Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho has checked in with his latest podcast update:

"He was the lead singer of Van Halen for three years, and he's still fronting Extreme and Hurtsmile - Gary Cherone is on Talk Is Jericho! He's got plenty of VH stories, including what his relationship was and is like with Eddie. He's also talking about Extreme's Pornograffitti album and how the success of 'More Than Words' changed his life. He's got great inside stories about singing with Queen, and meeting The Who's Roger Daltrey." 

Music fans around the globe can check out Hurtsmile's new video for "Good Bye" below.  The panoramic video with the decidedly acoustic and country-inspired sound is taken from the band's most recent studio album, Retrogrenade.  

Of the song, a departure from the rock-driven sound of the band, Hurtsmile frontman Gary Cherone commented, "We channeled our inner Eagles on this one; it's one of my favorites on the album.  My brother Mark wrote it and the lyrics are quite bittersweet."

“Hello I Must Be Going” is inspired by a Marx Brothers song sung by Groucho Marx from the 1930 classic film Animal Crackers. Of the new video, Gary Cherone commented, "I can't remember the last time I had this much fun making a video. We didn't take ourselves too seriously, it almost turned into a blooper reel... I think it captures the spirit of the song."

Hurtsmile is the collaboration of frontman/songwriter Gary Cherone (Extreme/Van Halen), his brother/guitarist Mark Cherone (Flesh/SuperZero), as well as bassist Joe Pessia (Tantric/DramaGods) and drummer Dana Spellman. Following up on the band's self-titled debut in 2011, the fan-funded Retrogrenade pays homage to almost every genre Gary Cherone has excelled at in the past.

Gary Cherone's career is rooted in classic rock, but his innate diversity and broad influences have created unexpected detours and surprises. Extreme is the formidable genesis of Cherone's career; its "funky metal" roots and ubiquitous #1 smash hit "More Than Words," introduced Cherone to the mainstream, but it was Extreme's captivating performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert that finally put him on the world stage. A few years later Cherone would be asked to join the legendary Van Halen and co-write their VH3 with the band and tour the world once again.
