Nuno is a fantastic guitarist and Gary was always a great frontman. You're right Bob they should kick up their hard rock vibe...they could keep the funkiness though. It'd be nice to finally see one of the old bands I grew up with actually get a hit with a comeback album. I doubt it'll happen but I have hope everytime one of the '80s bands gets back together.

There is no shortage of rock n roll whatsoever. the fact that we aren't inundated with slick, bloated, overly technical rock bands anymore is actually good for rock n roll, not bad. And the idea that "passion" drives Extreme is absurd. Their brand of funk-tinged hard rock was always short on the funk, the hard and the rock. Sure they were great players, but their music was cold and empty. Bettencourt’s comments are crazy!
