LOL @ yngwie …
LOL @ yngwie swinging around the broken guitar piece.
Lol hes a real …
Lol hes a real hardass in interviews.
omg…the end is …
omg…the end is ic
We love yngwie
We love yngwie
I wonder what mini …
I wonder what mini amp he is using here in the begining. Anyone have any ideas? It doesn’t sound half bad, ofcoarse it is Yngwie it could just be him. Looks kind like an old marshall ms-2 but slighty bigger and they didn’t have those back then.
*Shrugs* I don’t …
*Shrugs* I don’t know.
what did he say …
what did he say about EVH?
Restless Shredding …
Restless Shredding = the fury = the power = Yngwie
0:47 to 0:55 Looks …
0:47 to 0:55 Looks like young Ritchie Blackmore }:D
True, there’s a lot …
True, there’s a lot more melody, power and mysticism in his early stuff, rising force, trilogy, odyssey, the genesis…
But now, it’s Unleash the fury, attack!!, etc….
But there’s alwyas at least two or three GOOD songs in his albums, but the rest just doesn’t give the same shivers to your back that the old stuff does.
He’s a killer now, but back in those days, he was god like.
I ing ove …
I ing ove yngwie, he’s a ledge.
On the subject of drugs, I’ve always believed he dabbled with speed back then. I know alot disagree but I am pretty sure of it.
Most people did back then.
i like the early …
i like the early yngwie in the 80’s, now he just repeating and shredding too fast. i just can’t feel the soul in those notes.
like when he was playing in the G3 on those Jimi cover songs. he just shredding fast, no feels at all.
in the 80’s, i think he is better.
nowaday, his albums ain’t much impressive stuff.
As far as the …
As far as the substance abuse goes, it was the 80’s, but you didn’t need it to make great music. Look at Frank Zappa, you know? I was more shocked in that Joe and Steve chose to play with Yngwie, because I thought they disliked people who “just” shredded, you know? People who don’t apparently do anything new with the instrument.
As did I. Yes, I agree.
I would agree with …
I would agree with that a 100% about taking that attitude off stage as well as the substance abuse. I was shocked as when Joe and Steve invited him on the the G3 tour because the they were frequent targets of him. But like you said I guess they worked it out or realized that business is business. I am a huge Yngwie fan and I just took all that stuff from the 80’s/90’s in stride. Seems as though he’s much improved in that aspect in his life now.
stage. I guess he …
stage. I guess he didn’t know how to act like himself when offstage, so he carried that “stage persona” offstage, and it obviously impacted his life and the way people view him. It’s that chip on the shoulder thing that he probably until recently has figured out how to manage, and good on him that he did, he’s a great player. A fantastic player, ! lol.
Probaby doesn’t …
Probaby doesn’t negate the fact that he did say something about EVH, but he likes his playing the same, or at least he says that now. Yngwie played with Vai on the G3 tour, so I guess they patched things up or something, and Vai(this prob isn’t relevant but whatever) has constantly stated that Rising Force(Debut album), as one of his “top five”, if you will, albums. Imo, I think he got the rep of being an hole because of the stage, and coke. You know, how you need to put on a big act when on.
I’m not trying to …
I’m not trying to be a dick or anything, but you’re saying he’s an hole because he harbored some opinions about other people’s tone/playing? I love Steve Morse and Steve Vai. If we were talking about, say Dimebag’s tone(I hope this doesn’t bring fanboys), universally, nearly everyone thinks that his tone sucked. Does that make everyone who harbors that opinion an hole? No. And the EVH thing, Malmsteen probably said that because he was insecure, he loves EVH, has said so in interviews.
Don’t get me wrong, …
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big Yngwie fan but he got the rep of being an hole because he is! That being said he did as much to change the face of rock guitar as anyone other than Hendrix and his attitude seems ALOT better now that he is sober.
… and that his …
… and that his vibrato sounded like a ing banjo!
Actually he got the …
Actually he got the rep of being an hole because he slammed other guitar players. Like Steve Morse in the late 90’s, Steve Vai in the 80’s. I remember one time he said he was at a party in the 80’s and EVH did’nt come over and talk to him and he said he understood because if someone had knocked him off his perch of guitar god like he had he would be jealous too. He said that Vai’s tone sounded like a mosquito and he said about Morse that he thought his tone sucked….
poor guitar..
poor guitar..
It’s kind of the …
It’s kind of the opposite for me, in every interview I’ve read or seen, it just seems that he answers the question, albeit in his own way, I don’t see how he’s a dick or an hole in any way. I’m not saying this as a fan boy, I ignore that and actually analyze the conversation and nothing in it actually points to me that he’s full of himself. He just answers the question, lol. All well, to each his own.
he makes playing …
he makes playing that song look so easy,i hate him jk
man he can make …
man he can make that guitar scream!!
lol in this he …
lol in this he seems like he really doesnt know much about guitars or anything he justs picks it up and plays lol
