Rhianna on Jonathan Ross

[JaymzDead]

Who is old enough to know who her lead guitar player is?

At the risk of admitting my age, the first shot made me think 'oh no, whos got the nerve to play a Washburn N4, thats terrible' then realised it was actually Nuno Bettencourt, looked like a geniune member of her band to me rather than a guest player, guess everyone has to make a living though. Bit ridiculous he still paints his fingernails black though.

Funnily enough i listened to some old extreme stuff a while back and didn't think it had stood the test of time well at all. First album was the best though.

He is a legit member of her band for her current tour - but that's it. He's not there under any 'guest appearance'.

Yeah, not sure what it was about the performance that made me think he wasn't just guesting. Interesting that he's now doing that though. Didn't he have a small solo career a few years ago? (I'll still never like the N series guitars though)

Just watched it youtube, nice to see Nuno out doing something. Thought Rhianna's vocal was very average, barely in tune for most of it, but she looked fabulous as always...

It's great seeing Nuno on UK TV. I'm still a big fan and the new extreme album is great.

You don't like the N4? I love them personally but they can be a bit hit and miss. Goods ones are awesome!

I think most viewers were more interested in her dress...

[Don1]

I always wanted an N4...

It was Nuno, like everyone here I was surprised. He had a little project called Population One, not heard any of it though. I was lucky enough to catch Extreme last year on the 24/5th of November and they busted out a Queen medley (look on youtube) as it was the anniversary of Freddie's death. It was a top notch gig. Whole band was just on it.
