This wasn't so much a cover of "Strutter," as it was Extreme using the song as the spine for a wider tribute medley to much of the Kiss catalog. And it was fun!
Paul Stanley contributed backing vocals on this.."but when she waaaaaa aa aaants" LOVE this version. Nuno's tone: Washburn N$ with Bill Lawrence pickups, vintage 63 Fender Vibroverb + Nuno's fingers.
I love KISS, but this is AWESOME!!! What an amazing arrangement. I like this more. Gary Cherone is a fantastic vocalist and front man, and his voice is much better than Paul Stanley's. I like how Extreme threw in the riffs from "God Of Thunder" and the chorus of "Shout It Out Loud. I am a major Extreme fan.
Super cover. Grew up with Kiss in the 70s, posters on the wall, in the KIss Army. IMO this is better than the original, except of course Kiss wrote and arranged the original. Never listened to this band before intentionally, found the Kiss My Ass CD in a store for $4. My favorite cover from that album.
This is more of a slow heavy metal cover, not a rock n' roll song. Original song is more of a rock n' roll song, more energetic, faster, pure hard rock song. Even though the vocals in this one is good, no one can beat Paul!
Not as low-down & dirty as the original, but Extreme always does excellent covers. Does anybody remember the Queen medley they did at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert? It was transcendent. They always put their spin on things and add in clever bits ("God of Thunder" riff). I like the original better, simply because I like the rawness of it, but this is worthwhile.

If they just did a straight cover i'm sure it would be good. But almost every song on that "Kiss my Ass" album was a "re-interpreted" version of the original. Anthrax's "She" was an exception.
If you like slow, heavy metal songs, this one is for you. But saying that this is better than the original is like comparing apples to oranges. Anyone who listen to KISS for rock n' roll is going to get bored by this song. It's all about personal taste.
Para mi gusto, las canciones de Kiss son muy buenas, pero nunca me gustado como suenan, ni sus voces ni como están grabadas. Por eso he comentado que PARA MI el disco de versiones es una bendicion porque al fin puedo escucharlas de forma mas agradable. ¿se entiende lo que quiero decir?
Strutter is all about classic rock n roll. This recording is good but it destroys the purpose completely. I can't call this a cover. I'd say it's a song inspired by strutter.
Love it, slower and funky. Clever version!
I think it is the best strutter cover that i have ever heard in my whole life.
Love Kiss & Extreme. This version is brilliant.

Best band ever!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Very cool guitar work
Hi from Spain. I always was a great KISS fan, but i must say this cover is amazing.
Extreme so amazing. Nuno Bettencourt best guitarist on planet .... First Eddie Van Halen R.I.P. ✝️❤️
love how the guitar played
Kiss and Extreme are two of my fave bands so love this version.......best of both worlds......great song but now with funk!!
i've been trying to get rock radio to play this cover, clever work from a brilliant band.
Loved it when it came out in "95, and still love it today....the nod to "Heavens On Fire" at 3:30 still gives me chills!
What about the "God of Thunder" part? That's pretty cool as well.
Paul Stanley contributed backing vocals on this.."but when she waaaaaa aa aaants" LOVE this version. Nuno's tone: Washburn N$ with Bill Lawrence pickups, vintage 63 Fender Vibroverb + Nuno's fingers.
Fender amps I wish more guitarists would use them... Big love
Those damn fingers. Anyone know where I can get myself a set????
Amazing!
Nuno's tone!!!!! Fucking awesome
Such a rad cover.
"Wait, wait! I got the end! TADADADA TADADADA"
Don't really get the all negative comments. This is BY FAR better than anything Kiss has ever done.
I feel bad that you don't understand the style of KISS at all.

Beautiful solo 😍
AWESOMEEEEEEEEE

Se o Nuno conseguiu fazer cover de Queen e ficar melhor, imagine com o Kiss...pé nas costas. Baita cover!! Funk metal rock na veia!
Nuno adds some funk to this, a far cry from Strutter '78
Better than Kiss's version. The leads and bg vocals are crushing here. Great raw rock tones on all the instruments too. Miss the 90s
Its off of the 1994 KISS Tribute cd called KISS My Ass.
Heaps better than the original. Nothing against kiss but this has everything. Wish I could play like that.

I can’t believe I’m saying that I like this.
interesting cover
NIICe...where do you get this stuff from?!?!? :D Thanks for sharing...

@WEINBAUER I also liked how the incorporated God of Thunder.
did anybody catch the god of thunder riff for the solo? thats a very cool nod the boys in whiteface
Yeah it's cool... Did you catch the Heavens on Fire part?
+gary bruce where? at which part? I missed it
@TompaSWE1 too*
Is Paul singing some BVs on this? Haven't heard this in a long time. Clever cover but weakly produced at times.
hmm
This sounds good if you dont compare it to the original. You cant go from the original straight to this.
You really don't understand the "Fuel" of this song by extreme frrom KISS, it's a pity Man.
This version has some Sass to it but I'll stake the original. Hell, I'd take Stutter '78 over this one

I never heard of this 'extreme' band, they can't be the same 'extreme' who recorded 'te extrano' .... But sweet cover
This would have been a better cover if only it was at least as fast as the original version.
Not a f´n COVER.
That´s a VERSION
Mejorar a Kiss no es difícil, el disco de versiones Kiss My Ass es superior de principio a fin en todo, interpretaciones, voces, sonido...en fin todo.
Martin Notar Superar a KISS es fácil???
Para mi gusto, las canciones de Kiss son muy buenas, pero nunca me gustado como suenan, ni sus voces ni como están grabadas. Por eso he comentado que PARA MI el disco de versiones es una bendicion porque al fin puedo escucharlas de forma mas agradable. ¿se entiende lo que quiero decir?
Martin Notar Ya comprendo amigo...igual mi opinión es diferente jaja
Wtf
too slow
Egh. I’ll stick with KISS.
Strutter is all about classic rock n roll. This recording is good but it destroys the purpose completely. I can't call this a cover. I'd say it's a song inspired by strutter.
fucking awful, Extreme should be ashamed of this. i have no problem with anyone having their own take on a song but this is murder!
Awful
THIS IS AWFUL
THIS IS AWFULL IS THIS SAPOSED TO BE AN INSULT TO KISS OR SOMETHING?
this is awful lol
