Extreme have released a music video for the ‘Six’ track ‘Hurricane.
Nuno Bettencourt tells Noise11.com, “that song meant a lot because it was written on behalf of a friend of mine. I was on tour with Extreme in Asia. We were about to play Taiwan for the first time in 30 something years and I had gotten a call. I was up watching, I don’t know, if it was Champions League or the World Cup Portugal was playing and I was up by myself at three in the morning and I got this call that my one of my best friends passed away in a motorcycle accident and I just flew home. I never did the show. That song was written about what everybody can relate to losing somebody and losing somebody whether it’s your mom or whether it’s a brother or your best friend. You know the storm before the calm as we called it on the song”.
Nuno says Crosby, Stills & Nash were a big influence for the song. “‘Hurricane’ sounds like the best thing Crosby, Still & Nash never wrote. It definitely came from that. Those influences of Lennon and McCartney, Everly Brothers, but definitely, the first thing we mentioned was Crosby Stills and Nash”.
