    Proof of just how much of a visionary nuno was. He had a huge ideas for three sides and unfortunately it was bad timing and wasn’t what fans wanted to hear at the time. Personally I think it’s one of their best albums..brilliant album!

      A great great Maestro-Musician-Master🤡
      He has been and i belive he still is Our bodiavatva, atleast from my point of view, my hero and Why i am still hangin on and have kept on going through all my shit, but now i can see again, Thank too” you @nunobettencourtofficial and all the fans out there who still Are in the fight for their lives, til death do is a part GREaT Warriors!!

      I appreciate this behind-the-scenes, fly-on-the-wall montage more so than their polished official music videos. To see Nuno so young tapping into his raw musical creativity and bringing it into being is a gift to all of us. I don't doubt for one second that the idea to have a cameraman onboard was Nuno's. The man is genius. He's versatile. He's gorgeous! He's of good character. He is light... Indeed a wayshower/bodhisattva. (May his Atlantis Concerts for Earth be richly blessed.) He's forever in creative motion and his biggest achievements are still unfolding. May God grant him another 30-40 years of music making. He is a supernova!

    IMO, this is Extreme's best song by far. It showcases their musical depth & maturity on every level... song structure, lyrics, hooks, vocals, guitar solo, arrangement & performance. It also shows their originality. Sure, you can hear elements of their influences(Queen, Aerosmith, Van Halen) but not so much that they sound like any one band. It's a nice even mix.
    Bottom line, I don't love everything by Extreme but songs like Rest in Piece, More Than Words and Stop The World make me really appreciate their talent & depth. Cheers
