Ted Nugent made headlines recently for shooting a live rabbit on the set of the movie Beer For My Horses. Well, that's not all he takes his crossbow to - sometimes he likes to bag himself a guitar.
MusicRadar came across this head-scratching video in which Terrible Ted combines two of his favorite pastimes, weapons and guitars, and takes them to the stage.
Donning an Indian chief's headdress, the Motor City Madman brandishes his trademark Gibson Byrdland guitar (actually, we think it was a cheap double) and "sacrifices" it with a flaming arrow.
It's a pretty nutty video - especially the part where The Nuge constantly refers to his guitar as his "buffalo." To the cheers of the crowd, he bellows, "I'm gonna sacrifice my buffalo! I kill my buffalo for you!"
Hey, in some quarters, that's called showmanship.

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
