Answer 2

The band broke up some years ago the guitar player Nuno Bentencorp went on to play with a few other bands and the lead singer did an album with VanHallen it didn't do very well and they tried to tour to promote it but the singer turned out to not be a good match up with the band so they went their seperate ways..i don't know what they are doing these days.sorry.i was a big fan..

Answer 3

Although guitarist and band mastermind Nuno Bettencourt's style was derived from Eddie Van Halen, his heart is with the progressive hard rock of Queen, as well as Beatlesque pop and touches of lounge jazz. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop -- their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. By the time of their second album, Pornograffitti, Bettencourt was already well-respected in the heavy metal world, but it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream -- it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four. Extreme's third album, Extreme III: Three Sides to Every Story, was an over-ambitious follow-up that sold well at first but didn't have the staying power of their previous album. Extreme's fourth album, 1995's Waiting for the Punchline, suffered from a similar lack of sales. The following year, Extreme announced they were breaking up, as Bettencourt went on to launch a solo career -- issuing the albums Schizophrenic in 1997, Mourning Widows in 1999, and Furnished Souls for Rent in 2000. Cherone went on to front Van Halen for a lone album, 1998's Van Halen III, which was slammed by both the critics and fans alike, resulting in poor sales and Cherone's eventual exit. 2000 saw the release of a 13-track Extreme best-of collection, An Accidental Collision of Atoms.

Answer 4

Extreme disbanded in 1996. Finally, in 1997, Gary Cherone joined with Van Halen for their album called Van Halen 3, issued in 1998, and he left Van Halen in 1999 and formed Tribe of Judah who released an album called Exit Elvis in 2002. He is currently working on solo material to follow up to his 2005 EP released under his own name.

Nuno Bettencourt went on to release a solo album titled Schizophonic in 1996. Then formed a group called Mourning Widows and released a self titled album in 1998 and then the follow up album Furnished Souls For Rent in 2000. His current group called The Dramagods (aka Population 1) have had two albums released, the first being a self titled album Population 1 in 2002 before a name change to Dramagods saw them create their follow up Love in 2005.

They split up in 1996. Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist, went solo. I think he only released one album, Schizophonic. Not sure about the rest of the band.
