these lies and hate ’cause they’ve got nothing else. Which is why they are absolutely helpless to debate me.”

Ted Nugent’s latest studio album, “Detroit Muscle”, arrived on April 29 via Pavement Music.

Yeah I didn't think the punishment fit the crime when Joan zinged him like that. That was deep and quite a big one! Basically telling the world that he is the opposite of who he makes himself out to be with all that Vietnam stuff. And if true, which apparently it is because HE said it, wow, that's odd that he did that and acts the way he is now (which I have no problem with). But all he said is she shouldn't be in the top guitarist category. Just like Joni Mitchell who beat EVH in some horseshit top-whatever-all-time-guitarists that Rolling Stone did over a decade ago. And she went "there." That was like Kramer's "I slept with your wife" comeback.

I didn't think he could come back with something good enough to stand his ground, but he did just barely by calling her "stupid," providing the reasons why, and kinda being right about it. Although he didn't address what she said about him so I gotta give her the W. Still out of line though. Probably hates him and his politics so she went over the top with it.

I even give him a pass on Vietnam. How long we gonna lord that over people? Duane shot Gregg in the foot to get out of Vietnam. "Foot shootin' party". Oodles of musicians skipped out. All those legendary acts of the 60's. How did they all escape it? Morrison comes to mind. They had their objections and connections..

[It's Mike]

Both of them sure are overly sensitive.

I was willing to go to Vietnam, but, I did not hold it against anyone who did not want to go, and, in necessary, fled the country, to avoid being sent there. I though it was a shit war, but, if Americans were over there fighting, I was willing to do my part to protect them from the air. So, in 1975, the US withdrew, and I would not have to go there, after all.

Draft dodging 101 was an art during Vietnam. I've heard all the stories many of them tragic. I told my dad if it was still going on when I turned 18 I was just going to join the Navy and clean toilets on some aircraft carrier. What a waist of life. In many ways Vietnam was like the Russians invading Ukraine. No threat to anyone.

[billy007]

yep, i have no quarrel with anyone that didn't want to go to Vietnam and did what they had to do to ensure it. Just another shameful chapter in American history, sending our young men over there to do nothing but die.

[DFVH5150]

All great points and I agree. Was just pointing out how she went a little too far saying that and how it's different with him because of his machismo image.
