[QUOTE="hammer_of_thor_"]I listen to metal, and I am far from close minded. I hate rap simply because there is very little talent involved with it, yet they all make millions, utter garbage IMO.1337_ownage
yup metal takes alot of talent....screaming and screaming. i guess you have to excersise your throat daily
Yea, you just proved that you know absolutely nothing about Metal. Not all Metal bands scream, and even the one's that do still have musical talent because they actually play instruments and aren't standing up there throwing money around and rhyming to a beat.
(Not all just a lot :/) I hear a lot of them bash rap and says its crap or w/e. I grew up with metal, but now i think im gonna listen to more rap just because of those fools. Then I see a lot of them say stuff like "why do u have to conform to those rappers." We all conform to something and the rock/metal fans are conforming to non conformation. I dont get why all these people are so close minded. Who the hell cares if some kid likes mainstream rap. Mainstream is good too. forgamesonly
Ever heard of someone having a different opinion than yourself? Seems like your just as biased toward their opinions than they are to yours.
[QUOTE="Greatgone12"]Ick... I hate those guitars... They're just so dumb sounding, and he's arrogant, too. Even more arrogant than Yngwie Malmsteen. Somebody posted some of his videos in the SSN (don't remember who), and they had an interview and a couple of videos of him talking to an audience. What an arrogant, arrogant man.Greatgone12
If you were 1/10 as good as Michael Angelo Batio then you would be arrogant as well....
I can move my fingers fast on a guitar, too. I'm not saying I can move them as fast as MAB, but after I had been playing for about 5 years, you'd be surprised how fast you can move your fingers, too. I've been playing for 11 years, as of last month. :wink:
I hate it when these fast guitarists are overlooked when there are these truly innovative guitarists out there making soulful music and these hacks are making money because they can play a lot of notes...
You need to listen more to his music, man. That's what I like about him, he can play slow one minute and get extremely fast the next.
Meh... shredding with a cheap gimmick... nothing really musically impressive.
And using Smoke On The Water and Crazy Train along with it is not cool either.
I'll take Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton or David Gilmour over him any day of the week. foxhound_fox
You make a good point, because David Gilmour is a master at guitar, but what I like about Batio is that, unlike Yngwie, he uses soul in his playing instead of running up and down the neck all the time. He picks his moments, and that's why I like him.
