Music Review: Extreme is Back With a Guitar Lovers Feast
I was flipping through eMusic the other day when I noticed a new release by an old favorite of mine, Extreme. I was a little apprehensive at first but figured what the hell, I’ll download it. Boy am I glad I did. Here is a quick review.
The title of the release is “Saudades De Rock“. In the opening line on the track “Slide” Gary Cherone sings “Find a groove and then drop the hammer.” That pretty much sums up most of the tunes on the release.
One of the reason i was a fan of Extemes music was because I am a sucker for good guitar. I always loved Nuno’s guitar work and this release did not do anything to change that. He is one of a seemingly dieing breed of guitarists who can dance over the fretboard, navigating a path of tasty grooves throughout every song.
The whole CD is about what you would expect from Extreme if you were a fan of some of the their popular stuff like “Pornograffitti” and/or “Three Sides to Every Story” but they do venture into new territory and pull it off well.
Bottom line, if you love active guitar, meaty grooves and solid songwriting, this is a no-brainer.

I’m going to have to check that out. Love me some Extreme. I was looking around eMusic the other day and was surprised at the things on there. I thought it would be a bunch of stuff I had not heard of.
Thanks Lee,
Yeah there is a ton of stuff on eMusic if you look around. In fact, I am putting together post that will list with some fairly well known bands on there to help get people started.
