He’s actually right about being a better guitar player than Joan Jett.
I absolutely love Joannie, her music, her 1950s style and attitude. 100% deserves her spot in the HOF. But she’s pedestrian at guitar in comparison with loony Uncle Ted. Rhythm player, not a lead shredder like TN.
Saw Ted a few times back in the 70’s, Always put on a very good high energy show, While he was never really allowed to show his chops while in Ted’s band Derek St. Holmes is IMO the more accomplished guitar player of the two.
