EXTREME On 'FOX 25 Morning News'; Interview, Performance Footage Available - July 10, 2009

Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and singer Gary Cherone of reunited Boston hard rockers EXTREME took part in an interview and short acoustic performance on "FOX 25 Morning News" on Thursday, July 9. Watch footage of their appearance below.

"Saudades de Rock", the new album from EXTREME, sold 6,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 78 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD entered the U.K. chart at position No. 80.

The band's first studio album in thirteen years, "Saudades de Rock" (pronounced "sow-dodge") was released in the U.S. on August 12, 2008 on Open E Records and distributed by Fontana. The European version of the CD, which came out on August 1, includes a bonus track, the "Americocaine" demo from 1985, the very first studio recording of EXTREME.

The iconic rock foursome — vocalist Gary Cherone, guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, bassist Pat Badger and new drummer Kevin Figueiredo — recorded their fifth studio offering at NRG Studios in Los Angeles with Bettencourt at the helm as producer and mixer. "Saudades de Rock" boasts 13 tracks, including the infectious roar of "Star", the groove-laden, swagger of "King Of The Ladies", a raw funk rock anthem called "Learn To Love", and the expressive ballad "Ghost".

	This is a great tune, but sadly the world is not set up for artists to sell millions of records anymore, sad thing really, I like Extreme, I wish them well.

	These guys are some amazing musicians and performers for sure. The HOB Hollywood last summer was insane! If any song will put them back on the charts, it's this one, but without major backing (which they don't have), they're not going anywhere. I think they're pretty content with their place right now anyway. Nuno really changed his attitude toward Extreme and his career outlook over the past years. I can't wait for some new material from these guys, especially since 'Saudades' was really just thrown together without much focus. Their themed albums were their best. '3 Sides' is a masterpiece.

	I miss music like the 'waiting for punchline' album. saudades de rock is quite upbeat and happy, which doesn't sit well with me. It has some good tunes on it, although it is great to finally hear rock music played by competent musicians again.

	so i am listening to DOWN Bury Me In Smoke... i pause it and play this video.... it took a second to let the brain adjust. Shortly there after, I enjoyed this. It's nice to see these guys writing again. I thought the harmony was pretty good as well.

	my god what a killer album. just listened to it. totally blew my mind. would expect nothing less from nuno tho

	WTF? I saw these guys LAST SUMMER on the tour for this album...this is OLD NEWS...they are still pushing it? Get in and do a new one!

	COMMENT \| Still prefer the old extreme... posted by : Devy 7/13/2009 4:45:14 AM

	The last 2 albums have a raw and imo. shouty style to them which is just annoying after a while which is a real shame because 3 Sides was superb. Nuno is still one the greats, no doubt about that. Extreme, if you are listening: Have your people sort your marketing out, because it's as bad as it ever was. I'm amazed you sold as much of the new album as you did being that I only ever really heard about it in a very small handful of places. Give yourselevs the chance you deserve...
