Ted Nugent Blasts Paul McCartney Heavily After His Hunting Criticisms

Ted Nugent breaks his silence after The Beatles guitarist Paul McCartney criticized him over hunting. During his new appearance on the recent The Nightly Nuge podcast, Ted Nugent fired back at him and mocked McCartney, touching on his killing everything to collect food from his field.

Ted Nugent has been an icon for rock music since 1964. He has played numerous shows and released 16 solo studio albums during his ongoing musical career. During that period, Nugent has never hidden his thoughts about any topic. He every time shared his political views or criticisms, praises, and admiration for musicians or artists. In addition to his musical journey, Nugent is also known for his hunting hobbies and his vociferous advocacy of gun ownership rights.

On the other hand, Paul McCartney is one of the biggest musicians in rock, as he is the richest rockstar in the world. Although he came to world prominence as a member of The Beatles, which was activated from 1960 to 1970, Paul has grown up his solo career and has released 18 solo studio albums during that period. He also won 18 Grammy Awards at press time. While McCartney got 9 of them as a member of The Beatles, he got 2 of them as a member of Wings. He accepted 6 of them for his solo career and one as part of joint collaboration. 

Furthermore, unlike Nugent, Paul McCartney is against hunting and has been a vegan person since the 1970s. He hasn’t eaten meat since then and has worked hard to raise awareness about animal cruelty. He has also tried to inform people about the negative aspects of the animal industry for decades. Along with his music, McCartney devoted his life to greenery, goodness and peace.

However, recently, Ted Nugent talked about Paul McCartney‘s criticisms of him and his hunting hobby. Nugent said McCartney attacked him killing animals. He then added he was asked to react to his criticisms, as he did.

“I did an interview this morning up in New York, and they were talking about how Paul McCartney attacks me because I murder ‘Bambi,’” Nugent said. “I don’t remember participating in a cartoon, but if you take enough LSD, I suppose you can think that.

“My point being is that they wanted me to retaliate against Paul McCartney for attacking me. They wanted me to respond.”

Ted Nugent Reveals How Paul McCartney Kills ‘A Lot Of Living Beings In His Field’

The 73-year-old rocker then mentioned Paul McCartney and his eating foods besides meat. Disclosing what he would say to Paul McCartney if they meet, Nugent said those words would be thanking him for his extraordinary music, his incredible talent, and his work ethic to making music. He then admitted that Paul McCartney kills a lot of living beings in his field to collect food.

“So I did respond, and I said, ‘If I could talk to Paul, I’d go ‘Thank you, Paul, for enriching mankind with your incredible talents, incredible songwriting, dedication, and work ethic to making music that’s so enriching and brought happiness and escape to our lives,’” Nugent continued.

“Even though he is a tofu guy, which means he hires a guy with a tractor to kill everything to get that field ready for his beans. Then if anything slithers back dismembered into the bean field, Paul McCartney pays that tractor operator, so more money to kill everything that gets in the way of his salad.”

Back in November 2021, Paul McCartney had recalled his first marijuana experience with Bob Dylan while he was focusing on the band’s classic Got to Get You Into My Life. Saying that Bob Dylan let it happen, McCartney said it was a unique moment.

“‘Got to Get You Into My Life,’ what we had to get into our lives, it seems, was marijuana,” Paul says. “Until we happened upon marijuana, we were drinking men. We were introduced to grass when we were in the U.S., and it blew our tiny little minds.

“Exactly what happened is we were at our hotel suite, maybe in New York, around the summer of ’64. Bob Dylan turned over with his roadie, the kind of guy who is more than a roadie – an assistant, a friend, sidekick… He just released ‘Another Side of Bob Dylan,’ and we were just drinking, as usual, having a little party.

“We ordered some drinks from room service – scotch and coke, and French wine were our things back then. And Bob disappeared in the backroom, we thought maybe he’d gone to the toilet, but then Ringo [Starr] came out of that backroom looking a bit strange.

“He said, ‘I’ve just been with Bob and he’s got some pot!’ And we said, ‘Oh, what is it like?’ And he said, ‘Well, the ceiling is sort of moving, coming down.’ And that was enough. After Ringo said that, the other three of us lept into the backroom where Dylan was, and he gave us a pot from a joint. We expected something instantaneous so we kept puffing away and saying, ‘It’s not working, is it?’

“And suddenly, it was working. And we were giggling, laughing at each other. I remember George [Harrison, guitar] trying to get away, and I was sort of running after him. It was hilarious, like a cartoon chase. We thought, ‘Wow, this is amazing, this stuff.’”
