Ted Nugent, also known as The Nuge and The Motor City Madman, is a legendary American guitarist and vocalist known for his role as lead guitarist for the Amboy Dukes.

According to Joystiq, Nugent revealed his likeness and movement would be mimicked on screen: 'they wanted to make sure that the cartoon dude on Guitar Hero dances and prances like Uncle Ted', with the song Strangle Hold being mentioned.
