Nuno’s love for Ed is the best. And he did NOT disrespect Satchboogie with ANYTHING he said… great interview as always Jeremy! Please have Nuno back on. Cheers - R
Satriani is a phenom and can pretty much play anything on an electric guitar. Thats what happens when you hit the esteemed virtuoso level. He’ll tighten it up - and I thought his performance was epic. If the shoe was on the other foot and Eddie had to play a Satriani track with no rehearsal it’d be exactly the same
I just love this because people are talking about guitar and Eddie, this is good. We all know Joe is amazing and will be fine on the tour. But just that people are talking about this, this is great for guitar, and for rock and roll!
@karlsalocks Idk, it's kinda lame IMO. Not using Eddie's brown sound and playing with his teeth was ridiculous. What really pisses me off is that no one did anything when Eddie passed. The guys a legend, the most ground breaking influential guitarist in decades and he gets nothing. WTF! You would think every rock guitar player who worth anything would be lining up to pay tribute. A benefit concert to honor Eddie and send the proceeds to cancer research or something. It's really pathetic!
Huge props to Joe for doing this!!! I don't care what anyone says, nothing but respect for him for giving it his all....and telling it like it is! Nobody can be Eddie and Joe was the first one to say it! When was the last time you heard anyone talk about these fabulous moments Eddie gave us? Nobody was talking about Mean Street anymore! Now you type E into the UA-cam search bar and Eddie Van Halen Mean Street pops up! Thanks Joe! Thanks for reminding us that all the greats including you are only here once !
Thank you! Eddie was basically writing broadway musicals “each song” - he was profoundly “not a rock player or shredder” - he was just a great musician and composer - it all came out through his guitar - which sounded rock - but his stuff is as rounded and musically creative as Barry Manilow. He was an amazing commercial composer and player. John Williams.
I drove to Buffalo, NY in 2014 to see Extreme for the first time since seeing them in the early 90s. It was over a 5 hour drive for me. I got to the outdoor venue early and I heard the beginning riff to "Mean Street" over the P.A. and I was like, cool, haven't heard Van Halen in a while. I thought it was a recording, but it was Nuno at soundcheck, who played it note-for-note perfectly and then proceeded to shred for the next 5-10 minutes while I got to the front center of the stage. I stayed there for the next 5 or 6 hours until the show ended, Nuno was on fire that night, and I was freaking out so much during his solo in "Play With Me" that he pointed to me and said, that was for you. Unbelievable night.
Nuno is not just an amazing musician and guitar player, a monster. He is honest like no one else. He has that pure spirit and feel with his own music like Eddie had. They are different for sure. For me no all guitarist have that, even though they can play amazingly. It's that kind of wild approach.
NUNO Explain it absolutely on point being a former drummer. I'm so glad that he explained it that way now. I understand why most people can't play like that. Thank you for that great incredible explanation. Very easy to understand now What a great interview thank you guys.
billy squier wrote all of his songs he rarely wrote songs with anyone if ever. the fact he called nuno back in the day to write songs is a huge compliment to nuno
Nuno did a guitar clinic at guitar center in Schaumburg illinois in the early 90s, i remember meeting him and he was the nicest coolest most down to earth dude id ever met. Ferociously amazing guitar player, amazingly cool guy.
A great example of this is Zakk playing Dimes riffs on this Pantera tour. Zakk is awesome but he does not have the same rhythm/DNA/Feel as Dime, No matter how good he is. People complain about it but why? Its something you cannot replicate no matter how good you are, Thats what makes each guitar player so unique.
Nuno is so great at breaking things down this whole interview was epic. He is the nicest rock star I've ever listened to and he's not hiding shit the fact that he didn't throw Satrani under the bus and sorta pointed the finger at Sammy that's straight up honor he didn't talk crap about Sammy he just cleared the air and it's true Joe is Joe he's not EVH. Great Interview Nuno is killer ! 🤟
Nuno is so cool. All of us and him are around the same age and we get what he's saying. From the first time i heard the rythym guitar parts on "Play With Me" caught my ear instantly. Been following him since. Great interview Jeremy👍👍.
Nuno has always something interesting to say, his vision of music is very interesting too. He might not remember this but I believe he played Mean Street live once with Steel Panther if I'm not wrong. He also did a song on drums with them. Well, I've been a fan of him and Extreme since I'm 19 and I'm 49 today, and I'm proud to be one of the fans of this great band for so long 🤘🤘
Will be seeing Extreme in Newcastle UK on Monday. I am one of the "thank you"'s. I have been waiting for the album ,waiting for the tour because Nuno was doing so much collaboration during lockdown..putting the music out to keep people going...I was..h"e's on a massive wave and something huge is coming." I have not looked forward so much to see a band on tour for ages...I saw Extreme in Newcastle 30 years ago...practically the same seats. I am sooo grateful to him for his musicianship, for his reaching out, for Extreme... seeing a real band who do it for the music and for the fans....so grateful and so looking forward to seeing you guys on Monday..thank you Nuno Gary, Pat and Fig
Nuno is one of the best in the world. So is Joe though. Its hard to sound like someone else. My brother can pick up a junk guitar and sound great or a high end guitar and sound great as well. Lots of it is in the fingers.
I wasn’t a “Nuno” fan back in the day. I liked Extreme but I didn’t think much of Nuno. He was passable. NOW, I love this guy. He’s a connection to my past. He’s part of that time in my life that is long gone. A connection to music that isn’t made anymore. AND I can appreciate Nuno’s talent now. It started with RISE and him talking about Eddie. Then the Rick Beato interview. I started looking up his playing. Damn! This guy is good! The first Extreme song and solo I ever heard had a TON of pick noise. That turned off my ears for many decades to his playing. I’m glad he and Extreme are still around and doing well. And that solo was smoking! 🔥 💨
Joe satriani spent his life building a legacy and a career that we would all dream of writing his songs. Playing and teaching and touring around the world for more than 45 years, not like youtube player, he is a BIG BIG BIG name in electric guitar history, if eddie had to play a satriani track even with rehearsal, like if i could fly, that's hard for eddie.
Great interview, love Nuno. Said what I always said.....the trick to the van Halen thing is in the rhythm and the swing. His father was a big influence and a Jazz musician, I think a lot of that feel was born from playing and listening to their father. Loved this interview ❤
Having a memorable iconic solo is rare today. Nuno's recognition of this is important. I always remember him citing Brian May or Elliot Easton as playing great solos. Not shredding, but just great.
What a fucking great interview, Jeremy. Nuno is amazing to listen to. I love his insight and the angles he sees things from. Great respect for him......and the love he has for Edward.....well...that's the love we all have for Edward and have had for Edward since the moment we heard the first note from him.....
Its strange how people got so worked up over the way Joe played the Mean Streets intro. Its not even a riff. Its more of a circus trick thats not meant to be copied. Shit, even Eddie didnt play it the same way twice.
God I love the story of the Van Halen sound guy coming to Nuno asking if the He-Man Woman Hater riff is his, because he’s been hearing on Van Halen soundcheck.. WOW
Joe is brilliant. Hes gonna kill it , in his own way & Eddie would get a kick out of it. Id love to see Wolf as a guest on this tour. Joe , you have beach balls, go out there & kick ass ! Ill be there .
Joe did fine, you could see his hands were shaking. All of us players have asked to make a stretch. Good to know even the mighty Satriani needs time in the woodshed. It's really hard to get your hands around someone else's chops. As for Nuno looking forward to the Extreme gig next Tuesday in Glasgow. Can't wait!
I admire Nuno and his abilities on guitar. But if you haven’t heard Jacob Deraps UA-cam channel Van Halen attempts you need to check him out. He nails most of Ed’s parts.
@@BedroomStudioGuy223 Deraps in my opinion along with Dweezil Zappa and Wolfie are good enough playing EVH to do it in a real and meaningful way. Something tells me each of them spent more time in the past year playing Eddie stuff than Satriani has done his entire life. And none of them will ever be as accomplished as Satriani. Nobody would tell LeBron he isn't worthy of legend status if he can't dunk from the FT line like MJ did right?
I very much appreciate Nuno's comments on how a lot of people (bands & fans) thanked him. We do need more of this type of music around. As a 65 year old, I can definitely say that hearing "Six" is something I've really missed. In the late 70's & 80's there were several bands that satisfied my musical appetite, but music today has changed to suit the masses. However, it's refreshing to note that not only older folks such as myself are excited by "Six", but also a much younger generation. I guess age makes no difference. It's just in your blood.....
Iit's just simple,thawhat and why rock and roll rocks our soul, it's honest, ipure,...it's ROCK AND ROLL!!! Thanks Nuno for keeping the meaning alive,and still having the conscience to be old- school and care about the actual work you present to us, your fans in the audience!!! Keep up the good work !!!
Well, it took a shitload of years i guess to understand what i knew then. Went to see Nuno in Atlanta on his solo tour for schitzo. I got really lucky and met a chick who knew him and walked me back to his room after the show. She knocked on the door, he answered. I said F'n Finally. He was like Whaaaaat? And i explained next to Eddie he was my other favorite guitarist. He invited myself and my wife at the time in. Offers me a beer and even opened it for me. My wife didn't drink but, he offered her a coke.There were 2 other people in the room but, they were friends of his. He didn't rush me and just sat and chilled and talked to me for at least an hour. In fact i had 3 beers. Haha. Nunos chill af. At that point I'd been playing almost 9 years. Got some excellent pointers and inside tips that helped myself Greatly. But, thru all that. It was just Awesome to sit with him and he talked to me like a bro. Which in hindsight, I wasn't supposed to be at that show. Got lucky cause i live in Alabama and work nights and was off the night of the show. I usually dress the rock and roll guitarist look but, i had on some weird shirt and shorts and like some dumbass fishermans lookin hat. Haha. So when we got done, he took a couple pics and handed me an extra beer for the road. He's very humble but, he knows he's a badass but, doesn't shit on us lesser players. IMO. Great Interview. Congrats.
I love what Nuno says about the tubes and fingers relationship. The stuff that goes on in a vacuum tube is alive. Organic. Living electrons inside of a sealed glass jar slamming into each other at the speed of light set in motion by megawatts of electricicle (yes, I said electricicle) magic. You can't get that from a static printed circuit.
Great explanation from Nuno on Eddie and Joe. I saw all the clips with Stern and Joe and I enjoyed them all! Joe was damn close to Eddie but still put his take on it a little. If you love the music and a great guitarist then why would you be critical? For hardly practicing they created magic together and it was great! @ 23:54 that was cool that Eddie listened to Nuno! 3 sides was a great CD!
Nuno was spot on with what he said. I'm starting to think that maybe Sammy kinda threw Joe under the bus on that performance. Sammy was talking Joe up and I don't think Joe was ever planning on performing that during the interview. You can see it in his body language when Sammy pushed him to do it. He was uncomfortable.
also, do not forget, his jem 1988 floral pattern guitar is considered the best guitar ever made designed by him. and i agree. thats a monster guitar that can play anything.
I grew up with nuno. I think what he’s saying is the world might be starving for not too insanely complicated emotional Rock and roll guitar rock music. I’m a vet and it was great to hear him throw props to 5 finger death punch
I am saying Joe was goofing and being respectful . He is just learning them ……. Joe is a consummate professional and supreme music theory guru with every chop down !!! He can intellectually go over every style and progression. Yes Eddie is the truest original artist !!! Joe will be there
Jeremy, you’re top shelf! Love the interview, and I never ever liked Nuno…until now! Thank you. You truly are a great interviewer, your style is great. The guests and questions are top notch! Thank you again! VH forever!
This was an amazing interview! Nuno had some great insight into EVH’s guitar playing. His explanation makes a lot of sense that Eddie was a drummer first and he used his fingers like he was playing percussion on the guitar. Also, agreed that Joe deserves a pass. Sammy admitted they hadn’t rehearsed. I love Sammy, but I agree that he did put Joe on the spot on Howard Stern. Joe hasn’t boasted about being able to play EVH music. In fact, in another recent interview, Joe said Alex Van Halen had called him some time ago and asked if he wanted to tour with Van Halen playing Eddie’s part. He turned the offer down because he wasn’t confident about playing EVH’s music. Fantastic interview! Would love to hear more from Nuno❤
No need to respond but your show is really going to the heart of a lot of the high quality music, musicianship and culture that came from the era before the recent decline. All the best as you keep up the good work.@@JeremyWhiteShow
Nuno is one of the only guitarists who plays with the biggest hip hop singers on tour and can play jazz, rock, metal as good or better than any other guitarists. I love the way Nuno always calls Eddie VanHalen Edward because he has so much respect for him
I went and listened to the Pat Travers album Nuno referenced and says has been a big influence on him and you can really hear that in his playing. Crazy!
What a REFRESHING interview! Agree with Nuno on the human connection with the tube amp, how each guitarist has their own playing dna and how ai is gonna push RR to another level of AWESOME! Great Job Jeremy and TY Nuno for staying real!
Im more of a singer/production guy and a guitar hack but my one guitarist has many nice tube amps in his arsenal and honestly it doesnt get better than JCM 800 & 2000 for our recording and live endeavors. The funny thing is I bought a kemper and after Tim borrowed a few days he had to have one!!😂 The convenience is amazing and the profiles are quite real!! I have not put my hands on a Quad but the guy I bought my Kemper from funded his Quad with my funds for his Kemper. Lol!! Its like 2in Analog tape, “forgiving on signal and just pleasant on the ear!” Thanks for the great work and relaxing interview! I need to watch more music based videos like yours but today it seems im drawn to the things I never thought could happen! I will definitely be watching more of your videos soon!! Happy Thanksgiving and Thanks Again to both of you guys!
love that Nuno can coherently explain EVH.. says a lot about him. also like that he thinks as much about Sammy as I do.. He can say all he wants but you can tell he think’s Sammy is a waste of breath… lol anyway, like I was about to say Nuno can coherently explain EVH, “Edward’s pocket, rhythm, feel, swing is what separates him from everyone.. I’m The One.. that percussive, rhythmic, crazy, mental approach to guitar that Edward had.. wanna play it, that thing? good luck.. He’s the guy. No one’s gonna take the Edward thrown.. brown sound all day..” 😂 Nuno knows
I met Nuno right before more than words broke big and I was trying to tell everyone how good he is. He is definitely one of the best guitarist alive today I’m glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. His rhythm and groove is better than anyone
Nuno is one of my favorite living guitarist. Ive never heard anyone talk about how eddie was a drummer first and played some guitar parts like a drum....that is so true. I never thought about it before. I am going to see Extreme/living colour in nashville in march and hopefully my 18 year old son will go to so he can experience these 2 bands. One thing while watching these inverview....I notice how nuno looks like he is squinting most of the time. Is there something wrong with his eyes? He looks like hes either really high, or very, very sleepy....but he is great, and this interview is great.
I just LOVE Nuno!! He's the shit! Yes RISE!!! Much respect for him and his explaining Mean Street intro. Drums! Thanks guys! Totes dig this interview! 🤘
Nuno such a great dude man. Awesome interview. When you let us hear cupid's dead. I knew at that point you were a bad ass.. lol... I would've liked to hear EVH try and play that.. haha..
I remember when I first heard Extreme in 88 (being 15 years old) Just how Jacked up I was...!! That first album was sensory overload. Nuno has always delivered the goods. This new album is simply "Amazeballz" I'm excited about lead guitar again..
"Solo of the century"? That solo blew my mind!!! BUT... now that time has passed, I really don't think it's his best. "Get The Funk Out" was the solo of the century perhaps... that tapping sequence alone broke the Internet. As for Joe...his interpretation of EVH is a welcome treat. Joe was trying to play Mean Streets... he was just showing that it is a difficult thing to play. It's not like he'd been sitting down trying to learn it for months. It's like Wayne Gretzky doing a charity basketball game with NBA players and showing that it is hard to make a 3-ball and everyone coming down on him for not being able dribble well, and people saying that he should be able to dribble well because he's a pro athlete. That's how silly all this uproar is. JS is one of the greatest players in our lifetime!
13:45 was this a reference to the Music Man Guitar jam that Eddie played with Albert Lee and Steve Morse? I remember that Musician mag issue cover from 1991
Nuno’s admiration for Eddie is awesome.
RIP EVH
👑
🎸
Hell yeah!
Nuno’s love for Ed is the best. And he did NOT disrespect Satchboogie with ANYTHING he said… great interview as always Jeremy! Please have Nuno back on. Cheers - R
Agreed, he was spot on! Great interview Jeremy 🎉
Love Nuno and Joe. It’s not disrespect stating the truth though and Joe butchered it bad.
he confirmed Joe is a B leaguer
Thank you!!
Well, Joe Satriani replace Blackmore and if it sounds good nobody cares, not the audience in the concert and not to the band members
You do, and get, the best interviews. No doubt! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks bud!!
Satriani is a phenom and can pretty much play anything on an electric guitar. Thats what happens when you hit the esteemed virtuoso level. He’ll tighten it up - and I thought his performance was epic. If the shoe was on the other foot and Eddie had to play a Satriani track with no rehearsal it’d be exactly the same
He doesn't need to tighten it up - they won't be playing Mean Streets on tour.
I could picture Van Halen doing his own take on Ice 9.
Satriani was always boring and a goofball. he was never anybody.
@spiritsplice
Lol He was pretty big in the late 80's/early 90's. And I definitely prefer him to Steve Vai.
@@spiritsplice Have you listened to any of his stuff?
VH fan here.
Fantastic interview.
Nuno is a class act and a great musician.
Satriani is a legend.
Thank you Jeremy.
RIP EVH.
Thank you!!
I just love this because people are talking about guitar and Eddie, this is good. We all know Joe is amazing and will be fine on the tour. But just that people are talking about this, this is great for guitar, and for rock and roll!
Joe hadn't ever played those tunes until recently. The tour is in the summer. He's going to sound great, like the TRIBUTE the tour is meant to be.
We dont know he hasnt played them. Its VAn Halen, thats like a guitar player never trying a zeppelin song ..... or a VH song lol.
@@97warlock Did you see the video? Joe just started learning the songs and they hadn't rehearsed much. They talked about it in the video.

Your right, there's no doubt he'll have it down....
That tour is a tribute to Sammy..don't be fooled

I got really lucky and met a chick who knew him and walked me back to his room after the show. She knocked on the door, he answered. I said F'n Finally. He was like Whaaaaat? And i explained next to Eddie he was my other favorite guitarist. He invited myself and my wife at the time in. Offers me a beer and even opened it for me. My wife didn't drink but, he offered her a coke.There were 2 other people in the room but, they were friends of his. He didn't rush me and just sat and chilled and talked to me for at least an hour. In fact i had 3 beers. Haha. Nunos chill af. At that point I'd been playing almost 9 years. Got some excellent pointers and inside tips that helped myself Greatly. But, thru all that. It was just Awesome to sit with him and he talked to me like a bro. Which in hindsight, I wasn't supposed to be at that show. Got lucky cause i live in Alabama and work nights and was off the night of the show. I usually dress the rock and roll guitarist look but, i had on some weird shirt and shorts and like some dumbass fishermans lookin hat. Haha. So when we got done, he took a couple pics and handed me an extra beer for the road. He's very humble but, he knows he's a badass but, doesn't shit on us lesser players. IMO. Great Interview. Congrats.
I love what Nuno says about the tubes and fingers relationship. The stuff that goes on in a vacuum tube is alive. Organic. Living electrons inside of a sealed glass jar slamming into each other at the speed of light set in motion by megawatts of electricicle (yes, I said electricicle) magic. You can't get that from a static printed circuit.
Great interview!!!!
Love the interview and Nuno is one of my favorite guitarists since their debut album... but he is stoned out of his mind. 😂
Great explanation from Nuno on Eddie and Joe. I saw all the clips with Stern and Joe and I enjoyed them all! Joe was damn close to Eddie but still put his take on it a little. If you love the music and a great guitarist then why would you be critical? For hardly practicing they created magic together and it was great! @ 23:54 that was cool that Eddie listened to Nuno! 3 sides was a great CD!
Awesome stuff. Nuno was a big influence on my guitar playing back in the early 90’s. 🤘🏻
Nuno was spot on with what he said. I'm starting to think that maybe Sammy kinda threw Joe under the bus on that performance. Sammy was talking Joe up and I don't think Joe was ever planning on performing that during the interview. You can see it in his body language when Sammy pushed him to do it. He was uncomfortable.
Naw it was mostly Howard being Howard. He wasn't even trying to put satch on the spot, he's just a fan wanting to hear some of his favorite songs lol.
❤Eddie, Nuno and Joe! 🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥
dont forget steve vai brother, hes the "italian virtuoso' as frank zappa called him. hes a technical master!
also, do not forget, his jem 1988 floral pattern guitar is considered the best guitar ever made designed by him. and i agree. thats a monster guitar that can play anything.
That was brilliant...thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love you Nuno
Thank you for your playing you are amazing and appreciate giving love to Eddie
I'm just praying there's a follow up to Six, because I might not make it another 15 years! Great album.
It’s a must!! We need it!
I grew up with nuno. I think what he’s saying is the world might be starving for not too insanely complicated emotional Rock and roll guitar rock music. I’m a vet and it was great to hear him throw props to 5 finger death punch
I am saying Joe was goofing and being respectful . He is just learning them ……. Joe is a consummate professional and supreme music theory guru with every chop down !!! He can intellectually go over every style and progression. Yes Eddie is the truest original artist !!! Joe will be there
Jeremy, you’re top shelf! Love the interview, and I never ever liked Nuno…until now! Thank you. You truly are a great interviewer, your style is great. The guests and questions are top notch! Thank you again! VH forever!
Wow!! Thank you so much. That means a lot 🤘🏻🤘🏻
To me, Nuno is carrying on that feel like Eddie Van Halen. Love his music & playing. Edward is still the king!
I try to catch every interview with Nuno… this one I liked very much!
Thank you!!
This was an amazing interview! Nuno had some great insight into EVH’s guitar playing. His explanation makes a lot of sense that Eddie was a drummer first and he used his fingers like he was playing percussion on the guitar. Also, agreed that Joe deserves a pass. Sammy admitted they hadn’t rehearsed. I love Sammy, but I agree that he did put Joe on the spot on Howard Stern. Joe hasn’t boasted about being able to play EVH music. In fact, in another recent interview, Joe said Alex Van Halen had called him some time ago and asked if he wanted to tour with Van Halen playing Eddie’s part. He turned the offer down because he wasn’t confident about playing EVH’s music. Fantastic interview! Would love to hear more from Nuno❤
EVH was a pianist before he played drums. A lot of his tapping licks were piano-esque.
@@armynurseboy Interesting!
Great interview. Nuno you figured it out a long time ago...
Have loved Nuno and his playing since I heard their first album!!! So cool!!!👍😊
Thanks for tis interview, great insight of Nuno's thoughts
Thanks. Nuno has the best interviews. The new album is incredible 🤟
Love Nuno’s honesty 🤘🏻🤘🏻
EVH...often imitated.....never duplicated.
Nuno really gets the why of his success. It’s about him but also about ROCK!
Great interview. Thanks guys.
Thanks for listening 🤘🏻
No need to respond but your show is really going to the heart of a lot of the high quality music, musicianship and culture that came from the era before the recent decline. All the best as you keep up the good work.@@JeremyWhiteShow
Nuno is one of the only guitarists who plays with the biggest hip hop singers on tour and can play jazz, rock, metal as good or better than any other guitarists. I love the way Nuno always calls Eddie VanHalen Edward because he has so much respect for him
Nuno is awesome!!
I love Joe but I would LOVE to see Nuno playing on that tour. At least do a couple songs.
I went and listened to the Pat Travers album Nuno referenced and says has been a big influence on him and you can really hear that in his playing. Crazy!
What was the album again? I gotta listen!
He’s one of Paul Gilberts biggest influences too.
What a REFRESHING interview! Agree with Nuno on the human connection with the tube amp, how each guitarist has their own playing dna and how ai is gonna push RR to another level of AWESOME! Great Job Jeremy and TY Nuno for staying real!
I have every 5150 amp but I feel awful plugging into my Quad Cortex cause it just sounds so good 😂
Im more of a singer/production guy and a guitar hack but my one guitarist has many nice tube amps in his arsenal and honestly it doesnt get better than JCM 800 & 2000 for our recording and live endeavors.
The funny thing is I bought a kemper and after Tim borrowed a few days he had to have one!!😂 The convenience is amazing and the profiles are quite real!! I have not put my hands on a Quad but the guy I bought my Kemper from funded his Quad with my funds for his Kemper. Lol!!
Its like 2in Analog tape, “forgiving on signal and just pleasant on the ear!”
Thanks for the great work and relaxing interview! I need to watch more music based videos like yours but today it seems im drawn to the things I never thought could happen!
I will definitely be watching more of your videos soon!!
Happy Thanksgiving and Thanks Again to both of you guys!
Sir Nuno's been tearing it up since the debut album. the Crybaby solo, Flight of the Bumblebee...etc.
Yuuupppp!
love that Nuno can coherently explain EVH.. says a lot about him. also like that he thinks as much about Sammy as I do.. He can say all he wants but you can tell he think’s Sammy is a waste of breath… lol
anyway, like I was about to say Nuno can coherently explain EVH, “Edward’s pocket, rhythm, feel, swing is what separates him from everyone.. I’m The One.. that percussive, rhythmic, crazy, mental approach to guitar that Edward had.. wanna play it, that thing? good luck.. He’s the guy. No one’s gonna take the Edward thrown.. brown sound all day..” 😂 Nuno knows
I met Nuno right before more than words broke big and I was trying to tell everyone how good he is. He is definitely one of the best guitarist alive today I’m glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. His rhythm and groove is better than anyone
Nuno nailed his description of Eddie
Agreed!!
Nuno is one of my favorite living guitarist. Ive never heard anyone talk about how eddie was a drummer first and played some guitar parts like a drum....that is so true. I never thought about it before. I am going to see Extreme/living colour in nashville in march and hopefully my 18 year old son will go to so he can experience these 2 bands. One thing while watching these inverview....I notice how nuno looks like he is squinting most of the time. Is there something wrong with his eyes? He looks like hes either really high, or very, very sleepy....but he is great, and this interview is great.
Love Extreme Six!!! It is really cool!!! Eddie is missed and I love Joe, Vai, Nuno, Eric Johnson. .... Guitar is still in GREAT hands!!!
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻
I was hoping Satch would make G3 an Eddie tribute and go out with Nuno, Phil X and play a ton of VH.
Add Satchel to make it G4
+ Pete Thorn for G5
I just LOVE Nuno!! He's the shit! Yes RISE!!! Much respect for him and his explaining Mean Street intro. Drums! Thanks guys! Totes dig this interview! 🤘
Thank you!!
Nuno such a great dude man. Awesome interview. When you let us hear cupid's dead. I knew at that point you were a bad ass.. lol... I would've liked to hear EVH try and play that.. haha..
I think had Hagar enlisted Vai instead of Satriani for this whole Van Halen thing, he would had pulled it off 100 percent. He did it before.
I was there at that show he was talking about opening up with Breed. Turkey Jam. One of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen.
The Hagar thing is just Chickenfoot playing Van Halen songs. Listen to EVH Playing mean street on the live without a net, just amazing.
I remember when I first heard Extreme in 88 (being 15 years old) Just how Jacked up I was...!! That first album was sensory overload. Nuno has always delivered the goods. This new album is simply "Amazeballz" I'm excited about lead guitar again..
It wasnt just one song or solo, finally recognized for good music and careers.
"Solo of the century"? That solo blew my mind!!! BUT... now that time has passed, I really don't think it's his best. "Get The Funk Out" was the solo of the century perhaps... that tapping sequence alone broke the Internet.
As for Joe...his interpretation of EVH is a welcome treat.
Joe was trying to play Mean Streets... he was just showing that it is a difficult thing to play. It's not like he'd been sitting down trying to learn it for months. It's like Wayne Gretzky doing a charity basketball game with NBA players and showing that it is hard to make a 3-ball and everyone coming down on him for not being able dribble well, and people saying that he should be able to dribble well because he's a pro athlete. That's how silly all this uproar is. JS is one of the greatest players in our lifetime!
Hell Yeah Brother when I seen the name of your show I knew it was gonna be some killer💨
13:45 was this a reference to the Music Man Guitar jam that Eddie played with Albert Lee and Steve Morse? I remember that Musician mag issue cover from 1991
What Nuno said about Satch playing Eddie, the whole speech and the idea behind it, is the reason why he is an amazing musician: he gets it.
30:10 this is incredible, I receive chunks of music while recording too, but not yet as complete as that.
It was weird seeing that rise solo blow up cuz that part everybody freaked about, he’s done that sound before 30+ years ago on Lil Jack Horny.
peacemaker die 1992
That interview which Sammy was interviewed with Ed .....Was it a cover issue in Guitar Player magazine interview in 1987 ?
Great interview! They're from my hometown in MA - have been a fan since the MTV basement tapes days. I'm old. 😀
Nuno is just an amazing monster guitar player !! And. A great human been !!!respect to him !!🎉🎉🎉
