Nuno Quote: "People messaging me saying Thank for bringing back Rock and Roll. I think people are starved for it" EXACTLY!! Nuno's absolutely right.

Refreshing how Nuno, as a rock legend, is equally a rock fan, and a working and learning musician. That combination makes him a unique legend as he is down to earth, relatable, and gets excited about music as an art. Thankful for all your hard work, Nuno, incredible work.

I keep telling my wife rock sucks these days because there are no more awesome guitar solos. Then this album comes out and puts the rest of the fake rock world to shame. I actually had no idea Extreme had a new album, listened to a song and actually turned it off. I gave it another try a day later and now I can't stop listening. Thanks for bringing rock back! This has to be the greatest comeback in rock history

This dude will always be a legend in my book. He's been a front row seat inspiration with me for the whole ride of my guitar playing life and I would'nt have anyone else sitting next to me. Swagger, class, finesse, aggression, beauty, hate, I can find every adjective in his playing. It's all there, every single mood I want to feel. Very proud of Nuno, I think he represents us like a fkn BOSS.

Ele é tudo isso que vc falou e mais um pouco. Concordo com cada palavra, sou apenas uma fã de guitarras e de rock, que se apaixonou pelo jeito de Nuno tocar, desde lá no começo de tudo, começo da banda. Nuno é um músico genial, ele ama o que faz, e o faz com maestria. Feliz que o Extreme voltou, por tantas músicas incríveis,pela paixão e entrega de tudo que o Nuno faz. Amo esse gato e sua guitarra mágica!👏👏👏👏

Nuno's also been working hard. He took time to get better. It paid off. Look at videos of him 10 yrs ago going to local spots in LA - just playing with great musicians. Waiting for their opportunity to come back. Nuno, documentary idea - from Hotel Cafe to Rize.

Nuno crushed that solo and he knew it from the second that he finished playing it! There hasn't been a moment like that in a video in a Long Time! I think the album is really good but, that solo is phenomenal!

Nuno is not just a master of his instrument. He can write, sing and puts on a great show. Soulful and Melodic playing? I guess "More than Words" and "Hole Hearted" have no soul? Check out his solo on "Rest in Peace" from 3 Sides. Tell me that's not incredibly soulful and melodic. Many, many more great tracks in their catalog like that one. Too many to list!

@@donwoodward7944 His writing isn't that great and his singing is decent, but not outstanding. Richie Kotzen is at least as good of a guitarist and songwriter as Nuno and a far better singer. Nuno is overrated af. And I've heard all of those songs numerous times (I own Pornograffiti on cassette - bought it shortly after it came out because it was getting a lot of hype in rock magazines and guitar magazines. I was underwhelmed), but can't really recall the solos - probably because they're not very memorable.

Nuno was trying to be so humble about his solo but we all know that he is absolutely buzzing inside that the guitar world has woken up because of it and rightly so!! Face it, when people talk about a solo that you do then you feel the results of the time and effort you took to learn and play!. Best guitarist on the planet right now and could listen to him talk all day!

Thanks for this interview! Nuno's creative process has always been very fascinating. Love the new album!🤘 I think in the era of overproduced-autotuned to the death-today's popular music and the trend where people make gazillion of superficial short videos, plus AI generated contents. Extreme's new songs are refreshing, felt so real and genuine the first time people listened to these songs. When I listened to Banshee, Rise, Other Side Of The Rainbow. I get a lot of energy, excitement, and joy.

I've thought the same thing as Nuno for a while when he said people are starved for it. Those are the same words I've said to my friends. When the younger generations get something like "rise" they flip out. Didn't even know what they were missing in life. Just like every so often over the past 20 years or so, when someone brings a guitar out on American Idol or the X factor everyone goes crazy. Like when Prince did some serious guitar playing at the super bowl and the rock and roll hall of fame ceremony. People go nuts for guitar and rock and roll. I feel that if a band like Guns and Roses came along right now with some great songs, a great lead player, and a charismatic singer, they would blow the fuck up and if three or four of those types of bands came along in the same year, two year period it would change the music/ entertainment tide and rock and roll would become the number one music genre in the world again. People born after 1990 don't know that kind of world, trust me, it was a much cooler place!
