NON-HAIR METALLERS EXTREME CELEBRATE METALSUCKS HAIR METAL WEEK WITH NEW VIDEO

In all fairness, we didn’t warn Extreme that we were going to name them #5 on our list of The Top Ten Bands Most Often Miscategorized as Hair Metal.

ANYWAY, back in April, Extreme released a video for the song “King of the Ladies,” and I really dug the song, and I was all, “Hey, how come I never listened to Saudades de Rock? We ran a positive review of the album, and I was really excited when Extreme reunited!”

Well, guess what? Here we are, three months later, and Extreme have debuted another video via Noisecreep, “Run.” And, once again, I really dig the song (especially Nuno’s drunk-sounding, warbly solo), and once again, I still haven’t listened to the fucking record. What is wrong with me?

So I’m gonna listen to Saudades de Rock. I’m totally serious this time. I’m gonna listen to it right now.

Vince, if you’re reading this and you have a copy in your wing, please dispatch it to me via MetalSucks Mansion Monkey. Thanks, dude.

This video is actually to promote a new Extreme live DVD/CD set, Take Us Alive, which is out now. I guess after I finally listen to Saudades de Rock, I should check that out, too.
