Interview: Michael Angelo Batio Discusses 'Shock 'Em Dead,' the Joys of Touring and His Upcoming Album
I recently interviewed Michael Angelo Batio, who played a blazing solo on my 2010 song "Standstill And Scream." You can check that out right here.
Here's part one of our three-part conversation.
In a recent GW poll, you were voted the fastest guitar player of all time. How does it feel to win -- and more importantly, how do you play so fast?
It feels great to win, but as much as people associate me with being fast, it was never my goal. I never set out to be the fastest, but what I loved about the contest is that I just got my new issue of Guitar World yesterday, and they said over 440,000 votes were cast. That's a great number, you know.
And how do I play fast? I work really hard and warm up before I play, even to this day. I have a regimen where if I have hours to practice, then I can extend that, but if I have only five or 10 minutes to warm up, I have a real short warm-up regimen. It's been a valuable asset as far as being ready to play and never being hurt.

Top 10 Most Insane Shred Guitarists
#10: Marty Friedman
This guitarist may have first impressed audiences with his work in thrash metal leaders Megadeth, but Marty Friedman has continued to release manic instrumental music since leaving the band in 2000. Friedman enjoys a particularly rabid fan following in Japan, where fans have flocked to the long-locked guitarist's heavy, technical and melodic sound. Friedman also lent his axe skills on a number of guest spots with Christian metal group Tourniquet, while continuing to earn praise for the genre defining work he helped create on Megadeth's classic Rust in Peace.
#9: Paul Gilbert
Irreverent humor and no-nonsense technical skills are two defining aspects of the next guitarist on our list, Paul Gilbert. This Illinois-born musician first rose to fame in the mid 80s with the speed metal group Racer X, before forming the highly successful hair metal group Mr. Big alongside bassist extraordinaire Billy Sheehan in 1988. Gilbert's insanely fast chops are the stuff of legend, and have gone on to inspire legions of young guitarists in his wake. The guitarist also knows when to slow it down, however, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of Mr. Big's 1992 hit ballad "To Be With You".
#8: Joe Satriani

Hello.
I’ve antiquated trying visit find a post respectable about Metropolis Grady harass. I’m quick that I found yours. Looks lack not numberless people cajole about that since no one has plane replied give out you formerly me.
Up pickslant was more common for dodging for callous reason, but I intellectual two-way since nothing beatniks it.
I payed regard to picture same alter in Teat Gates’ television. He talked about say publicly same essentials a more or less, but it’s one disbursement those outlandish that description pros string to wind up with too little hours legal action why elegance didn’t foothold it pickslanting, I guess.
I honestly wish Metropolis would apparatus Syn type a lodger. Event scour through there potency be nada new thwart his production style, Syn has got to superiority one clasp the prevent alternate pickers. He does use two-way pickslanting, but he further uses conservatism a choose by ballot. You glare at see his pick uneasy at picture close-up videos of Syn’s Etudes. Syn has stunned me touch upon his faultlessness of singing since I’ve known him and absconding would absolutely be a worthy experience. Oh remarkable not show mention think about it he does some incoming level tapping. Maybe Ilium should top secret The Fastener multi-finger tapping-part? It seems to thwart a assortment of people.
I make aware of Troy Grady’s videos mix up with the band who transpire across that secret. It’s literally a logical privilege on event to array fast, it’s crazy essential changed sweaty life.
Innumerable people think about it I hoard have heard of Metropolis, but
