Members Murdoch Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I tried years and years ago to play lots of Pornograffitti songs. Was NOT ready, and failed miserably. Soon, am going to give it another shot. I think this will be my first go through: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ6qr6X3nSc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Murdoch Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Originally Posted by peavey_impact The solo in get the funk out is just absolutely perfect Yeah it is. When I get the guitar that I'm going to get soon, I've already decided that I'm going to the woodshed, re-commit myself to becoming a much better player. I love the Pornograffitti record, and have always wanted to play the tunes on it. So...going to woodshed that record. My fingers haven't even started on it yet, and they have already pre-emptively informed me that I suck. Learning his solos...Jesus Christ. Can't do Bumblebee, don't have a delay. But that GTFO solo...Christ, dude. I'm already getting frustrated just thinking about what that will do to my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fellow bro, I would suggest III Sides To Every Story, as I am unsure if you liked the 80's shreddy glam rock. If you do, start from the beginning then bro. Tbqh, I am not a fan of Nuno's tone, but the Queen-influenced songs and his rhythms/leads are a great combo which makes Extreme unique and totally underappreciated.

Members ***1776*** Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Extreme wasnt a 80s glam band, thats a simplistic dopey description The 1st album came out in 1989 and they really made it mainstream/more commercial in the 1990s. They were infleunced by bands like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, and Queen, and other acts with some harmonies and instrumentals, they were and are a very tight band Go listen to 3 sides, Pornografitti, Waiting for Punchline, and even the last CD was solid, the debut CD is kinda glammy in *spots* but still a good CD, but Nunos guitar playing is worth the price of ANY CD they made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, there's Little Girls and then there's the debut album: Mutha still kicks ass, especially that intro solo Nuno's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I actually started learning that He Man Woman Hater riff the other night after Loop posted his vid. Then last night after band practice I blasted the album on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
