Time Traveler - Michael Angelo Batio (DON'T MIND THE GREEN SCREEN!)

PLEASE READ! I filmed this song live, several years ago, with 1 guitar in front of a green screen and did 3 takes. I chose the 2nd take and that's the version you see and hear. I then added the Quad Guitar and some other fx to the already finished take. When you see 1 guitar, that's the actual live playthough. In editing, when Doug and I (at Metal Method) added the background, it just didn't look good, so we kept this version and did another one. That looked even worse than this one! Unfortunately the drive crashed and the original was lost. I tried to recover a copy of the original with just Me, 1 guitar and the green screen, but no one could find it. I really enjoyed playing this song. Sorry about the "cheesy" background!

Thank you for stopping by to check out the video! I offer lots of guitar content, from play-throughs to lessons & more! Be sure you guys like & subscribe to see more from me!

[@Chretze]

You're amazing, Michael. I still have the Ibanez guitar you signed in Switzerland back in 2011. When you handed it back to me, you said "The shred has been transferred.", I'll never give it away!

[@dregeye]

Just watched you and Herman Li on Twitch. WOW! That was fun and informative. (and very impressive, musically AND personally) Thank you, Mr Batio

[@jzcski]

Thank you for making the video!! A master of the master class!!!

[@JezzmanGAMES]

Yo dude, I just saw Herman Li mention you and just reading your name brought back a wave of nostalgia. I saw one of your videos in highschool of playing a doubleguitar at a small music store somewhere. That was probably one of the first guitar videos I've ever watched. That was before KZbin even existed. Awesome to see you're still shredding to this very day. Stay awesome!

You are so welcome!

You have to give a thumbs up to someone who's not only dedicated their life to guitar, but mastered it and is willing to share and teach others.

[@bronson1392]

I’ll never forget that Speed Kills video back in the ole days, it’s legendary stuff.

[@Chaosdude341]

It's awesome to see MAB getting the credit for his playing (and more importantly, his love of the instrument!) I found MAB back in 2008 or so when I saw the Speed Kills demo, then I saw the Randy Rhodes melody tribute, and it's just crazy to be in an age where all these amazing guitarists are so accessible. Thanks, MAB, for all that you've done, I've never heard anyone say anything about your personality outside of how nice you are. Cheers, man.

Batio is the shred god. I seriously can't think of anyone else who has this level of skill and confidence. Absolutely incredible. So fortunate we got to see him and herman li talk yesterday. What a time to be alive!

[@THRASHDEATH]

This is the most amazing video that i watched in 2020 yet! The 90' touch is just perfect.

[@smoothpicker]

I saw nitro in small club in houston years ago and was 5 feet from Michael the whole show and just blown away at his accuracy and phenomenal ability. After the show I got to talk to him for a couple minutes and he signed my copy of his first instructional video he put out. Nicest guy and no ego at all. Keep shredding mike!!

[@davevargo5873]

Thumb up brother 👍u are a great guitar player an very tight an well gifted God bless you

[@azathoz]

Man, I never heard this song and I'm allucinating. Such great melodies and shredding. You never dissapoint Michael 👍. Thanks for sharing it with all your fans. And thank you for the story behind this video in the description. The coolest and kindest of all metal guitarist I know. You rock!

[@MichaelAngeloBatioOfficial]

I'm very lucky to met him once in real. He is very down to earth person🤘🏻❤️🎸🔥. Keep it up Mike 🤘🏻

[@EricBourassa]

MAB is one of the few shredders I can listen to and genuinely enjoy. Him and Yngwie. But MAB is the GOAT because he's also a great songwriter. Enjoyed this song a lot, thanks MAB!

[@MeongMiao]

[@fuzzcous]

Very cool.🤘

[@peroquemamonazo]

Wow, this is really impressive mate ... It is just the fact that after many, many, years playing guitar you just made me realize that I'm not trying hard enough, not even close. It is not just the speed and the taste, it is about how clean all these notes come out from your guitar, just insane. Hats off Mr. Batio!

[@thelickpolice1210]

You don't see the name of the song match with the song itself so well too often. But then again you don't see this level of guitar playing too often either. Keep shredding, Michael!

[@dbassir87]

MAB is my ultimate guitar hero since I was a kid. This video is soooo epic! 🤘🤘🤘

Insane! I love watching and listening to this out of this world playing and composition by Mike whether it's the 1st time or the two hundred and fiftieth. Always get me excited, and makes me very happy. Mike Batio is in a superior class all by himself.

[@vladsteponstepoff1159]

Welcome back,MASTER 🐥🎸

[@thane_snipes]

I gotta say, the green screen and "cheesy background" are rather evocative of a time gone by. I think it's pretty tastefully done. And of course, your playing is worth paying attention to no matter the circumstances. Keep being fucking awesome Michael.

[@timg2727]

The thing that always stands out to be when I watch MAB play is his pick control. It's absolutely otherworldly.

[@fredrios1402]

MAB doesn't know the term, "I'm sorry", only "Hold on, it's gonna be a ride..." Dude has stuck to his guns for 50 fucking years and kids today love him. History will prove MAB is a legend in 500 years from now as the king of the 20th century shredders ...

[@will4673]

I remember hearing NITRO as a teen....I was blown away by MAB....never could get to that speed, not even close. But you were one of my heroes in the day. You still play amazing and I love my 🇺🇸DEAN’s also ! Thanks for the memories MAB and setting me on the path of music for 34 years now. In 1989 I would have flipped out if I could just go to MAB page and talk and he respond....people are so accessible now. Kinda crazy but if you got popular back then you had to work your ass off for it and be good. Totally different nowadays....

[@terdcutter3193]

You don't have to apologize for anything Michael, cheesy green screens are cool and part of the 80s charm. Nice to see the quad guitar too, it's all over the top and ridiculous, and that's why we love it \m/

[@rickeguitar9086]

Mike, I will never be able to do on one guitar or with one side that you can do using both sides! But, you inspire me to where I recently had my Ibanez RG Series guitar frets filed as low as possible in order to get the speed concept a little better than I have using the "railroad track" frets that come with the guitar! Thanks, man for what you do! Just saw your interview with Phil McKnight. Anyone interested in a great conversation among two great people... go and check out that interview on KZbin land!
