Of course he didn’t! He’s the freakin man at guitar whether you like him or not. He can play period. He’s a showman and entertainer which rubs some wrong?
What a player. I bought his "Speed Kills" tutorial DVD, must be about 15 years ago. He shows exactly what he's doing, but it didn't help, I couldn't get anywhere near it.
Chivas6.. No.. you can't do that practice alone! Michael Angelo is such a Great and talented guitar genius .. I thin the Greatest Guitarist of the world One fo the greatest artist ever!
I saw him at a clinic last night and he signed a bunch of our stuff (me and my father) too it's pretty insane what he can do with guitar especially when he brought the double guitar. We got his pick too!
There is...nobody...better. Nobody is better than Michael Angelo Batio. I apologize to whomever is offended by this, but I truly believe this; he can play fast as hell, he can play anything, he can play with one or both hands, and he does half of it with his eyes closed. Who can do that? Satriani? Malmsteem? Buckethead? Nobody...nobody.
''This guy is so insanely good. His alternate picking technique is incredible. '' I noticed that too. Plus not only alternate which is fucking so fast and clean but that sweep, I wanna throw my guitar out a window..
SO badass from 5:32, I picture an 80s Chuck Norris riding along the Sunset Strip on a Harley Davidson and a bunch of bats from hell following him haha!
everyone that says "kirk's simpler shredding fits Metallica better than advanced techniques" should listen to this........ This fits so well!!!!!!! Imagine being Kirk Hammett watching this. If I was Kirk I'd be so embarrassed as a "lead guitarist" for being in a thrash metal band that prides itself on being fast. I do like Kirk's melodic stuff though, not trying to bash him as a musician, but as a shredder
@Blackmark456 lol Hey what do ya want? He got started in hairbands back in the 80s (Nitro & Holland). Guess that's just one part he can't let go of so he keeps his little hairband haircut.
@misterreaper21 (some) awesome Buckethead songs off his 40 albums. final wars- sail on soothsayer- soothsayer- the way to heaven- inferno- all in the waiting- nottingham lace- too many humans- witches on the heath- spell of the gypsies- seige engine- peppers ghost- lurker at the threshold- mrs beasley- siphoning sequence- aunt suzie- for mom- sea of expanding shapes- stretching lighthouse- angel monster- brewer in the air- whitewash- earth heals herself- baptism of solitude- broken mirror.
@MrMeist Glad you asked! A guitar player can be categorized into one ov 5 Levels Ov Power (Levels 0 - 4) based on his/her level ov skill. Shitty/average players like jimmy page are at Level 0. Players like Synyster Gates are at Level 1. Players like Alexi Laiho and Sam Totman are at Level 2. Players like MAB, Paul Gilbert, and Paco De Lucia are at Level 3. No known players have ever successfully reached Level 4.
I was there! Haha. Got my les paul signed by him and he gave me alot of shit for it not being a dean and he practicly tried to sell me the one he was playing. Still, he was a very nice guy. Coffee music westminster maryland!!
Kirk's technical playing abilitys are very compared for todays guitarists. All tough he made best slow guitar solo what i have ever heard of ( The unforgiven)
@Glutonid Yeah, I know this, trust me; Rush is one of my favorite bands. I couldn't elaborate on my point because there's not enough room in UA-cam comment boxes. Aside from Batio's speed and technique, he also has masterful arrangements, incredible precision, and he's able to make seamless transitions from slow melodies to all out shredding. I'm also aware that the other virtuosos I mentioned are the same, but the fact that Batio can do it with his techniques makes him the best in my mind.
I'm a big fan of metallica but I have to accept that metallica will never soud as good as this. those guitar solos are in another level. Kirk is a good guitar player but there is not point of comparison. To me, the best guitar players are Batio and Malmsteen.
Never forget, clean, fast imitation may sound sweet. But imho it can never beat the ability to create this music. That's why most guitarists haven't heard of Michael, yet most of the world has heard of Metallica👍
I don't mean to be disrespectful, and more than one of you will bite down hard, but the way the songs are written, and then with the shredding on top... Its like some one talking gibberish at 200 words a minute over the top of a good story... and for me , that completely fucks it. This isn't a Metallica Medley, this is some dingleberry doing shredding improv over the top of a backing tape. I don't deny that he's extremely skilled, one of the best no doubt.
this shows you that just being technically good doesn't equal fame. its about feeling and great songs. technically he is up there but when kurt cobain makes millions and this guy plays to 20 people at a music store it shows you the differance.have to add if he enjoys the store circuit and makes a good living then maybe this is what makes him happy.
Bro, know your facts. He has toured in 58 countries, has his own signature guitar series, record label and a net worth of 7 million dollars.... He might not be as rich and famous as cobain, but he's not playing in that store because he's has to. It's because he wants to.
If you want to buy this guitar, search "Dean Michael Angelo Batio Mab1 Armor Flame Guitar" on gumtree, for a good price and amazing condition, also signed by Michael Angelo Batio himself!
how well is he picking. im looking for different ways i can incorporate others picking styles and making there's mine by changing a few of the simpliest things.
@IronButcher1 How could you hate his style of picking? He picks like every other guitarist... Alternate picking, Sweep picking, etc. Even some tapping but it doesn't really count as picking -
@o0Slipdisc0o I respectfully disagree, Michealhas a "masters degree" in musicalcomposition and harmonony.I went on tour with him twice his live perfomances were mind boggling and his original music deep and complex. He was a perfect gentleman and took time to educate all the young guitarists. the guy was 5stars allaround.. the factthat hishand technique is so superb freaks many people out... but the guy isa solid muscian.
Someone needs to do a brain scan on Batio, so normal guitar player don't feel bad. He does things that are beyond normal people, I haven't decided if he is inspiring or not. He is amazing to watch.
Actually met him, he's really down to Earth and cool!!!!
Yea, he’s super nice.
Doesnt miss one note..👏🔥🔥
Sure he does he just uses so much delay reverb and distortion its hard to tell
Of course he didn’t! He’s the freakin man at guitar whether you like him or not. He can play period. He’s a showman and entertainer which rubs some wrong?
Batio rocks !!!. Groovy versions , I ´d like to see him live.
I couldn't stop crying when I watched this vid! Michael is soooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you see what he can do on the guitar, you may cry too!!!
What a player. I bought his "Speed Kills" tutorial DVD, must be about 15 years ago. He shows exactly what he's doing, but it didn't help, I couldn't get anywhere near it.
Michael is such a talent that I cry when I watch him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a gift from God!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or maybe like Robert Johnson and all the members of the 27 club, its a gift from someone else
You need a therapist if watching some dude shred makes you cry. God's god nothing to do with it either. He just practiced a lot.
Chivas6.. No.. you can't do that practice alone! Michael Angelo is such a Great and talented guitar genius .. I thin the Greatest Guitarist of the world One fo the greatest artist ever!
Chivas6 It is my belief that such skill is gifted by God. As are all gifts we humans are endowed with~
every note is perfectly played
I saw him at a clinic last night and he signed a bunch of our stuff (me and my father) too it's pretty insane what he can do with guitar especially when he brought the double guitar. We got his pick too!
Show,um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo!!!!
Wow! I'm always amazed by MAB. Every time I watch a performance he looks possessed, that's definitely the power of METAL!!! YEAH!
It's awesome that a guy this awesome does a tribute to an awesome band. I wish all of youtube was like this!
There is...nobody...better. Nobody is better than Michael Angelo Batio. I apologize to whomever is offended by this, but I truly believe this; he can play fast as hell, he can play anything, he can play with one or both hands, and he does half of it with his eyes closed. Who can do that? Satriani? Malmsteem? Buckethead? Nobody...nobody.
I love how he suddenly breaks in Sanitarium. :D
Batio is the stuff for certain! I’m a Mississippi hill blues guys, but this guy is a awesome. He can play anything and well.
awesome..
Never seen this one live! Great Vid!
You're exactly right,emotion,heart and soul does,and he sure as hell has that.
excellent as always
MICHAEL ANGELO SUCH A NICE GUITAR PLAYER MY FAVORITE SONG OF HIM IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
@A7XEternalSoldier
I agree with you totally!
There are many good guitarists in the forefront, but Batio stands out even from them because of that.
I saw him live.
He was using that same guitar, too.
Bloody wicked mate
awesome!
this isnt from hands without shadows wherever i may roam is this is for whom the bell tolls
''This guy is so insanely good. His alternate picking technique is incredible.
''
I noticed that too. Plus not only alternate which is fucking so fast and clean but that sweep, I wanna throw my guitar out a window..
That is pure metal magic...
@GuitaristMarkus from 0.00 to 3.00 is for whom the bells tolls by metallica :)
He's insane...so much better LIVE!! That is why I love heavy metal!!
HE IS THE ONLY!!!!! IVE EVER HEARD COVER DIME AND MAKE DIME AND OTHERS PROUD UTUBE IT!!!!
Okay Thanks! I just assumed it was called that since that is a track on his Hands Without Shadows cd. It was amazing!
The best solo gitarist of the Metallica
SO badass from 5:32, I picture an 80s Chuck Norris riding along the Sunset Strip on a Harley Davidson and a bunch of bats from hell following him haha!
2:00 "Make his fight on the hill in the early day... Constant chill vwlvlwlvwwvwlvlwlwvlwvlwlvwlvlwvlwvlwlvwlvlwlwlwl"
the best video ever ever¡¡¡
Westminster Maryland! i was their!
The song on HWS is actually just Wherever I may Roam, this is a different song, though he included parts of the other one in it.
Funny dude !! Incredible beyond human playing !!
@GuitaristMarkus for whom the bell tolls that what he plays the entire video with a few licks and fills
hetfield: MAB your hired
kirk: shit I'm fired!!!!!!
terrible como maneja la viola este mostruo!!! sin envargo 1 de los mejores!!
el numero 1 lejos ✌
everyone that says "kirk's simpler shredding fits Metallica better than advanced techniques" should listen to this........ This fits so well!!!!!!! Imagine being Kirk Hammett watching this. If I was Kirk I'd be so embarrassed as a "lead guitarist" for being in a thrash metal band that prides itself on being fast. I do like Kirk's melodic stuff though, not trying to bash him as a musician, but as a shredder
He is playing the guitar that I have which I play in one of my covers. It is the MAB 1 Armorflame.
thats amazing =]
This is what happens when one sells that soul to be the very best ...JUST TOO DAMN GOOD man is GOD OF THE GUITAR!
he has an extreme style to all songs...
Hahhaah love the way he just throws No Boundaries in there towards the end :P
For whom the bell tolls intro is so epic :P
terrible como maneja la viola este mostruo!!! sin envargo 1 de los mejores!!
"el numero 1 lejos"
It's his famous over under technique he made up... he's actaully playing notes when he does that
the sweep ar 1:30 is used in Between The Buried And Mes cover of Blackened....... sweeeeeeeeeet
Damn straight!
There's a reason last thing he plays is from the black album.
wow.
@Blackmark456 lol Hey what do ya want? He got started in hairbands back in the 80s (Nitro & Holland). Guess that's just one part he can't let go of so he keeps his little hairband haircut.
Isn't a guitar, it's a weapon! haha
Michael Angelo, the truest guitar god

right, the feeling for where and when speed technique is used is more important
Frakin groovy And good
I was there! Haha. Got my les paul signed by him and he gave me alot of shit for it not being a dean and he practicly tried to sell me the one he was playing. Still, he was a very nice guy. Coffee music westminster maryland!!
Kirk's technical playing abilitys are very compared for todays guitarists. All tough he made best slow guitar solo what i have ever heard of ( The unforgiven)
@IronButcher1 his right hand picking is irregular because MAB is Left handed. :]
@BernasJouef97
Thanks!

To me, the best guitar players are Batio and Malmsteen.
+Obscureknave Kirk's playing suits the songs though.
+Banter is so much FUN batio and malmsteen r speed kings
But Kirk has a better Haircut...lol
troll or stupid. Speed is not that important, Malmsteen and Batio have a meaningless guitar playing style, no creativity whatsoever
Never forget, clean, fast imitation may sound sweet. But imho it can never beat the ability to create this music. That's why most guitarists haven't heard of Michael, yet most of the world has heard of Metallica👍
heess briliant :)

but can he play smoke on the water
Yes he can.. On his dual guitar
He could if he would resist playing 45,000 notes a minute
Which will not happen
he kinda reminds me of nigel from spinal tap even moves like him lol
Best hair in the business.
for whom the bell tolls
gran guitarrista.
1:45 my all time favorite metallica riff
@roMetallman Absolutely 100% correct!!!
wooo!
this shows you that just being technically good doesn't equal fame. its about feeling and great songs. technically he is up there but when kurt cobain makes millions and this guy plays to 20 people at a music store it shows you the differance.have to add if he enjoys the store circuit and makes a good living then maybe this is what makes him happy.

And fame doesn't necessary equal that you're a good musician

My God, his hair. His beautiful hair
Ya, he isn't the fastest or the coolest. But with all the riffs and solos from Metallica, he's a legend.
how well is he picking. im looking for different ways i can incorporate others picking styles and making there's mine by changing a few of the simpliest things.
@Wendenator777 since when saying hate is hating ?
epic
Satriani is a metallica fan too
total shredder!!!!
I’m not a fan of his style, but his speed picking is super clean.
@Blackenedin92 true man.
@FireSpiritKc I talked to him at this clinic and he told me this : :It's pronounced like Radio, but with a B". So it's pronounced Badio.
try the 432 hz tuning instead of the 440.... Awesome, great job !!!
hes got a nice tone on his guitar
@Wendenator777 he's using marshall jcm 2000's right
@IronButcher1 How could you hate his style of picking? He picks like every other guitarist... Alternate picking, Sweep picking, etc. Even some tapping but it doesn't really count as picking -
4:50 awesome!
To whome the bell tolls
Hell Yeah
So an old episode of the Incredible Hulk the other day, they have the same do !

BATIO ROXX!!! ITS THE FUCKING BEST!!
Toca pra caralho.ta na altura do mánowar
He sure plays better than Kirk 😂
Not really kirk plays within the song this guy ruins it
Ik that duhh XD
