He is one of the best guitarists ever and not given enough credit. Technically he is very hard to beat. It’s hard work as a guitarist in a three piece band. Take it from me!
It’s crazy how underrated this band is . I had a poster on my wall in 89 because I loved Nuno’s playing even then. The growth between this album and Pornograffiti is astonishing. Nuno is still rocking today so all those Rhianna fans can hear how to play an electric guitar!! ❤
awesome band but always thought the song more than words was a good and bad thing for them. They really had a lot of exposure because of it but on the other hand that's the only song that they are known for now. Think it kind of put them in a box that they could never get out of but just my opinion
@@lubbocktx35 true.. it did definitely seem to.. they put out a lot of awesome tunes. The one thing they had that few bands had was a rhythmic groove that never got dull.. everything was just badass.. nuno is a badass guitarist..
Extreme are a fantastic mix of wonderful lyrics and also brilliant sounds from a range of guitars ,drumming, and the brass section and the beautiful harmonies of the lead singers , who I don’t know your names, I’ve just discovered you because of your song , More than Words it is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, you remind me of Queen in the early days , I am a 69 year old man in the UK who has just become a fan,
Gary's voice is still on fire, and he has the same or more energy in 2023. Nuno is simply the best, Pat and Paul were the perfect groove section. Kevin keeps the classics solid and brings some awesome chops to the new stuff. So happy these guys are still making art, keeps us older fans feeling young.
Love nuno, want to marry gary but PAT!! he doesnt get the same chatter being opposite nuno and he is fantastic!! Pat if you are out there you are FABBBBB
Awesome! This must be a video they did for their demo of the song. Anyone else notice how different the song is on this video compared to the album version and the later video. I was into Extreme WAAAY before they got popular with More than words and Hole-Hearted. Being a guitarist I knew right away how badass Nuno was. Their latest DVD Take Us Alive is incredible and I recommend it to anyone who digs guitar driven rock.
I had a compilation cassette of up and coming bands in the 80s that my mum got when she bought a U2 record as a bundle. It had this song on it and was the only song I could remember off it but didnt know who made it. So I put what lyrics I could remember in Google and it was Extreme! This version too! Great song. I was about 8 then.. 42 now.
Very different version than the album or the radio edit of this song. Solo was different, different guitar fills, cool though. Nuno is the shit, no one touches him. There had to be another "Eddie Van Halen" to come along, different that the Yngwies or Vais or whomever. Someone good enough to bridge the gap of shred and hooky songs, Nuno is that dude. He's one of the guys that you can hear all the influences in his playing, without it sounding like he's a clone or plagiarizing their playing style. Not to mention, he can rip like any other virtuoso that's come along, before or since. And bonus, he's a good, humble dude, I've met him a couple times and he remembers people's names and what they do. He deserves everything a Rockstar should get.
Just saw them earlier this month. Lots of energy live. I bought this album when it came out bcoz of this song. MTV was playing the heck out of it. This remix version in this video is even better than the original dead cut! It's a banger!
I like this song as soon as I heard it in 89. It was their next record, specifically, get the funk out, that was a masterpiece. The guitar solo on GtFO is imo, the greatest solo ever recorded. I know, big praise. It just technically incredible, fits the song so well and flows with soul. There are a TON of songs out there where the solo does not fit the song. Especially during this era. Some guys were just trying to impress with speed. Nuno has to be top 3 of living guitar players right now.
to me , that ´s what made music back in the day unique , bands with real talent and musicians who dared to look different, today´s rockers look like high shcool principals , music lost the talent and the fun :(
So... music for you is all about being gay as shit? Who the fuck cares how the musicians look, if they are good indeed. This is the only good song Extreme made. They are pure glam shit. Sorry for the disagreement, I just think you're not right at all. This kind of stupid immature behavior (trying to look different, but still not looking good at all) is the typical "rebel without a cause" scenario.
thesantiso I said bands with TALENT first , whether or not you like this style of music you simply can´t deny they´re talented musicians , Nuno wrote some great leads and harmonies , i said looking different was part of the style ´cause it simply adds more fun to Rock music in general , bands like Kiss and Alice Cooper come to mind right now , i don´t know about that looking gay thing , ´cause gay people dress in a variety of styles and i couldn´t care less if they´re gay or not . Also the clothes you wear don´t make you less of a man or woman , our money and rights have been stolen for ages by people wearing suits and short hair
Phoenix Van Wyden It's the attitude what I say about gay... not only those fancy costumes. Meaning, that ego (yeah, no pun intended) and that narcisism these "musicians" have is so gay it makes me want to puke. Now, I'm not homophobic by any means, but I just like to disqualify what they want to represent. It's pure bullshit. Now, the people following this bands like you... they surely have a reason to be rebels or to look different than any other people, not like this commercial idiots. I still think they are not talented at all, besides all that I've said. Sorry for how harsh I started the discussion... Even more, when you're a woman. That was really disrespectful from me. I just clicked reply, without watching the profile photo. By the way, you're really an attractive woman! And liking this kind of music, sorta makes you special. Kind regards!
thesantiso Hi ! No harsh feelings at all , you were just giving your opinion like i was giving mine :) That´s one of the reasons Rock in every genre may it be Hard Rock , Heavy Metal , Punk is so good , we can discuss all the bands we love and also the bands we don´t , in the end we´re talking about music and there´s nothing better than this :) Kind regards :)
funk master nuno, was just a kid when I first heard him. sound unmatched when he is really playing from the heart. thanks for showing that funk and metal match all to well..
this song was one of first songs i ever heard in my life this song i heard first when i was just 3 months old my dad played it to me and i love extreme till today and Im 17 now but my very first song that i have heard was decadent dance and i love all their songs till today and i will keep loving them
This makes me wanna listen to Extreme III. I remember I bought it from a thrift shop and thought it was pretty good but my life at that time was too messed up to really give it a good listen.
Nuno Bettencourt is among the top guitarists and was under rated, he is currently part of Generation Axe which is a mind blowing super guitar group, check them out
Compared to the version recorded in the officially released debut album Extreme, this Pv version has a more realistic feeling as if you were listening to a live performance, and each member's performance is vivid, so this is a rock band. That's why it's transmitted. As a fan, I have a feeling that I wanted this PV version to be included in the debut album.
Mãe de Deus che strafigoni incredibili!!!! Sia dal punto di vista fisico che dal punto di vista artistico! Mi martella il cuore in gola! La miglior band degli anni '80/'90. Peccato averli scoperti e approfondito molto tardi. Però, evidentemente, è stato il momento giusto. Non devo avere rimpianti. In fondo, il destino mi ha fatto un regalo davvero sorprendente che non è detto si possa avere anche solo una volta nella vita. Mi auguro ardentemente di rivederli ancora quest'anno e di ripetere un'altra serata come quella dell'anno scorso.
Actually remember seeing this on an MTV show called Hard 30, sometimes Hard 60 were they'd play heavier music and lots of up and coming hard rock bands. Also once saw "Mutha Don't Wanna Go to School Today". When " More Than Words" came out, I already knew about their heavier stuff, Such as this one, but wonder why they only played their ballads. Thanks to RUclips, prrior to this, I saw that Gary's previous band the Dream did a demo of Mutha on an MTV video contest! See the song got re used in Extreme. Good choice, though only saw it once.
Such a talented band, really Great, I was so much into them in early 90' s but rhen grunge swept away everything but now at a distance od years I found out no matter of trends, fashion or whatever music Is about although I remain still pro gloomy music the music of Extreme Is special and I love It also so much
I remember Extreme, but not gonna lie, I came here because of that insane GoT cover, reignited my interest since I hadn't heard them in a while.. Well, that, and Clone Hero.
Extreme were not glam metal, look at the album cover. Glam bands wore lots of make up. Extreme were barely even a metal band. Just call them a rock band.😁
It sounds very different to the Verson on Spotify, I love this band, the guitarist is my 6th favourite guitar man, after Jason becker, marty friedman and yngwie malmsteen and eddie van Halen,, rock on other fans of this song!!!,, 🤘🤘🤘
Nuno Bettencourt. One of the greatest guitarists alive. I still love this band.
it's an injustice that this comment only has a 100 likes. Nuno is one of the greatest ever!
He's also a great 🥁 keyboard player singer songwriter producer composer and singer
Couldn't agree more
i don't know about the greatest guitarist alive, but he's still really good.
@@briansantella4022 NOT
Saw extreme 4 days ago and im still buzzing! Nuno so underrated, his solos were note perfect and Gary has the energy of a 18 year old!! Keep rocking 😊
Just saw them in Amsterdam this week. F-ing amazing as per usual!!!!
Saw them in Dallas this past weekend and 🔥🔥!! Gary can sing and dance like no time has passed. Nuno is perfection!
Молодцы парни! 😊
He is one of the best guitarists ever and not given enough credit. Technically he is very hard to beat. It’s hard work as a guitarist in a three piece band. Take it from me!
They’re a 4 piece bro 😂
Nuno was/is a master.
@@lrobbinz He's a "MONSTER"!
He is given the credit he deserves don't worry about it
@@wolfsamuels2357 too much credit sometimes, dude thinks he's God's gift to women. He drinks too much, and curses too much!!!
It’s crazy how underrated this band is . I had a poster on my wall in 89 because I loved Nuno’s playing even then. The growth between this album and Pornograffiti is astonishing. Nuno is still rocking today so all those Rhianna fans can hear how to play an electric guitar!! ❤
This IS the best version of this song! Killer melodic guitar 🎸 solo!
Nuno can definitely bend those guitar string!
How cool is that downtuned riff?! This band is amazing, Nuno is the final evolution of a 80s shredder
The other day my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I answered: "Nuno Bettencourt"...
He's amazing!!!
Well did you?? It's been 9 years
I’m on
We need an update!! Lol
Nuno is great.
very underrated band. that guitarist kicks massive ass.
jerry inscore Nuno Bettencourt,huge talent. been a fan of his since the 80'S. STILL kicks major ass
Hell ya Nuno is underrated ..
Legend has it, the Ninja Turtles villain was named after this guitarist
Saw them in Boston many many times in the clubs before this album came out 86-early 87. They were killing it.
I’m tellin ya rock a bye bye his solo hit my dam soul
It's amazing how different this is from the CD version! Still ROCKS like a mo-fo though!!
2020 - yes, I'm still loving this song.
awesome band but always thought the song more than words was a good and bad thing for them. They really had a lot of exposure because of it but on the other hand that's the only song that they are known for now. Think it kind of put them in a box that they could never get out of but just my opinion

Extreme are a fantastic mix of wonderful lyrics and also brilliant sounds from a range of guitars ,drumming, and the brass section and the beautiful harmonies of the lead singers , who I don’t know your names, I’ve just discovered you because of your song , More than Words it is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, you remind me of Queen in the early days , I am a 69 year old man in the UK who has just become a fan,
I hope you checked out their masterpiece “III sides”.
The members are (or were):
Gary Cherone - lead vocals
Nuno Bettencourt - lead guitar
Pat Badger - bass guitar
Paul Geary - drums
I'm 57yrs old and I still love this music!!
Me too...57 and still love them. They're on heavy rotation again!
Age is a number not relevant when it comes to music, even toddlers move to music and those in rocken chairs can too!
Gary's voice is still on fire, and he has the same or more energy in 2023. Nuno is simply the best, Pat and Paul were the perfect groove section. Kevin keeps the classics solid and brings some awesome chops to the new stuff. So happy these guys are still making art, keeps us older fans feeling young.
Love nuno, want to marry gary but PAT!! he doesnt get the same chatter being opposite nuno and he is fantastic!! Pat if you are out there you are FABBBBB
The song that got me into Extreme many years ago... glad I finally saw them about 10 years ago, best concert ever
This is different than the album cut. It’s great to hear a different version from the same time period that I didn’t know existed!
I never heard this version before. I freakin love it!!!
Just saw them again ❤ love them so much! My dream came true. I could never imagine seeing them live.🥹 So thankful. ♥️🖤🤘
Portugal, a country so small but still have the best in the world to almost everything. Viva Portugal, Força nuno

Huge Extreme fan. Went to a ZZ top concert just because Extreme opened. This version of the song is different from the CD
So different sounding
I think the solo is also different
Don't confuse confidence with egotism. ❤
How is this tune as underrated as it is????
It isnT possible to overcome Extreme in terms of performance. Gary shines in isolation and the band's look is
unsurpassed perfection...
Loving the late 80’s style - kids may laugh at it now, but we all knew it was the thing at the time
The kids all listen to actual garbage these days anyway. Mumble rap isn't even the worst of it. They have genuine brain rot
Very different version than the album or the radio edit of this song. Solo was different, different guitar fills, cool though. Nuno is the shit, no one touches him.

The lead singer has friggin wild amazing energy lol i swear he could be Steven Tyler’s son , friggin epic
Gary would find that a compliment! He probably worshiped the ground Steven Tyler walked on!
nunos always been underrated
Clint Whitaker Extremely underrated. Pun not intended
Kaydence Demers that was good it actually made me laugh!!!!! thank you!!!!
chylamedia queen Lol no problem. 🙂
I love this song!🎶🎵

im 18 and man I love my parents for getting me into these guys loved them since I was 5 :)
LOVE the alternate version of this song!!!

sound unmatched when he is really playing from the heart.
thanks for showing that funk and metal match all to well..
THANK YOU
Nono is unquestionably a guitar god!!!
Driving around blasting Extreme...good times!!!
This solo is WAY better than the album version! It has that warped, melodic Marty Friedman sound to it...
Спасибо за ваше творчество! 😊
Nuno was crushing egos out of the gate! 💥🔥
Nuno is such a Diva, he thinks he's the best at everything.
He IS ❤
@@kaetzle1 Are you agreeing with me?
@@lorettasearcy1471 nope, he IS the BEST
The BEST BAND EVER!
Was lucky enough to catch them at the channel a bunch of times in the 80s. Always a good time. Miss those days. :)

Agreed. Extreme is awesome! Wish I could sing like Nuno.
Looks like gary cherone injects himself red bulls on every video lol he is so energetic, awesome btw..
This is better than More than Words...way better!!
Hi guys I just wanted to say good luck with the new album and I hope Y"all have a happy and safe New York much love from North Carolina
This makes me wanna listen to Extreme III. I remember I bought it from a thrift shop and thought it was pretty good but my life at that time was too messed up to really give it a good listen.
One of my favorite extreme albums. Hope you got back in touch with it.
Lindos recuerdos de la juventud..... recordar es volver a vivir .

wow! until today i have never heard extreme and after today i will be hooked on them all the time!!
People still do not understand that without advertisements there would not be youtube.
Wow, I forgot about this version....I REALLY like this version
Still one of my Favorites!
This version is much better than the album version in my opinion
i loveeeeeee gary and nuno
as corny as it was 80's was Awsome ...concerts will neva be the same ....
Extreme Extreme !!!! Love it !!
Pamela Malmlund Extreme really Rock
YUP!!! Nothing like a great 80's rock tune!!!

Not the version from the album, but I think I like this mix better ... got a heavier vibe. Good stuff!
Bass is fucking dialed up here ;)
Just found out they were actually playing while recording
It's the original studio version
Dakuan73 no it isn’t this is way heavier than the album version you obviously don’t listen to extreme much. Nunos bass is cranked way up
This is called the east coast version I was told today I think this version is much more bad ass nunos tone here is to die for
Sue S 79 years young and still rockin out!
We need an F’N tour!!!!

Miss this awesomely cool music... Oh the memories
Who's still listening in 2021 ?
I still have the cassette tape
I love Nuno!!!
Remix or no remix, this song fucking rules! Extreme is the best band of the "end" of the dynasty of hair metal!
I really do love Classic Edition Nintendo Entertainment System back from the 1980's, don't you, folks?
Awesome and I am saying thank you for all of your help. If it wasn't for you tube as a whole, none of this would have ever happened.
Just saw them yesterday…and they still fucking rock! Specially Nuno, the guy is from another planet.
It's a feel good song on the weekends. 😀👍🤘🎸
No sabía que Extreme en los 80's sonaba tan Glam. Interesante.
This is still so good all these years later
It’s soooo good
They don't make em like this no more straight ahead funk with a metal edge
They do, you need to look harder:
www.autopsyreport.co.uk
This is probably one of the wildest mvs I've ever seen.
Still listening ur a legend
Such a talented band, really Great, I was so much into them in early 90' s but rhen grunge swept away everything but now at a distance od years I found out no matter of trends, fashion or whatever music Is about although I remain still pro gloomy music the music of Extreme Is special and I love It also so much
best lookin guitarist in the world!!
Extreme :) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Kid Ego ,rock na veia !
I like the heavier feel of this version
Wish I could get this off iTunes.
This version I mean.
I wish this was the album version I have always loved this one the most
Now I know where _'Steel Panther'_ came from...
In a million years time when humanity sets down its entire history in every detail the eighties will be skipped over somewhat.
An awesome hard drivin' track.
I remember Extreme, but not gonna lie, I came here because of that insane GoT cover, reignited my interest since I hadn't heard them in a while.. Well, that, and Clone Hero.
Glam metal !
What funk? No. Here it is glam metal.
Extreme were not glam metal, look at the album cover. Glam bands wore lots of make up. Extreme were barely even a metal band. Just call them a rock band.😁
And if you're in a relationship i hope you're happy. But I still love you and I always wil
Nuno!!!! One of the best!!!
HEAVY METAL WITH A FUNKY GROOVE. Saw 'em rock in Honolulu, Hawaii. FUCKIN' ROCKS!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
it's rock, not metal.
Está canción es perfecta, mucha energía distorsión la voz la fuerza, very good extreme
It sounds very different to the Verson on Spotify, I love this band, the guitarist is my 6th favourite guitar man, after Jason becker, marty friedman and yngwie malmsteen and eddie van Halen,, rock on other fans of this song!!!,, 🤘🤘🤘
Hi guys I'm a huge Extreme fan. My birthday is six day's and it would be awesome if Y"all would wish me a happy birthday much love ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘 ❤ 😍 💖
These guys were awesome right from the start!
