Oh No. Have They Committed The Ultimate Sin?!
@Extreme_Band are back with yet another single from this quite frankly fantastic new album. It’s called Other Side Of The Rainbow. A lot of you have asked me to react to this Extreme song as you fear I may be critical of some very particular lyrics in it. A lot of you know my feelings around this. Have Extreme just committed the ultimate songwriting sin? Tell me what you think in the comments.
You can watch Extreme’s music video here: https://youtu.be/Nx_b5nytSWA

I don't think it's intended as a rhyme

Give that singer a scythe or something to hold and stop doing whatever he remembers from the Karate Kid

Spot on Justin… Extreme is one of my favorite's of all time. Kick ass comeback and beautiful tune.

I think the change of key on “crazaaaay” makes the rhyming ok. I’ll allow it lol

Best song in a long long long time ; best album in a long long long time – oh and that guitar solo again .

You should check out their new one The mask it's really interesting seeing Nuno sing lead
@ginamarandino6451

You should actually see this in concert because when Nuno goes and does his guitar solo Gary jumps in and does acoustic and he looks very uncomfortable doing so but you have to give him props for jumping in and trying 😊

Very poppy song.

Baby… crazy… brilliant! Never heard that rhyme (or non rhyme) before!
Very Nickleback-ish imo.

Man. We were in St. Louis 4 months ago. Wish we could have seen you.
I always wished Hole Hearted had an acoustic solo in the vein of Midnight Express. Even More than Words had that little coda at the end.

People get so precious with rhyming and linguist particularities, but and too busy with their high school English analytical knowledge to be able to grasp the poetic maliability of song writing. There is a world looking for a classical prose in a land where creativity fights not to lay froze'en. Xox

Very entertaining review! How can I not subscribe after this gem at 2:52 ? "Nuno's got one of those heads that really suits that kind of hat." In all seriousness, enjoying listening to this album several times over and reading all the comments!

I'd way rather never have had than to have had to never have had is only half bad but to taste togetherness n all that it's worth n then return to loneliness is the deepest hurt

Well seems I'm the only one that thinks this song is a mess, mediocre at best and completely overrated

Another great video Justin! Thank you.

Extreme is completely underrated. Harmonies perfect, band perfect, new album excellent!

Based on this song, I won't be listening to The Extreme.

I'm glad someone else notice the clothing. What the hell is Gary wearing?
@TheDRAMSuk
August 21, 2025 at 12:50 pm
I agree with you Justin, the Maybe and Baby are the Rhyming parts, the Crazy changes pitch ( perfectly I might add ).
Love your channel please keep it up and Rock on !

Justin, love ya, but insisting on people making proper rhymes, that train left the station long ago. Even rappers who should be held to a higher standard because their currency is language, started cutting corners a couple decades back.

It's a very funny experience hearing this song for the first time in this way. Now I'm going to listen to it….propahly.

In 1982 Jeff Spicoli saves Brooke Shields from drowning and promptly blows the reward money hiring Van Halen to play his birthday party. In 2023, some lad in St. Louis proves the adage that life imitates art. (St. Louis is my town. If I had seen you at the local coffee shop (Kaldi's) I would have been like . . . "was that . . . nah, no way . . . couldn't have been.")
