Nuno is my favourite player. No disrespect to many excellent shredders, but everything Nuno plays is integral to the song. He's not just showcasing lightening sweep picking arpeggios. That's what makes him a truly great guitar player ...
@@rogerdat7807 didn't look like a pick slide to me, he was tapping, and he's using a flanger. I watched it a few times, you can audibly hear when he makes tiny mistakes, accidental mutes, etc. I'm not going to question you obviously know your way around a guitar, and have some amazing gear. But, I really don't see him faking this performance at all. Watch the solo.
The amount of rhythm skills this dude has is incredible. No wonder he's a Van Halen disciple. Rhythm guitar is my favorite part of Van Halen and Nuno Bettencourt has managed to digest all the lessons from him. A class act for sure, top world guitar player, been like that for more than ' 30 years, unbelievable to stay at this level so long.
@@DushtYantr You’re not wrong at all. Van Halen was nothing but flash and cover tunes. Suckers fell for the flash. Eric Clapton called EVH an amateur 😂. EVH playing the blues by tapping 😂😂
Plays rythym and lead at the very same time. We are approaching Randy Rhodes level of fame yes if this keeps up.... Imortal status right around the corner!
Yeah, he actually injured his knee on the 2023 Monsters of Rock Cruise during their Rocker vs Joes basketball game! It actually happened a day before our interview that we did with him. I was shocked that he was able to make it and it was a complete honor to have him. Nothing but mad respect for Nuno. He’s a class act 👏🙌🎸 Here’s that interview incase you’d ever want to check it out 👇🎸🎸 ua-cam.com/video/7GZ6gsYCNQc/v-deo.htmlsi=u7nFdrd-4P_lyiCn
@@Tim091 It seems to be longer his knee brace. He is draging the leg s little. I don’t remember him doing that last year. Let’s hope it will heal soon. ☺️
Nuno has a torn ACL and meniscus. He passed on surgery at the time of the injury because it would be a 6 to 8 month recovery time, forcing the cancellation of all of the touring supporting the latest album. Probable that he will have to eventually have it surgically repaired. What a trooper! 💪🏼🤟🏼
@@rogerdat7807 yea, I saw that too….however, it looks like he stepped on a flanger pedal that might have made that sound….I’m not sure…check it out again…
I wasn't a fan when I was younger. Actually, I gave my Pornograffitti CD to my father cause I didn't really like it, didn't like the production and some aspects of it, too many syrupy ballads for my taste at the time. But one thing is for sure, respect must be given where respect is due, the guys are extremely talented mofos! Now, I've rebought Extreme II and also the III which is really good ad underrated, imo.
@@stiffmeister0hYeah Yes, maybe. I lsitened to lots a varied music genres, though. Extreme had everything I should have loved in their music, but not done the way I wanted to at the time. It was watching a YT video of Nuno and his friends doing covers live, a few years ago, that made me think: "damn! He's really good, maybe I should give Extreme another try".
@@Maria-n6t2d I've never seen them with Richie. I should check that on YT. Cause he's another extremely talented guy, in addition to being handsome. 🤣🤣
I watched from 2:32 to 2:49 several times. The fingering hand as well as the picking hand, does not look right to me during this part of the solo. The audio of the drums during this part are right in time with the video. Oh yeah, Nuno is a monster.
@user-vr5wd4et8o uhh no he is not joking. Gone are the days when bands played all parts of songs live. Why? Because it's easier and cheaper don't have to have another guitarist
Open your eyes, same sound at 3:00 and 4:17 when you clearly see him hitting the pedal. Next time you want to bash someone maybe you should make sure you know what you're talking about.
One of the best guitar sounds in the business.

Nuno Bettencourt what a great guitarist, amazing🎉🎉🎉
Nuno is a BEAST of a guitar player!
Watch his hands very closely at 5:24 for the missing pick slide. LIVE FRAUD 😂

And like Van Halen, the songs are meaningless/emotionless.
@@DushtYantrYet you’re here and negative. Let’s hear you?
@@DushtYantrlisten to 3sides 3rd album and tell me there’s no emotion in they’re music . It’s one of the greatest albums ever made !!!!
Bettencourt's right hand alone deserves its own separate induction to the RRHOF. Perfect time and groove.

Nuno never fails and Gary sounding better than he has in years. Great to hear
great solo from one of best thanks
I just saw them. Mind blowing!
Such a balls to the wall player.
Nuno the besttttt 🎉
Great tone! Thanks for the free lesson Nuno!
-It's- *He's* a Monster !
we just can't stop watch him
Thanks for this Derek you really put your heart into shred!
Great video!
Nuno is completely entertaining and is a monster
Saw them in Montreal late Sept. and they crushed it.👍👍👍
The master at work!! 🤘🤘
I know NuNo hates to hear this but he has kind of steped in for Eddie with his crazy licks and keeping shredding alive
Goat material
Excellent tune. Nino is so freakin good.
It’s Nuno 😊
smoother and smoother
Plays rythym and lead at the very same time. We are approaching Randy Rhodes level of fame yes if this keeps up.... Imortal status right around the corner!
Nuno must’ve tweaked his knee real good. I noticed he’s still wearing the brace. Still kicking ass though 🤘😎🤘

I bet they could smell each others breath 🥹
Dude sings amazingly and fucking rips.
Do they actually amplify all those 4x12 cabinets? Nuno is just amazing.
No, most aren’t used
@@rogerdat7807 yea, I saw that too….however, it looks like he stepped on a flanger pedal that might have made that sound….I’m not sure…check it out again…
I suspect no. You'd be surprised how quiet it is on stage. Usually these guys can talk to each other on stage. Stage sound very low
Is that the New Material?
Lol
Bass solo at 2:03 stole the show IMO
Did you buy that custom walnut n4?
Since it is the "signature" model from Washburn I very much doubt he has to pay for them!
@@Tim091 my question is for the host of the channel, the mr shred guy, not nuno.
Empty People - “Spipnik”
Second coming of EVH
I dig Nuno but that music just doesn’t move me sounds well like so many other bands
Top of his game this fella, he’s not even looking at his fretboard most of the time

I was a bit of the same. Maybe because it was a bit different than the norm at that time?
Same! I have come to really like them through Richie Kotzen playing with them, and others.
@@stiffmeister0hYeah Yes, maybe. I lsitened to lots a varied music genres, though. Extreme had everything I should have loved in their music, but not done the way I wanted to at the time.

3 sides to every story. Incredible work.
I really enjoy NUNO, the band is fun but to me it was just a vehicle to listen to his guitar wizardry.
lots of compression in nuno's rig
Watch his hands very closely at 5:24 for the missing pick slide. LIVE FRAUD 😂
Gary's sounding great too
There's four words I don't think I've ever read together before...

Either you don't know what he's doing or you need some glasses
Least aging rock star ever, wtf.

You are joking I assume?
Yep awesome catch. They definitely have backing tracks running. Ytm
@user-vr5wd4et8o uhh no he is not joking. Gone are the days when bands played all parts of songs live. Why? Because it's easier and cheaper don't have to have another guitarist
It's him stepping on his phaser pedal you morons
Open your eyes, same sound at 3:00 and 4:17 when you clearly see him hitting the pedal. Next time you want to bash someone maybe you should make sure you know what you're talking about.
His rhythm tone sounds "dead" for some reason. I'd love to hear him with a wet/dry/wet set-up with 5150s and a touch of delay and pitch shift.
I think it is this recording. His rhythm tone usually has much more mid-range bite. Agreed here it sounds muddy.
Watch his hands very closely at 5:24 for the missing pick slide. LIVE FRAUD 😂
@@rogerdat7807 I think he turns his flanger pedal on... that sounds like a pick scrape.
@@rogerdat7807it’s a flange pedal
When front of house ruins the mix...
Good guitar player….songs suck…
No wonder they worship Van Halen.
Singer is mediocre too.
Watch his hands very closely at 5:24 for the missing pick slide. LIVE FRAUD 😂
Not impressed. Crappy song to the extreme lol😂
Thanks for coming.
They neeeeed a new singer. He sound like an old man
rock n' roll
