LOL they had other great songs, they were just labeled for those two because they were the "hits". Have you heard the 3 Sides album or Waiting for the Punchline?

Yes, probably later this year when they play with Twisted Sister in Milano! Saw Extreme in '94 and they were good... can't believe how long ago that is already!

Damn, I thought you would have went deeper on them.

You could do that for almost every brilliant artist. People do it all the time with Prince and Stevie (kiss and Purple rain) (I just called and part time lover). I don't own the first 2 cause I hated them. But 3 sides is phenom. Nuno alone is worth the price of admission.

3 Sides IMO is one of the best records of the 90's. Extreme were one of the groups that were never understood and just happend to have a ballad hit which didnt represent what they were, kind of like BERLIN.

Again LD, we see eye to eye. It also just is engineered perfectly. I love the mix. Nuno also has such a groove in his rhythm playing that many guitar hero's lack.

Also Gary nevers gets the credit he deserves. He was awesome singing live for VH, like a kid in a candy store. Remember he was the one who opened the old "DLR " catalog back up. Great range.

When I saw them live Mike Mangini was on drums. I dare you to find a better drum, guitar,and vocal combo.
