lol. Yeap, if you can do, go forth and do. It would be a nightmare trying to back him though. I think I would have pooped my pants if he had a bass on one neck and a guitar on the other.
In his case, the answer is because he can. Batio is a technical monster. His career is built on the goofy guitar hero character.
That's just his double guitar: have you seen his quad guitar? He might be one of those archetypal shredder show-offs, but he is pretty darned good at what he does.
+1 And from what I've seen of the guy, he seems like a pretty chill dude, unlike many other shredders from the day. And to answer your question of who could back up such insanity, well... check out his band, Nitro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGIk6QqSHd4
lol. Exactly the band I would imagine him being in. Dude has chops, no doubt. Him being grounded and a nice guy is honorable. Him having to refret his guitar after every performance is pure insanity.
Funny fact: The super goofily big haired lead singer from the band I linked the vid to was(is?) married to Lita Ford.
