Full Throttle Live contains three new Tesla songs consisting of “Time To Rock!”, “Cold Blue Steel” and their cover of Aerosmith‘s “S.O.S. (Too Bad).” In an interview with Sleaze Roxx back in July 2022, Hannon was asked about “Time To Rock!” being a return to the Tesla classic sound after the experimental record Shock to which he replied:

“Thank you. It’s definitely us. It’s Jeff Keith and I, who are the main writers of the band. He and I chipped away at it for a couple of months. We had the chorus on the bus. We chipped away at the song in dressing rooms, on the bus and in my garage. I came up with that first groove which is a ‘heavy handed’ blues lick, which is very reminiscent of Ronnie Montrose or something. Maybe it is a ‘throwback’ because working with Ronnie Montrose takes us back to our early beginnings. Going back to ‘Shock’ for a minute, that album was ‘sonically’ a collaboration with Phil Collen. It was definitely a Def Leppard type sound, because he co-wrote all the material. It was an experiment that we tried. We hadn’t even done that before. Nothing wrong with that. Artists do that stuff all the time.”
