Boston rockers Extreme might star one of the all-time great shredders in the shape of whammy-whacking, dive-bombing, fleet-fingered axeman Nuno Bettencourt, so it's somewhat ironic that the band's biggest song is the much-loved acoustic ballad, More Than Words, which features none of the above.
It's a song with more than half a billion Spotify plays in the bank, a mere 1500% increase over the band's second most-played song, which just happens to be a remix of... yes, you guessed it, More Than Words. You could be forgiven for thinking they'd only written one song, but – as excellent new Extreme album Six happily proves – they're a band absolutely dripping with bangers.
