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 —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 — 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.

Rest In Peace Lyrics

Extreme

Let's talk of peace
Sounds so cliche
A novelty
catch phrase of the day
Middle, index
Sign of the time
Just as complex
As water to

(Someone said give peace a chance)
And, that's all that we're saying
(While we're sitting on the fence)
Pretending,
(Our hearts are in the right place
But your face shows a trace of)
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me
Now you can see

Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford to say these words lightly
Or else our world will truly rest in peace

(Ban the bomb)

Let's not pretend
to justify
Rather amend
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart
Peace can be found
That's where you start
Not all around

(Someone said give peace a chance)
And, that's all that we're saying
(While we're sitting on the fence)
Pretending,
(Our hearts are in the right place
But your face shows a trace of)
Hypocrisy
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see

Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford to say these words lightly
Or else our world will truly rest in peace

(SOLO)

Make love, not war
Sounds so absurd, ha, sounds so absurd
We can't afford to say these words lightly, ha, ha, ha, ha
Or else our world will truly rest in peace

Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can't afford to say these words lightly, yeah
Or else our world will truly rest in peace

Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me, oooh
We can't afford to say these words lightly
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Or else our world will truly rest in peace
