Extreme is back!

[Alex Kenivel]

That chorus seems like a good Prechorus. I wanted to see something double time and catchy after it to seal the deal.

Yes the guitar rips. Mix? Idk I'm listening on my phone

The drums. No top end. Flat. Blanket over them.

Listen again and then listen to the III album.

I'll have to take your word for it. My sinus congestion leaves me in no position to do any critical listening, especially on my phone in bed lol

One sweet ballad in their lifetime is more than enough

Hey, I Remember You™!

Nuno great as usual. The song, other than Weiland style phrasing, just seemed weak compared to anything they've done previously.

To be fair, I can't think of many bands that have released anything 30 years into their career that holds up to their prime work. Only exceptions off the top of my head are Dinosaur Jr (their 2016 album was excellent) and Toad The Wet Sprocket (their 2021 album was also excellent).

Judas Priest's Firepower is phenomenal, and i'm not the biggest fan of the band.

Yeah that's fair. It wasn't a slam or anything like that, I guess I could've worded it differently. It's cool to see and hear them back doing their thing, I just didn't prefer this song.

You're right. That's the way it usually goes.

Surprisingly, I can listen to Rush's Clockwork Angels (2012) front to back, and the last album of theirs that I could do that with, was probably Power Windows (1985), and I am a HUGE Rush nut.

As funny as it may sound, I'm a huge Winger nut too, and rarely EVER listen to their 1st album, and if you listen to Winger IV (2006) and Karma (2009), those are MUCH better albums than their debut, although some may say that is a low bar

 

[JiveTurkey]

Can I say I'm proud of us in that a single thread has Winger, Dinosaur Jr. and Judas Priest in one discussion?

This is a really cool interview with Nuno from a couple of weeks ago. Great watch for anyone who has not seen
the whole thing. This part I synced it to really hit me. For all he has done Nuno still is just a kid wanting to have
fun playing guitar.

Nuno and I clearly buy the same kind of Cheetos and it looks like he ate a whole one, there!

 

[la szum]

Hmmmm.... someone is a fan.





Love Justin. He's a Dudes Dude.

 

[Lysander]

Everyone who knows their shit loves Nuno.

 

[DrewJD82]

I know more of Nuno’s solo/Mourning Widows stuff than I do Extreme, actually, but I loved that new song. Just when I thought the lead was going on a bit too long he started that ridiculous rhythmic section and I just laughed my ass off at how awesome it was, like “Ok, I’ll shuddup, please continue to rip, sir!”

 

[Fireproof]

Everyone who knows their s**t loves Nuno.

Agree with Brian! That solo is epic. Just too cool.

 

[Lysander]

And here's Rick Beato just gushing over Nuno's solo.

If you haven’t checked out the new releases from their upcoming album, be sure to do it!

I think both of them (#REBEL and BANSHEE) were better than their first single, RISE.

Nuno’s riffs are awesome, and solos amazing of course! He’s so impressive.

Touring with Living Colour this Summer. Pretty sure I need to go.
