I agree 💯 there's only a few bands I like these days like Filth And Ghost and Spiritbox and Rivers of Nile the rest of the stuff just is just audio tune 💯 there's never gonna be true rockers in this world anymore
This goes out to one of my best friends that has passed way too young. Tesla was one of his favorite bands, RIP KENNY COFFEE! You will always be remembered my friend
Love to your friend there Roger. Have a funny story for ya. Back when they were *originally on tour, Firehouse opened for them (I really didn't have a problem with that) BUT....there was this one guy that definitely did. He was in the inner 1/3rd portion from the stage. Sold out show. Standing room only. Their ENTIRE SET, directly in front of the singer he saluted him the bird *until he finally got the same love back on their last song ,) It was hilarious.
@@jonprice7085 sweet! I didn't get to see them until last year I think it was, when they opened for Def Leppard. They both put on a fantastic performance.
Actually they were given a lot of respect over the years . I remember they were more popular than metallica . Not as popular as poison or motley crew buy they should have been i guess
In a time of cute, makeup laden hair metal, these guys were just simple rock & rollers. The kind of guys you'd want to share a beer or two with in some dive bar. Props to you guys for being authentically yourselves. Keep on rocking guys.
@Ian Noe I think his beer is called hippie something. I will have to look it up. There is a beer food place that makes it for him. It's called Out of Bounds in Folsom, Ca. 🍻
@@SaintD382 Yeah, I have been drinking it for a year now. 🍻 It's called Heavy Metal hippie beer, it's an IPA and you can only get it at Out of Bounds in Folsom, CA.
Saw them live when they opened for def leopard on the hysteria tour, one of the best live shows ever, awesome. Vocalist used to be a truck driver. He would sing on the c b going down the highway and somebody informed him of a band audition and look where it took him👍👍
This band had Heart and soul of the 70's Rock Bands. Rock N Roll . They had hair but not in that Hair band catagory and a term I don't like. :) Still rockin.
@@GVike Yes, I remember the original! Keyboards instead of guitar there. I just saw the Ph D version for that here on RUclips as well. I prefer the Tesla version, but it's still a great song either way!
Video just looks like them having fun and reminds me of the days when MTV still played music with the dial MTV Countdown. My favorite Tesla song with their signature mix of acoustic and electric. Wish they would include the full intro live and in the video. Thanks for keeping in hard rock all these years TESLA. Long Live TESLA and Rock N Roll!
Amen. The guys who put the footage together for this video deserve praise. It looks like a bunch of screwing around having a blast, then sticking the best bits together, like the guy punching his own head. I heard this on JackFM and went straight here.
@Carrie Sunday pause it at 2:08 & it looks like that high-kick almost brained the singer, and if it's paused it looks like he superman-kicked him in the kidneys. This is such an underrated song, and this video makes me feel young again.
@@vapormissile This is what most music videos had become in the late 80s. The labels slashed the promo budgets so most bands could only make stylized performance videos like this one. There were no stories and nothing in them that most viewers would want to see twice. And *that's* why MTV stopped playing music. Their ratings were tanking because of videos like this, and there was nothing they could do because these were the only videos the bands could afford to make.
It’s 2023 and I’m still listening. Been listening since the 80’s. Love these guys, they kill it every time. Never disappoints. Saw em in 93, one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen, THEY DESERVE MORE LOVE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Tesla was one of those bands that happened to come along in the 80s that was NOT a hair band. It was just their time. They would have been fine in any decade. Just a great rock band.
It was 1987 and we were traveling to the beach in my friend's black Delta 88. It was spring break and it was my first time going away for an extended length of time With just my friends. We were Jamming to this album the whole way. Best week of my life.
Im 24 years old me and a couple buddys was planning on taking a trip like 4 hours north to see these guys and kenny wayne shepherd in Michigan and do some fishing while we was up there the show was a couple weeks ago but we never pulled the trigger on it wish we would have but my job needed me and one of my buddy's had things come up if it wasn't for my buddy backing out I woulda told my job piss off see ya Monday
I live in Michigan and am seeing them with friends this Friday night, March 15th at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mt Pleasant, Michigan. Near Central Michigan University Campus. I've seen Tesla live in concert 3 times since the 80's... Great shows. One of my favorite bands in high school and beyond...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dude! I feel ya! I didn't know I needed this until one of these creepy damn algorithms popped Tesla (not THAT Tesla), Skid Row, GnR, Cinderella, etc on my feed and well...2021 ain't much better but...at least the interWebZ is good for something, right?
I have seen these guys 8 Times. First time, I was in Sand Diego, CA. I saw them in Tijuana, Mexico with ZZ Top, Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard, and a couple other bands, this was 1987, and saw them 7 other times in the United States.
One of the most underrated bands ever. Particularly this song is one of the best rock songs of the mid-late 80s. I hear they are nice guys too. I remember that tour, they opened for Poison.
I remember the 1st time I heard this. I was hooked on Tesla from the 1st note and my love and respect has grown since then. Thank you guys, y'all mean the world to me!
I'm listening to Telsa in November 2023, and yes they are Very Under-rated, they have such awesome sound n music and Jeff's voice rocks then n still today!!! Hope to see them one more time!!! I've never tired of them and don't plan on it!
If you are from Sacramento especially...this was a BIG deal. They got equal play when every other band was straight off the Sunset strip in LA practically. A major record label picking up a Sacramento band....that just means they were THAT good. Totally underrated. love, love, love.
Time traveling with Tesla is freaking awesome. Somewhere between 1987-1991 I saw them in Montreal. I had to lie to my family and girlfriend to go see them. What. An adventure.
@Steve G - Me too! Sometimes it makes me smile and sometimes my tummy twists! Isn't that weird? But I wonder the same thing about time a lot since I turned 60 last year, and since the world has turned upside down with the virus, the violence. I lost my Mom in March and then my dog a few weeks back (but not my belt buckle-no country in my house!). All I have to do is put on the rock 'n roll and turn it up and then I'm just fine for a bit. Without music, life would be a mistake. Rock on!
First song I ever heard by Tesla. I was mesmerized from the 1st note and they became the soundtrack to my life. Thank you Tesla for lifting me up every time I needed it. Many years later it still means alot to me.
I grew up in Sacramento and these guys were everywhere in the late 80’s, it was cool to watch them make it. They were like the house band on 93 Rock (now 98 Rock) and most radio stations in sac. I saw them several times before they “made it”.
This takes me away to a world gone by... but when I am drawn into that world, I find it hard to leave. And I hope I'm not the only one to feel this way... Another song I know but appropriate!
I found out earlier today this was a cover. I wish I knew the backstory of how that came to be. Nothing about the original screams out that it needs to be covered.
I'm 58 yrs old and still jam to tesla
Bad day? Listen to Tesla!🏋👍🍻
👍🙂
Truth!!!
Oh Yessss! specially: getting better!
We used to dance to this at the rock club rock n roll
Amen
Just saw them at the DPAC in Durham NC. Amazing, they still sound the same, vocals are great. They haven't lost anything.
52 this year. Great tune from highschool days. When music was still good.
I love the 80's bands ! Who cares if its 2021. They Rock !
Hell Yeah!!
@@Calypso231p
The 80s was the time. I just seen Tesla October 15th
All the 80’s music was great in my opinion
I agree 💯 there's only a few bands I like these days like Filth And Ghost and Spiritbox and Rivers of Nile the rest of the stuff just is just audio tune 💯 there's never gonna be true rockers in this world anymore
Listening in 2024 too 54 years old my husband and I went to see them in March
This goes out to one of my best friends that has passed way too young. Tesla was one of his favorite bands, RIP KENNY COFFEE! You will always be remembered my friend

All of my best friend are gone way too young I am the sole survivor
@@donphares9006 I'm so sorry..i feel your pain
Sorry for your loss
music crosses the veil to connect us with the ones we love after they're gone...
thanks, Dad! love you!
Concert in KC tonight! Taking my 21 year old son. I'm 54 and rockin Tesla!
Tesla is awesome.
I’m shocked they are still touring to this day
Over 35 years ago it still rocks fresh. I’m 65 and new today music is so forgettable.
IL be sixty six in January.. music gets me HIGH I was Seven 😮 when I got hooked up in the Sixties
This is just a great song. It was released 1986. 38 years later it’s still rocking! 80’s best decade ever for music!
Alright yall!!! It's 2024 and Teslas still rocking🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hands down one of my favourite songs by Tesla, grossly underatated song and band.
They were until they went all Hippie Love crap.
It’s great but I had no idea that this was a cover
Saw them on first tour with alice cooper, both got down
My absolute fave
@@jonprice7085 sweet! I didn't get to see them until last year I think it was, when they opened for Def Leppard. They both put on a fantastic performance.
I do I love the 80's
who else in 2020 still listening! the most underrated band of the 80s
Actually they were given a lot of respect over the years . I remember they were more popular than metallica . Not as popular as poison or motley crew buy they should have been i guess
Absolutely
Me still can't believe what I thought looked cool back then haa skinny jeans
Seen these guys more times live than my all time fav. They lol it every time
me
2023 and still listening and loving this song!
In 1991 i got pulled over driving a stock 1973 black and white roadrunner for loud music at 2am. Best day ever!!!!
I was playing this song!
In 1991, it was still a thing to cruise the strip, or circuit where I was. Those were fun times and the music was part of the memories.
Still loving it all..the memories my friend...the memories 🎸🎸🥁🎸🎤🎵🎼🎶✊🎯🥃☮️
Saw them with great white at the spectrum. Frankie is incredible
In a time of cute, makeup laden hair metal, these guys were just simple rock & rollers. The kind of guys you'd want to share a beer or two with in some dive bar. Props to you guys for being authentically yourselves. Keep on rocking guys.
Yeah. Frank Hannon 🎸 has his own beer line now. 🍻
@@Chrissy2230 Nice, what's it called?
@Ian Noe I think his beer is called hippie something. I will have to look it up. There is a beer food place that makes it for him. It's called Out of Bounds in Folsom, Ca. 🍻
@@Chrissy2230 Okay Chrissy, you've had a year to look it up...now TALK!
@@SaintD382 Yeah, I have been drinking it for a year now. 🍻 It's called Heavy Metal hippie beer, it's an IPA and you can only get it at Out of Bounds in Folsom, CA.

This Suzy still listening in 2023!
Will always love Tesla one of the great bands of the 80's
thats like your opinion, man
This band had Heart and soul of the 70's Rock Bands. Rock N Roll . They had hair but not in that Hair band catagory and a term I don't like. :) Still rockin.
I just learned today that this is a cover by Tesla.
Still listening in 2023! Great Band!
Been listening to this song for decades...
Never realized it was a cover until just recently...
They definitely did make it their own...
Lol I just found that out myself. Someone on here posted the first day MTV aired and one of the videos was a band named PhD singing this
This version stinks. Same croaky metal voice. Boring and tiresome. I bet they all wear Jack Daniels and Harley Davidson t-shirts too.
The MOST underrated band of the 80's and one of the greatest songs of the 80's for sure.
...nailed it, Coach!
It's actually a cover version... look Ph. D. up... the original had no guitar hahaha...
@@GVike Yes, I remember the original! Keyboards instead of guitar there. I just saw the Ph D version for that here on RUclips as well. I prefer the Tesla version, but it's still a great song either way!
They had a couple Gold and Platinum albums....nothing underrated about 'em.
Video just looks like them having fun and reminds me of the days when MTV still played music with the dial MTV Countdown. My favorite Tesla song with their signature mix of acoustic and electric. Wish they would include the full intro live and in the video. Thanks for keeping in hard rock all these years TESLA. Long Live TESLA and Rock N Roll!
Amen. The guys who put the footage together for this video deserve
praise. It looks like a bunch of screwing around having a blast, then sticking the best bits together, like the guy punching his own head. I heard this on JackFM and went straight here.
@@vapormissile Tommy is his name hitting himself like that and this is how these guys still are having fun easy going.
@Carrie Sunday pause it at 2:08 & it looks like that high-kick almost brained the singer, and if it's paused it looks like he superman-kicked him in the kidneys. This is such an underrated song, and this video makes me feel young again.

The 80s bands had the most amount of fun imo. It was more about the music rather than business back then.
67 Dec 29 th an fun song
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
Mechanical Resonance was one of the 80's best albums. I just listened to it today. It was their best work imo.
That’s not opinion that’s fact
Gettin better ❤
Perfect album
Psychotic supper tops MR ... imho. But i guess it`s a matter of taste.
Psychotic Supper is hard to top, imo. It is Perfect! 🤟🏻
It’s 2023 and I’m still listening. Been listening since the 80’s. Love these guys, they kill it every time. Never disappoints. Saw em in 93, one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen, THEY DESERVE MORE LOVE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The best rock band of the world :D
Feeling depressed, put on Tesla and all other heavy metal groups. METAL LIVES!!!!
Tesla was one of those bands that happened to come along in the 80s that was NOT a hair band. It was just their time. They would have been fine in any decade. Just a great rock band.
Perfectly put!!
Badass!
I like how Tesla covered this song from Ph.D. Such an underrated band
Tesla version is light years better

I need this! 2020 sucks balls! I am rocking drinking my Heinekens hoping I can click my heals together three times and go back to the 80’s!
Dude! I feel ya! I didn't know I needed this until one of these creepy damn algorithms popped Tesla (not THAT Tesla), Skid Row, GnR, Cinderella, etc on my feed and well...2021 ain't much better but...at least the interWebZ is good for something, right?
Do the same thing every Saturday night. Loved the 80's and this song. Great way to forget about 2022 with a little sprinkle of beer and weed 🤘.

It is one of the best cover songs
@@niagillies7274 Yup, but with a totally different rock spin.... guitars!
Would love to hear from Tesla now in 2023!
Please stop with the underrated
41 yrs ago a band called PhD did a song lil suzi is on the up, on MTV August 1, 1981.....rest is history
I still listen to these guys. I have saw them live 6 times. 🤘
I saw them back in the day at the UTC Arena in Chattanooga and they just flat out Rocked the House down !!!! 👍👍
Saw the back in the day also, Blockbuster Pavilion Charlotte NC
I'm 60 and still loving this ! Gypsy Road is awesome 😎💯😊❤
I remember the 1st time I heard this. I was hooked on Tesla from the 1st note and my love and respect has grown since then. Thank you guys, y'all mean the world to me!
Tesla is my favorite.i named my daughter after them in 1997. And I really enjoy listening to them on my lunch break
TESLA is the MEDICINE for TESLA Fans! Awesome song! Awesome band! Does anyone agree?
Yes....they were a turning point in my life as a musician and a music lover! There will never be another like them!!
Absolutely
Right there with you my brother

A new classic song from 80's
Eighties music is the best. Still listening after all these years. Love those memories

Whoever had the idea for these guys to cover this song had the right idea. They own it.
Well said
Tommy & Frankie...Mess & Finesse! Such a great compliment and dimension on the guitars. I loved it when they’d go full dual shred!
2024 it just shows great music never dies like the 80s I miss it
God Bless Everyone Always. Thank you
Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia ❤❤❤
I'm listening to Telsa in November 2023, and yes they are Very Under-rated, they have such awesome sound n music and Jeff's voice rocks then n still today!!! Hope to see them one more time!!! I've never tired of them and don't plan on it!
Man I don't know what caused me to remember Tesla's first album, but I am happy to say that I'm back for it. So good!
this video is very bonjovi lol
love it!
Listened to this on earphones while training for my first marathon. Eight marathons and many years later...still a fan.
I seen Tesla in the woodlands TX. When they started it was like space ships landing the music was coming from every where it was fkn amazing
In 86 I was 22 Years old Buying The Up for Little Suzi :) QC
I was age 15
In High School Played this with My Band. Lo❤ve. 🎸 👊
Them and the cult are the most underrated bands ever
I agee my friend
This is a much better version than the original put out by Ph.D, love it!
2023 and still rocking
Blast from the past baby.
My sister and brother in law seen them with candle box last night in council bluffs Iowa they said both bands still sounded great and rocked
Yes they r! They have always been great and still r great!
Listening in 2024, I am 60 yrs. old.
Damn Straight 🤠🛼🛼
61 here and hell yes!!
Same here
Still lessoning at 59 not able to play it! But I can leave with it ❤😂🎉😅😊
I'm 57, still listening.
I saw Tesla open for Def Leppard at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis in 1987. They were as good if not better. Tesla rocks!
Welcome to the 80’s can I take your order?
Yeah, can I get a rock video please, with extra cheese!
Lmao.... but I love it!
Listening in 2024 too, 50 years old.
Listening in 2024, 66 years old. METAL LIVES!!!
Still listening at 73 and have no plans on stopping.
Got ya beat! Turned 70 last month 🎉❤😊
Watching in 2022 🎶🎸😍
I literally drove over 2 hrs in a blizzard to get this CD. My parents almost killed me.
Did you drive one hour there and one hour back? Or two hours to get it, and two hours to return - cos Tesla ain't worth THAT much time...
When Poison's Open up and say.... ahh was released, I rose my bike an hour and a half to town just to get it. Lol....
🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆
@@jondunmore4268 Evidently they're worth THAT much that you had to clarify an answer. Guess you aren't going to get your answer from Kara.
You rock 🍻🍻🍻
If you are from Sacramento especially...this was a BIG deal. They got equal play when every other band was straight off the Sunset strip in LA practically. A major record label picking up a Sacramento band....that just means they were THAT good. Totally underrated. love, love, love.
ROCK on TESLA. SOUNDS GOOD (LITTLE SUZI ON THE UP) ROCK ON FRIENDS
Saw them in Vegas last month. Still rockin in 2024.
Time traveling with Tesla is freaking awesome. Somewhere between 1987-1991 I saw them in Montreal. I had to lie to my family and girlfriend to go see them. What. An adventure.
Oh Shit! - This reminds me of my wife Lorraine Lewis and I right now... God Bless....
It's good to reminisce sometimes.
All the time
Absolutely!

Brandon grew up in folsom and loved these guys. I'm 43 and still rockn.
Just freaking awesome,, enough said
This takes me away to a world gone by... but when I am drawn into that world, I find it hard to leave.
And I hope I'm not the only one to feel this way...
Another song I know but appropriate!
Teslas most underrated song. Love it
It's a cover of a band called Ph.D. Look it up. Tesla wayyyyy improved it.
Still one of my favorite bands!! 2023
I ❤ these guys so much. Can listen anytime.
The most awesome bands of my life. Cheers to you Tesla
Tesla did with this song what PhD could not . What a killer remake .
I found out earlier today this was a cover. I wish I knew the backstory of how that came to be. Nothing about the original screams out that it needs to be covered.
2022!!!! Love these guys so much ❤️❤️❤️
Ran into Frank Hannan less than a month ago-I'm glad he loves his cat!!
🍻
Still listening in 2021 boys!
