From Billboard Magazine:
Boston-based rock outfit Extreme is reuniting for its first studio album in 13 years and world tour in 2008, Billboard has learned. The group, best known for the 1991 No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit 'More Than Words', disbanded in 1996 but reformed briefly in 2004 and 2006.
Details are pending on the album, which is being produced by guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, and the tour dates. Extreme now includes original members Bettencourt, frontman Gary Cherone and bassist Pat Badger, along with new drummer Kevin Figueiredo.
Of late, the band has reached a new audience thanks to the inclusion of its song 'Play With Me' in the video game Guitar Hero.
"We realized, not only are the people starved for rock'and'roll, so are we," Bettencourt says. "Let's eat."
Extreme will perform on Saturday (December 1st) at the Boston Music Awards.

scrapmetal - 12/5/2007 3:13:46 PM This is 10 years too late,like most of these johnny come lately renunions (including VH)
billkamal - 12/5/2007 11:50:06 AM Yea...I always got the manlove vibe off Cherone too...I too think he hangs left with a slight bulge rift...if you know what I mean (wink, wink). Anyway...riddle me this, you trivia fiends...the dude from ? and the Mysterians (who had the 60s hit "96 tears")...what's that LSD-tripping, free-love dick-dripping cosmic moonbeaner's real name? No fucking way any of you will ever get that one!
scrapmetal - 12/4/2007 8:21:24 PM Right on my man gblind,right on.
Glam_Chowder - 12/4/2007 11:04:38 AM The Nuno/Gary wife thing is total BS. The two remained friends after Extreme disbanded and even wrote music together. I don't think Cherone has ever even been married, and I seriously doubt Gary tagged Nuno's wife, or anyone's wife for that matter. I'm just sayin'...
Whiskeyinthejar - 12/4/2007 10:33:40 AM Amen brother A-dog. $$$$$$$ It makes you do thing that you don't want to do. Like gettin' the band back together.
Ammo_Dog - 12/4/2007 9:36:03 AM I saw that one Whiskey....something about one of them fuckin the others wife. Oh well, when the cash cow calls, everything is good again right?
metal_ruler - 12/4/2007 9:29:48 AM who could possibly care about this reunion ? totally irrelevant.
ocillotist - 12/4/2007 8:39:48 AM Whiskey: I wouldn't fault Nuno for rejecting the offer to reunite while he is dining out at some restaurant, fuck VH1, worthless channel, stick to the "I Love Nigger York" shit
Whiskeyinthejar - 12/4/2007 5:33:45 AM I remember a year or so ago when "Band Reunited" asked Bettencourt to reunite Extreme, he was such a dick about it. He didn't want anything to do with Extreme and was the only original band member not to sign on.
CygnusYYZ - 12/3/2007 10:07:47 PM Extreme should open for VH. That would be awkward.
goin-blind - 12/3/2007 9:54:03 PM scrap..steven tylers real name is steven tallrico and i thought his brother owned the dealerships?
scrapmetal - 12/3/2007 3:08:02 PM GB-since youre from the Sunapee region heres an easy one: whats Steve Tyler's real last name?HINT: he uses it on a string of car dealerships he owns in your state.
Glam_Chowder - 12/3/2007 11:58:35 AM When Steppenwolf broke up, John Kay struck up a deal with the rest of the band. They could have the name if he could have the song rights. CDs later made him a millionaire again, and I'm sure covers, movies, video games, TV shows, and TV commercials (most recently Chevy) have been sweet, as well. Oh, yeah, Kay's real name is Joachim Fritz Krauledat.
goin-blind - 12/3/2007 9:04:46 AM scrap..you mean to tell me that nikki sixx is NOT his real name? ( i know it's frank) or blackie lawless is not his real name? i'm shocked, i'm appauled, i'm flabbergasted this is outrageous, whats next someones gonna tell me rock bands lip synch? say it aint so ( sarcasm mode turned on and cranked)
