Everytime I hear this song I think of Steve Clark and the issues he fought in his last days. I also remember watching MTV and remembering the news break when they announced that Steve died. That really tore at me, because ever since I was 5 years old (1983) I have loved Def Leppard. Tesla really wrote one hell of a tribute to Steve and the lyrics tell how much they admired him.
I feel the same every time I hear this song, when he died I was 14 years old and I was deeply sad for about two weeks and I couln't believe that something like that could happen to someon like him, he had a great talent and magic to play guitar and make music.
Such an underrated band one of the best vocals of this era you could see when they would play Live he put his soul every ounce of energy into his performance today's music fucking sucks it's depressing that will never have music like this again
just saw them for the fourth time last summer. Jeff's vocals were still amazing. The rest of the band a little older and fatter but still rocking it for the fans!
Saw them three days ago and was impressed. Yes his voice has aged some but the music was played exceptionally. Standing room only and the band really genuinely loved the crowd.
It sucks takes 4:43 the loss of such a kind soul like Steve and to write and perform a songs like this must have had some really tough moments for tesla my love for this band that is willing to take the time to pay tribute to their friend and compose it in such a way that the vocals and the music compliment each other so well that it almost makes you feel as if you can feel Steve's pain and suffering and also feel the bands need to tell their side of the story im no one to the world but im someone to music and mark my words if music doesn't come back to this kind of respect and musicianship all is lost this is how your soul should feel every time you listen to a song i just know in my heart it is thank you tesla for being that band. Life at the top aint always what it seem
What a great song. Started watching old clips and music when he was here and it feels like I'm heartbroken all over again. He was an absolute angel. Quiet fragility, but he played as a beast. This song captures him. He still lives on in all of us who love, admire and cherish his life. RIP Angel Steve ❤
Me too brother. My first guitar was a black and bone (off white) Les Paul copy. So Def Leppard on the Pyromania tour 1983. I was 15. My first all nighter, (car broke down), first time getting drunk and sick. Best of times!! 🤟🤟
I sense sadness and loneliness because the 1980'ss just isn't here anymore. I was so young and innocent 😇. I was so determined to get my act together. Now I'm 53 years of age and I'm trying not to develop a cynical attitude
+ Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. Thank you. I never knew that. I mean I knew about Steve Clark's death but I didn't know the song was about that. Thanks again for enlightening me. :)
Es una canción que me encanta por su cadencia, el riff principal y la fuerza, además del tributo que le hacen a Steve Clark, la letra me ha gustado siempre, gracias por tu comentario.

[short story] During those times I slept where I could . I carried my acoustic with me everywhere . To the soup kitchen , the steps of the library , to the park bench and at night to whatever apartment complex laundry room that wasn't being used or locked up . Didn't have a guitar case , didn't have a strap , didn't care it was coming with me , and I hammered out the details to this song and many more Tesla songs . This song and that guitar saw me through hell and back (with my sanity intact) . Song and Emotion . Beautiful , Peace
I found my significant other 'Ria' and life turned around . Still check back with what helped me which was playing this song . You did it justice . Take care and keep it up . Gary

In the 80’s and 90’s I didn’t like them now they’re one of my favorites
just saw them for the fourth time last summer. Jeff's vocals were still amazing. The rest of the band a little older and fatter but still rocking it for the fans!
Truth
@@jodybarrilleaux8906 The MTV Unplugged performance killed them dead, then-but gems like this song are timeless.

absolutely right ❤
To Our Friend, Steve 'Steamin' Clark
What a great song. Started watching old clips and music when he was here and it feels like I'm heartbroken all over again. He was an absolute angel. Quiet fragility, but he played as a beast. This song captures him. He still lives on in all of us who love, admire and cherish his life. RIP Angel Steve ❤
RIP STEVE CLARK...damn sure miss that guitar.🥂💪✌
Tesla - I come for the rock and stay for the guitar mastery
One of the best songs of all time, you Tesla, fucking nailed it, wow better than any power ballad ever put out, be proud!
Never reached the level of popularity of bands like Metallica, but I still consider them one of the best metal bands out of that time.
...played my cheap Les Paul copy along with this one...Here's to you, Steamin' Steve Clark!
Nice

Amazingly done, this song gives me chills- ♥
It's the music that makes this song so damn good....However, the story is sad. That's Rock-N-Roll though. One of my favorite Tesla songs ever!!!!!!
This song is unbelievably good, honestly one of the best.
YES I CAN RELATE TO SONG AND EMOTION - MUSIC MOVES MY EMOTIONS IN A MOST POWERFUL WAY . ESPECIALLY THE SONGS I CAN RELATE TO .
This brings me back to the Ortega hwy.

Rest in peace Steve Clark 🥂💎
Beautiful music 🎶 🎵
Kind of a sad depressing song. Makes me get teary eyed.
Yes, it's a sad song about Steve Clark (Def Leppard) who died in 1991
+ Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. Thank you. I never knew that. I mean I knew about Steve Clark's death but I didn't know the song was about that. Thanks again for enlightening me. :)

Yes because you're seeing it from the world of Steve Clark.
Such a great tune
Tesla is fucking amazing.

Buena rola! Gran tributo a Steve!
I love that the vocalist has a shit happens t-shirt on, I had that as a bumper sticker on my car around the same time.
I just discovered your awesome channel and subscribed right away. Thank you so much!
Thank you! Enjoy!
2020 anyone?!!🤟🏻
Killer tune
Madonna said it once, the eyes are the window to the soul ??? 🤔
I didn't know that they wrote this about Steven Clark ? Wow
Yes, it's a great song about him
Def Leppard is my favorite band of all time. They're the reason I picked up the guitar and now I'm learning this song in honor of Steve
@@fernando_713 wow Nice!
Sad day when Steve Clark died. He was the first “rock star” of my generation to pass. I was shocked.
In memory of Scott Rust... Sing on my friend
a lonely man and his guitar.
LONELY - YEAH RIGHT ! ? THOSE ROCK STARS ARE CONSTANTLY SURROUNDED BY ALL KINDS OF WOMEN !
just because you have a lot of friends and women doesn’t mean you can’t be lonely there’s different meaning of it
You clearly don't understand the lyrics
@@lucymassari4231 yeah i guess you are right - we all need JESUS most of all .
@@garyklafta3411
That's wisdom right there...
for a Christian you seem like you're a judgmental person, making the assumption that he was "surrounded by all kinds of women". Not cool, Bro.
