Part 2/7:

The discord began when Nugent expressed his disdain for the Rolling Stone list of the 100 greatest guitarists, which included Jett. Nugent took to his YouTube channel on December 30, 2021, to voice his opinions. He questioned the validity of the list, highlighting that while Joan Jett made the cut, many other notable names were excluded. He described the list as filled with inaccuracies and suggested it was a product of deceitful curation.

In his tirade, Nugent went as far as to make a comparison that questioned why other talented guitarists like Tommy Shaw and Derek Saint Holmes were not recognized, while he perceived the inclusion of Jett as a personal insult. He then made a controversial statement about Jett’s stature in rock music, while also veering into more personal jabs.
