I've been listening to this guy for years, when asked who I think is the best guitarist around, I tell them MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO. They usually have no clue who he is, then they watch a video and they see why I think he's the best around.
Michael Angelo Batio is LITERALLY the best guitarist on Planet Earth. I know this for a fact. He understands the theory of music like no other I’ve ever seen.
Incredible playing, especially for his age. This is one rocker who stayed clean, and that is evident by his speed and dexterity. Alcohol and drugs destroy talent.
Tinha brasileiro nesse show aí, hein. kkk Um dos melhores guitarristas de todos os tempos. Tenho certeza que ele fez muita mulecada passar a gostar de guitarra e ver solos impossíveis. Uma lenda viva!
I been jaming on my ax for years.. Influence b by Rhoads... Van halen..... Jimi... Sakk... Satriani... And especialy my personal favoite mr. Iommi... But when I first seen this guy i said HOLY SHIT!!!!!! He must have made a deal with the devil....lol ... This guy is total master class.. Hes got skills that just cant be taught.. amazing....
I usually don't watch the whole show, but I did... Very good Michael Angelo, your a great entertainer bro! From YOUR old roadie (one of many) Dan Hicks
Michael is the best guitarist in my heart, in terms of speed and also the way he expresses the emotions on his guitar. A warm hug from Hong Kong :) - T. Watson
Never have I been so mes mired in my life to listen to and watch guitar as this guy done to me.........now I could watch a drummer forever. This guy had me day dreaming back to my childhood and the hair metal I loved not to mention my love of music and all the talent that all bands and form of music I am so eclectic to. The double guitar really humbles me even though I cannot play any instrument to save my life.... I fully enjoyed watching and listening ... Michael Angelo you have a fan of devotion in me.
He's so cool he's so funny Michael you rock man he's also extremely human normal is just the average guy and an Italiano I love it! He talks with his hands a lot extremely colorful love this guy
Man's a living example of how to combine mastery and humility. The older I get the more I think that those might well be the 2 most important ingredients in becoming wise, in all disciplines.
Its awesome he lets the audience get to know him, I loved Nitro way back in the day...They dont realize what awesome treat it is to see a guitarist of his caliber and generation.
I am an italian master degre engineer but your job is more difficult and lift up the soul. U use both arms and brain (probably u have 2 brains) plus a degree in Music Theory. U are the biggest VIRTUOSO MUSICALE. Thank you for all, Doctor M.A. Batio Ti ASPETTO COL CUORE IN ITALIA
Mike was my childhood guitar teacher. I was amazed by Sophie Lloyd and asked her if I could take lessons (she said no). I only realized this week that Mike Batio, who I knew was ambidextrous but never showed off during lessons, was a similar shredder. Wish I had paid closer attention during our lessons!!!
Acompanho esse "monstro" da guitarra desde o final dos anos 80, nessa época eu brincava de tocar guitarra e cada vez que o assistia tocar (VHS)... tinha vontade de jogar minha seis cordas na parede (Uma Les Paul Giannini comprada no Mappin Praça Ramos de Azevedo)

When god said all soul that want to be rock and roll stars line up over here, apparently someone got themselves a double dose. I have been playing most of my adult life on and off, so i can really appreciate just how talented this man is , and as good as he is he never speaks ill of another player as in he is not good or as good as he is trust me very few players are any where near his level , way over the top. The closest match for this man in skill would be Glen Campbell , unfortunately we just lost him to alzheimer's recently. Glen had such a love for his music that he played as long as he could under the help of his wonderful daughter , many times he didn't realize that a tune they just played he announced they would be playing next , you see i knew him for entire day when i was a young man , called to do some tree work on his property, and by no real surprise he turned out to be quite a decent human being, absolutely wonderful to be around. I strongly recommend listening to him here on you tube, he will absolutely blow you away with tallant. I remember the day i worked for him ,. it turned out to be the biggest day ever est. and completion of job all in one day just over 5,000 dollars, 3 men 10 hrs. , also did work for Roy Clark , it was a much bigger job but i was there 3 days, seems Glen recommend me, like i said he was an absolute joy to just be around, both he and Roy .THESE GUYS WERE MY FATHERS HEROS he got so jealous when i told him where i worked at all day .
When Michael does tribute style covers of guitar legends, he is one of the few that can blend together a note for note cover of the song/solo while also ad libbing his own little add ons without spoiling the song and still paying tribute in an innovative way. I have never seen anyone cover songs and solos as nicely as he does. unfathomable. and I should add he is so good that he does not need to do covers but he does them in the spirit of paying tribute which takes a lot of love an humility.
I love this song. I adore Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, and Michael Angelo. I would like to be a singer in a band with this wonderful guitar hero. Thanks for the input.
I didn't know what to expect, I was ready to hear some bullshit but this dude Micheal Angelo shocked the fuck outta me. He's damn good. He's jammin all the same music I play and better than me.
WoW!! What a Beautiful SHow Mannn !!! YEahhH!!!!! ROck And Rolll !!!!!!! Michael Angelo is one of my Favorite Guitar PLaying for his UNIQUE STYLE MANN!!!! YEAHHHH !!!!!!!! :D :D You Rock MAnnn!!!! I love yaa !! From Quebec CAnada!!!!
