Earlier this month, Extreme – the Boston hard-rock band featuring electric guitar legend Nuno Bettencourt – returned with Rise, their first new single in 15 years.
It had been a long time since we last heard Bettencourt really rip in the studio, and the guitar hero certainly rose to the occasion, capping the song off with a breathtaking solo that combines showmanship, tastefulness, flawless technique, and, above all, truly ridiculous speed.
