The folks at Sweetwater have released the new video below, along with the following introduction:
From penning tracks like the Billboard-topping ballad “More Than Words,” or the infectious pop-rock hit “Hole Hearted” with Extreme to deploying his virtuosic composition skills on records alongside the likes of Janet Jackson, Robert Palmer, John Paul Jones, Toni Braxton, and countless greats, Nuno Bettencourt’s artistry has been an integral force in the past 25-plus years of sonic style. Sweetwater’s resident metal maestro, Nick Bowcott, caught up with Nuno to talk all things music: new tracks with Extreme, the importance of performing with emotion, how passion is the enemy of perfection, the legendary “Rise” solo, and more. Check it out!
"We have been absolutely blown away by all of the love and support during the first leg of the Thicker Than Blood Tour," begins a recent update from Extreme. "You all have shown up and brought it every night and we could not be more grateful. So with that, we are excited to announce the second US leg of the Thicker Than Blood Tour with special guests Living Colour."
Tickets are available now.
