Extreme - Love of my life (Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert)

[lizzie8546]

hehe :D this should be joke :P

[pgPaich]

Nuno rules ! isn't he amazing ?!

[Mr47365]

Nuno Bettencourt eres grande t amoooooo <3

[humbertojimmy]

Not that great of a cover, but what the hell... I'm here just for Nuno :)

[loombaron]

is it me or he is singing out of tune? 0:59 that is completely out of tune.

[9tome6]

@loombaron He's struggling to reach some notes, this isn't his usual singing voice

[loombaron]

then they should have picked a differet song, this is embarrasing XD.

[tejasunday]

Freddy's watching 1:26

[Mr47365]

nuno hermoso esta y hermoso toca

[TheDiogosilva11]

Nuno Bettencourt , único, só ele para nos proporcionar esta homenagem ao grande Freddie.

[Adirondaque]

Awful. Go burn in a fire.

[Toolshed76]

Very hard song to sing...props to Gary for even attempting it...Nuno, perfect as usual.

[TheMaster983]

One of the worst covers ever because he's voice ( really shame) was horrible.............Nuno amazing (as usually),,,all ive got to say

[danielaargentina1]

noooooooooooooo!!!!!!

[fico0102]

1.26



[joderjodas]

kill him! please!

[Thealextroify]

@joderjodas Kill yourself

[rubenlink]

Nuno portugues pride

[thrashredder]

Freddy was unique, no one can sing like him, but Gary Cherone did a great job ! no needs to mention how good Nuno is ...

[charm57]

somehow Gary gave a justifiable rendition! and of course Nuno! simply amazing!

[MsAnny9]

he sing horrible!!!

[Ibeenez]

Nuno's guitar is certainly not at fault! He is an insane guitarist.

[angel30184]

Душевно.

[darthgabriel97]

My god, wish i was born in the 60's/70's so i could go and see Queen live.. Even though i wasn't alive when Queen was still together Freddie will always be the biggest part of my heart <3

[agusnapoli]

this guy sud not sing

[agusnapoli]

sucks

[tontobones]

When freddy started out he was not a good singer

[ScottNicholasSimpson]

Absolutely moving... Perfect. One of the best interpretations I've heard!

[388scr]

fred sem duvida o melhor,ate hoje em todos os videos q vi, de cantores famosos tentando interpretar sua performance e essa musica,nenhum conseguiu,pq essa ai e so o fred mesmo e mais ninguem,,essa musia e a melhor.....

[winnetouch]

I love it ewhen they sing duet. It's a shame that Queen never did that live. Freddie and Brian would kill. It makes the song fuller and ads a little more to the vocals.

[mangganese]

even gary cant take the note how freddy sing ,,just respect him this is tribute not comparison to the singer freddy we miss u R.I.P

[belindaumali]

They are not Queen.....no comparison please....all i know is i love their perfomance....they are great performers in their own right......guitar playing is excellent!!!

[andresihotang]

Don't forget that Extreme creates another lovely ballad "More than Words" which is also popular all over the world.

I think they should just lower the key so Gary could handle it perfectly.. Still a good performance.

[roee8100]

the man dont know how to sing!!

[missisfreddiemercury]

I did not know they sang it at this concert, I have to get this on DVD

[Sonya680]

@missisfreddiemercury I bought the DVD for the same reason but,Extreme's performance was cut out from it.

[1Lukather]

great song it makes me feel good!!



[ScienceWars]

LaRD

[Aerokings]

Gary's voice was tired but overall it was a great tribute to the one and only Freddie Mercury.R.I.P.

[Anunaki2011]

Respeto a todos los artistas que rindieron homenaje a Mercury, lo hicieron practicando las letras y canciones dos días antes. Lo hicieron con su alma y su cariño, solo gracias. No critiquen la perfomance, son solo estar ahi fue mágico.

[MadokaCatty]

THIS SONG FUCKING SO BEAUTIFUL !!

[nyhuseriksen]

very good cover number 20 thums up, evan thogh he is having a voice problem.

[codebabe]

his voice is shot. sucks, cause if anyone can pull off freddie Gary can.

[9danielos5]

That doesn't sound good, they should let sing this song to George Michael.

[CaptainAndrewWiggins]

hearing other singers just makes me realise what an accomplished vocalist freddie really was.

[jemmaable]

a tribute with respect for a fellow artist--done with feeling

[allcatslover]

it's hard to sing freddie, isn't it?

[javi9281]

Gary Cherone esta bastante desafinado, creo q debió ajustar el tono del tema, creo que por eso esta parte de la actuación de extreme no esta incluida en varias versiones del DVD y VHS de la época, por su parte Nuno Bettencourt estuvo genial... Esto demuestra que no es fácil llenar los zapatos de Freddie Mercury... Queen Rules!

[MacielGabriel]

Essa música é simplesmente PERFEITA

[loloijunrey]

well all i can say is.. i love this performance. even though its not the original band anymore sang this song. but extreme are making the best for this tribute, they are pro on what they do they idolize also the queen they are friends..

[calle68]

He's out of tune. Period.

[odgonzalez88]

@calle68 vos estas fuera de tono pancho/a !!!

[calle68]

@odgonzalez88 Ah ah, sometimes ... ok, ok ... But, you shall admit that this was one of the worst performances of this marvellous concert, in my opninion. Fortunately, Bruno started to sing and Cherone followed him.

[odgonzalez88]

@calle68 si si en eso tenes razon de este concierto fue de las actuaciones mas flojas sin embargo en mi opinion personal este tema me gusto pila, no es facil tributar a freddy... un saludo desde uruguay para ti

[calle68]

@odgonzalez88 Un saluto anche a te dall'italia!

[ellihermandur]

@calle68 eat shit faggot. start to listen to real music and stop listen to J beiber and techno

[calle68]

@ellihermandur Ah ah .... I like techno, but I should listen to Justin. Just because I'm a faggot. Ah ah.

[ellihermandur]

@calle68 lol

[jimpaynephotography]

these retards suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[codebabe]

@jimpaynephotography They're a great band. His voice is shot. And the guitarist is one of the worlds BEST EVER. I dare to go look up any video of Nuno Bettencourt and not get blown away.

[gahloot]

Its not that hard of a song to sing! He was to emotional at the start,and obviously can't hear himself in the monitor!He sounded much better when they both chimed in!

[Abisso666]

Singer is flat all the time and struggles to deliver the higher notes. Difficult song, of course, but not a good performance.

[Tacomadome24]

What a pretty song.

[77vanquisher]

Nuno Bettencourt arrasa na introdução e toca muito... mas o vocalista não consegue alcançar as notas e desafina, mas msm assim é uma grande performance.

FREDDY MERCURY THE BEST EVER.

[bottazzo77]

NUNO IS THE BEST ROCK GUITAR PLAYER ALIVE

[octavius1augustus]

@bottazzo77 I don't know about that, but he was the best looking one

[kentquiambao]

i'ts really a hard song to sing indeed. Gary struggling to sing it.

[dejffjed]

I can't help it, but at certain moments he isn't hitting notes properly... O:57, then 0:59...

[adrianscally]

@dejffjed Some of the 80,000 people singing along didn't hit the notes either.

[mik92uk]

No doubts, it was the highlight of the show for me. I thought Extreme were superb. Thank you guys.

[petitcheznous]

so tacky

[carlitothelibertine]

THANKS FREDDIE...JUST THAT

[69Wooshy69]

NUNO BETTENCOURT , the savior of portuguese musicians .

[gomesjs]

@69Wooshy69 we have others pretty good portuguese musicians...

[69Wooshy69]

@gomesjs Rui Veloso , André Indiana and Nuno Bettencourt , are the best ones .

[TheTomasUrquieta]

4:00 Just... Make me cry ;)

[dominik2609]

Freddie Freddie Freddie Freddie, I think Freddie heard this....

[hatuloso]

Pois eh Wappa a minha critica nao foi referida ao Bruno eu tmb sou Musico e guitarrista e sei muito bem da capacidade e do Talento do Bruno Porem o Cara que cantava com ele desafinou a musica Love of my Life inteira e pelo fato que nao eh uma banda e somente dois fica muito na cara do gol A Merda ! Coitado do Bruno!

eh um cara que eu tenho muita admiracao! pelo geito de tocar !

[hatuloso]

Porra o Nuno Manda Bem no Violao! nao deixa nada a desejar ao Braian Mayss

Mais o Parceiro ta Foda Desafinando e fora do picht da musica eh uma Pena porque Fred Mercury deve estar com dores no tumulo!

[wappa2]

@hatuloso O Nuno é um dos melhores guitarristas de sempre. Um génio. Infelizmente só apanhou "babacas", como vocês dizem aí no Brasil, a tocar com ele.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Good-enough cover, Cherone was a bit off during some points but the performance came from his heart and he sounded awesome during some points.

[burnie85561980]

Please see him ace Hammer to Fall later that day. Before giving you're opinion.

[jminarovic]

1:00 can't you seeee - i was like AAAAAAAAA... smtms he's really off! i mean, i like extreme, but i also like good music and FM, and yea, maybe i dont have the balls to play it in front of 72,000 people, but it's because i'm able of some self-criticism

[4evershalom]

It's not that the key is so high, they're right where they need to be For GC's range. It's a matter of the vocals being worn out from all the rock, then trying to slow down for a ballad. As a singer, I know from experience it can be challenging. It wasn't perfect, but he did a great job, regardless.

[wilalb1]

1:28 ? WTF

[JOCKEYSI3OLLIX]

They have some great moments in that song.

Some bits where a little off but I thought they did a great version of my favouite Live Queen song. Well Done.

[leovienne0607]

Pause at 1:29.... I Thought it is Freddy Mercury!!! 

[8Enki]

when I watch the concert in that time,and i heard Cherone sing in this way..my God,poor guy!

[semanray]

beautiful,but they could have lowered the song´s key a bit

[rickou2]

Poor Gary, he was really in troubles for that one !

[mikegee2002]

Flat flat flat. !! How to take a wonderful song and destroy it in so many ways.

[Duriense]

PORTUGAL !!! :)

[abelccs]

nuno is great, love the way he played it and did all the vocals harmonies just like the studio version, its very diferent from what queen used to do live but great job, and even when gary  does not have the best voice to sing this song he did it with a lot of passion and made it great and thats all that mathers

[Spuipoep123]

His Spirit Was on that concert

He thinks: all that for me thats how youre have a rock Ending

[raferalstoncruz]

one of my fave videos of all time!!! classic song!!

[SPeacock]

19 years ago today (20 April)... :)

[Aec1127able]

@SPeacock Yeah April 20th the 20th anniversary!!!

[flaviosouto1]

Nuno's performance is better than original....

[BALGABDZEU6]

canta muy bien, en especial esta cancion me gusta su tono, no crei q cante muy bien

[HighlanderWE]

Nuno is fu"#%& amazing !! Great performance !

[puccapinguina]

gosh, one of my favourite songs from queen, and they changed it entirely. I just like the at the high notes "when i grow oldeeer" ,mmm. it must be a hard song, it wasn't that bad, but certainly not great either

[steft85]

gary hai distrutto una delle canzoni più struggenti di freddie....completamente stonato!! ......rispetto per nuno!

[fiux83]

ma stona a bestia!

[IIIIILizIIIII]

Oophf! Used to love Extreme back in the day, but DAYUM, this is just pitchy beyond belief.

[ANKITTHEOG]

i saw freddie mercury at 1:28 secs .. :S

[dshai91]

@ANKITTHEOG me too!

[muc599]

geil, aber an Freddy kommt er nicht ran ;)

[1q33]

i just out of prison.queen is my favourite band and this is my favourite song.but who this guitarist?fucking awesome!!he make this song more n more beautiful!!2.39-3.39 love it!!

[kankanlovers3]

im sorry man its out of key...but hey at least he tried to sing this song....you have no idea how hard it is to sing love of my life...

[EmrysOfBijou]

lol, lots of fighting here. This is a song written for Freddies voice and and if you watch the whole concert not many get close (funnily enough only George Michael and 1 of Axl's). Extreme put thier own spin on it and its good, the band are perfect but how many straight men can hit freddies notes?

And how many people would even try this song? Get this on pop i wanna be an idol rock star next year and watch every man die and the women start sounding husky afterwards.

[edmatper]

I'm impressed as always by Nuno's playing. It's respectful of the original version (even closer to the record NATO than the live version) and he even brings something original. Gary seems very moved and sings out of tune for a couple of seconds. But I don't give a fuck about it. Extreme was and still is one of the greatest rock band of all time (with Queen and Led Zeppelin).

[Zebonka]

1:27

They should've given the mic to that guy. He couldn't be worse than the berk on stage.

[Vasqjav]

A very exceptional interpretation! Gary´s voice is amazing but i still prefer mercury´s one.. it was something from another world! Nuno is a great guitar player but anyway, can´t be in the same place where May is.. Great song, great musicians!

[flaviosouto1]

Nuno's performance is better than original...

[gercor83]

i think this,snoopy singing love of my life is better ...

[lbourgeot]

Ouch the voice is completely out of the Key....

[omancamo]

es muy bueno pero solo una persona en el mundo lo hacia como con todo el hp corazon

[amykid92]

1:24 FREDDIE !!!!

[cimore000]

@boligrafoparlante901 youre the fucking clown

[jasamcar5]

Ok, this was rather bad

[ESB1138]

I think Extreme did a better version of ths with the guitar than May.

[wildcatter63]

trying to hold gary to Freddies level of vocals would be like trying to hold Brian May to Nuno's level of guitar...just ain't gonna happen....

[iggirocks]

@wildcatter63 bad comparison. Brian May's untouchable. Don't get me wrong, Nuno's great. But when you look at their bodies of work, Brian May stands head and shoulders above him. Just my opinion

[alevanf]

@iggirocks there are comparisons that never should be made, nuno bettencourt has a lot of Bryan May in his style when he does down beat songs, and in my opinion is better and extreme versions are better than queen's because nuno has more technique and gary has a lot more of vocal range and power, but, I always tend to think that Bryan May is untouchable, all rock n roll guitar players that want to make an expressive solo have to use his teachings, and freddy had that magic voice that is unique!!

[farrugidude]

@iggirocks Totally disagree, bodies of work Queen where more successful than Extreme, without a doubt therefore May will be more recognised.

Is May better than Nuno, I dont think so, never heard May play a guitar the way Nuno does on Midnight Express, or Flight Of The Wounded Bumblebee.

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

@farrugidude No? Well, check out " Bijou", " Driven by you" " Brighton Rock" " Jesus" " Killer Queen" " I want it all" " It´s late" , just a few...

[genesisrockstar]

did nirvana have a tribute too in freddie mercury's tribute concert??

[hcnvd]

@genesisrockstar no.

[Romchikthelemon]

@genesisrockstar, no

[PaulNgang]

freddie is ALIVE! see 1.28....

[heavenhelp1982]

for all the stupid bastards slating Gary and Nuno here, it is not a damn competition...it was a heartfelt tribute to Freddie Mercury! the whole world and Gary himself know that he couldn't possibly match Freddie's vocals, he's just trying his best...Nuno played his part superbly and chucked in some great improvs...like someone else said, at least these two had the balls to go out there and attempt this song in front of 72,000 Queen fans

[razump]

Garbage

[MrDugnuts]

he's singing out of key 

[DevilSAMP]

1:27 OMG! Freddie is alive @_@

[plutao]

Daltrey and Iomi do better i Want it all than extrem do Love Of My Life, Nuno Bettencourt is a fine guittarist but here was a flop

[hotbitch624]

@plutao ur crazy!

[plutao]

@hotbitch624 maybe

[ledoyaltafirol]

Rre desafinadoooooooo :|

[jhonatan0292]

@ledoyaltafirol pues quien no se caga cantando enfrente de 72.000 personas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[216unnat]

Don't forget the proponents.... Woodstock 

[stgibson2810]

Yeah anyone that doesn't like this video think about this...out of ROBERT PLANT, AXL ROSE, GEORGE MICHAEL and ELTON JOHN...who had the balls to even attempt Love of My Life in front of 72,000 people? Gary is a good singer. Nuno is a fucking genius and when asked in an interview what instrument(s) he couldn't play; he paused for a couple seconds and then finally came up with the accordion. Freddie is the best, hands down, and I LOVE Brian. However, when someone says Nuno sucks I have a challenge

[sinkjett]

@stgibson2810 tienes toda la razon amigo. I second that

[Gemah954]

@stgibson2810 you think axl rose doesnt have the balls well wash your fucking mouth out you chat shit

[therockeighty4]

wow, freddie was such a great great singer! in this comparison! But great they sang it !!!

[auficrazy]

Bryan May And Freddie Played Better... But I Like This Version!

[BF2142Fitgh]

Nuno bettencourt is fcking good.

[Rudziutkam]

Yes, you're right.

Take care

[Rudziutkam]

This song is Brian's, Freddie performed it but it wasn't his.

Anyway...

QUEEN ROCKS FOREVER!!!

[einarabelc5]

@Rudziutkam As far as I know lyrics were from Freddie to his former wife who stood by him until his death.

[curiousme1111]

@Rudziutkam freddie wrote this song ,brian arranged it for the guitar

[jdakjr]

@Rudziutkam Freddie wrote it. Look at the credits on the cd.

[4APJourney]

Oh sheesh. It didn't sound so bad when I watched the actual show but now I realize how badly he sounds.

[locura619]

1:28 FREDDIE, YOU ARE ALIVE!!

[Iamdragonman]

Cherone just has'nt got the power in his voice, but Nuno certainly did it justice on the strings.

[LucasAdvance]

how many people had this show?

[SuperKekec14]

@LucasAdvance 72,000 tickets has been sale out

[BrianMay92]

@SuperKekec14 In only four hours :-)

[SuperKekec14]

@BrianMay92 oh yes...i forgot to say that....queen rocks !!! : )

[LucasAdvance]

how many people had this show

[martinThorn74]

1/4 wyżej Sir...:)

[Florymanu]

horrible.... only FREDDIE could do it

[IvanMtl]

Great guitar playing. He literally reproduces the piano version from the studio album, NIGHT AT THE OPERA as opposed to doing Brian's live version. The singing, however... well, let's just say that Gary Cherone's heart is in the right place... even if his voice isn't (totally off-key and flat at times).

[endranesta]

I disagree to say that this is bad performance. I love QUEEN, but i do think Extreme did pretty well both in terms of vocal and guitar. Gary Cherone is a good vocalist, Van Halen took him to replace Sammy Hagar says it all. Although it was a failure for Van Halen, still it wasn't Gary's fault.. And Nuno is a great guitar player who also has good voice. You guys are just so subjective to Queen. So you can not like this.

[sisterbrothers]

@endranesta WELL SAID!

[tye2teb]

NO ONE can sing this like freddy mercury does. and NO ONE can play this like brian may can

[tye2teb]

NO ONE can sing this like freddy mercury does!!!

[bizcatch]

This guy's going to kill me (Nuno .B) love, love, love

And their performance in this song is amazing (just like every other song they perform)

You Rock!

[violonista20]

oh god...that might have been a equipment problem..but this is bad man..really bad...tuneless

[CYBERDUDE95]

why is this and the metallica part not on my DVD?
