Nuno is such a damn beast of a player! Oddly enough I could never get into Extreme's actual songs but I loved his lead playing. Glad to have finally gotten to se him live last year.

Not in any particular order...
Bill (Mr. Zoot Horn Rollo) Harleroad
Viv Albertine
Johnny Thunders
Frank Zappa
Pete Townshend (Live @ Leeds)
Dick Dale

The two guitarists in this song, Paul Johnson & Jim Boyle. They blend together in a very interesting way.

Alex Lifeson
Ace Frehley
Jerry Cantrell
Iommi
Kim Thayill
Angus and Malcolm Young
David Gilmour

Those probably had the biggest impact on me playing wise. Honorable mentions go to Hetfield, Kenny Hickey of Type O Negative (I listened to that band a ton), Mike McCready, EVH (I can't even remotely play like him, but I love his attitude) and Dean DeLeo (big huge shimmery chords).
