The band played songs from all the albums, from “Fill Up This Bad Machine” and “Electric Suzy” from their debut album (Diesel & Power) to songs from their last one (Backyard Babies), like “Abandon” and “Nomadic”, as well as their version of “Babylon” (cover from Faster Pussycat). It was a long and diversified set.

After this awesome gig, I waited around to ask singer Nicke Borg the question everyone wanted to ask. First time, he just looked and said “Ahn, I don’t know… I don’t know.” Second time, he said there were some plans for after the tour.

“There will be some things happening, but nothing I can really say now. Nothing with the Backyard Babies, anyway.”

In an interview, Nicke had said he wanted to “pick up on everything I left. Ideas, projects, song writing partners and stuff that has nothing to do with music. I don’t have a special plan. I’m finishing my home studio and just want to get off the road and pick up where I left.

For many years, my life was a band. Just now, last couple of years, I felt I needed to realize it was just a band. Now my life is my life and my band is what I do. It’s been great, but these days it’s not my whole entire life.”

This statement is a little in contradiction with what guitarist Dregen said a while ago: “if the hiatus lasted for a year, that would be an absolute maximum”.

“We don’t speak with each other about that.” – said Nicke. “Dregen is gonna work with music, he’s a musician.”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get anything from the guitarist, so the question remains: will they break up? Anyway, let’s hope not!

TMZ.com reports that Jon Bon Jovi and Gwen Stefani are following in Taylor Swift’s sports-bar-crushing footsteps — because the two pop stars are also suing a hometown drinking establishment for allegedly jacking their music.

According to a lawsuit filed in Minnesota last month, several of Gwen and Bon Jovi’s compositions were publicly performed at Sally’s Salloon & Eatery — and they claim the bar never got the licensing it needed. Now Bon Jovi, Gwen, and all the other people who own copyrights to their music want the bar to pay damages … and stop playing their songs.

This could be a crushing blow to the local watering hole — because as we all know, a bar without Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” is like a bird without wings.

Calls to Universal Music Group weren’t returned. A rep at Sally’s wasn’t even aware of the lawsuit.

This shit just makes me go crazy, the artist is going after the people that loves their music, have been like this before actually, but I just want to say something about it. Shouldn’t it be encouraged, that a someone can sing a song by another band, like a cover? Should I pay Kiss a thousand dollars or more, cuz me and my band played “Cmon and love me” infront of a crowd? Or am I just missing the plot of this story? Correct me if I am wrong guys! Feels stupid for me.

This hard-hitting article provides insights into Extreme’s insanity, as well as answers the more important question of “Who the hell cares?”. The analysis also includes the startling news that Extreme actually used to rock like Van Halen. The research shows that 99.9% of the world are unaware of the fact that they did rock and thinks all their songs sounded like “Hole Hearted.” This is proven to be confusing as shit.

I also want to point out that Jim Gillette will follow her to Sweden Rock Festival this year, and that is pretty amazing. I must enter the backstage area in one way or another, cuz this is a ones in a life time opportunity.
