Extreme, 'Save Me' -- New Video

Extreme has released a powerful new video for their track "Save Me" off their album SIX. Of the dark and claustrophobic nature of the video, guitarist (and clip director) Nuno Bettencourt explains:

“This video was shot with a very claustrophobic feel to show the raw emotion of the heavy subject matter of the song. It was important to shoot it this way to create a lack of oxygen in a black void as if 'we' are the voices in your heads… in our own heads, to visually put across the psychological battle of whispers and screams we have all dealt with in coping with life’s challenges.

Gary’s schizophrenic vocals in the verses is the dark narrator in our heads, taunting and pushing us to a dangerous edge… whereas in the refrain, his impassioned plea— 'Save me from myself / Save me from this hell…' —is our voice that is screaming in our heads but often painfully silent on the outside.

The viewer sometimes can’t tell where one face ends and the other begins. Like we are small pieces of a human jigsaw puzzle… with one rule… that we will never see the full finished puzzle. Of our full selves."

Nuno. Is. God.

Crued, were you asking Nuno a question in a halting manner and got cut off? Like, "Nuno, is God a conceptualization of humanity's hopes?" or "Nuno, is God a fan of metal?"

I get it. Asking a person like Nuno a question would be pretty daunting, unless it involved doing so whilst turning away from the blinding white light of his "talent" (others have translated it as "ego" as well, but I can confirm that as I don't read Aramaic or Portuguese).

I am confused. Then again, I often am!

Nuno. Is. Person. So. Is. Crued.

Just joking around. Carry on . . .
