I never thought of Nugent as a fast player, just intense.
Impressed by him or not, Nugent is one of the best string bending guitarists to ever play the instrument. If you attempt to play some of his songs (like Stranglehold) you'll see what I'm talking about. Your fingers will be sore for days just trying to play it.
