I'm glad to see Nuno getting some recognition lately! Those of us back in the day knew that Nuno was our next guitar hero but I think grunge happened around the same time and the whole industry changed. Glad to see he and Extreme are back with a vengeance .
Loved watching "Brian May" listening to and talking about the "Get The Funk Out" solo, saying what a work of genius it was and how he wished he could play like that, he wasn't wrong, and what a compliment to Nuno to have such royalty say such a thing! When I think about "Extreme" I always assume that was referenced to Nuno's playing style he is absolutely "extreme" the way he plays!
Brian May is a fantastic player. There’s a good chance Brian can mimic the solo. Just like Brian could have handled the Spanish, maybe Flamenco, guitar work done by Steve Howe in the Queen song Innuendo. All that being said, Brian’s a humble guy and recognizes great players. Nuno is an amazing player. And the genius shows in his playing but what’s better than his playing is conceptualizing of the music. Many guitar players can practice enough to be able to play the piece, but could never come up with piece originally. And that’s why I say Brian May could probably play it. With enough practice. Brian knows genius when he hears it.
@@AaronAbernethy Because a player doesn’t, doesn’t mean he can’t. May has been a player for many decades. We’ve never seen him play fast like Nuno. Ever. But I’m saying is that if May sat around and worked at it long enough, he’d have a good chance he’d pull it off. The genius is not in Nuno’s fingers, it’s in Nuno’s mind. Millions of fast hands that play. Millions. Nuno writes the stuff. That’s what I’m saying. May can figure it out musically. Note for note. That’s the easy part. And in time find enough dexterity to play it. Just the one piece. May would never be Nuno. I’m not trying to say any such thing. May understates his own gifts. But he loves to point out those that do have serious chops. Nuno being one. One above most. Nuno is in a small group of elite shredders that May is not a member of. Nuno is one of my favorite players, ever. Side by side with Steve Vai. It’s ok to have a favorite. Relax.
EXTREME...... THE MOST UNDERATED rock band in 50years.......NUNO has that something special same as JIMI, Jimmy,Alex,Eric,Joe...... I think you get the point ☝️🎸🎸🎸🎸 Guitar God's ALL
I could also add; joe satriani, Ric Emmett, Tony iommi, Rick derringer, Jonny Winter, Randy California, Don Felder, Richie Blackmore......etc etc etc so damn MANY
Paul Gilbert is the master. I'll never forget when I heard the Street Lethal album when it first came out. My jaw hit the floor. And still does to this day with this guy. Nuno is a close second to Paul Gilbert. Two of my all-time favorite shredders. 🤟🎸
I admire the hell outta the guy, he's smart, is humble and pays respect to his elders, i.e. Brian May, has great tone and is melodic, and is severely underrated even though he is a true virtuoso. Guy even looks the part, total package. Life is unfair lol.
I saw an interview with Brian May after he watched a solo from Nuno. He was blown away and said he'd never be able to play like that! Now THAT'S a compliment!
@@EdCollects I'll need to find the video of Extreme at the Freddie Mercury "celebration." They were very good, and I'm not a big fan of Extreme (though I am of Queen).
@@EdCollects it was the "Get The Funk Out" solo and Brian couldn't be more correct that solo like pretty much anything he plays is kinda out worldly! Nuno's an amazing guitar player
Genius. I knew back in 1991 I'd never be able to play like him but still inspired to this day. He stands alone. Extreme were late to the 80s hair metal party and sadly grunge and other rock styles took over. But like fine wine brought out of the cellar you know quality when you taste it!
@@EdCollects cool. I wanted to see them when they came to uk but the dates were midweek or Sunday so couldn't go. Hope I get another chance. Saw nuno with satellite party in 07 but not doing extreme stuff. He did a bit of kid ego which was cool tho
Always thought it's so weird how Nuno's tone is so not pleasing to the ear, but he makes it sound so damn incredible! Anybody else playing with tone would not sound good. INCREDIBLE!
Me playing this solo takes everything I got at the limit and I can barely get by, meanwhile Nuno plays it perfect with a look of boredom that's a piece of cake. I'm looking at him with raving envy and amazement......... and he's far better looking too. Damn HIM!!
I assume everyone here knows this is the tune that gave Nuno his start. This is from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure; Beet Oven in the Mall playing the shyt out of the piano. Oddly, it was Nuno playing this on guitar.
Like I've told other people, I couldn't bring a professional camera into the venue. Just my phone. I wanted to share what I saw that night. That's all. Have a blessed day/night.
#1 his talent is up there with Eddie Van Halen #2 hes incredibly humble #3. Hes freaking hot. #4. Hes the first person in their late 50's that for real looks like hes in his 30's. The dude has barely ages. No fair man... but he seems like a really nice guy so.. good on him
What's more impressive is that he's almost 60 and looks like he's 31!
Nuno MUST BE a vampire. Dude has barely aged
@@Im_Still_LightSpeedLayne Totally! I saw them in 90' and he looks the same.
Yea,he’s Extreme..ly ageless!
Must be that Portuguese blood.
WHAT
Nuno is a vampire. Never seems to age
I know! It's so crazy!
Strength, speed, accuracy, flexibility, and efficiency.
I'm glad to see Nuno getting some recognition lately! Those of us back in the day knew that Nuno was our next guitar hero but I think grunge happened around the same time and the whole industry changed. Glad to see he and Extreme are back with a vengeance .
Yes! I can't wait to hear the new album!
100% nailed it.... great comment!
Yep, the early 90s were not kind to a lot of hard rock and metal bands.
Extreme’s music was always meh. Kind of cheesy, I don’t think the grunge movement was to blame.
We miss Eddie ! Just noise !
His guitar playing is MORE THAN WORDS
that's what happens when gene Simmons does your nails 💅 😜🤪
so is his tattoo..what the f*** is it?
Amazing solo
Yes! He's an awesone guitar player!
That is real virtuoso guitar playing .
Yes, one of the best solos I've seen in person!
And now he pulled one of the most iconic and amazing guitar solos ever, in their new song.
Yes, I love the new solo, it's amazing!

I remember this interview well my friend. I was so happy for Nuno. That moment when Brian took time to really appreciate the solo was amazing.

Now, Sir Brian May 😂
@@brokl26 Brian on his best day has never been as fast as Nuno on his worst.
And he knows that, and that’s ok.

When I first heard this in Bill and Ted I knew I had to learn to play electric guitar…30 years later I’m still at it.
Hahaha... I was already 24 when Bill and Ted hit the theaters. And playing like a maniac since 13 years old. Nuno has always been phenomenal
I was in Middle School when this Excellent movie came our. Shortly after I picked up a guitar.
I was gonna say this is from Bill and Ted 😆, I always thought it was EVH but my hats off to Nuno
Nuno is one of 'the best to ever do it"!
100%
He is one of the most incredible guitarists I've ever seen!
Yes, I agree 100%
Wow ... That's what I call Flawless guitar playing.🏆🏆🏆🏆

@@zelderrr Lifeson.... RUSH
I could also add; joe satriani, Ric Emmett, Tony iommi, Rick derringer, Jonny Winter, Randy California, Don Felder, Richie Blackmore......etc etc etc so damn MANY
@@williamriley9904 So damn many indeed. Steve Vai? Also from the realms of jazz there's Al Di Meola.
nuno is a vampire. he never ages
👊👊🙏
Best Staccato on the Planet!
Definitely
Nah Paul Gilbert owns that title
Check out my review of the Cheap Trick/Extreme concert I recently attended ua-cam.com/video/pBZRVFDAITY/v-deo.html
Awesome
Nuno Bettencourt é simplesmente fantástico!❤🎸🔥
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This some serious rock star skillfulness.
Takes me back!!!
This is the most gorgeous man on the planet. ❤Mad skills as a musician 🎉
Incredible ! put it this way even Brian May cannot figure out how he did the solo in Get the Funk out !!
Yeah I saw that interview, Brian May is a genius and he is impressed with Nuno. That says a lot!
You know you gotta smash that like button when Nuno is tearing it up!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nuno has fully functioning brain synapses.
no its the black finger nail polish
Nuno Love You...💞
The man is phenomenal
One of the best players I've ever seen!
Nuno maravilhoso🥰
Paul Gilbert style right there... And his style also...❤❤❤
Paul Gilbert is the master. I'll never forget when I heard the Street Lethal album when it first came out. My jaw hit the floor. And still does to this day with this guy. Nuno is a close second to Paul Gilbert. Two of my all-time favorite shredders. 🤟🎸
Doooo yoooou, waaaannnaaaa, plaaaay’aaay….. 🤘🤘
I love that song!
Holy shit, they’re touring?? I didn’t know that! Absolutely flawless guitar playing right there….
Hopefully they add more dates!
@@EdCollects too bad you don't have a high volume mic.. but, hey!!!
I appreciate you capturing and sharing the up close solo!! Cheers!! 🍻
@@bubblerings I can only do so much, thanks for watching though.
Nuno kicks ass
@@walterbridges6041 heck yeah he does!
Underrated guitarist , Slash doesn't want this video...
I love Nuno so much🎸🎶🎼🎵💙💜💖💗😍😍💝💚💛🧡❤️❣️💕💓💞😎💣🤘👊👍💯💋💋💋💋💋 he's still single right?
Nunooo❤
Best present day rock guitarist... Rick Beato was just talking about this recently. As far as rock guitarist go Nuno is the new king.
Yeah, that makes sense to me!
Not if Michael Romeo has something to say about it,checkout His playing on His War of the Worlds albums.
Nuno always my ♥️
Unreal!
Makes me wonder what would be goi g in if Nuno and Vito Brata were ruling the guitar world after Eddie’s passing!
You going the best .
Great song ❤
Absolutely love Nuno!! He's aging way better than me. 😍
Well I mean you're a cat, so tough to compare

NUNO FOR EVERRRRR‼️‼️❤️🔥💋
Yes! One of the best on the planet right now!
@@EdCollects lol 😆 sorry I thought I was at one of their gig’s and yelled 🫢hey that man is incredible my friend‼️❤️🔥
Always thought it's so weird how Nuno's tone is so not pleasing to the ear, but he makes it sound so damn incredible! Anybody else playing with tone would not sound good. INCREDIBLE!
Ganda Nuno.
NUNO IS THE BEST
Amen!
The "stop picking. Lick fingers. Keep playing with left hand," thing was prety slick. Like spinning drumsticks in your hand whilest playing.
When will we give this vampire that never ages his roses? He has been up there as a 🎸 God for a long long time!
Sei fantasticooooooo... ❤
Genius musician.
Wow!
My thoughts exactly.
One of my favorite neo classical metal solos of all time.
I've always loved this solo. I never thought I'd see it live.
Well , he knows s he's guitar for sure !! Rock on !!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The man has not aged a day
Yeah, it's unbelievable!
Lovely song 🎉❤🎉
Me playing this solo takes everything I got at the limit and I can barely get by, meanwhile Nuno plays it perfect with a look of boredom that's a piece of cake. I'm looking at him with raving envy and amazement......... and he's far better looking too. Damn HIM!!
Excellent! That solo was most heinous!!!
Wait, I'm confused, does that mean good or bad?
Nuno 🥇
All hail the new King. The only dude that comes close to EVH and extremely underrated. At least he has not reached the success he deserves.
Absolutely!
Nuno the best
Rest In Peace is my favorite song by that band.
NUNO IS AWESOME, THE LEAD SINGER, BARF
To me he has always been a modern day EVH
Yes, he worshipped EVH
That Guitar Solo, alone was worth the Price of Admission !!!
Absolutely! He made it look easy!
I assume everyone here knows this is the tune that gave Nuno his start. This is from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure; Beet Oven in the Mall playing the shyt out of the piano. Oddly, it was Nuno playing this on guitar.
Nuno is great
Absolutely, he's way too talented!
“EXCELLENT!!”….
Yeah I thought so also.
That Washburn has been through hell and back.
One of the most underrated guitars of all time,...except by those who actually played guitar, to most of them he was an icon! 😁
He's my 4th favorite player of all-time!
Word can't describe Nuno. He is just too awesome. Let's your ear enjoy what he plays.
It's not fair for 1 human to have that much talent!
That solo is LITERALLY the soundtrack to my teen years! Ok that and Joes Surfing with the alien!
threatwanking at its best
Knowing THE DREAM and the HUNT brothers as well as I do,I'm not sure how I never met you guys..........
Hammer-on.........................
An incredible G E N I O U S!!!! Nuno is one of the Greatest!!!!
Absolutely! He makes it look easy!
@@EdCollects he's incredible man! Just a few minutes ago i saw the solo in Rise playing alive, absolutely amazing as always!!!
Lindo Nuno
This cat is unreal love the chicken pickin
I've never heard chicken pickin but I like it!
Most impressive is that he did it with all those smashed fingertips on his left hand.
He accidentally burned his hand right before the show, he played anyway.
@@EdCollects it was a joke... because he paints his fingernails black.
@@brucepal3907 I figured, but he really did burn his hand that night.
@@EdCollects Yeah... the guy is simply amazing! Best Regards!
Amoo❤
Did he just yawned? Oh we'll, just another day at work for him I guess!!! 😂 🤣
To me it looked like he was trying to show how easy it was for him.
He always does that during this solo.
Nuno The most Unique guitarist ......
Yes! He's amazing 💪👊👊🤘
Sometimes it’s the simple licks that make the greatest music…
Party on dude!
🤘🤘🤘
This type of videos should be edited the sound of them... For those who don t know Nuno Bettencourt is a portuguese guy like me!!! Yesssss 🤘🤘😎😎🌞😉😃
Like I've told other people, I couldn't bring a professional camera into the venue. Just my phone. I wanted to share what I saw that night. That's all. Have a blessed day/night.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh hell yeah! 🤘🤘🤘
Woww....he's hair literally stood the test of time
👊👊🤘🤘
Love the solo in their new song Rise! Epic solo!
Yes! It's one of the best solos I've heard in years! I can't wait for the new album!
I played a reissue of his axe when I was a teenager and it was truly awesome! 🎸🤘
Nice! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love me some Nuno shredtime!
Yes! Nuno shredding is the best!
GOAT
YES!
Nunooooo speedddddd🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌
He makes it look easy
Yes! He's amazing!
Holy crap. How is hotter now than he was in the 90s!?
He doesn't seem to age at all!!
Talented players make anything look effortless…….lm still trying to learn this solo and make it sound like him.
It's such a great solo. I can't wait to hear their new album they've been working on.
@@EdCollects A new Extreme album? Oh hell yeah🎸🎤🥁🎶🎼🎵🤩😍🤘👊👍😎💣💯!!!!!!!!💙💜🤩😍💗💖💕❣️❤️🧡💛💚💝💞❣️
Monstro.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

He's a freak of nature in a good way!
He s way ahead of EVH in terms of ability.. but it was Ed who paved the way for this type of guitar playing🤘
Just an unreal guitar player. Sounds as good as he did thirty-plus years ago Damn!
Yeah I was blown away! I get to see Extreme again in August.
Maravilhoso 🥰 , amo ❤️❤️❤️
His touch is lighter than a feather it seems, simply effortless
Truly a master of his craft
Right, he makes it look easy but I couldn't do that in a million years!
The guy is a legend.
Absolutely! One of the best guitar players ever in my opinion.
You rock my soul 🎉❤
