One of the baddest ass guitarists EVER. He deserves so much more recognition it’s ridiculous.

Nuno strikes me as a guy who goes into the studio, records 2 passes of a song and the engineers are like, "Thanks Nuno, we have everything we need". The guy is SO ridiculously talented. His groove, timing, style, control.....Incredible.
I have a producer friend who works with Nuno, and I'm sure he agrees.

You, sir are incorrect. He's the real deal. I just watched him on Life in Six Strings with Kylie Olsson. Music is in his DNA. 10 siblings all musicians growing up poor in a small house filled with every instrument you could think of. The wide age range meant they were all into different genres and he played all genres from a young age. The real deal.😮

he is known and has been since early 90's. I live in a rural town in eastern Canada and they were huge even here., every musician knows Nuno, Extreme has was really bug even back then. "More than words"? a major hit,"get the fink out" etc etc

He's the perfect combination with the killer riffs from Jimmy Page, the wild sound from Jimi Hendrix, the melodic and the dramatic vibratos like Brian May and the virtuosity from Eddy Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen. Nuno really created a style of rock, mixing funk, groove, pop and heavy metal. And what a great composer, singer, showman... come on. He's really the greatest! What a nice dude too.

Becker wrote immortal music. Bettencourt stands higher than Gilbert in my book, but that's not enough to come among the very top guys.
@stantheman19765 жыл бұрын
I think it's probably because of the peers he came to notoriety around. Paul Gilbert made a name for himself in Racer X. Everyone in that band was at least of equal caliber and they wrote music that showed that off. Jason Becker started with Marty Friedman making music where they both showed their skills fully. Nuno gained fame in Extreme who came around during the hair metal era so they got lumped into that category. The guys in Extreme were talented but they weren't Jason Becker or Scott Travis level. Jason Becker would have known no boundaries to his skill level had his ability to play not been taken away.
