Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist, is very much an icon in the guitar world. His signature guitars are with Washburn. 😊😊

The secret to this song is Nuno playing the guitar percussively. His tapping and hitting on the guitar body as he plays fills the song and gives it extra emotion. Perfection.

It’s nice to be able to come back to songs like this. In its day, you couldn’t escape from this song, it was everywhere to the point t where people actually grew tired of it. Reaction channels like yours allow many of us to appreciate what we may have previously dismissed.

Even the band grew tired of it because it wasn't the entire band in the song

The guitarist (Nuno Bettencourt) is generally recognized as one of the best electric guitar players in the world So it's always been a bit funny that this is the most famous song he plays on :)

Such a wonderful breath of fresh air. Your reactions are so genuine. Love it girl, keep it up. Us musicians love it and you ❤❤❤ even us part time players

Do "Get The Funk Out", "Decadent Dance", "Rest In Peace", "#Rebel", "Rise", "Play With Me" (this one from the live Take Us Alive concert🔥) The Take Us Alive concert is an exceptional representation of this band! Other songs from this concert are "Cupids Dead", "Take Us Alive", "Whole Hearted", "Star" and "Am I Ever Gonna Change". Seriously the list goes on and on. This is the greatest band you never heard of until now!

The only thing any of them couldn't do was be the lead singer for Van Halen (Gary Charone was always a strange choice - very talented but absolutely wrong choice).

Bisscute: your tastes are so wide ranging that it's like a box of chocolate; open it, tune in and see what you're gonna get. Totally loved today's selection, a song long known to my ear, but it's always nice to see it appreciated by a music aficionado like you. Bravo! 💕

They can also rock - they played at the Queen tribute concert - and did a great job on a few Queen songs.

This is one of thoose songs that you cant help but sing along with! Great message about showing love! ❤ The harmony and acoustic guitar are so well blended! Takes me back once again to the old days, with a smile! 😁 Thanks for the reaction Biss!❤💛

I would recommend “Hole Hearted” as another great song from Extreme

If you want to HEAR what a warm hug feels like, this song is the best way to describe it

Great choice, Biss. This song definitely makes me feel a certain kinda way.. 🥺 The lyrics are really incredible, and I love how simple - yet so powerful - the black-n-white video is. _"It's not that I want you._ _Not to say, but if you only knew.."_

An 80's jam band that had great power ballads like this and Whole Hearted...my fav rockin tune by them is called Get the Funk Out...🔥😬

Recorded in 89, came out in 90.

An extremely underrated band. 'Get the funk out' has possibly the most complete /perfect guitar solo ever written. Even if you don't react, give it a listen. Mind blowing. Nuno is a genius.

Yay! If I'm being honest, I don't know Extreme all that well. They probably have another song or two that I would know if I heard it, but this song and video was so big when it came out! It's probably the one song of their's that everyone knows, and is bigger than anything else they ever had. While I was watching this, for some reason I thought of Los Lonely Boys. They were a group that was popular for a minute, like 20 years ago now, and probably not really the same as Extreme, but I think there's maybe a similarity in the voice, or something. The have a song called "Heaven", that was their big hit, that you might want to check out.

Fantastic song, and a wonderful reaction. Glad you enjoyed this.

great video, I love that the drummer and bass player play up the fact that they're not in the song, so they just chill out and listen, cracks me up

Always love your reactions, Bisscute! If you'd like to hear these guys at the other end of their musical spectrum, try "Rise" from their 2023 album "Six". Nuno's solo from that thing became an instant legend among guitarists. Enjoy!

Haha I knew you would love this song. This was their huge hit. They also had a big hit with Hole Hearted that is full band acoustic and more upbeat that I also would suggest, but for something completely electric and mind blowing, check out Play With Me. Nuno Bettencourt is one of the best guitarists in rock music history, and it shows on that song.

If you want to hear the more metal side of Extreme, check out "Play With Me".

I filled in as a stage hand for a few of their shows and they are 2 of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

I remember I asked you about 7 months ago to react to this song when you reacted to Mr big thank you for another amazing reaction as always

Extreme r from Boston, they broke big in 1990 w/ this 2nd album 'Pornograffiti'... It sold 2x platinum and this single became an essential 'slow dance' song. Extreme scored another acoustic hit from this album - 'Hole hearted'... Unfortunately, Extreme became this cautionary tale in the 90's as 3rd album 'III sides to every story' only sold gold in the US and they were not known for their rock songs. Extreme released 'Waiting for the punchline' in 1995, but it sold poorly and they disbanded in 1996. The original Extreme was: Gary Cherone (vocals), Nuno Bettencourt (guitar), Pat Badger (bass) and Paul Geary (drums) In 1998, Gary Cherone joined Van Halen as the singer and released 1 album 'Van Halen III'... He was not a good fit for Van Halen and was out of the band by 2000. Extreme eventually reunited and has released 2 more albums. Other songs by Extreme - 'Get the funk out' ... 'Hip today' ... 'Rest in peace'... "Mutha (Don't want to go to school today)"

i grow up with this beautiful song it is an iconic love song

At the time, I was a high school thrash metalhead, but I learned all of these hair band ballads on guitar 'cause they made my high school sweetheart's heart melt. We'd be at the mall and hit the music store, and I'd pick up a guitar and start that opening and you could see teen girl doe eyes in all directions. Powerful stuff.

Loved it when it came out and still love it today.

It's always nice to see The Bright Angel Miss Biss enjoying a song and giving us a smile. Have a wonderful 2024, and thank you for all your hard work.

Ive never met anyone who didnt feel the same way as you did for this song. ❤

Beautiful song, I sang it with a friend of mine at karaoke. Nice memories

Nuno Bettencourt was born in my archipelago - Azores, 9 islands from Portugal. And he is probably the best guitar player nowadays.

Memories of a first real love ❤️

Have a look at Other Side of the Rainbow off the latest album Six. Good to see them back with a great album. I saw them in Wolverhampton a few weeks ago. Amazing rock band!

In life, two extremes usually occur: those who frequently say I love you without proving it with actions, and those who spend their entire lives without ever daring to say I love you, one as bad as the other, until they no longer dare to say I love you. there is a remedy. In any case, a beautiful song, which has remained despite the years that have passed, is from 1991 and the reason is obvious, the beautiful message it transmits and the beautiful interpretation. Greetings Bisscute and a big hug from Mexico City.

Extreme were HUGE Queen Fans, and this song, and the fact that its all accoustic, was inspired by Queens 'Love of my Life'. They were even invited to the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert for Aids Awareness after Freddie died. At that concert, Sir Brian May said 'These guys understand what Queen was all about all these years, and what Freddie was all about all these years.' I dont think there is higher praise in the Music industry.

Oh wow. Don't really see Extreme reactions very often. Good choice here. There's an album called "Monster Ballads" all 80s songs. Totally worth listening to on a rainy day.

They know the recipe to succeed as a rock band, bring a ballad! They did it very well!

If you wanna rock out with Extreme check out Their song Get The Funk Out. It kicks butt!!!!! Or check out The singer Gary Cherone singing for Van Halen. He was with them for only a short time but they rocked out. The record he did with them was Van Halen III. THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS AMAZING.

Nah, most people would disagree with that. I don't think it's a good idea to check anything out on that album when there is so many Roth and Hagar songs she has not checked yet (has she even checked out any of the Hagar stuff yet?). To each their own and all that, and you are entitled to like what you like, but that album was not received well by fans.

One of my favorites ! ❤

Extreme is fantastic, and Nuno Bettencourt is a legend to many guitarists, and to appreciators of guitar driven music in general. For more extreme, I'd recommend "Get the Funk Out" or "Do You Wanna Play" (which was also in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) to give you an idea of what lies ahead on your Extreme journey. There is a lot of history with this band to dive into if you find them interesting. Thank you for all of your reactions, I really enjoy them. Cheers!

One of the best unplugged tracks ever. Such deep lyrics, more than what most people take away initially. I feel it's even more than something physical...it's a deep commitment.

Or they were just trying to get laid. To me, these lyrics always sounded like they were trying to negotiate their way into someone's pants.

Whenever I hear this song, I think of a song with a very similar message (and I think of this one when I hear that one). The song, "When You Say Nothing At All" has been covered by several artists but my favorite is Allison Kraus.

_I was not expecting this_ or _I was not ready_ - the two most common phrases among modern KZreadrs.

I love your complacent face when a song/video likes you; I also love your accurate comments. Greetings my dear Bisscochute ... I mean Bisscute (little mexican joke : ) ).

Your facial expression at 5:30 is exactly why this song is a classic. They tease that final peak a few times, but when it hits - all the emotion kind of rushes over you.

Kid ego. Great Extreme song

Gotta mention Gary singing it beautifully!!!!!!!!!

Extreme is one of the most underrated bands in history. They were known as the "More than words" guys. They have several songs to bang your head (Get the funk out, Decadence dance, Kid ego) but also ballads (Hole hearted, tragic comic, song for love). Even its vocalist, Gary Cherone, spent some time singing with Van Halen, I recommend that you only listen the song "Without you", the only interesting song from Van Halen's Cherone era

Black Label Society - In This River (live doom troopin) 25 millions views!!! You wont regreat!!!

They just released "banshee" last year. Great song Also "wholehearted" was a popular song back in the day

I always found this great. These guys could rock it out pretty good.

There's only one way to ROCK. 💥💥💥😎

Really nice one, thanks again.

I grew up seeing this band we were all musicians at the same time playing the same clubs and bars and I do love your reaction to this song... I think I like it more now than when it first came out and they although it put them out in the world in a big way they we're basically a funk rock band with some diverse styles as well... They felt that this song never showcased who they really were but it is their masterpiece 💜

Really Great song. I knew it was going to go onto my all time favorites list the first time I heard it when it came out.

One of my favorite songs!! Makes me tear up- it’s a classic

one of the songs to learn guitar with, back in the day. another great composition (I think) is Song For Love.

I was so happy when I learned this on the guitar many years ago, felt so good to play it. I forgot most about it now but it's a nice song

Hello Miss Bisscute ( Madalina) This Is A Beautiful Song Indeed that reminds me of A Bee Gee's Song as well ( Words ) both make you think about the words We Try to use to touch one's Soul !!! As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🤗🌞🌅

I highly recommend their song, "Hole Hearted". It's funny, how many people think this is a love song.

This song was huge for months and months.

This song and their other song, Whole Hearted, were a couple of my favorites back in the day. They were a fantastic band.

Great song to start 2024 ❤ 🇨🇦

Nuno doesn't get enough credit for his vocals that accompany his master guitar work. This one the few songs of theirs that showcases his great singing voice clearly.

I beg to differ. When people talk about extreme, 99% it's about Nuno and how good he was. Rarely anyone talks about Gary. Heck, many don't even know about his name despite being the main vocalist. They only know Nuno.

Beautiful song

This song was massive in its day and you could not escape it on the radio which was our main choice for music… I never got tired of this song it always gives me chills

He was the 3rd singer of Van Halen. But we don't talk about that

i saw them on the Guitar Legends 92 at Sevilla and was so freakin awesome.

It's cool to see the great results when these 'heavy rock' guys open their hearts. I suggest you listen to "You And Me", "I'll Never Cry", "How You Gonna See Me Now" by the horror rock show master Mr Alice Cooper.

That's one of my favorite extreme songs

She described herself- perfect! 😎❤️

Check out ‘Hole Hearted’ from them. Another great vibe from them

YAY! You're doing this one! 🖤

LOVE its more than words 😊

Yes they sing this so effortlessly. Just like you come on here looking so beautiful so effortlessly 😊

More than words to show you how I love your reaction ;-) If I can remember 'twas 1991 when I was enchanted by this song, I picked up my guitar to look for the chords but I needed 2 voices to sing the song! Lovely memories.

People that typically got their music spoon-fed to them via corporate FM music programming think that this song and Hole Hearted represents the music of Extreme.

this song was from early 90s many of us where teenagers in those times , good song to remamber

I've heard the song before, never knew the name of the group. A beautiful song and I liked your reaction!

I'm 67 it's my favorite song still, thank you.. God bless you ❤️

Nuno Bettencourt is a hugely underrated guitarist, and fun fact he's been the touring guitarist for Rihanna for years 😂 Their song "Play With Me" is great and fun at the same time. You're right that this song isn't representative of the bands usual sound, so be prepared lol. Also the solo in Play With Me absolutely slays!

One of my favorite song 😍

Awesome artists great song!

Very chill song - great pick!

I also remember at this time, Save The Best For Last by Vanessa Williams was big at this time. The band Nelson was also huge. Wow lol. Dating myself a bit eh? I was in college majoring in music with a minor in psychology. Man those were great times. Thank you for the memories lol. Here's to you Bisscute 👏👏👏🍻🍻🍻🤟🤟🤟

Yes, they're great. I told you Biss ;) Gary is great on vocal, Nuno shreds on guitar. They did an oustanding job at Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

They’re singing style, reminds me of the righteous Brothers, very in sync, and very nice to listen to

Always love your reactions Biss! Bob Seger Roll me Away!!! ❤

Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt would later play this at a Nobel Peace Prize concert with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler providing lead vocals.

🎶More than words...Is all you have to do to make it real...Then you wouldn't have to say...That you love me❤'Cause I'd already know🎶

"get the funk out" is the exact opposite, highlights their "Extreme" range of talents effortlessly.
