Shortly after that followed the band's break-up in 1996. It was a more rock-oriented and heavier record. The following album Waiting for the Punchline, released on February 7, 1995, with the singles Hip Today, Unconditionally, and Cynical, was not as good as III Sides to Every Story. Before Extreme played at the Donington's Monsters of Rock festival in the summer of 1994, the Geary left the drum-kit to continue his career in the field of music management and was replaced by Michael Mangini (ex-Annihilator). The lyrics of the new album touched upon some Christian issues, which was a result of Cherone's interest in evangelical activity and preaching. III Sides to Every Story overcame the predecessor in terms of music skills the musicians demonstrated, but the financial outcomes of this act left much to be desired. The recording process for the third album started in 1992 and was interrupted by the Extreme's performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in April 1992, which contributed its popularity among metal headbangers. Another Extreme's big song was the next single Hole Hearted, Number 4 on the same popular music chart. A great breakthrough was made by Extreme thank to ballad More Than Words which invaded numerous popular charts and even became hit Number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in the USA. However, none of the two had success in the United States which predetermined the album’s failure to remain in the charts. Both peaked high positions in the UK charts. It included two singles Decadence Dance and Get the Funk Out. This release revealed Bettencourt's outstanding guitar masterfulness and appeared a multi-genre composition of funk, pop and glam rock. Pornograffiti was recorded in 1990 under the guidance of Michael Wagner who had previously worked with Dokken and White Lion.
