I saw the video "Speed Kills" by micheal Angelo to say at first i was impressed but when you watch it a few times over you realize that alot of his "cleanness" in his tone is just due to the setting in which he plays for instance when you use the bridge pickup it sounds less smooth but more shreding ,you can tell he plays stricty useing the neck pickup and a certainly large amount of reverb and other modulation type effects to cover up his ton. Don't get me wrong he is eccelent in technique but id say his song writing abitlity "can't touch" many of the other greats out there like yngwie or vai. not to mention he sounds like a video game and it gets kinda stupid after a while.his songs go ok for a while and sudenly you hear the "fight the end boss music" gr id say he's a waste of technique that creative people should have been given a chance at more often .
