American guitarist Ted Nugent revealed that he would like to tour around the world again, but he thinks it would be harder now due to his age. The 71 year-old musician talked about the matter on the podcast "Behind The Vinyl". Ted Nugent said about touring around the world: "I wanna tour around the globe. I miss England and Europe. I've never been to Australia. I miss touring around the world, but a good man knows his limitations. I've gotta tell ya, it would be a miracle if I ever tour other than the United States ever again. There's a good chance of Canadian dates, 'cause it's nearby, but I just don't have the energy or capabilities of that damn flight. It beats the shit out of me." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghv-a596-lY "I went to Okinawa to play for the marines, and it took me three or four weeks to get really healthy again… I think it's just age. That long flight — I can't sleep on an airplane. The first thing to go to terrorize your immune system and your health is lack of sleep. So, again, I know what my limits are, and I'm not taking any drugs to mitigate those conditions. I'd rather just eat back straps. "So I think if somebody wants to hear the greatest killer music in the world, they have to come to the United States and watch me and Greg [Smith, bass] have the time of our lives. It's very, very, very celebratory." The musician also said he is working in an new album: "I'm about to make some new music," he said. "I have unleashed new songs that are just insane wonderful, and I'm gonna go in the studio here at some point — maybe after the pandemic — and capture these new songs. And they are stone-cold motherfuckers." "I've got a new song called 'Just Leave Me Alone'… I've got a new song with another guitar lick that is like 'Just What The Doctor Ordered' meets 'Stormtroopin'' meets… I don't know… meets 'Long Tall Sally'. My life comes out in guitar patterns that are excitable, and the Chuck Berry, Little Richard fan demands that I create, and I do on a daily basis. It's really unbelievable."
