Multi-platinum guitar icon TED NUGENT is featured in a new interview with Metal Express Radio. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Your first live album Double Live Gonzo is considered to be one of the great live albums of all time. How does your new one stand up against this?

Ted: "It deserves a place right up there next to it. No doubt about it. I thought the live Swedish concert we did a few years ago was killer. Intensity in Ten Cities was all brand new songs recorded live. You`ve got to admit that I have the greatest album titles in the world. Live Gonzo, Intensity in Ten Cities and Ultra Live Ballistic Rock you just can`t beat those. I just love the music and don`t scrutinise anything. I know that what we do is so sincere and passionate and we dedicate all of our energy, heart and soul to make sure it’s the most professional, accurate and real world representation of the show that we do. I don`t go back and second guess anything as I know Double Live Gonzo had moments of infamy but then so did the later live albums. What we did on my 6000th concert a few years ago in Detroit that live album is just outrageous and I love that one as well. With the current one with Derek returning to sing those classic songs and with the energy from Mick and Greg we knew we just had to capture it and share it with people. Live Gonzo is a classic album and I think Ultralive Ballisticrock is right up there with it. I`m very proud of it."

Nugent released Ultralive Ballisticrock - a new 2 CD+DVD release available in three formats (2CD+DVD deluxe edition digipak, DVD/Blu-Ray and digital download) - on October 22nd via Frontiers Records. The live footage was captured and recorded by 7 cameras in 5.1 audio mix on the I Still Believe Tour at Penn's Peak on August 14th, 2011.

The lineup on the album consists of the legendary-and-still-raging Nugent on guitar and vocals, Derek St. Holmes (rhythm guitarist and the voice on 'Stranglehold') on guitar and vocals, Greg Smith (RAINBOW) on bass and Mick Brown (DOKKEN) on drums. The setlist is killer (see below), packed with the songs that forever changed the face of rock, and the performances are razor sharp and electrifying, adding up to a sonic and visual extravaganza that’s not to be missed.

Says Nugent, “To be surrounded by such world-class passionate virtuosos is every musician’s dream and I live it every song, every concert, every night, every lick, every tsunami of soul sweat. You dogs deserve me!”
