==== Live album, ''Cool as Ice'', and tours ==== Ice's second major release was the live album ''[[Extremely Live]]'', released in March 1991. The album was a live recording during Vanilla Ice's performance in Miami during his ''[[To the Extreme World Tour|To The Extreme World Tour]]''. Premiering new songs like "[[Rollin' in My 5.0]]", "Road To My Riches" and "Satisfaction", the album peaked at #30 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]],<ref name="Billboard2">{{cite web|url=http://www.allrovi.com/music/album/extremely-live-mw0000674867|title=Charts and awards for ''Extremely Live''|access-date=March 7, 2009|publisher=[[Allrovi]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005123824/http://www.allrovi.com/music/album/extremely-live-mw0000674867|archive-date=October 5, 2013}}</ref> but it received mainly negative reviews. ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' reviewer [[David Browne (journalist)|David Browne]] called it "one of the most ridiculous albums ever released", comparing it to ''The Best of [[Marcel Marceau]]'', an album which consisted of two sides of silence opened by brief applause. According to Browne, ''Extremely Live'' "affords you the chance to hear inane stage patter [...] and unaccompanied drumming, during which, one assumes, Ice and his posse are onstage dancing."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/1991/07/26/extremely-live/|title=Review of ''Extremely Live''|access-date=March 7, 2009|last=Browne|first=David|date=July 26, 1991|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|archive-date=April 15, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415130938/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,314929,00.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Monte Lipman later stated that SBK only released the live disc to make more money from Ice's fame.

In late 1991, Ice appeared in the [[Circus of the Stars|Circus of the Stars and Sideshow]], driving his motorcycle through a wall of fire. While his fame in the United States had severely dropped, Ice continued touring in 1992, playing in South America, Europe, Australia and Asia, and premiering new songs like "Get Loose", "The Wrath", "Now & Forever", "Where the Dogs At? (All Night Long)", "Minutes of Power" and "Iceman Party". After a performance in [[Acapulco]], the city honored Ice with a medal that represented "all the respect and admiration to [Ice's] music and to [him] as an artist from the Mexican people".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFaDJFJpHK4| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211102/GFaDJFJpHK4| archive-date=November 2, 2021 | url-status=live|title=vanilla ice concierto acapulco 92| date=September 12, 2011|publisher=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Ice also served as a spokesperson for [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] and [[Coca-Cola]] throughout 1991 and 1992.<ref>{{cite web|title=Other works for Vanilla Ice|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0406678/otherworks|work=Internet Movie Data base|publisher=IMDb.com, Inc.|access-date=July 9, 2012|archive-date=January 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160104220103/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0406678/otherworks|url-status=live}}</ref>
