Nuno Duarte Gil Mendes Bettencourt (born September 20, 1966) is a Portuguese /American guitarist, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He is best known for his role as the lead guitarist of the Boston rock band Extreme.
Since 1990, Bettencourt has had his own line of custom guitars designed by Washburn Guitars. His line is known as the N-Series, and is currently promoting the Washburn N4.
Early years
Bettencourt was born on September 20, 1966 in Praia da Vitória, Terceira, Azores, Portugal, to Ezequiel Mendes Bettencourt and wife Aureolina da Cunha Gil de Ávila. When he was four years old, his family, including brothers Luís and Roberto, moved to Malden, Massachusetts. Bettencourt lived on Main Street in Malden for twenty-one years. Initially, Bettencourt had little interest in music, preferring to spend his time playing hockey and soccer. His first instrument was the drums and he played them exclusively until his brother, Luís, started teaching him the guitar.
Schizophonic is the 1997 debut solo album from guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, the lead guitarist in the band Extreme. Bettencourt is credited on the cover simply as "Nuno". Schizophonic is Bettencourt's first and, so far, only solo effort after the group disbanded.
Overview
In face of the then-current musical trends, Bettencourt added an alternative rock edge to his style. Bettencourt wrote with producer Anthony J. Resta, known for his work with Duran Duran around their big comeback. The album features Restas' Enoesque soundscapes on many of the songs. Bettencourt later went on to record two records leading the band Mourning Widows, one with Population 1 (mostly recorded on his own) and then another with the same touring band but with a different name: Dramagods. Schizophonic's recording started over a stretch of time during Extreme's tour for their last studio album, Waiting for the Punchline.
Bettencourt wrote most of the songs and played most of the instruments on the album, except for "You", on which vocals are shared with co-author and former bandmate Gary Cherone, drums on "Swollen Princess" and "Fine By Me" (Mike Mangini) and "Fallen Angels", and "Note in the Screen Door", "Karmalaa", and "Severed" which were written with Anthony J. Resta. The album cover featured Bettencourt dressed as a woman and with a prominent scar on his forehead.
