Fans of Queen who can’t stomach Freddie Mercury replacement Paul Rodgers owe it to themselves to check out “Star,” a song from Extreme’s upcoming Saudades Du Rock that has tight harmonies, searing riffs, and sneering vocals about “profit” and “fame” that sound more “Tie Your Mother Down” than “C-Lebrity.” Sure they try to rhyme “star” with “for,” but hearing them rip into the track, I want to take back every snide remark I’ve made about Gary Cherone. Though when the media player eventually hops to one of their earlier hits, I quickly change my mind. [MySpace via Metal Sucks]

Extreme get a bad rep but they are still better than Saigon Kick.
Are the Electric Boys back together yet?
@Chris N.: Alas, no. But two members did join Hanoi Rocks.
Kik Tracee anyone?
@musicquizking: “Love Is On The Way” > “More Than Words”
@musicquizking: I know I’m repeating myself, but I saw Saigon Kick open for Extreme sometime around ’92, and yes, you are correct sir.
