@@ryanbutler74 That is a custom build done by a local luthier, that one is the prototype for a new model that he builds. I picked all the options, wood, finish, electronics, 32" scale, inlays, etc. Wonderful bass, lucky to have it! Thanks!
@@rrefalo very cool! I play a Yamaha BEX-BS that looks very similar and the Waterstone TP-4 & TP-12. Can’t beat a good semi-hollow. I’m always stoked to see what you’re playing in the vids.
When they did their recent interview videos about the history of the band, I asked whether there was anyone they would like to do but haven't because they didn't think they could pull it off -- whichever band member responded gave me a list of some artists in that category, some not surprising and some surprising to me. That's musical integrity when you could probably get a lot of views by covering a famous artist but choose not to because you don't think you could do it justice.
I am in awe here. Three 12 strings playing on one song? Marvelous vocal harmonies. Man, it sounds like 10 guitars playing and a whole choir on the chorus. Wow.
I've listened to every LLB song ever posted. The instrumental tracks (drums up through the guitars) are always super solid (understatement). This song demonstrates amazing vocals. Vocal tonality / timbre is very hard to replicate. The interplay of the lead vocal and the supporting male vocal is just great. Then, the female vocals are just perfect. My understanding is that this is done across minimal takes. I get that there is prep etc but just want to confirm how really really good this is. And, btw, Extreme is not really my thing. But, LLB surely is. 🙂
Something I admire about LLB is their choice of vocalist. They almost always match the vocal style of the original with their own signature. It's the A+ factor for me.
I think of them as re-creators, not covers. Cover bands generally are stuck on one group or genre. Sometimes they have one guy in the band that sounds a little like Stevie Ray Vaughan or shreds like Eddie Van Halen. The range of music that LLB creates is astounding. Arrangement and talent are matched to bring out the best of the music.
I am never disappointed when an LLB notification arrives! Wow, I think your harmonies in this were better than Extreme's original! The 12-strings sounded absolutely amazing! Perfect choices for every musician and crew involved in this one, LLB. Don't change a thing! Congratulations 👏 👏 👏
Super-fantastique, and I'm not even French, LOL!! Extreme is so very underrated, but that's part of what makes them so great! Plus, Nuno B.'s a true six-string master and your multi-pronged guitar attack did him very proudly on this excellent cover. Well done! P.S., impeccable vocals, bass and percussion work as always. Highly impressed!!😊
Happy to hear that you kept it real throughout. You didn't, "Make it your own". Like I say, if you want to make it your own then sing your own songs. Solid performance by everyone.
I loved this song during its heyday Summer '91. Amazing acoustic sound & harmonizing. You guys gave me chills all over, absolutely AMAZING performance. The only thing missing was the long hair on the guys LoL. Thank you for giving this song new Life. It's currently at the top of my Play List.. As good as the original in every way .. Repeat 🔁 Repeat!
I believe this might be the best cover you folks have done yet. It's a fantastic song (extreme was horribly overlooked by so many) these vocals are so so good. (as is the music). just wow
I remember back in the day I had a 45 RPM with this song, I heard it on the radio and my mouth dropped. Like, what is that ? THe harmonies on the original have been flawlessly recreated with this. I am totally in awe of this. Now it won't be that hard to recreate "More than Words" to round out pretty much ALL of the Extreme hits ever. And that 45 had "More than Words" on the back side. I love this! I am going to have to share this with everyone.
HA!!! I had NO idea how tasty the bass line is until I watched the run @2:18 and then I had to re-listen to the whole song... and hot damn!! The vocals are so tight. Great job!!!
Such an awesome rendition of this Extreme tune !!! The playing and vocals are absolutely fabulous !!! Just another great job by an immensely gifted and talented group of musicians putting out wonderful music time and again.... Bravo everyone !!! ♥️🎶👏👏👏
I used to listen to this song all the time as this CD was the one that spent the most time in my car's radio back in the late 90's while i'd commute to and from work. And as such every beat, word, harmony, etc. is carved into my memory. And wow this is such a faithful cover that it took me right back there. Another masterfully done job by the LLB!
My brother Chuck worked with Extreme on the production of this album, and the video for this song. And I've got to say that you guys did an amazing job on this one
Just one question. How do you fit all this talent in one room? How do you get the vibe, the feel, the mix just right all the time? This is scary crazy, really it is. Guys, you are all great at what you're doing.
Ab. So. Lutely. INCREDIBLE!!! This one's a keeper for you guys! Just.... WOW! The guitars, bass, and vocals are absolutely perfection. You all put the perfect amount of emotion and soul into it. PLAY THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN! You guys are damn good at it!
I never thought that this song could sound better. But, after I heard the version that you did, I was so blown away with the way you did it, that I called all my friends and family to tell them to listen to the way your played it this song. They called me to let me know that it was better version, because of the women's vocal edge that made it even better. Just want to say, Freeway Jam!!!! JEFF BECK!!! I FAVORITE GUITARIST RIDE THE NEXT LIFE YOUR WAY!!!!
My favorite part of the original song were the harmonies. You killed it beautifully! So very amazed how you can cover so many bands, so many songs, and do each one perfectly!
Once again, the LLB brings a level of professionalism and heart to the project. I got to see Extreme do this live back when the song was new and I must say you all have captured each subtle nuance just perfectly. Thanks for your tireless efforts...you are appreciated!!
Wow! The best cover of whole hearted I’ve ever listened to. I wish I could be there singing along with you! Great job guys, super kudos to you all! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Man-O-Man!!!!! The Growing Ensemble-Cast of LLB's Musicians & Vocalists is Spectacular!!!!! I LOVE the way participants vary & specialize-so-Well, from song-to-song!! How Impressive!!! ....AND we can't overlook the great camera work as well!! Thank You
Excellent! I am constantly blown away by your dedication to the purpose of recreating these wonderful songs. You're opening the door to audiences that believe anything before Britney Spears is "ancient." Performance, not Auto-Tunes, is the marinated sauce of music.
Love the sound of a 12-string. Such great musicianship here and amazing lead vocals. LLB is amazing…I can’t get enough of the videos an always look forward to the new released videos.
Mostly you guys blow me away. Occasionally I'm "meh" (I keep it real because I love you guys). But honestly this is that rare occasion when I really feel like you guys surpassed the original by a mile!! Gave me chills. My band used to cover this back in the day. Guitar work and vocals where incredible!! Bravo!!
Absolutely off the scale excellence 🎶🎵🎶🎵👌👌👌 Great to see yet more brilliant musicians of the highest cali re lining up in LLB . Thank you again guys 🎶🎵🙏🙏
This is SO good!!! 3 - 12 strings together, that is a guitar nerds HEAVEN to watch this. And the vocals are so accurate. Such talented musicians all across this performance.
Never seen a 12string played with a slide. Great rendition! While you have the crew together, get them to play some more from Extreme. The Bean Town song catalog never ends.
WOW!! Well done! I saw Extreme live at the Hard Rock cafe, and I must say that you guys knocked this out of the park! I was convinced that only Extreme could sound this good, but this is pretty close! Great job guys!
LLB once again you are rocking us this Thursday night, tapping and dancing you have us!! love the harmony spot on!! Another winner for sure!! LLB proud!!😊🎶💗💗
Seriously....I am overwhelmed by LLB's performance of this tune - as close as you can get to perfection as you can get...(and the 12-string guitars - Taylor's, Takamine's!!!) and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Jessica's accompaniment - (pardon me while I listen to this a few more times...amazing - thank you for sharing your talents!!!
Last year I congratulated you on keeping the 12 strings in tune, but since I have had a chance to listen to your cover a good few times, I just want to say that this is seriously an excellent cover. Well done Lexington Lab Band, I hope you are all doing well.

What is that red semi-hollow bass?

🤠👍 This song turned out really good LLB
Those guitars sound MASSIVE !!!
Damn! I’m convinced there isn’t a band or song on this planet that LLB can’t replicate to perfection. Awesome!
These folks are the bomb, that's for sure.
Agreed.
Still waiting they covering UFO
Right!

Sweet Jesus...this is so good ! Showcase the beauty of male voices...just WOW !
The wonder and magic of three 12-string acoustics, combined with those vocals. What a sound. Great, great job!
OK I've Never seen this done with Not One , Not Two, BUT Three 12 String Guitars!!!! BRAVO!! STANDING OVATION!!! Fricken Amazing!!!!
3 12-string guitars, plus Jessica on backing vocals? What more could anyone ask for! Once again a beautiful job, LLB!
Probably one of the most wholesome and entertaining versions I've ever heard. Hats off to you, LLB.

This song is a master piece of the twelve strings. The atmosphere and Nuno’s arrangement were unique
Something I admire about LLB is their choice of vocalist. They almost always match the vocal style of the original with their own signature. It's the A+ factor for me.
The level of perfection you guys attain is just breath taking. I have never heard a cover band better than LLB.

There’s no better sound than a chorus of twelve strings accompanying a chorus of great voices! Randy kills it on bass too. Great job folks. 👍
@JJ Oliver, The last time I’ve seen this many 12 strings in one place was at a bluegrass festival.
Vandy, the MIX is amazing. I'm at a loss for adjectives for how good the mix is, no less the performance is breathtaking.
Oh my that was goodness!
OMG that was amazing. Closing my eyes, I could see the LLB gang singing around a fire pit after a barbeque.
I am never disappointed when an LLB notification arrives! Wow, I think your harmonies in this were better than Extreme's original! The 12-strings sounded absolutely amazing! Perfect choices for every musician and crew involved in this one, LLB. Don't change a thing! Congratulations 👏 👏 👏

How many out there remember this one from back in the day??? LOVE IT..."more than words"
Just when I think I can't be surprised by their talent, I see this one. My new favorite.
I genuinely hope the guys in Extreme see this. Awesome job.
I loved this song during its heyday Summer '91. Amazing acoustic sound & harmonizing. You guys gave me chills all over, absolutely AMAZING performance. The only thing missing was the long hair on the guys LoL.

This hole in my heart can only be filled by the LLB!!!
Incredible guitars, vocals, percussion. Everything is perfection. Bravo to you.
Rad!!!
Extremely good!
Man, I LOVE the sounds of those guitars! 12 strings have such a luxurious sound. Well done!
I was going to say you just get better and better......but its hard to do that when you are the best already.......
Love ,love ❤ A whole lot,of talent.
Brilliant, clean as a whistle. The harmonies were superb as was the tempo and production. Fantastic performance and arrangement.
This has been rolling around in my head. Had to come back for another listen.
OMGOODNESS.....the music you all make is masterful. Pure joy listening to such beautifully harnessed and orchestrated talent.
I gave this a "whole hearted" thumbs up after listening to the first few notes. Extremely impressed!
There's nothing quite like 36 strings strumming in unison. Great vocals. Missed this one but it's never too late.
Smashed the ‘like’ button in the first 30 seconds, and now listening for the sixth time. Bloody brilliant!
I've listened to this song by Extreme hundreds of times as a younger guy. Very well done!
Simply amazing, you guys bring back so many great memories!! All that was missing were Cam Neely and Lyndon Byers. =D
Kudos alone for keeping the 3 12 strings in tune!
12 string guitars have been one of my favorite sounds, which is why I gravitate to this song. This version is perfect, better than the original !
This song really highlights all the qualities of each of your musicians very well
Love the sound of a 12-string. Such great musicianship here and amazing lead vocals.
LLB is amazing…I can’t get enough of the videos an always look forward to the new released videos.
Mostly you guys blow me away. Occasionally I'm "meh" (I keep it real because I love you guys). But honestly this is that rare occasion when I really feel like you guys surpassed the original by a mile!! Gave me chills. My band used to cover this back in the day.

Boom. Just like that! That's how it's done. LLB nails it again.
Well this one jumps right into the LLB top 10! It inspires me to start a Go Fund Me to get the drummer a complete set with a throne!!!
WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking nailed it great job LLB
fantastic cover by great musicians, the right singers for this song and fantastic backing vocals !!!
Wow, awesome mix of those 12-string guitars, and the bass is perfectly right there. Excellent vocals. You all really do have the best covers ever.
Magic smile machine strikes again. Thank you so very much.😊
The ladies touch just made that song sooo much better!
Jess (on the right) is a southern belle..❤.. Check out her singing on Led Zeppelin "Ramble on"...
Absolutely off the scale excellence 🎶🎵🎶🎵👌👌👌
Great to see yet more brilliant musicians of the highest cali re lining up in LLB .
Thank you again guys 🎶🎵🙏🙏
Y'all just Extremed Extreme!!! Crazy tasty tribute!!! Cheers!!!
I won't lie, this was immensely satisfying to listen to. You nailed the harmonies with this and I reckon Gary and Nuno would be delighted to hear it.
This is SO good!!! 3 - 12 strings together, that is a guitar nerds HEAVEN to watch this. And the vocals are so accurate. Such talented musicians all across this performance.
I'm literally giddy, just heard one of my favorite songs done to perfection, and then some. Whew!
Never seen a 12string played with a slide. Great rendition! While you have the crew together, get them to play some more from Extreme. The Bean Town song catalog never ends.
My goodness those women singing backup are gorgeous! If you married them, KEEP them!
As a fellow 12 string player of many years/ 1970-present, well done, lads.
LLB, outstanding! You go from strength to strength ❤
This particular group should be covering some John Fogerty and CCR too. Excellent!
Bloody hell... talk about leg stomping / toe tapping goodness personified.
Hat's off to you all for a truly excellent rendition.
WOW!! Well done! I saw Extreme live at the Hard Rock cafe, and I must say that you guys knocked this out of the park! I was convinced that only Extreme could sound this good, but this is pretty close! Great job guys!
LLB once again you are rocking us this Thursday night, tapping and dancing you have us!! love the harmony spot on!! Another winner for sure!! LLB proud!!😊🎶💗💗
Wow, not one but THREE 12 string guitars... fantastic sound and energy!
Huge Extreme fan and you guys nailed it!
Absolutely love the 12-strings in here. All the vocals are really well done.
I’m lucky that my brother Ben got to go to the 2023 concert. He gave me a good play list so that I can listen to all the great tunes! Awesome!
Outstanding job guys on one of my favs! I see Zofo is making a comeback! Rock on fellas (and lovely ladies)..
Jaw dropping faithfulness to the soul of the song. What is there NOT to love about LLB?
Nuance and ALL! Very nice! I did get a grin that it took multiple peeps to replicate Bettencourt's part. Nuno is completely underrated!😎
WOW WOW WOW!!! One of your best yet! (I know…. I say that every time but it’s TRUE! )
Seriously....I am overwhelmed by LLB's performance of this tune - as close as you can get to perfection as you can get...(and the 12-string guitars - Taylor's, Takamine's!!!) and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Jessica's accompaniment - (pardon me while I listen to this a few more times...amazing - thank you for sharing your talents!!!

Me parece excelente 🌹 👍
Lo mejor de lo mejor 👌
Muchas felicidades ❤ 🌹 👏

It's a sin to call LLB a cover band when the songs they do have their own awesomeness! Another great tune.....👍👍👍👍
