yep i said it many times the internet brings out the inner asswipe from a lot of...asswipes lol..cowards who'd never say half the shit in public they do online..its the digital PUSSY generation ;P
The dude invited guitar world's camera crew into his humble Abode to show us his studio and cool gear and all I hear is Complaining.its about sharing music-like Mike did.get it? Rocknroll forever!
Because musicians are jealous, passive-aggressive pussies who are easily threatened by someone better than them. Source: almost 30 years as a pianist, almost 20 as a guitarist, on-and-off professional musician. I have a saying: "hell is other musicians".
MA : Hi! I'm Michael Angelo Batio and welcome to my home studio, MonsterMix Studio. yeaah! The boy who knocks the door : Oh, ok sir, here's your pizza.
Well, not quite every one, LOL. But, before I 'retired' after 60 years in 'the biz' I toured the world and recorded with a top act and I think I know a good musician when I hear one. Michael certainly qualifies.
Met Michael last year and i must say he is a gentleman . Amazing guy, no ego , very down to earth , I told him abt my dreams with music he wished me luck and even asked my name . who does that after achieving so much in life.
I love how he's so enthusiastic about everything even after all these years. He even lives in a humble place instead of a giant ass mansion like most people.
I can't even begin to stress how nice he is. I went to NAMM this year, and I brought my entire Nitro collection, almost two backpacks worth. He looked at me, said "Oh, you brought the mother-lode.". Then he signed everything I have. Took like 45 minutes, he was happy to do it, told me facts about things as he was signing, and other various Nitro stuff. To top it off, we took a bunch of pictures together. If you ever get to meet him, or see him play, DO IT.
I've seen that and it sounded like a bunch of chickens scratching. Wayne thought he was doing something and he wasn't actually playing anything. He tried to sync an electric guitar with a rap beat. LMAO. What a moron.
+MEGAMIGA ... That's right. I've seen Roland Kirk do it. I've also witnessed Michael doing it. Apparently, not many folks can use both sides of their brain at the same time.
True musician to the core.. You see how his eyes light up like a kid in a candy store when hes looking at all his guitars.. Its awesome hes so nice and still has such a fire and passion for the art of it all!
I remember when I saw him in my hometown. I didn't get to talk to him, but I know that if I did he wouldn't be a jerk. MAB stood around for hours and talked to the people there. He's just a really nice guy and an amazing guitarist.
A wonderful guy! I had the pleasure of touring withg him in Turkey and he was a joy to be around. A humble kind man who is such a great guitarist he would shock all the guys who thought they were good :) There is so much to learn from this great artist! I am one of his biggest fans. Reguards from Turkey your guitar brother Awesome John
I played 80s big hair Rock and blues, country, jazz, Bavarian folk,Opera,dance pop, death speed metal for over 40 years......😃 And in my opinion Michael Angelo Batio is the greatest guitarists of all times in the history of mankind,, end of story. I don't care who you are.....
been a fan since 1989. after 92 i didn't think he would ever get reconized. Glad he has new fans & several of his videos on here have had Millions of views. he should form a new Band.
I have had the same experience with MAB, i met him last year at a guitar clinic in my home town and he was awesome. I am gonna go see him again this year at the very same guitar store.
The device is called the "MAB String Dampener." Michael invented and improved it, based on an idea from George Van Eps and has a patent on it. The MAB String Dampener is great for tapping, cleans up your playing and is available at Michael's site.
@StratocastLesPaul MAB has 7 signature Dean Guitars models - the "MAB Signature Series" that are available in music stores all over the world. Michael also has a T-Rex signature Over Drive pedal, available everywhere, that artists like Mark Tremonti (Creed) have in their rig and even George Lynch have used.
Michael's new CD "Hands Without Shadows 2 - Voices" will be available at the end of August 2009. Special guest guitarists on MABs new CD include - Mark Tremonti (Creed, Alter Bridge,) Vinnie Moore (UFO) and George Bellas (Solo Artist) plus a few more surprises.
@spazmicjosh That is not a Mustaine head stock. That is a Dean Guitars "6 in line" head stock that is used for many different signature models. MAB's, Mustaines's, Vinnie Moore's, Eric Peterson, etc..
Michael won the Guitar World readers choice award in the Best Shredder category beating Paul Gilbert, Herman Li, Buckethead and John 5. Check out the new April 2009 issue. All of the winners in other categories announced.
I've had the pleasure and honour of meeting MAB when he came to Liverpool and did a performance there. Shook the dudes hand, and I have to say' he's one of the coolest and nicest guys out there. There's no Ego with this dude he's just pure talent. I'd encourage everyone to try and see him in concert at least once! :)
I met him briefly at a clinic/showcase in a guitarshop about two years ago.He's a really nice guy,patient to talk to everyone.I was standing 5 feet from him.He emphasized a lot on his special picking technique,with the hand turned inwards,like a mandoline playing technique.
@underdog4000 It's just something so when it's in the case, the plastic piece holding the guitar in the case doens't scratch against the strings while it's in there.
This guy is coolness personified. Everyone seems to agree by the way. I'm sure he can talk about guitars for two hours straight without being boring one second. That, and he totally owns at guitar.
Yes. Go to his website and look at the Double-Guitar page. He has an amazing sense of engineering as well. The Double, The Quad, The Rocket Guitar, his Dean signature guitars.
I think those impressive thing about MAB, is how sweet of a guy he is. he is so approachable and willing to hang with his fans. total gem of a guy
jonny gibbs I agree idk why he gets so much hate
jonny gibbs I agree idk why he gets so much hate
Agree with this for sure... he is an absolute dude. Very genuine.
Yep I met him back in 2012 at a clinic and got to chat with him one on one and he is a very nice person.
i dont know why people rag on him, he seems like a nice guy and he is one of the pioneers of shred
+Petgreen ... "When the debate is lost slander is the tool off the loser."

Really nice dude. Got to hang out with him at one of the DOA meetups in Florida. Those double-guitars and cases weigh a fuckin' ton, too.
The dude invited guitar world's camera crew into his humble
Abode to show us his studio and cool gear and all I hear is
Complaining.its about sharing music-like Mike did.get it?

is that how he opens the door to everyone?
Let's hope so 😊
MA : Hi! I'm Michael Angelo Batio and welcome to my home studio, MonsterMix Studio. yeaah!
The boy who knocks the door : Oh, ok sir, here's your pizza.
Lol yes
+Jan Carl Darren Ruiz best commend ever, lol.
+Jan Carl Darren Ruiz ... Well... he is Italian. LOL!
+Sam McCue Dude, you're in every single comment on this video xD
Well, not quite every one, LOL.
But, before I 'retired' after 60 years in 'the biz' I toured the world and recorded with a top act and I think I know a good musician when I hear one. Michael certainly qualifies.
Petrucci studied one of MAB's instructional videos and gives MAB credit for turning him on to Jazz 3 picks. So much for your footstool theory.

Times have changed. I remember living in a giant mansion, like everybody else did back then. 😅
He seems like such a nice guy, like he just REALLY wants to show you all of his toys. Its kind of sweet in a way!
"I bought a second one just in case."
I can't even begin to stress how nice he is. I went to NAMM this year, and I brought my entire Nitro collection, almost two backpacks worth. He looked at me, said "Oh, you brought the mother-lode.".

i like the way he talks . he knows his shit man nice
he said nobody plays a guitar on a 90 degree angle compared to their body. He's wrong. Lil' Wayne does...
+Jens Hendriks lmao
+Jens Hendriks yea
Is that b4 it tips him ova haha
I've seen that and it sounded like a bunch of chickens scratching. Wayne thought he was doing something and he wasn't actually playing anything. He tried to sync an electric guitar with a rap beat. LMAO. What a moron.
LOL
Was I the only one floored by a guy playing 2 saxophones at one time?! Man, imagine the lung power needed for that
Yea i think he could actually play 3 but his eyes would like go white and pop out even when they were closed.
i don't understand many thing and a guy with 2 saxophones is one of them
+Bardo Veidas Listen to Roland Kirk and you will understand his genius ;-)
+MEGAMIGA ... That's right. I've seen Roland Kirk do it. I've also witnessed Michael doing it. Apparently, not many folks can use both sides of their brain at the same time.
It can be taught, just like drawing.
MAB's new DVD "Speed Kills 2010" will be available on July 5th! This is a complete revision of the original classic program.
That is one impressive space. Why would you ever leave the house!
True musician to the core.. You see how his eyes light up like a kid in a candy store when hes looking at all his guitars.. Its awesome hes so nice and still has such a fire and passion for the art of it all!

Love how enthusiastic he sounds when he talks about guitars, you can really hear how much he loves them.
You've got to admire how well he treats his guitars, especially after seeing how Yngwie treats his.
I have followed Mr Angelo since i first picked up a guitar in the late 80's and he always amazes me still! Hailz Batio!!!
Lmao he acts like a dad. Idk how to explain it. His appearance is all hard and metal but when he opens his mouth his like a church going boy scout.
+The Truth Seek ...Do you mean like the gentleman he is?'
Sam McCue i guess.. just sayin
+The Truth Seek
That is why his behaviour sometimes seems off.
I'd let the music do the talking and be the humble wise guy he is.

i love the sign on his front door...nothing screams heavy metal like a cute little sign
The ending always makes me laugh!!! SEE YA!!!! lmao!
Seen him at a guitar workshop some years back, he was awsome then and still is... Michael Angelo is Awsome !!!
God Bless !
no really, thats how michael angelo batio answers the door to anyone who knocks
I checked this video at least 40 times. I don't get rid of it. Michael is my shred idol
I still need the keys to the Ferrari...
Lamborghini*
Same
+Rob Kresnicka lambo
nice reference =)
Bobby Kresnicka Michael gave me the keys to the Lamborghini but I had to give them back. I couldn’t afford the insurance🤣
It's just cool to see someone so into his guitars like that; that Fender Mustang is gorgeous, u can tell he really looks after them all
5:02- 5:06 Not Lil' Wayne..
He is so awesome! I met him and he is so cool and down to earth
that "SEE YA!!!" at the end is his way of saying " GET THE HELL OUT!!!!"
A wonderful guy!
I had the pleasure of touring withg him in Turkey and he was a joy to be around. A humble kind man who is such a great guitarist he would shock all the guys who thought they were good :)
There is so much to learn from this great artist!
I am one of his biggest fans.
Reguards from Turkey
your guitar brother
Awesome John
At least he looks after his guitars unlike malmsteen who uses his like tennis rackets
Tennis rackets lol lol.
Malmsteen even has one of the first eveer strats on the floor inbetween countless others. Really kills me
Un vrai fou passionné!!! Ambidextre en plus!!! Magnifique collection !!!
-MAB:Hi im Michael Anhelo Batio and welcome to my studio \m/
-Pizza Guy: emm...
I love that spalted maple V guitar. And the blueburst ML.
I wonder if he does that whenever someone comes to the door..
"Hi, I'm Michael Angelo Batio"
I played 80s big hair Rock and blues, country, jazz, Bavarian folk,Opera,dance pop, death speed metal for over 40 years......😃 And in my opinion Michael Angelo Batio is the greatest guitarists of all times in the history of mankind,, end of story. I don't care who you are.....
Michael Angelo Batio's Museum of Fine Guitars
no vai's collection is the absolute graceland of guitars
Michael Angelo Batio's average Museum of OK Guitars
Batio is such a nice guy. He kind of make you feel really special in a way.
Is that how he greets everyone who comes to his house? lol
+Samith Mordraus ... as a matter of fact, yes, it is. I've been there.
been a fan since 1989. after 92 i didn't think he would ever get reconized. Glad he has new fans & several of his videos on here have had Millions of views. he should form a new Band.
0:07 Hi, I should have ditched this wig years ago.
now then, 6:46 is the funniest thing i've seen on a youtube video, ever.
HE is really proud of his studio and his music and that is a true Guitar musician
ROCK ON
"Hi, I'm MAB, and I have more gear than you..."
I have had the same experience with MAB, i met him last year at a guitar clinic in my home town and he was awesome. I am gonna go see him again this year at the very same guitar store.
He seems like a nice guy.
... Until he has to practice, practice, and practice...
@Ajepson2 In the studio in California, and the song is called Hahds Without Shadows
"No human plays a guitar perpendicular to their body....... Giraffes on the other hand..."

That's passion!!
This man is under rated. Technical genius!!
Man, dude seems like such a cool person. i'd so get a guitar lesson from him
Michael Angelo Batio= Legend
That is an excerpt from Michael's song "Pray On, Prey" from his "Hands Without Shadows" CD.
What's amazing is how nice this guy seems. I'd def. down a couple beers and jam in his studio with him any day!
It is MAB's song "No Boundaries" from the CD of the same name. It is so quiet in the back ground that it is hard to hear.
I've watched all of the "In The Studio...." vids, and this one is my favorite. Don't know why.
Awesome person and guitarist !
Cool tour! Thanks MAB and GW!
He Is So talented And So humble and so damn down To earth I wanna Drink a beer with this guy
MAB forever
