I cannot believe how underrated Mike is. He manages to shatter the bar of being a great guitarist and throw it up ten feet on a daily basis. He's just so damn fast and precise. And at the same time, he plays it to music that actually sounds great and fits, making a pretty awesome song out of all of it. Kinda makes you wonder how often he breaks strings, though. Especially with those bends.
This video is the first time I saw this guy playing. The first time in YEARS I just sat down listening just giggling of joy of the awesomeness displayed. I must catch him live when he tours Sweden. This was the best guitarist I've seen in years.
Girlfriend: come to bed honey, i went to victoria's secret today.... Me: Save the panties for another day...... i gotta listen to Mike Orlando another hundred and fifty times...
You my good sir, are now one of my top 5 guitarist, I absolutely love Adrenaline Mob, and your vids on here pushed you up in my 5. You're right next to Vai and Satriani for me, great work! Hopefully I can play like this one day. Much respect.
Kudos to Mike Orlando! He's probably the quickest guitarist I've heard in a long time. And the drum track kicks butt too. That's drummer extraordinaire Steve Tobin from Peter Steele's Carnivore. He actually drums on most of the 'Sonic Stomp I' cd. I highly recomend this cd! .
I have my favorite Drummer I have my favorite Singer I have my favorite Bassist After many years... I have now found my favorite guitarist, that is Mike Orlando. :-) You probably remember me on Twitter LOL!
Это потрясающе!

@vibratingstring I know right? I just wanted to see what the amp sounded like and I got this awesome song and performance. I admire the efficiency of his left hand, I have been working hard trying to get myself to use more muscles instead of just fingers and this is more proof it is worth it to keep working hard.
What the hell just happened here....that Rocked!! That sounds like what I always hear in my head when I reach for my guitar.......... but it never comes out quite like that......lol That was Kick Ass!!
@36POINTBLANK Thats a Vigier Excalibur, seems like an Excalibur Original to me... In the official page you can find this exact one in the Original Excalibur Colors page... Natural alder with rosewood fingerboard. Im more a maple fretboard guy, but this one is beautiful!!!!
I hear Satch, Vai, Elliot Easton, Neal Schon, Adrian Vandenberg in there. Maybe a touch of Vinnie Moore and Dave Shankle. How'd you do that? Oh, wait, I just heard a bit of Schenker. Wow.
@zkkrlz I used to study classical guitar with this old man who played so fast that it looked like someone pressed the IRL fast forward button. It's weird, but it's not sped up. It's pure badassery.
I believe 3-4 more lessons and hes gonna figure it out, Lmao wowsa awesome job, I saw them at the House of blues in Myrtle opening for Godsmack the entire band kicks ass
all i can say I've been listening for some yrs now,,took lessins from Greg howe for many yrs and you have inspired me to step up my picking game/approach..Wow..kick ass brother!!!
I have seen him live, and he plays the same stuff without mistakes. One of the best guitarists ever! I wish I could have guitar lessons from him!

I can only use one word to describe this guy. "The Beast" he plays like a monster. I think his fans should start calling this guy "The Beast"

Mike Portnoy sent me. You're amazing keep up the great work!

Oddly enough, this reminded me a lot of Syu's playing from Galneryus. Both clearly exceptional guitarists.

There may not be a more impressive live player on the planet right now.

I hear Satch, Vai, Elliot Easton, Neal Schon, Adrian Vandenberg in there. Maybe a touch of Vinnie Moore and Dave Shankle. How'd you do that? Oh, wait, I just heard a bit of Schenker. Wow.

@doubleuarex
Actually, even though his picking hand is rigid, his fretting hand is super-efficient and relaxed!
I approve.
Vigier and Suhr guitars, i dont know why but if guitar player use them they always so badass!!!!!!
I was skeptical, but after this vid, I will give Adrenaline Mob a chance.
