Many other bands out there from the 80's. They all rock ! Tesla, def lep, white lion. You name it, they all have good vibes and great riffs ! The drummers rock too ! Rock on my Boi 🤘
I wish I had a son like you. 😂 I only had daughters and they didn’t appreciate this great music I grew up listening to. Tesla was a no nonsense rock band in the middle of the spandex, hair spray, and makeup era. The record execs fiddled with them early but they came through as a regular guy rock band. Making Magic and Hanging Tough! Love these guys. ☮️
Underrated by whom? These guys were massive during the day - one of the top bands. Selling millions of albums and selling out stadium tours year after year.
I'm pretty ashamed of myself this evening...just listened to this full album for the first time and I'm 47! It came out when I was in high school, and I liked their music, but I never delved into it! Album is solid and quite stellar! I guess I'm better late than never...
Not quite as good as debut…. Still a HELLUVA record!!!! I listened to these 2 records constantly as a HS senior/college freshman! Was watching the day MTV debuted “Modern Day Cowboy”! Hooked near instantly!
I kicked cancers ass last year and it's songs like this that are big motivators for one to reach down and realise just how strong you really are. Tesla is my favorite band of all time. I love these guys and thanks for soooo many good songs. Fuck cancer!!!!
Amen Tesla is/has been my #1band for Many years they just seem to be an integral part of my little part of the Rock world since the late '80s when I first fell in love with their music and more Damn thats been a few years but honestly just part of what I want to sax😘✌🎶😘
Every single song as far as aye recall is fire and gold, retrospective reflection holds in my humble opinion that this is the standout track and competition is fierce.
Tesla is one of the greatest rock bands ever.Saw them 2 weeks ago in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.Heading to see them again tomorrow night in Knoxville Tenn with Lynyrd Skynyrd.Cant wait!!!!
I can't count how many times I've had this in my phones while running. More than a hundred times, for sure. I used to crank this song when I ran 30.kilometers on the country side, a couple of years ago. Good times ✨
I’m 57 now and at the time of coming out of the 80’s glam band ( which we’re great in their own right) Tesla really help create the best new music of a new era , Jeff Keith has that distinctive voice that even today 2 notes and you definitely know it’s him . They’re still doing great . I’m glad they’re still bands from this era kicking off great music. kix is another great example. Still kicking around. Another band doing exceptionally well that’s stood the test of time is Testament. Best they’ve ever sounded.
Remembering my college days back in the 90's listening to this awesome band and until now that I'm already 51, still singing this song and the whole GREAT RADIO CONTROVERSY album. Keep on rocking guys!!!
I was playing this at my local food store today to send a message to everyone to help get through the pandemic. One of the employees was jamming to it!
What a great opening. What a great song. Favorite Tesla one. I watched it for the first time on the Video Walls of a club after Bonfire concert in Athens, Greece.
Bought this cassette in February 1989 at the PX at MCRD San Diego right after graduating boot camp having been paid and awaiting the trip to the airport for 10 days leave before MCT and SOI.....ran alot of miles during liberty listening to this.....
A great song Jeff Keith has a powerful beautiful voice great song writer. Frank Hannon great guitar player great solo Tesla is one of the greatest heavy metal rock bands of the 80s 90s and still rocking hard today,😎🤘🤘🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
I was 11 when I met my future brother-in-law. He was driving an early 80s camaro. He asked if I'd heard "hang tough" as I went on a store run with him. I said oh no not that new kids on the block shit?! He said oh no, this is way more kick ass. Damned if he wasn't correct!
I just can't find the words for My thoughts about this Whole Tesla group of awesome people that I owe my 🌎🌌to for many reasons over a number of years!😘✌🎶🐞!!
The LAST BAND I EVER SEEN LIVE! I’d seen Pink Floyd.. 11 months earlier but once I seen these guys coming to Birmingham Alabama.. I had to GO! 3 Encores later.. I knew I belonged! 😎😂😂😉❤️💪🏾🤟🏽
I have had a crush on him since the first time I saw/heard Tesla back in the 80s when I was pregnant and unable to work and MTV used to actually play only play real music videos!😘✌🎶😉😁
Nobody has the right to talk shit about Jeff's voice ,Tesla would not be Tesla without him and he has gave us some of the best rock around ,he gives it all he's got and what's he's still got works for me ,,for sure one of the best bands ever ,,keep rock'n Tesla absolutely love you guys
It should be this band is so underrated and they do have a following they came out at the end of the hair era and never disappeared long live rock and roll brother. I sometimes say Tesla the last real American rock band ✌️☮️🤙
I'm fighting cancer at the moment, this song gives me so much energy every time I listen to it and helps me get through chemo therapy.
That sucks. Hang in there, hang tough. Stay strong 👊🏻
Jesus rose from the dead. Trust in Him for your salvation
Praying for you!!!!
Hang Tough!
I hope you get better! Hang tough! 🤘🏼
This still holds up 30+ years later
a true classic NEVER goes out of style ;)
great music is timeless
and always will, a true classic NEVER goes out of style
"You stay locked away inside your room
because you don't know what this world is
coming to.
You hum many parts because you don't know
the words.
And the piper will play
because he don't know what to say.
He's a lot like you. Yeah.
He's a lot like you. Yeah.
He tries hard every day...
to be free...
and fly away."
tysir , never actually knew what he said there
God I miss this music. Thank you Dad for showing me and teaching me all this!
Many other bands out there from the 80's.

Tesla was a monster rock band. The complete package. The guys could play anything. Great shows too. Real musicianship.
They played everywhere they could too. Toured with everyone, Jackal, Great White, Def Leppard, Jackal, Cinderella, Scorpions.
They still are...go see them live!
yes but, how could tesla leave this song off their best hits cd !!!?? this one of the best songs !
Great musical talent, harmony on vocals, and a killer lead vocalists
this band was so UNDERRATED
Yeahhh. They were not glam (because of the time), they were HARD ROCK
Still IS
Facts! Several great songs! They stood the test of time. I seen live twice they rocked it!
I swear they blow whitesnake and quiet riot out of the water
Underrated by whom? These guys were massive during the day - one of the top bands. Selling millions of albums and selling out stadium tours year after year.
Bring back the 80's!
BEST SONG FROM TESLA.....MY FAVORITE.
I think its second best after song and emotion
@@giantsfan8872 third after Lady luck fourth after Modern day cowboy fifth after Love song... Totally Godz!
Modern Day Cowboy
Until they did "Is It My Body" cover!!
Modern Day Cowboy in Edison's Medicine
I'm pretty ashamed of myself this evening...just listened to this full album for the first time and I'm 47! It came out when I was in high school, and I liked their music, but I never delved into it! Album is solid and quite stellar! I guess I'm better late than never...
never too late to appreciate this rock solid album.. I am almost 60 and this is the first I've listened to them since the 80's
13 tracks and at least 10 of them could've been hit singles. Great album.
Not quite as good as debut…. Still a HELLUVA record!!!! I listened to these 2 records constantly as a HS senior/college freshman! Was watching the day MTV debuted “Modern Day Cowboy”! Hooked near instantly!
It’s NEVER too late to turn the volume nob to 15 and rock out!!
Masterpiece

One of the best opening tracks ever
This song has got me through a hell of alot and its helping me once again. Song will always have a special place in my heart and my life
I love this tune, I love this album. The lyrics are inspired and inspiring.
Played the heck out of the cassette back then ,every track was great
Every single song as far as aye recall is fire and gold, retrospective reflection holds in my humble opinion that this is the standout track and competition is fierce.
This was one of the my daughters favorites prior to a swim competition....as they would say "play that song to get my heart pumping daddy"
So many great songs from Tesla ..debut album was incredible 🎸🎛🤠
This Message is always the greatest. The searing duelling guitars , slither in melancholy bliss ..
This band...his voice, one of my all time favorites.
This song is legendary. Means just as much now if not more 30 years later. TESLA ROCKS!!🤟🤟
Saw these guys with LEPPARD back in the day. I think these guys blew them away!! AWESOME GUITAR WORK
I didn’t find this song, it found me 🎸

Saw them in the ‘90’s at Hammersmith Odeon in London. They were incredible live and the Theramin almost deafened me.
Great rock song with a positive message HANG TOUGH👍
I really like the bass chugging along at the first part of the song.
Great song!!!.I remember buying this album the day it came out back in 1989.Going to see em in NYC in THREE DAYS!!!
My favorite band all time band! Excellent Rock!

Hanging tough in upstate NY thru this pandemic in 2020. Tesla rocks forever!
With whats going on right now in the world we all need to hang tough...should be the anthem song for thr world.

One of the best bands still rocking all these years
The music is great, but the lyrics really gets you through tough times in life. Respect,
Great song👍💜
TESLA RULES! Awesome band and such great guys!
This is one of the few band's that grunge didn't kill off
Its 2024 and I am still listening
Never heard of you, but you guys ROCK.😊
I'll be listening in 2044 ....if I'm still alive.
Just saw them live 2 days ago, they absolutely killed it! They still got it

This song throw me back to my teenager times,,,,❤️❤️❤️
Tesla was great band I saw them open up for motley Crüe they kicked ass 🎸🍺👍
Every song they do is my favorite!
I just can't find the words for My thoughts about this Whole Tesla group of awesome people that I owe my 🌎🌌to for many reasons over a number of years!😘✌🎶🐞!!
Bought their greatest hits CD in the late 90's and memorized the lyrics. This is my first time watching the video.
I had this on cassette back in my teenage years and completely wore it out....
The LAST BAND I EVER SEEN LIVE! I’d seen Pink Floyd.. 11 months earlier but once I seen these guys coming to Birmingham Alabama.. I had to GO! 3 Encores later.. I knew I belonged! 😎😂😂😉❤️💪🏾🤟🏽
One of my favorite songs!! I love the lead
Seen them back in mid 90s wool warehouse in Albuquerque NM awesome well never forget.
Seen them at Midnight Rodeo in 2001. Won some tickets on 94 Rock.
These guys bring it in concert.
The crunchy sound of their amps is incredible it’s their unique sound
The 👌 👌 perfect band...Long live for Tesla
Perfect song for the end of a very weird week -- what a good listen!
A HR masterpiece. Still makes my eyes water 30 years later.
Underrated solo that is perfection such a feel there
I cant wait to see these guys this summer !!! 2021 and still ROCKIN !!!
One of the Greatest 80s Songs period!
Favorite Tesla song
Nice
Tesla I dont believe got the recognition they should have !!
They are definitly one of the best bands ever.
Absolutely a great tough great song ❤love it great band ❤️
Tesla’s debut was certainly a flawless album but I think Bust A Nut is on another level , an under rated masterpiece
This is one song they should play more in concerts. Seen them 6 times in 10 years never played it.
One of rocks best front men. Jeff Keith gives it all he’s got.
I have had a crush on him since the first time I saw/heard Tesla back in the 80s when I was pregnant and unable to work and MTV used to actually play only play real music videos!😘✌🎶😉😁
One of the best rock bands ever. Top 10 in my list
Great energy!
88 in my 85 mustang @ 140mph tunes cranked😃...ah the good ol'days
My favourite band. «The Great Radio Controversy», the album that changed my life for the better. My younger days...
Great voice. Wish we they would have done more albums.
Nobody has the right to talk shit about Jeff's voice ,Tesla would not be Tesla without him and he has gave us some of the best rock around ,he gives it all he's got and what's he's still got works for me ,,for sure one of the best bands ever ,,keep rock'n Tesla absolutely love you guys

What a band the power of that guitars... not matched to this day!!
3R Penas Terminator damn right. Where did all the 80s rock, hair metal, n heavy metal go? This shit nowadays sucks so bad it’s not even comparable.
They are good, but not comparable to the legends.
They just played in Philly last year. I was so mad that I missed the show.
Split with my man popped this cd in my car radio & drove 700 miles. Love love tesla.
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
Their solos with tommy s still with them are incredible how they go from a thousand miles an hour back down to zero then back up again
