t/s Extreme's "More Than Words" - Is it about sex or not?

Handjobs to "More Than This" by Roxy Music

Is this supposed to be the largest margin ever?

I think somehow pitting one of the best songs in the world with one of the worst songs in the world might be a stroke of genius. Anyone gonna vote for Extreme?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

both of these songs are highly melodic, i don't know what Geir's problem is

"More Than Words" is alright, y'know? But obv it is not "More Than This".

X-Post: One is a classic new romantic moment, the other one represents a rather shit genre - hair metal. (Although Extreme actually went on and followed it with a great Queen-influenced concept-ish album a couple years later)

― Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 09:04 (fourteen years ago)

god I am so sick of the relentless cock-rocking and slick glam riffs of Hair Metal classic "More Than Words"

― aka best bum of the o_O's (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 09:10 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, and the waving of a lighter in the video.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 09:11 (fourteen years ago)

can't "tell more than words" from "be with you" tbh

― sonderangerbot, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:11 (fourteen years ago)

sacrilege

― England's banh mi army (ledge), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:11 (fourteen years ago)

outside of the completely different chord progressions and melody, you mean?

― my downeaster ilxor (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:12 (fourteen years ago)

They have similar arrangements, I guess. But so does every single acoustic folk song.

― Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:15 (fourteen years ago)

hang on, it's an acoustic folk Hair Metal track? we need a thread for this genre, stat

― aka best bum of the o_O's (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:25 (fourteen years ago)

there are obviously differences but they're similar enough that we didn't need them both is all i'm saying

― sonderangerbot, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:25 (fourteen years ago)

i doubt anyone here would complain if all trace and memory of "be with you" were wiped from existence.

― England's banh mi army (ledge), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:29 (fourteen years ago)

it cannot hold a candle to guitar god nuno bettencourt's delicate and sensitive fingerstyle evocation of the love beyond words.

― England's banh mi army (ledge), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 11:32 (fourteen years ago)

how can you deny the smouldering wordless passion that flows from the fingertips of this lustrous haired adonis

how has "more than words" not been covered by a country artist yet? seems like a gimme

― brad whitford, witchfynder general (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Tuesday, 7 June 2011 12:20 (fourteen years ago)

I seem to recall Extreme, before this and the Van Halen debacle, actually earning some degree of cred.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 7 June 2011 12:31 (fourteen years ago)

"Three Sides To Every Story" was a great album.

"More Than This" obv. "More Than Words" would just be a perfectly innocuous song if it didn't remind me of how when it came out, everyone around me kept going on about how it was the real deal bc it was all acoustic guitars etzzzzzz.

― daavid, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 02:34 (fourteen years ago)

who said that, housewives?

― my downeaster ilxor (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 8 June 2011 11:23 (fourteen years ago)

even Nuno Bettencourt grew to hate the song!

― my downeaster ilxor (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 8 June 2011 11:23 (fourteen years ago)

Hmm, not the largest margin ever..

― Mark G, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 11:24 (fourteen years ago)

yeah "Words" had a respectable showing!
