Tesla Bassist Critiques Rock Hall of Fame
Tesla bassist Brian Wheat recently shared his views on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during an appearance on The Seth Williams Show. Wheat expressed his belief that the Hall of Fame is essentially a “popularity contest,” noting that if the Black Crowes are Hall-worthy, then Tesla should also be considered based on their 1990 live album “Five Man Acoustical Jam.” He highlighted Tesla’s unique contribution to music with their successful live album, comparing it to the achievements of other notable artists.
