You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.

When I was singing Jamie's Cryin', people were going out of their mind because it was the first time they got to see Eddie, Michael and Alex play those songs. That was a thrill.

We weren't One Hit Wonders. We had a few hits.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one.

We didn't gel with Poison and the Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the best of the pop metal bands, but we never fit in with the hair metal stuff. We were never as hip as the Chili Peppers. We were in the middle.
