I love how Michael has such respect for Artists such as Metallica and Randy Rhoads and Led Zepp so much so as to do a tribute video to each of them , i also love how he goes from 80bpm to 3BILLION bpm with ease lol
Tom Morello was doing an interview on Howard Stern. Stern asked how he learned to play, and Morello said there was this 'guy at the guitar shop that gave him a few tips'. He goes on to explain that the 'guy' was Michael Angelo Batio and said he's one of the GOATs. Absolutely insane skills
Michael is one of the nicest guys in music. My old band got to play a handful of shows with him as well as hang out with him, as we have mutual friends. He's commanding on the stage but super laid back and quite hilarious in person. One of the best players to walk the face of the earth but zero ego.
Honestly one of my favorite things about him. I like the discography of other players way more, but I'll always come back for some MAB because I just damn like the guy too much
True. Got to chat with him at a guitar clinic years ago. I love his intimidating in-your-face no nonsense hardcore metal image, yet in person he's so chilled and down to earth. Insane skills.
CreepingDeath Wow. You don’t even know the name of the song, yet your screen name is Creeping Death, as to imply you’re some kind of hard core Metallica fan. 🤔
This is someone that has truly picked something in life and dedicated as much time in practice at as to become indeed a master at his chosen craft. Anyone can do likewise it's just most don't have that kind of passion and hunger to want to become the very best he can humanly achieve doing so. I just imagine the mind boggling hours of practice it takes to become this proficient at playing that instrument Wow!!!!
As a hobby guitarist. It can be a little depressing watching Batio play. I'm ok but there are times he's playing so fast and smooth I can't help but think, hey wait that's not possible. Nothing but mad respect for this guy. 🙇
I’ve always asked myself why Michael is so underrated and not famous as long as other “major known” shredders. This guy made the history of the guitar and he deserve more success, respect and attention. Hail to batio. 🤘🏻
Even if I was in one of the biggest bands in the world, I would be honored if MAB jammed tribute to one of my songs. Guy is a legend, will never forget watching his Speed Kills tape as a kid totally blown away. Inspired me to keep playing guitar
I used to advise beginners to avoid watching M.Batio, Shawn Lane and Jason Becker ! Cause they would give up before they even try. Edit : Oh damn ! Thank you for the likes ! Cheers from Morocco ! And watch the guys above with moderation they are toooo good ))
Brings me back to my first days discovering metal. That smile on his face when he plays For Whom the Bell Tolls. Is a smile of "Yep we all knew the day when this riff hit us in the guts"
If you play the song on double speed, you have: 0:00-0:25 : Dark Angel 0:25-1:11 : Slayer 1:12-1:48 : Herman Li 1:48-2:58 : Early Kreator 2:58-3:47 : Twilightning 3:52-5:20 : Venom/Mayhem (with Euronymous and Dead)/Early Bathory (drunken Quorthon...) 5:21-6:20 : The old good Metallica...
Great tone! I saw a clinic of his with my dad in Hickory, North Carolina (of all places). I was like 11, it totally flipped me out at how awesome he was.
I've been playing guitar my entire life and I've never heard anyone more precise than this guy and he's really friggen awesome and super technical as well as anybody I've ever heard !!! Why he's not more famous than he is I will never know because he's definitely one of the best and one of the greats of all of them out there famous or not famous he's really good !!!
Great tribute!!!! I love your incredible touch to these classics, while respecting the original key aspects that make it Metallica. You respect the essence of why we love this band. Thanks🤙
WOW!! BADASS!! THAT'S HOW YOU KICK IT UP A NOTCH!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! ROCK ISN'T DEAD IT'S BEEN SURPRESSED!!! ROCK LIVES FROM THE HEROES LIKE YOU WHO ARE STILL WILLING TO PLAY!!!
Where's your lame solo that fills stadiums? Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach Gym. Those who can't teach gym, post dumb comments online and sound like jealous haters.
MAB, you my friend, are THE freaking man. I have been a huge fan for as long as I can remember. I'm 36 and started playing at 12 and I think that I discovered you when I was 15 or 16 and have been following you ever since. Much respect. I would bow in your presence. hehe like you, I am a natural left hander, but I learned to play left handed. I really wish I had done what you did and just forced myself to learn right handed. I can't play any else's guitar and it sucks.
he's been widely known as one of the fastest and most technically advanced shredders on electric guitar for yearsssssssss. underrated? I don't think so.
Nice tribute. Funny to see that even MAB has to alternate pick parts (the Master Of Puppets part for example) where James actually plays them downpicking only.
I had the honor of seeing Michael Angelo Batio in concert at Q casino in Dubuque Iowa. He is even more impressive live. I left without my head because it totally blew clean off my shoulders.
Definitely one of my favourite players!! Michael Angelo Batio along with Frank Gambale really pushed me technically forwards (like many people who are old enough to remember their educational releases on V.H.S videos!!!
Not only is he technically one of the best, he's a really nice human being...humble sweet guy
Lol no
@@malcolm824 he may not be the best but he is definitely one of the best guitarists,and yes he is a really nice humble guy
@@malcolm824 Yes
Of course I agree
just give him a son!, lol
I love how Michael has such respect for Artists such as Metallica and Randy Rhoads and Led Zepp so much so as to do a tribute video to each of them , i also love how he goes from 80bpm to 3BILLION bpm with ease lol
Chrissy Ayres yeah. Yngwie Malmsteen usually shits on metal bands instead.
Elijah Kelley malsteem, unlike Batio is an ego inflated douche, except he only has a small fraction of batio’s talent.
@@elijahkelley7616 And that's really sad because Malmsteen is indeed awesome but that kinda stuff makes me lose respect for him.
@@marlonbrando5794 batio is probably the most skilled technically wise ever, together with jason becker
Just imagine the tribute to this guy!
Tom Morello was doing an interview on Howard Stern. Stern asked how he learned to play, and Morello said there was this 'guy at the guitar shop that gave him a few tips'. He goes on to explain that the 'guy' was Michael Angelo Batio and said he's one of the GOATs. Absolutely insane skills
Congrats Johnny, you're playing better than in the Ramones times!
Lucas Holanda hahhaha hey hoo lets go
he look more like marky ramone ;)

LMAO
I was about to say something like that lmao!
So clean it almost sounds more like a keyboard when he plays the fast lead licks.
no
Exactly
Do you know the name of the song that he Plays after master of puppets?
@@giovannilippi5048 Isnt it Enter Sandman? xd
@@hugohmfgd283 no, i mean when he shreds, the solo among master of puppets and enter sandman
For me and for a lot of musicians around the world he is the best, and has the cleanest sound i've ever heard
Absolutely 🔥
Holy shit, just look how relaxed he is troughout the whole damn performance

Yeah I have mutual friends with The Rock and Janet Jackson
So clean sound...
3:00~ So beautiful!
Sanitarium song name.
sadsadsa asadasd welcome home (sanitarium)
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is a master piece and this guy has completely killed it!
CreepingDeath Wow. You don’t even know the name of the song, yet your screen name is Creeping Death, as to imply you’re some kind of hard core Metallica fan. 🤔
"Welcome to where time stands still, no one leaves and no one will"!MetallicaWelcome Home (Sanitarium)
His hands have there own life, they walk along the fret board, I don't know how a person gets that good!
every single finger has eye
Coolness this dude is a stud.
@@nikolaefirmanov4260 every finger has its own brain
He has more collective hours of practice than most people have in life in general.

Would not be supprised if Kirk Hammet thinks likewise.
Guy has been playing for multiple decades 😂.... guitar is a extension of his body
I’ve always asked myself why Michael is so underrated and not famous as long as other “major known” shredders. This guy made the history of the guitar and he deserve more success, respect and attention. Hail to batio. 🤘🏻
Amongst those who know music he is top 3
Maybe it's because the songs he makes aren't good?
@@MaestorRasanen Please define good.
@@marshaltito7369 The opposite of bad?
@@MaestorRasanen No no, please define good music.
Even if I was in one of the biggest bands in the world, I would be honored if MAB jammed tribute to one of my songs. Guy is a legend, will never forget watching his Speed Kills tape as a kid totally blown away. Inspired me to keep playing guitar
I used to advise beginners to avoid watching M.Batio, Shawn Lane and Jason Becker ! Cause they would give up before they even try.
Edit :
Oh damn ! Thank you for the likes ! Cheers from Morocco ! And watch the guys above with moderation they are toooo good ))
anahowana shawn lane and becker!!! I miss they!!
10 year late comment ....Batio made that already to me at 2008 :/
True....stop learning advance that make u frustrating .......they r too professional.....lot of sacrifice and practice they have done
you should watch mr.hammett ;)
anahowana i beg to differ, seeing someone like this sets a mark even though insanely high.
Brings me back to my first days discovering metal. That smile on his face when he plays For Whom the Bell Tolls. Is a smile of "Yep we all knew the day when this riff hit us in the guts"
Didn’t knew Metallica’s song were so technical
lol
Know
They're not, but give something good to a god and the god will perfect it.
MetaL_GOD james hetfield is the god i supouse..
MetaL_GOD Or fill it with misplaced, unnecessary wankery!
Michael Angelo Batio is my guitar hero! Thank you...
warga +62?
He is always so good, and plays with so much joy that you can’t help but be moved and inspired. Great playing, and great tone. 🤘
yeah perfect imho 😬
If you play the song on double speed, you have:
0:00-0:25 : Dark Angel
0:25-1:11 : Slayer
1:12-1:48 : Herman Li
1:48-2:58 : Early Kreator
2:58-3:47 : Twilightning
3:52-5:20 : Venom/Mayhem (with Euronymous and Dead)/Early Bathory (drunken Quorthon...)
5:21-6:20 : The old good Metallica...
He didn't down pick master of puppets.
I know! If Michael Angelo can't even play that damn riff with all down strokes, how are us mere mortals supposed to?
He's MAB
@@stevenpurtee5062 it's not that difficult...
He's the Master of Muppets with that hair.
@@angelotrendkill MAB is the master of alternative picking after all ;)
Super precise as always, monster.
indeed..really precise - one take no doubt, a real pro
Except the master of puppets part, ouchy with the alternative picking
Great tone! I saw a clinic of his with my dad in Hickory, North Carolina (of all places). I was like 11, it totally flipped me out at how awesome he was.
it flipped me out when i called mace music and he answered the telephone i was so happy
I forgot how many great riffs metallica has and god damn this guy is insane, his playing is so tight and makes it look effortless
I didn't realize Mick Mars was that fast..damn
1:28 I loved this arrangement and the next harmony.
Absolutely 🔥
Michael Angelo is officially an underrated guitarist, guys!
Lo penso anch'io.
Saw this dude at a guitar show just jamming out here in Dallas. Amazing how he has so much respect for his inspiring bands \M/
This isn't the greatest Metallica medley of all time, this is just a tribute.
Admiral Ackbar I think it's on Jack Black Albumn
You gotta believe me and I wish you were there
TENACIUSSS DDDDDDDDD
Lets go to Hollywood
@@abrahamrodrigues1049 im down, send me a ticket.
Sir, this videos is the definiton of awesomeness
You're the most amazing guitarist I've ever laid my eyes on.
Love your timeless energy Michael!, thanks for share your greatness and music!
Perfect timing!! What awesome talent.
Are those LED's under his Floyd?
based.
Amazing
3:10
Vai was right when he said Batio is a freak of nature. He is simply the GOAT
I've been playing guitar my entire life and I've never heard anyone more precise than this guy and he's really friggen awesome and super technical as well as anybody I've ever heard !!! Why he's not more famous than he is I will never know because he's definitely one of the best and one of the greats of all of them out there famous or not famous he's really good !!!
Has been playing guitar since he was 5 and it still makes him smile.
1:40 he says fuck it with this slow shit. LAMBORGHINI SPEED!
@Mark 5 if you don’t get the Lamborghini reference, you’ve got a lot to learn kemosabi.
Woww!!!! I Don't have words! Super style Mab!!!! Love you!
I just can't see why some many people would give this a thumbs down.
Amazing performance of this great guitar shredder, I hear him since his early years with Holland and Nitro.
MetalStorm Nitro is having a reunion Album and tour
Awesome Tribute! The Multiamp gets better and better over the years. I think I will go for the Multiamp too. Keep up the good work.
supercool man..
Great tribute!!!! I love your incredible touch to these classics, while respecting the original key aspects that make it Metallica. You respect the essence of why we love this band. Thanks🤙

You are my Idol ever in Playing Lead Guitar!! Awesome!!
I hope we meet each other! God Bless You!
God bless Michael Angelo, such a genuine guy.
He makes it look so easy, Master Of Guitar! 🎸🤟
Been a fan since '86.Rock on Mr MAB.
Sounds like a dream. It's like having James and Kirk in one person.
Kirk lol
Kirk ?? Ahahahah
😅😅😅🤣no, it's like having CLIFF and James in one person.
@@rodrunion8899 and mustaine
Kirk couldnt play those licks if you put a gun to his mother’s head
I like how towards the end he gets tired of playing Kirks lame solo and just goes nuts. Such a legend. No wah pedal necessary.
A tribute is your style while still honouring the original
Yea wah though the pentatonic minor. How fucking lazy can you get? Lol
Lets hear you play
Where's your lame solo that fills stadiums? Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach Gym. Those who can't teach gym, post dumb comments online and sound like jealous haters.
sounds awesome ! like the vibrato when michael is slowing down the leads !
MAB, you my friend, are THE freaking man. I have been a huge fan for as long as I can remember.

Michael Ângelo, one of the best guitarist on earth, he is amazing
Nailed It Bro. Perfect.
Seen him live a couple of times, simply amazing!!!!
Met him once at Music Fair Frankfurt 2004 I believe, nicest guy I've ever met. Real honest man 🎉
Beautiful Dean guitar and such an amazing tone. I'm not a fan of MAB's style but it's always enjoyable to watch him shredding and quite impressive too
I’m not a fan of his style either, but one cannot dent how immensely talented he is. He’s a pretty great guy to boot!
1:23 his smile, his nose, his grimaces, all from him
He is so amazing, honestly he is one of the guitarists who has a very clean and quality guitar playing technique
Every time amazed when I see you. Perfect!!!
This guy is so underrated
sergiov95 not underrated. Everyone knows his skills. Who is he underrated by? You? Hahaha
sergiov95 he is one of the best most well known guitarists out there. Underrated? Gtfoh!
Even my 2yrold know abour him... speed skills have been his lullabies since day 1..
he's been widely known as one of the fastest and most technically advanced shredders on electric guitar for yearsssssssss. underrated? I don't think so.
Underrated? For who? Is very famous, and one of the best and faster guitarrs!!
jesus, he's playing notes that aren't even on the fretboard lol absolute monster 6:04
Super clean. AWESOME!!
That is so crisp and clear.
Michealangelo : "Chords too simple.." Breaks into mad shred! 🤘
Is this a machine or a man!!!!😲
Alien God.
Both
A lamborghini
lol people thought michael angelo batio was fake for years but this guy is lighting fast even when live
kRoull RocK he is monsterrrr
Still gives me goosebumps dude!!!
Good lord!! Every time I watch Batio I'm floored.
One of the most famous guitarist with extreme speed...
Nice tribute.
Funny to see that even MAB has to alternate pick parts (the Master Of Puppets part for example)
where James actually plays them downpicking only.
For whom the bell tolls it’s amazing how you perform it.
Always so perfect. Good stuff.
Legend paying tribute to other legends... This is what the metal/rock community is supposed to be. Not genre wars and elitist b.s.
facts my brotha
Mick Mars has really upped his game.
Awesome. Jimi Hendrix & Eddie Van Halen used to be my favorite guitarists now your right there with them.
Saw you live, youre the best michael
I cant stop looking at that guitar
Este tipo es simplemente impresionante no hay más que decir
He's so efficient , is fingers are amazing , one of the last notes in For Whom the Bell Tolls was fretted on top of the neck pick up .
Wow this man is an absolute master. Amazing 😎
I had the honor of seeing Michael Angelo Batio in concert at Q casino in Dubuque Iowa. He is even more impressive live. I left without my head because it totally blew clean off my shoulders.
You may shred but can you outshred Michael Angelo Batio?
NO. Not even god hhhh
Man this is amazing, what a performance!
Definitely one of my favourite players!!
Michael Angelo Batio along with Frank Gambale really pushed me technically forwards (like many people who are old enough to remember their educational releases on V.H.S videos!!!
Kirk's solos must feel like "guitar 101" to MAB
Needs more wah wah.
Lmao just kidding, great vid.
Always spirited watching batio's playing
Grande michael..👍👍
DAMN MICHAEL IS AWESOME!!!
sou fã do michael o cara toca muitooooo
There are no boundaries to MAB's talent. Love 💖 that guy.
Perfect, as always.
1:33 should’ve been in the original.
1:39 don't remember this kirk hammet solo in for whom the bell tolls
Beautiful work.
There is no end to this man’s Genius.
I’m throwing the guitar out of the window! Lol! Holy shit, man!
Batio is a Wizard
It's amazing how much control he has.
That's the best thing I ever heard and seen
