Michael Marotta of BostonHerald.com reports that on Saturday, December 1, original EXTREME members Nuno Bettencourt, Gary Cherone, Pat Badger and new sticksman Kevin Figueiredo will take the stage at the Orpheum in Boston to blow the roof off the Boston Music Awards — the first step to a 2008 world reunion tour and new album.

"We weren't gonna do it until we had a record out," Bettencourt told BostonHerald.com. "But (AEROSMITH drummer and the BMAs honorary chairman) Joey Kramer reached out to us. He wanted to make the BMAs special like they used to be, so we figured why not?"

The as-yet-untitled studio album with all-new material — the band's fifth — will drop sometime in spring 2008. A massive tour will follow, said Nuno.

Bettencourt described the new album as a "straight-up rock record" that expands on EXTREME's funk-metal sound.

The new album was the key to getting back together as a full-time band, he said. EXTREME did a handful of gigs this summer, including a gig at the Bank of America Pavilion in July, but Bettencourt wasn't interested in becoming a permanent part of a nostalgia act.

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

Original EXTREME drummer Paul Geary, who manages GODSMACK out in L.A., decided to opt out of the reunion, but there are no hard feelings.

"Paul's a manager now, he doesn't play much," Bettencourt said. "He knew straightaway he wasn't able to do it, (but) the blessing is definitely there."

PE a écrit :J'ai jamais compris pourquoi on a associé Extreme dans la vague "hair metal". Y'a certainement des éléments, et c'était l'époque, mais c'était quand même bien différent. Niveau technique à des années lumières des groupes de glam (certes c'est pas un critère de qualité, mais c'est ce qui explique pourquoi leur musique a un côté funk prononcé), influences diverses, notamment évidemment le côté funky et groovy génialement inséré dans leur style foncièrement personnel et différent de ce qui se faisait. C'est l'un des groupes les plus talentueux de cette époque, et les voir régulièrement mis dans le même panier que les Warrant et autres suiveurs de la fin de l'âge d'or du HARD US est vraiment passer à côté de ce groupe fantastique. Et je ne crois pas exagérer en ajoutant que Nuno Bettencourt est l'un des guitaristes les plus inventifs et doués de l'histoire du HARD.

J'attends maintenant des concerts en Europe, et une bonne suite à III sides si possible

We are now finishing up the recording of our new release... which, by the way, rocks. We had a great time jamming and creating. We ended up with about 24 tunes, which we dwindled down to the 14 (tunes) that will be on the record. And I'm sure it's no surprise to you, our fans, that they are a 'mishmash' of old-school rock and some tasty abstract ditties.

"As a band, we always manage to be misfits in the midst of whatever music is out there. But I guarantee it will be delicious. We are very, very excited to share it with you. Both on record and live when we come to your town... and WE WILL. Yes... we plan to tour for at least one year — well, probably two years — 'cause we've got a lot of catching up to do with you guys and gals. And we can't fucking wait... Shit! There I go fucking swearing again... What a prick... Anyways.

"It's also great to welcome Kevin 'Figg' Figuieredo to the family. I could say lots about Figg and what he brings to the intensity and sound of this band in 2008... but in the words of Joe Perry... I will 'let the music do the talking.'

"And when I speak about the EXTREME family, I also want to mention that Paul Geary [former EXTREME drummer and current GODSMACK manager] is still very much a part of the family. I'm very excited to tell you that he will be involved in the managerial side of the band, working closely with us and new addition to our business team, Robby Hoffman, to help reclaim our block of land in the music ghetto.

"Yes... Lock up your daughters and lock up your wife... Lock up your backdoor and run for your life. 'Cause once we move back in, we plan to be around for the rest of our days... God willing... however long that may be.

"Well... that's it for now. Whoever is making the trip to L.A. to see us... see ya there and say hello. We will have a drink at the Hilton bar afterwards. And for the rest of you, see ya soon..."

Je pense que la libération de Nuno Bettencourt la semaine dernière a beaucoup aidé à cette reformation.
