Tesla - Little Suzi

[@halg3625]

I'm a country girl from southeast Texas, and I grew up on this. My daddy loved Tesla and this band reminds me of him the most. It just has that southern rock sound that sits perfectly with me. My daddy passed down some of the greatest music ever written, to me and my little brother and we miss him terribly. But any time we hear Tesla, we remember him.

[@testiculardestruction]

Nobody gives a shit, shut the hell up with your unsolicited life stories.

[@EdgarHoover-oj7nz]

God hold your Daddy In good hands.

[@Andrea1542]

My dad is dying of cancer right now, one of the greatest gifts he gave me was a love of music. I'm so thankful to have him.

[@lrocker7799]

Lost my wife in February 40 years

[@lrocker7799]

I can play it all

[@davecote7125]

Every one needs this . I’m 54 gosh dang we had the best music

[@nath8282]

I saw Tesla and Great White in 1989 in Ft Smith, Ark when i was 14 yrs old. Before the show, some dude came out and said Jack Russell has a sore throat and GW will not be playing....but Tesla will play a longer better set. People were booing. GW riding on fame of Twice Shy....they were headliners. I s**t you not....Tesla rocked so damn hard by end of show everyone was going insane and they did 3 encores. Hands down one of the best rock n roll bands to ever walk the earth.

[@marlinrichardson3644]

Saw them with Iron Maiden in California in 1987 hadn't heard the album but we moshed then Maiden came out it was one of the most amazing shows I've seen by far I've pretty much seen all the heavy metal bands except White Zombie grrrr or Rage Against the Machine or Gwar what favorite band of yours did you not ever get to see live?

[@BonnChnd]

Had a very similar experience in Denver, late 80s. Tesla opened up for Bon Jovi. I knew from the first minute they were gonna rock harder and better than Bon Jovi ever could. My God they stole that show, to my great delight.

[@cattblakk1015]

I saw Tesla in WA 3/19 both nights...AMAZING!!!!!

[@frankdickinson7063]

I saw them at 14 also, opened up for Def Leppard. Great show, they were so high energy!

[@jamesholmes3499]

I saw them on that same tour at Hulman Center in Terre Haute, Indiana. Great White was really good, but Tesla was better. Also saw Tesla open for Def Leppard in 1987. Again, they were just as good if not better.

[@jeffsimon9558]

I just saw them in concert Saturday in Ft Wayne, IN and I cannot get over how great they sound still!! Took me right back to 1986🎉🤘🏻🎸🎤💜😎

[@CHAD_RAD]

Back when Tesla was a band and not a car

[@jodaddy7668]

Thank You For Them Words...✌

[@jadendodd9732]

Back when he was a scientist and not a band

[@rosedowner7529]

Or a scientist...

[@nordicpawsproductions465]

Or a base defensive structure in cnc red alert but imagine being so cool you're bands name is tesla.

[@johncate9541]

If you grew up in the 1980s, Tesla is still a band. Elon's just borrowing the name.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

Kick ass SONG. Love the guitar intro This whole album kicks ass

[@matthewball2122]

[@davidbuswa9425]

Great song by a great under appreciated band. Awesome solo. Music is an emotional outlet. Thanks for posting.

[@timsears951]

I would not say underappreciated ..they just never made it to that top tier ..still a great band ..also getting to big can have its issues as well ...the business is ruthless

[@robertwarren4248]

Great song then, great song now, great song always. I'm 61, also!

[@hopelines1397]

I remember back in the fun party days, the young ladies LOVED Tesla!!

[@litledevel15]

Hope Lines I wish it were the case for my generation... the ladies love shit pop and rap music. It just isn’t right.

[@blackestcat1111]

LOL WE DID!!!!😎😎😎

[@cattblakk1015]

[@juliannawilson4595]

Still do (almost 46) 😉

[@Mechanicalmarv]

"She's a lot like youuuuu". One of those songs that wont leave your head.

[@smbrTube]

He sang that line right as i read your comment.

[@jameswilliams-of3mv]

..80's is still the best! .. the whole album is a master piece

[@usnva5638]

I almost agree, but the 1970's had fantastic rock music too.

[@litledevel15]

This band is the only band I listen too from the 80’s... cause they sounded like they belonged in the 70’s

[@fritshits65]

A M E N !!!!

[@jimjones4838]

[@itssean3457]

Yea the album is good. This song is a really cool cover

[@shyannaroe9196]

I'm 32 and I've been jamming to Tesla since I was little girl bc of my dad. Still love them so much. Especially the song what you give. So so gooooood 🙌🏽😭

[@dbtownsend10]

Little Suzi's on the up, looking for a get-away Ruby tries to bring her down, she's looking for another way Little Suzi's on the up, heading for the spotlights Ruby finally gets up, lookin' for some quiet night And the music makes her feel so hot And she'll smile for the camera with all she's got Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true Little Suzi's on the up Little Suzi's on the up, now suddenly it's not a game Ruby is got to give up cause Suzi's plainly set on pain Little Suzi's on the up, cost in cost, your point is made Ruby is gonna hang around to make sure Suzi's okay And the music makes her feel so hot And she'll smile for the camera with all she's got Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true Little Suzi's on the up And the music makes her feel so hot And she'll smile for the camera with all she's got Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true Little Suzi's on the up O yeah she is Now she's on the up Little Suzi's on the up And the music makes her feel so hot Girl little Suzi, yeah

[@danhaley9393]

Great Album! Best Song! I own it on vinyl......

[@Boglehill]

I remember when they used to play this in the high school lunch room when it first came out... 1986!

[@tyjohnston8573]

One of the most underappreciated bands and albums of the '80s.

[@kellysong2256]

I listened to this song on my boom-box every morning while I got ready for my college classes. I rocked out to Tesla while I waited for my hot-rollers to be ready 👍 Bitchin' 😎

[@bradwilson5552]

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!! Always have been & always will be a diehard Tesla fan - with the intro is adsolutely the best version. Beatiiful chords - Love it

[@brandenmoore-dq1kx]

I remember jamming to this in my dads truck when I was little awesome band

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

Most people don't know this is actually a cover song, however Tesla did a spectacular job with it!

[@mikemcq10]

Wha? Who did the original?

[@richardhood3717]

Ph D in 81..... That version sounds a lot different though.

[@pinksasquatch]

True! The original was the 5th song to be played on MTV's launch in 1981.

[@BrainMeltGaming]

Best Version of this song is with that angelic intro

[@joacoballarati5943]

That guitar intro can surely make a grown man cry! The notes summon happy memories, very nostalgic.

[@matthewdowns9507]

just discovered the original version watching the first two hours of mtv here on youtube!

[@rontomasello2041]

I love TESLA, a very tuff show in N.E. Philly w/FasterPussyCat. Tesla was the headliner,they really had to work that and they did. I hanged next to there tour bus when the singer was outside on his cellphone calling home,never forget it,never repeat it. Much Respect. TRUE CLASS

[@bryanaustin7721]

Never knew this was a cover song. Way better than the original too.❤

[@BonnChnd]

I saw Tesla in 1988 at Big Mac in Denver. I was very pregnant. Bon Jovi was the headliner and I’m not a huge BJ fan but wanted to squeeze in one more concert before the baby came. Tesla came on and rocked the house so hard there was no way Bon Jovi could top it, and of course he didn’t despite the stupid flying over the crowd stunt that for some reason others have done since. Tesla one of the most underrated rock bands of their era.

[@Jackal]

I knew you werent a fan of BJ as soon as you said you were very pregnant hahahahahahaha I'm seeing Tesla on the 26th in northfield

[@BonnChnd]

@@Jackal that’s freaking funny and awesome!

[@tomseip3445]

Just saw them last year with def leppard and poison, they were awesome

[@sharrybucholz5786]

One of the best bands in the world

[@cpgadvisory]

This song has the most beautiful intro of any power ballad I ever heard.

[@boxingin]

What an awesome song from start to finish!

[@eddiepalmer4271]

no doubt

[@KYLESLOCUM]

This makes me think of partying in the Mesa with a keg and a coupler coolers full of jungle juice, a good campfire and a lot of friends

[@krisscanlon4051]

Tough little band. These guys had it going on. The key is this is hard rock not heavy metal and there was no home but metal in the eighties. It's all about marketing and placement. Those so-called grunge guys had the same energy level as this and we're the same age. Beyond beyond the fact these guys are great band the production on this is in your face. The great radio controversy. Very influential. If this came out in 1977 they'd still be playing huge arenas. These guys essentially very 70s.

[@juliannawilson4595]

YES what you said 🙏🎶

[@DanCollins-zb3yv]

I makes me think of summer bonfires up in Northern Michigan.Had three older sisters who loved Tesla.

[@tygrlili]

One of my all-time favorites!

[@Au_Ag_ratio5021]

She's a lot like you. ❤

[@jSS..]

Aaah....was 16 in 87...I had a little suzi on the up..and down..good times

[@richardzmiejko3285]

This album was the last vinyl I purchased.

[@harmonysmith5802]

Wow, I didn't know Tesla was old enough to have vinyl records.

[@blackestcat1111]

Such a great song- one of my favorites❤

[@sofakingawesome4492]

Love it still. Gets me in the party mood.

[@bendavidson7122]

GREAT DEBUT ALBUM,GREAT BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Belong in The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!!!!!!!!!

[@dogshouse1235]

Good luck with that. The R&R HOF is a straight joke. Buncha snooty dbags...

[@iainholmes2735]

From Jim Diamond's Glasgow tenements to sunny Sacramento. Tesla put the icing on this classic.

[@sharrybucholz5786]

They played this Rose Music Center Dayton Ohio Aug6 2019

[@sharrybucholz5786]

[@seth1276]

This is my jam for Labor Day weekend brothers

[@SuperGaleford]

If anyone cares…guitar in the into is tuned to DADGAD. The rest of the song is standard tuning. Knowing the intro is tuned differently should save you a lot of headaches

[@goatbut29]

Love to drum this song!!

[@bobados1100]

The loudest band i ever saw ! At least that night in Denver they opened for Alice Cooper Mcnickles Arena Great Show Way back in the 1900 's ....

[@angiepursell2980]

Best vocals of all time

[@donaldmitchell4700]

love that intro

[@stansam1]

Tesla kicks ass, one of the best heavy metal bands to come out of California!

[@curtismitts8470]

Tesla's not heavy metal they're hard rock , I'm just saying.

[@Metal-Mayhem-Ministry]

This is the best album to be released in the year it was released.

[@rickb6149]

TIL that PhD's original version of this song was one of the very first videos ever played on MTV. It aired during their first hour of broadcast.

[@izzy_6283]

What Tesla did for this song is AMAZING! They improved it 100%! In 86' i thought it was their song, but it was actually written by a band called PH.D in 81. The original version was a little weird imo but Tesla made it kick ass!

[@josiespringfield4808]

Love this song.

[@patriciapavageau5028]

This song is sexy!!!!I loved the 80s

[@timsears951]

the guitar riff is a monster

[@krisscanlon4051]

PhD original version is very different but equally as rocking yet very new wavy

[@danhartwigPerch]

Great Song

[@luvmuppets]

The original was a techno piece by a band called Ph D. It was one of the first videos ever played on Mtv.

[@bradwilson5552]

Yes ...... and it sucked ........ Tesla’s version is way better.

[@maylin1986]

First played on mtv? That's cool to know. Maybe Tesla saw/heard it and knew they could make it better. This is one of those songs where both can be appreciated, because if the one didn't exist historically, we wouldn't have the latter. 💛👍

[@joshrobertson8725]

Whp tf would hot dislike on this song? Im 32 yo and grew up on classoc rock. Tesla, eddie money, black crows, aerosmith, ect. Damn daters that disliked this needs to be biatch slapped
