Extreme was one of the most exciting bands to emerge during the 1980s, and among the most influential groups on rock and metal. Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt is one of the most technically proficient players, not just of his generation but in the world today. But just like many of his heroes, what sets Nuno apart from the rest of the competition isn’t merely his technical prowess, although he does have some of the greatest rock guitar chops on the planet, but his songwriting, riffs, and melodic and identifiable hooks. Even in his flashier moments, Nuno has a distinctly recognisable sound that’s musical, lyrical, humorous, and aggressively fiery.
