The Song Within The Song...That's old school that only people that grew up with music from the era that he's talking about, and his peers reaching out to him came from and know all too well. So happy for Nuno and Extreme. They deserve all the accolades and attnention they're getting.
Sick interview 🤘🏼 I’m still blown away at the fact that you get to interview these legends 😱😱😱. I was blasting RISE for my co workers at work TODAY!! It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome! That's exactly what was missing for these last several years, solos working for the songs! Rise was asking for a solo like that and Nuno made a master piece! There's a lot of great young guitar players out there in their bedrooms playing amazing things but this is going back to what a rock song should be and sound like!
Great interview! Always a pleasure to see/hear Nuno talk… The new album is receiving much deserved fanfare and it’s super seeing new interviews in support of its release. Can’t wait for June and hope a UK tour is eventually on the cards.
Great interview! Thanks Derek! Your interviews are always very interesting and original. And you picked up my question about the Nele (I'm lili.coloring;), it's very cool! I just wanted to confirm to Nuno that, us Extreme fans, got the job done 😂: we said exactly what he was talking about telling people that what he does on Rise is what he has always done. And we named "Peacemaker die" for example. You can see these kind of comments everywhere. We are a big family 🤘😁 Get well soon Nuno, take care of your knee and I hope to see you on tour in Europe very soon too 🤘 Love you!
Thank you so much for submitting that fantastic question and for watching the episode! It’s supporters like you who keep the MOS wheels on the track! 🙏🎸🎸🎸
Novel guitar techniques are veritable Unicorns in this day and age. The Rise solo was one of those WTF moments in my listening/playing history to go along with Eruption, Cathedral, Yngwie, Nuno V1, Shawn Lane...and now Nuno again.
Nuno IS the greatest guitarist as of now. He really has no peer though maybe there're some that are close to him. He's a genius. In both composition and performance.
That rat thing that makes me always boosting with ds1 or od3 pedal. And now i dont like the feel and sound from any overdrive pedal for boosting. I got that from u nuno thnx for the great advice.
Love the playing but it seems the mixing and mastering has gone full Nickelback. Sht don't even sound live anymore. Everyone is hating space. {reverb} Listen to their first 2 albums...
For all the newbies or less than good guitar players, don't think you can go out and buy a Marshall DSL 100 and sound like new Nuno. Work on your chops first.
NUNO, the fact that he did this when he must have been in a lot of pain from a serious and complicated knee injury the day before. So much respect for him as a human being, apart from his guitar playing. Awesome man.
Regardless of players that can play more technical, what separates them from players like Nuno is substance, context, playing for the music/song and not simply to prove how many scales you can blast through in a millisecond. Nuno plays so tastefully and emotionally geared toward the entirety of each song that he manages to make good songs great. If you don't resonate with listeners, then who are you playing for but yourself and your ego. Nuno is cream of the crop in terms of intuition and musicality. Love this cat.
Another great interview! Nuno and Extreme are BACK and inspiring a new generation of guitarists and bands not to mention lighting a fire for guitarists like me who are passionate about guitar-based music and ROCK!!!
Nuno has the rare ability Eddie had to inspire people who have never played because of his marriage of melody and feel while looking like a rock star. There are amazing players out there, but Nuno is able to go beyond a mere curiosity because his virtuosity is somehow relatable to more than guitarists. He always plays to the song like a hard rock Elliot Easton.
Pat was a few years ahead of me in H.S. Even then - his band was good. In Boston rehearsal - where 20 bands practiced - he was n a band called PINK. He invited my band into this small practice room - wowza.
Needed a Neumann U87 with pop screen doubled through a Neve console panned L & R with noise gate & Rat pedal….😳😂 Actually, it is a bit distracting, the Beato interview was awesome! Beato had an easy interview! Nuno was very talkative!
I remember an interview 20 years ago (already !) when Nuno said that *III Sides* would someday get the recognition it deserves... and I believe this is now gonna happen, inevitably.
Extreme have realised that with the glut of music, its very easy for an album to get lost in the mire. In the old days, there was less music being released, and when a band like extreme released a new album, it was a big event. Fans followed the release news excitedly, and had to have to the album on release day. I for one , recall the excitement of dropping the needle for the first time, and pouring over the liner notes and lyrics. They have clearly tried to create that with "6" and its definitely something i would love the music world to get back to... There was nothing like it! Streaming threw the baby out with the bathwater on that one...
That was a great interview in so many ways! Bravo! Nuno really summed it up so welll as did the comment that Steve Lukather made to him , because I believe that is just about how all us old timers felt.
If you guys like guitarists who play with technique from their hands and soul, like Nuno, allow me to recommend you the work from Big Wreck's Ian Thornley. Great, great guitarist. His solos on the song "You Caught My Eye" is pure ear candy.
When the distorted guitars hit in "That Song" that has to be some of the most epic heavy sounds ever caught. I mean, I think they're quad tracked but that tone is like a benchmark for me.
@@MoreMeRecording Yeah I get your point! The song is easy and melodic, but the guitars are so crunchy. And the low tuning just adds to the heaviness. It became the benchmark Big Wreck guitar sound, as you say, specially on their first two records..
And Ian sings his ass off on top of the guitar playing. Ian can do it all. Slide, Steve Morse style ripping solos and more. Big Wreck is amazing. Not to change the subject from Extreme. They deserve the attention.
@@chrislestermusic Many years ago, a friend of mine told me "Big Wreck has its own genre; it's elite rock. You need some musical knowledge to appreciate how good they are". Well, considering how underrated they are, I think he was kinda right! I hate the term, but in this case they're really underrated. Song writjng, production, vocals... Awesome band. And yes, I deviated from the topic, Extreme is back and they sound great! These songs scream for big venues. I just learned that Play With Me was featured on Stranger Things.
Great interview! Been a Nuno fan since I first heard "Mutha Don't Wanna Go to School Today" on the radio in September 1989. I instantly knew that this was a special guitar player that I was hearing.
I appreciate Nuno emphasizing that a solo has to service the song, i.e. IT NEEDS TO (ought to) EXIST WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE SONG IT IS A PART OF. Such a solid example/tribute to his musical sense; we can all cite tunes having a "cool" solo but comes across as ego-driven and results in a disjointed product. Can't wait for June 9!
Nuno just doing what Nuno does - great riffs and kick ass solos! I think people are hungry for, and appreciative of, good guitar solos as part of a rock song again. Solos constructed over key changes, breaks, syncopated parts with the rhythm section, and a crescendo are just an integral part of an awesome song in my humble opinion. 🤘😎
Finally somebody that ask good questions from a Guitar Player Perspective, love that includes technical aspects of guitar playing, gear, personal and musical ..plus casual and funny stuff...etc great job Masters of Shred
Great interview, but that was not the 5150 guitar that was recently auctioned for $4 million. That was the Hot For Teacher guitar, which was just a back up guitar used rarely on tour and was featured in the Hot For Teacher video (but not used to record the song- that was a 58 Flying V). The 5150 guitar belongs to Wolfgang now and would never be put up for auction. If a back up guitar that EVH gave away to Alex’s drum tech got $4 million then imagine how much the 5150 guitar could fetch at auction since it was his primary guitar from 1984 to 1990.
Awesome interview dude! Cheers What a guy and player Nuno is - also pretty funny too! Early on the notes about sitting in your bedroom or online playing guitar it’s so true! Been a long time since someone’s got up as a band and writing a song and blown the roof off!
I think he’s absolutely right about playing guitar solos that are melodic and fast! There are great players like Nuno, Satriani, Guthrie Govan, Steve Morse and Steve Vai that are all perfect examples of this! 🎸 🔥 🔥
I FINALLY just saw extreme in Glenside PA. They’re every bit of what I expected live and more. The talent level is unimaginable. But Nuno has that swagger reminiscent of VH and the inflection, muting, funkiness that grooves. I could watch him play all day. A true virtuoso.
A great example of a purely melodic solo that REALLY serves the song perfectly is Joe Perry's Living On The Edge... Those 2 first lines, simple major to minor... Just perfection.
Fantastic interview. There is a fine art to conducting an interview with space for answer and also leading for more information if the interviewee is hesitant. You did an outstanding job!
Write a book! Idk why but I just never was exposed to a lot of extremes Music and so am new to being a fan of the band and Nunos playing. The Rise solo is sooo amazing. But all the playing hits! But what I’ve really been drawn to is the way Nuno talks about music and his stories. His humility and the way he explains everything is so cool and draws you in. Would definitely be cool to see a book happen!
Numero Nuno! For you new Nuno fans, check out all of III sides to every story, which is Extreme's finest hour and one of the greatest albums of all time. Every second of that album is awesome!
I use my Rat the same way low gain to tighten bass and bring in some highs running into The Dude (usually on, edge of breakup). Eveyone tells me am using it wrong., until they hear it.
Fantastic interview !! Love it when interviewer lets the artist talk ! Perfect ! Great great interview - extreme and Nuno giving rock music great boost with recent tunes 👍
'Bury those guys' ? .....'take them down' ? C'mon man 😔....Edward wasn't part of all that macho crap...Forget this 'winners' & 'losers' rubbish...That's like all the competitive ego stuff where Joe Perry refused to shake Ed's hand & gave him 'the shaft with his eyes' ...Or when Ritchie told poor Ed as an unknown player to f*ck off....Or the Jack Butler thing where the guitar is made to laugh at someone else's failure ...When Ed saw brilliant players he didn't feel threatened by them & a need to compete with them but felt INSPIRED by them. That's why ED tried to help Allan Holdsworth in his career with Warners (even if it didn't work out)....Forget my words. I'm nobody. But LISTEN to what ED said in 1984 in Guitar Player magazine & follow his positive example..... (quote) ' Now you know the basic ingredients of rock & roll, remember your playing should have feeling & taste..The goal to me is to make music,not always to play the machine gun type gunslinger stuff. To me music is about entertainment. You shouldn't be playing it to save the world or to show people how great you are... Its just supposed to make you happy, make you cry, make you get horny or whatever. If it doesn't do that, then its not music. And remember; You learn by making mistakes. Don't be afraid to try something new. If I'm thrown into an unfamiliar situation,such as playing with Allan Holdsworth, I don't panic. Sometimes I skin my knees , but most of the time I land on my feet. My Dad had a Dutch saying that puts it much better than I can: Translated into English, it means, Ride your bicycle straight through. If you screw up, KEEP GOING'. (unquote) 🙏👍
Just came across this unfortunately my unit does not move and the air just comes out the vent and thats it and the passenger side is none functional as well
