Omg, I remember my mom buying the LP for me and the guy at store was like "you know it's kinda hard rock" and my mom was like "yeah, so what?" And then she run into Nuno in Boston and she had the guts to ask for an autograph for me and my brother 😂 She was the best. I miss her so much

Nuno is a legend!!
The song is transcendental. Still in my top five favorites since 1990. Thanks for this music Nuno and Steven
I was 13 yrs old when this song came out and every girl in my high school loved it. I dont think Nuno and Gary realised that it will be such a hit even for young people.
More than words is my favorite Extreme song. Why? Because it’s just.....beautiful.
The entire album is a masterpiece. To this day, I listen to it on regular basis. Simply perfect!
Nuno is awesome! Loved it!!
I love Nuno!! Saw them do this song in 1990 in Springfield, MO and have been in love ever since!!! They opened for Winger. Extreme's performance has always stayed with me. One of the best I've ever seen!! Especially when they did this song!! Hooked for life!
I dont think nuno would realise that this song still hit to teenager in this era. Man when i played this song in guitar my friends always ask what is this song and they love it. Man can't imagine how can this song released in 90 and still sounding like it was released this day. Such a masterpiece
Awesome... love Nuno... loved Extreme. Living in RI these guys were coming up 40 miles north of us... I could see them all the time. I had buddies who’s band opened for them. A kid I used to jam with ... his girlfriend was friends with the drummers girl. It was amazing to watch them come up and finally break. Good stuff.🎸💪👍🥃
Extreme were the first band I ever obsessed over. I was 11. I still love them aged 45. UK resident.
I love Extreme More Than Words❤️❤️❤️ Listened since a kid and still listening to it and singing with Nuno and Gary.
Imagine write a song that will last till the end of the time. What a beautiful song
Nuno just took me back to my first Extreme show, Paramount Theater in Springfield MA 1991. Pornograffitti had been blowing my mind since I'd bought it on release day. A friend scammed our way to the front row and my life changed. Gary was out of his mind running around (while singing pitch perfect) and watching Nuno do Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee from 5 or 6 feet away was beyond amazing. And yes, More Than Words was a great moment in the show. I loved shred guitar but still understood the genius of balancing it with gorgeous melodies over a simple acoustic riff. I know this isn't the place for a concert review but what an unforgettable show. (Danger Danger opened and i remember they were a ripping good live band. Andy Timmons was a nice guy, I met him outside earlier that day and we chatted about guitars for awhile. His solo albums are stellar;)
I was one of those who really loved the song when it first came out and I'm glad it made it all the way to the top of the Billboard which was a big deal back then.
The vulnerability in that song is so beautiful
I would buy whatever Nuno is involved in
What a beast. Nuno is hot as hell!!! Love ya!!!💖 Nice boots Nuno👍🤟

Gorgeous man
Bought Extreme's 1st album because of Bill and Ted. Who knew I'd end up buying every one of their albums and still listening all these years. III Sides album's the best, though.
love it so much!
What a story teller :) :) I can picture Baz yelling "Duuude !!" I bought Porno after reading a simple interview in Hard Rock Magazine when the band was totally unknown in France. The description made by the journalist and Gary's replies were so intense... 1st and last time I did buy a record without hearing a single note of a band.
Saigon Kick was doing the "anything goes" style as well.

Yes! When they opened on the III Sides tour, what a show that was. The only time I saw them live, sadly. Definitely high up on the "should have been huge" list;

I could listen for hours!
In the mid 80s,Extreme had a local hit video,Mutha Don't Wanna Go To School Today, on a UHF channel in Boston called V66. That's how I was introduced to Extreme.

Years ago Nuno said he "spread himself a little thin" on this album, not only playing-wise but guitar tone too, hence the far drier production on the next album. Paid off though, 30 years on and it still makes my head spin;

Nice boots Nuno👍🤟
At the end of this interview, the closed captioning typed that Nuno said "he (Gary) had a black guy. One shoe off." Nuno actually said: "he had a black eye." Gary would put black eye makeup around one eye as a tribute to the dog on the old "Little Rascals" TV show. Nuno and Gary loved that show. That's where "He-Man Woman-Hater" came from. It was the name of the Little Rascals' clubhouse.
iloveu nuno 😘😘😘

Bill and Ted is how I got hooked on Extreme!
Cool dude
I remember seeing Extreme open for Bon Jovi in Philly. And I was there to see Extreme. At about the second song in, Gary said "Ok, we're almost finished, I know you want to see Bon Jovi!" I was like "What?" "Are there people booing them up front?" "Are you fucking kidding me?" But, they were great and when Bon Jovi came on, you couldn't hear shit because the place was going nuts, So, I left.
The Goo Goo Dolls were like that too. They had some heavy tracks with a totally different singer on their albums but you had to listen to the whole album as it was.
How can you not know what you're getting when the band is called 'EXTREME' and has a logo that pointy?
at this time two hardos songs appears ! "more than words" and " to be with you" , i remember , the romantics and co , and with an acoustic guitar , just listen to acoustics songs in the 70's ...i was a crosby stills nash and Young , fan or cat Stevens , simon and , Taylor etc and compare... these two songs made me laugh ! i just imagine eddie van halen and roth with an acoustic guitar ....closed eyes, little flowers in the hair , tralalalaaaaa ! sorry its funny but my English is poor ! ahahah ! dont know if you understand ...
I believe that the group by Bread.......... originally...?
What was the original bach composition used in this song ?? ( It was bach , ik that much .... But can't pin point the piece )

@@nunobettencourt3670 Thanks for your reply Nuno. I really love your work brother. First time I heard Extreme was the Pornografiti album back in the early/mid 90's and it blew me away. I've also got Extreme(1) + Extreme(3) and I love all 3 albums. I would've loved to come and see you guys live when you came to Perth, W.Australia a couple of years ago, but unfortunately and annoyingly I wasn't able to get to the show. Stay safe, take care and keep ROCKING mate👏🤘👍🇦🇺
Before Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), this was the song to know on acoustic if you wanted to get laid as a teen.
Canon snares lol
Yep! Nuno is still hot like always!
1:50 Nuno: All the ballads out that time were power ballads with big canon snares... here we are with an acoustic guitar Yeah, but Nuno is on the guitar so that's unfair
Not gay, but what a beautiful man.
He, forgot his sister she also knew that song would be a hit if I remember it correct 🤔

Extreme would have been much bigger a band had MTW and Pornographiti NOT come out when it did (better if it had come out earlier) OR Nirvana should have never come out , bc Nevermind was the album and culture change that sidelined great bands like Extreme- but, it is what it is. Look who’s still alive and rocking out……..: Extreme
