Tommy Emmanuel - Lewis & Clark 6.5/10
Metrosexual Aussie dad wanks around on guitar part 1. Shame there weren't any accompanying lyrics because the Lewis and Clark expedition is interesting stuff.

Team America - America, Fuck Yeah 7/10
It's difficult for me to downvote this troll choice, because I actually love ridiculously patriotic American songs for how over the top they always are, also I'm a lifelong Matt and Trey fanboy. "Fake tits! Fuck yeah! Sushi! Fuck yeah! Taco Bell! Fuck yeah!"

Ted Nugent - The Star Spangled Banner 2/10
I like Ted, but meh.

Tori Amos - Virginia 4/10
I've never understood her appeal. Her voice is very overrated.

Chuck Berry - Back In The U.S.A. 7.5/10
Ridiculously classic tune!

Johnny Winter - Dallas 8/10
"There's so much shit in Texas, you're bound to step in some."

Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles 7.5/10
Another classic tune, never been a huge fan of Dead Kennedys or anything but when they're good they're really good.

Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam 7/10
I love Nina Simone. Not one of her best tunes though in terms of performance.

Skeleton Crew - We're Still Free 7.5/10
This was very interesting, if I'm not mistaken that sample was a Ronald Reagan speech? Cool, need to follow up on this band for sure.

Frank Black - Los Angeles 6/10
Haven't heard this song in friggin ages. Wasn't this on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater or something? It's okay.



Somewhat disappointing playlist, this theme had potential. I'm not even very satisfied with my own pick. It was a rushed submission because I spent so long looking for a metal pick in confusion. Gah.

Tommy Emanuel - Lewis & Clark
I remember this guy from children's tv here when I was a kid. Nicely played. 6/10

Team America - America, Fuck Yeah
FUCK YEAH 7/10

Ted Nugent - The Star Spangled Banner
FUCK OFF 2/10

Virginia - Tori Amos
Not a fan of her really but this is nice enough 6/10

Chuck Berry - Back in the U.S.A.
Cool 7/10

Johnny Winter - Dallas
Good but nothing remarkable 5/10

Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles
Classic DK 10/10

Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam
I like some of her songs. This isn't one of them 4/10

Skeleton Crew - We're Still Free
I know Fred Frith from Naked City, and like Naked City this is interesting weirdo NYC experimental stuff. 7/10

Frank Black - Los Angeles
Not a fan of much of his solo stuff that I've heard, but this rules. Clip is awesome also. Shame about the sound quality. 9/10

 

[CiG]

Yeah, I know the sound quality isn't the most pristine, but boo fucking hoo, this is rock and roll you pusscakes.

I think people around here know me enough to know that this isn't the reason why I would ever downrate something. Just saying.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

It wasn't a creative or interesting choice. That's why I rated it low.

 

[Sirjack]

H.P l know you play geetar and l know you know l do...Nugent is a sloppy feedback king is all.
l love his older stuff but it was never groundbreaking or particularly brilliant. He can never rival the Gods of his day.

 

[Sirjack]

uh mate, l don't intend to fall out over music and that's a decent clip but,,,
Proved my point ....plays chords, a few licks,,,rudimental stuff..there's nothing special or new that Ted did. It's alright.
nothing more

 

[CiG]

Nothing wrong with a powerful "sloppy feedback" guitarist. Energy > technicality.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Tommy Emanuel - Lewis & Clark
6.5/10

Team America - America, Fuck Yeah
6.5/10
Demerits for not muting the clips used for the video.

Ted Nugent - The Star Spangled Banner
6/10
Points for not being 9 whole minutes of nothing but variations on the Star-Spangled Banner, like I worried it would be.

Virginia - Tori Amos
7.5/10

Chuck Berry - Back in the U.S.A.
5.5/10

Johnny Winter - Dallas
6/10

Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles
9/10
Fun fact: I once mistook the line "Your kids will meditate in school" for "your kids will never date in school," which doesn't really make sense when you're trying to paint the picture of a hippie dictatorship.

Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam
5/10

Skeleton Crew - We're Still Free
8/10

Frank Black - Los Angeles
8/10

 

[Sirjack]

Maybe my choice of words were incorrect, lm saying that in the world of geetar masters he's over-rated. It could of course be just me. He never really turned me on the way some of the 70's Gods did.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I knew that there would be an argument over some redneck music in this round.

 

[Sirjack]

good for you

 

[Sirjack]

l see plenty of 'my' hero's seemingly underrated as well like Lenny White, Bill Connors, Holdsworth, Skyhooks Dixie Dregs, But they , like Ted are celebrated in their own right. From the outside looking in Ted's a fanatic. He's a bit of loony (a bit full on) and he probably scares yo mama. He's still shit tho.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Ted Nugent, redneck music? Please tell me you're not fucking serious.

He's definitely a redneck. So much so, in fact, that he wears Confederate Flag shirts even though he was born in Michigan. It's obvious what his target demographic is, which is further enhanced by the many racist posts that he's made online.

Didn't he recently wind up getting in trouble with the NRA for being a racist too?

12. Nugent On Homosexuality: "How Can We Offend Guys That Actually Have Anal Sex?" During a 2000 interview on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes:

I got to tell you, guys that have sex with each other's anal cavities -- how can we offend guys that actually have anal sex? Don't you think that might offend some of us who think that's despicable?" [Hannity and Colmes via Nexis, 6/29/00]

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Ted Nugent said that Native Americans are "unclean vermin" because a show on tribal land got cancelled and then he tried to backpedal and apologize by claiming that he has a history of working with Native American tribes.

He also called black rappers "uneducated greasy black mongrels" in an interview about MTV.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

None of what you said is convincing proof against what I already posted, friend. He looks and acts like a redneck and I will continue to believe that he is.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Ted Nugent respects black people so much and he always makes this abundantly clear.



NUGENT: You know how many times I've watched MTV? Once in my fucking life.

BOB MACK: You got to be on top of these things.

NUGENT: I don't have to. You know what I'm on top of? I'm on top of a real America with working hard, playing hard, white motherfucking shit kickers, who are independent and get up in the morning.

MACK: Aren't there any blacks?

NUGENT: Show me one. Show me one.
