Jack Black, Jimmy Fallon & Extreme "More Than Words" Mashup

[@ErikZmusic]

So.... I'm a huge Nuno Bettencourt fan, and Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon did an homage/Cover of Extreme's "More Than Words" on The Tonight Show last night, so.... I decided to edit the two videos together(the original and the Fallon/Black version) and see how it turned out. Absolutely mind blowing the attention to detail in the video and the song. I only did about a dozen or so time alignment shifts to get it all to match, and a few "artistic" video edits to get it to synch better. But other than that, it's pretty much the same. The audio from each version is actually hard panned left and right, and then flipped with the video. So what you're listening to and watching is a perfect blend of the two performances. One performance out of each speaker. Insane!!

[@amychristianewilson3962]

Erik Z Great job!

[@stephenbrowne33]

I totally watched this the first time with only one ear bud in.... after reading this comment I realize I need to watch it again. Cool being able to switch between due to the pan.

[@ErikZmusic]

Stephen Browne What's frightening is how well the two blend in stereo. The guitar parts sound like they were recorded at the same time on the same guitar. Even the reverb style and trails are matched.

[@mlzellers]

Erik Z this is brilliant. you are a mad genius.

[@SpicyCurryProd]

Erik Z Excellent editing!!!

[@christianjohns2586]

The four part harmonies are freaking incredible.

[@HenkeEdge]

Yeah, really good.

[@Chellips]

I almost can’t listen to the original anymore

[@pauljohnson650]

Yeah, with Jack Black in there, surely Three-part harmonies, although JB's vocals are not much in the mix here!

[@simonbionary11010]

@@pauljohnson650 Even so he did kill it with that vibrato :D

[@domdude64dd]

The original had 3 part harmonies and Jack and Jimmy are just doubling the two, the 3rd harmony isn't even in this version so it's just 2 part harmony doubled

[@Rognik]

Aside from Jack Black being Jack Black (ie. all those grabby motions), it's a pretty loyal recreation. I especially liked how Jimmy flipped his hair back at the same time the other guy did. Now that was attention to detail.

[@NICEDOPPY]

... Jack Black singing with the same hairstyle ...the same shirt, the black nails on fallon with a so close position to performing same chords on the guitar like original Nuno bettencourt, and other aspects like the lighters on the same time.....anyway was a perfect-loyal detail work to homage that video-song....

[@christienamosley2799]

The hair flick couldn't have been more perfect. That small action was a huge standout. Very well done!

[@ghostface9772]

The "other guy" has a name, and it's Nuno Bettencourt

[@marguskiis7711]

Fallon fails here. Nuno acts much funnier.

[@romankozelov5078]

@@ghostface9772 funny that I always need to google a second guy, who is with Nuno in this video )

[@hioeo]

WOW. They all harmonise with each other so damn good. I'm shooketh.

[@daveneuman7140]

I would pay money to see these four in concert together

[@Pinkranger87]

Me too

[@RIPOldSTK]

Nah leave Jimmy locked up in the dressing room

[@MunkhWOhan]

Black KILLED it on 2:05. Goosebumps

[@TR-vr5pz]

jesus what an operatic sounding voice there - cuts right thru you

[@teddybear2564]

Jack Black and Jimmy have TALENT no doubt.

[@carobelushi9091]

So Jack Black could sing like this, this entire time?? He's talented!!!

[@coreyrogers8700]

Have you never heard of Tenacious D?

[@holdon4992]

Yes

[@the_jackal_dmz]

@@holdon4992 watch the video of him singing the US national anthem. He’s ridiculously good.

[@MyEnime]

Jimmy hair flip 2:58 on point !

[@HalbleeresGlas]

+MyEnime Also Jimmy's hand at 1:18 :D So good

[@MyEnime]

+Relana DistanceCreek and i swear Jack is a better singer than the other guy!!

[@lexijamie3193]

MyEnime is that Khan in your profile picture???

[@amandalovette3826]

[@jeffl977]

This is seriously a masterpiece.

[@edrinefaza]

That Nuno's hair flip lol

[@elkmonk]

Lol how jimmy did the hair thing at the same times as in the original video was awesome...

[@adrop27]

That's my favorite part too!

[@jennblue2464]

Mine too.

[@deburgh65]

When parody comes out as beautiful as the masterpiece, less comedic but more romantic….. hat off to you guys 🎩 🧢 👒

[@meganlyons3042]

i just cant get past the hair.. looks amazing great voices

[@lilypads7586]

To be honest they both nailed it✨

[@REVW196]

Outrageous harmonies with all four singing ..

[@gdocekal]

Nice edit job. Just goes to show how awesome the Fallon piece is. I can watch this all day long.

[@morgyn55]

This is the reason music was invented.

[@missydoyle453]

Jimmy even has the hair flip perfect ! Great job guys !! Love this Jack and Jimmy need to do more videos like this cause they both are really great singers !

[@stevensikorski9417]

This is exactly what everybody was already thinking when they watched the one with Jimmy and Jack. "I wonder how close did they do this to the original....?" Now we can see they really really did an amazing job paying attention to all the details!!! Wow - how much time did they spend getting this exactly correct??? Awesome idea - great to see them together!

[@kilgoretrout3966]

+Steven Sikorski As a musician, i can tell you, it took some freakin' rehearsing. First, you have to emulate the performance of the song, as everyone already knows it, so any error will blatantly obvious, next, you have to time the acting, which is obviously lip synched, but still, all the little things add up, and no, they didn't do the video Exactly the same, but damn, how much better could it be? Suffice to say... it's hard, full stop

[@thisisajang]

Everything's perfect, down to the very minute details. Jack's very animatic performance aside, it's a perfect carbon copy.

[@Edwin_Rey]

Cute face =]

[@thisisajang]

@@Edwin_Rey thank you.

[@beentheredonethatb4]

You did an outstanding job of merging the two together. Mind blowing actually.

[@silvanacapitini890]

The recreation is fantastic you did a very good job man!!!

[@bahamutgurl95]

the harmonies are great!

[@carolallegrezza503]

still one of the best songs, still. this video blows me away, again, today! all four of these guys, are just gifted with amazing talent.

[@crystalathome8]

I loved this. Thanks for splicing these two performances together. It is amazingly done.

[@Mistervaluable]

Hugely entertaining to see these two versions side by side.

[@jennblue2464]

Wow that is amazing. They are nearly exactly alike. Even the hair flip at the end is exactly the same. Great job on the editing as well.

[@lifeintechnicolor04]

THIS WAS AWEEEESOME! They should sing together!

[@Xepherya]

This is beautifully edited. Seriously, thank you

[@reneegeorge2369]

Awesome, I've been obsessed with both videos ever since I saw the Jack/Jimmy remake. I always like the song on the radio, but the remake video Is so well done and spot on to original, but also very funny and cute.

[@richardmelodymarshall1390]

Just one of my favorites EVER! Extreme should feel very honored that Jack & Jimmy did such an awesome job of covering one of the most iconic love songs of all time with such professionalism, humor & attention to detail! Would have loved to have seen the 4 of them perform it together! How awesome would that be?!

[@KorraymSorour]

Jack Black - is amazing

[@SLL-]

fantastic match-up, and jack and jimmy are right on top of it!

[@jerrysalmon7875]

The four of them need to do this live somewhere!

Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@TheCatnipCinema]

This is literally the exact video I was looking for. When I saw the Jack black/Jimmy Fallon version, I HAD to see it side-by-side with the original. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who wanted this and you had already made this video, beautifully-done too!! Reading your comment, I am not surprised that the videos needed some tweaking to sync up correctly. All-in-all, thank you for making this!! Alexandra

[@Aunt_Jemima]

Fou show

[@boyan.guitar]

They even matched the settings on the Mesa Boogie bass amp in the beginning of the song, amazing, lol! LOVE it!

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

If you pay close attention, they copy the camera angles very faithfully but it seems they slightly zoomed out a bit more. Eg the baby face on the drums is closer to the camera in the Extreme compared to the Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon recreation

[@rattlehead2152]
