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 RUclips , 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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
@@kerrymccaughey5506 Yeah, I didn't really notice at first. Maybe it's a tech, and they just have him to add another rhythm guitar, but your guess is as good as mine.
Kerry McCaughey it was a guitar tech tuning guitar for another song coming up , he wasn’t plugged in , Frank and Dave can more then handle the guitar parts
30 years+!He's still singing like that and the guy can still hit it!That's very impressive that he's preserved his voice that well!
Tesla was so melodic and under-rated! They had som of the best guitar stuff out there!
I totally agree.Amazing guitarists....
tigerbalm agreed man.

infamously sleazed out
When this came on the air waves in 1986 that opening lick/ riff blew us away..perfect song
I agree. Guitar stepping was always a challenge to figure out in those times!! Loved it, hammer down on the guitar Frank!
I drove over 1200 miles once to see Tesla... so underrated I believe. Best road trip ever!!!
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 RUclips , similar to Facebook with all the negativity , I think they still sound good
alexvigil29 I say fuck’em if they don’t know good music... Tesla really is badass 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@stephfromearth3607 I'm with u Steph! Tesla, Cinderella & Black Crowes best music from 80"s! Not counting heavy/ fast Metal. Imo 💊💉🚬🍸🍺🍻🎸🎵🎶😁
gizzy2403 I’m agreeing with you 💯😉
Steph From Earth not sure I’d brag about that.
I saw them at the Texxas Jan '87. Nobody had ever heard of them but they blew every band away. The very first song we were all going "holy shi*".
Hannon is absolutely incredible, he really is.
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 !!!!
Yeager, lol!
Amazing musicians. ALL of them! What kick ass songs!
he's been sounding like Cartman since 1999
best comment ever. He sounds like him but the other guys look like him
Saw these guys opening for Def Leppard in 1987. Kick ass rockers!
Yeah I saw them on that tour. They got booed off the stage.
Me too.No booing.
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!

He still uses the double necked SG to this day!😎👍
You know that they are great guitar players when they make it look easy!
Going to see em next month, paid for the VIP meet and greet
Can’t wait
Mick Foley on bass ladies and gentlemen..
Greg Barth I laughed too damn hard at this...Bahahahaha!!!
BANG BANG Have a nice day@@joshkitchen6547
😂😂😂😂😂
Fuckin’ WOW they’ve still got it !
I taped them at the Providence Civic Center opening for DLR 1/16/87.
You’ve probably heard it it’s decent👍🏻
dude uncalled for, but funny as hell to LOL
Awesome band. Amazing sound.
Tesla, Warrant, and Triumph
Joe Louis Arena 1986 🤘🤘
I was there, amazing show!
So glad to see these guys still kicking butt!
I love Tesla! I wish they would write more music like this.
Tesla-still bringing it!!! Great band!!!
Some songs just f-ing rock. This is one damn fine example of exactly that! 🤘🇺🇸🤘
Saw them in 89. Was never really a big fan until that show. They are the real deal.
I saw them back in the day 4 times. Awesome live.
Brian Wheat was heavy when they first started and lost weight. Poor guy. It's back.
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 🤘🤘🤘

Good solid rock band back in the day.
Sound Great. Wish we would get more music from them Great Band.
They literally released a new album like 2 months ago
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...
Total goosebump song when this came out. The singer sounding "off". Not sure what is going on there. A bit cartman ish perhaps,?
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.
Rock never gets old !!!! ROCK ON TESLA !!!!
Damn, it sucks getting old
A Vega Residence will be any band's end, Elvis and now Aerosmith? Tesla ??
First band I ever saw live, supporting Def Leppard in 87.
gingataff nice 👍
I saw them in 87 with DEF at the San Diego sports arena
Man Jeff’s voice is solid 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
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.
I miss KNAC, they were the best station ever.
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.
I’m there up in the back at 0:47
Glad to see bands still use real amps!
Bands don't use amps now??????
@@Scorpsfan a lot just go straight to soundboard
@@Scorpsfan with amp simulation
Our man Frank helping his struggling buddy out at 2:07. That's how a band is supposed to work.
It’s part of the song , so what you talk about , Jeff’s voice is solid .
These Rockers make me SMILE 😁🤟
TESLAFIED!! Love it, still rocking .just saw @ Graceland . ROCKED .
Saw these guys play to 20,000 people back in the '80's. Can't believe they're playing a cruise ship.
You ever play to anyone? Your hand doesn't count lol
They are playing on the monsters of rock cruise. Plenty of bands/artists have played on cruise ships.
One of the best bands to see live ! Thanks for sharing all these killer vids! You Rock! 🤘🔥⚡🤘
i need to "relax" on one of those cruises !!!!!
So great!!! Thanks for sharing love them

Sounds like Cartman is the lead singer for Tesla these days.
Lol. It does
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!
💀
Yeah his voice sounds like it's done
I was gonna say Alvin and the Chipmunks! Lol
EXCELLENT IDEA, CONCERT ON A BOAT.
awesome...totally awesome...wish i was there
Excellent shredd'N fellas
⭐😎⭐
They still Rock! And doing a fine job!!
Looks like tesla
Sounds like tesla
Must be tesla
That bass player still eating good he don't miss a meal
Him and Mike Reno are on the see-food diet!
I can't stop staring at that white Flying V with the white fret board. DOPE!!!
If I seen it from 10 feet away it'd be like: " (insert godlike "auw" here.. ✨) wondering what generation tizzz.... 🤔
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

Still tight as f@$%!!! Great to see.
Tommy was the real backbone.... They still sound great though...
Tommy is a cool dude but unfortunately is a slave to the junk.
Remember these guys when they were called "City Kid". Saw them at a club when they were still too young to drink.
Classic ...hard rock ever!
AWESOME!....thanks for sharing ;-)
Eric Bolt thanks for watching
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.
Ladies and gentlemen steven pearcy on vocals
This band is so tight and cohesive by the fact that they have been playing and creating since 1985-86 the 5 of them should work on harmonies.
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...
Way better video view than mine from the jacuzzi!
respect mah authority!
They still sound good
Matt DOE yup
His voice is blown out.
Tesla kicks ass! Seenem 4 times👍
It's a shame we all get old
Cody Weis not really. Growing old is a privilege denied to many!
That was awesome
They say a camera adds 10 punds to any picture or video.....so just how many camera do they have pointed at Brian!?!?
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.
They still kick ass
THAT Gibby V looks nice
Let's give it up for Eric Cartman on vocals everyone...
Peccato che la voce si senta a tratti.sometimes not audible and I can't clearly understand the words.guitars absolutely AWESOME.like n.758.
Is there a guitar tech almost tried out for our band back in 2019 but he ended up moving to another state
Awwsome!!!
RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!!!
Singer is strugling....eighties....that man ruled.
nice ending
Jeff looks like he's in pain or feeling no pain. But really, he looks like he's in pain.
Troy not playing Tama drums is sacrilegious
Hell yeah🤘🤘🤘
Still great....and my damn age
That guy has the most unusual voice in rock
wow. father time is a real mother f'er. Everyone watching this is feeling old.
What a kick axe video Alex, sub +1=600. What did you shoot with, GoPro on gimbal or optical image stabilization, or post-production in Final Cut?
Singer still parties. I can see his dripping nose from here
He sounds more nasal than usual.
Badass!!🤘🤘
Man...they fucking still rock.
Nice tribute to Acdc with their font!
It's for the cruise they are playing. Monsters of Rock cruise.
I bet that was the most epic fucking cruise!!
Nice
Chris Farley on Bass?
more like the monsters of super size meal-YIKES!!!
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...
Tesla still RoX!!
btw,is that Jeff Keith on lead vocals?
Jack Mehoffen
Yes
These guys still fucking rock!!!
Damn, I didn’t know John Goodman played bass with TESLA!
Thought it was Phil margera
Hahaha !! He's not big anymore.
When did cartman start singing for tesla lol
Some people should just give it up already!!!
yeah like you cuz this band still kicks ass and puts out great albums
Who is the guitar player off to the right at the rear of the stage, behind Frank Hannon ?? ….and why ?
Dave Rude.
@@mr.timebombman2230 no ...not Dave, at 1:37 there is a guy behind Frank on a black SG....unless he a guitar tech....
@@kerrymccaughey5506 Yeah, I didn't really notice at first. Maybe it's a tech, and they just have him to add another rhythm guitar, but your guess is as good as mine.
Kerry McCaughey it was a guitar tech tuning guitar for another song coming up , he wasn’t plugged in , Frank and Dave can more then handle the guitar parts
