Nuno Bettencourt Chats and Jams with Sammy Hagar | Rock & Roll Road Trip

[@shiscarp]

Sammy 74, Gary 61, Nuno 55. These guys have aged very well (understatement for Sammy and Nuno) and so have their voices/ability.

[@wentasticmathematics1340]

You’ve got that right. Sammy is unreal. I don’t know how he does it, but he still sounds fantastic and has all the energy in the world.

[@ascaris2]

What? If this is 74, 61 and 55, I can’t wait to grow up! 😍

[@CASNY4METAL]

yo something wrong with those numbers

[@mindseye4914]

Wait what?!??!?!??!??! 74?????? 61???? That's bloody unreal

[@markburgess6466]

Munis rhythm playing is just off the hook that’s why he’s such a great lead player he can do similar things and they sound different because his phrasing and sense of melody is world class and variable

[@MerkinMuffly]

Nuno looks exactly the same he did 30 years ago, amazing

[@bradwest4821]

Exactly. How is that possible. He looks 25

[@SophieP-un5tu]

I really like Nuno's definition of happiness. That's exactly what it is, savoring the moment. Carpe diem 🙂

[@Kurt1969]

Nuno nailed it. Being present. That is one of the keys to life.

[@innnews6299]

This is epic. Two former Van Halen’s lead singers (Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone) together with an icon of rock guitar, Nuno Bettencourt.

I only realized relatively recently how good Extreme's harmonies were whilst watching a video of them live from Donnington '94. I was actually there but don't remember much about it.

[@30steveg]

yea and Gary looks rough aint it. is he into crack and heroin?

[@DaveTaste]

That "underrated" singing sold their most successful record. It's called More Than Words. Check out the sales of that single and it's massive worldwide success.

To see ex's performing together and still getting on is impressive. Very well kept secret. Also the reason that EVH sacked Gary, he didnt like Gary bringing his partners on the road etc. Both NB and GC swing both ways. Dont believe me, the proof is out there.

[@alwaysemployed656]

I always find it funny when the host(s) seems more nervous and shy and the guest feels super confident and relaxed.

[@jasontaylor5150]

Finally!!! Seriously one of the most underrated bands ever and always sick in concert

being a 90s kid, I forgot about these guys, Nuno is a pretty charming Cat as usual. Thanks to Rick Beato for shouting out Nunos epic solo.

[@Bernz66]

“To be happy is to be present”…… thanks Nuno!!!

[@greghampton71]

Nuno is quite the character. Great sense of witty humor. I think besides the vocal booth he built he must've built a time machine as well. Man, he still looks like he's in his mid 30's. Great episode, Sammy! Won't Get Fooled Again rocked!

[@mrsteamhorn]

The lads had a line in the kitchen before the interview 😂

[@30steveg]

yea and Gary looks like a compost heap

[@imacop33]

I went to see Extreme last night at Hampton Beach. Almost 40 years later and they’re still kicking ass! Their skill and energy level is absolutely amazing. 🤙🏼

[@23nashman]

Nuno Bettencourt may possibly be the most talented guitarist of that generation. His complexity in extremes songs are pretty unprecedented. Brian May said that he could never play the guitar solo for get the funk out. Awesome interview.

[@scottwaszak698]

Vito Bratta was even better, great as Nuno is.

[@23nashman]

Looked him up and have more searching to do but highly impressed with some material I’ve heard.

Nuno is the coolest cat to come along in Rock for many decades, and he keeps on rocking. RnR cant die as long as Nuno is still around!

[@ikmusicfr]

Not only these people are extremely talented but there’s true humility. And their albums (starting from the 2d one) are masterpieces that will get all the deserved recognition in time.

[@donovanedwards5150]

I met Nuno and Gary in 1990 when they were performing in Joplin, MO during the Pornograffiti tour. Such humble and gracious guys. We spent a good 20 minutes just talking about music and bands we grew up with. Brought my Circus magazine that had the tablature for Mutha. Nuno read through it and said it was pretty accurate. Then both he and Gary signed it. That article and a pic of the three of us hangs in my home office to this very day. Can’t wait for the new album to drop!

[@JNMKlover]

😭u have made me SO happy! Backing up the people that I feel in my heart r good people. I used to get the new mags. Metal Edge was a fave. I was jealous that Gerry got to meet so many cool guys. I had all the KISS special editions. But outgrew that part. Now I would love to flip through all of the old ones. Even the teen ones. U can find some articles or pics online, but it's not that same.

[@P_A_N_D_U]

Thanks for being the part of my life's journey… Long live u guys 🤘

[@bpalm74]

Such a great band. You always hear great things about Nuno, which is well deserved, but not much about the band. I think they are extremely underrated for their body of work. I hope more people can watch this and discover how great they really are. Sammy is nailing this series with all these great acts.

[@manydreams1life315]

That was THE best jam of the entire history of the show !!!

[@clintonsmith1774]

Absolutely the best, best, very best episode of the series. I’m sure off camera, they warmed their chops up, but that does not guarantee by any means that it goes smoothly. I expected Nuno to be top notch, but vocals are tricky. I’ve heard many famous singers sound horrible when put on the spot, so give those dudes their credit. They were having a blast doing what they love doing, and they sounded great. Hey Sammy, what makes you happy? He answered his own question.

[@conorprovan9435]

Sammy is happiness -stay gold buddy. You bring the good times

This video is brilliant, I started off this morning watching Justin Hawkins doing a video about Extreme’s new song “Rise” which is awesome, then by chance I ended up here, it has made my day. The acoustic rendition of Won’t Get Fooled Again in this video is the best I have ever heard, thank you so much guys.

Damn Im like a third through the vid wanting to hear the new riffs and shit. Glad to read they included some. Even spotified just now to see if theres a single released. Nuno looks so much like Phil Sgrosso from As I Lay Dying its unreal

I am from Ashland Massachusetts and have always been a huge fan of Extreme. The first time I watched Extreme perform was in the 80's at THE CHANNEL in Boston Ma. They were EXTREMELY awesome live! Pun intended. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the new album. Thank you for the interview video, and jam Sammy. Also thank God for KZbin. As a kid in the 70's and 80's, one never really had the opportunity to get quality interviews and insights of our favorite bands. Love it!

For sure! All we had were some clips and the occasional Saturday daytime 8 minute interviews. Or in a magazine.

Van Halen is my all time favorite band. I seen them live. Notice Sammy wiping a tear from is eye after he asked Gary his experience visiting 12:42 5150 studios. Sammy said in another interview, that when he was in Van Halen, it was the best music he ever made. Very special.

One of the things that I have always loved about Nuno (besides his sick tone, technique and writing skills) is that he is both comfortable and a master at playing both electric AND acoustic!! Most guitar virtuosos we know usually concentrate on their electric skills, which is badass of course, but tend to not have that much of acoustic recordings or offerings, which is not the case with Nuno!!! Definitely one of my all time heroes!
