  • sounds more like michael angelo batio than malmsteen

  • Gilbert comes out cocky when he does these things. He might be more educated and be a teacher in Hollywood and have practiced all kinds of genres for decades, but he's not an inventor in the same sense. The guitar geeks will go nuts on me for saying this.. TO ME Malmsteen is about tone and feeling the music. Purists will say the opposite though.

    You don't sound like Malmsteen just by playing harmonic minor fast.

  • @Oyhus I have to admit you're right. It the 3 stages of Yngwie: Yngwie seems really amazing at first, then you realize, "He's just playing Minor and Phrygian really fast, big deal," then you hear people try to imitate and they can't -- and you realize no one can play the way Yngwie does except Yngwie and you respect him again.

    He's no diverse musical genius like Frank Gambale nor has he the harmonic imagination of prog rockers like John Petrucci, but Yngwie owns his niche.

  • @Bigphatsu: I love you for that answer!

  • "Imitating" is all anyone can do. Yngwie is often accused of not having any depth or feeling which is quite incorrect. He emotes a great deal. On the other hand, I have never been "moved" by anything gilbert has recorded. everyone seems to forget that even if you get close to copying yngwie's style, his ability to write what he plays is a whole next level. easy to make something after someone else has done it. Oh, and gilbert looks like scrawny drowned rat.

  • @MrSuperbombastik "feeling" is just a concept invented by people who like to see "blues guitarists" making a note last for an hour while making jizz faces.

  • @TheGumboVariator , not true. evoking emotion through the use of phrasing, tension, etc is very important. overly technical, robotic playing has its limits. like special effects in a movie, there has to be story for it to be meaningful. i do think, like you, that simply holding a note isn't a free pass into guitar valhalla either. oft times blues players are not required to have a very big bag of tricks, and repeat themselves a lot. Gilbert can't touch Yngwies writing or playing.

  • @NolitaDenise yeh screw you paul has plenty of respect for the douchebag that is yngwie's ego

  • Why is he wearing headphones?

  • @deathmetalterrorist - He suffering from hearing loss and Tinnitus. So, he has to wear isolation headphones to listen to the mix at low volumes.

  • @deathmetalterrorist protect his hearing, hes practically deaf in one ear.

  • Not even close

  • Thumbs up if you came here looking for a cat fight.

  • hmmmm just sounds like paul gilbert to me.

  • Great look!

  • Buffone... 

  • @NolitaDenise He was just joking

  • i think gilbert is better than yngwie hmmm....

  • @SuperCannibalistic

    Credimi magari non lo vedi plettrare in questo video, ma quella serata ho visto cose disumane, comunque tu stesso ascoltando altre sue canzoni puoi accorgerti di che plettrata devastante disponga..

  • Definitely NOT YNGWIE!!!! Not even close...

  • @ordepcbmt I agree. It sounds a bit like Rusty Cooley and some classic video games from the 80's.

  • Obviously the poster only listens to Malmsteen ;)

  • pinche risa gacha

  • How did you get a sit in front him?

  • the video title really sounds awkward... lol.

  • @rockerhvy I actually ought to change it lol it was some years ago and I didn't know a word in english

  • @cbar0x now it's changed.. much better haha

  • @killercuz

    paul hit 20 nps in snakebite, and shawn pwns yngwie's sterile playing. yngwie never switched it up over the years, paul has. watch?v=tRJOIksICpQ lets see yngwie make something like that. i win.

  • YJM is guitar player. This is a Jocker.

  • Well, I can play Smoke on the Water

  • Paul gilbert respects Yngwie because he has been influenced by him.

    In the 80's Paul would practice malmsteen lick, songs etc like a maniac, because it was a new way to play guitar.

  • lol it's funny to read all these comments. Paul Gilbert shredded yngwie style and got bored after 10 sec. He is so funny and a very humble guy. Malmsteen is an absolutely amazing guitarist as everyone should know already but Gilbert is the same plus more variety and a great guy.

  • Sounded nothing like Malmsteen. Also, I'm pretty sure Paul respects him.

  • Notiamo che neanche Gilbert arriva alle plettrate di Malmsteen, sta legando quasi tutto.

    Ciò è tutto dire.

  • hahahah u kidding me PG fans??

    anyway ill shorten my story about this 2 gods

    Yngwie is JS BACH and Gilbert is WA Mozart.

    the point is there is no mozart if there is no BACH. ok? still, thats y yngwie stocked in some point because his music is heaven and hell, pG music is just in earth or so what ever.

  • @trifermata

    mozart would stillexist and would have made excellent music if bach never existed. get your facts straight.

  • but..yngwie is the master

  • Paul has nothing on Yngwie.

  • malmsteen - technique(10000000000000/10) , speed(100000000000000000000000­000000000/10)

    gilbet - technique(7/10) , speed(7/10)

  • @KakviBRE Nothing goes faster than Paul, even light.

  • @KakviBRE lol yngwie - technique 10/10 speed 10/10 originality 0.5/10

    gilbert - technique 10/10 speed 10/10 originality 999999999999999999999999999999­999999/10

  • @XavSch I like Paul better for sure but I think Ynwie was very unique when he first got famous. He's one of the fathers of neoclassical metal.

  • @Shun101010 yeah he really was and still is... but my comment was aimed to point out the versatility of Paul in terms of style, going through shred madness to some really soulful playing

    Cheers! :)

  • @XavSch yes, i agree with you on that. Paul has evolved and Ynwie has stayed the same throughout his whole career.

  • @KakviBRE

    paul's top nps is faster than yngwie's. that's just a fact. the only measurable things in music are time signature's and speed. paul tops yngwie in speed. guys like shawn lane and guthrie govan top both of them in technique.

  • This is pretty interesting, Paul's imitation of Yngwie reflects Yngwie's earlier playing style (back in the early Rising Force days)

  • :"I

  • Amazingly played. But no one is better than Yngwie Malmsteen

  • except Paul..

  • lol.. in my opinion you are All NooBs! 

  • Folks, Paul is just the best ass-kicker all around the world! ;)

  • he loooks like homeless bum

  • He just needs to play a Strat, gain weight and overuse wide vibratos.

  • Malmsteen wears Paul Gilbert boxer shorts

  • only gilbert can play malmsteen better then malmsteen

  • Lol I think single coils are the new thing. Joe Satriani is starting to use them again, and now Paul Gilbert is using them too. Lets just hope that Yngwie doesn't switch to humbuckers.....

  • eh? there was a single coil in the neck position. thats new.

  • Oh man.... You guys all have it wrong. Although Yngwie Malmsteen is popular for his neo classical style, he was NOT (!!!!) the one who invented it. That man was ULI JON ROTH (!!!!!!!!!!!). Yngwiei did popularize it, however.

  • Ritchie Blackmore was before both.

  • @dorielementary Yah but Uli Jon Roth is one of the fathers of Neo Classical Metal

  • Paul and Yngwie are technical virtuosos. While I love Yngwies's neoclassical style, which he created....Paul Gilbert seems more versatile as evident from his last two solo albums (which were his first instrumental albums). Gilbert can do the neoclassical as well as several other styles. But on the level of technique, they are not much different... and they both have great improvisational sensabilities. But fhe best neoclassical guitarist is Joe Stump. He beats Malmsteen IMHO.

  • @Suncreation666 he claims Jimi Hendrix and Van Halen as his Biggest inspirations...he simply claimed yngwie as one nothing special.

  • you have got to be really retarded or stupid to beleive that paul gilbert is a yngwie wanna be, they have 2 totatally different styles and everything, and none of paul gilberts stuff is very neo classical like yngwie.... you jhust wish you could play 5% as good as either of them

  • @Savatage420 LOL your a spastic paul used to play that shit in the 80's was his biggest influence

  • @Bishn0zle well maybe not his biggest influences but one of them

  • good for me- i like all Paul Gilbert, exept that Yngwie style shit, that means, even, and i say even, if that's tru, i don't give a shit :D

  • Followed By A Deafening Roar

  • okay you obviously must have never touched a guitar because 1.Paul gilbert isn't very famous. 2. He is underrated. 3. Paul gilbert has 2 or 3 solo albums that are NOT EVEN CLOSE TO malmsteens style. So stop talking out of your ass if you don't even know a thing about Paul.

  • yeah after listening to your "MUSic" i know you listen to horrible music. So what would you know.

  • suncreation you are a fucking douche bag. Paul gilbert could --RIP-- Yngwie apart in guitar speed and overall musical ability. Get out of here troll. Paul gilbert is one of the greatest living guitarists. And also, paul gilbert has alot of his own songs not even related to yngwies sound. Faggot.

  • @Suncreation666

    Hahaha Paul Gilbert is a wannabee?Yes sure buddy.

    As for YM,there you can talk about a wanabee.Okay the guy can play,but make music,nahh not really..

  • Guys I couldn't tell, was that a song or just random shredding in scales similar to Yngwie?

  • wheres the other parts?..

  • Uli touches Yngwie...in fact its common knowledge that Uli was a huge influence on Yngwie....no one touches Uli

  • so true! I gave you +1 rating :) Uli is the MAN! Saw them both at Musikmesse Frankfurt and Yngwie interrupted his signing session bacause Uli was in the crowd. that was a great moment seeing them both together talking to each other and have a good time. My two heroes!

  • no one touches yngwie man... !

  • not while he's touching himself! XD

  • Cept maybe Paul here, John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and plenty of others, Yngwie is far past overrated, sorry man.

  • Paul Gilbert Rapes Yngwie, just for the lulz.

  • goodluck with that....we all like paul but when he writes songs like-like an angel,deaming,rising force,far beyond the sun,evil eye,heaven tonight,deja vu,faster than the speed of light,fire in the sky,crying,you dont remember i will never forget,seventh sign,never die,meant to be and on and on!gimme a call when paul writtes such great songs! bb

  • Give me a call when steve vai shakes his head in disgust at Paul Gilbert like he did at Yngwie malmsteen at G3 because he plays the same thing over and over and over

  • steve vai send a guitar gift for yngwie wich says on the back-"yngwie you are greatness, and we had fun didnt we?"

  • Still doesn't change the fact that he shook his head at him for being so repetetive. Everybody knows Yngwie kicks major ass at guitar but he's a bit of a one trick pony

  • you know it doesn't really matter what you think or i think....so just listen to the god damn music and dont waste my time with comments

  • says the guy who replies to the comments =] lolz

  • Can you tell me exactly when did that happen? I'd like to see it, you know in which song? thanks

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • found it, pm'd you

  • actually i cant pm you unless you turn off friend lock or something? Get back to me or whatever when i can

  • syke.

  • and i will kick your's

  • ok aaabihshekaskdfk....u do that

  • Cause he'd just have to sit on him to win XD

    I'm kidding.

    Who cares, they're both great. Paul is just nicer, that's why he wins.

  • Lol Paul Gilbert beating his Hoe... ROFL that is a hilarious image that I cant get out of my head now, and it just hasnt stopped being funny yet

  • I agree

  • Phrygian harmonic minor? Its Phrygian dominant, the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale. basically just a natural minor scale with a sharpened 7th, and starting at the 5th degree.

  • its just gilberts style but he happend to use a scale tht yngwie generally uses so ppl associate tht with him..phrygian harmonic minor i think

  • uh nobody "does" yngwie ok? yngwie is in his own masterclass. paul gilbert is awesome yeah. but what does this have to do with yngwie? did paul say anything about him? i wish this clip was longer to see it in its context

  • MALMSTEEN IS THE KING

  • what a dumb comment

  • xD

    come on nothing is dificult to this master

  • @megahendrix

    he can't do shawn lane stuff. well, he can do some of it.

  • Comment removed

  • "anything else of what he wants"

    Meant to write "but what he want". Anyway, I hope you undestand the point.

  • well Yngwie's old and fat now, so let's laugh at him

  • Old, fat, and can still move those sausage fingers faster than most people!

  • lol....sausage fingers. Your comment made me laugh.

  • you're obviously a fucking idiot - paul gilbert is a way better guitarist then yngwie shut the fuck up.

  • lol that was his own licks not yngwie's

  • Paul Gilbert is a fun, awesome guitarist. Yngwie is also a fun, awesome guitarist.  Why compare the two? Why not just listen to them both and enjoy? No need for a compare-fest.

  • I would have agreed with you a week ago unitl I saw this video, it is not his playing but how he treats these beautiful guitars that bothers me, take a look. It leaves me with one word to describe malmsteen, TURD.

    /watch?v=cQANhRXDDt0

  • Heres a video with some footage about how Paul treats his guitars.

    /watch?v=FO72apV8npA

    around 1:40

  • are you a idiot? what the fuck is wrong with that, he has 300 guitars and they are in a room in his mansion, you think because they are sitting up against the wall its bad? wow you failed fucking tard, you dont think before he goes on stage he has professional techies checking that shit out? you think paul gilbert doesnt know how to handle a guitar? hes older then you, 500 fucking times better! now fuck you yngwie is a bitch ass fucking immigrant that will never match gilbert

  • Hey dumbass, it's obvious you're a complete moron so I will try not to confuse you.

    I made my post to show that BOTH Yynwie and Paul Gilbert treat their guitars well, you interpreted my post as the opposite as what I meant. Good job making yourself look like an idiot.

  • fuck you idiot, how can I tell, yngwie treats his guitar like shit you moron, I see 3 videos on youtube where he throws that shit and breaking it, you never see gilbert doing this so fuck off you stupid nigger.

  • I'm done with you, but before I ignore you. Know that calling people names (when they aren't deserved) only makes you look stupider than you are.

  • Wrecking guitars is part of the rockstar image, I would do it too if I had money to buy thousand more. And watch your mouth, it really makes you look more stupid when you swear that much, no ones gonna take you seriously.

    In my oppinion the sound is a lot worse than what Yngwie has. Same scales, but different(to be honest crappier) sound.

  • Really? All of this off of what I said? Do any of you think that it was worth your time to talk down to a random nobody on the internet? Do any of you have an inkling of what it means to speak persuasively? How can you convince somebody that you're right with nothing but unjustified disapproval? Your opinions are as worthless as you make those of others to be. Before we tell one another how dumb we are and how much we hate certain celebrities, I would like to think that we could shut up and jam.

  • I didnt reply to you I think..

    But I just wanted to point out my oppinon on this thing too, Im not saying anyone else should think same way cos that´s just retarded.

    So Im not "making anyones oppinions worthless".

  • LMAO, This moron actually fucking thinks Yngwie is better then Paul Gilbert... WOW, what a complete fanboy fucking loser - obviously someone is a little homo for yngwie.. fuck off dude LMAO not true at all and pretty to obvious to anyone but helen keller.

  • Like I said, "in my oppinion". I think I have just as much right to think this way as you got right to think your way. And what makes you think GIlbert is better, if it´s not the fact that you enjoy his music more? That´s not being fanboy, so dont try to be smartass here.

  • You may like his music better but gilbert is more skilled at guitar.Yngwie is incredibly repetitive.This is just the like whole slash vs buckethead thing(not saying slash is anywhere near yngwie).Buckethead/gilbert are more skilled at the guitari.Musical preference is irrelevant.

  • Yngwie just knows what he likes, I believe since Yngwie has had enough patience to learn to play that fast, he could easily learn to play all sorts off stuff, but he doesnt want to. That doesnt make him "worst", just a musician who doesnt care of anything else of what he wants. That´s the way musician should think IMO.

  • And Im not saying Im a musician, but I have dream of becoming one, and even though I like Yngwies music and I can admit it´s a pit repetive, I couldnt stick in one style for that long. I want and enjoy experiencing different music styles and such. But still I respect Yngwie for his choice and love his music anyway.

  • Don't worry, dude...alterbridge111 is a little shithead who doesn't know anything about guitar playing or music in general. Nor does he understand the difference between real groundbreakers and innovators and 2nd and 3rd wave followers such as Gilbert. Gilbert's a pretty good player, but he's not going to be remembered as somebody who started whole movements of players such as Yngwie. He'll blow away Yngwie in a jam today, but doesn't matter. He'll still be forgotten & still a follower.

  • Agreed. All you have to do is listen to Yngwie play for the first minute on Black Star to know he was a better player.

  • idiot, he just said paul gilbert was better, are you fucking retarded - and black star is nothing compared to great tracks gilbert has LMAO idiots, wow.

  • No, he said Yngwie sucks now...and i agree. But that doesn't mean that Paul was ever as good as Yngwie was in 1984, and clearly even calls his own songs Yngwie Rip Offs. Paul owes his whole career to yngwie. You're so stupid you'll never understand this.

  • fuck off, paul gilbert will be remembered by many, do you know how big mr big/racer x is in japan, wow you idiots are fucking dumb get a clue.

  • ahahaha Japan???? Who gives a fuck what's big in Japan. All old washed-up acts to go Japan to be "huge."

  • I cant understand why people call Yngwies later music worst than what it used to be. I understand that since he has had pretty much the same style from year one that it might get "boring" to some people, but I think his music isnt even close to bad these days. I think he just doesnt do so mass fitting music anymore, more of music that only other musicians understand.

  • But to me, Paul is much more influential. If i were ever an amazing musician like yngwie i would not want to be known as A shred master but also a Douche bag.

  • are you kidding... watch "paul gilbert crazy solo" and tell me anything better then that part at like 40 seconds where he is string skipping insanely fucking shred, yngwie could never do something that insane, and thats 1 fucking example, how about the gargoyle lick BAHAHAH i would love to see yngwie try that shit, ya right...

  • Uh...if you want to know where Paul got all that stuff from including the string skipping, look up "Steeler(US) - Hot On Your Heels" and her Yngwie do it in 1983

  • Also, not that I think you deserve it or will even understand it but if you want to see somebody who makes Paul and Yngwie sound like retards lookup "Allan Holdsworth - Proto Cosmos"

  • It´s still a matter of oppinion and you cant deny that. There is nothing anyone could say to you to change your mind and nothing that would change my point of view, so this whole argument is retarded.

  • Music is not a just a matter of opinion.  Sure, personal taste comes into play but musical merit is not imaginary. Some fool can't say Bach sucks and be "correct" just because it's his opinion, for example.

  • Well yeah, but there´s no doubt that Yngwies music these days wouldnt be creat. Or at least ok, if it doesnt fit to your personal tastes. There are still the melodys, harmonys and all the stuff, wich in general is called "good music".

  • Malmsteen has a room like that too...

  • fuck you

  • and take a music appreciation class that way you can actually hear Paganini's fifth Capriccio and Carcassi's seventh etude and Bach's Courante and see how true to the music YJM is then listen to Paganini Paraphrase by Uli Jon Roth n stop beating off to YJM videos and maybe learn to improvise and not just play scales as so many yngwie clones do ever seen PG play Jimi thats the shit call me an asshole w/e idc I play guitar bc its fulfilling not to impress others

  • and satriani can play all styles and focus on musicality and tone like Randy true neoclassicists(i.e: Uli Jon Roth & Ritchie Blackmore) know its not all about speed but that note choice is more important as is tone and they also know that sweeping is not appropriate as a solo over a 12 bar blues progression( Make sure you pay close attention to that part YJM worshippers) N you know who is better than YJM Albert King and he couldnt play fast maybe you YJM clones should go to a Musical Institute

  • OK WOOOOO Backup if yngwie was one of PG's biggest inspirations he would just play harmonic minor till he ran out of notes then change keys yngwie is great technically but he has lost his sense of dynamics and true musicality so when you guys who are all about playing fast learning about that you will understand what the sween means I believe Robben Ford and Jimi Hendrix were PG's biggest idols at least that's what he has said idk tho you can call me a tool or w/e idc the greats like guthrie

  • paul did say it in interviews..just look up in youtube yourself..there is even a video of paul playing i'll see the light tonight

  • haha yngwie is so horrible, even paul cant keep a straight face trying to play like that shithead

  • pretty sure Paul Gilbert says in one of his vids that yngwie is awesome

  • horrible? show me where you play better than yngwie, moron. Go on, post a video.

  • yngwie was one of paul's biggest inspirations for guitar....

  • What a fucking dork you look like making a dumbass comment like that.

  • XD grande paul quel grassone ci ha rotto i coglioni con quel su è giù sul manico

  • sounds like viking kong to me

  • who the fucks ghastly laugh is that lmao

  • you made me die out loud when you said ghastly ionno why

  • lol, i don't generally tend to use that word. it seemed appropriate for the state of the laugh on the video lamo

  • LMAO yea hes so fuckin ghastly thats why i was laughin i would have never thought of that but that it is, ghastliest bastard ever and how the fuck is that a WORD LMFAOOOOO ghastliest

  • check ill see the light tonight version from paul gilbert when he was young and then you tell me if he never imitate or just like the great yngwie!!

  • Would you ask Bach compose like Beethoven? I think not... Different styles... Different people.
