JOAN JETT Blasts TED NUGENT: “He Isn’t A Tough Guy. He Is The Guy Who Sh*t His Pants”
Ted Nugent has once again stirred controversy, this time by criticizing rock icon Joan Jett after Rolling Stone included her in its “100 Greatest Guitarists” roster.
Reacting to Nugent’s critique in a recent NME interview, Joan Jett dismissed his insinuation that he deserved a spot on the list over her, stating:
“Neither should he. Is that his implication, that he should be on the list instead of me? Well, that’s just typical — it’s what I’ve dealt with my whole life, being written off. Ted Nugent has to live with being Ted Nugent. He has to be in that body, so that’s punishment enough.”
She added:
“He’s not a tough guy. He plays tough guy, but this is the guy who sh*t his pants — literally — so he didn’t have to go in the Army.”
Jett concluded, emphasizing Nugent’s facade:
“So this is the tough guy who’s running around America, stirring things up against each other.”
Nugent had previously expressed his dismay to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, questioning the magazine’s selection process:
“So I just mentioned some killer, monster guitar players, huh? Some of the best that ever lived. But when you see the Rolling Stone magazine list of greatest guitar players, they list Joan Jett but not Tommy Shaw.
“How do you list the top 100 guitar players and not list Derek St. Holmes?”
“How do you do that? You do that by lying. The same way you get Grandmaster Flash in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. You do that by lying. You have to be a liar. You have to have sht for brains and you have to be a soulless, soulless prick to put Joan Jett… [I] love Joan. Some of my greatest memories include lsbians. I love the l*sbians; it’s a cocktail of wonderment. [I] love Joan Jett — ‘put another diamond in the jukebox, baby’; great rock and roller — but as a top 100 guitar player, but you don’t list Rickey Medlocke or Dave Amato [REO SPEEDWAGON]. Really? Or Dick Wagner? Dick Wagner and THE FROST from Detroit. Or Mark Farner? Mark Farner from GRAND FUNK RAILROAD. Joan Jett is on the list but not Mark Farner? Grandmaster Flash is in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame but not GRAND FUNK RAILROAD? [Laughs]
“By the way, if Grandmaster Flash is in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and Joan Jett is on the list of top 100 guitar players, then I’m Caitlyn Jenner‘s boy toy.”
