Extreme - Rest In Peace

Music video by Extreme performing Rest In Peace. (C) 1992 A&M Records

[@sidewindergoogle1295]

Did anyone really realize the magnitude of talent in Extreme? I also maintain that Nuno is possibly one of the most technically exquisite musicians of many years.

[@deceiver444]

And "Three Sides To Every Story" one of the very best rock albums released in the 90'

[@jcmcgough]

I'm a bass player, and a slave to the groove. Nuno is THE best groove guitarist.

[@rhoadsgilbertfan4125]

@J. Colin-DONT forget Dimebag Darrell. Dime basically created groove metal

[@Anadorado88]

Nuno is so talented and GORGEOUS 🤩

[@SKarthikeyan75]

@@jcmcgough Same here. Love Nuno as a bass player. He grooves, his fillers kill while never really overpowering the song itself (as van halen's sometimes do) and the melodic content in his solo. YUM! Also Pat Padger is no slouch on the bass. He is playing his 8th note role here, but on Cupid's dead, he matches Nuno note for note.

[@xzombielar]

The Guitar tone that Nuno has is insane, he is a magician as well as a master musician

[@deceiver444]

[@AD-ui2pz]

Nuno’s guitar tone is actually cleaner than you think for most of the verses - like he was describing about Ed’s tone getting cleaner over the first 6 albums of VH in his opinion

[@Angelic_Storm]

If there was any justice in the world, III Sides To Every Story would be widely regarded as one of the classic albums of all time. This album should have propelled Extreme into the stratosphere, and the fact it didn't just shows what a state popular music has become in the last 20 or so years. But for me, this album showed Extreme at the very peak of the powers, unleashing a classic album onto the world, that sadly wasn't recognised at the time for it's greatness like it should have been. :(

[@StormyMalaise]

+Angelic Storm I agree. That album embodied the times, and the essence of a generation. The skill, talent and compassion that composed every song on the album is exceptional! For me it's an all time favorite.

[@AGoat1971]

+Angelic Storm Agree. It was just so amazing. From the 'heavy' beginning of the record to the orchestra laden ending -- it was just so fantastic on every level. Rhythm section, vocals, harmonies, and Nuno's amazing guitar work -- all in top form.

[@SuperBenblake]

+Angelic Storm Their best album I agree! We have to look at Extreme, though, because they never got the respect or following they deserved to have. They had one huge hit in "More Than Words" and then they followed that album up with this absolute masterpiece and it sunk into the bargain section. I don't think people knew how much irony and also full out truth there is in the lyrics, how Nuno's playing is unique and not copying anyone, how the harmonies were inspired by Queen with a lead voice inspired by soul. They came and were not here long enough. Music went terrible in the last 20 years and there are a lot of things to blame. It was gonna come. The end was gonna happen and the ceiling was gonna cave in eventually, but that is horrible and not anything I like to dwell upon. I want to find some musicians who can help me record my ideas. I've sung for the past 13 years and studied guitar heavily for 23. Everyone hated me for loving this album. Cynical and stupid world ain't it?

[@5664788]

Benjamin Blake Mitchner I'm a musician for as many years as you,..& you said all of that just perfect,...everything you wrote is exactly how I feel.

[@SuperBenblake]

5664788 Thank you. Extreme were destroyed by the industry and by ignorance of the public. I don't know if my music career can go anywhere with my serious illnesses. I push myself to do things like when I was a lot younger than now, but it can't be like that anymore. I first heard this album when I was 18 I think. I was blown away by it. I love their music they write great melodies and songs. Your comment really picked me up in a big way and a huge thanks!

[@blossomgonzales7410]

Started listening to Extreme at 15. I just listened to all their albums 25 yrs later and I just realized their music had quality compared to most hair bands of the late 80's and early 90's. My 40 yr old ears can certainly hear some influences of Bowie, Queen, Led Zep in their songs. What amazes me more is they've managed to stay together and are still actually creating more songs. That's real talent and true test of character there.😊😊

[@SteveKaynan]

Very well said! Probably my favorite solo by Nuno. The follow up album, 95s Waiting for the Punchline is also so underrated. Times changed in the 90s, and Extreme unfortunately had to try and get away from their biggest hit "More than Words" and with the shift change of the industry it was impossible. Saw Extreme live at House of Blues 2015, best concert I've ever seen!!

[@geriland5]

LOVE this solo. My favorite too and second favorite is the solo in Get the Funk Out.

[@MatteoPrezioso]

[@Jartisann]

Because it is niche! This band only deserves the trained ears! Like yours and mine!

Life is short and we can do better as people with more love and harmony. God bless to all.

[@dancallahan4183]

Well also, "Make love, not war" comes with it's own issues in a world of scarcity. Outside of the potential for famine and such, it eventually will lead to wars over sources of food and water in its own time. That's what the video is showing: the eventual war over resources - very Ayn Rand

Not only a great song - But a great song with heart, soul, and meaning. Think how true those words can still ring today. As a long time fan of Chicago ( The Terry Kath Era ) they also wrote music with meaning about love, peace, and caring for the Earth as a whole. They did so in some very rough times of the late 60's and early 70's. This song to me parallels that same spirit in many ways. It kicks ass as a rock song. Great band.
