Motor City Mayhem to celebrate Ted Nugent's 6,000th live performance
Sparks seriously fly on Motor City Mayhem, the new live CD, DVD and Blu-ray release
from TED NUGENT, out June 30 via Eagle Rock Entertainment. Shot July 4, 2008 in front
of a house packed with a wildly enthusiastic crowd of thousands at the outdoor DTE Energy
Music Theatre in the Motor City Madman's hometown of Detroit, the disc documents the
celebration of Nugent's 6000th live performance, including guest appearances and a set list
of nearly two dozen Nugent favourites honouring his blues and soul roots. Of course, Ted is
already looking ahead to his 7000th show: "I'm having a camouflage electronic walker built
now." Says Ted: "The whole night was a barrage of wonderful, powerfully stimulating
outrages. From the gorgeous girl coming out of the cake, to the presence of my family and
friends, being surrounded by U.S. Military heroes during the National Anthem, to the power
of my band, the glow of the incredible audience, the spectacular performances by Derek
St. Holmes, amazing MITCH RYDER, drummer Johnny Bee, my original guitar teacher Joe
Podorsek on 'Honky Tonk,' to the earth moving as everyone sang every word to my
BloodBrother song 'Fred Bear.' It was nonstop mind dazzling intensity." Ted Nugent's
Motor City Mayhem tracklisting: 'Star Spangled Banner', 'Motor City Madhouse', 'Wango
Tango', 'Free For All', 'Stormtroopin'', 'Dog Eat Dog', 'Need You Bad', 'Weekend
Warrior', 'Love Grenade', 'Honky Tonk' (with Joe Podorsek), 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang',
'Baby Please Don't Go', 'Geronimo And Me', 'Jenny Take A Ride' (with Johnny "Bee"
Badanjek), 'Soul Man', 'Hey Baby' (with Derek St. Holmes), 'Cat Scratch Fever' (with
Derek St. Holmes), 'Stranglehold' (with Derek St. Holmes), 'Great White Buffalo', and
'Fred Bear'. (Courtesy of hardradio.com)

Def Leppard receives two CMT Awards nominations
DEF LEPPARD, one of a handful of select groups including THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN and
PINK FLOYD that have been awarded the RIAA's prestigious Diamond Award more than once,
have received two nominations for the 2009 CMT Music Awards. The group was previously
announced as performers on the June 16th broadcast along with the likes of KEITH URBAN,
RASCAL FLATTS, SUGARLAND, TAYLOR SWIFT and BRAD PAISLEY. "These are two of the
most unexpected nominations we've ever received...but we're very happy to get them," said Def
Leppard's lead singer Joe Elliott. "Being nominated for the first time, as it were, in this genre is
truly amazing. As for Taylor, it was an absolute blast playing with her and her band. It was one
of the highlights of last year." Def Leppard received their nominations for their performance of
'Photograph' with Taylor Swift from CMT Crossroads: Def Leppard and Taylor Swift, one for
CMT Performance Of The Year and the other for Wide Open Country Video Of The Year. "This
is a huge surprise to us," said the band's lead guitarist Phil Collen. "To be nominated for a CMT
Music Award, no less two, and to have the chance to work with one of the very best that
country music has in Taylor (Swift) reminds us of how grateful we are to be able to do what we
love the most - make music." (Courtesy of hardradio.com)
