Extreme - More Than Words | FIRST TIME REACTION | (Official Music Video)

[@abrahamesparza01]

He was the 3rd singer of Van Halen. But we don't talk about that

[@lperea21]

I want to talk about it... 😊

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist, is very much an icon in the guitar world. His signature guitars are with Washburn. 😊😊

[@swordmonkey6635]

The secret to this song is Nuno playing the guitar percussively. His tapping and hitting on the guitar body as he plays fills the song and gives it extra emotion. Perfection.

[@swordmonkey6635]

Extreme is a VERY versatile group. Rock, funk, easy listening... anything. They can do it.

[@jamesrawlins735]

The only thing any of them couldn't do was be the lead singer for Van Halen (Gary Charone was always a strange choice - very talented but absolutely wrong choice).

[@dadof4813]

It’s nice to be able to come back to songs like this. In its day, you couldn’t escape from this song, it was everywhere to the point t where people actually grew tired of it. Reaction channels like yours allow many of us to appreciate what we may have previously dismissed.

[@TheNightOwl11683]

Even the band grew tired of it because it wasn't the entire band in the song

[@klausmogensen8691]

The guitarist (Nuno Bettencourt) is generally recognized as one of the best electric guitar players in the world So it's always been a bit funny that this is the most famous song he plays on :)

[@jamesrawlins735]

It's also the most un-Extreme like Extreme song.

[@dpj64]

I would recommend “Hole Hearted” as another great song from Extreme

[@546Scott]

They really are a great band... Nuno is an exceptional musician

[@bobbyjohnson6240]

Such a wonderful breath of fresh air. Your reactions are so genuine. Love it girl, keep it up. Us musicians love it and you ❤❤❤ even us part time players

[@beowulf1005]

This band can play anything. Nuno Bettencourt is a guitar virtuoso. I've been a fan for over 30 years.

[@williamyates694]

Can't stand the band. But Nuno IS one of the best No one can say otherwise if they are educated.

[@fredvelez7703]

One of the greatest guitar players and so underrated!

[@davidcollins897]

They just dropped a new album this year. Check out the song Rise. Nuno smokes the strings right off his guitar. Dude still has it.

[@beowulf1005]

@@davidcollins897 "Hurricane" is my favorite track on the new album so far.

[@joaooliveira1516]

Portuguese greatness

[@draguladirt]

They can also rock - they played at the Queen tribute concert - and did a great job on a few Queen songs.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

true! been at wembley '92 ... epic day! ♥ but sorry to correct you: it wasn't "the Queen tribute concert", but "The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness" ... *high5

[@draguladirt]

@@JohnHazelwood58 sorry yes. I only have this on DVD - epic !!!

[@stevepool8034]

Bisscute: your tastes are so wide ranging that it's like a box of chocolate; open it, tune in and see what you're gonna get. Totally loved today's selection, a song long known to my ear, but it's always nice to see it appreciated by a music aficionado like you. Bravo! 💕

[@marvinsarracino116]

This is one of thoose songs that you cant help but sing along with! Great message about showing love! ❤ The harmony and acoustic guitar are so well blended! Takes me back once again to the old days, with a smile! 😁 Thanks for the reaction Biss!❤💛

[@allenlocke1935]

Do "Get The Funk Out", "Decadent Dance", "Rest In Peace", "#Rebel", "Rise", "Play With Me" (this one from the live Take Us Alive concert🔥) The Take Us Alive concert is an exceptional representation of this band! Other songs from this concert are "Cupids Dead", "Take Us Alive", "Whole Hearted", "Star" and "Am I Ever Gonna Change". Seriously the list goes on and on. This is the greatest band you never heard of until now!

[@renejr.parzan5931]

Mutha I don't wanna go to school today.

[@hobbes7460]

Oh come on, you can’t list those songs without including “He-man woman hater!” That opening riff is amazing!

[@allenlocke1935]

@@hobbes7460 True that 🤣

[@limoselect]

They know the recipe to succeed as a rock band, bring a ballad! They did it very well!

[@BradAaronTaylor]

Great choice, Biss. This song definitely makes me feel a certain kinda way.. 🥺 The lyrics are really incredible, and I love how simple - yet so powerful - the black-n-white video is. _"It's not that I want you._ _Not to say, but if you only knew.."_

[@TheAes86]

I was working thru college at a Long John Silvers when this song was out. We had these microphones at the time on the fron counters to call back special orders... after close at times we would put rubber bands over the push button mainly to annoy whoever was in back. I was up front counting the drawers and (while i cant really sing) someone had this song playing on the radio so i started singing into the mic. One of the other employees grabbed the other oneand egged me on to keep going. He could sing tho. So we did the duet, myself and Brian. 2 months later his cousin called him out of class to fly down and audition for a group he later joined, called the Backstreet Boys.

[@woodyheywood8792]

I filled in as a stage hand for a few of their shows and they are 2 of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

[@hazi5961]

If you want to hear the more metal side of Extreme, check out "Play With Me".

[@albertomagana6577]

In life, two extremes usually occur: those who frequently say I love you without proving it with actions, and those who spend their entire lives without ever daring to say I love you, one as bad as the other, until they no longer dare to say I love you. there is a remedy. In any case, a beautiful song, which has remained despite the years that have passed, is from 1991 and the reason is obvious, the beautiful message it transmits and the beautiful interpretation. Greetings Bisscute and a big hug from Mexico City.

[@antoniolugo37]

Extreme is one of the most underrated bands in history. They were known as the "More than words" guys. They have several songs to bang your head (Get the funk out, Decadence dance, Kid ego) but also ballads (Hole hearted, tragic comic, song for love). Even its vocalist, Gary Cherone, spent some time singing with Van Halen, I recommend that you only listen the song "Without you", the only interesting song from Van Halen's Cherone era

[@robertmandin2736]

I'm 67 it's my favorite song still, thank you.. God bless you ❤️

[@Lrs12359]

Memories of a first real love ❤️

[@msmilder25]

great video, I love that the drummer and bass player play up the fact that they're not in the song, so they just chill out and listen, cracks me up

[@Logan-ed4pu]

Haha I knew you would love this song. This was their huge hit. They also had a big hit with Hole Hearted that is full band acoustic and more upbeat that I also would suggest, but for something completely electric and mind blowing, check out Play With Me. Nuno Bettencourt is one of the best guitarists in rock music history, and it shows on that song.

[@leonardvandergriff6241]

I remember I asked you about 7 months ago to react to this song when you reacted to Mr big thank you for another amazing reaction as always

[@solitaryjeff]

Hi Biss! Extreme are still around (after all these years) and just put out a new album called "Six" you'd really like the songs "Rise" Other Side Of the Rainbow" and "Small Town Beautiful"

[@beowulf1005]

"Hurricane" is very touching. My personal favorite off the new album.

[@DocGliss]

Always love your reactions, Bisscute! If you'd like to hear these guys at the other end of their musical spectrum, try "Rise" from their 2023 album "Six". Nuno's solo from that thing became an instant legend among guitarists. Enjoy!

[@dichotomous9403]

At the time, I was a high school thrash metalhead, but I learned all of these hair band ballads on guitar 'cause they made my high school sweetheart's heart melt. We'd be at the mall and hit the music store, and I'd pick up a guitar and start that opening and you could see teen girl doe eyes in all directions. Powerful stuff.

[@nwslimbubba]

Yes they sing this so effortlessly. Just like you come on here looking so beautiful so effortlessly 😊

[@TheAtonne]

If you want to HEAR what a warm hug feels like, this song is the best way to describe it

[@jinoh7418]

Ive never met anyone who didnt feel the same way as you did for this song. ❤

Great song to start 2024 ❤ 🇨🇦

[@sumonjamal1653]

Extreme r from Boston, they broke big in 1990 w/ this 2nd album 'Pornograffiti'... It sold 2x platinum and this single became an essential 'slow dance' song. Extreme scored another acoustic hit from this album - 'Hole hearted'... Unfortunately, Extreme became this cautionary tale in the 90's as 3rd album 'III sides to every story' only sold gold in the US and they were not known for their rock songs. Extreme released 'Waiting for the punchline' in 1995, but it sold poorly and they disbanded in 1996. The original Extreme was: Gary Cherone (vocals), Nuno Bettencourt (guitar), Pat Badger (bass) and Paul Geary (drums) In 1998, Gary Cherone joined Van Halen as the singer and released 1 album 'Van Halen III'... He was not a good fit for Van Halen and was out of the band by 2000. Extreme eventually reunited and has released 2 more albums. Other songs by Extreme - 'Get the funk out' ... 'Hip today' ... 'Rest in peace'... "Mutha (Don't want to go to school today)"

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

These guys were/are also very dear friends with Brian May and the group Queen… At the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, they performed the most STUNNING Queen medley! When Brian May introduced them, he paid them the HIGHEST compliment, saying “These guys, probably more than anyone else, understand what Queen has been about - and what Freddie has been about - all these years.” (The full medley is 20 MINUTES LONG… and “tricky” to find in its entirety, but there are a couple copies of the full thing on YT… I think they actually performed the medley just BEFORE the main tribute concert started, which would explain why not a lot of people seem to be aware of it.)🫶

[@Mr_Bonk]

The extended version is so much better...this version just left you hanging

[@russellward4624]

This song was huge for months and months.

[@318greenman]

I grew up seeing this band we were all musicians at the same time playing the same clubs and bars and I do love your reaction to this song... I think I like it more now than when it first came out and they although it put them out in the world in a big way they we're basically a funk rock band with some diverse styles as well... They felt that this song never showcased who they really were but it is their masterpiece 💜

[@pianoekket]

I was so happy when I learned this on the guitar many years ago, felt so good to play it. I forgot most about it now but it's a nice song

[@badtzmarutattoo]

This song was massive in its day and you could not escape it on the radio which was our main choice for music… I never got tired of this song it always gives me chills

[@javierenriqueramirezgonzal9666]

Sorry, i wrote wrong: i love your complacent face when you like a song video ... This songs brings me back to my "wonderful years". God bless you my dear virtual rumanian friend!

[@lizardkingof1968]

An 80's jam band that had great power ballads like this and Whole Hearted...my fav rockin tune by them is called Get the Funk Out...🔥😬

[@DustinHawke]

Recorded in 89, came out in 90.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

One of the best unplugged tracks ever. Such deep lyrics, more than what most people take away initially. I feel it's even more than something physical...it's a deep commitment.

[@quinn-tessential3232]

Or they were just trying to get laid. To me, these lyrics always sounded like they were trying to negotiate their way into someone's pants.

[@PhlioNihm]

Extreme is fantastic, and Nuno Bettencourt is a legend to many guitarists, and to appreciators of guitar driven music in general. For more extreme, I'd recommend "Get the Funk Out" or "Do You Wanna Play" (which was also in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) to give you an idea of what lies ahead on your Extreme journey. There is a lot of history with this band to dive into if you find them interesting. Thank you for all of your reactions, I really enjoy them. Cheers!

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

People that typically got their music spoon-fed to them via corporate FM music programming think that this song and Hole Hearted represents the music of Extreme.

[@paulsullivan8883]

Have a look at Other Side of the Rainbow off the latest album Six. Good to see them back with a great album. I saw them in Wolverhampton a few weeks ago. Amazing rock band!

[@TocadaLeitura]

Underrated band! I love their albums, had a crush on Nuno Bettencourt when I was a teenager (u can see why ) and I really like Gary Cherone vocals. He's a really talented singer.

[@justitia257]

Beautiful song, I sang it with a friend of mine at karaoke. Nice memories

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

That was their biggest number one song for 1990.

[@GS-xt8fu]

I always found this great. These guys could rock it out pretty good.

[@RoGueNavy]

I highly recommend their song, "Hole Hearted". It's funny, how many people think this is a love song.

[@brendangrimace]

Your facial expression at 5:30 is exactly why this song is a classic. They tease that final peak a few times, but when it hits - all the emotion kind of rushes over you.

[@pablomazzeo8540]

this song was from early 90s many of us where teenagers in those times , good song to remamber

[@badvlad9861]

"get the funk out" is the exact opposite, highlights their "Extreme" range of talents effortlessly.

[@SpasticRicktastic]

Yes, I'm old.. I remember when this album came out. This song was great and the entire album was awesome. I listened to it almost non stop for a long time. Nuno is one of the best guitarists ever. Gary's voice has always been fantastic. This band is one of the most underrated of that era.

[@mikemiller3069]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of a song with a very similar message (and I think of this one when I hear that one). The song, "When You Say Nothing At All" has been covered by several artists but my favorite is Allison Kraus.

[@gabrielkoszela6707]

They just released "banshee" last year. Great song Also "wholehearted" was a popular song back in the day

[@gustavodb20]

Black Label Society - In This River (live doom troopin) 25 millions views!!! You wont regreat!!!

[@raisa_cherry35]

Sadly as i was too young,didn’t go beyond “More Than Words” and now as an adult the more i am listening to their other songs,the more i am addicted 😅❤❤ In fact,just an hour ago joined the Extreme singing this song 😅😅😅😅😂

[@reinhardt2002]

It's cool to see the great results when these 'heavy rock' guys open their hearts. I suggest you listen to "You And Me", "I'll Never Cry", "How You Gonna See Me Now" by the horror rock show master Mr Alice Cooper.

[@Roegwon]

Hole Hearted by Extreme has a similar vibe. Next check out Rise and also Get the Funk Out by them 🍪 see you next time💜

[@Denissp]

Nostalgia… I just felt back in the 90’s… when i was about 14… good old times

[@corralescoyote]

I’m so glad they had the good fortune to hit Top 40 radio with this song… that’s how I found out the rest of their stuff. 😅

[@JulianRestrepo-tp7ij]

i grow up with this beautiful song it is an iconic love song

[@xanajak]

This song was everywhere, everyday, months on end. It has aged well 30+ years later.

[@adi-ndr]

one of the songs to learn guitar with, back in the day. another great composition (I think) is Song For Love.

[@LordEagle]

There's only one way to ROCK. 💥💥💥😎

[@HeadBanger66]

To listen to Nunos guitar work in the early stages listen to Smoke Signals or Play With Me the best to sit back and listen to

[@ronstoner1823]

This song and their other song, Whole Hearted, were a couple of my favorites back in the day. They were a fantastic band.

[@subliminallime4321]

There was a rumor that this record was one of the most returned to stores when it came out because people bought it for this song & then the rest of the songs were metal. I don't know if it's true though. Great song.

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

Dear sweet biscuit I enjoy listening to your reactions because you don't interrupt the song too much so I get to actually enjoy it with you that is a good thing and I do love your action but it mostly I love the fact that you do not interfere with the song as it's going through very little how old is much like enjoying it with you the first time you hear it thank you very much

[@6anthony8]

One of my favorite songs!! Makes me tear up- it’s a classic

[@gsgk9674]

Yes, they're great. I told you Biss ;) Gary is great on vocal, Nuno shreds on guitar. They did an oustanding job at Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

[@clifton8929]

It's always nice to see The Bright Angel Miss Biss enjoying a song and giving us a smile. Have a wonderful 2024, and thank you for all your hard work.

[@kevin982]

This song i believe was well out of their wheelhouse. They like i said before, i believe, were a punk rock band.

[@russelljoslinjr4387]

I remember this song shaking things up. A different direction for music at that time.

[@FloydLeCuyel]

They’re singing style, reminds me of the righteous Brothers, very in sync, and very nice to listen to

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Loved it when it came out and still love it today.

[@charlesreeves3959]

If you wanna rock out with Extreme check out Their song Get The Funk Out. It kicks butt!!!!! Or check out The singer Gary Cherone singing for Van Halen. He was with them for only a short time but they rocked out. The record he did with them was Van Halen III. THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS AMAZING.

[@caphowdy666]

Nah, most people would disagree with that. I don't think it's a good idea to check anything out on that album when there is so many Roth and Hagar songs she has not checked yet (has she even checked out any of the Hagar stuff yet?). To each their own and all that, and you are entitled to like what you like, but that album was not received well by fans.

[@dazo69]

This is a great song AND you got to see one of the greatest guitar players in the universe - a guitarists guitarist.

[@MrRolemaster]

Extreme were HUGE Queen Fans, and this song, and the fact that its all accoustic, was inspired by Queens 'Love of my Life'. They were even invited to the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert for Aids Awareness after Freddie died. At that concert, Sir Brian May said 'These guys understand what Queen was all about all these years, and what Freddie was all about all these years.' I dont think there is higher praise in the Music industry.

[@metoo7557]

This is a sappy ballad, and it's a great sappy ballad if that's your thing. Hole hearted - Extreme is a little more upbeat and less sappy, if you want a song that's not going to bring you down.

[@EnervatedSociety]

This song would not go away when it came out. It's more likable to me today honestly. The nostalgia factor. I never could get into this band beyond a song or two, that I can't remember the names of right now. Even with Bettencourt, who I know is a kick butt guitarist.

[@SoloArt8250]

One of my favorite rock bands but they are very versatile musicians. I just heard a song today from another channel called “get the funk out” in which I didn’t know it was them,,,,totally awesome!

[@Roegwon]

🎶More than words...Is all you have to do to make it real...Then you wouldn't have to say...That you love me❤'Cause I'd already know🎶

[@gregleblanc9357]

Really Great song. I knew it was going to go onto my all time favorites list the first time I heard it when it came out.

[@drakoreyes5889]

Esta es la canción mas hermosa para dedicar a alguien que amas❤.....

[@BlackieNuff]

I love the message of this song - that those "three little words" are fine and all, but can become empty and meaningless without actions to back them up. Even if the words are never uttered, it doesn't mean the love is not there, cos it's more important that the love is SHOWN than merely said. That's how I roll, lol... I'm more inclined to DO things that show it than just say it.

[@nathanpadilla213]

Oh wow. Don't really see Extreme reactions very often. Good choice here. There's an album called "Monster Ballads" all 80s songs. Totally worth listening to on a rainy day.

[@AndICanTalk2]

Fantastic song, and a wonderful reaction. Glad you enjoyed this.

[@doorofnight87]

I've heard the song before, never knew the name of the group. A beautiful song and I liked your reaction!

[@jasonetheridge2349]

An extremely underrated band. 'Get the funk out' has possibly the most complete /perfect guitar solo ever written. Even if you don't react, give it a listen. Mind blowing. Nuno is a genius.

[@planojag595]

Even the great Brian May admires that solo.

[@Derayne33]

Check out ‘Hole Hearted’ from them. Another great vibe from them

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

Recommend: Extreme. The song is Other Side of the Rainbow. After watching your reaction, I checked out their latest and I love it. Official video.😊😊

[@avisumi2225]

One of my favorite song 😍

[@MikeBUSA]

This is the song that broke Extreme up for many years. They had created a monster. It smothered every other song they wrote. To casual fans, their sets were only two things - More Than Words and songs that were not More Than Words. It became too much for them. Gary Cherone (the guy on the left) went on to sing for Van Halen for about 10 minutes. Nuno (the guy on the right) went on to become one of the most highly respected guitar players on the planet - even playing the Super Bowl halftime time show with Rhianna. If you really want to see what Extreme is made of, check out Decadence Dance. If you want to see what Nuno can really do, check out Rise - one of the most impressive solos in rock history (in my opinion).

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Beautiful song

Kid ego. Great Extreme song
