1* EpicRiff: "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold", most famously. Other examples from his catalogue include "Great White Buffalo", "Stormtroopin'", "Dog Eat Dog", and "Gonzo", among others.
2* FanNickname: The Nuge, the Motor City Madman, Uncle Ted and/or the Ten Thousand Fingers of Doom.
3* OvershadowedByControversy: He's probably one of the best-known classic rock artists, notable for songs such as "Cat Scratch Fever", often ranked among the greatest classic rock tracks, and "Stranglehold", which ''Guitar World'' has ranked as having one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. However, you'll be hard-pressed to find a discussion about his music on the internet that doesn't eventually turn into an argument about his far-right political views (especially his rabid [[UsefulNotes/AmericanGunPolitics advocacy of gun rights]], his virulent racism and more recently his vehement denialism of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, the latter of which has backfired on him when ''he himself'' caught the disease) and his sexual pursuits of underage girls.
4* SampledUp: Non-fans are more likely to recognize the beginning of "Homeward Bound" from the Music/BeastieBoys track "The Biz Vs. The Nuge".
