Nuno Bettencourt is totally down with the idea that we can intellectualise rock music till the cows come home, but when they do come home and it's time to pick up the electric guitar and write something, it does us all some good to realise that rock operates on the same level as a nursery rhyme.
Speaking to MusicRadar head of the release of Extreme’s first studio album in 15 years, Six, which is out 9 June through earMusic, Bettencourt said that rock bands can have a certain aura or mystique around them, and that’s fine, but there’s a simplicity to writing rock music that goes way back to the fundamentals.
