This song itself is serious. It was protest song from the 60's.
It's from the 70's
@@dcummings4834 If I wanted to be petty, I could point out that decades run from 1 to 10 (1961 - 1970). So, technically...But, yeah, I missed it by a year. Still, very much a 60's vibe
@@jefferyparker4277
Still mostly sh:tty music from that time plus all the useless hippies.
He wrote it on a road trip to CA and the scenery was obscured by so many billboards
Yes, original done by Five Man Electrical Band and released in 1971, but Pushed HARD by the GenX'rs when released by Tesla in 1990. 80s teens were BIG On Acceptance of ALL Good people No matter how they Looked on the Outside.
This has all gone way too far NOW. WE FOUGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR LONG HAIRED HIPPIES AND ALL SORTS.. But we NEVER imagined the mentally ill would be released from the INSANE ASYLUMS and begin Running this Free Country. ... ... ...
Since the late 90s Being PRESENTABLE has gone out the window With SANITY.
This is NOT a silly song, it's a serious song that they covered for a Live recording. Great message!
Great message of you don’t want to put out effort in life. Go to work. I owe you nothing.
@@Qpoueoor Pulling your own weight has nothing to do with the message.
@@Qpoueoor lololol that's Not the Message though 😁 DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE ON LOOKS ALONE! ❤️😁🔥💯
@@da_blade5040 i love when foolish people try to tell other foolish people what a song is about, and i love it even more when the foolish people argue over who is right and try to prove each other wrong. How is it possible in 2022 that not every single human who has half a functioning brain doesn´t realize every song has 75 different meanings to about100 different people.? People, I hate to break it to you, you´re not smarter than the guy who thinks this song has a different meaning than you think it does, you didn´t solve any riddle and you don´t understand songs better than everyone else. Art is here for interpretation, how one interprets it typically has to do with ones past experiences and sometimes just a situation one went through while hearing this song when he was younger. There is some schmuck out there who believes this song has to do with signs on a beach and he will argue that point until the day he dies because when he was 15 years old with his buddies the beach patrol chased them off the beach at 11 pm pointing at the signs that said no beach access after 5 pm....btw they were preppies, short hair and dressed well. In short, every song mean something different to everyone else.
Seems like a great message until you get some property and don’t want people trespassing on it…
The Most Underrated Band of the 80s and still going strong. Amazing songs. Thank you for listening to this one.
yessir, i seen them live recently and it was awesome
Think it literally means he's tired of signs everywhere, telling him what to do, how to to it, and when to do it. Your right, should be paying attention while driving but there are freakin signs everywhere!!! Lol. So damn true! This song was so right after all!!!
Lex, I complemented you the other day for absolutely nailing the lyrical content of one song.
Today, good Lord, you couldn’t have been more off base.
This song was originally done by a band called Five Man Electric Band, in the late ‘60’s. It was a monster counter culture/ protest song.
Tesla covered it in 1990, on an album called Five Man Acoustic Jam. And the point was basically that over 20 years later, nothing really had changed. But the song was NO JOKE. This was a serious protest anthem. Tesla spiced it up a bit with a little aggressive language, but it is probably what the original guys wanted to say anyhow, but ‘signs’ would’ve prohibited that.
Les driving on the historical Route 66 in California was horrified by the sad amount of Billboard Signs blocking out the scenery. Also on the trip, he, who had late 60's hair, was told he could not enter a couple of places, due to his "looks". When he returned home to Canada, he wrote down his adventures.
She kind of got it at the end of her response. Telling us what we can/can't do. What we HAVE to do if we want to do something.
How or where did people protest with this song? I don't remember any of that.
@@garrett6064 The concept of the song is, in & of itself ‘protest’. Not that the song inspired throngs of people to protest.
The existence of signs everywhere telling people where to go, how to live, etc…
@@Willie_McBride yeah, without those throngs of people it's really just him complaining about too many signs. Everything out of the 60's and early 70's doesn't have to be labeled a 'protest' song.
Actually this is an anti-establishment Anthem released in 1970, by Canadian Band, The Five Man Electrical Band, and became an anthem for a generation.
I Remember them!! ❤️
@@da_blade5040 The writer and lead guitarist just passed away, RIP Les.
@@toddstevens13 That's Sad 😢😢😢
@@da_blade5040 It is, so many great players and singers have gone lately.
@@toddstevens13 I know...right Suxx! Now we lost Meatloaf 😢 It's so Sad
This was recorded at a bar in Philadelphia while they were on tour in the early 90's (with Motley Crue I think). They took a couple of their free days on the tour and booked gigs at some local bars to do a full acoustic set. Of the 5 shows they did like this, this is the only one that got recorded and then released as a live album called "Five Man Acoustical Jam" in a tribute to the original writers of this song the Five Man Electrical Band. This is by far my favorite live album ever with all the covers and even how their own big hits change when they perform the acoustic. The best one from this show for my money is the version of "Love Song" they perform. I know you have already reacted to the music video/studio version of that song, but the acoustic is a lot better in my ever so humble opinion.
It was recorded at the Trocadero a music venue that holds 1200 people . The Tesla album 5 man acoustical jam kicked off the mtv unplugged rage in the early 90's .
The best part of the acoustic version is when they come in with the electric guitar during the main solo, hard to convey that emotion with the acoustic.
@@billwicketvogel1787 Sadly it closed. I frequented the venue as a teen and muh later found out my grandfather used to go there when it was burlesque.
@@hmpz36911 yes I know that is closed a few years ago. Philly has changed so much. That's really interesting about your grandfather! Awesome
@@billwicketvogel1787 Dude I went to South Street a few months ago and barely recognized the place. Then I realized that the last time I was really down there was around 2008 to see G.B.H. and Anvil.
Very Under rated band from the 80's/90's IMO. These guys were very good musicians and song writers. It's a shame that they didn't get the recognition they deserved.
On point. They came along at the tail end of ‘Hair Metal’ (of which I’m also a huge fan) and they got pigeonholed into that genre when they were really so much more than that. I’d say that the band Great White had a similar situation. Arrived on scene around the same time, were lumped in as a wannabe hair band, but were actually an OUTSTANDING Bluesy Rock Band. The unfortunate tragedy in the Rhode Island Nightclub notwithstanding.
@@Willie_McBride absolutely. Both bands never really got a chance once everyone started trashing the Hair Metal scene. Another band was Slaughter but they fit that scene a little better...lol
@@carmelaruck7116 Great White’s House of Broken Love! Is fantastic Jack Russell such a great dirty sleazy bluesy vocalist.
You do know they didn't write this song right?
@@lunax71 Yes I know this was a cover of Five Man Electrical Band.
Tesla started the acoustic concert fad that ran into the 90's. The concert was recorded at a club in Philly (The Trocodero, I think)
This was a cover of a Canadian band - Five Man Electric Band from the 70's (?)
Tesla performed this acoustic set in 1990 at a theater in Philly... it was recorded live and released that yr as the 'Five man acoustical jam' album and 'Signs' actually became a hit single after 'Love song' off their previous album.
60’s…
Not sure how one can think this isnt a serious song. The lyrics are right on screen for you
Lex is not the lyric person. She just rides the music.
All the things in the song are things black folk heard during segreation days.
@@TanisHalf-Elven a lot of people have heard these things from a lot of different people. I think that's the point of the song right?
Ive seen Tesla 5 times through the years…great band…not a hair band not a metal band just a great Rock Band…they are still releasing material…
Tesla is my all time FAVORITE band, 2021 made 13 times I’ve seen them live since their debut year (1st row) in 1986!!!!! They still sound just like that !!! Great reaction…. Now u’ll be noticing all the different Signs Signs everywhere Signs!!
Great band and very underrated. My favorite... Modern Day Cowboy!!!
This song is a comment on society in the early 1970’s by the Five Man Electrical Band.
Tesla! Definitely do more Tesla.
You probably have to live through this period in order to really appreciate it. During this time Tesla stripped down from most of the the electric stuff and pretty much started the Unplugged series that aired on MTV. This was from the 5 Man Acoustical Jam album. Many bands followed doing their songs unplugged.... One of my favs is Caught Up In A Dream, Heaven Nine Eleven, Song & Emotion, and Freedom Slaves..... My favorite band!
One of the best things about you guys , you don't fool around, you jump right into the song. Others have rhymes, dances and overall looking for a little spotlight. Thanks guys !
I totally agree, so (most) other reactors have a way to long intro, I just hit skip ahead to the start of the song, I like how Brad and lex just get right to it....
Thanks guys!
Please, please, PLEASE react to Tesla's tribute to Steve Clarke.
Frank Hannon of Tesla and Steve Clarke of Dep Leppard created a bond while touring together.
When Steve noticed how much Frank loved the sound of the Gibson SG guitar, Steve gave him one.
Frank said no one ever gave him a guitar before.
After Steve died (way too early) Tesla wrote SONG AND EMOTION as a tribute to Steve.
And they composed the guitar style as Steve would have played it.
While out on tour, when they had days off, they would book club gigs under an assumed name. In other words, Tesla was NOT on the marquee. They decided to record one and release it as an album.
I had the privilege to see them in concert some years ago. Love Song is one of my favs but when they did Signs...everyone in the arena was scream singing & we all felt the same thing: fck da man!!! 😂
Five Man Acoustical Jam was a terrific album.
If you really dig this track I'd suggest checking out the entire album sometime. Tesla: Five Man Acustical Jam is great.
The Brad back and forth sway in full effect! Tesla's first album is one of the best debut albums ever.
Honestly don’t think this was a joke, it’s a lighthearted song about shrinking freedoms made to make you think. The 60’s & 70’s started using music to get the masses to question government and societal conventions
and the sign says you got to have a proper mask to get inside. Song still seems relevant today
Tesla covered this so well....... and to this day it still stands true, every word, every sign.
"Signs" is a song by the Canadian rock group "Five Man Electrical Band" 1970. Tesla spin was " 5 Man Acoustical Jam"
Tesla & Firehouse was the first concert i went to without my parents
I'll always have love for this song
Miles Away is a great song, with great lyrics and meaning.
RIP Les Emmerson.....writer of this song and front man of the Five Man Electrical Band.....passed away this last December in the Ottawa Valley
This song is a remake of a major hit by the Canadian band. 5 man electrical band. Released in 1971 and became an anthem of a generation. Canada ❤❤❤❤
This song was recorded during a "unplugged live" performance. Before everyone else started doing unplugged live performances... The original was performed by the "Five man Electrical Band", this unplugged album was titled the "Five man Acoustical Jam". It is not a joke song
so glad you reacted to this version instead of the sanitized radio version where they replaced the word 'fucking' with 'blocking'
A few Tesla songs to check out are; "cummin' atcha live" "modern day cowboy", "hang tough", "makin' magic", and "little Suzi", among other great songs from them
The 5 man electrical band`s original version is awesome as well.
This was a protest song from 1970. I always thought they wanted to protest segregation signs without actually mentioning them.
from the concert that really started the Unplugged trend 🤘 Five Man Acoustical Jam
Great version! Love this song, reminds me of high school lol
Just bought Tesla tickets today for June outside of Sacramento.. pretty excited it's my first time seeing one of my favorite bands from the 80's
When I was 15 back in 1982, I was a long haired freaky type. I got a job, sight unseen over the phone, at Chucky Cheeses, and when i showed up for work They put me in the furry suit where I wouldn't scare the moms. After the first shift I went back to the break room to get my stuff and leave, and there was a big sign on the board that said "Long haired freaky people need not apply!".
That's funny. In the 90s, i was at a job interview. The job was a slamdunk, i kinda knew the boss, knew many of the workers, and had years of experience at literally all areas of the business. Interview went awesome, then, he asked, "how do you feel about cutting your hair?". I answered, "i don't!". And that was that, on to the next one.
Y’all are great! Check out Tesla - Paradise (Lex, you’ll love the guitar duets!!) and Heaven’s Trail as well.
This Song represents what we heard our neighbors and family purring down men with long hair.We as children loved it sang it.We didn't agree with the adults but we couldn't say crap.
Tesla Live are an Amazing band .🎼 Rock N Roll at it's very best. Phenominal Lead 🎸Guitarist🎸.3x Live in Colorado USA🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Clearly from your reaction the song did exactly what it was supposed to do!
lol...this song brings back some memories. this one here is a cover but at the time the original came out, i got my 1st ride on a mini enduro. i was so short then that the seat on a yamamha 90 came up to my eye level! lol verg good stuff!
As has been said. This was a very serious song in its time. If you had long hair and a bell bottom jean you were a target. Signs not allowing you in stores or bars. Even signs not allowing you in parks. I lived in those times and i would always get people driving by throwing eggs at me because of my appearance. So Ya this was a rebellion song for sure.
Another blast from the past. I love it!!! Tesla was amazing and Jeff Keith had the sexiest voice!
I highly recommend Modern Day Cowboy and EZ Come EZ Go. BANGERS!
I love this version!
They did it before MTV started the Unplugged series.
Basically started the Unplugged series.
They covered the Beatles “we can work it out “ live also !! Awesome cover!!
Back when I was 15-21 yrs old and going to a lot of concerts in the Knoxville Tn area in the 80's , Tesla and Cinderella were the opening acts on soooo many shows , and often put the Headliner act to shame .
Little Suzi and Modern Day Cowboy are my favorite Tesla songs .
Great tune! Still rings true!
what you give is my fav from Tesla. Not sure if yall have reacted to it, but it's one of the greatest ballads ever!
Not a silly song in the least. And recorded live at the Trocadero in Philly. I was lucky enough to have been there that night. One of the greatest acoustic sets ever recorded.
Brad I agree with you completely about signs painted on the road " they are backwards " you know what I mean
This is played at the legendary troc in Philadelphia pa, I was there couple hundred people, tesla sold out the spectrum that sat 15000 people they recorded out of the blue full on acoustic awesome
Five Man Acoustical Jam is a great album and yes it was made in a bar.
Yes, the changed up the lyrics a bit from the original by the Five Man Electrical Band ( out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). The original was "BLOCKIN' OUT THE SCENERY" (not F***ing Up" And then when he makes his own "LITTLE sign" (again NOT "f***ing sign") NO way would the radio play it back then with how Tesla did it here! Lol!
Great Song, Original and Cover
Good cover of the Five Man Electrical Band. Always loved how the Tesla album was called the Five Man Acoustical Jam.
Keep going down the Tesla rabbit hole. Absolutely the most underrated and best band from the 80’s
Would NOT consider this song silly.
This was written by Bob Dylan....Awesome song and Tesla is an awesome band!!!
Silly but so true. It makes me think of a nice scenic ride ruined by the damn signs everywhere.
In 1990 Tesla were on tour with Mötley Crüe, for whom they were opening US dates in promotion of the album Dr. Feelgood. On June 2, a day off occurred, during which the band decided to put on an acoustic show in which each member would choose a different cover to perform. Singer Jeff Keith decided on Signs, a song by the Five Man Electrical Band he grew up listening to in Oklahoma. However, his bandmates did not know the piece, so Keith gave a copy to each of them so they could learn it. [6]
The performance was so successful that Tesla decided to repeat it again for a couple of charity dates, including one at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, on July 2, that the band decided to record almost by chance, for personal use and consumption only. A few months later a local radio began to broadcast the recording of Signs performed by the group that evening, which quickly became in demand by listeners, triggering a real word of mouth among fans who pressured the record company to publish the entire concert.
The album was released in November under the title Five Man Acoustical Jam, in homage to the name of the Five Man Electrical Band that had composed that Signs capable of allowing the immediate distribution of the album in stores. [6] The single became Tesla's biggest chart success and pushed the album to #12 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. [7]
Its a cover they play live in a bar, the álbum was 5 men in acoustic guitar. Tesla is infravalorator Band, you should listen the álbum The Great Radio Controversy
Love Song from this same concert is a good listen
Song and Emotion is a great Tesla song
Great band, great song.
It's a cover song. The original song is from 1971 from a band called Five Man Electric Band.
This was from a cover stream they did.
I love this song!!!!! Tesla is a great band!!!!
It came out in the 60's/70's about the clash between the hippies and the establishment
80s hard rock. Best music of all time. Uplifting unlike the shit today
This is one of the lyrically great songs and one I regularly sing to myself when driving
Belive it or not my local radio station used to play the unedited version of this all the time.
Tesla- modern day cowboy and little suzi are good
The First Rock UNPLUGGED ever!!
I love this version. It is a protest song. One of the better ones. This whole album is fantastic.
This is a cover song from a 60's group called The 5 man Electrical Band
This is from a live performance recorded for a live album. It was made in a small Philadelphia venue. If you react to more Tesla the versions from the “live acoustical jam” performance are just incredible.
It was written in response to the massive increase in advertising commercial property. With the highway building explosion of the 1960’s. Which leads into another similar protest song “Superhighways “ by Ballin’Jack.Another great listen .
Frankie Hannon was/is the real deal of guitar playing. If you like Blackberry Smoke check out his version of Sunrise in Texas, very well done.
You should go in front of your management office and BLAST this song LOLOL
(When you're moving out... of course)
Tesla has some great songs, What you Give is great !
Back in the 60s and early 70s, guys with long hair were frowned upon by some. For some reason, they thought it was a big deal. This song was about that and rules in general. It was out in 71, Tesla redid it in 91
YA'LL gotta do SONG AND EMOTION By Tesla... Also Brad we HV2 see Lex's Reactions to STEVE VAI's TENDER SURRENDER!
Next time you do covers or even a regular reaction, whether on your channel or not, try the O'Keefe music foundation. They are a music school for kids. 46 and 2 is the best, but check out You Could Be Mine, Pull me Under, No more Tears, and Crazy Horse as well,
this was originally recorded at the ritz in nyc but when it was released 'recorded live a the ritz's nyc' was crossed out and they used the philly recording instead,,don't know why.
This takes me straight back to high school- riding around with friends in a jeep with doors off just singing along….
Do you want to accept what other people demand you to do ? Or do you want to challenge your freedom? This song is more serious than you think. It’s about being who you are no matter what other people try to make you be. Street signs & road signs have NOTHING to do with this one. ♥️
in the 70's in Maine they outlawed billboards ... no fucking up the scenery !
Dig on the Tesla song "What you give" or for that matter most any of their songs. I know these dudes from when they were called "City Kidd". You won't be disappointed!!? 100%
Great song great singer
Stayed for the song, left because of your comments.
This came off from a live album called 5 man acoustic jam
"Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said, "No L O I T E R I N G allowed"
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd"
A business recently put up a sign out front that said, "Due to staffing shortages, long haired freaky people may now apply".😂😂😂
Love Tesla.This song is great but try the live version of Love Song and What You Give for goosebumps and Cumin Atcha Live for sheer power!Also the whole of Mechanical Resonance us pure fire The production is great on this
Rock me and modern day cowboy are great Tesla songs.
That's an old song. Long time ago, long hair on men was frowned upon. Has a serious message. They aren;t joking.
