Michael Angelo Batio is such a cool person it is great you had him on Herman.
Michael
He seems like the nicest guy, they both do.
I saw him in an interview for the first time about a year ago and was very surprised by how nice and kind he seemed.
Since I knew of his reputation as a guitar player, perhaps the best, I expected a diva.
Herman is a good guy too.
I've always loved metal but not very deep into their kind, so I know the best bands often are the nicest and I'm glad to see that it doesn't change when you can play Bach flawless at 10 time the original speed. 😄
Have you ever noticed the musician really seem to be the friendly guys in music.
@@graeme1744 you should watch some old interviews with Jim Gillette the Vocals for Nitro
These two guys are just such nice people , all class , no big egos, and incredible players to boot
Yeah they are and funny too, both of them playing with bags over their heads lol!
Absolutely 💯 🤘😎🤘🎸🎶🎵
Both are absolute class acts and top tier shredders.
MAB is the man. He's got a great memory and has some great stories from the 80's shred days.
Hell yeaaaaaah dude
One of the best...such a nice dude.
ROY MARCHBANK.
I love that MAB just sounds like your typical dad from the midwest, and then he's literally the devil on 6 strings. The dude is hilarious and genuine.
I worked in a music store around 2000, and we had the pleasure of hosting MAB doing a clinic twice. One of the nicest, most genuine guys I’ve ever met and an absolute master of both guitar and storytelling. Was doing an internet radio podcast thing a few years later and we managed to get him live for an interview on national guitar day! The great thing about interviewing Batio, is he can literally talk all night without stopping. He’s got so many fun and cool stories of learning to play guitar, designing and making custom guitars, performing in venues large and small with pretty much everybody who’s ever played rock, etc. Just give him a mic and turn him loose, and you’re guaranteed some fantastic content! Plus, he’s a huge, unapologetic guitar nerd and totally geeks out about anything guitar related. Love him!
National Guitar Day should be a national holiday! Along with National Drum Day, "I don't want to work! I just want to band on the drum all day! Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Nitro was such a cool band. Good do see he’s still jammin
I went to one of his clinics just a year or two before and had the same experience. Got to talk to him about metronome practice. 100% authentic guy.
I was just a 12 year old kid trying to learn and this man gave me keys to the Lamborghini. Legend.
I'm still driving a horse and buggy 😄🤣😝🤪
I ended up with a Fiat, but I’ll take it lol Economy picking is a bitch
@@warpath6666 Hahaahaa
@@olidoran2485 MAB gave me the keys to the Lamborghini but I locked them in the trunk 😝
Are you the younger Malmsteen from a parallel dimension, which at some point entangled to Batio from ours, in different timelines?
MAB is such a wholesome person, what a legend!
I know right. Youd think by his appearance and sound that hes all about drug sex and rock and roll, but hes the complete opposite of that. Total legend.
Michael is a true living legend. It is an absolute honor to sit and watch him playing with Herman (another living legend). I was a singer in an 80s metal band and this brought back so many memories. Brought a tear to my eye. The world absolutely stinks that this kind of talent seems to not be viable commercially in the West. God bless Japan and Europe for keeping metal alive. There is a reason Marty Friedman moved permanently to Japan. Such a great rock/metal scene there. Thanks again Herman for having Michael on.
Its insane Becker is still alive. My grandfather died of ALS, he was dead in 8 yrs. They gave him 3. Its wild Jason is still alive 33 yrs later after being diagnosed.
Go jason! He is an inspiration.
HEARTS was a real fun CD.
I had the honor of meeting MAB in 2010. Nicest guy ever. I told him his playing was on fire, his response was "yeah its hot out!" 😆
Love to hear the guitars sing. So much fun to see you jam with others. Much love ❤️
Love Michael. Glad to see you are well Herman, looking forward to more DragonForce in the near future!
Herman Li... you're so cool, man. I love your energy, presence, your vibe! Thank you so much for the joy.
I got a chance to audition for him back in the early 80's (my first band audition)in North Hollywood, when he started Nitro, I was only 19 & a single bass drum player. He kept me on stage for quite a while, everyone thought I had the gig. He was so cool & patient. Stellar player, best audition of my life! Cheers from an old Las Vegas drummer!!
These interviews are all great. Thanks Herman.
Batio is literally a living laser beam of guitar metal energy. His dedication to what he doses is like a finely tuned, focused laser. Amazing guy. Great chat Herman. Thank you.
Two guitarists full of talent, and 'NOT' full of themselves. A pleasure to watch. THANK YOU.
Legend! 🤘🏻
Damn you guys are amazing ❤️❤️
Michael it truly one of the nicest guys in the industry. I've heard so many stories of him going the extra mile with fans at guitar shop demos etc. I admittedly wrote him off as a gimmick back in the early 90s, but I later the more and more I learned about him the greater respect I had for his talent.
very cool interview, jam etc.
The stories are freaking awesome! I love this!
This is such a great video. The stories and music geekery is super cool.
A couple of great guys with insane talent! 🤘
i love this both guitarist herman and michael angelo rock and roll to the world.
Agree with @Mark!!! Really cool you had M.Angelo on, such an icon! Great episode!
You guys are AWESOME!!!
Very nice!!!🤘🤘🤘
I love this!
I remember watching Michael Angelo when his Star Licks video first came out. He was another level and I was fortunate enough to email him and have conversation back when the internet was in it's early days. A really nice guy and I've followed all the things he's done over the years.
Great interview, thanks.
Amazing video!!!🤩
I met him at a small local music shop in PA back around like 2008-9ish. he put on a 15 minute performance and hung out for a couple hours after. Seemed like a really chill guy with insane talent on guitar
Could you tell me what part of PA this was at? If it's ok with you...
@@LS-ti1rz I believe it was in Dallas,PA. Not 100% sure on the name of the shop. Wayne’s world or music or something like that
ok this was just so awsome . hes got the hybrid tele that guitar is so bad ass. you guys rock. i wish you the best on the fundraiser
You guys sound so good together ❤️
Very nice to see one of the old legends and stil rock on🤘🏾
I remember seeing a VHS tape with Micheal Angelo when I was in middle school and was so blown away. And I still am over 30 years later. Guitar God!
Great interview Herman 👍
The Unknown Guitarist act was AWESOME! I was lucky to see Michael rip it live. I was blown away by the show and his God level talent.
Cheers Michael! Always a pleasure to see you :)
It's awesome what your doing for Jason Becker Jason Becker.
AWESOME riffs!!
Herman, l Ioved the Shred Talk with Michael Angelo Batio. Amazing player, and a genuinely nice guy. Would love to see you do a Shred Talk with Chris Impellitteri!
WOW…how badass was that little medley?! I freaking love thrash…it’s just so much fun to play!!!
Michael Angelo Batio is an amazing player ,does it all with a smile on his face ,great guy and the reason he is so well loved
BLESS JASON BECKER!!!! THANK YOU FOR WORKING TO HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!
Got to open for Micheal Angelo in San Antonio a few years back and he was great. He shot the shit with us. Really cool guy.
Batio is such a gentleman and a real legend
Had the pleasure seeing Mike in a small industrial estate in Colchester Essex many moons ago in the 2000s. 30 to 40 people max but he played and entertained like he was in front of thousands. Awesome and humble all at once.
Mind blowing!
Michael Angelo is no joke he's a freaking beast on the guitar.
I really like Michael. He’s such a genuine guy. It’s seems to me he’s stuck in shred mode. I guess that’s his thing but I’d sure like to hear him slow down and here his melodic ideas once i awhile. Maybe I’ve missed those songs so I’ll have to go through his catalogue and check it out. Really cool guy I’ve seen him on videos and stuff since the late 80’s. Keep rocking man!
Ive met and talked to Mike many times at various Chicago shows over the years but I first met him at the Thirsty Whale before seeing him in Nitro, he was in a band called Holland. I also saw Cacophony at the Thirsty Whale too. I'm so glad I was there to see so many great bands like Vicious Rumors with Carl Albert. Great interview Herman.
Happy birthday Herman ! 🎂
what two great guitarists and what good people both of them
Michael is a phenomenal talent and a great guy as well.
That was so dope
Both are awesome i love you guys
So crazy
Herman li and Michael angelo batio jamming
The thought it's self is mind blowing
nice editing chatting and jamming
I met Michael Batio in Hollywood at the Whiskey, Hes an amazing human!
thats very great best amazing awesome one of the best icons legendary hero greatest playing guitar solo artists magistral michael angelo hall of famer all of time. thank you herman & michael angelo the true power metal forever 🤘🎸
Awesome video and great shredding! Speaking of fast guitarists, going through my old LP's does anyone remember "The Great Kat"? Songs a bit ridiculous but fun to look back on and listen again.
Nitro was over the top in every way, just like Michael!
Glad to still see this Rock Shredding Good Guy doing what he loves.🤘
I love how passionately he is about about making his guitars
Herman. I love the humility which you demonstrate in these interviews. As a lifelong guitarist living in Seattle for the las 25yrs since 1995 (w a 2yr sideline in Miami. Great beaches. Not so great racism.
Inclusively. Love that as it brings me back to my punk roots. Thanks and I’ll be following!
L’Chaim!
Big baby crying about waycism , get on with life it's words you absolute muppet.
MAB is such a heart and gives his heart for Jason Becker ..... Great level of respect 👍💙🎸🎼🇵🇬
Simply insane
MAB played in STL back a few years ago at FUBAR. Most humblest dude I've ever met, asked the sound guy for a fan, got it and thanked dude personally like 6xs while playing. such a down to earth human being
Im so glad you had michaelagelo on!!!!
MAB such an inspiration,! Cheers from México!
Shrapnel Records was my go to for discovering new shredders in the 80s....I recall the label adds in all the Guitar for the practicing musician mags( my fave)...
So many amazing shredders under the Shrapnel label....
Batio, Cacophony, Firkins, Coven, Moore, Fredianelli, so many....etc etc....
Dungeon of love!
I asked a question on Michael's youtube about sweep picking and he actually replied. Such a humble guy and a god at the same time. \m/
Without question one of the greatest!
One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and a brilliant guitar player.🙌
Such a beast at playing. Hailz Micheal Angelo Batio
Now THAT is some shredding.
Amazing 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
MAB \m/ \m/
So cool to see you two jam!
Goosebumps~ 🤗
love his 'Yngwie can't touch this' track. downloaded it from Napster/Kazaa, back in the day :)
Thank you🙂🤘
I really enjoyed watching MAB in this video. He seems to be in a good headspace and enjoying life.
I remember seeing Michael play in the eighties when he was playing in Holland in the Milwaukee area.
What a dude, great stories!
Herman Li is Enjoying every second of this 🤣🤣
I got a few of MAB's instructional vids at age 49. Although I'm no virtuoso, I learned a lot!
I really wanted to learn sweeping because I saw all these young kids doing it!
I'm able to do sweep arpeggios but not super fast. Also The very simple 5 note exercise for alternate
picking actually gave me a bit more speed!
A legend!!!
That was an awesome guitar duo
WOW 🤘🤘
I've seen Nitro back in 1991 in Lake Worth FL . Small venue but one of the greatest shows I've been to! Michael was AMAZING!
What's really cool is you don't get to see MAB do a lot of jam track improv. Really awesome to see that side of him.
These are the best stories 🔥🔥🔥
One of Herman's best interviews IMO! Listening to both Herman and Mike's humor and very clean classy personalities prove you dont have to be raunchy or vulgar (Satchel) to be a guitar virtuoso! Compared to some guitarists I've listened to, I appreciate the amount of respect you try to display for audiences who value tact and professionalism! You guys are so fun to watch and hear together!! Amazing Duo my friends!!
I met Micheal at a clinic he had. It was a tiny music store. Only about 25 people showed. He was the nicest person ever. He was shocked when I asked about the Shock Em Dead movie he was in lol. My favorite thing he said. “ Are there any more questions because I’m getting ready for the finally shred and then it’s over” lol I am pretty sure he had the 4 guitar set up then as well. It was the early 90’s. Amazing time. Thank you Michael. It was something I will never forget.
Micheal is the shit. What a humble dude. One of the nicest guys ever. And what a crazy talented guitarist.
He’s so laid back and chill.. Really nice dude… Like Beaver Cleaver with a guitar!!
Wait, I'm a blues player from the south east US, I went to Batios guitar School and met him 20 years ago while I was a professional player, and he blew me away. My dad taught me to play reverse left handed, because he was lefty. I thought nobody embody that Spirit of using both sides of your brain than Micheal, even though I'm not a metal head
