Nuno...

He deleted all his posts in this thread, which was reasonable. This looks like a type of mental collapse typical of a certain Mr R that we all know...

Hey, man, I apologized and will take my beating for it. That was totally uncool of me. Had the day off and between swimming and a LOT of Jack and cokes, I acted like a complete jerk and that's just not me. Sorry about that, dude. Not sure if you or PaulyC got my apologies over PM. Peace, man!

You should drink the Jack & Cokes first THEN go swimming.

At about the 40 minute mark he flips off the lead singer and then yawns doing his solo and mouths "boring". Great player who is devoid of any class.

I think u missed the joke lol. Gary sang "then comes nuno in a Baby carriage" then nuno gave him the finger. And I'm sure the crowd was impressed with the bored look and yawn (kinda like Jason Becker and the yoyo). As far as anything else that's said in this thread regards to him being a douche I can't comment as I've never seen it but I'm sure it's true.

Before that he looks up at Gary climbing and is shaking his head and then turns to the crown and does the . Then he after that flips him off. I think it's pretty obvious he's not happy with him doing that.

The yawn is classless..... sorry.

Love Becker but the yoyo was silly as well.

The middle finger and gestures at Gary and the yawn thing are part of his shtick. He's done variations on those every time I've seen them. I take it as all in good fun between him and his bandmates and can see how an outsider/fan who doesn't get his ultra-sarcastic sense of humor might read it the wrong way. Can't comment on how he is as a human being but he's been a major influence on my playing over the years.

I was typing a similar comment earlier at work today but got busy and never finished the thought...but yep, totally agree, I've seen him do the yawn "stage" move before, both live and on vid clips of shows (I'm sure if you watch enough YT clips you'd see it again in fact), and you'll note, he seems to do it when playing difficult passages, as if that part is a breeze for him and he's unimpressed with himself for wanking or something - def part of the performance IMO and not a shot at Gary for his antics. He could be a douche, he may be cool and down to earth, not for me to judge, just admire his skills.
