Ted Nugent: Sweden Rocks
Companion to the rather iffy-sounding CD, this is visual testament to his gig at Sweden Rock several years ago. As you would expect with Ted, who is rather good at taking care of his fans, there is plenty of bonus material on here like three extra lives tracking including the Amboy Dukes "Journey to the Centre of the Mind" from Ted's pre-solo days. There are interviews from the recording of the album "Love Grenade"; his latest return to form.
As it's Ted you also get "Bow Hunting with Ted" and "Ted on the Gun Range" just in case you thought he had become some mellow vegan. Of the two releases, I would recommend this DVD over the CD. This is a far better testament to what is Ted Nugent.
Well, that is your lot for the week (ish). I shall be promptly diving back into the pile of stuff kicking around the house. Oh, one last thing before I go. It's a single release from a decent New Zealand reggae band called Fat Freddy Drop and its called "The Camel". They are releasing it to celebrate their tour of the UK.
As always be careful out there and check out your local live scene.

Concerning Arnel being a dead ringer for STEVE PERRY. Try listening and watching a live performance by both and you will see that he is not a dead ringer. Having seen Steve Perry years ago and having seen the "NEW Journey" this past weekend, Arnel can't begin to match the way Steve sings with his body and soul. Arnel was a great showman trying to please everyone. He has his English down much better and their performance made for an enjoyable evening. But there will never be a better front-man for Journey than STEVE PERRY. Who cares if he doesn't run around the stage or possibly can't hold the notes as high or long. Hopefully he will be putting out some new music soon for us to enjoy.

"a DVD of a live show at the House of Blues"
To the author, for your information since you did not watched the credits part of the DVD. That live DVD was taken last March 08 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas!

I agree that Arnel is not a dead ringer for Steve Perry for he has his own style. He may sound a bit like Perry and most of time better (since Perry cannot hit the high notes anymore). Arnel has showmanship, powererful pipes and he is so charismatic. He is humble in hiw way and accepts all criticism with a smile.

BD, you are still living in the past. You should open your ears and mind and admit that Arnel is much better than your Steve. Why can't you adapt to change?
