And yes, I've seen him play (both on video and up close). He's very talented, but he's boring!
When people ask me which Michael Angelo album they should buy, the answer is always "No Boundries". Once you've heard that, you've heard everything he has to offer.
And I don't see how you can even compare Yngwie's and Angelo's stage presence.
They both need to get a haircut (or in Angelos case, get a new piece) and stop dressing like its 1985.
And as far as the actual composition goes...just because Michael Angelo is playing a thousand notes per minute doesn't mean its all that complex. He even admits it himself, all his playing is is a few short patterns played over and over again combined. And he's not really faster than Yngwie either. Even a lot of Yngwie fans haven't really heard him play in the last few years. Check out his latest studio album, or better yet... check out his tracks on Derek Sherinian's newest album "Black Utopia". Yngwie's solo on the first track "The Fury" is the absolute fastest I've ever heard, and (this is impressive even by yngwie's standards), he picks it all, rather than doing his usuall half-assed combination of every legato and picking style known to man.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. "
You didn't say that, it was Michael Angelo, talking about himself!
Of course it doesn't really matter, they're both pretty silly.
