Jimmy Fallon and Jack Black did a great parody of this song. This isn’t typical generally more rock.

"Get The Funk Out" will definitely show you the "extreme" side of this group. It's another of their hits, and it will have you moving for sure. Big club hit back in the day!

Hey Britt.. watch the official video of this.. its a great song

Nuno Bettencourt is one of the greatest guitar players to ever live. Extreme have lots of rockin' tracks and they just had a huge comeback album in 2023 the album was called "Six" and have a song called "Rise" where Nuno shows his talent in the guitar solo. Also the singer Gary Cherone had a brief stint as the singer of Van Halen.

Where were these boys hiding? Two soft tenors and a well played guitar are all that's required for pop goodness.

OK now that you have seen this, you have to see Jack Black and Jimmy Fallon singing this song it’s amazing

Those "people" on the stage are the rest of the group.

This song is such a beautiful love song. They don't make music like this much anymore. Love your reaction! ♥

Ok, now you have to hear their son "Get the Funk Out". When I was 19 years old, these guys used to play at local club/bar that was 18 and up near me before they made it BIG. I went to check them out with four other people on what turned out to be their last gig there because this song skyrocketed them into stardom shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, after the opening band "Paradox" played, my girlfriend and her friend were like "I want to leave". So, I never got to see them. The club was called The Livingroom and it would have been awesome to see them there. I had seen quite a few bands there and it was a blast back in the good ole days!

Nuno Bettencourt was the lead guitarist on several of Rihanna's tours and has played with a number of other artists as well. The other guy, lead singer Gary Cherone, had an ill-fated stint as Van Halen's front man for a minute.

1:15 “Gentle.” 😂 Check out Kid Ego, Decadence Dance, Teacher’s Pet, Get the Funk Out, Mutha Don’t Wanna Go to School Today, Play with me and Rest in Peace

That first singer ended up as the third singer of Van Halen after Dave and Sammy. For 1 album and tour.

They play music from one extreme to the other

Excellent song to just listen to for the harmonies. A guitar and two vocals harmonizing...doesn't get a whole lot better than that ❤ Their studio version is a must listen to!

Britt, please react to another great live performance on The Midnight Special from 1975, Peter Frampton, Do You Feel Like We do. It's longer than most songs you react to, but it's unique as you'll see when you watch it. I think you'll induct him into your PDC.

Extreme was a fairly obscure hard rock band that hadn't had any popular success until they suddenly released this ballad which went straight to #1. It's not uncommon for hard rock bands to score their biggest hits with unexpected ballads (e.g., Kiss with "Beth") Extreme had a catchy follow-up hit ("Hole Hearted," #4 in 1991) and then faded out again.

LOL "faded out"....Nino is one of the best gtr players to ever walk this planet. Most people do not know this. Just because you are not in the mainstream does not mean you just faded away. They recently released a new album and its amazing.

Extreme's debut album track "Play With Me" was used in Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure, featuring some very high tempo guitar work from Nuno. Check out his solo, "Flight of the Wounded Bumble Bee" and also their song "Rock a Bye Bye", which ends with what seems like a hidden track, one of the most hauntingly beautiful guitar solos of all time. Then check out "Stop The World", "Tragic Comic", "Cupid's Dead", "When I'm President", "Rise", "Other Side of the Rainbow" and their entire set from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, where Sir Doctor Brian May personally introduced them.

That's the bassist and drummer on stage. Many of their other songs are very Extreme!

This is their biggest hit, but it's not really representative of their whole catalog. They have some other great tunes that are really hard rock. There were people who purchased the album with this song on it because they figured there'd be more songs like this, but when they got it, they weren't happy because the rest was heavy rock stuff, and some would take the album back to the record stores and ask for their money back.

It just occurred to me you would actually love this band because on every album they do a song that has a spiritual vibe to it. Am I ever going to change, stop the world, and off their new album x out those are three right off the top of my head that I think you would really enjoy.

This is such a beautiful song. Always been a favorite 😊❤

This has been one of my favorite songs since I was a kid when this song came out.

I couldn't see who was on stage in this live, but in the video it's the members of the band. They are extreme because their catalog goes from this to metal and all the way back to a cover of Frank Sinatra. Sidenote, the lead singer is Gary Cherone, who was the 3rd singer for Van Halen.

I had the pleasure to see them Live in concert!

This is a rarity for them. Every album they do one softer song. They are truly a rock band with a twist of jazz and funk. I absolutely love their song when I first kissed you, that would totally get them into the PDC.

They just released a new album last year and they are fantastic!!!! They didn't miss a beat I honestly think you would love their song over the rainbow

Their entire album is phenomenal. Plenty of hard hitters like "Kid Ego" and "Do You Wanna Play" and a couple of surprises like "Watching, Waiting" and Rock-a-byebye"

NUNO BETTENCOURT, the guitar player, was (idk if he still is) the Guitarist for Rihanna

The drummer and bass player didn't have a part in this song.....their biggest hit but they usually play a hard rock, funk style. The guitar player also toured with Rihanna.

Just seen them about a month ago, still amazing and an awesome live band. And for those that have heard "Rise", yes, he nails the solo, nothing studio about it.

Tank You for your reactions.... love your dimples

Their music is "Extreme." They go from a love ballad to blues to heavy metal. You need to watch the studio black and white version. I saw them before they hit it big. I highly recommend listening to "The First Time Ever I Kissed you. Amazing.

I love your reaction, especially when it's someone you haven't heard before. I wonder if you've ever heard Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton John sing "suddenly"? There's a video with them (maybe late 70's or early 80's) where they're on a balcony and then walking into an apartment where there's a fire going in the fireplace. I think you'll like that duet as well.

Great Song...thank you for bringing back this memory for me

Brit- the official video is so beautiful- you will love it!

Now that youve seen this, check out the other side of extreme. "Get the funk out" is a rocker

oh no a live version again. still beautiful though

Check out Decadence Dance from the same album. Certified banger!

The guitarist is Nuno Bettencourt. He's Rihanna's musical director, to name one. Awesome hard rock guitar player like Extreme is normally.

I always thought they were brothers too, but they're not related. The name "Extreme" is apparently a reference to two of the band members working together before in a band called The Dream, i.e. "Ex-Dream"

Believe it or not the gtr player is one of the most technically proficient gtr players to ever walk the planet. HIs name is Nino Bettencourt and he is a Gtr players favorite Gtr player. The man is a BEAST with a six string. He is very humble and most people do not know how good he actually is. Just a incredible musician. They just recently put out another studio album their first in like almost 20 yrs and they still are amazing.

I remember this being a big hit in early 90's I think. It's the only song I remember from them, but I seem to remember, at the time, some saying their songs are mostly of the heavy metal type.

Britt as others have said you should listen to the studio (album) version or official video of a song as your first listen cause that's the way we all heard it for the first time. Some bands do sound better live (Foghat , Frampton) but most have a hard time matching the studio quality live. The band Boston is a good example cause in the studio the singer did all the harmonies himself by multitracking those vocals. Couldn't do that live.

❤❤❤❤ Beautiful song 😊 Great vocals!

If you ever watch a live Rihanna video you might notice Nuno there playing guitar. He's been her guitar player for ages.

There's a song with a very similar message called "When You Say Nothing At All". The best cover of it IMO is by Alison Kraus.

Nuno Bettencourt on the guitar is gorgeous! He also has played guitar for Rihanna on all of her world tours. They are not related.

It seems that almost every rock band has a ballad that winds up being a big hit. It happened to Extreme also as they're primarily a true rock band. Truth be known, they don't like performing this song and they hate that it defines them.

Nuno Bettencourt is the guitarist and he RIPS. He tells a great story about meeting Eddie Van Halen. Check it out for some background and a laugh.

Beautiful song and very meaningful... actions do speak loader than words. No they're not related, just played together a long time... More than Words is Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, is 1990 and a laid back ballade, "Hole Hearted" was another good song on that album, Extreme were a hair metal band at the time - though more funk metal - are two other members in the band Pat Badger (bassist) and Mike Mangini (drummer) I think at that time. Nuno was born in the Azores he's Portuguese. Certain guitarist you can really pick out and Nuno is a damn great guitarist is one of those distinct like Jeff Beck, EVH, SRV or Santana - a musician can pick him out. Off the top of my head, he played on Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation - song "Black Cat", and Brian May from Queen once said Nuno's solo on Extreme's "Get the Funk Out" was extraordinary and a game changer.

They're not brothers. Just super talented. As others have recommended, check out one of their other songs with the full band.

Love this song, show your love not say it I remember that song growing up. Haven't heard it 4 ever Thanks, Britt. great song for today
