One of the best guitarists walking this Earth, hats off to Nuno!!! I could listen to his solos all day plus he can sing while lighting the strings on fire.
Really enjoyed Nuno telling his story with such excitement and sincerity. We all love and cherish his amazing talents, but I can't help thinking of how proud his family must be. What a great guy.
I've been an Extreme Fan since i was a Kid, but only now in my 40's do i really appreciate a great story teller... That was a really cool story that i didn't even know.
I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Nuno a bit when he was in ft. Lauderdale at the New River Studio's to record a new album with his band Extreme. He was quite unassuming, humble and never had that rock star attitude. He was getting his knee rehabbed at the facility I was working at. Such a great person.
I’ve seen quite a handful of your comments on my posts and I just wanna appreciate those people whose wishes me good and encourages me and my team, I wouldn’t be the man I am today without people like you, God bless you. I hope to bring you so much happiness and joy 🌹❤️
Really a great player and a nice guy. I was lucky enough to meet him and Gary in Phoenix and hang out a little while. I actually took them to What-A-Burger at 1AM! Both were very cool, regular guys.
Nuno is a Riff monster he is so underrated as a guitarist I'd put him up against anyone. The Nuno stands alone. There can be only one..... Nuno Rocks!!!
Hey man ( Nuno would say !! ) , watch "GUITAR WARS "with Nuno, Steve Hackett ( Genesis ) , john Paul Jones ( Led Zeppelin )and Mr.Big 's guitarist. ( i forgot his name )You'll be amazed.It has been recorded in Tokio some years ago and it's reallly fantastic.Bye,
G. Cherone must have had magical sight. he picked Nuno before even seeing him play ... and we all know, he was right all along. one of the best on electric guitar EVER.
Thanks to TH-cam. I constantly have no idea about many famous guys. at first glance you would think they’ve got some kind of attitude but every one of them who made success the old-fashioned way are so down to earth and real humans. Congrats to extreme
A big influence of mine. I remember hearing his stuff and saying “this is the same band that wrote more than words!?” That was after hearing Get The Funk Out.
I remember a few hilarious incidents around that time when non-hardrock people would buy albums based on radio singles and get a hell of a shock when they discovered what the band "usually" sounds like lol. Extreme II as well as Mr. Big's Lean Into It (feat. To Be with You)
I'm from Massachusetts, Nuno is our greatest export. I've been a fan since V66 was on TV. That was our local music video channel in Boston. You've gotta love Nuno, he's incredible.
I once knew Nuno..and I'm still friends with all his cousins, (his cousin Marc mostly). we grew up in the same town on the same street... right across from the old Victory supermarket in Hudson. I swell with pride for him and my humble childhood...the fact that the two are connected STILL blows me away whenever I see anything regarding him online. Massachusetts is the best! Best bands...best hospitals, schools....best sports teams and athletes...just the best~

I look back to those days and man how special the scene was, growing up with so many great dudes in and around Boston. I think Toshi sent me and my buddy Nick down to help you guys, its all a little foggy but you had your name backwards on the club sign, club 3 slumerville. and the club was empty and I was helping your guitar tech the blonde girl. You played more than words to the basicly empty club and then Pat got hungry and Me and Gary, Pat, Paul and Nick had lunch. As we left you were working on your stack up in some little cubby right of the stage. It was great to get some singer talk between me and Gary, I really didn't have many people I could relate too back then being a singer locally in our age group. Nick ended up doing some Lamma work ;) We ended up playing the beach and Manchvegas a lot and had some CBS intrest after we got representation. Man the music world has changed!

@@nunobettencourt3670 Nuno, It's awesome that you are a great musician and a humble man. I'll admit that growing up I only knew 'More than words' cause I was more into hip hop (I was only 11 at the time lol) but now I really appreciate your music. Hope you continue to make great music!
Lucas Penido lol, always think the same thing - either the guy has discovered the true fountain of youth...or is a vampire lol. Only change is he’s now even more awesome 😉

Love his start story. Always liked him, he seems to be a real person. My favorite version of Creep is his at Lucky Strikes. Turkey Jam's vid's are great.
I remember hearing a story about Nuno w/ some other musicians forgot exactly who they all were but on tour together. They'd go out to clubs and they were talking about how quick Nuno was able to pick up the hottest chick in the clubs. After a few nights of this One of them was like dude.. what is your line? what do you say to make that happen? He said, "I just walk up and say hi, I'm Nuno"..
That doesn't surprise me... I've nerver seen a more gorgeous guy than Nuno. Back at that time I think all the girls who crossed his path had to drop like flies around him, that must have been so easy for him to pick whoever he wanted. And maybe that is still. I've been absolutely a fan of this guy for almost 25 years, his multiple talents as an artist are well established, he's a monster, and one of the greatest musician of all times for me. But unfortunately, I'm a girl ... And I wish I was a guy to remain insensitive to his unbearable fucking charisma and beauty. Even today at over 50, he remains just magnificent and so charismatic. Oh shit... 🤦♀️😂

I like Nuno's playing a lot more than Vai ,Satch and the rest because he has that special something that makes him different and more interesting . Same deal with Eddie , despite Steve Vai always being around Dweezil Zappa when he was with Frank, Dweezil was absolutely obsessed with Eddie . Some guitarists have that special something that sets them apart from everybody else .
Great story... I didn't know that about the Nuno and the band. I was always a fan but for me, it was those 90's and me reliving the 90's in the 00's with this band.
I've met Nuno many a time here in the Detroit area and also have had the privilege of checking out the original number 1 "N4". I have a 1992 "Davies" N4 and a 2006 N6 with the decal.
Most underrated rock guitarist alive.
I agree fully.
Not in my house!
Definitely. He's amazing
Underrated ha ha
Naw,, he gets his due respect. Nuno rocks!
One of the best guitarists walking this Earth, hats off to Nuno!!! I could listen to his solos all day plus he can sing while lighting the strings on fire.
Age is just a number. You are beautiful Nuno
Dude got the best of every gene.
Good Lord this dude is talented. He's an excellent story teller on top of everything else.
Love back storys. We all have have at least one but more!!!!!
He's BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Really enjoyed Nuno telling his story with such excitement and sincerity. We all love and cherish his amazing talents, but I can't help thinking of how proud his family must be. What a great guy.

I love this guy. So real.
I absolutely love Nuno Bettencourts playing!
Amazing guitarist, human being with a ❤️ of gold, and PORTUGUESE. Can't be any prouder! ❤️🇵🇹❤️🌹
Lovely, genuine man.

That's a really cool story. Thanks for sharing. I would imagine that they were very cool.
WhatABurger in Phoenix? Myself Being from Texas I thought they were only here.. 🤔🤔
@@ArtGuitarLTX They've been here for years. I eat there too frequently!
Awesome 😎
What a cool story teller Nuno is…has to be one of the most down to earth muscos around, and killer guitarist. Absolute respect ✊
these interviews are great! thank you
I love hearing all these "old" stories. The origin of EXTREME... I've heard him tell this story before, but I never tire of it.
Nuno is a Riff monster he is so underrated as a guitarist I'd put him up against anyone. The Nuno stands alone. There can be only one..... Nuno Rocks!!!

So true. And not only that, he has a great voice. We Portuguese are so proud to say he's one of us. I'm biased, true, but he's amazing
@@elviraf4629 Hes also from Boston. So we both Win.. but Nuno always been badass axeman
@@johnmccarthy7460 Very true! We both win ;)
@@elviraf4629 Rock On!! Elvira
Queen fan here😍❤️
One word...Queen 😁👍🎶❤
Nuno makes it look easy. Cool dude. 🙌☝️✌
One of the things I love about this guy is his great sense of humor. For example, why he shreds: "I get paid by the note."
Some great stories here.....
Fucking incredible and awesome... Not only a great guitarist but a great individual - period...
He is a freaking beast! Listen to Brian may of queen talk about Nuno.
Nuno is a very funny guy...great sense of humor....rock on
seemingly an extremely humble guy,almost too good to be true
What an amazing guitarist and musician and what an amazing story!
G. Cherone must have had magical sight. he picked Nuno before even seeing him play ... and we all know, he was right all along. one of the best on electric guitar EVER.
Thanks to TH-cam.

Meu lindo favorito 😍
I don’t think I could love this interview anymore than I do right now 🎶❤️
Are you german? :)
I look back to those days and man how special the scene was, growing up with so many great dudes in and around Boston. I think Toshi sent me and my buddy Nick down to help you guys, its all a little foggy but you had your name backwards on the club sign, club 3 slumerville. and the club was empty and I was helping your guitar tech the blonde girl. You played more than words to the basicly empty club and then Pat got hungry and Me and Gary, Pat, Paul and Nick had lunch.

This kind of story would make a fantastic biopic
You are the one who can make our Rock scene breathe again....😩

Nuno is a cool dude. Been to his house when he lived in Gloucester years ago .Sweet place by the Ocean
love the sarcasm at the end. HAHAHAHAHA
Love Get Your Wings! Possibly my favorite Aerosmith album next to Rocks.
This is a great interview 👏👏👏
Quoting Step Brothers... DUDE!!! Even more love for Nuno and Extreme!
I wonder what EVH thought of Nuno given he sounds so much like him! He seems to be expanding on V which isn’t easy!
I had a HUGE crush on this guy back in the day
Destiny, man. That story just confirms how mysteriously the universe can work at times!
Love his start story. Always liked him, he seems to be a real person. My favorite version of Creep is his at Lucky Strikes. Turkey Jam's vid's are great.
