AO: If you could only choose one hobby, would it be
the bow or the guitar? Why?
TN: I so love and crave making music, that it was in-
evitable that music would be my life, my avocation, and
my life-supporting vocation. Thusly, I so maniacally crave
and love my hunting, that it, too, was destined to be
much more than just a casual hobby in my life. Rocking
and touring full-time made me realize that the spirit and
stealth of my hunting lifestyle powerfully fortified the au-
thority of my music, and vice versa. The loud, high ve-
locity ferocity of my musical career set me up to
immensely value and ap preciate my quiet predator
stealth time beyond the sonic bombast of the concrete
jungle of my musical adventures. Like everybody I know,
I work as hard as I can humanly push myself, in order to
take maximum time to hunt. Eventually, the intensity of
my hunting celebration in the media ignited enough fires
to push me into creating a guiding and outfitting busi-
ness, Sunrize Safaris, and eventually create the number-
one-rated hunting TV show, our beloved Ted Nugent
Spirit of the Wild on Outdoor Channel. Now that, ladies
and gentlemen, constitutes one hell of a dreamy Amer-
ican Dream.

AO: What can we expect from Ted Nugent in the future? Anything new in the
works?
TN: Music is my life driving force and I play the living hell out of my guitars daily,
and as sure as the sun rises in the east, killer licks, ideas, grooves, patterns, and
songs erupt every time! My intense life has many priorities that keep me very
busy, but we all hope like mad to record some of these new masterpieces ASAP!
We’re touring nonstop right into the opening of hunting season as always, and
then we’ll be documenting how millions of American hunting and fishing families
still live off the land and represent the frontlines for real hands-on conservation
and true environmentalism. Then, if lucky, we will hit the studio to record a new
killer record next spring!
