It's been 35 years since I first heard this extraordinary group infused with exceptional talent. They are my Gen X Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Queen, Van Halen, Pink Floyd and Chicago . . . Should Extreme be in the RnR HoF? They ARE THE RnR HoF!!
I'm really hoping a lot of people watch your next single it's really cool watching you guys make a come back I truly hope you guys can capitalis on the momentum
yeah I'm with you... it is so bad ass. Once again, my shitty genetics and mini me hands are a kick to the nuts. I tried and tried but it sounds nothing like nuno
Thanks to Rick Beato for bringing this new Extreme material to MY attention!........As a DRUMMER, I played this guitar solo back at least 20X just now ...Nuno complete "KICKIN'', SLAMMIN'' ASS" on his guitar solo!!!...Great band & AWESOME 2023-Rock music being made again!!!
Also more proof that RUclips can help music. Rick's video about how most real radio stations have disappeared and how we now only seem to discover new music through RUclips type services rings true. Heard about this song from him and had to go back through Extreme's two 1990s releases. Breath of fresh air.
Actually, they released a great album in 2008, with the lead single/video for King Of The Ladies, which is one of my favourite songs. And in my opinion, it's one of their best songs from the band's catalog.
@@JamesSmith-gk8sz I’m very familiar with Tim Henson and polyphia. Nuno is still “one of” the best guitarists of all time. Doesn’t mean he’s “the best” but he’s certainly up there as “one of” the best.
@@rafaelalmeida1498was gonna ask what he meant by Eddie being his mentor, Eddie was monumental he's a layer in the rock there's guitar playing Before Eddie and After Eddie, but I think Nuno surpassed him
Nuno said in an interview that EVH wanted to hear his new stuff but was told it wasnt ready. Eddie died before he could listen to the finish product. As an homage to EVH, he ran this very solo through a Phase 90. Absolute legend for an absolute Legend.

EVH is smiling through Nuno his fingers, N4, amps and through all of us today on 3/1/23. Great song Gary’s vocals are on, K Fig never misses a beat & Pat Badger is a machine on bass & vocals.
Nuno has been playing guitar like that for almost as long as Eddie was, I don't know why people are saying it's like a tribute to him.. Mutha intro, flight of the bumblebee, Play with me solo
@@richardfisher8460 Maybe they are saying it because Nuno just said in an article he wanted to keep the EVH fire alive. The article is how I found this video.
@@richardfisher8460 The first part of that solo is definitely homage to EVH. Then before that half ends Nuno does some speed burns some palm-muted. He then slows it down & moves to the finger pad runs that are amazing as the band harmonizes “Rise”. I’m very well aware of Nuno’s finger tap runs. His guitar magic in his Extreme & solo career. I’m not putting Nuno down. When it comes to EVH Nuno is humble. He even says he isn’t the one to take EVH’s crown. I personally believe EVH would crown Nuno his successor if he could. My point is that Nuno & the boys brought rock n roll back to the masses dying for it. Nuno is my favorite guitarist of all time.
Sorry but I have to disagree about the eddie van halen smiling down. I believe eddie is alteady smiling at his son Wolfgang. But Nuno is unquestionably on fire in this song!
That solo is something completely new. So technically precise, but somehow tastefully restrained in order to showcase the sheer talent involved in it's execution without resorting to tired stereotypes. Damn impressive.
@Juno Sullivan I like all kinds of rock being a 62 year guitar player that grew up in the Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad Era. To be honest I love great guitar solos from the 60s all the way through current ones. I actually was never a big 80s Hair Band fan. I just thought this particular solo had a very unique sound.
@@petersokol1603 Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp have been on the forefront of original sounding tone and playing. Good guitar playing is just that, good guitar playing. Never expected to be attacked because I said I really liked and thought a solo sounded sonically new to me.
@@JoelBryant1960 He's just a keyboard warrior / music snob, Crimson are cool though. I agree its a fantastic solo and honestly has no reference to King Crimson, completely different genre and execution.
I have 4,000+ cds and if I could possibly wear one out, it would be SIX. I've been playing it non-stop. From top to bottom, Gary's vocals are smokin', Nuno's licks are once-in-a-lifetime, and Pat & Kevin are pounding it strong. WOW! Thank you so much for being REAL musicians that keep this old dude's rock passion on fire. The body may be old, but my music engine inside is still turbocharged!! Well done, Extreme!
There a guitar renaissance right around the corner I can feel it. I’m glad to see extreme make a come back with such a banger. In a world where originality is nonexistent, nuno is always a breath of fresh air.
Nonexistent originality? We are literally in the middle of a golden age of music you must not have your eyes or ears open man. More world changing music comes out every year than you could listen to in a lifetime
I like everybody is blown away by Nuno. But there is NO WAY the drummer should be over looked in this song. Holy shit!! He puts the backbone in this song from beginning to end!!
Agreed and everyone always overlooks Pat too, the bass is killer. it's like the More than Words days where everyone who heard the song thought that Gary and Nuno were a duo.
If you've never seen this band live and they are playing anywhere near you...Go! Two hours of non-stop incredible talent, energy, and musicianship from all four guys! Doesn't matter if they are playing a smaller club or an arena, they give everything they have up on that stage!
The feeling I get from this solo is Nuno saying "Hey Eddie, I'll take it from here my brother"! So much of this solo is reminiscent of Eddie's early playing! Genius song combining drop D power chords from today's era with everything that made a Van Halen solo special! Nuno is the ONLY guy who could pull this off!
He loves Eddie, so if anything, it was to honor him. I’ve never seen so many people talking about one guitar solo the last couple weeks. I hope this starts a fire for heavy rock bands again that make great songs instead of noise. That hasn’t happened in a while.
@@JohnMegaton2062 I absolutely agree! I'm old enough to remember the first time I heard eruption as it was the same type of chatter when it was released. I also remember when Extreme hit the scene in the late 80's and I remember saying to myself, "this is the first player I've heard who has a flare like Eddie's"! Eddie was the greatest rock, rhythm player ever and he doesn't get enough credit for that. Lots of guys can player blistering solos but only a few can combine killer rhythm chops, along with solos that fit those chops, like Eddie and Nuno!
Did Extreme discover the secret to immortality or something? They don't look older, their energy has not lessened and their music has only gotten edgier. They live up to their name, that's for sure. Rock on Extreme! \m/
Gary and Nuno are both in their 60's right? they look like they are half their age and their energy on stage is waaay spectacular than any band. They are all over the place running and making the crowd pumped up.
Beato is great - I hope his snowball continues to grow, VERY cool solo from Nuno!!!! The melody/vocals sounds a little ripped from the late-great Scott Weiland. Just a product of all things 90s here and this ones sounds a little too close to an STP vocals. I still love this but I really hope that is an "homage" to Weiland.
@@FVD I got an hour into the interview and finally thought I had to hear what all the fuss is about. Yes, nice solo ... BOLD solo: I'm surprised they got it to sit in the mix so well.
Showing exactly why Nuno is truly one of the greatest original guitar masters on the planet. His playing just leaves you speechless, then locked in a room for years. Long live lord Nino
So how does this God in Human for not only NOT AGE, but completely and utterly smashes the mastery of his instrument NONSTOP THROUGH THE AGES while also being the most humble and coolest human alive? Talk about inspiring... I'll NEVER stop playing because of the very few guitarists as all-around incredible and inspiring as Nuno.
dont take me wrong, while I like this tune there are lots of releases since that date that are also good, Def Leppard 2015 album has some very good hard rock tunes just to mention one
If that’s the case, you need to listen to Mammoth WVH. Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang. Hell, this tune sounds derivative, sans the chorus. Doesn’t matter. It kicks ass. I just heard Mammoths new release today. It’s badass. “Another celebration at the end of the world”
These guys haven't aged a bit. The vocal harmonies over that crazy solo was something we didn't ask for but something we badly needed 🔥 Pure Extreme magic!
that's the best part of the whole song..simply sublime, the vocals of Gary over that muted solo part by Nuno is sooo epic it makes my hair "Rise" and gives me chills.
@@Decalpha I am guessing -- pure speculation, mind you, that he is referring to a lot of folks out there who know Nuno and Extreme as the "More than Words" guys. People in the know always knew he was awesome.
First off, calm the fuck down. The only people that act salty are the insecure ones. And that's absolutely ok. We all have opinions and who's to say wether we're wrong or right. This kills. Nuno stepping in again at the perfect time. Sitting on King Edward's throne. Y'all just be fkng nice to one another. Got something shitty to say, it's ok. Keep it to yourself tho.
This is just FIRE!!!! Rock does not get better than this... Nuno's playing is better than ever! Gary sounds amazing...better than ever! What a great song...thank you EXTREME!!!!!
This is how to revive rock music-- this is fire. The solo is beautiful-- it sounds new at the same time sounds so familiar that I feel it will attract new generations without annoying the OG rock heads out there. Awesome song!
After listening to the hit songs like Die for You by The Weeknd that are dominating the radio, it's SOOOOOOO refreshing to listen to something like this!
Somebody pinch me. Did I just listen to slamming, rocking tune in 2023? Bettencourt of public opinion says: Yes, you're not dreaming. Chunky riffs and solo pyrotechnics is what rock has been missing since forever. Thumbs up boys 👍👍and thank you for this gem.
@@ATalkingBadger this sound is definitely an improvement since their last album. Yes I love every album from them, but this is the sound they needed. It's fresh, updated, heavy, modern...so on so forth..
Sorry everyone, but Nuno is the best guitarist on the planet! Look no further than the live videos of him performing the solo absolutely flawlessly, and seemingly sometimes faster than the recording was slightly, which doesnt seem possible. This solo made me feel a way ive never felt in 22 years of playing. Tell me there is anything more magical than music? An invisible force that you can control, and you choose what moods to cause the listener to have. Think about that for a few minutes!
Nuno if you ever see this... you are an absolute god on that guitar .. seen extreme last night and my mind still can comphrend how fast and good this gentleman is!
What a solo… it’s got its own voice…like one of those vocalists that belt effortlessly…and just roll off that run that makes everyone go wow…slick…very Van Halen! ❤⚡️⚡️⚡️
Doesn't Nuno look like the ultimate vision of a vintage/modern guitar god here? The cinematography does him justice! It does for the whole band. Definitely Gary too. Just great all around. Glad I'm still here to witness this! 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💕💜
Superbly played, but for me neither the song nor the guitar solo has even a little soul. But technically it's played top, only that and I've already seen Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, EVH...
Definitely. I'm a guitar guy. Love it. I've always liked Nuno's writing and solos were more tasteful than anything EVH did. Granted there are a handful of solos I love of EVH, there isn't one solo I've ever turned my head to with Nuno. iMHO
First Nuno is, strait up, paying homage to one of his heros in that solo as only Nuno can! 🙏 Peace brother! Also, after multiple spins lets just put aside the fact that this track kicks ass for a moment. These guys, like all of us, are not getting any younger yet this feels like they just walked back in the studio after recording Porno or III Sides. 🤯 The energy, the groove, the melody, the harmonies!!! 15 years is a long time to wait, but damn guys please keep doing what you do, because it works!! Cannot wait to spin the rest of the album!
That's all straight up Nuno. The palm muted runs, into a delay. That's flight of the bumblebee. The bitcrusher is new. I'd like to know which peddle he's using - or if it's in post. I totally agree that it feel's like they walked out of cryosleep from 1992, and fed on metal from the last 20 years through a tube. The harmonic treatment is modern. Great song! Feels good man.
Holy efffin crap, Nuno showin this generation what raw talent looks like, Extreme is back with a vengeance! I’m so excited for this, we’ll done gentlemen!
Gary, the charismatic lead vocalist, draws me in and brings me to my knees; Nuno then finishes me off . . . Play again, rise above, play again, and rise above. ❤ Thank you, gentlemen. You re-enforce my rock n roll core. 🎸🤘🔥❤️
Goddamn this is good!!! Nuno’s solo is so jaw dropping that it demands respect on it’s own. I haven’t heard a solo that is exceedingly fresh and unique like that in a long time. Gary appears to be in a commanding role that is ready to hit stadiums again. He seemed to be channeling Scott Weiland at times. He is energized! The whole band is vibing hard! 🤩
why do people say this shit? it's sooo goofy when first of all music is subjective... but also kinda slightly whispering to the world that they haven't at all heard mateus asado, josh meader, joe robinson, chris buck, ichika nito, emil ernebro, nathaniel murphy, roy ziv, etc etc etc.... there's a humongo world of people making *incredibly* creative, technically smoking, unreal music right now. nuno is a great. that's it. the only kinda statement that holds objective truth regarding the subjective.
@@jimc3786 oh cool, you're one of those peeps who throws around the word 'triggered' when people just write something making a point. got it. how fragile, precious, even. peace out, lol :block:
I shall RISE to the top! I am stoked! ❤ I am savoring it! Got my wings and using em!! Shoot me down, and I get right back up! Story of my f. . . ing life!
Nuno is the one guitar player that made me take the instrument seriously. Extreme is in my DNA, PERIOD. This solo is totally him even up a notch ! Great song and best comeback in YEARS !!!
FLIPPIN' NUNO & GARY...... TOGETHER AGAIN WITH THE HARMONIZIN', THE SINGIN' ,THE STAGE PRESENCE AND THE TOP OF THE BEST GUITARS OF ANYBODY TODAY & YESTERDAY!!!!! CONGRATS BOYS ON MAKIN A OLD SCHOOL MTV STYLE HIT!!!!! LOVE IT!!!! 🤘🏾😝🤘🏾
I like how Extreme manages to remain who they are despite what happens in the music industry. However, they get BETTER with each release. Gary with his powerful voice/insightful lyrics, Figg bringing the hard hitting beats, Pat being their Michael Anthony, and Nuno. . .Nuno is one of the last OG guitar greats. He is my EVH just like Eddie influenced him. We must embrace what Nuno and the boys are doing here!!
New Single "Other Side Of The Rainbow" out now. Watch the video at ruclips.net/video/Nx_b5nytSWA/видео.html
Amazing track too! looks like your album will be the best record of the decade.🤘
Nothing good about this

That solo is superhuman.
Not much has shocked me in the last 10 years guitar wise in this genre. This is ludicrous level shocking. What genius.
This solo made me miss EVH and Dimebag at the same time, and it reached its goal, according to Nuno himself: to keep EVH's flame burning alive.
Superhuman, haha
its nunno so its meh for me he aint that crazy compared to most goated players
He's crazy because he creates actual music at that speed, not cellar-dwelling turd-polishing wankery. @@Septicshites
How to gently humble the last generation of guitarists with a single guitar solo 😍

Nonexistent originality? We are literally in the middle of a golden age of music you must not have your eyes or ears open man. More world changing music comes out every year than you could listen to in a lifetime
@@smilleur Then why hasn't it changed the world?
@@smilleur hey That is good News as an oold Guy who has Not Followed up the last decade could you please give me some names
I like everybody is blown away by Nuno. But there is NO WAY the drummer should be over looked in this song. Holy shit!! He puts the backbone in this song from beginning to end!!
Agreed and everyone always overlooks Pat too, the bass is killer. it's like the More than Words days where everyone who heard the song thought that Gary and Nuno were a duo.
Yes he's a killer drummer as Paul Geary was and fit like a glove!
K-Fig!!!!
🥁👍🏼🔥
Yeah he's beatin it down good
Pat Badger and Kevin Figueiredo are the most criminally underrated rhythm section ever…
One of the sickest guitar solos ever recorded. Insane.
Well stated.
Absolutely!
and it s not even in his top 10 solos imho
If you've never seen this band live and they are playing anywhere near you...Go! Two hours of non-stop incredible talent, energy, and musicianship from all four guys! Doesn't matter if they are playing a smaller club or an arena, they give everything they have up on that stage!
The feeling I get from this solo is Nuno saying "Hey Eddie, I'll take it from here my brother"! So much of this solo is reminiscent of Eddie's early playing! Genius song combining drop D power chords from today's era with everything that made a Van Halen solo special! Nuno is the ONLY guy who could pull this off!
buckethead.....can pull off anything.....facts
I had the same reaction, like I was watching a respectful nod at EVH and he was nodding back... gooosebumps everywhere and a smile...
@@jibobarrow8350 no way! He has the technical abilities but not the groove or feel of Nuno and Eddie!
He loves Eddie, so if anything, it was to honor him. I’ve never seen so many people talking about one guitar solo the last couple weeks. I hope this starts a fire for heavy rock bands again that make great songs instead of noise. That hasn’t happened in a while.
@@JohnMegaton2062 I absolutely agree! I'm old enough to remember the first time I heard eruption as it was the same type of chatter when it was released. I also remember when Extreme hit the scene in the late 80's and I remember saying to myself, "this is the first player I've heard who has a flare like Eddie's"! Eddie was the greatest rock, rhythm player ever and he doesn't get enough credit for that. Lots of guys can player blistering solos but only a few can combine killer rhythm chops, along with solos that fit those chops, like Eddie and Nuno!
what a comeback! Nuno is on FIRE, what an incredible solo
🔥💯
Not to mention Pat and Gary sounding awesome as well.
Finally new Nuno solos!!!! So happy. He sounds good & charged up!
Good Chorus ！！
@@johnwhite8114 Kesha loves it!
What a killer song ! Nuno shows again that he is stll one of the most incredible guitarist that ever walked on Earth.
Nuno's secret is in the way he writes his solos. The playing sounds extremely difficult while actually being pretty simple.
Did Extreme discover the secret to immortality or something? They don't look older, their energy has not lessened and their music has only gotten edgier. They live up to their name, that's for sure. Rock on Extreme! \m/
Gary and Nuno are both in their 60's right? they look like they are half their age and their energy on stage is waaay spectacular than any band. They are all over the place running and making the crowd pumped up.
Maybe they went vegan and started to do yoga or something:)
They moisturize. 😉
Just drugs
ACDC still rocking in their 90s 😂
Welp! Thank you Rick Beato for the heads up about this Solo and the hype was true!!!! That solo just melted my face!!!!! That was PERFECT!!!!
And an additional hats off to Rick for his most recent interview with Nuno!
Rick Beato is a must watch for those that love great rock music!
Beato is great - I hope his snowball continues to grow,
VERY cool solo from Nuno!!!! The melody/vocals sounds a little ripped from the late-great Scott Weiland.
Just a product of all things 90s here and this ones sounds a little too close to an STP vocals. I still love this but I really hope that is an "homage" to Weiland.
@@mikepasichnuk5197 I couldn't agree more on the Scott melody/vocals sound. Another great band that is no longer with us.
@@FVD I got an hour into the interview and finally thought I had to hear what all the fuss is about. Yes, nice solo ... BOLD solo: I'm surprised they got it to sit in the mix so well.
Showing exactly why Nuno is truly one of the greatest original guitar masters on the planet. His playing just leaves you speechless, then locked in a room for years. Long live lord Nino
Long Live The King.
It's Nuno!
So how does this God in Human for not only NOT AGE, but completely and utterly smashes the mastery of his instrument NONSTOP THROUGH THE AGES while also being the most humble and coolest human alive? Talk about inspiring... I'll NEVER stop playing because of the very few guitarists as all-around incredible and inspiring as Nuno.
I haven’t heard great rock like this since the 1980s. About time.
Listen to the darkness
dont take me wrong, while I like this tune there are lots of releases since that date that are also good, Def Leppard 2015 album has some very good hard rock tunes just to mention one
If that’s the case, you need to listen to Mammoth WVH. Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang. Hell, this tune sounds derivative, sans the chorus. Doesn’t matter. It kicks ass. I just heard Mammoths new release today. It’s badass. “Another celebration at the end of the world”
Extreme came out in the 90's
Well pornograffiti was from 1990 …
Nuno is an absolute beast and his rhythm and chops are beyond beyond. Loved that man for decades.
+1
These guys haven't aged a bit.
The vocal harmonies over that crazy solo was something we didn't ask for but something we badly needed 🔥
Pure Extreme magic!
Yes, I noticed it right away. Nice, really nice.
Yes that was a pretty special moment hearing that, I think I stopped breathing for a moment because I found it so emotional
I asked for it.
The best part of the song for sure.
that's the best part of the whole song..simply sublime, the vocals of Gary over that muted solo part by Nuno is sooo epic it makes my hair "Rise" and gives me chills.
This is without a doubt theeeee gr8tisr solos of all time!!!! Nuno is a GOD 4 EVER!!!!
Abso, fakkin, lutely
Their “III Sides To Every Story” album is a MASTERPIECE!!! xoxo The Clarences
Yep, that’s my favorite by them. Schitzophonic is greatness too (Nuno solo)
I agree, that's my favorite of theirs, followed by Pornograffiti and their debut.
Totally agree! Pornograffitti was amazing, but III Sides took it to the next level... unfortunate timing though.
Not to metion the production on that album is insane!!!!!
For real. Been one of my desert island albums since it came out and still is.
It’s so awesome to see Nuno, my personal guitar god since I was 12, getting the recognition he deserves
He's bing great for a long time. What are you talking about???
@@Decalpha I am guessing -- pure speculation, mind you, that he is referring to a lot of folks out there who know Nuno and Extreme as the "More than Words" guys. People in the know always knew he was awesome.
Like Ed, has rhythm!
First off, calm the fuck down. The only people that act salty are the insecure ones. And that's absolutely ok. We all have opinions and who's to say wether we're wrong or right. This kills. Nuno stepping in again at the perfect time. Sitting on King Edward's throne. Y'all just be fkng nice to one another. Got something shitty to say, it's ok. Keep it to yourself tho.
@@Samurai78420He's keeping EVH's flame alive, *not replacing him,* you imbeciIe. Nuno himself said that.
This is just FIRE!!!! Rock does not get better than this... Nuno's playing is better than ever! Gary sounds amazing...better than ever! What a great song...thank you EXTREME!!!!!
Yes, Nuno is the best guitar player ever 🎸
Lmfao huh? Rock gets SO much better than this. This song isn't as good as any of the songs on their first 3 albums.
@@ATalkingBadger Go home, snob
Nuno you are a genius
Much love and appreciation
This is how to revive rock music-- this is fire. The solo is beautiful-- it sounds new at the same time sounds so familiar that I feel it will attract new generations without annoying the OG rock heads out there. Awesome song!
My thoughts exactly.❤
Edie Van Halen vibes. Best solo I’ve heard in a very long time
After listening to the hit songs like Die for You by The Weeknd that are dominating the radio, it's SOOOOOOO refreshing to listen to something like this!
Sounds familiar because the first time sounds exactly like Steve Vai's songs!😁
Somebody pinch me. Did I just listen to slamming, rocking tune in 2023?
Bettencourt of public opinion says: Yes, you're not dreaming. Chunky riffs and solo pyrotechnics is what rock has been missing since forever. Thumbs up boys 👍👍and thank you for this gem.
And it`s melodic pyrotechnic, not just some chromatic or pentatonic pattern anybody could play with a bit of practice.
Can we all agree this was totally worth the wait. What an incredible song.
No. I’m psyched it’s finally coming out but I would have been much happier last year at this time since it was completed 2 years ago.
Agreed! Fasten your seatbelt for the rest of the ride 😎
We definitely can't. Not that good of a song and doesn't sound like Extreme. I absolutely love Extreme, but this just wasn't it.
15 year wait?
@@ATalkingBadger this sound is definitely an improvement since their last album. Yes I love every album from them, but this is the sound they needed. It's fresh, updated, heavy, modern...so on so forth..
Sorry everyone, but Nuno is the best guitarist on the planet! Look no further than the live videos of him performing the solo absolutely flawlessly, and seemingly sometimes faster than the recording was slightly, which doesnt seem possible. This solo made me feel a way ive never felt in 22 years of playing. Tell me there is anything more magical than music? An invisible force that you can control, and you choose what moods to cause the listener to have. Think about that for a few minutes!
Nuno's solo is just insane
It starts with a mistake according to him ruclips.net/video/sYpKg6HR1z8/видео.html
His OK is Incendiary
Totally agree!! Rocks!!!
Just Nuno doin Nuno things...
Just Amazing!
I wish I could say Extreme being back put a smile on my face--but Nuno's solo melted my face off!
Nuno is 1 in a million. Amazing solo here.
Nuno, you are still worldwide guitar hero.. Thank you for comeback with cool nice music
My god, this goes hard! Worth the wait if the rest of the album is of the same quality. Still my favorite band after all these years!
Would you like us to spoiler that for you? 🥸
Same
@@earMUSICofficial I sure hope the rest of the album sounds nothing like this and sounds like Extreme.
Nuno Bettencourt is one of the great guitarrist of all time. Rhythm killer and insane tone!
Always was
KICK ASS!! If Nuno's solo doesn't give you chills, you might be dead.
Nuno if you ever see this... you are an absolute god on that guitar .. seen extreme last night and my mind still can comphrend how fast and good this gentleman is!
This is the first music video in a while I've watched more than 10 times in a week. Great to see them back in action
Same here! 🔥💯🤘
It's so catchy, but I love Nuno
Same here can't get enough of Nunos solo, Gary vocals and the Badger back on bass...Extreme 6...He'll Ya..Chino505
Deserves it. Have you already seen the Dany Carey/Tool Pneuma Vic Firth video? 😉
Listened to it everyday since release. Amazing vocals, stellar Guitar playing, super catchy song!🔥
1000’s of shredders on RUclips, but Nuno always stands out
yeah, those "show offs" modern shredder's that plays ultra technical but got no soul. Itchika who?, Jason who?, Tim Hens..who?😂🤣😁
It's like seeing a long lost friend after years! Welcome back boys! It's been a while
What a solo… it’s got its own voice…like one of those vocalists that belt effortlessly…and just roll off that run that makes everyone go wow…slick…very Van Halen! ❤⚡️⚡️⚡️
I would say very Bettencourt.🧐
Nuno has always been a shredder. Great solo. Alot of EVH tones in there. Carry on his guitar spirit as long as you can. Long live EVH!
There's a song too !!
@@StratsRUs I didn't like the song. If that offends you, so what. Stop reading comments if you are so easily offended.
Once again Nuno making guitar players around the world jaws drop.
The whammy bar riff at 2:34 is definitely a salute to Sir Edward. Great to have Extreme back!!
Yes! Also the pinched harmonic walk down at 3:25, is reminiscent from I’m the one VH song
Amen bru
The solo is simply a piece of art
When we talk about guitar, we will always talk about Nuno and this solo! We always will in the thousands of years to come! Thank you Nuno.
Doesn't Nuno look like the ultimate vision of a vintage/modern guitar god here? The cinematography does him justice! It does for the whole band. Definitely Gary too. Just great all around. Glad I'm still here to witness this! 🔥🔥🔥💜💜💕💜
Now imagine living on a paradise earth forever and think of what you'll see.
Nuno's solo is the highlight of the song. I've not heard a solo like that in a long time.
LITERALLY the highlight of the song? Really? Not figuratively?
The solo was reminiscent of something from their first two albums. Nice.
@@taylorhackford Third album. Sounds like an overhauled Cupid.
Nuno’s solo is the best part of the song. I love Extreme, but this song is subpar at best.
@@Polychrome1201 I was thinking more of Peacemaker Die on steroids.
That song is SICK!! Solo is untouchable!!! Extreme rocks once again.
Superbly played, but for me neither the song nor the guitar solo has even a little soul. But technically it's played top, only that and I've already seen Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, EVH...
Reminds me very much of what's his name from Danger Danger.
Untouchable? Nah.
Wow! Awesome video! Great song! What a solo! Love the other new songs too! Other Side of The Rainbow 🩷✌️🎶
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Garys voice is still top notch, and Nunos guitar skills are still incredible.
It's insane how much EVH I can hear in his playing and it still sounds fresh, Nuno is a king.
Nuno is raising the hand for being one of the greatest musicians and guitarists of all time. Salut
If I stay, I will surely decay . . . I surely will. No compromise, feel alive . . . TAKE A DIVE!
Nuno and Extreme delivering a song and performance I think we all needed.
That may be one of the most epic guitar solos in any song, ever. That is up there in the EVH stratosphere!
Definitely. I'm a guitar guy. Love it. I've always liked Nuno's writing and solos were more tasteful than anything EVH did. Granted there are a handful of solos I love of EVH, there isn't one solo I've ever turned my head to with Nuno. iMHO
Total nod to EVH
@@retiredsuperstar7780Nuno has played like that for years, just because he taps and dive bombs does not mean it's a nod to EVH
First Nuno is, strait up, paying homage to one of his heros in that solo as only Nuno can! 🙏 Peace brother! Also, after multiple spins lets just put aside the fact that this track kicks ass for a moment. These guys, like all of us, are not getting any younger yet this feels like they just walked back in the studio after recording Porno or III Sides. 🤯 The energy, the groove, the melody, the harmonies!!! 15 years is a long time to wait, but damn guys please keep doing what you do, because it works!! Cannot wait to spin the rest of the album!
Brilliantly said my brother!
That's all straight up Nuno. The palm muted runs, into a delay. That's flight of the bumblebee. The bitcrusher is new. I'd like to know which peddle he's using - or if it's in post.
I totally agree that it feel's like they walked out of cryosleep from 1992, and fed on metal from the last 20 years through a tube. The harmonic treatment is modern. Great song! Feels good man.
Who is he paying homage to in this solo? Really curious
@@bhaveshramdaursingh4325 your mother
@@bhaveshramdaursingh4325 nobody. Nuno doesn't need to.
I can't stop watching that solo. Mindblowing!
Truly stunning guitar solo. EVH would be very impressed with that one 👌
EVH would have that solo on clip rewind.
They should do a few early 80's british pop themed songs,with spacey background vocals & trippy psychedelic guitar solo.
@Ethereal Catholic2 have you listened to their old albums?
@Lee Aycock evh would be proud of influencing thus and dimebag darrell would of just beamed a bright smile if he could hear this
@@Stevennickel No.
Holy efffin crap, Nuno showin this generation what raw talent looks like, Extreme is back with a vengeance!
I’m so excited for this, we’ll done gentlemen!
Which generation? Gen x, y or z? Gen z are a lost cause.
Nuno builds up a skyscraper with his guitar!!!!
Thank you Extreme for keeping the flame burning! 🙇🏻♂️ 💙 🔥
Gary, the charismatic lead vocalist, draws me in and brings me to my knees; Nuno then finishes me off . . . Play again, rise above, play again, and rise above. ❤ Thank you, gentlemen. You re-enforce my rock n roll core. 🎸🤘🔥❤️
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
@@NunoBettencourt-ke4kk Doing well! You?
@@shariblack4128 I am doing good, and it’s a pleasure to have you here. Well I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
Goddamn this is good!!! Nuno’s solo is so jaw dropping that it demands respect on it’s own. I haven’t heard a solo that is exceedingly fresh and unique like that in a long time. Gary appears to be in a commanding role that is ready to hit stadiums again. He seemed to be channeling Scott Weiland at times. He is energized!
The whole band is vibing hard! 🤩
I was just thinking this song really starts off with biiig STP vibes.
I hear an STP vibe in that main riff so the Scott reference is ironic.
I came to say I hear a bit of an STP vibe as well.
Yep, agreed - was getting a couple of Purple-era STP references in there...which can only be a good thing in my book!
Because the verse is basically a faster tempo version of Lounge Fly, that's why. LOL
After 30 years since I first listened to Extreme’s songs, their new song still sounds Extremely new. Truly amazing.
That solo is gonna create a ton of new guitarists. Props. That low end part was insane.
めちゃくちゃ最高です！
I could listen to this song all day. Feel good vibes and Nuno's solo just SHREDS
Nuno is probably the best guitarist on the planet right now. . . Great song
why do people say this shit? it's sooo goofy when first of all music is subjective... but also kinda slightly whispering to the world that they haven't at all heard mateus asado, josh meader, joe robinson, chris buck, ichika nito, emil ernebro, nathaniel murphy, roy ziv, etc etc etc.... there's a humongo world of people making *incredibly* creative, technically smoking, unreal music right now. nuno is a great. that's it. the only kinda statement that holds objective truth regarding the subjective.
@@DanielBoonelight who knew me complimenting a guitarist would trigger you so much. . .but pretty much most guitarist I know agree he is. . .

Nuno is the one guitar player that made me take the instrument seriously. Extreme is in my DNA, PERIOD. This solo is totally him even up a notch ! Great song and best comeback in YEARS !!!
@Scripteaze That's your opinion... Not mine.
Finally!❤️ Great Riffs, Great Vocals, Great Drums, Great Bass. Great Extreme in all its colors.. Damn, Great Song!!!
It’s great!
The opening drums licks remind me of White Zombie's "Black Sunshine" 😃
Gary Cherone just dominated and slayed on vocals here!...what a legendary frontman.👍....Extreme rules and Rocks!🤘
Simply awesome!! Nuno and guitarists like Joe Satriani simply shred without tricks like finger tapping! Outstanding!!
FLIPPIN' NUNO & GARY...... TOGETHER AGAIN WITH THE HARMONIZIN', THE SINGIN' ,THE STAGE PRESENCE AND THE TOP OF THE BEST GUITARS OF ANYBODY TODAY & YESTERDAY!!!!!
CONGRATS BOYS ON MAKIN A OLD SCHOOL MTV STYLE HIT!!!!!
LOVE IT!!!!
🤘🏾😝🤘🏾
We've gotta push this to 1 billion views, and quick! This song rocks!
That would be great but if nothing else, let’s get it to Two Million on April first because it will be out a month by then 🤘🏻
I like how Extreme manages to remain who they are despite what happens in the music industry. However, they get BETTER with each release. Gary with his powerful voice/insightful lyrics, Figg bringing the hard hitting beats, Pat being their Michael Anthony, and Nuno. . .Nuno is one of the last OG guitar greats. He is my EVH just like Eddie influenced him. We must embrace what Nuno and the boys are doing here!!
