FIRST TIME HEARING Extreme - More Than Words | REACTION 

You must see the Jack Black/Jimmy Fallon version.

Nuno is one of the best guitarists in the last 40 years.

Their song “Hole Hearted” is another amazing song. Same album. Definitely check it out!

I had no idea who they were in 1990. Raising my kids in the 80's and 90's music and MTV kept me sane. All I know is I was blown away by this beautiful song and was in total awe of their looks and hair whenever they came up on MTV Thanks for reacting.

This is the edited single version, the full version goes an extra couple of minutes and has a really pretty ending to it.

I still get chills hearing this.

Can I strongly suggest watching the Jack Black/Jimmy Kimmel take off of this song - so good ❤️. Also watch Extreme’s set from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert - they killed it ⭐️. Keep up the good work! Lesa 🇦🇺

World peace would happen if this was played loud enough around the world.

Beautiful song done clean and simple

This song was so popular and came on the radio so much that people got tickets for their concert. A lot of people who had no idea of any of their other songs ended up being so surprised by the metal band that came on before them and ended up walking out. Don't buy tickets for a band You only know 1 song and then get upset because the band is totally different than that 1 song.

Gary, the lead singer here, was also the 3rd lead singer of Van Halen (album Van Halen 3) after Sammy Hager was fired from the Band.

One of my favourite Extreme songs - loved this.

I love this song, one of my favorite ballads!!❤❤❤

When this song came out I loved it the first time I heard it so I bought the album. To my surprise every other song on the album was polar opposite from this one. I knew nothing of the band before and I remember being completely caught off guard.

It’s their best song in my opinion 💯🔥🔥

I absolutely loved the whole pornograffiti album. They sing this with the harmonies, where I first kissed you is almost Sanatra-eque, hole hearted, and they do rock.

Wow.. you’re in for a treat ❤.. this is stunning

Nothing better than Gary and Nuno!!!! The live versions are just as good!!!! Try "Whole Hearted" next from them!

Everly Brothers. You'll hear this and other songs with beautiful harmonies.

I think every metal band of any description is required to have a good ballad in their discography. 😜

Love this one!!! Takes me back in time. You should check out the Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon video of this one. It’s an exact copy with great singing!

One of my favorite songs.

Great reaction to this amazing song!! Guitarist, Nuno Bettencourt, is one of the best guitarists on the planet!! And Gary Cherone is a great singer/songwriter and frontman. This song is one of their biggest hits, even tho it’s in such contrast to their what you might expect from a ‘metal’ band! Their harmonies, and this song’s lyrics, made it a huge hit worldwide when it was released in 1990. As a die-hard Queen fan, I found Extreme from their involvement in Freddie Mercury’s tribute concert (1992), when they did a 20 minute mash-up of many of Queen’s biggest hits - somewhat against the wishes of Brian May. They were amazing, and I’ve followed their music since!! Thank-you for sharing…

LOVE THIS SONG!!! THANKS, SALVO!! Love their song: Get The Funk Out!! Oughta give that one a try! Most of their stuff was different to this one...but, I SO LOVE THIS ONE!!! The soft guitar and their WONDERFUL VOICES: JUST SO GOOD!!

A good follow up from Extreme is Get The Funk Out. Some other great ones are Hole Hearted (It's acoustic, but extremely energetic), Rest in Peace, and Decadence Dance.

You gotta check out Hole Hearted from them, you won't be able to sit still, I promise you. Awesome reaction. Probably the softest song they have.

SalvoG ... on the Wikipedia page you were showing on-screen for the band, in the second paragraph you were reading, you skipped right over the sentence that says: "The album [Pornograffitti] featured the acoustic single "More Than Words," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States." 🙂

Beautiful Love song!!! Really showing their talent vocally!!!

I've always thought it's kind of crazy that two of their biggest songs were acoustic. "Hole Hearted" is still my favorite out of some pretty darn good stuff.

"HOLE HEARTED" is another great upbeat song by Extreme. Must check it out!

They were a heavy metal band with modest success that recorded this one easy listening hit. Their only top 40 hit that crossed over onto pop charts

Oh man, what a rock ballad...right in the top ten

GOTTA listen to their hit Hole in My Heart!

You must watch the cover of this song done by Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon. So, so good!

❤Great 90s song. It was all over the radio and MTV.....a nice side of Extreme. And YES you need to check out Jack Black & Jimmy Fallon version😊It is EPIC. More of an homage than a parody.

Love their song Hole Hearted

At the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992, this band Extreme performed the most AMAZING Queen medley!! When Brian May introduced the band, he paid them the highest compliment by calling them “REAL friends”, and then Brian stated that “these guys, more than anyone else on the planet, really get what Queen has been about and what Freddie has been about all these years”. Extreme’s FULL Queen medley from that day is a whole 20 minutes long!! (It’s really hard to find in its entirety though, most videos on RU-vid of this medley are of an edited-down 12-minute version … There ARE a couple copies of the full 20-minute thing, tho!)

This song is unlike their other work. They went after a mass audience hit and got one. I was shocked when I discovered this song was by them. Sorta like Metallica’ s ballad. Not representative. Bettancourt is in the top five guitarists playing today, imo. And this certainly does not show off his immense skills. But it is a sweet song.

Their tune "Other Side of the Rainbow" starts acoustic and transitions to electric. Highly recommended!

You should dive right into Jack Black & Jimmy Fallon’s FUN cover of this while it’s fresh in mind.

My god …. Nuno Betancourt …. I’m a 42 year old woman and the sight of him still makes me feel flustered

I loved this song back in the day. Still love it now.

I love this song so much. Thanks you, Sara ❤

Get the funk out by Extreme is one of the most fun and groovy reactions you can do !

Ok well, 90's and h.s. vibes just entered my mind. I absolutely loved this song! I even learned it in sign language. Lol

You always pick ones I love, I think you’ve seen my stack of cassettes.

Freshman year high school for me…love this song

The voice judges covered this too, worth a listen.. John Legend and Kelly Clarkson ❤

This is , I think, the only song I listened to of this band in all these years.

On repeat in the 90's.

I just heard this band play a song “get the funk out” from another channel and man it blew me away. I had no clue…

One of my favorites!❤

Check out Extreme's GET THE FUNK OUT. 😁

Definitely a 90's anthem, absolute classic and everyone learning guitar had to give this one a try (I think some still do 😄).

My youngest loves "When I First Kissed You" from this album which demonstrates why they named themselves Extreme.

i really love your reactions. keep on keeping on

Check out their recent song 'Rise' and you'll see the rock side of the band...and Nuno shredding like the guitar hero that he is! 😁🤘

My daughter loved this song when she wasn't much older than a baby.

Most bands have at least one song outside of their genre, especially a ballad

I love this song! These guys give me goosebumps every time I hear it. Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon do this song, it’s really good!

This was a great album. One of thy few I can listen to all the songs on

Beautful

Such a great song! Brings me back to hr high. 🥰

One of my top three favorite bands, along with Rush and the Beatles. Chicago is up there also. I’m from the area though and my grandparents were from the same area as Nuno so I guess we had a little more exposure. Gary is a consummate performer with amazing range and power, and Nuno so amazing I named my Australian Shepherd after him ❤ hole hearted is another excellent video of theirs but my favorite is get the Funk out. Last year they came out with a new studio album that we have been waiting for for about 12 years lol

Somebody was seriously influenced by the Everly Brothers. And that's a good thing.

This and Hole Hearted were their slower songs. Check out their more rock based songs you would be surprised. Another band that's similar is Mr Big, they had the song To be With You. I always associate both bands in a similar style. It was pretty common for 80s and 90s bands to release at least one ballad on their albums.

No reactor has mentioned the most powerful lyric in this song. Over 40 reaction watches and not a single one.”you couldn’t make things new just by saying I love you”. We have all experienced that, our SO saying I love you instead of taking responsibility, trying to distract us. Best line in the song and no one ever mentions it…..

The talent sometimes is not complicated.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No insult to the band or the many accomplishments you read to us, but this was their first and only song I’ve heard from them which I heard and loved when it came out. I was born in 1956 and lived through all of the eras and generations of music since a teen lying in the sun in my back yard with ear plugs in the mid 60’s but not liking that era of music so listening to the golden oldies am channel from the 50’s on my transistor radio. It’s sad with all the six albums you said they made of their music I caught only one song. If you react to more of their music maybe we’ll both be enlighten to their culture of rock in their era. Thanx.

No cellphone camera lights...had to go with the original lighter flame during a ballad 😆😆✌✌🎶🎶🎶🎶

It's amazing what two dudes and one freakin´ guitar can do. Btw, Nuno is sexy as fuck even from a male perspective.

The album, Three sides to every story, is brilliant. It a concept album. Elements of prog rock on there too in my opinion.

You want metal, try Rise from their new album. The guitar solo from the great Nuno Bettencourt is unbelievable. Keep these gr8 reactions coming.

❤❤

😍❤️

You should listen to the accoustic version of Hotel California. I'd love your opinion of those acoustics!!!!

Check out When I’m President, Get The Funk Out, Decadence Dance, or He Man Woman Hater.

Whole Hearted is another song that was big from Extreme.

React to The View Same Jeans☘️👍

Listen to Hole Hearted too. That's a fun song.

You should do the follow-up hit "Hole Hearted" which peaked at #4. It's a good one. Again it's an acoustic song, but more uptempo. It's kind of funny, a metal/rock band and neither of their 2 hits fall into that category.

You wouldnt know it from this video, but Nuno Bettencourt is one of the best technical guitarists ever.

More, Extreme: Get the Funk Out Play with Me Kid Ego Mutha (Don't Wanna Go to School Today)

I loved this ballad but I think this might be more your kind of thing from them, ‘Get the funk out’ worth a listen

Im actully knotted at u 《😅) ahh im old now ...im 42 ....1 of d bests 👌 lol

please react to "Play with me" by Extreme It is metal genre.

Please make a Reaction to Herbert Grönemeyer „Der Weg“

Groups would be labeled for what their reputation was gained on. Before this song, Extreme had no ballads. A rap group can do a rock song, a rock artist can do country, a country artist can release rock tracks. A jazz player can suddenly come up with such a catchy hook on a trumpet or saxophone, it ends up on the pop charts. Nobody ever thought about "coloring inside the lines" then. Your song was whatever it was. Usually, when writing a song, you don't know if it will be country, rock, folky, ........it just is the song that you pulled from the ether in that moment with your instrument that amazed yourself or caught your own ear that becomes the magic, no matter from what influences you drew from.

*Salvo...Bro!!!!!* This and one other song were their commercial hits so they can pay the bills the rest of their stuff is killer Hard Rock not really Metal but close. Start with the Hard Rock hit ........ Get The Funk Out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IqP76XWHQI0.html You'll really dig it!!!! ✌Peace✌

Nuno was and still is so hot 😍

Howard jones what is love next salvog

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kWD5gdpt4Dw.html Weird Al made a version of this song too

Listen to the Pornogriffiti album ..... it's unreal

It’s basically saying if you put out then I know you love me. It’s a song about manipulating your partner into having sex with you. Yeah, and this song topped the charts. What’s that say about our society.
