Extreme (Official Thread)

[METALPRIEST]

Gonna pay a bit of a tribute here to...and give them an OFFICIAL playground




Official Website

Extreme (1989)
Pornograffitti (1990)
III Sides to Every Story (1992)
Waiting for the Punchline (1995)
Saudades de Rock (2008)
Six (2023)


Please post your favorite songs and memories or photos! Though they came out in 1989 they're well known for being a 90's band, so we can still begin our journey here since the bulk of their material and memories lies within' this decade.

Also for those that only know Extreme from hits like More Than Words I am going to start the thread off with a song that should WOW everybody and anybody from beginning to end!!

From Extreme III



Now for a bit 'O fun

Re: Extreme

This is a thread that I actually would've made believe or not as I like these guys a lot. They were one of my first favorite rock bands after Aerosmith! I mostly like Pornograffitti and III Sides to Every Story!

Honestly, you can't have an Extreme thread without this song!

More Than Words


But beyond that:

Rest In Peace


and

Stop The World


kicked ass!

Question?

III Sides to Every Story

was a concept album, right? What was it about? What was the story? Was it apocalyptic or just a bunch of metal hippies singing about world peace? I'm curious!

Re: Extreme

Thumper... if E3 is the only album of theirs you have, you OWE it to yourself to pick up Pornograffiti. There's LOT more to that album than just More Than Words and Hole Hearted.

Indeed he can. I was blown away by his guitar work on Pornograffiti when I first heard it and am still a HUGE fan of that album today.

Re: Extreme

I like Extreme too...lots of good tunes, great playing and great harmonies. I saw them last summer and they were really good. Nuno Bettancourt is the real deal - awesome guitar player. I gotta say though, Gary Cherone is pretty annoying - fair singer but pretty over the top as a front man.

Re: Extreme



Extreme II: Pornograffitti is the only cd I have and it's a great album although I remember in the 90s I was really bothered by More Than Words excessive playing everywhere . In these days I only could wish songs like this to be overplayed on tv or radio .

Another great song from the cd:

Extreme - Hole Hearted
