In the Studio with... Yngwie Malmsteen

[EMGXX84]

he would be more fast without all these jewelry

[JeevesMorris1]

I fucking hate him sooooooooooo much.

[SantaClawz22]

even rocks tight leather pants in his off time. propah

[TheTadz9]

2:19 I love my precious baseball bat!

[praetorianus72]

I don't understand why most people hate Malmsteen. He's a top one

[ericissuperman1]

he has more guitars than motherfucking guitar center.

[AlabastaJones18]

I love how interested the camara guy sounds lol

[zeLudoo]

His guitars are like his bitches. :o

[ridiska]

what strings is everybody use for solo guitar? I can't bend my LP on 22 fret .. If I do it for couple of times it fills like my finger will fall off... I use .010

[Silweror]

@ridiska im using .009 and it feels good

[screenpuller]

@TheNylonStrings... Simple, if your gonna have a hundred of the things, they may as well all be the best electric guitar model ever made! ;)

[TheNylonStrings]

I just don't understand why, if you're going to have 100 guitars, you choose to buy 100 models of the same damn copy!

[Zebonka]

6:46 ever get three sheets to the wind and try that thing on?

[Zebonka]

That's a lot of firewood.

[HolyEggRollys]

I'm sure he wouldn't mind or even notice if I just go in there and take 1 of his guitars.

[WahToneGuitars]

he's fast, but has no soul. what a tool

[IBJ57]

@WahToneGuitars Except he writes great songs with powerful melodies and emotion, but sure he plays fast so he has no soul....whatever you say.

[WahToneGuitars]

@IBJ57 Yes, whatever I say, its my opinion bro.

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

this guy has hundres of gold rolex watches, ferraris, big house, pool, own tennis yard,

but he cant afford to put his guitar up of the ground?lol

[6672rock]

If he's not going to case those extra guitars, at least he should put them on display racks with space between them so they don't get scratched up. Just leaning them against each other will get them all dinged up.

[ovomusic]

his tone is so terrible, there's no reason he should be playing vintage strats.

[TheHockeyCentral]

He has a 1954 Strat just laying around with other guitars on top of it.

I can't breathe.

[mickmos]

@TheHockeyCentral its just a fucking guitar dude. 

[TheHockeyCentral]

@mickmos Thanks for the update. I'm aware of what it is.

That guitar could also be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yngwie can do what he wants, but don't try and tell me that if you had that guitar you wouldn't keep it in a case. If not than you're retarded. And you probably need help.

[MTAlupyourass]

is that Andy filming/asking questions? sounds like him haha

[elijahshayful]

wow at first clip, atleast Michael Angelo Batio didn't show off... :)

[airhead077]

4:50 a letter of greatness!

[EnnesX]

One of the first 10 strats ever made is laying in that massive pile.  Nice.

[jeredubz24]

@EnnesX thats the way he rolls he owns the guitar not the other way around,

[iamsdeathgod]

he throws them about because he likes the look off kind of scuffed up guitars...i do to, i dont know why though?

[gnrcr]

Guitar Insurance should go and take his guitars from him.

[bulletsinmyhand]

im going to find this cunt

[ElvisBluntman777]

Would he let you borrow one of his Malmsteen Strats? To find out watch the next thrilling episode of - You will never be able to fucking play like Yngwie Malmsteen!!!

[Jean793]

Or , i can buy you some guitar stands to put those strats on :)).

[Jean793]

Yngwie don't trow away those beautiful guitars! If you don't need them, give them to your fans,and keep just a few.

[mostafoblack]

that flying v is perfect

[MrBIGserb91]

donate me one of your guitars ;DD

[popalltheway]

Malmsteen strat, Malmsteen cable, Malmsteen air, Malmsteen space/time...

[alxdd2]

This strat was made from the wood of the cross Jesus was crucified on, (throws on pile)

[StSimonMartyr]

The words of an Apostate, Perfidious Jew , damned by GOD.

+

[THEREALMOSH2]

@StSimonMartyr Racist much?

[StSimonMartyr]

Why does Israel have laws of Jew ONLY Marriage?

Racist Much?...

[JayMeDee]

@alxdd2 Watching him abuse his guitars HURTS.

[gamabutas]

@alxdd2 actually that Strat was made from the Wood of Uli's first crashed guitar.

[jokas96]

Noisegate...

[stormchoir2000]

he treats his guitars like shit!just chucks them on top of each other!

[ksmithdc]

@stormchoir2000 Who cares? That's his personal property...he can do with the guitars as he wants.  Hendrix BURNED his guitars on stage - and nobody's bitching about that.

[DinoDyl]

@stormchoir2000 Hear how he's playing. Ofcourse he treats them like shit.

[nicklei369]

@stormchoir2000 its called hardcore-self-aging.

[sonicfuker]

I keep farting.

[tiagoaguiarguitar]

4:55 ... Ibanez JEM7v ... the best guitar he got there ;)

[angusgrandison]

The fact that he predominantly uses Fender Strats (which Hendrix made iconic) and he alone scallops the necks which is a very unpopular thing to do says to me that he influences very few musician but plenty of knuckle heads who think playing fast like a bad fucking Zelda computer game is where its at!

well, I guess it must be at some place for some people but it sure as shit isn't near listenable for me!

Having got that off my chest, I really do like the way he treats expensive guitars tho!

[epic103]

@angusgrandison

Actually, you are wrong!! Yngwie loves Hendrix music, and hails Hendrix as the Jesus of rock guitar!! He has played Hendrix songs in his live shows!!

I will send you a video clip of Yngwie praising Hendrix!!

CHEERS!!

[angusgrandison]

@epic103 put this in your youtube search and watch it:

Yngwie Malmsteen - I Never Played Hendrix Riffs (2 of 3)

[epic103]

@angusgrandison

So??? I have seen it, what does that prove??

Yngwie still loves Hendrix's music, and plays his songs live!! Even on the G3 tour Yngwie does a cover of Voodoo Child.

Just type "Yngwie talks Hendrix" on Youtube and you'll see Yngwie praising Hendrix!!

[RustyPease]

@epic103 ...callling jimi's music noise just shows what a prick he is...check for yourself watch?v=Rpx0JAwph_c

[MrSteve988]

@RustyPease It's called an opinion, deal with it

[RustyPease]

@MrSteve988 ....yeah right, now im gonna tell any crap that crosses my mind and as defence i will say: it's called an opinion deal with it....

YJM is nothing than a playback of classic music at double speed ...it's my opinion, deal with it ;)

[10078g]

@RustyPease yes thats exactly what he is......but it sounds fucking awesome!.

[epic103]

@RustyPease

You are misinformed!! He didn't mean it the way you think he did!!

Like I said, Just type "Yngwie talks Hendrix" on Youtube and you'll see Yngwie praising Hendrix!!

See for yourself!!

[ironrzk]

@RustyPease my opinion only: jimi's music IS noise!

[angusgrandison]

This Ass twat says Hendrix had no influence on him and that Hendrix's music was just noise!!

What a fucking joker, he thinks his playing style is more musical than Hendrix (guitar athletics is missing the point of playing music) but this stupid fucking moron uses pentatonic scales the same way he scallops necks and uses English.....a big fucking mistake packed into the quickest error which only serves to spew out shit!

[MegaFretboy]

i remember wheb i fist started playing guitar i watched this video and saw how he treated his guitars. i lost all respect for malmsteen at that point. five years later, my opinion hasn't changed...

[MetalSupporter95]

HOLY SHIT O.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[yoshu2]

LOL he treats the guitars in the corner as if their were toys.

[CursedMachinee]

0:18 sick .-.

[GREGCAROLAN]

"this is one of the first strats made..." then throws it back into the pile

[thethethetheluis]

wtf he doesnt even keep them on stands? lol

[momdieddad]

He sounds like James Hetfield.

[masternippleblaster]

Ha, ha, ha, ha he looks like Elvis!

[epic103]

@masternippleblaster

And you wish you looked like Elvis!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!

[masternippleblaster]

@epic103 Certainly not like this "Elvis"! :) Although wouldn't mind to have a fraction of his skill! :P

[epic103]

@masternippleblaster

Yes, certainly like this Elvis!!!

And I am sure you look like Brad Pitt???

[masternippleblaster]

@epic103 What, them sideburns, glasses and bulky face don't remind you of the King? Just a bit? Oh I am sorry, did I offended your idol? I am so sorry! It want happen again I promise! Btw, why Bred Pitt? You got a thing 4 Bred?

[epic103]

@masternippleblaster

Relax, I was just having some fun!!

However, it does annoy me when people always criticize his weight and looks. To me it's like, who cares!!

If Yngwie had one eye and was 600lbs, I would still think he's one of the greatest guitarists that's ever lived!!

Plus, I have met him twice and have seen him in concert about 10 times, and he really isn't as fat as everyone makes him out to be!! He does have a bulky face, but he is thinner that you would expect!!

CHEERS!!!

[masternippleblaster]

I never EVER doubted his skill and ability for music, performance, composition and extravaganza, just to make it clear! He was, is and God help, will be one of the most influential musician I ever had the privilege to listen live! There are others but as my friend use to say: There is only one guitar player in the world - all other are just six string musicians! That is his statement which I support up to a certain point. But anyway I am glad that our conversation didn't end up ugly! Respect!

[epic103]

@masternippleblaster

Agreed!!!  Peace and safe journey!!

[masternippleblaster]

Regarding his looks... At first it was meant to be funny but then it came to me that beside the "similarity", he also used to "share" kings unhealthy living style! Now, that is not good considering that we, music affectionados have lost to many good musicians already! It seams that such genius and lifestyle comes always in a drug-related "package"... Therefore, Yngwie, please for Christ's sake, lose some weight, stop eating and drinking shit, we and the music need you much longer then you think!

[epic103]

@masternippleblaster

Actually, he is much healthier today!! He doesn't drink or smoke anymore!! Believe it or not he actually plays tennis nowadays!!

Like I said, he is a lot thinner in person!! His face is pudgy, but he is actually much thinner than you would expect!!

But I agree, I hope he lives for another 100 years!! There are not many great musicians like him that are left!! I hope he sticks around to create more great music!!

CHEERS!!!

[masternippleblaster]

@epic103 Glad to hear that! Hopefully he'll be around 4 at least 100 years! Respect m8!

[EGGJAZZ]

interviewer sounds like rob barrat from cannibal corpse

[MegaSerso]

I dont understand why everybody is so pissed,

he is a brilliant guitar player and he deserves what he has

its because hes done for music and guitar playing that he has a lot of money and shitload of guitars, get over it, youd be just like he is if you were the players just like him :-))

[cracker27]

I wonder how pissed he'd be if he just fell onto his pile of guitars one day...

[AbyssOfShred]

I don't get why people think Malmsteen is a horrible guy.

I never met him but he comes across to me as a normal guy but knows he has plenty of talent and he's proud of himself

[roflmatt36]

wow this guy is rich why the hell doesnt he buy some fucking guitar stands

[AdvancedBBear]

What a materialistic asshole. Just throws his guitars around

[SuperToother]

I would have a shrine built for each of those guitars. Especially the sky guitar! DID YOU SEE HOW IT WAS FALLING?! There's like 30 of those in existence! The modern day Stradivarius instruments!

[CanadianCharlie64]

What an asshole, big ego and a big chip on his shoulder

[BPECA1]

proof that owning an expensive, fancy, polished guitar don't mean shit.

[ASPfan420]

I met him at Mars Music about 10 yrs ago...he signed a poster for me

[kierannn]

biggest cunt.

[epic103]

@kierannn

2nd biggest, you're the biggest!!!

[kierannn]

@epic103 ... cool story bro.

[reteeemil]

He got a nice log pile

[dark666shredder]

cool man drinking diet coke

[Cyanide5151]

Just chucks his guitars around like they're not worth anything...

[BAJARACER43X]

never loan him a guitar

[itchyballz300]

This belongs in Spinal Tap.

[merocket]

I was waiting for him to tell us we weren't allowed to look at one of those guitars or show us the new 'Mach' piece he was working on.

[SP1D3RMAN75]

Those fenders are boring to look at lol

[itsraininglool]

this asshole he treats this guitars like pieces of shit he should give them away to people like me

[MatKiller1197]

this room is so fucked up i like Batios room better

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

@MatKiller1197 I like this one best, batios is too bright for me

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

Yngwie really likes that yellow and white

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

Why are there pink, make-up adverts on a yngwie malmsteen video?

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

This is what i wanna do when I'm older

[ts808heaven]

54' strat in black? Hmm, unless its a 54' neck and mid 50's + custom color black. Black was a custom color til mid late 50's. Otherwise 2 tone sunburst was the color for 98% of all strays In the 50s

[JAD3889]

hmmm a bunch of the same old school white fender strats, that's nice.

[GnrRnR13]

idk weather hes drunk, or weather he just doesnt giv a fuck about caring for his guitars...he just puts him back and lets them bang others ]like there toys, idc how much money you have c'mon man!

[MegaSerso]

everybody is ok with the load of wood under fingertips while playing but yngwie, cause it doesnt make sense when u play on the neck just like everybody elses

[Frommel2000]

Very interesting... *yawn*

[LeftHandedDesign]

Those aren't just pretty little baffles...they're proper.

[KingOfRockSantiago]

Wow very good guitars but i wouldnt have them stacked up that way

[aussiesteveable]

Yngwie rules

[Javierv92]

1: 46 i´m afraid i´ll never will see so many guitars.

[DennChooch]

its funny how yngwie is the only artist that most of us love yet none of us minds calling him a dick.

[Mrgyn]

@DennChooch

Exactly. I love the guy but he IS a douche.

[GnrRnR13]

@DennChooch Axl Rose.

[antimatter07]

4:55 steve vai gave malmsteen a jem with a BFG on it BigFatGuitarist

[TheBlasterX]

He has Vai's guitar

[br00talBronco2]

I dont get why people hate yngwies attitude, everyone knows he's the best and he knows it too, whats wrong with that?

[Bludhoundz8]

@br00talBronco2 Except he isn't. He is ONE of the best, there is no THE best. But I do agree, I feel like everyone is just jealous... I highly doubt anyone here knows him personally, so there just making pointless assumptions that they truly can't back up... it's annoying.

[Blargaha]

@Bludhoundz8 I agree, he's the fuckin' fury, but he's not the best:)

[epic103]

@Bludhoundz8

Great comment, and one of the smartest things I have heard!!!

CHEERS!!!

[spider62able]

@MetallicaFanforeverYou may not think he's "that great" but you can't deny the skill and talent the man has! So your not a fan, but no one likes a hater!I Live and let live is my motto!

[THEGUITARSHAMMAN]

1968 strat..."just another one"...YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE WISH THEY COULD HAVE A 68 STRAT?!!!!!!

[UncleTito72]

@THEGUITARSHAMMAN Not only that, but he just threw the 54 in the pile like if it was "just another one" too

[Superthatdudeguy]

maybe one i will have an ass load of guitar on my floor too :P

[Macsk8ing]

Holly shit, a buch of vintage cream Fender Strats piled on the floor, my dream.

[ANorthHare]

That's like my guitar collection, except with more guitars!

[alxdd2]

Dick

[unincorporated1]

Yngwie, Y U no take better care of your rare guitars?

[liogarus]

I hate how he treats his instruments...

[MetallicaFan4ever5]

@liogarus Even though is awesome skills, this dude is a douchebag, i hate his attitude

[liogarus]

@MetallicaFan4ever5 yeah...

and I dont think he is that great...

[MetallicaFan4ever5]

@liogarus he plays the same thing over and over again.

[TheRobb2223]

U are the Dick

[alpha1shadow]

the floyd rose on yngwie's v is one of the first floyds. it doesn't have the whale tale on it.

[Bonehand]

how delighted he says "has the malmsteen strap"

[YouCanSqueezeMyLemon]

i have many of these... fuck sake

[jinete2420]

es un perrrroooooo!! -en mexicano significa ke toca bien-

[crrdaniel]

IF I HAD EACH OF THESE GUITARS IN MY POWER, I WAS VERY HARD MONEY RICO.DEVE each

[crrdaniel]

SE EU TIVESSE CADA GUITARRA DESSAS EM MEU PODER ,EU ESTAVA RICO.DEVE VALER MUITO DINHEIRO CADA UMA DELAS..KKKK

[bombcatd]

best guitar player ever.

[funkster007]

Oops, sorry Uli! 5:05

[StanleyKu]

His guitars get more banged up from his concerts than they do leaning on each other. Calm down people!

[flipsy87]

i like how he just piles his guitars up, makes them sound better somehow

[savioncurls]

as he gets older, he reminds me of ozzy

[UTOOBER999]

Don't forget to write in your will who gets all of your shit when you die. Especially your clever comments and rants on youtube. That shit's gotta be priceless.

[Obelisk2290]

feel, emotion, discretion, and taste optional

[matiasalba46]

he can clean his ass with a guitar!

[zachbchico]

im sorry but what an asshole

[disturbedbass49]

I want the yellow one

[donovan123123]

@jimbosharp66

I was thinking cunt ... but very well...!!

[FootofaFerret]

such a huge pile of amazing guitars, and probably none of them are ever played

[danuplo]

ดู พี่แกวาง กีตาร์ซะ

[son0fsocal]

Its funny how surprised he is finding out he fucked up a 68¡

[functfusion]

Cribs: YJM

[questacris]

what a fuckin idiot

[R3INCARNATION]

Incredible how the guitars are beating. Seems he doesn´t mind having his guitars with scars! :(

[Dreamdancer11]

@R3INCARNATION Well its understandable to a point.If you were given guitars left and right as gifts and you also had your signature guitar line...after a while you would end up with more than you can handle(or care for that matter).Plus he is a real player not some kind of guitar nerd spending most of his time polishing his axes.He wears his guitars down with his vibrato alone....lol.

[MetalGuy5150]

What an ass

[donnjuansohn]

I thought: "what do they want to paraphrase with "Armor""? .......SHIT! C'MON :D :D :D

[xTriplex13]

@jimbosharp66 Its what happens when you got millions

[juliannba08]

fell the stratooo!!

[backseatdriver03]

I bet the guitar Ynqwie gave to Vai is in Steve's garage

[tango616]

Yes he's a douche and full of himself, at least he can back up his ego a little with some of the best neo-classical playing there is.

ALSO, shut up about his pile of guitars, stands are like 12 bucks a piece, not much, BUT, when you have like, 100 guitars, that's not only a lot of extra money, but that takes up much more room.

[coffinshaker]

He sure has ruined some nice guitars

[virusdetection]

almost every guitar he owns needs to be restrung
