Extreme

quote

Extreme was an American Hard rock band that achieved popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Some of Extreme's influences, Queen and Van Halen (the latter of which Gary Cherone would eventually join), are easily apparent from their music's multi-part vocal harmonies and electric guitar tone and virtuoso techniques. The band lends the listener a sound that blends the genre of glam metal with the shredding guitar work from thrash metal. Being asked about their style, Extreme categorized their music as 'Funky Metal'.

Extreme was formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1985. Vocalist Gary Cherone was in a band with drummer Paul Geary, whilst guitarist Nuno Bettencourt was in a band with bassist Pat Badger.

Decadence Dance- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ykRxlPd6U4k

I couldn't find a thread on these guys, so i made one . I gotta say these guys are amazing!! My favourite songs are, 'Decadence Dance', 'Warheads', 'Colour Me Blind' and 'Politicalamity,'.

Hm, I gave a listen to them on the iTunes Music Store and I have to admit they are pretty good. The singer sounds kind of like the singer in Thunder.
