Agreed. Guy isn't merely a guitarist... Nuno's music is layered with a great deal of subtlety.... and you have to be pretty deep to not only catch on...but fully appreciate the nuances of his chording, choruses, and particularly harmonies. His stuff is just as sophisticated as the old masters, from centuries ago.
I forgot how truly awesome this piece is. Each part tells its own story just to be combined at the end. I feel Extreme was a little ahead of their time for that.
Far, far out in front. If Gary and Nuno ever had anything they wrote, that could be determined to be their "Magnum Opus"... ? This is most assuredly that song. I believe that the term "profound" applies here.
Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dreams, explaining that his first dream about a huge statue was about the succession of different empires: the Babylonian empire being the gold, the Median Empire being the silver, the Persian Empire being the bronze, and the Hellenistic Empire being the iron. GOD is great!!!!
I have love this so since the album came out! Rediscovered it resently mainly due to there not benign much out there that is really doing it fir me lately! The mixing, mastering and seer amazing writing and performing of this master piece will away be a favourite!! Possibly on the funeral song list! Not in a morbid way, just think it will cheer every one up and let them see that there is good in life 😃
There are loads of masterpieces in music, such as Fool's overture from Supertramp, Supper's ready from Genesis, but most of them were written in 70's, masterpieces' momentum in music. This one is special as these are getting rarer. Powerful and moving orchestra songs tend to fade into biz. Some bands intend to anyway like DreamTheater (eg : octavarium) even if it sounds colder

[14] I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. GOD is great!!
Thank you. I really was wondering, when someone would finally, at last, give an English translation to the classic Latin spoken towards the end of "Am I Ever Gonna Change?". I snoozed through Latin, in High School, like an idiot... *chuckling* Now I kick myself for it.
25 years now - would have been exciting to see an anniversary tour - for this most underrated album (absolute masterpiece)I imagine that samples of an orchestra would have certainly cheapen it though. Sadly, Extreme is not so financially successful so as to pay a full orchestra to join them on a tour
First, remove your head from where it is lodged... Obviously in your own rectal orifice. At that point, this will then permit you to take five or six Cue Tips, and use them in an aggressive manner, to remove the fecal matter from your ears, so that you can hear the words correctly. There ain't no "funk" in this fuckin' song. You're welcome.
First time hearing this. It's OK. Mediocre lyrics at best. It's basically soft rock, so... Not really my cup of tea musically. I grew up in the 80s too... Not sure when exactly this was made tho. Queen is 1000x better.
Been listening to this from 1993 to 2023 and it amazes me still, to this day.
A truly great piece of art that most of the world will never know.
true, and this makes me cry. What an injustice
Absolutely agree with this still in 2024
Nuno Bettoncourt is one the best Guitarist/Composer of the last century.
no doubt about it !!!

20.20 surely the greatest ´yeah´ in musical history..........................gets me every time.
Great catch, Moose. 💯

The definition of epic.
Typo at 1:56 ... Wou?? But, whatever, by far the most underrated album track(s?) in the history of rock. SImply epic .. Nuno is a genius.
Please please please please please do it live with a symphony orchestra already!!!!!!!!!!!
Awsome...I have always looked at this song as "the story of me"

These guys are the masters of guitar layering!
I have to agree. Nuno does tricks with that Washburn that Ed Van Halen once said he wishes he'd thought of...

I heard this as a kid and I think Nuno and the boys wrote something beautiful if not inspirational.
Superb.
