Ted Nugent up in arms in new movie

We've heard about life imitating art, but leave it to Terrible Ted Nugent to cross the line. On the set of the upcoming movie Beer For My Horses, in which he co-stars with country musician Toby Keith, The Nuge capped off a day's shooting with a real shooting.

"Ted has just shot a guy with a bow and arrow," explained Keith. "And he's leaving the set to go back to his trailer, and all of Hollywood is standing around and a cotton tail jumps up - rabbit - and crosses the set. POW! And he guts him a rabbit right in front of everybody."

The Beer For My Horses script was written by Keith, who also had a hit duet with Willie Nelson of the same name. The movie is described as a "fun-loving road trip movie" and also stars Nelson, Tom Skerritt and Gina Gershon. It's set to hit theaters August 8.

    That sounds like Ted,
    I met him once, and watched him skin a fawn as he talked about conservation at his ranch in Texas. I was dropping off some rental video equipment for a reality TV pilot he was doing. I think it is his way of shocking people. I however have seen things much worse than that on the streets in South Dallas and in east St. Louis so it did not shock me in the least. He does know about conservation and as far as I can tell does more good for the environment than harm. I think we need more people like him. He speaks his mind and does what he want's to. That is what rock n roll is all about. I think my favorite part was when I used the bathroom in his house and saw a cammo PRS next to a couple of stacks in his living room, no TV nothing else but furniture, I just thought it was funny, he is larger than life.

    First of all Ted is one of the Most patriotic Americans. He says what he thinks and can live off the land. Im sure that the rabbit he shot he ate that night. Im sure that everyone that is repulsed by this shooting dont eat a bit of meat right?? Ha.... If you dont like him dont go watch the movie. There are plenty out there that do respect a man in the music business that doesnt drink or get drugged up to sing. Try looking at the good in a person instead of what YOU dont like. and "acedrums" I bet you kissed your mother with that mouth once in your life and you think you're a better person then Ted?? Wake up... You made yourself sound like the ass you are.

    just to clarify...i am well aware that most americans are not like Ted Nugent! you americans seem to be some of the friendliest people, as anyone who has been to america can probably testify. however, the fact that this man is best buddies with George Bush tells you exactly as to why the image of america many people have is misconstrued.

    as an american i feel i need to state - the views and opinions expressed by ted nugent do not necessarily reflect the views of this network, america, persons with IQs over 40, myself as an individual, or anyone i would chose to associate with ....... ever.
