This review is from: Extremely Live (Audio CD)

This is an excellent early 90's album.The live version of Ice Ice Baby rocks and makes this album worth owning.There are also some pretty good new songs not on (To the Extreme).A really cool live album for Ice fans.Also Ice's version of Satisfaction is not to be missed.All of Ice's albums old and new are cool.The Ice man is cool.Deal with it.

Obviously, nobody is going to say Vanilla Ice was a particularly awesome rapper or performer, but this album is a fun listen. If, like me, you enjoy popping in To The Extreme once in a blue moon and enjoy live music or alternate versions, this is worth a few bucks. It's well done enough to be enjoyable. It has all of his good song and most of the rest of what he had done up to that point as well.

For everyone who was an east coast, white, pre-teen boy at the end of the 80's wishing he was instead a pretend motorcross riding tough guy cruising in a convertable through Miami with a god awful haircut and a sparkly jacket while ugly chicks with too much makeup, huge hair and ripped neon pink shirts wave to you, this is the album for you. Or... if you were an ugly white chick with too much makeup, huge hair and a ripped neon shirt in Miami during the late 80's, wishing a guy with a screwed up flat top and an ugly coat would pick you up and take you for a ride back to his parents' basement in his used Mustang convertible with 6 subwoofers in the trunk which make the license plate rattle like hell, this is the album for you too.

If you meet this basic criteria, buy this cd, go in the basement, close the shades, pop it in the cd player, break out the hairbrush/microphone and crank it up for a trip down memory lane. After that, rip it into iTunes so you can skip over it every time it comes on while shuffling and put the disc on the rack with the other 400 cd's you never even look at anymore but can't bear to part with because someday you'll.... oh face it... you'll never listen to them again. You only keep them because you paid $13 each and now they're worthless. You can't bear to throw them out but you can't get anything for them either. You'll feel liberated when you finally get someone to buy 3 for $2 at the community yard sale 2 summers from now. Then you'll have only 397 more that you can't get rid of. It's hard to believe nobody wants to buy that Boyz II Men CD for $1. Motownphilly is a classic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good live album, but it was released too quick, June 18, 2005

This review is from: Extremely Live (Audio CD)

I still like this live album, though the sound quality can be rough in some spots. I still love Rollin' in My 5.0, Satisfaction and the ultra funky numbers of I Like It and Play that Funky Music. Ice Ice Baby sounds strong here, but I prefer the album version. I think that this album came out too quick in the helm of Vanilla Ice's To The Extreme multi platinum success. It sold well, but it just came and went that summer in 1991. His label should have focused on more singles from Extreme, but they didn't. They wanted to put it out while he was so red hot and it failed. They even wanted him to do a movie and it bombed at the box office, turning some people off. The announcer and the girls screaming on the recording come off as so funny sometimes and a little loud. So you can see why Ice doesn't talk about this live album as much. Sometimes, you don't want to overhype a new artist starting out so big and that's why people have calmed down a bit these days with promoting artists. Let's hope they don't try to rush a live album to the public like that. Vanilla Ice would have taken another direction with his career other than this uneven live album.
