Yngwie Malmsteen-Black Star

[skwiddjergensen]

Gee whiz Ing Vee. Maybe after you polish your cross and leather oants you could attempt to play "Highway Star"  twice as fast.

[BritishStrings]

Stop hating on each other >_> grow up and be mature. Enjoy the music, or if you don't like it, go and enjoy your own music. Insulting others tastes proves nothing but your own ignorance.

[stradlin62]

Blackmore, Page, Hendrix, Les Paul, Slash (with Snakepit), Eric Bell, Joe Perry, Keith Ritchard (Rolling Stones) are the best musicians with guitar ever!! But I cannot rank Malmsteen with them..

[donniedarko88888]

I fucking hate his face and the moment i see him i want to vomit..but i LOVE his music!

[threelitretwin]

skill



[Gibson400SG]

He's so good he can even play without moving ;)



[YosyGS]

@Gibson400SG

Actually

he is able to play so fast, you cant see him moving :)

[LuisRojasGallardoRea]

[FreeToSnipe]

240p is HD in Africa

[Gibson400SG]

He's so good he can play without movin' ;d

[FaziniSS]

wonderful

[sarabower1]

I remember listening to this at 12 or 13 yrs old and I was just blown away.

Now over 20 yrs later I still feel the same

[roksor1000]

He must use a whammy for the harmony x)

[TRUEorFAKE]

This is the best song by Yngwie Malmsteem. :)

[deedeeke1991]

How come i've never heard this song before Ö It's divine

[MyZero555]

I remember hearing this song for the first time in the 80's and thought this guy is from another planet. Clearly an alien.

[HerveGamerDude]

ive heard people say ynqwie is all shred no melody but this sounds nice

[1bol1]

@HerveGamerDude those people are stupid, shredding IS melodies, only they are very very fast

[MrImmortalTT]

fucking love it

[Jacksonkellyfreak]

@boondockfiction back in the good old days of the 80s if you could even play one note on the guitar panties would drop. what the fuck happened? now these whiny depressed freaks get more pussy than any of the true rockers.

[1234567890abc560]

I bet he have a 6 pack on his fingers

[fretburner18]

For others who get frustrated by the "no emotion" comments, let me put it simply. Unless you play slow blues, mediocre guitarists will walk around saying that you have no emotion. Either they are ignorant of the fact that there are emotions other than sadness, or they suck at guitar and insult others in order to feel better about themselves.

[lilithm00n]

I love it from 1.16 .. its so delicious.

[styxinyourneck09]

Why are people hating on Michael Angelo Batio? actually why are people hating at all?

[Tzourasgg]

@styxinyourneck09 people hate in order to apreciate other (beautifull) feelings..."Without the darkness,how would we recognise the light".....

[xXxHumanityxXx]

@Tzourasgg Hey man fuck you..

:P..

Fucking reptilian illuminati..

[Tzourasgg]

@xXxHumanityxXx  XD

[1234567890abc560]

I think that the accoustic part must be longer

[Darrylizer1]

God I'd hate to be the drummer or bassist in this song, their parts are so simple and boring.

[trueshinchan]

@Darrylizer1 the drumming isn't as easy

[styxinyourneck09]

@trueshinchan yes it is

[heady420sativa]

@Darrylizer1 Seriously... Sounds like a freaking drum machine! So boring!

[honorlea]

I definetely would rank Yngwie the best guitarist in the world. Hands down.

[YoItsMePalmer]

@honorlea Yngwie is definitely up there, if you like Malmsteen I think you should check out Michael Angelo Batio. He is a maestro when it comes to guitar, check out some vids of that guy.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@YoItsMePalmer while i do agree that MAB is fucking amazing, to me at least, i've just never heard anyone that can do what yngwie does

i've heard a lot of great stuff, trust me, but without any sort of bias, my opinion of him after going through his shit, was instantly "this is the greatest guitar player of all time, period"

and that is not to put down any other guitar player, there are many greats, nuno, mab, gilmour, friedman etc

but to me, this is the best of all worlds

[YoItsMePalmer]

@banklikefrankwhite1 nice! we all have our favorites, Yngwie is incredible no doubt.

[turnthatuptoeleven]

Shredding is stupid, but at least this guy's material sounds better than that queer Michael Angelo Batio...

[ilovepantera97]

@turnthatuptoeleven shredding ain´t stupid. micheal angelo is stupid

[euqamratz]

if only yngwie wasnt such a douche..

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@euqamratz do you think you'd be a douche if you were that good? serious question, not trying to fight

think of the last time you did something awesome in front of someone, how did you act?

then answer

i just wonder about that, i'd like to believe i wouldn't be that way...but if you are in that situation for real, maybe things would be different

[lokillo89mdp1]

Aguante yngwie carajo siempre con sus temas lleno de magia locooooooooo

[MasterOfMetal16]

This song is Fucking Awsome!!!!

[Freyja1133]

I can play some of Yngve 's Material on the guitar ( well ,one song)

You don't remember ,I'll never forget ...

[Freyja1133]

Yngwie was very dreamy looking when he was younger.... But now he has the look of someone who has a temper problem.... he's become a mean viking

[851852093114208513]

Shit. I understood life there for a second...

[tranz2deep]

You know, there's a reason Gael Baudino's novel "Gossamer Axe" featured a bard out of time covering this song as proof of her skill when she embraced Rock as her weapon.

[thatplankguy]

26 dislikes are fags who suck bieber's tiny penis

[ColdAsIce3211]

I wish there was a version of this without drums on just classical guitar

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

Heard a million Yngwie clones, but none of them ever matched this guys tone and *flow*. That solo is pure sex.

[stradlin62]

anyway I would listen to "Black Star" for hours and hours..

[JerryFeng41]

most epic guitar harmony i've ever heard, i think so... *_*

[tokeepfearalive]

Love that one. Not speedy all the time and beautiful.

[amberjett420]

badass song to the 23 ppl who dislike you dont know what gr8 music is

[stradlin62]

@amberjett420 I agree with you, man!! Yngwie, Hendrix, Slash, Blackmore, Page are the best musicians in this and previous centuries..

[Redhotnirvanalover]

@stradlin62 dont 4get satch :)

[stradlin62]

@Redhotnirvanalover who's satch??

[TheSoxSorrow]

@stradlin62 Satriani, bro :D

[Freyja1133]

@stradlin62 Satrani 's nick name is " Satch"

[mitchellvanvliet]

@Freyja1133

And yngwie's nickname is..... yngwie. !

ROCK!

[jaagup117]

@stradlin62 slash is overrated

[stradlin62]

@jaagup117 I think that ppl like you who say Slash is overrated burst with envy. Everyone knows Slash is one of the greatest lead guitarists of the world. Slash's style is unique!!

[Dimerah]

@stradlin62 Slash is Not unique in any way, but has a very creative mind when it comes to writing good rock n roll.

[RRMI6ironmaiden]

@stradlin62 every heard of jimmy page or joe perry dipshit

[Dazzler59]

@stradlin62 dude i grew up in the 80,s slash suited guns very well and did some great stuff with them but even slash would call you a cunt for that remark.

[Satchfan96]

@stradlin62 no. just no. slash is just an average rocker. nothing original or impressive about him. i can name 25 guitarists off of the top of my head who are scores better than him.

[Thespeakerofmanytru8]

@Satchfan96 LOL Malmsteen hasn't got a welcome to the jungle or sweet child o mine in him, and that is where all these super players fall down, they have no taste or ability to write listenable music..

[Satchfan96]

@Thespeakerofmanytru8 yes, he does have greats. arpeggios from hell, trilogy suite opus 5, black star, evil eye, they just don't appeal to simple minded jackasses like you. go listen to smoke on the water in your mother's basement, asshole. you wouldn't know good guitar music if it fell out of the sky and hit you on the head.

[Thespeakerofmanytru8]

@Satchfan96 simple minded jackasses? LOL thinking this guys a great player because its cool to know obscure guitar theory so you can look down at everybody else doesn't mean you know anything about guitar. Malmsteen, Vai, Gilbert and Satriani are just a hangover from the 80's, you only have to listen to their cheesy backing tracks and super overdriven licks to hear that. Malmsteen is a bloated washed up old tasteless scale butcher.

[Satchfan96]

@Thespeakerofmanytru8 That comment was your undoing. It just shows how little you know about music, so i find it damn near impossible to take you seriously. Knowing a shitload of theory and having variety (which slash does not have) is far better than what slash is capable of. and no, they are not drunk hangovers from the 80's. They have actually recieved music degrees in college, wich slash does not have. (oh, thats right, he was smoking weed when he was young.)

[Satchfan96]

@Thespeakerofmanytru8 And i must say, "listenable" is realative. I find Malmsteen's pieces to be far more intelligent, and listenable than any of slash's rat shit. malmsteen was playing like this when slash was a teenager. and malmsteen and buckethead have just as much, if not more soul than slash does. so go to hell. you obviously know nothing about guitar. probably one of those ac dc fanfags.

[Thespeakerofmanytru8]

@Satchfan96 The fact you dis on people who you think like Slash or even AC/DC shows you to be the typical music snob shredder fan. These guys are left over from the 80's. Malmsteen plays pointlessly fast, the human brain doesn't give a shit about 25 notes per sec, listening to him is an exercise in concentration, instead of the music flowing and having you naturally go along with it, you begin to zone out and end up having to concentrate on his playing, It's this which makes him boring as hell.

[Satchfan96]

@Thespeakerofmanytru8 You're argument is getting weaker and weaker. i USED TO LIKE ac dc, guns n roses, and other bands like that, but when i got into malmsteen, i found him and buckethead much more interesting. do you like buckethead? his music is very diverse, and if you say differently, that just shows how ignorant you are. and there is music in malmsteen's shredding, and me and apparently thousands others love it. if you dont like it, get off this video, you prick.

[Georgeous129]

@Thespeakerofmanytru8 hmm, listening to Malmsteen is NOT an exercise in concentration, and the music DOES flow. now relax, and if you want to enjoy music (i know you won't enjoy this song cos you think everything a true guitar song writer does is utter shit), go back to those bands you DO like

[Thespeakerofmanytru8]

@Georgeous129 Yes it is, It's just one very long solo stuck against a cheesy backing track. But seriously "A true Guitar Song Writer" LOL there are better guitar players and songwriters out there than this bloated and tasteless fretboard masterbator,

[Georgeous129]

@Thespeakerofmanytru8 haha you should call your views Nitrous Oxide cos they crack me up! haha wow!

[Thespeakerofmanytru8]

@Georgeous129 They do say the truth is funnier than fiction, look at his coke bloat and laugh as he plays his self indulgent guitar athletics.

[xupaxup666hell]

This song is fantastic.. *w*

The best one *-*

[ShredderEric]

Black Star - Yngwie Malmsteen ---> Sex with the girl who you think is the hottest

[MrZazomy]

I'm a Yngwie hater but I got to admit... this is just epic...

[AngelusTristitias]

Mmm one of my alltime Yngwie tops..

[QuistTV]

classic Yngwie!! I've uploaded a video called Loopy Jammy using the violining technique he made famous in Echo Etude, would be great to hear what you think about it.. 

[thebraian2500]

I think yngwie malmsteen is the bethoven of guitar in our time

[ioannisdenton]

EPIC... even ynwie haters like it!!! those who do not like this song have NO soul!

[swampdonkey90210]

i dunno but the now 23 dislikes are either nazis or newborns who dont know better

[Gtrplayer77]

This album changed guitar forever.

[WEISsGEBeter]

People act like Yngwie got Shawn Lane fat for fuck sake, he's not that fat...

[Kraeezeu]

@WEISsGEBeter they got fat due to completely different reasons...shawn because of his sickness, yngwie because of food

[djziggurat]

@WEISsGEBeter

At least shawn was like that due to disease, yngwie got there by something he really has skill at, eating.

[Freyja1133]

@djziggurat Lay off! Yngwie also has aliqour problem..so when combines liqour,eating & sitting around....

What do you think the result will be?

Why do you jerks zero in on things like this,instead Yngwie's talent& his music?

[williezaraer]

@Freyja1133 

[Freyja1133]

@williezaraer why don't you say something?

[williezaraer]

@Freyja1133 xD oh sorry I accidentaly press the "Response" Button, jajaja but well nothing to say except that...this is wonderful

[Freyja1133]

@williezaraer It's ok... And how would one say I agree with you in German?

[williezaraer]

@Freyja1133 I have no idea

[Freyja1133]

@williezaraer It's ok  I was curious

[BELACSAMOHT]

@Freyja1133

Ich stimme. 

[lathandien]

yngwie got fat yo

[rocknotpop1990]

sorry all

i accidentally hit Dislike.. i realixed my crime... cut myself... and hit like for 5 minutes

[gnrcr]

@rocknotpop1990 I will now kill you and your entire family for being unfaithful to the Yngwie tribe we're all part off. Nah, just kidding ;), but I will.

[rocknotpop1990]

@gnrcr i did almost destroy my mouse when clicking like afterwards. :)

[TheConnord12]

i think his magnus opus album was excellent! this song is really good too.

[Suede1002]

MY FAVE Yngwie Malmsteen SONG....LOTTA GOOD MEMORIES MADE TO THIS SONG.......;-)

[Elvis2535]

omg !

[denouncechristianity]

Man, I've been listening to this since 1989 and I still can't get over the majesty contained herein. He's the best there is!

[loveprojectpat]

How tha ass do you say this guys name??? Ta Bloodclaaat I could never pronounce this...

[Traumafreak11]

@loveprojectpat Ing-Vay Malmsteen

[Zoso666]

The first song of the very first album, and still his best song

[advokatas1]

ive never heard so beutiful guitar solo

[eunsworth77]

@advokatas1 you have never heard kossoff play then?

[someweirdkid95]

Yngwie should make more songs like this. I mean of course most of his stuff is instrumental but this is probably one of his best songs and it's not his fastest. Im saying i love his other stuff, but this song is just beautiful, definately one of my favorite malmsteen songs.

[19BigWigglyStyle91]

@someweirdkid95  Making love with the extended solo is my favorite, i fucking love the 80's vibe haha

[someweirdkid95]

@19BigWigglyStyle91 haha yea he should make love to his guitar more often instead of giving it a simple hand job....that isnt simple for us "average" guitarists. lol

[Vikingo0530]

This is his best instrumental song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WOWfranco1]

no guitar no cry 

[guitarmaan]

This song and Marching Out are Yngwie's best and most awe inspiring tunes IMO,

Beautiful music and such passionate playing. Thank you for creating this emotional music and bringing it into the world for all who appreciate music to enjoy.and composers. Peace!

An inspiation to all guitar players

[jamo387]

Also have to give hats off to Barrie "Barriemore" Barlow, hands down the best drummer Yngwie Malmsteen has ever had. He really knew what to do with Yngwie's compositions and playing. Listen to the beat here and far beyond the sun amongst others from this record. Listen to the accents and cymbal work. Barlow really deserves a lot of credit for the groove and success of this album.

[jamo387]

Had this on vinyl and wore it out. Played it at least once a day for well over a year. Still my favorite guitar player. Haven't heard anyone that has moved the direction of music like this man did when he came on the scene.

[tetragramatonadr]

this video like the videos of music of vai, satriani, hendrix, evh, petrucci, batio, paul gilbert, eric, etc don't need the "dislike" option...

[dedde0303]

BRIVIDI

[kharlos84]

my favorite part 0:51 

[juan123493]

@kharlos84 My favorite part 0:00 - 4:54

[44SuperShredder]

Who are the 18 fucks who dislike this? I think the bar represents the size of their penis.

[MagnumBullets47]

@44SuperShredder Not necessarily.The msuic is good but the vid is kinda of.....boring.

[stradlin62]

@44SuperShredder nothing we can't face and destroy!! fuckin' Yngwie's haters

[NickF97S]

@44SuperShredder what penis..

[infectionsman]

@44SuperShredder now, you are being generous to them......

[BADSKP]

truly the hendrix star-spangled banner of the 80s except u dont have to be on acid to appricate it

[kukipolos]

great sound!

[RubensGuitarist]

The best ever !!!

[AGENTxx47]

I love the volume swells in this song makes me wanna spooge on my girlfriends face

[flattopkid83]

people are fken retardedd.

people always say that famous people are the opposite of their gender!

[morbidkiss91]

omg this was sex to my ears!!!! orgasmic ...

[03GuitarPlayer11]

Amazing.

[egerendeur]

I find this song the beautifullest song of Malmsteen cause it is his own pure classic

[UrielMaturano]

GODDAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rattlehead010]

The only song from Malmsteen I like. Sorry.

[PennybagDarrell]

that's so amazing that he wrote such an amazing song at the extremely young age of 14. i think i figured out why the swedes are such good guitarists. it because its always snowing there so they dont have any thing better to do.

[Hitman124304]

dude hes a guitar god the top 5 guitar players in my book are paul gilbert reb beach yngwie malmsteen george lynch and steve vai

[ionutthedog]

@Hitman124304 where's Jimmy Hendrix?

[ruffles272]

JIMI Hendrix dumbass.

[ionutthedog]

@ruffles272 i know sorry for my mistake.

[verbalhologram03]

this is the greatest thing i have ever heard in my life

my ear hole just got fucked

[perpetual61]

Actually he wrote it in 1977 when he was 14 not 17 when he had his Band Powerhouse. Check out the " Demo"  that someone has posted.

[ChrisitanBeRippin]

Holy shit

[chingonote]

Al Di Meola  was playing similar great music in the late 70s.

[Rockunstank]

the greatest guitar insrtumental of all time...

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

@Rockunstank There are some very fine other guitar instrumentals out there, but still, I have to agree.

Yngvie is such a gem. As is this particular recording.

[abudalim]

Ynfwie - U are not a human! U was bor for another planet where the creatures live only for this music, this is not a music this is a way of life! Thank God that U are on my planet and I can listen to your music! U are what I will awlays want to be - the best musician in the whole world!

[Aaronkercheval]

anyway who says malmsteen dioesnt have soul. Listen to this song. If this doesnt have soul then you can go watch steve vai pull faces whilst playing and call it soul.

[AZNman11111]

@Aaronkercheval dont knock steve vai man he plays with more emotion than most guitarists can dream of playing with

[Fluffypopcicle]

@AZNman11111

maybe more emotion, but not melody. steve vai ruins his songs by over using his tremolo and bending things out of tune. he is a great composer, but not a great player.

[LiamKalyan]

Totally awesome, I can't wait till I'm that good

[sabbfan24]

absolute masterpiece. How do u get that fuckin good ?

[69biatchslap]

17?!!

holy shiteballs

[NastyGreaser]

that´s old barrie barlow on drums, right?

[Corkster2112]

@NastyGreaser I believe it is. I think he's probably the most underrated drummer ever. The stuff he did with Jethro Tull is amazing.

[highique]

a legend who is now fat...nevertheless...he is always my no 1 guitar hero...i would love to meet him but I'm afraid I might be disappointed with his arrogant attitude(that's what I heard) ..so I'll just keep enjoying his music ..

[TheJuanisimo]

I wait a whole life for play same malmsteen and i can't compare with him

[kiwisdatsoar]

hes well known for his boisterous attitude! or the way he comes off to people, but having said that , he does alot of covers of people he gets into ! man i tell ya , he compliments them with a passion ..to the rest ??? oh well , better fine tune your fucking skills before putting some bullshit out there ....

[lethalburst]

Yeah, Yngwie is a great guitarist, but he is a bit of a self-absorbed douche.

[matineesuxxx]

@lethalburst meh hes alloud to be

[tvrulesnation]

@matineesuxxx

Not really, (Yngwie is allowed e a douche)

You look at the likes of Rory Gallahger or John Frusciante, both exceptionally talented guitarists (blues & RHCP/experimental guitarist) and so down to earth yet in their own rights are on the same ''level'' as Yngwie.

Being a dick is cause of an inflated ego thinking your're better than others, look at Prodigy/Maxi Jazz/Tiesto 3 huge dance acts & are just normal people who enjoy doing what they do.

[joeybbbbbz]
