I've been really getting into this band lately, especially III Sides to Every Story, Waiting for the Punchline, and their last album. Nuno Bettencourt is a criminally underrated guitarist, his riffs and licks are absolutely killer. They have such a kick ass combination of funk rock/metal, heavy metal, and King's X-esque melody. Anyone else here like them? Here's one of my favorites: ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

I own Waiting for the Punchline too, but it never really fell into placed:

I actually recently found ...three sides on vinyl, so I own it on both CD and vinyl now. I agree with Nuno´s playing skills. THEY ARE THROUGH THE ROOF. The man is an incredible guitarist, but the rest of the band are well skilled too. I remember their heyday and they were a pretty big band back then. "More than Words" got them mainstream attention and almost constant airplay on MTV, but there´s so much more to this band than that ballad. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Yeah, it's always sad when a band gets popular with a song that isn't representative of their overall sound at all. Their most recent album is really good as well, this song in particular: ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |
