OT: Nuno Bettencourt appreciation thread

[J the TyranT]

Saw one about Inferno, so, Im adding one about Nuno.

This dude never ever gets enough credit for being a madman on the axe...

I messed around with some of his riffs and licks... and dear god man... he deserves some fuckin credit.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Got a link?

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

It's true, he's great.

My second guitar was a Washburn Nuno Sig.... I wish I never would have got rid of that thing....

 

[J the TyranT]

A link? Uhm.. the stuff on youtube pretty much sucks.... he played with Extreme... DramaGods... bunch of bands.

YouTube - Nuno Bettencourt Solo - Beacon Theater NYC 1993)

He's better than these videos, though.

Are you joking?
I think everyone who's into guitar knows that he's a monster on the guitar, even Malmsteen said that he can shred faster than him ahaha
besides "speed bullshits" he's absolutley a great guitar player with a lot of feeling on the instrument! great phrasing, great melodic sense.
He was and he is really the new Van halen.

Fuck! that guy deserve respect among all rock people around the world.
Come on grab a rifle and kill someone! if people around you don't like him they deserve to die.

 

[DramaDude]

Hi Everyone, I'm new here.

Yeah, he is very talented guy.

FYI, Nuno is currently working with Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction and Porno For Pyros) on a new project called "Satellite Party" that comes out on Sony/BMG worldwide -- should be out in April/May.

Also, check out Nuno's current band, "DramaGods," at myspace.com/DramaGods (check out the free downloads) or check out their website when they launch it this month at DramaGods - Love

For all who like solos -- check out the solo on "Nice To Meet You" on the myspace site.

Spread the word, spread the music, spread the LOVE.

Peace

DramaDude from DramaGods Mission Control

Whoa... weird... who told him there was a sudden Nuno thread? Or do you already come here and look?

Tell Nuno he needs to come hang here with the other rock stars like Colin Richardson, James Murphy and of course, Andy Sneap.

That'd be cool.

I love the solo of "Get the Funk Out" (goddamn, that guy covers it almost perfect: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jVnKwwueSD8 )

 

[Where She Wept]

I liked his tone on "waiting for the punchline". I read he used a Fender Vibrolux, which is uncommon for rock and metal guys. It was very clean and kind of refreshing.

 

[FULLMETALSPEEDO]

Finally, I can come out of hiding. My buds always make fun of me because I have always liked Nuno. Definatley one of the most technically proficient players in music today. Not to mention the guy can fucking shred so fast he peels paint off houses and doesn't even break a sweat.
