I am a former cover musician. My observations that the bass guy did a great job. Played right on time. Most musicians can't play what they did in the studio, well these guys can.
Oh yeah!!! I almost forgot about this band, amazing talent. I would have loved to be on that cruise. I bet being on the ship with all those bands is a great experience.
Steph From Earth nice 👍 I don’t know who posted this video of mine ? But it got a flood of negative comments , I thought it just might be RU-vid , similar to Facebook with all the negativity , I think they still sound good
I worked security for Frank every time they came to Dallas to play at Rock House Live in the early 2000......are real stand up guy.....sat many a morning drinking Yeager with the guys. They are some of the friendliest band members to be around, hands down !!!!
Saw them on that tour also, was my first big rock show and they were awesome! Saw them the following year at Summerfest in Milwaukee headlining the Rockstage. Can't go wrong with twin lead guitars and fantastic songs. Great band!
Hannon recalls hanging with Steve Clark of Def Leppard in Minneapolis while on tour with them. Apparently Clark partied all night and woke Hannon up early with a limo ride to tour the Gibson store or factory. Clark picked a guitar up and they said "Hey, you play lead on a Gibson with Tesla, Right?" Hannon confirmed it and they asked him to grab whatever he wanted. He still uses the double necked SG to this day!😎👍
Tesla was an awesome band but when you look at how all these singers voices have started failing them it proves how superior the late great ronnie james dio was as his voice maintained its power until his unfortunate passing and now rocks the heavens above 🤘🤘🤘
Ron Silvia That’s because he was classically trained and learned good techniques. I imagine a lot of rock singers didn’t receive extensive vocal training and weren’t playing the long game.
Years and years of singing with incorrect technique. Yeah, many rock voices are cool when they are young, but sadly, not many can continue singing that way and sound good into their 50s.
I've seen Tesla live 4 times in the last 2years, and I've gotta say Jeff sounds a little hoarse or tired right there. Could just be the audio too. But that's real rock, no double trackin here folks!
Liked to been there, wish they had a bigger stack. I remember when at their prime they played Peter Frampton "Do You Feel" it was amazing, just like Frampton, who I had also seen.
the most underrated and most under-appreciated rock band maybe ever a lot better they Motley Crue rat poison 99% of the bands from the 80s and 90s but yet they never got the notoriety they deserved never put out a Bad album
Billy Cain Mechanical Resonance remains one of the best Metal albums ever recorded. I also do not like when they are lumped in with the big hair bands who wore makeup and glitter to sell their sub par music of the same era. Tesla has always been about the music and deserves better.
Saw in Indy few yrs ago, had a mix up with seats moved us to the front facing speakers. Got hearing loss in left ear from it.. Now ive seen shows since I was 14, this show was first time I knew I got hurt...
Takes me back to the fall of 1986, rocking out to this on Pure Rock 105.5 KNAC in L. A. (or listening to Mechanical Resonance on my tape deck). Good times.
Frank hasn't lost a step but the singer looks like he drank way to much and sounds like it as well.I saw these guys open for DL back in the day and they were kick ass but I think time has definitely taken a toll on the front man...
First time I saw these dudes live was at the Cal-Expo amplitheater. They filmed their "Love Song" video for MTV that night. I remembered they sang it 3 times to get it right....I never did see myself in the video. Back in the 98 Rock days in Sacramento.....Hell yeah !
The first time I heard this band was on the Metallica Cliff 'em all home video. Towards the end James, Lars and Kirk are getting drunk and they were listening to commin at ya live.
Jeff, also Halford two that are stellar", very difficult to maintain longevity within being vocalists. Nearly none from there initial debut are able to provide octive 4-6 like these two at there age.
Okay absolutely no disrespect but the lead singer sounds like Eric Cartman unless he was sick that day possibly I was just saying he doesn't sound like himself
Loved it in the day. Seems a little campy now. Back when it WAS the music it seemed so magical though. Everyone wanted to play over the top guitar back then...
