    Right on. Angus has a good sense of humor about it. I heard him once say "It makes me really mad when I hear people say we made 12 albums that all sound exactly the same. We made 13 albums that all sound exactly the same!".

    I have long been a fan of Nuno's music, but this is actually the first time I've heard him speak. What a fascinating and engaging personality. Rick didn't have to say a word in that interview. That was awesome!

      It's rare that the majority of mankind gets to know the actual *artist*. Instead, they know (or might not know) the ART. And one isn't necessarily an exact Reflection of the other.
      Even with myself... I am NOT my characters nor am I solely "the guy doing tutorials and fun stuff" in my videos. Even my interviews are merely shades of me, not 100% of my outlook on life, art, the universe, humanity, etc.

    Wise guy Nuno - been really cool to watch your growth over the decades! He has gratitude for the girfts in life he received - he never does the, "Extreme should have been bigger!" He knows their work has great value & any opportunity is something to be grateful for. Hence, he's still a passionate great guy!

    I always thought CC DeVille was great. The rhythms of the songs were easy but also a lot of fun. His solo's also fun, full of energy, and you can sing along with them. CC DeVille is a great guitar player.

      My first concert was Poison, and Warrant opened for them. It was the first "greatest day of my life" feeling and I'll never forget it. It was a hell of a good time because Poison was up on stage having a hell of a good time and I got to join in for those two hours. CC was a riot. He was dynamic, frenetic, ran around the stage like crazy, climbed the scaffolding... every time you looked for him he popped up somewhere else. As a teenager I was blown away. Poison was "good time" music and they were fantastic at it. There's a reason they are one of the top grossing bands of all time. If you can't be happy at a Poison show, you're just a miserable wreck of a human.

    It has been my experience that there are two things ìn life that you cannot fake - `passion and `genuine`(because people see through it in a heartbeat).
    Nuno is both passionate and genuine.

    I'm not familiar with his guitar work, but would would gladly listen to him talk about music. Any music. For multiple hours.
    In fact, I watched the entirety of the original interview two times.
    It's like he says - it's all about passion. When somebody is THIS passionate about something people are drawn to it, it's irresistible

    More than words is what brought me awareness of Extreme back when it was released, and I have been a total fan of all there albums and many of their songs ever since. Great musicianship, awesome creativity, combined with a unique style are all that I love about those guys. I only wish I could catch a live performance somewhen, but where I live in the woods of interior Alaska that’s not a likely occurrence anytime soon.
