[@tedcabana]

My good friend, Bill Hayes, was a longtime childhood best friend of Gary's. Sadly, Bill died of an undiagnosed heart condition a few years ago. But... not to bring you people down. Bill was very proud of his good friend Gary. And I was very happy to have know him. Bill was also a school teacher. And an all-over wonderful guy! Because of Bill, I would go see Extreme many times live at the "Living Room" in Providence. An awesome club, that unfortunately is no longer there. Some of my best 1980's memories. Thank you Bill, and thank you Gary, for all the 80's teenage memories. Keep on Killing it!

Did Bill know Gary was a flamer?

[@tedcabana]

I don't know. I can't ask Bill, because he is dead. But I doubt Gary is a flamer. It's so easy to be a "Flaming Asshole" behind the guise of anonymity. You're everything wrong with this world. But for some strange reason, I like you. Because you are so closet GAY!

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Such an underrated band. Nuno is still one of my favourite guitarists of all time, the guy really deserves more credit than he ever got

[@johnp5351]

Well he has got credit in a sense , he has been Rhiannas musical director and lead guitar on every tour she has ever done , not a bad day job

[@DaveDexterMusic]

Extreme - kings of the 80s, featured in Bill and Ted, huge singles - are not fucking underrated.

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

[@jasonelliott66]

I said the first day I listened to this album, that these guys had the best harmonies of any of the bands of this era. And you are 100% correct...there are no bands today that even come close to being able to pull this kind of stuff off!!

[@marvinveeder5623]

Check out Kings X

[@EpicmonkeYT]

More than words completely caught a different fan base, as a 37 Yr old I wish I seen these guys in this era, these guys along with slaughter, where brilliant, the vocals and guitars where unbelievable

Nuno is one of the greatest live guitarists, and who understands a bit of music and guitar, he knows it well!

[@rocktoast]

Nuno is fucking awesome!!!!!

[@guitarzan8671]

when i first heard this song i said to myself, who the fuck is this?......he was on the cover of guitar for the practicing musician right after that rightfully so........kicks ass

What a dumb comment. A bit of music? Sit down fool.

[@lucamaras01]

[@murraymiller4321]

He is simply one of the most talented guitarist ever

[@Zenn-lg8fj]

I never noticed how much Van Halen is in his guitar tone this song...that and his 4x12 cabinets look just like Ed’s from the first couple Van Halen tours...Love it...

[@1chancellor1]

Check out his interview w Dweezil Zappa - Unchained was his direct influence for this song

[@larrycrabs5995]

​@1chancellor1 You definitely can hear it. Especially when he hits the flanger pedal for emphasis on certain parts, just like in Unchained.

I really wish this video included the intro solo, that solo is so heavy

[@tis4657]

As long ago as it was, the fact that alternative became more preferred to the mainstream to this day still burns my ass. The guitar work in these kinds of songs gives me goosebumps and doesn’t even compare

[@MeDecade]

Absolutely one of their best songs. Love the harmony vocals on the chorus. Great stuff. Contains a lot of elements sorely lacking from today's rock music.

[@WhatsCookingTime]

extreme sadly was lost like warrant slaughter coming to late in awesome best 80s rock 89 to 91 then sadly grunge3 if these guys came out say 86 . still an awesome band

[@jasonelliott66]

Nuno getting absolutely twisted on the guitar on this one....highly under rated guitarist!!

[@murraymiller4321]

Dude is an absolute beast on the strings! Wish I saw him Live!

[@murraymiller4321]

Agree 100 percent

[@DaveDexterMusic]

You _must_ know he's not underrated.

[@jasonelliott66]

@DaveDexterMusic what I mean by under rated is he never gets mentioned among the greats and he rightfully deserves to be there...

[@davidececchini-h3p]

Nuno is a top player

[@michaelvaughn64]

HAMMERJACK'S!!!! Oh damn, I forgot about this video. Went on an Extreme binge after listening to the new album and said, "Hmmmm, that place looks familiar...Is that? IT IS! YES! HAMMER'S! I saw Extreme there back in the good old days. LOVED that place!

[@RLewisLightner]

I remember Vivian Campbell saying in an interview when he first joined Def Leppard that it was one of the few bands he knew of that actually SING their harmony parts and do it well...but from a production standpoint, I do recall a lot of their stuff being fairly effects intensive. As for Extreme, Nuno stated one time that he, Gary, and Pat just kind of naturally fell into where they normally sit singing 3 part harmony...that it was almost effortless. My choice vocally would still be Extreme.

[@lorettasearcy1471]

Nuno is awesome, he can play multiple instruments, and write, and sing.

[@PickerJimS]

I have fond memories of watching these guys regularly in the mid 80s at a nightclub in Providence RI called The Living Room!

[@lizwatkins1995]

For a song whose subject material is so lighthearted, this song never fails to mesmerize me. The harmonies sound like something you'd here in church, and the note Gary starts holding at @2:35.. wow!! One of the most complex (harmony-wise) songs they ever did!

[@mikeking7582]

I was teaching guitar in College when this came out....Nuno is the combination of all the great players of that time....Vai, Yngiwe, Satriani...etc

[@Norton1531]

That guitar work is superb.

[@jackaubrey3037]

When Brian May makes a reaction video of one of your solos, how are you not more well-known? im no astrophysicist, but im in complete agreement with him about Nuno's riDONCulous playing. Saw these guys in Germany, promoting Pornograffiti and they did NOT disappoint!! Funny thing was that I was the isolated audience members who seemed to know any of their songs besides More Than Words. I still remember that Nuno played the intro riff to this twice as fast as he needed to, which created a weird distortion that sounded like very loud silence. His acoustic solo was utter madness, which impressed even the girls waiting for them to play MTW. What a great band! Thanks for uploading!

[@franshallar]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! I never wanted to go to school, school sucks.

[@Scott-vd2le]

I just searched don't want go to school when I was having dinner, then got this escape song.

wow, Van Halen anyone? this song kicks some ass. Wish I woulda given this one a chance in '89... why I didn't I can't remember as I did Dangerous Toys, Junkyard, a whole bunch of others. I want that kid's shirt!!!!

[@justinwhite9689]

If Eddie was more open to letting Gary sing normal and not sound like Sammy VH3 could have been way better

[@WillowRaven7]

the whole video was filmed in Baltimore, MD, roughly 1989 - I was at the show, met the band, and it was AWESOME .... the show footage was at Hammerjacks in Baltimore.

love the harmony on the chorus of these guys, you dont see bands these days that can do that. they might have one guy that can carry a tune

[@TriciaNaz1964]

I love this song and the video. I come from Medford, Mass. and Gary Cherone used to work at the same mall I did. He was really nice. He looked and acted just like the video. I love how he makes sure the kid gets home at the end, like an older brother.

[@soonerthrawn1362]

When I got extreme album I always skipped more than words sadly they are the more than words group. If they had come out 1983 to 86 they would have been a huge band but they were 89 to 95 and that was to late. Nuno is a wizard on guitar and Gary was great lead man. Awesome band

I am a lucky gut that was able to open for this MONSTER band 5 time in the 80's Extreme 3 times at the Living Room in Providence RI one time at the Channel in Boston ,Ma and my faverit was at Tody's place in conn . Great guys and players and always made us feel at home in the dressing room with us . Nuno said to me anyone that plays a old kiss song was cool with me . Me and the other band member would go see them practice in Revare Mass and they would be killing it always open practices !

[@tommynoble3428]

Have any of you seen the original video for this song, before Nuno, Pat, and Paul were in the band? All the non-Gary guys in that band look like the guys who would work in the guitar or drums department of the local mom & pop music stores that made most of their money renting/selling trumpets and clarinets to middle school band students. Then suddenly in 1984 they needed to stock guitars, drums, and amps because EVH exploded the rock scene through MTV and needed to hire the local long-haired guys to have a "cool" presence in the store to attract the pimply 12-year-olds who wanted to play rock and metal music. Those are the non-Gary guys in this band and I won't be convinced otherwise.
