It’s not that underrated as a song RHCP wish they’d wrote this and though the album was misunderstood at release it is getting rave reviews over 20 yrs later. The Whole album requires a listen once every 3 months as it relates anything that happens in the world at any given time
Yea my friend....fell in love with Extreme ever since the mall scene in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure." I wore out 2 cassette copies of the III Sides album.
I wasn't a fan of the band before this album came out. I can't remember why I bought it, but I must have listened to it 100 times. During their tour, they came to The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY, which is nearby for me. I was blown away by Nuno's guitar playing, but how well he and Gary play together was even more impressive. I haven't listened to this in many years, but it will be on the car stereo tomorrow for the drive to work.
Nuno Bettencourt does not get his just due as a guitarist. Brian May himself stated that Nuno's guitar work in "Get The Funk Out" was even too complex for him.
Nuno is well respected and admired by all us guitarists. In fact Eddie handed over the reigns to Nuno to take over. Eddie loved Nuno and would always visit unannounced.. Eddie used to play He-Man Woman Hater at every single soundcheck”.
So many great bands out there sometimes they get lost in the shuffle. I played the hell out of this album when it came out but havent listened to it in years. Im gonna break it out again. I wish these guys had done more.
Who played that solo??? That would be none other than Nuno Bettencourt!! If you want a guitar solo that will literally melt your face off check out Rise from their latest album, He-Man woman hater from their album pornographity!
If you think that then you should have definitely gone to see them on tour this past year because in living color opened for them!!! It was one hell of a show!!!
Just nice to hear someone comment. I'm going on 53 years of playing drums professionally having worked in clubs, concert halls and recording studios which has given me a vast appreciation for all types of music. I love and have played 60's music to progressive. Love it all. Being that I have a sizeable library of music, I'm going to start requesting groups of 4 having specific genres each month. Guess you can say a "THEME" month. Anyway, enough of me. Robert@@debbiechang5781
