    Guitar elitists be like:
    "no feel"
    "no melody just fast"
    Number 1, there is a melody, some people are just too deaf to here it, number 2, this isn't meant to be a demonstration of him playing with "feel". It's meant to show us how fast he can play and the talent he has

    I work for a store that has hosted Batio several times for clinics- I gotta say, he is one of the nicest dudes on the planet. After the clinics, he would answer every question, pose for every pic, sign absolutely everything. One time he was in store till about 1am, making sure he spent time with everyone there.

Though I'm no expert at it, I've gotten a few kudos on what sweeping and shredding I can do! I'm 63 now. It's kinda fun to go into Guitar Center, grab a guitar and so some sweep arpeggios!

      You really need to go check some technical death metal guitarists. Christian Muenzner for example. MAB is obviously a master of fast and clean playing with great economy of motion, but this is far less impressive nowadays than it was before. He's sadly always lacked the skill of creating great melodic lines.

He spent more time asking people to come up and play and helping them with their technique than he did showing off his stuff. Just a really good dude.

    Attention to all haters! This guy is totally real. I saw him in the early 90's. He was in a band call Nitro. It was in a club in Cleveland, Peabody's I think, anyway you know the crowd, the first 30 rows of people all dudes standing there with the arms folded with the Im better than you attitude. Then this guy comes on and starts cutting heads, oh it was bloody, this guy killed everyone, I just stood there in amazement, this guy is a freak of a guitar player. Best live guitarist I've seen live. Period. BTW the bass player was also the best Ive seen live. His name is T.J. Racer and he should be known far and wide. Im a guitar player and I bought a black precision bass because of him.

      he sounded like someone was strangling a cat.....sorry, sorry, sorry I couldn't resist that. That's my standard answer about singers. Gillette was a monster. Prowled the stage tons of high range screams and badass singing in the normal ranges as well. The deal with these guys is they were all headcutters. I cant think of anyone I saw live who were better than these guys. It was an hour and a half of the most intense ass kicking music possible an onslaught of wizardry and bombast.

    • @TheLightweaver777

      The vocalist for Nitro is/was a dude named Jim Gillette. His vocal training videos are also produced by Metal Method (or they used to be, and I can't be bothered verifying that at the moment), and his Halford-esque scream is amazing. Also, Jim's married to Lita Ford.
