Tesla's new album

Tesla's new album
« on: October 08, 2008, 02:59:18 PM »
It dropped yesterday and I have already heard most of it. It has a real good song about a fallen soldier called "Pvt. Ledbetter".

The album did not disappoint me. Tesla did not change their sound and this album rocks as hard as their older albums.

I felt the same way about Candlebox's new album.

Tesla was unfairly lumped in with the hair bands.  They wrote some great rock songs and never seemed to pander to the hairspray/eyeshadow crowd.

Bonus question:  What was the inspiration for the song "What You Give"?

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Yeah, I have never considered Tesla a hair band in the type as the Motley Crue and Poisons. Tesla can unplug and still rock just as hard as they can with amps, which is something a lot of the "Glam Rock" bands can't pull of.

I give up Wes, what was the inspiration for the song? It seems like I remember hearing something about it several years ago, but my memory is not that good.

He wrote that song about his dog.

He and Steve are probably pen pals. Wouldn't doubt if Steve get's royalties from the song.

What's with 80's metal bands coming out of the woodwork and rocking our faces off in this one month span?

I listened to "I Wanna Live" and "So What!". Not bad. Not as awesome as Metallica's, or what I'm hoping AC/DC's will be.

Yeah, I had also caught the timing of all the "classic" rockers releasing new studio albums and wondered what the deal was. My 16 year old daughter told me that the "in" music with many teenage boys has been classic rock, so that may have something to do with it.

I heard a preview of one of the new AC/DC songs a couple of weeks ago and it sounded pretty good.
