    Such a great human being, love this guy. I always have reaper open when i'm jamming because something will catch and you got to get it. It's so much easier now. My phone have scraps that i've had to get down on my way to work, just trying to twang out the guitar parts with my voice. When that inspiration hits, you gotta go with it or it's gone. Not just with music, life is like that too, in most things. Great interview, he has such great energy.

    A 12 string resonating off ceramic tiles would be quite something. Hole Hearted is such a great song, music, lyrics, performance. All their lyrics are clever.

In the end, according to Leon, he got over it and said to George, what do you think of this take and George said that one's great, which take was that and Leon said, that was the first take. :)

    I relate to this so much. Can’t remember the last time I did a demo, I just feel like it takes the fun out of the process and my main motivation for making music is enjoyment.
    I think that’s why some music doesn’t hit the same way nowadays, because it’s refined to within an inch of its life and sounds more like a product than a piece of art.

    Yeah! I think its quite clear Nuno improvises Albums, no question. If existing chunks reappear from his mind during his playing, there should be no problem. you´ll find these lydian E/D Business and modal pedal point in the song writing tool kit from ABBA and JS Bach to Zappa, so c´mon. It´s a harmonic tool. Great to see Nuno talking about the process as I was blown away with Extreme I. THX to you both!! I like the statement on capturing the initial emotion above perfect recording technique and the discussion on a producer´s role.

    God, it makes me feel so much better to hear a legend like Nuno put into words something that I've sort of always done and thought. There's been so many times when I recorded a demo, re-recorded the "final" song, and ended up going back to keep parts from the demo. Sometimes you just nail a part when you're not even trying. I find that a lot of the times, the more you "try", the more stiff it ends up feeling. it's really hard to explain, but musicians know exactly what I'm talking about. You can hear/feel the vibe somehow when you go back and re-listen. The strangest thing but these little things are what I love about making music. Rock on🤘🏽

He can actually straight kill it. So underrated. If he'd been a replacement for a major band everyone would be bowing down. I just don't know how they ain't as big as van Halen or any band. I mean if poison can be that huge then extreme should been bigger.
