Extreme, "More Than Words"




30 years ago, I was a sophomore at UCSC, but most of my hometown friends were seniors in high school. One of which was Kuma. In April 1991, she and her sister Maddie (my year) visited me at UCSC. Kuma let me know that she decided to go to UC Davis, so I was bummed that yet another friend would not be joining me at UCSC. In addition, Maddie said that she was on track to finish up at the JC level, and transfer to CSU Long Beach.

All three of us were surprised, that glam metal band Extreme had a hit, with the vocal-and-acoustic-guitar "More Than Words." It was one thing to crossover into the mainstream, but on college campuses, kids would break out their acoustic guitar, try to mimic Nuno Bettancourt, and then sing along. In the video, the bass player and drummer shut down, and step aside.

"More Than Words" had us looking forward to having someone who could not just say "I love you," but show it.

Maddie had to do a double-take, that "More Than Words" is now 30 years-old. Anyway, due to the variety of writing partners I use, the sequencing of my product reviews is often out of order. Kuma now lives in Seattle, but recently came back to the Bay. She will be my writing partner, in an upcoming product post.
