What a wonderful listen, some great questions and lots of fun stories! Well done!
Hi Brad – Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You don’t work “with” Nuno Bettencourt, you work for Nuno Bettencourt, and the sooner you figure that out, the happier you’re going to be and the better the record is going to sound – it would be best just to leave him alone in a studio and let the mad genius work. 🙂
Easy Sebastyne! Holy Nuno abscission much?!! Yes they worked together! And yes Bob worked for Extreme,Thats just common sense! Grow up! Bob was a massive part on how those albums turned out! Now go back to your wall filled Nuno bedroom and take a time out!
From the inner sanctum: The problem with Nuno, in case you haven’t noticed, is that when you leave him alone, you wait 15 years for a new album 😉
Just went back and listened to this one. Really enjoyed it. Loved his brutal honesty. Thanks again!
Bob is my cousin Shirley’s son. He was always into music. When our Italian family had a reunion, he was our disc jockey. All he cared about was music. It does run in the family. His maternal grandfather played in a band. His uncle Danny played in a band (with Aerosmith before they were popular). He was a drummer and so it goes on. He’s a great person, cousin and friend. Congratulations to him.
