tmwnat - Nuno is so cool he can wear his hair anyway he likes... and his wife is absolutely gorgeous - check our Suze De Marchi from Baby Animals playing Early Warning, Rush Me or One Word!
That's why I love Nuno, though he's so dope on guitar but uses that talent to focus on great song-writing and pieces that SERVE the actual song. He's just so much swagger, style, rhythm, and groove in his actual PLAYING. That's what absolutely amazes me about him.
Just to let you know, Paul Gil is my favorite guitarist but I'll have to admit even he gets sometimes too carried away in his songs on just impressive picking (which I won't diss, I love that as well) but Nuno is pure joy.
This is great stuff, wonderful raw music great chops, good energy and great hands all around. Nuno had the "tone, the chops, and the looks and the talent"... the early rise to fame of his band ordosed him with fame babes drugs and money. I saw him at namm he was screaming on stage "the sound sucks" and his sponsor was the sound company. His pissed off arogent 80's attitude fucked up his career. I hope he lives uo to his great potential. Hes gifted galore but acts like whore its a shame. Im a fan
@awesomejohnnet : How many times have you personally witnessed this "pissed off arrogant 80s attitude"? And if you honestly think that's what "fucked up his career", you know NOTHING. I'm sure he'll tell you his career is not, nor has it ever been, "fucked up". Nuno has always done what he wants. He left Extreme because he wasn't happy, and he wanted to do his own thing. And he's done it consistently since 1996. I've known him for years and have never witnessed this attitude you speak of.
@crazy4nuno I!m glad to hear what you said (that hes not like that) because being a Nuno fan myself I and many other fans were turned off by the whole negativity he displayed ( yes I have seen him in person) on a few occasions and it was just not becoming an artist of his talent. Fame has a way of knocking people off track, I think this is why Nuno is really not where he deserves to be today. He needs to backtrack regain his hard core fans , take of the lipstick and nail polish and just rock!
@awesomejohnnet Geeze, 20 yrs later & folks still bitchin' about the man's polished nails, hair, clothes, beads & feathers. So he has some quirks. Machs nichs; means nothing. It's all about the music/musicianship. Think you've misread the man's personality, friend. I've only seen from him humility, graciousness and a wicked, self-deprecating sense of humor. Fame/forune hasn't changed him; as modest now as ever. If he were to be arrogant, he'd be entitled. He's brilliant. And hot!
Brenda I agree that he is brilliant and I support the guy as a fan buy buying his tickets and albums etc but if you look at the audience at his shows there are more guys the gals... he is a guitar hero first and a pretty boy second.. that why he got his career all screwed up he forgot who his hard core "bread and butter fans" where and started acting like an arrogant podium model rock star and it turned of his core fans. We all love him but he blew it. he needs to focus.
@awesomejohnnet: If you were truly a hard core fan, you would forgive him for being HUMAN! Because let's face it, that's what he is. HUMAN! Everybody has bad days and bad moods. Are you perfect? Do you always say and do just the right thing? Do you always hold your temper? Are you always modest and humble? Are you always polite and respectful? Do you always treat others the way you would like to be treated? When you achieve perfection, feel free to toss some stones at Nuno.
@crazy4nuno I am a real fan. I have had fist fights with people who have called him a faggot. But why should I have to fight for his image that he screwed up? I do not come here to throw stones at Nuno I love him. I just think its sad that am artist of his great talent has not lived up to his amazing potential due to lack of focus. we are all still behind him but he needs to get out from behind Rihanna + stop being a rock Diva himself, and just go out there and Rock like a man, . JUST BE NUNO
@awesomejohnnet your so stupid I'm not even gonna waste my time typing up a really long thing disregarding you because it'll do know good I'm just gonna say you're so stupid
I think although a lot of people say Nuno isn't appreciated enough, anyone that truly knows a decent amount about real guitar playing, knows that Nuno bettencourt is one of the greatest guitarist around!
Nuno one of my fav guitar players, and im agrre that he isn´t recognized like others, he most be one of the most recognized in the world, his style is unique, very percussion and very fast wow this man is incredible
One of the best guitar players and high-talented musical that world has given and one of the unfairly less appreciated. This video is totally unbelievable, his deployment of technique amazing, the control of the rhythm and precision in his speed playing as he usually did
I still think his N4 is his best looking, sounding and overall best guitar in his collection. OK, I'm biased as I own an N4 too....can't wait to see Extreme on Monday hahah yeah booooooooooy!!!
Man, the very last seconds' riff is from teh last album in the song Comfortably Dumb....When is this live from? late 90's. He kept this riff all the way until Saudades de Rock! Wow. I actually saw him in vegas 2 weeks ago, caught a pick he threw! hehe! this guy is off the charts. simply genius!
Hah!!!! Has anyone noticed that the main riff is a lick from the video version of "Kid Ego". It's near the end of that solo. I noticed it right away, cuz it's one of his coolest melodic(& strange) licks.
The guy soloing at 6:00 is Ed Wylie. The other guitarist on Nuno's right side is his brother, Paulo. On bass there's Nuno's nephew Donovan and David Campaglia is behind drums.
I friended Paulo on MySpace. His music is awesome. You should check it out. Nuno's family is really, really talented. Nuno is, well, Nuno. Amazing. Incredible. Magnificent. Unparallelled. I could go on and on. The man is absolutely off the charts.
This song is called "60% Water" or "60% Masturbation". It's cool how there's many things in this song that he's put in his recent songs like the mainriff of DramaGods' Nice to Meet You at the beginning. Only two weeks for Extreme's new album Saudades de Rock. Can't wait!
