    Cool Nuno story -- I was one of the journalists on Rihanna's 777 media tour back in like 2013. Basically she toured 7 countries in 7 days and piled all of us in a 777 plane for the week to go with her. Nuno was her touring guitarist. It was one of the craziest and most tiring weeks of my life. By the end of the trip, flying from Berlin back to NYC for the final show, we were all exhausted. We had all been promised an interview with Rihanna, but it never happened. So we all were pretty over it and just wanted to get back home. As we descended into NYC after another red eye flight, Nuno emerged from first class with his acoustic guitar and started playing. Here we were feeling largely ignored by RiRi and Nuno took it upon himself to show a little love our ways. He played a few songs for around 20 minutes, the entire cabin providing the vocals. I wish I could remember what he played... it was a few songs that everyone knew the lyrics to. It definitely picked us up and I'll never forget it.

    No disrespect to Herman, but this is literally my first time hearing Nuno in my 62 years, 46 of which has been playing, 25 as a touring pro in an east coast regional band, the rest as a studio musician. Nuno is what I call, a composition soloist, as opposed to muscle memory soloist. He is producing the solo live, as he plays, very rare in today's music scene. Of course, he's not from this particular sterile era, either. His funky chord speed riff was just as exciting as any of his other riffs. There is a point where muscle memory, like most of us have developed, morphs into something else. Something much more extraordinary. Jimmy had it, Vaughn, Beck, Eddie, Vai and others from past generations. Nuno has it, and thank GOD he's still with us. A living breathing example of what all guitarist should strive for! The fundamental principles of his performing style, playing style and composition style, can translate to any Genre. Bruce Lee once said, " Be like water!" Nuno seems to have achieved that with his guitar. Simply amazing. Now, I have to go buy Extreme's entire discography. I would appreciate suggestion as to which ones to purchase first, which songs most guitarist concentrate on. Maybe I can still learn a few extra riffs, even at my age, or I can, at least, die trying! That would be a great way to go!:) Better than sex!!!!!

  • @brentbaker6894
    @brentbaker6894 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Nuno is one of the truly "timeless" talents that I have had the honor to witness in my lifetime. He has a fundamental view that the guitar is also a percussion instrument, and with his "muting" technique he has made a certain type of sound "his own". This is something the very best players have been able to do, and even though I would argue that most of the "virtuoso players" have implemented the guitars ability to be percussive, Nuno did it in a way that will ensure he is credited for it over time. And that means that history won't be able to forget the skills. His unbelievably high level of dexterity, his incredible legato technique, his "off the charts" pick speed/technique, etc etc etc. Or that there probably wasn't a better rhythm player that ever existed, certainly not in the "generation" he played in. Add in the songwriting ability, along with the fact he was one of the best harmony vocalists ever, and you have a true "legend" in the sum of the parts. That he has a great personality and sense of humor (while remaining very humble) makes him great "role model" material. The next generation of players should absolutely be studying Nuno, because he has perfected all the necessary requirements to be a guitar hero. I would argue that nobody in history is necessarily "more skilled" than him (considering his lack of weaknesses), and that his techniques should be studied and used by future players in generations to come.
    But I wasn't expecting to be as impressed with the new song (and specifically the solo) as I was! It is truly an example of a player that has become totally comfortable handling the instrument, and is capable of maaking any amount of "over the top" guitar playing both "musical" and "interesting". The message he sent to the new generation of "speed demon" players on social media sites everywhere is one that resonates loudly. It takes more than just great picking technique to become a complete player at the highest level. Congratulations to him and the whole band, they deserve the accolades. I thought they were both "under-appreciated" and "under-rated " then, so maybe now they will get the attention they always deserved.

      Nuno é um guitar Hero. Pra mim, não existe ninguém que chegue aos pés do Nuno. Ele além de grande musicista, tem uma humildade, carisma, carinho e atenção com seus fãs, difíceis de vê em outros rockstar. Nuno é maravilhoso e Extreme segue arrasando por onde passa.🙏🎸🎸🎶

  • @shaanchaudhry5719

    Nuno’s ABSURD f’n guitar solo in the new single “Rise” brought me to this interview as I’ve kind of gone down the rabbit hole. As soon as I heard it, I was stopped dead in my tracks. I now know exactly what Nuno means when he says he won’t release anything unless he is wowed by it. First half of solo reminds me of the beauty of EVH, then the last section made me go “wtf was that?!?!?!”. That was all Nuno. Genius.

    Cool nuno and extreme story here… fall of 91 (around that time) Lol. extreme stayed around a week at a chalet at a resort where I worked in Banff Alberta Canada. I was a housekeeper and knew who these guys were and loved their first couple albums. After they checked out.. I began to clean.. ( and they we’re amazingly clean guests btw ) In the garbage I found a couple pieces of crumpled up paper with what looked to be lyrics etc, which I presumed was what they were working on for the next album.. I folded it up, placed in my pocket.. and to this day is my prize possession as turned out to be my all time favourite band. Extreme and Nuno were absolute legends in the music world. They have and are still leaving their mark wherever and whenever they play. Thank you Nuno! 🙏 god bless.

    Nuno talking about the emergence of grunge music at 48:00 is so refreshing. He had every reason to resent Nirvana and how it affected Extreme and their genre, but he totally embraced it. This is why Nuno has consistently worked for the last 30 years across all genres of music. This dude is a true musician through and through, from the look to the talent to the knowledge.

    I will be honest here, I never really listened to extreme or knew about Nuno. After watching this entire stream however, Nuno is an amazing guy! I am 34 years old an feel like the rock I was living under was lifted because of Herman...(thank you, technology does work ;) ) I paused from time to time an listened to some Extreme to get up to speed and man how did I miss this... Its not because there not amazing... its this damn rock I must of been living under... some really impressive Boulder I guess lol...
    That whole video was amazing though I felt like I was listening to one of my childhood dreams talk about the life even though I didnt know about him until now. Nuno has a special kind of charm in how he talks where I couldn't look away. I have been playing guitar for 15+ years (whos counting at that point) and kinda wanna try out some extreme now to see if I got it or not.

    Nuno, man, you're taking me back. I was in Boston in the early 1990s and played in the Battle of the bands. I'm pretty sure it was 1993 because it was the crystal Pepsi era. I had my first and last Crystal Pepsi while watching you play after the battle is over. We were a terrible band. But had a blast competing in the battle.

He was a big influence on my playing, I never had his success but it was pretty magical watching them back then, they already had “it” back in the 80’s. Super smart and interesting perspective on the buniness.

    I just love this episode! What's better than having two of the best guitar heroes of our generation?! Nuno was such a role model for rockstars for his down to earth attitude and candidness! And Herman rocking those Jordan 12's was golden!

    One of my childhood heroes, been playing my old N2 guitar for 30 years now. Wasn't aware he is such a cool dude, too.

    Wow, this is a great interview! Nuno seems like such a cool dude. I'm from Massachusetts and went to Berklee. There was always a mention of Nuno from other guitarist in the Boston area.

    Extremes contribution to the Freddie Tribute Concert was phenomenal!!! The guys absolutely nailed it. The emotion and passion poured out of them. They honoured Freddie, Brian and Roger. ❤️🤩⭐️

    This interview is so awesome! Obviously Nuno has been in the category of guitarists I worshipped for decades, but now hearing this discussion my admiration for him as a person even higher

    Nuno is on another level! I have always been a shrapnel guy, Nuno always held a candle to them all. Underrated is an understatement. Great interview! Both you dudes have great personalities and humble spirits. Love it! 🤘❤️🎸

    Nuno looks like he's nearly 20 years younger, look at his jawline, look at his chin look at his skin tone around the cuff of his shirt sleeve.... And he has the beautifully frenetic energy of a 20-year-old.... And he's one of the greatest of all time. 🙏🏼
    When he came on to the scene with their debut record he looked older than me and obviously played better than me, I'm still younger than him, but he looks younger than me, and still plays better than me lol

    Nuno is such lovely a chap, and in this interview he gives some of the best life advice I’ve heard in years! Find your passion and work in that field - embrace every aspect of it. This is so important. Once you have clearly identified your passion in life, it opens up many career opportunities where you can spend your day being around what you love. It’s simple advice, but it’s also perfect advice.

    I've watched quite a few Nuno Bettencourt interviews but I must say this one changed my view on him. He's human, afterall. ;)))) His passion for what he does and his outlook on life is inspiring ("...the guitar (or whatever you do) is the victory!" WOW!!!). Thank you for taking the time to make this interview possible and for sharing it with the rest of us who sometimes get lost in the distractions of life and neglect to see what really matters! Um abraço para o Nuno, desde a ilha Terceira!

    Numero Nuno! From the second I heard play with me in bill and ted’s excellent adventure I became a true fan! Great interview and can’t wait for the new extreme album. Also props for nuno being a fan and torch bearer for great art and music of all varieties! Back in late 1992 I would regularly crank images and words, iii sides, the black album, roll the bones, nevermind, cherry pie, f.u.c.k and vulgar display of power equally and loved them all and still do!

    Nice! Thank you so much Herman and Nuno for this interview! Nuno always been an inspiration for the last 30 years musically and humanly! Nuno is so humble and down to earth :) in high school, I wore black nail polish while I was learning guitar but I developped my own style since all these years ;) One of my favorite solo ever is from Extreme, ''King of the ladies'' :) Peace!

    I'm in Australia and it took me 6 months of searching (everywhere in the world) to get Schitzophonic. Very worth it but so different from Extreme. I'm 53 now and Nuno and Eddie are my two biggest reasons for picking up a guitar. Love that Nuno did work with Baby Animals (Aus. band) too. That and the Van Halen tour influence made a huge difference! Nuno's playing and who he is make him one of my guitar gods. It's about the music for him and I love that!

    Nuno is so damned good. I bought Extreme for More than words cuz I had a fight with my then-wife. We danced to it. Then the hard stuff kicked in. I turned it off, not wanting to spoil the make-up mood, but thought "I gotta hear this later". Loved it.

    Thankyou Herman, as that was such a fantastic Interview. I understand that music is a very personal thing, but on that basis - Three Sides to Every Story is still in my TOP 5 deserted Island CD's List along with such CD's as Dark Side of the Moon. So it was so great to hear from the man himself... ; )))

    So true what Nuno says at around 47:30. I've seen Extreme a bunch of times over the past 30 years and they never just mail it in -- they rock out every second they are on stage and put their all into every song
