tesla special
===============

yo to the rockers up there!here
we're again;here in our very own
corner.the corner of concious mi-
nds that go for the real music...
fuck all those lame syth shit and
be proud of the music you are lis
tening to...i salute you!
i know,i know..that was a lame
start but who cares?(or?)

firstly i wanna excuse for one th-
ing: if you have read the "ac/dc
special" chapter in issue 11, you
will remember that i promised to
make a report about >metallica< in
the 12th issue(this one!).but...
yes,but since i'm not a metallica
maniac,my knowledge about the kick
ass in trash is not enough to give
a full report including everthing
about them.and i couldn't reach my
friends that are sick with the lo-
ve of metallica.but don't worey!!!
the awful,mega metallica maniac

wollo/acy(who else???)will soon be
touring my place and i'll get from
him!(by the way,the other>metalli-
ca fans:where are you men??? send
me everything you know about your
idol group! come on!!!)
so for this month i decided to
write about a group that is not
very well known by most of the du-
des,especially by europeans;a gre-
at and outstanding hard rock-heavy
metal group;the group that's been
blowing my mind for about six mon-
ths:> > > t e s l a < < <

>name:t e s l a
>birth date:mid 80's
>style:hard rockish metal(whaat?)
>albumes:*mechanical resonence-88?
*the great radio contraversy-1989
*five man acoustical jam-1990
*physcotic supper-1992
>homeland:sacramento/usa
>crew:
*jeff keith:lead vocals
*frank hannon:lead guitars
*tommy skeoch:rythm guitars
*brian wheat:bass,piano
*troy luccetta:drums,percussion

yep,as you can see,tesla is quite
a young group.they were borned in
the same years such as guns n' ro-
ses and they also released their
first albume nearly around the sa-
me years.but they never got so mu-
ch fame.
they made a very good come with
their "mechanical resonance" albu-
me and matured with their second
albume which was superb! later th-
ey released an unofficial concert
albume, that was fully performed
with acoustic instruments...

i've got their last three albumes;
i must express that the songs are
totally impressive!the thing that
i like most with their songs is
the sweet melodies, and blueslike
lyrics.
no,no.when i say "sweet"i don't
mean that they sound just like pop
as bon jovi does(bah,lame...) th-
eir first three albumes mostly in-
clude songs that fill one with gr-
eat joy of living...yes,that's the
right word:joy of life!!the lyrics
play a great role in this...check:

"i'll miss your smile,
that leave sparkings in your eyes.
you are so beatiful,
never change..." (the way it is)

and,many like this.but take care!
those songs are so emotional that
you also can cry remembering your
lover,sweetheart(the way it is,pa-
radise,what you give,love sonh,be-
fore my eyes,etc...)

of course they have head crushing
songs that are too philoshophic(fl

ight to nowhere,makin' magic..)but
i'll mention about the songs later
again.
now let's check the crew:
the vocalist:great!! he really has
a very different and terribly cool
voice that exactly suits even to
the slowest and fastest songs.he
can easily give the thinnest and
thickest tunes... also,his singing
style is surely one of my favouri-
tes.
lead guitarist:frank hannon!! yes
dudes,record this name somewhere

in your mind,because he's one of
the best at the moment.he can make
out really great melodies out of
his guitar. he's very capable on
this instrument.let me say that s-
lash is not better than him!
rythm guitarist:also an marvellous
talent!tesla's music doesnt depend
on rhthm like megadeth or metal-
lica,but in their trashlike songs
he flies!(yesterdaze,flight to no-
where,don't derock me...)
i think there's no need to men-
tion about the bassist as this is

not something i can talk about...
let's leave this to the professio-
nals(yo mr.ammo!).also,the drummer
is quite ok ,but nothing so speci-
al.
== albumes --
>mechanical resonance: sorry,i did
not have the chance to listen this
one,but it's impossible to find it
here. if you have it, please don't
hesitate to send! you surely will
get something nice back.
i just listened three of da songs
there, in 5 men acoustical jam.and

they were great! (getting better,
before my eyes,modern day cowbow)

>%??

>the great radio contraversy
ahhh,this is m-e-g-a-c-o-o-l!! all
songs are better than each other.
once you start,you never give up
listening again and again.their mo
st famous hit "love song" is here
too.it's a very good slow with a
muthafuckin' solo by frank!"flight
to nowhere" can be enough for even

the crazy-trashers,what a cool ry-
thm! paradise,makin' magic(!!),ha-
ng tough are also giga songs,but
all 13 songs are superb!!! you'll
miss a lot if you don't listen to
this albume.but,never give any com
ments in the first go! listen it
over and over, you'll see that i'm
right!
> %98

> five men acoustical jam
"a sell-out.rightfully so,this sh-
ow was one of five to be done al-

most acoustically.not too many ha-
rd rock groups would dare attempt
such a feat,let alone be able to
pull it off,but tesla managed with
ease.i just hope that somebody was
wise enough to capture at least
one of these shows on tape"
this was written for a tesla con-
cert.the story is long:one day,tes
la performed some songs with acous
tic guitars.this was so much liked
that they gave five concerts with
only acoustic(wood;classic) instu-
rements. later,the recordings from

one of those concerts was broadcas
ted on the radio.the reactions for
it were so good that tesla decided
to release it as an albume...thank
you guys! because this concert is
really great,the taste of wood is
so differept that,you never get
bored of listening to this superb
albume. the songs are from their
first and second albumes,but there
are songs from different people,e-
ven from beatles and rollin'stones
go for this!>everyone< can like!!
> %97

>physcotic supper
yes,this is their hottest albume.
according to me this is not as su-
perb as the second one. but still
it really kicks!
you know,in tgrc,the melodies were
extraordinary,and i can say the sa
me thing for the "playing"this ti-
me. both guitarists improved like
hell.solos and rythms are much bet
ter and h a r d e r! yes,this albu
me is not that "sweet"... tesla's
sound is settling to its place and
the lyrics are getting much more

philosophic!! and this makes tesla
outstanding...
"no sign of justice;no liberty.
can't you see that we are
all freedom slaves?"
(freedom slaves)

well,the best song is song&emotion
i think. this was dedicated to def
leppard's lead guitarist who died
sometime ago(r.i.p).this is really
a great slow in"don't cry"'s style
and i think it deserves to be no 1
in the charts!yes,it really is soo

cool! don't derock me is worth for
it's great 90 sec solo(this is tr-
ash man!). "what you give" is just
like those sweet songs of tesla.
it's mega! oh,god.also freedom sl-
aves(mega),had enough(cool),change
in the weather (great),man out of
time(superb),call it what you want
(yeah!) are the best songs.but you
need a 4-6 times o'warming listen-
ings.otherwise,you might not like
it.but this's the same for all al-
bumes.even for ac/dc(hehe!) anyway
this is a reality for even da best

albumes.believe it or not, but i
didn't like "use your illusion"'s
until three listenings...
> % 95

tesla is also famous with their
shows on stage. you know,just like
alice cooper does...
according to me,tesla has much
quality in their music when compa-
red with guns n' roses.i can hear
you scream"hey,you've gone too far
man!" but this is the truth. tesla

has not achived such superb songs
like "you could be mine" and"don't
cry",but also has not puked songs
like breakdown, locomotive,shotgun
blues,etc...quality means continu-
ity in doing something good...
tesla has this...i think their mu-
sical and cultural knowledge is
what ables them to achieve this...
how many bands can dare a live ac-
oustic show? this needs ass!
anyway,i hope that i gave enough
information about this band which
is not known at all in europe. i

will be totally happy if even one
single person will get the oppurtu
nity to like this great band.i sh-
ared my tapes with a lot of pals
of me,i haven't met anyone who tri
ed tesla and didn't like them...
so fuck off reading now,get out
to the closest music shop,buy "the
great radio contraversy" firstly,
listen it 5-8 times and write to
me,tell what you think!

the addy follows...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

don't forget the metallica stuff
for the next issue! come on!! move
your asses dudes...
this corner's gonna be better as
long as you support it!
the addy above stands for every
kind o'rock&metal stuff for splash
so;seeeeend!

who's the one that
makes you have it?
or maybe who's the one
always on your mind?
and who's the reason your living?
who's the reason for your smile?
i feel so lonely,and i know i'm
not the only one to ever feel this
way...
i love you so much muge,
that i think
i'm going insane
i'm going crazy

i don't mind hell,going crazy
i don't mind hell,
can think about nothing
but the good,good love
what you give...

from:what you give/tesla(p.supper)

that's all,see you.
