“It’s not for everybody, but I don’t care, neither am I”
Honestly, respect to Batio just for that quote
Put that on my tombstone
Honored to be the 666th like lol
@Martina Gerber Put THAT on my tombstone
neither of my alter-egos playing all those 4x-guitars care
Yea that one caught my ear as well. Super cool dude! I never really imagined what spending time with him would be like...honestly I never really thought much past the videos I saw of him. He really seems to be doing it all for the right reason.....passion!
I feel like this man has finished his journey on the guitar. Now he’s on his journey to BECOME the guitar.
💀🔥
What a comment. 🤘🔥
He already has just minus the lasers 👍
Can't wait for "I made a guitar out of MY OWN BODY"
@@stormRed “I replaced my forearms with fretboards!”
I take away two things from this:
1: MAB is just as impressive as a human as he is a shredder.
2: I feel that Rob's talent is even still somehow underappreciated.
3. He likes the lasers and really wanted to get them working. :l
I recorded a couple of tracks for a friend at his studio, and can vouch for the fact that Michael is one of the nicest people You could ever hope to meet.
Warn, friendly and accommodating, he bends over backward to make you comfortable. Oh, and he can eat most guitarists, including me, alive.😂
@@arcuz7862 4. I also think he likes to collect guitars, but I'm not entirely sure.
Standard YT protocol dictates that anyone that plays an instrument on RUclips is either underrated or under appreciated
Yawwwn
Nah, that dude can play!
It's contagious how happy Michael looks while playing and showing off his guitars, like a child in a toy box.
*toy store, child in a toy box would be slightly scary.
as it should be
@@vulekv93LOL
My initial impression of Michael Angelo Batio was that he was a bit of a show-boater, and... well, that's not exactly wrong, but he's so strangely humble about it? Dude's a damn solid shredder who plays some truly bizarre guitars, but he speaks with so much passion and seems to genuinely love what he does. There's no arrogance to it. Really refreshing to see.
He gives me the “I absolutely love what I do, and I’m damn good at it too” vibe. Respect
The story about not wanting to get into "guitar duels" but doing it just for the fun of trying to play FOUR guitars was the perfect example of this!
He is actually cooler than in the videos
He’s genuinely excited. It’s like he’s talking about someone else than himself in some ways. He just loves this stuff and he’s so into sharing what he’s doing. He wants everyone to have as much fun as himself.
That was my impression at 1st as well, but very cool dude who just loves what he does & try new things with it to keep that passion & interest going.
Anything involving MAB is going to be straight up outrageous. What a fun video!
huge fan bro!
not a fan of the music but I gotta admire the showmanship
Angel is always on the coolest YT comment sections.
what is MAB?
@@yamiomo7392 Michael Angelo Batio, PhD in Shredding.
You just have to love that guy. He's basically the culmination of 80s hair metal cliches and totally owns it.
You can always tell the best years of a grown mans life because he'll just keep wearing whatever style was popular at the time.
*wig metal
@@Catonius thats no wig and never was lmao
@@Zudexa you being serious? 😂
@@poindextertunes you can see a bald spot, it’s not a wig.
getting told "thats really good ear" and "thats really cool what you played there" by michael angelo batio means you made it as a guitarist
frrrrrr
"You really played something cool."
When freaking Michael Angelo Batio himself says that to you, it's hard not to get an ego boost. Glad to see that he and Rob are two peas in a pod, just playing music for its own sake and I freaking love it!
i swear rob could do a "is that a quad neck guitar in your pocket or are you just happy to see me" joke. i was so happy for him when MAB said that
@@eddyguizonde401FRRRR
I just think it's incredible that this whole interaction comes off as if MAB could just be your father in law showing you his favourite model trains. Love this.
I know! The weirdest thing is how completely inaccessible his talents are to almost anyone, yet the man himself is so thoroughly approachable.
The raddest of old men are the most wholesome.
A great interaction. A fun video. Awesome!!
It just looks like a pair of crazy guitar fans hanging out. I love it.

i love how he harmlessly wants his lasers to be turned on so bad haha what a cool guy and a cool video well done
I wasn't prepared for how well that double sunburst guitar sounded clean! 😮
I wasn't prepared for all the guitars in his house. But it makes 100% sense.
MAB seems like such a positive guy who honestly just loves guitar. It’s hard not to smile when he’s speaking
Right? I was really into it. I thought for sure this was gonna be silly. But I am in aw of his skill, and his overall personality and humility. He's also so calm and encouraging.
The kind of attitude of a good guitar instructor...
When MAB says "I've never seen anyone use it that way and make it work" that has to feel amazing
That's pretty much every Rob video, though. He just...picks stuff up.
Two great down to earth talented individuals packed on one video.
He's just phenomenal. He STILL GOT IT! That's just amazing to see how decades and decades of practice and dedication to your art leads you to a mastery that will not fade...
Amazing stuff.
That is hard to do for sure. He is pretty amazing!
Michael is one of nicest people you will ever meet. I met him once when my band opened for NITRO in a club (1989 or 1990) and I did not like the band or their music very much because it was not my taste. I was also just a young guitar player in an all original metal band and he was in a national act that was on Mtv, it was intimidating. He walked over to me after we opened and told me it was great and that he really liked my style and that my playing and songwriting was good. Later after the show he gave me a t shirt, took me on the tour bus and talked about music with me for a little while. He also gave me some advice and told me not to let other people dictate my playing or songs and being different was a good thing. He was kind and nicer than you would imagine if all you saw was NITRO decked out in their clothes and wigs. Not pompous or ego driven at all. In the end I still did not really like their music but I became a fan of Michael Angelo Batio, the person first and the guitar player second. He is a genuine person. Getting to spend the day with him, going through his house and guitar collection is a real treat. You got to play his iconic guitars and that is extra special. Thank you for making this video.
Check out his instrumental albums as well.
@@onpsxmember Yes he has some really great instrumentals.
A friend got me to start talking to band members by trying to pants me in front of my favorite band. At the time it was All Shall Perish. Fortunately he didn't get my pants of my ass but he got me to start talking to my inspirations. I'll love him forever for that
@@johnshandloading7907
He has a couple fusion albums that are really excellent.
a testament that you can be a fan of a person without being a fan of their works. Gotta love this dude, he's a real down to earth guy.
This man is the guitar definition of Chaotic Good.
As opposed to Yngvie, another legendary '80 shredder, the definition of Lawful Evil :D
Yngwie identifies as Harmonic Minor
I love Michael Angelo Batio and love Yngwie Malmsteen!!!
@@o0Donuts0o
*_Nicely_* done dude.
Bravo.
Saw Malmsteen accidentally live and he was so over the top I remember leaving early. Couldn't handle the man. He can play though.
Rob, thank you for this video. I regretfully always ignored Michael growing up as I never saw past the image. This video truly shows how radiant he is about the guitar and life. He's so giddy here and smiles all the time. You've really introduced MAB to the modern era for some of us.
Had the pleasure of meeting MAB at one of his guitar clinics several years back. He was genuinely the nicest most down to earth guy. His music isn't for everyone, but any real guitarist has to admit how insane what he does, is.
Before he even plays the guitar, he just blows you away with his personality and kindness. The absolute definition of a Living Legend
Every video I've ever watched he has always seemed like a condescending ass. Here he seems so humble and chill.

Could easily be an egomaniac, but every time I've heard him talk to someone, or give an interview like this, he just comes off as genuine and humble. What a gift to music.
Amen!
As nice of a person as he is, his skill set is right there up at the very top.
He’s a really nice dude that just so happened to be an incredibly talented musician
Possibly part of the reason he's not more successful. He's not an egomaniac like yngwie, and he never joined a big band which he definitely could have. He just does what he does

I got the opportunity to meet Michael Angelo in the mid-90s. He is a cool, down to earth guy, who just happens to be one of the most amazing musicians I've ever seen. Mad props to M.A.B!
Michael Angelo deserves all that exposure. His instrumental albums are so worth listening too. Several years ago at a Musikmesse I had no idea about him and he was so genuinely nice, listened and cared. I hope you do more collabs.
I've been calling him a showoff to this day but right now, after seeing how down-to-earth and humble he is, I feel ashamed to have done so. He's earned himself another fan.
We love a good character arc
Sure, he is very humble, friendly and self-aware. But let's be real, his style of playing *is* to show off lol, I think it's the point!
same he seems like a funny dude :)
@@jk6971 it was just the thing back in the days, gotta keep that in mind too, things were different back then but he's always been extremely cool. If you've watched a couple of his instructional videos, you would immediately be able to tell
@@afipia7 and he’s very musically talented too. It just isn’t “show of shit” listen to No Boundaries, it’s a great guitar album and has lots of original classical pieces that aren’t show off at all.
I feel ashamed to say that this guy has been mostly a punchline with me and my circle our whole lives, because I now see how down-to-earth, humble, cool, funny, and personable he is. Sure, MAB is well-known, but he deserves to be much more so...
You should check out videos of his guitar speed classes. He's a really great teacher and so incredibly polite with everyone. He gives straightforward advice to even the most novice students and always finds something to praise in them.
I've had the chance to meet him twice when I was 14 and 22 (about), he really is nice to have around, very down to earth like you said, and he's a great performer, incredibly talented
I feel you dude! Same feeling here. I was watching the vid and was like "damn, the guy is super chill and down to earth".
he rules man.. symphony X as well.. great band
You should go to a show. He tells stories and you leave feeling like he's one of your Buds. He's a great, humble guy. He's always been super nice to me and my daughters and played anything I asked for. Just an all around good dude.
this format is so amazingly enjoyable - youtube gold.
the way rob picks up playing just about anything and has such deep appreciation for the legends he interviews - so good.
I saw this video title and thought "oh, MAB is a cool guy, would be fun watching", but honestly... This guy is impressive friendly. He's a living legend and there is not a bit arrogance at all. He's just having fun showing Rob all his stuff and even as Rob plays some stuff he looked impressed and appreciate it. Even if it was an hour long, I'm sure I would have fun watching it.
The part with lasers makes him even more likeable.
I feel like Rob is having the most fun of any RUclipsr, period. It’s great to watch, always lifts my mood.
He’s also one of the most fun to watch. He’s a great interviewer because he doesn’t see it as a story or a subject. He’s just as excited (if not more). His best videos is when he’s interacting with others.
One of exceptionally few RUclipsrs (or famous people in general) I’d actually like to meet.
Also his ability to pick up instruments and make something musical with them is amazing. He’s still like a little kid absorbing the world.
I like how he's never afraid to try a new instrument on camera and almost instantly makes it sound musical. Long time subs take it for grantes but it takes a lot courage.
Rob knows what he loves and has turned it into something great.
What really got me was Michael Angelo Batio saying that he hadn't considered using the double necks with a clean sound, and complimenting Rod. Such humility from someone who by any estimate would be considered 'untouchable' as far as mastery of the instrument goes is amazing.
Even cooler then that, what he said implied other people had tried doing clean sound, but nobody had thought to do that and then had the skill to make it sound good.

Prior to that moment, I don't think Michael Angelo Batio even knew electric guitars could be played with a clean sound. There is only distortion. This is the way.
It's always a treat to see musicians who have really dedicated their lives to the craft. The way he listens to Rob, and the way he takes in the questions, and the new ideas, and just comes back with such brilliance and creativity... I mean, at that point it's not even about the musical style or the technique anymore, it's the music-making itself and anyone from any path of music can delight in it.
Thanks Rob for all the joy you share with us.
Oh man, how did I miss this one? Absolutely love your content and MAB, thanks for shooting this!
Michael seems like a guy who just loves guitars.
Everything about them.
Playing them, talking about them, teaching on them, innovating them, and so on.
What a great guy.
Probably has stories for ages to tell as well.
He is what every nerd would do if they had the money to buy anything they love.
Dude even got excited when he saw Rob nail the clean ideas on the double guitar. Maybe we'll have some emo Batio soon?
I'm amazed how quickly you get along with absolutely everyone. This is a legendary video.
and that'actually for both MBA and RSC
Music just bring people together. It’s an amazing thing
This was a treat. I'm so glad for Michael. He has earned everything he has. One of a kind. A true pioneer.
The speed at which you pick up random new music styles is very impressive. Your ability to apply prior knowledge is really something else Rob.
I've always loved MAB as a person and his playing style. This video confirms that tenfold. The ending with the lasers and his eagerness to get it all working really got me
xD the lasers was the cherry on top!
you don't get a robotic, moving guitar with lasers just to not be seen by anyone xD
I remember him to be the nicest guy, always down to earth, used to watch tons of his videos pre-2010. You'd have this stigma of metal guitarists/fans being jerks in those times(try throwing them a bone and ask "who's the best guitarist of all time" and watch the most toxic thread unfold before your eyes!) This dude never took himself too seriously, I wish him the best.
wait, you're alive?!
Going from Rob playing clean on the dual, to MAB saying he's never heard anyone get something out of it in that way, to the two of them jamming together on the quad with Rob playing clean and MAB shredding over the top - what a beautiful arc
Michael seems like one of the most legitimately genuine guitar nerds that just loves awesome tech. One of the most entertaining interviews I've ever seen.
I love when Rob meets people that he probably grew up idolizing. They're always impressed with how talented Rob is and that must feel really good for him.
For someone I thought was silly and goofy for his whole "two-guitar" thing, MAB is endearingly silly and goofy, just a normal dude who could indulge in the silliness of his passion. Total *Dudes Rock* energy.
I haven't listened to Michael Angelo Batio in like fifteen years...if he's still doing this, I'm old enough to say he DEFINITELY wasn't kidding about having a good chiropractor.
And even better genetics to boot.
My favorite part about MAB is how he just has the most fun out of pretty much any guitarist I know.
Truly a passionate guy.
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm so happy to see Michael Angelo and his collection. Your whole channel is great, but this particular one bring so much.
His music isn't really my style, but it's impossible to deny that Michael Angelo Batio is a truly _incredible_ guitarist who contributed significantly to shaping the landscape of metal and pushing the limits of technique ever upward. That, plus how obvious his passion is, makes it a ton of fun to watch and listen to him here. Thanks for making this video!
Besides all of his talent and skill, he's also just a really good, and all round decent guy.
His style definitely isn't for everyone, but you can hear the musical foundation he plays on. I'd bet he could play awesome blues. It'd be interesting to hear him with Mark Knopfler.
It's my style, and this was awesome!
@@JakeKoenig
Really?
Sounds pretty musical to me.
@@JakeKoenig sounds like someone's a bit jealous that he could never sound like 3 guitarists playing at once. I bet you are the life of every social gathering when you're not acting like some emo baby.
9:09 I always thought he's just playing the same thing with both hands, but he's actually HARMONIZING WITH HIMSELF that's nuts!
Zoiberg what are you doing
Traveled two hours to a different town to see Michael do a guitar clinic immediately after school in 2011. Not only was it an impressive showing of skill and outrageous guitar, it was a great afterword when the group got to talk to him one on one and ask questions about his career post 80's. Like teaching Mark Tremonti and other high profile players. Incredible man and incredibly humble and nice.
Such an amazing, and wholesome video. This is exactly the reason I love rob as a creator and musician. He’s genuinely just out here having a blast. Seems that M.A.B. Is as well.
I love seeing old cats that still have all their claws, and tricks.
Would love to see this in concert if he’s still out playing around.
I once saw MichaelAngelo play at a Dean guitar shop and he was telling the story about how he was playing his dual guitars at a gig with thousands but was bored enouhh that his brain just drifted off to thinking about getting a ton of postshow Wendy's mid solo
Oh yes, he was trying to decide between Del Taco and Taco bell........ looks like tonight it's DEL TACO!!!!
Michael is such a great dude. He really embraced the ridiculousness of the late 80s, but kept his feet on the ground as human being. I love listening to him, both talking and playing. Also, I'm still baffled how creative he gets with those double and quadruple neck monstrosities XD
Gotta love Batio...
The word is RIDICULOSITY
This is definitely the guitar video with the most positive energy ever! So much fun, a joy to watch. And so many things I would never have imagined. Michael Angelo Batio turned out the nicest person and so innovative in the guitars, techniques, everything. Rob is definitely the right guy to do a video like this, they just click so well.
Total, legend... I've seen interviews with Michael Anthony and he always seems like such a humble gentleman. Great video Rob.
These guys actually make a great team. They should do more stuff together.
MAB is a really cool dude, I've liked him for a while and I'm glad more people are getting to see his humble personality and insane shred skills
What a legend... I remember his early videos. So much enthusiasm and love for what he does - still!
I've seen you fiddle around with saws lately, this one gave me smiles all the way through. Thanks you, and MAB!
Gotta say, I'm surprised at how friendly MAB seems. Quite different from the mean-mugging he does for the camera when playing :P
I was wondering how Dines got him for the Shred Collab video, and this video answers that question.
I saw him perform at the Music Messe in Germany once. After his set I had a chat with him. So humble, friendly and down to earth. I didn't expect it honestly. He showed me his double guitar, and even suggested I held it for a picture. Told him I saw him at the hotel during breakfast. He went ''oh man! you should've come over and said hi!''
@@NessMeister damn that’s awesome man
he is a very friendly guy, very intense about music, huge personality, very approachable and easy-going. like other metalheads, dont let the black jacket and grimace and tattoos fool ya
@@superblondeDotOrg Honestly, my apprehension was mostly due to the whole "stuck in the 80s" vibe he's got going on. I thought he'd be more bitter than he is, but this seems less "I peaked in the 80s and I can't get it back" and more "I found this whole thing in the 80s and it's been good enough for me this whole time", which is a much healthier mindset.
Its amazing, some of those early shredders have reputations of being massive tools with genius complexes, then you have Michael Angelo who's just chill as fuck.
I love how he is encouraging and complimenting Rob playing throughout the video, truly a great guy.
This is so awesome! I remember first getting into playing guitar in the early 00's, and I remember seeing his Speed Kills/No Boundaries video being circled around Limewire back in the day. I was just being blown away by MAB's skill, I didn't know anyone could possibly play guitar like that! This video brings me back, and it's so awesome just seeing despite his insane skill, his successes he had in the music industry, Michael is still so grounded, and comes off as a very kind and genuine person that just loves shredding and talking about guitars!
Thanks for this video Rob. I'm a fan of what you do, but this video in particular just made me feel great watching!
You two together is just gold. Definitely free-spirited kids in the wildest candy store ever. Thank you both for making this happen and sharing - you made my day! 🤘🏻
I concur
Hear, hear!
This was so good to see & to hear! Awesome fun!

Yeah could definitely use a sequel ^^
I've always kind of been lukewarm on Michael Angelo Batio, but this video has really changed my perception of him. He seems like a great guy.
Great visit with one of the shreddiest of shredders. Michael is so personable and happy to share the joy of his zany over-the-top techniques and guitars.
I could watch you two talk and have fun forever definitely need an extended version of this
I’ve never been a fan of MAB or anything that feels “gimmicky” to me, but credit where credits due, he made that whole image his signature and to this day he owns it. This video definitely shed a bit of light on how genuinely impressive his playing is, for what it is. I guess there’s a reason I’ve never seen anybody else do it!
If there ever was two people who should make a project together, its you two.
The sheer love and respect you guys got for the guitars is staggering.
Wow, MAB's demo is really amazing!
Michael Angelo rocks and will always rock! \m/
Best video I've watched in ages, thanks for sharing. 🔥🔥🔥
The enjoyment that both of you two had was enough to keep me smiling throughout this whole video. Just two guitar guys geekin' out.
Duuude, he's such a good guy. I feel like I'm watching two kids with expensive and quirky toys just nerding about music and gear. I had an ear-to-ear smile during the entire vid. It was so natural, congrats!!!! MAB is a legend.
Man! What a trip down memorylane. Speeds kills! Michael is such a humble and incredibly beautiful human being!
Two really nice and talented guys having fun together without having their egos get in the way. I’ve watched it multiple times and still enjoy it.
This is probably the most wholesome guitar themed video I've ever seen. The pure genuine joy of both of you makes it impossible not to smile throughout the whole video.
SO wholesome, absolutely agreed!
Rob buzzing Michael Angelo Batio's house is content in itself but when they end up talking about lasers on a quad guitar is simply something sublime, it made my day! 🤘
What an absolute legend, and seems like such a humble man for being one of the absolute most destructive forces in guitar playing history. What a great video.
Thank you so much. Your videos are just so informative and entertaining. I look forward to seeing more. Brilliant!
MAB is just a cool humble guy. What a dude! If he was my guitar teacher, I'm sure I'll never get bored.
He would probably give you keys to lamborgini
I played a show with him in Philly a few years ago and hung out a bit after. SUCH a genuinely nice guy & incredibly knowledgeable on history and general trivia. So enjoyed seeing this - looks like you had a blast!
This is fantastic! It gives such an amazing view of someone coming in playing with these amazing guitars without any prior experience, and having a completely different vision of what to play with them.
This is so goofy yet so exciting. I'm so confused 😂 I'm in love with this for so many different reasons! Thank to both of you for that!
What a legend! Seems humble and kind-hearted as well!
Idk how humble you can be when your walls are full of photos of yourself lmao
As a musically inclined human, I am ashamed to have grown up in the 90s without ever finding out about Batio....dudes a freakin BEAST. Legends never die!
My brother loved all the 80s shredders so i got to know of him even though i was a 90s baby
he came to my highschool years ago and i'll never forget it, still listen to him at least a few times a week. totally changed my life. you just don't forget a man like this playing a quad guitar. i loved the energy in this video, brings a goddamn teer to my eyes haha
this is now my favorite video of yours.. wow... amazing! the raw talent and love of the guitar is awe inspiring!
"That is so metal!" or "That is so cool!" is an understatement with Michael Angelo Batio
Michael angelo Batio ''We just need to get these lasers going'' 19:30. Probably the funniest qoute in the video. I love Michaels energy, he is like that one kid that always get so hyped on new guitar tech stuff and I love it.
Really refreshing to see MAB is rather chill and just enjoing spreading the joy with others!
What a nice, humble guy. Arguably the most academically gifted (advanced musical theory) metal guitarist ever.
I always knew MAB was incredibly talented…. This video however, shows us what genuinely likable and humble person he is. His bombastic and over-the-top performances and crazy guitars are just an extension of his genuine love for wha he does.
i had a smile on my face the entire time i was watching this. Michael seems like such a chill, down to earth guy, despite how amazing of a guitarist he is. i really enjoy seeing people just have fun with their instruments, and that dude obviously knows how to have fun with his guitars.
I saw Michael live in Burton on Trent in the UK over 15 years ago, its was the time the 2 guitars of the quad guitars was returned to him. Really great gig and still have the signed album :)
You can just tell how happy and excited rob is to just be there seeing the guitars let alone play them
I used to think this guy was cheesy... but he's so self aware of how ridiculous it all is and just fully embracing the chaos of it all. Doing the double telecaster because it's weird because everyone expects pointy from him is an absolute highlight. What a freaking genius.
The fact he is muting so tightly with his foot whilst also playing two necks simultaneously is INSANE. I would say "Why does one person need so much talent?" but it's obviously just to be the most ridiculously entertaining person.
Newfound love and and respect for this guy. What an absolute legend.
I can’t help but see MAB as more of a guitar hobbyist/enthusiast who is also an insane shredder than the other way around. He seems genuinely stoked to have someone there to geek out with him.
Such a humble person, thanks for video, I always saw his videos and felt super intimidated by his playing. It’s been years since I listened to him.
Thanks man. I always discovered some things new for you videos. It's very awesome 😎.
doubles, quads, added high strings, 29 frets, military aircraft aluminum...
this was a blast to watch. I can only imagine how fun this must've been!
Man, I had fun watching this. 20 minutes felt like 5 and I was sad it was over. I can't even imagine how much actual fun it was to do this, you are so lucky, Rob.
What a cool dude and an absolute Legend!!!
Thanks for the great holiday spirit!
I attended one of his clinics in Liverpool maybe ten years ago. Such a lovely fella and a phenomenal player.
