124.0. "Flesh" by USOPS::OCONNELL () Sun Jan 26 1992 19:27

    Sorry about that first note.  I'm kind of knew at this.  Anyway,  I was
    just reading through and figured I would see if anyone out there has
    seen/heard FLESH.  They are a local band including Paul Bettencourt
    (Lead vocals), Markus Cherone (Lead Guitar), Steven Powell (Bass) and
    Mike Katz (Drums).  They are a very talented band.  They haven't been
    together for too long but they sound like they were all born
    together...  So has anyone heard of them????

124.1Yup...I've seen em!NEMAIL::MERCIERI will Choose FreewillMon Jan 27 1992 15:188
    I have seen these guys and they are good. Its pretty funny how Cherone
    and Bettencourt changes roles vs the Extreme Lineup. I was at the show
    at Derringers when one of the guys got jumped outside. That was not
    cool. Anyways, the guitar player from my band (Contagious) is pretty
    good friends with those guys.

    I know Steve well. He came back from L.A. for the holidays. They're
    a good band, but in my opinion, they're just another band trying
    to cop Extreme's sound (before they got signed and sanitized for
    the unwashed masses). They do it well, and I hope Steve the best,
    but not my cup of tea.

    I have to agree with /prc here...Flesh ain't Fresh, that's for sure.
    I've seen them, and heard their hot studio demos, and the sounds like a 
    lame excuse for Extreme (who I don't love too much, either, so that is
    not saying much!).

    I figured that this is all I would hear...  It's kind of humorous to
    hear people call FLESH copycats,  I listen to them and don't hear any
    EXTREME at all.  Of course there are going to be some similarities
    since the songwriters from both bands grew up together and shared a lot
    of the same feelings.  Oh Well,  We'll see when the album is
    released...
