Could we get explanatiosn for why the band broke up,wit hgeary left in 1994, and why there's such tension between cherone and bettencourt about cherone's exwife?ThuranX 04:06, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uhm, interesting. Where'd you get this from? As far as I'm aware Extreme's split was an amicable one to pursue other musical interests. There doesn't seem to be much tension between them either. They're reuinted a couple of times as the article says, and you can find vids of them in recent years having a ball at 'Guitar Wars; praising each other to the rooftops on YouTube.

I believe Geary left because he just didn't want to do the drumming thing any more, from what I remember he was into the band management thing more. NendoShisu 20:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV & dates[edit]

"The band was one of the most successful of those from the early 1990s," really? Then why does the article state in no uncertain terms in every other section that they were formed in the mid-80s? It even lists release dates of records which are pre-1990. ...and how has this success been judged? On album sales? If that's the case then I'd be very surprised if that makes them "one of the most successful" bands from any time period. 10 million albums sounds like a lot but Guns and Roses (just for example) sold more copies of just one of their albums, never mind their entire back catalogue... 212.137.27.116 (talk) 14:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was a lot of hyperbole in the intro and second section too. I've cut the most egregious bits, and added a couple of cite tags.79.77.137.192 (talk)

The band's influences "are readily apparent from their music's multi-part vocal harmonies and electric guitar tone and instrumental techniques" is a subjective statement, and unencyclopedic. And hyperbolic filler in my opinion. If you want uninformative stuff like that in, why not stick some cited quotes about their musical style in a section about it, rather than the intro?82.246.159.209 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

It is not subjective nor unencyclopaedic. It is descriptive, and to me makes sense, as it describes the band for all those who may not be familiar with them. Therefore, it should not be taken out. BobCubTAC (talk) 22:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1994 Monsters of Rock concert they left the stage after the crowd booed them and threw items at them - I know this because I was there - the problem was largely down to them following on from 2 thrash metal bands. The set started reasonable with a little discontent but when they started to play 'More than words' the bottles started flying onto the stage and boos increased from most of the crowd. The band threatened to leave if bottles kept being thrown... bottles kept on coming and the band cut their set short. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.23.28.231 (talk) 00:48, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

teasers? date?[edit]

"On February 17th, the band began to release a different teaser each day, to end on February 28. Many fans believe that on February 28, the band will announce the release of their new album."

I can just assume that this might refer to the squares they have on their homepage, which from counting might fit. But a) the addition doesn't mention a year (likely 2023?) and doesn't give any insight to where this information is coming from. It doesn't seem to fulfill the usual standards of wikipedia, does it? Don't get me wrong, I'm quite hyped about this band, but the speculational tone of the line doesn't match the neutral stand point of wikipedia articles.
