EXTREME Singer: 'We're Back Together After 13 Years Because Of New Music'

July 30, 2008

Jed Gottlieb of BostonHerald.com recently conducted an interview with reunited Boston hard rockers EXTREME. A couple of excerpts from the chant follow.

On the band's upcoming tour:

Gary Cherone (vocals): "We're back together after 13 years because of new music, so we'll be playing a lot of it. But not too much new music. You gotta be smart about it. Meaning, we will be playing 'More Than Words'."

On EXTREME's new studio album, "Saudades de Rock":

Pat Badger (bass): "It's our most natural-sounding record. We wanted it to have that classic ZEPPELIN, BEATLES, old AEROSMITH feel."

Gary Cherone: "Not to compare ourselves to those bands. But we aspire, we aspire. Every band says this with every record, but I'm going to say it anyway. This is the best record we've ever done."

Nuno Bettencourt (guitar): "This is the best EXTREME album (new member/drummer) Kevin's [Figueiredo] ever done."
