Anybody else a fan of this fucking amazing guitarist?

Most of you probably seen No Boundaries, which is just sick or you probably seen the X guitar thing in his band "Nitro"

 

[Astrum]

I think he is a great guitarist, pretty flashy too

kind of goofy, but pretty cool:

Both Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol are awesome. More on topic, there are some pretty funny videos of Batio on youtube, go look.

Steve Vai FTW.

 

[metal_wrath]

Batio is good.

However, I prefer Eric Johnson's very tone-filled guitar work, not flashy either. Batio is good if you want to see something almost impossible...in an outdated neoclassical style...

 

[Astrum]

Steve Vai FTW.

i like malmsteen better, i think he is more talented. he can play faster, but also with a lot of melody.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Vai is extremely talented. Its great watching vids of him online and he plays stuff like it is nothing.
It just sucks that his music is mega bleh.

 

[Astrum]

yeah, thats why i like malmsteen better.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

john petrucci

edit: and of course joe satriani kicks more ass than vai but malmsteem is a beast though i think petrucci is better

 

[Hatebreeder]

Intense guitar wankery is all that Batio's good for. Other than that, he's forgettable. Nice X guitar thing, though.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Nitro's OFR is the funniest album ever made.

If Malsteen is God, Romeo is Jesus....times 457

Malmsteen's music is kind of grating in its overt technicality. :zombie:

Romeo- God
Petrucci- Jesus
Malmsteen- Moses

He is a terrible songwiter. It is a shame that such a talented guitarist can't write good songs.

 

[Phoenix5]

Romeo- God
Petrucci- Jesus
Malmsteen- Moses

Haha, even better!

"This lick is from back in the day when people liked things that I like, such as this hair style."
