I just heard today that "Extreme" are touring down here later in the year.

Imagine experiencing THAT solo live.

Very tempting indeed.

Again? 

Haha, I guess you are referring to the 2008 record? 15 long years have passed so I reckon that qualifies as a comeback now. 😀

Yeah. How many comebacks can a band have? 

I would love to hear from the band what happened in the last fifteen years. They've been talking about a follow-up to Saudades for a long time. So what took so long?

[tobi is an animal]

this Saudades album has really grown on me, I must say.

 

 

 

[AlphaMale]

Extremely poor band imo

[auslander]

Glad it's in your opinion, cause it's an opinion I don't share.

[Darkstone]

We all know how Legendary THAT solo is, but can he do it live?

FUCK YEAH!!!

This is one of the best clips I've ever seen TBH.

BTW, I know It's been mentioned before, but these Monsters of Rock cruises look amazing. 

 

 

[auslander]

I'd even go on a cruise if it was to see stuff like this. Awesome.

They are amazing. I gotta get back on that boat. Haven't been in ten years. 

Holy fuck! Ten years?

The newest track has all the hallmarks of a hit. Great vocals!

I like that song....good tune and nice contrast to the other singles released so far.  Reminds me a bit of the early 80's and sounds like something bands like Kansas or .38 Special might've done.

I've never been much into Extreme but planning to check out the new album as the new songs all sound pretty good to me.

New track “Other Side of the Rainbow “ is excellent!  

[CureTheSane]

Other Side Of The Rainbow is amazing!
All the hallmarks of a big radio hit.
Also reinforces the 'return of Nuno'
 

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Wow. This album is so much better than I expected. As an Extreme fanboy, you might anticipate I have a bias towards them--and perhaps I do--but I'm usually quite critical of my favourite bands. Nuno made a comment about bringing back guitar playing in Rock music, and holy shit, this record is chock full of great riffs and solos. I know everyone will be raving about The Defiants' album--and for good reason, it fuckin' rocks!--but the diversity of styles on this one is much more my jam. This was a very nice surprise.

A few times through and I don't think this is gonna measure up to III Sides; but it's still a solid album nonetheless, the only song I'm struggling with at the moment is Hurricane. Still prefer Saudades at this point, will see how much this new one grows on me.

[auslander]

Gotta say I'm loving this album. Rightly so, Nuno's guitar is the star, but I gotta say Gary's voice has lost none of its range or expressiveness. He is underrated as a frontman. Trademark harmonies are there too. Album of the year at the moment.

Who would have thought a couple of years ago that we'd all be "Extreme" fanboys.

There have been many bands that have tried and failed to stay the course over the years, but these guys have actually surpassed their former glories IMO.

Pure talent never gets old and it's great to see Nuno and Gary getting the recognition they deserve. 

They're playing at the "Forum" in Melbourne in October BTW. You must be tempted mate.

Yeah...have not been much of a fan since a fleeting glance at III sides all them years ago...this album is great though,just really really digging it 

[whiplash1972]

Heard "Six"  a couple times through now, and it is quite excellent, with only one or two songs not instantly grabbing me. Repeated listens will most likely push this one towards the top of year end lists.

Extreme - The Mask 

 

[whiplash1972]

Hurricane

Do they need to keep releasing videos? Pretty sure anyone that needs to know about this album already knows. Anyway, I'm glad the boys are back at it and having fun--and especially grateful I got to see them on this tour--but I won't be watching these. 

[whiplash1972]

Well, it’s been over a month, so you know what that means… 😜

New video for “Thicker Than Blood”

Videos will come up in my YouTube feed and I'll watch them.

I like them, they give a different vibe to the song.

I mean I like the new falling in reverse releases, and I sure look forward to the videos for them.
