4.0 out of 5 stars Nugent's Greatest Achievement, March 8, 2003

By	JOHN SPOKUS (BALTIMORE, MARYLAND United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tooth, Fang & Claw (Audio CD)

Tooth Fang And Claw is billed as Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes, while other line-ups were simply The Amboy Dukes; this was just prior to his Epic Records solo career(and the same band minus Derek St. Holmes backs him here). Some of these cuts later appeared in live versions on Double Live Gonzo and remained staples of his live show. For me this is Ted's finest era. Nearly all of this album is a winner; well "Hibernation" maybe gets a little tedious and his cover of "Maybeline" is a little half baked, but basically it's all a good time.This is much more consistent than the Epic solo albums with the exception of Cat Scratch Fever which is pretty strong in it's own right.Most of his solo records aren't very good outside of the radio cuts. It seems my favorite Nuge material is all the stuff his mainstream fans have never heard. Along with Tooth... I recommend the also out of print CD Call Of The Wild and the live, earlier Dukes (never released on CD, I think?)Survival Of The Fittest.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I know what you're tryin' to say to me...", March 20, 2003

By	Jerry Fry (Freeman, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tooth, Fang & Claw (Audio CD)

If you're a Ted Nugent fan you should have this CD. There are some wild songs on this album that really "get down" but "Sasha" is probably the most mellow, beautiful song he ever did. "Hibernation" and "Free Flight" are instrumentals. Many of the songs here start with unforgettable guitar licks. "Lady Luck", the first song, starts out with the kind of sound you're going to hear on the entire album; Nugent playing with wreckless abandon. Rob Grange on bass deserves to be mentioned too. On "No Holds Barred" and "Hibernation" he just can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars An All-Time Classic, February 1, 2005

By	D. DEE "dwdcatalyst" (Winter Haven FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a GREAT Ted Nugent album - one album prior to becoming
famous as the wildman (who I've gotta admit I sometimes think
is a bit over the top...)

Anyway, I think this album is a bit longer on music and slightly
less on general bad-ass attitude. Great White Buffalo is
fabulous, but all of the songs are good to great. Memorable.
A couple are instrumental. But all of them are absolutely
cranking guitar-god genius.

I had this album on LP way back when, then on tape for the last
however many years that this album wasn't available.

Until today - when I'm absolutely gonna order a brand new CD!
