Nuno Bettencourt LIVE Solo Medley & "Take Us Alive" - Generation Axe - 4/24/16 - Warner Theater, DC 

He’s not only a living legend with the guitar, he’s a complete artist and global musician. He is perfection.❤

Nuno can play anything and he does it with style and makes it look easy..... Probably the best guitarist in the world.

From about 1990 to 1993, Extreme was my favorite band. Great vocal harmonies and I heard Nuno's playing. So fluid and funky. The greater public may underrate Nuno but guitar heads know that he is one of the greats.

Nuno is the best. He has the absolute best guitar tone, very clean/lo gain and articulate. He has this killer palm mute about his playing. He’s in total control of his instrument. He makes it all look so effortless,and everything he does is syncopated. He’s definitely one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He influenced me for years,and im 48 yrs old. I can only imagine how many kids this guy has inspired. I hope he reads these comments and realizes what he’s done for the guitar community. I need to buy one of his guitars!

NUNO is the perfect combination of classical technique perfection and groovy funk. Hes so talented and fun to watch. YOu almost have to watch it more than once to pick up all the changes and styles he throws in there. but the speed and soul is awesome!

Nuno in his career wrote a lot of amazing solos. Creativity, great control and super tempo

Most underrated guitar player of all time.

This guy is the best in my book!

I watch this and I think - how is he not at the top of every "greatest guitar players" list? And yet Rolling Stone selected "Kurt Cobain" and "Dave Grohl" over this guy.

glad to see nuno around after all these years and doing so well for himself

Whoa Man!! Lost my heart at 4:26...I just LOVE this guy's phrasing!! I love to watch him play almost as much I like to listen, he is so free with his instrument. He's a joy to watch.

Few guitar players still have that energy and passion to play after SO MANY years on the road. Long live to Nuno. And the guy is like The Dorian Gray Portrait or something!

Coolest guy on the planet and an utterly insanely great musician/songwriter. If I ever had to own up to a man-crush it would be Nuno lol, he's the best at what he does, phenomenal all-rounder.

So glad to see the respect given to Nuno in these comments. He doesn't get enough of it, the dude is an incredible guitar player.

nuno bettencourt is guitar freak a total and utter virtuoso totally unique

This guy has it all. Fantastic player and genuinely nice guy. Love extreme and all the solo work Nuno has done too.

I could play exactly like NUNO if I could slow it down 99% and study it for ten years. MONSTER!!

Damn......Nuno is a Real Guitar God....he'll be up there with all the greats FOREVER.....a true original..

He is awesome, one of a kind, brilliant..and unfortunatly one of the most underrated guitarist 🤨 it’s a shame...

Love his tone..

Is there a better live player than Nuno? Geesus he doesn't miss a beat. You think Steve Vai and gang are good, then you go back and listen to Nuno and your head just explodes. Even Zakk Wylde is filming him

Absolutely LOVE it!!!! Also when Zakk whips the phone out to get some footage, great piece of artist appreciation there. Had artists do that for me in the past and when you see the footage go online its an awesome feeling!

Zakk taking notes in the back lol

Absolutely brilliant I watched this a few times and am not getting bored of it yet

Nuno and Jake E Lee two of the best guitarist ever that are so underrated

Nuno “next level” Bettencourt!! Absolutely Amazing!!

Thanks for posting this, a fantastic technical performance, plus you can tell he's really having fun!

Love stumbling across stuff like this while wasting the day away on RU-vid! I've been a big Nuno fan for years and it never gets old watching him play. Missed this tour when it came through Kansas City as I was out of the country, but had friends tell me it was freakin' awesome! Thanks for posting!

True talent. Haven’t listened to Nuno in a long time. Flawless.

Nuno, you are a true original and master of expression on your instrument. Thank you

He-man woman hater is still one of the greatest rock riffs of all time, and the breakdown of Cupid's Dead is crazy good.

Zakk is filming in the background at 4:50...How epic. :D

Nuno always has been a favorite. Fantastic player with that perfect mix of styles. Right hand is on point too. Terrifying

I watch him play and it makes me want to put my guitar collection away forever!!!!!!!!!! Fricking amazing.......

I’m so in love with this man. How does he make everything look so damn easily. One of the most rhythmic funky guitarist of all time.

Rarely is his name when mentioned when talking about the greatest rock guitarists of all time...it always blows my mind when guys of his caliber don’t get the praise they deserve. NUNO SHREDS🤘🏼🤘🏼

He never grows old!!!! An absolute player!!! Very clean playing and XTREME accuracy! ....if i can only bring back the early years of the 90’s ...

there can be only one Nuno Bettencourt

So cool seeing Zakk Wylde acting like a fanboy around the 5:00 mark

That's worth the price of admission right there

I love extreme and nuno so much...and i wish they always exist..

He's so good it's almost intimidating.

Why is this not getting more likes?? Did people really forget about what raw amazing talent mean? This man is an amazing guitarist!!

Unreal!!! Nuno is amazing!

Awesome! Thanks for the post man!!

Nuno is a beast!🤘

Nuno é o melhor de todos os guitarristas de todos os tempos. Magnífico no que faz! Bravo Nuno!!! 😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕

Saw live twice still love this song. Sold my N4 when broke.. Musically my first love!

Holy shit, I feel like I just had a spiritual experience. Nuno is the man.

This is the first time I’ve seen him play wow!!!! What an amazing player

one of the greatest .. 4sure!

God he will always be awesome, one of my biggest inspirations ever.

Only the people that really knows, RALLY knows and understand than NUNO IS ONE of the Very Best Guitar Players since he showed up in the Music Scene..... HE IS SO TALENTED AND NATURAL.

If only some people knew how difficult that playing is. I'm not sure how he maintains technique and control holding the guitar so low, except he seems to have long arms. Amazing.

those 2 runs N B does back to back at 8:30 are f*cking SICK ! (and those wild time signature riffs w/crazy accents from his ''Cupid is Dead'' arsenal completely kicked ass!) ..... a phenomenal musician that Bettencourt has become shows no signs of slowing down!

Trims buat postingannya...idola gue banget,Nuno..

hermoso SIEMPRE ME ALUCINÓ ESA MEZCLA DE CLASICO, SINFONICO Y ROCK

Fantastic - he is the absolute best !

Such a fantastic player!

There's no better compliment than Zakk Wild taking a video of you.

Great, great guitarist, can t he is underrated as he is....such talent

Incredible!..It's amazing how a guy can dedicate his life to playing guitar I also play, but nothing like this..

Haha Zakk getting a quick picture! Awesome! #RESPECT

I love Nuno, but I couldn't help but watch the bass player!! You gotta be a monster on the bass to hang with Nuno!! Most impressive!!

I was there! Awesome show!

one of the very best hard rock guitarists, carried his band throughout

Holy crap!!! Awesome!!!

man that tone!

A true musical genius. Excellent excellent excellent

THAT WAS BADASS!!!!!

He is beyond awesome.

Amazing!!

The Light Has Bless You..

Sweet guy. I met him in Sydney years back with his then wife Suze. Both cool people. Can't believe how little he is. He jammed on stage that night with Suze's band The Baby Animals...glad I was there for it.

Man, that tone.........is awesome

Flight of the bumblee at an even faster tempo?! There's only one NUNO!

Beautiful Beautiful

Wow !!! Nuno continues as good as he used to be on Extreme band. God bless you Nuno

That riff from He Man Woman Hater is one of the sickest guitar riffs to ever be played 🤘

Legend. On my top 5-top 10 all times easily.....

6:01 the way nuno waves over the bassist from the backing band thats fucking huge. amazing and beautiful moment of sick riffs and the bassist enjoying a few seconds of nunos spotlight, literally. the heat of that light must have felt so, so good love it. hes such a great person and an even better guitarist

How old is this guy? I am 48 and was listening tk them in high school, and he is AT LEAST AS GOOD as he was then. Simply Amazing

Great Nuno!

Saw Generation Axe twice, Nuno killed it both times

That intro was crazy good, damn!!😮🔥🎶

One of the very best

Awesome!

Amo o Nuno pra sempre lindo maravilhoso

He is motherfuckingly underrated.

正確すぎてほんとに弾いてんのか疑わしくなる男…いやすげぇよ

Awesome!!!!!

Loved his chops back in the guitar glory days, loved his solo stuff and still utterly amazed by such a freaking amazing guitarists today.

Super underrated, one the best

Absolue perfect. I wish, Criss Oliva was here. Guitar heros to be together. He was very fit to this stage as his creation.... Very bluesy very 80's, and full f shred. RIP.

I was at that show and while they were all awesome I left feeling that Nuno had stolen the show. He was humble yet oh so amazing in his playing. I admit I have been a long time extreme fan but he killed it this night. I hope they do another tour it was an awesome night. Very cool to see it again on you tube several years later! Wow!

so good.....

I love that guitar.

You are a LEGEND NUNO ❤

Nuno is one of the greatest guitar slingers on the Planet!!!!! The Man can play...............

Quando vão reconhecer o Nuno como um dos MAIORES Guitarristas do Mundo?
