I've met him many, many times and know many people who know/have worked with him and they all say the same thing. Now, having said all that, he is THE DRY-EST, MOST SARCASTIC person I've ever met, so MAYBE some of his BS is tongue in cheek, but I doubt it...FWIWmystixboi":1kkkvgz3 said:paulyc":1kkkvgz3 said:He's amazing...but difficult to work with and a bit full of himself. Funny Yngwie gets slaughtered for being an ego maniac and Nuno gets a pass apparently...
I think that one of the differences is that Nuno doesn't talk shit on other players... Yngwie does. He might be right, but he doesn't have the restraint(or care) to keep his opinions to himself.
For example, a concert was just announced that Exreme would be opening up for Poison and Extreme's fans went ape shit and started saying that Extreme is so much "better" than Poison. Nuno immediately posted on Facebook that he doesn't get the Poison hate. He said that Poison had more hits and sold more albums than Extreme. He also stated that he has played shows with Poison before and said that they absolutely bring a great live party on stage.
for sure... while he is one of my biggest influences, I don't think I'd ever want to meet him. I don't want to ruin it knowing my hero is a jerk to fans.
BTW, if you can find it, there's a great podcast interview with Michael Waegner. He produced pretty much every CD that nuno has been on. He said that Nuno wasn't always the way he is... maybe it was the success?
It's a cool interview if you can find it.
