Michael Angelo Batio - Rain Forest - Metal Method DVD

[Re1Mu2R3]

Man his technique is just perfect! Very minimal movement, Very fluid. Flawless performance.

[misterrapidin]

@Re1Mu2R3 thats correct he its almost perfect

[fretburner18]

I use his "Over Under" technique when I'm playing shows. A real crowd pleaser. Thanks MAB :D

[fretburner18]

I really need to buy these DVD's. I miss "Time to Burn" in GW. I'm a fan of both MAB and Yngwie, but it's clear that MAB has better instructional DVD's haha

7.Michael Angelo Batio

[17Gaara17]

i love the composition of this song. his playing is so sublime, but at the same time it kicks ass. much respect MAB.

[metallicas123]

I saw him play this live at a samash music store on feb. 16 . Blew my fuckin mind .

[guitar17johnny]

it's a funny thing, that people tend to say that only the left hand is important when playing guitar. But to me, what makes Mr. Batio superior is his right hand technique. I've never seen someone play more economic whilst still being unique

[PartyDelicious]

Michael A Batio is insane good on the guitar. This is AWESOME!

This is Fantastic.

Greetings from Norway.

[guitarded715]

Right before a show, I watch his videos, even more inspiring than his skill is perhaps his comfort on stage. He's up there all alone, not only in front of people usually, but a camera. With a difficult and high risk performance. If he can do this, it inspires me to do the same, and influences my improv. Mr. Batio is an inspiration to all musicians

[Threadsoftime1992]

What is Michael's preferred string size and style? Anyone know?!

[Halamax]

wow... Michael Angelo Batio is not a shredder. Hes a guitar wizard. Yngwie Malmsteen sucks when it comes to comparing them! ;D \m/

[harackmw]

I love the bit at the end where he plays notes from the beginning of Eruption, by Eddie Van halen. I believe Yngwie did the same thing back in the day, but with his teeth. LOL. I love the opening theme of this song, has an exotic feel to it.

[dkzkirla]

ERUPTIOOON!!!!!! :D

[lordofutub]

how about we see more michael angelo batio video clips on mtv instead that useless crap

how about it guis?!

[guitardude671]

@lordofutub im with ya i absolutely hate pop music

[MetalShreader]

So underrated for this amount of talent

[raphaeljesussr2]

The Lord...

[MetalT95]

tHis song is so fucking good And its from the best guitarplayer everytime

[spudzdad1]

Possibly one of the nicest down to Earth guys ever.Met him at a clinic in Florida.Stayed until the last person left,signed everything any one wanted.

[lawsonbutcher]

Who is the original maker of Rainforest? It's a song from the 80s I think. What is its name I've been searching for it frantically.

[snooloui04]

@lawsonbutcher

I'm sure it's one of his own songs.

[MACEMusicInc]

@snooloui04 Yes, Rain Forest was written by Michael and released on his first solo CD called "No Boundaries."

[MrNorthernloon]

You Rule like Ceaser did. frickin A

[havanakings]

FUKINN!!!!A

[strangerheart]

this is awesome!

[champfodz1212]

The eruption on the end, make this song PERFECT!

[smacman68]

I still get into those beer fueled "who's the greatest guitarest ever" arguments with my friends (I know, childish and imature, but fun!) and when I show this video to them, I always win! I bought his Armorflame guitar last month and I can't put it down! It is a reflection of the man himself. Ir sounds better than everyhting else I played and I walked out of the store with money still in my pocket. MAB is the Guitar God of our time, and of all time!

[nintendo23456]

i saw him live :D

it was awesome

[AgentSpiral]

Look at his accuracy,jesus christ.The man doesn't fucking miss a note.It's like if he wants to play something he just can,there is no thought process for the almighty BATIO!

[TheAteam4eva]

@AgentSpiral Took the words right out of my mouth. 100% clean sweep and alternate picking. No buzz, not a single note ringing too long. All with distortion...and apparently without effort. Astonishing

[kaseiable]

wheh!!!

[orologiaioinutile]

Perfect

[streetcrazy]

I'd love to see Michael play with Orianthi. Talk about two guitar gods together. But until and i then, Michael's solos and guitar skills will continue to ooze with talent and musicgasm.

[aaa8181]

@streetcrazy orianthi isnt even a guitar amateur; she doesn't deserve to be in the same state as Micheal Angelo Batio. I do agree with your second statement however, you couldn't be anymore correct there.

[guvencates]

0:00 - 0:54 BEST PART

[Sortediabolli]

0:35 - 0:50 obliterating riff. Should have named the song "Incineration" or something...

[MrJohnnys619]

Michael Angelo Batio is the best quitar player i've ever known and would really like to meet him and teach me how to play the 3/10 that he is playing.

Once again Michael Angelo is the best!!!

[xrayracer1]

@MrJohnnys619 he is brilliant!! ive seen other guitarists play and none of them are able to do the thing that he can do, for example play both right hand and left handed guitars....... at the same time!!!!

[XxXNaPuLiTaNXxX]

my favourite guitarist !!!!!

greattttt!!!!

[panamajack05]

I wonder if all the people who clicked dislike were caucasian females...because all they listen to is that crying-ass R&B bullsh*t that sounds like they're talking out of a computer...

[GrunesMannchen]

there's one thing i rly dont understand, all the people watching a dude shred pretty good and they're saying its rly good,ok, but when they watch a supershredder like MAB they're like "*cry* he gives no emotion" decide pls?? emotion or speed?

[mmim4]

damn it the intro is so damn awsome then at :35 that riff is so alive and feels great

[MrGarfed]

Where do all these idiots giving thumbs down to and/or talking crap about MAB come from? Can they not comprehend how it takes actual TALENT and REFINEMENT to do something as genius as this? I swear these stupid naysayers are just jealous of MAB's just about one-of-a-kind technique that few, if no one, can pull off. Either that, or they're just mindless zombies of whatever crap that MTV/VH1/Rolling Stone spouted out of their a-holes.

[Peteru69]

Rain forest goes pretty well with rainymood C:

Gives you that extra awesome. I've always liked this, with or without rain. It always had thunder though, \m/

[TheUltraDarkMagician]

nothing better that a shred with emotion... a masterpiece

[dmundeart]

Michaelangelo is the best ever!!!!

[Blacklabelskata]

how can you dislike this ??

[GOUDIE12]

lol, I'll say this once again. While utterly SHITTING their pants in amazement, 190 people accidentally nailed the dislike by mistake :o

[jonnyb2020]

would love to be able to play as cleanly at the speed he does :| its insane

[mmim4]

the intro riff is jus so damn unique and sounds epic its a soothing sound fukin great song love mab keep replaying the intro

[Russiaizfun]

Mr. Marks,

I have been a MAB fan for about 4 years now, i have bought 5 of his 6 speed kills\lives dvds and own every one of his cd's, not to mention a string dampener, and i would like to ask if you and michael can come together to create a speed lives for this song. Its only better is No boundaries. Im positive that all of the people who like his music and his instructionals would love to learn this song. So please can you talk to michael and see if you cant make speed lives - rain forest?

[dmarks1]

@Russiaizfun I'll talk to Michael about it. We tend to do one DVD a year. This might be a good one for next year.

[555ShadowStar666]

@dmarks1 Please do it man!!!

[chhrriissss]

@dmarks1

Hell yeah If you do I'll buy it Micheal is my great inspiration to me !!! I love his work his master pieces and I saw him live it was the best thing in my live !!!!!

And thank to you, mr. marks you did a great job also ;) !!!

keep on rock'n

[risingforce1]

@dmarks1 Yes, another Speed Lives would be great :)

[JohnSoloGuitarist]

@dmarks1 I would have to suggest a special Speed Lives 2010 two disc set that teaches the two most popular and requested songs. Rain Forest and Prog! the question for Prog is even on Metal Method's customer service section so thats an obvious sell. Consider this idea as it can be done!

[NinjaSmoke666]

@dmarks1 any reply from Mr. Batio?

[MasterDeathLightning]

the slow playing he does sounds better musically that the fast stuff but the fast stuff is just fuckin awesome

[voodooorc]

just awsome

[whit3boitay]

why cant they have a love button..i freakin love this MAB is a beast

[Mine172]

This man is a genius

[shdezyn]

Whoever hit dislike for this needs to go fuck themselves and crawl in ditch

[Jed9133]

this is epic!

[Theraaaman1]

awsome :D



[Troutster420]

how could u not like this

[mmim4]

the intro is badass

[KellerDude4]

Lol, random Eruption lick at the end? haha.

[Buzzzzzkill]

@KellerDude4 I kno Rite?? I think that was a tribute to EDDIE there :)

[standalonee]

I still have hope that there will be an instructional dvd for this song.

[ncrb9693]

@standalonee im pretty sure like five or so years ago I bought a magazine and it had a disc with him explaining a bunch of songs including this one.

[kakaranoku]

Best guitar player, of all world.

[Padrigg89]

Die Frisur!

[mastersgta1]

If I could play like MAB, I'd try to get gigs where I get paid by the notes...

[Moodyz3]

Since when Michael Angelo had a tattoo! I Never knew..

[WhiteFiretv]

the rock in his heart is in the face

[ChewyCervantes]

What's thst sunburst Dean called?! The Hardtail?!

[thekidJess]

@ChewyCervantes those are custom guitars they make for him

[dukeofdarkness666]

@thekidJess no they are a standard guitar its a dean hard tail.... they sell them in mass

[zacot12345]

@dukeofdarkness666 Actually that hardtail is a limited release USA Dean Hardtail, he and 299 other lucky/wealthy people got it at the NAMM event one year. They still make replicas though.

[Scars831]

this is my favorite song

[ILoveMarielSantos]

ya the 186 no use in this earth people who clicked dislike are SOOOOO VEEERRRRY JEEAAALOOOUS of Sir MAB. They're so very dumb. So dumb they do not have to go to school. lml

[MilkHypogrotic]

hes looking like he coulda play as a guitarist from the band bring me the horizon xD

[ILoveMarielSantos]

He's so godly. Has he had any genetic relation with Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman or Joe Satriani? OMG.

[Acecombatgamer]

at the end i heard a little van halen eruption lol. I LOVE THIS DUDE (NO HOMO)

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

I have this on dvd

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

I have this on dvd. Bah-Tee-Oh

[mmim4]

if i had a dollar for everytime he missed a note id still be broke

[InAGaddaDaVida29]

@mmim4 You wouldn't just be broke, you'd be heavily surrounded by debt, 'cause he's so damn good.

[Cache069]

@mmim4 Or let me rephrase that : If i had a dollar for every time he hit a note I'd be a millionaire :P

[yargnalabocaj11]

@mmim4 i would agree with that.

[Kimmortality]

@mmim4 nice one :D

[OliOsbourne]

@mmim4 If I had a dollar for every not he hit...

[pbmdh]

I'll take a penny for every note he has played in his lifetime.

Can't imagine how much that would be.......

[iZephyr100]

His pinky is the true hero!

[Rhoadsfan0123]

i hate how ppl say tht buckethead is better thn MAB even though he is good noone is as great as MAB. except the great RANDY RHOADES!!!

[ShrededToDeath]

@Rhoadsfan0123 hahaha yeah man, lol buckethead, such an overrated guitarist.

[Aristotelezz]

Great stuff!

[blazeK98]

5:42 ohh man I use the thumb too :O

[LiketheDeath616]

[Mustaine]

[toysoldier321985321]

183 people had their screen upside down when they hit the thumb

[thatguy5769]

Look at me IM micheal angelo batio and I can bring the dead back to life with my music. He resurrected Jesus.

[cody13smith]

@thatguy5769

He ressurected Jesus and then blew his mind out just as quickly. So jesus is once again dead.

[stuartgibb]

This is one of the most perfectly written songs ever! :) Sneaky and stealthy at first, just building up, and leaves you thinking, "Did I just get hit by a fuckin' TRUCK?!"

[ExecutivePwnage]

MY EARS!!! THEY CAME!

[ZanMatou666]

genious.i wonder when was the last time he missed a note^^

[thrasha666]

@ZanMatou666 march 18th 1972

[elsmano]

[megadreamdether29]

[fretburner18]

Thank you MAB for showing me the over, under technique. I use it at shows all the time and it's definitely a crowd pleaser ;)

[guitarpro001]

a guitarist that truly deserves his hype

it been a long time

[raphaeljesussr2]

The God...

XD...

[Zerathul7]

this is why MAB is one of the greatest of all times!!

[Toddstikels]

My aim in life is to play all of MABs Songs...

[fire168fighter]

You are a fucking god

[MaxvonHagens1980]

He play the guitar with his Soul ;) Very very nice his music !!!

[lallalallalalla]

6:22 seems like a little tribute to Van Halen's eruption :)

[SasukesMagic]

I love him...in a friendly way...

[qwecars]

that guitar looks alot like the PRS Custom 24 except for the top horn (cutaway).

[norjoker]

@qwecars I got a PRS custom 22 and i was thinking the same thing, I haven't seen a dean shaped like that before.

[mattback23]

this man is awesome

no pretention only talent

[elortibamal]

the best

[jakems19]

I actually played this a few years ago. Should have recorded it. Im not learning it again lol

[dsison01]

MAB is better at guitar then most people are at relieving waste.

[sky01100111]

STELLAR !

[Exorcized1]

That's what i call beauty ! He is amazing shredder , but not just that ! He play with so much soul ! By listening to him u understand why its " let the music drive the technique " !

[Musicman1ify]

Nice!!!!!

[kirk45hammett]

lol eruption in the end

[vigcs]

What kind of guitar is he using? It looks kinda like a PRS but the head seems different.

[mrmasterofguitar]

he's playing anywere i roam version mab yeah \m/

[Batcat1313]

I love you hair alot better this way handsome genius

[nintendo4ever123]

*bows in the dust* O_O

[04roza]

MAB is a fuckin genius !!! he's not just all speed :P wihtout doubt one of the best guitarists if the best :) NITRO FTW :P

[MrButchito]

I've been listening to this guy since the 80's and let me tell you he has all the elements of progressive jazz,fusion etc. a very undrerrated musician who happens to play heavy metal.

[ImperialArmour]

I'm a dude, but I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!

[bassist718]

all hail the king of shred!

[razvan115]

Exelent !

[Lerborn]

at 6:20 i think he plays some "Eddie van halen stuff", but im not sure

[Vexus666]

That has to be a PRS as I don't know of any other guitar that can produce such a sweet and heavy crunch. I say this because you know that he's not using a lot of distortion. Beautiful.

[emerica954954]

i hate that 180 people who didnt likt this video, same on them! =/

[dirtydonki]

Wow at last someone on YouTube who can actually play.

[joejoe9207]

[areposo]

[Colton527]

Fucking badass!

[idontwanacare]

My ears just had a major orgasm!!!

[michiero]

:))

[Zirngibel]

The beginning sounds like a Metallica song, just the first minute of the song.

[ALDabbagh1988]

I dont see a guitar player, I see a Genius

[kennyschenker]

alright, can someone tell me which dean model is he using in this video?

[Giftwrappedtaco]

His hair is so... perfect..

[mdeonx16]

Virtuosity is not an outgrowth, it's an achievement.

[xs5ukbrx]
