Tesla ~ Song and Emotion

[wusundowma]

God, they really kick ass, even on this crappy camcorder -- even though they are definitely not young!

[danielletizia]

just listened to this on my itunes and trying to figure out how to play it and during the last aprt of the song got emotional and played what i felt and heard and got pretty close just thinking holy s*** this is one of those great songs that really didnt get the respect it should have. amongst rocker yes but mainstream it didnt it make me sad

[Blainebambambam]

TESLA/ELECTRIFYING ....

[mrrogue72]

I fucking love this song RIP steve clark

[evilartist]

those are some FUNKY ass pants!!!

[mrrogue72]

@evilartist When you can play guitar like him you can wear whatever the FUCK you want.

[evilartist]

@mrrogue72 You kinda have to figure people who can hear well and appreciate your music can also see you..... It'd be like going out with a hot girl and she sounds like SPONGE BOB. Be honest man, you have a pair just like those on as we speak,lol

[BerlinMusikmaker]

DONT LET SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE !

[scottd38]

saw these guys when they were kids playing in a down town bar in sacto. Ya they were bad then too!

[88mpny]

I saw TESLA live in 2009 and they were awesome.

[SeventyGTX]

These guys can kick the crap out of most of the newer bands today..........on their worst day! Outstanding music!

[defbree2]

R.I.P STEVE MISS U

[bertswife]

I had a chance to play b-ball with them in a back alley in Denver back in the late 80's Wish I would have!

[bookittysdad]

Yeah, they were doing that with Great white in Shreveport back then too. I got to watch to teams and roadies play against each other. The day before the Concert. Man, I havent thought of that in forever.

[riostryper]

i like this song....so feeld....

[RAMIREZ1838]

What i love the most about is the essence of the song, how powerful it feels. The way it begins smooth and then slowly climes into a really powerful and emotional climax. Truly a Music at its Best. FTW Tesla.

[gagebrwn]

Steve Clark was the man....very-under-rated guitarist.

[normynoless]

RIP Steamin' Steve Clark!!!!

[rattlesnakestheband]

Just say Tesla in Hutchinson, KS, they Rocked!!!

[edktm69]

One of the best 80's-90's rock bands, great to see they are touring again, I'll be there. FUCK YAAAH!!

[jeretreece]

tesla fucking ROCKS

[TruthUnderFire]

Gives me the chills EVERY time.

[gnrhippie]

such a sad song, rip Steve

[TruthUnderFire]

Arguably the best Tesla tune ever written.

RIP Steamin Steve!!

[christypohly]

If you know talent these guys are better than an oldie. There a legend. In my mind they always live on.

[RAMIREZ1838]

Something that i really regret is the fact that i was born in an era that is Truly full of shitty music, i feel like i missed out on the true years of music.

[Tia8142]

as long as you listen to it now and truly appreciate you only missed out on live shows but with fans like you their music lives on.

[blueracer17]

Don't worry man, every generation says that. I was born in 76 and love the 70's stuff and this stuff too. I just saw tesla live in sept. and they were absolutely awesome live. Talk about guys that care and don't take a night off, they are it. Sound was great, spot on performance. This song is great too!

[TheDrummer178]

Saw Tesla in Greensburg, PA in November. They were awesome! Extremely refined and sounding as good as ever.

[acdcman89]

RIP STEVE CLARK

[vhailor303]

IMO sounds poor related to album version or other live arrangements. But this doesn't change the fact, that it's my favourite Tesla song, and the song that got me into Tesla - especially the solo/lead starting at 4:05. It's really simple and really effective :) .

[tdrew97]

Awesome song, love the riff from 3:31 - 4:05 .

[richardsiscannon18]

looking for a video of this song that isnt live. great song

[zzzcvbn2000]

I love the lead guitar part behind the vocals from 5:23-5:45 it makes me have goosebumps

[even200x]

Steamin' Steve... THE RIFF MASTER LIVES ON.

[MelanieRenee]

I dont think any band could ever be better than tesla. fucking amazing!

[robracer25]

THE MOST UNDERRATED 90's band, EVER! I saw Tesla open for Def Leapord in '88 and have NEVER heard Joe Elliot talk about it. GOD, TESLA whipped thier ass! Blew me away! Bad-Ass twin leads, ultra tight set! True Rock!

[pqshindelus]

This is a great song by a great band. Tesla was always unfairly labeled a glam band. They're not, they're just a good old fashioned rock band, and this is a good old fashioned rock song.

[Mainrollman]

@pqshindelus

I agree 110%! No glam here, just straight up blues based rock and roll!

[duck0080]

Steamin' Steve

[alli3681]

when i was eighteen iwas working out in the gym and heard this song and it made my blood boil and ran shivers down my back! that was the first tesla song iheard! i love this group ,and everytime i would mention them a lot of people would laugh at me but i dont care they still jam! they are even better live! i'm not a stoner ,i dont have long hair, i,m not even white but i can appreciate good music , and this group can kick ass! the lead singer has got this voice that can make you cry!

[BamaKattt]

17 years ago today, RIP Steve, you are missed.

[normygto]

In The Round. Remember the good times! I'm sure Steve does.

[kaktusas86]

Steve Clark, I always will remember you.

[coryfields]

R.I.P Steaming Steve Clark!!! I feel your pain.

[badbadsuperbad13]

Good video,, Fort Mcdowell Casino is NOT in fountain hills! Fort Mcdowell is on the Fort Mcdowell Indian Reservation. Support the Yavapai Nation.

[teslajunkie]

I stand corrected... thank you... glad you like the video.

[rusteeee12]

yeah i wished i still had long hair like i used to ,to head bang,but now i'm bald,well shit happens ha ha .anyway i still head bang

[Pamathey]

I love Tesla.

And I wish more young guys wore their hair long nowadays.

[classic78roz]

Psychotic Supper is probably my favorite...Bust a Nut is damn good too. ...along with everything else they've put out! Tesla Rocks!

[xtratabasco]

very good

[dlosterman]

FUCKIN A,I luv Tesla.

Can't wait to here more.

[rOBBBB007]

To Steve Clark... u.u

[LADYSAVS1]

Wow I love Tesla! They did this as a tribute to Steve Clark? Very cool. He was an awesome guitar player and a gorgeous man. RIP STEAMIN' STEVE.

[agatkag]

This is too cool.

[landar24]

tribute to steve clark(def leppard) LET US REMEMBER HIM FOR HIS WORKS NOT FOR HIS DEATH! RIP whitelightning!

[ddelacruz27]

What is Tesla's best CD? I say Phsychotic Supper, anybody else?

[sportakuss]

awsome song, great musicians perfoming a song for another great musician

[deflep07]

white lightning

[dheatley1976]

[gailweathersfan]

[smokingkindbud2]

[74955]

i could tell how long ive been a tesla fan seen them at least 20 times seen them this year in tulsa

[alwaysandnever67]

I think I would DIE if I was this close to the band. I've been a fan since I was a baby.

:)

One of the FEW young people who admire this amazing band.

:)

My favorite.

[smokintony20]

add me to that very small list, My parents are very big tesla fans, and i've been one for the 17 years that i've been alive

[fridogg]

those pants just got to go

[prettymarcia]

Ya know, i pissed this band off once. it was kind of a great moment for me!

[normygto]

And why? Did it make you feel like a "real" bitch then? Was this the first time you weren't a "groupie"? Elaborate... People want to know why you think you're so great.

[normygto]

I'm impressed. You're so cool. Can we all hang out with you?

[dlosterman]

Marcia,marcia,marcia. Are you one of the Bradys?

[Jimmypage512]

I love the break down at 2:40.

[74montecarlo]

their best tune

[74montecarlo]

I got tix for feb 22 at myth in minneapolis MN. !!!!

[mgross20]

Haven't heard this song in over 15 yrs. Awesome, still the best. Love Tesla. Will see them in Columbus, Ohio.

[normygto]

You are beyond lucky! Tesla will blow you away! They are so far superior to any other "80's" metal/ hard rock band... and then some... Jeff still sounds like he did in the round in '86??? Awesome show!

[normygto]

I left the valley shortly before this concert, unfortunately. Even through the recorded, unmixed, live sound, it is obvious to me that Tesla is still the best live band I have ever seen and more importantly heard! I don't even have to "Toke About It"! Long live "Steamin' Steve Clark"!!!

[tolgapala]

great song from a great band. thanx for the post. cheers! i still wish it had a better sound quality though. :)

[foosmama]

I ♥♥♥ TESLA!!!!!!!!!

[grgtys]

RIP STEVE CLARK :-(

[ilovericksavage]

oh yea rip steve!!

[walnuthead777]

Saw this band in OKC at Diamond Ballroom. Absolutely one of the best live bands I have ever seen.

[1listeningGoodmusic]

hmmm sounds like steven tyler :) tesla is pretty good.. found out about them like 15 minutes ago :D

[jinabeana]

What?! Do you live under a rock or what? Tesla is the greatest and most under-rated, under appreciated band-Mega-talented, they rock! Better late than never-lol!

[mike6427]

frank hannon is sooo good.

[ilovericksavage]

have you heard franks impression of steve?

[1mysticdreamer]

Steve Clark was the best, may he live on through his music forever Love ya Stevee rip

[orzacks]

Wow Tesla kicks ass!! Check Out my band ORZACKS ROAD, we have a Jack Johnson/Tesla meets Pink Floyd sound. Please leave a rating or comment, and if you like it please add yourself as a friend at myspace-com /orzacksroad

[moose2cool]

im going tonight to see them in fondu lac wi time to rock to one of the best bands ever

[spacetruckin1987]

Actually its Dave Rude man.... no Tommy in this line up. Sorry bro!

[teslajunkie]

Yep, this would be Dave Rude. Quite a match huh? I'll always miss Tommy being with Tesla, but they couldn't have found a better guy for the job!

[Maxharddrive64]

RIP Steve Clarke.... Ok Tesla fans who is this guitarist playing with them? Its not Tommy Skeoch is it? I've met him quite a few times and it sure doesn't look like him. Im guessing this concert was filmed while he was rehabbing.

[Maxharddrive64]

LOL or maybe my eyes are just failin' me

[bilclark]

yeah it is guys...its Tommy! Its the entire Tesla lineup in this video

[gripperm]

The greatest tribute song ever

[pocostacos]

Nice pants For The singer :o

[rockethtown]

RIP Steve Clark

[fuckinscreenname]

Frank looks like he belongs in the Grateful Dead.

[Mikeb843]

thats funny frank hannon is one of the best guitar players ever. he kicks ass

[hamletp]

one of the most underrated songs of the 80's

[RageAgainstErica]

Hey, look at ol' Jeff! He looks so much better! The last I saw of him, he looked like a corpse. Good for him. :3

[waterflu]

Great tribute to Steve.

[mnlakesgirl]

Great performance. I found this video referenced when I was looking up Steve Clark info in Wikipedia. Hard to believe he's been gone so long...RIP Steve.

[eduar1970]

Excelente homenaje a Stemain'. Def Leppard es una de las bandas mas influyentes de la historia. Descansa en paz Steve y que Dios te guarde en su gloria.

[ubermants]

yea tesla is a great band!!!! am 20 and never got a chance to see steve clark live!! but wen i hear this song and look into the sky, i can see steve clark rocking! like he did.

R.I.P. steve clark

[ziglar12]

Tesla is a great band, never got the credit they deserve! Top 5 bands in my book. Saw them open for def leppard in 80's ... during the hair band crap. They came out like they are now jeans, tee shirt(tank top) and ROCKED. Still do, this is one of there great songs, however they have many more, if you like rock guitar music and rock in general, check out there albums, top notch!!! Wish they made it. Unfortunate they never headlined an arena. For me, I enjoyed their intimate venues!!!!

[jasky502]

Dear ziglar12, i'd like 2 check out the album that features Song & emotion, but i can't remember the name of it. Can you help???

from jasky502

[Kamd21]

hey its Pyschotic Supper and its track#5

[jasky502]

Yo Kamd21, `preciate the info, i hope Psychotic Supper is still in print, because if not, you tube will be the only way 2 hear the song!! Thanx again

[Kamd21]

i think it is through vh1, and no problem at all glad i could help.

[slongman]

I think this show was in Phoenix, AZ? GREAT VIDEO!!!

[eldiablo1979]

R.I.P. Steve

We wont forget u!

Brilliant song!

[sjice69]

My favorite Tesla song. These guys rule.

[smc6191]

Steve Clark was , is and always will be the best guitar player to walk the face of this earth.... This song just shows how loved he really was! I just wish he saw that. We love you Steve. Miss you. see you in heaven!!

[rachy2992]

i agree, steve is a veryy underrated guitarist. he was brilliant and always was for the fans. i miss him so much. Tesla rocks hard and are even more amazing because they made this song.

[mizzou1307]

I'm a HUGE Def Leppard fan and I wish Steve hadn't succumbed to his demons. However, he wasn't the "best guitar player to walk the face..." That's just getting carried away.

[SZTaft]

That's your opinion Steve wasn't the best.  He did things with that guitar most people can only dream about

[ilovericksavage]

i know me too.....i really wish he hadnt died. but he will always be missed.

[starryi73]

Great live tribute to Steve Clark! Thanks!

[slikkar]

i've always loved and still do the guitars of frank hannon...and tommy skeoch...so cool...

[MMMCORNNUTS]

you realize thats not tommy right??

[slikkar]

yes i did.....but Tommy is the only Tesla guitarist for me....

[MMMCORNNUTS]

aw thats sad.

have you ever seen dave live?

or met him

trust me you'll change your mind.

[Djammer45]

that's frank hannon. the pants are red white and blue. he used to wear the funny hat too...but sold it on ebay...hat and les paul to benefit the families of the rhode island fire.

[ragepoppa]

why does the guitar player have to wear those gay pants? What a great band but the pants have to go...lol.. He's lookin a little fat for those pants as well...I'm still laughing...He's ruining it for me with the pants...I just scroll down so I dont have to see the vid and just listen.

[tugurbio]

Incredible song...such a sad story...Fortunately i saw him with the Leppards in madrid when he was still alive.

[slikkar]

my friend used to have that vinil(p.supper)...and i haven't heard this song..since 1991-92....great song..

[Nytephantom]

One of the best songs written during the 80's....

[BadBoyofRock]

Does anyone know why they wrote this song? A little music trivia for y'all :P

[MilleniumAi]

It's for the late Steve Clark! The GOD OF GUITAR!!! They wrote this about him, his is one of the most fascinating and tragic stories in rock history.

[rockilation2112]

for Steve "Steamin" Clar R.I.P, my fav. guitar god

[Maxharddrive64]

Clark was the original guitarist of DefLeppard.

[RockBottomUFO]

Actually, Pete Willis was the first guitarist in Def Leppard. Steve Clark was the second guitarist for the band after it was decided that Joe Elliott would sing instead of playing guitar.

I love Frank Hannon's pants in the video. Where do you find stuff like that?
