I played 'peacemaker die' as part of music showcase back at school in the 90's. That was a workout. Still can't get the Warheads solo to this day. The All Automatic solo is off the charts.

I actually met Nuno Bettencourt 15/20 years ago when he was doing a gig with Population 1. He is not only one of the most talented guitar players i have ever seen, he is also very humble. I was there with a bus full of guitar students, somehow Nuno picked up on that and near the end of the gig he started inviting people on stage and it turned into a jam session.

Midnight express is epic some of my favourite guitar work from him he’s amazing thankfully have seen Extreme live and perform the whole of pornograffitti

Nuno is definitely one of the best rock guitarists of all time. Amazing solo.

The video for Rise seems to be going quite well. Most rock bands has to be happy with 100.000 or 200.000 views in total (on youtube). Extreme is already way beyond that. Cool for them!

Nuno changed how I viewed playing when I hit 14 and heard III Sides to Every Story. At the time I was primarily just a metal player and didn’t stray outside of just running scales all day, but learning Nunos style took way more feeling and freedom, proud to own an N4 and see they’re still rocking after all these years!!

It's harmonizer fading up at the end of the solo. And yes, the muted really fast low riff he was doing in the solo is something he does a lot. "Peacemaker Die" solo is one of many examples

Nuno is still amazing. Gary has aged, but he still has his Boston influence in his vocals, definitely closer to Steven Tyler than Scott Weiland.

This sounds more modern than I’m used to Extreme sounding, but it still has all the elements of what makes Nuno one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

I sense a bit if not A LOT of jealousy … they have been doing this for a long time. Pretty sure the mix is spot on to what they want, which is the classic Extreme sound .

In case no one else has mentioned it, Gary is 61 years old, not 56.

I’m sure tons of comments on this, but Nuno has done this before and it’s been awesome every time. This reminds me most of his solo for Peacemaker Die off of III Sides to Every Story. There’s no delay and it’s all alternate picked, which makes it all the more insane. He’s using open strings in the sequence to create these wide open intervallic jumps. So killer. Edit: it’s not all alternate picked. I’m completely wrong here. Saw the videos of him playing the solo and he’s definitely using a lot of legato. Still so killer, though.

A year on, love listening to many to who thought Nuno “was cheating again with a delay pedal like ‘the flight of the wounded bumble bee’…” Nuno just doing his open string, wide interval licks he has always done. He is indeed the 👑

Excellent song, nuno still has it, and the leads in nuno's playing are incredible. Kudos to Extreme.

I would totally watch you and Ben Eller going over Nuno's riffs for a couple of hours

Interestingly mike, he doesn’t use a massively high output pickup. He uses the Bill Lawrence L500XL. It varies between the three manufacturers who make the same pickup and claim it’s theirs but assuming it’s the Bill And Becky model which was very popular with guitarists in the 80’s then he has an output of about 13K to 14K on his bridge which is higher output but not high output; I’d put it on the upper end of medium heat. So I’d agree he probably compressed that tone and he probably uses a distortion pedal through his amp’s higher gain channel.

Better than expected? Have you not seen this guy's body of work, or seen him live? He's an absolute beast! 🤘🤘 Worked for many, many huge names in multiple genres, not just Extreme... Always allowed to be himself because top tier recognizes top tier... Nuno, seemingly effortlessly, pioneers very advanced techniques with an authentic feel that is almost unmatched. He's probably the best rock guitarist since EVH. When you hear Nuno, you KNOW it's him. I'm not a huge fan of Gary, but that's ok, he's reasonably good. You should bone up on his catalog, it's amazing. 🤙 Edit: love Ben, but this "flying grasshopper" technique is beyond him at this speed. I would love to see him break down the muted legato and string skipping on this complicated pattern, though!

This is the first (maybe only) critical review I've found. I agree. Nuno says this was an EVH tribute album, and it seems so. Nuno brings musicallity and fresh innovation solo and demonstrates that he had new tricks that I don't think EVH had in his bag.

Best reaction I've seen by far (in other words, you echoed all my thoughts lol)

Nuno has always been in my top 3 and I am at song 4 of Porno, trying to record and cover the entire album, all guitars. This is Par for my man, I love the tune and can't wait for the rest. His trick in the solo I think is similar to Flight if the wounded bumblebee. It's a delay trick you can do with a little practice. Mike from "the art of guitar" did a great vid on it. Maybe it's not the trick but I think it is.

That tapping is something Nuno does from time to time. 3 sides to every story (the album), has some examples.

Would've loved you to finish analysing the ENTIRE song past the solo

1st video (are they still called that? ... God I'm old) that I've watched from this channel and I'm quite pleasantly intrigued and surprised by its objectivity and apparent lack of any agenda. I am going to have a clear out of my subscriptions to make more room for this, and similar more deserving channels guys. Nuno ... Incredible player. If there was ever a VH tribute in Eddies honour then ...? Well he's in the running guys no? Anyway, if your other vids are as good as this one? ... I'm in!!! 😎

Pat Badger is completely missing on this track and as a bass player i know he's too good a bassist not to be heard. I can only guess Lars Ulrich must have entered the studio and mixed this.

Always loved their song Hole Hearted

When Eddie Van Halen passed Nuno made the decision "someone's got to carry the flag for guitar, I'm not saying I'm the guy, but I'm gonna do it." With Eddie gone, especially for us old fuckers... Nuno is the guy. As far as the arpeggio section...someone has already figured it out kzread.infoJvstNNSrMSA?feature=share

Do you know what this reminds me of?....It reminds me of Jarvis Cocker standing in front of a masterpiece of art work with fellow fine artists...they come out with some technical descriptions and superfluous adjectives, which add nothing to the appreciation. Jarvis Cocker, who is a very able lyricist and fine artist, looks at the painting and says.."well I just reeeeaally liiike it." I'll take Jarvis's approach any day. What does it do to your mood and your heart? ..it lifts it. Music is more than production...the best way to experience it is live and Extreme are masters on a live stage.

I feel like they’re going for a modern priest type sound. I could see this being on a new priest record if it were tuned a little further down.

That's his thing. He's rolling his right hand picking, like when you scramble eggs, hammering on and hitting an open sting that duplicates the note he just fretted or that he's going to fret. Does the pull off to open string, matches open string note with fretted note giving that delayed, repeating sound ascending & descending. Very wierd to get used to playing at 1st. You stumble a lot expecting to hear something that you're not. Hard to explain. But once you get the grooving down you can flow up and down the neck and gives a repeater effect. Does often on his live acoustic solos

Right, he does that on multiple songs - Li'l Jack Horny and Midnight Express come to mind.

That backing vocal hook you like, I liked too until I remembered why. It was because they lifted it from Ke$ha's "tik-tock" song from again the 2010s.

Sick bro

The second half of that solo is distinctly Nuno. You can hear that fast dotted-eighth delay trick in, well, Flight Off The Wounded Bumbleebee, most obviously. But he also puts it in the interlude of Peacemaker Die. Personally, I wasn't crazy about this song. I also found the main hook and vocal melody to be too basic. I don't want my Extreme to try and have a more relevant sound - I want all classic quirkiness. But truly when the second half of that solo hits ... its classic Nuno! I'm looking forward to what they do with the rest of the album (if maybe this first single is the most straight ahead rock banger)

Everything you said was fucking on point. Nuno definitely executes on his guitar. Very reminiscent of Ronnie le tekkro of TnT.

Mike, good video and maybe react to more of living legend Nuno. The porno album is full of amazing guitar and song work. A ton of range and different styles throughout

I'm happy that the Rise solo has gotten Nuno and Extreme some notice - and that they've been on a great tour based on it. But this is a long way from his best solo. Not even close. The fast muted part - which is really the bridge after the solo - that has grabbed everyone's attention, is a technique that Nuno has previously used on during the solo for "Peacemaker Die" from their third album. There is no filter, he's just playing by fretting the open string and then hammering-on while muting in very fast triplets. He also uses it during the acoustic song "Midnight Express" - but if you actually listen to the solo itself, starting with the tremelo picking - which is obviously and ode to Eddie - what he plays after that until the muted part isn't that special, or even interesting. It's a few squeaks and squawks with a couple speed licks. The new song of there's that actually impresses me, because it has a totally new bass and guitar tone that actually comes off like a keyboard riff - but it isn''t - is "Thicker Than Blood" which totally SLAPS. I lost my mind when I heard that live.

When the vocals come in it reminds me of STP or maybe Velvet Revolver.
