One of the top 5 guitarists?, IN WHAT?, WANKING?, how about pure talent for what its worth?, what does batio have other than speed?, nothing. He has no versatility, his tone and technique blows, and his improv is even worse, you want a good technical guitarist?, you are wasting your time with batio, hes a disgrace to guitar players around the world, hes a disgrace to guitar playing and hes a disgrace to music, listen to Shawn Lane, Jan Akkerman, Phil Keaggy, Steve Howe, Paco De Lucia, Django Reinhardt, Allan Holdsworth or Frank Zappa, those are players with taste and imagination, real creativity and "real" talent, all the qualitys that batio lacks.

Touche'

Think Dream Theater then think Batio. He even has a gay name fer christ sake.

Also Steve Vai has been playing 2 guitars long before Batio, so much for those innovation points.

I wasn't saying that he deserves to be anywhere near great players like Hendrix, or SRV but that he is fast and being fast isnt what it is all about

Hendrix was revolutionary, but I wouldn't say great, his stuff isn't all that tough to play and if you listen to his live stuff it was always full of mistakes.

Eddie Van Halen

^ but he is stupid so his (batio) opinion doesnt count. and he will hopefully get carpoltunnel (sp?) syndrom and go poor and then have to get a real job and never taint people's minds with the idea that he is a good guitarist and that if you can play sweeps at 250 bpm then you are good. gah... how much does he make?

Merkaba · 11-11-2005, 06:11 PM

Batio earns 3 blowjobs and 1 handjob a day.

mosesandtherubberducky · 11-11-2005, 06:15 PM

By who though?

mosesandtherubberducky · 11-11-2005, 06:37 PM

It was how he changed guitar playing that makes him great, and so what if he made mistakes live. Nobody can play a set of stuff that is not just powerchords w/o making a mistake
