How goes the Extreme remakeover?

A couple of years back, we hid our face from the news that Extreme were getting back together.

We've heard very little since, but apparently they're still huffing about, with a new record being lined up. Apparently it's going to be different, says Nuno Bettencourt:

Even though we wanted to do something for years, we had to have something new to offer," he told BostonHerald.com. "In the last six months we started writing some great songs. If they weren't, we wouldn't be doing this."

Well, great songs would mark a major departure from the ones they wrote during their first wind.

NUNO RENEWED

There was never any harsher warning to avoid an advert for penfriends than the advertiser's inclusion of enthusiasm for Extreme. Now, the time to short circuit usual standards of not judging by covers is with us again, as lank-haired horse faced softrocker Nuno Bettencourt has reassmbled the cough classic Extreme line-up for a series of live dates.

We can't hide our joy.
