PART 2: NUNO BETTENCOURT TALKS ABOUT EXTREME'S NEW ALBUM, MEETING EDDIE VAN HALEN & GUITAR YOUTUBERS

In this episode I chat with Nuno about Extremes new album and where they are with it, the time he played Eddie Van Halen's rig, Sammy Hagar and who are some of the guitar youtubers he is checking out.

I can't stop watching Nuno interviews. What an interesting musician. He has a lot of special memories.

[@itsruinunes]

I could listen to Nuno for hours man... Even in his broken portuguese with his hard azorean accent.

[@KylieOlsson]

hahaha... me too...

[@luleetomas2108]

I know me too 🥰😘🥰😘😍

[@marchanson169]

When I was 14, my best friend called me from his girlfriend's house and goes, "check this out!" Over the phone I hear the beginning riff of "Mutha Don't Wanna go to School." I almost had an anxiety attack -- I'm like, "Where are you? I'm coming over right now!!" About a year later, that same friend went to go see Extreme when they toured with Alice In Chains. I couldn't afford to go, but he got one of Nuno's picks and gave it to me. I played with that pick until it was down to a nub. What I'm trying to say is, I'm 45 now, and Nuno's playing still fires me up like no other player can. I'm so thankful he's still around. Awesome interview!

[@iamdansimons]

Similar story. But I was 10 in 1990 and I don't remember which track it was but my Aunty was playing Pornograffitti. I made that CD my own, and would sit with cans on weekend after weekend listening, studying in full. Nuno Bettencourt is my Edward Van Halen and I'm one of the lucky ones to have met him after a show and just chat life. Talking guitar never entered my mind, similar to what he says in this interview.

[@KylieOlsson]

@@iamdansimons Great stories!!

[@FenderTeleDeluxe]

IMHO, Nuno belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of Guitar Gods. That said, I truly admire and think it’s so sweet how much reverence Nuno has for Eddie, Brian May, and his other guitar heroes. Such a great interview...thank you for this! And huge thanks for not ever interrupting your guests!

[@KylieOlsson]

ah thank you! And totally agree, he is a god!

[@renorocker64]

Here here , I totally agree with you , Very well said and i also loved his little Warren D Martini shout out too !!!!

[@jamesryder9158]

Nuno is truly amazing, he is a very thoughtful and empathetic person, not to mention a kick ass guitarist and musician, 3 sides to every story is epic!

[@sainttrollisko]

Edward Van Halen and Nuno - two of the greatest guitar players ever walked the earth and Gary played with them both

[@kickinvideo333]

Nuno would argue this but - like him - I cut my teeth on VH and Queen. He's just 1 1/2 yrs. older than me. So when I say that I remember the day I heard Nuno it was as much an epiphany as when I first heard Eddie!! I was excited and depressed all at once because he did what I was hellbent on doing - he took skill and swag and funk and swing and made that "soup" that haunted my guitar-playing journey. I was floored! But hearing him talk with his East Coast pragmatic sports fan charismata grips me like a vice because he sounds like myself and all my neighborhood friends. We talked guitar like we talked baseball. Rod Carew, Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson… they're our heroes and we played in their shadows and would've been awestruck if we found ourselves talking baseball with these guys. To me, Nuno and Extreme are to me like Queen was to them and yet we're also just giddy baseball fans obsessed with stats & equipment and historic moments at bat. Btw Extreme is sinfully ignored and under appreciated. Not a "hair band" at all, they were perhaps the last of the classic rock bands with a vision and sound identity that was unassailable by critics and record labels ✌🏼😎👍🏼

[@vitob5898]

I feel much the same... im 52. Grew up loving EVH and Queen. But I will always remember the first time I heard Nuno. And for the rest of my guitar playing life he's became my biggest guitar playing influence. And BTW... its a sin that people don't dabble (radio stations included) more into the extreme library because there's a lot of gold in there. 3 Sides is to me is like a Zeppelin album. There's so much in there musically it makes every listen different everytime.

[@willbarbero]

I've watched almost every Nuno interview you can possibly find online, and this one stands out. He seems really comfortable and relaxed, chatty and opening up. Pretty foul mouthed too which is a sign he's at ease😁I like how he speaks his mind and he's not afraid of having an opinion of other musicians instead of the usual diplomatic answers you often hear 😎

[@KylieOlsson]

That is so cool to hear Will, thank you! That makes me very happy to hear you think he came across as relaxed. And you are so right, he really did not stop swearing. 🤣

[@FeelingShred]

That Boston Aerosmith-like coolness coming out of him =D LoL

[@danielgonzaleztejedor9486]

Never heard him so talkative. So cool.

[@GordonGkko]

It has been a looooong time since I've been as excited as I am for this new Extreme album to finally come out! Can't .. freekin .. wait! Please, Nuno, let us have it SOON! 🤘🤘🤘

[@guitardave]

And we’re still waiting on that album lol! I guess it’s never going to see the light of day unfortunately, especially now he’s announced solo projects.

[@FeelingShred]

Mourning Widows, what a great band, uploaded most of their stuff in my channel (the ones I haven't uploaded it's because there were already copies uploaded to youtube)

[@lucasmlopes]

Wow, that's an amazing interview!!! Just like Eddie Van Halen and Brian May did, Nuno has influenced a lot of guitar players that came after him. Watching his interviews you see how humble and down to earth he is. Great guy e and one of the all time best guitar players.

[@KylieOlsson]

Thanks Lucas... glad you enjoyed it as much as i did!

[@thelowe6393]

I'm glad to hear Nuno mention during his first meeting with Eddie, that it was pre-i-phone. The beauty being that that was his sole experience and never had to be shared with anyone. We forget how emotionally important exclusivity is. I appreciate Nuno's deep analysis and thoughts on musical influences by our "heroes." Thanks, Nuno!!

[@KylieOlsson]

I totally agree... I always hate how getting your phone out spoils the vibe.

[@RandyJohnson777]

Nuno is a one of my favorite players. Great discussion!!!

[@KylieOlsson]

Thanks Randy... He is the King of Strings for sure!

[@TURK-yn3ge]

I've always heard that Nuno is a super cool nice guy. CONFIRMED in this interview. Great interview, Kylie.

Saw extreme at Lamour in Brooklyn on the 1st tour. Place was half empty and they played a new song called More Than Words. Great memory

[@KylieOlsson]

ha. Oh my god thats epic... to have seen them back then really must be a great memory!

[@jeannineburchett8096]

Nuno speaks with such reverence for his “ heroes “ . He’s every bit as awesome as they are !! He has a huge talent !!!

[@clivethomas2039]

What a brilliant piece of interviewing 😀😀. I could listen to him talk and play all day. Like all true greats, he's not up his own backside. Can't believe it's almost 30 years since I saw Extreme (outdoors at Ipswich Uk), still one of my fave gigs. Like Phil X, he doesn't age!

[@KylieOlsson]

Thank you Clive! And I totally agree with you, he is one of the nicest guys I've met in the industry.

The one guitar player that I’ve never seen and I grew up just a few towns over from Nuno. Release that damn album!

[@stott32]

Dweezil’s confessions is one of my favourite albums.. class. Nuno is such a wonderful guitarist- one of my major influences

[@volt8ge]

Wow! This is one of the best interviews with Nuno I’ve ever heard. Usually he’s always cracking jokes and the answer is coded a bit and half there. In this interview he just lets loose and his stories just bring you in! Fantastic! Thank you to the both of you!!! This was special.

Even though it was in front of Ed, Nuno is one guitar player that had no reason to be nervous!My god he is a monster of a guitar player!

[@JaredChristensen-hd3vx]

Brian May himself said on the 25th Ann Porno (Las Vegas) show DVD that Nuno is in a class all by himself. I agree 110%. When I think of all the guitarists I like - and they are amazing as well, Eddie, Slash etc.. this guy is the guy I think of when I think of the epitome of amazing. Since the 80's I have been fan.

[@KylieOlsson]

I actually chatted to Nuno about their Freddie Mercury tribute concert they did and he tells some incredible stories about that show and more... I'll share it soon but I think you'll like it.

[@batphink2655]

I saw Extreme at Massey Hall in Toronto in 1992 with opening band Saigon Kick,the entire show was SO good we w ent again the next night! Nuno is genius material and Extremem were phenomenal!

[@samiam3297]

Most excellent interview!. Ill never forget the day i got a small crate 210 td50 to sound like Nuno (i was learning Decadence Dance at the time) - i was on top of the world! Fast forward to 6 months later...that amp was stolen from a locked sealed alarms etc church none the less....😢 (life) never went back to that place. Thank you Nuno for the vicarious back stage moments with Eddie. RIP EVH. 😢

Nuno is the coolest guy and awesome guitarist!

[@KylieOlsson]

totally agree wit you..

[@jlg052]

How Nuno felt about Eddie is how I feel about Nuno. Torches always pass.

[@FeelingShred]

New Extreme album? Rad!! I just miss Nuno's experimental solo material, stuff he did with Mourning Widows and Population 1 still sound fresh today. Although I understand why he wouldn't be comfortable playing these songs, it must have been a really dark period for him and he must have PTSD-like flashbacks when dealing with material from that era. Understandable. At least he was able to turn all that pain and darkness into something productive and that sounds beautiful as these albums. I grew up with these albums, they helped shape me. Thanks dude

[@FeelingShred]

The songs "Fearless Leader" and "Broken" from the Dramagods album stand up there alongside Mike Patton's work in terms of sheer singing versatility and incredible vocal delivery. Really impressive stuff

[@FeelingShred]

And that synth solo on "Nice To Meet You"... can go on and on about that album...

[@KylieOlsson]

thanks for watching Mr Shred 😉

[@joes5150]

Love that Nuno mentions Randy Rhoads!

[@KylieOlsson]

Randy was one of the best!

[@kinkinmyslinky967]

Nuno has to be the closest to EVH’s overall uniqueness as a player in a sense that your sound comes from your hands and how they work in tandem to produce your “soup.” Those 2 play w/o tone knobs and get some of the greatest sounds out of a guitar. Now that Ed is gone Nuno is the new King. Nuno, if you’re reading this, hurry up with the new porno 2.0. Im fkn dying for some new extreme.

[@KylieOlsson]

💯 agree with you there

[@MarshallAmpMan]

Nuno is an excellent human being so are you Kylie!

[@davidkiefer9875]

Wow - what a great interview... he's so right about achieving your own tone. He's such a down to earth guy - so cool to listen to him. He's so real and authentic and it is so refreshing... What he says about people's chemistry together as band members is so true - every bit of it. I'm originally from New England and I used to see Extreme during the early 1980's at The Channel and Bunratty's (both in Boston) and they were incredible then... I love what he said about being able to tour when the album is released - isn't that the whole idea? Cool what he says about our generation of guitarists from the "pentatonic" Era - you have to be from then to understand but it was cool as hell... and it was a great time for guitarists... thank you for a great, great posting...

I love to just hear him speak, even though I've heard some of these stories from other interviews, but it doesn't matter.

I met him and the whole band when they came to India in October 2019. What humble and down to earth guys they are! Real sweethearts. Believe me, I prayed to Jesus that I somehow get a chance to meet Nuno and Gary and tell them how their music has inspired me. I also prayed that I somehow get Nuno’s pick. All my prayers were answered. I not just met them after the concert but also the next day at the airport. Nuno hugged me before I went to board my flight and he also gave me a new name - “Crazy Guy” 😜

"The Kiss" ? What is it? Never heard of it... I uploaded most of Nuno's solo career albums on my channel, to help spread out the good stuff for people that are not aware. I'm glad that I uploaded it because I recently lost my physical collection, so I'm relying on 100% digital at the moment.

I don't often comment on YT. I play cello, my hero is Jon Lord, and when I was young I listened to May, Page & Blackmore. Steve Morse is an amazing guitarist in my favourite band, but I can safely say that Nuno Bettencourt is my favourite guitarist, because it seems to my ears that he does more than anyone else, more cleanly and yet somehow the music and feel comes through despite the gobsmacking technique. I'll never forget becoming aware of his playing when I discovered Pornograffiti, and I often watch the Queen Medley set from 1992, the playing is so inventive and enhances great songs. Thank you for this lovely interview.

Those first 2 Extreme albums were the equivalent (I would imagine as I'm too young) to when people who love Van Halen first heard Eddie Van Halen. Id been into Rock for a few years and loved (still do) all the big hitters like Bon Jovi, GNR, Aerosmith, Skid Row, Crue, Poison etc but when Nuno turned up......wow. Me and my mates jaws dropped. Some of that guitar work in Pornograffiti is one of shear genius. I picked up the guitar in lockdown last year and I cannot comprehend how someone can make the guitar sound like Nuno can. Legend. Also, Kylie, great interview by allowing the guest to speak. Is there anything worse than when an interviewer asks a question and then either talks over the answer or answers it for the person. Thanks.

Its a long journey ahead but on the days where it isn't working I just put it down and come back a few hours later. Its gonna take time.
