Nuno Bettencourt (Dramagods) - Something About You (Live)

[clownmanredux]

I dig Nuno, just spent over $100 re-buying all his CDs because I've played them to death lol. But can definitely do without hearing his political opinions. I hope Jeb runs, just so I can vote for another Bush now.

[wfenio]

right on Nuno! I agree with the George Bush comment too.. but he should say the same about Obama these days, since he is not much different the big issues. Republicans AND Democrats suck!!

[flyingKati]

I was there, frist row ;)

[grundletickler]

Love the music, don't care for the political opinion at a concert. Still not close to the disappointment of seeing U2 live with their opinions.

[Lagomort]

Wow, Karn has no idea what it means to be an American huh?

[ardnael24]

He's entitled to his own opinions, just a much as you are! Seriously it doesnt matter though as his music is just so cool and amazing. Who gives a fuck what he thinks of Bush etc!!

[lakerhart]

I LOVE Nuno not so much his opinions though.

[8brightside8]

The Bible Belt is the Deep South.

[Tulipp56]

there is something so magical about watching and hearing Nuno play....he truly is an artist.

[Tulipp56]

Nuno, I didn't think I could love you anymore...thank you for having the guts to speak up...always admire chutzpah..Fuck George Bush and the Religious right...they made our country a mess....My Man Obama will fix it....I worship at your feet B-man....hope I get to meet you someday..have a special request, not to fret pretty Suzie, it only involves an autograph....:)

[PAtDandFOB4ever]

Awe, Kevin. Haha

Nuno is amazing. One of my favorite songs of all time, and his voice--holy shit.

[Relena1983]

hopefully there is an OBAMA for now

he's right: George Bush is shit!!!

[crazy4nuno]

Why does your opinion matter and his doesn't? One of the wonderful things about America is that everyone has the right to express their opinion. His opinion is no less valid than yours, even if you don't agree with it. Do you think Bush is a great president? Do you think he's done great things for our country? If so, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I don't happen to agree with you. Does that make my opinion less valid? I think not. So grow up and stop name calling.

[luvisacigarette8]

im pretty sure he was just joking when he said that comment about the people in the middle of the country. he's a very sarcastic guy. so everybody calm down about it. oh yea. bush sucks

[meowomon]

Yes, fuck George Bush

[robinstl70]

I've been a fan since the late 80s but what he said about Bush telling mid America that God would punish them if they didn't vote for them is the stupidest shit I've ever heard in my life. It's embarrassing. A thousand bucks says he nor any member of his band didn't even vote.

While I'm at it I was born and raised in Sacramento but moved to St. Louis for a job after school and I it is the most uppity city I've ever been to. Believe me, they are left of center.

KC people are much nicer

[crazy4nuno]

I'm from the middle of the country (sort of) and I thought it was hilarious. I guess everybody's sense of humor is different. But, I hate Bush, so that could be why I found it so funny. I think Nuno's hilarious, so sorry if it offended you.

[meowomon]

I agree. Fuck Bush. He's a criminal.

[jeffegland]

I love Nuno! Hes the best guitarist ever......Give it up for Nuno!

[KaDkA20]

lucky one... :) ( :( )

[D22AEclipseMC]

I WAS THERE!

he is the best for me, a real Hero!

I loved shaking hands and Hugging these guys!! The Little Concert was superfantastic :)

This day i got my N2 Signed THE BEST DAY IN MY LIFE!

[borusaurus]

Nuno has a great feel of music. Some of his tones sound of rhythmn but if you listen carefully it's great timing! His melody keeps getting better with the time. i think not many guitarist can play his stuff.

[thetenia]

"all these weird people in the middle of the country" MOST of middle america is full of democrats. Illinois= Obama, Kucinich = Ohio. The guy has a right to his opinion, but it sure would be nice if he knew what the fuck he was talking about.

[crazy4nuno]

Illinois and Ohio aren't really considered the middle of the country. I think he's talking about the Bible belt (Kansas, Oklahoma, etc).  The Bible Belt is predominantly conservative Republicans. Perhaps he should have named specific states.

[Lagomort]

thetenia,,

Could you show me statistical evidence that most of middle America is made up of Democrats? Do not give me a few isolated sample errors... but give me the actual current states by registered voters, and how they voted please..

[thetenia]

Well, you're already discrediting examples by saying "sample errors". Which would show you already have made up your mind. It is readily available info, Union membership, lower education, this all equals democrat voter. Their demographic boils down to two extremes-The super wealthy, and the poor working class. If I give you a literal breakdown are you going to actually admit it, or argue?

[Lagomort]

Sample errors means that cherry picking does not usually give you accurate results of a whole, which is the claim..

Next, lower education does not equal democrat voter. Massachusetts has some of the highest educational standards and testing results in the country and we always vote democrat in presidential elections...

Now, finally, show me the stats that support your claim,,or just shut the effin' hell up...

[hotmetalslugs]

Right on Nuno - you are so right man.

Keep it up.

Your solo stuff gets better and better.

[daninacm]

Nuno rules, and bush does suck cock

[MWdream]

WTF is this??? Don't watch this, go check out Richie Kotzen.

[jasongextreme]

dude hate his opinion cause hes a blood sucking liberal like bily joe but you cant hate his music its a fuckin master piece man dont haye his work man

[slash81291]

haha it is for Slash as in the guitarist. Also, I AM a liberal socially, but fiscally conservative. I have been an independent for 8 years now. so you can F*** off.

[slash81291]

hey ass hole, i hope you never say anything about politics unless your a politican. seriously, keep it to yourself!

nuno is an artist, if you dont like his opinion, then you can not listen to it, he has every right to say what he thinks, as much as you do, and hey i can say one thing, theres more people that know Nuno than whatever your name is!

[Beatsmith2005]

what did the guy in the crowd say?

[salvatore508]

911 was a inside job, wake up and open ur eyes!! Nuno is not stupid hence why he brings up this topic.

[standardkeyboard]

what the... who's that guy at the back with a bald hair? is that a poster or a real human? :D

[Rhonester]

Carboard cut out

[Fusionjazzfunk]

you will play or not??

[ZANTEDESH]

TWO distinct issues i made a MISSPEAK. 1. PRACTICE 2. EDUCATION 1.NUNO is brilliant guitarist partly bcuz he PRACTICES. Does he PRACTICE to be President? I can learn guitar techniques from Nuno but why politics? Self-taught STILL connotes STUDY, so we agree. Politician -SELF TAUGHT. Celebs take liberties cuz they have charisma -NOT NECESSARILY prepared to LEAD. Saying "f*ck him" sounds ignorant.(2). "non-educated" celebs there i SHOULD HAVE SAID, "non-politican" celebs. MY MISTAKE.

[ZANTEDESH]

ok, last comment. you are not supposed to say f*ck him about the leader of the free world. Nuno crosses a line here - you actually cannot threaten the Pres. and he gets pretty close here. He should have stayed in school longer. Ok, no more from me. i am sorry i was hoggy. Very sorry fellow souls. Love to you all! Love to Nuno too. Speak thru your MUSIC, bro. Thanks.

[Rhonester]

Canadas more of a free world then America.

[ZANTEDESH]

not accurate to say "everybody cares about their views..." NO WE DO NOT. That is a fabrication from left wingers who OWN the media. educated types know better. NYT is only good for fish wrap to MANY people! Sign me a US CITIZEN at least! good grief. As for FOS IMHO with freedom comes responsibility - it's not carte blanche for verbal diahrea in this day of MASS MEDIA. Wars start over SPEECH you know. Nuno wants peace - we ALL want peace. He's not special in that.

[ZANTEDESH]

U no i thot i had this dude figured - then he takes some left turn. i don't know if i should love him or hate him. His music is awesome but - Dramagod? I HATE that. Did he switch to the other side? I felt his messages were good, but I am left clueless and questioning now. Me - i'm with God. GB should apologize for NUNO some time. LOL

[ZANTEDESH]

Interesting chat here. IMO. Nuno didn't finish hs - is that right? or am i misinformed? every field requires intense study. politicians may be wankers but they DO politics (laws, rules, whatever) all day long, like Nuno PLAYS. They don't tell Nuno how to play - he should stick to music, as should ALL non-educated celebs. If you have the goods, fine - LEAD. i can blab my opinions - no one CARES about me. not same thing as celeb. see?

[asshairman09]

since when does the fact that someone didnt finish high school make them uneducated? what about Einstein, Stanely Kubrick, quentin tarantino, Johnny depp, are they uneducated? maybe you should spend more time doing something besides starting useless conversation dismissing people

[ZANTEDESH]

By definition. Duh. I used the word "uneducated" because i wanted it to mean formal education. I did not say "stupid" and such. Nuno is brilliant, in my opinion. You are using "educated" in a broader sense. I do not equate education with intelligence, but education has a place in a person's development. Maybe you should spend time ignoring me, which would be fine. There, you see? That was my educated way of saying... well, you figure it out, your smart.

[asshairman09]

how about I end this wish one phrase:

You my kind Sir are a douschebag

[ZANTEDESH]

Got my MBA from international school. IMO if rock star craves political voice, WHY blow it with foul language? He sabotages his own views. Education can give you that epiphany. BTW JD is not in a class with Einstein. ? You calling me a "douschebag" is weak. Is that all you got? Or is that a movie line? As for ME dismissing people, No no. On OTHER Nuno videos i leave GLOWING EFFUSIVE words for NUNO. He is amazing and i've followed him for years. You are the one talking nonsense, my friend.

[ZANTEDESH]

i "love" Nuno as an artist. If he has something important to say and he wants middle America to respond, why sabotage himself through insult, calling them stupid and intertwining a bad God reference in the mix? I wish i had NEVER seen this! As for my old song about education - truly, once you get into high levels of education, you learn to shut up, because other intellectuals SOON let you know your sh*t stinks, and how full of it you are. Nuno would benefit.

[careypeak23]

Every field does not require intense study, some of the greatest musicians were self taught, and some of the greatest presidents were not politicians, they were self taught. Celebrities opinions are as good or bad as yours and mine. Its one opinion, one vote. And i'm not a celebrity or a politician, but i think Bush caters to the special interest of the christian right to get his votes, just as clinton caters to the left to get his vote. Who is for the common man, no one

[ZANTEDESH]

We agree more than disagree. I mostly take offense to celebs abusing platforms; a political speech at a funeral. I idolize Nuno all out of proportion. Then he hurts my sensibilities and i'm like, "oh no". I am crushed, if you must know. I may even agree with him; but the public crudeness. I cringe. the TRUTH -I don't want people to dislike Nuno. Get it now? I'm like "protective".

[ZANTEDESH]

WE are for the common man. i think Bush IS a Christian. But I'm NOT his fan. Q. If we can vote for a stupid SINGER, WHY can't we vote on NATIONAL ISSUES and abolish much of central government? We have the technology for democracy (vs Republic) but we continue to allow media/the powerful to jerk us around. WE the people must change it, as provided for in the Declaration of Independence, which says we can change our government if it stinks.

[careypeak23]

you should listen to some michael savage. After that you will say fuck all politicians. In his book "the political zoo" he shows how every politician on both sides are in bed with hollywood, the media, and religion. Both side are the same, corrupt. Our constitution works, but there are no good politicians to run it. I think bush says christian with his mouth ONLY, but most christians do. The progressive libs are a religion just the same.

[careypeak23]

Rich people run this world by buying thier candidate. The CEOs in the media, hollywood, and big buisness get what they want by pacifying the american people while they play with our freedom like they're at a poker table. For god or not for god, both sides are recruiting. We need a real wartime president to protect us, for the world is ready to do away with us. We just watch sports and desperste housewives and drool! Enjoy you freedom while ya got it! And yes, F Bush!!

[ZANTEDESH]

i say F all Polit NOW. we agree. i don't feel pacified tho.worked for ABC. Joke. Agree Pres. real job = protection if that's what U said. Party system = joke. i care deeply 4USA. F DHW. Female, btw. Stupid Youtube defaults to MALE. Also,I am not "most Christians" just fyi. I seek God. He showed part of His nature to me and blew my mind. Tx

[edmatper]

I feel exactly the same than Nuno does. Bush is a stupid and dangerous president. People has the right to say and to think. Artists too. And Nuno is a GREAT ARTIST. Love him. Stay free as you are.

[salvatore508]

ur all fags,, take things so seriously, have nuttin else better to do lol saddddd.

[surfz247]

He is just a bitter dick.

Chip on your shoulder gets worse when you're older. Had the 15 but got traded in for a better thing. Hip today... gone tomorrow, didn't expect it to happen to me, why am I sooo.. why am I sooo mmmmmmm such a dick.

[scottbremner]

I have always thought Nuno was a great player who REALLY understood good songs and good unique playing. Watching this makes me think he's a jerk who's not only zenophobic but also totally incapible of understanding peoples right to free speech (whoever they vote for). I don't think GB is a great choice as a president but last thing we need is another bloody celebrity mouthing off about politics.

[n00bdruid]

If you're going to use big words and pretend to be smart you should at least get the spelling correct, its Xenophobic. And the beauty of free speech is that is is a right that is held by all inhabitants of this wonderful country, even "bloody" celebrities.

[n00bdruid]

ROFL I flame some pretentious jerk for spelling xenophobic incorrectly and I misspell "it". Priceless. That's what I get for playing WoW for too long. Loss of typing ability.

[steve10358]

You guys are 100% correct. Nuno absolutely has a right to speak his mind. Unfortunately, he's an un-educated idiot who uses his celebrity status to soap box his opinion to people who look up to him, and not necessarily are aware of world events. Point being- people may decide to share his views cause he's "Nuno", and not because of their own free thought. and FYI - even if a musician shares MY views... I disapprove.

[jimdbrookshire]

To everybody above that does not respect ANYBODIES right to their OWN opinion rather they are a musician or not - get the F&*^ Out of our FREE country!! IDIOTS!!!

[deadkittens666]

i just wish he could get a good band together like zakk wylde

[salvatore508]

why is he a dick,, hes right bush is the biggest faggot to live.

[Thiago2069]

What did happen? The guy didn't like what Nuno said about Bush?

Anyway, this is one of the best versions for this song!

[blowme06]

he's such a dick...

[TravelingMatt8]

if that's your mentality, don't your views alienate such musicians?

[flirtbasse]

I love Nuno ...

[Arnotonian1]

I used to like him until I heard him running his mouth in this vid.  He should get the people in the middle of the country to write decent lyrics for him.

[steve10358]

Ugh. I love Nuno... but why can't musicians just shut the fuck up. Who cares about their views of the world. It just alienates fans.

[deadkittens666]

Apparently everybody cares about their views since the whole news and entertainment industry in the US work around their beloved "celebrities". Although you couldn´t put Nuno in the same category as such wankers,his views are as good as anyone´s, or who could you say is an expert on any matter in this world?

Musicians are not just people out there to entertain you, and certainly have a unique perspective on life, let them speak! you alienated bitch.

[chapsticka]

nuno's my uncle ! jealous much ?

[madmk]

No, not really, that would mean I have portuguese in my blood :D Joking.

[chapsticka]

lol is he portugese ? i never even knew that haha how good a family member am i.

[julianeve]

how do you not know that if he's your uncle?

[chapsticka]

we're not exactly close.

[julianeve]

okay whose daughter are you then? I mean, sorry, I know he has a ton of brothers and sisters. :) and that would be to believe, yes, that he can't be close to all his newphews and nieces

[lauroguitarrists]

amazing !! Nuno Rocks !!

[madmk]

Nuno = legend, awesome musician X)

[anthonychao]

catchy tune~~~~~, great artist, great song~!

[bikeb]

I love this tune, and the quality of this clip is just fine! Thank you!

[Dizkneelande]

nuno!
