I'm fighting cancer at the moment, this song gives me so much energy every time I listen to it and helps me get through chemo therapy.

[@JackieNihil]

That sucks. Hang in there, hang tough. Stay strong 👊🏻

Jesus rose from the dead. Trust in Him for your salvation

I hope you get better! Hang tough! 🤘🏼

[@shaneshepherd7753]

God I miss this music. Thank you Dad for showing me and teaching me all this!

[@michaelzeinert2074]

Many other bands out there from the 80's. They all rock ! Tesla, def lep, white lion. You name it, they all have good vibes and great riffs ! The drummers rock too ! Rock on my Boi 🤘

[@larryturner6859]

Your dad knows what's up ❤

[@PlaceStillMatters]

I wish I had a son like you. 😂 I only had daughters and they didn’t appreciate this great music I grew up listening to. Tesla was a no nonsense rock band in the middle of the spandex, hair spray, and makeup era. The record execs fiddled with them early but they came through as a regular guy rock band. Making Magic and Hanging Tough! Love these guys. ☮️

[@lespaulcustom7309]

No pink outfits..no f'n lipstick on a dude.. just awesome riffs a good hook. Real music..

[@stuco]

you're defending the outfits here? lol

[@johnkrolczyk2241]

This still holds up 30+ years later

[@arkangel7j]

[@jimjones4838]

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Tesla was a monster rock band. The complete package. The guys could play anything. Great shows too. Real musicianship.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

They played everywhere they could too. Toured with everyone, Jackal, Great White, Def Leppard, Jackal, Cinderella, Scorpions.

[@tommytrinder.1226]

[@rodrigozamo]

Still IS

[@tinamccoy2967]

Facts! Several great songs! They stood the test of time. I seen live twice they rocked it!

[@jjportala]

I swear they blow whitesnake and quiet riot out of the water

[@silversurfstudio]

Underrated by whom? These guys were massive during the day - one of the top bands. Selling millions of albums and selling out stadium tours year after year.

[@The_Man-JIO]

I didn’t find this song, it found me 🎸

[@jebr7000]

I'm pretty ashamed of myself this evening...just listened to this full album for the first time and I'm 47! It came out when I was in high school, and I liked their music, but I never delved into it! Album is solid and quite stellar! I guess I'm better late than never...

[@nightstalker2217]

never too late to appreciate this rock solid album.. I am almost 60 and this is the first I've listened to them since the 80's

[@BaltimoreColt]

13 tracks and at least 10 of them could've been hit singles. Great album.

[@stringemup5941]

Not quite as good as debut…. Still a HELLUVA record!!!! I listened to these 2 records constantly as a HS senior/college freshman! Was watching the day MTV debuted “Modern Day Cowboy”! Hooked near instantly!

[@phantomf4g304]

It’s NEVER too late to turn the volume nob to 15 and rock out!!

[@pstewartdrum]

Masterpiece

[@jamesbrummett6739]

I kicked cancers ass last year and it's songs like this that are big motivators for one to reach down and realise just how strong you really are. Tesla is my favorite band of all time. I love these guys and thanks for soooo many good songs. Fuck cancer!!!!

This band...his voice, one of my all time favorites.

[@michaeltate227]

"You stay locked away inside your room because you don't know what this world is coming to. You hum many parts because you don't know the words. And the piper will play because he don't know what to say. He's a lot like you. Yeah. He's a lot like you. Yeah. He tries hard every day... to be free... and fly away."

First song I showed my boy , I Hope and Pray he gets it free , rock and roll is a freedom movement from the pushback from the in enslavement we are under. Think about it

I was 11 when I met my future brother-in-law. He was driving an early 80s camaro. He asked if I'd heard "hang tough" as I went on a store run with him. I said oh no not that new kids on the block shit?! He said oh no, this is way more kick ass. Damned if he wasn't correct!

I’m 57 now and at the time of coming out of the 80’s glam band ( which we’re great in their own right) Tesla really help create the best new music of a new era , Jeff Keith has that distinctive voice that even today 2 notes and you definitely know it’s him . They’re still doing great . I’m glad they’re still bands from this era kicking off great music. kix is another great example. Still kicking around. Another band doing exceptionally well that’s stood the test of time is Testament. Best they’ve ever sounded.
