    When I was a kid, these guys used to put on all ages matinee shows at the Living Room in Providence before they got signed. I got to watch these guys from five feet away like every other month for awhile. I was just starting to play in bands and it was the best education you could get. To this day, I can't think of a better live band, and I've seen pretty much everyone.

    Nuno looks like a young Johnny Thunders in the early live show footage.
    Looks like he made an effort to hide behind his hair as much as possible.
    I wonder if he was saving money to get his nose done & knew that they were about to hit
    and didn't want it to be noticeable (totally understandable)
    Somehow I think he would have been just as good-looking, but just in a more ethnic sort of way, more manly profile.
    Either way, good for him & his musicianship is obviously more important.

      Way back in late 80s, literally right between Massachusetts popularity & record company interest & first bunch of press photos & video promotion.
      He's beautiful either way, but gotta say that maybe if it was a little less perfect & they left some of the Bettencourt look to it, he'd be more handsome vs pretty.
      But maybe because he is so little; especially at that time that maybe the nose did overwhelm his face a bit.
      If you look at young videos of his brother Paul, he was a little more beefy, but still small & work like Nuno and the nose was pretty prominent on his small face as well. @@luc1f3rrr_

      I agree, sometimes 2 isn't better than 1, such as in this case.

    Before Aerosmith recorded Walk This Way, in 1954 Ray Charles recorded an R& B song by Memphis Curtis called It Should Have Been Me. It was a rap song. I’m sure there were others before Ray. Rap has been around much longer than we know. Sorry Nuno. Aerosmith wasn’t the first lol
