The office has had to listen to me, for the past day, flub and flounder through my new favorite song, Extreme’s “Play with Me,” on Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s . Now, you can live the GR office experience in your home, office, or radon-flooded basement. Just crank your computer up to fifteen and two-thirds, set it to repeat forever, click on our piss-poor amateur video, and soak in the GR life!
Extreme (or eXTreMe, for you case-sensitive folks) is the same Extreme of “More Than Words” and “Hole Hearted” ballad fame. Something happened between 1989’s “Play with Me” and the 1991 ballads. My guess is less coke.
Anyway, if you don’t want to listen to the whole song, you might skip to the insane glam-rock meets “Flight of the Bumblebee” guitar solo. I’m barely able to get through it on “hard.” Extreme on “extreme” difficulty, if my mathometry is right, equals Extreme Squared. That’s too much extreme. If my fingers get to 88 miles per hour, I’ll meet you back in the future.

| Don't judge Extreme's second album by the ballads it is unrightfully remembered for. I agree Play With Me rules, but the heavier stuff on Pornograffitti is considerably better AND more f-ed up than their self titled in general. |
