Tesla Week: Bad Reputation

(Day in Rock) We're celebrating the recent release of Tesla's 'Reel to Reel' this week. Frank Hannon will be giving us some insight into the making of several songs from the new CD with his studio diary. We continue today with the Tesla version of the Thin Lizzy classic "Bad Reputation". Here is Frank:

Thursday, November, 16, 2006 at 4:38:47 PM - This song ROCKS! We learned this song in the studio and recorded it live after an hour of practice. We decided to tune back up to standard E tuning because it felt better for JF's voice and when we played the recording back it sounded killer. Dave Rude blazes a solo at the end before I take over the guitar lead with the phase and wah wah. Troy wanted to re-do his drum solo but after listening back he decided to keep the original. I'm glad because it was smooth yet aggressive. Troy is a very dynamic drummer and can play many styles. After over 20 years of rocking together, it still amazes me how this band can play live and capture magic on tape.
