I like the way Nuno speaks so honestly, and how he's aware of his 'boss' as a human being as well as a performer/artist (when he talks about the pre-show prayer time). He still has the same spirit he had when he first became famous. Awesome
Nuno is NOT her guitarist. He agreed to tour with her after she begged him repeatedly for more than a year to do so to add the guitar element to her music. He agreed only after they agreed to let him call his own shots with his music.
He's light years ahead of her. She is a pop artist, he is a guitar legend. She should be thanking her lucky stars that she had the opportunity to be in his presence...
Thats my favorite guitarist of all time right there. When i first heard that he was playing guitar for rihanna i thought to myself: "way to sell out." but then i watched some concert footage and realized: "he's not doing anything too differently than he does in front of Extreme or Dramagods or Mourning Widows!" It is great to see him on this gig. I just wish it wouldnt slow things down with Extreme. Gary's not getting any younger, and I'm really looking forward to their new album!
amen.. Nuno has been around for nearly 30 years in the Music industry. Rihanna has been around for what? maybe 8 years. Nuno has started several bands and written all of his own music with it's own level of complexity. Rihanna's just a performer that's getting by on her looks and on her meager singling ability, not to mention getting rich of music written by other people. For Nuno to be Labeled "Rihanna's guitarist" is a huge slap in the face, followed up by a s nice spit in the spit
i don care if hes playin for rihanna now , he still is a guitar god , but the when i read the video title i felt sad for him , such an epic talent to be called "rihanna's guitarist"
Nuno, what you have been doing for the last few years is difficult to comprehend. The money must be great playing with Rihanna. Anyone that can hear and see has to know that you are the real star of the show. You are the most talented musician on any stage that you choose to walk on to. Looking forward to more from Extreme. Ditch Rihanna and get down to business.
No puedo creer que Nuno este tocando pata Rihanna. Nuno es un virtuoso de la guitarra, es para que este haciendo musica no comercial para una buena banda de rock. No desperdicies tu talento, Nuno.
She doesn't give a toss about her musicians and the proof is when she blew her top in London and accused the band of fucking up when she came in to early with her vocals.
I think what he meant that they are still doing these month long tours but are just doing 7 shows every week, that is gutsy because most rock bands do 4-6 a week when on tour, maybe more
Okay dont attack nuno i live in his home town and i represent him he has great music and it pays the morgage and he is amazing and my mom was his best childhood best friend so stfu
Hopefully, she's give us RnB and Reggae the next time around! Her bass guitarist is insanely talented and his brother is an RnB lead guitar genius...that would be a tour us non-rock fans would love! Jubu Smith, hopefully her next lead guitar player: 🙃 Jubu Smith , RnB, blues king! th-cam.com/video/KNGzgWowHKo/w-d-xo.html
One of the best to ever pick up a guitar, I'd love to see him on the G3 tour because I think Satch and Vai would be shaking in their boots (Eric Johnson wouldn't though, he's just way too cool lol). Can't criticise Nuno, ok so he's playing for a person who is basically just a lap dancer but she's a very popular one and I'm sure the pay is good!
wtf are you talking about? you have to come hereand defend Rihanna on a NUNO vid? who do you think you are? your opinion weighs just as much as ours, so basically its pointless. yes Riri makes more money, has more fans, but is that really the point?? we love Nuno and some people dont like R. i love them both. i think they work really well together. i am sure both of them thought about it. they both have the talent to be able to put a kick ass show together. stop bein defensive and start to love
What are you talking about? I am talking about Rihanna's drummer NUNO & you bring up Lady GaGa. STAY ON THE SUBJECT. Rihanna & Nuno have formed a tight bond over these three years, she even calls him up to go bowling and to do other activities. They are friends & have a professional relationship. You're saying "they have met only once"......& you're saying I'm slow? Get off your SHORT YELLOW BUS & learn something.
Nuno Has more talent in his pinky than Rihanna will get in her whole career. It's kind of funny, though, how he'd be labelled Rihanna's guitarist. Whatever the case, she picked the best.
Me:Wow Nuno is fucking awesome! Look how fast he can play! Me:*Clicks on this video' Me:No that can't be, this is some joke right? *Realization in 3 2 1* Me:NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NON ONO NO NO *Respect meter for Nuno Bettencourt: 100,000,000,000,000,000 *Respect for Nuno Bettencourt: -1 Me: NO NO FUCK SHIT WHAT THE HELL FUCK NO NO NO NO NO NO ONN ONONNONONONONONN! *Pulls out gun and commits suicide wait what? then how am I typing this comment? (FIND OUT NEXT TIME, SAME BAT CHANNEL SAME BAT TIME!)
In the fall of 2016, I was hired to play in Rihanna’s back-up band at the MTV Video Music Awards. To my pleasant surprise, several of my friends had also gotten the call. We felt that this would be the gig of a lifetime: beautiful music, primetime TV, plus, if we were lucky, a chance to schmooze with celebrities backstage. But as the date approached, I learned that one of my friends had been fired and replaced. The reason? He was a white Hispanic, and Rihanna’s artistic team had decided to go for an all-black aesthetic-aside from Rihanna’s steady guitarist, there would be no non-blacks on stage.
These comments kill me haha, if he was that good he wouldn't be a hired gun for Rihanna. Apparently he's not as rich as y'all think. Never saw Jimmy Page or Beck play for a pop queen.
Your crazy, If nuno is soo great how come he can't make a living off his talent with his own band? The truth is that not many people are into the kind of music that nuno writes and plays that's why he can't make a living and has to find a way to support his family. He has the talent and is being paid very well by an artist who is popular enough to generate the wealth to pay him a very good fee. Suck it up and grow up
What a waste. One of the top rock/metal guitarists, playing for this pop/hip-slop cookie-cutter trash.... I wonder if Nuno synchs his guitar playing on stage, too. Sad.

this guy is one of the best guitarist in the world ! love him
Rihanna should be called Nuno's singer, not the other way around!
Absolutely agree.
Tetea Khiangte Right. He's not her guitarist. He agreed to tour with her because she begged him for over a year to do so.
Tetea Khiangte exactly my thoughts
Exactly! :D
@@skylane923 she employees him and he was with her for more than one tour
Honestly he is a star in his own right ever heard of the song “More than words” it’s by Extreme. Nuno and his brothers group. Super talented!!!
His is a legend and bad ass guitar player!
I would Go to a Rihanna show just to see Nuno!
Nuno is NOT her guitarist. He agreed to tour with her after she begged him repeatedly for more than a year to do so to add the guitar element to her music. He agreed only after they agreed to let him call his own shots with his music.
He's light years ahead of her. She is a pop artist, he is a guitar legend. She should be thanking her lucky stars that she had the opportunity to be in his presence...
They're both insanely talented.
y’all say stuff like this to cope but in reality rihanna has gone to great lengths that nuno will never reach. hating on her won’t change that fact
que orgulho desse homem ser português :) I´m so proud that man is portuguese
really proud of him, proud to be portuguese : )
not only for this rihanna thing but also for extreme.
Thats my favorite guitarist of all time right there. When i first heard that he was playing guitar for rihanna i thought to myself: "way to sell out." but then i watched some concert footage and realized: "he's not doing anything too differently than he does in front of Extreme or Dramagods or Mourning Widows!"

Nuno is a Lord! ; ) Cool guy.
Rhianna's guitarist? More like, Nuno's singer, am I right?
Who was paying who? Whose songs were being played?
love Nuno's work :D
Extreme's lead guitarist Nuno Bettencourt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is AWESOME!
amen.. Nuno has been around for nearly 30 years in the Music industry. Rihanna has been around for what? maybe 8 years.

What the fuck
Nuno is greatest guitarist of all time
It's just a small mountain as he puts it. I'm hoping to hear more about when this tour ends and when he plans on getting back to his band!
Nuno, what you have been doing for the last few years is difficult to comprehend. The money must be great playing with Rihanna.

She's great he's great ☆♡★♥~
Rihanna's guitarist??ohh come on its annoying me...Nuno has been a STAR,a long long time before rihanna starts singing
Ce sont tous les deux de excellent artistes. I
Great interview. :D
Oh pleaaaase stop calling him Rihanna's guitarist.. it pains me!
He's not her guitarist, she's his singer.
Rihanna, Nuno Bettencourt's vocalist.
Nuno é maravilhoso
Holy shit, I'm Portuguese too, I'm so proud :D
NUNO ^.^ *fan girl scream* ❤
No mention of Extreme :-(
oh you like Nneka and Rihanna you are a perfect human being
Chris Angel is going on tour with Rihanna?!
She doesn't give a toss about her musicians and the proof is when she blew her top in London and accused the band of fucking up when she came in to early with her vocals.
I think what he meant that they are still doing these month long tours but are just doing 7 shows every week, that is gutsy because most rock bands do 4-6 a week when on tour, maybe more
Rihanna is Nuno's singer
exactly!
Okay dont attack nuno i live in his home town and i represent him he has great music and it pays the morgage and he is amazing and my mom was his best childhood best friend so stfu
That's cool thatvYour mom was his bff. My husband was his neighbor back in the Azores days.
Mom, not tv mom. Damn auto correct!
where's the problem in what he is doing with rihanna????he does very good because by now he has done everything and rihanna is perfect also....
1:25 what chord is that?
+pardeepbhachu
She wasn't complaining about the band but about the backtrack
Ri and Nuno needs a song together!!!
Yeah. They did one. She ripped off 'Ghost' from the Saudades album.
Not sure what it is called (her song) but it sounds spot on to the Extreme one.
yup.
Hopefully, she's give us RnB and Reggae the next time around! Her bass guitarist is insanely talented and his brother is an RnB lead guitar genius...that would be a tour us non-rock fans would love! Jubu Smith, hopefully her next lead guitar player: 🙃 Jubu Smith , RnB, blues king! th-cam.com/video/KNGzgWowHKo/w-d-xo.html
he said the word "talent" and "rihanna" in the same sentence lmao
nice

stratmanuk Nuno would be great on the G3

PORTUGUESE HELL YEAH PORTUGAL

I wonder if is from Puerto Rican heritage?
Guitar hero is master jimi hendrix
Listen to skin Nuno is all over that record
You must be slow. This has been RIHANNA'S MAIN GUITARIST for OVER THREE YEARS! WTF ...what are you talking about?
From Extreme to Rihanna >:/
*Rihanna's "guitarist" NUNO
Rather see him with Sia. Less commercial and more interesting. Probably not the budget there, though.
You need to change the title to guitar god
Nuno Has more talent in his pinky than Rihanna will get in her whole career. It's kind of funny, though, how he'd be labelled Rihanna's guitarist.
Whatever the case, she picked the best.
Whoa, this has zero views but it does have comments! Welcome to TH-cam's first "zero
NUNO>RIHANNA SING

Oh give me a break.
He's hott
More like "Nuno's singer Rihanna"
Never seen him before
nuno is the only talent on stage
The title is not good
wtf riganas guitarist?????
Sadly not popularity-wise, though.
In the fall of 2016, I was hired to play in Rihanna’s back-up band at the MTV Video Music Awards. To my pleasant surprise, several of my friends had also gotten the call. We felt that this would be the gig of a lifetime: beautiful music, primetime TV, plus, if we were lucky, a chance to schmooze with celebrities backstage.
But as the date approached, I learned that one of my friends had been fired and replaced. The reason? He was a white Hispanic, and Rihanna’s artistic team had decided to go for an all-black aesthetic-aside from Rihanna’s steady guitarist, there would be no non-blacks on stage.
Then you are not listening....
These comments kill me haha, if he was that good he wouldn't be a hired gun for Rihanna. Apparently he's not as rich as y'all think. Never saw Jimmy Page or Beck play for a pop queen.
Maybe because he didnt sold his soul.
Fame has less to do with talent nowadays 😈.
I don't even hear a guitar in any of her so vs.
I don't even hear a guitar in any of her songs.
Rihanna should be singing choruses for Extreme instead.
Your crazy, If nuno is soo great how come he can't make a living off his talent with his own band? The truth is that not many people are into the kind of music that nuno writes and plays that's why he can't make a living and has to find a way to support his family. He has the talent and is being paid very well by an artist who is popular enough to generate the wealth to pay him a very good fee. Suck it up and grow up
His bands never made a lot of money so here he is, in the real business.
What a waste.
One of the top rock/metal guitarists, playing for this pop/hip-slop cookie-cutter trash....
I wonder if Nuno synchs his guitar playing on stage, too.
Sad.
