Extreme Hip Today 1995

[vanhalen515084]

nuno is definitely one of the best rock players of all time, what a musician, this band is one of the best live bands ever, the backup singer is just incredible, pat and nuno are probably better singers than gary, and they are always on, i think this band lives a healthy life style, that is why they are so consistant

[YearraeY]

one of the greatest songs ever by Extreme.

especially the final part when the bass takes a darker vibe.

[centrocampista]

3:12-3:17: Gary Cherone's doing the zombie walk. What kind of an elastic body does he have, phew!

[bottazzo77]

they fucking RULEZ HERE..THEY WERE going a bit ahead of their time.. and that's when they split, in a time when they were still so creative.. sucks.. their new stuff is good though, NUNO STILL NAILS IT, too bad they lost mangini.

[earnest888]

EXTREME WOULD DEFINITELY BE HIP TODAY!!!

[SamMerrell1]

is Mike Mangini on drums for this?

[SergeyRocks]

@SamMerrell1 Yes, he was Extereme's drummer in 95-96, but then the band break-up

[Shredsomemore]

The irony.

[cpamiseso]

they really gone after this album, tho by a year, not in a day... too bad...

[leon6777]

the campest dancer outside of ballet.

[lllburgundylll]

It's not Extreme without Nuno.

[Thatoneguyfromwalmar]

@lllburgundylll Lol that is Nuno. He just dyed his hair blonde and got a lil face fuzz.

[devosuck]

all i remember is this performance put me onto extreme as a great talented rockin funky band. This was a mind fuck for a 16 yr old guitarist at the time and i went back and bought their back CATALOG BUT STILL THINK THIS IS THEIR MOST RAW HONEST AND KICK ASS RECORD TO DATE - SORRY CAPS ON AND TO LAZY

[BrendaMidnightMoon]

Great song; still relevant. So's the band ... the greatest R&R band to probably never be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. Gary as the Mummy? A Zombie? Garystein? Funnnny! He'll be 50 in July, 2011. Wonder if Nuno was having more fun as a blond? Undoubtedly, he's the best of the best. Sometimes I forget to breathe when I watch him play. His work is stunning, mesmerizing. When his tour with Rihanna is over, I sure hope Extreme issues a new CD and tour in 2011. Oh, sweet anticipation!

[AngryAgain]

hate it when people don't allow stuff to be embedded somewhere else....u miss the band u say....try allowing people to promote them a little more then.

[ruchimat71]

the band i respect so much......thanks for uploading......and greeting from the land of traffic jam ...indonesia.....

[Cronos59]

This performance is just awesome. This sounds great live !

[lra6494]

the singer is high!

[ScarecrowGuitarist]

nuno rocks man...just awsome...i gotta lern to do that....

[whickewhack]

I'm yet to learn to like this album, but loveloveLOVE Nuno's hair :----D

[wildcatter63]

Gary looks much better with short hair, he also has gotten better looking with age

Nuno is still one of the best

[PeavyTracer]

here today.....back today...gary was hyped 4 sure....love extreme

[blica1]

cherone was on some serious blow back then, and he 's acting like freddy mercury on roids !!...

[1981perez]

super! thanx for upload!

[1981perez]

Insane!

[andpyramids]

Call ME crazy here, guys, but I love BOTH Nirvana and Extreme. And there's no reason why you can't love both, you know? Both made very different music, and that's fine. Who wants everything all one way?

[VictorBettencourt]

@andpyramids I don't like Nirvana...but I totally agre with you!! No problem enjoying different styles of music

[rbbruno]

Insane guitar playing.

[darksith36]

Sorry nirvana stinksssssssssss to me, i was in this era and ya i didn't like it at all!when it came out .Oh and where is he now in the grave lots to show for LOL.The songs were so depressing its unbelievable.

[Painkilaxx]

More than words is all these guys got in my country. But if you mention Nirvana everyone recognizes Smells, come as you are or lithium (not to mention Rape me or All apologies).

Sorry, extreme might be a great band with talented technical musicians but they weren't as successful as nirvana!

[LPHALEN]

Extreme is the better band....Nirvana was just different....the music sucked, sad and depressing......if the tables were turned Nirvana would have been an average band....

[alidumanpak]

@Painkilaxx

Because Nuno didn't shot himself.

[omjurmom96]

amazing. so ahead of their time

[motley8oy]

come to australia please

[thetruepirili]

i love this song.

and gary is a rubber man. :D

[hardhatarea]

I believe it's Mangini on drums.

[jonahbooc]

fuck yeah!

[Germanjorge]

the guitarrist is portuguese.

[kotzensue]

que brutal ese final!

[kotzensue]

LOVE IT! Extreme is one of the best bands ever.

[jacopasjazz]

brutal!!!!!!!

[kblur198]

grunge rotted quick, didnt it! Nirvana sucks!

[zepncat]

I wonder if all the shit grunge bands that this song is so obviously directed at ever even got it?...guess it don't matter cuase they were 'gone tommorrow"!!!...love Extreme and

Nuno is the shit!

[Billabongs122988]

zepncat

haha you dumbfuck this song was released from their album Waiting for the Punchline, which was considered as their "grunge" album coz they want to fit into the grunge scene. Extreme is a great band, but Live, Collective Soul, Soul Asylum, Ugly Kid Joe is better

[pulsedemon]

Billabongs:

Are you fucking clueless man?

First of all, the (hideously dumb journalistic) term "grunge" typically defines the sound of rock/metal/punk fused together into a sludgy, noisy sound. NONE of those bands you mentioned fit in. Ever hear a Nirvana/Melvins/Mudhoney song have a solo like this in one of their tunes? Nay.

And as much as I like some tunes by those bands, they'll NEVER touch Extreme.

[noahwayne]

Load of bollocks ya daft cunt - how the fuck can you compare ugly kid joe to these ya silly cunt...Get ya fuckin ears cleaned out daft twat...Think thats enough swearing

[mlmr11]

After years of really just not being able to stand this band I've a new found appreciation for them

They have 4 studio albums I believe?

In this chronological order I viewed the band :

Extremes I : A jump the shark 80's sounding band with borrowed character.

Pornographitti : Nice play on words but the album still lacked originality.

Three sides : What's this ? This is the Extreme? Totally different sounding band with a bit of originality and less formulation.

Punchline : FUCK YEAH THIS RULES

[mrbig71014]

well, call me crazy, but I think a band's style is more out of their first albums than out of their last albums. Extreme is remembered for their sound in Extreme I, Pornograffitti, and Three Sides to Every Story, which, in my opinion, is a master album. Depends on what your taste is. I love Punchline and Saudades de Rock too, but I think their best are their first 3 albums

[jfalconebmop]

What bass does pat badger use? And what drums does mike mangini use?

[tubeyouguitar]

singer of Extreme is absolutely incredible.

[discworld]

I bet the person who's idea to cast EXTREME on Letterman in 1995 was FIRED IMMEDIATELY! Candlebox wasn't available? Ironically, this song is about modern music. "You'll be gone tomorrow"

[zepkid]

Ah, the value of this gem! it really doesn't get much better from Cherone and company from this era.

[greasemcvey]

lol....cherone at 3:12, hilarious

[abangKEDUNG]

mike mangini so amazing!!!

and also the song!!!!

i like this song!!

[ardnega]

nuno ... the grandmaster of string skipping ... makes it look so easy.

[FenderCatchingFace]

Between him and gilbert, they both make string skipping look like its nothing.

[Midnightcrush13]

at lest this dude dances better then scott weiland

[PAtDandFOB4ever]

HAHAHAHA. You dumb little shit face, Jonas Brothers aren't even fucking music compared to this band, that's seriously fucking stupid of you to even compare Jonas Brothers to Extreme, they're non-compadible. Stick to your fucking prick music if you don't know how to hear the real stuff.

[AceN4]

well said lol

[gtrrobster]

@PAtDandFOB4ever

you tell him pal!

[jamerol]

Extreme!!!! Raaaaarrrrrrrrrr .

[peaceofmindperu]

Thanks!

[yawnwhackerman]

Van Halen did this better when they invented it.

[phil12323]

Maybe, but not anymore though.

[miasmicmatt]

cept that van halen was cheesy as hell (for the most part...admit it)... eddie deserves some better recognition, he's probably got some cuts of the most sick/beautiful kind of music to grace the world...all in his "crap" files...for whatever reason, i'm just guessing...no one accomplishes that much without having a "private stash"...

[SouthpawSatch]

...Clever comment knob.

[dariolee]

exelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[hoxfound]

great

[LennartIbanez]

fkn great

[hotmetalslugs]

FRANKENSTEIN WALK!!!!

[lxlandia]

DAMN!..NUNO ROCKS!!! on the solo..\m/

[neddistanz]

what was nuno using for gear during this era? i know he use to use an ADA mp1

[bingefeller]

Not sure what he's using in this video but on the WFTP album he used a cranked Fender Vibroverb through a 4x12 cab.

[rkchang]

Is it just me, or is this an abridged version of the song? Regardless, it was an amazing performance. This was my first exposure to the magic that is Mangini. And of course, Nuno is marvelous!

[sidnyeli1]

mangini.... AWESOME, check him out bigtime! yes tis short version for tv.

[rutboberg]

Nunos timing........ best I´ve heard

[reverend07]

nuno the king of riffs!!!! NUNO rules!!!!!!!!!! one of the most unique and enderrated guitarist...

[cerebraljelly]

the camera men were obviously not aware they were dealing with a guitar god! they never zoom in on his riff parts.

[yomamadontdanz]

sucks!

[OlviMasta77]

omg never seen footage of Cherone before! The guy seems intense. :o Never seen a rock singer with both David Lee Roth and Freddie Mercury in one before. Love Extreme's music!

[LollyAnn]

Cherone has a lot of stage presence

like Freddie Mercury had.

[Spiccatoarco]

Where's Gary's red and white Nijinsky tights?

[Patres87]

wtf ?! nuno has got blonf hair ???!!!

[firebird5150]

yomamadontdanz listens to dido and moby go get blown you sarcastic hosebeast

[AngryAgain]

that was damn cool!

[SouthpawSatch]

...And they are gonna release a new album and do a world tour !!

A dream come true !!

[aisha06]

really? who's in the line up? and where did you get this info?!? cuz if they are gonna tour i gotta start saving up for my ticket now...

[ben400]

nuno ,pat ,gary and kevin figueiredo (dramagods & satellite party drummer)

[sofakingrate]

Kevin Figueiredo???

That's Mike Mangini on the drums...

After that he played with Steve Vai for a while.

[SouthpawSatch]

EXTREME are back !!!

FINALLY !!!

[SouthpawSatch]

Check out their myspace, I got an email about it as im part of the mailing list from the Extreme messageboard..

the line will be :

Gary, Nuno, Pat and this time it will be Kevin Figueiredo on drums (Kevin actually played at Extreme Reunion gig last year)

so there you go !!

[joejordan65]

A band before it's time.....

I think that they should reform now that the world has caught up to them!

[yomamadontdanz]

extreme is gone tomorrow,(and today)they were never hip..they rot

[aisha06]

This is a great live performance- but Gary looks a little weird jumping all over the place- esp with no hair...

[Eclectic1970]

I think he looks hot with the short hair, and he was always dynamic on stage.He gets into the music and lets it take him all over the place i love it!He can do it and still rock I can't wait to see them on tour.

[SouthpawSatch]

Nuno hasnt ruled out reforming extreme, I think the only condition he had was tht he wud only rejoin if the band were likely 2 write new material 4 a new album...

but now hes quite Satellite Party theres nothing stopping him !! God I hope they reform !!

[winkofaneye00]

They should reform

[miasmicmatt]

awesome, thanks for the post. hope they dont take this down like many leno/letterman shows.....now if you could only track down that Bill Hicks deleted comedy routine we'd all be better for it. haha

[Spiccatoarco]

Great. I've looked for this clip for years.

Many thanks.

[rihnosaur]

oops I meant to say light years away...

[rihnosaur]

ALL I have to say is WOW!!!!!

Once again todays artists are light years in talent and technical ability when compared to bands like Extreme..Guns....Metallica RHCP....TOOL....RAGE .....

I miss the 90's

[Zarrix]

RHCP still rock in this new mest-up rap world

[str84ever]

new mest-up rap world.... lol wut. Kiedis raps...

[noahwayne]

Fantastic. Shame they quit when they were just about to enter a more mature phase. Love to have heard the other tracks they worked on just before they split.

[georgebig2]

Singer is greate "dancer"... He moves so sexy!

[quadracergirl]

Whoops, meant to make that a thumbs up, now I can't change it. Thanks for the comment, and you're right. People say he dances like that because he was in some kind of musical for awhile, but kinda makes you wonder, huh?

[reversalstudio]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!they were great!the singer is awesome and has a crazy presence!nuno rocks theres no doubt about but they also got great back vocals and i love bands who can sing together in harmony yay!!and i just learned that the drummer was MIKE haha!!im so happy today!!what a band!!oh and their performance on the freddy mercury tribute was crazy too!!

[ldorr1]

This is an awesome performance!

[kotzensue]

I LOVE THIS SONG! Great band!

[ice9001]

The title was very fitting its a pitty I wish they would do another record I miss them .

[Thiago2069]

Fuckin' nice! I miss them too...

Nuno rocks, by the way!

[firebird5150]
