      Я его знаю!!! Он в " Лукавые новости" снимался (фильм2008года) . Там он лечился от наркозависимости и учился любить жизнь. А потом у него началась кошмарная зависимость от жизни

    Back in the early 80's in Chicago, I was in a band that used to open for a whole slew of bands. Mike was in a band called Holland. Say what you want about him but out of all the bands we opened for, Mike's was the most accommodating to us and the nicest. He would go out of his way to make sure we got at least a sound check. NONE of the other bands back then would even let us use 1/4 of the stage let alone sound check. Mike was always a nice, friendly guy, and if you think he's full of himself, you should have seen the other bands!!!

    • @d24isDURIAN
      @d24isDURIAN 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @zzkeokizz 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks for that story, Larry. I'm glad he's a nice guy. We need more people like him. Thee are too many prima donnas out there. I love to watch the guy play and I'm glad that he now knows how to play lefty and not just crossing hands because he's a natural lefty.

  • @proc007
    @proc007 9 ปีที่แล้ว +104

    You know, I always thought this guy was a total douchebag who could show off better than most guitarists out there, but actually, he seems like more of a passionate, down-to-earth type of guy. I'm not a bigt fan of his music, but I have give him credit, because his tone is so simple yet effective, and his playing is so ridiculously complex, it's just fascinating to watch.

    Never paid much attention to MAB till I started really practicing again. Many years on the stage and heavily jaded by music as a whole, studying this guy has made me appreciate the art of guitar again. His attitude is unmatched. Huge inspiration mechanically and psychologically . Love this guy.

    This guy is my favorite guitarist of all time. I've met him multiple times in McAllen, TX. He's ALWAYS the nicest guy! He's so passionate and into what he's doing. More guitarists of his stature should be like this. I'm tired of the "Uh, yeah, this is my signature and ... Uh... You know." I LOVE his passion for his craft.

  • @mmpldclxvi
    @mmpldclxvi 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    His enthusiasm is absolutely fantastic to watch. Even though he has played music for so many years and has a music degree, he is still like a young boy wanting to pay tribute to those who have inspired him.
    Man, I hope I feel as enthusiastic about my music when I've been playing for 47+ years.

    @pedrosilvaproductions 11 ปีที่แล้ว +43

    I love MAB but not only for his incredible techinique and all that comes with it, I love how humble he is by talking about other guitarists like that but saying good things about them all, did you realize that in almost 20 min of video he was not only talking about his stuff but he was like chatting with all of us? I love not only his humilty but his relaxed way he talks to every1 like all people are his friends. This how a musician or any artist should be imo some of them might do it but at some point in life they just don't take it anymore and they stop they have to be cold they have to be "bad" to some people and this guy isn't...

  • @samson915067
    @samson915067 11 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I've watched MAB interview videos a few times and this is the first time he sticks up for himself, and I'm happy about that! Dude is a humble musician and he deserves the credit.

  • @Mr.Korzack
    @Mr.Korzack 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I may not be that much of a fan of his music, but honestly? I gained so much respect & appreciation of him through his video, because...well... He's a geek! He's so wrapped up in his love for the music & what he does, it's wonderful to see that raw enthusiasm bleed through without any of that "Oh yeah, gotta pretend to be cool" nonsense

      Big Dave For me there is no doubt that Michael is an amazing musician and there are only a handful of guitarist walking the face of the earth that can cover as many different styles as well as he does. But I have a real hard time taking anyone who wears a wig like that seriously and I can only stand about 2 or 3 minutes of hearing him talk before I am burnt out on it.

    • @davesgrowboxesuk7568
      @davesgrowboxesuk7568 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I know what you mean. The wig is just too much to bare. And he is so full on. I watched the guitar clinic vid and he never stopped talking. But your comment made me laugh as I wasn't expecting it lol.

    The companies he talks about like EMG and whoever makes the whammy pedal were probably cringing if they watched this. HAHA Man, he's honest. Unlike most guys who just blow smoke for whoever greases their palm. I like guys like this. It's not wrong to tell the truth. If A is way better than B, say so. It isn't YOUR fault that B isn't better or as good as A. I also prefer passive pickups. I used the 81/85 for many years. Got sick of the hiss and batteries.

    This guy is driven, educated and skilled. His stint in Nitro was what introduced him to everybody. He was why anybody listened and watched their videos. What was Michael Angelo Batio going to do next? I think he is underrated. The man can basically play anything.

    He seems like an honestly nice approachable person-what you see is what you get. I'd love to hang with him in a livingroom and just talk. He has his fascinations and passions just like anyone else. He knows what he likes and what works for him and unlike many critics on you tube, he's living his passion, and sharing his talent with the world. Unless you are putting yourself out there, why not be still and listen. You may just learn something.

    I love Michael's energy and his love for music. He is a showman and he knows that people want the "show", but he is also extremely talented. He can probably sit down and play some beautiful melodic slow piece and blow you away, but when he's doing his show he is the showman. His claim to fame is his virtuosity.

    Yes he got a wig, yes he's quite aspergerish, yes he is old, but wtf: He is one of the very best guitarists out there, and it's not only about the speed, plus he is one of the nicest and most humble guys in the industry!

    I get the feeling this interviewer is the first person to talk to him in about 25 years. "Please be my friend Jason. Hey come back, I've got a melismatic passage to show you"

    Back in the day when Nitro came through Kansas City, we loaned them our P.A. for the show that night. I ran into Michael down in Orlando years later and he is such a super nice guy on a personal level. Michael really takes the time to connect with his friends and fans. And what a total talent! Holy Wow Batman! Thanks to Premier Guitars and Jason for doing this interview!!!! I really enjoy watching all of the Rig Rundown videos! :)

    I could talk to him for hours. He seems so open and communicative. A guy you can learn a lot from for sure.

    He probably forgot more technical guitar stuff then I will ever learn in my life... not a huge fan of technical music but gotta give credit where it's due and he is a master. Seems like a very decent guy as well, have a good life Mr Batio, more power to you :)

    He did a clinic in a store I had my guitar shop in. He arrived an hour EARLY, he introduced himself to every employee. I asked if his guitars needed anything, he said they did. He gets his guitars in my shop and asked to use a bench & prepared his own guitar with his own tools! A friendly and very polite guy. We chatted while he dialed in his guitars. He made a great impression on me. A great musician as well.

    That interviewer's brain internally exploded at about the 00:30 second mark. Batio thinks so fast...and so much, probably no one can keep up with him. He's literally thinking many times faster than the rest of the population. That interviewer probably had to seek counseling after this interview.

    He's actually really cool. He's more humble compared to other shredders. He's just saying he's opinion on why he uses a twin guitar. On his other videos, his quality of a good person appears. Respect.

      Maybe you should take note that he's 64 years old and has that kind of enthusiasm still.That's a good thing. I hope I have that kind of passion and can be fired up about music at that age. Oh and then there is his ridiculous ability to play guitar. Almost unbelievable.

    Thank you, Michael Angelo. I learned so much from this "17 minutes of rambling", such as what a good delay time is so that your sound is less intrusive in the band mix. Please keep on talking and inspiring musicians and guitarists, all the while doing it with your bad ass looking guitars! I'd rather listen to you all day than read the hate drivel in the youtube comments...luckily, I didn't have to do it for very long! :)

    I love how he can geek out on music/instruments at the drop of a hat, he's one of the few musicians who can do that so well and still be an incredibly cool guy to shoot-th shit with!

  • @castle6660
    @castle6660 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not only does he seem like a genuinely nice guy...Not only is he the best guitar player ever (not my favorite) but as far as skill and knowledge goes... he IS the best...
    but he takes music SOOOOO seriously it's ridiculous. Very very admirable.

  • @TheYagomestre
    @TheYagomestre 11 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    He's a god and is so modest! It's like "I love my guitars, love my sponsors, yeah I love my rig. And I hope you enjoy the show!", just simple... I mean, most of this god skilled people are great fucktards with a shit ton of arrogance. MAB seems to be a great great guy with a huge charisma.
