how come rip off ... if you think like this .you must think ULI and Ritche are rip offs from bach paganini vivaldi.......its not like this.... influence is the right word for this cases.thei're 3 genious guitarrists...ritchie not so much
that guitar actualy is from 1948 and is one of the ten first stratocasters made...its still original acording to yngwie he didnt change anything on it :)
With all this talk about Uli & Yngwie, I think we're forgetting that it wasn't simply Uli, but the whole Scorpions band. I don't know the original folk song so I can't make comparisons, but I know that the melody is obviously the same. I personally prefer the Scorps' version because it included the whole band with first the vocals only and then everone else joining in. The crowd singing along in the beginning gave it a totally different vibe too. Nothing wrong with loving them BOTH! :)
Haha video poster your a RETARD. Have you ever heard of doing a COVER? When your jammin on stage you dont have to give credit to the original creator of what your playing.
@jonyknox actually this is not a cover of uli roth's. it is playing a famoes japanese folk song to the japanese. scorpions did the same song. although very differently.
rip off? no way. it is very wrong of the poster to call it that.
I'm not a homosexual nor do I have any queer capacity; but, I would get a slight hard-on everytime I watch Yngwie plays. Can some one please offer me some mental health, PLEASE?!!!
lets face it, you call him a rip off.. i call him one of the best guitarists out there. I mean if he ripped someone off then they should be embarrassed that yngwie passed them up. I personaly feel that he is among the best, even though i think paul gilbert is up there as well..that is a different story in a different comment . :)
YNGWIE begins in 1984, and is live broadcasting of Alcatrazz in Tokyo where they visited Japan, isn't it? Guitar kids all Japan were the captive of the wonderful guitar technique which is he surely who also lost the lead to the DO liver... then. I play the guitar, too, but I pay my respects to him who underwent influence most even now. Thank you very much, YNGWIE... You're the hero who is for me forever.
Give the guy a break man. He didn't rip off ANYBODY. It's a famous JAPANESE folk song and he's playing it for THEM! He didn't play it when he played elsewhere. That's like saying all the guitar players who played "Star Bangled Banner" ripped off Hendrix. Also, Yngwie also mentioned Uli Jon Roth as one of his favorite guitar players too. I know he invites criticism because of his attitude sometimes, but that doesn't mean everything he does is open to question.
yea i totally agree with TommyLent. He only play it at this concert only, not else where. This is i believe the only video in youtube that he made this cover.
SORRY,ITS NOT THE SAME ,CANT COMPARE AN ANTHEN WITH A POPULAR SONG.THE ANTHEN IS A SIMBOL OF THE IDENTITY OF A NATION.SO IS SOMETHING MUCH MORE OBVIOUS TO PLAY.KOJO NO TSUKI EVEN BEEN A POPULAR SONG IN JAPAN,THE SCORPS CHOOSE THIS ONE AS A WAY TO SALUTE THE CROWD.AND MAINLY THE Y.M ARRANGEMENT ITS EXACTLY THE SAME,AS ULI'S.THE ORIGINAL KOJO NO TSUKI SOUNDS VERY DIFERENT THAN ULI'S VERSION.WE REALLY CANT SAY Y.M.. RIPP OFF ULI,CAUSE THE SONG ITS NOT HIS.BUTHE RIPPED OF THE ARRANGEMENT FOR SURE
I don't think it's fair to call Yngwie an Uli Roth rip off just because he played Kojo No Tsuki for 1 minute in Japan. Yes, he admits Blackmore as a huge influence. But it's Yngwie's own talent and hard work that made him the artist he is. Uli Roth and Blackmore didn't write 12+ studio albums for him.
great footage man thanks! Yngwie will always be my favortie artist period. Even when his material isnt as good such as perpetual flame. I hope that ripper moves on with that solo album and Yngwie goes back to one of his oldies like turner or soto.
Malmsteen did get influenced by Blackmore and Uli Jon Roth
but I wouldn't call it a ripp off,he took it far beyond .Even Bach got influenced and made transcripts by Vivaldi and Beethoven by Motzart ,and the Beatles by Chuck Berry and Lennon by Donovan etc.
A real ripp off? I just heard is this song in the radio that sounds just like "with or without you "by U2 ,to bad I can't remember the band,does anybody know? well that's a ripp off lol
Malmsteen isn't Roth, Blackmore, or anyone else. Like him or not, Malmsteen created an entire genre of Metal. Despite how good Roth and Blackmore are, how many guitarist claim them as influences? Look all over Youtube. How many Neo-Classical Players do you see? How many Roth and Blackmore inspired players do you see?
There are tons. Schenker, Roth and Blackmore started in rock "bands". Yngwie is not a "band". While a great guitar player he often lacks depth in his inability to create chemistry with other band members. Schenker, Roth and Blackmore were in great bands. Hard rock bands. Big difference. Yngwie was a huge fan of those guys because he knew how good they were. They wrote great songs. And collectively a band that has brilliant musicians at all levels is better than 1 guy. He don't know when to stop.
if you don`t know blackmore and schenker has troubles with many of the former members of their bands...for example the Rainbow formation changes ...dio, bonnet, lynn turner ,the drummers, keyboard players etc and you can`t forget his continuos fights against Gillan in purple...please think about all that before make a comment like this..and of course...Yngwie is the king
im so tired of all whom constantly say he's trying to be like blackmore or uli jon roth leave the guy alone he's in a world all his own and has done alot to prove it !!!
Yngwie's biggest influences were Paganini and Hendrix. This is no secret, but something he has admitted in interviews. When he was eight, he saw Hendrix on TV and wanted to be like him - that's when he started to play the guitar. Then he learned about Paganini and wanted to be on guitar what Paganini was on violin.
Actully more in depth. Ynwgie saw a tv special on jimi hendrix the day he died. There was no audio no sound. All it showed was a clip of him burning his guitar. Yngwie took the guitar off his wall that day cause he figured you have to know how to play it before you can burn it. That was on his 7th birthday. Then on his 8th he dot deep purple fireball, which became his bible. He mortalized blackmore long in his days in Alcatrazz and even songs like jet to jet.
He took from blackmore his attitude and dark stage attire and his bluesyness, he tooke from jimi his stage presence more than anything else and his carisma. When he was 11 or 12 he saw another thing on swedish tv that changed his life. This was Niccolo Paganini. He almost everything he knows about soloing and interludes from paganini/ His virtuosity and attire and stage demenour. Backing up still in his younger years and especially in his harmony and counterpoint Bach. This song isf or Japan
Thanks for clarifying. Yes, of course Blackmore and Bach were great influences too as well as Vivaldi (it's no coincidence that Yngwies son is named Antonio Johann). However, he emphasises Hendrix and Paganini much more. Blackmore and Bach influenced Yngwie's music but Hendrix and Paganini were the reasons he played at all.
I saw another interview with Yngwie where he described meeting Blackmore and shaking his hand. Very interesting.
why is it when people do covers of songs people start slaying the artist and say they ow there lives to them. gilbert did a million covers from satch ,the beatles and shawn lane played eric johnson stuff.
everyone listens to music they like and play it allot or learn how to play it so all this"he own his life to.......such and such needs to stop!!!

malmsteen rocks and owns evryone fuck bucket of shit fuckedhead fuck him he sucks major ass the only reason he is known is because of a faggot game called fagar hero 2
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he made a choise to play a slow song didn´t. he? that was my point ...and yes you can play it fast if you want to...as he does with other classical stuff like ...bach when he plays live where he add like 1000 notes extra for the effect or to show off ....
quote "I guarantee you that Malmsteen has taken quite a few pages from Uli Jon Roth's book. Malmsteen may have wanted to be Ritchie Blackmore, but his playing suggests that he borrowed alot more from Roth.
" this is exactly what my friends said bak in 1983...uli jon influence more than ritchie .. And definitely some msg influence...but uli was the first guy i ever heard that weeping technique....awesome playing ..
Yngwie was influenced by the two of the greatest guitarist around and both played for Scorpions they are Michael Schenker and Uli Roth...Yes Yngwie plays both guys music about time =Malmsteen pay homage to both of them.

ripping of isn't the correct description. every musician that states he is without influences lies. someone got to be first. naturally it is allowed to be second. there is no reason not to learn from others.
Ja, helt enig..! (Skjønner ikke hvorfor folk svarer på et helt annet språk enn hva den orginale potsen er på.. faen, jævla spanjoler eller hva faen dere er..)
I bet someone in the late 60's early 70's said that about Blackmore until Roth showed up,then said the same thing about Rhoads till Yngwie showed up, then said the same thing until Becker,Gilbert,Howe showed up.
And then there's Stanley Jordan who is his own realm. In other words, guitar keeps progressing off the greats. There is no last step.
And you thing I do not know that? Of course thats respect. All I'm trying to say is: everybody including Yngwie himself keep saying that Blackmore was main and biggest influence on Yngwie. I think Uli was much more to his style than Ritchie...
@MattVasylevsky maybe malsteen knows what his biggest influence is. btw, this video is no evidence that he's influenced by uli roth. however he says he is. as big as blackmore? probably not.
@MattVasylevsky I agree with matt 100% if you listen to Uli's full catalogue and compare it with Yngwie's early stuff there is a really big difference. Also to Tony: When Hendrix did all along the watchtower it was nothing like bob dylans...the same with stevie ray vaughn's cover of little wing...I haven't heard Paul do that one so I got nothing there lol :P either way he was infuenced he was best in the beginning of his career...IMO
I have seen this video for a long time, and try very hard to find the name of this song (I know it is a Japanese traditional song already). Finally I find the answer in youtube, thx.
For the record, Scorpions were not the first people to perform Kojo No Tsuki. One notable recording was by Thelonious Monk on his Straight No Chaser album. So, was Uli ripping off Monk?
i think that fast guitar players cant play with swing when they play fast , but that doesn´t mean thay have no swing thats bullshit , i saw yngwie playing blues like any bluesman even beter, english it´s not my first lenguage
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You can always rely on Malm-shit to ruin any piece of music; he has no feel for an introspective Japanese folk song like this; HORRIBLE. Kojo No Tski played like a brat screaming and crying; Look at me, Look at me! The death of Culture in Steel Boots.
Rexicano I agree with you. I detest this "all technique-no soul" garbage. These guitar youngsters are so distracted by all the glitz and glam. I swear, this guy plays so sterile. Where is the music? Where is the melody? All I see is ego.
I think there is feel in Yngwie's music, speed shouldnt determine whether or not something is depicting feeling. As for this song, I've never heard it, but it seems like there's too much vibrato.
Heh, I understand what you mean, ColoradoBansuri, but you're deaf if you can't hear the melody :) Malmsteen's songs have lots of it. 80's was all about melody. Don't be too narrow minded.
Hmm, wonder if there's Uli Roth's version of this song in YouTube. He played it in Tokyo Tapes LP around 1978 if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't instrumental either.
You see this is the problem I have with hardcore music buffs like you. You're so focused on your little objectives that you miss the lil gems in pieces of music like this. Yngwie can definatley play with "soul". Just listen to some of his acoustic/electric guitar compositions like Guardian Angel from his last record. Oh and by the way a souless shredder wouldn't let the notes ring.
Are you listening to that wide, dramatic voilin-like vibrato? I hear so much passion in his playing. When I think of too mechanical, I think of Herman Li or Michael Angelo.
Oh, look, you are trying to offend me. Isn't that just adorable. I am not allowed to have my opinion? What, are you some sort of Communist? You think you can shut me up? All you are doing is inviting me back here everytime you hit the "reply" button. I was already gone and not interested in comming back here. So, who is so brainless dear hippo? Hmmm? Yngwie still is a souless masterbator and you are still a blithering idiot.
You are entitled to an opinion when it comes to something like personal taste. You can dislike YJM, np. However, some things are not to be called 'opinion'. Malmsteen has 'soul' in his music. This can not be debated. You can't possibly think that a man who has spent thousands of hours training up his technique and theory, feels nothing when playing?
Furthermore, anyone who wites 'coming' wrong shouldn't try and convince others he's not an idiot...
You say I can have an opinion but that I can't because the soul or lack thereof can not be debated.
You are constantly trying to offend me with personal attacks. I give you credit for at least being consistent in your efforts to find errors no matter how trivial.
My deepest apologies for degrading the structure of western civilization with my err.
Please find it in your heart to forgive me for my disgraceful use of spelling.
you misunderstood about the two winds. Yes you have the right to not like yjm or anyone else. But only so far as 'i don't like the style'. To say it lacks emotion, or that he lacks passion in his playing is erronous.
Compare it to orange juice. You can have an opinion on the taste, not the color.
perhaps you didn't understand the part about not replying. If you reply, I come back... wow, is there something difficult about that? do I need to spell it for you? Moron.
this is the second post in this part of the topic that you chose not to respond to my last stated argument. Which would indicate that you are out of arguments and therefore defeated, in relative terms.
Oh please, you have no debate, in fact, your pap is only fodder for fools. I will, in fact, re-state, if you don't want me to respond, why do you keep hitting the "reply" link. You slack-jawed HAHAHAHAHAA "waggish poof"
Wow! you really do subscribe to cutiemish!! what a child gawking pervert.
btw, you've given me enough time? Like you are some sort of bill collector? Who the holy fuck do you think you are? Your just another thin-skinned sallow wanker. We`re all very bored with your whining. Which we all know, only brits are best at.
people confuse classical music as having no soul. Its different than blues. different animal.
Malmsteen may play in the classical pocket a bit too long which can het boring but he does have one of the best vibrato which equals to dead on feel which is a representative of soul...only more mathematical in a sense because thats what classical is. Not abstract and not really 'improv' as in what ever goes which you can do in other styles. It has stricter rules to follow. get my drift?
Comparing Yngwie to Hooker is like comparing Steve Martin to Bruce Lee; they don't do the same thing... so why compare? If you want to hear blues, then you don't go to Malmsteen. If you want to hear speedy playing with a touch of classicism, go to Yng or early MacAlpine or certain Uli tunes, etc. Sure, I like Ben Stiller, but he doesn't have Oprah's boobs! Does that make sense? For the record, I love John Lee Hooker, & disagree with the mechanical remark.
His playing with David Lee Roth was pretty cool. But every time I heard him shred, he sounds like a machine. He is faster than Yngwie but doesn't have his fluidity and grace.
Yngwie was to speed metal what Nirvana was to grunge. He was the first and he was the best. I remember sitting around with friends listening to a track off of Rising Force and our jaws dropped. Amazing...all the others that followed were doing imitations of the master.
Uli version is thousand times better than this crap version....Malmsteen is the most fast guitarist in the world, it's a pity that he play without heart and emotions...,
is absurd compare the great Uli with this (only thecnical) guitarist !!
dude Jason Becker is an all around better guitarist than yngwie but if ur lookin for fast then check out Michael Angelo Batio.... but if ur looking for technical then check out John Petrucci.
Hey I just noticed young Yngwie looks like Sid Vicious...

everyone listens to music they like and play it allot or learn how to play it so all this"he own his life to.......such and such needs to stop!!!

he made a choise to play a slow song didn´t. he? that was my point ...and yes you can play it fast if you want to...as he does with other classical stuff like ...bach when he plays live where he add like 1000 notes extra for the effect or to show off ....

quote "I guarantee you that Malmsteen has taken quite a few pages from Uli Jon Roth's book. Malmsteen may have wanted to be Ritchie Blackmore, but his playing suggests that he borrowed alot more from Roth.
" this is exactly what my friends said bak in 1983...uli jon influence more than ritchie .. And definitely some msg influence...but uli was the first guy i ever heard that weeping technique....awesome playing ..

Yngwie was influenced by the two of the greatest guitarist around and both played for Scorpions they are Michael Schenker and Uli Roth...Yes Yngwie plays both guys music about time =Malmsteen pay homage to both of them.

No, his biggest influences were Richie Blackmore, and Hendrix and classical violin. maybe these as well but its highly unlikely.

I bet someone in the late 60's early 70's said that about Blackmore until Roth showed up,then said the same thing about Rhoads till Yngwie showed up, then said the same thing until Becker,Gilbert,Howe showed up.
And then there's Stanley Jordan who is his own realm. In other words, guitar keeps progressing off the greats. There is no last step.

It's not a "rip-off". Did Hendrix rip-off Bob Dylan with "All Along The Watchtower"?
Did Stevie Ray Vaughn rip-off Hendrix with "Little Wing"? Is Paul Gilbert ripping-off Ynwie with "I'll See The Light Tonight"? It's called respect.
Tonyguitarist7 3 years ago 8
And you thing I do not know that? Of course thats respect. All I'm trying to say is: everybody including Yngwie himself keep saying that Blackmore was main and biggest influence on Yngwie. I think Uli was much more to his style than Ritchie...
MattVasylevsky 3 years ago
@MattVasylevsky maybe malsteen knows what his biggest influence is. btw, this video is no evidence that he's influenced by uli roth. however he says he is. as big as blackmore? probably not.
brownbigb 1 year ago
@MattVasylevsky I agree with matt 100% if you listen to Uli's full catalogue and compare it with Yngwie's early stuff there is a really big difference. Also to Tony: When Hendrix did all along the watchtower it was nothing like bob dylans...the same with stevie ray vaughn's cover of little wing...I haven't heard Paul do that one so I got nothing there lol :P either way he was infuenced he was best in the beginning of his career...IMO

You can always rely on Malm-shit to ruin any piece of music; he has no feel for an introspective Japanese folk song like this; HORRIBLE. Kojo No Tski played like a brat screaming and crying; Look at me, Look at me! The death of Culture in Steel Boots.

Rexicano I agree with you. I detest this "all technique-no soul" garbage. These guitar youngsters are so distracted by all the glitz and glam. I swear, this guy plays so sterile. Where is the music? Where is the melody? All I see is ego.
ColoradoBansuri 4 years ago
I think there is feel in Yngwie's music, speed shouldnt determine whether or not something is depicting feeling. As for this song, I've never heard it, but it seems like there's too much vibrato.
ShipsAreBurned 4 years ago
Heh, I understand what you mean, ColoradoBansuri, but you're deaf if you can't hear the melody :) Malmsteen's songs have lots of it. 80's was all about melody. Don't be too narrow minded.
Hmm, wonder if there's Uli Roth's version of this song in YouTube. He played it in Tokyo Tapes LP around 1978 if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't instrumental either.
Metallian 3 years ago
You see this is the problem I have with hardcore music buffs like you. You're so focused on your little objectives that you miss the lil gems in pieces of music like this. Yngwie can definatley play with "soul". Just listen to some of his acoustic/electric guitar compositions like Guardian Angel from his last record. Oh and by the way a souless shredder wouldn't let the notes ring.
KevmanX999 3 years ago 2
A shredder without soul also wouldnt have Yngwie's exquisite baroque style vibrato!
I'm speechless when people say Yngwie has no feeling.

He doesn't have any feeling, too mechanical. It seems as though he needs to relearn by someone like John Lee Hooker. Malmsteen is way over praised.
ponyboy1129 3 years ago
Are you listening to that wide, dramatic voilin-like vibrato? I hear so much passion in his playing. When I think of too mechanical, I think of Herman Li or Michael Angelo.

anyone can add tons of vibrato, if the guy has no soul, it shows in his music.

Yngwie still is a souless masterbator and you are still a blithering idiot.
darkjuju2006 3 years ago
You are entitled to an opinion when it comes to something like personal taste. You can dislike YJM, np. However, some things are not to be called 'opinion'. Malmsteen has 'soul' in his music. This can not be debated. You can't possibly think that a man who has spent thousands of hours training up his technique and theory, feels nothing when playing?
Furthermore, anyone who wites 'coming' wrong shouldn't try and convince others he's not an idiot...
hippolyth 3 years ago
Your hot winds blow out both sides of your mouth.
You say I can have an opinion but that I can't because the soul or lack thereof can not be debated.
You are constantly trying to offend me with personal attacks. I give you credit for at least being consistent in your efforts to find errors no matter how trivial.
My deepest apologies for degrading the structure of western civilization with my err.
Please find it in your heart to forgive me for my disgraceful use of spelling.
ponyboy1129 3 years ago
But, my point stands. It is my opinion and I like and enjoy many talented guitarists. Malmsteen is not one of them.
Thank you for your time. Have piece in your heart and try to forgive instead of fighting for a useless cause.
ponyboy1129 3 years ago
you misunderstood about the two winds. Yes you have the right to not like yjm or anyone else. But only so far as 'i don't like the style'. To say it lacks emotion, or that he lacks passion in his playing is erronous.
Compare it to orange juice. You can have an opinion on the taste, not the color.

ponyboy1129 3 years ago
people confuse classical music as having no soul. Its different than blues. different animal.
Malmsteen may play in the classical pocket a bit too long which can het boring but he does have one of the best vibrato which equals to dead on feel which is a representative of soul...only more mathematical in a sense because thats what classical is. Not abstract and not really 'improv' as in what ever goes which you can do in other styles. It has stricter rules to follow. get my drift?
Devilbat 3 years ago
Comparing Yngwie to Hooker is like comparing Steve Martin to Bruce Lee; they don't do the same thing... so why compare? If you want to hear blues, then you don't go to Malmsteen. If you want to hear speedy playing with a touch of classicism, go to Yng or early MacAlpine or certain Uli tunes, etc. Sure, I like Ben Stiller, but he doesn't have Oprah's boobs! Does that make sense? For the record, I love John Lee Hooker, & disagree with the mechanical remark.
