Extreme (Guitar Wars) - Get The Funk Out

[karmarocks2010]

my favorite Extreme song of all time ! I find myself saying this to people

[alfanovemberalfa]

NUNOOOOOO adoro!!!!!!demais:)

[JMRepaye1]

I'm in awe...........................­...........

[coltsuperocean10]

...hollie fuckin mollie that solo was fuckin brilliant!! Nuno is a great fuckin player, so brilliant!!

[KhidirD2K]

i was wondering who would hold that mic after that song.....if u look at 2:54

[newQns]

i love this song, but at 4:14 - 4:18 it seems like nuno doesnt play the riff ?!?!?!

[MadLip78]

@newQns This has been pointed out numerous times... talk about beating a dead horse. This concert was played over two nights. Some of the video from the first night was spliced with the audio of the second night and vice versa.

[NoReal100]

this is funking good songg!!!

[MrShagy101]

man i love the opening (guitar).its better than the orignal.

[hendrixfan121694]

Funny thing is Gary definately isnt gay seeing how he probably got more pussy that night than most people saying he's gay will in their lives. Lmao

[fukinguitar]

0:36 OH NO .. DON'T GO THERE SISTER !!

[permangumangu]

damn I think Nuno was doing better job with the singing than Gary :D

[viggo666666]

@permangumangu

Damn right..

[NathanRyanAllen]

hes not gay. Afterall, gay people aren't allowed to wear Led Zeppelin t-shirts

[LoveVanillaRose]

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

[Dutchpowder]

Nuno is all like: Well. I'm just chillin' it right here on my guitar... peace and stuff, comes Gary: Oh no He didn't?!?!

[coltsuperocean10]

Nuno is amongst the great rock players of the last 25 years!! Brilliant performance!!

[abckrazy]

Gary is either the gayest straight guy.. or the straightest gay guy.

[guitargup]

War's over,... I see Nuno's upside-down headstock through the smokey haze.......

[KeyOfStrife]

Nuno.Is.So.Fucking.Boss here, Damn!

[AbalJ]

LOL @4:12 check the drummer

[sftheme]

Great song. I used an instrumental version in my latest video.

[mariokris22]

Nuno is a complete package of guitarist and musician. He can sing a good vocal harmony, good arranger, fuckin' licks, and insane rhythm player

[Horbrus]

They thought they were the new Queen in the early '90s. Trouble was, nobody else did - but Pornograffitti stands up as a hell of an album.

[DennChooch]

Nuno is a better singer than Gary IMHO. Nuno Bettencourt is a fucking legend! It's awesome that they put him and Paul Gilbert together on this gig, I watched the DVD a couple of months ago, they're really a great guitar duo.

[sunnyjim98]

3:27 what the funk was that gary!?

[wildcatter63]

ROFl REALLY looks like Nuno was NOT expecting Gary to show up for the contest  lol

[SuperTK1996]

he's so fuckin' good! NUNO !!!!!

[isacchudson]

I like the fact they got Jack Black to play drums. Way to keep it current.

[bottazzo77]

4:06 - 4:09 is THE TOP !!!!

[workfishhunt]

Yeah, I can read lips. At 0:42 seconds Nuno says, "What the f*** was that?".

[ahahahahahahaaaaaaaa]

Nunno Bettercunt is GREAT!

[robby1969]

MMMHH, check 4:15 something is obviously going wrong, drummer didn't finish his break, guitar plays but Nuno isn't.

[patdzon]

@robby1969 Similar thing happens at around 1:00. You could hear Nuno's voice clearly but he isn't near a mic.

[axegas76]

@patdzon I was thinking the same thing, I was like...something is not right

[kingtrezable]

0:41 what the ffffffffffffuck was that

[bonfirejovi]

wow cherone is an ass

[MattyQStudios]

I think nuno literally didn't expect that xD

[DennChooch]

hey, the guy can keep up with paul gilbert, he's a good guitarist!

[QuantumStates]

Nuno is great, but George Lynch is the ultimate.

[Zubirrex]

@QuantumStates Uh, no, you got that backwards. Lynch is great, Nuno kills.

[junooni92]

I see Robert Anthony Plant on the stage ..

[XDrummerSteve]

Does anyone know who the drummer is on this...it looks like J.R. Robinson but I'm not sure.

[drbob2004]

Nuno is Numero Uno .....or is that Umero Nuno?? I just wish I could play like that.

[teefay69]

i seen guitar wars in the title, but all I'm seeing is a bunch of divas putting on an act....

[industrialkhaos]

Cool man

[Pepper2Jason]

My friend's dad once helped set up a stage rig for nuno's band once (might have been extreme) he said nuno was a real prick

he still shreds tho

[blutchguitar]

he nailed the solo totally completely, love it!!! top 5 solo of all time 

[TheTriton1973]

nuno is great both as a guitarist & a performer. We all the fans from Sabah, Malaysia really admire him. I wish i could see him live here in Malaysia some day.

[lowyaw]

watch 4:15 - 4:20

Nuno is walking towards the drumset, his right hand is off guitar body. At the same time you can hear him chugging away a riff. I love Nuno, but he was either hitting strings with his third arm, or the guitar track was re-recorded in the studio.

that's sad. doessn't being as great as nuno - and he IS great - mean playing good and honest stuff live?

[n3crophobic]

@lowyaw Look at the drummer just before that part.. I think the video gets out of sync there..

[lowyaw]

@n3crophobic

hmmm. you just may be on the right track here - the video can\'t be that much outta sync, BUT the director or whoever was editing the video could use some random bit of video there

[DanBSmith83]

@lowyaw Totally agree, also the backing vocals seem to coming from magical singers towards the end, and at 0:58 nuno magically changes mics singing into nothing for a couple of words but still comes through magically clear. HAVING SAID THAT, these guys have pulled this song off live for years, I just don't know why they didn't this time?

[lowyaw]

@DanBSmith83

i think they're a terrific band, they just went a little bit too far in their effort to make the performance look immaculate ;)

[MurphysLoveBand]

@DanBSmith83 This was recorded over two nights, so it's probably an editing mistake : )

[poprostudaniel]

@DanBSmith83 I think it is bassist singing! I had the same problem xd

[Zubirrex]

@DanBSmith83 It is live, but it's not the same performance. I'm sure they played this over multiple nights.

[MayaRaimondo]

@DanBSmith83 ... Some venues don't allow much for completely live performance or it wouldn't sound good, etc.. They MAY be performing with some recorded backing probably. Whatever reason they had at that time. But it's still an awesome performance, crowd enjoyed themselves, and Gary & Nuno don't have to prove themselves. The have already done that way too many times! ;)

[2coolsexa]

@lowyaw

wow, either the song isn't synched with the video or that is some shenanigans going on.

[coltsuperocean10]

The thing for me that separates Nuno from most rock guitarists is the fact that Nuno plays to please the fans, its from the heart, its about the music and NOT the ego!! They are other players with the same talent or even more talent, but I would rather see Nuno live then most other acts as at least he puts on a very entertaining fucking show from the heart!! He seems to love entertaining crowds and thats what its about!! All talent and NO ego!! Brilliant!

[DougDecastro1]

There is no doubt about it. Nuno is one of the best guitar players in rock/metal. PERIOD. Pornograffiti and 3sides are 2 of the best rock albums of all time. Totally underrated.

[WarmthEnxGuitar]

really good choice... Bravo

[AvatarOfGames]

i'm just sayin thats my shit right there

[YAZZ69er]

Gary looks like a fuckin faggot with all that dancing and shit, its rock n roll dude, bang ur head or sumthin, but hes famous, and im not so it doesnt matter what i say does it?

[andrewwills2008]

too bad it's playback sometimes....

[stevenzy]

BADASS!!!

[GATOSENSEI]

this is not a concert is a real Rock Show!!!!

[zoso4563]

this is so white.

[ssmcsurveyor]

excellence

[julieannlevine]

I always give my love to Nuno, but I have to say, Nuno and Gary make an awesome team. they are a band of brothers that blend well.

[thebuttafly22]

wow that made me jizz

[guapodenitas]

nuno excelent, gary fuck!!!!!

[bassmanbolo]

I agree with mrbig71014 about 'More than Words', kind a stood in their way of being more succesfull in the world.

This song should be played out loud çause of Nuno's play

[RobertBorden121]

Gary looks like Justin Guarini here.

[ohjtbehaaave]

Kick ass guitar solo.

[aderenzait]

the single best rock song!!!!

[skwisgaarandtoki69]

not bad for a puerto rican, red faced, chinese, mexican american, haha lol

[guitarisma3]

Dude could Cherone be any gayer in this video?

[jose044]

@guitarisma3 there's actually a video where he is singing with van halen dude... he is gayer

[shakeshaftthomas]

@guitarisma3 i bet he got shit loads of pussy for it though :P

[FreedomZealot]

@guitarisma3 "... could Cherone be any gayer in this video?"

Hmmm... yeah, he hits a few too many Richard Simmons beats in this performance, like that really, uh, *odd* move at around 2:53. Still a great singer, though.

[Drenius]

@guitarisma3

What does it change? He's amazing any way.

Say you hate Freedie Mercury because of that? That's just stupid if you do.

[guitarisma3]

@Drenius

No not at all. Gary is a great singer and performer, but you have to admit his moves in this vid are hilarious. Pretty reminiscent of Squier's "Rock Me Tonite" vid

[Drenius]

@guitarisma3

Yes. I pesonally think is ever funnier this style he give to the song.

This song always gave a 'fun time' feeling, and while he does his little jokes at the same time, makes this performance even more amazing.

[rodrigozamo]

@guitarisma3 not in this vid, but once I saw a vid of him singing jump when he was in van halen and it was much worse

[owlsrfun47]

@guitarisma3 Dude, he's always been like that

[MayaRaimondo]

@guitarisma3... ooh, you're so bad lol! i really wasn't sure what he was doing with that mic towards the end. but it's gary, and he's still awesome. ;)

[Jordandowie16]

@guitarisma3 He's not gay, it's just his "stage precence" or whatever you wanna call it, and his singing voice is influenced by freddie Mercury

[j3ft4]

@Jordandowie16 But still: in the video he acts like he's gay.. But why would that be an insult? :P

[Jordandowie16]

@j3ft4 It just seems like the other guy was using the word "Gay" in a homephobic way, who knows, maybe he wasnt :P

[smashingpumpkinsxD]

@guitarisma3 He could be sucking the mic and slapping his own ass, so yes, he sure could be any gayer in this video!

[Slipstream720]

nuno is my cousin :-D

[Phantorion]

i love this song... =D

nuno is one of the best .. he has his own unique style

[hipeas93]

i want a marshall now...just so i can get nuno's amazing tone!

[tomisnotold]

@hipeas93

I could be totally wrong, but I was under the impression Nuno used Hughes and Kettner amps?

[kakashihatake1321]

singer is a tool should have left it to nuno who is a god

[coltsuperocean10]

How fucking good was that?!! Thats brilliant! I tell you what, if you went out, to see a show, you would not be dissappointed if you went to see Extreme!!!

[bingoblu]

Gary voice...mmmmm

not a great singer I think

[iwasaiwass]

Gary Cherone is the shit.

[lerxt42]

awesome bloody song

[CircusOfTheStars1]

2:54 : Is that a microphone in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?

[pskibobby]

Gary seems drunk.

[WashburnN4Nuno]

There is no band ROCKING like Exreme. Go Gary and Nuno

[YAZZ69er]

gary cherone... dude u got pipes but god damn u look like such a fag in this

[markmc13]

4:16 .......Is it just me or is nuno riffing while scratching his ass?.... pre-recorded!?!?

[BirdIsTheWord89]

Good call!! Maybe an off stage guitarist playing or it could be, like you said, pre-recorded.

[FenixAuriga]

have you considerd hammer-on's?

[alexreality]

obviously it's pre-recorded. too many vocals on the back when mics are tured away into the audience and nuno couldn't have done this on 4:16 - it's impossible to do muted strokes with a left hand :)

[w610iswitch]

This is recorded over many nights : ) So they've used the sound from one night and the video from some others. Thats why it seems fake : )

[kakashihatake1321]

@alexreality vid goes out of sync which could be it not sure though

[H057IL3]

@markmc13

Haha! That's funking weird!

[Matiashs]

It could be recorded over two days or something like that.

[MadLip78]

You hit the nail on the head :)

[MadLip78]

My God. For the billionth time. This track was recorded over 2 performances. So they play the track from one night (video) while playing the track from another (audio). Sigh. Not everything is going to match up. Buy the DVD. I'm out

[Drenius]

@markmc13

He's tapping man, he plays with his mind. haha

[VasiaFromRussia]

@markmc13

no. it's edited version. same thing with chorus vocals

[3LD1abl00]

@markmc13 no, nunos doing chord stabs.

[crazydragon9114]

lol at 1:24 - 1:32, i love this song, rock on EXTREME!

[richshillitoe]

People are just jealous as they wish they could dance like that, repressed sexual tension from the biggots me feel!

[wrj16]

@sampdoriano88 ma sparati!!! devi ringraziare il rock se hai il tuo genere!!!!

lo so che non lo sai ma con il the alan parsons project si è anticipata la musica elettronica grazie appunto ad alan parsons che era un tecnico del suono... non puoi offendere il rock se parte tutto da lì!!!

ignorante!!

[VooDooBuddhaHead]

Nuno Bettencourt one of the most underrated guitarist/musician ever! He's way better than Eddie Van Halen and George Lynch put together!

[coltsuperocean10]

@VooDooBuddhaHead Amen brother!! Nino has the skills and the feel, but he has a touch of fun too!! The good thing is he is brilliant, but he is not up his own arse like some players "Malmsteen, Bateo" spring to mind!! hahahaha

[blacksabbathgnr098]

@VooDooBuddhaHead I wouldn't go that far. they are all amazing guitarists with their own styles. Saying one is better than the other is like saying Red is better than Blue.

[claudiodifazio14]

@VooDooBuddhaHead Maybe better than Lynch but eddie is eddie nobody can compete with him!!!

[sjk254]

@VooDooBuddhaHead Once you get to that level of playing there is no "better", just different. All of those guys are great players.

[hardestbuttontobutto]

@VooDooBuddhaHead hes very good, but LYNCH and VAN HALEN together? i think you exaggerate... but there is no doubt that he is one of the best ever stands between/over lynch/halen but not over both man!

[guitar908]

@VooDooBuddhaHead yes and no! correct and incorrect! (in my opinion) if you listen to some of his songs carefully you can see a bit of van halen influence but nuno is a heavier version. George Lynch is also an amazing guitarist you cant deny that but altogether i do prefer nuno as well but you cant say hes better than van halen and george lynch put together thats just wrong

[mervycowan]

@VooDooBuddhaHead he's a bit of a dick though

[259paddy259]

@VooDooBuddhaHead Ain't no one underrating him here, Bro!

[Bassistterjago]

it's Cool man...!!!!!!!

[00Betty00]

Are you guys insane!!

Gary is a grat frontman! Period, and recently he has been singing a whole lot better then he used to in extreeme's "hayday". Also, More then words is a great+beautiful song that got overplayed to hell and back. The only thing I don't like here is the anemic fake horns rfom the keyboard, you guys should;ve seen Extreeme play with the heavy metal horns around Boston! WOW!

[Strangeguitar]

I hated this song (except for Nuno's solo) when this came out, but this version fucking KILLS!

[YAZZ69er]

no offense but garys gta chill with tht gay ass dancing,, llike its one thing to be into it, but tht just loox gay

[COPROENCEFALICO]

Bill Bruford's/Feels good to me - "Belzebub" theme- at  2:41 :-)

[25taylor91]

Singer is still stuck in the 80's

And so is his voice

[cavlovc1]

Gary is homo erotic.

[jimamimas]

Gary is such a fruit loop now

[mrbig71014]

I hate that lots of people only know Extreme because of "More than Words". Great song, yeah, but Extreme is a rock band. A fucking awesome rock band. They have better songs to be known for

[holaadios12345]

more than words sux

[MrXorHomer]

@mrbig71014 Actually they're funk metal.

[Groovy26407]

@mrbig71014 i ts like the mr big case with "to be with you":P

[ggrego]

I'v got gay friends who are striater then gary cherone!

[mrbig71014]

but i bet they can't sing like Gary Cherone...

[RS358]

i can actually see where ur comin from

[icyfire011]

love the bass

[stratholme]

louder the guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[musichopper]

AWESOME FUCKIN JOKE INTRO! One of my fav songs ever too. lots of fun to play

[Nappygirl67]

I don't care what anyone says, when I first saw this video it gave me hope that there was more Extreme to come and I Love it! If anyone doubts the abilities of this band, check out Saudades de Rock. My 7 year old even knows these guys are the real deal! Welcome back Extreme!

[PanKrtcha]

I'm afraid you're right. I hear it in singing

[MadLip78]

And obviously you're stupid :-) If you took the time to check the posts, this was taken over 2 nights of recording. The producers sometimes took the sound from one night and stuck it with the performance of another. I had fun making you look like an ass. I suggest you order the DVD.

[hovadopekelne]

... :-) which means i am right. And of course it is not studio record behind, that is obvious ... Nuno is great player. heavyrock-funky machine. His right hand gave me some ideas with my practising. And he also surprised me as a composer on his solo albums. I love his "Schizophonic" ...

[guitarsimon1]

haha, gary is such a joker

[MadLip78]

Peeps, 2 different shows shoved into 1. That's why it seems funny :)

[SuperBigtones]

magic.

[bamontocurry]

Mr.Nuno is awesome!!

[mrbig71014]

they rerecorded that part, or maybe they put in there the audio of the other live concert. but anyway, Nuno isn't less player because of that tiny thing everybody's talking about

[Iommifan91]

Man, Gary Cherone's voice is way different now.

[hippofight]

Yeah! It's like he's got some phlegm or something. Rougher. Right when I was thinking the same thing, I read your post.

[ermonski]

I think there is another guitar player aside from nuno

[KaptainDavid]

its no playback!!! The part you mean is played by the bassguitar!!!

[down2bizniz]

look at 4:17 when Nuno scratches his back and the riff is still playing on. how do you explain that? :)

[zkhrats]

it is a well known fact that nuno is a guitar ninja he was simply playing with his brain at that point using ninja telekinesis :)

[MadLip78]

JESUS CHRIST! Read the posts please! This was taken over 2 nights of recording. So you might hear the track from the first night when the playing is going on from the second night. Never has never faked anything as much as you are trying to infer. Hit me up for some more education.

[texymex123]

true

but when he gets kicked he does mess up the riff

[ardnega]

that bit could just be done with hammer-ons and pull-offs. like zkhrats mention nuno is a guitar ninja. lol.

[DaCanary]

Its called a Hammer on/ Pull offs.

Where you don't need to Strum the note for it to still play, specially for a riff like that.

Anyone who knows guitar Will tell you the same thing Dumb-ass.

[tylerg24716]

hammer ons and pull offs

[Botamis]

He's supposed to palm mute that part but it's kinda hard without a palm touching the strings :) good find

[MadLip78]

Please delve into all the posts. This was taken over 2 nights of playing. So you'll see one night of playing that doesn't match up to the other night. Everything is legit. The vid editors spliced it all together. I can't believe people try and discredit Nuno when he graced guitar mags back in the day.

[TheRandomSandwich]

THE BASSIST IS PLAYING TOO!!!!
