Yngwie Malmsteen @ graspop 2008

[brotherhood302]

Tosin Abasi...new guitar god!!

[soluckyboy]

I agree that 'Shredders' are a dime a dozen. BUT...Yngwie writes good tunes. Alexander from 'EUTOPIA' is another example of 'shredding with SOUL' I think Alexander is overall the best musician on the planet as he plays, composes and sings also....not since hendeix or clapton have we had a musician like Alexander on the planet. Its time the great maestro gets his credit!! EUTOPIA ROCK!!

[Rokket]

@soluckyboy ....not since Hendrix...etc..etc...so back in the 80's when Joe Satriani and Steve Vai hit the scene, they were just your average run of the mill guitarists???

[DiamondDEK]

Of course he's extremely fast, but wish he would incorporate some soul into his playing. Shredders are a dime a dozen nowadays, guitarists like Gary Moore are rare.

[ShadowOfDeth1]

hands down to the god of guitar

[Nevigo]

@ShadowOfDeth1

COUGH..:)

[nemogre]

i dont get why the ego thing is haunting yngwie's name.. i can state many names in the business who are 100 times more egotistical than yngwie: ulrich, mustaine, david lee roth, AXL ROSE, to name a few.... im a guitar player myself and i like things to be done a certain way, not because of my "ego", but because if you are a playing a certain genre, there is no other way.... would you go to a vai concert to here dave weiner soloing? or to here weiner's songs?

[Troglodyte2007]

wise words!!

[drummerdave702]

No, but I sure would go to a Malmsteen concert to hear him play Rainbow, Deep Purple, or Alcatrazz.

[METALHEAD5396]

@nemogre Gene Simmons?...well said nemogre.

[nemogre]

@METALHEAD5396 simmons too... annoying

[malmsteen80]

is he playin a vintage modern or a plexi??

[gitaarservice]

He's playin' real vintage plexi's

[JunThailand]

I don't care about ego because he can play god.

[Troglodyte2007]

I realy don't understand the childish behavior of the ones fucking this video up by their shity comments on how bad they think he is, I love Richie Blackmore, I love Joe Satriani, I love Schankle, I love Vai, I love all musicians who can play the guitar redicalously fast. You know it all's, just keep on fucking eachother in the ass maybe then...

[gorethem]

Vai is a little more under control

[Troglodyte2007]

you wish

[TheF00t]

i've always fought malmsteen had the biggest ego in the universe but i got to know from my friend who is a roadie touring with lot of artists that michael angelo batio is even more ego.

[Haydensmusic]

I think it depends when and where you catch a person. When I spent some time with MAB I found him to be a truly cool and inspirational bloke.

[Troglodyte2007]

I don't care about ego, I only care about guitarplay my friend

[Sk8ingGuitarplayer]

@TheF00t explain how batio is over his head with ego, please do. because i dont

[Troglodyte2007]

Why do you bore yourself then here?

[kwasir666]

it was bored to see

[WrongStatement1]

yeah, he can play fast....but that is all he can do....everyone seem to think the best guitarist is the fastest...steve vai can acctualy play faster than yngwie, but he doesn't abuse it like yngwie, because Steve doesn't have to.

[damemkd]

vai can suck yngwie's dick in fast playing dude ...

[woelie]

Yngwie Who?

[LeftHandedJay]

the name's Yngwie , YNGWIE J MALMSTEEN

[dmangtr]

YNGWIE "FUCKING" J MALMSTEEN!!!!

And he will shred your face to pieces if you forget the "J"

[cave484]

Yngwies playing are still fantastic sence 1983.Jan Uvena in Alcatraz was a great drummer.And Barrimore Barlow "Rising Force" fantastic.Thats wy yjm.needs a new drummer now

[Nightcrawl6]

Of course there´re many better guitarists outside!! and at BYH Festival he played a bad show.and he left after 40 minutes and had to play for 75 minutes. so Saxon rocked him to hell

[Troglodyte2007]

There are not that many guitarists who take that same speed, just do it yourself you will see. He played his full hour over here on GMM belgium! Lucky us

[kalvander]

he has a horrible attitude, if things don't go his way he acts like a baby and takes off has his whole career

[nervan88]

malmsteen rules!

[Troglodyte2007]

Now I hear ya talkin'! Yngwie the Speed King!!

[Gijsbertus]

Genoten met de show van Yngwie ... blijft een TOP gitarist EN showman !

[Troglodyte2007]

Ripper was beregoe!!!! en yngwie miste indeed hier en daar een nootje. Grts Rockers

[Incisionator]

ik dacht al dat het die was.

[QuamAmoena]

Hij was fuckin zot!

[SemtexBrutus]

i was there and yngwie was boring as fuck. Once you've heard one of his songs you have heard them all. The show needed a lot more ripper.

[baila54]

malsteen ! hE SUCKS ! one hour only for SOLO ! fuck that man ! the next time watch a video of a guitar part and don't come at graspop ! we don't come at GMM to see in live a Guitar player !

[DjBeastieBas]

pff.. malmsteen sucks! Hij is gewoon een kopie van Ritchie Blackmore. Aleen Blackmore was beter....

[Troglodyte2007]

Wees blij dat er nog gitaristen rondlopen van dergelijke klasse! p.s. Ritchie Rocks! ;-)

[Peelick]

Fuck Blackmore & his Witch hat!!!!!!!!!! Yngwie dusted that bitch off decades ago!!

[Troglodyte2007]

Hey I was there to I filmed it, I'm musician myself and I can say the soundmixing was pretty good. Ripper and Yngwie are masters in music of modern times!!! grts

[Mrbicep]

Far beyond the sun was echt vet, en dat klassiek gedoe van dit filmpje ook.

[FLOYDBOY84]

his playing was amazing, but the way the sound was mixed for the whole band really made the show a stinker!! believe me i was there

[RoathRipper]

i cant believe my eyes or ears. he actually pulled tril no.5 off live, throwing his strat around but still nailing it. what a beast. speechless.

[DAHPL]

Le mec il voit le meilleur grateux au monde et il dit chiant a mourir tu ferais mieux d aller te suicider rapidement

[plurience]

on dit quil est le meilleur juste par il est superrapide...

il joue super bien, c'est claire, mais ses solo sont tous les mm. (et la rapidité fait pas tout)

moi j'y étais, et c'est vrai qucetait chiant, il en fait trop

[DAHPL]

@plurience Non c'est de la merde, le "meilleur" n'est qu'un vain concept qu'il puisse jouer vite n'est que détail ce qui importe est la mélodie donc va écouter Black Star au lieu de déverser ton torrent de merde

[sylvaingd2007]

chiant à mourir ses solos !! Y'avait que lui dans son délire !! Juste le moment d'aller boire une bière !!! hé hé hé

[grooveduke]

ik vond het een slecht optreden.ze hadden kennelijk hun dag niet.

[medra1980]

dan hedde gij toch stoppen in uw oren en va
