I'm two thirds the way through and keep returning to this great interview 👍

I was watching this interview again today - and I've watched it a BUNCH of times because it's so perfect - but I got to the part where Nuno is telling the story about Eddie Van Halen dropping by his house with Gary Cherone. I think Eddie was saying his 'goodbyes.' I think he knew his diagnosis and how things could 'go left' for him quickly, and he was visiting the people in his life who meant a lot to him - people he respected. How wonderful that Nuno was one of those people! (And I can tell that Nuno really cherishes this memory.)

Dude…there has been so many great ones, but this has to be my favorite sit down that you have done. Nuno is such a great interview…so enthusiastic, so eloquent, he’s just so happy to be talking to you about music and guitar!!

@bonk2II

4 ай бұрын

I agree with you here about his enthusiasm. You can tell just how truly passionate Nuno is about everything music. From the guitarists that inspired him, the way he approaches playing guitar, the stories and history of his career, and his philosophies concerning music. He expresses an immense love when he speaks about music. When speaking about himself, you see that he speaks very confidently, and proudly about his ability, fully aware how great of a guitarist he is, but without being arrogant. He’s humble, without being overly modest to avoid acknowledging his accomplishments. But I have to say, I never thought someone could be so eloquent while dropping so many F-bombs at the same time. 😅

RocknRoll is the fountain on youth as Nuno says. There is a reason why Jesus told people to build their house on the rock, and if the appearance of these two guys is any indication as to why in despite of their age they are still youthful and excited for music, it would be their aversion to 4/4 monotony that plays a significant part I would guess.

This guy’s humility is another level!

Back in those days the shop owner would play u the first two tracks of the cassette like a trial to complete your decision. But this one was the only one available and so he said that if he breaks the seal I will have to buy it. He broke the seal, played the first song, Eruption aaannnd thay cassette was mine in 2 seconds.

You're killing it with these longer format interviews--Metheny, Sting, May, Bissonette, Lanois, Bettencourt, Lukather, and so many more! This is critical, fundamental, human-centric treasure. I'm gut-punched (in the best possible way) by the humility and vulnerability expressed across these conversations. If there's one unifying theme among their stories, it's the hard-wired drive in those artists to make music in the service of deeper human connections. Our world desperately needs a shed-load more of exactly that.

Easton is a great guitarist!!!!! Love his work with The Cars, and Creedence Clearwater Revisited!

That was literally one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Musician or otherwise. Great job Rick and Nuno!

Rick, you are a fantastic interviewer... you let these artists express themselves, ask the right questions, give them the perfect prompts. This is another great interview!

This is one of those interviews that you don't often see. This is how guitarists talk to each other in real life and you just don't see it anywhere but with Rick.

Nuno is firing on the highest level...this is the best example of an experienced person showing what they've learned in life. This is what the long journey is all about. Thank you so much for this interview!

Rick I think you should bring Nuno back, we didn´t get enough of this fine gentleman, his enthusiasm is so contagious!

Ricky really knows his stuff.and he sits there quietly ,giving his guests all the space and time they enjoy.i never miss a single interview.these musicians open up with no secrets.

In 5 simple words: Best Rick Beato interview ever! The way Nuno talk, explain and share his opinions is just.... honesty in pure form. Cheers from Lisbon!

Why is it the best Rick Beato interview ever? Oh... I see, you are only fan of rock, and a huge fan of Nuno Bettencourt

That McCartney story was brilliant! It’s like straight out of a movie 😂

Cant get enough of this interview. I'm from Azorean parents, born and raised in New Bedford, MA. Crazy how much we have in common growing up and now he's one of the greatest of this time! I was proud of Extreme being from Boston. The first time i saw Kid Ego video with the 🇵🇹 flag on Nunos Amp. on MTV was NUTTS!!! for us!!! Much respect my brother!!

I love listening to Nuno tell story's about Edward so cool. And playing the guitar.

Nuno has so much passion about music, that’s what really inspires me about him. And listening to him talk about the approach is way more meaningful that anything technical he could say.

Finally, Elliott Easton gets the nods he deserves. The solo on Shake It Up, played loud and with a little speaker break-up, is just magical. Guy is a guitar genius.

You're so right man.....The solo on Touch and Go is a masterpiece as well.

Nuno is pure soul, pure emotion, pure expression. The epitome of "for the music." The guy can't help be honest. Authenticity is infectious. So appealing. Great interview as always.

the point Nuno spoke about Queen 2... my fav album of them... i get emotional...

Met Nuno in Atlanta yesterday, easily the nicest Rockstar I’ve ever met. He couldn’t have been more kind.

Nuno's passion for music is contagious. Incredible musician and songwriter. Bettencourt and Beato, two great ambassadors of music. Great interview!

Nuno nailed it. People are starved to hear emotion channeled through a guitar, piano, set of drums. Today's computer driven music is lifeless and the heart and drive of the rhythm of the song and when the solo fits so perfectly in the context of the song is pure magic.

I’ve known who Nuno is for like 30+ years but this is the first time I’ve ever heard him speak. I wish I knew how cool this cat is sooner.

Even with the “more than words” origin story and Paul freaking McCartney experience.. my favorite part was him shredding/playing while talking music simultaneously. What a truly great soul!

In all my years I’ve never listened to a 2-hour interview with anyone, but Nuno not only kept me engaged, I wanted more. What an enjoyable and worthwhile way to spend the evening. Cheers!

humbly stated ofc, sat in on a blues rock gig I was tour drummer for few months ago in Houston TX. Despite it being one of Chick Corea’s drummers holdin it down for local bookings, not many attended but someone blindsided me after the show with a compliment I never expected, ‘did you study David Robinson?” Feverishly scanned my brain for which blues or jazz artist he played with then dude elaborated..😊 …crazy how everything we love finds it’s way into whole hearted expression.

The guitar solo on "Since I held you" is one of my favorites of all time ...

It's a long interview and I was going to watch it in bits but Rick Beato is such a great interviewer and Nuno Bettencourt is a fascinating person and musician... He truly is passionate about his art... Great interview with great people 🙂🙂

Nuno gets it. Music is about the emotion and the journey music brings to and for the listener. A great song played with emotion, can carry a person away to a place that leaves an indelible memory imprinted in one's mind forever.

I love this guy. His enthusiasm is infectious. He thinks deeply about what he plays. Great interview.

Great vibes, Nuno is clearly comfortable and willing to talk, few questions, smart questions and lots of listening. This is how an interview should be. Just great

Rick's "secret" as an interviewer is simple: natural empathy.

I've learned to really appreciate Nuno. He has a humbleness about him.

What an awesome guy! Great conversationalist. Rick was great at letting him speak which a lot of interviewers don’t have that skill. Had a blast watching this

The passion and emotion Nuno still has is refreshing and if you listen you can truly hear it in his performances 🤘😎🤘🇬🇧

And that's what great musicians like Nuno do: They inspire others!

What an all rounded humble individual Nuno is and being a huge fan - I can see that that’s what makes him such an iconic musician - guy is a kid in a candy store..

Out of all the interviews with so many great guitarists/ musicians this one is my favourite, Nuno is so humble and I knew there was something so special about him. Thank you so much Rick for keeping all the content that could have been lost to the edit. It was like I was there with all three of you.

What Rick Beato is doing with these amazingly inspirational and insightful interviews is way beyond entertainment and music journalism. Decades from now when Nuno, Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Metheny, May, Sting, and all the others are long gone, future generations of passionate music lovers will have this to complete their music education. I just love how he let these musical giants have space to be themselves, provide us with anecdotes, insights and scratch a bit behind the surface of who they are. Thank you Mr Beato, and I continue to look forward to your next episode on KZread. Please include Paul Simon on your list of interview objects. Dolly Parton too.....

Still one of my favorites for so many reasons. Massive indisputable talent aside, Nuno embodies the greatest things about what makes music so powerful. He gets it, and his passion is infectious. I hope he never loses that spark. I first saw Nuno and Extreme live, touring with Alice in Chains when they were playing small clubs over 30 years ago. To see him happy, healthy, and still producing music just makes me so happy.

@@robpaxson4455 They were great on that tour. I hadn't heard much about them at the time either, but I was impressed with them that night. There was a definite energy difference and vibe between Layne Staley and Cherone for sure though. Cherone and the rest of Extreme were animated and energetic on stage, but Layne pretty much just stood and sang in '90s grunge-era fashion. Still, AIC sounded great and made a fan of me. They definitely didn't get booed off the state by any stretch 😁

Best thing I've ever seen in a loooong time! Can't believe the quality and how it makes you feel watching these.. You feel like youre there.. Its transcending... Amazing work.. Both of you!

This is the best 2 hours of video on youtube... Such a super talent, and a fantastic personality... Great interview Rick. 10/10.

This interview will be in the archives for centuries. Nuno`s humility and grace is a much needed breath of fresh air in these times. Thank you Rick on so many levels, for what you do AND for doing it better than anyone else.

Can’t remember the last time I had an unconscious smile on my face for half of a 2 1/2 hour video. Extreme was a huge part of my college years’ soundtrack. Nuno rocks, and he’s totally a class act to boot. If only more of our guitar heroes were like him.

Nuno is one of the best musicians I've ever listened to,and a very humble person. He has always been one of my favorites keep on rocking

What a fascinating guy! I didnt know him very well, didnt realize hes one of the greats, but also that, at his level, he is still a musicians musician. He talks about everything I feel in my bones, about playing, about music, about the emotion that can be pulled from the instrument and how, in the end, thats really the most important thing. And Rick Beato is one of the best interviewers out there, not just because of his huge knowledge of the subject, but because he realizes, especially in this case, that the man has something (a lot!!!) to say, and Rick allows him that time and space. So well done...

1:27:30 Loved when Rick stayed quiet instead of pressing more about More than Words after handing Nuno the ‘57 Gibson, and just let Nuno have his moment with the guitar. Rick respectfully recognizes when a moment needs to be given. Loved this interview from beginning to end

Nuno is fantastic, and I couldn't agree more that Elliott Easton is an underrated guitarist. Loving this interview, Extreme-ly entertaining.

yeah I appreciate his hat tip to Easton, very underappreciated melodicist. like Ace Frehley, solos that fit the song, and you can whistle them.

ok, just one more: I can't put down in words how inspiring this is. Not only for making music but for life as a whole. Thank you, Nuno!

It is an absolute pleasure to hear someone talk about music with the amount of passion, love, and reverence that these two men do. These two get a great story when it's all said and done.

Nuno has so much spirit, soul and fire in him that I actually had a hard time breathing getting intoxicated by his enthusiasm. I'm exploding... ❤🤯
