I remember buying The Great Radio Controversy on cassette when it was released. I pulled out and unfolded the sleeve and noticed it had a lot of wording on it for a rock LP. I proceeded to read about a Nikola Tesla and what he had done. I was fascinated. I was in 6th grade and had never heard of that guy, not in school or tv or anywhere. Funny how an underrated rock band taught me a great deal of forgotten (...or erased) history.

I've honestly thought this has been way underrated rock song for a long time myself

When I was in high school, we had a career center for 11th and 12th graders. I followed in my big brother's shoes (as always) and spent my junior year in the electronics course. It was because of this band that I did my final essay on Nikola Tesla and the work he did at Niagara Falls.

Who doesn't love the ass kicking guitar solo opening? Outstanding! ❤

If I had a time machine, I'd download this song to it, go back to the day before Tesla died and play it for him. Tell him everything about the future, his legacy today. It so pains me to think he died peniless, probably thinking that Edison and Marconi had won, he would be forgotten. He almost was, but thanks to the band Tesla and others like them, he wasn't. For those that don't know, he unerringly predicted modern smartphones, even the internet in 1926. From Collider Magazine: "When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do this will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket" Nikola Tesla January 30th, 1926

Simple, as the song says, he was never out to sell. So that's how Thomas Edison and Marconi (don't even know or care what his first name was) destroyed him as they did. They stole his inventions, discredited him. The only thing Edison actually invented was the electric chair, and he did so by hooking up cats and dogs to an electrical grid to try to "prove" why Tesla's AC current invention was too dangerous and we should use his DC current invention instead. Thing is, AC will throw you and you are much more likely to survive touching it (depending on the amperage. I have a friend that stuck a paperclip in an wall socket and it literally flung him across the entire room. He was fine, as the amperage wasn't too high) hence why he had to strap the cats and dogs down (and why someone in a electric chair jerks so much.) DC you don't need to do that as it does the opposite. You can't let go, and you fry. So many don't realize it because of how he 'erased' Tesla, but he failed to convince anyone to use DC instead of AC. What's powering your home right now? Tesla's AC not Edison's DC.

I remember this one my first year of college...still a kick ass song!!!

I know Led Zep used odd times, but Tesla was the only 80's rock band I know to use odd meters (other than 3's) with such confidence and groove. Later, Soundgarden (my favorite band) really played with odd times to great effect, but I will always love how Tesla seamlessly throws in odd measures, and Jeff Keith keeps the melody in tact over them. Good stuff! Shows their intelligence.

They omit (or "skip") the last beat of that measure, effectively changing the time signature from 4/4 (four beats per measure) to 3/4 (three beats per measure) for a brief moment.

That thing with an antena Frank Hanon is waving at before the guitar solo is a theremim. Really bad ass instrument.

These guys are my favorite band ever. Nobody can do acoustic better. Tommy Skeoch era was the best hands down!

Love this song. ..and what it tells about the powers that sway public opinion. .. sad, ,truth? ,,what truth, ,whose truth? ,,

I can't wait to show my kid this video when his homework is about this subject, it will be the only time when homework is THAT fun!

Yeah we knew what we was listening to. Tremendous rock band. A fav of mine. Frank is highly underrated guitar player

This song is amazing - such an amazing band

saw then backing up def leppard back in 80 something in southampton, blew them off the stage, awesome band live

Heard this on the radio today, what a banger🔥

What I like about this video? It is not only a rocking song, very rocking, but it actually has a very good meaning behind it. It is not the classic 80s metal "getting with chicks" song. Very intelligent song

This song inspired me to get into an argument with my American History teacher in high school about Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. The teacher was a fan of Thomas Edison. I was more in favor of Nikola Tesla.

Fuck yeah! I hope you dropped a history book on his fuckin head. It doesn't take a genius to realize Edison was trash. Tesla was a legendary American. He truly wanted what was best for us.. 💔

Such a great song, even after all these years!

Nikola and these dudes both kinda flew under the radar. Both have creations that ROCK!!
