One of the best compared to what?
How do you know its about Jones? Please post lyrics if you have them.
Ted Nugent was once involved in the formation of a 1980s "supergroup" that included a former member of Styx and a former member of Night Ranger. That really happened. In America. Some people actually bought their output too. I'm not lying. You can't make this stuff up. |

Having a hard time finding the lyrics. this is from memory:
He didn't believe in daytime
He didn't believe in night...
No one understood him
They just left him alone...
Death By Misadventure!
Let me go listen to the song. |

Having not heard the song in some 20 years I was surprised to see how close I was at the lyrics. Following is close as I could come, some of what I believe are Derek St. Holmes vocals, are difficult to make out:
You heard him on the radio
You seen him on the news
You see him on the tv
You heard him sing the blues
Welcome to this nightmare
He’s been through the mill
Death by Misadventure
The ace of overkill
He stayed awake to daylight
He didn’t believe in hell
He never saw the sun rise
He didn’t believe in wealth
He ?
He was a rolling stone
No one understood him
They just left him alone
You heard him on the radio
You seen him on the news
You see him on the tv
You heard him sing the blues
Welcome to this nightmare
He’s been through the mill
Death by Misadventure
The ace of overkill
Death by misadventure!
Death by misadventure!
Death by misadventure!
Obviously the line about "he's a rolling stone" and the title is where the original poster got the Brian Jones tie-in. My search showed about four threads on various boards where there was discussion about this being about about Brian. I also found one saying it was about Alice Cooper which doesn't make sense to me since he isn't dead.
I know Ted has A LOT of haters out there. I always liked the mid 70s albums though. I love the song Writing On The Wall with Meatloaf doing vocals. And please if you are going to trash that combination please listen to it first and give me an open-mided critique of the song along with it. Death By Misadventure has a cool solo in it that builds off a rhythm pattern in an interesting way.

Thanks, Tapie. That does look like an ode to Jones.
The Alice Cooper belief may stem from the "This is his nightmare" line. |

night ranger? or dream theater? or something like that - i remember they were one of the many big-hair videos i used to flip away from when i was a teenager checking mtv. i seem to remember one of those horrid power ballads coming from them, but i dont have any more specifics...
but you gotta give ted props for coining the phrase "poon tang." that will be in the lexicon for ever. |

I don't know the etymology of poontang, but you are giving this Nooge geek WAY too much credit in originality. At a minimum, black funk groups in the early 70s, like the Undisputed Truth who even had a song entitled as such, were using the word regularly.
The power ballad he inflicted upon us was called "Let Me Take You High Enough" or something similar. I don't think its possible to get high enough to actually listen to Nugent, and if he actually partied he might have a clue on that score.

Why are we having this conversation, anyway? Ted Nugent did NOT invent poontang.
GOD invented poontang.
