Topic: Pornograffitti


In the News (Thu 8 Jan 09)

  
  Pornograffitti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pornograffitti (also titled as Extreme II: Pornograffitti) was the second and most successful album released by Boston funk-metal band Extreme.
Pornograffitti was recorded and mixed at Scream Studios, Studio City, Los Angeles, California with producer Michael Wagener.
Thematically, Pornograffitti may be loosely described as a concept album.

Pornograffitti was the first album I owned with a Parental Advisory sticker.
Pornograffitti of course spawned the aforementioned early hit Hole Hearted, but it was the ballad More Than Words that really sent swooning girls to the shelves to pick up the album.
Pornograffitti is thirteen songs long and features the aforementioned Bettencourt on guitar, Cherone on vocals, Paul Geary on drums, and Pat Badger on bass.

 Daily Vault - August 8, 1997
Pornograffitti came at the tail end of the heavy metal Roman empire in the late 80s and early 90s.
The rest of the album is either too innocent and poppy for the Tool-dominated hard rock stations or from the fact that many radio stations don't want to acknowledge that cheesy heavy metal were their bread and butter in the late 80s.
Pornograffitti was a mini-concept album, which Extreme would embrace fully with their next release III Sides To Every Story.

 III Sides to Every Story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, no final single "truth" is given -- instead, the album builds up to a grand finale where the listener is left with a question: "Who Cares?".
In spite of being considered by the band to be their finest work, III Sides To Every Story was a commercial failure, since it did not feature a hit single such as "More Than Words", from its predecessor Pornograffitti.
Also, the particular brand of hard rock that Extreme was known for was falling out of flavor with the rise of the grunge movement around that time.

 Extreme - Waiting for the Punchline   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Granted, their first album, the self-titled "Extreme", offered little proof of this, it was a combat ready hard rock album that nicely showcased the fact that guitarist Nuno Bettencourt was one of the greats.
But with the release of their funk/metal/groove album, "Pornograffitti", and progressive rock opera "III Sides to Every Story" it became clear that Extreme was an exceptional band that had no desire to be pigeonholed (Clear to everyone but faggy rock critics that is.)
Whereas their first album was powered by several tits and ass tributes and "Pornograffitti's" success was fueled by a vapid love ballad, Waiting's lyrics were almost exclusively philosophical ponderances on subjects like fame, religion and physical appearances.

 Extreme - Satan Stole My Teddybear
For whatever reason, between the debut and Pornograffitti, Extreme figured out who they were as songwriters and the difference is amazing.
After coming off the surprise success of Pornograffitti and its monsterously huge single "More Than Words" (which is so not the proper represenation of this band), Extreme put out the most ambitious record of their entire career, which of course meant they were spiralling back into rock obscurity at a maddening pace.
There are a couple inclusions from the debut and their last studio release, Waiting for the Punchline (which, once the joke was told, was that their days as a high selling act were long over).

On their first two albums, Extreme (1989) and Pornograffitti (1990), the band supplemented their sleek brand of heavy metal with funk syncopations (“Get The Funk Out”), intricate horn charts (“Li’l Jack Horny”), acoustic interludes (“More Than Words” and “Hole Hearted”), and even dabbled in Sinatra-style balladeering (“When I First Kissed You”).
Lyrically they’ve explored subjects as diverse as sex in the media (“Pornograffitti”), the crucifixion of Christ (“Watching, Waiting”) and the perils of stardom (“Kid Ego”).
The next thing we decided was that the first side would be guitar-oriented, the second side would explore the more atmospheric side of the band and the third side would use an orchestra.

'Pornograffitti' runs in at over an hour and was perhaps Extreme's finest masterpiece.
Cherone is believed to be working on a solo album, whilst Bettencourt has slipped further into obscurity.

From "Pornograffitti", listen to Decadence Dance, It('s a Monster), Pornograffitti and Suzi.
He has a depth in his lyrics that is beyond comparison, and he certainly shouldn't be judged by the odd Pornograffitti era single that has been pulled out of its context.
You are very right, we are incredibly proud of him (as we are of all the guys in Extreme) and we hope that you'll become so too.

I hand him several small fl-and-white snapshots of Extreme, taken while they were making their last album, Pornograffitti.
Nuno is pictured doodling on his guitar, hair pulled back, a shy smile on his face, delighted at finally getting the attention he'd been seeking for so long.

Big, Night Ranger), they had a huge smash hit ballad and that's the way most people thought of them.
Pornograffitti is a pretty good cd filled with a mix of styles, mostly hard rock with lots of great vocals and a touch of funk.
WHEN I FIRST KISSED YOU is a nice song but out of place (although it certainly demonstrates they were multi-faceted).

Extreme and more precisely "Pornograffitti" have never been fully recognised as much as they should be.
This is not right, as they should be up in hall of fame for the genre along with Living Colour and Faith No More, another two great bands who were much more widely appreciated.
While Extreme went on to some more alternative/progressive stuff with "III Sides To Every Story", "Pornograffitti" remains their defining moment.
