Ted Nugent has a role in Guitar Hero IV

Ted Nugent had something of interest to say regarding fans of the Guitar Hero franchise. During a recent radio interview, The Nuge dropped the bomb that he has been working with the folks behind Guitar Hero IV (he doesn't exactly say it's the fourth installment, but we're pretty sure he isn't talking about Guitar Hero Aerosmith) and will be featured in the game. You can hear it all right here (around 12:30 is when he starts talking about it).He had a lot of things to say about the whole mo-cap process, as well as his inability to actually play the game, despite his ability to set real frets on fire. Our favorite part of the interview? He said he had to do "a variation of Stranglehold." Man, we love that song.
In fact, let's go ahead and embed it past the post break. Rock out with us, won't you?

Well I'm not gonna be buying that game.
Ted has become a right-wing wacko:

By buying the game I'd be supporting him. No thanks.

If by Right Wing Wacko you mean a conservative / libertarian, then yes. If by Right Wing Wacko you mean a bible-thumper, then No. You should watch out for bible-thumpers, but conservative / libertarians are friends to you and me.

No, rocketboy, he's a right-wing wacko who threatens presidential candidates. At a concert, while holding a gun, he yelled, “Obama, he’s a piece of sh**. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary, You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.”
A wacko, not to mention a vastly overrated rocker. He doesn't have the excuse that he took drugs.

Why are the purveyors of a successful franchise allowing has-beens to glom on to their rising star?
Guitar Hero IV will not be made more attractive by the inclusion and influence of washed-up hacks.

They let them so they don't have to pay them squat.

Oh noes! He showed distaste for people who he didn't like! Run for the hills! What a meanie! Doesn't he know that words hurt?
If you believe that they were real threats, then you're more of a wacko than you think that he is. I'm not saying he's the most personal guy around, but I'd rather have him running things than a lot of other people...
If course, I like people who think that not only should I keep my money, that think that I have the rights to do what I want to do, as long as it does not interfere with anyone else's rights.
What's so wacko about that?

Even though this has been said a billion times before my instruments will not work for Rock Band in Guitar Hero and vice versa.
I really don't care who's the virtual avatar is I just want to not have eight drumsets to play each game on. Especially when they are pretty damn similar.
I think it's neat though if he's in it. I'm not a fan of Ted Nugent I thought his reality show on Vh1 was horrible. But it makes me wonder who else will be a boss character in GH4.

I wonder if fcuk Ted Nugent will be a playable song in this one
