Frank Hannon Releases Solo Track, Video
Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 12:01AM
Frank Hannon of Tesla is out with a solo track. The song is called "Never Slowin' Down" and he's got a video to support the track, too. Frank is a great guitarist and this song does his skills justice! I'm glad to see him being creative outside of Tesla.

But yes, this is "creative". Doing something solo outside of your norm is creative. Groundbreaking ? No. Tesla... still kickin' ass all these years later. Where did all those other "bands" go ?
Now for your listening pleasure of this chaos of an election:

How many times do I have to say it, Jacka*s? Besides, the total mediocrity that is Teslug, you Hannon fanboys aren't listening as to why I think Hannon is an as*clown.
I could care less what anyone does to or says about me. It's his ridiculous air of self-entitlement and arrogance he displayed in the Sushi restaurant on the first Shipwrecked!, when he rudely told the maitre d that he was a "Rockstar" so he would need to be reseated away from the window so as not to be noticed by people who probably would have yawned if they saw him as they passed by anyway.
To quote Gn'R, regarding the music of Teslugh, "Groundbreaking? No.".
And despite Jeff Keith being a jerk in his own right for having Security remove two members of the audience so he could get a better view of Faster Pussycat, there's no question he can sing his a*s off. He should quit Teslug and kicks*s in a REAL Rock & Roll band.
And Ripper, I appreciate your civil tone in your last comments above.
Just so you know, I've had drinks with many a "Rockstar"... Jerry Garcia (though that was coffee), Debbie Harry, Johnny Ramone, Robin Zander, Tommy Lee, Steve Stevens, Faster Pussycat, Junkyard, Eric Brittingham, John Corabi, Jorma, Jack Cassady, Marty Balin, Joe Leste, Black n' Blue, Courtney Cox, Chip Z' Nuff, Nuño Bettencourt and Jeff LeBar, as well as hobnobbed with Brian Johnson, Iggy Pop, Leslie West, Vince Neil, Bif Byford, John Quinn, Dana Strum, Tom Kiefer and others plus dined with Movie Stars and Television Personalities, some who's work I don't even particularly care for.
All of them were kind, funny and gracious conversationalists with me.
Yet, we know some on that list are serial jacka*ses to fans and have overinflated opinions of themselves and it is that club to which Hannon belongs, though not as notable or famous as most of them, IMHO.
I even had the opportunity to have drinks with Hannon as I was doing so with a couple of the promoters on the first Monsters of Rock Cruise when Hannon came over to us. I simply walked away as I didn't want to listen to anything he had to say after I witnessed his performance in the Sushi Restaurant on board the first Shiprocked! the year previous.
As I've said before, people can act however they want toward me, but when I see them mistreat others, that's what earns them a place on my sh*t list.
In hindsight, I shouldn't have socialized with Vince Neil, as he's such a pr*ck to people. I gave Tommy Lee a break because he seemed to have become a better person at that stage (2007) when I met him.
Had I not seen Hannon act like such a self entitled jack a*s toward the maître d and simply politely asked to be moved without the arrogant explanation, I would probably think differently about him, whatever my opinion is of his music.
