  • nothing is better than black star...yngwie rules!

  • ......Yngwie is guitar GOD !!!

  • Romeo is as fast as Malmsteen is but Romeo has more tecniques and all his songs are excellent, Malmsteen never changed his style and there was a time when he was the best but he never try to improve.. Romeo did it and i think that malmsteen music nowadays is not competicion with the Romeo's songs..

  • i would have to say as far as technique is concerned... sorry yngwie.... michael has ya beat.

    now how did i discover michael... lol through yngwie..... i would have to say michael has technique.

    speed would go to yngwie but that is a very hard thing for me to say

    Michael is more fun to listen to unless im listenin to yngwie play blues, thats fun too

    Michael ftw

  • Romeo eats malmsteen for breakfast !

  • hmmmmmm malmsteen vs malmsteen, hard choice

  • yngwie writres better songs.

  • @heavyrules6699 No he doesn't.

  • These two are extremely hard to compare, i can honestly say I that i am unsure as to who is a better guitarist/musician/songwriter. Bother are just incredible. Malmsteen has a style and a precise sound that i've never heard anyone really replicate with his controlled vibrato. his songs are ingeniously written with many modes and scales. Romeo... however does much the same thing. I honestly can't decide between the two. They're both great, two of my favourites of all time. Its a draw imho

  • Both are better than the other o.0

  • i think romeo is the best guitar player in the world

  • Romeo is better!!

  • JASON BECKER IS THE GOD ALL, YNGWIE IS HIS FATHER. ROMEO IS JUST BETTER THAN JOHN PETRUCCI.

  • Both are Gods

  • I think you forgot to put the best part on sea of lies. Hands down heard of Malmsteen first, shit more shred for my ears having both great guitar players.

  • michael romeo ofcourse inspired by yngwie,...so don't comparing both of them such compare between Yngwie and ritchie blackmore

  • Fuck you ! Yngwie is best forever !

  • YNGWIE GUITAR GOD !

  • why to compare?? betwenn guitar gods!!!!!

  • Yngwie gets boring in one point Michael Romeo just demonstrates he is a genius in composition. Yngwie is just a little faster.

  • They both poses super natural skills in guitar playing, but i like more about Malmsteens music.

  • damn its the same things just one got lyrics and one didnt ..XD

  • I say yngwie because he inovated the shred guitar genre.

  • MrThemike444 Who asked you? This video is about Yngwie. Stupid intrusive!!

  • @Voitcu my thoughts exactly, id love to see hendrix do what guitarists do these days.

  • I think theyre both awesome

  • Yngwie Malmsteen is God!!

  • @lamaquinadeltiempo1 God is Jimmi hendrix :)

  • what does it even matter. 'bout 2 min. of that "flight of the bumble bee" type shit and it's time to put on some Priest or Iced Earth!

  • Both of the them are fucking genious.... and metal gods. Period.

  • the difernce is yngwie is an inovator,the other guy is just a copy of yngwie,it all sounds like an angry bee after a while,lol

  • they are pretty much of the same, I love Yngwie, i particularly love his album with the japan philharmonic orchestra, but I must say I prefer Michael Romeo because he doesn't sound repetitive to me by the moment, though I guess they play each others music quite well and easy, same techniques and same classical structures in their music though Romeo's sound a little bit darker! The also look a like but Michael is fatter! I would like to do the sweep picking 10 times worst than what they do!

  • Randy had the best style.

  • all you romeo fan boys are overlooking the fact that yngwie has released over 16 solo albums and has been playing solo for over 25 years as apposed to romeos debut since '94 and only 8 albums which were co-written. after 16+ albums, YOURE GOING TO START SOUNDING THE SAME DUMBASSES. michael romeo isnt even at the half point of reaching yngwie milestone wise, and he is ALREADY starting to sound the same!!! iconoclast is no different than paradise lost! the same tapping licks over and over!!

  • what was that punk crap at the end of the video ? It just doesn't belong here.

    

  • fuck everybody, romeo is better!!!

  • i think malmsteen is fatter! :P

  • Michael Romeo is basically Yngwie Malmsteen if you turned the douchebag knob down

  • @goodygoody23 True. The same can be said for Joe Stump

  • nori fumi shima beats both with the fact he has no ego. Impeliterri is good too.

  • Romeo on the account that his career isn't based off of 5 licks

  • both are amazing!

  • Michael Rome WIN'S

  • It's like, malmsteen is kind of the 'inventor' of that style, which romeo had improved in a lot of ways. both are amazing, because they're both really fast but still really melodic. a lot guitar players are fast, but they can't write for shit. *uhm kirk hammet!!!!!!!*

  • michael romeo or jason becker????

  • While were on the subject of guitar gods, check out Guthrie Govan And Marco Sfogli F.ex, i like to focus on the "less" known players and hopefully open up some eyes!

  • @HastOsth GUTHRIE!!! oh and don't forget Tosin Abasi.

  • without yngwie there would be no michael romeo.

    saying that, michael romeo has completely surpassed yngwie in every way. Both Awesome but not only has Romeo done what Malmsteem has done alot better, but alot more int erms of technicality, musicality, unconventionality and creativity.

  • Bullshit. you broken record cliche brainwashed robot (have any original thoughts?) Rhoads did it before Yngwie and Blackmore before Rhoads. and know what ? if they didn't there would still be a Michael Romeo. And even suposing there wouldn't i would still be doing it. The only difference is the luck of being born first. People dont think, when hendrix was god, what was the competition? Pete Townsend? Please.

  • @Voitcu

    sorry dude, but rhoads and blackmoore didn't do what yngwie did before him. they had classical influence, but they didn't carry it it into their electric guitar playing anywhere near as much as yngwie did. you're right though. it's all about evolution.

  • michael romeo never wrote a bad song. as for Yngwie, need i remind of Liar & Queen in Love (to name but a few).Of course Romeo is better, he came after, therefore all he had to do was improve what had already been established. Why do you think Yngwie was so much better than Blackmore. its a matter of evolution not opinion. So all you hendrix fans, go play your droll pentatonics over your recycled chord progressions on your lame strats and spare us the broken record cliches.

  • @Voitcu YOU think romeo never did a bad song. not everybody

  • @Voitcu to build up on what you said as well. it was different eras and with that yngwie did things that were different.. of course romeo we know romeo even mentioned yngwie as one of his influences. technically romeo is more polished but of course like you said he added more floors to the foundation that was already establish before him

  • @Voitcu the first person who have balls to say the truth

  • @Voitcu but here are just talking technique. But who's more creative , who is musically more talented, who writes better solos?

  • Does not compute! Does not compute! *explosion*

  • Yngwie.No way..

  • Guthrie Govan, lol.

  • Try comparing Joe Satriani and Yngwie, but leave out the parts with vocals.

  • Simply a Tide

  • yngwie!

  • ROMEO OF COURSE

  • @MrShredtilldead well you have a good point there dude im not saying he is bad at all but still he should have a better atitude cause what he has said sometimes is just unbearible to hear cause it is just so ignorant and selfish...

  • @Deanguitarman123 Its actually funny because Neo Classical is derived from the classic english music and they were snobs them selves haha

  • Both are amazing players.I do prefer Michael a bit,but Yngwie started it all.

  • malmsteen is an ignorent jerk but really good at guitar...

  • @Deanguitarman123 I will never understand people who make comments like that. What the hell does how malmsteen act like have to do with crtiques of how he plays? Guess what, if I could play like malmsteen, started a whole musical revolution (Neo-classical shred), and yet still get little to no credit/apprication from mainstream media for what I have done....I would be a bit of an asshole to. The difference is, malmsteen has the chops to defend his behavior.

  • malmsteens vibrato...gets romeo...and yngwies a very underated rythm guitarist...yngwie all day muthefuckers..

  • HA - HA YNGWIE!

  • The better lick is at the ending part :B

    lol

  • how is called the first song yngwie?

  • @Hisookas Its Black Star from Rising Force enjoy man \m/

  • They both look a lot alike actually.

  • If there was no malmsteen there will be no romeo.

  • The legendary tone of malmsteenn makes always the difference.

  • Why not a comparison which includes some of Yngwies kick-ass songs from his prime instead of his early and more lame(but with great tone!) work?? Otherwise the comparison is bound to be unfair no?

    Trilogy suite Op.5, Leviathan, How Many Miles To Babylon, Eclipse, Faultline f. example to name a few..

  • romeo betters songs and technique :)

  • michael romeo win

    y la black star no es de malmssteen

  • For me, Michael is better (better player, better composer, better lyricist and more versatile). Yngwie was the best at his moment, but he's finished. I also think the examples of the video are inappropiate. Listen "Savage Curtain", "The Edge of Forever", "Of Sins and Shadows" or "Communion and the Oracle" and then compare.

  • Two magnificent guitarists!

  • Yngwie - better songs

    Romeo - better technique

  • Malmsteen for the win

  • well for me this is easy

    malmstein is grandpa and you don't mess with grandpa.

  • Both won

  • Look up Kelly Simonz.

    He makes Yngwie look like a noob. (not literally)

  • @TheSyuFan

    That's Correct!

    Kelly Simonz plays everything with ease. His technical skills are superb and the feeling Kelly puts in his music is outstanding. Kelly Simonz is my nr. 1.

    About this video, I prefer Yngwie if I have to choose between him and Michael.

    Romeo is good but I miss something.

  • Helo!

    That's right, yeah :)

  • Yngwie.

    

  • Romeo is the current king.

  • Haha Malmstank.

  • malmsteen is heart,,,,romeo is reason and maths

  • Battle of Titans ! ! !

  • shawn lane wins!

  • i like the 2 fastest guitarrist Yngwie Malmsteen create this neoclassic metal and  is a great compositor(excuse my english) and Michael romeo is a great guitarrist too the only thing here is the diference ...Michael romeo was inspired by Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve vay but michael create his own tecnique is the sweep tapping is amazing see it and is very hard do it so...stop talking shit about these guys...-.-! Yngwie Malmsteen is god in his neoclassic metal and Michael romeo is god in his ride

  • Romeo And juliet

  • Who are these guys playing guitar? Never heard of em.

    I"M KIDDING!!!

    Yngwie is a pompous ass in person. Michael was a very cool dude.

    Symphony X opened for Blind Guardian. Was a very good show.

  • nuno bettencourt wins here.

  • Yngwie is out of comparison to anyone for few reasons:

    1. He invented this style

    2. He is not a high technical band member like Romeo or Broderick or any other top shredders.. He is a musician by his own.. he writes symphonies.. he is totally different

    3. His technique is not his primary power like others...

  • malmsteen is Good, but not even reach the knees to michael romeo, romeo it's the best, and asshole fucked with the final song

  • MALMSTEEN! The Best in the world to me.

  • malmsteen > chuck norris x 2

  • in symphony x i loooooove how the bass follows the guitar rigt before the vocals come in, its AMAZING!!!!

  • malmsteen n°1

  • @b2joumettal malmmsten is shit (compared to michael)

  • @rocketmaster666 Tell that to Michael Romeo. He'd laugh in your face.

  • @deadenddude you are so right man 

  • WHY THE FUCK DID YOU PUT THAT SHIT AT THE END OF THE VIDEO???

  • michael romeo should have a signature ESP by now!!!!!

  • @sunnyjim98 he uses capirison now so that won't happen :(

  • @RoseCrush never seen those guitars yet, but rob marcello recently switched to them!

    and on that note, ROB MARCELLO SMOKES BOTH OF THESE GUITARISTS!!!!

  • @sunnyjim98 yeah totally agree, Rob Marcello smokes both of these guitarists.

  • i gotta say Romeo, tho i do love Malmsteen, Romeo is just awesome, and Yngwie is too repetitive

  • romeo best!!!!!

  • YM is the king of shred. Lots of other great players, that can play the same things just as well, but you get to be the king by doing is better first. Everyone else is is playing catch-up and copy. Not that they aren't great players. Think, EVH. Lots of guys copied the tapping and whammy thing. But EVH at his top form was and is still the standard by which alot of guitarist are measured. String skipping king Eric Johnson has set the bar for guitarist as well.

  • @MrDarinWarren Good to see someone else out there loves Eric Johnson. I cannot think of anyone else off the top of my head who makes really hard guitar playing sound so easy.

  • @MrDarinWarren

    what the hell? paul gilbert has exclusive rights to the title of "king of string skipping" eric is the king of tone.

  • que mensada obvio Yngwie es mucho mejor

    x la simple razon de que el comenzo ese estilo al tokar la guitarra

    Romeo es una copia...

  • sí... una copia, pero muy, muy mejorada y no cuadrada...

  • @leopardonesco Sí!, una copia..., pero muy, muy mejorada con técnica y no cuadrada

  • @Antortz79 pero sigue siendo copia jajaja

    ve le copia hasta el estilo de vestir, la gordura,el cabello

    por Dios hombre! sin Yngwie no habria Michael Romeo y punto

  • @leopardonesco imbecil, no es copia, la gordura no tiene nada que ver, menos el cabello y todos los metaleros se visten asi, no ahin ningun parecido, michael romeo es el mejor, yngwie es popo de perro

  • @leopardonesco tu mama copia a las prostitutas, como mierda dices que romeo es la copia de la vola de manteca de yngwie, por favor, como tanta ignorancia

  • Malmsteen just pave ways for Romeo to own more speed, skill and tech of next millennium. Can say like Blackmore vs malmsteen, who win ?

  • sinceramente, ainda prefiro o michael Romeo!

    Toca muito maise acima de tudo, o Romeo é humilde!

    isso é uma coisa q o Malmsteen não tem!

    e vc q colocou o video poderia ter colocado um solo mais loko do Romeo pq isso q ele tocou é o básico.

  • batio batio batio am sorry y love the way batio plays the guitar

  • Yngwie is best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • michael romeo ftw!!! hes doing new things and sadly yngwie isnt.

  • Well they are both a couple of fat fucks and they both pretty much sound the same. Obviously YJM is better because Romeo is just a clone. Also YJM has far superior tone. I thought Romeo used Line 6 Vetta heads, no wonder why his tone sucks so much..lol

  • @Hertsman50

    I don't know where you get the idea that Romeo's but a clone. His style is similar to Malmsteen, but its distinctive enough to be called his own.

  • @falsethreats Romeo's style is nothing like Malmsteen. This is like saying that Chopin is about same pile of stuff as Beethoven, or B. B. King is a clone of Howlin' Wolf, etc.

  • @KazKylheku

    I never said they were the same. However, you really cannot say that Romeo is nothing like Malmsteen. Their structures are not mirror images or even close to it, but there are some aspects (yet not many) in which they are similar.

  • DRAW!

  • Yngwie Malmsteen, but Michael Romeo is still great though

  • And right before Yngwie and Michael throw their final K0 1000 bpm licks at each other to end the duel, Hendrix emerges and slays them with 3 notes. Nuff Said

  • @VodooGuitarist You speak volumes dude. The GIT / MIT types are OK to watch but so much more to guitar than perfect execution of arpeggios over and over and over.....Might be impressive but not very memorable.

  • @intrance77 exactly

  • @VodooGuitarist 3 notes of the basic pentatonic that is

  • OK, with one note one knows it's Yngwie, even if his songs are as silly as Michael's, but nothing distinguishes Michael Romeo's playing from any other post-neo-classical shredder.

  • Michael Malmsteen!!!!

  • Both are great and better than you !

  • Malmsteen. If it wasn't for him bands like Sym X wouldn't be around.

  • lol 3:52 u kids

  • I REALLY CANT BELIEVE U.MALMSTEEN of course.

  • Michael Romeo

  • Sin Malmsteen no habria Romeo.

  • Michael Romero! =D

  • Comment removed

  • romeo although I love YJM. romeo just has more techniques and he's good at all of them!

  • Jason Becker.

  • romeo forever!,,, aguante symphony x!

  • 1:20 --- rape face

  • They are both fat cunts and they can both play fast. Call it a draw. Problem solved...simplez

  • Malmsteen has paved the way for players like Romeo, let's not doubt that for a second. His influence cannot be questioned. But Romeo has taken it to the next level, and as a songwriter and riffmaker he pretty much wipes the floor with the competition as far as I'm concerned.

  • ive said this billions of times..i love Yngwie to death,,but Romeo would but rape him any day any where.........................­......with no lube....

  • Malmsteen was..Romeo is

  • @NailgunDeath definetely and romeo is a way better songwriter

  • romeo!

  • Romeo. I think he (and a lot of guitar players out there for sure) owns a lot to Yngwie but Romeo is a killing riff maker, much more creative in his solos, easier to listen as he has one of the best tapping I and I guess a lot of people have seen.

  • both good, but romeo is a bit more "musical" and more creative but he is very much malmsteen influenced. so romeo = "better" (imo), malmsteen = no romeo :D

  • Malmsteen, of course. Actually, romeo plays Malmsteen. :-P

  • @rafaelbraraujo no hes just trying. i think.and kids love him .i hate this

  • michael romeo

  • in terms of skill id say theyre pretty evenly matched, but romeo writes way better music

  • arghhh both are good, I have even met michael romeo, but Yngwie Malmsteen was shredding back in the 80s with barely no gain at all, so I will give him my credit.

  • How can you tell the difference? Sounds like Romeo emulates yngwie

  • ROMEOO

  • as much as i appreciate and like Malmsteen, i must say Romeo

  • I love them both. Fat guitarists for the win.

  • @tasatful lol

  • hahah wtf is wong with u ppl? ahahahha u can't compare Malm with anyone! especially not to someone like romeo.THere are thousands of guitarist who can play like Romeo,but Malmsteen is unique,along with the rest of G3.

  • @DeadnightWarrior1991 Lol you said the complete oposite of the right thing.

  • michael romei is better!!!

  • MICHAEL ROMEOOO!!!!

    THE BEST!
