I have heard of him. Never heard him. Always thought he was a clown and a jerk off for the two necks and being super "speedy" thing that he is known for. I am admitting to being wrong and being a judgemental asshole. I was wrong to lump him in to a scene I dont care for. Anyone who is into melody is awesome in my book, and this guy is very pleasing to the ear. Glad I stopped on this video, apologies for preformed assumptions.
He's one of the greatest of all time full stop, he can play jazz he was first a jazz guitarist he can play any style that he wants to the mans a genius . I agree totally Brother.
I thought that I’ll make a controversial statement here, but almost every body agrees that this is probably the best no boundaries performance ever and he was either on fire that day or that Ibanez is clearly better than his Dean; I can noticed that the action is lower and it has probably 8 gauges. And on top of that, the tone is also better. And I’m an absolute fan of MAB
Let me say this...if there is one guitarist in the world that sold his soul to play it this guy... He is flawless and unmatched with live execution....Beautifully played Michael.
Great to see Michael playing a JEM. they're WONDERFUL guitars and sound like nothing else out there. I personally have the blue sparkle 7VSBL. It's gorgeous:) and I'll have it till I die, no doubt about it.
I don`t speak english.... in spanish... soy de Leòn en Mexico, y tuve la fortuna de verlo en vivo y suena genial... solo le faltaba una Jem Ibañez... Woooow
I don't understand why this dude uses Dean over Ibanez. Dean looks quite cool yes but sounds bad. Ibanez looks beautiful and sounds beautiful. And is comfortable to play.
My God! He sounds totally different when he has a decent guitar in his hands. MAB has always had otherworldly technique, but since the second instructional video, he has just sounded too processed for my liking. This though... THIS does his abilities justice. The same song on one of his Dean’s sounds like an exercise. It sounds musical on that Jem. Wow.
Thats an actual blue jem but wears to green over time, its just raw paint no polyurethane coat, I think that has something to do with the great sound of this guitar & it hasn't got the last 4 frets scalloped like other Jems either.
Yeah, this was cool to me because it wasn't just some studio thing from one of the instructional vids, but an actual live performance. I dunno if it's the guitar or whatever, but this is one of the best performances I've heard from Mike. His picking is too good, especially near the end. Frightening precision.
No problem friend, it was just an innocent joke. I commend you for learning another language. Its a good tool to have, as you never know when you may need it. Keep at it!
who disliked this doesnt understand shred guitar with melody.....he's one of the best guitarist to me
Same here
agree bro. i like the opening with steve vai style

This tone of MAB with Ibanez is far better than Dean ...
and sawtooth
And sawtooth...
He should definitely look at an ibanez endorsement.. but I bet his current company pay him more than ibanez would ...
It's in the pickups, amps and speakers over what company puts their name on wood.
Agree Brother
When Michael Angelo Batio meets Steve Vai (Jem), the result can be only a masterpiece...
One of his best versions of No Boundaries I've heard! Amazing!!! That Jem sounds so SWEET!!!
Ibanez Jems are the ultimate shredding machines!
prime MAB .... so clean and precise ... and jem translate his playing better than any his signature
Had to make sure I didn't have you on 1.5 speed the way I listen to talk shows.
Sounds better than any dean he's ever played.
In my ear, Dean is good for making brutal riffs for metal, for solo, ibanez just feels better.
I'm commenting on your 8 years old comment, lol.
@@rizqibayumantari6769 You're arguing for pickups on an 8 year old comment.
@@rizqibayumantari6769 i agree
@@BulletFever1he said it before you. Cry.
Standing, sitting, studio, live, shredder guitar, classic guitar...None of that ever matters with MAB. He always shreds and is always perfect!
Sounds fantastic with Ibanez!!! more natural and clear
Ibanez WINS!
3:51 Mike really enjoyed doing his vibrato on the JEM

this IS the best performance of MAB, amazing sound on ibanez
It’s gotta be the Jem. It’s a magical instrument.
The sound in this video is amazing, much better than when he uses his own signature.
best guitar+best guitarist=perfect :D
no other guitar sounds great than the original badass guitar he used for this awesome masterpiece
MAB with an ibanez? A match made in heaven...
Yes XD ... i Love this Ibanez jem and this sound...
almost no difference between live and studio ... amazing!
He´s just flawless as always.
wow i saw this video about 10 years ago and havent seens since then, nice find youtube
Let me say this...if there is one guitarist in the world that sold his soul to play it this guy... He is flawless and unmatched with live execution....Beautifully played Michael.
yes, somehow this guitar sounds better than his own signature series..
MAB + Ibanez = pure win.
Holy Heavens, that tone is otherwordly!
Very clean!!!!
Great to see Michael playing a JEM. they're WONDERFUL guitars and sound like nothing else out there. I personally have the blue sparkle 7VSBL. It's gorgeous:) and I'll have it till I die, no doubt about it.
Damn there is just no stopping the shred! Still ripping it up after all these years and sounding just as good. Amazing
Michael angel batio is a legend
I've owned an Ibanez Jem BSB for a few years now and love it, can't believe I'm only seeing MAB play one for the first time in 2020 🙈
pure perfection
holy he sounds better with ibanez
the sound is 100000000000 times better than when he uses dean guitars...the jem is an awesome guitar and this video demonstrates that ibanez rules
Seen this guy live TWICE he is the BEST
super 👍
arpeggios and high speed... MAB is lamborghini
Petrus Mering and to this day I haven’t found the key
good vibrato, good melody, and absolute excellent shred, yeah if you dislike, sorry, you dont get it
not to mention, he always pays his respects to the other greats, dimebag, yngwie, vai, and he's even playing a vai guitar :D
I don`t speak english.... in spanish... soy de Leòn en Mexico, y tuve la fortuna de verlo en vivo y suena genial... solo le faltaba una Jem Ibañez... Woooow
3:14 - 3:18 ....Those four seconds....FUCKING OUTTA THIS WORLD!!!
The Jem is the best guitar. Hands down.
u can tell its a Jem by the tone!
Awesome never saw this one!!
Waw ibanez...
Jems are great guitars.
How many of you played in your head the end of song , right after video was cut ? :D
Awesome!
MAB with a jem ?? i like that xD
Why did everyone give "thumbs down" to this comment? The Ibanez in question is by all accounts a fine instrument, and it also looks the part.
Wow. I've never seen Michael Angelo Batio play anything else but a Dean before. I'm digging the change of sound.
MAB needs an ibanez endorsement, now!
I don't understand why this dude uses Dean over Ibanez. Dean looks quite cool yes but sounds bad. Ibanez looks beautiful and sounds beautiful. And is comfortable to play.
Sometimes it's not up to one to "choose". It's business.
great!
the guitar is wondering wtf is going on ??
MAB is AAAAAAAAAAmazing
@Easleytee
I agree, Shawn Lane is a master of the instrument. RIP Shawn Lane.
He's a machine!!!!!
Finally i found the live version.. tqvm
the tone sounds closer to the cd than any other performances of this song.. wonder if he originally done it with a jem ?
@dirtydonki JEM's are awsome guitars. I have a JEM7BSB
My God! He sounds totally different when he has a decent guitar in his hands. MAB has always had otherworldly technique, but since the second instructional video, he has just sounded too processed for my liking. This though... THIS does his abilities justice. The same song on one of his Dean’s sounds like an exercise. It sounds musical on that Jem. Wow.
This speed × anyway akkurat = incredible + realy awesome to me!! I heard so late bout MAB and ask myself why - how should etc...
@YngtchieMusic Sounds really good to me. Not sure I've heard MAB sound that good before. Great clarity and tone for this sorta stuff.
Other level...🎖️
Superb! Absolutely amazing
@SkillerGuyVids damn right it does, i was thinkin the same thing. love to hear him on a strat personally.
la raja
Thats an actual blue jem but wears to green over time, its just raw paint no polyurethane coat, I think that has something to do with the great sound of this guitar & it hasn't got the last 4 frets scalloped like other Jems either.
Just effortless
Killer speed
There once was a man named Angelo…
Who couldn’t really play slow…
He’s always fast…
Did he come last…
In the guitar shredder show?
- Deadly Jedley
Ive seen alot of the supposed best guitarist but he stands out as the best to me
G3 please
240p? Yet, still great Batio
@guitarher3 it can look really good! i prefer the lightly burnt ones
@dirtydonki 你说的对 。。 JEM 也 是我最喜欢的吉他
He sounds GOOD on a JEM!!!! (Hell, he'd sound good on a Banjo!!!)
04:00 who has better ?
Yeah, this was cool to me because it wasn't just some studio thing from one of the instructional vids, but an actual live performance. I dunno if it's the guitar or whatever, but this is one of the best performances I've heard from Mike.
His picking is too good, especially near the end. Frightening precision.
i would like to see him play Ibanez Egen- 18 Herman Li signarue moddel
Since it's an Ibanez JEM7BSB, I guess these are stock Evolutions (Steve Vai signature guitar and pickups.)
yes it is there, just look at 2:00 or something, you can see it ;).
@eman0080 he does own a gibson double neck, the only one ever made by gibson, he sows it in an interview
@ReadThisurDUMB there is no doubt in my mind that mab can play a gibson as well as he could a dean, i just would like to see him do it
ibanez jem7 BSB
4:30 When you are a musician and you break the matrix.
Ibanez should sign him.
I did not cut the video ;)
fucking clean
RESPECT !!
he looks good on a jem :)
I am dean guitar lovers I buy dean guitars only but MAB sounds better with ibanez.
Yogen Grg because he uses active pickups normally....and the jem probably has di marzio passive, and passive is better than active
Wow, passive is better than active, what a great argument
isaac thrash all of his Deans have passives. I feel like the Ibanez's just have faster necks
his tone settings amps stuff was better
@@instrumentalist28 Sounds more organic I guess.
I don't know why some people are so blown back by the fact he's using a jem, this guitar is mainly for soloing so it's expected it will sound good.
id like to see mab play a guitar that isnt made for shredding. seeing him shred on a les paul with a 50s style neck would be a truly amazing sight.
Am I the only one that wishes he would play the original version of the song (with the tapping at the end) instead of the over under technique?
He should 100% stick with Ibanez, what a combo.
He sounds 100x better here than with his Dean
No problem friend, it was just an innocent joke. I commend you for learning another language. Its a good tool to have, as you never know when you may need it. Keep at it!
@voodooorc best hands?
MAB with a JEM? What kind of backwards world are we in? Is Steve Vai playing Deans?
@AVH5000ultimate What's the problem of swepping
NOW I AM SURE MAB + IBANEZ IS THE DEADLIEST COMBO EVER......even better than dean
With the fog that comes on right at the crazy over-under, it looks like the guitar is smoking due to his fast playing. :D
kinda like steve vai handing batio a jem and telling "START PLAYING SHOW ME WHAT U GOT" hahahahaah
