    Omg, I remember my mom buying the LP for me and the guy at store was like "you know it's kinda hard rock" and my mom was like "yeah, so what?" And then she run into Nuno in Boston and she had the guts to ask for an autograph for me and my brother 😂 She was the best. I miss her so much

A kid I used to jam with ... his girlfriend was friends with the drummers girl. It was amazing to watch them come up and finally break. Good stuff.🎸💪👍🥃

    Nuno just took me back to my first Extreme show, Paramount Theater in Springfield MA 1991. Pornograffitti had been blowing my mind since I'd bought it on release day. A friend scammed our way to the front row and my life changed. Gary was out of his mind running around (while singing pitch perfect) and watching Nuno do Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee from 5 or 6 feet away was beyond amazing. And yes, More Than Words was a great moment in the show. I loved shred guitar but still understood the genius of balancing it with gorgeous melodies over a simple acoustic riff. I know this isn't the place for a concert review but what an unforgettable show. (Danger Danger opened and i remember they were a ripping good live band. Andy Timmons was a nice guy, I met him outside earlier that day and we chatted about guitars for awhile. His solo albums are stellar;)

    At the end of this interview, the closed captioning typed that Nuno said "he (Gary) had a black guy. One shoe off." Nuno actually said: "he had a black eye." Gary would put black eye makeup around one eye as a tribute to the dog on the old "Little Rascals" TV show. Nuno and Gary loved that show. That's where "He-Man Woman-Hater" came from. It was the name of the Little Rascals' clubhouse.

I was like "What?" "Are there people booing them up front?" "Are you fucking kidding me?" But, they were great and when Bon Jovi came on, you couldn't hear shit because the place was going nuts, So, I left.
