[rockerof80s]

@DragonMasterXZ rainforest by micheal angelo batio

[april9089]

where I can get the DVD? :)

[stbreal]

half of the double guitar sweet

[MetallicBill]

Learn 2 Burn, it's time folks! End of Daze and all that! hahaha I have the first video he put out in the 1980s, I can't recall details on it but it's hard to cull up on YouTube

[Sean2592]

No Michael your the SHRED MASTER

[chadmbedwell]

@Sean2592 DaMN Right!!!! He's the Best Guitarsit on the Fucking Planet,Hell he's 100 years ahead of his time! He's Like Einstien or Bill Gates on the Guitar...Can't no other human being Play as Fast as he does,Oh I have seen Many Many Shredders Starting,From people say his Closest Adversary Yngwie Malmsteen. Hey I Like Malmsteen very much,But he don't Hold a Candle to this Man. MAB is the Best!!!!!!!!

[Sean2592]

@chadmbedwell he's definitely and innovator I myself consider Van Halen the Einstein of the electric guitar because he was the first guy to fuck with his shit, if your playing anything with a whammy bar and a humbucker in your guitar you can thank Edward for that. Not to mention he put the first effects pedal board together, and i could go on. But as far as shredding goes. None come close to MAB,He is definitely up there.

[GodricDonolexious]

@Sean2592 "none come close to MAB" hmm, what about: Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Theodore Ziras, Shawn Lane, John Petrucci, Steve Vai. i can list atleast 20 more... there are many that are a shit load faster then MAB like that guy (cant remember his name) who's alternate picking speed was clocked at 28 notes per second.

[Sean2592]

@GodricDonolexious if you want to go at it that way than i go at it a little ways before even MAB. I mean Ed Van Halen has always picked really fast and done some minor arpeggio stuff, for instance in somebody get me a doctor or hot for teacher, etc. I've watched most of those you've listed. Paul Gilbert Buckethead and Yngwie, are nothing short of incredible, along with Petrucci, Vai is not a shredder. He's got the most unique style out there but not a shredder

[Rubenble]

Master Batio!

[obelisc1000]

@Rubenble  yeah i bet you want "masterBatio" all day dont you :P

[rettile99]

mito!!!

[liz588160]

does anyone have this dvd and did it help you improve more than other instructional dvd's out there?

[taxo]

i love kittens

[pgstroedan31]

whats the name of the song in the end of the video?

[skolnick14]

@pgstroedan31 its called rain forest.

[freddy692000]

he is like i am gonna teach u the simple stuff "alternate picking .economy picking" and then u expect scales or something and he is like "string skipping tapped argeggios" and i am like "oooooook......"

[bengoshia]

dont do da banana

[sk8boarder125]

Michael angelo batio is the best!

[enoboye]

What does that little index and pinky symbol mean?

[NolitaDenise]

@enoboye - Think Dio.

[terainwer]

SHRED LORD

[terainwer]

SHRED LORD

[kguitar765]

IF YOU KIDS WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY LIKE THIS FOR REAL THEN GET MY GUITAR TEACHING DVD VIDEO!!!!!YAHOO.... KEVIN HALL GUITAR...

[JamesGod08]

Who gives a shit about 'emotion', shred on!

[terainwer]

@JamesGod08 yeah...i like it SHREDY and FIERY

[DaveMustaineOwns]

@terainwer r u guys serious? lol

[kguitar765]

I got my photo with him and that two necked guitar in Irvine 5 years ago..

[guitarmessiah95]

is this dvd actually good and usefull?

[Mynamesbob8]

Malmsteen does incorporate some emotion into his pieces but MAB also does as well and anyone who hasn't needs to listen to Rain Forest by MAB, It's a perfect example.

Besides I love when MAB goes into insane shred mode. It's great music to get pumped too.

[DragonForcebest]

@Mynamesbob8 and Michael has not so much ego

[TheJandLtv]

lol i have that guitar

[madistik]

Does anyone else notice that guitar is half of one of his double guitars. Do they separate or did he break it.

[N1nja32]

@madistik might just be a seperate model

[RealRock993]

@madistik Its able to break in half so he can put both pieces in guitar case and go on the road

[aruizi]

@RealRock993 Actually, every double guitar is made with two separate guitars that get assembled in the double one.

[PrivateMartin89]

I love this DVD I saw it in my local grocery store & grabbed it right away. It's so well put together & comprehensive. Best 10$ I ever spent.

[elpisiyun369]

how much was that?

[guitarballa07]

How does malmsteen not have emotion? I agree with you on him being a dick, because i know people who have met him. But he is good fo sho and his songs and playing are full of emotion.

[ElevatedSouls09]

actually if u knew anything about malmsteen then u would know that his style is a perfect contrast between speed and emotion...slowing down is how malmsteen conveys his emotion but equally so when he plays fast and graceful as well

[christianRTR]

what song it playing in the background towards the end?

[Wakasix]

rain forest, its a beatiful amazing song

[xomanowar42]

the same song that was playing at the start

[K1rkHammet]

GUITARWORLD SUCKS! I BOUGHT A DVD CALLED "HOW TO PLAY HARD ROCK& HEAVY METAL"  Man, IT SUCKED!! THEY'RE JUST SHOWING US THE WRONG THING! DON'T BUY ANYTHING WITH SONGS TAB FROM THOSE GUYS. I lost 30$ 'cause of this bullshit.. But I don't know about Michael angelo batio.. or ofc I know who he is! But If he is teaching us wrong.. hmmm

[pablo5550123]

You do know malmsteen has the personality of a bull and wouldnt piss on you if you where on fire ?

batio is one of the nicest, and greatest guitarists out there, he slows down in songs unlike malmsteen who blazes through at lightspeed and complete predictabillity.

[sprite384]

I love deans!

[hoang1428]

U know in the past few years they lower their qualitiy on guitars like super low? i hope they are putting more effort to making guitar and gettiing better as a company again

[flowerdrop1]

@sprite384 head stock is hideous

[GolecWTF]

@sprite384 My Angel Of Deth rocks!!!

[red18warrior]

Yeah Michael Angelo is one of the most awesome guitarists... And he got fatter this time..

[lespaulvideo]

I really dig that guitar!!!

Never really heard his guitar playing though?

[TheFunkify]

Have a look at No Boundaries.

[hoang1428]

WTF that guitar hes holding is one side of a double guitar

i didnt know u cant atke it off

[kolyo2588]

Dude if you didnt know , you dont know s*** about Michael , or about guitars

[hoang1428]

i do know about guitsr

[Nejizero666]

It seperates in the middle, as you can see from this, he said it used a U.S. airline flight latch to keep it together, the main reason for taking it apart is for storage I'd assume, you'd have to have an obnoxiously large case to put it in whole lol.

[OKaeporaGaeboraO]

ALRIGHT M-A-B!

[elementskater94]

so does anybody have this?

if u do is it any good

[gwarslayer666]

epic hair...

[DragonForcebest]

what is this song in background called?

[nblax41]

Rain Forest

[ReapersShredder]

MAB-Wherever i may roam (Metallica cover)

[DragonForcebest]

lol it´s Forest Rain and not a Metallica cover lol

[luckyguitar123]

lol it's Rain Forest not Forest Rain

[DragoniteAus]

you Klutz it's Rain Forest and already Nblax41 just helped you out

[coffinfeeder2007]

i would imagine he does guitar clinics where he goes around doing exhibitions and endorsing products alot, he has been doing the metal method videos since the 80s and was also on one called starlicks videos where i first heard of him, besides that i imagine he has a band that he does his own shows with so he kinda does it all.

[tcherassi1]

is this guy like a teacher....?? i dont get it i mean..hes fucking awsome but is he supposed to be famous as in...he does concerts and stuff...or hes jsut like a good teacher or somethn?? can someone plz explain

[hiitsmcjosh]

well it is impossible for him to tour nonstop the entire year, so he does other stuffz to get money(as if he needs any more...)

[tcherassi1]

oooh ok....wow..i want him to be my teacher..lol...

[aaciseric]

He started out as a guitar teacher but then he hit it big with the band Nitro, then moved on to doing his solo albums but he does a lot of instructional videos because he has such a large amount of knowledge about music theory and guitar playing, so he passes it on, the GW being one of the many ways he does this. Really great guy as far as i'm concerned.

[xxTriviumFreakxx]

He has a band called Nitro

[Obliviateable]

He WAS member of a band called Nitro. He's solo now.

[theincredibleiannune]

Nitro's Lead Singer Can Break glass When he screams and also maried to Lita Ford. Click up Nitro And See But What's his name? I Forget.Oh Yeah! Mr. Lita Ford

[DragoniteAus]

dude he was in the band, it disbanded right after Glam Metal Died out

[luckyguitar123]

Are you dumb? Oh I see, you are American.

[panteraman44]

and you are? fuck you ya dumb minority

[BaphometStudios]

wow minority pleasantly put man

why not try ignorant instead cause obviously people are biased to ill willed people who just don't like americans and look only at a vast majority of the people and then say "hey they're american, if one acts like a jackass then the rest must be jackasses as well!!" congrats luckyguitar123 you have been dubbed as an ignorant narrow minded jackass just as you saw americans, congrats once more

[luckyguitar123]

Actually I don't believe all americans are stupid, but most of them are. For example, I find theamazaingatheist or George Carlin to be incredibly smart people, and they are both americans , well the point is that I was just trying to piss off some people because something you can't deny is that MOST americans are not patriotic, they are nationalist, they think they have the best country in the world, and to me, that's stupid. And what about panteraman44?

[metalheadbasist]

lol gd 1

[almostsk8er01]

haha! that comment made my day

[JonnieS700]

such a legend "shred master " shred master lol

[guitarworldlessondvd]

Great Technique

[davidarlette]

So is it worth buying? I was hoping for a short demo.

[mad00002]

I doubt it. Most of Mikey's instructionals are about showing a bunch of licks fast and slow. He doesn't say much on how to practise which is, of course, the most important sort of info he could relate to other guitarists.

[MACEMusicInc]

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.

[w00th3fck]

[FIndelCOB]

[bobkat321]

Hey Yurtle.

Go & Check Out Rain Forest By MAB.

Maybe Your Opinion Of Him Playing

100000 Notes Might Change.

He Does Have A Soul Too.

Yes Some Players Do Overkill,

But Not A Bad Thing To Play

Different Techniques In Context.

[Sparda455]

Well he played as the devil in shock em all

[sillyhatday]

ahhh sweet. lol i always pronounced his last name like bosh-ee-yo. but he says bay-tee-o in the vid.

[YurtleTheTurtle]

haha, he can play 1000000 notes but bb king can floor him with just 1

[GojiraProgeny]

LMMFAO!! TOTALLY TRUE!!

[funnyguy1321]

yea dude. MAB's sound is so generic. and people that are defending him that keep saying that hes got soul. shut up really. ive heard some of the blues stuff he does. it sounds like a computer was playing it. its too perfect. almost like Dragon Force records.

[Raffael900me]

o hellhyea garbage batio is shit

[alfie987654321]

so r u but no 1 else is complainin

[scumbagcarrol]

...hmm...is it me or does MAB not really suit being all evil and synyster with the horns and voice and stuff...=S

Ah well still one of THE best players in the world!
