Alcatrazz & Malmsteen - Since You've been gone

[eastwoodize]

should be in ´84 so yngwie was 21

[szymonwoj1]

I saw them live yesterday, as a support to whitesnake, I was impressed how well they performed

[Evster2012]

Someone remember Steeler with Ron Keel! Still got the vinyl!

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

yngvie looks like he is ready to jam with Accept!!

[shredmaster100]

aria guitars are fucking great but very hard to find for sale in the uk and it looks like it helped yngwie play this song at normal speed for once instead of 300000000beats a second he does suck badly today why didnt he just stick with this band instead of ruining his career with his classical crap look at ritchie blackmore the same thing happened to him he was with the 1 of the best rock bands in the world then left and fucked up his career rainbow with dio was good after that he sucks

[OutOfOrderBerlin]

@shredmaster100 yeah i just can agree with you....i've got a aria since last year....a perfect guitar though its nearly 20 years old....the pick-ups are perfect...way better than the guitars today are produced....

[holveragtz]

what brand of guitar is that!?!?!

[HalalKafir]

@holveragtz It's an Aria - Yngwie had an endorsement deal w/ them for a brief time while he was w/ Alcatrazz before he got hooked up with Fender.

[MrStarlight1980]

@holveragtz it is a Aria Pro II XX Deluxe with Maple Neck and Scalloped Fretboard!

[shamansharvest96]

ive never heard yngwie play a song that wasnt shredding the whole time

[H057IL3]

Graham is the heavy metal version of Rick Astley.

[ifoundsage]

@H057IL3 Does that mean we can start "Graham Bonnet rolling" unsuspecting viewers? :) A much better alternative!

[H057IL3]

@ifoundsage "Grahamrolling"? Hah! I like it!

[Zhaggysfaction]

@vivaimaiden

Type "yngwie malmsteen gibson", hit search and see what happens...

[danstortion]

An Aria Pro II, funny...

[ratboy82]

@vivaimaiden It's an Aria Pro 2, he was sponsored by them and someone proably forced him to use one atleast once. Note that he ripped the bumbuckers out and inserted single coils into the gaping humbucker space.

Alcatrazz was also sponsored by NIKE for a tour, probably this one, there's a photo taken on one of the live albums, can't find it, where they're all standing in a ring and photographing their feet, everyone featuring NIKE shoes except Yngwie ofcourse, snake skin boots as usual.

[beroth77]

@kdord220 WHEN HIS IN TUNE,HE'S REALLY GREAT,THE PROBLEM IS THAT HE INSISTED IN SINGING TO HIGH AND FREQUENTLY GOT IN TROUBLE FOR IT WHEN HE SINGS IN JUST ALITTLE LOWER KEY HE IS AWESOME

[fraterlucifer888]

yngwie could play a plastic toy ukelele and make it epic

[drewarnie]

at the first 30 seconds i keep trying not to think that the vocalist is jim carrey.

[Valeriushansson2]

@drewarnie It´s not Jim Carrey, it´s Max Headroom.

[raunchboy]

@Valeriushansson2 I thought it was Huey Lewis lol

[gruffmusic]

Yngwie with a V!

[faithandpractice]

Wow, he use to be thin, or medium at least.

[witchman1]

Thanks to Richie the singer and malmtard got credit for a cover.

[coolengine2000]

@witchman1 oh yes richie blackmore is a great guitarplayer and one of the best rocksongwriters ever yngwie need to pay credit to richie sure malmsteen is faster and heavier but i prefer blackmore

[Liturgyofwar]

Love when Yng goes MAJOR

[Liturgyofwar]

@vivaimaiden

Haha check out Pyramid of Cheops from the Budokan show then

[whatshendrix]

@kdord220

Ok, psycho...

[darkangel13131313]

19-years Yngvie playing with such an ease... looks, like he was born with guitar in his hand :D

[whatshendrix]

@kdord220

Type "diarrhea" in Wikipedia...

You were saying, dipshit?

[Me7aLfAn]

@whatshendrix Actually, it's spelled diarrhoea and pronounced [,daiə'riə] :)

[whatshendrix]

@Me7aLfAn

There we go again... Both spellings are correct, but "diarrhea" is a lot more popular. Some spell check testers even consider it to be the only correct spelling.

The moral of the story is this - I'm right and you're wrong. Why don't you people google your shit before you talk back?! lol

[whatshendrix]

@kdord220

It makes me wish I can send diarrhea down his good for nothing throat.

[tbarragan29]

great song...look how skinny yngwie is...ha ha...

[TheTim1007]

Graham is a monster vocalist with malmsteen nothing better 

[conchitinaable]

@TheTim1007

I agree with you

[1QuikTransAm]

LOL It's Jim Carey

[GuitarPerser]

I hate the singer!

[JEZFLYNN]

is that an Aria Vee ?

[HIROKITAJUKU]

最高

[bammramm]

[bammramm]

Rosa-Rosas-Spain -1986

[PontyAl]

he's always tried to copy Schenker

[NisseEricsson]

Yngwie is GOD, or at least was god. Nowadays he can´t make music like he used to do in the 80s.

[tempofreak69]

What's with the flying v copy? Get a Gibson, Malmsteen.

[satch077]

hahaha...yeah, you're right.XD but i love his playing

[tmwnat]

Ahhh...Before Yngwie discovered how much he loved cheeseburgers

[jackstroem1324]

hahahh funny i have never sen him with a flying V

[jcallseven]

@tmwnat nah cinnamon donuts from ikea

[Flickerstruck]

More bass.

[stefo213]

The Brian May band did the best cover of this song...

[PoffyTheCucumber]

@stefo213 - Actually, even Brian May's version of SINCE YOU BEEN GONE (re-titled Since You've Been Gone) is simply a "cover" of Ritchie Blackmore's version. Russ Ballard wrote the song (with a slightly different arrangement), so that makes RITCHIE'S version "the best cover" because everyone who covers the song covers HIS arrangement! But I do accede that Brian May kicks the song some new guts. I man-love *both* guitarists.

[stefo213]

@PoffyTheCucumber That's what i say..brian may's version is just a cover.Read the mutha fuckin' post please...peace.

[CPettybone1]

Actually this song was originally done by Russ Ballard. If you like the song check out Russ ballard here on youtube you might like it. I Do love this version though, and Rainbows as well!

[TheBrian2517]

One Thing I Noticed About The Differences Between Yngwie J Malmsteen And Steve Vai Is That Malmsteen Has A Heavier Sound And Vai Produces More Of A Classic Tone When He Plays. I Like Both Guitarists.

[silentboy85]

this is so not yngwie song. LOL

[tReatCrow]

Bonnet Power !

[mralex2387]

WTF flying V? thats weird !!

[hamerexploreremd]

whoa!!! yngwie isnt playign a strat!!!

[Ultimateguitarmanrc]

one more thing i really dont think that is yngwie because the song is catchy u know u can listen to it and enjoy yourself thats just my opionion

[Ultimateguitarmanrc]

man my dad was right they were cool jeezus the 70's and 80's were soooo badass

[paganini1689]

!!!!ALCATRAZ RAINBOW!!!!!!!

[longdrive67]

Great song great band saw Alctarazz, jeez, 24 years ago now I guess at he Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, also have the Steeler Album signed by the band !

[dudewheresmylespaul]

Its Clint Eastwood singin'!

[gt5268]

What a voice!!!! Graham Bonet is amazing!!!

[janderson2000]

Seeing Yngwie with anything but a strat looks unnatural

[1kydde2]

lol! yeah yngwie always was "big on solos, short on songs" but he is still a god

[1kydde2]

Fuck all the shit metal like Job For A Cowboy that is coming out today this is REAL METAL. YNGWIE IS GOD (plus he owns like all metal guitarists from today)

[rudymuth]

Job For A Cowboy Fucken Rules LOSER!!!!!!!!!

[1kydde2]

lol WRONG!!! JFAC is shit Deathcore (mostly anything with a core attached blows cock) they play like two highly detuned chords, with no guitar solos sucky gay vocals and shit songs. U ever wonder why people call them "Blowjob for a Cowboy" hmmm? CAUSE THEY BLOW!!!! In the end they are essentially scene music Alcatrazz, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and numerous other 80's metal bands (as well as thrash bands like metallica and megadeth) are the real deal. JOB FOR A COWBOY SUCKS U LITTLE SCENE KID!

[AngilasGuy]

Hey, I'm all about the classics, but this particular song is NOT metal. It's rock.

[perpetual61]

I love the guitar player! go yngwie !!

[jem10th]

Looks like his idol is James Dean :D

[dudewheresmylespaul]

That gotta be Clint Eastwoods twin brother'1

[yulbrenner]

Graham, in his day, could blow any metal singer out of the water. His look in the 80's was perfect!

[shunyo]

oh yeah! Yngwie uses Flying V!

[Hellrippersguitarist]

not properly...I think it is a custom Carvin...

[shunyo]

I see,thought it was like custom Flying-V

[WouterJ]

Nope, it's an Aria Pro2 XX. Malmsteen was an Aria Pro 2 endorser.

[Hellrippersguitarist]

I know he was an aria pro 2 endorser, but if you look at the headstock it is slightly different from the Aria Pro 2 headstock...I'm pretty sure it is a Carvin, the headstock is the same and it also seems to be written above..

[Hellrippersguitarist]

forgiet me...I 've taken a look to the Aria Pro 2 headstocks, and theyr'e right the same as this Malmsteen..this is finally an Aria Pro 2..sorry

It is anyway a custom guitar, because it has a maple neck, the pick ups are different from the stock ones, it is white and it has a tremolo bar, which the original guitar doesn't have..just beautiful..I cant's see if it is scalloped, but I don't think...well, it seems to be not, but I can't see..

[ryanguitarman]

DUDE!!!

Bonnett looks exactly like early clint eastwood!

[cast390]

Looks more like a young Jim Carrey

[malicious199]

graham just got outta bed =P lmao !

[sweetmelodies89]

that was fucking eargasm! I love the early stuff with Malmsteen! so much enegry kicking some serious ass!

[helloshorne000]

Hell Yeah

[plasticPlaystation]

Yeah!

[Kragnorak]

Is Yngwie sad that he's only played with the 2nd-tier Blackmore singers and not Ian or Dio?

[thereagauze]

this was a big break for yngwie at the time, but this comment made me laugh.

[Kragnorak]

Don't worry, I kid because I care ;)

Perhaps one day Richie will let him wear Uli Jon Roth's panties!

[thereagauze]

how about uli's pimp hat?

[BenWGray]

Actually Yngwie has played with Ian before. You can find the vid on youtube.

[MikaelLV]

he did a song with dio

[Holterhaus]

wanting new friends

want to chat with singles 5w

[PXR05]

Nice, but you can`t beat Blackmore`s expressive, understated solo on this.

YM`s widdling is impressive on some level, but can be reductionist.

[NeoBarockLoki]

Superb amazing this song. I like the Alcatrazz version better because it's heavyer with Yngwie !

[Thizysztof]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!

[governorgilf]

Alcatrazz and Head East did the best versions of this song. I like Rainbow, but their studio version was dull. It's a great song, nonetheless. Yngwie should have kept playing this guitar and not used Strats. His tone is thicker and more defined with the humbucker here. His Strats sound thin and unintelligible at times.

[Kohntarkosz]

Watch the video again real close. This guitar has single coil pickups too. I don't think I've ever seen Yngwie using humbuckers. I remember seeing a photo of a customized Gibson Flying that he used later in the late 80's, with Strat pickups and a Floyd Rose.

[Thirdgen83]

I wish he WOULD use humbuckers...at least in the bridge-position. Nothing beats a single-coil for clean tones, but when overdrive distortion is used, a humbucker is the only way to go...

[OwnedRL]

yeah, except he's based his sound on single coils. he's basically the only shreddy guitarist who uses a single coil in the bridge. gilbert does though too actually on one of his firemans.

[cbond99]

Wow........Yngwie playing and Aria Pro and not a Fender....Now that is a rare sight!

[AstonMartin1192]

Maybe it's one of his favourites

[plinkytx]

Is it me or does Graham Bonnet record this song with every band he's been with? I remember hearing this on a Chris Impelliteri album as well.

[chainslap]

I like the studio version of this song. The guy in the salmon pants can't perform worth a shit..

[depailler80]

i love bonnet's hairpiece

[AriaGuitarsFans]

Nice Aria Pro II !

Rock On

[Sweedenlover]

Ok what guitar is Yngwie Using ..The exact model and everything and How Could I get a hold of it I cant find them anywhere?

[acdcufo]

el rey de la flying-V es sin discusión Michael Schenker

[LudvigAlm]

pero malmsteen toca una stratocaster en la mayoría de los casos...

(just trying my spanish)

[badbrian1]

Gary Shea on bass, a true Rock Star!!

[Richard7901]

This yewie fella, the young kid with the log hair, next to that old greaser bonnie someone. Well the kids got not touch, speed freak, tricktastic but where is the light and shade, subtle touch old favourite nutter richie blackmore ay? ? Complete idiot though he is, richie's touch and sense of melody urinates over the young wiggie what ever you call him, boy. x

[McbrainisgoD]

shut the fuck up retard..learn english imo...Fucking moron!!

[DirkjeA]

Well that is realy good english you have wrote down here.....

[arminius1453]

This is really funny. Everytime I read this I laugh my ass off. Do you seriously mean this? it seems like a perfect satire of a hillbilly retarded idiotic moron.

If you're impersonating, congratulations.

[Richard7901]

Always attempt to be witty dear boy, avoid Youtube commenting usually but you know when the moon is full, theres an offer on Tesco's finest Chateau Neuf de Pape its all a laugh really. arminius1453. It does wind up people though.

Like that bloke on your video not getting smashed with the tray. Very funny. I like it when someone like McbrainisgoD replys....ouch! Retard ha! According to the latest version of the Oxford English Dictionary it says, I quote "Retard: Definition: Sarah Palin"

[arminius1453]

You missed the main lesson from McbrainisgoD's post: LEARN ENGLISH!

What are you talking about? Chateau, the moon, Palin??? You still make no sense! This is more creepy than funny now. Stay away from society, weirdo.

[Richard7901]

TWAT

easier for you ?

oh wealth of knowledge that you are, may we all bask in the sun as it shines from your arse. Was that still not English enough for you?

Obviously where ever you live doesnt have A. Red Wine from France, B. The Moon OR C. a knowledge of the US Elections so because of that I have to learn English.........!!??.....

nao engraçado anymore

xxxxxxxxxx

[DirkjeA]

Again, it is funny, and someone who does not know the pleasure of a good Chateau Neuf du Pape is missing something out in life....

P.S. Even this dutch lady understands what you are talking about!! and it makes me smile againg behind my keybord reading your comment, btw, even without a nice bottle of red wine.

[DirkjeA]

You are so funny, I might not agree with you, but you have a way of putting things that makes me smile behind my keyboard.

BTW I too think this song is much better by Richie Blackmore, nutter he is.....

[Richard7901]

thank you for your wise words x

[DirkjeA]

You are most welcome, let us raise a glass and drink on good music and funny comments.

[McbrainisgoD]

Any fender is better...

[djteac]

WTF, is he really playing a Flying V ?

[rr0222]

yeah , right , a flying V

an aria pro II

i had one ever

[level4paperboy]

holy crap! i've never seen an aria pro II- V before...i bet he later on chucked it for a strat...ol

[kahuna390]

he probably throw it of stage, rock and roll

[iapiaya]

BY this time Yngwie had a deal with..Polygram by this time..He was probably just mocking mister center of attention Graham Bonnet...Heheh..

[mattrockcrazy]

during live sentence he was 20 21 years old

[evelskunny]

THE Rainbow Studio version is way better,yngwie is great though,the guitar is way better looking,than any fender he's played.

[evelskunny]

that guitar looks like An Aria Pro II,BY THE HEADSTOCK

[motorhell13]

Uno de los mas grandes guitarristas de la historia,junto con uno de los mas grandes vocalistas de siempre,alcatrazz auntenticos dioses del rock n`roll.

[spareflair]

It's an Aria Pro II White Thunderbolt XX Deluxe guitar

[msscarlettdivine]

a flying v?

[megahdeth]

easy he is playing a aria pro flying v guitar , if your talking about a guitar of course

[likesspice73]

interesting version, but not as good as he did with rainbow

[Sapov]

thanks for the comments! i will correct the title, sry for my english

[clesterrific]

Max Headroom nooooooo!!!!!!!

[NeoBarockLoki]

Amazing ! But, the song is called "Since You've been gone" and this is from the "Live Sentence" live album. And Yngwie was about 19 year old and with Steeler was kinda 18-19 year old. Amazing !

[Sapov]

thanks! i will add the info.

[iceddust69]

malmsteen is awesome. this song sucks though. and Graham sucks as well. Michael Bolton can sing this song better than this guy can...

[eviltwin47]

how did you get malmsteen to play chords so long

[theaxis2000]

great song but ummm graham...do you have to record it with every band your in? i mean, ive got this one, rainbow, MSG and impelliteri...

[joecarvin]

The song's called "Since you've BEEN gone"

[McbrainisgoD]

GOD!!!!!!!!!!

[mikey2122]

Alcatrazz was ok, I like Ynwie With Steeler!!!!!!!!!!!! He was only 15 yrs old!

[Lossaavedra]

Pretty good song! that band was amazing!

[defecate30877]

GUYS shut up!!! just enjoy the music..

[artnaz]

Hahaha! You're very funny... Being that naive and still yelling that shit...

You live happy in your Malmsteen-World

[artnaz]

But ok, if you don't know Blackmore well enough and just shout that your Malmsteen is everything, I don't want to help you out of your dream...

[artnaz]

I really like Malmsteen, he really has some good songs. But I literally fall asleep when he comes with his monotone solo's... And to say that Malmsteen "is everything Blackmore couldn't be" is something to laugh about. Blackmore has made and is making for more that 40 years top class music. Can't say that of Malmsteen, can you? Smoke On The Water, Child In Time, Black Night, , Stargazer, Since You Been Gone, Hush, Perfect Strangers...

[artnaz]

Your argumentation is horrible... My last words:

I may be a copycat, but I'm not a rock star who has almost identical guitar as Blackmore, and who plays about 10 Blackmore songs. Malmsteen himself says he's a huge fan of Blackmore, and prove him wrong. But still he's copying so many songs of Blackmore, and not with any improvement. He just puts his up and down scales everywhere to show his abbilities.

[artnaz]

What are you talking about?! Blackmore is still doing great with Blackmore's Night. Malmsteen is a copycat with only a few good own songs.

And if Blackmore would be "dying for attention", is this an argument that Malmsteen is everything that Blackmore couldn't be???

[artnaz]

Like what? Playing the harmonic minor scale strictly up and down without missing a note?

Well great...

[Sunedosa]

Its a Aria flying v,he was briefly sponsored by them (the first edition of his solo album only released in japan had a poster with him and a Aria pro 2 lp wich was pulled for the later releases since the sponsorship ended )

[siggeson2]

since you been gone!

bonnet is a fucking geek. look at him. the clothes and he´s "dance" on the 2 chorus. it´s a shame!

Bonnet was the worst singer in Rainbow

[belupov]

jelow

[gmg1970]

How old was Malmsteen? which year this was performed?

[IronBrutzler]

thats cool Malmsteen with a "V" ^^

[artnaz]

Since You Been Gone. A shame Malmsteen is a copycat of Blackmore (he got almost the identical guitar and plays about 10 songs of Blackmore). But hey, who doesn't want to become like Blackmore:-P

[gonzo44]

its since you been gone

[foeburner]

BTW It's Since You've been gone

[Lukone80]

yes

[Sapov]

But Malmsteen kick ass too!

[RazorBMWM3]

Awesome! This video kicks major ass!!!! So bad it was Malmsteen playin...( n not Blackmore )
