Tesla was one the PUREST hard rock bands, in the 80s. They never got the TRUE recognition they deserved.
@rickchyczewski5765 жыл бұрын
Its because they were lumped in with glam and still are mixed in with the hair metal bands. Its also because Jeff Keith was not the prettiest of lead vocalist of the era. I always considered Metallica,GnR, tesla and queensryche as the best of the 80's. The rest were shit for the most part.
@davidilbery33305 жыл бұрын
The best in my opinion.
@rickchyczewski5764 жыл бұрын
Keith was a good vocalist. If they had a stronger frontman they would have gotten much more recognition. I know, I will get blasted for that and the songs are forever imprinted with his sound. I am just saying. His voice was on the weak side and he did not have a strong presence. Every great band, the frontman has to either have a great voice or a great stage presence or both. Jeff had neither. That they made it as big as they did was testament to the band and Keith for doing a whole lot with a little.

Rick Chyczewski I totally respect your opinion but Jeff is really nice person and I’ve seen Tesla live three times. They opened and show played in the middle and headlined one. He puts on a good show. He once in a while gets the crowd going but he is good frontman
