Legendary musician Ted Nugent is now past 6000 performances in his music career. The Motor City Madman surpassed the mark with a hometown gig in Detroit July 4th. “When I heard that Ted was celebrating his 6,000th gig, I thought they were talking about his new hard drive,” laughed Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, who called Nugent “the hardest driving rock star there is today.” Country superstar Toby Keith added, “The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame loses credibility every time you do another ass-kickin’ concert.” Nugent’s Damn Yankees cohort Jack Blades adds, “Just who does this Ted Nugent think he is? In the ‘70s, the critics wrote Ted off after The Amboy Dukes, but they forgot to tell Ted. Here we are, 2008, his 6000th show and he still is pissing people off.” Dee Snider, Lemmy Kilmister, Criss Angel, and Rob Zombie drummer Tommy Clufetos were also among those offering testimonials about the iconic rocker.
