30 years later he's still the gold standard. he actually wrote albums worth of songs. all these youtube shredders can move their fingers but they can't write anything worth listening to. when all you "less is more" people order a pizza do you order just dough? why not? less is more. if you can't play shreddy stuff then you have absolutely no right to even talk about it. because if you could play like this you would.
I used to have this on tape back in 89-90. I now remember there was too much crowd noise in the editing and can still hear it 20 years later.It's cool to finally see that same exact recording live after all of those years. Yngwie is an amazing player.

Dont know...timing of these high notes etc..not impressed...lots of notes...sloppy at times well 89 dont blame them for the looks..lots of hair.....timing and soul some of the assets of Hendrix..completely absent here...
@Dubaiman123 I know!!!!!!!! You would have nailed it though i bet!!!!!!! I bet you are bad ass!! No wait i bet you think playing fast means you suck!!! You would have played just six notes and it would have been a masterpiece right?? Right??
I'm a Wisconsin Metal chick, and I LOVE Yngwie.To me, he is over-the-top sexy. I'm also a fan of Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, and Michael Schenker. It's not an issue of one guitarist being fantastic and all the rest being garbage; it's about a fleet of musicians who give their all for us. Incidentally, does anyone know how Yngwie gets that astonishing long sustain starting at 2:20; is it with an overdrive pedal? Thanks.
@crazedcatman1234 Did you know that Yngwie didn't know he was going to play this song? The band didn't know they were going to play this song. It was completely an impulse of Yngwie's at the start of this video. That's why he plays the opening riff for so long and then the drummer does a long roll to get the thing going safely spontaneously.
@fritshits77 Yngwie is a stylized spelling of the Scandinavian name, Yngve. His full, real, name is Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck. It means, in general, Lord and is an older name of the Norse God, Freyr. Check Wikipedia under Yngvi and Yngve.
@ntk986 THNX for this info > cool to know!! this version was played often on SUPER CHANNEL , one of the early music TV channels, this was in `88/`89...still have VHS tapes from that , and every now & then I have it played in my local ROCK bar..called ROCKZ! still is a KILLER version...the guitar just screeeeeamz!!! CIAO
One of the reasons why Malmsteen gets bashed is because of his lack of discipline. Part of being a great musician is knowing when not to play something. In this video Malmsteen shows that he is capable of being great. He should play like this more often and not try to play a million notes per second all the time. That stuff gets old real quick.
@RebelThoughts was going by the comments again wen i caught this onein which you observe in yur opionion Inqwie lacks discipline.sorry it just struck me becuz it's a well known fact that Ingwie was one of the more disciplened in music as he practiced 8hrs. most days.not dissing you.peace~
Why do you complain on Yngwie, he is making a tribute to one of his idols. So what if he play to many notes and not so much blues, he play what he wants to play. And who are we to tell him how to do it when we sit and watch youtube and watching a great rockstar whe we are not rockstars !!! And we all knows he owns 99% of all the players in the world! So just shut upp and watch a master, i know hendrix is doing it in heaven!
I'm not a huge Yngwie fan...He is a very good player and all, just don't dig his style..but here he shows to have some great taste in his playing. He'd do stuff that Jimi himself could've come up with. Props to Yngwie for this.
Everybody knows how great Yngy is. But if you're a fan of Jimi and this song, you love what Joe is doing on the vocals here. Jimi would have loved all of it.
@TheGallantGentry apart from the fact that Jimi could never in his life play like mulmsteen, even though Jimi was in my opinion a "Better player" in terms of taste and such, but he was nothing in terms of technique compared to mulmsteen
Yeah this is it just ask malmsteen do an hendrix cover and this is what he did with spanish castle magic he should be very proud I know Hendrix would be my favourite moment is in 4:26 you really hear the Hendrix kinda of playing For those who think Yngwie is trying to copy and sound like Jimi They are wrong he just covered this great song to have a good show for his fans cause that's Yngwie Malmsteen Hope you have a very good year yngwie Cheers!
Shows that having a good understanding of the blues was also part of his arsenal Many of the later day shredders lack this lesson. They may have chops but no feel. YM has both. .
@hesmon Oh my Gosh, I get so tired of hearing"It's not Hendrix" NO SHIT, Its YNGWIE FUCKING MALMSTEEN!! If he wanted to sound exactly like Hendrix, he would have been called a POSER and never gotten anywhere. Sorry for the tirade, but it really is pretty damn frustrating.
@NeufilmsInc I see your point. You are right. Hendrix fans can be very stubborn, as am I. It's a good cover. I just prefer Jimi but this is nice as well.
I love that Yngwie laid back and put a ton of soul in the solo and did not try to burn the sun with million mile an hour riffs. I love him when he plays like this. I appreciate his chops as well but it take more control to play a solo like this than a super fast one sometimes.
the singer moves like a stripper and @ 0:42 was the gayest kick I've ever seen. I see this more as a lesson on how not to look and play. The solo flashy, but boring. yngwie should stick to the neo classical stuff, his volume swells are awesome. He just doesn't do rock n roll well. There are a ton of players out there who have really learned the guitar and chords, not just a scale or two.
@loudrussell alright 2nd of all you gotta understand this is like 80's metal. The glam scene was hot dude and this is a pretty dang good band performance. Theres definitely a lot of gayer fucking bands in the 80's. And last of all this was a HENDRIX cover. do you not understand that lol.
I always thought yngwie was a bit of a showoff, after this performance i guess he could show off if he wanted to cause that was just nasty (in a good way)
@IDontLiveTodayJH Right on, and Yngwie, aint no Hendrix!!!!!!! great cover, but Yngwie cant help but OVERPLAY, great tone , great chops, but he overplays, sometimes he doesn't let the music breathe, you cant live without air, and either can music.
He has the swagger of Jack White in this Video. When he slows down and plays blues he blows me away. Lately he seems to be trying to hard to play super fast and it sucks ass. He has such a killer tone and emotion in this video. Thanks for posting!
@814mfg I think he's trying to relive his glory years of the 80's. Now he's just an arrogant, ego-crazy older man. He's lost a lot of respect or being so into himself lately, and now he is the the subject of many jokes about his weight, his drop in popularity, stuff like that. I think he's just trying to stay young and similar to how he was in the 80's, when he played really fast.
Aside from him being his self..... this is true greatness.....straight dope. Looking back on this preformance with my older , yet still some what star struck peepers..... he was very special here. Great fucking song played with attitude . Yngwie attitude dude. He seemed so super human back then. Then he ate a super human or two.
@gbwisconsin it really depends on the guitar with feedback. ive found that you cannot get as much feedback from strats, especially if youre using 2 pickups at once. LPs have feedback on some settings, you can get almost nothing from SGs.. however it depends on the amp as well. also how far away you are from the amp. theres really so many factors involved with feedback its an almost impossible art to study. so any of those reasons are why Yngwie isnt getting much feedback.
@hurricaneofrock The in-between pickup positions on strats are hum-cancelling, meaning they cut alot of the extra signal (feedback). Yngwie doesn't use these positions, but he does use noise supressors with very little decay, meaning the notes are cut very clean, for his trademark precision I would imagine.
@DaveGrohl85, actually Joe Lynn Turner was regarded to be quite attractive by the ladies and to have wonderful bedroom eyes. He's performed with Yngwie, Blackmore, Schenker, etc., and that's an impressive track record. Anyway, I defend your right to express your opinion.
jimi would be proud to here such great people playing his legacy.love yngwie and well jimi is just in a another catagory.since he had only low tech equipment.but still killed it any way.if jimi played it it got tore up biotch.badass.peace
I love the comments section for Ynwie videos. Wherever there is a Yngwie video there are also hordes of nobodies, consumed with bitterness and jealousy, embarrassing themselves with silly arguments.
Everyone knows Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the all-time great guitar virtuosos, but sadly it appears that not everyone is emotionally equipped to deal with such a simple fact.
yngwie at his absolute zenith in my opinion: the tone, the attitude the tone the chops the attidude..and did I say TONE? If anyone can find a more rightious strat-Marshall tone i'd love to know about it! Clanking Iron! Somewhere in there the spirit of Jimi was alive and well...Ygnwie style of course
@mKreifeldt I can think of a lot better Strat/Marshall tones. Jimi for one, and Stevie Ray Vaughan (he actually used a Marshall Town & Country at one point of his career, and he sounded great!). There are lots better tones with a strat into a marshall than Malmsteen's. The massive amount of distortion kind of ruins the Stratiness of his Strat. It lacks the Strat single coil sound, especially since he has stacked humbuckers intsead. It's not a true Strat, therefore not Strat-Marshall tone.
@hvrock13 There are lots of great strat Marshall tones and the tone YJM got in this era is one of them. I personaly HATED SRV's tones, sounded like a piano mixed with a dying water buffalo.
Yngwie's guitar playing in this video is good...but what the fuck is up with this singer? Seriously. I know that in the 80's people "did things differently"....but this guy has no excuse for being as useless to this song as he is. I'd rather listen to Jimi Hendrix mumble this whole song high on acid.
@ccccorde, just remember that by the point in the live set that this song was performed, Joe Lynn Turner had been straining his vocal chords a long while. If you'll check out the Odyssey album, along with the 3 disks he made with Rainbow, you'll find JLT is a powerful vocalist.
yngwie is obviously a very good guitar player... but he just looks retarded on stage... why does he keep kicking the air? its like a 12 year old told him what was cool to do, and he was trying to do exactly that
i'm plenty lightened up, i think plenty of stage tricks are cool... playing with your teeth, behind your back, "the who" guitar strum (the one where you rotate your arm all the way around)... i normally don't question the guitarist who is playing, they can do whatever they want. but watchin yngwie play just looked stupid to me. personal opinion, i'm sure many would agree... anyway i thought he looked stupied, you might not, thats as far as this conversation goes as far as i'm concerned haha
mellamosean, full agreement here pal. This is the most pathetic piece of shit performance video I've ever seen. Doesn't matter how fast the guitarist is. "Hair bands" should not attempt Hendrix. Garbage.
Yeah and we should look for your epic album and dvd in what stores? Oh, and when will your wourld tour be stopping in Russia....LOL stop taking up valuable oxygen that a productive human being could be using.
hey saicosis2, remember that Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and many other "artists" have had millions of records/dvds put out to the consuming public y the huge corporte entities behind them. I do play and love music. I acknowledge that Yngwie obviously spent much time learning to play fast, but the songs on his records pretty much suck, as does almost all of the "hair" era music. Sorry if my expressing my opinion offends you.
Well, not only did you manage to not answer my questions at all, you also managed to name 3 artists without mentioning one that had the ability to play any intrument what so ever. You obviously have no credentials or taste. If you don't like intrumental artists then don't come on pages where they are featured. For you to say that YJM's songs suck is just assinine and proves that you are a mindless idiot. YJM has sold millions of records himself, if that is all you can compare with.
BTW, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga are both cover artists. They have yet to write any of their own material which would automatically discount them from even being comparable to someone with the writing and composition talents of Yngwie. DO YOU EVEN HAVE A CLUE ABOUT MUSIC TO ANY DEGREE???
"writing and composition talents?" Writing sterile music counts technically as being a composer, I guess.
I haven't sold millions of records or toured Russia, and I still love to play music. Hair bands shouldn't play groove-oriented music like Hendrix because they don't know what groove and feel is. Sorry. Malmsteen definitely does not have an ounce of groove or soul in his playing. Stick to covering Deep Purple Ying-Yang!

How does he maintain that long sustain starting at 2:30? Is it with an overdrive petal?

@gbwisconsin No, it's with 6 marshall stacks.

@Dephfektive, how exactly does he do it without distortion or feedback setting in immediately?
gbwisconsin 1 year ago
@gbwisconsin it really depends on the guitar with feedback. ive found that you cannot get as much feedback from strats, especially if youre using 2 pickups at once. LPs have feedback on some settings, you can get almost nothing from SGs.. however it depends on the amp as well. also how far away you are from the amp. theres really so many factors involved with feedback its an almost impossible art to study. so any of those reasons are why Yngwie isnt getting much feedback.
hurricaneofrock 1 year ago
@hurricaneofrock The in-between pickup positions on strats are hum-cancelling, meaning they cut alot of the extra signal (feedback). Yngwie doesn't use these positions, but he does use noise supressors with very little decay, meaning the notes are cut very clean, for his trademark precision I would imagine.

@DaveGrohl85, actually Joe Lynn Turner was regarded to be quite attractive by the ladies and to have wonderful bedroom eyes. He's performed with Yngwie, Blackmore, Schenker, etc., and that's an impressive track record. Anyway, I defend your right to express your opinion.

@maikai196 That's why you don't use a fraying strap at a show, and always use strap locks. Anyone using a strap in danger of breaking is an idiot.

Excellent cover of a fantastic song!
I love the comments section for Ynwie videos. Wherever there is a Yngwie video there are also hordes of nobodies, consumed with bitterness and jealousy, embarrassing themselves with silly arguments.
Everyone knows Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the all-time great guitar virtuosos, but sadly it appears that not everyone is emotionally equipped to deal with such a simple fact.

Funny to see 80's glam doing Hendrix.
.....but Mr. Malmsteen and company do a fantastic job on this one!

Playback! Sounds exactly like the studio version. At least the singer. But that was somehow standard in the soviet union back then.

@DavidVanPatten Collection? That's the live version as well...
Live in Leningrad was recorded with former Rainbow vocalist Joe Turner. The same version appears on The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection, 1991.
There's a studio version on the Inspiration album, 1996, also featuring Joe Lynn Turner, but the vocals doesn't sound very much like the live version.

Yngwie claims he picked up the guitar the day Jimi died. He's one of his biggest influences along with Pagannini, Bach, and Blackmore..

Yngwie plays this because he loves hendrix.
No other reason should be needed.

yngwie at his absolute zenith in my opinion: the tone, the attitude the tone the chops the attidude..and did I say TONE? If anyone can find a more rightious strat-Marshall tone i'd love to know about it! Clanking Iron! Somewhere in there the spirit of Jimi was alive and well...Ygnwie style of course
mKreifeldt 1 year ago 49
@mKreifeldt I can think of a lot better Strat/Marshall tones. Jimi for one, and Stevie Ray Vaughan (he actually used a Marshall Town & Country at one point of his career, and he sounded great!). There are lots better tones with a strat into a marshall than Malmsteen's. The massive amount of distortion kind of ruins the Stratiness of his Strat. It lacks the Strat single coil sound, especially since he has stacked humbuckers intsead. It's not a true Strat, therefore not Strat-Marshall tone.

@hvrock13 There are lots of great strat Marshall tones and the tone YJM got in this era is one of them. I personaly HATED SRV's tones, sounded like a piano mixed with a dying water buffalo.

Yngwie's guitar playing in this video is good...but what the fuck is up with this singer? Seriously. I know that in the 80's people "did things differently"....but this guy has no excuse for being as useless to this song as he is. I'd rather listen to Jimi Hendrix mumble this whole song high on acid.

@ccccorde, just remember that by the point in the live set that this song was performed, Joe Lynn Turner had been straining his vocal chords a long while. If you'll check out the Odyssey album, along with the 3 disks he made with Rainbow, you'll find JLT is a powerful vocalist.

hey saicosis2, remember that Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and many other "artists" have had millions of records/dvds put out to the consuming public y the huge corporte entities behind them. I do play and love music. I acknowledge that Yngwie obviously spent much time learning to play fast, but the songs on his records pretty much suck, as does almost all of the "hair" era music. Sorry if my expressing my opinion offends you.
mikeadk 1 year ago
Well, not only did you manage to not answer my questions at all, you also managed to name 3 artists without mentioning one that had the ability to play any intrument what so ever. You obviously have no credentials or taste. If you don't like intrumental artists then don't come on pages where they are featured. For you to say that YJM's songs suck is just assinine and proves that you are a mindless idiot. YJM has sold millions of records himself, if that is all you can compare with.
saicosis2 1 year ago
BTW, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga are both cover artists. They have yet to write any of their own material which would automatically discount them from even being comparable to someone with the writing and composition talents of Yngwie. DO YOU EVEN HAVE A CLUE ABOUT MUSIC TO ANY DEGREE???
saicosis2 1 year ago 2
"writing and composition talents?" Writing sterile music counts technically as being a composer, I guess.
I haven't sold millions of records or toured Russia, and I still love to play music. Hair bands shouldn't play groove-oriented music like Hendrix because they don't know what groove and feel is. Sorry. Malmsteen definitely does not have an ounce of groove or soul in his playing. Stick to covering Deep Purple Ying-Yang!
