My good friend, Bill Hayes, was a longtime childhood best friend of Gary's. Sadly, Bill died of an undiagnosed heart condition a few years ago. But... not to bring you people down. Bill was very proud of his good friend Gary. And I was very happy to have know him. Bill was also a school teacher. And an all-over wonderful guy! Because of Bill, I would go see Extreme many times live at the "Living Room" in Providence. An awesome club, that unfortunately is no longer there. Some of my best 1980's memories. Thank you Bill, and thank you Gary, for all the 80's teenage memories. Keep on Killing it!
I don't know. I can't ask Bill, because he is dead. But I doubt Gary is a flamer. It's so easy to be a "Flaming Asshole" behind the guise of anonymity. You're everything wrong with this world. But for some strange reason, I like you. Because you are so closet GAY!
Everybody always says how underrated Nuno is....Nuno, Gary, Pat and Paul are ALL underrated!!! LOVE EXTREME!!! They weren't named Extreme for no reason...
@@suzieredfoxfur6982 I am doing great, and it’s a pleasure to have you here Suzie. Well I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
I never noticed how much Van Halen is in his guitar tone this song...that and his 4x12 cabinets look just like Ed’s from the first couple Van Halen tours...Love it...
I said the first day I listened to this album, that these guys had the best harmonies of any of the bands of this era. And you are 100% correct...there are no bands today that even come close to being able to pull this kind of stuff off!!
More than words completely caught a different fan base, as a 37 Yr old I wish I seen these guys in this era, these guys along with slaughter, where brilliant, the vocals and guitars where unbelievable
when i first heard this song i said to myself, who the fuck is this?......he was on the cover of guitar for the practicing musician right after that rightfully so........kicks ass
extreme sadly was lost like warrant slaughter coming to late in awesome best 80s rock 89 to 91 then sadly grunge3 if these guys came out say 86 . still an awesome band
HAMMERJACK'S!!!! Oh damn, I forgot about this video. Went on an Extreme binge after listening to the new album and said, "Hmmmm, that place looks familiar...Is that? IT IS! YES! HAMMER'S! I saw Extreme there back in the good old days. LOVED that place!
As long ago as it was, the fact that alternative became more preferred to the mainstream to this day still burns my ass. The guitar work in these kinds of songs gives me goosebumps and doesn’t even compare

I remember Vivian Campbell saying in an interview when he first joined Def Leppard that it was one of the few bands he knew of that actually SING their harmony parts and do it well...but from a production standpoint, I do recall a lot of their stuff being fairly effects intensive. As for Extreme, Nuno stated one time that he, Gary, and Pat just kind of naturally fell into where they normally sit singing 3 part harmony...that it was almost effortless. My choice vocally would still be Extreme.
The first time I heard this was in the parking lot while I was in summer school, trying to pull up a weak English grade. You're not supposed to enjoy summer school, but that summer I did.
When Brian May makes a reaction video of one of your solos, how are you not more well-known? im no astrophysicist, but im in complete agreement with him about Nuno's riDONCulous playing. Saw these guys in Germany, promoting Pornograffiti and they did NOT disappoint!! Funny thing was that I was the isolated audience members who seemed to know any of their songs besides More Than Words. I still remember that Nuno played the intro riff to this twice as fast as he needed to, which created a weird distortion that sounded like very loud silence. His acoustic solo was utter madness, which impressed even the girls waiting for them to play MTW. What a great band! Thanks for uploading!
For a song whose subject material is so lighthearted, this song never fails to mesmerize me. The harmonies sound like something you'd here in church, and the note Gary starts holding at @2:35.. wow!! One of the most complex (harmony-wise) songs they ever did!
Absolutely one of their best songs. Love the harmony vocals on the chorus. Great stuff. Contains a lot of elements sorely lacking from today's rock music.
wow, Van Halen anyone? this song kicks some ass. Wish I woulda given this one a chance in '89... why I didn't I can't remember as I did Dangerous Toys, Junkyard, a whole bunch of others. I want that kid's shirt!!!!
the whole video was filmed in Baltimore, MD, roughly 1989 - I was at the show, met the band, and it was AWESOME .... the show footage was at Hammerjacks in Baltimore.
This video was filmed in and around Hammerjacks in Baltimore, MD. Once a great night club, now just part of the parking lot of Raven's Stadium. R.I.P. Hammerjacks.
When I got extreme album I always skipped more than words sadly they are the more than words group. If they had come out 1983 to 86 they would have been a huge band but they were 89 to 95 and that was to late. Nuno is a wizard on guitar and Gary was great lead man. Awesome band
Nuno is excellent! Would love to have had his looks and talent when i was young! Imagine the chicks he could pull! Lol! This album i never heard til now! Me thinks i have to buy it ASAP!
If you have AXS tv or RUclips, watch the interview with Sammy Hagar. These guys have an album. Just waiting to get over this freaking pandemic! Been listening to these guys for 30 years! This was one of my fave high school go to songs!
I am a lucky gut that was able to open for this MONSTER band 5 time in the 80's Extreme 3 times at the Living Room in Providence RI one time at the Channel in Boston ,Ma and my faverit was at Tody's place in conn . Great guys and players and always made us feel at home in the dressing room with us . Nuno said to me anyone that plays a old kiss song was cool with me . Me and the other band member would go see them practice in Revare Mass and they would be killing it always open practices !
I love this song and the video. I come from Medford, Mass. and Gary Cherone used to work at the same mall I did. He was really nice. He looked and acted just like the video. I love how he makes sure the kid gets home at the end, like an older brother.
ok so...been watching this video since forever and never noticed the little nod Nuno gives to Eddie VanHalen with the 4x12 speaker cabs in the video...same style Eddie used in the early live VH shows...Awesome...
Born in 82. Not sure what year it was but i remember being like 12 maybe? And this was the first cassette tape ever purchased, or was allowed to purchase. And it was 10000% because of this song.
This was the very 1st extreme song I heard I think between 80 and 89 I think I was 13 or 14 Going on 48 now it's still listening them like I did back then.
My sons birthday, 3.14, pie day, sent the intro “Mutha …..today…..play yeah” and texted him a evolved primate happy birthday lyrics, haha, hope he has a freakin blast day
hell yeah!!! The first time i heard this song it made me stop in my tracks. The intro is frikin great! Nuno was a sweet guitarist.... what am i sayin he still is... right?!!
Have any of you seen the original video for this song, before Nuno, Pat, and Paul were in the band? All the non-Gary guys in that band look like the guys who would work in the guitar or drums department of the local mom & pop music stores that made most of their money renting/selling trumpets and clarinets to middle school band students. Then suddenly in 1984 they needed to stock guitars, drums, and amps because EVH exploded the rock scene through MTV and needed to hire the local long-haired guys to have a "cool" presence in the store to attract the pimply 12-year-olds who wanted to play rock and metal music. Those are the non-Gary guys in this band and I won't be convinced otherwise.
Oh i so loved this song it was part of my daily playlist in 1989 .I was a junior in highschool when i first heard it. Still love it . The only good thing about school at the time was the chicks.
Listening to the guitar sound in the intro (especially, with the flanger) its obvious where Nuno got his inspiration:)) -Eddy! But I love Nuno dearly...he s just amazing
NuNo just keeps getting better and better. If you haven't checked out his work on their last album rise do yourself a favor give it a listen. The solo on the song rise itself garnish so much attention for all the right reasons man absolutely amazing
This video was Shot at Hammerjacks in Baltimore I was there and I use to be able to find myself when this video was on MTV it's a little harder to find myself now. But I was in the front row headbanging
I love extreme I’ve decided they’re fitting on my battle vest as well, there’s always glammy bands missing thankfully on the last section of my patch’s it fits up there’s always a room on the very bottom like a train
when this came out i said to myself "who the fuck is this?" immediately following nuno was on the cover of the magazine "guitar for the practicing musician" as metal God in waiting (i apologize if i got the publication wrong but i am old guy). I couldnt believe how talented he was. rock on nuno, give it hell brother.
I think if I remember correctly, Gary said in an old interview that some of the stuff on their debut was meant to reflect on his childhood... hence the lyrics to this song.
I remember girls buying Porno graffiti cause of MTVs' constant play of hole hearted and more than words.. and all of them hated the album, cause those songs are kind of from left field compared to that album and their real music...ha...
Karina Bodart R. Gameiro Funny…I avoided the album because of More Than Words and thought they strayed too far from the debut album. I won a contest for a local radio station. Pornographitti was a throw-in gift. Aside from More Than Words, I fell in love with it as soon as I played it! I even forgave them for that song after hearing the full album.
their name says it all. their other ballad, When I First Kissed You, sounded to me like it belonged on a Tony Bennett album, but that's just how wide the band's musical wingspan is: Extreme.
I am sure Gary Cherone doesn't remember me but he used to work at the record store at the Meadow Glen Mall in 1981 when I worked at The Levi's Store. I used to yell down the Mall to Gary, "Gary, Don't Want to Go to Work, Today." You Should Have Credited Me in the Song, Gary. ;)

Parenting done right!
Played this for me son this morning and he smiled as he avoided waking up

33 years old and those power chords still give me goosebumps...

me too!!!!
I’m 62 and I still do! They’re great live! Looking forward to the rest of the new album!

Check out his interview w Dweezil Zappa - Unchained was his direct influence for this song
@1chancellor1 You definitely can hear it. Especially when he hits the flanger pedal for emphasis on certain parts, just like in Unchained.
Such an underrated band. Nuno is still one of my favourite guitarists of all time, the guy really deserves more credit than he ever got
Well he has got credit in a sense , he has been Rhiannas musical director and lead guitar on every tour she has ever done , not a bad day job
Extreme - kings of the 80s, featured in Bill and Ted, huge singles - are not fucking underrated.
Agreed
Epic
I said the first day I listened to this album, that these guys had the best harmonies of any of the bands of this era. And you are 100% correct...there are no bands today that even come close to being able to pull this kind of stuff off!!

Nuno is fucking awesome!!!!!

What a dumb comment. A bit of music? Sit down fool.

He is simply one of the most talented guitarist ever

I really wish this video included the intro solo, that solo is so heavy
Nuno is awesome, he can play multiple instruments, and write, and sing.
The first time I heard this was in the parking lot while I was in summer school, trying to pull up a weak English grade. You're not supposed to enjoy summer school, but that summer I did.
Nuno getting absolutely twisted on the guitar on this one....highly under rated guitarist!!
Dude is an absolute beast on the strings! Wish I saw him
Live!
Agree 100 percent
You _must_ know he's not underrated.
@DaveDexterMusic what I mean by under rated is he never gets mentioned among the greats and he rightfully deserves to be there...
Nuno is a top player

I just searched don't want go to school when I was having dinner, then got this escape song.
love the harmony on the chorus of these guys, you dont see bands these days that can do that. they might have one guy that can carry a tune

I didn't know there was a note called "play".
@@Hellwyck you don't know a lot of things

I was sick one time but my school didn’t believe me so I got my gutair and headed up there and played this song it felt great
very nice, very Van Halen style
