You two should really consider doing a podcast together. Tons of knowledge, and fun to listen to. Maybe when Nuno stops touring, if that ever happens.

Rick! We were the “old people” (your age) who approached Nuno at the VIP “Sound Check Experience” at Hard Rock Sacramento. We told him that we “discovered” Extreme for the first time through your amazing interview (yes, really!) We are long time subscribers to your channel, but I told Nuno that he was the best interview - ever! I also told him that we now have all of their albums & love their music. He told all the other guys right there in front of us, “They found us through Beato!” They seemed very pleased to hear this. All of the guys were very kind, humble, and gracious with all the fans there. They played a great show & they were definitely “all in”. We were so excited to see this latest interview. Nuno told us that you were a genuinely nice guy - and that you “tricked” him into playing at the first interview! Rock on, Nuno- you are the greatest! THANK YOU RICK for everything that you do.❤

Nuno is every interviewer's dream: he just keeps talking, and delivering.... - thx Rick for bringing him back

We seriously need a video series called “Nuno and Rick react to tunes they love” just you guys playing bits of tunes and reacting. Watching you guys on this is so much fun… like a combination of Bill and Ted, Wayne and Garth, and Beavis and Butthead.. this is easily one of the best videos you’ve ever made. It’s loose and focused all at once.

Nuno is so freaking cool and genuine. Could listen to him for hours

The chemistry between these 2 is so cool...i would listen to hours of them talking...

I can listen to Nuno chat with Rick for hours. This was awesome.

Rick and nuno need a series, great chemistry

That story about 12yo nuno... absolutely priceless... took me back when i was a little kid and all my phantasies were so real. Beautiful story.

A Beato/Nuno podcast would be epic. 30 minutes a week, recorded remotely from wherever you each are in the world. That would probably be a record breaking music podcast, honestly.

I love Nuno. He’s one of my all time favs. Pure brilliance…

I want this to be a never-ending thing. Nuno and Rick together is the greatest collab ever.

Amazing that Nuno would just drop in. That is what a friend would do. Thank you Nuno and Rick for sharing!!

Love that they (we) are all EVH fans…RIP…

"...so they heard the cassette?.." 😂😂 classic Nuno. You gotta have him on more Rick! 😂👍👍

Hope this isn't offensive but I told my wife that your channel Rick Beato is like Graham Norton for myself. It's a fantastic channel that privileges it's esoteric audience with a distanced physicality as if you've just had an encounter with one of your idles first hand. Like playing a support gig before one of the bands you're enamoured with and the guitarist comes over to chew the fat with you. I've had those experiences but your channel is sharing this with a new or old aspiring musician. It's an amazing privilege and so encouraging to see where you've taken your KZfaq channel. What a treasure you are Rick.

What I think makes Mr. Bettencourt so endearing to us fans is that not only does he have NO PROBLEM giving Edward Van Halen proper due as a massive inspiration, friend and to keep his name alive, but he also makes no apologies to anyone for it either. Since 1978 when all of us walked around with that "wtf is THAT??!!" look on our dumbfounded faces from the debut Van Halen album coming out, Nuno never wants any of us.... or even himself.... to ever forget that "wtf is THAT??!!" feeling. The Van Halen invasion is a time-stamp in my life too and one that also wishes it could have continued on a little longer. Thank you Nuno for being, well, Nuno, thank you Nuno for being very human, and thank you Nuno for playing YOUR ass off in your own "wtf is THAT??!!!" inspirational right too. I know I speak for many, but last, thank you King Edward for making our ears bleed and smoke with your ferocious, jaw-dropping and magnificent gifts for all of us to enjoy-- especially turned up to Spinal Tap 11. You are sorely missed and that is another "wtf?" moment time-stamped in my life too. May King Edward shred in peace.

With all due respect to everyone Rick has interviewed, is anyone as passionate as Nuno is? I could listen to he and Rick talk music all day long!

Nuno is truly an artist. Appreciate his candour, he's been an overnight sensation for almost 50 years. Can't wait to hear him live

This has got to the best beato interview...these two are like best friends chatting

I wish you would ask everyone about their hearing. HOW could you play loud for 38 years and not have ringing or hearing loss? Nuno best interview....the guy gets it and is SO real for a rockstar. He NAILED the drum talk...spot on.

I could listen these two with this casual banter, laughter and humor or hours........

The friendship you and Nuno have is the best! This is what makes your conversations with Nuno so unique. He is naturally who he is, when he is on your channel, chatting with you! Thank you for giving us this. Nuno rarely gives us this side of him and you bring it out so easily! Thank you so much.

One of your best Rick. Love Nuno. Could listen to you both for hours.

Saw Nuno play just a couple of weeks ago in SoCal. Man, I can’t properly articulate how great he is at his craft, and how great his showmanship is. He’s so fun to watch. One of the all time greats. 🤟🏼

"They heard the cassette?" had me laughing out loud! And "We've got stuff from the 1900's!" I laughed so much with this convo!!! Nuno's such a great storyteller with a massive sense of humor and humility!! This was such an enjoyable conversation to hear! Thank you so much, guys! Watching you two enjoying listening to the drums was like all of us "regular" people!! Nuno is such an extraordinary talent, a treasure, and a pleasure! Rick, thank you so much for this! Nuno is a GOAT!

This is the coolest interview I've ever heard! Two dudes hangin' talkin music. Just like we musicians and music lovers do!

Thank you Rick. Nuno makes me laugh hysterically 😂❤. I love his interviews. He is incredibly talented and has the best stories. The new album woke us all up. You guys should do a weekly podcast.

OH yeahhhhh! Gotta love some Nuno Bettencourt. How funny that he says someone "discovered" him through seeing him on Rick Beato's channel. I'm glad I was there for Extreme in real-time as a Gen X'er. Good music times!

Nuno is my favorite uncle, never can get tired of hearing him talk and telling us these amazing stories

Man, the chemistry between you guy's is like long time buddies; I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it... Talk about kindred spirits! And the way you both attacked the topics was so entertaining! Thank you, Rick, for inviting Nuno Bettencourt to the studio, I not only loved the topics but, gain some information as well. Awesome interview! I Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! Hope you guy's stay in touch and benefit from the communications. I LOVED WHEN BOTH OF YOU WERE LISTENING TO TRACKS AND NUNO WAS NODING NO AND YOU WAS NODING YES... LOL 55:16

This was one of the best lives! Nuno had so much personality! He seems to adore Rick, so there’s that! I just love this. Nuno has a million stories, seems like!

I'm genuinely blown away by Death On Two Legs. Thank you Nuno for the recommendation! Extremes III Sides To Every Story charged my musical DNA. It changed my life. I'm so glad you guys are getting the appreciation you deserve. I'm glad new fans are coming to you! Rick, excellent conversation! Congrats on crossing 4 mil!

Saw Xtreme for the first time last Saturday (03/10/2024), in St Petesburg, Fl. Living Colour opened for them (I'm actually a huge Living Colour fan, drove 4 hours from Miami just for the sake of seeing LC for the 15th time) I was totally mind blown by Nuno and the band. And on top of his playing, he's an amazing host and master of ceremony. Great show, those guys are on their prime.

Nuno is awsome. Such a cool and real dude

To be honest, the "Get the funk out" solo is the best of all times! How it starts, then when you think it's "peaking", it just goes off on another level and leaves you stunned....👌🏼🔥🎸🤘🏼🎸

Thank you so much Rick for bringing us closer to our idols. Nuno is the most genuine rockstar ever.

So cool watching Nuno and Rick. It seems these guys like to hang out with eachother. I watched this last night until l feel asleep smiling and dreaming about guitar solos. Such a happy moment.

Been a nuno fan since 1990, despite their mtv fame im feeling like the world has finally caught on to what ive loved for a long time.

Ok let me say one stupid thing... there is something magic happening only on the Rick's channel: two f**ing BIG stars and pros and artists of the music scene (each one in his area) are talking like two school buddies that are crazy for music and rock and gear and records (but with all the know-how they have!). The genuine enthusiasm and passion in each word and in the faces and in the eyes... wow... it's like you are there and are listening Eruption for the first time with them!!! And... to me... this is what make Nuno (apart the f*ing monster gutarist and musician he is) a no-age musician and Rick the best music's ambassador in the whole YT. Tnx both guys!

I have a good friend who was the bass player for a new pop rock guy in the late 70s who EVERYBODY knows ( won't say the name, but he was from IN) that told me "stop thinking and just F*&%ing play". Good to hear that works for Nuno and many others. I have alot of work to do now.

The Brian worship is so welcomed and enjoyed. Thank you both, I’ve been screaming this exact stuff from the mountain tops my entire life…and was able to tell Brian in person 😎🤛🏻🙌🏻

Rick, I'm late to the party here, but this is honestly some of the best on-channel vibes ever. You and Nuno need to do something together or _at least_ have him drop in for a yap session like this. Some of the most entertaining moments for us to be flies on the wall. And, no kidding, when you guys dug into the room mics used on Eruption, I got goosebumps. Outstanding!

Nuno’s got it. It’s all in your head. Being relaxed and ready is the best way to perform in the zone!

Love to listen to Nuno and Rick go back and forth. I’m a Nuno obsessed guitarist so I’m partial. ❤

Nothing like an interview about playing that makes you pick up your guitar and start playing, great job!

I had the privilege to see Nuno this past Saturday at the Ryman..... 2 hours of greatness!!!! Thank you Nuno!

Rick and Nuno are two cool dudes to watch/listen to, such a good rapport you guys have. And Nuno always paying respects and sharing stories about Edward makes me super happy. Shred on dude!

Nuno is always a riot in interviews. You never know what he will say to questions. Kind of like his playing. I am proud to have Extreme as a band come from Massachusetts.

Cant help noticing that you've passed 4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. Congratulations Rick.

I'm not a musician and know very little about the technical side of music, but I could listen to these two talk about music all day long. They bring out the human side and the soul of it. And such great stories, too.

Nuno is so special. Too smart to be true, so funny and passionate about everything. There is some kind of sadness deep in his eyes...it's my personal perception but what do I know. Maybe he's just tired. Extraordinary musician!!! Love ya'Nuno !!! ❤

I love listening to Nuno talk and tell stories

Spot on about music in the car!

This is probably my favourite Rick Beato interview so far. The passion for the intricate detail of music composition/playing/ physicality by Rick and Nuno is awe inspiring.

I respect Mr Nuno.the best

I wouldn’t be upset if you guys decide to meet more regularly to have these talks…I can listen you guys talk about music for hours!!! So cool and interesting! ❤🎉

Saw him last night in Jacksonville. Fantastic.

We need a Nuno and Rick podcast 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!!

You 2 guys are a modern Bill and Ted. Make something BIG together. We need you!!

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better after the first interview, you get Nuno on again! He is such an interesting and inspiring person. His energy and passion make me want to just go out there and create my own art fearlessly. Thank you so much, Rick and Nuno!

Man, I love your interviews! I just wanted to say thank you! You bring people who we've loved and admired for years, but we had never had the chance to meet and see in such a personal and natural atmosphere. Thank you once again!

I am watching the video, smiling from the 1st minute and I can't stop it, and realizing how much fun Nuno and Rick have during this interview! Great!

I love the chemistry of you two talking music. It’s really a treat to watch you two.

I feel like I'm sitting with them. I love having these conversations with music minded friends! . Love it!

Fawking NUNO!!! I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm excited from his excitement, I'm viscerally moved by his descriptions of drums and guitars and Aja, and I'm encouraged by his humaness!! Thank you both for this WONDERFUL interview! I barely missed the live, dang it! Nuno, you exude that same joy for music that Eddie did! Rock on! Have fun at the concert! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

WOW, Nuno is such great fun when he's hanging in your studio! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

I’ve been watching this in phases. It’s so great to see 2 amazing musicians/producers talk shop. No rush to finish just “spitballing” and going from great idea to great idea. I actually learn when I watch you guys. Thank you Nuno and Rick!!!🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

Thank-you Nuno & Rick for sharing your insightful conversation 💟

More nuno interviews!! One of the best rock guitarists when it comes to perfect mix of attitude/technique/musicality.

Sooooo great! You can see they are having a great time, Nuno’s personality really comes out in his music- what a great soul! I saw them in Charlotte 1993, Cologne 2023, and I will see them in Italy 2024.. can’t wait to see them again!

THIS was the discussion of the century. Feeling blessed ❤

Yes!!! Loving this. 2 gentlemen clearly like each other. Respect.

The meeting of two great minds. The energy and enthusiasm is so infectious. 🖤

I love your interviews with Nuno. He's such a real dude. I'll watch ANYTIME you get him on. Sometimes, more than once, like when you have shorts with him. Yeah, I watched the whole thing already, but I'll watch another snippet of Nuno anytime.

Everyone that knows Rick's channel is the quintessential of reviews, knowledge and everything music... High 5!

You should have an interview with Nuno once per month.

This is THE BEST Nuno interview ever.

Nuno is so awesome! He was always destined for greatness. I'm so happy their album is going so well.

Nuno is magical! It was so lovely to see him in Atlanta this week. A very sweet and inspiring man. ❤

Nino is right about hearing a recording in the car. Prince used to do this. Music sounds right when you're in your car.

So fun to listen to two incredibly knowledgeable music lovers. Enthusiasm and love. Thank you Nuno! Rick Beato is music teacher to the world!

You guys! I feel as if I am back in my big brothers room with him and his friends talking music (you know, the little sister that you had to kick out all the time). Lovely, just lovely! ❤

good times. thx Rick and Nuno. cheers

I think this channel can easily make it to 20 million subscribers.

Nuno has been one of my favorite guitarists since the 90s, but after seeing him with you, he's now also one of my favorite people. Good show!

Beautiful moment when they're both listening to eruption so intensely.

two highly talented, extremely skilled, handsome older men! Love you two!

What a joy! I felt like a fly on the wall listening to you guys just chat with love, enthusiasm and humour. Two peas in a pod - you should definitely do this regularly. thank you for sharing this.

What a great talk! I loved the casual theme of the chat. You two went deep without a plan. Thank you, Rick and Nuno!

Nuno is the shit. He seems so genuine.

You know Nuno is portuguese because of the way he uses is hands to talk! Amazing guitar player and amazing talker.

It is really cool that fans are asking the band to play even more of the new songs. It shows how good the new album is. Not a lot of bands up their game that much 35-40 years into their career.

This channel keeps reaching new heights. Fantastic hang with two of the best.

Awesome conversation guys! The 8 track tape memories.. classic.

So much information in such an epic interview!!!

Ahh Rick this was so much fun to watch. Nuno is hilarious. The two of you talking together just flows so effortlessly. Keep up the amazing work you’re doing.

This is such a great conversation. I’ve seen so many Nuno interviews and have never heard that Ozzy cassette story. Amazing.

THIS IS A HANG!!

I think we all would like to hang with Nuno.
