Extreme - Cupid's Dead (live@Boston 2009)

[@skinflowerUK]

possibly one of the most overlooked rock bands ever

[@MadinahArsy2018]

Yy?

[@davidcej]

Possibly? possibly water gets wet. Sure 100% ;)

[@gregsauers2376]

Not by this guy!! One of my favs. But youre right. Another overlooked band is Saigon Kick. Very diverse like Extreme.

[@bender8100]

And Spock's beard too... 🤣

[@sldeano2001]

I was thinking that this morning while I was listening to flight of the wounded bumblebee and He/Man woman hater!!🤘

[@raphaeladrianbautista4516]

Nuno has got to be one of the most percussive guitarists out there. So damn underrated this man.

[@lorettasearcy1471]

He started out on drums and his brother taught him how to play 🎸

[@maltekraft6186]

I think he is actually not underrated, because he is part of GENERATION AXE with Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde ... :)

[@jasonbates2687]

I unconciously play this way a lot with a drum pedal.

[@john-xc3iy]

He is an awesome drummer as well!

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Wow, so like Eddie VH, Nuno also started out on drums. I always hear a lot of EVH influence in Nuno's style and tapping. I used to wonder how Cherone got picked to front Van Halen years ago, but he has a voice that sounds fitting to front them, for the short duration that he did.

[@radgeheid]

Cupid's Dead might be Extreme's masterpiece. That funky metal breakdown is fucking monstrous. Insane how overlooked this song is.

[@theidiotsarewinning2868]

Agreed. The “breakdown” part is so original. Phrasing percussive riffs one after another. I prefer it to any traditional guitar solo.

[@Moon_Glow222]

Everything Nuno does is FUNKY! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@mier37]

Going to see them in Detroit at The Fillmore two weeks from tonight. This is the song I'm most excited to hear them perform live. 🎸

[@radgeheid]

@@mier37 I'm seeing them in Scotland in November, and same!

[@mier37]

@@radgeheid Awesome. Have fun rocking out!!! (I love Scotland. I'm sure your crowd will be more excited and energetic than the one I'll be stuck with here in the States.)

[@Sennanchie]

Pat Badger is one seriously kick ass bassist!!!!!!! I can't even believe how good he is. With GREAT back round vocals to top it off! Man would I love to have him in my band. Great bass players who can also sing really well are worth their weight in gold in my opinion.

[@frankhausman1033]

FZ Wouldn't have hired Nuno bc Nuno Is too much better than Frank ever was.

[@empanadasfritas7142]

He's probably great but, he's playing for Nuno. Nuno's flying all over the harmonies and riffs. I don't even hear the bass. Don't need too. Nuno does everything

[@EothaG]

Having Pat Badger in my band would be AWESOME but also super intimidating! He's pretty amazing

[@jackalker6384]

how the fuck does Nuno and Pat have a full on conversation while playing insane riffs? too talented

[@woodzie06]

They aren't human

[@panzerlieb]

Because they’ve been these riffs for the last twenty years. It’s like walking for them now

[@angela_perelli_777]

@@woodzie06 and what is he is not human? Is he reptilian?

[@josephsantoro375]

It just boggles my mind... Just totally shredding and chatting !! 😳🤯🎸🥁🎤🎶

[@dodywidodo9433]

They’re in pantheon of musical gods. Whaddya think…

[@wseeback]

Nuno is one of the best guitarists of our age. So overlooked.

[@FreeMTrider]

Super talented band......making great music. Damn these guys are good.

[@juanpuerto737]

No love for the Pat's bass? He is up there with Nuno. very underrated as well.

[@EothaG]

Absolutely!!! Pat has got to be one of the MOST underrated bass players of all time.

[@superhossenpheffer]

Wolverine kicking ass on the kit!! These guys are even better than 20 years ago. HOLY CRAP!!

[@JiosX]

what a performance. this is like probably the most criminally underrated band

[@gdub999tub.]

I think that Extreme got eclipsed by the Grunge movement and then forgotten. Too bad, because they are really phenomenal.

[@USofguitar]

Not only is Nuno on a great solo guitarist but his timing and rhythmic playing is flawless!

[@Suzisueful]

Yup Patrick's always been one, "Badass," bassist, he is one of the most underrated musicians, and vocalists of all time! He is truly a rare talent!!!

[@samuelelijas9002]

Pat - what an amazing bass player!!!

[@IncessantWake]

what a fucking phenomenal performance. I was clapping after it ended. Unbelievably amazing musicians all around and entertainers. Incredible !!!

[@narendrawicaksana6412]

hahaha mee toooo

[@evalex71]

+Incessant Wake One of the best live groups I've ever seen.

[@robertocaesar]

I dont think this audience really understands how difficult and great music they are attending to. Nuno is a great guitar player. And Pat keeps up with him dubbing in the bass thru some hard rythms.

[@bmdshred77]

Yes that song is amazing and very hard to match all the rhythm changes and they did it great.

[@lizweedus9816]

I'm with you people. Jeez, " some people (as FZ once said )wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit them on the ass"

[@Mellindaameliaofficial]

Well they are extreme, what we can say about that 😅

[@Rennison_]

His name is Pat Badger

[@qwertyzxcv123]

Nuno is a rhythm guitar god. Always coming up with catchy tunes.

[@drdave971]

Nuno possesses the swing and percussion that Eddie Van Halen had unbelievable!!! Great band

[@deepandjon]

I have discovered Extreme only few days ago but man have I got hooked to this music.

[@gdub999tub.]

I am in AWE of how good they are live. This song is hard enough to play anyway, and to do it in front of an audience without missing a beat -- Nuno looks so comfortable while playing things that are very difficult to pull off (or hammer on, etc... for that matter).

[@oronmichmich61]

one of the best rock songs ever created and performed

[@psingiwaibatamang2861]

Songs Way ahead of its time

[@imacop33]

To play this great live is uncanny. Nuno and Pat are f'n phenomenal. Possibly the most underrated band of my lifetime.

[@muddshshshark]

III sides to every story .Played the hell outta that CD!!

[@yangerjamir0906]

Haha me too... Memorised the lyrics of almost all the songs in that album

[@myleftearful]

Great power funk drumming and perfect timing from all the boys!

[@tonehunter59]

Holy shyte. What an absolute master class. Not a single weak member, a perfect combination. Gary is such an incredible showman too. These guys are peerless.

[@mattgarcia440]

Unbelievable musicianship !!! Drummers a machine !!! " F " YEAH !!!

[@javierholguin4578]

Love the way Pat Badger keeps up with Nuno! Amazing Amazing musicians !! Kick ass verso of this banger!❤🤟🤟

[@peterbendur382]

This is the greatest song by The Extreme band, which I love terribly and play the guitar a lot, I like it very much, Thank you Extreme band!!!!!

[@luismalavado6101]

They are sooo unique!!! This music. … one of a kind!! Just them 🤟

[@Mscourage07]

Pat and Nuno are brilliant on guitar and they harmonize totally together and Gary is my Rockpoet! ;-)

[@MiriamMars]

Absolutely LOVE that band!!!

[@890r6]

I saw these guys at Massey Hall in Toronto during this tour. They brought out a horn section dressed like Miami Vice characters for this tune. It was unbelievable. What an amazing band. 💯🤘🤙🙌

[@macsrc]

What a masterpiece! Such a great band and song!

[@WayneBetts-g3j]

Damn,l ❤ watching Nuno play, Gary's animated singing and of course the band 🔥

[@WayneBetts-g3j]

Love watching them for the same reason 🫦! 6:58

[@zoltanfunkyrobot]

True geniuses... can't stop listening... after about 20 repeat, I had to pick up my guitar that I haven't used for quite a while... really inspirational material right there

[@moserr11]

I am all alone in my office and I gave them a Standing Ovation. Gawd damn that was good.

[@theerawatech]

Woww, the moment they gathered with the drummer was best. Very best

[@facelessman6865]

We were there for the taping, one of the greatest nights of my life. Im the fuzzy blond bopping in the front right second row.

[@sjm_1984]

This band IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!SUPER DUPER AWESOME ESPECIALLY THE GUITARIST 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@micheleweiss518]

I just found out I was looking at the song that they played More Than Words and I saw that years ago I didn't realize what they were all about especially Nuno God he's gorgeous

[@VenusianGoddess18]

Awesome performance!

Love Exstreme wish they,d tour England again.

[@mykylc]

Such a fabulous guitar song!

[@empanadasfritas7142]

You are a good musician when you have a big concert like this. You are an artist when you have 3 generations expecting for you to make your great return.

What can I say that hasnt been said about this bands' skills? Havent ever been a huge extreme fan. But I understand what talent looks and sounds like. These boys have it in spades!

[@wilderamplification]

Whoever that new drummer is...I'm damn impressed! He damn near NAILED Paul Geary's original drumbeat to this. While he added a bit of his own flair to it, he did it in a way that complimented the original. Damn good!!!

how come this masterpiece don't have a million views??? D:!!

One of the underrated bands

[@drbrooky]

Epic tune. Love playing this on the guitar, Awesome fun

[@futureright7]

In 1990s when I was in middle school and high school days, More Than Words was actually the only song that I knew, and as a fan of rock and heavy metal music, I didn't even know it was ROCK BAND. And after I entered into university, I happend to hear their songs like Decadance Dance, Suzi, Warhead, Cupud's Dead, Rest In Peace, Am I Ever Gonna Change, etc, I was frightened and shocked that I met this great band so late. I was especially fascinated by Nuno's guitar play which is so unique with power and groove. Cupud's Dead is the song that shows that kind of Nuno's capability and charms. Great band and guitarist ever.

[@whothefxxx]

best live Cupid's Dead version I've ever heard! Thanks for the upload

[@clintusmaximus]

amazing. I just love his sound

[@DavidJackson]

This band is so good. Gary is a great singer and frontman. Nuno is God, and Pat keeps up with him while singing as well. The drummer is the engine that moves them all forward.

[@Queen7185]

Extreme are underrated, nuno is one of the best, patrick is ace to, ppl need to realise that, hope they keep rockin' !

Can still remember seeing them in the eighties at the living Room in Providence Rhode Island what a solid fukn band

[@renatofilho9985]

The crowd looks dead because that's how you look in presence of some shocking master piece and perfect musicians

[@chrisshort87]

Nuno will never be beaten as a riff machine. He is incredibly talented.

[@jimmipage77]

Other bands/guitar players would make 10 songs out of one minute of him playing riff after riff. One of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
