  • honestly, i love Tesla's version ALOT more haha damn this band rocks. Rockalotupus 2009!!!!

  • I want to sing this song with my band too!

  • Tesla did a great job remaking this song! Best Band ever!!!

  • He Totally sounds like steven tyler

  • If you care about ROCK,l you hear this every day!

  • Work well done!

  • @adventchild11471, you know what would happen if you were in a room with Jeff, Frank,Brian(wheat rocks), Dave , and Troy they would be totally cool to you (my perception) "cause we're from Sac bay. PEACE, RICK P.S. Turn your self on to the rest of their music. (you can thank me later)

  • @adventchild11471, typical scorpio tight ass. Babe loosen up. Feel one of the greatest covers ever...And one of the greatest song ever. PEACE, Rick

  • @adventchild11471, you're SO full of shit, I have a version of this by a guy to his mother. Robert Plant would kick your ass

  • Great cover of a great song by a great band. More i say less it is Rock!!!

  • Damn, I am impressed...

  • yesss me again I love you guys OMG F H LOVE peace n music

  • Few bands can do any justice to zep but this is an excellent cover

  • @tythefrog, I'm inclined to agree. just sooo good the way they pay homage to the original yet make it there own

  • Tesla kicks ass. No more said!

  • New Tesla album (Twisted Wires) coming out this Tuesday - YAY!

  • TESLA  ROCKS in this video!!!! Love these guys!

  • TE AMO ANDREA, TEAMOTEAMOTEAMOTEAMOTEAMO

    Gracias por existir <3

  • Zeppelin obviously had the artistic ability to write the song, and they are an excellent band, but I think this cover is put together better. I like the guitar solo, and I especially like the ending when Jeff actually says 'thank you' and all that. Very good cover, beats the original in my opinion.

  • @tythefrog

    I'm going to have to disagree with you, wholeheartedly! I do enjoy my share of Tesla songs, but not in this case! This version comes off as pretentious, more than thankful. The Led Zeppelin version had much more emotion behind it.

  • @tythefrog Robert Plant wrote this song for his wife Maureen. By doing a cover of this song, it bastardizes the original meaning, and makes listeners forget the true meanings of this song. This is a song that should not be played in order to "Thank the fans" but to thank your spouse and loved ones, because where else would we be without them in our lives?

  • Awesome! "Thank You"!!

  • the whole album is fantastic, many of the covers on it are far better than the origionals

  • That was freaking amazing.. Awesome awesome job

  • Wow, and i thought all Led Zeppelin covers sucked. I was wrong.

  • @purplehaze5562, This Tesla search them, ALL their shit is KICK ASS

  • It's so incredible because it's faithful to the original. Wow!

  • This sounds great !! Who are these guys?

  • I came across this version of Thank You, and silly me, I had NO idea you guys covered it!. Very nicely done! I have a particular interest in this song as I just recorded a version of the same -- not at all in the same style as you guys -- but a cover nonetheless. I'd welcome you to check it out and please let me know what you think.

  • this is going to be my wedding song! love me some Tesla!!!!! great cover

  • Going to see them next weekend (May 13th) at Hampton Beach. SO excited! I've had the tix since February so it feels like I've been waiting forever. It's finally here. Yay! :)

  • im like the only 15 year old in my entire school that even knows who these guys are..... i only know a few people that know what actual music is, and not just autotune crap

  • Brilliant...Mah!

  • I have been a fan of this band since as long as I can remember...I have always admired their talent.....and with this cover...OMG these guys are truly amazing

  • Great Cover! Thank You Tesla

  • Sick cover !! Not everyone can pull this song off !! Nice job !!

  • TESLA Rocks... Great Cover.. Jeff Keith awesome vocals. Perfect!! \m/\m/

  • Fridin Love it! Thank YOU!

    

  • Fridin Love it! Thank YOU!

  • The dogs bollocks!!!! Best ever cover of any song ever x

  • Fucking perfect guys.......

  • Singer sounds a hell of a lot like Steven Tyler

  • @thanksalotTopanga and looks like him too

  • Amazing Cover...

    goose flesh!!!!

  • Gotta be honest...great all round, seen Zep but this is just about the best cover of the best song ever written...love it to pieces

  • Gotta be honest...great all round, seen Zep but this is just about the best cover of the best song ever written...

  • THUMBS UP FOR THE SOLO! AND 21 PEOPLE ARE NOT THANKFUL FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK SONGS OF ALL TIME AND ONE OF THE BEST COVERS!!

  • Imho: The lead guitar sounded more like "Pure Praire League" or "Marshall Tucker" than anything Jimmy Page ever played.

    "The Faces" were talking about doing a reunion, but Rod Stewart won't do it. The singer of Tesla may fit well into that slot w/ that cool raspy voice & personality he has.

    ~Just a though w/ no offense intended to ppl who dig this band.

  • @DonTerhune1200cc He's already spoken for. Tesla still writes/records great music and they also still tour.

  • freakin good ,,,,,,

  • Awesome...nuff said

  • I think this is my 1st time seeing this video. I admit...I was slipping. Thank you for posting this. I am truly inspired at the moment as a result of watching this. I am old school, new school and middle school rolled into one. I did get the privilege to see Tesla live a couple of times long ago when I was a teenager. Glad I knew their significance even then. They are timeless.

  • THIS SONG WAS COVERED AMAZINGLY BY TESLA. Great voive Jeff u guys rocked it. I love you guys u cant do any wrong in my eyes. keep on rocking

  • This is without any argument the best cover of this song that's ever been done. The guy singing sounds almost like Robert Plant, & until I saw this video, I even thought they might have borrowed Jimmy Page's guitar. It's the closest to a cover that could fool you into thinking that you're listening to the original artist since Todd Rundgren did Good Vibrations.

  • that guy at 0:13 is such a geek

  • @guitargod91000 GEEK?? you mean a rock and roll god dude keith is no geek........GEEK and get guitar god outta your name fag

  • @LaGunner1980 not the drummer the singer the drummer dude is awsome

  • @guitargod91000 dude jeff keith is the singer your lame as shit

  • Congrats and thank you!

  • Hey Dad,I know this aint your music..But will you pleaser listen to the lyrics..This is how I feel about Pat & it is what makes me feel good today & everyday..Just thought it would give you a bit of insight of me..She treats me good dad..So I'm good..

  • Good cover :) found it by accident, the singer looks a bit like Tom Petty...

  • Wow...

  • They did this song supurb, (can't say they topped Zepplin, that would be sacralidge); But they beat out Duran Duran's version from 15 years ago, and bettered out Five Man Elecetrical Band's "Signs" original version.

  • freakin sweet!

  • tesla does a great cover of a great song....the hammer of the gods are smiling<3

  • So what if the JPJ Organ parts aren't present . . . it's still a great cover :)

    And the double neck guitar = double awesome!

  • since I was born in Sacramento where I always liked Tesla. When I stumbled on this video this summer I was obsessed with it and through it rediscovered one of the great bands this country ever prodoced. Jeff is such a great songwriter and all of them are so great. This is the epitome of not just a cover...just mind boggling how simple and classic . I wish you could rerellease into the now. Rock on dudes

  • I grew up with the original... a favorite. I have to say... I think I love this version even more. Thanks for sharing.

  • Damn, great cover.

  • Collectively , tesla is the top band around , and has been for the last 20 or more. let me explain why... Tesla is only as good as the sum of their parts. No band member is not is not as good without each other , and that is the rarist thing you can find in this world. Jeff Keith said once that they wrote from the heart because they would be doing this for years to come. ( nobody writes from the heart anymore) . ROCK ON. Tesla is heart ...and the greatest rock band still to date.

  • They do an awesome job on Led Zepp's "The Ocean" too!

  • One Of The Best Covers Ever

  • Excellent cover.

  • Simply amazing!!! One of the best covers I've ever heard!

  • This is my parents wedding song when they heard it they bout flipped out. They both love Zeppelin and Tesla the song means alot to them and this remake is ONE OF THE BEST EVER. Ya don't cover any Zep tune (specially this one) without doing it total justice and Tesla did THANK YOU TESLA ya rocked as always

  • 3:39 sweet

  • Brilliant.

  • This version of Thank You sent shivers down my spine. Thank you!

  • This is what "cover songs" are all about!!

  • excellent cover.

  • wtf this cover is awesome

    excellent

    one of the best tributes to led zeppelin

    yeah great cover

  • It should be a crime to play bass with a pick...

  • only problem is the solo

    i mean yah it's good but the the way jimmy did it was better just opinion

  • @sgtmjames I think the point of this recording was to tribute, not trump...to honor, not outperform. (Out of huge respect.)

    Check out "Tesla Live HD - Coming Atcha Live" here on the Tube for one (of countless) examples of Frank's mad guitar skills. Dave Rude's no slouch either. ;-)

  • I just don't know why they're not as famous as AC/DC or Metallica, 'cause they would really have deserved it.

    TESLA FUCKIN' ROCKS DUDE!!!

  • A VERY underrated band, unfortunately. I've been a fan of Tesla since they first released Mechanical Resonance (remember when albums were on cassette??). Very talented group and awesome to see them at a live show.

  • @rippin1700 SAW THEM IN 93 WITH FIREHOUSE.@ THE CASTLE,AWSOME!!!!!!!!

  • <3 Tesla. \\m// 

  • amazing work...never heard of this band before before WHY???

  • I used to like TESLA, this version sucks(singing) but the music is great!

  • real good cover...I love it...Your voice is so much like robert's...

  • Excellent covet. This whole cover album, reel to reel is awsome. Every song on it.

  • what an amazing version of a brilliant tune :-)

  • Great cover.

  • I freekin love this song. Thank god for led zepplin. I love them.

  • I've always been a Led Zeppelin fan and Thank You from their 2nd album has been an all time favorite. The words of the song are very powerful and have deep meaning which is one of the reasons I dedicated it to Cindy a long time ago.

    Tesla brings this song to a whole new level and in my opinion far exceed the original done by Led Zeppelin.......

  • first time seeing/hearing this from tesla, two words: spot on. very nice rendition, aces.
