02-06-2023
EXTREME have released “Other Side Of The Rainbow”, the fourth single from their new album “Six”, due June 9 via earMUSIC. “Other Side Of The Rainbow” shows off EXTREME‘s more intimate side in the vein of previous singles such as the RIAA gold-certified, Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “More Than Words”, “Hole Hearted” and “Seven Sundays”. “Other Side Of The Rainbow” is one of EXTREME‘s most soulful journeys, taking listeners into the depths of the human heart.

“Every once in a while, we’ll harness some kind of magic, and I think we did on this one,” says frontman Gary Cherone. “It’s a universal theme. It’s about restoring someone’s faith in love…we feel that it’s the perfect marriage of lyrics and melody.”
Citing Brian May, Eddie Van Halen and Neil Schon as particular influences, EXTREME co-founder and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt asks, “How do you play a blistering solo, making it feel like a rainbow?” He goes on to share, “It’s a groove we’ve never done acoustically. It’s got my favorite guitar solo it’s an up-tempo, moving song.”
Watch the previously released “Banshee”, “Rebel”, and “Rise” below.

EXTREME has canceled its appearance at the M3 Rock Festival earlier this month, after guitarist Nuno Bettencourt sustained a leg injury of some kind while taking part in a Rockers versus Average Joes basketball game aboard the Monsters Of Rock cruise on Tuesday, May 2.
