I can never get tired of this song's simple beautiful harmony. It's a classic masterpiece.
I unfortunately did work experience in a hotel kitchen when this came out, and the head chef's partner had bought her this (I think on tape) and every day for the 2 week period I was there she played it non stop on repeat - I do love the song, but did get tired of it very quickly lol
@@tyger166 my friend worked at a place and they would play the same playlist every day. This song was on it, and she hated it because that’s all she heard every shift. I think I changed her appreciation for it now atleast 😂
Nuno is one of the best guitarists you will ever see. His solos are awesome.
YEP!
Agreed. And SO easy on the eyes 😍
Give Marcin Patrzalic a listen you will change your mind
Rheanna's guitarist for her live shows. Listen to Extremes 'cupids dead'
Not just on the guitar, but his harmonies are amazing!!!
Extreme was my first rock concert when I was a kid LOLOL. My momma took me. I remember looking around and being so uncomfortable about being THE ONLY black folks there. I never will forget my mom said " Who cares. Just enjoy the music." I settled down and had a great time. I 've been rocking ever sense. Now I could not care less if I'm the only black person in the crowd. I'm " enjoying the music" baby!
Important lesson and I dont think anyone else in the crowd was "uncomfortable" having you there either. Keep enjoying good music.
I had a very similar experience except reversed the first time I went to see Del the Funky Homo-sapien
You're mother is a smart woman
Love this. Bravo. Awesome mom too. 😊
Music knows no boundaries.
Lex, PLEASE listen to Brad - As a 53 year old female, I learned many years ago that words don't mean SQUAT - If actual actions back it up, I'd let someone talk my ears off 24/7 - Btw, you two are ADORABLE
💯 I loved that convo at the end... those need to be public for everyone to understand healthy balance. Agree with Brad that the words are over used... found someone who agreed with me and then never said those words... figured out he was a narcissist a little too late. There's a balance.
48 year old female here. SPOT ON! Ugghh, learned that the hard way. 🤦
Words are hollow when used without action. Look for the discord between what a person says and does.
Ps that is why they made this song. You can search it up and they explain exactly that
Simplicity is a wonderful thing. Beautiful harmonies and a guitar. All I need.
Thank god this song happened. Completely killed this crap and allowed good music to happen. This song was the funeral for hair bands.
"Hole Hearted" by Extreme is one of my favorites....great acoustical voices.
💯
Mine too
One of my fav extreme songs
Yes! I also love that one too
The guitarist, Nuno Bettencourt, can shred on the electric guitar.
He is an incredible player, no doubt
One of the best
I saw Brian May of queen break down his solo in get the funk out, said he couldn’t ply it, and would put it up against any solo ever. HIGH praise
He's nasty on Rest in Peace!
Portuguese power 😁
Extreme? Hell yeah! -> "Decadence Dance" should show you a little more of their "extreme" side. "Get The Funk Out" has one of the all-time greatest guitar solos ever. I can never listen to it without just grinning from side to side. They've got quite a wide spectrum, too. I've always loved their second album (from which this is) the most. Such funky, funky metal-rock.
Brian May said that solo in get the funk out was as great as any ever written
It's a Monster. Pornograffiti, He-man Woman Hater, these songs all rock.
Their best is Get the Funk Out and Play With Me 🙌🏼
Mr. Big - To Be With You. Came out around the same time and these two songs were on the radio constantly.
Loved Mr. Big!!! Bought that album with my allowance! Hahahaha
Came to say this. A similar time and sound with an uplifting vibe
they sure did..... got to do Hole Hearted video next ... czcams.com/video/I-h4A7bF8wQ/video.html
They’ve definitely got some heavier stuff - “Get The Funk Out”, for instance.
Killer guitar solo too.
The first time I heard "Uptown Funk You Up" by Bruno Mars, I was like Hey, they ripped off Extreme's "Get The Funk Out". Listen for it.
Also it’s a monster and decadence dance
Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon covered this song in a skit in the same style of the video. It’s pretty good considering it was done for laughs. But Jack Black is the voice of Tenacious D so it makes sense.
Great cover
@@davidandrew6957 Yea it is! I just went and watched it again after commenting. It was better then I remembered lol.
That cover was the absolute best! 😄 Jack Black's usual dramatic gestures were hilarious and his voice was perfection. Also, I wish that was Jimmy's actual hair. Lol
I feel like "Get the Funk Out" is their most underrated tune.
No offence, but that song was horrible in the day and it likely did not age well from there
@@Dustin-eh5go Opinions should never offend anyone.
This is back from when every hair metal band had to have a sappy love song ... often acoustic. Nuno Bettencourt is a serious beast on guitar and their harder/faster songs are all really extreme (and on a side note, Gary Cherone ended up doing a short stint as Van Halen's singer after Sammy Hagar)
Oh jeez, I completely forgot he was with Van Halen for a while. Thanks for the memories.
Get the funk out is the track you MUST hear from Exrreme.
Absolutely!!
You guys should check out Extreme's Queen medley at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. They killed it!! Amazing band live!
Their was a lot of comparison with Queen. Good vocal range and they played every kind of music.
They are a hard rock band, but they had to make a ballad to have a hit, that's how it worked back in the day.
They did it a little bit different than most bands though. I realize Pornograffiti wasn't their first album...but back then, every time a band released a new album, the FIRST single was usually a rocker. THEN the ballad came. But you're right in that it was very formulaic. But "More than Words" was the first single from Pornograffiti.
The live version of "Get The Funk Out" with Nuno's intro is a must see.
Harmony's on this song are really awesome
This is still a great ballad.
I always liked their song Hole Hearted more. It's just more fun.
'Play With Me' because of Bill & Ted ;)
Funny is that Extreme are always mentioned by More Than Words and the other single Hole Hearted. The rest of the Pornografitti album was so funky and heavy. Listen to Decadence Dance and Get the Funk Out. Their vocalist Gary Cherone later replaced Sammy Hagar in Van Halen and sang on the Van Halen III album. If people bought Pornografitti after listening to the two singles they were in for a surprise. The rest of the album was totally different. The follow-up III Sides to Every Story was a great album but totally different. More like a concept album
This song was a worldwide smash. Number 1 in the US and known all around the world. I work with a guy that grew up in Colombia, South America, and he told me this song was huge in his home country. With that said, this song is not indicative of most Extreme songs. They are rockers, for sure. Great band. Gary is one of the best frontmen you’ll ever see in concert and Nuno is a guitar god. I’m so glad I grew up during this era. So many great songs and bands.
Lex sums it up perfectly at the end with "woo, beautiful"! Sometimes i prefer some music that is more "extreme", but this song has always been one of my favorites. A classic.
Extreme's lead singer is Gary Cherone who replaced Sammy Hagar who replaced David Lee Roth on Van Halen.
I love this song so much. Its a blast from my younger years. Beautiful song 🎵 ❤ Enjoyed y'alls reaction Brad and Lex 🔥❤
“He Man Woman Hater” is another one of their heavier jams… and there is a version out there that starts with “Flight of the wounded bumblebee” which lets nuno flex his guitar skills
TRIUMPH Fight The Good Fight
Nuno Bettencourt is one of the best guitarists ever. Check out Play With Me, or Get the Funk Out for some more shred style rock music.
He’s my cousins godfather
I feel like this song is about the girl always saying I love you. It's mechanical. It should be said when you are truly feeling it... in the moment.
I feel like this is a song about a dude trying to get his girl to put out. A little less conversation, a little more action.
Try (by Extreme) Do You Want To Play, Flight Of The Wounded Bumble Bee. Those songs will show you the other side of their talent. Extremely awesome.
HOLE HARTED,,AND MORE THEN WORDS 2 OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER...AND BOTH WAS ON THE SAME ALBUM
This is the best known track from 'Pornograffitti' which is a very good album. It's a very diverse album going from some really good Heavy Rock tracks to more ballad like stuff like this. Well worth a few listens. In fact I'm off to dig my copy out in a minute.
Everyone in this band is super talented... but the stand out is Nuno Bettencourt. (The other guy singing.) He shreds. There's a scene in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure where Beethoven is playing a keyboard in a music store. The music in this scene is Extreme. It's not a keyboard, it's Nuno shredding on the guitar. The song's called Play With Me.
The meaning of the song is about showing someone you love them means much more than simply saying it. Too many people say it but don't show it.
I love this song and your reactions.
Softest song from Extreme. Their other songs are hard and very VERY well composed. Amazing guitar by Nuno. Give Peacmaker Die, Everything under the Sun a listen. Each song is a masterpiece. Very underrated band - Like Tesla. LOVE THEM!!!
Met Nuno once and he signed one of my guitars! Amazingly talented guitar player and one of the most personable people you can meet! He's REALLY good people!
Had this song and Hole Hearted played at our wedding.
They’ve got rockers as well . Gary Cherone was Van Halen’s 3rd lead vocalist for 1 album
You have to do Rest In Peace!!!! Nuno’s guitar solo is insane.
My favorite solo of his!
This is probably the reason I learned to play guitar.. for Extreme. This ballad was completely different than the other songs on this album. They needed something for radio airplay. It reached #1 on the billboard charts in the Spring of 1991.
Oh lord, is it really that long ago?
Wicked set of pipes on that lead singer.
This was the song that ultimately served as the catalyst for the band breaking up in 1996. They got tired of being known as the "More Than Words" band.
Check out the rest of the "Pornograffitti" album. That's what made Nuno Bettencourt a guitar hero.
Extreme broke up because the singer split for Van Halen gig. No? Anyway they're BACK together.
My husband of 18 years is very good at showing how much he cares. He works away from home for 20 days at a time. Our house is paid for, bills are paid monthly, and we have 4 pets to keep me company at home because I am a disabled stroke survivor since 2007. A couple of years ago, he fell at work & broke his leg in two places. I made sure he was fed & watered for the 2 weeks prior to him getting a walking cast. He only did what he wanted & was able to do. He told me I didn't need to baby him (his words) so much. I replied that it was my chance to care for him as well as he does for me & I would be damned if I let that opportunity pass.
These lyrics validate my whole life. I'm female. "Love" is a easy word to fling verbally around with no weight behind it.
Nuno is an excellent guitarist. This happens to be a ballad. Most of their material is heavy. "Get the funk out" or "Decadent Dance".
The two of you hit the nail on the head! Women need to hear it so if a man respects her, he won't be cheap with his words. Men need action. So if a woman truly respects her man, she will back up her words with actions.❤️❤️
Listen to any song with Cinderella, they got great ballads and good rock songs.
2+ years when this song came out it was played at every wedding I went to.
Rush: A Farewell to Kings (one of many prophetic rock songs)
Listen to the entire album “3 Sides To Every Story”. It’s a sample of total range of musicality of this band.
💖💖💖💖 *These two, singing this song, is like watching butter melt, in the most sensual way* 💖💖💖💖
Showing someone you love them by your actions is much more important than pretty words.
If you guys liked this song, the band Mr. Big has a song called, “To Be With You” in the same vein. They are a hard rock band also.
These are definitely reflective mood jams! 🤘
A very enjoyable reaction, as always. I have always loved this ballad. I was a young paratrooper in the 82nd when that song first came out. Good times. If you two want to listen to someone considered to be the best vocalist in the world, and likely in recorded history, listen to Dimash Kudaibergen (Qudaibergen). Vocal coaches, professional singers, and industry experts the world over all agree that there is no one like him in recorded history. He sings in more than12 different languages and also plays six instruments; the piano, dombra, guitar, xylophone, cello, and drums. During his live concerts, he usually performs for more than two hours and treats his audience to an eclectic mix of styles.
His range is over 7 octaves (A1-D8), according to some analysts, spanning across all four registers. As many probably know, the four registers, from lowest to highest are vocal fry (pulse), modal voice, falsetto, and flageolet (whistle tone), and Dimash seems to effortlessly navigate between them, often within a single breath and without a break in between. Dimash has even hit a D8 for ~5 seconds with vibrato, the highest note ever performed during any live performance. He sings in multiple musical genres. His main genre is classical crossover, but he also sings classical music (bel canto), pop, and world music. He uses musical elements, vocal styles, and techniques of many other genres, including jazz, rock (e.g. screams), RnB, musical theater, even rap, as well as Tribal and Middle Eastern styles. He can go from Barry White to Mariah Carey in a single run. If you are interested, check out his 2018 performance of "S.O.S." at Slavic Bazaar, his 2018 performance of "Sinful Passion" at New Wave, or his performance of "Stranger" at 2021 New Wave. You will not believe your ears and you will never look at other singers the same again.
Nuno here is absolutely NASTY on a guitar, helped inspire me to play 28/9 years ago - Check his song Midnight Express, it's just insane what he does in that. Rest In Peace off the 3rd album is heavy but melodic as hell, then their song Play with Me (sick solo in this) was in Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure.
It was actually a #1 song on the Billboard 200
Nuno the guitarist with the amazing hair, played for Rhianna for years. And may still play with her. You know Rhianna loves rock and metal.
I met them on this tour. A friend of mine was doing a start-up Rock magazine, and because I knew a lot about the band, she wanted me to interview them. About halfway through the interview, their manager walked up and pulled us aside asking for our passes. Little did I know, my friend hadn't gone through the channels, and just had word-of-mouth from the local radio station that we could interview them. So halfway through my interview, we were thrown out. Gary came up to me right after, said it wasn't right, and offered me backstage passes to finish the interview. I thanked them all profusely.
After leaving, my friend and I had a difference of 'opinion' on a few things, so I never made the concert...but they were great guys.
One My Favorite Band In Highschool (I Still This Band As An Adult!)🥰😭🤗🥰🎼🎸
Stunning harmonies. Damn, you guys brought me back a few decades!
Great & unique band. They were different when most bands were the same.
Words alone don't mean much ... actions combined with words are what it takes.
Extreme also has so many rocking songs too. Nuno is an awesome guitarist. He is very underrated. Check out the tracks 'Kid Ego', 'Play With Me', 'Get the Funk Out', 'Pornograffitti', all great rocking tracks!
You’d better get a clue Brad! Lex is all but telling you “show me AND tell me that you love me.” She’s a true gem, better treat her like one!
This band did this song, 2 heavy metal songs, and a Frank Sinatra cover all on the same album. They are Extreme. One other thing the lead singer Gary Cherone did an album with Van Halen.
Was OBSESSED with this song & Extreme when I was a youngin 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nuno is a fantastic metal/rock guitarist. To contrast this song, you should listen to Get The Funk Out.
Everyone always talks about how sweet a love song this is. I used to hear the same thing. One day my view changed and now what I hear is a sleazy guy pressuring a girl to put out." You say you love me, but you can prove it without words."
But there is no doubt about the amazing talent of the guys in Extreme. Their skill, vocal and instrumental, is showcased in their diverse style.
THANK YOU!! "What would you do if I took those words away? Then you couldn't make things 'new' just by saying 'I Love You'"
Love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷90's great memories 🎼EXTRME play HEAVY 🔥METAL 😈some kind a FUNKY 🎩🎸🤘
Words mean something if you honor them. Love this song.
Get The Funk Out is a great Extreme song.
Nuno is a beast on guitar.
I could listen to them harmonize ALL day long! Not hard on the eyes either 😏
They still sound the same ,they still have so much energy on stage. I see them every year.Plus they are the most down to earth people you could ever meet. When they play in New Hampshire,their whole family shows up.Awesome
I watched this band a few years ago in my home city, Newcastle in UK. They were fantastic, always loved this band. However, the thing that stands out for me is that when they finished the three band members of the four went in to the crowd, and they were there for at least 15-20 minutes! Talking and shaking hands even though they risked possible injury! I have never ever seen that before. Huge respect to them. They obviously care genuinely for people who like their music!
A7X are that kind of band also. I watched Dream Theater Newcastle last night, and although they remained on the stage, they stayed for about 10 minutes and almost seemed reluctant to go off! These two bands are mega stars and musicians, but you just know that the fans aren’t just their meal ticket in their eyes, they care about the fans, and appreciate them totally.
Loved this video as a teenager. Love this song! Never gets old
Spring '91 me a young teenager in love this song worked 👍
Done by the Everly Brothers years ago. Beautiful song!!!
This was their 1 ballad they were called extreme because their music went from one extreme to another nuno bettencort is an incredible guitar player and this singer sang for Van Halen for one record after Sammy check out the song Kid ego or just about anything else by them
Lex is so adorable on this & Brad looks thoughtful. Two of my favs, plus Extreme!❣👍
1:35 one of the most beautiful falsetto's youll ever hear
Our wedding song 30 years ago... We still stop and dance to it wherever we're at...
The lead singer ( Gary Cherone ) was actually the singer in Van Halen after Sammy Hagar. The Album Van Halen III was actually very good, give the song " With out you " a reaction off of that album, you will enjoy it
The guitarist Nuno now plays for Rihanna. The lead singer Gary was Van Halen's 3rd singer
So many good songs from these guys:
Get the Funk Out
Decadence Dance
Hole Hearted
Rest in Peace
Walk the Dinosaur
Thank you for hitting them. Keep it up.
Yep, talk is cheap. To show me you love me, don't say anything...just reach out, take my hand, pull me close, and hold me like you never want to let me go...
I really love the way Brad listens to the music
B&L thank you both ....big love ❤
Very acoustic and simple song that is truly beautiful! thx for sharing Brad & Lex :)
Love this song!!!!! Awesome Reaction!!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Extreme- Rest In Peace
Some people said it was about sleeping together but the band denied it, whatever, as lex exclaimed, wooh beautiful!
Pls react also to white lion - you're all i need, till death do us part, broken heart etc. Thanks
This is how you harmonize👍🔥 1991-1993 was SPECIAL CRITICAL TIME FOR MUSIC!!! The grunge era not only produced bands like nirvana and Pearl Jam… but tons of other great bands came out that wasn’t grunge like EXTREME during that AMAZING TIME IN MUSIC HISTORY…. I was in 8th grade
You guys NEED to check out GET THE FUNK OUT by Extreme. Best guitar solo ever written and the whole track is funky as f. The solo will blow Lex' mind.
I saw these guys live back in the day and they played this song. They sounded just like you see on video. Just amazing! And FYI those two singers are brothers!
This is the most played song by Extreme, but they have many hits like "Cupids Dead" and "Get the funk out" Nuno Betancourt is one of the best guitarists out there. Gary Cherone is a great front man.
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Love these guys!!! Proud to say their from my home state!! 😁 Great Harmonies and Melodies!! 💜💯👍😁 Love Them!! 💞
Love this song so pretty and melo. Lex you probably heard the cover/spoof Jimmy Fallon and Jack Black did on it! If you guys haven't seen it you have to check it out!
This is my wife and my song. It was hugely popular when we were just two dumb high school kids in love. I even leaned how to play it for her back then. Always a good listen for me.
All the times I heard this song I had no idea who it was by. Great reaction guys 🙋🏻♀️👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼💜🇨🇦
Wow - I remember where I was, when I first heard this song, so many years ago. Hearing it still makes me smile. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.
