Angelo is not LAME. Angelo is friggin' awesome. I have the Speed Kills DVD and the only time I ever saw him use those dampeners was when he was playing the double neck guitar and playing with both hands over the top.

Keep in mind that this is not a true double neck guitar. This is a guitar that looks like a huge V with a true left handed guitar and a true right handed guitar.

How many guitarist do you know that can play both right handed at insane speeds and left handed at insane speeds. After you figure that out, then find one that can do it at the same time. To say Angelo is LAME, and can't make his sweeps sound good, you're just insane.
