Extreme - Comfortably Dumb

[TheMilitantCritic]

this lead singer is off

[andrewragford89]

cherone wrote it with alex and eddie van halen.

[ziggystuffedcrust]

Reminds me of Van Halen's Mean Street...

[gmanhell94]

@ziggystuffedcrust It is a van halen song.

[ziggystuffedcrust]

@gmanhell94 I know this song came out of the unreleased follow up to Van Halen's III, wasn't sure if it had been sort of rewritten for this. Out of curiosity, on Extreme's record, is it credited to Cherone/EVH/AVH?

[bueyifacation]

LeonSadico 3 sides to every story is true genious as well

[evelskunny]

really the next best thing to halen & hagar,sounds just like it always did

[tphilp74]

I knew this song sounded familiar! I love Extreme and have listened to them since Pornografitti. I love these guys, they are one of the most underated bands from the 90s.

But if you listen carefully, the ending from 3:51 on is the same as God Took A Picture Of Me. Another killer work by Nuno with his collaboration with Suze DeMarchi.

Also if he does ever read this, my daughter Cece says hi!

[marotonico]

Nuno always create the right stuff

[Radz117]

Trying to work out what this song means...

[Queen7185]

Rock....Rock...and a little bit more rock, this is quality, nothing compared there 'Pornografiitti' days, but this is fresh and in your face and thats what Gary, Nuno, Pat and K Fig are all about !

[theladiesmanou812]

2 people are comf.....ah, do I have to say it?

[issofunky]

one of their best songs.....the changeups / beat turnovers in the bridge is just awesome.

[bottazzo77]

WHAT A FUCKING GREAT GUITAR TUNE

[buzzsawlespaul]

recipe for great band.....just add nuno \m/

[TheSupersabby]

@buzzsawlespaul nah he needs gary, nuno has had a couple of bands that werent that great and, gary needs nuno and nuno needs gary

[buzzsawlespaul]

@TheSupersabby no really he doesnt.. gary might need nuno but nuno needs no one...schizophonic pretty much all him...not saying they dont sound good together though....

[TheSupersabby]

@buzzsawlespaul oh yes he does thats why none of nunos bands took off as good as extreme did

[buzzsawlespaul]

@TheSupersabby they never really took off, two singles there mostly known by....they probly dont even like playin...they was underated, still are....same with nunos stuff its underated...its good

[TheSupersabby]

@buzzsawlespaul are u kidding me why do u think they got back together, because they like playing for their fans, and they wouldnt have gotten as big as they did because they need eachother, just like eddie needs dave sure sammie is good but he is no dave, page needs plant and plant needs page, kip needs reb and reb needs kip 

[buzzsawlespaul]

@TheSupersabby im not knockin em..im glad there back together...but nuno can do his own thing and be just as good...if not he would have had one album and flopped....

[stateofmoron]

this is the only song in the whole album which dosent fuching such, they have realy fucked up on this one, anybody who loved ther ORIGINAL songs will agree!

[TheSupersabby]

@stateofmoron i love both if ur a fan of extreme u would like this album

[frebetta]

The scratch track was made while Cherone was in Van Halen

great track actually. Became my favorite before I found out about the origin..

[maxedout44]

does this have any relations with pink floyd comfortablly numb?

[AxelNight13]

kick as riff

[pgPaich]

it's like old Extreme..... awesome !

[rejdecosta]

Awesome.

[maritree]

i cant get over how good this band is and more so why the fk i have never known about them :S what a fkhead :D i knew that more than words song and never liked it so didnt bother until today i was smacked in the face with one insane song after another :D loving it

[PeteGoesWild]

Comfortably Numb is Dumb! :D

[BarefootRadio]

I went on to prefer Nuno's voice and singing style in his own music. Not sure I am gonna pick up this album. I've outgrown this band. I'd still consider a 'nuno' release.

[JamesBBallplaya]

Their old albums are so much better....

[tillyrocktacular]

@JamesBBallplaya ...come on guy listen to the shit today the harmony and the funk and rythmn

[JamesBBallplaya]

@tillyrocktacular i do, old stuff just takes so much more talent, to actually learn how to play guitar, don't get me wrong i like some new bands but im very limited in my selection of modern rock

[thisischavez]

Underrated band. Nuno is outstanding on vocals (guitarwork is obvious) and Gary is one of the best singers of the past 25 years. I don't care what anyone says. They groove on every song.

[sixthhands]

for all the Extreme Fanatics, peace 4 ya ol!!! ...

[gf7]

Sounds too much like Sammy Hagar for me !

[wvhlbly]

i agree with you Robson

[MrMooooole]

Gary's voice has actually stayed amazing =P more than can be said for other singers from the 80s... *cough* Hetfield *cough*...

[fortheloveoftunes]

This sounds a bit like "Audioslave" good stuff!

[extremezorro]

This song remind me one of the song from" waiting for the punchline" album....

[funkypratt]

I know which one you are thinking of... it's CYNICAL. Both have great, gritty grooves! Please keep laying these type of tracks down Nuno!

[stedav]

very rchp sounding

[PierreRHCPfan06]

Yeah, but that would sound more like Dave Navarro's style than John Frusciante's :) Personally, I like both of these two styles... And technically speaking, I think neither John or Dave is better than Nuno Bettencourt, even all of these three guitar players are my fav.

[PierreRHCPfan06]

nor *

[burnmetodeath]

'Extreme' as in 'More Than Words' 'Extreme'?

[LeonSadico]

Yep, the same band. Check the album "Pornograffiti", one of the best rock albums of all times.

[Fendershred50]

@LeonSadico And Three Sides to Every Story :D

[Samm11v]

@LeonSadico dopest album... the freshest licks... the hardest riffs... if u wanna hear a guy pwn a guitar thats the album to scope!

[Fendershred50]

@LeonSadico I just bought it last week! And III Sides too :D

[marotonico]

@LeonSadico agree, absolutley

[bueyifacation]

@LeonSadico 3 sides to every story is true genious as well

[fanculoate]

this song is fuckin' amazing! I think has the coolest riff of the entire album...although is a very good album

[TheRealityofFake]

not if u havent heard pink floyds song

[rch456789]

love their music!

[HerrFischauge]

awesome +++++

it's in Eflat, damit :D

gotta tune down my guitar

[h1ckfil]

Sounds like Nazareth's "Changin' Times!"

[deliriouscouture]

this song is fucking awesome.

[OkieMerrod83]

this was a pretty awesome song

[Simon0]

they took pink floyds song "comfortably numb" and changed it to "comfortably dumb".

[jba1234567890]

duh...

[Simon0]

huh?

[spalding0055]

really¿? errrrrrr your a fucking faggot

[lvl99ultrathug]

Yeah dude, you really showed him. How old are you? 12?

[rspaccount]

we got the master of the obvious

[ayyhellothere]

thank you captain obvious

[Simon0]

i've had like 4 or so mails all insinuating the same thing, i.e. i made a very obvious point. I get the message! i dont need any more messages telling me that its obvious..

[lvl99ultrathug]

You know, you have the option of deleting your own comments now.

[Simon0]

eh ill just leave it! if i delete it everyone will wonder what the comment was when they see the replies!

[MrPotatoTrooper]

that was a pretty obvious comment you made

i think most people would get that they changed the one letter of comfortably Numb to make it comfortably Dumb

[Simon0]

you kidder. I should expect that from a potato trooper.

[ozzyscrazytrain]

this stuff fukin rocks i wasent convinced by there old stuff in that way i mean all of it but this albums sweet

time to book tickets

[lvl99ultrathug]

Awesome! Be sure to let out a loud "YEE-HAW!" and break a bottle on somebody's head when they start playing Take Us Alive! jk

[tommyhyde]

This song grooves!

[fade2black3]

This song is awesome and proves Extreme still rock.
