REMASTERED IN HD! Music video by Tesla performing What You Give. (C) 1991 UMG Recordings, Inc. #Tesla #WhatYouGive #Remastered #Vevo #Rock #OfficialMusicVideo
My dad passed away last night, this is the song he loved the most and will be buried to. Please love and hug your people a little harder for me today because you never know when a loved one might be gone.
Very sorry for your loss. I lost mine a few years back but it still feels like yesterday. As someone who has been there I won't say it gets easier but eventually you start replacing the sad memories with the good ones. It's a process. Just a couple months ago I lost my father in law as well. He was like a 2nd dad. Just stay positive.
I know what you mean I lost my mom in my arms on 09/30/23 she passed away from her second stroke and damn she will be loved and missed forever. Take it easy and I'll be praying for you and your family take care and God bless you.
I'm 46 and allot of the local teens come to my house to crank up my system because it's loader than what they have as long as it's rock I don't mind I did find out the two loud= to old is wrong at 2500+ watts RMS my system can get to loud :)
robert crocker Oh now....it can never get to loud:) I compete at rolling thunder competitions. Im pushing 5000+ Ive cracked my rear side glass windows twice. Keep on rockin brother
@@tracieday1914 U must be a 66 kiddo as well. We grew up in the best decades ever was. Im not going to go as far as to say the music now is all bad. However....it doesn't have the meaning that our classics have. Keep in ROKN. I WILL...THE LOUDER THE BETTER. ROCK ON
im still here and the 80s are still the best and everybody that commented on my post you are still my friends and we will be friends forever .80s forever .
Totally love that lyric, "It's not what you got, it's what you give. It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live." Wisdom comes from strange places sometimes.
how is a song a strange place to find wisdom? do you even know what music is? have you ever heard of poetry? what planet do you live on? or are you just one of those simpletons
+james vanitas "It's not what you got, it's what you give. It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live." ahhh the world would be SUCH a better place HUH ?
Ive said it before and I'll say it again. If you didnt grow up in this era and listen to this music, you Have No idea what you missed. The 80's was THE best decade! Not for just the music but also just to grow up and live in. Tesla, Motley, Poison, Cinderella, Kix, and goddamn it, so many more. I would love to re-live those yrs again.
High school girls with big hair gun and roses motley crue. Went to see tesla acdc motley crue guns and roses in one year coming home from the tesla concert was pulled over with 3 passengers in my truck with the smell of beer in the air me and a friend 2 girls and the situation was looking bleak then the cop noticed the tesla t-shirt and asked is that where we were coming from I said yes he asked me to step out of truck to the back told me he wanted to go to the concert but couldn't get off from work made me promise to get back to my neck of the woods be nice to the girls stay off the roads what a night well 2 days as it turned out and 2 Nights damn it man anybody got a time machine
Met my only when I was 16, he'd just turned 18. Married him when I turned 18. We celebrated 34 yrs of marriage this year (2016). He's got MS, had a stroke last year. He was my only the 1st time I met him, he's still my only, he'll always be my only. The years have held sorrow, but much more happiness. We share our life and love with our 30 year old son, his wife, and 2 grandbabies. "What You Give" reminds me of what I've received. And I'm damn thankful for it all.
Jacee K sounds like me and my husband, met when I was 13 he was almost 16! Still together just celebrated our 24 yrs anniversary together. Got married in 1999 but we still celebrate both anniversaries! I love him more than life and wouldn't take NOTHING for him!!!
Nikki Davis, Thank you. My husband and I celebrate the anniversary we officially became a couple And our wedding anniversary. My mother thinks I'm nuts. But you Story is a Bit like ours. Only he was 14 and I was 21 so of course I wouldn't even think of him like that. Then when he was 22 we got together. Still together 10 years later and he is my all! Neither one of us expected it, in fact his proposal was Such a surprise because I had 2 divorces under my belt and he wasn't "the marrying kind" just goes to show, Anything is possible (btw my first marriage was when I was 17, I started Way too young!)
My husband sang this at our wedding reception at our remarriage .He just past away May 13 2024 we we’re together 48 yrs .I miss him so much the love of my life . Love you baby Thank you for all the years we had .
That man loved you dearly. I haven't married yet but I always imagined this song being involved by vows or just reception music. It's very powerful and unique. My condolences.
This makes me tear up. Not only because it's a great ballad but because these bands and these songs are gone and they're not coming back. Oh but what a hell of a ride it was my friends.
Really I got a bit choked up too. I remember listening to this song when I was in the hospital for a bone infection in my right foot and I snuck out onto the helicopter pad to smoke a cigarette listening to Tesla on my cassette tape.
I love this song. Best of memories hearing my Mom rock out to it when I was growing up. I was born in 1987 and I recently told my Mom that 80s music has to be the best by far. So much meaning ♥️
This song is so honest, I am filled with love just listening to the words. When you love in this way, all things are possible. Trust in your heart. Trust in your feelings. Love heals absolutely. Not just those in love, but all those who witness it. The Power of love is simply this. All healing for all people. Thank you Tesla. I feel your music.
My brother is 4 years older than me he took me to all the shows back then Legend Valley September the 16th of 87 in scene Pink Floyd ac/dc roger waters.
some of them did. Tesla is one of them. Even if someone doesn't like genre; they have to recognize the talent in the bands who had it. I've noticed they have stuck around. (recently hearing this on a classic rock station brought me here)
I'm from the 60's & 70's but because of MTV I got to see these 80's rock bands and yea they ain't the Beatles or Pink Floyd but I can jam to this music, in fact I'm going to see Tesla, Def Leppard, & CCR in a couple weeks rock on!!!!
+Kevin: I'm not gonna argue with you on this one because Tesla Rocks!! But, I like many others wouldn't consider Tesla a hair band. Just a great band!! :)))
Yeah, downgrading materialism, status and bling in the line "it's not what you got", and simultaneously lifting up and giving credence to the notion of giving, All In a person rock song... Along with the rest...Not bad at all.
I'm here at 9:00pm on March 28, 2020. The month of the corona virus and I'm in lock down here in Michigan until April 13th and I'm here because I love Tesla.
This has got to be one of the most underrated bands of all time. My dad showed me these guys when I was a little kid. Seen these guys live in 2012 and got to talk to all of them. The drummer gave me his drumsticks after the show and have them as a souvenir to this day. Much love 🤟
Your not kidding... Around 1988 i went to a free concert in Manchester NH called the River front.. outdoors n free... We all went to see Poison... Tesla opened for them... Think the crowd liked them more!!! It was fuckn epic!!!
Yep, me too. And here I am at age 34, and while I've felt that special kinda love toward 2, maybe 3 gals in my life, I've literally never had a woman tell me she loves me that way. Of course I am grateful for and genuinely appreciate my mother's love as well as the love of other female family and, well, I don't know that I have any lady friends that even love me as a friend, but anyways, as great as that love is, when you don't have that special kind of love, and when you have gone years without ANY sort of intimacy with a woman, not even cuddling, and yiu go completely without that magical feeling of excitement and burning arousal within your heart and soul and body as a whole which only the physical touch and affection of a woman can bring to a man, well, as I said, you realize how important that special kind of love is....
For those who don't know, this is actually about the death of Jeff's dog......................so it basically IS a love story dedicated to him. Having experienced the same thing, it takes on an even deeper meaning for me.
I was tearing up the other day for the same reason with a different song from the 70's . Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. My father committed suicide at age 39 in 1979.
Hello, Thank you so much for being a fan of mine, thanks for all the love and support you have shown me through my career, I wouldn't be where I am today without you my fans, I see all of your comments and I deeply appreciate the love❤️🥰 Please always reach out to my private & personal email contact below for more enquires and private sessions on guitar lessons. private email contact: frankhannonmusician@gmail.com Kind Regards, Frank Hannon.
This was my step mom and dads song and my stepmom died in a car wreck back in July, this song doesn't mean much to me but I've seen my dad ball his eyes out just by hearing the opening riff. "It's not what ya got, it's what ya give"
Just saw these guys in concert on Friday . I was absolutely blown away how great they sounded. They said it was 37 years since they been to that venue. It was like traveling back in time to the 80s. Great song, great band.
if I could only go back to the 80s the best time in my life I would in a heartbeat . I'm 50 years old and everytime I watch these songs it reminds me of a time when music was great and life was just so much better than what we have now in 2018 , if I got an offer from the devil I might just take it . hehe .
I'm turning 42 this Saturday, not that age matters, I'm just saying my age because thats about how long I have loved Tesla!!! Me and my cousin share the same love for Tesla!!!! Really cranking it up as teenagers driving arounIf we were boys I could use the terms rocking out with our cocks out but I won't say that...... But back on a serious note my cousin just passed away Monday her funeral Friday the 13th and my birthday 14th 😄 May she rest in peace going to be a lonely birthday without her but I will still rock out to Tesla ...... You rock Tesla don't change a thing
Just turned 46. Can't express how much this song means to me. Got to watch this music get buried and watch grunge take over. Still remember sitting with my friends chilling listening to this and more. I miss it so much kids today don't have a clue. It's all we had to do was buy cds and hang out. No smartphones, no internet, no worries just a fun concert and a weekend with great memories.

My name is James and was just recently diagnosed with cancer. One of my biggest wishes is to meet Mr. Jeff Keith as a last request. I have been a fan since I heard their music when I was 10. Please Mr. Jeff Keith, if you read this, know your music got me through many hard time in my life, and what I am going through now, even more. You are a great vocalists as well as a beautiful soul. Thank You for your true love for life and people.
Hello James .. I pray your wish is granted. I'll keep you in my prayers. I pray God Almighty will heal you and sustain your life for many years to come. We tend to forsake the Lord yet the Lord NEVER forsakes us. Cry out his name with a sincere heart❤ God bless you!!
Cruisin' in my IROC Z28 with some cold beer, the T-Tops off (most likely with some form of a mullet) and the girls were diving in the back seat ready to ride the back roads of Northern Virginia!
Savop hey hey Neybor Lol! I was born in 76'' so also growed up rocking during the 80-90s no car which sucked but my BFF in HS had one Lol. Also no mullet cuz well ima girl and we was busy with our front bang big BoofS and the sides sprayed out like our wings!! Ahh yes Sir those were good times those were the days for sure!! Miss em! But u said Va. What part? Im in NorthEast Tenn. The tricites next to Bristol Speedway!?!
hi m 22. i enjoy reading comments here..people growing old with these songs.. thats awesome and this is such an amazing song. i get goosebumps just listening to his voice
Klyn Bhuyn I love hearing about the younger generation who their parents raise them right . I don't mean to be judgemental but people who appreciate older music generally are more respectful, and I'm sorry just decent human beings. God bless you, glad you have great musical taste. By the way I've seen Tesla live numerous times and they absolutely freaking Rock, cool guys, great human beings, and put on one hell of a show
Klyn Bhuyn dude, you ROCK, I've seen your comments on some of these other videos that I love man I love seeing younger people who appreciate real music you're awesome dude, your parents raised you the right way
By far one of the rawest songs written and onley played by this amazing band . The voice and thee acoustics in this is unparalleled. This makes me human
I've seen them 3 times opening for Def Leppard '88,in a club in NJ in '04 and at The Chance rock club in Poughkeepsie,NY in '14.Excellent real rock 'n' roll band!
The memories of the 80s are really something special only us that were teenagers back then really understand the true feeling of what those days meant I would give anything to have a do over of those days
@@kellyjoiner4418 I hear that I would give anything to live those days again so many things I wish I could do over so many girls I wish I could have another chance with omg so mu much I would do over
This song brings me back to such a wonderful time to n my life. A time of freedom, of lifelong memories and in a way a time of innocence. Our music in this era was GOLDEN and will never matched again 🙌
I have loved Tesla since I was 12 years old. And I’m now 46. My dad was a genius at finding the amazing bands when I was growing up. I grew up with so many great bands.
Never will grow old with this band....you can always count on THEIR music for whatever you feel like...it brings you something to make everything better...
@@ronditchen6664 what about Steelheart- I'll never let you go.. & Skid row I remember you.. and Slaughter- fly to the angels.. So many classic ballads from the 80s/ early 90s that have stood the test of time.
it's crazy that i never listened to any of their music or any type of rock n roll for that matter really growing up. now i'm instantly hooked like wtf, usually I only listen to rap. I decided to check tesla out since my great uncle is part of the group lol
One, two, three Who's the one that makes you happy? Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind? And who is the reason you're livin' for? Who's the reason for your smile? I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one To ever feel this way I love ya so much that I think I'm goin' insane I'm goin' crazy, outta my head, I'm goin' crazy, outta my head I can't think about nothin' but your good, good love, And what you give Now I mean everybody Everyone needs somebody And you know, everybody needs someone Well, and a-yes it's true, everybody needs a special kind of love And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of You mean the world to me, you are my only I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one To carry on this way I love ya so much I lose track of time, lose track of the days I'm goin' outta my head, I'm goin' crazy, outta my head I can't think about a-nothin' but your good, good love And what you give It's not whatcha got, it's what you give It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give It's not whatcha got, but the life you live That's it and that's right Why it's the life you live Oh play it pretty for the world And you're the one that makes me happy, oh yeah baby And you're the one always on my mind Oh and a-yes it's true You are my reason, my one and only that I've been livin' for Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one To ever feel this way I love ya so much I lose track of time, I lose track of the days I'm goin' outta my head, I'm goin' crazy, outta my head I can't think about a-nothin' but your good, sweet love And what you give It's not whatcha got, it's what you give It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live No, no, no, no, no, no It's not whatcha got, it's what you give And it ain't what it's not, but a-what it is It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give It's not whatcha got, oh but what you give It's not whatcha got, it's what you give It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live It's only what you give, only what you give, it's only what you give It's not whatcha got, but what life you live It's only what you give, what you give, what you give It's only what you give, it's only what you give, no no no It's only what you give, what you give, what you give It's only what you give, it's only what you give Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Is that good enough for the girls that we run around with? Well, I do believe so, It's only what you give, what you give, what you give It's only what you give, it's only what you give 💙🖤
Gave everything to family and when the little ones were sick, slept with them on my chest. Even moreso in a water bed at that. It's definitely not what you got but what you give.
Dogs just want a pat on the head and a good boy. People man they will suck you dry and use you up until you've had enough and finally just say f it and be happy for you
I sung this to my first girlfriend and played the 12 string outside of her window at 12 midnight and too the cops came we've been married since 88..😇😇😇
Mark Darby Wow.. You just brought me back to my HS bf and gave me the chills.. He was a drummer lol still. All guy friends played the guitar. 1988 baby... Amazing year for me too! Life defining year
"Love song" is awesome tune too! Im a 70's baby so when Tesla came out I was in my teens n I love all kinds of rock but I cant believe this shit they put on the radio...i dont even listen to the radio nevermind todays music. Unless its something new from a band I like...im not interested! Thx for reading. Keep real great music alive. Im just so happy I grew up in an era when music was great. Now...the shit they put out is sad.
I'm 35 and this song is on my everyday playlist. It never gets old. Takes me back to much simpler times but the words also hit me to the core of my soul.
Man this song brings me back to the good ole days when things didnt suck......
Right on
Yes it does me to!
Very true
I miss those days
Amen
My dad passed away last night, this is the song he loved the most and will be buried to. Please love and hug your people a little harder for me today because you never know when a loved one might be gone.

I dig 80s music but I think the late 60s and 70s did it even better. to each their own I guess
Agree ! Love this era ..our big hair was the shit ..aww to go back ...
I'm 62 and this song and video still has me rocking it and now my kids and grandchildren!
Only what you give baby!!
Met my only when I was 16, he'd just turned 18. Married him when I turned 18. We celebrated 34 yrs of marriage this year (2016). He's got MS, had a stroke last year.

This makes me tear up. Not only because it's a great ballad but because these bands and these songs are gone and they're not coming back. Oh but what a hell of a ride it was my friends.
Hello how are you doing today?
Oh I would not give up so easily. If it is in our hearts and minds it will always be with us.
Really I got a bit choked up too. I remember listening to this song when I was in the hospital for a bone infection in my right foot and I snuck out onto the helicopter pad to smoke a cigarette listening to Tesla on my cassette tape.
🍺⚡️🍺
These are our songs from Our decade. 90s taught us X, many things

I've learned I really need to start setting limits , takers have none even when it comes to love .

Ummm yeah
Hell Yeah one of my favorite songs@@preppyprincess2907

Old hippie (just turned 71). Tesla is one of the best bands I've ever seen live (and I've seen some of the best). Thanks for this.
Seen 'em open for Loverboy blew 'em away before the first album released a single.....
They blew away great white in 1988.
Agreed!! One of the BEST!!💗
First date with my back then wife. They opened for def Leppard
My brother is 4 years older than me he took me to all the shows back then Legend Valley September the 16th of 87 in scene Pink Floyd ac/dc roger waters.
This was played at my fathers funeral. He loved Tesla and I understand why now. :)

True Shit done
He had great taste in music
Soulful... passionate... and emotionally deep.
Yes very true
80's music was the best, what a privilege to grow up during this time!
One of the greatest fucking bands ever! I wished today's music sounded as good as 80's rock! The 80's, best damn decade ever!
I saw em when I was 17. 36 now and remember when I was 10 jamming to em
I've seen them 3 times with Def Leppard and and they are amazing! Love Song baby 🎵🎸👍
Its not what you've got Its what you give
Saw them last year. One of my favorites. He still loves to sing. It shows in his performance.
Truth!
Say what you want, but the 80's Hair Bands put out some of the best music in history. Could listen to this over and over.
That is true! Right from the heart
some of them did. Tesla is one of them. Even if someone doesn't like genre; they have to recognize the talent in the bands who had it. I've noticed they have stuck around. (recently hearing this on a classic rock station brought me here)
I'm from the 60's & 70's but because of MTV I got to see these 80's rock bands and yea they ain't the Beatles or Pink Floyd but I can jam to this music, in fact I'm going to see Tesla, Def Leppard, & CCR in a couple weeks rock on!!!!
couldn't agree better
+Kevin: I'm not gonna argue with you on this one because Tesla Rocks!! But, I like many others wouldn't consider Tesla a hair band. Just a great band!! :)))
This is one of the best songs ever. The words are perfect.
rock out with a real true band sound the same as the radio and like in the 80s i love Tesla
But hey, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, fear not my spiritual reach.
Yeah, downgrading materialism, status and bling in the line "it's not what you got", and simultaneously lifting up and giving credence to the notion of giving, All In a person rock song... Along with the rest...Not bad at all.
One of my favorites
I agree 100%
I could listen to this song on repeat everyday and never get sick of it !!!!❤
I'm here at 9:00pm on March 28, 2020. The month of the corona virus and I'm in lock down here in Michigan until April 13th and I'm here because I love Tesla.
Watching this from NY two months into lockdown in May 11th
May 14 2020 and still on lockdown in Michigan and I'm about to break out..no lie
Word
May 18th, 03:10 AM, 2020, still here
June 5th 2020. Things are finally starting to open back up. 80s and 90s we had the best music. Period.
I'm 58 years old and I start my day with all tesla music first thing in the morning. I've been dying to see them in concert
@tessa3955 - You need to do it, even if alone. Don't worry. You'll be amongst friends.
Saw them soundcheck before they performed in our town, RIDICULOUS TALENT!!!
Me too. We are the same age
Saw them at a Harley Dealership. Badass group
I have it's was great
This has got to be one of the most underrated bands of all time. My dad showed me these guys when I was a little kid. Seen these guys live in 2012 and got to talk to all of them. The drummer gave me his drumsticks after the show and have them as a souvenir to this day. Much love 🤟
_yu I llllllp0
Awesome.
Your dad’s cool🎉
Your not kidding... Around 1988 i went to a free concert in Manchester NH called the River front.. outdoors n free... We all went to see Poison... Tesla opened for them... Think the crowd liked them more!!! It was fuckn epic!!!
Definitely underrated
Tesla is great,love Jeff Keith's voice and this song,very finest
Quite possibly the best written lyrics known to man. 🔥
............................and they're even deeper when you know what the song's about (the death of Jeff's dog).
“Everybody needs a special kind of love” 💗 the way those words hit me.
Yep, me too. And here I am at age 34, and while I've felt that special kinda love toward 2, maybe 3 gals in my life, I've literally never had a woman tell me she loves me that way. Of course I am grateful for and genuinely appreciate my mother's love as well as the love of other female family and, well, I don't know that I have any lady friends that even love me as a friend, but anyways, as great as that love is, when you don't have that special kind of love, and when you have gone years without ANY sort of intimacy with a woman, not even cuddling, and yiu go completely without that magical feeling of excitement and burning arousal within your heart and soul and body as a whole which only the physical touch and affection of a woman can bring to a man, well, as I said, you realize how important that special kind of love is....
i CAN HEAR THIS SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN
Me to
Just a kick ass rock and roll band
When real lyrics actually told a love story and “meant something.” ❤️🎸
You got that right👍
Yes
Met my old man listening to this
For those who don't know, this is actually about the death of Jeff's dog......................so it basically IS a love story dedicated to him. Having experienced the same thing, it takes on an even deeper meaning for me.
no such thing as aloe song anymore
My dad sang this to me when I was a little girl... I’m now 33 and hearing it makes me tear up ❤️
I sang this to my little girl when she was teething this and Honestly by Stryper would knock her out every time :)
I force my 9yr old to listen to it one day she will thank me... and yes im 52 .. wasn’t smart enough to stop having kids. They are my joy
Sounds like you have an awesome father!
💖💖 so sweet
I was tearing up the other day for the same reason with a different song from the 70's . Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. My father committed suicide at age 39 in 1979.
Still jamming out to this 4-26-23... Hello from Kentucky ...❤
Me too. Doesn’t get old
@bessiewoods-em7kf,She was my aunt Bessie!
I just gotta say, he feels every single word and puts his whole being in to his performances. I could watch him for days.

Frank Laws --- 45 and A*Fucking*Men..!!
I'll be 55 in April , Your so right Frank!!! Seen Tesla back in the great 80's nothing but the best!!!
lol...not the 1st time I heard that
This was my step mom and dads song and my stepmom died in a car wreck back in July, this song doesn't mean much to me but I've seen my dad ball his eyes out just by hearing the opening riff. "It's not what ya got, it's what ya give"
Getchu a guitarist who carries both while he plays. Acoustic and Electric.
What a song...what a band. Tesla deserved so much more credit. Their music was and is outstanding
Hello how are you doing?
I miss every last inch of the 80s!!! I still listen everyday!!!! It's in the blood of a 50 year old metal head!!
I think this song came out in the 90’s.
Oh if we could only go back🤘
Just saw these guys in concert on Friday . I was absolutely blown away how great they sounded. They said it was 37 years since they been to that venue. It was like traveling back in time to the 80s. Great song, great band.
0:31 Hell yeah always be one of the baddest songs ever !!!
I’m 18 years old and I been listening to my parents generation of music since diapers these guys know how to make music unlike the newer stuff today
i listened to my moms and dads country and my oldest sisters rock i fell in love with Rock and God calls himself the Rock
Glad to hear it.
My son and daughter are 18 and 21 respectively and they love the music we grew up with! Props to your parents!
Great name man 😂🤘
Yep they came out around the time metallica did and although didn't get the airtime they should've still managed to overcome n rock to the top!
Badass song every word has a meaning
Hello how are you doing today?
if I could only go back to the 80s the best time in my life I would in a heartbeat . I'm 50 years old and everytime I watch these songs it reminds me of a time when music was great and life was just so much better than what we have now in 2018 , if I got an offer from the devil I might just take it . hehe .
Yeah, I’m 51... maybe we could do a discount ? Lol!
Absolutely the best times ..yes 🌞
Back in the hallways at saks half the guys looked this way too...we had a blast back then ..class of 88 Lankford 😄
add me to the list ......
80's the best of TIMES
No matter how the time passes, This never gets old ❤
I was 20 when this came out... I'm 50 now... still jammin'! I still love me some Tesla!
Right there with ya Dave.
Same here , best music Era ever
I love this song as much as tommy whitten
I'm 52 know what you mean beautiful song
U sound like me all good
I'm turning 42 this Saturday, not that age matters, I'm just saying my age because thats about how long I have loved Tesla!!! Me and my cousin share the same love for Tesla!!!! Really cranking it up as teenagers driving arounIf we were boys I could use the terms rocking out with our cocks out but I won't say that...... But back on a serious note my cousin just passed away Monday her funeral Friday the 13th and my birthday 14th 😄 May she rest in peace going to be a lonely birthday without her but I will still rock out to Tesla ...... You rock Tesla don't change a thing
I'm so sorry for for your loss. I'm going t tesla/Styx/def leopard on August 21. I will light my lighter for you!
That's very sweet thank you for the thoughts and yes thank you for lighting that lighter!!
bridget roberts RIP to your cousin. She's up rocking in heaven now.
bridget roberts hi
+God bless your cousin. Happiness is remembering... and what you give and gave
I love Tesla so much! Back in 1995 their Bust A Nut album was the soundtrack of my life. I wore that tape out! (Yes, tape. Because I am that old.)
TESLA, You're fantastic! Let's be friends and have fun!
Just turned 46. Can't express how much this song means to me. Got to watch this music get buried and watch grunge take over. Still remember sitting with my friends chilling listening to this and more. I miss it so much kids today don't have a clue. It's all we had to do was buy cds and hang out. No smartphones, no internet, no worries just a fun concert and a weekend with great memories.
you can't really go wrong playing tesla. all their stuff is GREAT
I like it to

Me
Meee
My name is James and was just recently diagnosed with cancer. One of my biggest wishes is to meet Mr. Jeff Keith as a last request. I have been a fan since I heard their music when I was 10.
Please Mr. Jeff Keith, if you read this, know your music got me through many hard time in my life, and what I am going through now, even more. You are a great vocalists as well as a beautiful soul.
Thank You for your true love for life and people.
Hello James ..
I pray your wish is granted.
I'll keep you in my prayers.
I pray God Almighty will heal you and sustain your life for many years to come.
We tend to forsake the Lord yet the Lord NEVER forsakes us. Cry out his name with a sincere heart❤ God bless you!!
Matt 6:9-13 KJV Bible " Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
I've got a feeling he would be honored to meet you if you can get the message to him. Heard lots of good things about him.
@@irenedixon4615 Thank You.

It’s a lovely tribute to his dog he had to euthanize.
Cruisin' in my IROC Z28 with some cold beer, the T-Tops off (most likely with some form of a mullet) and the girls were diving in the back seat ready to ride the back roads of Northern Virginia!

This is Mary's comment not Joe. Lol
hi m 22. i enjoy reading comments here..people growing old with these songs.. thats awesome and this is such an amazing song. i get goosebumps just listening to his voice
Luv
Klyn Bhuyn I love hearing about the younger generation who their parents raise them right . I don't mean to be judgemental but people who appreciate older music generally are more respectful, and I'm sorry just decent human beings. God bless you, glad you have great musical taste. By the way I've seen Tesla live numerous times and they absolutely freaking Rock, cool guys, great human beings, and put on one hell of a show
Klyn Bhuyn dude, you ROCK, I've seen your comments on some of these other videos that I love man I love seeing younger people who appreciate real music you're awesome dude, your parents raised you the right way
I didn't get my love for Rock and Roll from my parent's JUST Barry Manilo
Klyn Bhuyn true..what a rush
By far one of the rawest songs written and onley played by this amazing band . The voice and thee acoustics in this is unparalleled. This makes me human
Listen to try so hard 🤯
If you haven't seen them in concert you don't know how good they are. Masterpiece
Yes , they are the best in person , loud and Awesome.
Omg yes 1989 at the dean dome they opened for poison
They are coming 2023 maybe I should go!
Lol, I saw them back in '89 when I was a young kid along with Poison. So good and very memorable for me.
I've seen them 3 times opening for Def Leppard '88,in a club in NJ in '04 and at The Chance rock club in Poughkeepsie,NY in '14.Excellent real rock 'n' roll band!
This song is timeless ❤
The memories of the 80s are really something special only us that were teenagers back then really understand the true feeling of what those days meant I would give anything to have a do over of those days
Tommy Moncrief ,me and you both. I would so go back
Yeah me too, I dont think we realized how good we had it...
@@grapeape9098 Even the not so good parts I'd do all over again. It all seemed so much easier then. 🌞
Hell yes me too
@@kellyjoiner4418 I hear that I would give anything to live those days again so many things I wish I could do over so many girls I wish I could have another chance with omg so mu much I would do over
This song brings me back to such a wonderful time to n my life. A time of freedom, of lifelong memories and in a way a time of innocence. Our music in this era was GOLDEN and will never matched again 🙌
you. speak the truth brother!!!!
Certainly 👌🦋
Tesla is such a great band that deserves so much more fame!
I agree. Have been with them since earth shaker city kid. My boys. Since drummer lost his finger.
Agree wholeheartedly
I have loved Tesla since I was 12 years old. And I’m now 46. My dad was a genius at finding the amazing bands when I was growing up. I grew up with so many great bands.
Never will grow old with this band....you can always count on THEIR music for whatever you feel like...it brings you something to make everything better...
Who's still Rocking in 2022? This is one of many songs that Rocked when Music was at it's Finest!
What you give you give and love of the lifetime was by far the greatest rock Ballads ever as far as I'm concerned
I am! I always will I hope! Things were so much simpler. And the music was the best!
@@ronditchen6664 what about Steelheart- I'll never let you go.. & Skid row I remember you.. and Slaughter- fly to the angels.. So many classic ballads from the 80s/ early 90s that have stood the test of time.
I am for sure!!!
Right now lol still a favorite.
Most soul of any 80s rock band.
Hey guys man I hope you're having a wonderful day and beautiful weekend can't wait to see you
This blows absolutely any music being released today 1000 times over
All day
faygo solos
Rhythm Future Quartet. Nuff said
Copy that for sure Ghostrider.
Easily
I have more Tesla music than any other band, just love them❤
it's crazy that i never listened to any of their music or any type of rock n roll for that matter really growing up.
now i'm instantly hooked like wtf, usually I only listen to rap.
I decided to check tesla out since my great uncle is part of the group lol
If you like Tesla you'll like most 80s rock. Welcome to the world of rock and roll :)
Rebecca Morris saludos Rebecca😉
Rebecca Morris great song

Who's the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you're livin' for?
Who's the reason for your smile?
I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way

Well, and a-yes it's true, everybody needs a special kind of love
And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of
You mean the world to me, you are my only
I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To carry on this way
I love ya so much I lose track of time, lose track of the days
I'm goin' outta my head, I'm goin' crazy, outta my head
I can't think about a-nothin' but your good, good love
And what you give
It's not whatcha got, it's what you give
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live
It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give
It's not whatcha got, but the life you live
That's it and that's right
Why it's the life you live
Oh play it pretty for the world
And you're the one that makes me happy, oh yeah baby
And you're the one always on my mind
Oh and a-yes it's true
You are my reason, my one and only that I've been livin' for
Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more
I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way

It's not whatcha got, it's what you give
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live
It's only what you give, only what you give, it's only what you give
It's not whatcha got, but what life you live
It's only what you give, what you give, what you give
It's only what you give, it's only what you give, no no no
It's only what you give, what you give, what you give
It's only what you give, it's only what you give

Is that good enough for the girls that we run around with?
Well, I do believe so,
It's only what you give, what you give, what you give
It's only what you give, it's only what you give
💙🖤
Why?
Gave everything to family and when the little ones were sick, slept with them on my chest. Even moreso in a water bed at that. It's definitely not what you got but what you give.
I can never get enough Tesla! Thank you. Just when I need music, they always seem to be the one I choose. Music with a purpose
Hello how are you doing today
This goes out to all whom understand why we really here for on this planet
This song hits hard... Dogs are a better class of people than people
Yup...and these days, males empower weak women and hurt powerful women
Dogs just want a pat on the head and a good boy. People man they will suck you dry and use you up until you've had enough and finally just say f it and be happy for you
OH HELL YEAH IM 65 STILL ROCKIN BABY .😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love Tesla can't get enough
Frank Hannon is a master guitar player that should have been reconized much more for what "HE GAVE" to the world of Rock n Roll music.
@Brian ScarneThat's For Sure.
I miss these days. These songs are my cherished favorites. Toby has one of the most strong singing voices. The music is so great.
Aah, loves Tesla. Frank is one of the most underrated guitarist, even to this day. Truly a shame.
I sung this to my first girlfriend and played the 12 string outside of her window at 12 midnight and too the cops came we've been married since 88..😇😇😇
Mark Darby Bravo 👏👏👏👏👍🥂 congratulations to the both of you God bless you 💃🕺👍👍👍🙏🙏
But, the song wasn't released until 1991.
good one I got married in 88 also still kicking and jamming
Mark Darby Wow.. You just brought me back to my HS bf and gave me the chills.. He was a drummer lol still.
All guy friends played the guitar. 1988 baby... Amazing year for me too! Life defining year
Mark Darby U meyers are a joke bill
It's 2021 and this song still get's it!!! And I know I'm not the only one 😘
No ur are not my friend...lol. But seriously.😜
"Love song" is awesome tune too! Im a 70's baby so when Tesla came out I was in my teens n I love all kinds of rock but I cant believe this shit they put on the radio...i dont even listen to the radio nevermind todays music. Unless its something new from a band I like...im not interested! Thx for reading. Keep real great music alive. Im just so happy I grew up in an era when music was great. Now...the shit they put out is sad.
And when I said "they" I mean ppl/ radio/ whoever...

I'm 35 and this song is on my everyday playlist. It never gets old. Takes me back to much simpler times but the words also hit me to the core of my soul.
P lb😅
Hey, I saw Alan Jackson in concert!! He was awesome!!
@@Hellosunshine777 Excellent. Real talent always come to the surface.
One of my favorite acoustic guitar openings for any rock song from any decade.
+thepayne78: You better believe it. Unforgettable and oh so memorable!!! Love that riff, it's so identifiable...
Oh most definitely I never get that riff confused with any other guitar riff.
little suzi, and this one...
True, I love ' Little Suzi. '
Simple but extremely meaningful
Never had that one true feeling like that im 40 i pray god will send me that special someone when its time
