    This song is what we affectionately refer to as a "power ballad". Every 80's hair band had one. It drew in the female fan base so more album sales and concert tickets. Plus, the obvious reasons...lol. Tesla is a great band. More songs to check out:

Most of their well known hits are from their 1st 3 studio albums and the live "5 man acoustic jam"...I highly recommend the later albums as well. "Bust a nut" has some awesome songs and I think cover to cover it is my favorite album. I would love to hear/see you react to Shine away, Try so hard or A lot to lose. They also have a double album of covers called Real to reel. Definitely should check it out. Well you all "made someone smile" today when I watched this reaction.

It was right at the time their debut album came out and they were still unknowns. They blew the roof off! They were equal to Def Leppard in music and entertainment. I went out the very next day and bought their album.

    FYI, the parts of a basic drum "kit" are, as you said, a snare drum, three thumpier drums called "tom-toms" or just "toms" (high, medium and floor), and the biggest (and lowest, on the floor) the bass drum, played with a foot pedal. Plus, of course, cymbals (usually ride, crash, and high-hats). Of course, drum kits can vary widely, from a simple cymbal + snare setup like Slim Jim Phantom in Stray Cats to Neil Peart's kit in Rush, where he was literally surrounded by drums!

    WOW.....you picked one of very favorite bands for the past 30 years....I have seen them at least a dozen times. Troy Luccketta is in my top five favorite drummers of ALL time! He is a MONSTER. He is very into the sound of his drums, and how they look. Changes his set up every tour. He plays amazing little things that drummers pick up. Frank Hannon is an amazing and VERY underrated guitarist. Not only very fast and very creative...but he gets great sounds out his guitars. The whole band are amazing musicians. 'J' is right, the band is named after the famed inventor Nikola Tesla...who was ripped of by Edison. Check out the song "Edisons' Medicine."

      Frank Hannon is an amazing guitarist! He can hang with the top dogs. Truly, each member of the band is amazing. It is what is a team effort. Tesla is my ultimate favorite, and my kids love Tesla. In fact, my grandaughter was on video no too long jamming to Tesla.

Third song in, then, last song. They had to make time to move the cameras. What a great night! I've seen them exactly 20 times. I've met them all. Down to Earth people. No rock star egos.

    Tesla debuted in 1986 with the album "Mechanical Resonance." It was one of the most influential hard rock albums of the 80s. Lots of good songs on it. Tesla had their own sound. The vocalist was a truck driver when he wasn't doing the band thing.

      They were one of the few bands at the time, especially hair bands, to feature acoustic guitars prominently. And you simply did not hear acoustic guitars on the radio in 1986 until Tesla came along.

    Welcome to Tesla! Both the car and the band were named after the inventor, but Tesla the band was ~20+ years before the car. I live where they are from (Sacramento) and just caught them a week ago in a concert - yeah, still great!
    For another good yet completely different "Love Song", try The Cure's "Love Song" (not a cover) and "Friday I'm in Love" for another rabbit hole.

    Huge Tesla fan, and this is absolutely my favorite power ballad. Also a huge Black Crowes fan and I’ve always likened Tesla to The Black Crowes for some reason. Tesla leaning more toward a hard rock sound obviously. I think they unfairly got lumped in with 80s hair metal and didn’t get a lot of recognition. Check out “Little Suzi”, “Changes”, “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)”, “The Way It Is” and “What You Give”.

  • @captainron1975

    This is one of my favorite groups, even touring today they are still great. Check out "Song and Emotion" by Tesla. You might cry, it was written as a tribute to Steamin' Steve Clark the original lead guitarist of Def Leppard. Vivian Campbell has taken his place, but this song has guitar riffs played by Clark before his death. The original is 8 minutes long.
