Nuno Bettencourt LIVE Solo Medley & "Take Us Alive" - Generation Axe - 4/24/16 - Warner Theater, DC

[@stefaniabonera5569]

He’s not only a living legend with the guitar, he’s a complete artist and global musician. He is perfection.❤

[@Boogieplex]

Nuno is the best. He has the absolute best guitar tone, very clean/lo gain and articulate. He has this killer palm mute about his playing. He’s in total control of his instrument. He makes it all look so effortless,and everything he does is syncopated. He’s definitely one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He influenced me for years,and im 48 yrs old. I can only imagine how many kids this guy has inspired. I hope he reads these comments and realizes what he’s done for the guitar community. I need to buy one of his guitars!

[@jonfaris1895]

The N4 is a great guitar, especially for playing live. Go get you one.

[@muythaimutha]

Nuno can play anything and he does it with style and makes it look easy..... Probably the best guitarist in the world.

[@Somewhere-in]

muythaimutha he's sure up there with the best.

[@LostMyMojo100]

Wildcatter63...... I'm an old guitarist and a huge Jimi fan....... You're very close to the truth..... Singers, songwriters, ground breaking guitarists, great stage presence...... I've said the same thing as you did decades ago.....

[@4dmind]

He is my personal favorite. Malmsteen, Vai, Satriani, Nuno, Zakk, Ian Thornley, Yuji Adachi (Dead End) and Akira are my top list.

[@flatfifth5876]

yeah he's good! if your interested check out Greg koch my favorite guitarist!

[@sonykroket]

You're exactly right.

[@edalder2000]

From about 1990 to 1993, Extreme was my favorite band. Great vocal harmonies and I heard Nuno's playing. So fluid and funky. The greater public may underrate Nuno but guitar heads know that he is one of the greats.

[@dennisking3975]

Whoa Man!! Lost my heart at 4:26...I just LOVE this guy's phrasing!! I love to watch him play almost as much I like to listen, he is so free with his instrument. He's a joy to watch.

[@arnyarny77]

glad to see nuno around after all these years and doing so well for himself

[@LostMyMojo100]

This guy is the best in my book!

[@rockysullivan4097]

Nuno in his career wrote a lot of amazing solos. Creativity, great control and super tempo

[@Statistic68]

Most underrated guitar player of all time.

[@tenshinseishin]

This guy has it all. Fantastic player and genuinely nice guy. Love extreme and all the solo work Nuno has done too.

[@Thedesertguy75]

NUNO is the perfect combination of classical technique perfection and groovy funk. Hes so talented and fun to watch. YOu almost have to watch it more than once to pick up all the changes and styles he throws in there. but the speed and soul is awesome!

[@josephfrancisco89]

Extremely Good. Nuno your the man!!!

[@TravisHyllMusic]

He seamlessly flows between blues, country, metal, classic rock, funk etc in his riffs and leads. It's a huge mix up of several genres.

[@grudgematchchat9315]

So glad to see the respect given to Nuno in these comments. He doesn't get enough of it, the dude is an incredible guitar player.

[@deansilkmusic]

Absolutely LOVE it!!!! Also when Zakk whips the phone out to get some footage, great piece of artist appreciation there. Had artists do that for me in the past and when you see the footage go online its an awesome feeling!

[@brunosampaio2399]

Few guitar players still have that energy and passion to play after SO MANY years on the road. Long live to Nuno. And the guy is like The Dorian Gray Portrait or something!

[@TheCho-k4m]

Coolest guy on the planet and an utterly insanely great musician/songwriter. If I ever had to own up to a man-crush it would be Nuno lol, he's the best at what he does, phenomenal all-rounder.

[@bluematrix5001]

10000%

[@5150mario]

Love his tone..

[@jimmyeich6250]

Nuno, you are a true original and master of expression on your instrument. Thank you

[@tshawnh]

Love stumbling across stuff like this while wasting the day away on KZbin! I've been a big Nuno fan for years and it never gets old watching him play. Missed this tour when it came through Kansas City as I was out of the country, but had friends tell me it was freakin' awesome! Thanks for posting!

[@DarkSideOfDisney]

You're very welcome! It was a great show, for sure. Nuno just keeps getting better!

[@stevehess10000]

I watch this and I think - how is he not at the top of every "greatest guitar players" list? And yet Rolling Stone selected "Kurt Cobain" and "Dave Grohl" over this guy.

[@jerichofreman7116]

Stephen Hess Kurt Cobain isn't really known for his guitar playing more for his singing and songwriting and controversy

[@adampetten5349]

+Jericho Freman Nuno Should be in top Five. Cobain 200 for great riff playing good simple solos and songwriting

[@ohforchristssake1]

the only reason why those lists exist is that some people who actually can not play a guitar properly (like Eric Clapton) could be named as guitarists ... =) dont take me wrong, I like Eric Clapton, he is a fine MUSICIAN and producer, but frankly, could he play just one riff from this collection .... ? =) =)

[@andyeats7938]

Just a popularity contest !

[@joedough76]

Teenagers buy stuff

[@mickdonnell7077]

Damn......Nuno is a Real Guitar God....he'll be up there with all the greats FOREVER.....a true original..

[@mihavodnik1146]

He is awesome, one of a kind, brilliant..and unfortunatly one of the most underrated guitarist 🤨 it’s a shame...

[@reecejohnson7581]

I’m so in love with this man. How does he make everything look so damn easily. One of the most rhythmic funky guitarist of all time.

[@benbrookesbelcher1]

so good.....

[@mancitypreston]

Absolutely brilliant I watched this a few times and am not getting bored of it yet

[@orlyt274]

Why is this not getting more likes?? Did people really forget about what raw amazing talent mean? This man is an amazing guitarist!!

[@bluesslider76]

Nuno always has been a favorite. Fantastic player with that perfect mix of styles. Right hand is on point too. Terrifying

[@bettencourt27]

one of the greatest .. 4sure!

[@伊関健一]

コンマ何秒もずれがない運指最強最高恐ろしいレベルかっこ良すぎて参りました。😭世界トップですよ👹数人の超人ギタリストに入っていますし後は好みこれからも引きまくり感動下さいね👍

[@jeromesilva4503]

those 2 runs N B does back to back at 8:30 are f*cking SICK ! (and those wild time signature riffs w/crazy accents from his ''Cupid is Dead'' arsenal completely kicked ass!) ..... a phenomenal musician that Bettencourt has become shows no signs of slowing down!

[@akubagus1534]

I love extreme and nuno so much...and i wish they always exist..

[@mrcsp666]

nuno bettencourt is guitar freak a total and utter virtuoso totally unique

[@transtremm]

Thanks for posting this, a fantastic technical performance, plus you can tell he's really having fun!

[@DarkSideOfDisney]

+transtremm You're very welcome! He had a short set, but made the most of it and was definitely the highlight of the evening.

[@j.c.mhardcoremetalfan413]

Nuno and Jake E Lee two of the best guitarist ever that are so underrated

[@aolemjackpongen8157]

The best of the best

[@VlogsNiKuyang]

He never grows old!!!! An absolute player!!! Very clean playing and XTREME accuracy! ....if i can only bring back the early years of the 90’s ...

[@darkvoid86]

So cool seeing Zakk Wylde acting like a fanboy around the 5:00 mark

[@srinathnagarajan5824]

Nuno even mentions somewhere that Zakk has a great heart!

[@Metal531]

\m/

[@LandingNow]

Zakk taking notes in the back lol

[@dceballos067]

Saw that too, I was like "Is that Zakk taking a shot of Nuno?" at 04:51.

[@rosemarylimboo7671]

Same here 😁

[@MichielMensingh]

Nuno “next level” Bettencourt!! Absolutely Amazing!!

[@BlackStarFan007]

True talent. Haven’t listened to Nuno in a long time. Flawless.

[@rejanemariaferreira4562]

Nuno é o melhor de todos os guitarristas de todos os tempos. Magnífico no que faz! Bravo Nuno!!! 😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕

[@BUNKERJR53]

I watch him play and it makes me want to put my guitar collection away forever!!!!!!!!!! Fricking amazing.......

[@monkeybusiness1867]

there can be only one Nuno Bettencourt

Saw live twice still love this song. Sold my N4 when broke.. Musically my first love!

[@tonyflorez3753]

Nuno is a beast!🤘

[@moonoinkgaming2231]

6:01 the way nuno waves over the bassist from the backing band thats fucking huge. amazing and beautiful moment of sick riffs and the bassist enjoying a few seconds of nunos spotlight, literally. the heat of that light must have felt so, so good love it. hes such a great person and an even better guitarist

[@STETTRACE]

I could play exactly like NUNO if I could slow it down 99% and study it for ten years. MONSTER!!

[@carolinevdvlies6969]

Exactly😅

[@kellyleavitt7738]

Unreal!!! Nuno is amazing!

[@PublicidadPositiva]

hermoso SIEMPRE ME ALUCINÓ ESA MEZCLA DE CLASICO, SINFONICO Y ROCK

[@dorianvaz7572]

That's worth the price of admission right there

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

He-man woman hater is still one of the greatest rock riffs of all time, and the breakdown of Cupid's Dead is crazy good.

[@SKarthikeyan75]

Agree, for me my favorite is that rest in peace solo which is so melodic. My favorite. Right up there with the Get the funk out solo.

[@sonykroket]

God he will always be awesome, one of my biggest inspirations ever.

[@nickefgen9219]

This is the first time I’ve seen him play wow!!!! What an amazing player

[@Taylor___]

Is there a better live player than Nuno? Geesus he doesn't miss a beat. You think Steve Vai and gang are good, then you go back and listen to Nuno and your head just explodes. Even Zakk Wylde is filming him

[@wormwood8238]

Actually Dime Bag Darrel was but now he's gone R.I.P 😭😞👊🤘🤘🤘

[@bobartur1386]

Great Nuno!

[@kingbigglez4068]

I was at that show and while they were all awesome I left feeling that Nuno had stolen the show. He was humble yet oh so amazing in his playing. I admit I have been a long time extreme fan but he killed it this night. I hope they do another tour it was an awesome night. Very cool to see it again on you tube several years later! Wow!

[@DarkSideOfDisney]

I agree!

[@tresdedos1450]

Great, great guitarist, can t he is underrated as he is....such talent

[@005connect9]

Rarely is his name when mentioned when talking about the greatest rock guitarists of all time...it always blows my mind when guys of his caliber don’t get the praise they deserve. NUNO SHREDS🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@umyes5246]

A true musical genius. Excellent excellent excellent

[@matthennagersguitarlessons]

[@KLW50ish]

I was there! Awesome show!

[@c-sav5189]

How old is this guy? I am 48 and was listening tk them in high school, and he is AT LEAST AS GOOD as he was then. Simply Amazing

[@masterspin7796]

Incredible!..It's amazing how a guy can dedicate his life to playing guitar I also play, but nothing like this..

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

I love Nuno, but I couldn't help but watch the bass player!! You gotta be a monster on the bass to hang with Nuno!! Most impressive!!

[@muhammadjefrijamaludin5946]

Awesome!

[@user-fb2jb3gz1d]

Man, that tone.........is awesome

[@DatAnydex]

If only some people knew how difficult that playing is. I'm not sure how he maintains technique and control holding the guitar so low, except he seems to have long arms. Amazing.

[@brunosampaio2399]

I was always envy of players who can play that good with the guitar almost on the knee level, guitar hero style. I was NEVER able to do that, no matter how hard I tried! :)

[@amensor5653]

Another magician....

[@mickdonnell7077]

Awesome!!!!!

[@kellyelrington5663]

Sweet guy. I met him in Sydney years back with his then wife Suze. Both cool people. Can't believe how little he is. He jammed on stage that night with Suze's band The Baby Animals...glad I was there for it.
