  • Lol paul has a like a guitar crush on nuno

  • the real good stuff is death

    Look at this guy he's amazing i'd give my foot to have guitar classes with him

    and people ignore him

  • Wtf why is Gilbert such a nerd

  • @AssassinSteven hes a total god is what he is!

  • Its funny how nobody mentions the bass player lol.Anyone ever heard of Led Zeppelin?

  • Great song

  • hahahaha, gtrslinger is just making himself look like a douche

  • gtrslinger, You can't possibly be a guitarist if you write that Nuno is anything short of extremely talented. Nobody cares about the popularity contest that lives in your little head. Hendrix was amazing... Nuno is nothing short of genius, too. Your musical taste has no bearing on Bettencourt's abilities... all your negetive comments make you appear adolecent, short sighted, and starved for attention. Hendrix = Legand; Bettencourt = innovative genius!

  • Nuno is not in competition with Hendrix - but just for the record Hendrix was noone and nowhere until Chaz Chandler found him in the Village. Noone knew him at Monterey Pop, until he decided to one-up Pete Townsend with Lighter Fluid. He only had 6 hit singles none of them got higher than #20 - Extreme had 10 Singles, two went to #1 another to #2. Sometimes it's not about the player, it's about the industry at the time.

  • @gtrslinger you suck = you're a fag lmao .... you lose you lose you lose you lose lmfao .... you know nothing about musical talent my friend ... so do us all a favor and keep you stupid comments to yourself because personally i dont give a fuck what you think!!! faggot!! lmfao lmfao lmfao ... ur dumb!

  • @gtrslinger Shut up idiot

  • @gtrslinger are you retarded? you don't know anything about guitar playing, shut up idiot.

  • @bottazzo77

    On the contrary noob. I know more about guitar and music than you will EVER WILL. Hendrix is a LEGEND. deal with it bitch. NUNO is a washed up has been who playing with Rhianna because he needs the $50k a year pay check! THAT'S HOW WASHED UP HE IS. He's not even good anymore. lol

  • @gtrslinger u're such a loser! go kill urself so that u are useful in this planet.

  • @Vyan1 Nuno is a washed up asshat. HE PLAYS FOR RHIANNA BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE MONEY! He's not even making $80k a year. And honestly, he's only known among shred wanna be's. NO one cares about him. They like More than Words and that's it. THE MAJORITY OF THERE ALBUMS BLOW DICK So fuck you. haha

  • @gtrslinger who doesn't need money? all artists are working on every possible way just to earn. Be realistic!

  • @gtrslinger why do you put so much energy into hating on nuno, seriously, if you put half of that energy into composing/practicing guitar you might actually be somewhere in life, somewhere where you don't to get your kicks out of bashing people more wealthy and successful than you. i can just tell you get the most massive hard on from bashing nuno, which quite frankly, is very weird. you come off as someone with a massive inferiority complex.

  • nuno, jpj, and gilbert together...too much talent! wow!

    thanks for sharing!

  • you suck idiot... nuno is one of the best guitar players of this world... so shut up :) (gtrslinger)

  • Malmsteen ??... pff... he is fast only... you're the tipical retard who thinks that speed, sweep picking etc is the most important in a guitar player... so shut up dude :)

  • what the hell? wylde? gilmor?vai?petrucci? all overrated pieces of crap. wylde can't play to save his life. you say nuno has bad tone? zakk wylde sounds like he's playing through a piece of shit line 6 solid state amp with all the effects on it turned up all the way. nevermind his playing. i didn't know it was possible to use the same riff for almost every song you do and still make people believe your good. vai is just overrated and has the thinnest tone ive ever heard in my life.

  • You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Saying any of those guitar players are over rated is bullshit. I love how you left out Hendrix, SRV, MAy, SRV, etc... proves your a faggot. not to mention Wylde is a guitar god and wait...what have you done? lol THAT'S RIGHT , NOTHING! You couldn't out tune Vai's guitar on your best day! lol So much ignorance spews from your mouth you need to change your name to "shit mouth 101" hahah SUCK IT, I'M THE WINNER AGAIN

  • no i didnt say Hendrix Srv and May are overrated because they arent. how does that make me a fag? because you cant handle it? what have I done? what the fuck have you done? THATS RIGHT, NOTHING! if anyone here is ignorant its you. if you dont like nuno theres no need to comment on a video with him in it. it just shows how immature you are and how you are trying to instigate fights with people who actually know good music. fuck off asshole. maybe mommy and daddy will listen to you piss and moan

  • If you dont have to prove anything to me, then what do I have to prove to you? your the one who asked me what Ive done and I simply asked you the same question. I dont think Im tough. Your the one who seems to think theyre tough. You still havent answered why your trying to start fights on videos of guitarists you dont like in the first place. If you had an ounce of respect for yourself you would just leave and stop making yourself look like an ass.

  • Nuno is huge. He has a superb touch, unique style, unrivalled percussive picking chops, flashy technique and a tremendous musicality. you are just stickin' with the most popular guitarists out there, lacking any real knowledge of the matter. If any of the living ones in your list read your comments, you would be covered in spit by every single one of 'em, most of the flegm being definitely May's. The only thing you win here is the Golden Douchebag. That must look good on your mantelpiece.

  • -??? You didn't understand a word I wrote, didn't you? What are you, 7?

    -Hendrix is still popular? Wooow, that's new to me! Thanks for the heads up!

    -quote: "If he was so "amazing" and "great" why isn't he more sucessful than he is?"

    This proves my theory about your age. You're definitely 7, maybe 8. Greatness is measured by popularity. Hahaha, you're a laugh.

    Please, go on embarassing yourself. Winner my ass!

  • @8ulls3y3 you're dumb too ... gawd .. what planet do you people come from??? are you deaf??????????????or just dumb??? .... i know ..... BOTH! get over yourself and if you dont like this kind of music then get the fuck off of this page .. geez .. maybe you need to grow up and stop coming to places that you are only here to start shit with other ppl .. we like him so who gives a shit what you think! stop starting shit and shut the fuck up!! .. go watch jimmy hendrix videos or something ..

  • @hotbitch624 I'm definitely pro Nuno and I didn't start any shit. You clearly are mistaken.

  • @gtrslinger What are you talkin' about man? His picking is beast, his riffs are the funkiest, most epic riffs of all. Nuno's my hero! He's the one that got me into guitar. Do you even play guitar man? Cause I bet I could show you up if you do, and I'm 12.

  • no he's not, he's never been and you are a moron! haha HE'S A HAS BEEN NOW! Who else are you going to say is a "god" warren Dimartinin? CC Deville? haha faggot

  • For all MIZZU fans and to all TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE THIS BAND KIKIN IT ^^

  • nuno u re the best... no doubt at all..

  • Why is it you dont mention John Paul Jones Playing bass?

  • Nuno scatting made my day.

  • First, define cheese in this situation. I'm thinking of dairy products, but I assume that is not what you are talking about.

    Second, he can write a decent song. Listen to 'Waste of Time'

    Third, Wow, you're 26? Might want to change the way you talk, you sound like a 12 year old.

  • ...What?

    If you knew anything about Paul Gilbert, you'd know that among guitarists he is one of the most respected. He's also hit a shredding speed of 21 notes per second. And he was Buckethead's teacher.

    lern teh fax pl0x?

  • I know alot about paul gilbert.. I've been playing guitar since I was 13..I'm 26 now.

    I went through my vai/satriani cheeeese phase.. now thankfully I'm out the other side unscathed. I don't care how fast he can shred... he can't write a decent song to save his life.. and thats why nuno is waaaaay better!!.. funkydomotherfosmyth!!

  • they're ear defenders not headphones

  • wOw with Paul Gilbert, hehehe,,, I know this is Guitar Wars. if you say against Nuno your just jealous,.. he is very handsome and very talented...

  • Please don't sing anymore, Nuno.

  • did he just give up on words, lol

    love it

  • Love Nuno!

  • el sonido esta mal acomodado y ese dia se ve ke nuno habia transnochado tambien ;)

  • this is his best song listen to the album version this is bad audio completly underated song and musician

  • fuck you!

  • Get lost . Nuno is awesome, just saw him and he's brilliant as a matter of fact and quite a good singer as well.

  • You enjoy shitty music, my friend! It's true!

  • Well what do you know about that? I happen to like Extreme (not all of it) so what? I am an enormous Jimi Hendrix fan and I love led Zeppelin, Van Halen, U2(sometimes. Want to call them shitty as well? What music do you like then?

  • I am only messing with you. I don't like Nuno or Extreme but understand why you might - to each his own. I like the rest of the stuff you mentioned - but if you want to hear some really good guitar playing you should listen to some Django.

  • Django? Thats like someone telling someone thats talking about Jazz legends to listen to some Dimebag Darell

  • and just who the fuck are you ?

  • Someone with better taste than you.

  • What you are is a 38 year old gobshite nobody . who seems to like conducting himself in the manner of a poorly disciplined 13 year old child.

  • Back in the day of 1997 I had no home, an uncomfortable place to stay and heart. I walked with walkman in hand to a baseball field, this jam played and I danced fulfilled with my low top Nike's on and this song remains a happy memory, "Thanx Nuno".

  • schizophonic was good, but i can't ever get through more than 5 or 6 tracks because it gets a bit boring.

  • evh is dead...he should hang it up.nuno goes above and beyond...

  • What relevance does that have to anything?

  • i love nuno,,

    he gets so into his peformance,

    lmfao

    while the keyboard solo--ahahha,i lvoe himm

    his prescence on stage is amazingg

  • extreme - star

    new song

  • Who is Pablo????????

    Nuno is the best

  • pablo gilberto! paul gilbert/pablo gilberto!!!pablo or paulo, it's what you want!

  • Yeah

    I guess so......

    Thanks

  • I dont give a damn about dying hair,he is jamming the stage here:rockNroll:finally!

    As a guitar player he is the BEST.

    TO all of you,Guys out there, it is easy to criticize him ,but did you try to play guitar and sing at the same time?

    Yeah??? well I did and I can appreciate if someone can do this, concentrate on both and keep contact with crowd as well.Nuno did itWELL.3 in1 and none of it was average, perhaps he does play better than he sings but he is doing it at the same time, remember!!!

  • I love it when people criticize guys like Nuno for dying their hair, wearing nail polish or eyeliner or whatever, saying they're superficial... last time I checked, judging people by their appearance is pretty much the definition of being superficial.

  • wat band did nuno do this with cuz i cannot find it on itunes newhere and would like to get it

  • I know its a late answer, but gravity was released as a single and on the album Schizophonic in '96 by Nuno as a soloartist. If you can't fint it on itunes you can buy it on gomusic [dot] ru

  • i found it a while back lol so it is a bit late but i appreciate the response none the less

  • it's on his own cd shizophonic which is amazing!!

    love it

  • I LOVE NUNO!!!

  • don't be so rude to nuno!

    he's very very great.

    I think he can sing great.

    and his music is the best.

    I love him

  • pablo gilberto can sing better

  • pablo gilberto is awesome!

  • I just loved nuno's video and he's so adorably cute! First time viewing his video!

  • Is John Paul John on the bass?

  • yes it's Jonesy on bass!! (the french guy)

  • i have this dvd and it sounds way better there. somethings wrong here.

  • well...pg is my favourite...but nuno sings the same things he plays!!

    the things could be studied before...ok...but It's difficult! amazing... 5 stars

  • I like it, i like bettencourt, don't get me wrong. but this song has too much of a when the levee breaks vibe to me. You can't hear it that well in this vid cause the audio is horrid, but listen to when the levee breaks and you'll notice. Not saying it's a total ripoff but still.

  • its not at all, if you listen to the chorus

    or you know about guitar

  • Why are you talking so rude about nuno? You look that he can "sing" during his solo. That's amazing... he's god

  • mr. paul

  • Why do all of his video's sound qualities make my ears hurt? He's awesome but I can't stand listening to his videos.

  • cuz hees to underrated and noone with adequite sound recording technology goes/brings their equipment to the shows

  • lol

  • stick to playing nuno...and grow your hair back. ugh!

  • farmcandle - Why do you cuss Nunemiah Bettencourt?

  • he can sing just as good as the rest. dont give him shit about his singing.

  • When was this ? yeah his vouice sounds rough here...he doesn't sound bad on his solo record though

  • Awsome!!!! Nuno AND Paul Gilbert

  • Nuno can NOT sing. xD

  • It's a mixture of bands. There is Nuno Bettencourt who is singing and he is from Extreme and DramaGods, But then there is also Paul Gilbert playing guitar and he is from Racer X and Mr. Big.

  • whats this band called plz reply

  • Steve Hackett???

    What I see is one John Paul Jones there!

  • he has a wonderful voice, more than words is proof of that. He may have been tired or whatever, or maybe a little off that night. dissapointing solo.

  • Man ! He should leave the mic alone and stick to the guitar, just like paul gilbert, great players though, but no no EVH or Vai, just standard virtuoso's, no revuloutionists, i apologise if this bursts anyones contemporary bubble, just my opinion.

  • I didn't see Steve Vai or Joe Satriani in this video... oh wait, this wasn't G3?

  • lol ,.. no

  • Maybe he paints his nails so loser guitarists can try to see where his fingers are going lol. HIs voice is good i think you cannot judge from this fudged up thing.

  • From the Ministry Of Si:-

    Men are not Gods. I am an atheist. Nietche said God is Dead, some people say this in song. EVH is not God, wanking is free sexual therapy and self expression is the core to art. Music is art - as is coloered hair. Go DYE PUNKs!!

  • okay i don't mind the hair, but painting the fingernails black?? i dunno man

  • Appreciate the effort the person made in putting this up, but the audio quality here is awful.

    Nuno has got a decent voice, and you can tell it on his own stuff or with Extreme.

  • GUITAR WARS WAS THE FUCKIN SHIZZ

    damn, all the haters should just get off Nuno's nuts already. Nuno can grow wings and fling sulfur at you.

  • Bettencourt is wearing dye in his hair. My knowledge of the human anatomy is somewhat limited, yet i have the necessary understanding of the subject to know that Nuno Bettencourt is not a 15 year old girl. This brings me back to my original point of... Why is he wearing hair dye? If your a bloke it's wankerishness and if your a woman it's pure lying. Preach.

  • Dye in hair-And??? That is so 'old school' thinking. Hair color is no longer only for old women to cover white hair, or teen grls, such old world thinking! Like pre-70s, by the 80s hair color was acceptable for all ages of females, streaks, tips, and highlights. Guys too especially in rock bands bleached it out and sometimes dyed it black or both.

  • 'you're a woman'. Did you even go to school?

  • he;s not the worst singer. but he's certenly not the best either XD

  • horrible singer horrible. but the man can play (just not in this video) lol

  • trouble is, his guitar is slung too low, making it harder to play and he needs a vocalist.

  • oh god! 3:31 is so awsome! and its very badass when hes singing what hes playing:)

  • Hackett ain't here man...

  • Goddammit the keyboarded destroys the whole song!

  • Agreed!

  • Nuno's voice is shredded up from the road. Give him a break.

    P.S.

    JOHN PAUL JONES!

  • Good to see Gilbert and Nuno together. I always thought they go good together. That'd be great if Mr. Big and Extreme did a reunion tour together someday. Makes perfect sense to me.

    P.S. Tinnitus (Permanant ringing of the ears) isn't fun. I got it from listening to Big Wreck and Extreme on my headphones when I ran. So pleas do be careful to keep that volume control under 7-8.

  • No! Meant to put that here! Anyway, I agree! I'm a dumbass!

  • For guitar-pc-software see: www lickonizer de

    www dot lickonizer dot de

    Please make a link in your homepage

  • "gravity pull me down underground" too right mate and not soon enough-stick to the guitar playing and save the strangled noises when gravity does its job.

  • Haha the vocal/guitar solo sucked lol.

  • that's john paul jones from led zep on bass!!

  • no one noticed John Paul Jones?? Oh wait....someone did! LoL

  • you won't get any better than john paul jones on bass!

  • Damn that is JPJ!  Cool. although the performance was iffy.

  • Competant dick-waving rubbish. Let's not get too overexcited.

  • YO....Wow...Thats John Paul Jones on bass!!! Way cool.

  • Sounds like Nuno may have had some voice problems before this concert. Sounded like he was struggling at parts.

  • that bassist is a fucking genius.

  • why do some guitar players insist on wearing those stupid pilot headphones? they look ridiculous. just proves what a nerdy twat paul gilbert is

  • you are a tool sir. Paul gilbert is partially deaf and uses those as a means as to not go more deaf

  • Paul Gilbert is indeed nerdy, but that's part of his charm.

    Also that and he's freakin awesome.

  • true that

  • Paul Gilbert wears those headphones for his ears sake...If you didn't know, his hearing isn't doing to good from playing next to huge tube amps for his whole career.

  • Proof, you say? Well, I sure am convinced.

    Bettencourt should be spanked for singing anywhere near a mike, though.

  • Well, He wears the big headphones due to his hearing loss from years of loud shredding guitar. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

  • You have obviously never had tinnitus. Players like Paul Gilbert, Zakk Wylde, and Eric Johnson damaged their hearing PERMANENTLY from playing too loud. It is irreversible, and NEVER heals. I'm sure you think that losing your hearing is just things getting softer and people have to yell at you, but you're wrong. Tinnitus is permanent, loud ringing, all the time, even in your sleep (if you can sleep with that noise in your head).

  • If this sounded as i assume it is intended (cleaner vocals and flashier solo) it would be more impressive, so the impressive thing about this song is more the concept than the execution, which I belive was less than adequate. not that i have the right to criticise Bettencourt.

  • damn, doesn't matter how many times i see Nuno's N4 guitar it makes me drool

  • good old gilbert

  • Yeah that is paul gilbert on second guitar. he just cut his hair if you didnt recognize him

  • Oh my god I am still so in love with Nuno 13 years after I saw him with Extreme live xx

  • who is on second guitar. Is that Paul Gilbert I I really wonder.

  • yes

  • John Paul Jones!! he is the most under-rated bass player/muscian in the world!! he is incredible! why r Nuno and Paul so good?!?! :'( that dude on the keyboard was sick!! shred! shred! shred!

  • Dude, I think it's cool that you put these videos up, but you really need to work on whatever's happening with the sound quality. This is the 2nd one I've seen that has that shitty, "compressed flanger" sound to it.

  • Yeah that is John Paul Jones on bass. You can hear him in the bridge. I love this album.

  • bah,i always thought Nuno can play! It was really bad...

  • This clip is from the TV broadcast rip and the audio compared to the actual DVD scene's audio..well...there is NO comparison. Thanks for sharing Nuno though, always glad to see new shared clips on YouTube...

    - reversearchitect

  • that constant phaser in the back of the mix has got to go. his mic technique isn't all that great either -- pretty much, this sounds like a great guitarist trying his hand at singing... :P

  • Where the hell is Hackett?? What a dissappointment!

  • what a relief u mean - Hackett wouldn't lower himself

  • more to the point isn't that John Paul Jones on bass????

  • When i heard about this gig i cried knowing that i couldn't go. Life's a bitch!

  • NUNO come back, come back where ever you are!!!

  • nuno's with his new band dramagods! check em out bro it's wicked

  • nuno rocks!!!

  • No one can still hold a candle to him!

  • i want to see Viking Kong!!

    Anyone posts it please.

  • Quite possible the boring music to ever come from the axe of Nuno Bettencourt. Oh wait.. he did help to create 'Waiting for the Punchline', didn't he?

    Man.. I sure miss the Nuno that played on the first 3 Extreme albums. Nobody could hold a candle to that guy.

  • wftpl is awesome whatchu know bout nuno. grevity is way better when it's nuno and his band tho so u do have a point. bitch

  • lol.. well, I've been a guitarist for over 20 years and I can play most of his songs and solos from the first 3 Extreme album.. and Nuno was the guitarist that inspired me more than any other.. so I'd say that I probably know a bit more about him than you do... and even most people. Turns out that you don't know as much as you thought about me!.. bitch.

  • Hah! Owned.

    Yeah, extreme 4 sucked more than I would have believed possible. Pornograffiti was really the pinnacle, for me. The seeds of idiocy were already being sown with Warheads. As soon as any hard rock band mixes political "commentary" with their riffs you may as well just give up.

    Diskneelande does sound crimincally retarded, but he never actually said you were "just a girl". He just called you "bitch". Which is worse, actually, but still. His video make me throw up down my shirt.

  • That's ironic. I call someone criminally retarded and mis-spell "criminally". That's some good shit, right there.

    Anyway, where was I . . . Sara, I think you should put your stuff up. So few women play this kind of style, and there's nothing funnier than an ego-raddled teen guitarist getting comprehensively humiliated.

    http://www.myspace.com/electri­csymphony

  • Fully Agree, Dave!! Pornograffiti was in a class all its own!! One of the greatest albums of all times!

    I don't mind being called a bitch.. but get to know me first! ;)

  • And oh yes.. I watched your 1985 video. Trust me.. you are nowhere close to me as a guitarist and I'm a girl! It was cute though.. in a "junior high" kind of way.

  • Hey Sara, i agree those 3 first extreme albums are the best but you still get great songs and incredible rifts from his other projects.

    About your critics on Dizkneelande, Why dont you upload some of your own stuff?

  • Without a doubt, he has some great riffs.. and great songs outside of Extreme! I have always followed Nuno. I was just talking about this song in particular being boring. He's so good... It bugs me to see something so musically average from such a musical genius.

  • Yeah, lest we forget, the more convoluted the song, the more notes there are in a song, the better it is...yeah, way to go.....

  • I only ripped on him, because he was ripping on me..  and I thought it funny that he thought it important to try and put me in my place from a guitar standpoint because he assumed I was "just a girl" and couldn't possibly know as much as he does about guitar. Lol. Music is my life. I don't post my stuff on youtube. I like to visit though. I have my own site as a professional artist, but I don't give the URL, as having a bit of anonymity allows me to post freely.
