Cat Scratch Fever?

Looks like another non-believer in what's going on got served.

Mid 70's was maybe the crossroad of R&R. A combination of great music/musicians and it changing with the times. Bands were incorporating more "visual"-Alice, Kiss....

Underneath Ted's persona is a real deal guitar player who along with Derek St Holmes, did a debut  album that stands the test of time. I lost interest by the time the thread title album came out.

Oh well, Ted will overcome Covid, and probably  start talkin the Ted usually does. I dig 1975  guitar Ted, but not political Ted.

Geez,

Glupson, I guess when one aligns with the orange guy, it's what you do-hook up with team players.

I'm glad I got to see Uncle Ted back when he was  the Motor City Madman(76). I'll just remember him by that.

Looks silly now, but when you're a teenage kid who just got an electric guitar, it's Beethoven's 5th! Ted was best having Derek St Holmes sing, and Ted just do the guitar gymnastics, and scream now and then like a mental patient.

"Looks silly now, but when you're a teenage kid who just got an electric guitar, it's Beethoven's 5th!"

Apparently, Smoke on the Water (you know by whom) was based on Beethoven's 5th symphony.

"Blackmore later claimed that the main power chord riff is an interpretation of inversion of Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven, and that "I owe him a lot of money"."

glupson,

That's a Jeopardy "daily double" fact. Bravo!
 Love reading R&R trivia.

Machine Head still gets a spin now and then. One of those albums that MUST be listened to LOUD.

"GREAT WHITE BUFFALO!!!"

articdeth,
This era of Ted might be his best outside of the Amboy Dukes.
Just before Ted decided he had to be even more Ted Nugent.
