This interest in music enabled him to play covers of all his favorite bands. later he moved onto players like Michael Schenker, Randy Rhoads, then Al DiMeola. Michael says:

thats the fastest Id ever heard anybody play guitar and that kind of playing attracted me immediately Around this time period,I started listening to and trying to emulate Classical Music(Bach,Mozart,Paganini,Beethoven and Hayden) Then,I heard Steeler,with Yngwie Malmsteen fo the first time...OMG,I was floored,This guy was better than everybody else out there and he sounded exactly like I wanted to sound!!!
