@@realledbetter5015 In my opinion Nuno is a much better songwriter/musician than Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen was one of the fathers of shredding and had huge amount of great rock songs and albums (IMO especially with Sammy Hagar), but I think Nuno is on another level. He had these proggy/jazzy/funky influences that meant his material was more diverse. Of course that also meant his songs were more "difficult" to listen to, and that III Sides ended up not appealing to such a widespread audience, compared to what Van Halen usually did.

Extreme's performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert was amazing. And touching. It was clearly a labor of love, respect, and homage. It takes some cahones to do that infront of Brian and Roger. I was never a big fan of their music but I hugley respect their talent. They could do pretty much anything.

It's curious how the band got only one super massive hit, and it sounds nothing like the rest of the album. By listening to "More Than Words" alone, you don't even get the notion the lads are a heavy rock band, you don't even get the notion that Nuno is particularly remarkable on the guitar (the single version does cut off the fancy shreddy guitar bit), and it does not even sound like a more stereotypical rock ballad, more like Everly Brothers/Simon & Garfunkel stuff. I remember I was so surprised. I bought Pornografitti without knowing anything else other than their set at the Freddie Mercury Tribute. Blown away by the guitar work and their overall sound.

What struck me seeing them live is how damn good Pat Badger is, both on bass and his backing vocals. Nuno is just astonishing! And Gary has the energy of a man half his age (he's around 60 years old). This single is brilliant and I can't wait for the album in June. Thanks for the video Justin.

Thanks Justin for doing this! I always assumed, that Extreme and especialy Nuno may be a huge influence to you. Love them. You have to love the intensity in his playing. In a world of cold, dead and lifeless techy guitar stuff without any dynamics at all this song hits like a alien stomping everything else.

Enjoyed this! Absolutely love Extreme. Nuno is such an immensely good musician! Also I’m a massive fan dude. I remember seeing you guys play Leeds fest on Sunday afternoon when I was like, 15! Best show that weekend. Learned all the songs and solos off permission to land! Love what you do man ❤️

Been waiting for this for so long, it's brilliant, the solo is ridiculously good, can't wait for the album. Extreme have always been underrated and largely misunderstood in the mainstream. Been a major fan since the beginning.

The intro of that solo is such a huge Eruption homage ❤️❤️❤️Sooo excited about this! Imo Waiting For The Punchline is the best guitar album ever, and to me it sounds like this album is gonna be everything Saudades wasn't ❤️

Great Praise from one awesome musician to another. Agee with everything said here..Rock isn’t dead!! This album has been anticipated for so long and this first track shows the the wait was worth it. Should be a great album..Nuno has said that one track does not define an album (maybe a Pornograffiti reference) so the rest of the album should be pretty diverse and special. Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves JH

@@mikeimpressionsreviews9831 Thanks for the tip, I’ll have a listen! 🥰

Yus!! Nuno is top 10 for sure…. Top 5 in my books. Love all your reactions, keep up the good work Justin! P.S. I think I am I Ever Gonna Change is probably my fav Extreme song

Just watched their performance at the Freddie tribute concert. It's absolutely amazing. Thank you Justin. Need to explore their back catalogue. Brilliant!!!

You're in for a treat. Indeed, you're in for a number of treats.

Anybody who heard Nuno back in the day knew. We just knew. His modern 'resurgence of form' is nothing new to us. He has always been one of the best ever. However, I am glad that the kids today are hearing what he and they are capable of. I wore an extreme cassette out rewinding it constantly on get the funk out. Nuno sits on the thrones reserved for only the greatest guitar Gods.

Awesomeness!!! Had no idea they had released a new record... absolutely f**king awesome!!!

Extreme fan since I saw bill and ted’s excellent adventure in the theater and heard play with me as genghis khan demolished oshman’s sporting goods! This song rocks and encapsulates everything great about extreme and has a very cool muse Stockholm Syndrome vibe in the bridge with a face melting solo indeed.

Wow! Thanks for putting me onto this as I did not know they were back! Longtime fan of the whole Extreme crew!

I so love you’re reality with this stuff. ❤ You have a legion of musicians following you imma sure.

Love Extreme, and Nuno was one of my absolute heroes when I started to play. Just a really great and talented band.

Nuno is one of few guitarists who still surprises me. Fantastic!

His right hand technique and tone are awesome!! Always loved his use of compression and delay too.

Thanks Justin great podcast I've played all my life, and Nuno is simply amazing

Gary is honestly one of the top 3 stage performers I've ever seen live. The only ones I might place above him are Prince and David Lee Roth. And yeah, that percussive "bumblebee" style playing in the solo is one of the coolest things I've ever learned from Nuno's playing. Definitely one of the most creative players of our lifetimes.

Could not agree more about DLR and Prince. Never seen Extreme live. Sound like STP.

I absolutely loved Extreme when they first emerged in the early 90's. I remember that I was about 15 years old and in the 10th grade and I always looked forward to hearing "More Than Words" come on the radio. I do agree with Justin that they would have been a bit more successful had they released their first album and single a few years earlier. They were definitely overshadowed by the grunge bands (namely Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and STP) who were widely popular at the time.

Nuno has always been in my top 5 string slingers 🔥🎶🖤🎶🔥 Extreme is just that Extreme Vocals, Harmonies Groove & That Solo knocked me over Wow Extreme does it Again 🔥🖤NUNO 🖤🔥 Thank-you. You made Eddie smile .....xx

Dude! this is the second time you have brung my awareness of awesome songs in the music ether. First one was your Tyler Childers video, loved the song and ventured further into other songs produced by the artist to find an array of amazing music! And now this! tbh I did hear the song on Planet Rock radio but didn't know the artist and I am so glad you pushed this video live to give the music the positive credit they so rightly deserve, who says rock is dead....long live rock and roll!

Sadly the licensing fees for doing cover tunes have gotten stupid expensive.

Listening to the first part of that solo, I could be listening to the ghost of EVH. Nuno’s captured that legendary brown sound perfectly. What an incredible tribute to Eddie. Intentional or not, it moves me to tears and I can’t stop listening to it. The second half of the solo is all Nuno and what a f’n ride THAT is! 😲🥹

Nuno is unreal. So excited to see him here in Cleveland tonight February 3, 2024.

Been bouncing between the video and an extreme album on my phone, it’s so heavy for them, it’s sounds like they hit the deep button on the amp. Can’t wait to hear more! Interesting post, thanks!

Justin, would love to hear your thoughts on Stereophonics' Kelly Jones. Arguably one of the greatest singers in modern music, yet one of the most criminally underrated bands around.

Loved Extreme! Got to see them live once, great show.

Just when you think you’ve heard it all. Nuno comes out with something fresh.
