Re: Tesla...You Bet!!!

Great rock band that was smart enough not to buy into the hair metal image thing. Saw them mop the floor with Poison once.

I dunno when I hung with them...they had alot of cool things to say about Poison. On that side of the fence they're all musicians and pros.

Also they were pretty flashy on stage.

I'll tell you this much...I remember me and my sister goin' to see Quiet Riot on the Quiet Riot III tour (and it was a great show) and there was this no name band called Poison opening.

We still enjoyed Quiet Riot but that night Poison wiped the floor with Quiet Riot (R. I. P. Kevin :wa:)

From the songs to the energy level...never seen a singer grab the bass player by the arm and pull him up and over,upside down over his entire body...bass player gets up and still playing and the singer off in another dorection...not missing a beat...this all shoved to the very front of the stage with no place to move really.

But that's another thread. :grinthumb

Re: Tesla...You Bet!!!

When I saw them, CC was looking pretty rough. This was early 90's. About halfway through the set, everybody headed for the beer lines. Then Tesla came out and blew the roof off the joint. Well there wasn't really a roof, but you know what I mean.

Even an old geezer like me had one Tesla album. Psychotic Supper was the album and I luv to rock out to Edison's Medicine. :nana:
