More than words was our Wedding song

[@livers2451]

I know it’s so incredible I found out about them at the beginning of the year and I fell in love im 14 years old and I love them so much Nuno is amazing and he’s my guitar hero honestly and Gary’s vocals are so wild they’re all so amazing and the new album is absolutely killer ❤️🤘🔥🔥

[@destiny-theseries]

Gary is the ONLY Van Halen singer able to sing every Van Halen song. He can sing Dave's, Sammy's and his own era. He was amazing live with them.

[@grandmasterplank]

Despite being the current/former lead singer of two of the greatest rock bands of all time, Gary is still a humble decent normal guy. Incredible that he and Nuno can stay so humble in the face of such well-deserved adulation. We should all soak up, breath in and savour their genius because it doesn't come around very often.

[@unclematt3134]

I just listened to and watched the videos two days ago and my mind is blown away. Gary is singing like Chris Cornell and his dancing is smooth. So bad ass! Nuno and his guitar. The songs are fun and make you feel cool just playing them. Wow! The slow songs are amazing. I can't stop listening to Six. A+

[@dhoch]

"overwhelmed by response" - hell YES. You guys have exploded. Gary you are special in this music.

[@worldswatchdog]

Gary sounds amazing! This record is so far amazing!

[@FenderTeleDeluxe]

[@dianag6839]

So happy to see your comment!Rock on!👏🏼

[@simontempler3239]

Best come back in history !

[@TheRadMan]

Absolute legend, I love Gary, such an amazing voice and looking so good too!

[@martingimenez339]

Met Gary in 92, the guy is adorable...I've been an Extreme fan since 89.

[@clareboylan6741]

Saw them in 91 in the Uk. Been a fan for 32 years 😊

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

It's amazing to see how far people of the same era progress in their own exclusive lives. I still remember a Boston Harbor booze cruise where I believe Gary may or may not have shaved his eyebrows off. I was pretty wired up on booze and the candy of the day, but I believe that was the case. He was one of the most entertaining acts I've ever seen as was the band The Dream. Paul Geary's girlfriend, Janine, at that time, turned me on to the band. We worked together, so she knew I played drums and loved good rock. We saw the band several times in the 80s including at the Channel in Boston. It's sobering to realize how quickly life goes by but refreshing knowing we've matured through the years to have made it this far. Gary is 61 and I am 60, so we're relatively close in age. He's a fantastic vocalist and an upstanding man. The new album is #1 on my list as it stands. Thank you, Gary, for bringing life, peace, happiness and joy to a world so much in need. I wish you all the success in the world. Funny hearing Gary mention clubs Narcissus and Celebrations, two clubs I had been to a few times myself.

[@Nico-gp7if]

Thanks for this interview of the Amazing Gary !

[@bravelittlesquirrel8362]

I love Gary and I am so looking forward to seeing Extreme in London!

[@nesaiamon8727]

Already got my ticket to see them this tour - can't wait!

[@elizabethjarvie6077]

Gary you're blown away by the response youre getting from us, we're blown away by the songs! 😍 Your vocals are melting me & resonate right to the heart. Maybe people hear these songs & just know it's genuine, it's real & we LOVE it!!! 🤷 I can only speak for myself, am sick of most stuff coming out that i hear, sorry to say. Between all the formulated & predictable music, vocals, lyrics & production of most current pop & rock, y'all are just standing out like the rockstars you are 🤩

[@Goatman-wl5nk]

Gary and Extreme are legends....great interview, very down to earth! 'Six' album is an absolute belter.....do yourself a favour and turn it up to 11! Can't wait for the Aussie tour 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@BelfastBoxingNBlues]

Love The Cherone, one of my all time favourite singers. And performers.

[@paulmayon8821]

In 25 yrs, this is the first Gary interview ive ever heard. I used to see extreme at the ,House of Blues ,in boston. So glad to hear gary talk on music and life. Thanks

[@darrenXparker]

Extreme is a living entity, breathing and evolving. “Six” is proof of that.

[@allkindsamusicchick]

He's so grounded. I like him.

[@robpaxson4455]

Other Side of the Rainbow is a melodic masterpiece

[@angels_in_velvet]

Gary is a Legend. One of the best voices in music and so handsome.

[@raisa_cherry33]

You're the only commentator to admit his handsomeness 😍😍😍😍

[@PandevAstinapur]

Not wanted to stay relevant with the modern pop music era but digest it. Very smart!!

[@michellegiardinobast7471]

My autographed copy is in the mail. I can't wait to listen. I love all 4 released and I am excited to see them in August ❤

[@scottjohnson8801]

That was great. Gary is a very down to earth person with a great voice. I was never a big fan but after hearing “Other side of the Rainbow “ I can’t listen to it enough. Thank you Gary

[@mariajoseagostinho9195]

Garry is a talented professional to be admired! Thank you!

[@raisa_cherry33]

Gary 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@billrath9314]

Great interview/questions! So glad to have Extreme “back” - new album is excellent

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Some great bands have had massive career resurgences. Extreme now joins that club. I was a fan when they were big in the late 80's/early 90's. I never dreamed they would come back 23 years into the new century and put out such quality material. Very happy for them.

[@dianec5784]

Thank you, for a great interview with Gary. He's such a great vocalist and front man. So excited for my CD arriving tomorrow and their tour.

[@neknarf1973]

So happy they're back

[@cansavran63]

Such a gentleman, down on earth

[@Strive2Survive]

Cool interview. As a reactor to some of the videos from "Six" and a life long fan of Extreme, I have to say Nuno did a fabulous job of putting this album together as well. Each instrument and all the vocals sound amazing, the best I've ever heard Extreme sound. He really captured the sound of the band and that is also another reason these videos and songs are being reacted to differently than some other albums in the past. Just my opinion.

[@guitarmanx1499]

I am a fan since since 1989 when I got their first album and learned their songs on guitar. After the next Pornograffiti album they got their break, but now they are getting a whole new fanbase again with "Six". Well deserved Gary, Extreme did it again!

[@JasonMarkham-bp6ct]

Awesome album from an awesome band. Luv ya, Gary. One of my fave vocalists.

[@schlagdog]

Getting ready to listen to this but listening to the new album. Nuno wasn’t lying when he said this is Gary’s record. Go look at who wrote all the songs. It’s all Gary and Nuno gets all the glory. Props to the the front man.

[@robertholston4708]

Interesting to hear. I was actually surprised by how much Nuno sings lead on the album. The eclecticism on the album kinda reminded me of Nuno's solo work. Do love the new album.

[@GianfrancoTorrisiguitar]

Great interview! Thanks 😊

[@sharonchamberland7090]

Great interview! Gary's one of the best underrated frontmen. Love just how damn down to earth and humble this guy is ...makes you relate better! He's aged more gracefully than most frontmen of his time. Loved Extreme as a kid in the early 90 s. Saw em live this summer...holy crap, they were incredible!!!

[@jeffjackson4150]

Great interview!

[@TheXaniah777]

Gary, spreading love from Aus, cracking album

[@aaronssportsshow5289]

I was blown away when I first heard they’re making new album I didn’t even know they were back together

[@kevinwilliams877]

I got the new record and it’s the best rock album in many years

[@aussie_philosopher8079]

Y'all going to see extreme and living colour tour? Gonna be epic. living colour, they got the bad ass rock funk thing going on as well the amazing new stuff from extreme...lots of fun.

[@MatttMan]

just found your interview, Jeff…I love your style, I suscribed, and I look forward to more nuggets! Great interview, and I truly think, Gary loved it too, great questions and balanced…kick ass Bud!!!

[@JeremyReedMusic13]

Cool interview. 🙂

[@pabloinguanzo3082]

We are wating for extreme in Argentina!!!

[@suzicastanheira]

👏👏👏👏

[@D1uft]

So nice to hear Gary without Nuno talking all over him 😅

[@raisa_cherry33]

I personally feel Gary aged gracefully than Anthony Kiedis from RHCP ❤ (they look alike) i like Anthony but now I am more into Gary Cherone.

[@wesrobert4716]

Gary needs to grow his hair long again 😀

[@sharonchamberland7090]

He rocks it long or short.

[@sarahchick-richardson8244]

I wasn't a fan of more than words. I've literally been listening to everything since they put their new record out.

[@brianmiller2075]

Eclecticism didn't work for Spirit

[@samchampion8580]

Great interview!
