What is that red semi-hollow bass?

[@rrefalo]

@@ryanbutler74 That is a custom build done by a local luthier, that one is the prototype for a new model that he builds. I picked all the options, wood, finish, electronics, 32" scale, inlays, etc. Wonderful bass, lucky to have it! Thanks!

[@ryanbutler74]

@@rrefalo very cool! I play a Yamaha BEX-BS that looks very similar and the Waterstone TP-4 & TP-12. Can’t beat a good semi-hollow. I’m always stoked to see what you’re playing in the vids.

[@robertcuratolo5339]

🤠👍 This song turned out really good LLB

[@gagslovedotcom]

Those guitars sound MASSIVE !!!

[@bigboithe8th]

Damn! I’m convinced there isn’t a band or song on this planet that LLB can’t replicate to perfection. Awesome!

[@cousineddie7898]

These folks are the bomb, that's for sure.

[@felinemad]

Agreed.

[@MoFernandez]

Still waiting they covering UFO

[@jasonpalmer4562]

Right!

[@oldwest517]

When they did their recent interview videos about the history of the band, I asked whether there was anyone they would like to do but haven't because they didn't think they could pull it off -- whichever band member responded gave me a list of some artists in that category, some not surprising and some surprising to me. That's musical integrity when you could probably get a lot of views by covering a famous artist but choose not to because you don't think you could do it justice.

[@daveditcher4059]

I am in awe here. Three 12 strings playing on one song? Marvelous vocal harmonies. Man, it sounds like 10 guitars playing and a whole choir on the chorus. Wow.

[@resipsaloquitur854]

The wonder and magic of three 12-string acoustics, combined with those vocals. What a sound. Great, great job!

[@oneperson7013]

Probably one of the most wholesome and entertaining versions I've ever heard. Hats off to you, LLB.

[@oneperson7013]

@@XregionalX HUSH! Lest thee offend the gods! 🤫

[@suicidalpornstar8091]

That was Extremely awesome!

[@jkxelor1295]

Hahaha

[@bassnbrim]

I saw what you did there 😅

[@mrmongo656]

Word.

[@smirkingsheep141]

The Hole enchilada!

[@kevinrainforth851]

3 12-string guitars, plus Jessica on backing vocals? What more could anyone ask for! Once again a beautiful job, LLB!

[@FlightData101]

There’s no better sound than a chorus of twelve strings accompanying a chorus of great voices! Randy kills it on bass too. Great job folks. 👍

[@scottficklin2254]

@JJ Oliver, The last time I’ve seen this many 12 strings in one place was at a bluegrass festival.

[@rterry731]

good God the 12 strings and harmonies... no weak spots... and superb vocals .. everyone .. thanks you

[@MrOlderandwiser]

The level of perfection you guys attain is just breath taking. I have never heard a cover band better than LLB.

[@gmb858]

I think of them as re-creators, not covers. Cover bands generally are stuck on one group or genre. Sometimes they have one guy in the band that sounds a little like Stevie Ray Vaughan or shreds like Eddie Van Halen. The range of music that LLB creates is astounding. Arrangement and talent are matched to bring out the best of the music.

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

I genuinely hope the guys in Extreme see this. Awesome job.

[@fourdoorglory5945]

Thanks for all the joy you bring into my life LLB❤!

[@Fsilvacanada]

This song is a master piece of the twelve strings. The atmosphere and Nuno’s arrangement were unique

[@briandick2027]

Well now... wasn't that FUN?? What a great way to start my day. This is just brilliant! There isn't anything that LLB can't handle!

[@philipknight6204]

Such attention to detail. It's breath taking.

[@rwsmith7]

I am never disappointed when an LLB notification arrives! Wow, I think your harmonies in this were better than Extreme's original! The 12-strings sounded absolutely amazing! Perfect choices for every musician and crew involved in this one, LLB. Don't change a thing! Congratulations 👏 👏 👏

[@nelsonward7981]

Vandy, the MIX is amazing. I'm at a loss for adjectives for how good the mix is, no less the performance is breathtaking.

[@MyVideoCollection]

Loved this so much I played it 5 times in a row....

[@BenBreed-2007synthguy]

WOW!! Well done! I saw Extreme live at the Hard Rock cafe, and I must say that you guys knocked this out of the park! I was convinced that only Extreme could sound this good, but this is pretty close! Great job guys!

[@Trains-With-Shane]

I used to listen to this song all the time as this CD was the one that spent the most time in my car's radio back in the late 90's while i'd commute to and from work. And as such every beat, word, harmony, etc. is carved into my memory. And wow this is such a faithful cover that it took me right back there. Another masterfully done job by the LLB!

[@josephsantoro375]

Such an awesome rendition of this Extreme tune !!! The playing and vocals are absolutely fabulous !!! Just another great job by an immensely gifted and talented group of musicians putting out wonderful music time and again.... Bravo everyone !!! ♥️🎶👏👏👏

[@jrsmoots]

Oh my that was goodness!

[@FastHatTrick]

Not even my favorite song that they do... but its my favorite song that they do. Know what I mean... I love you that you exist and the people you bring in and out of the lab to get it done.

[@petermay7533]

I've listened to every LLB song ever posted. The instrumental tracks (drums up through the guitars) are always super solid (understatement). This song demonstrates amazing vocals. Vocal tonality / timbre is very hard to replicate. The interplay of the lead vocal and the supporting male vocal is just great. Then, the female vocals are just perfect. My understanding is that this is done across minimal takes. I get that there is prep etc but just want to confirm how really really good this is. And, btw, Extreme is not really my thing. But, LLB surely is. 🙂

[@b0bsanders626]

Great job 👍 has anyone stopped to think what this song is about ? Hearing this song done well and knowing what this song is about is a great way to start your day

[@wushock92]

OMG that was amazing. Closing my eyes, I could see the LLB gang singing around a fire pit after a barbeque.

[@arsbadmojo]

HA!!! I had NO idea how tasty the bass line is until I watched the run @2:18 and then I had to re-listen to the whole song... and hot damn!! The vocals are so tight. Great job!!!

[@jerrybach1234]

OK I've Never seen this done with Not One , Not Two, BUT Three 12 String Guitars!!!! BRAVO!! STANDING OVATION!!! Fricken Amazing!!!!

[@averyteplitsky885]

Super-fantastique, and I'm not even French, LOL!! Extreme is so very underrated, but that's part of what makes them so great! Plus, Nuno B.'s a true six-string master and your multi-pronged guitar attack did him very proudly on this excellent cover. Well done! P.S., impeccable vocals, bass and percussion work as always. Highly impressed!!😊

[@msiddhartho]

That chorus gave me the chills.

[@IrishJimmyPA]

Those guys are excellent vocalists.

[@bruschmidt9943]

I loved this song during its heyday Summer '91. Amazing acoustic sound & harmonizing. You guys gave me chills all over, absolutely AMAZING performance. The only thing missing was the long hair on the guys LoL. Thank you for giving this song new Life. It's currently at the top of my Play List.. As good as the original in every way .. Repeat 🔁 Repeat!

[@johnmichael7983]

I'm literally giddy, just heard one of my favorite songs done to perfection, and then some. Whew!

[@chuckmcdonald8849]

Southeast Michigan says hell yes !!

[@ericingram7864]

I believe this might be the best cover you folks have done yet. It's a fantastic song (extreme was horribly overlooked by so many) these vocals are so so good. (as is the music). just wow

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Those 12 strings sound soooo good. Excellent voices...... Very very good.

[@memorywarrior8752]

Last year I congratulated you on keeping the 12 strings in tune, but since I have had a chance to listen to your cover a good few times, I just want to say that this is seriously an excellent cover. Well done Lexington Lab Band, I hope you are all doing well.

[@chanceoldham]

Awesome as Usual!!!

[@Canalcoholic]

Smashed the ‘like’ button in the first 30 seconds, and now listening for the sixth time. Bloody brilliant!

[@marcelolopes1347]

Brilliant, Perfect, Awesome. There are not enough adjectives to describe it.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Boom. Just like that! That's how it's done. LLB nails it again.

[@mrjonnymac]

Something I admire about LLB is their choice of vocalist. They almost always match the vocal style of the original with their own signature. It's the A+ factor for me.

[@kristhompson772]

One of if not thee best covers of a song I've ever heard!!!

[@memorywarrior8752]

Kudos alone for keeping the 3 12 strings in tune!

[@scottcollins5060]

I never thought that this song could sound better. But, after I heard the version that you did, I was so blown away with the way you did it, that I called all my friends and family to tell them to listen to the way your played it this song. They called me to let me know that it was better version, because of the women's vocal edge that made it even better. Just want to say, Freeway Jam!!!! JEFF BECK!!! I FAVORITE GUITARIST RIDE THE NEXT LIFE YOUR WAY!!!!

[@bugmandu1]

Been jumping back and forth between LLB and Extreme....Fun!!.

[@michaelharvey7613]

Magic smile machine strikes again. Thank you so very much.😊

[@brianmedway9444]

Perfection personified.

[@curtis-thebicentennialist1776]

This particular group should be covering some John Fogerty and CCR too. Excellent!

[@pierrebelliveau6494]

To the Moon and back......AWESOME !!!

[@thabilldozer]

My brother Chuck worked with Extreme on the production of this album, and the video for this song. And I've got to say that you guys did an amazing job on this one

[@jimrobinson5041]

Simply amazing, you guys bring back so many great memories!! All that was missing were Cam Neely and Lyndon Byers. =D

[@jankendehond]

Excellent!!!!

[@Jonbwriter]

OMG, wow! Excellent harmonies between the guys and everybody! And don't get me started on all the excellent guitar playing. Extreme - the band - would be very proud.

[@harbselectronicslab3551]

I was going to say you just get better and better......but its hard to do that when you are the best already.......

[@primeministerofredneckistan]

Rad!!!

[@michaelarcangel3694]

The ladies touch just made that song sooo much better!

[@mjtconsulting]

Jess (on the right) is a southern belle..❤.. Check out her singing on Led Zeppelin "Ramble on"...

[@kb9oak749]

I've listened to this song by Extreme hundreds of times as a younger guy. Very well done!

[@LucianoZarbano]

This is a great song. LLB nailed it.

[@MrRocking4ever]

fantastic cover by great musicians, the right singers for this song and fantastic backing vocals !!!

[@TheChef470]

Spot on.....and I've followed these guys since their grungy club days : )

[@kimmie-kat]

WOW WOW WOW!!! One of your best yet! (I know…. I say that every time but it’s TRUE! )

[@nelsonward7981]

Extremely good!

[@cactuscanuck6802]

Wow, not one but THREE 12 string guitars... fantastic sound and energy!

[@oldbandguy]

Well this one jumps right into the LLB top 10! It inspires me to start a Go Fund Me to get the drummer a complete set with a throne!!!

[@dbs555]

As a fellow 12 string player of many years/ 1970-present, well done, lads.

[@dfmcintyre129]

36 strings of magic!

[@tonylayfield8750]

Bloody hell... talk about leg stomping / toe tapping goodness personified. Hat's off to you all for a truly excellent rendition.

[@josezerpa8177]

A thousand times thank you!

Another diamond from LLB .

[@ljhookem14]

Love the sound of a 12-string. Such great musicianship here and amazing lead vocals. LLB is amazing…I can’t get enough of the videos an always look forward to the new released videos.

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely love the 12-strings in here. All the vocals are really well done.

[@jangoosen5407]

LLB, outstanding! You go from strength to strength ❤

[@bigdogaxis]

Brilliant, clean as a whistle. The harmonies were superb as was the tempo and production. Fantastic performance and arrangement.

[@bigdogaxis]

This has been rolling around in my head. Had to come back for another listen.

[@EuniMatt]

I remember back in the day I had a 45 RPM with this song, I heard it on the radio and my mouth dropped. Like, what is that ? THe harmonies on the original have been flawlessly recreated with this. I am totally in awe of this. Now it won't be that hard to recreate "More than Words" to round out pretty much ALL of the Extreme hits ever. And that 45 had "More than Words" on the back side. I love this! I am going to have to share this with everyone.

[@dazzlernator]

I won't lie, this was immensely satisfying to listen to. You nailed the harmonies with this and I reckon Gary and Nuno would be delighted to hear it.

[@tim8767]

My speakers are happy!

[@rameye]

Outstanding job guys on one of my favs! I see Zofo is making a comeback! Rock on fellas (and lovely ladies)..

[@rusty9129]

Once again, the LLB brings a level of professionalism and heart to the project. I got to see Extreme do this live back when the song was new and I must say you all have captured each subtle nuance just perfectly. Thanks for your tireless efforts...you are appreciated!!

[@daveflanagan4213]

Brilliant. Acoustic perfection.

[@russsiesel6677]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!

[@danjimmie0704]

Y'all just Extremed Extreme!!! Crazy tasty tribute!!! Cheers!!!

[@sky173]

Amazing cover. My old band and I used to go around the city and play this song during jam nights at different bars. The early 90's were so fun. Awesome video and thanks for bringing back some great memories.

[@harveyklatzko3461]

Harmonies are outrageously fantastic......

[@philhatfield2282]

Man, I LOVE the sounds of those guitars! 12 strings have such a luxurious sound. Well done!

[@drummerman1964]

Sweet Jesus...this is so good ! Showcase the beauty of male voices...just WOW !

Killed it again! Wow! What a great way to start the morning! Thank you!

You're making music of my childhood worth listening to again

[@randyreading8317]

12 string guitars have been one of my favorite sounds, which is why I gravitate to this song. This version is perfect, better than the original !

[@Topgunphoto]

Great local band from Boston, loved this song back in its day. Nicely done.
