mathman Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Yes! I found this song a few years after buying Punchline. Seems to have never been released or on a b-side or something. Any way, amazing song.
bubs_42 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 @Mathman great song, Nuno is a killer player and not just a shredder. Jason Becker was another guy, that I was taken back when I heard him really pull back and play tasty rhythm on DLR's Album.
DaveL Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 He’s great, they’d been around for years but once they got nuno, they became major label worthy Very quickly. Once saw them open for faster pussycat just before their first extreme album came out. They Blew the pussycats back to Stone Age.
Toadroller Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Ooh, he has a guitar poncho! Enjoyed Extreme back in the day.
Jeff R Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Man, Nuno was/is the total package guitar player IMHO. He can fucking play anything, any genre, any degree of ease or difficulty. He sings well, he plays keys, he even looks the role and looks good doing it. His soloing is technical, creative and even his lightning fast shit is melodic. His rhythms are even more impressive - clean or dirty, he's just as rock solid as they come, and he is a MASTER of using dead air as effectively as actual notes. Think about that shit - that in itself is as diabolically sick as dick cancer.
RobB Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I dunno, Jeff. I can't think of many things sicker than dick cancer. When I worked at Washburn, Nuno's tech came by the shop to do some business. He said that Nuno had just gotten a nose-job, and that the crew was calling him, "New-nose." Ya can't make this shit up, I tells ya...

Multi-faceted and multi-talented to the Nth degree. He was one of those players that constantly had me saying, WTF did he just do there? While I was a lil' disappointed, after he gave up the whammy bar, he still impressed the f--- outta me and that's saying a lot.

Just freaks, those two.
FrettyMcgee Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Talk about a ringing endorsement. @ 12:32 Nuno lights it up with Nancy Wilson. I'm jelly. AND....the fucker still looks like he did 25 years ago.....
DBraz Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I have seen Nuno live a handful of times with Extreme. Every single time I come away thinking WTF?! The guy is an absolute genius guitar player with impeccable feel, timing not to mention insane speed. He also carries a rawness with his sound that hits you like an ice pick in pneumatic hammer.
