Gary Cherone from Extreme: What’s He Doing Now?
Hi! Thanks for visiting Unreality Music! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates.
Continuing my obsessive Exteme fanboy thing, I looked up Gary Cherone on MySpace this evening.
After Gary left Extreme, he joined Van Halen for a short while, although I think he joined the band at a bad time in their career and wasn’t particularly well received as frontman.
He’s done some solo recording, and been involved with his brother in a The Who tribute band. (He’s not the only rocker to do the cover tribute band thing - Joe Elliott from Def Leppard had a side project called Cybernauts)
Recently, Gary seems to be involved with a band called hurtsmile, a group which also features his brother Markus. I listened to a few of their tunes on MySpace, and it’s great to hear Gary’s distinctive voice again. It seems to be more straight rock than his solo material, I’ll be interested to see how they develop. I think it’s seriously early days for the band, because they don’t have any group shots, logos or identity yet.

Heard a rumour the band EXTREME
is re-grouping and recording new
material for a brand new CD and tour.
This band could save rock and roll
from extinction. Godspeed EXTREME!
