  • Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Angelo Batio, they are my two Guitarist best ever!

  • you people are never satisfied the video ain't good the guitar's are to loud blah blah blah who care's if the video sux yngwie can make a crappy video and still be good

  • Very good song from "Facing the Animal" which to me is a very good album..Yngwie Malmsteen.

    Guitar Legend!

  • It's a great song, but they cold spent a little bit of money in video. Live version is much better

  • i love this one!! :)

  • I remember seeing Yngwie in Toronto touring for G3. Yngwie was completely wasted and I noticed people along side of me pointing up at him and laughing. Wasn't sure what was funny 'til he leaned back and they pointed again. Dude's balls were clearly visible through a tear in his leather pants. By the time he was finished with his set I think everyone up front had noticed it. Vai seemed to be really annoyed 'cause Yngwie was such a mess. He looked like 10lbs. of shit in a 5lb. bag.

  • Prefer live version.

  • yngwie malmsteeb the best

  • the solo is soooo awesome :D

  • The most boring singer yngwie ever worked with. Even Graham Bonnet was better fitting to malmsteen-metal.

  • epic song!

  • Great guitarist, great singer, great lyrics...Great music!!!

    This is epicness to my ears!

  • Love this solo!! The beginning at 2:22 is amazing!!!

  • It took me very long for some reason to realise that the singer Mat Levens has sung in three albums of one of my favourite bands named Therion XD

  • good song but video is cheep.\

  • I saw Malmsteen in Dec 2000 at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, Florida. He opened for Ronnie James Dio and came on after Doro Pesch. It was the best concert I've ever been to and it was packed out. But damned if I know who sung for Malmsteen that night... some blond guy that was new to the band.

  • @TurtleFL that would be Mark Boals

  • @TurtleFL that guy, is one of the finest voices in the metal today: Jorn Lande. He was at the band at that time, doing the tour duties. Sad that he left the band shortly after.

  • mats sings with alot of passion, but he has to be ,vocaly, the worst malmsteen had for frontman. if only his voice wasnt quite as raspy and he had a better range. but i still like him.

  • I am looking at my screen and I actually think I'm wearing out the red line between 02:24 and 03:12, it's getting lighter and lighter every time I play that bit again...

  • Great album Great song. I liked this Yngwie lineup. Mats Levin reminds me of Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons

  • Sometimes I feel

    Like I live in a dream

    Alone in my Paradise Lost!...

  • good song but pv is priceless.

  • Mats Leven is amazing,did a good job in At Vance as well. So if there is sombody who should get credit it is Mats,not that fat ferrari-guitar-tatoo.ego dude.

  • alone in my paradise now.. great song

  • perde uzerinde hizli kosmak marifet degil ya. gercekten degil. onun icin her zaman blues. onun icin her zaman fender stratocaster.

  • Mats rules.

  • man... i love facing animal album so much... i think that was best album yngwie ever made

  • Wish this song was in a film from my youth

  • The singer has GOT to figure out wtf to do with his hands... it's just so... akward. Damn good thing Yngwie is a showman.

  • Isso é lindíssimo e perfeito, simplesmente magnifico!

  • This is metal not rock. Marty Friedman is better than Yngwie.

  • @HaohmaruOfTheWind I love Marty but he's not better than YJM!

    Why?

    1) More good songs written by YJM than Marty. Megadeth doesn't count cause Dave helped write those songs too.

    2) YJM is better technically than Marty

    3) YJM is still touring. Marty isn't. He'd rather be a talkshow host

  • @chillichomper I'm sorry, i have to disagree, as much as yngwie is one of my heroes, he's in no way more technical friedman, and marty IS still writing and does small tours in japan. (with good reason too, think about expenses here, marty's gonna be flying all over the place spending ridiculous amounts of $ and to what? maybe a crowd of 30-or-so people in the know?). marty uses far more intricate lines and progressions than malmsteen, a lot of cacophony was marty, that was way ahead of yngwie.

  • @HaohmaruOfTheWind marty and yngwie is 2 diffrent kinds of guitarists love them both

    yngwie is uniqe and marty also dont compare them bust must edmit marty and jason in cacophony was dammn good speed metal sy,fhony must be one of the best neoclassical metal songs in history

  • @HaohmaruOfTheWind metal is one of different kind of the great world of ROCK MUSIC. yes, i know it is different from classic rock, or pop rock,... but metal is part of the great family of the ROCK MUSIC.

  • Mats Levén did a great job on that album!

  • yngwie.......king of guitar...

  • yngwieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeee

  • idem

  • same old shit happened... after 1992 all the bands have turned down their drum beats sound

  • The chorus of this reminds me of the chorus in Stratovarius Eagleheart. But then Timo Tolkki is clearly very influenced by Yngwie...

  • @stiltonchees lol yeah i hear it too. you could kind of hear the similarity in the opening guitar parts too.

  • @DioandMaiden Yeah, Well Tolkki being super influenced by Yngwie along with Jens Johanssen being in the band, I suppose it was bound to happen with one song or another, both are great songs though.

  • I feel so good listening this !!! Masterpiece!!!

  • million dollar song,ten dollar video.

  • @velocity80 haha =D

  • anybody who says all Yngwie's music sounds the same should have their pulse and brainwaves checked!!!!

  • i luv dis song..........it means a lot to me

    God bless...Malmsteen and to all da brothers out there

  • wtf

  • Hilariously crap video, great song and one of the most perfect solos I've ever heard :D

  • If you pay close attention, you can see at a Jonas Brothers concert, well...the Jonas Brothers with their heavy make up and keratins while at the back of them in the dark are normally 3 guys sweating their asses playing thier crap music...

  • My favorite Malmsteen's singer (Vescera - Boals - Turner - Soto - Bonnet - Goran - Leven - Doogie) except Ripper Owen's cause his voice's SUCK & SICK!!

  • yawn

  • I agree that the clip stinks. But saying bad things bout the song? heh no matter how much you can say bad things bout yngwie he won't fall...

  • I love Yngwie, I started to play guitar because I wanted to play his songs. But god... WHY he made such horrible video clip! haha, It doesn't even fit the song... : )

  • haha yngwies little cat scratchin a poll technique 1:50 - 1:53 hahaha look at his face! what a legend

  • It was Ritchie's famous playing.

  • Yngwie is king, sure he can go on auto pilot but he has written some amazing songs and you try and get your shredding to sound that clean

  • @richieismyhero - lol, a huge Yngwie fan myself I absolutely loved your analogy of him going on "auto pilot" :D - that cracked me up. Thanks for the best laughs on a rather hungover day :) - when you are that good like Yngwie is, going on autopilot is easy and tempting doing those 200 gigs a year :D

  • lol

    id like 2 see you play that solo asshole

  • @efilnikufesin922 maybe he can't but it's not only speed.... when you play the guitar you must feel something really special... go listen "Brothers" or "Like an angel".. or "Blue" ... these songs are from Yngwie and have much more feeling... but some ohter songs suck...

  • i completely agree

    but i would say this song has lots of feel all thru out the song

  • Guess What I Recorded The Worst Guitar Song Ever

  • bad video, like old 80's style -____- but Yngwie Malmsteen music is so cool

  • Man, almost all is just shred with no feeling. I'm here thinking on what he could do in the solo to get more feeling but he just do shreds and shreds. well.. he maybe know what he did and that probably have a motive.

    sorry for mistakes: Brazilian

  • agree

  • get a life! sucker!

  • i agree with you. the people can give us thumbsdown but in reality just playing as fast as you can doesnt make a solo good

  • For all of the Yngwie bashing that goes on, no one has emerged to knock him over, and no, becker doesnt even come close. I have seen Yngwie 7 times, and each time, is a new expereince. Is he repetitve? Oh yeah. However he is the original. As for becker...I can eat beckers lunch. Yngwie really is as good as they say. Not because of his speed. There are plenty of faster pickers. He is the original.

  • @TimGuitarTaylor I m sorry to tell you but no one eats Becker for lunches except God himself maybe

  • @Thomasgipsy I never said he eats any particular player for lunch. What I said was, MOST players...Great player? HELL YES!!! Better than Yngwie? Maybe. Not in my book but maybe. your post implies something I did not say.

  • such a rip off of Freedom Call, i dont care how good the musicians may be, its still very unoriginal

  • Mats! _O_

  • Yng is good guitarist, but Becker eats him for a breakfast :)

  • It's pretty neat that in 97 yngwie can still do the good old 80's style metal. :)

  • Dude jason becker sucks. He hasn't done anything that marty didn't tell em to do.

  • im pretty sure the opening lick is from the beethoven and blues video jason becker did, and also very similar to the guitar lick steve vai uses in liberty, weird eh, i love all those guiatr players that know how to fire up the crowd.

  • Yngwie is so precise.

  • I remember the Late Great Cozy Powell Played Drums on This Album. It's also one of My Favorites.

  • I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that Stratovarius almost completely took this song's Melody for their song "Eagleheart" ...I am a fan of Strato but there's almost no way that's just a coincidence.

  • this is hilarious

  • hilariously AWESOME TO THE MAX

  • proof that the guitarmaster can write a good song accessible to the masses! Which many who followed him in the 80's STILL can't do.

  • Exactly!!!!! well said!!

  • Great and amazing album....r.i.p. Cozy!

  • Nagyon jó dal!

    Az Yngwie Malmsteen dalok egyik legjobb énekese ez a fickó...nagyon jó érces hangja van!

  • talent only other guitar players can dream of hail malmsteen

  • fucking great the best

  • Wow. I actually like this. Great song Yngwie! Bravo!

  • Comment removed

  • Oh man, minus Cozy Powell. i would love to see him with Yngwie side by side. May be the reason why this clip is so 60's because minus Cozy Powell

  • fuck I'm tired of any mention of dragonforce on every youtube vids...yes I like Dragonforce but I'm not like oh yeah dragonforce fucking own everyone like come on just listen to the song instead of acting like fucking bitches, End of Rant sorry for guys who have the same common knowledge but to the idiots come on Damn it just fucking

  • no offense but have u you heard dragonforce live they are pretty damn awful

  • that's your opinion man but i don't really care, besides i hardly listen to Dragonforce these days now

  • Nice video and beautiful song. Great

  • Bad clip but awesome song

  • I love this song. Yngwie Malmsteen is Awesome :)

  • "THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE FLAMES WE CARRY ON!!!....oh wait i mean SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE IM LIVIN A DREAM....." - yeah rate boo then idc.

  • Be quiet... lol

    Yeah, Dragonforce totally ripped the lyrics off. They suck =/

  • Is that the singer from Dragonforce?!?! ROFL

  • this vid is more camp than a row of pink tents, but i still think the facing the animal album which this song is off is yngwie's best songwriting so far. the guitar and the song seem to be on a level playing field, instead of constantly spanking the plank like on some albums

  • OMG...You guys are dumb..He's just talking about tapping that blondes ass..lol Jk..Yeah stupid vid. but, I like the song. Just because Im an Yngwie fan.

  • what doesnt have references to christianity? show me one vid!

  • I practice with one of his picks while hoping some of his magic will rub off but, Im sad to say it doesnt seem to be working...lol

  • LFMAO!

  • haha i love this video, it just shows how ingenious yngwie is hahaha

  • I agree with flakevee...this is rock..not jonas brothers and OMG they once said miley cirus is rock

  • I never noticed before, but steve Vai's "Liberty" has the same opening lick. LOL learn somthin new every day on the tube!

  • Is this what it has come to?

    Malmsteen is now playing state fairs?

  • He doesnt play state fairs in Japan and Europe. Americans just would rather listen to crap than a guy thats totally dedicated to music..They would rather listen to Pink, and shit like Brittney Spears..I like the fact that I can see him at a small venue and actually be able to get to the stage and watch the show!

  • agree ..100%

  • @bobtaint that's Britney "Oops I Blew It Again" Spears! LOL

  • @bobtaint Yeah man you're definitely right. But its not entirely fair to generalize all Americans like that because there is still a good scene for metal acts here, as well as millions of guitar players who do still appreciate Yngwie.

  • i want some crackers to go with this cheese. the guy can play, there's no doubt, but what a douche!

  • $0.00 budget.

    I'm guessing that Yngwie directed this video himself.

  • ahahhahahahahahha

  • Amazing comment verry funy manLOLLLLLLL but its true

  • I guess ^^

  • Happy birthday yngwie !

  • Oh, yeah June 30th, today is his birthday.

  • amazing

  • we should get back that type of rock / metal . no jonas brothers,chemical romance,damn..

  • Yngwie always made cheezy videos.

    On stage that's where Yngwie let's everyone know that his da shit!

  • i agree, although i dont think that the forever one video is to bad

  • 1:52 is probably the sexiest moment you will ever see in your life.

  • KAJkjkAJKajakjakJAK

  • Yngwie's Solo FTW everything else sucked!

  • wow that wasnt at all cheesey

  • Ridiculous videoclip!

  • Yeah!

  • Yo!

  • Videoclip is the shit, but what a voice! Mats Levén rules!

  • qué video de mierda, pero muy buena canción

  • punk sucks, slipknot sucks, distrurbed sucks, dragonforce sucks, only old stuff is good.

  • i agree but what i wanna say is that akon,britney,little wayne,milley cyrus,rap,pop and hip hop SUCK...i don't listen to disturbed or slipknot but i TOTALLY agree that 60's-90's rock RULES...

  • miley cyrus is awesome i love her

  • great song!! yngwie the best

  • He uses a bunch of different scales actually - pentatonic, harmonic minor, melodic minor, chromatic (a lot more recently), minor, major... he basically uses everything.

    And he fuses them seamlessly. So melodic... a master. This solo is excellent. The song is a little ballad-y. So what? I like it. :)

  • I'm from the US and the state of music in this country is sick that's why I listen to music outside it! Yngwie is my favorite though I would'nt change him he is my favorite he is in A world all by himself!!

  • You could look at it like that, but I prefer my way of looking at it -

    Look how much this guy has done with just " 1 scale ". I bet you could never do that. :D

  • Steve Vai rulez ...xD

  • JAJAJAJAJA, wow you really don't know a shit about music =D

  • beautiful singer and wonderful yngwie

  • yeah its a piss poor song.yngwie's best album was odessy

  • nice song

  • lol

  • Yngwie is da BEST!!

  • malmsteen is my god

  • che video di m....

  • This song is amazing.

  • the best song malmsteens for me!

  • It was his most commercially sounding album, rather than the neoclassical sound to most of his other recordings.

  • This is th way that Power metal should sound!

  • its neo classical... not power metal

  • loool

  • where does Yngiew Malmsteen buy his clothes from?

  • Yngwie designs his own clothes

  • lol.

  • no i understand everything

  • Facing The Animal was Yngwie's most "commercial" album, with a very wide appeal. Everything flows so well here.

  • Luviz, Where is this  Yngwies' most commercial lp? certainly not in the states

  • And what are the states bro..??The center of the universe??There are many brilliant artists out of the states...but you guys are too brainwashed to know what happens in the outside world..!!!

  • lero; I wasn't brainwashed! And I know what's going on in the rest of theworld...

    Why don't you travel outside of Greece,my friend? Maybe you'd gain a new outlook on life...!

    I was reffering to the fact that Yngwie Malmsteen lives in the US!..Why hasn't the nets' answer to Tor bashed you yet,you troll!

  • Ok man..I was harsh..anyway even trolls have rights in this living..I wish you luck..!!

  • amazing

  • This solo was unusually good I think! I mean, I always preferred the older stuff from the first albums, but his tone here was incredibly smooth and he didnt follow his typical phrygian scales as strictly as he sometimes does. As always, incredibly executed bends and vibrato, but some cool legato sounding runs too, way cool!

  • ahh..ok!! i remember it.. it's from

    FACING THE ANIMAL album! ROCK!!
