Dynamic band, better than 99.9 percent of the 80's bands, Little Susie, The way it is, Love Song, Modern Day Cowboy...the list goes on. They kicked Ass.
Tesla has been a GREAT band for many years. I was fortunate enough to see them at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati during their 30 year anniversary tour. That place only holds 2500 people and they absolutely KILLED it. Unbelievable that he has been able to maintain his vocals throughout the years. Keep it going fellas. CHEERS 🍻
Jeff's longevity is extraordinary, vocalists very rarely can provide at a level within his, within consistency over a century. He's within a 1/4 dozen at most.
Woo! No need to mention bon Jovi, Tesla is a real Rock band!! Bon Jovi is a chick music band and should never have been in the metal or hard rock category! Great promotion for Bon Jovi that's why they Made better than Tesla and other bands, bang tango was another band better than Jovi, great white better, winger better many more!!
When Tesla did the unplugged on mtv back in the day that showed how talented these guys are. I think the “love song” was the first time I ever heard of Tesla.
@@teslarocks7345 That's right. Let Tommy do his own thing since that's what he has aspired to do for all these years. Tommy is happy with Resist & Bite and Tesla is happy for Tommy
@@TheCrumb74 you are correct. the most recent record that Phil Collen produced was just terrible. that being said, Tommy has every right to have his own band and Tesla has every right to move on without Tommy
It's really strange not to see Troy playing drums I was just very first drum technician 4 the Eric Martin Band ironically enough I also did drums for Mick Brown
@@pottymandotty4308 someone said health issue's on another post. In fact he yelled at me because I had the audacity to not realize it wasn't Troy..sniff😢
@@pottymandotty4308 check that. That guy yelled at me and turns out he was starting rumors. Troy is just taking a break from touring for a while to spend with family and friends, fyi
Strange not to see Troy back behind the kit. His replacement did a great job. Band sounds really good and Jeff sounds amazing after all these years. I would have thought his voice would be gone by now. Guess not!
Pretty sure Troy is still in the band and also pretty sure he is up there behind the kit. They do have a guy that cover drums now and then. But I think Troy is playing here.. I'm going to look into it.. Just looked at the band site and it says Troy is still their drummer according to the bands website.
Looking at the kit it seems to be DW and I'm pretty sure Troy is with Tama but he had a gold sparkle kit at one point. Point being, That very well may be the stand in guy..
@@yourdrummer2034 It's definitely the stand in guy. I'm a friend of Troy's (we used to play in a band together here when he lived in AZ during the early-mid 2000's). The guy that's sitting in for Troy is doing a great job though. Respect.
These.boys are bad. U seen them before rhey changed there name to Tesla. They are from sacramento. There name was City Kid. Played at a club called Oasis ballroom. I would think if these guys cant get signed. Nobody can. Frank Hannon is rhe music maker and great guotarist.
Well yea , these guys are older and we all know there vocal ranges have dropped through time. Probably the dude who has really preserved his voice the most impressive is Michael Sweet . Damn he can still belt it out.
Don’t know much about him, but his name is Steve Brown. Apparently a close friend of Troy’s. Just judging by this video he brings some energy and looks like he’s having a damn good time
@@renelogeais2941 You sir are correct! Steve is younger than Mick. Mick announced a few months a k that he is now officially retired. Steve is doing a fabulous job playing Troy Luccketta drum parts. I play this song alot on druns, Steve is right there playin identical drum parts!
@@toddscully256, from what I have listened to from live shows with Tesla, he is doing an awesome job. He also does a great job with the second album from The End Machine with George Lynch, Jeff Pilson and Robert Mason. Great collaboration of musicians.
The guy who is on drums is Steve Brown. Steve is the younger brother of 'Wild' Mick Brown. (Mick- Dokken-George Lynch-Lynch Mob) Unfortunately a few months ago Mick Brown is now retired. He announced it & Eddy Trunk verified it. Looks like the family name is carrying a younger torch! Awesome totally awesome!
@@richarddavis4141 Thanks for the update. I actually thought that might of been Mick, yet I remembered he retired, forgot about his brother, whom I think he is in one of Dokken or Lynch Mob or whatever George is calling it now.
All i hear is a killer guitar and razor blade vocals.... Saw Frank at the Dallas guitar show and he killed it vocals and all!!!!!!! He should be singing here as well. Just my opinion.
Tesla has always been one of the great 80s bands that I would go see over and over again
Frank Hannon may be the most underrated Rock guitarist in the history of music. Deserves way more props. Huge talent
Totally agree dude is a pretty awesome talent for sure...
Technically amazing , but he’s just a tasteful player . Doesn’t play anything that isn’t necessary.
Tesla may be the greatest underrated band of all time. Their music just fucking rocks!
HE IS!
I'm an old school guitar rocker guy..we know ,love, and respect him..just saying
They’re still killing it 40 years later. This band never got the credit they deserved!!!!
neither did Tesla... maybe its in the name
No question! I LOVE Tesla!
I see them every time they play in Vegas never disappoints and still sounds phenomenal
As I was watching I was thinking; damn, these guys look rough. Then I remembered and looked in the mirror. Times flies when you're alive.
That’s what smoking does to you.
@@adamphillips6747 Oddly enough, aging does that as well.
Reminds me of the reality of why my selfies look so bad. It's my face 😭😂
Great comment. I hear ya brother 😎
TESLA is so damned cool! They still got it, the hair, the sound, they've never changed. VERY HIGH respect for these guys!!!
The first record is an absolute classic! They sound fantastic here!
Band sounds great. Best I’ve heard Jeff sound in a long time
Was just about to say the same thing. Killing it.
underrated band even now

CHEERS 🍻
Saw Eddie Murphy there back in 83! But saw Poison/Tesla at either at the coliseum or Gardens in like 89🤘
Grew up enjoying these guys in Sacramento in the 80's when they were City Kidd playing at the Oasis Ballroom. Great guys, and just as good now!
Tesla still kicking ass, since the early days as an opening act for Great White, and now 40 years of Hangin Tough.
Wore my Tesla cassette out in my Rockman sport in the 1980s
Jeff's longevity is extraordinary, vocalists very rarely can provide at a level within his, within consistency over a century. He's within a 1/4 dozen at most.
This guy still sound amazing!!
Frank Hannon is such an underrated guitarist and vocalist,bout time he gets the respect he deserves 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love song and modern day cowboy are my favorites 🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They're the only band from back then as far as I know still crushing. Incredible.
Sacramento’s Tesla bad azz to the core...priceless!
Local Boys, my evil step mother worked at baselite with a couple of them. Keep rockin fellas
That's Steve Brown, the younger brother of former Dokken drummer Mick Brown
I love when bands can still do it like this - Bon Jovi take notes
Woo! No need to mention bon Jovi, Tesla is a real Rock band!! Bon Jovi is a chick music band and should never have been in the metal or hard rock category! Great promotion for Bon Jovi that's why they Made better than Tesla and other bands, bang tango was another band better than Jovi, great white better, winger better many more!!
@@stevengold5993 nothing wrong being a chick music band lol. Don’t hate the player hate the game.
😎🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇺🇸🇨🇱🛠I wore that cassette out in my work truck back in the 80s and still rocking Tesla today
So badass. Unmistakable.
For all the credit they didn’t get back then, they should get now. Sounds a lot better then a lot of other bands from that era.
damn, they still sound Great!
Saw you a few years ago at the House of Blues in Houston, and I plan to see you again this fall at the same venue. Fantastic show!
Killer song I grew up on Tesla mTV headbangers ball 6/7 eighth grade I was right there buddy
LOVE This Song
When Tesla did the unplugged on mtv back in the day that showed how talented these guys are. I think the “love song” was the first time I ever heard of Tesla.
TESLA 💥 Top Shelf as usuall...😎🤟
I am still wowed by this Band…”Timeless”
Wow.....
Awesome video.
They sound fantastic 😍
Saw them the day before in Jim Thorpe PA. Phenomenal
GRAN GRUPO 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Just awesome I get to see them next month can't wait
I am a big Tesla fan but Skid Row blew Tesla off the stage at this years M3 festival.
Soundin awesome but id love to see Tommy back.
Tommy is in his own band now called Resist & Bite and they are real good.
@@teslarocks7345 That's right. Let Tommy do his own thing since that's what he has aspired to do for all these years. Tommy is happy with Resist & Bite and Tesla is happy for Tommy
@@javtimestwo I guess, but Tesla haven’t made a decent album since Tommy went imo. Into the Now was pure class, and nothing since has come even close.
@@TheCrumb74 you are correct. the most recent record that Phil Collen produced was just terrible. that being said, Tommy has every right to have his own band and Tesla has every right to move on without Tommy
Hey Rock And Roll Hall of Fame!
Just ass kicking Rock N Roll!!
Probably my favorite Tesla song but it's not on my favorite Tesla album (Great Radio Controversy)
Jk looking great and sounding great 👍!!
Still just killing it
It's really strange not to see Troy playing drums I was just very first drum technician 4 the Eric Martin Band ironically enough I also did drums for Mick Brown
What? You did Mick brown?
@@wagonbrnrr6659 yes drum tech.
Where's Troy?

BELONG IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are certain new release CDs that must be purchased. Tesla is one, always!

@@SteveOuimette is Troy done as Tesla's drummer?
@@yourdrummer2034 WRONG! He’s having physical/health problems and can’t play. That’s the brother of Mick Brown from Dokken.
wish I can be there I'd be loven it
3/5’ths original now. Still sound VERY good.
Wonder why they aren't on the stadium tour 😂
I was thinking that too.
They still have it
Sounds the same when I saw them in the 80’s. That’s impressive..
I think you need to have your hearing checked!
@@troykruse5161 Troy, I think you need to have your attitude checked.
@@maj8301 indeed
Wow ! Fucken Tesla is like Dominoes Pizza! They Always Deliver.
Man tuned a whole step down
What happened to Troy , original drummer?
Is that not Troy back there on the drums 🧐🤔
Brian I ate too much Wheat is large and in charge on bass
At least these Fers sound great still! Most bands of this era suck live now! There best song IMO! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Who's on the kit?
Mick Brown from Dokkens brother.
@@ronmexico1975 where is Troy?
@@Crowhil13 Heard he has health/physical problems that’s keeping him from playing.
Whos playing drums
He still had a Decent Voice Left
His voice reminds me of Cartman singing.
Where’s Troy on drums? Is he OK
What happened to Troy?
Health/physical problems
Wheres Troy?
Health/physical problems.

It's in the original key. You're wrong
@@mirkodangelo4697 Nope you're wrong. The song is originally in Am, it's Gm here.
Dude DOESN'T age!!!
New drummer?
Mick Brown from Dokkens brother. Original drummer Troy having health/physical problems I believe.
Who is that playing drums? It doesn’t sound like Troy or look like him for that matter
Protest song about Reagan. Great song. Too bad that it's still relevant.
Looks like at one point he wasn't singing what's up.
Sunday was the best day. it stopped raining and wasn't less than 40 degrees. Global warming/ climate change is a bunch of shit.
Who's the drummer?
Don’t know much about him, but his name is Steve Brown. Apparently a close friend of Troy’s. Just judging by this video he brings some energy and looks like he’s having a damn good time
Steve Brown. He is the brother of Mick Brown of Dokken fame.
@@renelogeais2941 You sir are correct! Steve is younger than Mick.

Thats badass! I see Mick around all the time. Lynch Mob RULED
Bummer,they're missing a little something there... rhythm
@@jayteesgear Lynch Mob DID rule! 1st cd is perfect from start to finish!
Did Troy Luketta leave the band?
They announced a while back the Troy was taking a break. I’m not sure if he is coming back or not. Mick Browns brother Steve is the new drummer.
@@richarddavis4141 Thanks for the update. I actually thought that might of been Mick, yet I remembered he retired, forgot about his brother, whom I think he is in one of Dokken or Lynch Mob or whatever George is calling it now.
@@kikiki4592 The End Machine
Dang, the lead singer looks pretty rough here. Is he okay?
He always looked like shit
hes always looked that way I thought he looked and sounded great
Craig Goldy playing bass?
Is that a different drummer?
yes
The lead singer looks like Death warmed over....lol. Kidding aside they still sound great!
ALL that acoustic shit tanked this band. Great hard rock band
All i hear is a killer guitar and razor blade vocals.... Saw Frank at the Dallas guitar show and he killed it vocals and all!!!!!!! He should be singing here as well. Just my opinion.
