there's also footage of him on youtube doing a purple haze tribute and he even burns his guitar. malmsteen was pretty cool when he was young and thin. He just doesn't have the stage presence he once had, and part of it is because he's fat.
lol...fun footage....he breaks the guitar that was working just fine then he's shit out of luck with the other one. he played it off well but bet he was pissed
@megadethzeppelin That's because Swedish kids learn English fairly early and Swedish, like all North Germanic languages, lends itself to speaking relatively accent free English quickly.
Well, how could he not listen to other guitarists even though he's done covers of Jimi Hendrix songs, and he's obviously influenced by Uli Jon Roth and Ritchie Blackmore? Oh yeah, you shouldn't question Yngwie Malmsteen cause he's an absolute beast.
@segitary THANK YOU for saying that i dont get this guy WHY does he NOT give Ritchie his due????is it fuckin ego???i guess.....hell EVERYBODY can see and hear that he has riped off Blackmore down too his underwear....i have seen so many intyerviews and he NEVER mentions Blackmore....i dont get it....
Haha! Always love seeing the reaction of people when guitars get smashed...get over it people, it's wood, metal and plastic and on top of that, it's a strat, a friggin bolt on that back in the day was a cheap atlernative to Gibsons, Gretsch's and the like. Just because some people here would like to have it (myself included) doesn't make it any more holy. I mean, why not destroy it? Any guitar worthy of being destroyed is good enough for rock and roll and that's as it should be.
@cmargerison1 lol.. I don't know about calling him a cunt, though passion in the moment makes one do stupid things, I DO however agree that destroying an instrument, especially a perfectly good working one IS disrespectful to both it and the one who crafted it. I HAVE to BUY my OWN, I don't get'em for free like these guys, so I agree with you on the penniless child admiring something he can't have. Cheers bud.
I ordered this "Metallic Live 1984" DVD some week ago, I can´t wait to see all the show in great quality and all backstage material. I guess this is from the DVD, right?
This was when he had tone to die for - transparent, violin-like, really clean. We ought to remember him for this...and the killer vibrato...who cares if he's gone down the tubes? He could play like this...
the most boring musician's job ever?? backing up yngwie, and playing all those boring vamps. i think you could have reduced the band to a guy hitting a can with a stick between yngwie's widdley widdley guitar.
as much as i love yngwie..i haven´t seen young malmsteen videos for like 2 months...just the new 2010 videos...and when i come back to this video..i can´t believe that this Malmsteen we got since 1993...from a clean fast playing skinny boy to a less clean faster piggy...i still love him...he is our piggy.
i think he cured his guitar smashing addiction with donuts... and thats such a waste of money... btw he should gimme that lefty strat, lefties need em :D
That's about the most retarded thing I think I've heard anyone say about Yngwie. Yngwie's playing and technique is way more developed than Schenker's in every way shape or form. Most of Schenker's playing is pentatonic and legato with very little natural minor (aeolian mode) thrown in.
@PontyAl if there is one guitarist who influenced malmsteen and you could remotely hear the influence in his playing it would be either brian may or uli jon roth, and i cant hear a fucking shchenker ifluence in yngwie at all- you are probably bitter cause schenker fucked his career by becoming a drunk- he could have been a star, but after UFO he didint do shit YNGWIE RULEZ
1:48 hahaha damn ...yngwie is so deep into the occult....he is giving the masonic sign 666 before he enters the stage...i seen lots of occult symbolism in his album covers...i wonder is satan really helps in guitar playin:D
recently steve vai is using this occult symbolism as well...
People keep saying about jason becker. Man.. jason was amzing .. but doesn't even compare to the awesomeness and cleanliness yngwie had at just 21 years ...21.. years old man. Let's say the skill .. okay. There are some dudes at 21 that can play very well.. but to write such things ? To create such masterpieces.. ? It's incredible.. absolutely incredible.
4:00 to 4:30..i beleive that´s all improvised in the moment, nobody shreds with such taste and ferocity like yngwie. That strat tone also helps. anyone that uses a start to shred, it´s because yngwie did it.
The main pedal he uses is an old discontinued DOD overdrive pedal. If you want a really similar pedal, they basically remade it with his DOD YJM-308 signature overdrive, however it has also been discontinued, but you can still find it if you look hard. If you use a strat, that pedal, and a British voiced amp, you should be able to get very close to his sound. I use the YJM strat, YJM pedal, and a Carvin Legacy amp, and the tone is amazing, and also pretty similar to his.
On August 2009 Time Magazine Named Yngwie #9 On Its List Of 10. Best Electric Guitar Players Of All Time.Congratulations To The Neo-Classical King. Keep On Rocking Forever !!
I didn't think so but peope were taking it that way. He was undoubtedly infuenced by Blackmore probably more than he woud admit. He wasn't the first guy to wear all back with white boots and pay a white Strat with a scalloped neck to be sure. ; P
Totally. But that's alright because he picked it up from Blackmore and took it a little farther. He was totally influenced by him and I think Yngwie would tell you the same.
Everyone has influences. It's a problem if you decide to just copy them and not add anything to it. Yngwie definitely added to what he got from Blackmore....
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.
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.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Yngwie fan but he got the rep of being an asshole 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.
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 asshole 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.
Actually he got the rep of being an asshole 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....
I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but you're saying he's an asshole 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 asshole? No. And the EVH thing, Malmsteen probably said that because he was insecure, he loves EVH, has said so in interviews.
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 asshole because of the stage, and coke. You know, how you need to put on a big act when on.
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, shit! lol.
I would agree with that a 100% about taking that attitude off stage as well as the substance abuse. I was shocked as hell 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.
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.
and i bet you would now how to act on tv..when you are 21 and god like?..and if you really think about it..what is it that he done so wrong???that he is arrogant?or he don´t like other guitar players?..the guy only answered stupid questions asked by the reporters..there is a interview on google with blackmoore saying hendrix was not a good player..true..and talking about others tones and their sucky playing..but no one here seems to bash blackmoore for being retarded dick face? how come?
this song is such a great and fun song to play..man.. i played for my school battle of band and i messed up some parts but it was still crazy fun and amazing...

Well i guess i found the reason why they think yngwie is all full of himself... This interview kinda points to that ...

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 asshole 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.

Actually he got the rep of being an asshole 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....

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but you're saying he's an asshole 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 asshole? No. And the EVH thing, Malmsteen probably said that because he was insecure, he loves EVH, has said so in interviews.

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 asshole because of the stage, and coke. You know, how you need to put on a big act when on.
HighZombiesRule 2 years ago
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, shit! lol.

I would agree with that a 100% about taking that attitude off stage as well as the substance abuse. I was shocked as hell 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.
michaels2boys 2 years ago 2
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.

Damn he was so awesome! He was paid to say he liked Aria V's. He would have nothing to do with them now.

-"do you practise?"
-"sometimes..."
roflmao! well,I think he only practises when he has a new song and he has to remember it by heart... I don't think yngwie needs practise...

petar870602 2 years ago 2
All the more reason to destroy a 6000$ guitar every once in a while (say 3 times a night during the show).
Interviewer: Who influences you the most?
Yngwie: Johan Sebastian... Bach... Great guitarist.
