From there he goes into his Nuno King amp any old Marshall that's lying around, because his sig amps keep breaking.

There, fixed that for you

Loved Nuno since the 80s, saw the Porno tour and loved it too. Not a fan of his Phil Collen inspired squelchy compressed to buggery tone though. 

@Benson what gives you the impression his tone is compressed?  Not being argumentative, just curious. 

As far as I know, Nuno doesn't use a compressor in his rig.  His rig of late has been one of the Boss GT units for delay, reverb and for the flanger on It's a Monster, and he runs that into a Boss OC-3 pedal.  From there he goes into his Nuno King amp.  He used to use a Ratt for gain boost but, as far as I know, the Nuno amp has a Ratt built into the circuit on it - I could be wrong on this but this is what I understand from reading about the amp. 

My ears! You don't need to have a compressor in your signal chain to have a compressed tone, the type of amp you use, the valves, the way you run your master volume and pre-amp, pickups, amount of gain you play with etc.. can all add compression. Not bashing Nuno, I love him and his playing, one of the most seriously underrated guitarists of his generation.

Just when you said Phil Collen I imagine you were talking about 80s style studio Rockman tones, I don't hear that in Nunos tone. I would describe his tone as punchy and tight, especially when he rolls back his volume.  I guess the punch and tightness are probably down to power amp compression.

so the Nuno Kings are for show!?! Sneaky....  he probably does use a Rat as a gain boost.

Largely, yes. There are quite a few photos kicking around of a Marshall DSL or JCM800 miked up behind the stack. Quite often, you'll see the stack amps being switched off half way through the show.

Edit: Although to be fair that might be an emergency backup amp.

New trailer:



Amazon are now telling me it's coming out on 14th October,which is a bit disappointing.  I had the CD pre-ordered, this one, and it says there's only one CD.  On Amazon there seems to be another version with two CDs so I cancelled the pre-order and I'll wait and see.

Finally.
One of the best live bands of all time.
Nuno is still absolutely on it.

Anyone got the Extreme Pornograffitti tab book by Hal Leonard?  It's probably one of their worst books, so many mistakes and impossible fingerings.  I have a Japanese transcription of the album and it's far more accurate.  I hope they get someone to transcribe the Pornograffitti Live 25 gig and do it right.

Yes, I used to have that, which I got because (delusionally) I thought it might help me with the solo to Get The Funk Out.

After that I decided to not bother with the books and decided to work things out myself by ear.

The tab for the Get The Funk Out in that book is so wrong, especially the tapped sections.

Slash, Nuno, Van Halen - those are the sorts of guitarists I'm really into. Hell yeah!

I also have that awful "Porno" tab book... 
And I also got a Japanese tab book which features a range of their songs. Better but still crap.

These days he's just using a DSL2000, with the N4 and a rat pedal. The Roland unit for FX. His Randall amp was a bit shit, IMHO.

Big fan here, but bored of Extreme living of the Porno album. We get it. Write some new songs...
