Watch This While You Can...I've Put it UP 5 Times & It Keeps Getting Taken Down--Professor of Rock
12,089Up next, Nuno Bettencourt, who may have taken over as the GOAT of all guitarists, tells the story of Extreme's biggest hit, More Than Words… Nuno and Extreme were hard rock and could outplay just about anyone in their day, but it was a heartfelt ballad that took them to the top of the charts. It’s the story of a song the label didn’t want to release, and this guitar hero nearly quit the band in protest! More Than Words sounded more like a singer-songwriter classic than a hard rock showstopper and didn’t sound like anything on the radio, but Extreme fought for it. And they were right as it became one of the biggest songs of its time. But it got so big later on the band began to resent it, even refusing to play it on a big tour with Aerosmith until Steven Tyler wrote them a scathing message that forced them to add it back into their set. It’s the story of a classic from a guitar legend next on Professor of Rock.

I’m excited to bring you another episode from our series Revelations, where featured artists go deep on their greatest albums and songs. Insight you won’t find anywhere else. Today we are going to take to a finalist for the greatest living guitarist. He came of age as the 80s were ending and the 90s were beginning, and became a household name with an acoustic song instead of an all out rocker . I’m talking about Nuno Bettancourt of the band Extreme and their biggest hit More Than Words.
Up next Nuno tells us how the song was born and that he now it was something special even though the record label didn’t support it because it didn’t sound like anything on the radio at the time of Big Power Ballads and Dance Pop whereas this song sounded more like the Everly Brothers or the Beatles. He also tells us bout playing guitar on his other big #1 hit of that year. You’ll be schocked when you hear what it is. Plus a hilarious story about touring with Aerosmith and what Steven Tyler ripped the band about. Here’s the story from Nuno.
