Yes, Schizophonic was a huge influence for me. I really like this new stuff, I wish more people recognized and appreciated Nuno's songwriting talent.

I have to say that I love everything you've ever done, whether you do or not. I'm not one to sit and talk about mistakes or Extreme or any of that nonsense. Every artist has a musical and personal growth that they go through. There is no right or wrong, logical or rational progression. I respect you as a musician, though I don't know you as a person. Many of the amazing guitarists in the world grow tired with doing the same shtick and definitely want to move on and explore songwriting. I've found myself in that boat many times, sometimes being pushed by friends and peers. People don't respect a musician on chops alone anymore. Maybe that's a good thing. Pure technique is empty without the love and soul of an artist. You are that artist. You have a passion in everything you do. God bless you.

Nuno, I developed alot of my guitar chops by listening to the Extreme albums. I was disapointed with "Punchline" but hey thats just me. One thing we do have in common is our heritage. I am also a portagee, a little watered down, but still from Terceira. Now Im a guitar slinging/Dairy farmer in Southern Ca. Id like to catch one of your shows soon.

Nuno should have stayed with Extreme, what sort of person would ditch an excellent talent like Gary Cherone ?

I am excited to hear more from Mourning Widows. Where is the CD available? Hope they are touring. There's incredible talent in Nuno Bettencourt. His writing and ability has always inspired me. I don't know much about the band yet.
Hey Nuno, hope you come to Canada again soon. Check out my music if you have time.

I'd been wondering what Nuno was up to. I grew up listening to the guy play. Everyone always talks about his amazing chops as a lead player. And I agree with that. But the rhythm that this guy can crank out behind the scenes is absolutely amazing. He has been a HUGE influence on me as a guitar player. And not only as a player...but as a songwriter...Nuno is WAY underrated. And has been for years. And that's a shame.

an interesting yet tasteful sound. hit me with something i wasn't expecting.hope to hear alot more to come.maybe you could feedback the material for my band april's fool.
Extreme and Nuno's music will always be amongst the music that I classify as pure classics...too bad the alternative music invasion destroyed the appreciation for real talent and virtuosity. I believe the best days of Nuno is yet to come. Nuno my man, if you do read this, please check out my music as well...keen to hear your input and advice, since we grew up listening to the same heroes :) HAIL NUNO!
