Ted Nugent "Love Grenade": Wildlife beware, the Nuge is back.
Everybody's favorite bow shootin', deer devourin', trash talkin' guitarist, Ted Nugent, has returned with another typically understated effort, "Love Grenade."
With lots of flame-shootin' solos and such touching odes as "Funk U" and "Bridge Over Troubled Daughters," the Nuge takes aim at his biggest target: subtlety.
