Watch: TESLA's FRANK HANNON Performs Two Songs With Y&T In Rocklin, California

TESLA guitarist Frank Hannon joined Y&T on stage this past Friday, October 30 at the Quarry Park Amphitheater in Rocklin, California to perform two songs: "Rescue Me" and "Earthshaker". "Rescue Me" originally appeared on Y&T's 1981 album "Earthshaker", while the track "Earthshaker" was included on Y&T's debut album, 1976's "Yesterday And Today", which was released prior to Y&T shortening its name from YESTERDAY AND TODAY to its current moniker.

Before launching into "Earthshaker" with Y&T, Hannon addressed the crowd at the Quarry Park Amphitheater, explaining:  "Now, for those of you that know TESLA and you know the history of the band, 40 years ago, long before we were TESLA — actually 45 years ago — before CITY KIDD, we had a band called EARTHSHAKER, because we were so influenced by Y&T and YESTERDAY AND TODAY. And [Y&T leader] Dave Meniketti — come on! So we named our band EARTHSHAKER, and we used to play 'Dreams Of Egypt' and all those killer songs from the old days. And I just can't tell you how honored I feel to play on stage with my hero. Man, my heart is really beating really, really strong right now. And thank you guys for keeping rock and roll alive. Man, what a great crowd tonight. So without further ado, the namesake of TESLA, the original band, 'Earthshaker'."

Meniketti is the only surviving member of the Y&T lineup — then known as YESTERDAY AND TODAY — that recorded the band's self-titled debut album.

Original Y&T rhythm guitarist Joey Alves died in March 2017 at the age of 63. Two founding Y&T musicians — drummer Leonard Haze, 61, and bassist Phil Kennemore, 57, who both had left the lineup — died from complications of lung cancer: Kennemore on January 7, 2011, and Haze on September 11, 2016.

Y&T's current lineup is rounded out by guitarist John Nymann, drummer Mike Vanderhule and bassist Aaron Leigh.

Y&T's latest studio album, "Facemelter", came out in 2010.

In February 2023, Meniketti, who went public with his prostate cancer battle a year earlier, said that he was in complete remission after receiving radiation.

In July 2022, Y&T was forced to cancel its previously announced European tour in order to allow Meniketti more time to recover from the radiation treatments.

Meniketti discussed his diagnosis and treatment during an appearance on an April 2022 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk". Dave said that while prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men, with one in eight men getting it, it is also one of the most treatable, with a survival rate of over 90 percent after 10 years. "This is one of those cancers, if you catch 'em early, you can be one hundred percent fixed — it's over; it's done; you're sorted," he said. "I mean, sure, it could come back at some point, but even if it does, they can treat it again. You usually outlive this cancer, if you get it early enough. So, luckily, I have gotten it early enough."
