Tribute to Randy - Michael Angelo Batio 

He's fast but so smooth that you can hear all the notes when he shreds... I would like to be able to play like this :)

Michael angelo is the one i can hear everynote he played,evey note is very very clean,no matter how fast he plays

I love how he screams "Randy!" at 4.15.. he's so into the song.. great person and player...

On the other hand... a lot of people recognize his talent. He was recently chosen in the Guitar World reader's poll as the number one shred guitarist.

I closed my teary eyes & heard Randy play'n again...from heaven. Nobody alive can capture the essense of a tribute as Michael Angelo Batio does. Flawless, dynamic, and with an unmistakeable respectful personal signature which enhances the original without intending to over shadow it. Bless you Michael. Rest in peace Randy.

MAB is receiving worldwide recognition. He was just voted as the #1 shredder in the Guitar World reader poll.

Randy Rhoads would be proud!

I ALWAYS GET THE CHILLS WHEN LISTENING TO THIS TRIBUTE!!! This specific rendition was FREAKING AMAZING!!! (sorry for the caps!)

If i were randy, id be honored that MAB wanted to cover my songs

This dude is. A monster.....!

I've said it a thousand times and I shall say it again. The greatest shredder and the greatest tribute to randy to have ever emerged! People who say Batio has no soul have never obviously heard this song! Rock on Batio and long live the spirit of Randy!

what talent, great playing, fast and with feel!!

MAB - your interpretation of Rhandy is outta this earth. You can relate to his soul perfectly. RIP Rhandy. Well done MAB. Both are metal guitar gods

This is what heaven sounds like.

This song gives me chills, its like he is possessed by the spirit of Randy as he plays Randy would be happy to know people are still paying their respects to him, all these years later RIP Randy Rhoads

He plays so cleanly and his phrasing is so good! Wow!! Amazing guitarist.

no body can beat this guy, come on he's truly is the best when it comes down to speed

King Of the arpegios !!

Wow, he's just got so much skill it's amazing to see someone play an instrument so fluidly like he does. Great tribute.

in my whole 16 years of life, i have never seen or heard anyone else who can do a great tribute to randy.... mab is the only one hwo can do a superb tribute to randy

Nice outfit,I want it. Man,I sure do miss Randy I love that people keep his memory alive by playing these awesome songs.

Is that a freight train rollin threw? No it's just Michael Angelo!

omg, i love how he turned an already awesome solo in to his own awesome solo

this is amazing, simply amazing

I loved the variations of the neoclassical outro!!!!

Michael and I have worked together since the early 90's. I produce his instructional DVDs. It's not that I "own" these videos, we're partners.

hey i was at the the main cellar in hickory and he played this i couldnt help head-banging good job michael ur the best

This Guy is Amazing in playing the Electric Guitar I love you Michael Angelo!

3:08 is the most impassioned part of the song; I love this lick. RIP Randy Rhodes...

The talent NEVER ends and this is a endless talent...We all have the gift if we can just see beyond our limitations...

MAB is a legend. This is the best tribute ever. R.I.P. Randy.

MAB is the GOD of rock. Fastest shredder alive. I hope that one day I can play like him.

best part was how he redid randy's "crazy train" solo almost note for note, but added his own style to it...very impressive. he "untapped" the tapping part =O

Always when someone say the name "Michael angelo Batio" i will remember this video! They are are GOD of guitar!!

I can't put in words how AWESOME this is

Michael Angelo Batio is in a class by himself. Simply and unbelievable guitarist.

my favorite guitarist of the mid 90s

What an artist, one of the best!

Thumbs up for Batio for a crazy.. perfect... performance. So I say hes the best. So thumbs up!!!!

Greetings from Poland! Michael you're the best!

crazy train and mr Crowley have been my favorite songs of ozzy and randy, and wathcing Batio playing them is like a dream come true

Simply Amazing!

its soooo good.... makes me cry..

amazing and inspiring

Absolutely amazing, imagination couldn't improve on this.

MAB is the fastest shredder ever, its unreal how he makes his sweeps sound so clean!

Holy S..... This is Fuckin AMAZING, Randy Roads lives in those Arpegios¡¡¡¡¡¡

This is now my most favorite video on RU-vid BY FAR! Wow.

this is what I call a good cover.

Holy fuuuuuuck!! It sounds super fuckn sick! Thank you baby Jesus for his talent !

Vocal Power by Michael's freind and partner Jim Gillette.

3.08 - 3.15 Its just amazing! I love that part!!

a masterpiece that is the only way i can describe it

i absolutely love this guy

RIP Randy...

w00t! this is a great performance and I can't wait to get SL2

Love this song..i love Randy..We messi you

That shift to 'Mr. Crowley' is to die for.....love love it

A tribute to Randy, awesome.

Thanks. I'm in between projects right now so I have some extra time on my hands. I don't want to start anything new until after the holidays. When I get busy working on stuff I don't have time to do this. When I've got the time, I enjoy this.

what a great tribute,rhandy is looking down and clapping his hands

hes getting better every year, i dont think anyone can pass him at this point

The new Speed Lives 2 DVD by Michael Angelo Batio teaches the song "Hands Without Shadows" and is now available at metalmethod com

screaming shredding undisputedley incredible........ are you reading this,MAB??? show me and my strat the path that you took---DAMN You Are Good !!! Dwayne rio vista,CA

I wonder, As good as Randy was all those years ago. Which is still to this day mind blowing to me. How good would he be now? R.I.P Randy Awesome Tribute to the Man! He arpeggiated the tapping parts! Amazing!

THE ONLY GUY THAT KNOWS HOW TO PUT EMOTION INTO SHREDDING

I don't know how to play a guitar, and i dont intend to learn right now, but i think i'll buy MAB's DVDs just for the face-melting-awesomeness of it.... =D

ITS AMAZING

The best stuff on earth just got better

Its awesome how he can shred and play classic rock type stuff like crazy train.

DUDE, THAT WAS SO DAMN GOOD

Plus Michael is a really great person, not only a great guitarist.

incredible!!!!!!!!!

he is a god, cant find other word to describe him!!!!

excellent way of describing it

Awesome!

LOVE LIVE RANDY RHOADS MAY YOUR SOUL LIVE ON FOR EVER!

When he goes into the Mr Crowley solo I got chills dude.

Masterpiece..

WTF"!! all the hand flicks and still dosent miss a note!! im gonna cry he is a Living GOD!!

HOLY SHITT!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! =O

All I can say is WOW! MAB rocks \m/

amazing

I can't believe this!

Oh my fucking god randy rhoads is amazing this tribute is truly exceptional!

AWSOME!

Kicks Gus G's ass to the curb... then again it doesn't effort to be better than him anyway. Michael, that was amazing, Randy would be very much happy and probably ask you if he could learn some of those little tricks you threw in their. R.I.P RANDY!

this would deffinitely be a cool song to learn, it's deffinetly the best song on the hands without shadows album

that shit is un-fucking-believable.

Saw him live yesterday, I think I shat bricks o.o I was literally, like 4 feet away from him throughout the whole show.

We already recorded Speed Lives 3 and plan to release it early in 2009. SL3 teaches "The Finish Line".

The guitar is on fire!

crazy train love that song

That's awesome...at 4:15 you can see where he seems to motion/scream "Randy!", but you can't hear it because of the music, of course. He's an awesome guy and it's great to see someone with so much talent not let it go to their head. I've never met him, but he seems to be extremely down-to-earth, and that's something that honestly seems to be getting hard to find the the "rocker" type people.

When he started to play Mr.Crowley.... im like wow. good effect.. and his under over thing is kick ass along with his guitar

Michael said he's a big Randy Rhoads fan "The memory that I have is that I was starstruck" "Even then, I was much taller than he was. What impressed me was how angelic he looked onstage, and how different he looked offstage." check out the news

great!

so damn good even he got excited

i love crazy train!!!!!! and Rhandy...='( thanks MAB for this song =)
