I've seen other metal-shredders with no end acoustics and much less convincing when they try to play another style of music, but this time he has done. Este Batio sí que es un gran cabrón
This guy is a wanker, get back to circus where you belong!
More fitting in a circus side show then any real music venue. Would be a disgrace for this entertainer and finger athlete to occupy the same stage where real musicians perform.
@jmr1068204 If you would listen carefully to his tunes you would notce that he uses techniques of all great musicians of all time. Combined with speed, !!!PLAYED ACCURATE!!! and combined with kick ass melodies he is one of the best Musicians ever. So please listen to his songs and not to 5 Seconds of his songs. I am sure that you will find so much to explore in them by listening over and over again. Just give it a try
@PureDiamondFilms I have heard just about all of his songs on his albums and have had a few of his cd's, as well. I know the notes of man of his songs to the people of being able to "play" them back to myself melody-wise in my head when I'm not listening to anything. He's a great musician, but half of his audience wishes he would play things like this more often rather than the constant shredding, which gets old. Paganini wasn't just a violin shredder. Neither are the other artists.
@jmr1068204 It's not mindless shred, I strongly suggest you watch interviews with him the man is brilliant and you gain a whole new respect and ear for his music, it's like you're a math teacher that dreds marking one student but when he explains his thinking you go "holy fuck, so now I OHH his math is good"
@MartyFriedmanRulez66 So you mean we should listen to music with our mind instead of our soul ?
Music is not intended to speak to the intellect.. only at school music, not on stage.
Maybe his songs are very elaborate, but most are so boring people dont care to look at what's hidden behind. thats what we call mindless shred.. not saying he's bad.
@doyengicp his music does speak to my soul well some of it, but I gained quite a bit of respect after he explained why he plays so fast, and it's actually completely simple I just never thought of it :P maybe he's not your cup of tea but his "mindless shred" as you called it has meaning to my ears
@jmr1068204 How can you call it mindless? There's as much modulation in 'shred' as there is in jazz, there's as much 'feeling' (listen to his vibrato and phrasing), it's physically more challening and mentally just as much.
@socratesandlavagods Only those who have been exposed to both would know, which you clearly have not. I've been playing both genres for more than 6 years, and I am a hell of a lot better at jazz than shred.
@NailsForDinner There is virtually no modulation in shred, and if when it happens it's so blatant simple that it's not even comparable to high tempo swing where you're cycling ii-V's every 2 bars - that's "modulation" or moving through keys...the whole crux of being a "shred" guitarist is that you shit out boring linear patterns with no regard for the harmony - because the harmony is highly static and uninteresting. Please give me a list of "shred" songs that modulate as much as a Jazz tune.PLZ
Some examples to get you started. And as far as no regard for harmony, HA! Vai, Satch, Petrucci, & Becker have brought me to tears waaaay more than Pass or Basie ever did.
@NailsForDinner Guthrie and Holdsworth .... are not "shred". They play fusion. And there still isn't hardly, if any, modulation in most of their music.
@socratesandlavagods They play notes fast, don't they? Besides, I can garuntee 95% of "shredders" can play jazz (example given above), classical, reggae, rock, fusion, funk, etc. Good luck seeing a jazz guitarist play any of that.
@NailsForDinner Oh christ. They can't "play" jazz, they can't even conceptualize it. MAB is a perfect example of a shredder being INCAPABLE, despite his useless technical facilities. Find me a shredder with a good swing feel (which MAB certainly doesn't have, his super straight 8th notes make me want to stab myself) that can play high tempo bebop...and play the changes. There's more modulation in 4 bars on a bop tune there is on an album of "shred guitar".

@jmr1068204 Calling a style mindless because you don't like it.... that is really mindless.
Shred is an as legitimate way to play the guitar as classic, jazz etc.
If it doesn't appeal to you, fine. Don't listen to it. But save others your unjustified foul blathering.
