was great till 6;33 then it was a lot of noise till 9;04 the great again

[gaspar2442]

would someone get the fat guy with long hair and yellow guitar off the stage, he is just making noise

[devax1986]

Yngwie is overrated. Its like you hear the same sweeps, licks etc all the time from him. Its boring. Vai and Satriani are 5x as tastey as Yngwie will every be.

[AndGuitar69]

Vai and Sheehan.. The best combinacion ever!!!

[Galio83]

billy sheenhan the best!!!

[recordjnky]

Malmsteen, you blow Vai and Satriani away. Yngwie rules!!

[guitarstuffplace]

in the beginning the guitar tech looks like alex lifeson

[rockabilityful]

wrwfw

[rockabilityful]

Y.MALMSTEEN is classic HERO

[supercharged222]

Malmsteen is a God

[LManTehPwner]

fucking hate these twats that say fast players have no emotion....they are better then you get over it. im not a fan of fast playing but just fucking appreciate the technical ability.

[LightReaver]

@LManTehPwner Speed is obviously an important part of guitar playing, but playing fast during a whole song definitely doesn't put much soul into the music. If you check the most memorable solos they all have slow and fast parts, and that justifies the importance of speed/slow notes. You're playing with your heart when you play slow, and you're playing with your brain when you play fast. I'm not saying that playing fast is a bad thing, but hell, mix things up a little...

[1hippiehater]

Malmsteen plays guitar as if he were a machine and not in a good way. It would be possible to build a robot that could pick the string and hit the fret correctly and it would sound exactly like Malmsteen.

[sensational1982]

Its not that he doesn't have emotion but just that he represents only one type of emotion, that being intensity. Other guitar players can alternate that intensity with soft, sweet and mellow lines and display more versatility that way. If there is one thing that malmsteen lacks it is versatility.

[bbzinho5894]

toca muitoooo....

[whitelotus808]

vai looks like a ray romano and an al pacino

[hippiedp]

Billy Sheehan. Cool guy.

[guitarmaster123445]

All...so...amazing.

[mielord21]

yeah! its really hard to pull off some neo-classical with this kind of level... SUPERB!!!

[brando18guitarplyr]

Where's Paul :P

[Tomcaatt]

They seem so bored though?

[Orphen01]

What's the impressive thing about the Satriani video? Even I can do that.

[satchvaix]

@Orphen01 that he is better than you ;)

[cyjazz]

@Orphen01 You may ask him in person when you see him signing his new album at your local record store.... you 'll just have to wait in line with all those other better-players-than-him!!!

[brando18guitarplyr]

@Orphen01 i would like to see you write a song that's THAT good.

[efzt]

@Orphen01 you can't do shit but pick your nose wop. LOL

[sjbeverley]

@efzt and your so good we dont see any of your vids on here you fucking prick , now fuck off and finish your homework !!!!

[pathpub]

@sjbeverley and you...... fuckin banjo player

[JAldwin]

I owned the Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar DVD. I prefer the CD for sound quality, though, due to the better editing and volume control. Malmsteen totally drowned out the orchestra on the DVD. Also, all that time and planning and they couldn't do any better than florescent lighting?

Entertaining musician no-doubt. Get some better camera men and sound/video editors and you'll be set!

[maidenfer05]

fuck is to much talent for one video

[NearlyMars]

The fat lad at the end was laughable!

[StallionTTT]

Learn some rockology lol ur gay

[santyrush]

falta John Petrucci,..... entre otros...

[88flex88]

Wow I have never heard anything like what malmsteen played, I need more man, where can I get more?

[guillereinoso]

malmsteen la albondiga sueca!

[sk1972]

Listen to Overture 1383 or the "suffer me" solo and then tell me there's no emotion!!

nobody pulls sadness and rage at the same time out of their instrument like Mr. malmsteen!!!

[brando18guitarplyr]

where is Paul Gilbert???

[MABsk29]

Malmsteens lags like crazy

[darcol8]

i agree with Raynosastudios

[dgreatjanvi]

what's the song title?

[brando18guitarplyr]

@dgreatjanvi Juice, Steve Vai

[Nirklas]

Vai really likes his old trusty fan, Or does his hair have a life of it's own?

[schivanisixsixsix]

Really sad the younger Generation does'nt study guys like this anymore. Maybe some of the newer bands would be better if they did.

[ciuba2ka]

what's the name of the song satriani played?

[Krashintexas]

@ciuba2ka Sir, I am pretty sure the name of the song is "Midnight"

[brando18guitarplyr]

@ciuba2ka midnight

[TheChewyWun]

Wow, when did Alex Lifeson start being a guitar tech for Steve Vai? !!! LMFAO, guy's a dead ringer for Alex.

[osuprowler]

WTF!! If they have Billy Sheehan then where the heck is Stu Hamm!!!??!?1?!? If they want the best then they gotta have Stu.

[Krashintexas]

@osuprowler Sir, you are absolutely right !!

[Philmen]

MALMSTEEN KILLS

[ElPaza]

what's the name of the first song? i can't find anywhere! and uncle google it's not helpfull too!

[edthehead83]

"Juice"

:)

[ElPaza]

@edthehead83 thank's man! ;)

[TheTeargasJazz]

@ElPaza Juice

[meakmeakmeak]

@ElPaza It's called Juice. If I'm not mistaken i beleive it;s on the Alien Love Secrets C.D.

[domvac24]

Personally, I find Malmsteen boring. But that's just me. Music is very personal and we all get what we need. Out of all this, I prefer Steve Vai. I've listened to a lot of Yngwie's stuff and really, it's hard to listen too after a while. I don't hear much sensitivity, just speed and arpegio's. Hey, that's just me. If you like what you like, who else matters? Cheers, Bro's

[eloboy1]

Vai is the king! Everytime, everywhere...

[kingofmetal66665]

MALMSTEEN EL DIOS DEL NEOCLASICO

[aristeolc]

@kingofmetal66665 Amen

[jimlucas0]

@kingofmetal66665

nope that's jason becker (:

[cioaeuirtert]

Yngwie is the King of Neoclassic!

[SyvetheShairks]

In the immortal words of The Winged Avenger....

eeeeeeEARP!

[addioalre]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zisoul]

Rite on stragler,what Yngwie dose with

playin' Classical music with Heavy Rock

is no different the The BEATLES adding

Classical song to their songs.But, least

Yngwie play real Classical Guitar in his

songs than steeling them from other

Classical records.

[skjoyner]

Who is that at 4:20? That sure tickled my ears.

[redcthulhu]

That would be the one and only Satch, Joe Satriani!

[chopper818]

The song is Juice from Steve Vai's Alien Love Secrets album

[stragler123]

Yngwie gets WAY too much crap! the fact of the matter is that he takes classical music and makes it his own! for most people, they would turn to rock or blues to express creativity, but not very many people dare to get creative with classical music! He's an amazing technical player, he has plenty of emotion, and he is just an all around amazing musician! if you don't like him, that's fine, but you should at least respect him!

[Metalhead3333]

meh, to me, that's all good, but i fail to see the emotion in just blazing through a thousand notes at once. it totally ignores the emotional part of classical music, such as the melodic piano parts that chopin was able to compose. also, you say that people always dabble in blues and rock, then why dont people dabble in jazz? jazz combines technical, emotional, improvisation and technique to make a truly awesome genre of music

[stragler123]

i agree with you about the jazz part. being a jazz player myself i know about the technical emotional and improvisational requirements of jazz composition and playing. I love jazz, i also love metal, rock, and many other genres. i respect your opinion about malmsteem lacking emotion, however i disagree, cause i think he oozes emotion. Its just a matter of how you define emotion. ITs all good.

PS- i like how your name is metalhead, but you argue for jazz! sounds just like me! i love both!

[Metalhead3333]

haha yeah, fair enough, i suppose i can see what you're talking about :)  yes, both jazz and metal are great genres :) I try to be as open as possible :)

[stragler123]

yep, man you are just like me! i always try to push for musical tolerance. so many people, especially on youtube, hate on different kinds of music just cause they don't like it... its all music and music is all good!!!

youtube needs more people like you and me man!

[Kostas4e]

What is the name of the song Yngwie is playing?

[cobra339]

The song is Trilogy Suite Op 5 from "Trilogy"

The shirt is from Seinfeld "The Puffy Shirt" episode.

[GCFJXDHK310]

what's the name of the joe satriani song?

[SaulSC]

It's called "Midnight" from the album "Surfing With The Alien" (1987) Total classic, by the way.

[lv999iam]

the first song sounds like satch boogie

[cktrenzor]

Amazing...quedé impresionado!

[meanmud1]

Yeah, Malmsteen is flying, but the song is drowning fast, what a horrible piece of music!

[RichardLaarge]

Vai is probably the best here - Saying that, I like Satriani's older stuff and his latest riffs with Chickenfoot. Yngwie has always just been a bit "meh" to me - but thats just my opinion! I'm not slating him as a player, I just don't like him but I can see why people do.

[RippinSkullz]

everyone is struggling and malmsteen is like i do dis everyday bitches!!

[Badni]

They are all awsome Yngwie is the master in sweeping, Satriani is the master in Legato's and Vai's harmonics are just to die for! :P but my personal favorite is Vai but all of them have been a big insperation to me! :)

[Tancredoc]

What is the name of the song Vai plays ?

[starling421]

Juice

[soulboos]

IMPRESIONANTE LOS TRES MAS EL BAJISTA

[cetmarino1979]

I wonder why nobody ever talk about the drummer...the guys is really good also...

[777anugrah]

According to me, I think Steve Vai has the best TAPPING technique......then comes Satriani n the the rest......n in some way i think Vai is faster than Malmsteen....All this is in my opinion...I like malmsteen too....But feel vai n satriani are better...

[dokcso]

@777anugrah thats funny u said vai´s tapping is best... AND WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH EDDIE VAN HALEN!? HE IS FOUNDER OF TAPPING! -.- learn some rockology

[LinoLcl]

@dokcso shut the fuck up, if he is the founder, it doesn' t mean he is the best.

[alexander371zxd]

@dokcso

no... he isn´t realy is brian may

[KillinUrMans]

@dokcso Well you're wrong about that, Van Halen most certainly did NOT 'found' tapping ¬¬

Doesn't really matter, Van Halen is nothing compared to Steve Vai anyway.

[alexlocurto]

@KillinUrMans AMEN!

[AustralLord]

And stop copying Walter Giardino! (One of the best guitarists ever)

[fatsuperfly]

whatever im get alot of thumbs down but i dnt care,i find malmstein style just boring.ofcourse this is my opinion and this is what i feel.hes a good player n all but just cant seem to get into his playing if that offends some of u so be it

[HadBrunt99]

lol at watching how hard it is for the asians to keep up with malmsteen at some parts...that performance looks exhausting for them

[scarzz86]

O_o Malmsteen looks like some kind of classical player dude!! and damm he's fast!!

[RaynosaStudios]

I hate when people say Yngwie has no emotion...By definition: (An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are subjective experiences, or experienced from an individual point of view.) That means its what he feels. Personally if you heard any of the Baroque/Renaissance/Classical music that Yngwie plays you'd say that its stale and lipid, so I think Yngwie does a pretty good job of adding emotion to his expriences.

[RebornThroughHate]

Yngwie is one of the most emotional guitar players around, just that not many people identify with Classical music and instead look to Rock or Blues kind of feel for that. I mean, a lot of Classical playing is very fast with a lot of notes in it, where as Blues is mostly the opposite. It's really a shame, because his chops and sound are unmatched, IMO. He certainly does not deserve the criticism, because if that's the case then we should blame pretty much every Classical musician.

[gll5000]

@RaynosaStudios

[manitate]

@RaynosaStudios jajaja yeahhh !! yngwie rules !!!

[DarthKazi]

@RaynosaStudios People who say things like that, don't like classical music and/or are so musically stupid, they don't understand that music cannot be made without emotion.

[TERRANCIO]

how much emotion do you usually find in a Circus artist?

using a Full Orchestra for a 4/4 pattern is if not an insult, a waste!

and that hideous and unnecessary snare drum...

the scenery should be round, and more than 2 clowns would be needed!

but then again, people eat garbage so readily, and this guys know how to disguise the fetor!

[msqtube]

@RaynosaStudios so, ... Yngwies only emotion is "fast"?

how about Michael Angelo Batio, he's fast too, but is he an artist or a technician?

[turboromy]

@RaynosaStudios When I was in Korea back in the days, I thought anyone who said such have no taste at all, but then after I moved to US, I realized Yngwie doesn't appeal to Westerners as much as Asians.  Ynggiw is still a God to Asians. I guess its just different style appeals to different people. To me, Yngwie's music is the most emotional and intelligent.

[TheMetalGuy852]

@turboromy im a westerner and YNGWIE ROCKS!! fuck anyone who says they don't like yngwie

[japeter777]

@RaynosaStudios absolutely right =}

[tupadre381]

Sí, Yes. 

[justfine77777]

I would love to be able to play like any of these guys. I like Gilbert a bit better than these guys, but they are all good. Check out Bob Zabek. He does a original called Walk On Water that is kick ass.

[sbrave]

Wingie's timing is waaaaaaaaaay off! WTF?

[AustralLord]

AWESOME MUSIC!!!!

[dyfodoo]

the malmsteen part was awesome, the others were ok :p

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Yngwie is Amazing !! Wow!!!

[AustralLord]

Man, he just had to copy Walter Giardino, didn't he? Pretty great video!

[ageofhammerfall]

Why does every person who loves a guitar player that cant play as fast as Yngwie start to attack yngwie with idiotic stuff like he has no soul in his playing or he plays the same thing all over again ( dragonforce ) he doesn´t! if he did he wouldn´t be the guitarist he is today would he? thats right he is better than your favorite guitarists at what he does best maybe they know stuff that yngwie doen´t know how to play just saying all guitarists are good at different things.

[palmarjp]

Malmsteen's ego is in direct ratio to his talent. He's amazing, but I mean... Do the ruffles and cuffs really add that much to the performance? haha.

[pkmnoracle]

if not the weight certainly does...

[Equestional]

i agree, malmsteens ego is pretty big like his penis

[EUguitarRULE]

and you know for a facts cause you held just as it was going in yourmouth.

[francisco444]

get ur head out of ur ass..clean ur fukin ears..then talk to me about music..

btw I did'nt say anything bad about Malmsteen..he is really good..he has his style of playing and he is really fast...

but it is a FACT! dat Vai is better musician and compositor than him..

[AustralLord]

Yeah, Malmsteen has some pretty intense stuff, but overall Steve Vai is much better and more entertaining

[TriggerManSniper]

Don't worry you're not the only person in history to mistake theatrics for ego... lol He's cool as hell..!!

[Equestional]

they're japanese bitch

[mrcyde]

Gods All!!!

[TheCrazyRipper]

I fucking love Yngwie

[Mattera1]

YNGWIE ALL THE WAY!!

[ShredMaster79]

my favourite is always Yngwie, without doubt. his style is unique, he's like Paganini playing a Fender Stratocaster. Baroque 'n' Roll on, Yngwie!!!

anyway, I love JS's playing too and, of course, total respect for Steve Vai's "extravagance".

[Feeleeppo87]

generally I agree with you, but I can't agree with that Yngwie's style is "unique" cause it's as unique as all neo-classical shreders and other classical composers BUT I do love him too:) I do love Those 3 you mention:)

[ColtonSaylor713]

i pick vai

[J0r06e]

denver?

[Feeleeppo87]

yeah, denver:)

[PPavlosP]

is it only me than thinks that joe is really trying hard to do midnight here (i understand is a very tricky play)

[silvano751]

The song satch plays is Midnight from his album Surfing with the alien, just thought i'd write that cuz i didn' see anyone post it :) I can't compare these guys in greatness, they are my three favourite guitarists and have influenced me in my guitar playing quite a bit. I like Satch's style the best, but i'm not even gonna touch comparing them in skill, they are all amazing. Also, what's the song Steve plays? is it original or off one of his albums?

[fbendz]

In my opinion Vai is just dull - playing notes up and down the fret with no emotion. Yes, Yngwie is overdoing it, but at least he plays some good musik between all those extra notes he's putting in.

Just my opinion. I don't mind if others prefer Vai before Malmsteen.

[DannyLanders01]

i bet your a cool guy and all buy sir or mam you are musically dumb because vai has more emotion than malmsteen in all his playing you should listen to him more often and you'll here mlmsteen literally plays the same thing all the time dont get me wrong i like him but his music has no emotion just all shred vai is brilliant if you ask me yngwies very good at covering classical artists but his musics all the same no emotion

[fbendz]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. You don't have to bash people for not sharing your taste. I just find Yngwie's music more appealing. For example, No Parole from Rock'N'Roll (with Yngwie) is a great album by Alcatrazz. Disturbing the peace (with Vai) is completely uninteresting. Slip of the Tounge is probably the only Whitesnake album I never listen to, etc. If you like Vai, fine. Buy his albums and listen to him playing. I don't.

[francisco444]

Steve Vai is better..

Malmsteen doesnt have any emotion..music is about transmiting feelings..

You just havent heard Vai's "For the love of God" and "Tender Surrender"

then u will understand..

[EUguitarRULE]

and you fucking think Vai has it.

[IsaiahM33]

What Malmsteen is playing is his "Trilogy Opus Suite" from his Trilogy release. It's originally done with drums and bass but the orchestra is a nice touch.

[IsaiahM33]

Billy and Steve actually played together long before Shehan was ever with Mr. Big. David Lee Roth anyone?

[Xemnosin]

the drummer looks like Pat from Mr Big (maybe it is), Billy Sheehan yay! the virtuoso bass player from mr big :D I miss seeing him with Paul Gilbert But Vai really is AMAZHING!

[hantukunyit]

malmsteen is alien ..... i think it' only happend in your world

[guapodenitas]

malmsteen its alien hahahaha

[FoamingGypsy]

Steve vai must have the most unique style out of any guitarist

[TomTaker77]

i don't like yngwie malmsteen as much as i like satriani..

one reason: malmsteen plays fast as hell but satriani plays just unbelievable o_O

when satriani plays the guitar it's magic (:

but thats only my oppinion

[Matiasbiteh]

i wanna have EVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leepifer]

Hey Steve, is it a boogie? ;-)

Great inspiration from Satch.

Why Malmsteen is hated or loved !

Is because he's a genius or impostor!?

Only time will tell but it seems it's working for him.His symphonic masterpiece is just incredible!

Those guys are part of the very best because they created their own world of music and others can just (sadly) try to imitate them.

[Darkngelevil]

the masters of masters yeah!!!

[Ellz775]

can you play the "uter shit"?

if no then you shouldnt be giving he crap if yes then go ahead give him crap

[FoamingGypsy]

Don't get me wrong, malmsteen can play, and he has some nice licks and what not.... but watching him do nothing but shred as fast as he can over a beautiful orchestra which happens to be showing some progression, etc (Some signs of emotionally touching music) for 4 minutes is just vomit inducing. Technically mind boggling, yes, but good music... not so much. sorry malmsteen

[wacciosteelmenfunclu]

malmsteen= god

[mtillberg]

Wtf was that piece satriani played? sounded like crap and i'm very disappointed :(

[Rg1527]

You are musically retarded sir

[Agis12]

Satrianis was EPIC.

[EricVaiHendri]

what iz da name of da song malmsteem played plz tell me!

[r3t4y5]

I would tell you the name of the song but you dont understand that global warming is caused by solar activity.

So I won't.

[EricVaiHendri]

comeon:)

[SwordsFlame]

It's is a piece of music on his album 'Trilogy'.

[SwordsFlame]

And oh, I'm the same guy.

[cocomayor]

Vai & Satriani = Virtuosos

Malmsteen = God

[20108024]

you sir are entirely mistaken

[hantukunyit]

yngwie best but little bit arrogant........

[jrod776699]

naaahhhh!!!

[yuraoilwrestling]

They all sounded great, very inspiring and well played, some of the world's best, I will continue to reference this video for ideas to incorporate into my playing.

[RockTo76]

what satriani did ?

[NachoNinja3]

Satch is the best. Nuff sed
