A finales de la década de 1980, cuando el glam metal estaba en su apogeo y el rock estaba empezando a diversificarse en direcciones audaces, surgió una banda que traería frescura y virtuosismo al género: Extreme.
Formada en Malden, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos, en 1985, la banda originalmente consistía en Gary Cherone (vocalista), Nuno Bettencourt (guitarra principal), Paul Geary (batería) y Patrick Badger (bajo). Cada uno de ellos llevaba a Extreme una riqueza de habilidades y pasión que rápidamente los colocó en el radar de la industria musical.
En 1989, Extreme lanzó su álbum homónimo debut. Aunque el álbum no conquistó las listas de inmediato, sentó las bases de lo que vendría después. Las canciones, con sus complicados riffs de guitarra y voces poderosas, mostraron el inmenso talento de la banda y captaron la atención de los amantes del rock.
Pero fue su segundo álbum, "Extreme II: Pornograffitti" (1990), el que verdaderamente catapultó a la banda al estrellato. Destacado por su combinación de técnica instrumental, letras inteligentes y melodías pegajosas, el disco produjo varios éxitos, incluido "More Than Words". Esta balada acústica no solo dominó las listas de éxitos, sino que también mostró la capacidad de la banda para crear algo más que canciones de rock tradicionales.
"More Than Words" no fue la única joya de "Pornograffitti". Canciones como "Get the Funk Out" y "Hole Hearted" también se

"HERE'S TO THE LOSERS" lyrics Extreme Lyrics "HERE'S TO THE LOSERS"
Hey, you gave it your best shot
You gave all you got
It wasn't quite enough
At least, you got into the ring
You took another swing
Gave it everything
You, you cannot win them all
We all have dropped the ball at one time
Game on the line
High, hold your head up high
I'll tell you why
A winner knows what it's like to lose
A loser, what it's takes to win
Here's to the losers
And here's to the ones who fallen
Get up, you're not the only
Get up, you're one of the many
Chin up, there are no excuses
Drink up, here's to the losers
Here's to the losers
Here's to the losers
We, we've all been there before
Won battles lost the war
Left it all out on the floor
No, no need to be ashamed
There's no excuse or blame
That's how you play the game
I, I tasted victory
The thrill and agony of defeat
It's all bittersweet
High, hold your head up high
I'll tell you why
A winner knows what it's like to lose
A loser what it's takes to win...
Here's to the losers
And here's to the ones who fallen
Get up, you're not the only
Get up, you're one of the many
Chin up, there are no excuses
Drink up, here's to the losers
Here's to the losers
Here's to the losers
Here's to the losers...
A winner knows what it's like to lose
A loser what it's takes to win...
Here's to the losers
And here's to the ones who fallen
Get up, 'cause you're not the only
Get up, you're one of the many
Chin up, there are no excuses
Drink up, here's to the losers
Here's to the losers
And here's to the ones who fallen
Get up, 'cause you're not the only
Get up, you're one of the many
Chin up, there are no excuses
Drink up, here's to the losers
