NUNO BETTENCOURT & PAUL GILBERT - CUPID'S DEAD [HQ AUDIO]

[@chupacabra9132]

2024 and still soooooooo damn good! 🤘

[@NoneLikeAsura]

Yeah mate

[@DarinStahlDPS]

I LOVE seeing Paul Gilbert anywhere. He fits in perfectly with this song. Letting Nuno shine and adding the perfect backing.

[@simonscott1121]

He's obviously a massive Extreme fan :)

[@dca21camilo]

Possible 2 of the best guitarist in the rock history together !!! So amazing to see that!!

[@mickfeenstra2766]

Had the privilege of seeing Extreme and Mr Big combined concert, fricken awesome!!!

[@nickbebop7688]

Amazing performance loving the slowed down version. Not even mentioning the heavenly sounds of two guitar gods playing together.

[@BarriosGroupie]

I like Paul Gilbert... but Nuno Bettencourt is just on another planet when it comes to creating incredible catchy tunes.

[@-__-_-_--__--_-__-_____--_-___]

down to mexico's pretty good

[@digiwhite6470]

Cheers for this, I have been researching "shred guitar technique" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ganyatty Guitar Gainify - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got great success with it.

[@MarkRobertson]

PG in his hey day was pretty snappy

[@elca8736]

Paul is like a mechanic helper...

[@tanuki5834]

Gilbert is catchy to me. Green tinted sixties mind Is a. Often. Played song in My house

[@dvoraak]

This made me remember how amazing 3 Sides was. I'm gonna have to revisit that album.

[@kevinmiracle8233]

you should definitely do that! good stuff man!

[@iliketurtles999]

The best thing about this song is the fact that it all sounds like a big ass jam session both on the record and live. Especially in this live version where Nuno decides to slow it down and then speed it up again, throw an eruption in there... Just plain fun. One of their greatest songs no doubt

[@zenn5150gaming]

I was gonna say did anyone else catch the shoutout to Eddie? Nuno, Paul and Mike on Bass =AMAZING

[@DL-yo5tq]

3 sides was such an underated album

[@domainjester]

Absolutely! I STILL bring it with me to test stereos I want to buy too :) Great stuff

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Totally agree, used to listen to it every night as I went to sleep. Such an epic journey of an album

[@spinachleach]

25 years have passed I still uphold that album on an altar of all time greats

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Agreed 100%. Although my stereo hasn't been hooked up for years, I still have that CD, and I can alway pull up those songs here and listen. I have a Bose speakers w/a subwoofer on my computer & it gets loud enough for me, and my neighbors.

[@irmasil3]

Nuno can stand next to ANY guitar God out there and hold his ground in perfection...Easily on my top 5 guitar players of all time....His right hand is a machine..

[@davyboy9397]

Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane and Allan Holdsworth are the only exceptions. But they are / were on a level that no one else can touch

[@GuruGuru3]

@@davyboy9397 Nuno can do all of that smiling. He is way beyond all this technicalities.

[@GuruGuru3]

Nuno is the only GOD.

[@davyboy9397]

@@GuruGuru3 I'm sorry, but no he can not. He can do the Malmsteem/Gilbert/Vai/Batio stuff for sure. He cannot play intricate Jazz fusion patterns. No , nope. Wrong

[@davyboy9397]

@@GuruGuru3 I would like to see Nuno vs Kiko Loureiro tho. Both men , similar skill set, Portugal vs Brazil

[@yudiherdiana4979]

It's amazing to see my favorite two guitar gods playing on the same stage

[@j_laf9575]

I am just getting back into Nuno and am just discovering this and oh lord was that amazing. Paul is amazing as well but Nuno is just on another level!!! The chops, the tightness of his rhythm, the incredible in the pocket playing, that absolute guitar shred badassery... and he makes it look so cool!! The complete package!

[@zenn5150gaming]

Back when they were first getting big Extreme played a show in Rockford,Illinois where I lived and after the concert they went to a local bar to hang out and the bar band that was playing asked them to come up and jam and Nuno and Pat got up and played 4 songs with them and on every song Nuno sat back and rocked the rhythm and let the bar bands guitar player do all the leads...was the coolest thing ever,here is a Master Guitarist just kickin it and letting another guy shine...He gained a whole new level of respect from me that night...

[@steveymoon]

Nuno's tone is always amazing. So percussive.

[@zenn5150gaming]

Nuno is for sure Next Level but props to Paul, He could easily outplay anyone he is on stage with but knows when to let it rip and when to let others shine. This is obviously Nuno's song and Paul just hangs back and lets another True Master of the instrument do his thing...

[@cometblazt]

Just spotted Pat Mastellotto on drums, from non other than King Crimson. That's class!

[@kaiying74]

Just laying it out there that while Nuno is indeed a guitar god, his bassist (in Extreme) Pat Badger has to nail that riff along with him. That man is a monster. Also noone's going to mention Nuno missing his vocal track?

[@mikecorey8370]

Pat Badger is one of the best rock bassists ever. Playing with Nuno, you have to be. The original Extreme lineup was unbeatable. What a band, with the greatest rock singer of all time. Nobody can touch Gary Charone.

[@itsjohnnymillion]

I keep imagining how much fun Paul had learning this tune.

[@GlitchyCheckpoint]

This is technically brilliant playing! Such tight rhythmically! Paul and Nuno are geniouses!

[@TwistedMind86Chern]

Gilbert is great on everything he does.

[@dbaker5280]

I've been a HUGE fan ever since Extreme first came out but this is the first time I ever remember seeing Nuno with short hair. At first I thought " Dang! That guy plays like Nuno! ". - ha ha

[@johncole015]

Definitely one of my favorite Extreme songs.

[@clivity8718]

Nuno remains the absolute BEST guitarists in the entire world with his right hand technique! RIGHT HAND IS WHERE THE GROOVE IS! LOve love love this!

[@BURNOUT3272]

My two favorite guitarists on one stage!

[@cdrpaige9486]

Gilbert was groovin- and of course missed nothing.

[@RubberStig]

I was struggling to think of another guitarist with the chops and the feel to stick with Nuno and the bassist (who I don't know, and am not qualified to comment on ;-)) who were absolutely on fire, and it is a very short list.

[@healthypostnatalbody]

Yeah, I’ll just put my guitar away and cry for a bit now.

[@golfhound]

Don't do that. I assume you're kidding. Be inspired to play better. great guitar playing isn't only about shredding. Listen to Andy Summers with all of his work with the Police. The Edge is another great guitarist with U2. All of these great have their own rewards. I could give more examples, so be inspired.

[@fsrsaa]

Exactly man.🤣👀👀

[@joekao192]

Nuno ! That guitar is never change, I watch him so many years, he seem always like that, always great and outstanding! I even don’t play guitar!

[@juanechague222]

Two badass players together, what a great gig 🤘🏻

[@Aesop87]

III Sides is STILL in my Top 10 albums of all time list. It's got it all. Now, can we get some new music please?

[@TheMambotube]

Nuno is not only a great guitarist. He is also a great musician, he can sing, he can play a lot of instruments outside guitar, and the important thing is he's absolutely genius!!

[@arifwarm6072]

This slow version still EPIC 🔥

[@bandage4uhoney520]

That guy on Keyboard wasn't having it lol. He looked pissed off to annoyed the entire session...

[@ChipMoody]

Nah man - watch him with Steve Hackett - he's just 1000% in his own chill zone... :)

[@felipegonzalezoficial777]

My two favorite guitar players reunited in one stage this is so hilarious 😮

[@grtxyz4358]

Wow awesome take on this song, great to hear Nuno sing the lead. And combi with Paul… they should record something together. 11 years ago already. Paul looks so young… Nuno looks like Nuno though 🤣

[@ninblues3]

This both guys PG & NB abolutely crazy GENIUS!!!

[@yaboyi6795]

I love the eruption lick at 4:32

[@knightstalker87]

*NUNO is EXTREMED UP by his SIDE and his own style DEFINITELY IN EXTREME CONDITIONS!*

[@steveymoon]

Best version of this song ever.

[@lenardlontoc3585]

Total props. Mike Szuter, CLE!!!!!

[@BuffaloDoctor]

Paul Gilbert came to the show straight from his job at the lumber yard, poor guy didn't even have time to change

[@IvanPsoff]

Back again... My younger times... "3 sides concept" has become the very true for me and searching the peace in and out...

[@joemeza1791]

I hate how good they are :-). Excellent players. If I was that good ...... I'd be rich!

[@josephkia6157]

Love their uniqueness, NB and PG❤🎉🎸🎼💯🔥

[@dougvolinski5824]

Bass player is phenomenal

[@michelealfo9058]

This was truly amazing! Omg😻

[@amrock2722]

Awesome! How did KZbin recommend this to me 9 years after?

[@seanconnors1613]

Your impeccable taste and the almighty algorithm my friend

[@ivana1984100]

Too good to be true this guys at concert were so lucky

[@GioOnTheMic]

Mind blowing Nuno as always. Fun fact:5:06 Paul Gilbert from that angle reminded me MCA (r.i.p.) from the Beastie Boys for a moment 💙

[@janknuno6033]

Ya'll know this is from 'Guitar Wars", right? But alot was cut out, and if you snoop around youtube you will find NUNO playing drums on a few of the edited out tunes....also,.check out 'New Princess' Bettencourt family members and such, and their drummer looks VERY familiar. Even put on a pink wig when they opened for Extreme so people wouldn't recognize him. Let the young ones have their day. What a humble and talented individual.

[@jamespyngrope77]

The best version of Cupid's dead..

[@youtubejhs5150]

Amazing

God, love the arrangement for this version!

[@ДмитрийТокарев-ь6ш]

Отличное исполнение !

[@gr8guitarplayer]

This sounds like what you'd get if you took prog music and funked it up. Which is what a lot of Extreme was, more funk than prog, but totally cool.

[@tonypowell250]

Paul looks like he has turned up to service a boiler.

[@kbcknz]

this was freaking awesome!

[@aivira3161]

Now , I know why Slash doesn’t like Nuno and Paul ! 😂😂😂

[@shoresy4084]

Because slash is a hack and Nuno and Paul are genuine virtuosos

Did Nuno have a new neck made for his N4 back then? No logo on the head.

[@bewbsaka]

JAM level : MAXIMUM!!!

[@CoachingChaos]

Eruption. Chills, mangs.

[@oamadave]

Really glad to see this, though I'm surprised at what looks like really bad lip-synching starting around 4:07. Anyone else notice that?

[@moxafastypoon9681]

Yes, he must have dubbed it, it is different in the original live (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYarkGuNZZugrbc at 42:17)

[@TerryHillen]

Tight and funky. I mean how can you complain but look at the size of that crowd...you could have bumped this by a real horn section, you know Stax/TOP....dayam....I mean even the visual would have been ridiculous...still, out of sight. Thanks for sharing this.

[@robinbuckingham9189]

Am I the only one who recognizes Pat Mastelotto on drums?

[@janknuno6033]

+Robin “Von” Buckingham and NUNO on drums. But no, I do not know who these talented musicians were...and I am ashamed. When ANYONE knows who NUNO is, I am shocked and delighted. To those who don't know...be ashamed. His style hit me like Tommy Bolin's genius hit me when I saw him with 'James Gang" Same reaction....I need MORE of this guitar player making my ears bleed NOW!!

[@ConspireToConspire]

I'm so glad somebody else recognized him! You could recognize him just from the playing even. He has a distinct attack.
