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’.
The acoustic ballad “More Than Words” entered the Hot 100 on March 23, 1991, at Number 81. It later became a huge smash, hitting Number 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in the United States. The subsequent single, “Hole Hearted,” another acoustic and sweetly-sung tune, was also successful, rising to Number 4 on the same popular music chart.
