Knock, knock...Who`s there, back in full swing, rocking his American heart out? It`s Uncle Ted Nugent!! Holy guacamole, what a great way to return... Ted Nugent, 53 by now, is one of those US guitar rock legends you recognize by his playing. After the band project Damn Yankees (soon re-joining!) Ted layed low for a while musically wise but when KISS invited the Detroit `Motorcity Madman` to join them on tour as a very special guest he jumped on the bandwagon and toured the USA extensively for 140 dates in 2000. Ted recruited Marco Mendoza and Tommy Alridge (in or out Thin Lizzy?) as the rhythm section and after hearing `Full Bluntal Nugity` it is clear to me that all of those gigs must have been a fuckin` party to remember! Several Nugent classics still rock so damn fine today; `Paralyzed`, `Wang Dang Sweet Poontang` ("dinner music for my friends" -KISS), `Free For All`, `Cat Scratch Fever`, `Stranglehold`, `Great White Buffalo` and ofcourse Ted`s tribute to his hometown `Motorcity Madhouse`, they are all there.

Nugent became also legendary with his mouth, his rock`n roll speeches and he still got that too...The album features a full show; no overdubs or cuts, the whole show; a great Rock `n Roll party.
