Extreme

Extreme today consists of Gary Cherone as the lead vocal, Nuno Bettencourt as the lead guitar and backing vocal, Pat Badger as the bassist and backing vocal, and Kevin Figueredo as the drummer and percussion player. Non hardrock lover may know them from their song More Than Love which is remade and sung by some other singes such as Westlife and Frankie J. Extreme reformed for a short tour in 2004 playing in their hometown Boston at the WAAF anniversary as well as a few concerts in Japan and Azores. After a hiatus during 2005, the band returned in 2006 with the "classic" Pornograffitti line-up to do a small three-show reunion tour in New England.

On November 26, 2007, the band announced plans for a world tour during Summer 2008 with King's X as well as a release date and label for the new album, Saudades de Rock, produced by Bettencourt. Kevin Figueiredo, who played with Bettencourt in DramaGods and Satellite Party, took over drum duties. Original drummer Paul Geary is still involved with the band albeit in a management position. Singles from the album have been available on MySpace including "Star". The release dates of the CD were July 28, 2008 for France, August 4, 2008 for Europe, and August 12, 2008 for the USA.

Deep Purple

Deep Purple is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1981. The band was founded by bass guitarist Nikki Sixx (who was, at the time, in a band called London) and drummer Tommy Lee, who were later joined by guitarist Mick Mars and singer Vince Neil. Mötley Crüe has sold over 40 million album copies worldwide.

Mötley Crüe had announced that sometime in 2009 is the possible release date for the movie, The Dirt, based on the book written by Mötley Crüe and Neil Strauss. Rumors about the cast of characters in this movie include Christopher Walken as the famous rock and roll star Ozzy Osbourne and Val Kilmer as David Lee Roth. Motley Crue have recently announced their 2009 "Saints of Los Angeles" Tour. Supporting them will be Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, and The Last Vegas.
