Tribute to Randy - Michael Angelo Batio

[BloodTar]

Hell of a tribute. I'm sure Randy would have been honored.

[thelocalmusicshop]

This is a great tribute, because it was in Michael Angelo's style, with slight hints of Randy. RR would have DEFINITELY appreciated the arpeggios as fills for his chords and the sub riffs he did for Randy's classic 3 note open string pull offs.

Good Man!!!

[eramir228]

God, Michael may be a great guitarist, but I just never cared for him. The man appears to stand for the term, "Overkill" with the guitars stuff. I look and him and can't help but laugh at his strange outfits and the fact that he wears a wig, but dammit, this is one awesome tribute to the Greatest Guitarist Ever!

[FLAMINGSTRINGZ]

i love his chromatic fills i laugh my ass off listening to em

GREAT GUITARIST

and good for him, Randy's the man

[xAxCxxDxCxRxUxLxExS]

this guy makes dragonforce look bad :P RocK' on MAB!

[slipknot4life6661]

@xAxCxxDxCxRxUxLxExS thats cause dragonforce are bad haah there just digital effects and stuff

[tate180]

NO!

[reptomasa]

sorry NeoGeoFanatic, but i like this cover better than yours lol

[oceans34]

@ 4:28 it sounds like he borrows a few arpeggios from Jason Becker's Serrena

[MrGodam29]

COOL love those randy licks..i wouldnt mind havin a cd of him doin covers...

[MrGodam29]

@MrGodam29 this fukin kiks ass.....damnalmite.I

[IreneOfTheSchiff]

It is so sad that more people know dragonfags then MAB. ..right? p.s. This rules!

[IreneOfTheSchiff]

sorry dragonforce... :)

[synfan7x]

Damn this guy is just plain awesome MAB rocks

[NickLikesToSweepPick]

Awesome solo and hail Micheal Angelo...but why is MAB playing garbage amps? Looks like a Marshall MG series and B-52. Such garbage crates.

[realfun1sher]

@NickLikesToSweepPick but he still makes it sound great

[MrSRBIJADOTOKIJA]

NO ONE S LIKE RANDY no one michael fake angelo coud be like you buddy RIP :((

[erpuzzetta01]

@MrSRBIJADOTOKIJA: Wow. Nice opinion there. M.A.B is better. But, there is something R.R. had that he don't; rythm.

[whoshotya117]

@erpuzzetta01 Apparently you haven't seen No Boundaries.

[erpuzzetta01]

@whoshotya117: Yes, I have. What are you referring to?

[whoshotya117]

@erpuzzetta01 There's plenty of rhythm in that song.

[whoshotya117]

@MrSRBIJADOTOKIJA Michael isn't trying to be him or be "fake" It's a TRIBUTE for fucks sake.

[tristtann666]

This tribute is truley amazing nothing less and everything more.

[ConspiracyUnfolds]

the beginning of Mr.Crowley solo just brings chills lol

[Aranya009]

@ConspiracyUnfolds I LOVE the way they use that song in Brutal Legend!

[LlamaTheory]

He's a great technical player, and I swear I try to like his style. But fuck, it's waaay over the top. The best parts of this tribute are when he's playing exactly what randy recorded. Once he gets into his own shit its just silly fast scales. There's no soul to it. Still wish I could play like that though.

[JeremyFriggenLeger]

@LlamaTheory are you talking about the bits like 1:03 and 1:42, because i agree. the rest is amazing though.

[Mikitito10]

si alguien conoce un mejor que este porfavor mandenme el video pero por el momento siento que es el mejor de todos, ok, bye saludos a todos....

[betoneto666]

awevo.....!!!

[FLAMINGSTRINGZ]

ther comes a time in life wen all black leather n fuckin chains jst duznt work nemor tht time 4 mab came 20 years ago man

[Mindfreakfan11]

Man, M.A.B is the freakin man! he is a god on the guitar and this was a awesome performance in memory of randy. M.A.B makes me feel not worthy to ever pick up a guitar again xD

[metalkills55]

@Mindfreakfan11 M.A.B should inspire you to pick up a guitar. not never pick one up again. that's the point of playing. to become better and use great guitar gods such as himself to inspire you.

[ManbeastClm]

dang taking an epic song and making it more your style that take a great guitarist RIP Randy

[Aterseco]

Dude Batio, much respect man. You took my Idols songs and tweaked them into your style. It sounded great man. Hats off to you

[80smetalking3]

whats with all the shit talk?? he didnt rip randy! it was a tribute!!! he played in honor of randy. and added his own style. i dought he can write like randy but he sweeps and plays faster (once ya get past the spinal tap hair ). he has alot of skill. just because he dosent get the press of an eddie or a vai or a satch dosent mean hes not a good ax man!!!

[jimmypage4ever]

and Randys still the master, Batios great but this doesnt do Randy much justice.

[jimmypage4ever]

lmao, that face he made at 1:10 made this video even more worth watching

[dandanrebolation]

mano muito foda esse cara muito zika...

[thebigcookie12]

look at his right hand at 0:13 hes not realy playing! or the sound might just be off

[Thunderbirdmagic183]

@thebigcookie12 he hit the 5 way toggle u dumbass

[moroney88]

What a spanner? Pure entertainment tho. Sickenin talent. and lovely boots. I can´t believe he ripped off mr crowley AND crazy train. Just takin it too far.

[nwcavertingoureyes]

then what is a tribute to Randy WITHOUT Randy music?

[SonsofLiberty740]

second!^^

[demonata2]

i swear his fingers are on steroids or sumthing but still f**king awesome playing MAB = god of rock

[chowderfan1285]

I think thism dude has autism.

[guysapire]

i am the only one that hears a full band (drums bass and guitar) but sees only the guitar? O.o

[yanmingyuyu]

backing track

[guysapire]

lol i knew that ... i was trying to make a stupid conversation XP

[yanmingyuyu]

oh lol XD

[nightbringer757]

I'm not in no way undermining Michael's guitar skills and believe I'm it's mind blowing at the very least but man it may be time for a new hairdo, it looks like a mop on top of his head.

[309633246]

I know, at first I thought it was a wig on him

[guitarman46464646]

@309633246 it is a wig haha

[309633246]

@ guitarman46464646, the only way to prove that is if you actually went up and tugged on his hair but I think he just uses a lot of hairspray to get that helmet head effect. I could be wrong though!

[guitarman46464646]

@309633246 he came to my local music store a couple years ago and he had brown hair and it totally looked like a wig but idk maybe he dyed his hair to black now but also do you notice how he never really headbangs haha idk tho

[drporkchop234]

umm is it just me or does he look like nigel tufnel?anyway holy shit this is amazing

[Hasjhus]

This song Michael kicked ass on!

[theincredibleiannune]

He Looks Like One Of The Wayouts From The Flintstones And That's Where The Fun At. Wayout. WAYOUT!

[LoveGuitarsNBruises]

"And he's kinda full of himself (show off) "

He totally does NOT deserve to show off, he's like only the fastest guitarplayer around... dumbass...

[cobes155]

He really has good taste and has some great knowledge of all the technical points in his work. I bought his guitar and though I am biased it has great playability. Dean really helped me out and even sent me his new album for free as a birthday gift

[slash4216]

this tribute is awesome but he woukd not be good with ozzy because he would show off to much

[Shadow722722]

i would totaly believe that conspiracy. they both have amazing skill. just one flaw though... i think randy was considerably shorter

[ryanonwheels12]

can anyone get a tab for this?

[funkytanky]

Fucking amazing. After that Randy is a shit

[Jkill619]

batio should be with ozzy it would legendary if he did i mean to rock gods in band

[verbalassalt08]

conspiracy theory....is that Randy at 55

[acalora123]

lool dude, funny stuff

[verbalassalt08]

one word  (legendary)

[zanderB93]

truly amazing !!!

[ckickens44]

All you guys ever comment on is about is freaking hair! you guys don't know the true meaning of music then! hiar doesn't matter!

[kinginsomnia]

unless, of course, you are in a hair metal band (which is all looks)

[Flakevee]

he's so fucking raw

[paulmaiden95]

exelent 5/5...

[RuiDores]

he truly needs to do something about his hair! damn! it looks like an over sized darth vader plastic helmet!!! it's ridiculous! And he's kinda full of himself (show off) but he's good as hell, that's for sure ;-)

[HemuliPemuli]

Die

[ibanez777vbk]

this guy has probs the worst hair ive ever seen.he looks like the haunted house and the grusome twosome from wacky race@s :)

[ZeldaxLegacy]

I don't like all of his stuff, but I bought this CD. It was absolutely great, and the only CD I've bought for years. Great cover of this song, I'm sure Randy woulda dugg it.

[Tscamp1]

he is just amazing everthing he plays is clean and perfect. I am not worthy to play guitar now.

[xxxGRENADESxxx]

If genies were real...

[carademierda909]

hes an OG (original guitarist)

[jaderoxas]

GUITAR GOD!!!!!

[stevemaster247]

just give him a guitar....any kind of guitar....i don't feel worthy holding a guitar after this...

[underRIPtaker]

Master of all things Guitar

[TropicOfThunder]

God Of Rock

[bluesschredder]

One of the best versions i heard better than jake e lee's idk bout zakks like em both alot

[fenderstrat6485]

[countrysucksallot]

[kobeodom24]

Stopp lieing

[countrysucksallot]

ok it was pretty fucking awsome!!!!!!!!!!!

[theantiwog]

wow crazy train is pretty good but MAB takes it to a new level

[spinyfish]

insane outragious playing . is it true that he is also a keyboard player? Randy"s one of the finest work

[TheOriginalSourBanan]

[PAPERCUT232000]

guitar god!!!!

[kobeodom24]

[Aggress1ve2007]
