Nuno….

He’s one of the rare ones with such a long career, who still goes out and plays like he’s got something to prove.
 
I remember going to see Extreme when they were still an opening act around 1990-ish. All I knew of them at the time was "More Than Words" because it was all over MTV, etc.. I remember thinking "man, these guys suck!", thinking they were some kind of acoustic "lovey, dovey" band.. Well, I couldn't tell you who the main act was that night (maybe Winger :ROFLMAO: ), but I remember Extreme. Holy Cow! They opened with "Get the Funk Out" and never looked back. Immediately went out and bought Pornograffitti and have been a Nuno fan ever since.
 
Not a fan of Extreme either but it was always apparent that he is an insanely good player. Just next level good and crazy talented.
 
I always loved this song and still sing it to myself sometimes when I get up for work. This also reminds me of Van Halen, love the song and the guitar just carries it.

 
When I heard Play With Me on Bill and Ted, as a kid, I had to stay for the credits to find out who it was.
This ^^^

I had literally just moved out to LA in Feb of '89 to start the Spring/March incoming class at G.I.T. I got settled in and went to see Bill and Ted at a weekday matinee - 6 peeps in the theater max - and literally sat through the credits to see who the band was. (See how hard we had it before the internet???) Bought the first Extreme cassette the same day and had my mind blown. Definitely got me launched in the right direction that year.
