[@bigo1223]

The rest of the world never caught on to Extreme and how AWESOME they are! Nuno is a musical genius and a guitar GOD! Nice HD transfer! I hope to see a lot more Extreme in HD!!!

[@MrJonnywannab]

The drummer is Mike Mangini of Dream Theater,Vai and others😊

[@tonypowell250]

Thought he sounded a bit too good.

[@musiclovingmetalhead7085]

MrJonnywannab you sure? The cymbals aren’t ten feet above his head...yet

[@burgnie]

The one who is blamed to have "lack of feel". Which is totally nonsense. As can be heard here.

[@plojon]

I like MM as extreme drummer. But I don't like when MM in DT

[@Noxchiborz146]

you have no idea how happy you made me with this upload . my favorite band of all time

[@kristyh6391]

I remember being a senior in H.S. watching this. I still love it just as much now as I did then! ❤

[@sidnyeli1]

i was there, awesome. cracking double bass drumming from the mangini, an Nuno loks like he's constantly lookin for the next bottle o piss to be thrown his way. top band!

[@x-casper8910]

Mike Mangini on the drum...

[@voccsaycee30]

VHS HiFi stereo, gotta love it (the highest fidelity consumer recording format of all time, by a mile)...thank you!

[@florianrau4091]

Speechless. What. A. Band.

[@MarioBohorquezE]

When grunge was taking over they still had the energy that one else did!!!! And still hasn't!

[@econgblues626]

this video is just EPIC

[@wrigleyx]

02:05 LOL !!

[@JonathanAnon]

To be fair to Nuno, he nailed the solo live and on a big occasion .. and that's one of his toughest..

[@shredd5705]

Toughest? Not really. For example Money (In God We Trust) is goddamn insane compared to Warheads. Plenty of Warheads covers in KZbin by bedroom guitarists, no one dares to even try the Money solo. Hell, playing Midnight Express (the acoustic song) alone is harder than this solo

[@kinkinmyslinky967]

Wow! Awesome live band. Mike’s a monster on drums.

[@snakerman2612]

Little did they know they had the best drummer on the planet playing with them

[@Aeronaut1975]

They're on fire. Nuno's a fucking beast, incredible chops and backing vocals. My only criticism here is that Gary sounds a bit like he's shouting. Great video though, thanks for posting!

[@RunFool]

Nuno has always been my guitar god will remain so. Extreme is my favorite band. Gary is great in the studio but I have never seen him do well live.....well maybe he did better at the "Take Us Alive" concert.

[@coldmystery6754]

Very true but at least he knows he can't and at least makes up for it by rockin out. Gary in the 2013-2014 sounds effing great.

[@jedsebastian]

gary makes me laugh, he's just different from the other's, he does stunts, dancing, karate, almost everything on stage hahaha

[@arkaitzcarrasco2216]

To many things.... forgetting to sing in pitch and time 🙄

[@paulbennett9272]

I'm in that crowd! 🤘🤘

[@BURNOUT3272]

for anyone confused for why gary's singing is so raspy and he seems to be yelling rather than screaming at some points, it was probably to make them sound "heavier" to try to stop the piss cartons and angry "fans"

[@simonc1uk]

I love Gary, but have you heard Van Halen 3? He's raspy and trying too hard throughout

[@kevgamble]

Great comment. From the set list to the delivery, they were clearly aiming to tame/win over the crowd with a lot of aggression front-loaded into the set. If we watch the video of the entire show, we see Gary nailing it all across the set, so this isn't representative. By the time they got to "More Than Words" late in the set, they had the crowd on their side and clapping along with it. Some people look at one short moment of something without context and think they understand. Thanks for giving a different view.

[@simonc1uk]

@@kevgamble I just saw an Extreme interview where Gary said he had vocal polyps in '94 and that affected his signing. Food for thought

[@sidnyeli1]

don't think he's ever used triggers, thats a remo kit, mastertouch bass drums and roto tom toms, 6" 8" 10 12 to etc to 18" . 24" bass drum and dw pedals. he now plays pearl " with normal toms"! simply stunning. clever guy.

[@magnetmedia]

Awesome transfer from VHS dude. Looks and sounds amazing.

[@johnanderson2112]

That solo is absolutely sick!

[@livers2451]

Whose here in 2023 🤘🤘🤘❤

[@rumpelstiltzkin]

brilliant on HD! Thanks!

[@BeatN4]

Awesome video and really nice transfer to HD. Thx Tobleronetwo ;-)

[@luvisacigarette8]

great vid. the first notes gary tried to hit definitely came in a little flat

[@ryangunwitch-black]

That's what happens when you cut your hair.

[@Nikyske]

Nuno has magic fingers.. love him

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

This is the best live performance of Warheads and Nuno Bettencourt is the best guitarist 🎸 in the world ♥️

[@Skibble5150]

What an incredibly amazing live band!!! Fucking smokin'!!! FUCK YEAH!

[@KingTabor]

Great footage, Nuno rocks as his band!

[@testcardgirl26]

omg, did I just find gold? thanks for upload it. +.+

[@timelordaxl7]

i hope they come back to the UK soon, would LOVE to see them live!!!!

[@Requiem_304]

Crazy how Mike was in Extreme and now Dream Theater! Mike Mangini has drummed for both thrash and hair metal lmao

[@thundersnow93]

Mangini sounds amazing on drums (those double-bass parts!). BG vocals sounds great, but perhaps Gary is eating the mic too much because his voice sounds rather distorted.

[@angryagain3801]

This is a dynamic earth shaking performance

[@demetriussamuel8985]

sounds just like the record Nuno doesn’t miss a single note 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@fatimacristinadasilvamello8838]

Amazing!

[@TOBLERONETWO]

Donnington '94 Headbangers Ball MTV special, aired 2 weeks after the show.

[@HevyDevy101]

I'm a long time fan of Extreme but I have always maintained that Gary's voice never does that well when they play LIVE

[@AxelNight13]

everytime i see this,it reminds me why nuno is my number one fave guitarist.

[@casey90210666]

tresures from VHS! I would love to see more live / interview stuff from 90´s european Headbangers Ball.

[@dossman6]

Garys hair for president

[@secondcitysin]

N4 Padauk Stain (may be wrong)but it's definitely not the N2 because of the upgraded neck.

[@Gritsen]

mike mangini has an amazing control of dynamics. Just check those most intense fills! @ 3:30

[@TOBLERONETWO]

Octagon7 vids are unbelievable!

[@rhythmista7707]

A young Mike Mangjni pummeling that drum kit to sawdust..

[@ice9001]

Thanks mate these are great posts very few people got MTV here in the Uk then not like today when its shit lol . We used to get videos of headbangers ball someone who had satelite tv made but never got this . Hope you have more like this somewhere lol . Did you ever see octogon7 `s vids I am sure you did they are pretty cool .

[@mitchell.wong.922]

annnnnd we are here after Mike s fb post....... 11 years late

[@bwmckenna1]

@TOBLERONETWO glad you enjoyed. they r the shit .

[@Mariofan7]

This was the firs live with Mike Mangini at drums, right?

[@videotopia1550]

Great upload - thanks. Shame Gary feels the need to shout all the way through this performance.

[@Manito275]

are those sandals Gary is wearing?

[@clintusmaximus]

holy shit thats such a good song!

[@eddiemuniz443]

Spellbinding,flawless,I think their working on an album for frontier records.They were managed by ray Daniels 10 years ago.could they write another colossal piece like HOLEHEARTED???

[@KingTabor]

great footage THX!

[@ice9001]

These are great I have a couple on dvd from the Videografitti release but were did you get these .

[@guitarrilho502]

Mangini is kicking ass damn

[@liamtahaney713]

wow the level of bagginess in this video is absurd

[@dimebag77]

i was @ donington and they played amazing! even if there was a huge plastic bottle and bog roll fight! the biggest and most dangerous ive ever since! it was great even if the crowd didtn get why they were there!

[@BrunoSirilo]

1:53 LOL hahhahahah

[@BURNOUT3272]

+BrunoSirilo lol i just noticed the way mike was singing with him haha

[@frehleysboots]

I was there for this- they didnt have the best gig ever this day! They played a few songs from "waiting for the punchline " which went down like a ham sandwich in a bar mitzvah! Gary got really pissed with the crowd, and it was kinda downhill from there. I 'd seen them dozens of times before this show, and it was a real contrast to what I had seen previously- shame really

[@largesam72]

too extreme for words!

[@flyboy198428]

What brand guitar is nuno playing?? :-)

[@iwantagoodnameplease]

I love how rubbish Gary is live in loads of videos ;) He just seems to shout lots and be out of rbeath from jumping around, hahah. also: it transfered really well. nice quality for a vhs.

[@BOBPOPROCK]

@neetnums1969 i think it was not the right stage for such a band, with such sound what u say?

[@beatlettese]

Gary: sensual movement of the pelvis at the minute 1:53 😂 😂 😂 😍 😍 😍

[@ice9001]

YEH AIN`T THAT THE TRUTH I was at one of the gigs in the one of the videos man it was a great night hard to believe it was around 18 years ago lol .

[@Mahavishnu80]

people have forgotten about extreme and nuno man. paul gilbert has so many fanboys but in the early 90s nuno was THE guitarist IMO.

[@GuillermoMayer]

Wow con Nuno Bettencourt!

[@ninofunka1106]

Still convince Nuno told Mangini at the beginning : not that fast!

[@cliffvbajo]

NUNO is a great player and composer

[@techn0l0gyfreak]

Fing rock and roll, Nuno made a pact!

[@ice9001]

Agreed .

[@guilhermebsr]

Oh thanks for this fucking video post!

[@unchained_0177]

I want to know the drummers name

[@unchained_0177]

Thanks !!!

[@Hellwyck]

The headstock says Washburn.

[@VVidow]

That move at 2:43, hahahaha

[@scotwells7573]

Nuno is better than EVH.

[@karlsalocks]

Easily

[@juliantoriadi3155]

i like nuno very much..nuno is a talented player..but you can't compare him to evh..evh is just like a teacher to other guitarists after him..so many many guitarists learned evh style and they respcet him as a great player..and maybe nuno also put some respect to him..so i think it's unnecessarily compare both of them..

[@orsonortheastern1590]

the portuguese axeman is an unstoppable warchine ;D

[@tonypowell250]

Damn right he is.

[@brianmcgonigal229]

Just his tone... Dam

[@monno2600]

Has nuno scalloped frets?

[@sebastiaan.visser]

No

[@tobethebestican]

their golden age

[@joesatriani2006]

yeah and he is super flexible!

[@bicubedesign]

NUNO KING THEN AND KING TODAY

[@alwlssksks3376]

Gary❤

[@fahmih6557]

Like funky kopral from Indonesia. 😊

[@bibbinsbird]

I was there too, and got hit by one or two plastic bottles. I was standing next to Brian May!! ( Don't know if he got hit too! )

[@wrigleyx]

Ze young Nuno!

[@point-bl4nk]

Mike Mangini!

[@gunswills85]

they dint go down like lead balloon i was there to mate they had their own crowd

[@flyboy198428]

@secondcitysin thnx you were right :-)

[@pooritech]

Could you pleaaaaaaaase torrent it or up it any how! too awsome!

[@bisrimustofa4067]

Band bagus , kualitas vokal sangat bagus ..... bassist nya mantebbbb ,...... Gitarisnya jangan ditanya , salah satu gitaris terbaik ( Brian May aja ngakuin ) Satu yang agak kurang gue suka : STAGE PRESENCE Vokalis nya .... Terutama nge dance nya yang agak gimana gituuu😅

[@Aryanpars]

ur video is sharpened too much, i would reduced the sharpening a bit and run another round of denoiser

[@lvl99ultrathug]

I don't think he's doing it on purpose though. To me, he sounds hoarse throughout most of the Donnington set, except for MTW.

[@terrydevaney8601]

Extreme metal show... Single going crazy.. caffeine

[@2patero]

NUNO ONE FUNKY MUNKY!

[@elpenza]

nunoooooooooo!!!!!!

[@felipess2679]

nuno god

[@Hellwyck]

They were after Pantera and before Aerosmith... Not the best place for them to be fair.

[@josephlasuh4582]

the drummer is paul geary

[@x-casper8910]

not paul but mike mangini....

[@luzier13x]

Joseph Lasuh mangini.

[@sidnyeli1]

yeah, much to my annoyance they got bombarded with bottles o pee and allsorts. had to move from the front to the back cos of it. still brill tho.
