Nuno Bettencourt is most well-known for his electric guitar acrobatics with Extreme. Heck, his dizzying guitar solo on the band's explosive 2023 track, Rise, is not only one of 2023's best displays of lead guitar acumen, it's regarded by many to be one of the best solos of the 21st century so far.
Bettencourt's most publicly visible gig, however, came with pop superstar Rihanna, with whom he embarked on a number of tours in the early 2010s, before re-joining the singer once again earlier this year at the Super Bowl LVII halftime show.
