[ogrejd]

I'm really gonna have to look up some of Soto's other stuff to see if his work with Malmsteen's just a fluke or if it's a shame that he's never brought up when talk comes around to the great vocalists of metal...

[TheAntihero6212]

Thumbs up if you think the moment from 4:01-4:15 is one of the greatest outros in rock history.

[pistache7]

@TheAntihero6212 It's called a decrescendo i think.

[TheAntihero6212]

Three people have, in fact, died.

[TheAntihero6212]

JEFF SCOTT SOTO FTW!!!!!!!

[MrSardanapalo1]

My favourite malmesteen's song! Scotto Soto rulez!

[MultiDaGuy]

better than Sungha Jung at least:)

[guitarspectre]

Tony Macalpine has similar rocks

[bobtheatog]

@XMenGoneMetal Just a song title (I hope) Nothing to get worked up about dude. Although Malmsteen is THAT good. Might of sold his soul to play like that... haha. Nah, Practice makes Yngwie dude

[MrYngwie88]

yngwie är bara bäst 

[diarsadwipayana]

i hear it again!!! thx for posting it.... just like old times.

Surakarta 1989

[darthvapir]

so then maybe he's a reptillian shapeshifter he is just about unworldy good..

[PutItAway101]

Epic song but terrible drum sound. Bass and snare sound like tapdancing and tambourine

[HeavyMetalViking89]

I gave my mother this album for chritmas when I found out she was an Yngwie-fan.

I ended up listening to it more than she did. It's so awesome, and Yngwie is amazing

[Oesquartejador]

i've never got it perfect!!! the last part befor the repetition on the solo... i had it with about 0,5s delay... and that was the last thing i ever tryed to play... the tab is in YM's website

[TheKobybryant24]

2.05 one of the most fucking epic moment in the world of music !

[rajz5]

check out cobtv part 2

[mario64PKmetalhead]

@rajz5 I recognised that when i heard the song lol i was like ''HOLY SHIT!! it's...this song!''

[MrYngwie88]

jeff and yngwie was the best 

[crapzors]

Who is the one dumbfuck who downvoted one of the greatest songs ever made?

[AlthizzleCA]

:D



[CptEgon]

Who the hell don't like this song?????

[TruckDrivinShredder7]

Yngwie Malmsteen is truly one of the greatest guitar players ever and the godfather/king of shred guitar

[superalexanderimjihy]

one of my favorites, thanks for upload

[MetalMistress888]

Awesome song. So classical, so metal.

[Soap22nd]

Yngwie is the one ... nobody Can Do The Same Things with a Stratocaster ... but if you listen to WALTER GIARDINO may recognize much of Malsmteen in him, and this is not found in other great players like Jason Becker, janick gers or marty friedman...

[LLeo53]

Soto is pure killer ! And Malmsteen, god ... Best moment from 0:00 to 4:40.

[perpetual61]

Yngwie J Malmsteen Born Lars Johann Yngve Lannerback. The Best thing to come from Sweden.

[MrYngwie88]

@perpetual61 i live in sweden lol where are the neoclassical bandmebbers where do i sign up

[infectionsman]

@MrYngwie88 i would also like to know!

[phrygianlydian]

Best guitarist ever, very inspirational. My favourite artist of all time. Had to learn the solo part when I heard it. Left the vai stuff for ages when I came across Yngwie.

[maruyo94]

NO!!! ,ME PARTE EL CRANEO .......MALMSTEEN SOS UNA BESTIA!!!

[nmbp1]

@maruyo94 english por favor senior. mucais gracias amigo.

[nmbp1]

Cant stop lovin' the diminised arpeggio work. yet I will tell the truth. YJM wrote classical pieces comparable to Bach & Moz---I wonder if Rhodes would have followed in his foot steps. YJM plays boroque pieces(that he wrote that r amazing)[top knoch] actually a better sounding player than Dimeola(who is far better than everyone even rhoads) and far before rhoads--Im sorry its just that rhoads couldnt play classical, he wrote some stuff yet it wasnt boroque. Also rhd couldnt play that well. Peace

[cletisevans1]

five hundred bottles of beer on the wall,row row your boat and mary had a little lamb.the song started out at four hundred and ninty nine because someone stole a beer and drank it.jingle bells batman smells,the slower you play guitar the faster you can speed up the recording without it sounding like chipmunks on cr@ck.

[cletisevans1]

Ozzy's S.A.T.O. and Mr. Crowley and Metallica's Whiplash,Black Sabbath's Hole In The Sky,Iron Maiden's Flight Of Icarus and Phantom of the Opera,the end of the Mayan calendar,Van Halen's Jamie's Cryin and Runnin With The Devil/row row your boat and mary had a little lamb,Areosmith

[SanDiegoDrunkBastard]

who give a !@#%$ who makes better albums we all came here to listen to HIS music so stfu and enjoy

[nmbp1]

@SanDiegoDrunkBastard your right about one thing were all here to enjoy it. The internet just gives inmature people the right to WRITE whatever they want sadly enough.

[ibaneziano]

Who was the asshole that disliked this CMON MAN!

[hellownslayer]

yes Randy and yngwie were the same in a lots of ways. I love ozzy but he never replaced Randy . even with zack. I hate zack he did made a joke of randy songs ruined them malmsteen would not he could play them like randy.

[41jarse]

The instrumental break in this song is why I always say Yngwie is a musical genius..No one else out there did anything even remotely close to this at the time,or even now..The guy is not of this earth..So fluid and brilliant. A true original..

Love the organ solo at the beginning as well..

[ibaneziano]

@41jarse YESS!

[MrYngwie88]

is this the best neo classcal metal album in the world the neoclassical bible

thumbs uo if you agreeeeeeeeee

yngwieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[TheMindfx]

CATERVA!

[blackmetalrockdeath]

best part 2:04 - 3:00

i heard it million times and still feel "its awesome".

[dadas360]

Beautiful!

[68nevets68]

"Vai's basically a one-trick pony, but all he really has is speed. "

About the dumbest thing I've even heard said about Vai or any other guitarist. Malmsteen and Vai -- outside of being able to play very fast at times -- are completey different in their approach and musical depth. Like comparing Steve Morse to EVH, or Satriani to Jarzombek even. If all you hear in Vai is speed, you need to maybe stick to Guitar Hero or drums as you have a tin ear and no musical soul at all. Seriously.

[nalgon99]

I saw them on the G 3 tour and yes Vai blew Malmsteen away. Vai is classically trained and if you listen to all of his albums which I have even the rare demos you can hear the classical influences on some of his pieces. Via is not of this world.

[nalgon99]

I believe Steve Via is the best guitarist period. He has taken his playing WAY out of the box with both speed and technique unmatched by anyone else.

[Sidragrosm]

@nalgon99 Vai's basically a one-trick pony, but all he really has is speed. He's sorely lacking when it comes to classical skill, (like Malmsteen) or in terms of variety (like Eric Johnson), or artistry (like Satriani). The aforementioned 3 are the real masters - equal but different. Vai, for all his speed, isn't fit like their feet.

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

Jeff. Scott. Soto.

[mikeusat]

Funniest lyrics ever...."There's a hole in the sky, but don't ask me why cause I don know"

"I will never die cause I will fly to the other side"

lol

[TheAntihero6212]

@mikeusat Well, with all due respect, what else could you expect? After all, Yngwie wrote the entire song by himself, including the lyrics. C'mon, man, it's all about the guitar work with him. Not the lyrics. If you really think about it, Yngwie is a worse lyricist than Nikki Sixx. ;-D

[Jamiebaker15]

@TheAntihero6212 Nikki Sixx is actually a very good lyricist look at Sixx AM

[erikakeita]

I love  this song. thanks for posting !!!

[NisseEricsson]

Fucking best guitarist ever. Nobody could touch Yngwie in 1978-1990, NOBODY.

[marcg1z28]

@NisseEricsson  You Forget about Randy Rhoads. Totally Different Style But if Randy Had Lived...Would Of been great to see

[DanskeSange]

@NisseEricsson Who can now?

[NisseEricsson]

@DanskeSange Paul Gilbert makes better albums than Yngwie nowadays, and that is a fact.

[ibaneziano]

@NisseEricsson STRAIGHT UP!

[bobika366]

@NisseEricsson Ritchie can

[MrYngwie88]

@bobika366 i like more yngwie than ritchie bot both are good guitarists agree

[bobika366]

@NisseEricsson Ritchie can eat him anytime he wants,he could then he can now

but,fuck opinions just enjoy the music right ?

[MrYngwie88]

@NisseEricsson not even me lol

[CrazyEiche]

@NisseEricsson check out jason becker dude

[TerrorizerGrindspeed]

@NisseEricsson ? his first album came out in 84 lol

[NisseEricsson]

@TerrorizerGrindspeed So? I have heard demos from 1978, when he was 15 years old. Incredibly, so many years before everyone.

And his first albums were released in 1983, "Steeler" and "No Parole From Rock n Roll", with Steeler and Alcatrazz.

[TerrorizerGrindspeed]

@NisseEricsson i knew about the 83 albums, but not his demos , damn dude are they on the internet or something lol

[NisseEricsson]

@TerrorizerGrindspeed Yeah, the demos from 1978 are called "Powerhouse" and the demos from 1980 are called "The Genesis", the Genesis was released on a record company in 2002, but Powerhouse is not from a record company. They are somewhat easy to find if you look for torrents. Good luck :)

[MrYngwie88]

@NisseEricsson i have both albums hehe

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

@NisseEricsson Jason Becker?

[XgiantXrectumX]

@HeavyMetalVagabond dam you beat me to it :P

[HeavyMetalVagabond]

@XgiantXrectumX hehehe. good to see a fellow fan! :)

[Giao1]

[ilovepantera97]

@NisseEricsson ritchie blackmore?

[superalexanderimjihy]

@NisseEricsson I do xd, but it took me 10 years of pure practice

[CollisionTheoryBand1]

@NisseEricsson

I think you're forgetting about Jason Becker

[MrSardanapalo1]

FLY OF ICARUS! BERLUSCONI FALL! ITALIA FIGHT AGAINST EVIL SPIRITS!

[mangaka08]

AnimaGt619@ Same here. It's one of his best.

[Wreckeningbassist666]

the people who think that this song is boring should be declared legally retarded.

[GRILLBUOY101]

i nicknamed this draculas revenge and i dont know why thats just what i use to call it cause of the organ in the intro.

[yngwiemalmsteen8]

yngwie fucking malmsteen

[cletisevans1]

hole in the sky black sabbath sold our souls for rock n roll motley crue smokin in the boys room,fight for your right[copyrite?]row row your boat ,iron madien flight of icarus, mary had a little lamb,cletis ray evans

[perpetual61]

This Album is The Bible of Neo-Classical Rock. In an interview Yngwie says that he was recording this while he was still with Alcatrazz. some time in 1984.

[NavyxSEALxGuy]

awesome song

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

The singing.. THE SINGING !!

[mutra6]

i cant get over how awesome this is

[mEtAlKiD5551]

orgasm at 2:36!!!!

[nmbp1]

yes it's Icarus' Dream(gotta love the typo)and yes the solo intro is great(what do you expect lol)[as above] yet my Fav. solo intro is from I'll see the light tonight. Beautiful, just beautiful.

[nmbp1]

Yngwie really is the best for too many reasons. Look...I've listened to all the real fast players yet they lack sound. Even paul gilbert said he cant write like yngwie-he loves yngwie-yngwie has written pieces comparable to Bach/Mozart. One piece is on this album in icuruses' dream.

[bloodmoonblooz]

This is one of his coolest solo intros he does, my favorite song by him is I am a Viking ( minus the cheesy lyrics! lol ).

[memmori1]

@bloodmoonblooz The lyrics in I am a Viking is possibly one of the most meaningful in Yngwie's works :)) I like this song too!

[bloodmoonblooz]

@memmori1 I think the lyrics wouldn't be so bad if they didn't contain parts like "I am a Viking and I'll walk all over you" that sounds like it was written by a 13 year old daydreaming about being a bad ass. I do agree its probably meaningful to Yngwie, but I think it could have been written better. (Not that I could have done any better :D). I think the guitar in this song is the "heaviest" sounding Strat I have ever heard, that's what I like.

[memmori1]

@bloodmoonblooz :)) And by my sword you will die!!! :))

In fact Yngwie was only 22 when the song was released and probably he still had a soul of 13 year old those days :) And since that he had dozens of more stupid texts, so I Am A Viking is a nice thoughtful thing anyway :)

[bloodmoonblooz]

@memmori1 Thanks man I got a good laugh out of that :D, and I needed one. I wish Yngwie would do a pure instrumental album and play slower more often to show off his harmonizing and melody better; and his VIBRATO. I love his vibrato on his slow stuff it's top shelf smooth.

[dime1046]

wow man...(sic) song...ive been looking everywhere 4 the studio version of this...awesome...thanks man

[naoaceitanenhumnome]

hahah

[AnimaGt619]

one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite yngwie albums
