American guitarist known for extreme speed and technical shredding; solo artist and former member of the band Nitro.

Widely known for extreme technical speed, shredding style, use of multi-neck and left/right-handed guitar setups, solo instrumental albums (including No Boundaries, Planet Gemini, Hands Without Shadows), and instructional materials. Former member of the hard rock/metal band Nitro.

DeBaser reviews consistently praise Michael Angelo Batio's extreme technical ability but criticize a perceived lack of musical substance. Reviewers call out lengthy, similar soloing, heavy use of covers, and weak songwriting. The reception on these albums is largely unfavorable.

For:guitarists, shred enthusiasts, and listeners who value technical virtuosity over songwriting

 This "No Boundaries" is more or less a product of the artistic quality of "Madre Tortura" by Richard Benson, with the only difference being that it's well-played, so to speak, it's a perfectly written little exercise, but completely devoid of content.
