  • To see this (shredder+symphony) done well, check out Steve Vai's "Tender Surrender."

  • WHO THE SHIT IS THIS 25 MOTHERFUCKERS?!?!?!

  • RECONQUISTA!!

  • do you know where i can download all of yngwie album.....

  • El sumo maestro...

  • Damn! :o

  • Oh yes! This is great

  • I can't understand people who say that Yngwie has no feeling or he uses just one scale etc. ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING DEAF OR WHAT?! Yngwie is the Mozart of our century. He is lightyears more advanced in musical level than some of the fake guitarists out there.

  • Do you know were i can download this album?

  • With this song we must remember the words from Jimmy Page "the composition will return to the clasic music level

  • Music so fast even asians can't play it.

  • @chococoplex that comment made my day XD

  • クラシックとメラルの融合。

    楽曲の本質を知るから演奏者はエレキだろうと関係なく”音”を拾­ってる感じがします。

  • epic intro

  • Well Bach would certainly be impressed with the professionality of the orchestra and the guitarist, but he would recognize the harmonic progression as a total cliche and Yngwie's non stop use of the minor harmonic scale as impressive but fairly boring. I don't see why Yngwie bothered to find an orchestra to accompany this pretentious pies of crap, but I have to say Yngwie does rock the fuck out on this track. It works better as symphonic rock than as classical music...

  • @WoutervDijk89 theres a difference between neo classical and classical.

  • brava!!!!!!!!!! esto si es musica

  • FUKING ALIEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Holy Shit...

  • Metal is the law

  • Yngwie you did amazing job with the japanese orchestra!

    Amazing.

  • too much speed will kill ya... he has too much speed (not in the good way)

  • 0:24, my browser crashed, no joke.

  • This song, and Icarus Dream Fanfare, are insane. <3

    I love how the Orchestra accompanies him in Icarus Dream Fanfare a lot.

    The album and concerto are awesome! I have both the CD and DVD.

  • Al principio todo era Yngwie Malmsteen...

  • 0:40 HAHA he started too fast HAHA

  • You look at people these day of this caliber and you shake your head that 1 out of every 4 million people know these peoples names. Then you have to sort through another million to find someone who knows a song they played.One thing I learned in music school, never say this person is better because they all bring something unique to the table. We being such a minority need to embrace the people who are out there still

  • if anyone knows anything about j.s Bach you would understand he is very complicated and involved. Ynwgie studied him and plays a very classical rock and thats hard. so people should give him the respect he deserves.

  • All Hail Lord Malmsteen.

  • Still got it

  • che tamarroooooooo

  • the people playing are like dead by the end of the song.

  • God

  • yngwie es dios

  • i agree he is very exceptionally good , but as in this clip , allegro adagio , blue and arpeggios from hell he uses the same run

  • mostruosoooooooo

  • you're insane if you say you don't like this !!!!!!

  • Where the hell was I?

  • jesus his finger are so chunky and big, the guitar looked fake from a certain angle when he was playing (Absolutely no disrespect to his musical prowess)

  • about yngwie hahah but Thats what I really think about it

  • And if you know classical music than you have to agree with me !! I think if Bach would hear a Yngwie concerto than he wouldnt be impressed. Its really good but its not genious !! Playing wise yngwie ofcourse is the fuckin best !!! hahaha but it would have been more intresting if he made whole compositions instead of 60% composition with 40% improvised shredding on top. I mean if a violin player would play like this :P well than i would not like it at all, I cant believe i talk like this abou

  • Comment removed

  • @xSnoweyexp i think any classical composer would be impressed to see sombody play the guitar as a solo instrument, seeing as it wasn't even a respected accompaniment instrument during their time, and now a guitarist has an entire symphony behind him. I don't see why youre saying 40% improvised shredding like it's a bad thing. He shouldn't have to play something the same every time, and I don't think anyone has the right to speak for a dead composer, seeing as nobody living actually knew him.

  • @xSnoweyexp I beg to differ. Yngwie has the right approach. As do Alan Holdsworth. As did Shawn Lane. It's all them guitarists performing only grey training recitals that have it the wrong way.

    And while classical musicians today play written music to the note, that wasn't the case at all with their originals.

  • THIS IS MUSIC

  • @RapidFire813 ...THIS IS SPARTA!!!

  • @RapidFire813 Thanks cap

  • 00:16 -> 00:33

    Ummm, might as well stop the gig right there, you aint gonna top that all night m8.

  • @Hardysamnin the whole of the finallie =] beat it =]

  • is the whole fretboard scalloped?

  • @RichardMisiak Yes, it also has jumbo frets

  • @RichardMisiak it sure is. one of his well known trademarks

  • I sort of like this. I know music pretty well, so I have to say that his orchestral accompaniment is lacking somewhat, in a very uninteresting sort of way. He would do well to brush up on his theory. All of that aside, he is very talented. I have a great deal of respect for him simply because he went out there and did it. I wonder if there are any tonal composers still alive that would be willing to work with him.

  • its like beethoven has been resurrected and plays guitar.

  • @metalloversrejoice mm haha, I seriously adore Yngwie and he is my alltime favorite guitar player. I have this DVD at home and I must say that its great !! for sure it is but I would not describe it as classical music and it is definately not even close to what Mozart or Bach did ( ok people are gonna hate me now ) but its true, the compositions where good but they where not great I mean its all pretty basic stuff in the world of classical music. I LIKE IT !!! THATS FOR SURE

  • Hey fatso this just doesn't work!

  • @MNX58 - 347 to 17 says it works. Get your face arse "of" the youtube comment section? Or whatever the fuck that means.

  • This just doesn't work! Malmsteen should get his face arse of the stage! Just awful.

  • I tihnk Yngwie came at 1:00

  • epic, pure genius.

  • this is a beautiful shred music this song have a sens

  • for a genre of music that typically doesn't convey a whole lot emotionally, yngwie really brings it to the table in overdriven force, with both sound and body language

  • cierren el orto fracasados de mierda, quiero ver cuantos de los pelotudos que critican pueden hacer siquiera una decima parte de lo que hace malmsteen.

  • If you dont' play guitar, and don't know your theory don't bother critiszing him.

  • que van halen y que mis pelotas, este si es chingon y eso que solo es la mitad de su velocidad

  • The difference between a heartily guitarist and an excellent guitarist.

    People like Brian May, BB King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy are heartily guitarist.

    Yngwie Malmsteen is an excellent guitarist.

  • Please, for the love of god, never mix orchestral music and guitar like this, ever, ever again...

  • @allnose08 never comment about music, please, never again.

  • hey im curious did he arange everything like what everyones playing and stuff

  • @tnt420tnt yeah he did, and that's why it sound so cheesy.

    For all his brilliant playing, he doesnt seem to realise that music moves on and trying to be Mendlsohn isn't clever, especially since i cant spell him

  • @BarriosGroupie i duno wat Mendlsohn is but even though it was kinda cheesy i liked it

  • @tnt420tnt ok, u liked it. I'm doing you a favour in case you ever become a great guitarist and feel the need to look to the past - don't. We move on, we always have in the past.

  • @BarriosGroupie ok thanks ill owe all my future success 2 u

  • @tnt420tnt yep the full set

  • I love how people call yngwie fat, if you lived in America you would consider him a semi-fit person haha. If you want to see someone that IS fat but can shred as well then look at Shawn Lane, he is a legend now that he is dead however his disease did make him gain an insane amount of weight.

  • its a bit out of tempo

  • yes...I'm sure he's used to a loud drummer,

    and I'm sure he can't play at the volume he's used to.

  • @xobrasxx The music is like that, it's not out of tempo.

  • no doubt the best guitar player on Earth !

  • dude, those players are sweating their balls off trying to keep up with him! haha

  • idola...

  • Muito bom cara você é realmete o melhor do mundo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!edson carlos mota do Brazil

  • he is cool yet he is fat

  • I just marvel at this man. I know nothing of music professionally, but I know that I love this stuff. I do know classical music quite well...and love the way it can be integrated into rock !

  • EPIC!! I want to be your student yngwie!

  • Te faster with the best technics of playing Maestro malmsteen THE BEST GUITARIST EVER FOREVER

  • Awesome guitar playing, stunning - Have you met JACKULA ? - the dog that hates junk-mail

  • True legend

  • I guess I just don't get it. it's too much ripping and not enough melody. He's good though. I like EVH riffs better.

  • Wow, this one is much better with the orchestra!

  • I would never say he was the first to do it because of Blackmore, who was a big influence on Yngwie, but I would say in my statement " nobody did anything of this magnitude on the guitar ". Rainbow and Scorpions are 2 of my fave bands and I tip my hat to those guitarists and to you for your knowledge, noximputesta

  • I am a fan of Yngwie, but I like the orchestral verson of Icarus Dream Suite MUCH better. Still: nobody has done something of this magnitude on guitar. I am not a professional ear, but the guitar overpowered this piece a bit. I still like his stuff though and will always listen to it.

  • actually 2 significant guitarists were playing in this style WAY before yngwie.

    Though those guitarists never made the genre Neo-Classical as popular as Yngwie, they did have a very strong prowess in the style.

    Uli Jon Roth from the Scorpions. Listen to The Sails of Charon.

    Ritchie Blackmore of Rainbow. Listen to Gates of Babylon.

    Both those songs were on albums released in 1977.  Yngwie was 14 then.

  • he is the best....

  • el mejor de todos guitar good

  • i just came!!!:D

  • Might want to lay off the sugary drinks before a performance, the tempo was up and down in a non-sensical irritating way, and I like this song usually.

  • comment tu fais !!!

  • it's magical, I don't know what else to say...

  • ave ei rusnak da ti eba maikata

  • The Great Maestro - The Best Elecric Guitar On Record !!!

  • The Great Maestro - the best electric guitar on record !!!

  • Let us not forget the great skill and musicianship of the orchestra members

  • what movements this?

  • Trilogy Suite Op5 The First Movement

  • a bowel movement.

  • Don't state the obvious about yourself.

  • Ah, I see you are a master wit. Well done.

  • Thank you. I know I'm your hero.

  • Comment removed

  • tamarro

  • Who was better

    Fat Winnie "sausage fingers" Malmsteen or

    Skinni Yngwie Malmsteen?

  • hahahahaha Skinni of course, because he was young :) and skinni ever wins :( i'm a fat guy too and i know it

  • 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 !!

  • Ynwgie is the only player of his league who has to face so much criticism about every single thing he does. Everyone seems to know what he ought to be doing. Lesser men have had it easier with fans, the media etc. I wonder where this tripe started.

  • i remember hearing The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection when i was 13 and going silent for a long time.

  • @dnikhilrao Dude I wonder the same thing...I think its because sometimes he can be big headed. I also think its because some find him unoriginal(He's NEO CLASSICAL! Of course its gonna sound like Mozart or Haydn!) I think its also a bit of envy and jealousy, idk.

  • @dnikhilrao couldent have said it better myself

  • @dnikhilrao it started when he decided to be great, n know it... most people dont like when a guy comes around n does stuff better than them... i like it though... gives me a goal with my playing ^^

  • @dnikhilrao It starts with jealousy. The haters will NEVER be as gifted. They know YMs pinky will ALWAYS be more talented than their whole body!......So they bitch and whine like babies.

  • @dnikhilrao It started with an english "rock" magazine from the eighties called 'Kerrangg !'; They used to slag him off and say he was a Ritchie Blackmore clone.

    They we're jealous,and probably never even listened to the kid play his guitar.

  • @dnikhilrao I think it's because he invented the neo-classical genre amongst rock/metal so people expect him to play as if he released eclipse again into 2010, you know.

  • @Plague6669 invented neoclassical genre????

    Neoclassical was inventend in 1920’s (Satie, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Milhaud, etc., etc., etc). Neo classical means to study music from the past and re invent or translate some parameters (like the classical organization of the form, or the almost mechanical rythms of Baroque period) into music of THIS age.

    This is nothing but neoclassical. He just studied some Bach suits and copyed the same armonic and melodic progressions! He is not neoclassic at all.

  • @Vitisaurio Yes everything you said is true. My uncle who was from that time as a pianist , passed this to me before he died. In 1966 when I was 6 yrs old, AM radio was it. I was a total freak and out cast. Now when I shred on keyboards, the few that come out to see good live music see me as this God. I really hate that term, My girlfriend is a guitarist and came from the same background. we held each other tight as small children at Julliard. Now if you want to hear shredding hear her

  • i think is fucking smashing ..like to see,who else can play like this ..even when i don´t like malmsteen that much but this is good..yeah

  • if you don't know classic music, just be quiet

  • @IIkhamaII

    i dont know too much about classic music, but i refuse to be quiet!

    Yngwie owns :)

  • the orchesta people seem unhappy. LOL

  • lol..they did. That Asian chick seem like she wanted to rip someone's head off.

  • Never heard an electric guitar (or any kind of guitar) used with an orchestra before. Pretty interesting, given how much I normally hate electric guitars.

  • Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple in 1969 was the first ;) search something in the web

  • i play the op5...

    and it's great,

    with a great distortion!!

    yeah!!

  • WTF AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • WoOw

  • great version of the song.... just beatiful....people who say these are just a bunch of notes without "music" can't understand yngwies music...its another dimension of music, at the beginning i thought the same way, but now, i understand and its so good

  • On June30,1963 God created Yngwie,The Paginini of our times! Happy 46th Yngwie and Keep On Rocking!

  • *is destroyed under the immense wittiness of this comment*

  • Music's there, but at times it feels like it's basically a whole lot of fast shredding jammed together. Also, where's the dynamics? Nearly no volume or speed changes, it's just one continous, fast, guitar solo. Basically, the guitar 'talks' more, 'speaks' less, but that's opinion - it can and will vary!

    I like the concept of an electric guitar *finally* being used as an orchestral instrument. I wish to do a similiar thing, and now I know that such a thing...is possible and has been explored.

  • Bit slow :(

  • You say Jonas Bro- I say get some friends

    You say 50cent - I say Three Days Grace

    You say Soulja Boy- I say Korn

    You say Snoop Dog- I say Slipknot

    You say Chris Brown - I say Disturbed

    You say Justin Timberlake- I say Metallica

    You say High School Musical - I say Linkin Park

    You say Miley Cyrus - I say WHAT THE FUCK!

    92% of kids have turned to rap, pop & hip hop. If you'r one of the 8% who like to headbang and disturb the peace, copy and paste this to four vids.KEEP THE SPIRIT OF ROCK!

  • You say that- I say spam

  • malmsteen chupala aguante pappo !!!!!!!!! este boludo tiene menos rock que la mega ....

  • look avecesmembolo, grow up were not seventh graders here who think theyr cool cuz they can say things about your mom and sex. Malmsteen is great, but so is petrucci. as people, i can see why you like malmsteen, because he was a total gerk, unlike petrucci who is mild mannered and respectful. both are amazing guitarists, with different styles.

  • This performance is mind blowing!

  • petrucci is gay... malmsteen rules... son todos putosssssss q mierda critican la concha de la lora fuckerssss

  • your gay!!petrucci rules just like malmsteen does!!

  • ha... ha... ha.... your humor is killing me...

  • Lol Internet arguments.you could read them all day.

  • Best. Vampire Outfit. Ever

  • Badass live performance!

  • I can not think of too many riffs that beat 1:32 -1:59 and 2:37 - 2:49 in technicality and musicality but share a link if you know of anymore.

  • I think this live version is the best! The orchestra just makes everything complete.

  • It's all in the hair. I bet you a million if he cut his hair, he couldn't play the intro to Stairway To Heaven. I used to have long hair and played pretty good guitar. Then, I cut it all off and now I'm shite. See? I'm telling you, it's the truth. Look at Metallica. Before haircut: Great. After haircut: Pish.

    Also, all skinheads are shite at guitar.

  • that happened with my friend lol it aint gonna happen 2 me

  • paul gilbert still rocks

  • HHHAaaaa very nice man !!!!

    keep it true!!!

  • joe satriani....he's bowld and still fucking owns ;D

  • Petrucci managed to cut his hair short, but is still doing pretty well for himself.

  • I like this song, but this version of it sucks ass.
