Extreme Is Back: Nuno Bettencourt’s Guitar Solo Will Knock You On Your Ass

What artist or band should I highlight next?Opening music by Witch of November  If you thought Extreme was just that one band who sang "More Than Words," you need to stop right there. Their new album Six is absolutely crushing it, and Nuno Bettencourt's guitar playing on the single "Rise" is the most insane guitar solo of 2023. Seriously, go listen! PJ Pat breaks down the Rock Fusion Magic of the band, their legendary comeback, and why frontman Gary Cherone wasn't set up for success in his wild year with Van Halen [05:34]. He talks about Nuno's "dry tone" secret [08:59], how the band crushed their set at the legendary Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert [07:22], and the drama surrounding Gary Cherone joining Van Halen for the Van Halen III album. Plus, Nuno drops some seriously deep wisdom on how they survived the excesses of the '90s rock life [11:09]. Spoiler alert: they're not doing this for you, they're doing it for them!
