The fact that there are people who never heard this song before is to me, haha.

[scapito]

Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist, is a musicians musician. He has written and arranged songs for Janet Jackson, Janes Addiction, Toni Braxton, Julian Lennon, etc. He tours with mega artists today like Rhianna (including her Superbowl performance). This list doesn't really do him justice, it's just what I can remember quickly off the top of my head. He's a beast on the guitar, but truly an artist first.

Prince once said Nuno was a top 3 guitarist in the world.

From this, you'd never know that Nino Bettencourt is one of the most killer guitar shredders to come out of the late Eighties. 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽
He does look Native, but he's Portuguese/American. 👍🏽

[jeffmorse]

There is nothing better sounding to me than two perfectly matched voices harmonizing.

[KarriSimone]

Omg my 90's radio nostalgia is glowing up

That is Gary Cherone and the great Nuno Bettencourt on guitar. They are a harder rock band and did this to get some radio air play. Thanks for doing this song. Your interpertation of actions speak louder than words is spot on. Please do their song Hole-Hearted and Get the Funk Out.

Steven Tyler says this is his all time favourite song because it is so well crafted and the vocals are perfection.😊 I love it because it’s just so beautiful. ❤

[tiffanytosh]

This is one of the most epic songs ever! I love Nuno Bettencourt❤️

[Johnnyultra]

Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist, is one of the GOATS .
He is incredible.

More, Extreme:
Get the Funk Out
Play with Me
Kid Ego
Mutha (Don't Wanna Go to School Today)
Brian May, Guitarist for Queen, said the guitar solo in, Get the Funk Out is the best he's EVER heard! 🔥🔥

[jackaubrey]

Oh dude, you GOTTA see their performance at the Freddie Mercury concert. Brian May told them to do their own music, but when Gary and Nuno met, they discovered their favorite band was Queen, and as a test of one another's musical taste, they immediately said, "ok, on three, say your favorite Quren album, one, two, three, " and as soon as they said the same album title at the same time they knew they had to collaborate. Nuno quit his band immediately, and joined Gary's band. Their part of the Freddie Mercury concert is the highlight of the show, because they told Brian they were doing Queen material anyway, which upset him, so he gave them an intro that threw down the gauntlet on them, basically challenging Extreme to really bring it.
I've seen them perform live, and they play everything they put on their albums.
This song was the softest, most Charmin song they released, mixed in with Frank Sinatra-style music, hard rock, pop rock, funk, prog, their musical scope encompassing exactly what their name is: Extreme.
Their song "Play With Me", an ode to childhood playground games, was used in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, so do check that out. Also listen to "Flight Of The Wounded Bumblebee", a guitar solo Nuno HAS to play at every show.
More Than Words is Extreme's biggest hit, practically making them seem like a one hit wonder, but for once, this is a band with other great songs, catchy grooves, tasty licks and incredible guitar work. Even Brian May of Queen has a video of himself reacting to what he believes is the greatest guitar solo of all time, by Nuno, from Get the Funk Out, another song you have to look into.

53 in sept and let me tell you the 80s had the greatest music

[Bumperump]

Released in 1990 (34 yrs ago, damn!!) bought the 45 vinyl and played it on my record player every single day for eons. Still have the 45, my daughter talked me into giving her my record player about 7yrs ago. There was no way I'd part with my 45 though 🤣😂

[donnamiley]

This song been around for decades. It's such a classic ballad.

[jamiegriffin]

Hole Hearted by Extreme is a must listen❤❤

[romanoperelli]

Yes, Gary Cherone is a great singer but the real star in Extreme is the guitarist, Nuno Bettencourt. Their fame was very short lived in the very early 90's. They had a great hit beside "More than words", maybe my favorite Extreme song: "Get the funk out". They reunited in 2023 and their single "Rise" made a big impression amongst we the fans, mainly for the crazy guitar solo and Cherone's still pristine voice at 62 years of age. Also Cherone was Van Halen's singer for a few years in the late 90's.

[One_Proud_Papa]

This band can definitely get Extreme! "Get the Funk Out" has got to be the next song.

[teresajackson]

My husband died when this song came out and I used it at the funeral love this song he had a brain tumor he couldn't talk and he couldn't talk

[staciemoisa]

I fell in love with this song from the first time I heard it on the radio.
