Extreme (band): Extreme is an American rock band, headed by frontmen Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, that reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

More Than Words: "More Than Words" is a ballad written and originally performed by American rock band Extreme.  It is built around acoustic guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone (with harmony vocals from Bettencourt).  Released in 1990 on the album "Pornograffitti", the song is a detour from the funk metal style that permeates the band's records.  As such, it has often been described as "a blessing and a curse" due to its overwhelming success and recognition worldwide, but the band ultimately embraced it and plays it on every show.

When It's Love: "When It's Love" is a power ballad by the American rock band Van Halen.  It was released as a single from their album "OU812".  It was the most popular song from that album, hitting #1 on the "Billboard" Mainstream Rock charts and #5 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.  The song has been a live performance staple since it was released in 1988.  The song was also included in the set list for the band's ill-fated 1998 tour with Gary Cherone.  Eddie has stated that this particular guitar solo is a nod to Eric Clapton.
