Extreme "It's A Monster" Donnington 94 VHS to YouTube HD

[@dozza7946]

I was there - they were actually boo’ed as they came onto the stage as they had filled the slot originally reserved for Motley Crew - They won the crowd over - and were rightfully cheered off the stage 🤟🏼 Awesome Set 👏

[@beksandvonny]

D ozza79 I was there too, right at the front! The bottles of piss weren’t the best... !

[@carlopepi]

@Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. It was normal back then

[@tatianaroveda]

I hate when people boo- its a real sign of disrepect...I'm glad Extreme let it go and played.

[@WalterMiani]

how could one boo the Extreme???

[@dozza7946]

Walter Miani It was because they had replaced Motley Crew at the last minute...... at least Gary can sing 🎤 😂🤣

[@tuffteddy1446]

Pat Badger on bass! Such a hugely talented musician.

[@JonathanAnon]

Nuno was brilliant that day. A lot of pressure on them as "the band that shouldn't be on the bill", and he knocked it out of the park.

[@kimonmatara6903]

Insanely tight band. A level of musicianship that's very, very rare these days.

[@tompicker4017]

Tell that to Bring Me The Horizon

[@svenfigueroa312]

Just like living colour and the david lee roth band

[@vubear]

Snarky Puppy

[@b.sagiarto8717]

You're right

[@chrischoir3594]

pretty much every band is this tight nowadays

[@nijmegen5150]

Nuno always flows effortlessly in the groove!!!

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

Everyone talks about Nuno, and rightfully so. But, take a moment and listen to that bass player and drummer. They were/are one of the tightest rhythm sections I've ever heard. They both are monsters!

[@florianrau4091]

Who's the drummer?

[@luiscarlossanchez2990]

​@@florianrau4091Mike Mangini

[@mantracker-gx1bj]

Besides their amazing playing ... good lord their backing vocals!!!

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

they had the songs , the looks (especially Nuno!) and the chops. Just bad timing I guess Still, I wouldn't mind be as "Unsuccessful" as they were, LOL!

[@ckgaming2366]

Lead guitarists always good singers for backings

[@MrAvataragency]

Saw them live in '90. Their music is timeless and has more relevance today than it did back then. They wrote socially active material and brought one of the highest levels of musicianship/presence to a stage of any band in the 90's. It didn't matter what kind of music you liked back then - once Extreme hit the stage, you had to respect them. They are still killing it live to this day.

[@bunzenbee]

Cherone is such a crazy freak on stage, i love it.

[@themodernguitarist]

Jesus Christ Mike looks young here. Also, the thing I love about Extreme is how fucking AMAZING the background vocals are. No one is off pitch, unlike some live bands that don't really put effort into them.

[@clovesheck8235]

Mangini look like a kid in a playground... happy

[@yetanotherguitarist]

god i wish people still made records like this. I fucking love extreme and mr big too.

[@adamkail4449]

same!!

[@MOTLEYBRUE]

Have you gotten there latest CD call 'six'??

[@evalex71]

I've seen Extreme four times, most recently in 2015. Incredible band and they put their all into every single performance. They never mail it in, they go 110%

[@thestrawhead]

UNREAL guitar playing!!...Holy crap, what an underrated guitar player.

[@JonathanAnon]

I've been listening to Extreme in the car the last few days, and the difference that Mangini brings to the intro to this song is amazing. He brings so much energy and oooommph. Even the album track sounds so tame compared to Mike's live performance here.

[@NunoN41984]

Wonder why Extreme, especially Nuno didn't get the recognition they deserved. &/0r to be honerd by the Rock'n'Roll Hall of fame. I think it was too soon for them to break up in the mid 90's. I truely believe they could have made & left a big mark in the music industry if they stayed together & worked things out then. Eventhough they got back together in '05/6 it was too long of a break as a group. Sad that their so under-rated.Nuno is one of the best guitar players of all time! Extreme is great!

[@billfraser1491]

Unfortunatly they had a career in the 90's... at this time "mainstream rock" was dead

[@petermontgomery8707]

Extreme ended up a vehicle for nuno.Understandably as he’s an extraordinary talent,but your average punter isn’t that stuck on guitar hero’s and if they are in that niche then the guitarist builds everything around him like the Michael schenker group or rainbow.Nuno seems like he wants to step away from that and do a bit of session stuff,a bit touring with Rihanna etc etc when you get a guitar hero it’s them that is the icon.Nuno jumps for genre to genre and brings himself to what he’s doing rather than him always being the centre.

[@KolyaNickD]

It was all about grunge back then. But extreme did get a lot of airplay nevertheless..

[@yoostburg]

@@billfraser1491 yep unfortunately they were at their peak during a time where anything that sounded even remotely like hair/glam metal was automatically shit canned (even though Extreme are clearly much better musicians than those kinds of bands)

[@MOTLEYBRUE]

Their latest CD SIX is insanely fantastic!! They are making a major comeback!!

[@thrashredder]

Extreme is slowly becoming my all time favourite band

[@MOTLEYBRUE]

Same

[@syndicateathletics7072]

motley could only dream they sounded this good

[@metricdeep8856]

Real instruments, real talent. This was and is the talent to match to this day. No one stepped up.

[@julypradana3093]

incredible great amazing freaking awesome fantastic and powerfull band on their personel

[@celestialscripture]

Gary Cherone absolutely owning the stage.

[@memeacademy2295]

Precision and intonation... no computer o autotuner... real musicians

[@PeterHaynes7]

I was near the front for this. Great times

[@zzerovisibility]

Wish I seen this whole Extreme show!!!

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

MTV !? 1994 !? An Extreme live Gig !? I think it´s a proof that miracles can actually happen !!

[@titidou714]

Thanks for posting those videos

[@jennifermello3624]

Great Band from Massachusetts...

[@anthonyfuentes1417]

WOW, I didn't know Jason Biggs from "American Pie" could play Drums!

[@leostereodj]

😂

[@juktapose]

wow never seen this before...thx for sharing this....and yes nuno is a beast!!!

[@paqman78]

This was the BEST Extreme lineup. With Mike Mangini on the drums.

[@jb111082]

Mangini was, pardon the pun, a MONSTER!

[@PeteUnsigned]

The best extreme lineup is Nuno, Gary and whoever the fuck else they decide to use

[@Jellybeantiger]

@@PeteUnsigned A band is only as good ss their drummer.

[@geoffreybennett86]

Nuno is just on another plane sometimes. His accuracy is insane

[@horacrux]

thanks for posting

[@Tiago_007]

I didn’t know the American Pie actor was such a great drummer

[@x-casper8910]

Extreme with the best formation ever . . Mike Mangini on Drum...

[@sonortubelug3853]

Pity he couldn't be arsed bringing a drum kit.

[@kosmoart]

extreme!!!! bestial!!! nuno eres grande!!!

[@Savoy1984]

I can’t picture this song without picturing Mike point at his drum tech.

[@OlemirCandido]

Awesome

[@ДжонГилл]

This is one of my all time favorite bands it’s crazy 2 think they weren’t as big as I perceive them, they should be AS big as Motley Crue if anything

[@mach.6846]

Nuno Nuno Nuno....Talented beyond words

[@Staminist-MMF-80]

+Mac Angel And he doesn't seem to age at all :D

[@mach.6846]

+Staminist right????? Nuno always blows me away... I think Nuno is one of the very best, next to DJ Ashba. .. now DJ is bad ass like Nuno.

[@Staminist-MMF-80]

Mac Angel My No1 hero on the guitar is Dimebag, period. >.< \m/

[@TexasAxeSlinger]

Like DJ, but he is 100% NOT as technically good as Nuno. But he looks cool and plays cool stuff, but name 1 BIG solo that everyone knows by him and everyone learns how to play it? I like the guy, and learned Life is Beautiful by Sixx AM, but think about it, he doesn't have the star power or CHOPS of Nuno and never will. But he looks cool as hell and is a nice guy and a great guitar player, but so am I.

[@mach.6846]

Nuno is Nuno and Dj is Dj ,, Both amazing but different . DJ Ashba is mind blowing and many people will back me up on that . We can agree to disagree on this . I have mad respect for Nuno and I love Nuno but Dj Ashba is a ROCK Star with a clothing company , a media company , has many endorsements , is very fan friendly unlike many so called rock stars who dont take the time to meet their true fans , Dj does . SIXX:AM Rocks my world .

[@mikeralston777]

Badasses.

[@robertboissoneau9481]

How could you not like them " freaking nuno Bettencourt 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@6thomy]

Gary Cherone jalao entero jaja! Qué máquina Extreme!! (notable Mangini en batería!)

[@yougotmikelopez]

Mike Mangini on drums! Love it! So much more energy and life than Paul Geary!

[@parasnongmaithem7272]

My only 1 in the world favorite band ..extreme👍👍🙏❤

[@elmo1171]

Wow It took me a second look , Then I realised Hey that's Mike Mangini . Never seen him so young . His Kit style is pretty much the same back then , With dream theater he brought to life an amazing kit . I love bands that sound Awesome Live . Many suck , Like today's Skater crap . 3 chords and they throw in a 4th and sing like they are British LOL . No Solo means no proper Guitar Studies . Extremes Music flows Naturally the way it should Be . Great Video , Thanks TOBLERONETWO Great Job .

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

Was so happy to meet them 20 years later on the Pornograffiti 20 tour. Such lovely guys!

[@zzerovisibility]

They need to release a live DVD!

[@klauswhitedreamer]

great ... EXTREME such a great band , such great memories ...

[@individrus]

The most amazing thing for me with Extreme was always looking at Pat and Nuno- how did they managed those pretty complicated back-vocals with playing riffs?:) In fact- why did Paul Geary left, at the end?

[@kaiying74]

He wanted to go into band management. He still does it to this day.

[@SaschaReinsch]

I remember he managed Alter Bridge during their Blackbird Tour...

[@MoizAudio]

Best drummer

[@fabioguitar2230]

Great Band...

Nuno was so wonderful with this hair!!!

[@tonypowell250]

Wonderful with any hair.

[@caleun1000]

Wow!... verlos en su conformacion original!, que placer!, Gracias TOBLERONETWO!

[@gymrat1190]

Song kicks ass!

[@MATRIX1999ism]

They were the most close in quality to Van Halen in that times, and to think a couple of years after this, Gary ended singing with them in the less liked album of van halen's discography, but for me, some of the best performances on the band's carreer. Those were the days too

[@Crichton51]

best guitarist around, musical genius. Bloody good band

[@jross279]

mike mangini looks like the dude from american pie here... LoL

[@Petar_Nikolov]

Sure! Hahaha!

[@imacop33]

I once thought Nuno missed a note... I was mistaken.

[@tama2112]

Mike Mangini is an amazing drummer...but Paul Geary makes this song sound soooo much better with a lot less drums.

[@PauloRoldan]

No one held the groove together like the mighty Paul Geary with a monster snare drum sound and two toms. And three cymbals.

[@kevbrown2532]

I remember watching Geary do a solo with the kit on a turn table, kept the rhythm going while he took his shirt off and the table rotated through 90 degrees.

[@hahmmo]

Wish they kept making album back in 90s without breakup.. although cant complain about nuno’s solo work

[@eltoro969]

They were the tightest funk/metal band around at the time. Whats funny is how so many of these type of bands survived the grunge explosion. Faith No More, RHCP, Clawfinger, RATM.. etc Keep in mind, the grunge wave really killed off this kind of music around 90/91. The 90s is one huge graveyard of bands from the 80s. So all respect for bands like Extreme to not follow the trend and survive the atom grunge bomb.

[@davidbackhaus3296]

you can tell grunge is ruling the air waves at this time... gary is really trying to sound tough and mean... ha

[@WtF6655]

David Backhaus no

[@mikeralston777]

The press was calling them the band that shouldn't be on the bill. The yobs were throwing piss bottles. They followed Pantera, two days before Kurt Cobain's alleged suicide. I'd say he was probably playing the hand he was dealt.

[@eltoro969]

Since their debut in 89 many bands like them was still around and nu metal had just began to emerge. Bands like KORN, Marilyn Manson, NIN, Prodigy etc was the hottest thing in 94. Even grunge was more or less dead. People wanted the HARD stuff in 94/95. In 94 Extreme was pretty much yesterdays news and people didn`t want such high level of technical skills. The grunge era forced musicians to get back to the roots and simplify things or go the more psychedielic way. I remember old bands like The Velvet Underground suddenly became popular again. Bands like Faith No More, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam was changing their style to more alternative sounding rock. Even RHCP with "One Hot Minute" was a big switch from the funk metal they had done earlier. So Gary probably tried to get the band to sound more heavy by singing like that rather than the glam metal vocals he used to do. The whole decade was just one big wind of change that ended early 00s when millennials took over and destroyed all good music and sabotaged new genres. Fuckin millennials. History`s most useless generation.

[@SHINTAKE14]

The best!

[@giandeguzman6402]

Are we sure these are the same guys who did More Than Words lol? They were crazily great here

[@ridgekarma]

Now that is the kind of super human guitar player that was great back in the day and you really see the stark contrast between something that technically awesome and still letter perfectly played and the avalanche of poorly played guitar that followed ever since Nirvana sank things lol.

[@DustyMailman]

Mike Mangini looks mental in this video! haha What a legend!

[@rushbum]

Jason biggs on drums

[@Iglioni]

Mr Mike Mangini, now in Dream Theater

[@lighthousexiii2391]

What a great band. Nuno can certainly play guitar ...

[@beenderedonedat]

Average at best lol. Just kidding, he is great and the longevity proves it

[@MrFucksnacks]

As you went into the festival there were people giving out promotional Biscuit Boost choc bars. Being the unruly teenagers that we were at the time we nicked a few boxes of them and ran off into the crowd. After half a day of eating them we were all sick of them and the rest ended up getting launched at Extreme during this set. Everyone saved a few especially for the song More Than Words.

[@JustMeNoOther]

Excellent comment !!

[@lafera310]

This live is so funny 😆 Gary is screaming, Mike is nodding!

[@Queen7185]

Attitude, anger, metal, funk...ITS A MONSTER!!!!!

[@MAGNUM2F]

@TheAky13 yeah, totally agree. I love extreme and was a bit puzzled at their inclusion at the monsters of rock! they came on and started real strong and i thought 'hey, these lads might pull this off!' then they go and bring a bar stool out into the centre of the stage and 'more than words' began. oh dear! downhill from there im afraid. still enjoyed seeing them though. i never missed many Doningtons, great days...

[@benedettomansueto4016]
