As part of the 2019 NAMM Show, which happened last week in Anaheim, California, Gibson Guitar CMO, Cesar Gueikian, spoke with Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon about his musical influences, favorite Gibson guitars and celebrating the 30th anniversary of "Love Song"; an excerpt has been transcribed as follows:

Frank: "That album came out 30 years ago. On February 1st, we're going to be celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Great Radio Controversy. As well as releasing a new album called Shock, that was produced by Phil Collen of Def Leppard... it's really been a great  era for us."
