And when I found out that Ted didn't do drugs...I was sort of disappointed. He went from being a "wildman" to sort of geeky to me. But I quickly forgave him when I had to learn the solo on Stranglehold in our band.
I was much more disappointed when my band was playing The Treehouse lounge in Hallandale, Fla. in 1984 And sitting up front watching us play was a big table with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Quiet Riot.
The Treehouse was the favorite hangout for metal bands in Ft. Lauderdale back in the 1980s.
I was on break and went to the bathroom when Rob Halford came in and took the urinal next to me. He looked over at my dick and made a sexual comment about what he'd like to do!
I was SHOCKED! I spent the next decade trying to convince people that Rob Halford was gay. Nobody believed me until he finally came "out".
Now THAT was a bit of shock to the system! lol

Great story
I vaguely remember The tree House. I used to go to a big rock club in Hallandale that was just off the east side of 95 and you could see it from the exit ramp. Can't remember the name though. Also used to go to The Other Place in Miami for drink and sink night.
That whole stretch was an awesome place to party up until the cocaine cowboys took over.
As far as Ted Nugent goes, I learned more about him in this thread than I've known since I used to listen to his music on the eight track player in my first car. Those were some killer times.
