Are you married or ever been married?" asks Nuno Bettencourt, the guitarist of the American quartet Extreme when we ask him the secret behind the longevity of his group, which has briefly split up and gone on hiatus during the course of its career spanning four decades. "It's like being married to three different people at the same time. It's not an easy task, but the glue is always the music. Performing live is probably the most important part that keeps a band wanting to do it."
