Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Tesla has a new album out in may.  They said they have a giant tour planned for this summer.  somehow i can see guns and Tesla touring together as co-headliners. what do you think?? :peace: : ok: :beer: :smoking:

No. Won't happen. They might be good 'nuff to open for 'em.

Tesla co-headlining with GN'R? Yeah right.

not even

no that won't happen they would be openers at best if it would happen but i highly doubt it will and if tesla is touring this spring and summer they'd be in the U.S. right while G'n'R are clear across the fucking globe maybe theres a 25% chance it'll happen in the fall or next winter but not this spring or summer.

Yeah co heads no way... nobody gives a crap about tesla.

That would totally put a has-been, Vh1 Classic-relegated stamp on everything GNR does

Tesla rocks, I go see them everytime they come to town, I'd love for them to open

Tesla is a very good band infact they started mtv unplugged when they fought record company to release 5 man acoustical jam album. They also are one of a few bands that record souly on 2 inch tape claiming no Machines. There last album into the now was rated top metal albunms in hit parader.  Axl is so pro tooled out. He may not even reconize his own voice at times...lol 

I still say Tesla would be a perfect match.

To be honest, I do not know what/who the hell is Tesla.  ???

I think they should get someone new or somewhat relevant to whats happening today. GNR and Telsa might seem a bit too nostalgic.

An 80's metal band

Agreed. What sets GNR apart from their contemporaries is that they were not just another band.

Signs Signs Everywhere are Signs!!!

I would like to see Tesla, as an opener. Some people say it would be a bit nostalgic but what was Baz?

corection

an acoustic 80s (kinda) hair Metal band......they're alright i guess just it was way different to have a Hair Metal band back then that didn't whare make-up or play electric guitars, they did, how ever, did play both styles of guitars. i find them to be an ok band to listen to when nothing else is good on the radio. I put them in the same category as RATT and cinderella if you listen to them to much you either start to get pissed off or turn into a pussy :P

hell it was all good back then imo :headbanger:

:peace:

Tesla's last album was awesome, and they put on a great live show.

C'mon guys! ?First of all, it won't happen, but if it did, that wouldn't be a bad show to go to. It would actually be a kick ass rock concert. ? Contrary to what most of think, Tesla has a big enough name to carry themselves for a small headline tour. ?

To play devils advocate here though............ ?So what some of you are basically saying is Tesla wouldn't be a good fit to open for GNR but bands like "living things, Xutos, Sex action, funeral for a friend, bullet for my valentine, and Shakra are good enough? ?Makes sense to me!!!!! ?How many "Shakra" cd's are in your collections? ?LOL.

all of them ::)



just kidding dude but i'm not saying Testla wouldn't be a good opener its just that Axl and G'n'R already have that covered and they only have shitty bands like that open because they're cheep Testla i dont know about but if they opened for G'n'R and if they came any where close to Omaha, NE i'd go for sure :yes:
:beer:

I think tesla would be a great opener for gn'r, just imagine if they opened and did a slow, maybe even a slow acoustic version of love song to close thier set......and 45 minutes later the opening riff of wttj...the crowd would go wild. what I'm trying to say is I think they would get the crowd ready for gn'r, without getting booed off the stage (11/24/06 fucking bird shit).....that's all. :)

I ll share some with you. Tesla are a great rock band, nitty gritty american, rock, would love to see both bands on a bill, will it happen I doubt it, but would be cool

Don't know them.. but the songs on www.myspace.com/teslatheband sound ok.

Already like them more than some of the previous openers for GnR..

According to my brother....Tesla was the shit in 1988.  My old man brother (nine years older than me) saw them in a high school gym at the time and still says it was the best concert he's ever been to.  It might have something to do with the fact that he got laid by a groupie, but then again this is Tesla we're talking about.

I'd love to see Tesla open for Guns.  I've always wanted to see them live but have never gotten around to it.  That'd be as good a reason as any.  However, I highly doubt it would happen.  Guns seems intent on taking up and coming bands and Baz, cuz he's an old friend.  I don't think Axl has any history with the guys in Tesla.

Damn... and here I was hoping someone finally made a conspiracy theory involving GnR.  Ya know the free electricity/energy conspiracy with Nikola Tesla. ;D

i think tesla is touring bars these days....i dont think GnR will tour bars :-\

however Tesla does rock! :smoking:

which name used band tesla?

I saw Tesla and Cinderella in a bar long ago (probably around when LCS's old man brother saw them) and they were great.  They would kick the shit out of Mix Master Mike.  : ok:

Tesla played in Thunder Bay, Canada, my home town, a year and a half ago in a small bar.  It was by far the best concert I have ever seen in my life.  In the early 90's I had a 5 disc CD player.  4 of those slots were for AFD, Lies, UYI 1&2...the other for Tesla-Five Man Acoustical Jam.
The show they put on was amazing.  They were tight and really into it. (if you could look past Jeff Keith's continuous bleeding nose...)  I would love to see them again.  And tickets were only $15.  hope they stop over in my neck of the woods again.

I actually suggested Tesla as an opening band for GNR. You need to listen to "Five Man Acoustic Jam" cd. Is is all acoustic, sounds great, and the songs rock! Yeah. They are old school but they are putting out a new CD and I don't see Ratt, Cinderella, etc... doing anything these days. It would be a kick ass show! I will probably go to see Tesla this summer if they tour.

cinderella did a co headline tour with poison last year, until there bassist got throat cancer.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!

















Me neither  ???

I maybe see them as an opener but not a co-headliner

they are talented enough to be co-headline, but no where near big enough to be co-headline with guns.

you poor poor souls...around the same time as guns hit it big, they are from detroit i think

anyway they are amazing..this is one of the best acoustic tunes ever
