Extreme - "Rise" (Official Video) 

Amazing track too! looks like your album will be the best record of the decade.🤘

Nothing good about this

It's been 35 years since I first heard this extraordinary group infused with exceptional talent. They are my Gen X Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Queen, Van Halen, Pink Floyd and Chicago . . . Should Extreme be in the RnR HoF? They ARE THE RnR HoF!!

I'm really hoping a lot of people watch your next single it's really cool watching you guys make a come back I truly hope you guys can capitalis on the momentum

Q

Sounds more like Steve Vai than Van Halen on this cut. To me, anyways.

watching the live ver of this solo - Nuno nailed it man - long live hungry guitar players

​@@jrcogburn hungry?

@@martine.210 yes hungry. Always striving to be better. Not complacent, like say kirk hammett for example.

@@jrcogburn Ah, ok. I get it. That's also why he is so skinny 😄

Also more proof that RU-vid can help music. Rick's video about how most real radio stations have disappeared and how we now only seem to discover new music through RU-vid type services rings true. Heard about this song from him and had to go back through Extreme's two 1990s releases. Breath of fresh air.

Agreed. Thank you, Rick Beato ❤

Rick Beato brought me here too

Yeah Rick ROCKS! Loved his take on this scorcher.

😎me too.. i also watch Rick video then click this Extreme's latest music video. Nice to see Extreme have new songs in this world.

Not much has shocked me in the last 10 years guitar wise in this genre. This is ludicrous level shocking. What genius.

This solo made me miss EVH and Dimebag at the same time, and it reached its goal, according to Nuno himself: to keep EVH's flame burning alive.

Superhuman, haha

its nunno so its meh for me he aint that crazy compared to most goated players

He's crazy because he creates actual music at that speed, not cellar-dwelling turd-polishing wankery. @@Septicshites

And it`s melodic pyrotechnic, not just some chromatic or pentatonic pattern anybody could play with a bit of practice.

The best (hard rock) imo

Not so casual. That's high energy high class primo shredding!

@@time2see192 casual because of how freakin easy he makes it look.

Never heard of the band Polyphia have you?

@@JamesSmith-gk8sz I’m very familiar with Tim Henson and polyphia. Nuno is still “one of” the best guitarists of all time. Doesn’t mean he’s “the best” but he’s certainly up there as “one of” the best.

Nuno has been playing guitar like that for almost as long as Eddie was, I don't know why people are saying it's like a tribute to him.. Mutha intro, flight of the bumblebee, Play with me solo

​@@richardfisher8460 Maybe they are saying it because Nuno just said in an article he wanted to keep the EVH fire alive. The article is how I found this video.

@@richardfisher8460 Get the funk out too

@@richardfisher8460 The first part of that solo is definitely homage to EVH. Then before that half ends Nuno does some speed burns some palm-muted. He then slows it down & moves to the finger pad runs that are amazing as the band harmonizes “Rise”. I’m very well aware of Nuno’s finger tap runs. His guitar magic in his Extreme & solo career. I’m not putting Nuno down. When it comes to EVH Nuno is humble. He even says he isn’t the one to take EVH’s crown. I personally believe EVH would crown Nuno his successor if he could. My point is that Nuno & the boys brought rock n roll back to the masses dying for it. Nuno is my favorite guitarist of all time.

Sorry but I have to disagree about the eddie van halen smiling down. I believe eddie is alteady smiling at his son Wolfgang. But Nuno is unquestionably on fire in this song!

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

It def shows EVH was his mentor.

EVH wasn't Nuno's mentor AT ALL.

@@arleco12 true. he was one of his biggest influences, but not a mentor

Dude, Nuno is the GOAT right now. Sorry Tim Henson.

@@hellcat5music Yeah Nuno is still waaay better than Tim Henson It's the battle of the the GenX /Millennial era vs the Generation Z crap. (GenX/Millenials) Nuno VS (Generation Z) Tim Henson. Nuno still rules!!😁 and the PAST is always Better than all the crap modern music.😝

Oh come on Richie Kotzen is still around And Tom Quayle , he even dont need a band to play with

@@bertsonder richie kotzen can't touch nuno. sorry. he's ok. I don't dig what he did cheating with dude's wife in Poison back in the day. so, richie can fk right off there. Steve Morse kicks both riche and tom's butt playing.

@@2good2betrue3 dude. It's not past music. It's brand new. right there. "Rise" I'm not going on about some old album. lol. I like Tim's stuff, but Nuno. I want to see NUNO and TIM do a song. YES.

Detto

NO.......ITS MINE!!! LOL

Legend !

And mine 🎸

And mine since 1990

Highly overlooked guitar player!

My first round draft pick, if I was putting a band together, since 1990!

Nuno himself would disagree with you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sYpKg6HR1z8.html

NUNO is the bomb!!!

And he is Portuguese

I agree uncle Rico!

@@guitaristinterrupted3558 😅

Unfortunately the rest of the song isn't as good as the solo

Kirk Hammett's new shit is pretty good too short and sweet

Almost like he's been practicing for over 40 years to do that solo isn't it ;)

For those down in the back - FUCK YES!!!

WE ARE HERE

The lyrics aren’t great and his voice has aged horribly.

@@Steamplague His voice sounds really good! In tune, good tone, and some high notes as well. Wtf are you talking about?

@@Steamplague - They really struggled to hide how weak his voice is in the mixing. The song also sounds like a cheesy Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver ripoff. Great solo though. Nuno still got it.

buckethead.....can pull off anything.....facts

I had the same reaction, like I was watching a respectful nod at EVH and he was nodding back... gooosebumps everywhere and a smile...

@@jibobarrow8350 no way! He has the technical abilities but not the groove or feel of Nuno and Eddie!

He loves Eddie, so if anything, it was to honor him. I’ve never seen so many people talking about one guitar solo the last couple weeks. I hope this starts a fire for heavy rock bands again that make great songs instead of noise. That hasn’t happened in a while.

@@JohnMegaton2062 I absolutely agree! I'm old enough to remember the first time I heard eruption as it was the same type of chatter when it was released. I also remember when Extreme hit the scene in the late 80's and I remember saying to myself, "this is the first player I've heard who has a flare like Eddie's"! Eddie was the greatest rock, rhythm player ever and he doesn't get enough credit for that. Lots of guys can player blistering solos but only a few can combine killer rhythm chops, along with solos that fit those chops, like Eddie and Nuno!

Yes, he definitely does 🎸

He’s been here 👍🏽

Actually, they released a great album in 2008, with the lead single/video for King Of The Ladies, which is one of my favourite songs. And in my opinion, it's one of their best songs from the band's catalog.

Oh yes

Did they? Still sounds like 80s early 90s hair metal to me

I would say very Bettencourt.🧐

Nuno's secret is in the way he writes his solos. The playing sounds extremely difficult while actually being pretty simple.

A special skillset from birth...

Ya killer guitar. But dorky vocals makes the song unbearable to listen to imo

Makes me want to play guitar

​@Jem’Hadar dorky huh? So ehat modern music act doesn't have "dorky" lyrics. I mean WAP had to be the opitome of stupid

@@Duhman740 there is some decent vocals on newer bands I’ve heard. Dead child has cool vocals.

Yup, and Nuno is a diciple of EVH, so we're still in good hands.

He is top dog now! Lolz!

I thank Jesus tbh

@@footstomper1 Jesus is fiction God.. trinity came hundreds years after Jesus crucified event..

@@vigordiasmountana8641 Back to your rubber room, sir lol

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

@@NunoBettencourt-ke4kk Doing well! You?

@@shariblack4128 I am doing good, and it’s a pleasure to have you here. Well I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?

Nuno put all his tricks in it

Nuno 🤘🎸 The whole song is 🔥 Kudos to the whole band & production team.

It sucks

What a killer track! They really captured something here can't get enough!

@@acidtonguemuzik no

absolutely!!

So personal and "true",you get that magical thing long lost since 90's ,it"s not cause is shreddy ,it"s so personal that they sing on it. Pulverized all else" pc bands" around with a Single .

Yes, dark times this brings back the joy

You took the words right outta my mouth..freaking awesome solo..

​ @St. Dedaelus /Ricardo yeah! .. Cause we did live those times (or also we are musicians who gave it all old way before" it was easy" ) so we get a different perception , this way to play has a soul in it and we feel it . Glad i'm not alone , have a nice day! ( lol i'm listening to that song every day , years does not happen) . Cheers!

Nuno its a true guitarrist... Excuse me: A true musician*

N it's EVH inspired

​@@diamondd2778 interesting that it's not at all like what I think of as Eddie's style. No tapping or legato at all really, almost all palm muted -- I think Nuno picked every note, which is about as opposite, technique wise, of the typical Eddie solo as a shreddy rock guitar solo can be

.. it's up there for sure.

Yeah... but kind of all over the place and yet out of a place in the context of the song imo Doesn't fit, sounds as if the guy really wanted to remind everyone he's a top notch guitarist regardless of where the song's going

Yes, I noticed it right away. Nice, really nice.

Yes that was a pretty special moment hearing that, I think I stopped breathing for a moment because I found it so emotional

I asked for it.

The best part of the song for sure.

that's the best part of the whole song..simply sublime, the vocals of Gary over that muted solo part by Nuno is sooo epic it makes my hair "Rise" and gives me chills.

And an additional hats off to Rick for his most recent interview with Nuno!

Rick Beato is a must watch for those that love great rock music!

Beato is great - I hope his snowball continues to grow, VERY cool solo from Nuno!!!! The melody/vocals sounds a little ripped from the late-great Scott Weiland. Just a product of all things 90s here and this ones sounds a little too close to an STP vocals. I still love this but I really hope that is an "homage" to Weiland.

@@mikepasichnuk5197 I couldn't agree more on the Scott melody/vocals sound. Another great band that is no longer with us.

@@FVD I got an hour into the interview and finally thought I had to hear what all the fuss is about. Yes, nice solo ... BOLD solo: I'm surprised they got it to sit in the mix so well.

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

They say he’s had ribs removed and had them added to his left hand so he can solo like that.

AND that tone.......

Me too

That guitar solo is downright ‘Devil Went down to Georgia’ spooky good! Could just keep listening to it over and over again.

@@leonardharverson8660 hahaa

It is fucken amazing!

And Drums and Bass Guitar take Nuno up a notch.

0❤¹

Pat Badger was always a beast.

WTF?!!!! What a fricking guitar solo. Let's not forget the master Guthrie Govan, though! Just saying...

I was just thinking this song really starts off with biiig STP vibes.

I hear an STP vibe in that main riff so the Scott reference is ironic.

I came to say I hear a bit of an STP vibe as well.

Yep, agreed - was getting a couple of Purple-era STP references in there...which can only be a good thing in my book!

Because the verse is basically a faster tempo version of Lounge Fly, that's why. LOL

I take it you never heard of a band called King Crimson…this is just simply pedestrian.

@@petersokol1603 nerd

I take it you never moved on past the 80's.

@@concordanceextractioncorp I like all kinds of rock being a 62 year guitar player that grew up in the Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad Era. To be honest I love great guitar solos from the 60s all the way through current ones. I actually was never a big 80s Hair Band fan. I just thought this particular solo had a very unique sound.

@@petersokol1603 Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp have been on the forefront of original sounding tone and playing. Good guitar playing is just that, good guitar playing. Never expected to be attacked because I said I really liked and thought a solo sounded sonically new to me.

originality is everywhere. you just have to look.

baby van halen is back

Nonexistent originality? We are literally in the middle of a golden age of music you must not have your eyes or ears open man. More world changing music comes out every year than you could listen to in a lifetime

​@@smilleur Then why hasn't it changed the world?

@@smilleur hey That is good News as an oold Guy who has Not Followed up the last decade could you please give me some names

Agreed and everyone always overlooks Pat too, the bass is killer. it's like the More than Words days where everyone who heard the song thought that Gary and Nuno were a duo.

Yes he's a killer drummer as Paul Geary was and fit like a glove!

K-Fig!!!! 🥁👍🏼🔥

Yeah he's beatin it down good

Pat Badger and Kevin Figueiredo are the most criminally underrated rhythm section ever…

Now imagine living on a paradise earth forever and think of what you'll see.

Phone melted... as was your face hahaha

Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your unwavering love and support❤you have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🤘🏻🌺

Gary and Nuno are both in their 60's right? they look like they are half their age and their energy on stage is waaay spectacular than any band. They are all over the place running and making the crowd pumped up.

Maybe they went vegan and started to do yoga or something:)

They moisturize. 😉

Just drugs

ACDC still rocking in their 90s 😂

🔥💯

Not to mention Pat and Gary sounding awesome as well.

Finally new Nuno solos!!!! So happy. He sounds good & charged up!

Good Chorus ！！

@@johnwhite8114 Kesha loves it!

Brilliantly said my brother!

That's all straight up Nuno. The palm muted runs, into a delay. That's flight of the bumblebee. The bitcrusher is new. I'd like to know which peddle he's using - or if it's in post. I totally agree that it feel's like they walked out of cryosleep from 1992, and fed on metal from the last 20 years through a tube. The harmonic treatment is modern. Great song! Feels good man.

Who is he paying homage to in this solo? Really curious

@@bhaveshramdaursingh4325 your mother

​@@bhaveshramdaursingh4325 nobody. Nuno doesn't need to.

Well stated.

Absolutely!

and it s not even in his top 10 solos imho

Would you like us to spoiler that for you? 🥸

Same

​@@earMUSICofficial I sure hope the rest of the album sounds nothing like this and sounds like Extreme.

Long Live The King.

It's Nuno!

+1

Listen to the darkness

dont take me wrong, while I like this tune there are lots of releases since that date that are also good, Def Leppard 2015 album has some very good hard rock tunes just to mention one

If that’s the case, you need to listen to Mammoth WVH. Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang. Hell, this tune sounds derivative, sans the chorus. Doesn’t matter. It kicks ass. I just heard Mammoths new release today. It’s badass. “Another celebration at the end of the world”

Extreme came out in the 90's

Well pornograffiti was from 1990 …

I know how you feel, I found those guys while waiting for Extreme new songs, may it cheer you up as it has for me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C_ijc7A5oAc.html

AMEN!!

Duck Yeah!!!

Ke$ha approves.

Yes absolutely world of CRAP. Glad to see these guys back. Awesome!!

Yes! Also the pinched harmonic walk down at 3:25, is reminiscent from I’m the one VH song

Amen bru

Same here! 🔥💯🤘

It's so catchy, but I love Nuno

Same here can't get enough of Nunos solo, Gary vocals and the Badger back on bass...Extreme 6...He'll Ya..Chino505

Deserves it. Have you already seen the Dany Carey/Tool Pneuma Vic Firth video? 😉

Listened to it everyday since release. Amazing vocals, stellar Guitar playing, super catchy song!🔥

Ill buy one for my car and one for the house

I'll get a copy for my cat to shit on 🤮

​@@berimikulic6340and one for me?

Not if the other songs are as bad as this one. I'll just support them with concert tickets if they want to finally tour.

@@ATalkingBadger i get it, you want a song like more than words kinda

He's bing great for a long time. What are you talking about???

@@Decalpha I am guessing -- pure speculation, mind you, that he is referring to a lot of folks out there who know Nuno and Extreme as the "More than Words" guys. People in the know always knew he was awesome.

Like Ed, has rhythm!

First off, calm the fuck down. The only people that act salty are the insecure ones. And that's absolutely ok. We all have opinions and who's to say wether we're wrong or right. This kills. Nuno stepping in again at the perfect time. Sitting on King Edward's throne. Y'all just be fkng nice to one another. Got something shitty to say, it's ok. Keep it to yourself tho.

​@@Samurai78420He's keeping EVH's flame alive, *not replacing him,* you imbeciIe. Nuno himself said that.

Me too! Phwooaahh what a kick ass tune!!!!

Oh hell yes!🤩

waiting for so long long time

Get out more...

All I can think of is I can't wait to jam to this with my windows down in my car at maximum volume

Get the Funk Out was 33 years ago.

​@@FactsBeFacts and your nit picking point is?😆

@@FactsBeFactsnever heard it

@@lg1886 All you have to do it search for Get the Funk Out on here & You'll see Numos legendary solo from 1991.

Nuno is on point for sure, but vocalist is throwing me way off here. Sounds like the rest of the band made a song and some random singer sung over it.

Yep, that’s my favorite by them. Schitzophonic is greatness too (Nuno solo)

I agree, that's my favorite of theirs, followed by Pornograffiti and their debut.

Totally agree! Pornograffitti was amazing, but III Sides took it to the next level... unfortunate timing though.

Not to metion the production on that album is insane!!!!!

For real. Been one of my desert island albums since it came out and still is.

It starts with a mistake according to him ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sYpKg6HR1z8.html

His OK is Incendiary

Totally agree!! Rocks!!!

Just Nuno doin Nuno things...

Just Amazing!

Always was

yeah, those "show offs" modern shredder's that plays ultra technical but got no soul. Itchika who?, Jason who?, Tim Hens..who?😂🤣😁

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

Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your unwavering love and support❤you have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🤘🏻🌺

My thoughts exactly.❤

Edie Van Halen vibes. Best solo I’ve heard in a very long time

After listening to the hit songs like Die for You by The Weeknd that are dominating the radio, it's SOOOOOOO refreshing to listen to something like this!

Sounds familiar because the first time sounds exactly like Steve Vai's songs!😁

Right in
