I worked at Guitar Center in Boston in the early 00's. Nuno came in one day, we had one of his signature guitars on the wall. He took it down, started playing it and said "This is all wrong". He then took it to the counter, asked for a few tools, and set it up. Once he was satisfied he played it for awhile and popped it back up on the wall. Cool guy.
-
Their "III Sides to Every Story" album is a masterpiece.
-
I wasn't a big fan of the song initially listening to it, but as soon as Nuno kicked in with the solo I felt like I met up with an old friend I hadn't seen in 20 years. It was a magical feeling I haven't felt in a while
-
To me this song is a love letter to all the greatness of rock with obvious nods to STP, Dime, EVH, and Faith No More. Not ripping shit off but more like reminding you of a place and time you might of forgot, and Nuno is here to remind you.
-
EVH himself used to play He Man Woman Hater as a pre-concert sound check/warm up before every show. His sound guy just thought it was his own riff that they hadn’t made into a song yet. It wasn’t till he asked Eddie why they hadn’t turned that stage riff into a song yet that he found out where it was from.
-
Nuno really caused a few waves in the guitar community with this didn't he? I'm so hyped to have Extreme back! 😍
-
Rock is not dead. In a post Eddie Van Halen world, Nuno is flying the flag for guitar playing... how cool is that.
-
From what I've read and heard, Nuno felt with the loss of Eddie Van Halen, he wanted to do something that brought guitar back to the forefront....the playing we all love. Thanks to Nuno and Extreme. I have been waiting for him to shred again.
-
Nuno Bettencourt is everything a guitar player should be. Great song from a great band. 👍👍
-
Glad to see Extreme is trying to keep rock n roll alive. Nuno is really good.
-
There are a million guitar players staring at their fretting hands, after seeing Extreme's new video, and saying, "But... But... My fingers can't do that." Love the heavier sound after their albums just got way too artsy-fartsty. This is the Extreme we've been waiting for!
-
STP's "Purple" is one of my all time favourites but this song reminded me more of a Velvet Revolver track (also a Scott Weiland band)
-
Nuno doesn’t make mistakes. I was privileged to watch Mourning Window practice in Boston years ago. They practicing through their, then, new album. Not one mistake from the other members was missed by Nuno. He would just look over and they knew he knew. One of my all time favorite guitarist. No one can play like him like no one can truly paint like Van Gogh.
-
From the awesomeness of 'Am I Ever Gonna Change?' to the emotion of 'Rock-a-Bye' to the country-style 'Take Us Alive' to the swagger of 'Shadow Boxing' Nuno always delivers imo.
-
His two solos for Play with me and get the funk out are some of my fav solos of all time
-
Extreme coming back this hard is so cool and this kind of breakdown and overall analysis of Nuno's playing is really fantastic, thanks for this.
-
Hah! So I'm not the only one that instantly thought of "Silvergun Superman" when hearing the vocals. One of my fave STP tunes!
-
A lot of those licks are actually licks that Nuno has been doing for most of his career. They’re all over all of their albums. Nuno is just a bad ass!
-
a MASSIVE part of Nuno's bag of tricks is palm muted legato(he'll tell you, too). He's just so damn clean at it and those Bill Lawrence pickups are SUPER articulate(I have an N24). The whole dotted 8th delay thing was mainly for Bumblebee, he rarely uses it, otherwise. Check out a live version of him doing Midnight Express for a clinic on his picking/precision!
-
I thought exactly the same, Stone Temple Pilots, about 2 seconds before they were even mentioned. And now I can't unsee Ben Stiller.
