Amir Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Was just watching the interview, and where he mentioned touring with Rihanna, I thought he looked familiar...I'd seen him at this show (don't judge me, I went with my family, my little sister wanted to go...)!: He was the 2nd best thing about it, after Rihanna's arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 For wfuckinga.... THIS is who Nuno is: He, along with Extreme eclipsed every single other act and big name on the bill that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rihanna is kinda cool and our very own Richard Fortus toured with her already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, I remember at the time hoping Fortus would play at the gig since I'd heard he had toured with her before. Remember being a bit disappointed he wasn't there but still liking the guitarist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVesper Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Obviously my first question to Nuno was Gn'r Related, what he said was that he was invited to Play but for him,and for his L.A. friends playing in a Band like Gn'r wasn't necessarily a good thing, because they didn't really play all that much, it was Axl's show, there was no real creative stuff to be done. So it wasn't a fun gig and he didn't even audition.So much better being in Rihanna's touring band I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardNixon Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Nuno's a great player, not sure how great a songwriter he is though--his post Extreme projects (like Mourning Widows) were pretty bad. Pornograffiti and III Sides were great though. Haven't listened to them in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Nuno is incredibly underrated and has amazing tone.......Extreme underrated as well IMHO...they are so much more then " More Than Words".....And Gary Cherone may not have been a good fit for VH but he is the perfect front man for Extreme.....has great stage presence........Check out the complete Boston HoB show from 2009 to see Nuno's chops Edited January 16, 2014 by RussTCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Team Brazil and Nuno would have conversed in which language? I heard about it around the time he joined Perry Farrell's Satellite Party (Nuno does look a bit like Navarro)... but I wasn't surprised he left that band.

If they had done one summer reunion tour and went "we'll see in the future" as far as new music with Dave went, the outcome would have favored VH more. Eddie was being a dick.

Agree 100% From what I have read Eddie is a dick in general so that is no surprise.............and personally, although I am in the minority, I like the Van Halen III album...............Cherone even sounds a bit like Sammy Hagar on that album...but still think he was not a good fit for VH............

RichardNixon Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I liked VH3, but I'm in a minority with that opinion. It's a flawed album--Gary's singing out of his range, the album sounds more like a demo, etc. but as Gary said, "the seeds" where there for a good album. And there are some good songs, like "Once" and "From Afar." Edited January 16, 2014 by RichardNixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Straying off topic here is an excellent interview with Cherone on his VH experiencehttp://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/gary-cherone-reflects-on-his-three-year-stint-in-van-halen-20120210?page=2I liked VH3, but I'm in a minority with that opinion.

And there are some good songs, like "Once" and "From Afar." I didn't think he was reaching too high but he does sound like Hagar on many of the songs IMHO...............

RichardNixon Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Maybe not on "From Afar," but Gary does try to sing like Hagar on songs like "Without You." Not GC's fault, that's what Eddie was pushing him to do: Really takes me back to my senior year of HS.

Not GC's fault, that's what Eddie was pushing him to do: Really takes me back to my senior year of HS.They needed someone who could do Sammy's and Dave's songs. They wanted to play songs like "Romeo Delight" and "Mean Streets" again. I think Doug Goldstein was behind David Lee Roth writing the apology letter to Axl and Baz...

yourcrazy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I actually liked VH better with Hagar. Gary really didn't have a chance, it was almost impossible for lightning to strike twice. It's really hard for a band as big as they were to change lead singers. It worked once, but fans weren't going to buy in again. Anyway, I like the current GnR lineup as it is.
