Voted "One of the Top 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists of All Time!" -Guitar World Magazine March 2004 (Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix are among the Top 100 chosen)!

"Laser guided fretwork and the fastest of fingers: Mr. Angelo is practically a god. Seriously!" -Total Guitar Magazine in the UK

“More machine than man”! -Guitar One Magazine

Guitar World Magazine (January 2004 issue) voted Michael’s “Speed Kills” DVD "One of the top 75 best, must have guitar DVDs of all time!"

Guitar World called “Speed Kills”: “The ultimate face-melting instructional DVD”.

“Michael Angelo Batio, the world’s fastest guitarist and inventor of the mind-boggling Double Guitar ...” -Guitar World Magazine

Michael invented and was the world’s first player of the twin-necked, left and right-handed Double-Guitar. He plays the guitar right or left-handed. He also plays both guitars together in harmonies or two separate parts together at the same time.

Michael also invented the String Dampeners that he uses on the Double-Guitar.

Michael invented his signature stage move called the “MAB Over-Under” technique.

Michael, like Joe Satriani, also has a famous guitar student. Michael taught (Rage Against The Machine and AudioSlave) guitarist Tom Morello while Michael was attending college. Tom has credited MAB with teaching him in a feature article in Guitar World Magazine.

On October 27th, 2005 Michael released his critically acclaimed “Hands Without Shadows” CD. This is Michael’s most ambitious work to date featuring guest appearances by Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge and Creed, Rudy Sarzo of Ozzy, Whitesnake and Quiet Riot, Doug Marks, founder of Metal Method, virtuoso guitarist Bill Peck and more. Bobby Rock played drums on the entire CD. The primary bassist William Kopecky is a 6 string and fretless virtuoso.

MAB is currently a columnist for Guitar World Magazine. His column, “Time to Burn”, is also available on the GW CD-ROM.

Michael is from Chicago and has a B.A. in Music Theory and Composition from Northeastern Illinois University.
