In an interview, Ted said of Stranglehold, “I’m playing 300 concerts a year and people are foaming at the mouth. The energy at my concerts was unprecedented and remains unprecedented, so some dirtbag at a desk in New York City is going to say that my music isn’t relative? Come on the road with me a couple hundred nights and see the relative. Watch the girls dance – that’s relative, you dirtbag. So it was a song of defiance.”
