American rock guitarist Ted Nugent claims that in the past he was offered drugs by Jimi Hendrix, The Who drummer Keith Moon, and AC/DC singer Bon Scott. He revealed this in a live Facebook interview conducted with him by his son Rocco. Rolling Stone Germany republished the piece as an archive item on September 19 — it originally appeared in February 2021. Rolling Stone Germany ↗
By his own account, he always resisted temptation — and did so out of conviction. Since the seventies he has been known for strictly rejecting both drugs and alcohol, and Rolling Stone describes him as a formative figure of the straight edge movement — even though that movement only emerged in 1981 around the Washington hardcore scene and the band Minor Threat. He himself adds, however, that holding this stance is above all a matter of luck. Rolling Stone Germany ↗
On SuperMusic.cz, Nugent has two songs — Stranglehold and Cat Scratch Fever. You can find Bon Scott's repertoire, who died in 1980, there under AC/DC, with more than four hundred songs.
All three musicians Nugent names died young and in connection with addictive substances: Jimi Hendrix in 1970 at the age of twenty-seven, Keith Moon in 1978 at thirty-two, and Bon Scott in February 1980 at the age of thirty-three. Nugent is now seventy-seven and still performs live.
