Playing 30 Notes Per Second 🎸Joey De Maio & Michael Angelo Batio Speed Record In Unison

[@woderden2216]

What is wrong with the comment section? Why so many people offended by few fast notes? This is such a sympathic-video! And a true Bromance!!

[@moni426]

i like to call it the "pacman zone" because at a certain tempo everything sounds like an 80s arcade game

[@cybersquatch6938]

Black arrows of death sent straight to the hearts of all those who play false metal AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[@superslayerguy]

I love how Michael is like “this is some real shit, don’t try this at home”

[@Vencislago]

All these years and Manowar is still evolving and stretching the boundaries of heavy metal. The ultra shred zone will melt so many faces around the globe. Can't wait for the new album. MAB is perfect metal warrior for Manowar.

Fast, faster, faster, faster Speeding always kills! Greetings to all Manowar family from Athens Greece ❤

[@cpirazzo]

Fast, faster, faster, faster, speeding always kills. Nothing else takes us to get these thrills.... Blistering Hand speed! Love this content, keep them coming Joey!

[@diariomontadoraustralia]

I am 37 years old... I thought that shred music was dead! There's still hope out there! It's never too late... I never dreamed that I would see you guys doing that! Congratulations Gentleman! It's good to be alive and be able to watch you guys shred! I will immediately pick up my guitar and shred it! Thanks, Joey and Michael!

Joey is the fastest bass player in history

[@realjoeydemaio]

Faster than my personal best a while ago anyways. And not done pushing my limits, brother, that's for sure.

[@mikaelpagdades1751]

Sir, you are a true legend.Definetily the fastest bass player who ever lived and among Steve Harris & Cliff Burton in my opinion the greatest bassist. A true honour, joyous and humbling experience to see you play live.🎉🎉🎉

[@realjoeydemaio]

Thank you so much for the kind words greatly appreciate it I’m just having fun playing and I hope to be able to do more to help other players in anyway, I can thinking about an instructional video and a Masterclass tour and a few things like that let me let me know your thoughts on that

[@raymondraia1601]

​@realjoeydemaio Joey, I love Manowar ever since I first heard you guys up until now, Awesome music! I am thankful that I can send you this message. Your band is very unique and your music has a hell of an energy to it that is for sure. I am proud of your music. There's nobody like Manowar.

Ι'm really digging this a lot, really love those videos...BUT...! What i absolutely love the most is how YOU guys are getting such a huge kick out of this!!! I see Joey having fun, I see MAB having such a good time, both respectful towards each other's talent and dedication!!! seems almost like watching two absolutely care-free children enjoying their new Christmas toys, not giving a flying fuck about the rest of the world around! Can't wait to see more, can't wait for the "Sign of The Hammer 2024" and the new record- when you are having such a great time with your fellow musicians in the band in the studio, I can't see where this can go wrong! We are most probably going to have one more beautiful record like Hail to England, Into Glory Ride, Warriors.../ Gods of War, Kings of Metal or The Triumph of Steel, showing the world who's the real epic leader of the game...One more "magic circle made by the blood of the Kings"! BRING IT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!! Love from Greece guys! Joey, you rule, keep it up, fuck the world!!

[@kurzackd]

They can technically make the notes-per-sec _even DENSER_ ... *if ONE of them starts on the off-beat...* ...So even if they'd each be playing a 64th note (each, separately), theoretically in the combined wall-of-sound it'd be a... *128th note !! :D* Good luck with *THAT* precision tho... It's practically unachievable, unless they slow down the BPM by a factor of like 2-3. ... And *then* speed-up the recording so that it *_sounds_*_ "fast"._ .

[@Laionel76]

Having moved to bass (from guitar) recently and still liking the guitar range, hence I looked into piccolo bass and I ended up here (though I do play slow). Looking at De Maio's instrument makes me think of those good old plectrum banjo, whereas I don't have the requirements Joey faces, I think that bass string spacing is too great. The issue is not that much for the right hand but for the left one, lot of people do fine, plucking with picks, finger or slapping on their five strings, it makes me wonder if manufacturer should consider normalizing the bridge string spacing to five string standard (16.5mm seems like the most common size). Not as radical as the choices Joey De Maio did but it would allow for all the common play-style on bass (some guys crush it on 6 strings with 14mm strings spacing). It feels like bass guitar were designed for giant playing the double bass, I might be fine with a bass / plectrum banjo hybrid (I suspect others too). I love the bass all fourth tuning, but I also like tuning more amenable to chord fingering, people like F A C E I can see why, I enjoy E A C E that it seems nobody uses. It really is E A E with a C string thrown in between like C G B D is C G D with a b string. It feels really like a little guitar, and there are nice chords to playing all over the neck like on banjo but the tuning is a lot more noodling friendly than say standard plectrum banjo. End of my rant, I'm not really into Manowar, though that is high quality content watched two videos in a raw.

[@realjoeydemaio]

You’re on the right track and you got a lot of good stuff said here no doubt about it. You know what you’re talking about. I’m planning on building a bass guitar that will rule the Earth. I’m working on it right now and I hope one day to be able to have something to present to every bass player in the world that they can finally be happy, as we know, there’s a lot of junk out there which nobody deserves to play on no matter who you are or just trying to have fun and be happy seeing people out there harder and money for dog shit

[@fieryinsane]

I made a computer program in highschool in the 90s and I would click a mouse. Given I was a great guitar player even back then I could only hit 12. On a guitar it's probably half that! If you can hit 6 that's something like 300 per minute. Very fast!

[@dimdimis2936]

Fast? Yes! Alternate picking every note? No! But it's impressive!
