Tesla (Official Thread)

Re: Tesla...You Bet!!!

Tesla = one of the best and most talented rock bands of the mid to late 80's into the 90's. Their first few albums are almost flawless with incredible writing and playing.


In my opinion, they have long been unfairly grouped into the "hair metal" or "glam metal" genres and they are NOT the least bit hair metal. They were a straight up, in your face rock band!

Yes , agree with this ! Tesla was awesome when I saw them play with Poison, & Warrant in a gig in the late 80's..in fact they blew the other bands away..solid music !

Saw them live opening for Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour. Awesome concert!

I have only heard the Real to Reel albums, which I thought were surprisingly good. Which is their best album of original material?

 

[METALPRIEST]

Has anyone checked out their real recent stuff??

I would start at the beginning, Mechanical Resonance and their second album The Great Radio Controversy, both are highly regarded.

This. In my humble / honest opinion, there is not ONE single bad track on either one of these albums. This band was SO solid. Their third studio effort, Psychotic Supper is also top notch!

Interestingly enough, I have Little Suzi cranked up right now.
