Dude is 66 years old and still saying funny shit like 200BPM ain't even in the shred zone. Legend. 🤘😎🤘

[@minkorrh]

Are you kidding? 66? Lol. Guys got more talent than 10 youtubers put together, not that youtubers lack talent, but the only other person I've seen play two necks is The Doo. Speed isn't everything, and only shows learned technique, but he's got the chops. It's hilarious.

[@arthemas8176]

He might be 66 years old, looks like 55 years old and has the spirit of a 20 years old 😎

[@ammarayoub3246]

Because 200 bpm isn't . Shred zone starts around 250. I don't mean playing 16ths at 250, in case you're referring to that.

[@donnafarran5326]

ROCK ON, BROTHER!!! You are killing it!!!! ⚔️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@zloidooraque0]

how do you do fellow kids

[@groovelife415]

People really questioned MAB and Joey's ability to play at that speed? With all the videos of MAB just melting face, people still try to question his ability. Unbelievable.

[@xaphan8581]

Lol and despite how retarded people are he is still so nice about it

[@MANOWARband]

thank you for your faith brother. If you’re going to speed, you haven’t seen anything yet wait till you see some of the videos we’re gonna be doing in the future all the haters better have their seatbelt on. Thank you so much for your support. Please subscribe to my channel at real Joey DeMaio, and tell your friends to join us

After the "speed kills" video, I just can't question this man capacity and abilities.

[@michaelc2775]

​​@@joaopedropereira1390When I saw the speed kills video and saw Michael Angelo batio do the over under technique I was blown away thinking:HOW DOES HE DO THAT?!?!

[@crazytrain639]

MAB started playing piano at 5 and picked up guitar at 10. Then proceeded to practice 10-12 hours a day. Don't question his ability again. As for Joey... don't even go there, Brothers United

[@fabio-vb7xu]

That's almost the keys to TWO Lamborghinis!

[@dachonyofficialtv]

😂

[@bjorngoud5259]

Is it possible that TWO lamborgina’s have the same key. And in what key is he shredding anyway.

[@calypsoshoard9132]

It's endearing watching and listening to him talk...like hearing your grandpa tell you an old story.

[@georgeaslanidis4789]

My thoughts exactly. The cool grandpa we wish we all had.

[@stickiedmin6508]

@@jin23666 Not only a perfect fit when it comes to talent, skill, musicality and ethos, but a large proportion of MAB's collection of instruments could be legitimately classed as deadly weapons.

Without a doubt, hopefully you could ever meet him in person. He’s very genuine, and all respects.

[@randomasdfx7891]

100% sure he has more memorable solos than you. Regardless of your opinion about his playing, he has inspired and launched careers of hundreds of thousands of guitarists worldwide while you, a random YT account with an opinion, is just sore you're a bedroom guitarist for life.

Mike your registration of notes is out of this world at that speed.... No one has it while dry and hence Mike is Mike .... Plus your variety .....

I don't even know if that exists. I didn't know he played with Manowar!! When was this made??

[@AAAA-lt9hq]

When 16 year old kids are just starting out, they often think they can play that fast because they can't count and feel 16th notes in the pocket, so they up the click so they have a shorter pocket. My metronome at GIT wouldn't even go above 220 bpm.

Hi Micheal, nobody wants to admit you are just that insanely talented, regardless of your age. (which gives just that much moe creedence) Watching ANYONE play two necks at the same time is so far beyond me it's not funny. Mess everyone up like you can.

first its 190bpm for the keys to the lamborghini but now its 275?!! I'll never get there if it keeps increasing like this :(

[@johnnydunne4614]

Ive watched enough of this guys content to know that theres no question hes able to play 275 bpm, with both hands, crossed over each other.

[@hcnilsson]

No need for controversy, just pure shred /,,/

[@modev4163]

I never doubted it, im a regular guy who's been playing a few decades and i can do 200, but i wouldn't call it slow😂. What a champ!
