Michael Angelo Batio Interview DOA 2008 - Part 2

[JamesGod08]

I hope his hands are insured, that was one lucky driver that he didn't do any real damage or he would be in trouble

[Dani89Ltd]

him and Cooley are 2 of the fastest guitar players that i have heard,but i like Batio more because i know his music more ,and he is also keen on slow melodies and experimentations with warious scales and music theory...all in all great guitarist!

[SpankIEkzs]

Master !!

[jani14jani]

He is Genious. He shreds like grazy when he is talking O.O

[3daysfighters]

[Muchodelcrazy]

[hoang1428]

[FruitlessCRUNK]

AAAHAHAAH I JUST CAN SEE THIS HAPPING!

Mr.Batio I'm sorry, when we were unloading you're equpment we broke you're dubble guitar

He responds with this 2:32

[metallicatriviumPwN]

@FruitlessCRUNK LOL or 0:40

[DaveMustaineOwns]

@FruitlessCRUNK LMFAO, dude i CRIED when i clicked it

[kirkwanglers32]

Good guiatarist, must of helt like hell.

His hand trapped in the car. door.Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhh.

[brightbite]

I can barely listen to that story. I'm a dancer, and something similar happened to my foot. It was scary.

[nookie077]

I love the guys playing and down to earth vibe, but at 2:39 he gives the hand over the neck gesture and says he invented it...i'm sorry but that's wrong. I've watched some old clip from as far back as the 50's! with Les Paul where he flicks his left hand over the neck. I guess there is truth in it when I've heard people saying he invented shred. Either way MAB took it to the ultimate level.

[MrXorHomer]

What? i think he means his double guitar/quadruple

[nookie077]

I know what you mean, but that's why I double checked before posting. After! explaining how he invented the double guitar, he puts his hand over the neck and says "like I invented this thing" clearly referring to that gesture in particular.

[MadPuppets1]

no he was definitely talking about the double handed guitar

[nookie077]

You don't give any reason to why I'm wrong. After the double neck caption comes on screen he says "i invented that" obviously referring to the DN, do we agree so far? ok then. so, why would he need to say "like i invented this" right after if he was still talking about the DN? He's talking about two! separate inventions. If I'm wrong about let me know. And if you've just put that comment up to piss me off, you must be laughing your ass of right now.

[FLAMINGSTRINGZ]

4:55-7:12 is bull shit he saw a sax player playin 2 at once so he said "ill do that wit guitar!"

[thatguylouis]

ur mommas gay punk

[rkalamdani]

good one. eat a dick

[061792guy]

ur confusing me with your mom

[rkalamdani]

okay so you can throw a mom joke at me what are you 13? come up with something good

[MrXorHomer]

Your pretty much saying what he is, with out the mom part.

[soccerkarer]

- I'm left handed

- I play piano-

- I play right handed guitar

[TintedReasoning]

"Steve Vai has a fan blowing in his hair". Hahaha. Great interview, by the way.

[Adamdbzgt]

I got my left thumb caught in the door once.I couldnt play for a month.Dudes the man!

[xsaver1996]

he still played the show!

[christoffera]

2:30 lol :P

[haloshredder]

which concert is that ????

[christoffera]

I wonder how God (in heaven) would have played.. I mean, what can he do that Michael havnt done? xD

[gl5027]

wow i LOVE how at 3:07 he talks so non chalantly while playing sweeps and really quick alt. picking while i would scream my ass off if i could play a single arpeggio

[mattw8675]

i think he is better than what guitar one magazine voted him as

[Deuce2Deucage]

Oh my gosh, I love this guy. He knows what an Alberti Bass is! So many guitarists in this genre don't know their music theory, it's awesome that he knows his stuff!

[nemogre]

LOL again

[JesseS420]

dude you are a fucking douche. if you have ever seen mab play an acoustic you would think otherwise. watch speedkills 2 (rainforest)

[lowedt]

ha. vai has a fan blowing on him

[nemogre]

yeah! from all the amazing things steve does angelo says that steve's thing is the fan!!!! ;)

[rosseffect]

i thought that was the funniest/bitchiest thing i have ever heard.

[giglywiglygo]

who the hhhhell...shut the door...

[SeanDaleMitchell]

i'm starting to like MAB over Malmsteen. to me it seems that MAB is not as "all over the place".

[MacNitro]

He doesent compare himself with anybody, thats the point, and Mike is FAR more skillfull than Vai an Hendrix, so STFU!!

[chopskater]

I wouldn't say that he's more skillfull but he is pretty good.

[nemogre]

oh god how can you be such an IDIOT????? if it wasnt for hendrix this pekerhead would not exist!!! How dare you compare him to Hendrix you fucker?

[DeadmanSkater]

You wanna tell me how it makes ANY SENSE that if it weren't for Hendrix, Micheal wouldn't exist? That's so illogical, and yet you're calling someone an idiot. Jimi Hedrix was not a fast player. He was a skilled musician, but he was not fast. Therefore, Micheal is much more skilled at the guitar than Hendrix, case closed.

[nemogre]

you know? you have lost the point so much, that im bored to even begin explaining... forget it

[JesseS420]

dude you are fucking dumb. what you just said makes no sense at all because mab doesn't play hendrix shit. and also jimmy sucks the nads compared to mab. anyone can pick up a fucking guitar study some music theory. jimmy didn't make this guy exist you retarded fuck, you deserve a fucking shovel in the face for that shitty comment.

[nemogre]

lol

[nemogre]

its funny how he actually compares himself to hendrix and vai with such an ease... michael the most important thing is music and then comes the hand thing etc... and unfortunately you have to work more on your music

[rexreeper99]

He doesnt compare his playing to anybody!! just saying that he also has his own "trademark" when he plays!!

[Stealth2k]

lol haha, closed the door on his hands and had to play ;)

[KerSkater]

hitting wrong notes? thats impossible for the MAB lol. great interview

[raizenron]

yeah one of the best

[oo00o0oo0oo]

do you do guitar lessons?...lol
