All the attention he's gotten lately is well deserved. I never understood why he is relatively under the radar! One of the greats for sure. The solo to rise completely blew my mind away and it's been decades since that happened to that degree! Nuno is amazing!
Timing is everything. After EVH passed, Eddie, the band, and electric guitar started getting a lot of attention from the younger generation, and just people who never listened to rock guitar before. There are reaction videos all over UA-cam of young people trying to figure out what the hype was all about. It opened up a door and a world for people, and put guitar in the limelight. But, there was no current frame of reference. You were hard-pressed to find new music with that type of playing. Then Extreme dropped "Rise," and those who didn't get to experience this kind of playing when it was popular are excited to see it happening now, in their own time. Cheers to all of us who have lived long enough to see the rise, the fall, and the rise again of the "guitar god."
Very good Nuno. No need for 10 more years and the ‘simplexity.’ To form more songs. We’re all vanishing, and could a lot more of your ‘simplexity:’. Please keep it coming, King!
Unbelievable band, I saw them live a month ago and they play/sound amazing and put up a great show. If extreme are playing in your city don’t miss out.
Really enjoyed that interview! I love to hear musicians talk about their music. Nuno has a very strong passion for what he does. The great ones always do. Loved to hear Eddie’s passion, love to hear Vai’s passion…….both greats. Nuno is no different! Oh for us mere mortals to be in that realm for just the length of one song…….
Thank you for the interview. Such a talented artist. He certainly is passionate about his craft. I am happy for his and the entire bands success. Rock needed this album. ❤
Great interview, the whole album was a companion to the loss of my husband after 30 years and us both being fans of Extreme their career but even before we met...
He said: „May, Lukather and Ed“ … he knows exactly what he‘s talking about. When you live truth in a true way, that‘s what you harvest. That‘s the difference between art and artificial. Thanx Nuno ;) 🤍🎸
Great interview, great new album by Extreme! I'm all in for bringing back playing guitar/music with full on everything and EMOTION! Guitar playing where it means something and not just notes being played! Enough of all the fake BS (you've done a million takes on one bit and then mime it!) playing on youtube these days! Peace!
Is so true his message hope the millions of viewers will get this so deep message. Band wow!!! Is all about growing up together ,garage band ,story that happened in home town ,moment on the road ,bad time together ,good time together wow.. ecc ecc… All my respect cheers 🥂
Great interviewing skills, Nick, you are a great listener. Gary is one lucky singer. I entered the giveaway, I am not worthy! But I dog-eared my entry, so hook me up, Sweetwater!
You know what is scary? Nick and Nuno have the same initials. Yikes. I typically order a Pizza for an interview like this. But I already have a Sicilian Pizza in the fridge!! I have to find a cigar to smoke afterwards.
If Extreme released thier debut album 2 years ealier they would have been bigger than Skid Row and would have survived the grunge era. Gary still has killer pipes and the band is insanely tight live. They definitely are successful but they kind of arrived at the end of hair metal which they definitely are not. I bought there albums along with tons of grunge, thrash, death metal, pychadelic music. They all have thier places!
Man i'm getting sick of all this hype around this one solo. It's not even that great, FAAAR from Nunos best, the Get The Funk Out solo is 20 million times more impactful than this, and that's just one example. This solo has one cool part, we all know which part, is it just because we are totally starved of guitar solos that actually have some emotion and aren't just a narcissistic wank piece of tippy tappy soul-less crap, is that why this stands out? Or are people just seriously deluded and have zero memory..? I like this solo, but one solo getting this amount of attention is just insane...

Entered. 👍
Thanks for a great interview. You "Rose" to the occasion fellas! We won't tell Nuno's DR.🤫
Just sitting,and thats it

For some weird reason bands seem to be scared about doing more classic rock stuff. So happy Extreme had the guts to do it and nailed it
Nothing like a modest guitarist telling it like it is! I love Nuno!
Nuno is a beast ! He can play everything with soul and feeling ! And as EVH was, he is a rythmic monster ! 🤘🤘🤘
Great to hear song based music with amazing guitar playing again. Nuno has always been one of the greats, nice to see him getting recognition.

Nuno is the total package. Great songwriter, singer, and, of course, gutarist!
Guitarra, violão, bateria, piano e certamente mais. Gênio que amo. ❤
I've been a huge fan since the early 90s. Love him.
I was supposed to see him in February but sadly my husband's poker debt ruined that for me. I'm heart broken.
So great to see that you keep your feet on the ground, even when you're flying high. Great attitude, great genius. Thank you for this interview Nuno!
YEAH!!! NUNO... bringing the SHRED back into Rock! 😎🤘🎸
1:26 - wow! That is the only copy of 'Guitarist' magazine that I have kept since 1991, just because of the Nuno interview!
Great interview, the whole album was a companion to the loss of my husband after 30 years and us both being fans of Extreme their career but even before we met...
Shining Brilliance !!
He's a great talker, Betty Crocker! His PR is outstanding!
Still a monster rock God after all these decades! Freaking amazing guy.
Great video! Nuno is phenomenal. Just saw Extreme in Tokyo few days ago and was brilliant! Cheers for this.
Nuno is right. That last few bars (Rise) on this video makes shivers go down your spine. AI will never capture that.
Nuno looks like he's feeling quite good 👍🏽
Always love Nuno’s playing and songs, thanks for the interview! It makes me know him better :)
humble, great, Inspiring
Nuno always does engaging authentic interviews and always learn something
I always let my music write itself nuno.
He said: „May, Lukather and Ed“ … he knows exactly what he‘s talking about.
When you live truth in a true way, that‘s what you harvest.
That‘s the difference between art and artificial.
Thanx Nuno ;)
🤍🎸
Beautiful guitar sounds super good, I love it 🥰
Such an guy, and musician!! Glad he is getting the props he deserves 🎉🎸🤘
Extreme is back to Extreme.
The new album is fantastic.
Nuno you’re freekin awesome! Great interview!
THAT LAS WORDS OF NUNO ARE THE BEST
The two best rhythm guitar players of all time are EVH and Nuno.
Great interview. Well done!

Wow that advice ❤
Simplexity. Sounds like a great name for the next album!
Wise words legend.
"I actually prefer the Banshee solo.." - finally somebody significant said it :D
He's a good man...!
Greatest American Hero

Great interview!
Such a cool guy. I'm gonna start closing my eyes wen I talk
Great interviewing skills, Nick, you are a great listener. Gary is one lucky singer. I entered the giveaway, I am not worthy! But I dog-eared my entry, so hook me up, Sweetwater!
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
the best ever
Nuno said it... AI can't displace Rock.
Other Side Of The Rainbow makes me cry.😭
Nuno, you were not racing. You were wearing the Benfica holy Jersey!!!
Nuno's a wonderful human-being and a great guitarist, love him. Let me have his bank details so that I can donate towards some new jeans and shirt. ;)
👏👏👏👏
aika hyvä :D

Nuno ....
It's always been about the song.
AI will go no where. UA-cam still recommends music I hate...I pick my own (but I'm actually willing to listen to something new)!
Nuno always looks like a 4 day coke binge….amazing player
Don’t forget get Randy and Dime Bag and we good you in there
NUNO 1993 called they want there clothes back....😕
Man i'm getting sick of all this hype around this one solo.

You’re right. It really is silly. The guy has had so many insanely good solos. The Rise solo is far from the best solo on the album.
so talented! so desperate to BE....annoying!
"Desperate to BE"? Huh? What do you mean? (I seriously don't get what you're trying to say.) 🤔
Nuno knows life!
Rebel is a benchmark
Rise
