They tell us they’re gonna hold off on it because we missed all these deadlines. “We start recording the album and we don’t like the way it sounds and the record company’s not happy with it. “We signed that deal on air on a radio station, we’re bragging to everybody that our career is gonna take off,” says Bettencourt. What happened next was a textbook Music Industry 101: band gets signed, band records an album, label sits on album, album emerges a year later than it should have. Eventually it settled on Boston, and on Extreme in particular. Having exhausted all possibilities in Los Angeles and New York, the laser eye of the music industry cast its gaze further afield. “We were the bastard children of Queen, Aerosmith and Van Halen,” says Cherone. But they also had the sort of vaulting ambition that set them apart. In Nuno Bettencourt, they had a_ _ bona fide guitar-hero-in waiting. They had the hair (and the ill-advised headbands to match). That’s what made Boston.”Įxtreme were different from the rest of Boston’s rock fraternity, even the bands who were playing the same strain of rock as they were. And of course there’d be a lot of fights, but it was fun. “When they let us all out at one o’clock in the morning, we’d all end up in this one place, the Pizza Pad,” says Nuno Bettencourt. Big of hair, flashy of guitar, fierce of ambition, their territory was clubs with names like Narcissus, The Rat Skeller and The Channel. But in their hometown of Boston, a musical jungle ruled by the awkward, cerebral college rock of Pixies, Throwing Muses and the Lemonheads, they were an alternative to the alternative. Not in the tattooed squat-punk, didgeridoos-and-dreadlocks fashion.

Once upon a time, Extreme were an underground band. “But they were damn fun while they lasted.” “Those days are gone,” says a stoic Cherone.

But band and album alike represent the best of their era – a time when bands were given a chance to breathe, explore and grow. It’s not the most revolutionary idea, though in all honesty Extreme were never the most revolutionary band. Most of the Aqua Theater has been knocked down since Led Zeppelin played there in 1969, but the photograph appears to show Page standing on the remaining part of the structure which overlooks Green Lake.Now, 18 years after they split up and nine after they got back together, Extreme are doing the decent thing and touring Pornograffitti, their musical high water mark. Page was photographed on March 11 standing on what remains of The Green Lake Aqua Theater in Seattle, which was the site of a Led Zeppelin performance on May 11, 1969. Page also recently visited The Beat Museum in San Francisco where he posed with two books: Simon Warner’s “Text and Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll” and “Kerouac on Record.”īefore heading to California, Page visited the site of a Led Zeppelin show that took place in Seattle in 1969, according to a photograph published by a local resident. Simon Townshend said it made him a bit self-conscious to be playing right next to one of the masters of rock guitar.” Yes, Binky was guitar tech for the wizard of Zep, who was visiting and enjoying our show tonight – half the crew spent time on the road with either Led Zeppelin or Page & Plant tours. He MAY have been a touch nervous as his former boss was sitting watching the show from the sidelines right next to him – a young English guitarist named Jimmy Page. He’s the most-often-seen onstage crew member, with a lot of work to do! And did it well, too. ‘It’s nothing serious, just another tricky day!!’ Shortly after, Simon called into his microphone: ‘Binky’s on fire tonight!’ Binky being his (and Roger’s) guitar technician. “‘Another Tricky Day’ – tonight Roger sent it out to Trump’s son, on his impending divorce.
