"Hey all... Nuno here. I wanted to share some news with you... A friend and Music Director, Tony Bruno, reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in playing guitar with Rihanna. Rihanna is a regular in the Bettencourt-house playlist... And as much as I dig her as an artist... my first thought was that there isn't a whole lot of guitar in her music and therefore probably not the greatest fit for what I do. But before I had a chance to verbalize that thought. Tony said, "before you say anything let me play you the direction she wants to go live." And when I heard it... I said wow, this rocks. it's heavy and funky... and it hit me that this is MY shit... this is my style... how I love to play... I got very excited at the possibility of playing some of her great songs with a heavier treatment. When I asked Tony Bruno why?... he told me that Rihanna loves bands like Paramore and Linkin Park and loves to push it up a notch or two live in the rock department. Hmmm... le
t me think? Touring and sharing the stage with a cool and talented artist like Rihanna... and being able to bring what I do passionately to the table as a musician and performer...? IM IN! And having finished the first round of rehearsals... it did not disappoint. Even better than what I expected because she also has the most incredible band, and I get the privilege to add to their wall of sound. It's gonna be fun. Come see and hear it for yourself!
Nuno
And BTW... No... this is NOT the end of Extreme. We have a live DVD and CD coming out in early 2010 and we will be writing new material throughout the year. We had a great run across the globe on Saudades do Rock....and we'll be back. "

Sim sim, até porque Linkin Park e Paramore é TOTIL PUXADO! : |
Epah Nuno, deixa te de enterros, és um excelente musico, manda te para outro projecto ou continua nos Extreme.
O ano passado fui ao coliseu ver Extreme. E que concerto meu Deus!! Aquele homem é mesmo um virtuoso da guitarra e ponto final! O hino adaptado a sua maneira foi algo que jamais esquecerei!!
Ele sempre foi dado a estas colaborações com outras artistas femininas. Ja o tinha feito com a Lúcia Moniz e agora com a Rihanna...
Não sei ate que ponto ele terá espaço para mostrar o que vale. Uma coisa é certa muita gente vai começar o conhecer este gigante da guitarra!!!
eu q tinha o Bettencourt em boa consideração... mas enfim, a crise anda aí não é? até os grandes músicos precisam de largar alguma dignidade para ganhar algum extra =/
"nd it hit me that this is MY shit... this is my style... how I love to play... I got very excited at the possibility of playing some of her great songs with a heavier treatment."
BULLSHIT
"Touring and sharing the stage with a cool and talented artist like Rihanna... and being able to bring what I do passionately to the table as a musician and performer...? IM IN!"
BULLSHIT
enfim...
Em relação à Rihanna isso já não é uma novidade visto que nos anos 90 ele já tinha feito o mesmo com a Janet Jackson.
«And BTW... No... this is NOT the end of Extreme. We have a live DVD and CD coming out in early 2010 and we will be writing new material throughout the year. We had a great run across the globe on Saudades do Rock....and we'll be back.»
Oh yeah, assim estou feliz
