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.

Stop The World Lyrics

Extreme

All the world's a masquerade
made up of fools and philosophers
Were it to rain on our charade
All washes away, except for our true colors

If any people bothered looking for truth, please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)
instead we choose to follow footsteps of fools,please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)

If nothing's new under the sun for me and you
Won't somebody please...

Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off

If we forget yesterday
We're bound to repeat it tomorrow
It's not too late to start today
Better off safe than sorry

Do unto those as you would do to yourselves,please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)
We need more feet to walk in one another's shoes,please
(Stop the world from spinning 'round)

There's nothing new under the sun for me and you,
Won't somebody please...

Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
Where there is love
Where there is love

(SOLO)

Stop!!...the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off

You gotta stop...
You gotta stop it
You gotta stop...

Stop the world
Stop the world
I wanna get off
Stop the world
Stop the world
Where there is love

Aaah...Stop the world
Stop the world...ooooh

All the world's a masquerade
Made up of fools
