Who is this guy? No bio, never really heard of him. Kicks A** on the neck tho.. Nice sweeps, nice phrasing, good clean sound.. Wonder why he's unknown..? Or have I been under a rock?

All i have to say is That listening to this brother. Play is Really a cool experience. Rock on Shred Man , Batio.
Yeah, definitely one of the very best shredders of all time. I have some training books and videos by him and some of the lessons have techniques and practices you can't find anywhere else.
who cares about fast? thats cool and all, but this guy is very creative. Its hard to play minor modes at fast speeds without sounding like yngwie Malmsteen. So, props to Angelo; very nice feel and tone.
Don't you wish lamestream radio gave guys like him more airtime. Is it possible that the masses truely can't identify true talent and run from it...right into the arms of... what's that dufus' name...uh...the one that Britney Spears dated...good thing I can't think of his name...haha

Nice wig, or whatever that is on his head.
Just kidding.
I met Michael Angelo Batio at the winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. He's a very cool guy. He let me put on the double neck guitar when i got my picture made with him.
i saw him live it was awesome he is one of the best guitarist ever and one of the most inspiering people ihave ever met
thank you Mr. Batio my hat is off to you
He originally came up with a Chicago band called Holland (Led by Tom Holland), an 80's melodic rock group. They had a great album "Little Monsters" that had some awesome tunes on it. Apparently Batio wanted to be a shredder though, and him leaving basically spelled the end for Holland. In any event, I saw him in concert with Holland in Chicago, and his technique was amazing. He was much better in a group with Holland than as a solo shredder, IMO.
fastest guitarist ever watch his video called speed kills just part of an old tape he put out of him playing guitar

I saw Nitro on the two tours they did. Great shows and really nice guys. Michael Angelo said that the quad guitar you're referring to was stolen shortly after the video shoot.

I am surprised as well, this is very good, although bit on a soft side and
one-colored. Sounds little too electronic to me, what I am missing on most these otherwise very good and technicaly sound musicians is dynamics that Jeff Beck or Steve Stevens offer (Porcupine Tree as a band excell in dynamics of music as well). After while, everything starts sounding kinda monotone, you know? I agree that Yngwie is better with the wild side of him but doesn't he tire you with same album after albumafte
whoa dude! good stuff. RC, I may agree that Yngwie may be better, but he is also marketed. I'm impress w/this guy, will definitely add to my fave's list. I don't know where Pandora gets their comparative list, but Joe Satch is similar, as is Micheal Schenker.
check out you tube for "freight train" by nitro he uses a quad guitar and i've seen him play in in concert just as he does in the video. you'll be amazed
Yes, very cool! Surprised Similar Artists list doesn't list Yngwie Malmsteen or Tony MacAlpine. I thought he was Tony before I looked to see who it was.
Michael Angelo was the guitarist of the Glam band "Nitro". He actually had a four neck guitar (shaped like an axe). Look for the video "Freight Train" to see him play all four necks! The lead singer of Nitro was Jim Gillette (Married to Lita Ford) - he has the most range in a non-opera trained singer I have ever heard... think Mariah Carey's range in a Glam / Metal Singer (Jim's hair is probably longer than Mariah's)!
mr. batio shreds. you know you're the best when you can play a double guitar, and play it very well. he rocks.
