RadioBypass Interview: Dave Rude (Tesla) | Homage and the Carnival of Sins Tour

Tesla guitarist Dave Rude joins RadioBypass to discuss the band’s new album, Homage, and the Return of the Carnival of Sins Tour with Mötley Crüe and Extreme. Dave talks about how Tesla selected the wide-ranging collection of songs featured on Homage, the challenge of honoring the original recordings while still making them sound like Tesla, and how this project compares with the band’s 2007 covers collection, Real to Reel—Dave’s first recording project after joining Tesla. We also discuss the album’s new original song, “Never Alone,” Dave’s experience recording songs made famous by artists including Queen, Sam Cooke, Bob Seger, Etta James, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many more, plus what fans can expect when Tesla hits the road with Mötley Crüe and Extreme. At the end of our conversation, Dave personally selects a track from Homage for us to play.
