Free-For-All is the second studio album by American hard rock musician Ted Nugent. The album was released in October 1976, by Epic Records. It was his first album to go platinum. As the recording of Free-For-All commenced, rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist Derek St. Holmes left the band, citing growing personal and creative conflicts with Nugent. Two solid years of living together on the road had taken its toll on the relationship.

While Ted Nugent's second solo album, 1976's Free-for-All, was another raging slab of rock & roll, it wasn't quite as consistent as his self-titled debut. The main reason was due to singer/rhythm guitarist Derek St. Holmes' departure from the band just as recording of the album began (due to constant grappling with the Nuge about certain musical issues). To solve the problem, producer Tom Werman convinced a then-unknown singer by the name of Meat Loaf to handle the vocal chores on the songs Derek was going to sing.

Album, Сентябрь 1975, Legacy, Epic Records. Re-Issue in 1999 by Legacy with four Bonustracks. Album, Октябрь 1976, Epic Records. Re-Issue in 1999 with three Bonustracks. 1. Free for All. 2. Dog Eat Dog. 3. Writing on the Wall. 4. Turn It Up. 5. Street Rats.

Free for all is the only song Ted sings. Lester from New York City, NyNugey's best album. Together, I Love You So I Told You A Lie, Hammerdown, and Writing On The Wall are tremendous tunes. Meatloaf's vocals are great. I can see why Nugent's big ego couldn't handle having Meatloaf around. Ted doesn't do any of those songs in concert because he can't sing them Why isn't he in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Free-For-All is the second solo release from American guitarist Ted Nugent and his first album to go platinum. Additionally, St. Holmes was unhappy with Tom Werman's production, saying that the producer was watering down the band's sound.
