Extreme was a "funk metal" band formed in Boston in 1985-86 consisting of guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist Pat Badger and drummer Paul Geary (later replaced by drum god Mike Mangini). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts 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 â€”their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream â€” it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four. They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but recieved diminished attention from the mainstream following the grungeexplosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind"in 1991.

Naked Lyrics

Extreme

So you want me to take it off
Just to see what's underneath my cloth
I'll show you I'm every inch a man
Measure all that you think you can

Because I'm more than what meets the eye
Flesh and blood is often a white lie
By the cover, you misjudge the book
I said, open your mind and take
Open your mind and take another look

Naked, and I'm unashamed
Naked, with no one to blame
Naked, yeah you want the truth
Naked, here's my birthday suit

Naked
Yeah, I'm naked
I'm naked, naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked, naked

I pretend to be not anyone
except me and my imperfections
there ain't nothing I'd expect of you
that you wouldn't expect of me
Yeah, you wouldn't expect from me too

Naked, and I'm unashamed
Naked, with no one to blame
Naked, yeah you want the truth
Naked, here's my birthday suit

Naked
Yeah, I'm naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked, naked

Will you excuse me for my ignorance
'Cause I can see only one difference
Those of you who seek to find
While all the others choose to walk and talk blind

(SOLO)

Naked
Yeah, I'm naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked, naked
