First Time Hearing Tesla - “Love Song” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@clubberlange4119]

Tesla is one of the most Criminally Neglected bands of this Era. Throwbacks that were far from GLAM and mixing some solid blues based Rock and Roll. "Edison's Medicine" will teach you more than you ever learned in school.

[@evhleppard]

Love the solo in this song. One of the more underrated bands of the eighties.

[@michaelasay8587]

Evhleppard...I don't think this song was a very big hit tho.,

[@swcoder]

@@michaelasay8587 It was #10 on the Billboard top 100.

[@johndalessandro6433]

This was THE most underrated band from the 80's. Prolly cause they didn't wear make up and try to look prettier than the girl fans that came to see them. Thier first album outta the gate they brought acoustic along with the electric guitars. No band in the 80's had the balls to do it. They brought all aspects of rock and roll to every album.

[@johndalessandro6433]

Asia and BJ...I am a subscriber and love your reactions. I have 2 requests from Tesla...pick one or both....but..you'll dig the song " Paradise " from the 5 man acoustical jam by Tesla live in Philly....and /or tesla's song they dedicated to Steve Clark from Def Leppard who died trajicly from alchaholism...it is a live MTV performance called " Song and Emotion " ....dig this music!

[@ljpuente8916]

Yeah one of the best unknown bands of all time… they were on the list of one hit wonders

[@theidajawho]

"Modern Day Cowboy", "What You Give" two more great ones. Lead vocalist Jeff Keith, guitarists Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch, bassist Brian Wheat, and drummer Troy Luccketta.

[@chellj8175]

Great songs !!

[@chellj8175]

Love Modern Day Cowboy, No Way Out !!

[@richardcranium5048]

Toke about it

[@2869may]

"The Way It Is"....

[@theidajawho]

@@2869may "The way that it goes..." yup great song also...

[@ehud87]

Tesla is a deep rabbit hole of great music..very underrated band!

[@TjM1978]

They kinda got tagged with the hair band label. They're a southern rock band

[@loristone9242]

SO underrated!!!

[@jimshepard3966]

​@TjM1978 Tesla is Tesla. Just a great rock band. They don't fit any genre. They're just a great, and underrated band. In no order my two favorite American bands are Tesla and Aerosmith. But I think Tesla is the coolest because they're down to earth.

[@albertoarenas4017]

You missed the first acoustic solo which makes this song EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL!! Please look for it to listen 💕

[@pumpkinhead34]

Very underrated band! Love me some Tesla. Got to meet their lead singer,Jeff Keith. I was 15 years old and in awe!

[@justjeff2849]

Tesla has a ton of hits...and still touring today. Jeff Keith Lead singer Frank Hannon lead guitar Tommy Skeho rhythm guitar Brian Wheat bass Troy Lucketta drums This video was shot at Cal Expo in Sacramento CA...Tesla's home town

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

i grew up in the “hair metal” era guns n’ roses etc. a lot of it was just sex and drugs this is a masterpiece of a song independent from its genre it’s just a great rock song with a timeless message supporting someone you love who’s in doubt “love will find a way” all that needs to be said ty 💜💙

[@sumonjamal1653]

Tesla (the band) is one of the best hard rock bands ever 🤘🤘🔥🔥They don't get enough credit and they have a big enough fanbase even now where they can record and tour consistently.

[@129shredder]

a criminally underrated rock band. If only more people would listen to their deeper tracks they would be amazed!

[@deniackeridge5273]

@@129shredder I cannot stress this enough!

[@generoberts9151]

Never get tired of this band. So under appreciated by the mainstream

[@ericelander9936]

VERY underrated band. A couple who were close friends of my wife and I divorced. He cheated on her. I was father to her two boys for awhile. I always felt this was her song. She eventually remarried but was tragically killed within a couple of years in a head on collision in Northern Missouri. Oncomig driver had a heart attack and veered across centerline. The oldest son remains the son I never had to this day.

[@metalmark1214]

A great Tesla ballad. Thought Asia and BJ you'd like this one. Check out out Modern Day Cowboy, What You Give, and Little Suzi. Thanks Paul for getting this played

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

Love Song is easily a top 10 power ballad.

[@shaunfoskey9958]

Tesla is a PHENOMENAL band!!! Great lead singer. INCREDIBLE guitar tandom that few bands can touch. The lyrics are top shelf. Only got to see them play live once. Looking back I should have went to see them more. Don't let this ballad fool you...these guys ROCKED!

[@codyandjessisalazar3429]

When Asia said that she loves how it makes her feel…. That’s how I thinkevery single time I hear this song!!! Just absolutely love this song!!!

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

Tesla and this song was huge. Oh the guys liked it too. The message coupled with their talent is timeless.

[@indianamom6081]

I've been to many Tesla shows (first one in 1987 at age 16). I've met the band multiple times, and my son met them when he was age 9 in 2007. Singer is Jeff Keith, guitars are Frank Hannon & Dave Rude (who replaced original Tommy Skeoch-who is in the video), bass is Brian Wheat, and drummer is Troy Luccketta.

[@medwardbrown]

I photographed them in concert not too long ago and they STILL give me the chills. Tesla forever.

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

I have seen them in concert several times and they put on such a great show back in the day!! 🤘🤘

[@bscott5965]

Still do!

[@robertiddings4697]

This band could kick a stadiums ass on any given day. They just absolutely rock!

[@bobbybaker475]

They are still touring together today. Mostly all original members. They have one replacement guitarist, he been with them since late 90's. Frank Hannon a truly underrated guitarist still with them (the one playing the double neck guitar in the video). The original drummer Troy Lucketta has had some health issues lately so they have had a replacement for him lately. They still drop new music all the time. Jeff Keith the singer is a wonderful person and a complete nutball to talk to. He is so funny! They are a wonderful band and has been rocking us diehards since 1986!!!!

[@aquarius2287]

We saw a bunch of 70’s & 80’s bands in 2019 & these guys were probably the best of all of them. They still sound amazing!!

[@shellycasbeer3775]

I was at this concert when this video was filmed. Oh my does it bring back some fun memories. NorCal!!!!!!

[@rza-po1gt]

Jeff Keith..lead vocals Frank Hannon…lead guitar Tommy Skeoch…rhythm guitar Brian Wheat…bass Troy Luccetta…drums They were from Sacramento, California

[@deelawson4551]

Love Tesla! Has always been in my top 3 bands! Please do more! Keep On Rockin'

[@AsiaandBJ]

Rock on!

[@Rtitus141]

One of the BEST concerts I ever attended. Great band but they step it up live

[@dwood21851]

man, i listen to this song almost everyday when im working but its been 25-30 years since ive seen the video. so nostalgic. Tesla gets bulked into the 80's hair band genre but they are so much more. a true blues based rock band

[@RogerThatImages]

The Lead Singer is Jeff Keith, and Frank Hannon is the Lead guitarist. This was shot in front of their Home Town, Sacramento, Ca. I am going to this same location (Cal Expo) for a country concert today. Although sadly, the amphitheater in this video is long gone.

[@RFM-CDA]

I was there that night. They played this song 5 times to get the footage needed. That amphitheater was the best venue I've ever been to. Held about 10k people and all the shows I went to there were general admission and you could sit in the stands or stand at floor level. One thing for sure is that when Tesla played locally it was electric. They are phenomenal live!

[@BoxerRick]

I saw these guys with Guns and Roses. They were great. They sung a remake of “ Signs” that rocks the house too. This is a great love song!

[@poguemom3]

I saw them with Poison!

[@robycip9715]

My favorite Tesla song is - Tesla - "Song And Emotion" - it is a tribute to Steve Clark, the guitarist from Def Leppard who died on January 8, 1991 after taking a toxic mix of painkillers, anti-depressants and alcohol. Tesla opened for Def Leppard on their Hysteria tour. >> the riff on this song is exactly how Steven Clark plays guitar AWESOME SONG!!!!

[@cocacola247girl4]

Tesla is my all time favorite band!!! I can relate to every one of their songs! ❤TESLA FOREVER!!!

[@jimbusby8298]

One the Most Underatted bands ever.... But one of the most raw talent bands ever 🎵🎶🤜

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Tesla is great, great band and although they were popular, they were still underrated. I love the song SIGNS by them.

[@torque122]

Spectacular group. Another massively underrated band.

[@chellj8175]

❤️❤️❤️Tesla!! Awesome voice !! His stature was small but what a great voice !! They were a great high energy band !! It was a big song - Yes !!

[@jenturner8076]

Thank y’all for doing this one❤

[@stephaniewashburn7700]

Definitely one of the most underrated bands EVER. Amazing catalog 🖤

[@rct7rct785]

Love this song and band. Sooo many memories. I was in the Marine Corps in 91 and had a buddy that went to school with these guys in Sacramento. Always talked about them in boot camp and SOI. Had a 96 for the 4th of July and went up to Sacramento for the long weekend. Tesla had a few months off before they started their European leg of the Phsycotic Supper tour and they all came over to my buddies house to see him on leave and we partied all weekend long. Great time, awesome memories

[@AnthonyAsher-kk7kj]

I'm grew up in that era. Tesla was as big as any other band and they even survived the grunge movement but then suddenly they broke up. They are far from one hit wonders. They even inspired Mtv's unplugged series because there 5 man acoustical jam was so big. Facts! 💯

[@sherrymeyers75]

Love this song next 1 you should check out " what you give"

[@DAMHoo]

Tesla is one of the most underrated bands ever.

[@metalchicdeluxx2683]

I just knew Asia would love this 💜

[@RobertMichaelStewart]

This band was so very authentic live.... I was blown away when I saw them in the 80's.

[@laurarominger2073]

Sometimes songs come into your life right when you need them. But sometimes they come decades before but they touch your heart and you’re not sure why. I had this on my iPod and mixed cds ever since it came out. Pre marriage. Pre kids. Then in 2013 I needed this song after my divorce. Then just a few years later my new husband and I saw them in concert and I had tears in my eyes because God was right. Love will make it back to me. Happily remarried now for almost 9 years. Beautiful lyrics and guitar.

[@Thedesertguy75]

we were happier as people back then, that's what's missing, just look at everyone's face, genuinely happy to be alive.

[@MikeHart72]

Great analogy. The 80’s were awesome. Not that I wish to discuss politics but……these days there is an orange jackass who has created a massive atmosphere of hate and anger. The days of being care free and getting along with almost everyone no matter the difference of opinion needs to come back

[@josephdurham6051]

"cummin' atcha live", "hang tough", "makin' magic", "modern day cowboy", and " little Suzie" are all great Tesla songs, among many. The first two albums, Mechanical Resonance and The Great Radio Controversy, are strait fire, start to finish

[@joelucas1017]

[@kellymckinney9050]

Jeff Keith has the most contagious smile I've ever seen. I love when they are doing interviews Jeff's says"Im just the guy they hand the mic to! Love it!

A GREAT GREAT GGGRREAT LIVE BAND! THEY SOUND JUST AS RECORDED LIVE! 🤘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍

[@kennyb214]

These guys are my home town band. I grew up in Sacramento, they started out called “City Kid” but changed to Tesla when they got their first record deal. So many great songs. You guys talked a lot about the singer but Frank Hannon is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.

[@hunnybunnyssunshineliving5155]

[@paulminchk6145]

This was such a great time to grow up with this music. Tesla and so many other great bands.

[@Aerofan2020]

This was our summer jam. The ladies loved this song.

[@seandobson6221]

Tesla is one of my favorite hair bands of the 80s. I love Edison’s Medicine, Song and Emotion, What You Give, also you should do the live version of Signs.

[@JessBecause77]

Paradise is one of their lesser remembered songs but it's beautiful. It was one of my older sister's favorite songs. So I play it and many of her other favorites on her birthday. She absolutely loved Tesla.

[@donbergeson6771]

I met the singer, Jeff Keith, on the Monsters Of Rock Cruise. Then he happened to be in the same empty area of the airport on the way home, so I talked to him a bit. Great guy. Took a couple of photos. He even filmed a birthday message for a friend's daughter for me. He had taken his mom on the cruise for her birthday, and she was an awesome lady. She was on the phone having a loud, hilarious conversation with someone when I started talking to Jeff and when she got done she came up to me and gave me a couple heavy squeeze hugs, thanking me for being her son's fan. Just a very cool interaction I didn't expect off the cruise.

[@derekhudson3523]

In my opinion far and away the best Tesla song. Vocals, guitar, solo that has a second wind and smooth outro.

[@anthonypettipas6885]

I was there. They played Reno on 4th of July. Went to that show. Then hit Sacramento. Cal Expo. Their hometown. July 9th. 1989. They KILLED IT!

[@Gordy63]

My favorite Tesla song! Amazing rock song. Keep coming back to the well 🤘

This is one of my favorite bands, ever. Had the pleasure of meeting them a few times. Great guys and down to Earth. Another great song is "What You Give". Y'all should definitely check it out.

[@thesparkledivers]

The ending of this song is so warm and fuzzy lol

[@kennethickes700]

This video was filmed in their hometown of Sacramento. I remember when they just to be playing in the nightclubs until they hit it big. Shows you what perseverance does for you

[@Triggerhippie70]

I remember when this song came out I was like oh my god this song is the shit! And I’ve loved it, and I’ve loved Tesla ever since

[@pwr27986]

I saw them in concert a few months ago. They sang this song it was so cool. They were super popular when I was in high school.

[@davehess1019]

one of my favorite rock bands, incredible music, I met them in person, they did a video in my home town of Coatesville Pa. for the song Gettin Better, their road manager came into a hardware store where I worked because they lost the hardware to put their stage together and he came in the Hardware store, bought the hardware, asked my boss if he could spare a couple guys to help build the stage they were going to perform on, me and my buddy Mike Madonna put their stage together, we were invited to the video shoot and drinks after the video shoot with the band and we got drunk with Tesla, autographs, pictures and a lot of fun and a hangover.

[@robynmawer769]

Still my Favorite Band!!! Saw them last yr!

[@Gashouse69]

Saw this band when they opened for Def Leppard back around 86-88. Nobody had heard of them at the time as it was just before their debut album had begun to get traction. They blew the crowd away! I went out the next day and bought the cassette.
